Jianchen stared at the yellow-clothed girl who was not too far away. After a slight hesitation, he said, "Wait a moment."
The voice that came from behind caused the yellow-clothed girl to stop moving forward. Without turning her head, she said, "Is there anything else?"
Jianchen pondered for a moment before saying, "I think you don't have a barrier protecting you."
"I don't have a barrier in my body." The yellow-clothed girl did not deny it.
Jianchen sternly said, "You have a Ruler Armament on you, and you don't have a barrier protecting you. Do you think it's safe for you to leave by yourself? Although Shi Xiangran is dead, he is only one of the many people who covet your Ruler Armament. Other than Shi Xiangran, who can guarantee that there won't be others who covet your Ruler Armament? For example, Qin Ji and Tianmu Ling. If the two of them make a move against you, it will be very difficult for you to deal with them alone. I believe you also understand the importance of a Ruler Armament to a clan. Who knows, they might not hesitate to take your Sun Moon Bow for their clan's sake. After all, this is a great contribution to their clan. Moreover, they don't have any interactions with you.
"Furthermore, other than the two of them, there are quite a few Earth Saint Masters who are not weak. There is no lack of people who are organized. You can easily kill Earth Saint Masters with your Ruler Armament, but what if a group of Earth Saint Masters were to attack you at the same time? Can you handle it? After all, your Sun Moon Bow is only powerful in long-range attacks. Once they get close to you, your Sun Moon Bow will lose this huge advantage. In the end, who can guarantee that no one has set a trap for you? "
After saying that, even Jianchen did not know why he wanted Huang Luan to stay. Perhaps it was because after spending more than a month together, Jianchen did not wish for the devastatingly beautiful Huang Luan to die here. This was because Jianchen now had a rough understanding of Ruler Armaments. Even someone as prideful as Dugu Feng did not hesitate to sacrifice his own freedom in order to protect his Ruler Armament, forcing himself to swear a blood oath. From this, it could be seen just how important Ruler Armaments were to large clans.
Huang Luan was alone, and the King Weapon in her hand was a longbow that could only be used for long-range attacks. Once the enemy got close to her, the advantage of her King Weapon would be greatly reduced. In addition, she did not have the protection of a barrier, so it was inevitable that some people would be greedy and attack her.
As for Qin Ji and Tianmu Ling, they were the ones that Jianchen was most worried about. This was because the two of them had been in close contact with Huang Luan for a long time. Perhaps they had already figured out Huang Luan's background. Although Jianchen was not sure if the two of them would attack Huang Luan, he had to be on guard against them.
Hearing Jian Chen's words, Huang Luan's expression suddenly became serious. What Jian Chen said was not without reason. After the incident in the cave, many people knew that she had a King Armament. Although it was the first time that many people had heard of a King Armament and didn't know what it was, they were afraid that they would encounter someone who knew the value of a King Armament. With the value of a King Armament and the fact that she didn't have the protection of a barrier and was alone, perhaps some people would really make a move against her due to the various disadvantages of a King Armament.
Thinking of this, Huang Luan's complexion became more and more heavy. Originally, she thought that Shi Xiangran was dead and she would be fine, but she didn't expect that an even bigger trouble would appear. All of this was because the King Weapon was too precious.
"Just in case, you should stay with us. In a dozen days, the elimination round will end. At that time, we will all be transported out. Once we leave this place, you will be truly safe." Seeing that Huang Luan's will was wavering, Jianchen immediately struck while the iron was hot. He didn't know whether he treated Huang Luan as a stranger or as an ordinary friend. In short, Jianchen was very unwilling to see Huang Luan get into an accident during the elimination round. Perhaps it was because of Huang Luan's devastatingly beautiful appearance, or perhaps it was because of the friendship he had with Huang Luan over the past month. Or perhaps it was because he had accidentally peeked at her body when they met, which made him feel a little guilty. The reason was so complicated that even Jianchen himself couldn't explain it clearly.
Huang Luan stood in place without moving, as if she was hesitating. After a long while, she was finally convinced by Jianchen and slowly nodded her head.
Jianchen let out a sigh of relief, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face as he said, "Let's go back and find a place to stay. The next thing we need to do is to wait patiently. The participation token is already enough for us to enter the top 500."
Huang Luan canceled the idea of separating from Jianchen and leaving by herself, and once again followed behind Jianchen and returned to the group. After returning, Jianchen couldn't help but be winked at by Ming Dong. Although Ming Dong didn't say it out loud, the flirting in his eyes could be seen by even an idiot, making Jianchen unable to explain himself.
"Bro, you're amazing. This girl is much prettier than my sister. She's just not as gentle as my sister." Qin Xiao moved closer to Jianchen and chuckled. He looked at Jianchen meaningfully, which made Jianchen feel rather awkward. His relationship with Huang Luan really wasn't as complicated as everyone thought, but Ming Dong and the others just had to think in a different direction, which left Jianchen helpless. If he were to explain himself at this time, not only would it not have the slightest effect, but it would also cause everyone to misunderstand him even more.
In a large tent the size of a house, Ming Dong, Doctor An, Yun Zheng, Jianchen, Dugu Feng, Qin Xiao, Zither Master, and Huang Luan were all sitting around a round table. The table was filled with all kinds of fragrant dishes. These were all things that Jianchen had found in Jiedewukang's Space Ring. There was a large pile of prepared dishes inside. Since Space Rings were much stronger than Space Belts, the things inside wouldn't deteriorate at all. Some cooked dishes could be preserved for a long time, and in Jiedewukang's Space Ring, there was also a large pile of prepared delicacies. The amount stored was so large that it was enough for the five of them to eat for several months.
After the meal, everyone left one after another. In the end, only Jianchen, Ming Dong, Dugu Feng, and Huang Luan remained at the table.
Ming Dong looked around and made sure that no one was eavesdropping before returning to his seat. He mysteriously said to Jianchen, "Jianchen, do you know the use of a Saint Ruler's skeleton?"
"Yeah, I really am very curious. Just what is so precious about a skeleton that you all are fighting over it so fiercely?" Jianchen immediately became interested.
"Let me tell you." This time, the Yellow Luan actually took the initiative to speak for the first time. Her voice was very soft and gentle. "You're reading on NovelFull Thanks.
Huang Luan organized her thoughts and slowly said, "The lifespan of a Saint Ruler is limited. When a Saint Ruler reaches the end of their lifespan, they will naturally die. We have a unified term for this death, and that is passing away in meditation. Since the power of a Saint Ruler is just too great and extremely condensed, the Saint Weapons completely condensed from their energy will not disperse after they pass away. Instead, they will turn into pure energy and remain in their bodies, slowly entering their bones before being hidden away. As a result, the skeleton of a Saint Ruler is basically equivalent to all the power of a Saint Ruler. It's extremely precious. Once you obtain the skeleton of a Saint Ruler, it's equivalent to obtaining all the Saint Ruler's power. Tell me, wouldn't that be enough to make people jealous? "
Jianchen nodded as if he understood. He said, "I think I understand a little. But if that's the case, where did the Ruler Armaments in your hands come from? According to what you've said, once the energy of a Saint Ruler completely fuses into their bones, the Saint Weapons should have dispersed as well. How can they be preserved?"
Huang Luan said, "The strength of Saint Rulers is divided into a total of nine layers, known as the Nine Heavenly Layers. Saint Rulers who have reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer already stand at the peak of their current cultivation level, only a single step away from reaching the level of Holy Emperor. At that time, the energy within Saint Rulers at the Ninth Heavenly Layer has already reached the limit of purity, approaching a qualitative change. They already have the ability to forcefully sever the connection between their Saint Weapons and their bodies. As a result, all Saint Rulers at the Ninth Heavenly Layer will draw their Saint Weapons when they reach the end of their lifespan and forcefully sever their connection with their Saint Weapons. That way, their Saint Weapons will perfectly preserve their power and never disperse. That's how Ruler Armaments are created."
"Only Saint Rulers at the Ninth Heavenly Layer can forcefully sever their connection with their Saint Weapons and perfectly preserve their Saint Weapons when they reach the end of their lifespan, while those below the Ninth Heavenly Layer are unable to do so. As a result, after they pass away, their Saint Weapons will turn into energy and enter their skeleton, just like the skeleton we just saw?" Jianchen asked.
"Correct," said Huang Luan.
"Then I'm curious. Why would those Saint Rulers at the Ninth Heavenly Layer cut off their connection with their Saint Weapons when they reach the end of their lifespan, allowing others to benefit from it? Of course, to some people with clans and organizations, they're obviously doing this for the benefit of their juniors. However, I remember that you said all of them and not just a certain part because I don't believe that every Saint Ruler on the Tian Yuan Continent has their own background," Jianchen voiced his doubts.
"It's because this is related to an unrealistic legend. As a result, all the Saint Rulers at the Ninth Heavenly Layer choose to sever their connection with their Saint Weapons and perfectly preserve their Saint Weapons," said Huang Luan.
"Legend. Oh, right. Jianchen, my uncle Tian told me about this before. Let me explain it to you." Ming Dong's expression changed. He said, "My uncle Tian said that when the Saint Rulers of the Ninth Heavenly Layer cut off their connection with their Saint Weapons, they would leave behind a small portion of their essence, presence, and soul to fuse with their Saint Weapons in hopes that the impossible legend would happen to them."
"What's that legend?" Jianchen immediately became interested.
"It's resurrection," said Dugu Feng sternly.
"What? Resurrection?" Jianchen was stunned before disbelief flooded his face.
Ming Dong nodded sternly, "That's right. It's indeed resurrection. That's what my uncle Tian told me."
"H- how is that possible?" At that moment, Jianchen found it unbelievable. He found it rather difficult to accept.
Huang Luan gently sighed, "It's indeed impossible because this legend has never been realized. However, it's hard to understand. What's understandable is that all the Saint Rulers at the Ninth Heavenly Layer firmly believe in this matter. As a result, all the Saint Rulers of the Ninth Heavenly Layer choose to sever their connection with their Saint Weapons when they reach the end of their lifespans without exception."
Dugu Feng pondered, "I think there's definitely something we don't know about, or I really don't understand why those Saint Rulers of the Ninth Heavenly Layer firmly believe in this legend that has never been realized."
Jianchen forcefully shook his head and murmured, "This is just too unbelievable. The Saint Weapons left behind by Saint Rulers can actually resurrect them. That's just too ridiculous. No wonder this legend has never been realized. It's just impossible."
