Golden Dragon Demon Slaying Sword
"Kid Shi, this is a Houtian Immortal Artifact. It should have given birth to a Tool Spirit, so it won't be easy to control. It's not like the Houtian Immortal Artifact Green Mulberry Demon Slaying Sword, which you could subdue so easily," Xiaoyaozi reminded him.
With an ordinary treasure, Shi Yue could naturally subdue it. But the Golden Dragon Demon Slaying Sword was an Houtian Immortal Artifact. There probably wasn't another Houtian Immortal Artifact anywhere in the Cultivation World.
Houtian Immortal Artifacts were born from heaven and earth. Once they appeared, they had a Tool Spirit. In terms of rank alone, the Golden Dragon Demon Slaying Sword was far above the Heaven Controlling Bead. The Heaven Controlling Bead wasn't a Houtian Immortal Artifact; otherwise, True Lord Tian Xu wouldn't have refined a wisp of Xiaoyaozi's remnant soul into it.
Of course, the Heaven Controlling Bead could grow. Once it reached its ultimate form, it might not be inferior to a Houtian Immortal Artifact.
But right now, if the Golden Dragon Demon Slaying Sword was allowed to keep wreaking havoc inside Palm Heaven Space, forget about protecting the Rare Spirit Herbs—the Heaven Controlling Bead itself might be damaged.
A Houtian Immortal Artifact had already given birth to a Tool Spirit. It certainly wouldn't submit to Shi Yue so easily. Subduing the Golden Dragon Demon Slaying Sword would be extremely difficult, and he might even lose his life trying.
Shi Yue understood this too. The Houtian Immortal Artifact had just taken shape and given birth to its Tool Spirit; this was the best time to subdue it. If he waited a while, the Houtian Immortal Artifact would likely mature and develop an independent consciousness. By then, subduing its Tool Spirit would be impossible.
