Chapter 1394: Chapter 1394: Beneath the Immortal Artifact
"What exactly does the Demonic Path want with Yan’er?"
Within the Thousand Tents Palace, having received the message from the Capital City, Su Chengyu muttered to himself with furrowed brows in his room.
When he first learned in the City of Eternal Winter that Yu Yanshu was the person the Demonic Path was looking for, he was only surprised.
But now, knowing that the Demonic Path had brought the Nether Clan to infiltrate the Capital City for Yu Yanshu, he was thoroughly shocked.
After all, according to the information they previously obtained in Bei Luo, the Bam Alliance was not inherently a community of shared destiny, but just a temporary organization established for mutual support with a common goal.
Although it has now become a considerable force, there is definitely no hundred percent trust between the Demonic Path and the Nether Clan,
otherwise, when they had clashed with an enforcer named Executor in Linbei City, another guy called Sinner had no reason to keep hiding in the city.
On such a premise, for the Demonic Path to allow an enforcer of the Nether Clan to infiltrate the Capital City, he dared not think about how much the Demonic Path had to retreat and what promises they had to make to the Nether Clan to receive such a level of assistance.
The Red Robed High Priest of the Ascend to Heaven Realm, even when looking at the entire Nether Clan, are few and far between, who would have thought that in the end, he would wind up dead in the Capital City.
Yes, Gold Wing is dead.
The combined attack of Long Xuan, Ye Qingci, and Qiu Tianlin might not have been enough to decide Gold Wing’s fate completely.
But the white rainbow that came from the Yaoguang Dojo was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
Gold Wing, having not anticipated additional aid, ultimately died under Ye Qingci’s sword.
Having failed to capture Gold Wing alive, Su Chengyu knew that it was likely deliberately done by Ye Qingci.
Even if the Nether Clan were captured by others, they would almost never reveal any information to the Human Clan, but just in case, letting this Nether Clan who knew too much die was still the safest thing to do.
Fortunately, capturing a Nether Clan was extremely difficult in itself, and even the Bei Luo Empire’s best achievement over many years was due to the betrayal of the Red Robed High Priest Chimu.
Therefore, Gold Wing’s life and death in combat did not arouse too much suspicion from the Demon Slayer Department.
And Yu Yanshu’s successful Tribulation into the Golden Core Realm also made Su Chengyu breathe a sigh of relief.
The considerable number of Magic Artifacts he had meticulously arranged for Su Zi to obtain from the Su Clan had finally played their intended role.
Although the gains from his trip to the Kunwu Realm were not insignificant, they still fell far short when compared to the profound heritage of these Ancient Clan aristocratic families.
Otherwise, the progress of repairing the Wasteland Battle Halberd and the Heaven-Mending Stone would not have been so slow.
Compared to the King-grade Divine Artifact Dragon Slayer Sword, these two items require far too many Magic Artifact materials for repair.
"Of course it’s not the same. Do you know what grade of existence I am? Do you think I can be so easily restored to my original state? And don’t compare me to that broken halberd of yours; it’s not worthy."
Su Chengyu remained silent.
The inconvenience of living in his own Sea of Consciousness was that if he wasn’t careful, whatever he was thinking would manifest there.
It’s not that it can’t be completely sealed off, but most of the time Su Chengyu doesn’t avoid it too much. After all, the Sea of Consciousness is an essential channel connecting the Magic Artifact and its owner, and only through this channel can he establish a telepathic link with the Artifact Spirit.
"So, Little Shi, what level have you reached now?"
"I can roughly handle someone in the mid-stage of Hollow Vacuum. Killing them would take some time, but helping you hold them off isn’t any big problem."
The Heaven-Mending Stone confirmed, actually rather pleased with its current state.
It knew Su Chengyu’s situation best; his efforts to restore it to this level meant he had done a lot.
Regardless of its outspoken character, deep down, it knew Su Chengyu was a sincere person.
"Oh right, I can sense there’s something similar to an Immortal Artifact within the Thousand Tents Palace. Think of a way to help me get it, will you?"
"...Little Shi, I feel like your appetite is really getting bigger and bigger."
He thought it was enough that the Wasteland Battle Halberd ended up in his hands, but now the Heaven-Mending Stone was daring to eye an Immortal Artifact in the Thousand Tents Palace that clearly had an owner.
"What’s the big deal? It’s not a real Immortal Artifact, just similar in quality. These things are quite common here; they’re perfect for use in repair."
Listening to the Heaven-Mending Stone’s words, Su Chengyu asked, "Similar in quality to Immortal Artifact? But not an Immortal Artifact, then what is it?"
"The main issue is the method of refinement; a true Immortal Artifact needs the support of the Power of the Great Dao, even just a hint of it must be used, otherwise it can’t be called an Immortal Artifact. Like that Wasteland Battle Halberd in your hands, it contains an aura of the Dao of Annihilation."
"Why can’t I feel it when I use it?"
"It’s correct that you don’t feel it. The Power of the Great Dao is a high-level power. Even that trace of Destiny Dao’s aura you control almost killed you several times. If a whiff of the Dao of Annihilation were to show itself when you use it, at your current level, you wouldn’t even have a chance at salvation. Saying you would die by the Dao would be putting it lightly!"
Su Chengyu came to an understanding and returned to the main topic, "Then what are those things that are equivalent in quality to an Immortal Artifact?"
"They are mostly Sacred Objects or Holy Artifacts from other worlds. Those who do not grasp the Power of the Great Dao and want to create something beyond a King-grade Divine Artifact can only turn to crooked ways, but in the end, because they lack the boost of the Power of the Great Dao, they turn out quite odd. But good or not, they are still valuable items, just a bit shoddy inside. Are you sure you don’t want to try? If you get that thing, I’m confident I can advance further and help you deal with Hollow Void Late Stage with no problem."
It would be a lie to say Su Chengyu wasn’t tempted, but he also knew that what the Heaven-Mending Stone spoke of was very likely some national treasure of the Bei Luo Empire, and if not housed in their national treasury, then definitely in the most secure place within the Thousand Tents Palace. With his current strength, attempting to lay hands on it was akin to courting death.
"Let’s forget about it. That’s not something I’m capable of dealing with now."
"No guts."
The Heaven-Mending Stone deliberately used reverse psychology, but Su Chengyu, already accustomed to the forthright nature of the Heaven-Mending Stone, couldn’t be bothered to engage with it and continued to inquire about the quality and quantity of Holy Artifacts.
However, the Heaven-Mending Stone didn’t seem to know much about these, only mentioning that they were somehow related to the channels that connect this world to other worlds, and it wasn’t quite clear about them either.
Just when Su Chengyu wanted to ask in detail, a commotion outside made him alert, and as Su Chengyu became aware of it, Mo Ningchen’s reminder also rang in his ear.
"People are coming from the Thousand Tents Palace, and it looks like they are heading your way."
