"Don't forget, it also has the divine sense of a level-2 god sealed as its sword spirit."
Chen Sixuan's simple words were like morning bells and evening drums. Ji Dong immediately came to a realization. That's right, this Fire God's Sword was no longer the original Fire God's Sword. Back when Flaming Bar evaluated it, it was before it had sealed Shupnus. Given Shupnus's level of cultivation, even Flaming Bar could only fight him to a draw in the eighteenth layer of the core, which was the most suitable for him to fight. Shupnus himself had said that he was the strongest level-2 god, so how could the Fire God's Sword be the same after sealing the divine sense of such a powerful god?
"Ji Dong, let me take a look." Tianji came to Ji Dong's side. He didn't have a divine weapon, so he was much more at ease facing the Fire God's Sword than the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples. He slowly closed his eyes, and the third eye on his forehead opened.
The eye that was as deep as the starry sky quietly opened and looked at Ji Dong's Fire God's Sword. Ji Dong also slightly restrained the light on the Fire God's Sword to avoid hurting Tianji.
The Eye of Tianji emitted a layer of gentle light. This light was colorless and very similar to sunlight. It swept across the Fire God's Sword.
Tianji grunted and took a step back. The Eye of Tianji instantly closed. Ji Dong hurriedly put away the Fire God's Sword and stepped forward to support him.
"Tianji, are you alright?" Ji Dong asked with concern.
Tianji shook his head and slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with joy. "I'm fine. It's just that the red light was a little dazzling. I can't look at it for too long. Ji Dong, I saw it clearly. Sixuan was right. Your Fire God's Sword is probably different from before."
"What did you see?" Ji Dong asked nervously. Even he didn't understand what kind of changes had happened to the Fire God's Sword.
Tianji said solemnly, "Evolving."
"Evolving?" Ji Dong looked at Tianji in surprise.
Tianji nodded. "That's right, evolving. I saw a band of light with the Eye of Tianji. One part of it was red, while the other was blank. The red part was about sixty percent complete, as if it had just passed a boundary. If I'm not wrong, this should be why you feel the Fire God's Sword is different from before. In other words, it's very likely that after devouring Shupnus' divine sense and absorbing your Primal Chaos Flames, it has evolved. It's about sixty percent complete now."
Ji Dong stared dumbfoundedly at Tianji and murmured, "What should we do now? It has evolved to sixty percent. If that's the case, unless it completes its evolution, it'll be impossible for me to break through to the ninth crown. "
Tianji smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid that's the case. The Fire God's Sword is too powerful. With your current level of cultivation, you can't reverse or stop its evolution. As long as it's in your body, it will definitely absorb your energy to evolve. It's already so powerful now. Once it completes its evolution, its power will definitely be astonishing."
Ji Dong said helplessly, "No matter how astonishing its power is, my level of cultivation isn't high enough. I can't unleash its full power. That's the biggest problem."
Tianji said, "Then there's only one way. Abandon it and increase your strength. The Fire God's Sword is a divine artifact after all, it's an external object. If we go back to the Radiant Cinque Continent, you can temporarily seal it and cultivate mana. That should be possible."
Ji Dong immediately shook his head. "I can't. The Fire God's Sword has Shupnus's divine sense sealed within it. Although Shupnus doesn't seem to be able to contend against it, that's only because my Soul Force is supporting the Fire God's Sword. If I seal it and Shupnus breaks through the Fire God's Sword, then we'll be in big trouble. I'm afraid I'll be killed by it. After all, I attacked it before. If it kills me, it won't be a violation of the rules of the Divine Realm. Moreover, it's impossible for me to separate from the Fire God's Sword. It has been with me for so long and has long since fused with my bloodline. With the addition of my Soul Force, it can be said that it has already become a part of my body. Although it is constantly absorbing my mana, I'm certain that without it, not only will my cultivation not increase at a faster rate, it will also have the opposite effect."
Tianji said, "Then there's nothing you can do. Even if you know that it will absorb the mana produced during your cultivation, you still have to hold onto it. Right now, I can only hope that its evolution can be completed as soon as possible."
Chen Sixuan said, "It's a good thing that the Vulcan's Sword can evolve. None of us know to what extent it can evolve, but when it completes its evolution, it will definitely be extremely powerful. It can definitely be used as a weapon against Dark Heaven's Secrets. Moreover, now that we know that it's affecting Ji Dong's cultivation, Ji Dong, you can also change your cultivation in the future. You don't need to cultivate solely for yourself like before. We can do our best to help it evolve, so that it can complete its evolution as soon as possible. We still have a year and a half. If the Vulcan's Sword can complete its evolution and your cultivation breaks through to the ninth crown, then when we face Dark Heaven's Secrets, we might not necessarily be powerless."
Ji Dong's eyes lit up. "Sixuan is right. Since we already know why my cultivation speed has slowed down, then I can make some changes when I cultivate. The Vulcan's Sword definitely needs the Chaotic Flames to evolve. There's no doubt about this. When I cultivate, the Chaotic Flames are naturally produced. I'm increasing my own mana. If I want to increase the Vulcan's Sword's evolution speed as soon as possible, then when I cultivate in the future, I'll do my best to convert my mana into Chaotic Force to support it. This way, its evolution speed will increase."
Ah Jin said, "There's an even more direct method."
Ji Dong glanced at her and said almost at the same time, "The Jade of Heaven."
It was the Jade of Heaven. Although the Jade of Heaven did not contain the Chaotic Flames, it was the purest form of Chaotic Force. Previously, when there were two Vulcan's Swords, the fusion method required the addition of the Jade of Heaven. Clearly, it could completely accept the Chaotic Force in the Jade of Heaven.
Du Ming said regretfully, "If I had known, I would have given all the Jade of Heaven I got from the foolishly rich merchant association to Teacher to upgrade the Vulcan's Sword."
Ji Dong smiled and shook his head. "You can't say that. It's also very important for you to comprehend the Profound Truths of Primal Chaos. I'm not the only Heavenly Stem Saint. The Sacred War between the two continents requires us to work together. It's best for everyone's strength to increase together. Moreover, we still don't know if the Jade of Heaven is effective. I still have two pieces left. Let's test it out now."
As he spoke, Ji Dong released the Vulcan's Sword again. Last time, he had helped his companions awaken the Profound Truths of Primal Chaos and had used up most of the Jade of Heaven. He only had two pieces left. Taking out one of the Jade of Heaven, Ji Dong thought for a moment before tossing it into the air. The Vulcan's Sword stuck to the Jade of Heaven with the spine of the sword.
Immediately, a strange scene occurred. When the Vulcan's Sword came into contact with the Jade of Heaven, the Jade of Heaven instantly vaporized and turned into a gentle milky-white stream of air. It circled around the Vulcan's Sword before slowly sticking to it. The white stream of air only existed for a few seconds before disappearing into Ji Dong's Vulcan's Sword.
Ji Dong did not feel anything. On the surface, the Vulcan's Sword did not seem to have changed. Without Ji Dong saying anything, Tian Ji had already opened his Eye of Divine Secrets and looked at the Vulcan's Sword.
"The evolution rate has increased by about five percent," Tian Ji said excitedly.
"Five percent? In other words, if I want to complete the rest of the evolution, I'll need a total of eighty pieces of Jade of Heaven without the assistance of cultivation. " Ji Dong's expression was a little unsightly. He had not expected the Jade of Heaven to require such a huge amount of Jade of Heaven to evolve the Vulcan's Sword. At first, he had thought that the previous evolution rate of sixty percent was too slow. After all, it had been three and a half years since he had sealed Shupnus. However, from the looks of it now, these three and a half years had not been wasted. That sixty percent was equivalent to 120 pieces of Jade of Heaven!
In reality, Ji Dong's cultivation in the past three and a half years could be said to be unprecedented. Apart from his own hard work, he had also absorbed the blood of the Earth Dragon Ancestor, the Primogenitor Dragon. Back then, the Earth Dragon Ancestor had wanted to directly raise his cultivation to above nine crowns. It was not as simple as a Saint Physique. Later on, he had cultivated in the core world for over a year. The environment there was undoubtedly the most suitable place for the Vulcan's Sword to evolve. With Ji Dong's own nourishment and the help of these fortuitous encounters, the Vulcan's Sword had increased by sixty percent. Of course, a small portion of this sixty percent was obtained after coming to the Darkness Continent and devouring the Darkness Crystal Crown.
Yao Qianshu said, "Since the Vulcan's Sword requires such a huge amount of Jade of Heaven to evolve, shouldn't we make a trip back to the Five Elements Continent and ask for more from the foolishly rich merchant association? That fatty Zhou Xiaoxiao must have some in stock."
Miao Miao looked at Yao Qianshu disdainfully and said, "Are you stupid or not? Who said that the Five Elements Continent cannot have Jade of Heaven? What's the point of going back? Didn't we come to the Five Elements Continent to stir up trouble and rob those fellows from the Divine Temple of Darkness? "As he spoke, Miao Miao flipped his wrist and threw two balls of white light in front of Ji Dong.
"Here you go. I got them from the forbidden room of Dark Tianji. Back then, I only got these two pieces in a short time. But this is enough to prove that the Five Elements Continent definitely has these things."
Ji Dong reached out and caught them. Weren't they two pieces of Jade of Heaven? He immediately used the Vulcan's Sword to absorb the rest of the Jade of Heaven.
Yao Qianshu sighed and said, "What a loss, what a loss." As he spoke, he shook his wrist and five pieces of Jade of Heaven flew towards Ji Dong.
Miao Miao widened his eyes and said, "F * ck, those Jade of Heaven were placed in different directions in the forbidden room of Dark Tianji. You actually took five pieces in such a short time? Are you even human? "
Yao Qianshu said proudly, "Haven't you heard of this brother's nickname? Medicine cures diseases, but money saves fated people. This is called reaching out from under the coffin and asking for money. If I had more time, I would have emptied that place. "
Ji Dong looked at Yao Qianshu and shook his head helplessly. He said, "You!" But he was not going to be polite with Yao Qianshu. The five pieces of Jade of Heaven were absorbed into the Vulcan's Sword again.
At that time, aside from Tianji, there were four other people on the top floor. Other than Yao Qianshu and Miao Miao, it was Lan Baoer and Du Ming. But at that time, both of them were aiming for the divine weapons of their respective attributes. Naturally, they did not have time to take the Jade of Heaven. But with these seven pieces and the two pieces that Ji Dong already had, the evolution of the Vulcan's Sword had reached 64.5%. It could be said that it had taken a big step forward.
"Miao Miao is right. Didn't we come here to cause destruction? Let's just rob the Dark Magician. Although the effect of the Crystal Crown's absorption is far inferior to the Jade of Heaven, it is still useful. In less than a year and a half, I believe that the Vulcan's Sword will definitely evolve. "The evolution of the Vulcan's Sword had increased by 4.5%. Ji Dong was in a good mood.
Tianji smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to what kind of power the evolved Vulcan's Sword will display."
Du Xin 'er giggled and said, "It would be best if it could directly cut that Dark Tianji in half."
Chen Sixuan Hyōhime asked, "What should we do next?"
Ji Dong said, "Although we've achieved great success in this trip to the Darkness Shrine and obtained two water element god artifacts, our whereabouts have definitely been exposed. The Heavenly Secrets of the Darkness knows that we've entered the Darkness Shrine Continent, so they'll definitely try to find us. As a result, we have to be even more careful. The first thing we have to do is obviously to go to the Heavenly Secrets Alliance where Mo 'er and the others are fighting against. With this, they'll trust us, and we can send Mo' er back as well."
The Secret Resistance Alliance had been able to survive for so long, so they naturally had their own abilities. Even without what Mo 'er had seen and heard, Ji Dong believed that they should have known what had happened in the Darkness Temple. If they still couldn't gain their trust, then there was something wrong with the Secret Resistance Alliance.
Hearing that Ji Dong wanted to send her back, Mo 'er was not happy at all. She was almost sixteen years old, and in all the years she had been with him, she hadn't been as excited as these few days with the saints. Pouting, Hyōhime said, "Uncle Demon, are you in such a hurry to chase me away?"
Ji Dong looked at her in shock and said, "Uncle Demon?"
