Chapter 423: Chapter 36 Fuchai Spear_1

Yao Bofu sighed at these words, saying, "Gouyun, you know full well that I won’t let you kill anyone, yet you still insist on doing so. It seems this battle is inevitable."

Gouyun chuckled, and the pitch-black spear in his hand paused in midair!

Yao Bofu’s expression changed as he stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to grasp at the void!

The spectators hadn’t yet understood what the two were doing when they heard a colossal boom as the sky suddenly exploded!

When the shockwave spread, the crowd could see that an invisible hand had tightly constrained the shockwave within a narrow area, preventing it from reaching anyone.

Just as Yao Bofu was about to say something, Gouyun chuckled at him and said, "You see, you didn’t stop it, did you?"

Yao Bofu was taken aback as he heard a dozen ordinary people below him suddenly scream in agony, blood flowing from their seven orifices as they fell to the ground!

Without going down, a sweep of his Divine Sense was all it took for Yao Bofu to know there was no saving these people!

Their souls shattered, leaving only a trace of True Spirit...

And the True Spirit of common individuals, without the protection of a soul, would dissipate in the world with a mere gust of wind. Even Yama’s Soul Reavers were helpless in the face of such a death...

Yao Bofu was truly enraged, glaring as he shouted, "Gouyun! If you really want to fight, I’ll oblige!"

Gouyun was not at all scared, smiling innocently as he said, "Alright, let’s fight then. All these people are just playthings to kill; how interesting."

Yao Bofu angrily replied, "Why should the innocent suffer for our conflict?"

But Gouyun dismissively said, "What innocence? Do these lowly ants deserve to watch me? Seeing as they wanted to watch our struggle, paying for a ticket isn’t too much, right? Watching a spectacle comes with a price. Yao Bofu, tell me, if I start

killing them, how many can you save?"

Yao Bofu’s face turned incredibly grim. He knew full well that it’s one thing to have a fair duel, but if Gouyun was set on killing those powerless common folk, he wouldn’t be able to save many at all!

Seeing Yao Bofu’s uncertain expression, Gouyun sneered, "Yao Bofu, if you want to fight, I’m ready. But if you don’t, and still don’t want to let me have my fun, that’s not without a solution."

Yao Bofu asked, "What would you have me do?"

Gouyun smiled and said, "It’s said that Emperor Shun is buried on Jiuyi Mountain, yet over these many years I’ve only seen statues worshipped, never the true grave. I admire Emperor Shun and would like to pay my respects to the real tomb, how about it? Paying respects to Emperor Shun shouldn’t involve too much bloodshed, so I’ll refrain from killing for now, alright?"

Yao Bofu’s brows nearly twisted into a character for river!

Qin Shou also furrowed his brow, remembering the old swindler mentioning that not only their group possessed Blood Bamboo.

Gouyun had it too, so did Ao Sui!

But if Gouyun had Blood Bamboo and still sought Yao Bofu to worship the real grave, there must be more to it.

Yao Bofu sighed and said, "Gouyun, this is Jiuyi Mountain, above the Xiang River. You threaten me with the lives of the Lingling Ancient City’s people; are you not afraid you’ll never be able to leave again?"

At this, the always constrained Yao Bofu slowly raised his head, shedding the previously pitying demeanor, he stood tall and proud, his eyes blazing with endless fighting spirit as he boldly declared, "If you seek a fair fight, I, Yao Bofu, will take you to the skies! But if you threaten me with the lives of the masses, then don’t blame me for opening the ancestor box to exterminate demons and dispel evil!"

At the same time, from the very center of Lingling Ancient City, a sound rang out like a block of wood being lifted and slammed to the ground. The sound wasn’t loud, but it struck a chord in everyone’s hearts.

At this moment, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Ancestor box? Could it be the very box that Emperor Shun left for Dayu? It’s said to contain shocking secrets and treasures of merit, unstoppable by anyone beneath a Saint!"

"Grandpa, what sort of peerless spiritual treasure is that? Is it a nature spirit treasure?" the little boy asked.

The old man nodded and then shook his head, saying, "Treasures in this world, from lowest to highest, are merely Magic Artifacts, magic treasures, and Spiritual Treasures. Magic Artifacts are divided into nine ranks and are less than immortal. Magic treasures are those that grant immortality and are differentiated by whether they are nurtured or natural. Nurture treasures are crafted by gods and immortals using the essence of Heaven and Earth, possessing myriad functions, but due to the limitations of the materials used in their creation, their potential is ultimately limited.

Natural magic treasures are actually made from the scraps of nature spirit treasures. Although they bear the word ’natural,’ their power is far from that of true nature spirit treasures—they are merely stronger than nurture treasures.

Nurture Spiritual Treasures are not commonly crafted by ordinary cultivators. To create one, at the very least, a Great Golden Immortal is required, alongside favorable conditions, and the help of at least one heavenly level ingredient. Only then is it possible to craft one. Once created, its power far exceeds that of magic treasures and is second only to nature spirit treasures.

This is the most powerful kind of Spiritual Treasure that mortals can create...

The ultimate nature spirit treasures, without exception, originated from the beginning when Heaven and Earth first unfolded, and some even from the chaos before Heaven and Earth had formed. Each one possesses the power to create worlds and, if wielded barehanded, is unstoppable by anyone beneath a Saint.

Besides Magic Artifacts, magic treasures, and Spiritual Treasures, there are also secret treasures and treasures of merit.

Secret treasures are unfathomable, because their origins are unclear, so everyone simply classifies them among the nature spirit treasures.

Treasures of merit, on the other hand, ascend alongside the ascension of those who have amassed great merit.

Emperor Shun’s virtue nurtured the world, his merit unmatched, and when his morality made him an emperor, some of the things on him also ascended and transformed into Spiritual Treasures. The ancestor box is one of them, having always remained in the Yu family’s ancestral temple to receive incense offerings and to bolster the rise of the clan."

The little boy, half-understanding, nodded to show that he understood, then asked, "So Grandpa, who do you think they... never mind, Grandpa, just tell me if Gouyun will win. Anyway, whoever you root for is doomed."

The old man suddenly pinched the little boy’s face with an expression full of grievance and asked, "Are you really my grandson? Or could you be some demon in disguise?"

Little boy: "..."

Above in the sky, as the ancestor box vibrated, Gouyun remained unmoved.

Gouyun proudly brandished his spear and declared, "Fuchai Spear, once stained with imperial blood, a nature spirit treasure!"

As these words were spoken, the entire field was in an uproar!

The old swindler, not knowing when, had moved to Qin Shou and Sun Wukong’s side and exclaimed, "Fuchai Spear? Damn, he actually got his hands on that thing? What the hell is the Wu family up to?"

Qin Shou asked in confusion, "Is it that powerful?"

The old swindler replied with a bitter smile, "How to put this? Well, the Wu family used to be emperors among men, the kind that were truly formidable! They were slightly less powerful than the Tang Dynasty, but you must realize, in the era when Fuchai lived, emperors were as common as carp crossing a river—it was an incredibly bloody and chaotic time. Fuchai used this spear to kill countless people, it’s even said to have been stained with the blood of emperors. And when I say emperors, I’m not talking about ordinary mortal emperors, but the blood of Overlords from the Heavenly Court!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou was taken aback. He had no idea how strong the Emperor Siyu was, but he knew that Tathagata Buddha pressed Sun Wukong with his palm for five hundred years!

Qin Shou also knew that in ’Journey to the West,’ Tathagata had said he was less than the Jade Emperor!

Considering this, the thought of a spear that could be stained with the blood of the Jade Emperor made his scalp tingle.

The old swindler continued, "Before, the Fuchai Spear was just a weapon, not a magic treasure, yet later it actually turned into one through killing—tell me, isn’t that strong?"
