Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 205 Refining the Vertical and Horizontal Blade!

Heavenly Fire Domain.

The extreme heat caused ripples in the air, making space appear distorted from a distance.

Reality.

The heavenly fire that fell from the sky, breaking through the main world and the secret realm, did indeed distort space to some extent.

However, such methods are difficult for even Dao Foundation cultivators to master, let alone those who are innate Qi cultivators.

Only legendary Golden Elixir Masters possess secret techniques involving space.

Zhu Ju sat cross-legged at a distance that was neither too close nor too far from the heavenly fire. His long hair curled slightly due to the high temperature, and his eyes were scorched red by the flames. His cheeks were cracked and bleeding at some point, but his expression was more solemn than ever before.

"boom!"

The chaotic energy of heaven and earth caused the environment of the Heavenly Fire Domain to change without any order, with thunderbolts falling even in broad daylight.

The lightning bolts snaked and twisted, heading straight for the heavenly fire.

opportunity!

Zhu Ju's eyes lit up. At this moment, he could barely maintain the Four Phases Star Restriction to conceal his cultivation, and his internal magic power surged wildly.

"lead!"

"Heavenly tribulation as a blade, earthly calamities as a shield, using their own methods against them—Condense!"

The lightning seemed to pause for a moment before rushing into the heavenly fire and striking down fiercely at something inside.

"boom!"

A great flash of lightning.

Fire bursts forth from the sky.

The surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) was in complete chaos.

Zhu Juchang stood up, letting out a low whistle, his true energy surging out continuously, and his hand seals changing rapidly.

"Gold guards the west, wood protects the east, water covers the northern abyss, fire burns the south, and earth solidifies the central palace—Seal!"

"The profound light of heaven and earth..."

"Gather!"

"Rumble..."

The heavenly fire trembled violently, and the raging primordial energy of heaven and earth formed a giant funnel that converged towards the center.

"Zheng!"

A clanging sound rang out.

Even the deafening thunder and raging fire could not suppress that faint ringing sound.

"Om..."

A wisp of light shot out from the heavenly fire, traversed the void, and landed in front of Zhu Ju.

This is a magic weapon the size of a palm, shaped like a flying sword but with a slight curve like a throwing knife.

Calling it a 'throwing knife' would be more appropriate.

Unlike flying swords that are sharpened on both sides, this magical artifact is sharpened on only one side and has a grip.

"Shh!"

With a slight tremor, it suddenly transformed into a four-foot-long horizontal sword.

Zhu Ju reached out and gripped the hilt of the knife. A feeling of being connected to the flesh and blood welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but swing his arm lightly.

"Shh!"

A blade of energy, over ten meters long, slashed through the void.

"Ok?"

Zhu Ju raised an eyebrow, his face beaming with delight.

To know.

He has only revealed his cultivation level of breaking through the second aperture innate stage, yet he already possesses such power with this sword.

If we go all out...

"As expected of a top-grade magic weapon, its power is truly extraordinary."

Gently stroking the blade, Zhu Juyin sighed, then tossed it with one hand, reducing the sword to the size of a palm once more.

"Shh!"

The blade flashed, shooting straight a hundred meters away, then tracing a graceful arc in the air before returning to its side.

The fierce winds and heavenly fire could not stop it in the slightest.

He tried to execute several sword techniques, and none of them went wrong.

"The ultimate magic weapon!"

Zhu Ju spoke:
"From now on, you can still be called the Horizontal Blade!"

Vertical and horizontal sword!

The blade trembled slightly, emitting a clear, cold hum, as if it were cheering for the name it had chosen for itself.

"Without the various rare and precious materials provided by the Dao Foundation cultivators of the Hehuan Sect, and without the help of the weapon refiner Ding Gui, it would probably be impossible for me to refine a top-grade magic weapon on my own in another ten years."

To know.

In the world of magic, the 'Exorcism Hall' spent a full thousand years refining a top-grade magical artifact.

Zhu Ju accomplished all his goals in just a few years.

"it is good!"

"Good baby!"

With a soft praise, he swallowed the Horizontal and Vertical Blade into his stomach, where it curled up in his dantian and slowly nurtured.

"Sword Control Technique!"

With his hands forming a sword incantation, the Horizontal and Vertical Blade within his body trembled slightly, and a wisp of blade light instantly enveloped Zhu Ju completely.

Immediately afterwards, his body swayed and flew off the ground, carried away by the magic power into the distance.

Top-grade magical artifact

It has the ability to fly.

of course.

With the cultivation level of breaking through the second aperture, even a magic weapon refined with one's heart and blood would be difficult to activate for a long time.

"Congratulations!"

Seeing Zhou Yuantong slowly walking out of the ice cave, Zhu Ju smiled and the two hugged each other tightly.

"Master."

Zhou Yuantong closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the outside world, seemingly trying to forget all the torment of the past three years:
"I want to go home."

"Alright." Zhu Ju made a sword incantation with his hands, and the sword light enveloped the two of them, propelling them into the sky.

"Let's go home!"

"You've finished forging your Vertical and Horizontal Blade?"

"Just finished making it, I wanted to give you a surprise."

"..."

Cave.

Zhou Yuantong closed her eyes and lay sprawled on the soft bedding, enjoying the comfort she hadn't felt in three years.

"Master."

"Ah."

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"Why do you ask that?"

Zhu Ju, who had brought the rabbit and fed it the spiritual water, turned around to look.

"Not long ago, Qi Yao secretly came to see me." Zhou Yuantong opened her eyes, her beautiful gaze fixed on Zhu Ju:
"She told me to be careful of you, but she didn't say what you did."

"One should always be wary of others," Zhu Ju said with a smile.
"That's right."

"I think it must be because you did something to betray me during the three years I wasn't by your side." Zhou Yuantong said with a serious expression.
"So Qi Yao couldn't stand it, so she secretly told me."

"..." Zhu Ju was speechless.
"You think too much."

"It doesn't really matter," Zhou Yuantong said, looking at him and pursing her lips.
"You've had women before me, and men are energetic, plus this is a place of pleasure."

"It's normal if you've been tempted by those vixens and done something wrong. If you tell me, I can forgive you."

"You're really overthinking it," Zhu Ju sighed.
"not at all."

"Really?" Zhou Yuantong was a little skeptical. She climbed up to him, grabbed his arm, and shook it.
"Just admit it, it's okay. I will definitely forgive you. I'm not lying to make you admit it."

"No, really no," Zhu Ju said.

"Don't think too much."

"Boring." Zhou Yuantong rolled over and lay down, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Then why did Qi Yao say that?"

"You should trust your husband," Zhu Ju said.

"Could it be that you trust her more than you trust me?"

"That won't happen." Zhou Yuantong shook her head, a hint of doubt on her face:
"However, sometimes I do feel that you are hiding a lot of things from me, which makes me feel uneasy."

"Ms. sir..."

Are you hiding something from me?

Zhu Ju did not speak.

"As expected." Zhou Yuantong sighed.

"Men are never trustworthy, but everyone has secrets. I believe you must have your reasons for keeping this from me."

"At least, my husband, you didn't lie to me."

"That's true." Zhu Ju smiled.

"After being locked in an ice cave for three years, your mind has become much clearer."

"Don't mention that place." Zhou Yuantong's body tensed, and her face involuntarily turned pale.

"I never want to go there again in my life."

"No." Zhu Ju stepped forward, put his arm around her, and whispered words of comfort:
"It's over."

"It's passed."

night.

Two figures sat facing each other. Zhou Yuantong exhaled a light breath, opened her beautiful eyes, and her eyes shone brightly. Her aura increased at a visible speed.

"Break through the eight orifices!" she said with a smile.

"My lord, after three years of accumulation, it's time for things to come to fruition. I feel that breaking through to the eighth aperture is not the limit yet, and my cultivation will improve significantly in the future."

"Yes." A smile appeared on Zhu Ju's face.
"I've also broken through my third acupoint. I haven't done any cultivation for so long, I didn't expect the effect to be so good this time."

Break through the three orifices?
Do not!
At this moment, he had already broken through all nine orifices.

He has already reached the peak of the Innate Qi Refining Realm and the state of perfect nine orifices.

"Crash..."

The stream flows.

Zhou Yuantong rolled up her trousers and stepped barefoot into the water, feeling the water wash over her, a faint smile on her face.

Life doesn't need to be extraordinary to be fulfilling.

"very nice."

"Qi Yao, you should try it too. The spirit fish here are not afraid of people. I've only just found out this after living in Fengyue Valley for so many years."

"No, thank you." Qi Yao gave a dry laugh, glancing cautiously at Zhu Ju beside her.

"that……"

"Yuan Tong told you?"

"I told you." Zhu Ju nodded.
“We have no secrets between husband and wife, so next time you want to tattle, you'd better think carefully before you speak.”

Qi Yao's face was deathly pale.

"For Yuan Tong's sake, let's let it go this time." Zhu Ju waved his hand, looking magnanimous.
"I don't want a second time like this. I don't want anyone to sow discord between my husband and me."

Qi Yao pouted.

"call……"

She took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice:

"Master has sent a message that there is a mission for the two of you. You need to leave the valley to carry it out."

"A mission, for two people?" Zhu Ju frowned, a hint of hesitation, or perhaps reluctance, showing on his face.

"So fast?"

"Master can't wait any longer," Qi Yao said.

"This mission is extraordinary. The target is a Xiantian who has broken through the Eight Apertures. You must be careful."

"The innate ability to break through the eight orifices?"

Zhu Ju did not take this seriously.

Zhou Yuantong is also a Primordial Eight-Aperture Breaker, and as a core disciple, her strength far surpasses that of ordinary Primordial beings.

Just like that 'Thunderbolt,' even a fully-fledged innate Qi cultivator with all nine orifices at their peak would find it difficult to withstand.

I asked casually at that moment:

"who is it?"

"You know him," Qi Yao said.

"Ding Gui!"

"Upon investigation, it has been found that Ding Gui has long been secretly colluding with the righteous immortal sect Xuanqing Sect. Even the death of Shu Ying a few years ago was inextricably linked to her. This time, Ding Gui took advantage of the opportunity to leave the valley to carry out a mission to escape the sect. You are ordered to capture her and bring her back for punishment. If she resists fiercely, you may kill her on the spot."

Ding Gui?

Zhu Ju looked up, his eyes filled with complex emotions:
"This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually turned out to be a traitor. No wonder he hasn't been very attentive to helping me forge weapons these past two years."

"Yuan Tong," Qi Yao said.

"Your master asked you to go to her to get some protective items. You can leave the valley soon."

"Should we both go?" Zhou Yuantong's beautiful eyes sparkled.

"Now?"

"That's right." Qi Yao's expression was complicated; she wanted to say something but dared not, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"You...be careful."

"I'll be careful," Zhou Yuantong gestured to Zhu Ju.
"My lord, wait for me in the cave."

palace.

The male slaves who used to fawn over the master of this place were nowhere to be seen; only Consort Yuan sat alone in the main hall.

"Master!"

Zhou Yuantong walked to the main hall and knelt on one knee.

"Ah."

Consort Yuan nodded:

"Take these things with you."

With a gentle wave of his long sleeves, some magical objects fell to the ground.

"Yes." Zhou Yuantong waved her sleeve and put it away.

"Thank you, Master."

"Don't rush off." Consort Yuan rested her chin on her hand, picked up a bright pearl from the side, and played with it in her hand.
"I'll show you something fun."

"This is a conversation I had with Zhu Ju a few years ago, when you first went out of the valley to carry out a mission."

She tossed it lightly with one hand, and the pearl floated in mid-air, with some scenes appearing on the scene.

Zhu Ju appeared before them, looking directly at Consort Yuan, but in reality, he was facing Zhou Yuantong.

Those familiar faces now seem so unfamiliar.
