The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1256

Chapter 1256: Chapter 1253: Assembly Chapter 1256: Chapter 1253: Assembly Upon hearing what the Little Master had to say, Shen Luo couldn't help but be stunned.

One must know that when he had previously integrated the Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood into the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, it had taken him a great deal of effort and several days to succeed. The Little Master had merely done it casually in less than half an hour, completing the refinement of the two Magical Treasures. The disparity was just too significant.

He shook his head and stopped thinking too deeply about it, turning his attention to the two light groups in his hands, which contained the Profound Yellow Staff and the Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing. The Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing had turned into a water-blue color, like a layer of blue gauze, faint and ethereal, as if it could melt into the void and disappear at any moment.

Shen Luo picked up the robe and started refining it with the Innate Treasure-refining Technique. His Mana penetrated smoothly into each layer of seals, and the previously arduous feeling of offering sacrifices was no longer present.

This Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing had as many as forty-nine layers of seals within it, reaching the level of a high-grade Magical Treasure. Besides the stealth and hidden breath techniques he had already figured out, there was a third God's Power, which was also the most core ability of this Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing: Dodge.

Moreover, this Dodge ability was far more exquisite than the previous two, but this was not a good place to try it out.

With a wave of his hand, Shen Luo put away the Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing and continued to refine it with his Mana, then turned his gaze to the Profound Yellow Staff.

The appearance of the Profound Yellow Staff hadn't much changed from before, its surface no longer bore any cuts, replaced by nine black Spirit Patterns. The entire staff emanated a black sheen from inside out, giving one a sense of invincibility.

The aura surrounding the Profound Yellow Staff also underwent an earth-shaking change. The void within dozens of feet was enveloped by an extremely heavy breath, causing the ground to tremble slightly, as if unable to withstand the might of the staff.

Shen Luo reached out and grabbed the icy staff. The golden light on the Profound Yellow Staff instantly receded like a whale sucking water, and the heavy breath also retracted.

His expression showing intrigue, Shen Luo felt an inexplicable connection with the Profound Yellow Staff in his hand, as if it were merged with his own body. Was it because the staff had originally been refined by him, or was the Little Master's artifact refining technique too exquisite?

Exerting his strength into the staff, the skyward golden light burst forth anew, revealing a series of faintly visible gold patterns, adding up to forty-eight layers–pushing it to the limit of a mid-grade Magical Treasure.

Yet, his eyebrows furrowed slightly because, by his estimates, having merged so much Nine-turn Steel, the Profound Yellow Staff should have reached the high-grade Magical Treasure level.

“Your staff contains Xuan Turtle Plank, Spirit Solar Iron, and Nine-turn Steel, three extraordinary materials. In terms of quality, it far surpasses that of ordinary high-grade Magical Treasures. However, the staff was modeled after the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, its sharpness all too evident, greatly exacerbating the conflicts between those three materials, especially the clash of Spiritual Power between Spirit Solar Iron and Nine-turn Steel. Without the Nine Heavens Gold Essence to balance the Spiritual Power between them, hastily increasing the layers of seals on the Magical Treasure would be harmful rather than beneficial,” the Little Master apparently perceiving Shen Luo's confusion, explained.

“So it is, thank you for your guidance, City Lord,” Shen Luo said, enlightened, as he put away the Profound Yellow Staff and gave a bow to the Little Master.

The Little Master swept his sleeve and put away the Heaven-sent Divine Furnace, then closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to Shen Luo, as if in deep thought.

Although Shen Luo was eager to ask the Little Master to examine the broken jade pillow, the Little Master seemed preoccupied, so he didn't disturb him, silently refining the increased seals within the two treasures.

The great hall gradually quieted down.

In a secret room within Qianjin Tower of the Tianji City Undercity, a black stone pillar stood quietly. At the top of the pillar was a bizarrely burning black candle.

On the candle was a strange black flame in the shape of a human head, emitting a black light that enveloped the entire room in an eerie darkness. No sound from outside could penetrate, nor could any breath within the room leak out, as if it was cut off from the world.

At this moment, a figure hurried along the corridor outside the room, none other than the master of Qianjin Tower, Fang Rui, his eyes betraying an irrepressible joy as he quickly approached the door.

Fang Rui adjusted his breathing slightly, and his expression returned to calm as he pushed open the door and entered, then closed the door behind him.

Everything outside was isolated, and the room was submerged in tranquility.

Fang Rui walked over to the stone pillar, cut open his own finger, and dropped a speck of fresh blood into the candle flame.

The flame, which resembled a human head, surged in size, its eyes igniting with two bizarre blood lights, making it seem as though it had suddenly come to life.

“Master, spies from the Upper City have sent a message that Tianji City has learned of Ghost Yan's whereabouts and is planning to send people to pursue and eliminate him,” Fang Rui bowed deeply to the flame and then spoke softly.

“Heh, they finally noticed? It wasn't in vain that I went to great lengths to lead Shen Luo and Fu Donglai to Puppet City,” the flame laughed coldly.

“Master is without equals in cunning, this time we will certainly be able to use the strength of Tianji City to achieve our goal smoothly,” Fang Rui flattered.

“What you should be doing is continuing to monitor Tianji City's movements, find out exactly who they are sending, instead of offering such meaningless flattery!” the flame snapped coldly.

“Yes, subordinate understands and will investigate at once,” Fang Rui's expression changed slightly as he bowed in agreement.

“You must be cautious with your actions at all times, the Observing Heaven Mirror of Tianji City is not to be underestimated. To have you sent into Tianji City and rise to your current position cost us how much effort and resources, remember that your life is not your own, it belongs to Demon Ancestor Lord!” the flame continued in a chilling voice.

“Yes.” Fang Rui trembled at the mention of the Demon Ancestor's name, bowing even lower.

The red light in the flame's eyes vanished in a flash, returning to its original state.

Only then did Fang Rui stand up straight, wiped the sweat from his forehead, adjusted his state, and turned to walk back.

Half an hour quickly passed, and the Nameless Elder and the others returned to the great hall. Aside from the four of them, there were quite a few disciples of Tianji City, numbering around twenty or thirty, with the least advanced among them being at the Late Nascent Soul Stage, and cultivators at the Great Mahayana Stage were found in abundance.

Among them were Master Yan, Lin Han, and Zhou Ming, whom Shen Luo had already met, except for some reason, Master Yan looked pale and uneven in his breath, as if he were injured.

It seemed all three of them already knew Shen Luo was here, as their expressions did not show any surprise upon seeing him.

“City Lord, everything is ready, we can depart at any time,” the Nameless Elder spoke.

“Good, I will trouble you, Nameless Elder, to remain and oversee Tianji City,” Little Master stood up abruptly and said.

Since the Nameless Elder had movement difficulties and usually managed Tianji City, he had no objections to the Little Master's decision and nodded his head.

Little Master, accompanied by Shen Luo, stepped outside the hall, and upon seeing the Little Master, Master Yan and the others hurriedly paid their respects.

“Dispense with the formalities. I assume you're all clear on the purpose of this trip. The Elder Assembly has obtained Ghost Yan's location. This traitor has betrayed Tianji City and even stolen many treasured items. This time, we must kill this traitor at all costs and retrieve those treasures!” Little Master said in a solemn voice.

“Yes!” Master Yan and the others responded in unison.
