Chapter 69: Chapter 69 : The Three Realm Spear (1)

The Granny of Love and Devotion did not let herself be persuaded. Her decision was final.

In the end, the unhappy parents and couple had to accept the decision and go back home for now.

Liu Wenyuan was particularly dejected to hear that the Granny saw no auspicious date within this year, but he gracefully agreed to wait one more year. Zhang Fengxi was endlessly grateful for his beloved Wenyuan’s patience.

When Zhang Fengxi rode on his spiritual mount to head back to Longjing Palace, his mind wandered to the last conversation he had with the Granny.

He lied to the Granny and said that there was no one. There was indeed someone.

When speaking about another person whose fate was linked to his, there was only one person who fit the criteria. It was Xie Jianyu.

Now, what to do in order to sever this ill-fated connection between him and Xie Jianyu?

Nothing good could come out of dwelling on it. The best thing Zhang Fengxi could do for Xie Jianyu in this life was to leave him alone, maybe help him from time to time secretly to keep him safe from harm.

A relationship between them was unthinkable. Impossible.

It was sinful, even.

Xie Jianshen was going to gut Zhang Fengxi alive the moment Zhang Fengxi dared to approach his darling little brother.

Not that Zhang Fengxi was afraid of Xie Jianshen.

He just wanted Xie Jianyu to have a better life this time around.

Grow old with children and grandchildren by his side...

Zhang Fengxi’s visage darkened when that last thought crossed his mind. For some reason, it made him feel greatly uncomfortable. He did not want to think about Xie Jianyu with some unnamed alpha. What if this unnamed alpha treated him poorly? What if he suffered throughout his married life?

Xie Jianyu was better off alone.

...

Zhang Fengxi let out a loud groan.

No, that was also not right.

Xie Jianyu should have the chance to meet an alpha who cherished and loved him with all his heart. It was the dream of all omegas.

One year.

One year was not too long.

Everything was going to be resolved within one year...

By the time Zhang Fengxi returned to Longjing Palace, Commandant Jiang was already waiting for him to continue their lessons. This time around, though, Zhang Fengxi had something else in mind.

"Teacher, I need a new spear," he said, as if Commandant Jiang had numerous high-quality spears stocked in his private residence.

"Oh?"

"I am looking forward to being the new owner of the Three Realm Spear," Zhang Fengxi continued.

Commandant Jiang’s eyes widened when he heard the name of the most famous spear that every spear-wielding martial artist would die for.

"This... Prince, who told you about this spear?"

"I heard it from my peers," Zhang Fengxi lied. "I already decided to focus on spearsmanship, so naturally I wish to also get the best spear to fully support me."

"Yes, this subject can understand, it’s just that... this spear is a little special."

Zhang Fengxi nodded.

"Teacher, please tell me all about it."

Although the Three Realm Spear was a weapon that any martial artist and any weapon collector coveted -- regardless of whether or not they cultivated the path of the spear -- there was a good reason why it remained unclaimed for more than eight hundred years now.

According to the legend, there was once a time when all three realms were engulfed in evil and primordial chaos. To battle the chaos, the gods had to descend from the upper layers of heaven and eliminate the chaos-borne creatures one by one.

The God of War and Destruction, Li Guang, descended with his heavenly troops and worked to wipe off evil from the face of the first layer of the heavenly realm before continuing with the human realm.

His spear, the renowned weapon that Li Guang designed and commissioned himself, was the renowned Realm Splitting Spear. It was designed to become stronger by absorbing the blood of its victims.

With the Realm Splitting Spear in his hand, Li Guang was invincible.

His mission was supposed to be an impeccable success story, if not for a complication that arose from the heavenly realm.

The God of War and Destruction had a younger brother who was easily influenced. His name was Li Shan. Li Shan was also an extraordinary martial artist, but he was nowhere near Li Guang’s level. All he ever wanted was to stand on the same ground as his brother.

Knowing Li Shan’s secret ambition, a Demon King who had no honest way to defeat Li Guang approached Li Shan with a wicked idea.

If Li Shan killed Li Guang with the Realm Splitting Spear, the spear was going to absorb Li Guang’s strength. Li Shan was then going to be the strongest god in the heavenly realm, the next God of War and Destruction.

Consumed by greed, Li Shan secretly stole into Li Guang’s tent late at night. He took the spear in his hand and stabbed into the sleeping Li Guang.

Alas, the spear refused to kill its master. The spear intent ended up harming Li Shan instead, killing him on the spot.

Up until that time, the spear had only absorbed the blood of demons. After killing a god for the first time, the spear started to evolve. It could assume a second form, which was a sickle.

Despite having a stronger weapon, Li Guang was deeply hurt by his brother’s betrayal. To make things worse, his mother who had always favored Li Shan mourned the latter’s death deeply and blamed Li Guang for possessing such a dangerous weapon.

After Li Guang ended the war, he broke the spear into three pieces with his own hands and threw them into the ocean.

That was the end of the Realm Splitting Spear, the strongest spear in all three realms.

The story should have ended there, until the broken spear fragments attracted the attention of the sea creatures.
