Su Yu's spirit was shaken, as he clearly knew what an imperial saint artifact meant.
It was an item that any All Creation experts, including the nine prefecture's kings, would fight for!
Shangguan Yunque had just given Su Yu a cultivation art, so how could it have become an imperial saint artifact?
Su Yu had a feeling that this wasn't real, and he doubted whether Jian Wusheng's words were true.
"You don't need to doubt my words." Jian Wusheng's phantom image saw through Su Yu's mind. "The Five Elements Divine Prison is ranked 9,000 on the Ancient Gods' List of Ten Thousand Weapons. It's rumored that it was once owned by an ancient faction, but after that faction was split apart, the Five Elements Divine Prison disappeared along with it."
Su Yu was shocked. This wasn't the first time he had heard of the Ancient Gods' List of Ten Thousand Weapons.
When Tian Jizi had passed on the imperial saint artifact, the Milky Way Star Sand, to Su Yu, he had said that the Milky Way Star Sand was ranked 21st on the List of Ten Thousand Weapons.
Su Yu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the Ancient Gods' List of Ten Thousand Weapons again.
It seemed like the divine weapons ranked on the List of Ten Thousand Weapons were at least imperial saint artifacts. This was because even the Five Elements Divine Prison, which was ranked at the bottom, was an imperial saint artifact.
"Senior, what's the use of the Five Elements Divine Prison?" Su Yu asked. The Milky Way Star Sand was extremely powerful, and he wondered whether the Five Elements Divine Prison, which was ranked at the bottom, was also powerful.
Jian Wusheng took a look at Su Yu and said, "The information about the List of Ten Thousand Weapons isn't a secret at the All Creation level, so I don't mind telling you."
"The Five Elements Divine Prison was famous in the Antiquity Time. It had the ability to seal the sky and trap the earth. No matter if it was the Human Sovereign, the Ancient Demon Emperor, or the Celestial Demon who ruled the world, once they were imprisoned in the Five Elements Divine Prison, they would never be able to escape, unless the owner of the Five Elements Divine Prison released them," Jian Wusheng said seriously.
"In the Jiuzhou Continent, even if one becomes a Jiuzhou Emperor, he won't get the chance to touch an imperial saint artifact." Jian Wusheng's phantom image's eyes were burning with passion as she looked at Su Yu and said, "Lad, this imperial saint artifact is a disaster for you, so why don't you give it to my main body? Of course, I won't let you suffer any losses. As long as you are willing, I can make you my only disciple. you can take over the Lifeless Sword Prefecture in the future and become one of the world's nine kings! "
Sure enough, Jian Wusheng's desire for possession of this object was stronger than ever.
Who would be able to control their emotions when such a shocking Emperor-based Saint Weapon had appeared?
If a Prefecture's King held this item in his hand, who in the Nine States could fight him?
When the Central Prefecture's King discovered that Su Yu possessed the Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron, he didn't hesitate to mobilize five All Creation Realm experts to hunt him down.
The conditions proposed by Jian Wusheng were extremely tempting. She was the last disciple of a Prefecture's King and the future master of the Lifeless Sword Prefecture.
Since then, the Central Prefecture's King had to restrain himself and would never dare to attack Su Yu again.
If Su Yu had been an ordinary person, he would have been so shocked that he would have lost his ability to think. However, Su Yu had the Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron and the Milky Way Star Sand.
An exchange would indeed bring Su Yu unimaginable benefits.
However, Su Yu had never pursued status. What he wanted was power.
Only when one was strong could one truly be strong.
Therefore, sacrificing a powerful and heaven-defying Emperor-based Saint Artifact in exchange for a position did not conform to Su Yu's philosophy.
"Before I answer, can I ask you a question?" Su Yu's eyes lit up as he asked, "I want to know whether Jian Wusheng's main body knows about everything that happened here."
If she knew about it, then the existence of the Five Elements Divine Prison would have already been known by her. Hence, it would be better for Su Yu to take a step back and agree to her request.
However, if she didn't know about it …
Jian Wusheng's phantom image's eyes flickered and a conflicted look appeared on her face. After a long while, she looked at Su Yu and sighed in a low voice. "It's a pity that my main body only left behind a phantom image and didn't leave behind any means of communication. I will disappear completely after being defeated, so my main body won't know about everything that happened here."
A bitter look appeared on her face as she said, "My main body's biggest mistake in my life was missing such an opportunity. Sigh … Maybe it's just my fate."
The phantom image contained Jian Wusheng's main body's personality. Judging from her behavior, it seemed like she was a decent person.
She didn't seem angry, disappointed, or remorseful.
Su Yu heaved a sigh of relief. "It's a pity that I can't hand it over to your main body for the time being. Rather than relying on others to survive, I hope to reach the pinnacle of the martial path myself."
Jian Wusheng remained silent for a long time. Then, she sighed softly and said, "If I get it, I'll be lucky. If I don't, I'll be doomed. Forget it. It's better that I don't know about it. If I focus on my swordsmanship, I might be able to break through the shackles with the sword in my hand.
She had already accepted her fate and recovered her composure. "Now, I will answer your first question. How can I cultivate the seals inside?"
"Actually, the Five Elemental Profundity you mentioned is the Magic Art to control this Emperor-based Saint Weapon. However, you mistook the Five Elemental Profundity for a cultivation method," Jian Wusheng said patiently.
Su Yu was bewildered. It seemed like the Shangguan family didn't know that it was an imperial saint artifact when they got it.
As for the control technique, they immediately practiced it on the spot.
Sure enough, Jian Wusheng said, "To cultivate the control technique, you must first communicate with the saint artifact's artifact spirit. Only then can you master every step of control under its guidance."
Excitement appeared in Su Yu's eyes. "Then, how can I communicate with the saint artifact's artifact spirit?"
Su Yu looked at the artifact spirit and tried to use his Soul Eyes. However, he couldn't penetrate the Five Elements Divine Tower. His soul power, which was trying to probe it, was all bounced back.
"Communicating with the artifact spirit requires the soul power of an All Creation expert. Although your soul power is pretty good, it's still far from enough," Jian Wusheng said.
All Creation … Su Yu felt as if he had just been splashed with a bucket of cold water.
"However, as your reward for defeating me, I will guide you in your cultivation, and I will also help you communicate with it." Jian Wusheng's phantom image looked at the Five Elements Divine Prison. The space between her brows split open, and a pure, dazzling beam of light shot out of it and entered the Five Elements Divine Prison.
Jian Wusheng's phantom image closed her eyes tightly, and her face twitched slightly. It seemed like communicating with the artifact spirit wasn't an easy task.
Su Yu felt that something was amiss, and when he was about to stop Jian Wusheng's phantom image, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Her gaze was filled with surprise as she said, "The Five Elements Divine Prison's internal space is too vast, and searching for the artifact spirit is more difficult than I imagined."
Confusion flickered in Su Yu's eyes as he looked at Jian Wusheng's phantom image. He wondered … What's with the painful look on her face a moment ago? Don't I have any recollection of it?
"Well, did you manage to find the artifact spirit?" Su Yu asked.
Jian Wusheng's phantom image nodded. "Yes, I found it, but it's a pity that the Five Elements Divine Prison has existed for too long, and the artifact spirit's spiritual nature is quite weak. So, it will probably disappear from this world."
Su Yu was already mentally prepared for this, as it seemed like his Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron and Milky Way Star Sand didn't have any artifact spirits.
"I will help you summon it, and it will depend on you whether you can get its acknowledgement and teach you the controlling technique," Jian Wusheng's phantom image said. Her phantom image gradually disappeared, turning into many symbols that dissipated in the secret room.
Her gaze was still fixed on Su Yu, and she wore a faint smile as she said, "I hope that one day, we will meet in the Jiuzhou Continent. I wish you good luck, lucky lad."
After she spoke, she disappeared completely.
Su Yu stood up and cupped his hands respectfully. "Senior, many thanks for teaching me. I'm really grateful for it."
At this moment, the Five Elements Divine Prison's colorless radiance permeated the area, while a dignified voice drifted out of the Five Elements Divine Prison.
"Is the person who got the Five Elements Divine Prison still a human? Sigh … I will have to spend a lot of effort to teach him the Demon Clan's language. "
Su Yu's eyes flickered, and he asked in surprise, "The Demon Clan's language?"
He had gotten Yun Yazi's lifetime research, and he knew all living beings' languages and words. Although he couldn't say that he was proficient in them, he could still communicate with them.
This voice was the Demon Clan's language.
"Well, a human who is proficient in the Demon Clan's language?" A surprised voice echoed from the Five Elements Divine Prison.
It seemed quite surprised. Just after this, the Five Elements Divine Prison trembled slightly, while a dark-green flood dragon, which was as big as a thumb, flew out of the Five Elements Divine Prison and stood atop it.
The dark-green flood dragon was vivid and lifelike, as if it was a living creature. However, in Su Yu's Soul Eyes, it was just a weak soul body, which wasn't even as strong as a Level One Fairy's soul.
If Su Yu wanted to, he could destroy it at any time.
"Are you an Artifact Spirit?" Su Yu tried to converse in the Demon Clan's language.
Although the black-green water dragon was small, it was very majestic. It slightly nodded and praised, "I didn't expect that I would be so lucky to meet a human who is proficient in our language. In this way, the Five Elements Divine Prison will have a successor."
As he spoke, the black-green water dragon stood up like a human, and its shadow gradually expanded. In the blink of an eye, it was ten feet tall, and it was at the same level as Su Yu.
"Human, this demon is the artifact spirit of the Five Elements Divine Prison. You can call me Yuan Jiao." Yuan Jiao said, "I have lived for ten thousand years and served nine masters of the Human Race. You are the tenth."
Su Yu raised his brows and asked suspiciously, "Are you really an Artifact Spirit? How could an Emperor-based Saint Weapon belong to the Demon Clan? "
Unexpectedly, Yuan Jiao couldn't help but purse his lips and laugh, "Hahaha, the ignorant are truly fearless. The Human Clan's Emperor-based Saint Weapon? The Human Clan is ranked at the bottom of the List of Myriad Beings. You can't even control your own life and death. How could you have an Emperor-based Saint Weapon? "
The List of Eternal Beings? What was that?
Apart from the human race, were there many more powerful creatures?
All of this was foreign information to Su Yu.
"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to serve a human as my master. Your human race's cultivation is low, and your lifespan is short. Learning how to control the Five Elements Divine Prison requires you to spend your whole life. Moreover, just after you learn how to control it, you will die because your lifespan will come to an end. So, I will have no choice but to serve a new master. If it was an outstanding Demon Clan member, he would have been able to control it in just three hundred years. Moreover, the Demon Clan has a lifespan of ten million years, so they can control the Five Elements Divine Prison for a long time. "
Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. "You don't need to compromise and serve a human."
Yuan Jiao, who was standing proudly, snorted and said, "I'm an Artifact Spirit, and it's my duty to teach my master how to control a divine artifact."
Upon hearing his sophistry, Su Yu replied calmly, "Is that so? Why do I feel like you are compromising because you are afraid of dying? "
Even though Su Yu had never come into contact with an Artifact Spirit, he still understood that an Artifact Spirit also needed to be nurtured.
An Artifact Spirit that didn't have a master would become weaker after being nurtured for a long time.
Now, it was so weak that it was only at the Level One Fairy Realm. If no one nurtured it, it would probably die.
Yet, it still dared to put on airs in front of Su Yu!
Yuan Jiao glared at him angrily. "Human lad, you …"
However, he didn't manage to finish his words before Su Yu interrupted him. Su Yu snorted coldly and said, "Listen to me clearly. Since you want to continue living as an Artifact Spirit, then don't put on airs in front of me. It doesn't matter to me whether you are an imperial saint artifact or not. If you aren't willing to do your best to help me control the Five Elements Divine Prison, then I will suppress you forever until you die."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Jiao didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed and said, "It doesn't matter to me whether I have you or not. Ignorant lad, your tone is really arrogant. Isn't an imperial saint artifact something that a human like you can meddle with …"
His words came to an abrupt end, as Su Yu's right palm was filled with layers of the Milky Way's starlight.
"It's the Milky Way Star Sand, ranked 21st on the Ancient Gods' Ten Thousand Weapons List." Yuan Jiao sucked in a breath of cold air.
It thought it was a great fortune for a human brat to possess an Emperor-based Saint Weapon that was ranked 9,000. However, it did not expect the human brat to possess a supreme-grade Emperor-based Saint Weapon that was ranked 21st!
