FVN 61. Cut him again.
61. Cut him again.
This must be the killing weapon created by Ye Chongsheng, right? In Tengxie's perception, this rough man was unlike other evil beings. He did not have that kind of strange liquid metal body, but had abundant blood and vitality. However, he was also unlike a human, as his body was filled with cold, dark energy.
In Tengxie's memory, after Ye Chongsheng completed his evolution, he started a new experiment and created a humanoid weapon. It has a powerful regenerative ability second only to the immortal body, and it is made of flesh and blood. Compared with Yixie, it has more potential.
There are two of these humanoid weapons; one of them is this rough-looking man.
The other one... Xiao Baobao has already been thrown away by Ye Chongsheng, right?
As Teng Xie's mind raced, he calmly remarked, "Truly an eye-opener."
Ye Chongsheng calmly replied, "Over the years, I have collected quite a few treasures. I will now take the War General to see them."
Teng Xie waved his hand, "There's no need for that. This liquid metal looks quite powerful. Just give me some to study, and some of the metal used to make the Demon-Slaying Silver Spear. I think that will be enough."
Is that all? Should I give you the power of Fengye? Or should I just surrender to the Demon Realm?!
Ye Chongsheng couldn't help but say, "The War Commander seems quite interested in the alien forces?"
"No, I'm just curious. And you must admit, Evil Chief, what I want, setting aside any connection to the heretical forces, are all top-quality forging materials."
"Hmm... Is the War General's decision irreversible?"
"The goal should always be a win-win situation, at least without damaging relationships. Even if a deal falls through, goodwill should remain."
In other words, it's a matter of changing if you want, otherwise get out.
"Very well, I agree."
"The Evil Leader is truly a generous person. I fully feel his sincerity, and the friendship between the Evil Ones and the Demon Realm has become even stronger as a result."
You've shown me your true colors... "And where is the Key to Creation?"
Teng Xie took out the Key of Creation and handed it to Tun Fo Tong Zi, saying, "Tun Fo, you and Dao Wen stay here and see if there's anything you can do to help Xie Shou. Listen more, observe more, and speak less. Be sure not to disturb Xie Shou's research."
"Understood."
Tunfo nodded in agreement, accepting the Key of Creation. In his mind, he heard Tengxie's telepathic message: "I need the spatial coordinates of the darkness."
Tunfo gave Tengxie a knowing look without making a sound.
Tengxie then swaggered back to the Demon Realm with a small bucket of activated mercury and a fist-sized piece of bright silver metal.
The Demon Realm, the weapon-refining department of the Second Hall.
Tengxie found his supervisor and asked, "Where is what I asked for?"
"Reporting to the War Commander, we have found several materials that meet the requirements for your selection. Please take a look..."
The supervisor took a tray with various crystals on it. "These are the Fiery Sun Crystals, a specialty of the Death Desert. They are said to be unique sandstone from the Death Desert, melted by the sun's fire, and capable of absorbing and storing a considerable amount of light energy."
This is the Purple Sun Warm Jade provided by Xiao Penglai, and this is…”
As Teng Xie listened to the introduction, he picked up a crystal that looked like obsidian. The manager then said, "This is a thousand-year-old peach tree that was struck by lightning and then sunk underground for hundreds of years. Its heartwood has transformed into this material that is neither wood nor crystal, and is like jade. It is an excellent material for magical artifacts."
"That's it, there's more."
Tengxie handed the supervisor a small vial of mercury and a small piece of metal, saying, "Try to fuse them together. They have a considerable effect on suppressing demonic energy. The experimenters must handle them carefully."
"Yes."
Tengxie returned to the First Hall, his personal laboratory, or rather, his alchemy room, weapon-refining room, and magic experiment room—essentially a comprehensive workshop.
He placed the peculiar peach heart on a special magical artifact, then raised his sixth sense to its highest level. He pressed his hand on the artifact, and saw extremely fine lines gradually light up on it, eventually being engraved onto the peach heart.
After a long while, Teng Xie stopped what he was doing and then held the peach wood heart in his hand.
He then infused his demonic energy into the peach wood heart, and soon the peach wood heart transformed into a wisp of energy, which was then completely absorbed by his palm.
Then, he activated his demonic energy, and a stream of black energy surged from his palm and condensed into a peach wood heart.
"Compared to the effects of divine artifacts—stimulating the mind, healing the body, and amplifying energy—the functions of the artifact itself—transforming into energy, integrating into flesh and blood, and being separable—are easier to analyze."
This may seem useless; integrating an object into one's flesh and blood is not much different from storing it in a storage space.
"...The key is that the artifact is transformed into energy. For example, if the Desolate God Pearl can be modified so that it can be integrated into flesh and blood, the effect of the Black Mist Demon Dragon's blessing on itself will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced."
Or perhaps you could replicate a divine artifact, craft a set of equipment, and even add several pieces with other functions... wait, isn't that just Saint Cloth? Oops, I'm accidentally paying homage again.
Having succeeded on his first attempt, Teng Xie was clearly in a good mood. He then used this good mood to study a plan to replicate the Key of Creation.
Teng Xie was really in the zone, and his research went very smoothly this time, solving many problems.
He got a little lost in his own world, and it wasn't until several days later that Ren Chenfu came to him to report on his work.
"Commander, your mind is still insane and you're already under the control of the Demon Realm."
"Hmm, everyone did a good job, that's commendable. So, what did he reveal?"
"Nao Huan Dian did indeed see Hao Kunlun. Hao Kunlun's injuries were too severe, and even Crystal Lake could not heal him. That's why he came to Nao Huan Dian and told him to find Tan Wuyu, saying that the Demon Realm was a major threat in the future, and to ask Tan Wuyu to find a person called Qi Qiao Shen Tuo to destroy Hao Tian Ding.
And that's why the brain still came to investigate Xiao Penglai, and also...
As he spoke, Ren Chenfu took out a book. "This book, Taiji Xuan, was passed down by Hao Kunlun to someone named Zigong Taiyi. This person was Hao Kunlun's last disciple and is said to have mastered the true essence of Taiji."
Teng Xie took the Tai Chi Mystic Manual and asked, "How is Hao Kunlun now?"
"His mind is still mad, saying that Kunlun has already sealed the Crystal Lake and ascended to heaven there."
This "ascending to immortality" doesn't mean ascending to heaven, but rather going to a celestial mountain to sell dried tofu, which is basically a sign of things getting cold.
"Commander, should we investigate this Purple Palace Taiyi, as well as the Haotian Cauldron and the Seven-Skill Divine Camel?"
Focus your investigation on the Seven-Skill Divine Camel and the Haotian Cauldron.
"Yes."
After Ren Chenfu stepped down, Tengxie opened the Taiji Xuan and saw the Taiji principles explained on it. The language was neither ornate nor obscure, but rather straightforward and easy to understand.
However, Kunlun's knowledge was far from ordinary. He could explain profound principles in a simple way, which was the deepest understanding of them. Others could only see as much as they were talented when they looked at the mysteries of Tai Chi.
"...Truly, it discusses the ultimate principles of Yin and Yang, the creation of Heaven and Earth, and the mysteries of Heaven and Earth; only the phrase 'ineffably wonderful' can describe it...Although Leng Ruoshuang is no longer present, a deeper understanding of these principles allows for the use of substitutes to achieve the same or even greater effects."
Teng Xie had no intention of going into seclusion to cultivate. After briefly perusing the Taiji Xuan, he put it away and went to the second hall.
