At the bottom of the valley was a medium-sized waterfall. The pond below the waterfall glowed with a faint green light.
The light shone through the water and rose several meters into the air. It was cold and hazy, like a fairyland.
When Lu Sheng and the others arrived, the place seemed unaffected by the outside world. It was still deathly silent. There was no sound of any living thing.
King Shadow's avatar walked to the pond and touched the water lightly.
"This is the place," he said in a low voice.
"Get ready. Let's go." Lu Sheng nodded. "Failure is not an option for this Divine Weapon mission."
A water-type Divine Weapon was the key to why he was interested in the Black Deer Tribe. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone looking for trouble with the Black Deer Demon Tribe, whose roots were in the government.
Elder Stone and King Shadow both knew what Lu Sheng was planning. Although they didn't know why Lu Sheng needed a Divine Weapon, since they joined the Prime Devil Sect and were under Sect Master Lu's command, they naturally had to work for him.
The two Demon Kings, along with one Divine Clone, spread out and surrounded the pool in a triangular formation.
Lu Sheng personally walked to the edge of the pond.
"Whoosh."
A faint golden membrane spread out around him. It was the True Qi black membrane he formed with the Thousand Sun Sect's unique golden True Qi.
This was the rule of the world. No matter what energy or system you had, once you cultivated to a certain level, you would walk the path of a Divine Weapon or Devil Blade.
Once you reached a certain level, any energy would condense into a black membrane. The Black Membrane would naturally increase the self-healing ability and strength of the body, and the speed of strength would also increase.
This was the biggest difference between Extraordinaires and mortals.
The golden True Qi on Lu Sheng's body was endless. It was like a thin golden mist, but strangely condensed. It always circled a few meters around Lu Sheng.
He slowly lifted his feet and walked into the pool. An ownerless Divine Weapon or Devil Blade, most likely a Golden Leaf grade Divine Weapon. This would improve him quite a bit. The next stage of the Infinity Technique needed something like this. Therefore, today, no matter what, he cannot let this divine weapon escape.
The pool water was extremely cold. As soon as Lu Sheng entered the water, the golden qi black membrane around him immediately slowed down. A thin layer of frost quickly climbed up the outer wall of the black membrane.
"Ultimate Crimson." Lu Sheng's expression did not change. This was only the first level of the battle. This time, he did not intend to use the power of his physical body. Instead, he planned to use the Infinity Technique's Yang Essence to try and resolve this.
The Infinity Technique had just been created, and he had yet to test its power.
As soon as Lu Sheng finished speaking, a speck of golden light lit up on the tip of his finger. The Yang Essence on his finger rapidly turned red and hot, transforming into liquefied Ultimate Crimson Qi in the blink of an eye. Like a drop of red ink, it hovered above his finger.
"Go." He gently tossed the red liquid on his finger forward.
The liquid droplet flew forward and actually forced back all the water within a two-meter radius, forming a huge vacuum sphere.
Lu Sheng walked slowly in this sphere, exploring the depths of the pool step by step.
The deeper and deeper one went, the colder the surroundings became, and the greenish color became thicker and thicker.
Lu Sheng dove for dozens of meters, but he still could not see the bottom of the pool.
He frowned slightly, feeling a little strange.
But the Divine Weapon's aura was in the depths, almost within reach.
"As long as it didn't escape." He was sure. He continued to move forward slowly.
After diving for another dozen meters, the surrounding water suddenly emitted a soft sound, as if something was leaking air, like a balloon leaking air.
Lu Sheng looked in the direction of the sound. From afar, he saw a green dragon covered in countless white icicles. It was coiled up in the black mud at the bottom of the pool, snoring loudly. The sound was the sound of its breathing as it slept.
This green dragon was dozens of meters long, with five claws on its abdomen and two pairs of horns on its head. Other than that, it was no different from an ordinary flood dragon in the legends. But the strangest and most special thing was that this green dragon only had one eye.
That single eye took up almost half of the entire dragon's head. It didn't look like a deformity, but more like something natural.
Lu Sheng's gaze swept over the green dragon, and then quickly fell on the center of its body. There was a dot of green light slowly flickering there.
"Xuan Mist," he said directly. His voice reverberated through the pool and reached the green dragon's ears in an instant.
The green dragon slowly opened its single eye. It was as if a small sun had suddenly appeared in the pool, and the extreme coldness increased greatly. Even the red liquid droplet in front of Lu Sheng shrank a little, but that was all.
"Who are you?" The green dragon stared at Lu Sheng with a cold and vigilant gaze.
"You're Xuan Mist?" Lu Sheng looked at the green dragon with interest. This was the first time he had seen a complete, normal, and ownerless Golden Leaf Divine Weapon.
"You're here to sign a contract with me? You should know my conditions, right? If you don't give me a thousand lives a year, then there's no need for further discussion, "Xuan Mist said coldly.
"A thousand lives?" Lu Sheng was speechless. He finally understood why the Black Deer Tribe had been unable to negotiate with this person.
Logically speaking, when a Divine Weapon or Devil Blade first signed a contract, the requirements for sacrifice were actually the lowest. As the user's cultivation and strength increased, the requirements and number of sacrifices would increase.
But this person had asked for a thousand lives a day. And that was just the beginning. What would happen after that? Would it become two thousand? Three thousand? Or even ten thousand?
There was a precedent for this. Many Chaotic Divine Weapons and Chaotic Devil Blades had been killed because their demands were too excessive. It had seriously disrupted the rule of the Weapon Masters.
That was why there were so many Divine Weapon and Devil Blade fragments.
"You really dare to dream?" Lu Sheng chuckled. "Forget it. I'll give you two choices. First, obediently surrender and go back with me to live a good life. The other is to recognize me as your master and sign a contract with me. Don't even think about sacrifices. I'll throw you a few when I'm in a good mood. "
Xuan Mist froze. It couldn't react for a moment. Had this person lost his mind? How dare he speak so arrogantly in front of a Divine Weapon or Devil Blade?
It felt surreal, as if the person in front of it wasn't talking about it, but another Divine Weapon that looked like it.
But there wasn't a second Divine Weapon within a five-kilometer radius.
So after a moment of hesitation, Xuan Mist exploded.
"Roar!!!"
He roared at the sky. The white icicles on his body suddenly scattered and shot in all directions. The entire body of the Flood Dragon, which was dozens of meters long, spun in the water like a giant python, and pounced at Lu Sheng.
"You're asking for it!!"
Lu Sheng didn't panic. He took a step back and pointed forward again.
A faint gold dot suddenly lit up. Because of the Infinity Technique, Pure Gold True Qi could be transformed by Yang Essence at will. He was a Devil Master now, but his True Qi cultivation wasn't high before the fusion. So the Pure Gold True Qi he transformed now was at most at the beginner level of a Weapon Master. It was also at the Golden Leaf level.
A Weapon Master with a Golden Leaf level Divine Weapon could only unleash the power of a beginner Weapon Master. Not a Devil Master or a Divine Master, who could unleash the full power of a Golden Leaf Divine Weapon.
But this power should be enough to deal with a normal Divine Weapon. After all, it wasn't a Rogue Divine Weapon. Rogue Divine Weapons could be said to be the peak of Divine Weapons. A Divine Weapon that unleashed its full potential was a Rogue Divine Weapon. But this one clearly wasn't one.
Lu Sheng didn't want to cause too much of a commotion. After all, the Turquoise Conch Agency and Yin Yang Agency were still around. He still wanted to have a better life in the three sects. While the three sects only had two Weapon Grandmasters as their backing, there were many more old monsters. There were also Divine Masters who were infinitely close to Weapon Grandmasters. In fact, there were quite a few of them.
So although he was strong now, he didn't want to attract too much attention.
The Pure Gold True Qi was originally Earth Prime level True Qi. Now that it was channeled by Lu Sheng's Divine Master spirit, its power was forcefully raised to the level of a Weapon Master.
"Pcchht!"
A dot of golden light shot out and suddenly turned into a flowery oval formation diagram. It slowly spun in front of Lu Sheng. An obvious triangular winged snake flashed in the center of the formation diagram.
"Go." Lu Sheng pointed at the formation diagram again.
A dark golden beam of light shot out from the formation diagram and hit the head of Xuan Mist who was charging at him.
"Bam!"
The golden beam of light was endless. Like a wrestling match, it firmly blocked Xuan Mist's charge.
With a boom, Xuan Mist was deflected by this huge force. It crashed head first into the stone wall of the pool behind Lu Sheng.
For a moment, the mud was muddy, the rocks shattered, and the water flowed rapidly. The entire pool was so muddy that nothing could be seen clearly.
Lu Sheng pointed again. Golden threads that looked like tree roots suddenly flew out of the formation diagram in front of him and surrounded him. From afar, it looked like a ball of golden threads.
This was the Thousand Sun Sect's orthodox way of fighting. Using the Pure Gold True Qi and precious formation diagrams, the offensive formation attacked, the defensive formation defended, and the scouting formation supplemented it.
Lu Sheng pointed again. Instantly, streaks of Yin undercurrents shot out from the golden ball of threads beside him. They floated in the air for dozens of meters around him, inspecting everything.
"Bam!"
Suddenly, there was a huge sound from the formation diagram. One of Xuan Mist's dragon tails slammed into the surface of the formation diagram. Lu Sheng could clearly feel the Pure Gold True Qi quickly dissipating. It was obvious that it had used up a lot of it.
"Desolate Ghost Sword." Lu Sheng quickly formed a seal with both hands.
The formation diagram in front of him suddenly exploded and split into five pieces. In the center of the five pieces, an exquisite golden sword slowly formed. Large amounts of the Pure Gold True Qi released by Lu Sheng quickly gathered and spun rapidly in the pool in front of Lu Sheng.
A series of crisp bird cries rang out from the sword.
"Chasing Sun Sword Art, Thunder." Lu Sheng pressed his palm on the sword hilt.
Suddenly, the sword shone with a golden light and disappeared with a whoosh.
Then came the sounds of intense fighting from the pool in the distance. The golden sword kept clashing with the dragon scales, tail, and horns, creating loud noises.
Every loud noise consumed a huge amount of energy reserves on both sides.
Lu Sheng didn't mind. His body was now complete, and his Devil Body was Mixed Prime. Just breathing in and out Essence Qi could support this little consumption. If they kept fighting like this, it wouldn't be a problem for them to be in a stalemate for a few years.
"Chasing Sun Sword Art, Mingdu." Seeing that one Pure Gold Tranquil Sword couldn't take down the green dragon Xuan Mist, he formed a second golden sword and let it fight with Xuan Mist.
This time, Xuan Mist couldn't take it anymore.
Lu Sheng used the pure power of the Thousand Sun Sect's main cultivation method, and the essence of this power was the special ability of the Wei River Sword bloodline at his waist.
The core of the Pure Gold True Qi was the special power of the Wei River Sword. Any power actually relied on Divine Weapons and Devil Blades, or related bloodlines, or fragments.
It was the same for Lu Sheng.
The Wei River Sword was only a low-level Divine Weapon, but after being surrounded by the Pure Gold True Qi, its power reached the level of a Divine Weapon Master.
If word of this got out, it would probably blind a lot of people in the Thousand Sun Sect.
