"Huh?" (Was it appropriate to discuss this just like that?)
Xuele asked in confusion.
If Nine-Breath Chaos really had an artifact spirit, wouldn't it have been watching them from the shadows all along?
And their conversation just now would have fallen within the Nine-Breath Chaos artifact spirit's perception, with no secrecy whatsoever.
Hearing this, Chen Beiwu and Zhiling exchanged a glance and smiled.
Why wouldn't it be appropriate? Xuele was still too innocent!
Even a Third-Tier Dharma Treasure could develop spirituality, or even an artifact spirit, let alone Nine-Breath Chaos, whose rank stood far above a Creation Treasure and which could open a passage to worlds beyond their domain.
To put it plainly, the probability that such a supreme treasure lacked an artifact spirit was practically zero. Otherwise, it could not have acknowledged a master of its own accord and imparted the Nine-Breath Qi Ingestion Divine Ability to Chen Beiwu. What puzzled Chen Beiwu now was whether the Nine-Breath Chaos artifact spirit had suffered grievous injuries and fallen into slumber, leaving it unable to respond, or simply considered his cultivation too low and could not be bothered to answer.
If it was the former, that meant he had a chance of fully refining and controlling this supreme treasure.
If it was the latter, that proved his conjecture wrong: even after gaining initial mastery of the divine ability, he had yet to truly earn Nine-Breath Chaos's recognition.
"Ying."
Zhiling raised its head and rubbed against Chen Beiwu's cheek in comfort, indicating that they should meet soldiers with generals and stem floods with earth; there was no use overthinking things now.
Golden Egg, beside them, looked bewildered.
What did that mean?
Could the Nine-Breath Chaos artifact spirit actually harbor ill intentions toward Chen Beiwu?
"All right, stop letting your imagination run wild!"
