Repairing the Azure Abyss Sword

A few days later, Chen Nianzhi arrived at Haoran Peak and met True Lord Haoran, whom she hadn't seen for many years.

True Lord Haoran, dressed in a white Confucian robe, sat cross-legged in the main hall, looking at Chen Nianzhi. Compared to when True Lord Haoran was young, his cultivation had actually advanced further, reaching the Nascent Soul Eighth Layer realm.

However, upon seeing the two, True Lord Haoran's eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled and said, "It's been over a hundred years, and your cultivation has progressed quite well."

"I had some fortuitous opportunity, so my cultivation progressed somewhat quickly," Chen Nianzhi said, then asked, "Did True Lord achieve his goal on this trip?"

"It went fairly smoothly."

True Lord Haoran smiled slightly, seemingly unwilling to discuss the matter further at this moment, and said, "I am preparing to reconnect the Earth Vein of the Skyline Mountain Range, and that is why I have summoned you here."

Chen Nianzhi had already figured out the purpose of his trip, and said with a smile, "If True Lord has any matters to attend to, this junior will naturally do his utmost to assist you."

Seeing that he agreed, True Lord Haoran said, "Back then, the Heaven's Spine Mountains was at the near -Quasi-Tier 6, with dragon veins growing within it, and its rank was almost touching the threshold for advancing to the Tier 6."

"Back then, in order to break through to the Primordial Spirit, the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor forcibly tore open the Heaven's Spine Mountains and devoured the power of the dragon vein."

"To reconnect the Earth Vein, we not only need to rebuild the power of the mountains and Heaven's Spine Mountains and repair the ruptures that were torn apart in the past, but we also need to restore the Earth Vein dragon soul."

As True Lord Haoran explained in detail, Chen Nianzhi roughly understood the difficulties in repairing the Heaven's Spine Mountains.

After the Heaven's Spine Mountains vein was practically shattered. After thousands of years of restoration by the True Lord Haoran, the broken dragon vein has been almost completely reassembled.

However, the details still need to be readjusted. This requires not only the True Lord to preside over it, but also a large number of Array Instrument and many low-level cultivators to assist. This is why True Lord Haoran sought out Chen Nianzhi.

After listening to True Lord Haoran's explanation, Chen Nianzhi nodded and said, "My Chen Clan has quite a few cultivators under its command, so we should be able to spare enough manpower to assist you."

The three discussed for a long time, and after the discussion was completed, Chen Nianzhi prepared to go back to make preparations, but was kept behind by True Lord Haoran.

He glanced at Chen Nianzhi, pondered for a long time, then took out a precious bottle and handed it to Chen Nianzhi, saying, "This item should be of some use to you, so take it."

"Thank you, senior."

Chen Nianzhi bowed and thanked him, thinking it was a reward from True Lord Haoran. However, after a brief probe with his Divine Sense, his expression changed drastically. The bottle actually contained ten drops of Pure Yang True Liquid.

Pure Yang True Liquid is a supreme treasure of the Tier 6, with a single drop worth four hundred Heavenly Crystal. Once more than ten drops are obtained, they can be of some use to Primordial Spirit cultivators.

The Pure Yang True Liquid before me contains ten drops, worth the equivalent of four thousand Heavenly Crystal —one-tenth the value of a Pure Yang Supreme Treasure.

If word got out, even Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm would go crazy for it, yet True Lord Haoran actually gave it to him directly.

Moreover, this item can help him repair the Azure Abyss Sword, which is exactly what Chen Nianzhi urgently needs, making its presentation all too coincidental.

There is only one possibility for all of this: True Lord Haoran had already foreseen that the Azure Abyss Sword was in his hands.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but look at True Lord Haoran, a look of shock flashing across her face.

"No need for further words or questions."

True Lord Haoran waved his hand, lowered his eyes, and said, "You may go."

"This junior takes his leave."

Chen Nianzhi bowed again before leaving the main hall with Jiang Linglong.

After the two left, the main hall returned to silence. True Lord Haoran watched their departing figures, a hint of worry on his face.

After a long silence, True Lord Haoran suddenly turned cold and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"My disciple, do you really distrust your master that much?"

Suddenly, a voice came from inside the hall.

A beam of ethereal Netherworld rose from the void, transforming into a phantom figure.

The newcomer was clad in a black robe, sitting cross-legged in the void. His body was surrounded by Netherworld Sha Qi that distorted the void, obscuring his supreme true face.

"Snort--"

True Lord Haoran snorted coldly, but said no more.

Upon seeing this, the newcomer fell silent for a long time before finally saying, "The three thousand great paths all lead to the same destination."

"Though we are separated by the divide between immortals and demons, we are merely each pursuing our own paths."

True Lord Haoran remained silent, only asking, "What exactly do you want?"

"What I seek is nothing more than the Great Dao of Demon God." The newcomer seemed unwilling to conceal anything, and said calmly, "This person cannot even deduce the Dao from the Heaven-Deriving Dao Book; he is most likely a person destined for tribulation, like Emperor Jiang."

"My next move now is merely a strategic move to prepare for a counter-strategy."

The man spoke calmly, then looked at True Lord Haoran, shook his head, and said, "You possess Haoran Righteous Qi, which will pave a smooth path for your cultivation, but you are also limited by this Hao Ran."

"Today you step forward to bear his karma, and you will surely face many calamities in the future, unable to escape your demise."

"Hmph, you need not worry about that."

True Lord Haoran remained expressionless, raising his hand to wipe away the Netherworld Sha Qi.

However, deep within his soul, wisps of calamity energy swirled around him, rolling in like dark clouds overhead.

"..."

Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong returned to Spirit Isle Lake. With solemn expressions, they went to the underground Water Vein. He took out the Pure Yang True Liquid and then informed Azure Abyss Sword of the situation.

After listening, the Azure Abyss Sword showed a slight fluctuation, and after a long while, it said, "Although I have suffered severe injuries over the years, I am still a Pure Yang Spirit Treasure treasure."

"Within the Purple Yin Realm, the only ones who could possibly deduce my traces are probably the three Pure Yang- level Heavenly Spirit Treasure: the ' Netherworld Ancient Tome,' the ' Heavenly Pattern Armor,' and the ' Heaven-Gazing Mirror.'"

"However, since the other party didn't attack you, they probably didn't mean you any harm. You should cultivate diligently and you will understand the Karmic Retribution in the future."

Hearing this, Chen Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief. After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "With the Pure Yang Elixir, Senior's injuries can be healed."

"That's certainly true."

The Azure Abyss Sword was also somewhat delighted. Once it refined these ten drops of Pure Yang spiritual liquid, it would be able to completely repair its injuries and restore its full power.

With the destructive power of a Pure Yang Immortal Sword, one could probably roam freely throughout the world.

After bidding farewell to the Azure Abyss Sword, Chen Nianzhi Chen Nianzhi immediately got up and left the Water Vein. He found the Old Clan Leader on Immortal Apricot Island and explained the situation regarding the restoration of the Heaven's Spine Mountains.

Chen Changxuan nodded after listening, then smiled and said, "This is easy to handle."

"Repairing the Heaven's Spine Mountains is not a battle against demons, so there will be almost no casualties. We only need to pay a small salary to the cultivators we recruit, and plenty of cultivators will be willing to participate."
