"Yes!"
Seeing that there was still a little left for it, the Dragonbone Divine Spear couldn't help but tremble in agitation. It morphed back into its skeletal dragon form and swallowed it whole.
As soon as the blood seeped into his body, the massive dragon body immediately began to tremble. It was as if countless lightning bolts were coursing through its body, and its aura swiftly surged. It felt as if the seal in its body would be undone at any moment, allowing it to regain the power of an Ancient Sage artifact.
Knowing that it would still take some time for him to assimilate the dragon blood and break through the seal, Zhang Xuan turned his attention back to the Dongxu Gourd with a doubtful look on his face.
He had thought that the Dongxu Gourd was just a low-tier Dongxu Gourd, but who could have thought that not only would it gain sentience and speak the human language, it would even be able to snatch the blood essence from Sovereign Chen Ling …
No matter which point it was, it showed that it was definitely not an ordinary item!
Could it be a Great Sage supreme treasure or an Ancient Sage supreme treasure?
Unable to hold it in any longer, he asked, "You … what exactly are you?"
Since this fellow had gained sentience, perhaps he knew his identity.
"Gourd!" The gourd wriggled.
Zhang Xuan was speechless … Why was it that he couldn't help but want to beat this guy up when he talked to him?
He resisted the urge to draw his saber. "I'm asking, what level of treasure is it?"
The Dongxu Gourd paused for a moment before replying, "I don't know either!"
"You don't know?"
"I only have consciousness now. I'm still very weak, very small, like a child … I need to eat a lot of things to recover. Yes, right, as long as you give me enough food, once I recover, you'll know what level I am …"
The gourd kept shaking, and it seemed like it was drooling.
"…" Zhang Xuan.
Where is my knife?
Do you believe that I won't hack this fool to death?
There were only two things that Zhang Xuan had eaten so far. The first was the Otherworldly Meteorite, which he had no idea what tier it was. The second was the Dragon Blood, which was a treasure capable of inducing a breakthrough in the Dragonbone Divine Spear. Even an Ancient Sage 4-dan expert like Sovereign Chen Ling had to put his life on the line in order to obtain it.
You devour, only to recover?
Such shameless boasting … If it doesn't work, I'll just throw it away!
After his anger subsided, he was also a little curious.
Only this kind of thing was worth eating … What kind of monster was this guy?
It was no wonder Ancient Sage Qiu Wu had personally set up a folded space and nourished it with the spiritual energy of the world for several dozen millenniums.
He was afraid that things were not that simple.
Perhaps, it might be an artifact on par with the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo!
Zhang Xuan reached out to touch it, wanting to see what it was. However, it didn't materialize into a book.
It seemed that the Library of Heaven's Path wouldn't work since the other party was still conscious.
Unless … he executed a battle technique or obliterated that fellow's consciousness.
In the end, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
No matter what grade it was, it was fine as long as it was a treasure. Even though it was a little unreliable …
"Alright, you can rest now …"
Knowing that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered to probe any further. Thus, he stowed Zhang Xuan into his storage ring before taking out all of the Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sage corpses that he had collected earlier.
The corpses that had been used as shields by the two Ancient Sages earlier were already filled with cracks, rendering them unusable. However, there were still a few corpses that were still intact. He could make use of this opportunity to tame them.
Zhang Xuan dived his soul into one of the corpses of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers pinnacle experts.
In less than an hour, it was completely refined.
And then the next one …
Four hours later, all of them were refined into Soulless Metal Humanoids.
There were a total of four corpses, and the strongest was at Ancient Sage 2-dan pinnacle whereas the weakest was at Ancient Sage 1-dan pinnacle. With them around, he would not have to panic like he did before.
Shortly after Zhang Xuan finished assimilating the corpse, he heaved a sigh of relief when he suddenly saw dark clouds gathering in the sky. The surrounding space began to distort as if a storm was descending.
"This is the Ancient Sage Ordeal! The Dragonbone Divine Spear is about to achieve a breakthrough! "
Ancient Sage Mo Ling exclaimed as he halted his cultivation and stood up.
Zhang Xuan turned his gaze over and saw that the skeletal dragon was already filled with flesh and blood. Its pitch-black scales reflected the light, giving it an unfathomable aura.
"Undoing the seal will trigger a heavenly tribulation?"
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
The Dragonbone Divine Spear was an Ancient Sage artifact in the first place. It was just that Ancient Sage Ran Qiu had sealed its power. Why would it trigger a heavenly tribulation when it was undone?
"Normally, undoing the seal would only happen when you advance to Ancient Sage and remove the seal on it. However, the skeletal dragon would only evolve its physical body. In other words, it's not undoing the seal but … achieving a breakthrough!"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling said.
"Achieving a breakthrough?" Zhang Xuan was stunned.
That made sense.
The sealed Dragonbone Divine Spear was already far more powerful than the Infernal Blacksaber before it had achieved a breakthrough. Furthermore, with the help of the powerful dragon blood, it was only natural for it to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage.
As for the Aeon of Ancient Sage … The skeletal dragon was an Ancient Sage artifact in the first place. Even though its strength had been sealed, there was no doubt that it would contain the Aeon of Ancient Sage within its body.
While the two of them were conversing, the heavenly tribulation finally descended. Heavenly flames and lightning bolts fused together and fell from the sky. The skeletal dragon, which could be referred to as a black dragon, roared furiously as it charged forward. Its massive body swam freely within the heavenly tribulation as the flames and lightning bolts tempered it, causing its scales to grow brighter and brighter.
"As expected of a powerful artifact forged by Ancient Sage Ran Qiu. Even though it has only just achieved a breakthrough to Ancient Sage, it was able to make use of its own strength to push for a breakthrough to Blood Reincarnation realm, making it even stronger than me!"
Recognizing the origin of the Dragonbone Divine Spear, Ancient Sage Mo Ling could not help but remark.
Ancient Sage Ran Qiu was the strongest individual under Kong Shi's tutelage, and the Dragonbone Divine Spear was known as the number one spear in the ancient era.
Even though it had only just achieved a breakthrough, it was still able to reach Blood Reincarnation realm with the help of its own strength.
If it could undo the seal on its body, it might really be able to achieve a breakthrough to the Dimension Shatterer realm.
"Could this be the reason why Ancient Sage Ran Qiu intentionally sealed his cultivation?"
With such a thought in mind, Zhang Xuan's heart suddenly jolted.
If he could achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage and undo the seal on the Dragonbone Divine Spear, it might just be able to push for a breakthrough to a higher realm.
Perhaps, this was Ancient Sage Ran Qiu's original intention!
It's no wonder people say that only by suppressing one's cultivation and not rushing to achieve a breakthrough would one be able to reach a higher realm.
The more times one attempted to push for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage, the greater the potential one would be able to achieve in the future.
Kong Shi had attempted several breakthroughs in order to achieve his current level of strength.
On the other hand, the Dragonbone Divine Spear had attempted a breakthrough once before. Now that its cultivation was sealed, it was only a matter of time before it attempted a breakthrough once more.
Even though I still can't undo the seal and push for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage 4-dan, it should be enough for now!
Seeing how the heavenly tribulation was growing weaker and weaker under the Dragonbone Divine Spear's resistance, Zhang Xuan's eyes glowed in excitement.
The Dragonbone Divine Spear currently wielded strength comparable to a Blood Reincarnation realm consummation cultivator, putting it on par with Vicious. Once he wielded it, he would no longer have to fear any Blood Reincarnation realm cultivator!
If he were to meet Sovereign Chen Ling again, he would be able to pummel the latter easily.
Hula!
With the dissipation of the lightning clouds, the black dragon swiftly transformed into a spear in the blink of an eye and flew over to Zhang Xuan. With a slight shake of its body, it spoke with a respectful attitude.
"Master!"
