Atop the Wind Commanding Shuttle.

Huang Xuanji and Wei Chi Juan had become completely stupefied.

Just moments ago, when the formidable enemy appeared, they had braced themselves for a deadly battle.

But in the blink of an eye, the enemy had been beheaded, and everything had changed so quickly that their thoughts couldn’t even catch up.

On the contrary, Huang Xuanji, with reddened eyes, suddenly bellowed, "Senior Brother... we have avenged you!"

Wei Chi Juan lowered his voice, "Huang has had a very close relationship with that previous Senior Brother; he had received much guidance from him..."

"So that’s the case."

Zhong Shenxiu clasped his hands inside his long sleeves and suddenly looked past his shoulder into the clouds.

...

In the midst of the clouds, the two hiding individuals suddenly felt a chilling fright and almost had the illusion of being completely exposed.

"Senior Brother Tong..."

Luo Jiu Zhen’s silver teeth trembled slightly, "Was that person just now... really the ’Little Demon Dragon’ Xue Mang?"

"Of course it was him!"

Tong Bao’s expression was extremely grave, and there seemed to be a hint of envy in his eyes, "Sword Qi and Thunder Sound, sword light separation... To think that this Su has also cultivated the sword and even mastered such a peerless swordsmanship!"

He thought introspectively that even if he had managed to refine the Seven Evils Sword, perhaps he could have fought Xue Mang for hundreds of rounds, but whether he could slay the great foe was unpredictable, with the chances of victory no better than fifty-fifty.

But now, upon witnessing Su Daoshi’s swordsmanship and divine power, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.

Tong Bao sighed dispiritedly, "I have underestimated the heroes of the world. The Sect has been peaceful for too long, and I had forgotten what a true bloody and ruthless battlefield looked like. This Su hasn’t even resorted to using the Nine Pure Immortal Light Protection Divine Power yet managed to slay Xue Mang. Previously, he overcame the Heart Thief, obviously not by luck. We should not go forward and invite humiliation upon ourselves."

"Then what do we do, just give up on the Heart Thief’s Divine Power Talisman?"

Luo Jiu Zhen bit her cherry lips, extremely reluctant.

"Sword Cultivators are resolute and unyielding; perhaps if you kindly ask, there might be a slim chance of success. Anyway, I’m not getting involved..."

Tong Bao, having witnessed the previous slash, seemed to have become disillusioned and disinterested.

As if... his spirit had been shattered by a single sword strike from Zhong Shenxiu.

However, Luo Jiu Zhen was not a Sword Cultivator, and she stamped her foot, "If I can obtain one supreme artifact, not only will I stand out in this battle between good and evil, but I may also gain status within the Sect. This slight difference could determine whether or not I can achieve Core Formation in the future; I cannot afford to compromise."

"If you’re unwilling to help me, Senior Brother Tong, then I can only go directly to seek help from Senior Brother Zhong Wu."

No sooner had she spoken, than she turned into a ray of light and quickly left.

...

Since the slaying of the Little Demon Dragon, Zhong Shenxiu’s team had not encountered a second practitioner of the Demon Path.

After completing their mission, they returned peacefully to the Dragon Tiger Blessed Land, where naturally Wei Chi Juan presented proof to claim their merit.

Zhong Shenxiu went straight to find Sima Shu, exchanged a bunch of refining materials, and continued to return to his hermitage to meditate.

In the quiet room.

Nine fire dragons coiled in front of Zhong Shenxiu, each spewing fierce flames, melting special materials into solutions.

If other Artifact Refiners saw his methods, they would be dumbstruck.

For at that moment, Zhong Shenxiu was using a ninefold-divided consciousness, simultaneously handling nine types of spiritual materials.

This peak-level craftsmanship could only be matched by an Artifact Refining Master.

"Nine-orifice Exquisite Heart!"

Moments later, Zhong Shenxiu took out the most crucial material, a stone heart with nine holes on its surface, seemingly still faintly breathing.

Such a rare treasure from heaven and earth, given billions of years, might swell into a boulder, birthing some unique life forms.

But now, it was merely an embryo, greatly diminishing its value.

With a wave of his hand, nine fire dragons, carrying various refined spiritual material liquids, merged into the orifices of the Nine-orifice Exquisite Heart.

Thump thump!

Thump thump!

The Nine-orifice Exquisite Heart seemed to come to life, beginning to expand and beat, radiating vigorous vitality.

The next moment, Zhong Shenxiu’s expression became serious as he pinched out a spell.

Behind his head, an external pill appeared, enveloped in clouds and mist, changing unpredictably, and suddenly a Divine Power Talisman spat out.

First-class—Soul Suppressing Divine Power!

This Divine Power talisman took the form of inexplicable threads, winding around the Nine-orifice Exquisite Heart, calming the naturally treasured object instantly.

Zhong Shenxiu’s expression grew even more solemn as he continued to extract his most valued Heart Demon Possession Divine Ability and slowly infused it into the interior of the Nine-orifice Exquisite Heart.

Crack!

Suddenly, the semi-finished object became unstable, and a crack surfaced on its exterior.

Zhong Shenxiu’s expression remained unchanged; he only sighed, "Indeed... The Heart Demon Possession Great Divine Power becoming first-class was entirely due to a fortuitous coincidence. Otherwise, the Heart Demon Secret Tome of the Evil Dao would have become famous long ago... To cultivate this Divine Power to completion requires that strange constitution of a Heart Thief..."

"To completely refine this Divine Power into a magic treasure is exceptionally challenging; even ordinary Artifact Refining Masters fail ten out of ten times..."

"Even with my Grandmaster level in the Path of Artifact Refining, I can only fall back to the next best thing, unable to transform myriad forms, to seize the cultivation of others... I can only refine it into a one-time magic treasure now."

Thinking this, his hand gestures changed continuously, entering the most critical stage of treasure refining.

...

Outside the cultivation dwelling.

Wei Chi Juan and Huang Xuanji were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea, when they suddenly saw a streak of escape light fall down, revealing two people within it.

One of them was dressed in a Dragon and Tiger Daoist Robe, wearing a Five Mountains Seven Stars Crown, his face like fine jade, his eyes like lacquered dots, his demeanor stately.

Beside him followed a Female Practitioner, none other than Luo Jiu Zhen.

"Senior Brother Zhong Wu, we greet you."

Wei Chi Juan and Huang Xuanji’s expressions changed, and they promptly stood up to welcome him.

Although they were all disciples of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, the gap between True Disciples and ordinary disciples was as vast as a chasm.

After all, even Inner Sect Disciples had no certainty of achieving the Primordial Pill.

But after refining a first-class Divine Power and being listed as a True Inheritor, the likelihood of achieving the Primordial Pill greatly increased, essentially qualifying one as a Grandmaster in the making.

Moreover, as a True Disciple of the enforcement lineage, Zhong Wu was now in charge of the disciplinary affairs of the Dragon Tiger Blessed Land’s disciples.

In terms of power, he was only second to the two Primordial Pill Masters, not even Sima Shu could compare.

"Where’s Su Daoshi? Why hasn’t he come out to meet me yet?"

Luo Jiu Zhen, seeing Senior Brother Zhong Wu’s indifferent expression, took it upon herself to step forward, "Su Daoshi is putting on quite the airs. Senior Brother Zhong Wu is here in person, and he doesn’t come out to greet you?"

"Please forgive us, Senior Brother."

Wei Chi Juan’s face showed difficulty, "The team leader is currently in seclusion for Artifact Refining and instructed us not to disturb him."

"What?"

Luo Jiu Zhen’s expression changed.

She had not expected Su Daoshi to truly be refining on his own.

What if something went wrong? What about her magic treasure?

With that person’s lowly skills, odds were he would ruin it.

With this thought, Luo Jiu Zhen hurriedly rushed towards the quiet room where Zhong Shenxiu was in seclusion, "Su Daoshi... The True Inheritor has arrived, won’t you quickly come out of seclusion to greet him?!"
