Li Xuan couldn’t help but be delighted, "Can it also help one break through to the heavenly level?"
However, Yue Qianqian shook her head, "The quality of this Shenyuan Stone might not have reached that level. At most, it might help you, Xiaowei, strike it rich or improve your cultivation and consolidate your Golden Body.
If I’m not wrong, Shulv Ping’s body was probably sustained by this stone."
Li Xuan was still thrilled. Just the fact that this object could help him improve his cultivation and consolidate his Golden Body was a huge pleasant surprise.
Next, everyone started to clear the battlefield. To their surprise, they found more than twenty of their fellow compatriots from the Liudao Division, including Bai Leidu, the General Commander, inside the nurous coffins carried by Sikong Xin.
All of them were in a comatose state from severe injuries, and nurous Zhenyuan Nails had been hamred into each of them, along with talisman pasted on them.
Li Xuan didn’t have to guess to know that Sikong Xin intended to use them as ingredients to refine the Evil Corpse.
In terms of corpse refinent, the effect of refining live humans is much stronger than that of the dead.
This enraged everyone from Bai Leidu. However, Sikong Xin was already in no state to be bothered with. His Primordial Spirit was wavering and was on the verge of having his soul fly away and scatter. His body was even more beyond ntioning.
Monk Miaoxin and Fumo Xiaowei Yu Shuang both realized that a living Sikong Xin was much more valuable, so they did their best to placate their subordinates.
Just then, a figure arrived horizontally in the sky from the distance.
Li Xuan looked from afar and found that it was the deputy Venerable.
Upon arriving, he directly landed on the chariot and then looked around in confusion, "Where is Sikong Xin?"
He had just encountered the retreating undead army, but he did not find Sikong Xin, the God Lord of Ten Thousand Coffins.
The gaze of the deputy Venerable finally fell on the body of Sikong Xin, fused with the dirt and stones. He couldn’t help but be taken aback, "This is Sikong Xin?"
"Indeed, it is Sikong Xin. Just now, Xiaowei Li killed Shulv Ping’s decoy within the army formation in the battlefield. Sikong Xin was gravely injured by Xiaowei Li while trying to escape using the Earth Escape technique."
Fumo Xiaowei Yu Shuang said in a highly admiring tone, "We owe Xiaowei Li a lot this ti. Otherwise, we would all have faced instant death."
The deputy Venerable listened to his words as if they were a myth.
He stared at Li Xuan, sounding half-skeptical, half-convinced, "Really? Then, where are Shulv Ping’s severed hand and Liao Emperor’s Seal?"
Li Xuan imdiately raised his hand and waved it, bringing these two trophies to the deputy Venerable’s face.
Both items were extrely ominous, and Li Xuan was worrying about where to put them.
※※ ※※
A mont later, the deputy Venerable went airborne again and hurriedly left.
He had to return Shulv Ping’s severed hand and Liao Emperor’s Seal to the Liao Emperor’s Tomb within the shortest possible ti to suppress the anomalies within the tomb.
He had heard that the situation there was very volatile. Even the collaboration between Abas, the Mongolian Shaman, and Zhu Mingyue, two prominent heavenly level figures, was faring poorly.
Li Xuan had no regret or reluctance regarding these two items.
The severed hand of Empress Di Shulv Ping was useless to him, it would feel disgusting to keep it. The emperor’s seal was similar, its only use was to command over two hundred thousand undead cavalry in the tomb.
However, Li Xuan was not of the Liao lineage, so the emperor’s seal would have been useless to him even if he had kept it.
Not to ntion, the deputy Venerable handled the situation quite well. He offered a substantial reward — a full twenty rits — to exchange for these two items, and Li Xuan couldn’t refuse.
At this mont, Li Xuan felt like he was being watched from a distance. This feeling made his hair stand on end.
Yet when Li Xuan opened his Tao-protecting Eyes and looked around and let the Azure Phoenix Niulang fly high in the sky to search, he still couldn’t find the person behind the gaze.
Only half a mont later, did the feeling of being watched disappear completely.
Li Xuan was unaware that at this mont, right next to the tomb of the Great Liao Emperor, in a tomb shrouded in darkness, a woman clad in a purple-gold phoenix gown, adorned with jewels, and sitting on a throne, suddenly opened her eyes to gaze into the distance.
In her ashen-colored eyes, there was a hint of confusion, "Who exactly is he?"
※※ ※※
Shortly after the departure of the deputy Venerable, Li Xuan, Bai Leidu and the others also embarked on their journey ho under the cover of night.
The loss of Bai Leidu’s troops was significant, with over eighty soldiers dying on the battlefield, and another fifty being severely injured -- including the General Commander and several others who were still unconscious.
This left everyone from Bai Leidu weighed down by heavy hearts and overwhelming despair, eager to return and administer aid to the seriously injured.
Li Xuan, too, had no intention of lingering. His stay at the dangerous tomb of the Great Liao Emperor would only expose him to more risks.
After cultivating the Great Rectitude, although he had embraced death, he wouldn’t put himself in unnecessary danger.
Especially so, as the gaze that scrutinized him earlier still gave him chills, signaling extre danger.
Li Xuan knew this was far from an illusion. Even though he didn’t know who exactly had taken an interest in him, he was sure that withdrawing from the tomb of the Great Liao Emperor as soon as possible was indeed the best choice at the mont.
After exiting the dark fog surrounding the tomb, Li Xuan took the lead and left on the ’Xuanming Zhiyang Shuttle’.
This was due to the fact that the injured could not withstand the bumps and had to return to the Capital City as soon as possible for treatnt. The ’Xuanming Zhiyang Shuttle’, undeniably, was the best transportation tool to get them back to the capital.
Although the shuttle consud a significant amount of Mana, it was fast, had a large carrying capacity, and was steady. With Li Xuan and several spellcasters taking turns to pilot it, they didn’t have to worry about exhaustion.
However, the speed of the ’Xuanming Zhiyang Shuttle’ was still no match for Zhu Mingyue’s Red Thunder Chariot. It took them three days to return to the Capital City.
Upon returning to the headquarters of the Liudao Division on the shuttle, there were already dozens of spellcasters and doctors gathered to treat the injured.
The internal and external injuries of these wounded soldiers were relatively easy to treat, but the Yin venom in their bodies was the real challenge.
The venom was corroding their internal organs, damaging their bone marrow, and even contaminating their Shenpo. A slight misstep could lead to lifelong complications.
anwhile, Li Xuan went to the rit Calculation Tower alone.
"With your previous rits, that makes a total of one hundred and thirty major feats," the Chief of the rit Calculation Tower said with a bitter smile, holding Li Xuan’s waist tag, "Are you planning to get a second supre magical implent?"
Did that need to be asked? Li Xuan thought, he had no intention of breaking down his rits.
Luckily, he had gone into deep ditation for two full days under Zhu Mingyue’s consecration when he arrived at the headquarters, which left him no ti to exchange his rits for top-grade magical implents. Otherwise, he would have suffered a loss this ti.
The power of supre magical instrunts was usually more than three tis that of top-grade ones, and most could last for over two thousand years, while the top-grade ones would wear out after five to six hundred years. Given this, the value gap between the two was massive.
Moreover, Li Xuan’s cultivation had improved. He would soon be able to utilize the ’Shenyuan Stone’ to condense the Golden Body of Martial Law. His current Zhenyuan and Mana were enough to control any supre magical instrunt.
"Go ahead!" The Chief of the rit Calculation Tower registered the rits into Li Xuan’s waist tag, then flicked his sleeves, "If you want to exchange it for sothing ready-made, you can go to the Treasure Tower. If you want sothing customized, go look for the Master of the Artifact Refining Pavilion."
Li Xuan couldn’t help but regard him suspiciously, "Why are you so agreeable this ti?"
He wondered if these people were laying a trap for him.
The Chief of the rit Calculation Tower smiled at this, "Who in this headquarters doesn’t know about your feat of killing Shulv Ping amidst thousands of troops? With your current abilities, conventional top-grade magical implents won’t be of any use, right? It just happens that there are many top-grade materials recently obtained by our Division, and we also have a Grandmaster who can craft a supre magical implent."
The Chief of the rit Calculation Tower’s expression shifted, "By the way, the supre magical implent you ordered previously has been completed. It only awaits your blood drop for the final step. You can go check it out--"
But before he could finish his sentence, Li Xuan had already taken off towards the Artifact Refining Pavilion.
Li Xuan had been eagerly awaiting this supre magical implent for quite so ti. Although he had two immortal treasures at the mont, given his current cultivation, he could not unleash one-tenth of their full power.
Hence, as a whole, the impact of this supre magical implent on him would be just as significant as the Wuqu Pojun. Furthermore, given that this implent was custom-made for him, it was all the more anticipated.
