Recovering the Azure Abyss Sword Tip

Before the Blood Demon Cave, everyone watched as the Devil Cultivator were completely wiped out.

The Heavenly Pivot Fairy stood quietly in the void, her expression quite solemn.

After a long while, she spoke, "That Blood-Transforming Old Devil has escaped this time, and he will likely cause a lot of trouble in the future. If you discover his whereabouts, report it to me immediately."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi felt a strange pressure in her heart.

The fact that the Blood Demon was able to escape with his life this time must be due to a scheme orchestrated by a demonic cultivator with a primordial spirit.

Although Devil Cultivator are selfish and self-serving, they have cultivated to the Primordial Spirit realm, which means they cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

Although such beings have suffered many calamities, since they were able to break through to the Primordial Spirit realm, they must have already formed a demonic heart, and their overall perspective is naturally not measured by ordinary Devil Cultivator.

In fact, the Demonic Path Primordial Spirit of the Purple Yin Realm, though seemingly high and mighty, have their own considerations when dealing with Human Race and Outer Realm Demon God.

They were originally the supreme ancestors of the Demonic Path in the Purple Yin Realm, figures of unparalleled nobility. If the Outer Realm Demon God were to descend, they might very well face certain doom.

However, they had no choice but to rely on the power of the Outer Realm Demon God, because without the pressure from the Outer Realm Demon God, these Demonic Path Primordial Spirit would probably be hated by everyone and would become stray dogs under the attack of Human Race Primordial Spirit.

Therefore, the demonic Primordial Spirit were very cautious in considering the Abyssal Demon Calamity.

They feared both the invasion of the Purple Yin Realm by Outer Realm Demon God and the growing power of the Human Race. As for their internal plans, each demon Primordial Spirit likely had its own considerations.

Furthermore, the Primordial Spirit of the human, demon, and monster races are not without their grudges and animosities. Many of the Demonic Path Primordial Spirit were originally righteous Primordial Spirit who fell into demonic ways, and their relationships can be described as intricate and complex.

Such complex relationships cannot be simply categorized as good or evil, and it would be difficult to unravel them in a short time.

Regardless, it's actually quite rare to see Devil Cultivator still disregards the bigger picture after reaching the Primordial Spirit realm. The most recent one was the Blood Demon Ancestor, who was renowned throughout the world.

That Blood Demon Ancestor was ruthless and dared to take advantage of the Abyssal Demon Calamity to frantically sacrifice the Human Race, even causing the great defeat of the Human Race in the Eastern Wilderness that year. In the end, he naturally met his doom and was personally killed by Emperor Jiang in the Infernal Flame Sea.

Currently, this Blood-Transforming Old Devil has inherited the legacy of the Blood Demon Ancestor and cultivated the Blood Demon Reincarnation Art, making his ability to preserve his life extremely astonishing.

He had escaped the Star Palace's pursuit many times in the past, but this time even with Heavenly Pivot Fairy personally coming, he thought he had a sure chance of survival, yet he still managed to escape with his life.

It's clear that he either received secret guidance from the Blood God Ancestor or obtained most of the Blood Demon Ancestor's inheritance; neither of these is good news.

"We obey."

The crowd nodded, their expressions showing respect.

Upon seeing Heavenly Pivot Fairy tore open the void with a flick of her sleeve and vanished into the boundless void in an instant.

After Heavenly Pivot Fairy left, Jade Balance Star Lord took out all the treasures, then shook his head and said, "There are quite a few treasures from Devil Cultivator, but unfortunately most of them are useless to us."

Chen Nianzhi glanced at it and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Most of these captured Demon Treasure were high-level Demon Treasure, many of which were extremely powerful, but unfortunately, they were mostly of little use to the Human Race.

The only valuable items, besides some Tier 5 spiritual objects and two Tier 5 Upper Grade Spirit Treasure, were the nine Star Fragment left behind after being refined by the Demon Spring in the forbidden area of Blood Demon Cave.

However, these were not what Chen Nianzhi was concerned about. What truly made him frown was the tip of the Azure Abyss Sword.

Surprisingly, the tip of the Azure Abyss Sword was not among these treasures. After the Desolate Old Devil Desolation was killed, Chen Nianzhi personally checked the Storage Bag but did not find it.

The inability to find the sword tip caused Chen Nianzhi's heart to sink slightly, and he revealed a solemn expression.

Noticing the unusual expression on Chen Nianzhi's face, the Jade Balance Star Lord smiled and asked, "Fellow Daoist, is there something you've taken a fancy to?"

"Ah, yes." Chen Nianzhi realized what was happening and quickly said with a smile, "I have a Upper-Tier Spirit Treasure that requires nine Star Fragment to refine, and I'm still short six."

"I see." Jade Balance Star Lord smiled and said, "Our Star Palace is not short of Star Fragment. If you have an equivalent spiritual item, you can exchange it with me."

"Thank you very much."

Chen Nianzhi spoke, he took out several Tier 5 spiritual items and exchanged them for four Star Fragment. In addition, he exchanged two more star fragments with the merits he earned from this battle with Jiang Linglong, making a total of six Star Fragment.

After acquiring the treasure, Chen Nianzhi, preoccupied with the matter of the tip of the Azure Abyss Sword, did not wish to linger any longer.

He then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, smiled, and said, "Since this battle is over, I shall take my leave now."

Go ahead.

After leaving the Blood Demon Cave, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong flew towards the Ji Continent.

On the way, Jiang Linglong frowned and said with a solemn expression, "That Blood-Transforming Old Devil is not dead. This has created Karmic Retribution, and we will likely face considerable trouble in the future."

"The best course of action now is to find the sword tip and retrieve the Azure Abyss Sword as soon as possible."

"Kindness."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, a sense of urgency creeping into her heart.

The two hurriedly returned to Spirit Isle Lake and immediately went to the underground Water Vein to seek an audience with the Azure Abyss Sword.

The Azure Abyss Sword, submerged in the source of the Water Vein, saw the two and said, "Judging from your expressions, this journey seems to have encountered some difficulties?"

"Exactly."

Chen Nianzhi nodded and explained the whole story to Chen Nianzhi.

After hearing this, Azure Abyss Sword said with a hint of joy, "Now that the Desolate Demon Ridge has been destroyed, you don't need to worry anymore."

"According to my senses, the tip of my sword is still in that Desolate Demon Ridge."

"Still in the Desolate Demon Ridge!"

Chen Nianzhi looked delighted, but also somewhat puzzled, and asked, "But why didn't I sense it?"

The Azure Abyss Sword floated in the void, the cracks on its blade completely gone, indicating that the injury had healed considerably.

It reflected the crystalline light and said with a faint smile, "As the saying goes, divine objects conceal themselves; naturally, they possess the ability to protect themselves."

"My sword tip fell into the Desolate Demon Ridge thousands of years ago. During this time, the Desolate Demon Ridge has changed hands several times, but it has always remained within the Desolate Demon Ridge. It is likely that none of the recent masters of the Desolate Demon Ridge have discovered it."

"Fine, I'll go with you down the mountain and retrieve the sword tip."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi said happily, "Thank you for making the trip, senior."

"..."

The two took the Azure Abyss Sword and concealed their presence as they flew towards the Desolate Demon Ridge.

Before long, the two arrived outside the Desolate Demon Ridge. Chen Nianzhi took out the Azure Abyss Sword and said with a solemn expression, "Senior, do you sense anything?"

"Found it."

The light of the Azure Abyss Sword trembled slightly, and a soft tremor suddenly came from within the Desolate Demon Ridge. A withered branch suddenly flew into the sky and arrived in front of the two.
