After sending off the Fire Lord of Stars, Song Zhong and Huang Jixiang chatted for a while before splitting up to recuperate. Huang Jixiang went back to meditate to absorb the medicinal effects, while Song Zhong returned to his natal space.
This time, SongZhong felt that his Natal Artifact was completely different from before. His previous natal space, other than the mysterious black soil, gave off a mundane feeling, as if he had come to a spiritual realm in the mortal realm.
But this time, after SongZhong sucked away all the Celestial Qi, this place which was supposed to be barren and abandoned suddenly changed, becoming mystical.
The most obvious change was in the sky. Originally, in SongZhong's Natal Artifact, the sky was only a blur. But now, there was a sun, a moon, and stars in the sky.
Actually, these things existed in the past as well. However, they were all blurry and hard to see. Even if SongZhong flew up, he would not be able to touch them. It was as though SongZhong and Devour were separated by something.
But the situation now was completely different. These sun, moon, and stars hung clearly in the sky. Not only could Song Zhong see them, he could even use his consciousness to feel their existence.
That sun was a giant fireball with a diameter of several thousand miles, and it was burning with golden flames. Song Zhong immediately recognized that it was the Grand Sun Primordial Fire!
The Grand Sun Primordial Fire was a powerful flame that was not any weaker than the Xuan Ji Heavenly Fire. It could only be released from the core of the sun. Under normal circumstances, immortals could only obtain such a thing by collecting sunlight daily and purifying it.
Magic treasures refined with the Grand Sun Primordial Fire were extremely powerful. Although it could not burn anything like the Xuan Ji Heavenly Fire, it was more destructive than the Xuan Ji Heavenly Fire. However, it was much more destructive than the Xuan Ji Heavenly Fire. The Grand Sun Primordial Fire was much more destructive than the Xuan Ji Heavenly Fire. Moreover, the Grand Sun Primordial Fire was an item of extreme Yang, and had an additional effect on evil things. For example, the Asura Blood Tribe was most afraid of this type of True Sun Flame.
In addition, the moon on the other side of the Natal Space also exuded the power of the moon. That was the unique Yin energy of the moon in the Heaven Realm. It had a strong enhancement effect on the Demon Clan and the Ghost Clan. It was also a rare and precious item that was not inferior to the True Fire of the Sun.
Even the surrounding stars in the sky faintly emitted the power of the stars. This was a treasure that was as famous as the True Fire of the Sun and the Power of the Moon. It had an extremely strong penetrative ability, and the Immortal Artifacts refined with it all had the attribute of being indestructible.
Although the power of the stars here was far less than the power of the stars outside, it was enough for Song Zhong to collect. If he could collect all of the power of the stars, it would be enough to forge a Grade Nine Immortal Artifact.
SongZhong would never have imagined that the sun, moon and stars in his Natal Artifact, which were originally just decorations, would turn into a real sun, moon and stars. Furthermore, they were even able to release the corresponding abilities. Just this alone allowed SongZhong to have a few more killing moves.
And this was not all. Song Zhong also found that there was a bit of vitality in the life space, which was almost exactly the same as the Immortal World outside.
Song Zhong, who was extremely surprised, immediately let the flower demons here continue to decompose the trash equipment that Song Zhong had put in his life space. As the black soil started to work again, traces of Immortal Qi gushed out from the black soil again. In just more than a day, after the black soil had decomposed a few mountains of trash, the concentration of Immortal Qi in the life space once again reached an extreme level.
At this time, another surprise appeared. Song Zhong found that, of course, when the Immortal Qi in the life space reached an extreme level, the Immortal Qi would not condense into Immortal Jade like before. Instead, it would be absorbed by the sun, moon, and stars in the sky. It would transform into the True Fire of the Sun, the Power of the Moon, and the Power of the Stars.
Seeing this, Song Zhong was so excited that he almost fainted! It must be known that in the Immortal World, these three forces could only be slowly collected from the sky, and then gradually extracted by oneself to obtain them. This method was not only slow, but the production was also not high and was particularly cumbersome. As a result, many Immortals had to give up these three powerful forces that could be easily obtained.
Now, Song Zhong's life space could produce them by itself, which meant that as long as there was enough Immortal Qi here, he could obtain endless True Fire of the Sun, the Power of the Moon, and the Power of the Stars.
Even if Song Zhong himself did not use them, he could just collect them and sell them, which would inevitably make Song Zhong rich enough to rival a country.
Of course, directly selling these three forces was a very stupid thing to do. If it was further processed, whether it was refined into Divine Thunder or Immortal Weapon, it would become more valuable. Song Zhong could almost see the Purple Jade Mountain waving to him.
For the first time in his life, he even began to fantasize about using the Solar Primordial Thunder to refine a Divine Thunder Boat. If he succeeded, the power of the Divine Thunder Boat would be able to contend with a Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
Filled with excitement, Song Zhong returned outside and continued to plan the next step of the plan!
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. That day was the day Song Zhong and the other victors would receive their rewards. The Jade Emperor had specially prepared a celebratory banquet for them.
In fact, this banquet should have been held immediately after the competition, but who told Song Zhong, the first place winner, and Huang Jixiang, the second place winner, to be injured? Left with no choice, the Jade Emperor delayed it for three days.
Although three days of recuperation was not enough for Song Zhong and Huang Jixiang to recover from their injuries, at least they could carry out basic social activities. As long as they did not fight, it would not be a big problem.
This celebratory banquet was the closing ceremony of the martial arts exhibition. It had a huge impact, and it was also Song Zhong's first official banquet, so he and Huang Jixiang did not dare to delay. Early in the morning, they washed up and dressed up with the help of Fairy Fei Tian. Then, they casually ate something and were politely brought to one of the Jade Emperor's palaces by the immortal officials. It was a place specially used for the celebratory banquet.
There were many people participating in the celebratory banquet. Among the three levels of contestants, as long as they were in the top 64, they could participate. In addition, there were representatives of the five Celestial Emperors, as well as some other great gods.
The banquet would not start so early, but everyone would come early to meet and chat with others to promote mutual communication. Of course, there were also many great powers who took the opportunity to discover young people with potential.
Everyone was chatting in groups of three to five in the Jade Emperor's luxurious palaces, which had a circumference of several thousand miles. It was very lively.
As the champion and runner-up of the highest level of the Martial Arts Exhibition, the appearance of Song Zhong and Huang Jixiang naturally attracted everyone's attention. All the familiar Immortals came over to greet them, and SongZhong and Huang Jixiang returned their greetings.
It should be said that the majority of people were still very friendly towards these two future stars. Even if they couldn't recruit them, they could at least build a good relationship with them.
However, not everyone was full of goodwill towards them. Among them, there were some people who felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but come out to find trouble.
The ones with the most obvious hostility were the three Xuanwu Army Chiefs. Oh, no, there were two of them now. Among them, the chief of the Seven Kills Army, the Seven Souls Killing Star, had already been crippled by Song Zhong. He simply did not have the face to come here. Thus, the ones who jumped out this time were the Heaven-Stealing Mouse and the White Tiger Devastating Army Spear!
Of course, although these two fellows hated Song Zhong, they didn't dare to openly make a move at this time. After all, this was Song Zhong's territory. If they really fought, the surrounding Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals would definitely help Song Zhong. Moreover, that would be too ungentlemanly. It would easily arouse the anger of the surrounding Immortals.
Thus, they didn't take advantage of the fact that Song Zhong and Huang Jixiang were injured to start a fight. Instead, they came over with fake smiles and looked at Song Zhong and Huang Jixiang with disdain. Then, the Heaven-Stealing Mouse suddenly smiled and cupped his fists at Song Zhong. "Congratulations, congratulations!"
In front of so many people, Song Zhong naturally couldn't do anything too ungentlemanly. After all, in name, the Five Emperors of the Heavenly Court were still on the same side. Thus, he suppressed the disgust in his heart and smiled apologetically. "Congratulations, congratulations!"
As he was speaking, SongZhong was secretly on his guard. In his opinion, these Heaven-Stealing Mouse and White Tiger Destroyer Spear definitely weren't here to congratulate him. They were definitely up to no good. He had to be careful.
Indeed, the moment SongZhong finished speaking, the White Tiger Army Destroying Spear by the side could not help but say, "SongZhong, I heard that you beat Huang Jixiang to the point he pissed in his pants, and even won against his XianTian spiritual artifact, the Mountain Driving Whip? Take it out for us to see? "
"Yes, yes. We haven't seen what a Connate Spiritual Treasure looks like." The Heaven-Stealing Mouse also joined in the fun.
When Song Zhong heard this, he was almost angered to death. How were these two bastards here to congratulate him? They were clearly here to sow discord!
Song Zhong could still endure, but when Huang Jixiang heard this, he was instantly enraged. He couldn't help but scold, "Heaven-Stealing Mouse, you really don't remember how to fight, do you? A few days ago, I used the Mountain Moving Whip to beat you half to death. How could you forget what it looks like now? Could it be that you want me to continue whipping you a few more times? "
"Hahaha ~" Close to a hundred immortals gathered around. When they heard this, they couldn't help but convulse with laughter. The immortals who could come here were at least Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, or even Hunyuan Golden Immortals. They didn't care about the feelings of the Heaven-Stealing Mouse.
Huang Jixiang's words made the Heaven-Stealing Mouse's face turn red. He suppressed his anger and sneered, "Hmph, you even lost the Mountain Moving Whip to someone else. What are you going to use to whip me?"
"Hmph, even if I don't have the Mountain Moving Whip, it's easy to deal with you!" Huang Jixiang sneered disdainfully.
When Song Zhong heard this, he instantly smiled. Then, he deliberately took a small step back, hinting for Huang Jixiang to go all out. Obviously, although Huang Jixiang looked silly, he was actually a shrewd person. He had obviously taken back the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Mountain Moving Whip, but he deliberately pretended that he didn't have it in front of the Heaven-Stealing Mouse. This was obviously to trick the other party into fighting with him, and then humiliate the Heaven-Stealing Mouse again!
The Heaven-Stealing Mouse didn't know the details. Even in his dreams, he would never have thought that Song Zhong would be so generous as to give away the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Mountain Moving Whip. So when he heard Huang Jixiang's words, his eyes instantly lit up. He immediately pretended to be angry and said, "Brat, do you really think that I'm afraid of you? If you have the guts, let's fight again. If I still lose to you, I'll call you Grandpa when I see you in the future! "
The Heaven-Stealing Mouse secretly rejoiced. "Without the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Mountain Moving Whip, what is this little Huang Jixiang? See how I steal all the Innate Earth Essence in his body! "
When Huang Jixiang heard the Heaven-Stealing Mouse's words, he was really overjoyed. He immediately wanted to agree, but unexpectedly, a soft cough came from the side, instantly interrupting his words.
This cough didn't sound loud, but when it landed in Huang Jixiang's ears, it was like thunder, directly shocking him. Although he wasn't injured, he was given a fright.
Huang Jixiang hurriedly turned his face to look, only to discover that an old man with a white beard had unknowingly appeared beside him. It was Taibai Jinxing!
This old man smiled slightly at Huang Jixiang and said, "As the saying goes, where it's possible to let people off, one should spare them. Don't go overboard!"
Clearly, Taibai Jinxing was concerned about the face of the Xuanwu Army, so he stepped forward to stop Huang Jixiang's actions. Song Zhong also understood this very well, so he hurriedly pulled Huang Jixiang to the side, not allowing him to continue speaking.
After all, the Xuanwu Army had really lost too much face this time. 18 Golden Immortals participating in the competition had been beaten down by Song Zhong alone, and the remaining few had been disqualified. Even one of the three chief disciples had been crippled by Song Zhong, becoming the laughing stock of the Immortal World. At this time, if Huang Jixiang seriously injured Heaven-Stealing Rat, no one could guarantee what the protective Black Tortoise Celestial Emperor would do!
No matter what, the Jade Emperor and Black Tortoise were on the same side. Although there were conflicts in the dark, they still had to stop before going too far. At the very least, they couldn't erupt on the surface, as that would be extremely disadvantageous to the Heavenly Court.
Seeing Song Zhong pull away the indignant Huang Jixiang, Taibai Jinxing smiled at Song Zhong with gratification, as if praising him for being able to see the big picture. Then, he turned to Heaven-Stealing Rat and said with a smile, "You little rat, you're usually quite a smart person, why are you so silly today? If Huang Jixiang didn't have the Innate Spiritual Treasure Mountain Moving Whip, why would he take the initiative to provoke you? Have you been hit in the head by the Mountain Moving Whip? "
Although Taibai Jinxing was jokingly scolding Heaven-Stealing Rat, his status was there, and he was indeed doing it for the good of Heaven-Stealing Rat, so Heaven-Stealing Rat didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he came to a realization and said in shock, "Could it be that Song Zhong didn't want the Mountain Moving Whip?"
"En!" Taibai Jinxing nodded and said with a smile, "Now, the Mountain Moving Whip is still in Huang Jixiang's hands. He has already become Song Zhong's subordinate. Don't find trouble with him in the future. Last time, you stole a piece of meat from him, and he has been bearing a grudge! "
"Ah!" When Taibai Jinxing said this, the surrounding people all sucked in a breath of cold air. They never thought that Song Zhong would have such courage to use a Connate Spiritual Treasure to rope in a Golden Immortal.
While Heaven-Stealing Rat was covered in cold sweat, he hurriedly bowed to Taibai Jinxing and said, "Thank you senior! If not for you, I'm afraid I would have to lie down again! "
Heaven-Stealing Rat's words weren't exaggerated at all. Although Song Zhong could deal with the Mountain Moving Whip, Heaven-Stealing Rat didn't have that ability. Last time, it was because Huang Jixiang was careless that he suffered a loss from Heaven-Stealing Rat. If the two of them met again, Huang Jixiang would definitely reward him with dozens of whips without hesitation. With Heaven-Stealing Rat's cultivation, under the attack of a Connate Spiritual Treasure, even if he didn't die, he would lose a layer of skin.
Taibai Jinxing smiled and said, "Alright, alright. As long as you don't complain to the Black Tortoise Heavenly Emperor about me, I'll be satisfied! Actually, in this martial arts exhibition, we really didn't have any intention of targeting you at all. It was all a series of misunderstandings that led to the current situation. We also feel very helpless, right? "
"Hehe!" Heaven-Stealing Rat only laughed when he heard this. Clearly, he still has some grudges against the Jade Emperor's faction.
As for the rash White Tiger Shattering Army Spear, he said in frustration, "SongZhong beating up 18 of our brothers, we admit it. After all, we were in the wrong first. But what about him crippling the Seven Souls Killing Star? Don't tell me that was also a misunderstanding! "
"Of course it was a misunderstanding!" Song Zhong continued, feeling wronged, "Just like him crippling Soaring Sword, it was definitely a misunderstanding!"
"Yes!" Huang Jixiang also said in a strange tone, "Or do you think that crippling Soaring Sword was not a misunderstanding, but intentional?"
"You ~" White Tiger Breaking Army Spear was so angry that he couldn't speak. Obviously, Song Zhong crippling Seven Souls Killing Star was not a misunderstanding, he did it on purpose. But the problem was that it was the same for Seven Souls Killing Star to cripple Soaring Sword! If he blamed Song Zhong for this, it was equivalent to admitting that Seven Souls Killing Star had done it on purpose. Seven Souls Killing Star had already been crippled, how could he still have the nerve to splash dirty water on him?
Seeing that White Tiger Breaking Army Spear was speechless, Heaven-Stealing Rat sneered and said, "Anyway, no matter what, among the people from the Black Tortoise Army who came this time, they were either chased away or crippled. This is the truth, right?"
Although Heaven-Stealing Rat was twisting words and forcing logic, Taibai Jinxing was not angry. He only smiled and transmitted his voice to Heaven-Stealing Rat, "Go back and tell the Black Tortoise Heavenly Emperor that this was really a misunderstanding. But now that things have come to this, there is no turning back. But in the next martial arts exhibition, I can give you three more spots as compensation! "
Heaven-Stealing Rat was obviously not satisfied. He pursed his lips and transmitted his voice, "Senior, we have so many people lying on the ground and even crippled a chief disciple. Just three spots in exchange? Isn't that too little? "
"Then what do you want?" Taibai Jinxing smiled helplessly. Actually, if not for the Black Tortoise Army's Snake General running away in anger, the one with the highest authority here would be Heaven-Stealing Rat. He would not lower himself to communicate with this kid. But now, he had no choice. He had to immediately clear up the misunderstanding with the Black Tortoise Army to prevent any trouble. Thus, he had no choice but to negotiate with this little rat.
As a peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal, he was forced to negotiate with a Golden Immortal and even be blackmailed by him. Taibai Jinxing felt very wronged! But this old fellow was open-minded. Even if he felt wronged, for the sake of the harmony of the Heavenly Court, he would endure it all. Just from this point alone, Song Zhong felt that Taibai Jinxing was very impressive.
