Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 879 - 808: Golden Body Treasure Sword

He inspected every part of the treasure sword, and finally discovered two small characters at the end of the hilt."Golden Body!"

Upon seeing these two characters, his eyes flickered; he knew that the two characters, Xuanzhen, likely indicated that the owner of this treasure sword was the Immortal Xuanzhen Venerable of the Immortal Domain.

If the owner of this sword was indeed Immortal Xuanzhen, then the name of this treasure sword should be the Golden Body Treasure Sword.

However, the words "Golden Body" puzzled him, leaving him unable to fathom their meaning.

He carefully examined the twenty-eight divine runes inside, finding that most of them showed no signs of glowing or heating.

If the divine runes inside a divine weapon did not glow or heat, it indicated that the divine runes could not be activated or there was some malfunction present.

Duan Gujin's Divine Sense entered the divine runes to meticulously examine the divine pattern heavenly array within.

After quite a while, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turns out that the gold attribute energy in this divine pattern heavenly array is insufficient, preventing the array from functioning! The divine pattern heavenly array in this sword is too complex for me to comprehend at the moment. I'll wait until I find enough gold attribute power! For now, I'll just consider it the Golden Body Treasure Sword; it is likely a sword with an internal defensive divine pattern heavenly array!"

Duan Gujin thought to himself.

Generally, the name of a treasure sword often reflects the attribute power of the sword.

The sword in his hand required a lot of gold attribute power to activate the divine pattern heavenly array inside, thus the name of the sword often includes the character "gold."

"Swish!"

Under his spirit binding, the Golden Body Treasure Sword flew around in the air, with the sword's body rubbing against the air, producing a whooshing sound.

With a thought, he sent the Golden Body Treasure Sword speeding forward, to see how far the sword could maintain a connection with his mind.

Generally, only higher-quality Dark Weapons can fly further and still maintain a mental connection with their master.

Whoosh!

The Golden Body Treasure Sword, under his control, rushed forward at extreme speed, trailing a long sword light in the void, bursting out sharp sonic booms.

Duan Gujin furrowed his brows, and moments later, he estimated that the Golden Body Treasure Sword had flown out ten kilometers.

At this point, he could still accurately control the flight of the Golden Body Treasure Sword.

But once the Golden Body Treasure Sword exceeded a distance of ten kilometers, it began to slow down, like an old and frail elder.

Duan Gujin immediately understood that the maximum distance at which he could control the Golden Body Treasure Sword was ten kilometers. Once it exceeded this range, the sword would become difficult to control.

He exhaled a breath, rehearsed several more times, and finally set the maximum distance of the Golden Body Treasure Sword at ten kilometers.

Once the Golden Body Treasure Sword exceeded that range, he had to immediately retrieve it.

After a while, he retrieved the Golden Body Treasure Sword.

"This Golden Body Treasure Sword is crafted from divine level refining materials, with the Star Swirl Divine Crystal Stone as the main material, supplemented by the Nine Nether Talisman Stone in its forging!"

His Divine Sense probed within the Golden Body Treasure Sword for a while and concluded that he now possessed a flawless grade treasure sword.

"Unexpectedly, I was able to obtain a flawless grade treasure sword!"

His eyes flickered; he recalled how Zhou Xin hadn't summoned back the sword when he snatched it, surmising it was because Zhou Xin did not know how to perform the Blood Recognition with the Golden Body Treasure Sword.

On second thought, even if Zhou Xin knew the Blood Recognition, he likely wouldn't allow the sword to recognize him as the master.

Generally, some advanced divine weapons often have a repelling divine rune hidden in the sword's Blood Recognition divine rune.

If any Devil Clan or Demon Clan attempts to claim the divine weapon, the repelling divine rune automatically repels the Blood Recognition attempt, preventing them from claiming it.

He carefully compared the three treasures he currently possessed: the Ultimate Thunder Hammer, the Fire Control Heavenly Divine Order, and the Golden Body Treasure Sword.

Though the first two treasures had considerable combat power, they could not perform well in certain special environments, for instance, they couldn't be wielded underwater.

While the Golden Body Treasure Sword lacked the unique attribute power of the first two Dark Weapons, it could be used in most scenarios.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath and couldn't help but feel that Zhou Xin was indeed his lucky star.

A sudden thought crossed his mind; he was very curious about where Zhou Xin found the Golden Body Treasure Sword.

"Right now, Zhou Xin must be furious. I shouldn't risk trying to blend in now; I should wait a while and then see if I can find an opportunity to sneak in!"

His eyes flashed, and he immediately returned to his residence to convene with Qing Lian and Zhan Huantai.

From Zhan Huantai, he learned that after he left, the sea demons had retreated.

Qing Lian learned from Duan Gujin that he had acquired the Golden Body Treasure Sword.

Duan Gujin showed the Golden Body Treasure Sword to Qing Lian, to see if she could determine its origin.

Qing Lian, with her Divine Sense keenly examining the Golden Body Treasure Sword, nodded slightly after a while.

"This is indeed a genuine divine weapon, with exceptional forging craftsmanship. Moreover, there are twenty-eight divine runes inside. To unlock the mysteries within this sword, you must infuse it with sufficient gold attribute energy!"

Qing Lian said.

"Alright!"

Duan Gujin replied.

"I can't definitively say whether this Golden Body Treasure Sword is the sword of Immortal Xuanzhen or not!"

Qing Lian finally said.

"Oh!"

Duan Gujin knew that in her previous life, Qing Lian had not seen Immortal Xuanzhen either, so it was reasonable that she couldn't determine whether the Golden Body Treasure Sword in her hand belonged to Immortal Xuanzhen.

To them, Immortal Xuanzhen was a lofty overlord of a realm in the Immortal Domain, while they were just insignificant nobodies.

"Even if this Golden Body Treasure Sword has nothing to do with Immortal Xuanzhen, it is undoubtedly a genuine Divine Weapon!"

Duan Gujin exhaled a breath, planning to observe the developments in the coming days and see how the Taihuang Immortal Sect and the sea demons would act.

He would only take action once they made their move.

Returning to the Taihuang Immortal Sect, Zhan Changsheng immediately gathered a group of elders to inform them of the previous events, seeking their advice.

He was very aware that their battle against the sea demons contained many uncertainties, and those three Martial Saints were elusive, with unclear intentions.

"What exactly do those three Martial Saints want to do?"

Zhan Changsheng pondered for a long time but couldn't come to any conclusion.

He felt that those three Martial Saints were opposing them at every turn and seemed to be targeting him directly.

"Do you think those sea demons were brought here by those three Martial Saints, intending to have us and the sea demons fight each other so they can reap the benefits?"

During the meeting, one elder speculated.

"Yes, that's very possible!"

Upon hearing this, the other elders considered it for a moment and felt it was the most likely scenario.

Zhan Changsheng had thought about this possibility before, but he couldn't understand why the sea demons would repeatedly attack them.

But if the hatred the sea demons had toward the Human Clan was caused by those three Martial Saints, then their intentions were clear as day.

Those three Martial Saints intended to incite a battle between the sea demons and the Taihuang Immortal Sect, allowing the two sides to kill each other so they could benefit.

"It seems I need to infiltrate the sea demons to uncover the truth!"

Zhan Changsheng's eyes flickered with determination as he made up his mind. After dismissing the elders, he quickly headed to the seashore, diving into the ocean depths.

There, he used a Transformation Technique to blend in seamlessly with the ordinary sea demons and infiltrated their ranks.

He captured some isolated sea demons and subjected them to severe interrogation.

After substantial questioning, he finally unraveled the whole situation.

"It turns out the Defensive Magic Array at the Ancient God Ruins wasn't broken by the sea demons! This means it was most likely those three Martial Artists who broke it! Previously, the place we found full of graves also blocked the sea demons; they never entered to find any Treasure! And they witnessed Martial Artists emerge from there, causing them to conclude that it was people from the Taihuang Immortal Sect who obtained the treasure!"

He inhaled sharply, realizing that continuous warfare between the sea demons and the Taihuang Immortal Sect was now inevitable.

"So, those three Martial Saint experts aimed to provoke a battle between the Human Clan and the sea demons!"

Understanding the intentions of those three Martial Saint experts made Zhan Changsheng break out in a cold sweat.

He immediately returned to the Human Clan's city, but this time, he didn't summon all the elders. Instead, he gathered a few trusted confidants to deliberate.

Upon learning the events' ins and outs, those confidants' faces changed dramatically, accusing Duan Gujin and the other two Martial Saints of harboring ill intentions.

As for how to resolve the situation, the confidants had varying opinions, but none could come up with a good solution.

To make the sea demons abandon their attacks on the Human Clan's city, they would demand the surrender of the Ancestors' Treasure.

But in truth, they hadn't found any Treasure inside the Ancient God Ruins.

They speculated that even if they disclosed the truth to the sea demons, the sea demons likely wouldn't believe them.

The real culprits were those three Martial Saints, but until now, they had no intelligence on them. All they knew was that those three Martial Saints' strength surpassed ordinary Martial Saint experts, yet clearly hadn't reached the Shattering Void Realm.

Within the Taihuang Immortal Sect, possibly only five experts of the Shattering Void Realm could suppress those three Martial Saint experts.

Reflecting on this, Zhan Changsheng and his confidants felt overwhelmed.

Despite brainstorming for a long time, they couldn't devise a plan to deal with Duan Gujin and the other two Martial Saints.

After much deliberation, Zhan Changsheng decided to offer a hefty reward for assassins worldwide to either kill or capture Duan Gujin and the other two experts of the Martial Saint Realm.

"Yes, I know two assassins at the Fifth Level of the Martial Saint Realm. Their methods are impeccable; even if they can't kill those three Martial Saints, they can at least severely injure them, deterring further insolence!"

Zhan Changsheng took a deep breath, dismissing the other confidants but retaining one whom he fully trusted to contact two famous assassins from the Yuanzhen Continent.

He spent thirty million Yuanzhen gold coins to hire those two assassins.

He wanted the lives of Duan Gujin and the other two Martial Saints, valuing each of their lives at ten million Yuanzhen gold coins.
