Chapter 178: Chapter 136: Success! [Added for Alliance Hierarch with the last digits 66566.]

Both of them exerted force simultaneously.

Their respective sword energies simultaneously surged, and at the moment the two blades clashed, they rolled towards each other like a tide through the blades.

A loud sound echoed.

Fang Che was the first to retreat, taking advantage of the opposing force to step back two steps. On the second step, his right foot was behind, heel on the ground, left foot in front, pushing off with a swoosh, leaping three zhang into the air, flipping in mid-air, and regaining his balance after being attacked.

With a slash of his sword, the dragon flew in the sky.

The Flying Heaven Saber Technique unfolded immediately.

Even though it was just one strike, the man in white grunted in surprise.

His initial strike had come first, before the opponent had even drawn his blade. Yet, he had blocked it, retreated with the momentum, and utilized the rebound to launch a sword form.

This kid’s battle experience is extraordinary.

He then stepped forward, executing the Fire Raising Sky Technique.

The blade rose towards the sky.

But the force was internal, directed downward.

The sword light unfolded like water, and as it did, it poured down.

As Fang Che’s blade descended, he immediately felt the opponent’s force pulling him down. His waist twisted in mid-air, and as his blade descended along with it, he knocked the hilt against his hip, instantly recovering his energy. The sword light whirled, creating an opening in the opponent’s sword energy, then following up with a strike to the Zhong Palace!

The man in white again exclaimed in surprise, redirecting his blade to the side.

This time, his force was slightly too strong.

With a bang, he knocked Fang Che a zhang away.

He couldn’t help but worry, could this kid be injured?

Yet, Fang Che borrowed the opponent’s force without resistance, lightly retreating a zhang, swirling his long blade in mid-air, cutting off the force’s traction, and with the sword tip bouncing off the ground, he landed steadily.

The sword tip still pointed forward.

The elbow was bent.

Evidently, he had adjusted his posture in the air, unafraid of the opponent’s attack, ready to strike at any time.

However, the man in white did not attack again.

With a light sound, he sheathed his sword, and Fang Che noticed that as the sword returned to its sheath, it let out a dragon-like sword hum.

Moreover, it was imbued with emotion.

A sense of unwillingness to return.

The sword in the opponent’s hand was actually a divine weapon with complete spirituality!

Fang Che’s heart trembled.

Who was this person?

The man in white’s eyes sparkled as he looked Fang Che up and down as if admiring a treasure: "Kid, where did you learn this blade technique?"

When the opponent continuously struck, Fang Che had already noticed.

The opponent’s blade technique was unique, a flawless blade.

He had comprehended his own path of the blade.

Yet, it was not his cultivation of the Infinite Scripture blade form.

"My master is the Flying Sky Saber King Sun Yuan. Are you scared?" Fang Che took a deep breath.

The man in white scoffed through his nose, saying, "Nonsense!"

He then pondered over Fang Che’s posture, a thoughtful look in his eyes, "Not bad."

Fang Che was puzzled, "What’s not bad?"

The man in white said no more, simply stating, "Someone asked me to give you something. Catch it."

As he said this, he raised his hand, and a long object flew over.

Fang Che blocked with his sword, not catching it with his hand.

The long object hit the ground with a thud, creating a crater.

It turned out to be a piece of dark purple metal.

The man in white said, "Little guy, you’re cautious. This is the divine attribute metal you need."

Fang Che was taken aback, "You are?"

The man in white snorted, "Be careful not to get slaughtered. Strive to reach Monarch Level before I come to find you again. This metal, you better forge a blade with it."

With that, he gave Fang Che a deep glance.

He took a step back.

Fang Che suddenly felt a strange feeling: that one step back seemed to withdraw completely from his world!

One step out of the world!

Immediately, the entire world shattered with the opponent’s retreat.

He even saw the space fracture.

It was an incredibly bizarre feeling.

Then the scenery changed suddenly, and he saw the familiar streets and buildings on both sides once more.

The dense fog from before vanished abruptly.

The stars were shining, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

The world restored itself to its original state.

But there was no trace of the man in white before him.

"What... What on earth happened?"

Fang Che rubbed his head.

It felt like a dream.

Yet the divine attribute metal remained on the ground before him.

A testament to the reality of what had just occurred.

Recalling the extraordinary demeanor of the man in white, his divine transformation in blade technique, his meticulous control, and seeing the divine attribute metal Dongfang Sansan had promised him...

Fang Che couldn’t help but shiver, thinking, "Could the one who came just now be the top expert, Guardian Xue Fuxiao?"

He was instantly thrilled.

He had never met the top expert in his past life or this one.

This was his first idol.

Was it him?

He caressed the divine attribute metal in his hand with cherishment.

It was very heavy.

Its material was undiscernable.

About six feet long, as thick as a calf.

Fang Che understood at a glance that this divine attribute metal could meet the requirements for any sword, spear, saber, or halberd.

In fact, making a sword would even waste a lot.

The words of the man in white before leaving echoed in his mind, but Fang Che immediately dismissed them.

Make a blade?

How could it possibly be made into a blade!

As his first piece of divine attribute metal, it was naturally to be made into a spear!

He carried the divine attribute metal back, contemplating his future plans. Practicing the sword, spear, saber, and halberd was necessary, and divine weapons were also needed.

But not entirely to grow stronger, nor to aim to reach the peak in all four immediately.

Rather... this four-weapon compatibility offers the greatest opportunities to find new backing high above Yin Shen Palace in the Demon Sect!

Using the compatibility of these four weapons and his own genius to find new backing above Yin Shen Palace is something that must be prepared in advance.

...

Returning home.

He placed the divine attribute metal in the study and immediately went to the underground secret chamber.

Mu Lin Yuan’s complexion looked slightly better, no longer so pale. But his cultivation was far behind Dong Changfeng with the Jinshe Spear, so it wouldn’t be quick to wear down the spear intent.

Judging by the situation, at least twenty more days of recovery would be needed.

"How was it today?"

"Reached Second Grade."

"Not bad! Not bad!"

Mu Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "I can finally be a bit more at ease. Keep working on improving yourself. You must reach at least Fourth Grade before participating in the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan! There will be experts swarming within; even Fourth Grade might just be the bottom tier, you have to be careful."

"Yes. Have you eaten, Master Mu?"

"I have, your little girl here is quite diligent."

"That’s good."

After chatting for a while, seeing Mu Lin Yuan looking a bit tired, Fang Che stood up and said his farewells: "Master Mu, please rest well."

"Hmm, don’t bother coming to accompany me every day, wasting your cultivation time."

Mu Lin Yuan said.

Although he felt lonely in this secret chamber and couldn’t go out.

Fang Che’s daily visits made him feel warm, but also like he was holding back Yemo’s cultivation.

After all, in the future, there’s still...

So he quickly urged: "Go focus on your practice, off with you!"

"Okay."

Fang Che agreed, stepping out, and closed the secret chamber door.

Ensuring that while he merged with the divine attribute metal, Mu Lin Yuan would not suddenly come up, that was enough.

...

He went into the study.

Sitting cross-legged.

He placed the divine attribute metal horizontally on his legs.

Gathering his spirit, he maximized the development of his divine sense power.

Feeling his mind at its most lucid, attention most focused, and soul power at its strongest, he reached out to grasp the divine attribute metal.

Then injected all his soul power, wholeheartedly, into the divine attribute metal.

He was seeking the faint spirituality within the divine attribute metal.

Every piece of divine attribute metal possesses its own thread of spirituality.

This thread of spirituality can combine with a person’s divine soul, and after a long period of blending, familiarity can slowly change its shape according to human intention.

But after this change, it becomes inseparable from that person.

This is the true reason why generally when an expert falls, their weapon perishes with them.

Fang Che’s divine soul slowly entered the divine attribute metal.

The density of the divine attribute metal was extremely high, its weight extremely heavy. However, divine sense wandered within without much feeling of obstruction.

This is the greatest benefit of divine attribute metal: limitless accommodation.

It’s also the true reason divine attribute metal is different from all other metals in the world.

A weapon made from divine attribute metal may not necessarily be especially sharp, but it’s indestructible.

An ordinary Wind Steel Sword, sword qi extending six feet, is already its limit. Any more, and it would exceed the Wind Steel Sword’s tolerance. However, divine attribute metal can withstand sixty zhang, six hundred zhang sword light...

The difference is incomparable.

Fang Che’s divine sense power slowly wandered through the divine attribute metal.

He could feel a weak thought inside, desperately dodging.

Full of fear and terror.

Like a little elf wandering in boundless darkness.

Timid, helpless, fearful, alone.

Fang Che’s divine sense emitted a warm power, starting from one end, slowly encircling.

The little elf eventually had nowhere to retreat, nowhere to escape.

Curled up at one end of the divine attribute metal, trembling with fear.

It huddled in a small patch of darkness, looking hopelessly at the vast expanse of light and warmth approaching it.

Ultimately wrapping it up...

The little elf couldn’t help but express the ultimate helpless emotion.

But then... it felt boundless warmth.

Seemingly... this feeling is more comfortable than being isolated in darkness?

It couldn’t help but look forward with some longing.

Then it felt a warm power enveloping it, gradually even warming its heart.

"Little one, follow me from now on, you will never be alone again."

A divine sense consciousness wrapped it kindly and gently.

The little elf stopped struggling.

Any movement was futile.

It submissively nested in warmth, suddenly feeling thoroughly comfortable. Moreover, lonely for a millennia, now it found company, and the joy rushed like ocean waves.

It couldn’t help but bounce and dance in this warm divine sense, exploring and floating around, full of curiosity.

As if recognizing its home anew.

After a round of wandering, it returned, swirling around the coziest spot in the center.

Then went out again, and returned.

Finally.

It lay down in the warmest place, yawning and falling into a sweet sleep.

Fang Che finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Success!
