Seeing how badly confused the Three Sacred Treasures were, Liu Zhi knew that his plan had been half a success.
From what had happened just now, Liu Zhi could tell that the projections of the Three Sacred Treasures had power, but couldn't last.
Otherwise, they could simply have left their projections here instead of going out of their way to find a few items for them to inhabit.
So after losing the three weapons and pieces of equipment they had inhabited, the projections of the Three Sacred Treasures instinctively began searching for new vessels.
However, the weapons they had inhabited before were all chosen to suit the traits of the Three Sacred Treasures and had even been modified.
The one Liu Zhi had left behind didn't meet their requirements.
So while Liu Zhi was dealing with the three pieces of equipment below, the projections of the Three Sacred Treasures had already used up some of their energy.
They now needed to enter some items and replenish their energy supply.
But Liu Zhi had given them a difficult problem.
He had turned the three items into two—or rather, combined two into one—while leaving the third unchanged.
If they were three gods, they could surely have reached a compromise after considering their options.
But these were only projections of the Three Sacred Treasures. They weren't even the Three Sacred Treasures themselves, and they didn't have their own spirits.
How could they possibly compromise?
And so, the projections of the Three Sacred Treasures, which had worked so well together, finally split apart.
Only the projection of Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi kept attacking Liu Zhi. The rest all rushed to claim vessels for themselves.
Liu Zhi naturally wasn't going to miss this opportunity.
