When Arlen Xuding Si departed, Fang Lin Kong felt a surge of courage ignited by the cold gaze of Liexiezi sweeping over him. Unable to think of any way out, he steeled his heart and said to Liexiezi, "I have already refined the Four Treasures of the Demon Gate into a Soul-Entrusting Artifact. Even if you kill me, I won't be able to return it. The Liexie Twin Hooks, Aqua Water Elite, Solar Pearl, Wutu Zhenluo, and Mystic Heaven Ruler are all here; take them back!"
Liexiezi glanced at Fang Lin Kong with a faint look, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on his lips. He reached out with a hand, and although they were still several hundred meters apart, this strike seemed to transcend the barriers of space, gently landing on Fang Lin Kong's shoulder.
Fang Lin Kong remained vigilant, keeping his external defensive shield intact. Liexiezi's palm activated the Infinite Radiance Realm of his Great Freedom Heaven Realm Seven Treasures Banner, along with the Thirty-Three Heavens Guardian Realm and Azure Fire Divine Shield, creating a triple layer of defense. In an instant, brilliant light erupted around Fang Lin Kong, casting countless rays that shot straight into the sky.
Even the Azure Sky Ancestor couldn't help but be moved; he had seen Fang Lin Kong not long ago when he had not displayed such abilities. After delivering the strike, Liexiezi retreated while Fang Lin Kong was enveloped in radiant light, not touching him in the slightest.
"I will take these items! However, you must have obtained more than just these today!"
Fang Lin Kong felt threatened by Liexiezi's words. Before his protective aura could activate, Liexiezi's palm had already made contact with him, transmitting a strange force that invaded his Triple Shield. It was only with great difficulty that Fang Lin Kong managed to digest and break down this force before it reached his internal organs, leaving him drenched in cold sweat. The fact that even his most trusted protective shield could not withstand Liexiezi's power left him feeling utterly bewildered. Unsure of Liexiezi's intentions, he thought to himself, "Since it seems impossible to resolve this peacefully, I will not sit idly by."
With that thought in mind, Fang Lin Kong summoned the Azure Fire Divine Flame around him. A suit of armor made entirely of pure Azure Flame materialized before him. In recent days, he had refined the divine armor obtained from Ancient God Chaos and re-forged it into this Azure Fire Divine Flame Armor in conjunction with the Azure Fire Divine Flame.
Seeing Fang Lin Kong enveloped in Azure Flame light, Liexiezi waved his hand casually. Five streaks of emerald sword light intertwined like ribbons and shot toward Fang Lin Kong.
With a low growl, Fang Lin Kong did not retreat; instead, he suddenly vanished from his original position. When he reappeared, he was already above Liexiezi. Clapping his hands together, Azure Flame Thunder surged forth like green pearls raining down fiercely upon Liexiezi.
This quick response even drew an impressed exclamation from Liexiezi: "Good!"
However, to inflict damage on Heavenly Demon's Abyss with just a glance was still beyond Fang Lin Kong's current capabilities. Without moving his body at all, Liexiezi merely flicked his left index finger and unleashed a sword qi that effortlessly shattered Fang Lin Kong's cascading Azure Flame Thunder. After breaking through Fang Lin Kong's Azure Flame Thunder, the sword light struck fiercely against his defensive shield. The Azure Fire Divine Shield could not withstand such immense force; it flickered uncertainly before cracking open a gap. As Fang Lin Kong was forced back by Liexiezi's overwhelming power after taking a risk to attack, his second layer of defense—the Thirty-Three Heavens Guardian Realm—barely managed to block Liexiezi's sword light but was still sent flying into the air by an overwhelming force.
Fang Lin Kong's surname was pronounced with a hint of disdain. Instead of feeling fear, he let out a loud roar as the Azure Fire Divine Flame surged around him. The Azure Fire Divine Shield was repaired and perfected, and he struck again with the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade, leaving a long trail of light in the air, illuminating the surroundings like daylight.
Liexiezi was taken aback, not realizing that Fang Lin Kong possessed such a powerful artifact. He let out a soft "Oh!" and said lightly, "You have surprised me quite a bit, child. If I were to give you another thirty years, it might become a question of whether I could still control you! However, today you will not escape my grasp! You might as well give up!"
The green radiance of the Innate Sword Artifact clashed against the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade, creating a dazzling display of sparks. Yet, in that moment, Liexiezi closed the distance to Fang Lin Kong. With a swift motion, he clenched his fingers into a fist, and a green flame spread along his arm. He then slammed his fist down onto Fang Lin Kong's defensive shield.
This time, Fang Lin Kong's shield did not shatter, but an overwhelming force knocked him off balance, sending him flying like a cannonball. Liexiezi seemed to multiply into countless figures, each time striking Fang Lin Kong from the direction of his impact and sending him hurtling even further away. After just thirty or fifty blows, Fang Lin Kong's head was spinning; he could only barely maintain his shield without breaking it and had no strength left to counterattack. The gap in strength between him and Liexiezi was simply too vast; he felt like a mouse being toyed with by an old cat.
Faced with this dire situation, Fang Lin Kong suddenly twisted his body and at a critical moment dissipated the momentum within him, preparing to counterattack fiercely. Seeing Fang Lin Kong employ such tactics surprised even Liexiezi, who exclaimed, "So you've already cultivated the Mystic Transformation of the Nine Heavens to its second form, Dark Serpent Transformation! This truly exceeds my expectations."
This time, however, he did not attack again; instead, he simply issued a calm command that unleashed an oppressive force. Instantly, Fang Lin Kong fell from mid-air to the ground. He struggled desperately to maintain his shield but found himself unable to move.
"Liexiezi! What do you want? If you wish to kill me, then come at me!"
Liexiezi smiled slightly, his expression unchanged as he replied, "Fang Lin Kong, you've taken my artifact; I won't demand everything back. You only need to return Aqua Water Elite and Mystic Heaven Ruler to me this time, and we can call it even! However, having taken my things means you can't just take without giving back. From now on, you'll work under me!"
Since witnessing the Grand Auction House, Liexiezi had developed new insights. In this era, any artifact could be put up for sale. Moreover, aside from rare materials and treasures with mysterious origins that couldn't be replicated or manufactured, modern refining techniques had allowed most artifacts to be industrially mass-produced. After receiving twelve celestial swords from Azure Sky Ancestor, Liexiezi no longer felt an urgent need for the Liexie Twin Hooks. Besides that, having already cultivated the Innate Sword Artifact made other treasures somewhat redundant for him. As for the Four Treasures of the Demon Gate, Liexiezi had never dared to cultivate such sinister items in the past; this time he was merely returning a favor.
Upon hearing Liexiezi's words, Fang Lin Kong was momentarily stunned and was about to speak when Azure Sky Ancestor shot him a glance. Understanding the cue immediately, Fang Lin Kong hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to Liexiezi, "Master Uncle is willing to take me under his wing; I am immensely grateful and wish to follow you from now on!"
Liexiezi actually held some admiration for Fang Lin Kong. To cultivate the second transformation of Mystic Transformation of the Nine Heavens in such a short period showed not only luck but also exceptional talent on Fang Lin Kong's part. He saw potential in establishing a sect with Fang Lin Kong as an excellent candidate.
Liexiezi nodded slightly and gestured for Fang Lin Kong to rise. Just as he was about to offer some comforting words, Fang Lin Kong suddenly recalled something and thought to himself: "This old monster Liexiezi wants me as his subordinate; I wonder what he's planning. For my future well-being, I should flatter him."
His mind was racing at that moment. With a swift motion, he produced a fist-sized dark blue-black orb from his person and said to Liexiezi, "This item was obtained by my master’s nephew by chance. Since Master Uncle lacks magical treasures, why not refine it? I’ve had it for quite some time, and I’m not sure what to do with it. Keeping it here would be like casting a pearl before swine!"
Liexiezi initially had no intention of accepting any gifts; he had even turned down the Four Treasures of the Demon Gate and the Liexie Twin Hooks. What could he possibly want from Fang Lin Kong? However, when he caught sight of what Fang Lin Kong held in his hand, his heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy stone. Even if someone were to detonate ten nuclear warheads in front of him, it wouldn’t have shocked him as much.
"This item... where did you get it? Do you know its origins?"
Liexiezi could hardly believe his luck and hurriedly asked Fang Lin Kong.
Fang Lin Kong recounted his adventures within the Ancient God Chaos in detail, even mentioning his encounter with Dan Xiazi on Earth without holding back. Of course, since he was presenting the original body of Ancient God Chaos as a gift, he omitted the fact that Dan Xiazi also possessed two of them. This made his gift appear unique and even more precious.
At that moment, even Azure Sky Ancestor came over to take a closer look and said, "Indeed, although what Fang Lin Kong described differs from ancient legends, this item is undoubtedly the Pangu Pearl. Congratulations, Twelfth Disciple; you have the opportunity to ascend to the celestial realm again!"
Liexiezi laughed heartily, overwhelmed with joy. Little did he know that his moment of kindness had prompted Fang Lin Kong to present the original body of Ancient God Chaos as flattery. His physical body had collapsed without cultivating into Yuan Shen; although he had barely achieved the Celestial Demon form, his energy was mixed and impure. He couldn’t withstand the energy storms crossing Alternate Dimension Space. However, with the original body of Ancient God Chaos, he could refine his pure essence once more and undergo a second collapse and reorganization—perhaps even a third—until he was satisfied with his life form.
Fang Lin Kong didn’t understand the significance of the original body of Ancient God Chaos, but Liexiezi did. This item had appeared in the cultivation world before and was known as the Pangu Pearl. It was a supreme treasure for Soul Vessels; with this item protecting Yuan Shen during tribulations, one wouldn’t fear the shocks of Heaven and Earth’s Vitality. It allowed for a calm reorganization of one’s body. For someone like Liexiezi, obtaining this item was akin to being given an opportunity to attain Buddhahood instantly.
"With this item in hand, not to mention Arlen Xuding Si and Camberto, even that old Yuan Qian Kun would be no match for you, Twelfth Disciple! Moreover, I can also borrow this item to attempt my Ascend!"
Azure Sky Ancestor laughed triumphantly while Liexiezi patted him on the shoulder. His expression remained calm as water, but his tone soared high into the sky. He said, "Fourth Senior Brother lacks ambition; after I enter seclusion for a month and emerge, I will sweep across the world. Those like Zhou Qingzhe will find themselves unworthy even to carry our shoes in the future!"
