Gu Yuena Shocks! God of Wind! Top-Ranking Rare Treasure!

Gu Yuena took a deep breath, struggling to steady her racing heart.

She turned around, looking at the group of bewildered beasts behind her, and explained in a low voice:

"You only need to know one thing."

"The so-called Supreme Divine Artifacts of the God Realm, such as that Asura Demon Sword or the Sea God Trident, are like wooden sticks meeting a refined steel sword when compared to this Supreme Divine Artifact."

"They are not even on the same level."

"Even the Silver Dragon Spear in my hand would likely not last a single exchange against it."

Hearing this, the color drained instantly from Di Tian's majestic face.

Not even comparable to the Lord's Silver Dragon Spear?

That Wind God actually held such a heaven-defying item in his hands?

"This Wind God Venti..."

Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes, her mind racing.

"He's got something."

"No, he has far too much!"

She had originally thought this Wind God was merely an anomaly among humans, or perhaps the successor of some reclusive deity.

But now it seemed his background was unfathomable.

Possessing such a divine artifact, he could walk sideways through the God Realm even without a godhood.

"For such an existence, our soul beast clan must absolutely not make an enemy of him."

Gu Yuena made a prompt decision.

Soul beasts were currently in decline, and the God Realm was eyeing them like a tiger stalking its prey.

If they could win over such a powerhouse, or at least establish friendly relations, it would bring immeasurable benefits to the future of the soul beasts.

"Di Tian."

Di Tian hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Your subordinate is here."

"Lord, since this Wind God is so powerful, why don't I head to Godwind City right now and pay him a personal visit..."

"No, you cannot."

Before Di Tian could finish, Gu Yuena shook her head.

She looked over Di Tian's black robes and his fierce, menacing appearance.

"Your killing intent is too heavy, and your looks are..."

Gu Yuena paused, leaving the words "too fierce" unsaid.

"You are the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King; your aura is too overbearing. If you go rashly, it will easily be mistaken for a provocation or a challenge."

"If you were to cause that Wind God any displeasure, it would be counterproductive."

Di Tian was stunned, then gave a wry smile.

His appearance and temperament were indeed ill-suited for diplomacy.

Gu Yuena's gaze shifted, finally landing on a woman not far away, dressed in a jade-green gown with a gentle and soft temperament.

Emerald Swan, Bi Ji.

"Bi Ji."

"Your subordinate is here," Bi Ji replied softly.

"You shall represent our Star Dou Forest and make a trip to Godwind City."

Gu Yuena instructed:

"Take some specialties from the Life Lake, along with those few ten-thousand-year spiritual herbs."

"Remember, keep a humble posture."

"You are an Auspicious Beast; your aura is peaceful, and you are of the healing type, making you the least likely to provoke hostility."

"Go and sound out that Wind God; if you can meet him, that would be best."

"If you cannot see him, do not force it. Just deliver the gifts and express our goodwill."

Bi Ji nodded, a trace of determination flashing in her gentle eyes.

"Rest assured, Lord, Bi Ji understands."

Godwind City, inner courtyard of the City Lord Mansion.

Seeing the longbow named "Skyward Harp" on the Sky Curtain, Venti rubbed his chin.

There were no great ripples in his clear eyes, only a hint of surprise.

He had indeed used this bow in the past to commemorate Dvalin.

He just hadn't expected the Golden Ranking to elevate its quality directly to the level of a Supreme Divine Artifact, even imbuing it with an unreasonable rule-based attribute like Absolute Penetration.

"Teacher! Is this really yours?"

Shui Yue'er, that girl, was the most impatient of them all; she had already circled behind the grand armchair, grabbing Venti's sleeves and shaking them vigorously.

Her large eyes were filled with sparkling stars, and her cheeks were flushed with excitement.

"That's a Supreme Divine Artifact!"

"Even Tang San's Asura God Sword doesn't compare to it!"

Bai Chenxiang, standing to the side, was also brimming with excitement. Although she didn't get handsy like Shui Yue'er, her gaze remained glued to Venti, unable to look away.

Who could have imagined that their cheap master, who spent his days doing nothing but drinking, eating apples, and slacking off, was actually the Wind God who had triggered such heaven-and-earth phenomena?

And he had produced a Supreme Divine Artifact as if it were nothing.

This thigh to hug was practically thicker than the Clear Sky Sect's!

Shui Bing'er was the elder sister, after all, and possessed a calmer temperament, yet even her breathing grew somewhat rapid at this moment.

She looked at Venti and asked softly:

"Teacher, since the Skyward Harp is ranked third, does that mean this bow in your hand is your strongest weapon?"

Hearing this, Venti took a bite of the apple in his hand and mumbled vaguely:

"Strongest?"

"Not quite."

He swallowed the fruit flesh and waved his hand quite casually.

"This bow is just alright. It's fine for playing music, but its killing intent isn't heavy enough. I usually just use it to make do."

Make do?

Hearing those two words, the three girls nearly fainted on the spot.

A Supreme Divine Artifact, used just to make do?

If word of this got out, he would likely be drowned by the spit of every soul master on the continent.

Venti looked up at the Sky Curtain, his tone remaining relaxed and carefree:

"If nothing goes wrong, the first and second places coming up should still be my things."

As soon as these words were spoken, the courtyard fell instantly silent.

Even Feng Xiaotian, who was bitterly washing apples in the corner, nearly dropped the basin in his hands from the shock.

There were two more that were even more powerful?

Shui Yue'er widened her eyes, her speech stuttering:

"T-Teacher, are you saying that the top four... are all yours?"

Venti shrugged.

"What's so strange about that?"

"Each artifact has a different function, and I use them depending on my mood."

"If I want to listen to a tune, I use the Skyward Harp."

"If I want to buff someone, or simply want to be lazy, I switch to something else."

Having said that, Venti paused and added quite modestly:

"But in terms of raw power, those remaining two are indeed a little bit stronger than the Skyward Harp."

He held up his fingers, gesturing a tiny gap.

Watching their teacher's "I am very low-key" act, the female disciples looked at each other, only two words in their minds:

Absurd.

Heaven Dou City, Tang Sect headquarters.

The atmosphere inside the meeting hall was exceptionally oppressive and heated.

Everyone's eyes were fixed firmly on the cyan longbow displayed on the Sky Curtain.

Ma Hongjun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and muttered:

"Good heavens, this bow looks fierce."

"Absolute Penetration... doesn't that mean that as long as it locks onto a target, nothing can defend against it?"

Ning Rongrong was also stunned by its brilliance.

As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had seen countless treasures, but in front of this "Skyward Harp," the Soul Tools she had seen before were nothing more than scrap metal.

Tang San, sitting in the main seat, narrowed his eyes, the light of his Purple Demon Eye flickering in his depths.

His breathing was even heavier than Ma Hongjun's.

Greed.

An uncontrollable, rampant greed was growing wildly in the depths of his heart.
