Liu Guanfeng walked through the cave, which was extremely dry inside. Occasionally, waves of heat rose from below. Fortunately, Liu Guanfeng was protected by Chaotic Qi, so he felt no discomfort.
As Liu Guanfeng continued deeper into the cave, he came across a staircase after walking about thirty meters. He proceeded down the stairs, unsure of where they would lead, but it only grew hotter as he descended. Even within the Chaos Shield, he could feel a hint of warmth.
Eventually, Liu Guanfeng arrived at a flat area, which turned out to be a massive cavern. In the center of the cave was a three-meter-wide path flanked by fiery red Magma that was constantly churning.
Standing at the entrance and looking deeper into the cavern, Liu Guanfeng saw another flat area beyond the passage. In this area stood a gigantic Iron Furnace, which had no fan; instead, it was replaced by an Exhauster.
Surrounding the Iron Furnace were several enormous Hammers of varying sizes, with even the lightest one weighing over a hundred pounds.
Behind the Iron Furnace was a platform on which rested a Fang Tian Hua Ji. On either side of the Fang Tian Hua Ji were iron halberds. To the left of the Fang Tian Hua Ji lay a set of armor, while to the right were sixteen Willow Leaf Flying Daggers.
Next to the Willow Leaf Flying Daggers was a Small Box with its lid closed, concealing its contents. As Liu Guanfeng gazed at the weapons and armor before him, he realized that these had been crafted for him by Xuanwu.
Despite being placed in such an intensely hot environment, all three weapons and the set of armor as well as the flying daggers emanated a white glow, indicating that the surrounding temperature had no influence on them.
After traversing the scorching path, Liu Guanfeng stood before the weapons and armor. He reached out to touch them and found that they did not emit heat; they were merely warm to the touch.
Liu Guanfeng then placed his hand on the box. Instead of warmth, it felt cool to his touch.
He cradled the box in his arms and gently opened its lid. Inside lay a letter on top and three small porcelain vials beneath it.
Among these vials, Liu Guanfeng recognized one; it was used by Zhuque to hold Nine-Turn Golden Elixir. Whenever Liu Guanfeng needed it, Zhuque would provide him with a few pills from this vial.
Liu Guanfeng took out two more bottles, each labeled with the words "Essence Liquid." He had no knowledge of what "Essence Liquid" was.
After putting the small bottles back in their original place, Liu Guanfeng directly stored the Small Box along with his weapons and armor. He was ready to go out and take a look, as he found it exhausting to keep the Chaos Shield active here. Once he finished packing, Liu Guanfeng turned and left the Magma Cavern.
He quickly retraced his steps back to the surface. After emerging from the cave, Liu Guanfeng found a stable spot to sit down.
Once everything was prepared, Liu Guanfeng took out the letter again. When he read the first line, he was stunned.
The first line of the letter read: "Xiaofeng, you have finally seen this letter. By the time you read this, I and your other three masters have already left this world."
Upon reading this, Liu Guanfeng lost all desire to continue reading, so he immediately recited a spell. Based on the energy fluctuations, Liu Guanfeng easily located an exit not far from the cave. With a powerful leap, he reached the exit in an instant and stepped out of the Demon Tomb.
As Liu Guanfeng exited the Demon Tomb, a Chimera stood before him. Without hesitation, Liu Guanfeng mounted the Chimera and said, "Take me back to the Four Sacred Valleys."
The Chimera pushed off with its legs and soared into the sky. Although Liu Guanfeng was already a powerful Divine Knight, he could not run as fast as the Chimera could fly. After flapping its wings twice, they arrived at the Four Sacred Valleys.
Liu Guanfeng jumped off the Chimera and shouted, "Azure Dragon Master, White Tiger Master, Vermilion Bird Master, Xuanwu Master! I’m back!" He ran while shouting, and when he pushed open Azure Dragon's door, he was stunned.
Inside Azure Dragon's room was an altar with spirit tablets and ashes of the Four Sacred Beasts.
Seeing the spirit tablets of the Four Sacred Beasts made Liu Guanfeng burst into tears; he knelt down on both knees. Crawling forward, he reached the spirit tablets of the Four Sacred Beasts.
At that moment, Cui Zhongyi and Qifeng Ge were guarding the spirit tablets. They were initially taken aback upon seeing Liu Guanfeng but quickly rose to help him up when they recognized him. However, Liu Guanfeng did not stand up; instead, he knelt before each master’s spirit tablet and bowed four times.
At this moment, Nangong Rong, Liu Yong'an, Li Xiaohan, Zhang Yuru, and others heard the sound and rushed over. Upon seeing Liu Guanfeng's actions, they could only stand there silently shedding tears. Even Zhang Yuru was deeply moved because he saw the bond between Liu Guanfeng and the Four Sacred Beasts through his actions.
The group stood at the entrance watching Liu Guanfeng until he calmed down. Only then did everyone enter the mourning hall, offering incense to the Four Sacred Beasts before spending some time with Liu Guanfeng.
To avoid disturbing the rest of the Four Sacred Beasts, Liu Guanfeng led everyone out of the mourning hall.
Seeing the child so emotionally affected, Liu Yong'an asked, "Xiaofeng, do you have any plans?"
"I plan to observe a hundred days of mourning for the Four Masters before making any further plans."
Liu Yong'an nodded, "That's fine. You can stay here in peace. We'll discuss everything after your mourning period."
"Thank you, Father." After greeting his mother, Li Xiaohan, and Zhang Yuru, Liu Guanfeng returned to his room. Inside, he took out a white cloth and simply wrapped himself in it to make a mourning robe and cap before returning to the mourning hall.
After offering more incense to the Four Sacred Beasts, Liu Guanfeng began to keep vigil. Once everything settled down, he took out the letter left for him by the Four Sacred Beasts from his Cosmic Bag and read it carefully.
The letter read: "Xiaofeng, you have finally seen this letter. By the time you read this, I and your other three masters will have left this world.
As your masters, we have nothing more to teach you. Our lifespans are coming to an end, so we left some things for you in the Demon Tomb that we hope will help you. The weapons and armor were crafted by Xuanwu over five years in the Magma Cavern.
The materials used for those weapons and armor are all from your Xuanwu Master’s lifetime savings. You just need to drop your blood on those weapons to activate them, and they will be incredibly effective.
The Cold Jade Box contains the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir and Essence Liquid. The liquid inside the Essence Liquid is made from our Four Sacred Beasts' life essence mixed with medicinal extracts; it is very beneficial for anyone below Divine Knight level. This Essence Liquid is also a chaotic liquid that can be used by people of any attribute; just one drop in a bathtub is sufficient."
Essence Liquid can only be used once per person, and the effects of that single drop vary from person to person. This Essence Liquid is best used during the Apprentice Knight phase, as it is most effective then.
The items mentioned above are all we four can leave you. You are well aware of our wishes; we hope you can fulfill our final desire, so that our time together as master and disciple will not be in vain.
Take care, my disciple.
Signed, Four Sacred Beasts.
After reading the letter, Liu Guanfeng knelt again before the spirit tablets of the Four Sacred Beasts: “Four Masters, rest assured, I will definitely bring your ashes back. I will find a beautiful place in the mountains and waters to bury you. I hope the spirits of the Four Masters bless me.” Following this, Liu Guanfeng bowed deeply four times to the Four Sacred Beasts.
Time flew by quickly, and the hundred days soon passed. During this time, Bao Rui, Copper Bull, Iron Bull, and others returned from the Starfall Kingdom to pay their respects to the Four Sacred Beasts.
After one hundred days, Liu Guanfeng placed the ashes of the Four Sacred Beasts into a Cosmic Bag for easy carrying.
Throughout these hundred days, Liu Guanfeng hardly left the mourning hall even once; he even ate his meals there. His dedication astonished Cui Zhongyi and Qifeng Ge.
Once the hundred days were up, Liu Guanfeng stepped out of the mourning hall and stood in an open area of the Four Sacred Valleys. He stretched deeply. Then, he brought out the weapons and armor he had obtained from the Demon Tomb. At this moment, these pieces of equipment looked just like they did in the cave, still enveloped in white energy.
However, Liu Guanfeng could still feel a chilling aura emanating from the weapons; even just by looking at them, those around him, including Bao Rui, sensed that these items were definitely not ordinary.
Looking at Liu Guanfeng as he took out these weapons, Bao Rui asked, “Master, what are you doing with these?”
“These weapons and armor were crafted for me by the Xuanwu Master. The Azure Dragon Master mentioned in his letter that I need to drop blood to acknowledge them as mine before I can use them.”
"It seems like I've never heard of weapons needing blood to recognize their master before?" Iron Bull still looked confused.
"That was the case before, but that's because those weapons and equipment hadn't reached such a level. You know, these things took Xuanwu Master five years to forge successfully for me. Besides, who has ever seen such weapons? Even if they didn't require blood to recognize their master, they would definitely be the best tools in this world."
Iron Bull glanced at the weapons on the ground again and nodded, "That's true. Just looking at them makes me feel like my own weapon isn't worthy to touch them."
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng slowly walked up to his weapons and armor. He held a small dagger in his hand and made a cut on his left wrist with it. Blood slowly flowed from Liu Guanfeng's hand, dripping onto all the weapons and armor.
Once every piece of equipment had been stained with Liu Guanfeng's blood, he used his Fighting Qi to heal his wound.
At that moment, Liu Guanfeng's blood was instantly absorbed by the weapons and armor. The originally white-glowing weapons and armor suddenly radiated red light, which flickered a few times before disappearing. Even the initial white light vanished simultaneously.
Liu Guanfeng stood on the ground, extending his right hand over Fang Tian Hua Ji. He did not channel any Fighting Qi to connect with Fang Tian Hua Ji on the ground, yet everyone saw it trembling continuously. Suddenly, Fang Tian Hua Ji flew up from the ground and was directly grasped by Liu Guanfeng.
As Liu Guanfeng held Fang Tian Hua Ji, he felt that it was now a part of his body, and the five Cores embedded in Fang Tian Hua Ji lit up simultaneously.
Liu Guanfeng made a feint thrust at a large tree three meters away. A stream of white Fighting Qi shot out from the tip of Fang Tian Hua Ji, piercing a hole through the tree. Throughout the entire process, Liu Guanfeng did not use any of his own Fighting Qi.
After testing Fang Tian Hua Ji, Liu Guanfeng stored the other weapons and armor into his Cosmic Bag.
Now that everything on his side was settled, it was time to seek revenge. The grudge he wanted to avenge was the one caused by Sun Yong's ascension to the throne that led to his family's destruction. Because of Sun Yong's oppression, the Liu Family was ruined, and his parents suffered for several years. If it weren't for the help of Qinglong and others, he might never have seen his parents or brothers again. Therefore, this revenge was something Liu Guanfeng had to pursue.
