Chapter 460: Chapter 220 Li Tianqing’s Letter

Always, the lord of Wuwang City sought ways of rushing from the underworld to retrieve the pen tip, but the journey was perilous with spectral beings scattered everywhere. The ghosts he dispatched were usually killed en route.

These ghosts weren’t strong; even if they reached the vicinity of the pen tip, they couldn’t get close.

In Wuwang City, he was the only true master, but he couldn’t leave Wuwang City by far.

He had once asked the experts from the mortal world to search for the pen tip, but it was more often disastrous than not. Even if some survived and returned, they were still too far from the pen tip and had to turn back.

Moreover, the returning experts, due to the severe erosion of the yin energy from the underworld, often died within a few years.

This time, he invited Chen Shi to act, believing that with Chen Shi’s Corpse Disintegration Immortal body, he should be immune to the yin energy, and might succeed with some clever maneuvering plus a massive deployment of ghosts from Wuwang City for cover.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shi proposed to start from the mortal world!

This way, the journey would be less dangerous, greatly increasing the chances of survival.

"There are still two problems, though."

The lord of Wuwang City said, "First is, how does the geography of the mortal world correspond to that of the underworld? I have traveled too little to determine the exact geographical map."

Chen Shi laughed, "That might be a problem for you, but it’s not a big deal for Granny Sha."

After receiving the Sheep Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp, Granny Sha had used it to extensively search the underworld, dividing it into nine zones. She could likely determine the underworld location of the Judge Dragon Whisker Pen’s counterparts in the mortal world using its position.

"The other issue, how will you enter the underworld?"

The lord of Wuwang City said, "If you leave through Wuwang City, you can directly reach the underworld, and bring your physical body along. With your physical body, your strength will greatly increase, enhancing your odds of preserving your life. In other places, it’s impossible to descend into the underworld with the physical body."

Chen Shi laughed, "Granny Sha can resolve this matter too. My lord, you needn’t worry about this, just wait for my news."

The lord of Wuwang City looked at him deeply, smiled and said, "Since True King is so confident, I will wait here for the victorious return of True King."

He handed the long spear in his hand to Chen Shi, saying, "True King, take this spear. This spear and the pen tip are of one body, powerful and majestic, it will ensure your safety. Should you encounter the Dragon Whisker Pen, you might be able to subdue it with it."

Chen Shi stood up and grasped the long spear.

The shaft was made of bamboo, soaked in the Qi-Blood of the underworld judge and had been refined by the lord of Wuwang City for many years, turning it jade-like throughout.

The spear was four meters long, and it felt substantial even when held with one hand.

He gripped the butt of the spear and raised it horizontally with one hand.

The spear tip, the shaft, and the butt line up perfectly straight.

Holding the spear with both hands, covering the butt, he shook his waist and the body of the spear vibrated like a dragon, the flexibility driving the tip to rotate vigorously.

"What a fine spear."

Chen Shi praised, examining it closely only to notice that the spear seemed inscribed with natural ghostly scriptures of the underworld, and looking at them, the characters twisted and transformed. If he shifted his gaze away, they would stop moving.

Apart from the ghostly writings of the underworld, there were also mortal world talismans imprinted on it, likely the work of the lord of Wuwang City.

Chen Shi meticulously checked these mortal world talismans. They weren’t top-tier talismans, only ordinary, and the mastery of talisman painting wasn’t very high.

The background and status of the lord of Wuwang City were relatively low; he had never had access to top-tier talismans. Later, by chance, he became the lord and, living remotely, couldn’t go out to seek more Cultivation Techniques and talismans. The talismans he acquired were usually brought to Wuwang City by cultivators from the mortal world.

Despite the low mastery in the embedded talismans, the power contained in the long spear was terrifying!

The cultivation of the lord of Wuwang City was immensely profound; even simple talismans felt magically transformative.

His Cultivation Technique wasn’t a top-tier legacy either, but remarkably, with over a thousand years and a simple technique, he cultivated to unfathomable depths, which couldn’t help but make one marvel at the mystery of fate.

"I have named this spear ’Wuwang,’" the lord of Wuwang City stated, "It can sever good from evil, determine life and death."

Chen Shi was someone who would use any weapon at his disposal, but the Wuwang Spear was still too long, not fitting him well. He said, "This spear is too big. My lord, do you have any shorter weapons, like swords or daggers?" frёeωebɳovel.com

The lord of Wuwang City laughed, "This spear is not too large. True King can place the Wuwang Spear on this altar, light an incense, and make a sacrificial offering, then you will understand the reason."

Following his advice, Chen Shi placed the Wuwang Spear on the altar and lit an incense stick, placing it in the small cauldron in front.

The Qi of the incense floated toward the spear, as if there was a spirit in the spear absorbing the incense.

Chen Shi gradually felt as if his soul were connected to the spear.

This sensation, along with the burning of the incense, became clearer and more intense.

"Now, True King, hold this spear and think," instructed the lord of Wuwang City.

Chen Shi clutched the Wuwang Spear and thought, "Smaller."

Indeed, the Wuwang Spear shrank.

Chen Shi thought of the bamboo sticks used for flying swords, and the Wuwang Spear transformed into a length of one or two feet, circling around him.

Chen Shi reached out and grasped the Wuwang, and the spear transformed back into a length of four to five meters.

Holding the spear, Chen Shi ran, the spear tip slanted toward the ground, charging out of the pavilion, and with a leap, mid-air, he shouted, "Larger!"

The Wuwang Spear roared and expanded, stretching out from his hands, the tip embedding into the ground, growing to a thickness of one meter and a length of over thirty meters!

However, as Chen Shi wanted it to grow even larger, the Wuwang Spear remained still, evidently reaching the limit of this Magical Treasure at over thirty meters.

Standing atop the Wuwang Spear and looking down, Wuwang City was right beneath his feet, a sight that was refreshing and uplifting.

With a slight thought, the Wuwang Spear began to shrink, gradually returning to a length of one foot.
