Hearing this, Zhao Fu could not help but laugh. He had not been able to keep Gongsun Lin, but her big sister had become a Concubine. This was not something Zhao Fu had intended, and it was amusing how life worked.
“The Clear Sable Sword is in my possession; do you have any way to deal with this?” Zhao Fu asked. Ever since he had killed civilians last time, he had been using his strength to suppress the eye; otherwise, it would cause him great pain in his heart. Now that he had met someone who knew about this, Zhao Fu naturally had to ask if there was a solution.
However, Gongsun Zhu shook her head, saying, “There’s nothing I can do about this. However, I have a sword making forbidden technique that can re-forge this sword. The Clear Sable Sword is a world-famous sword and is a sword of kindness, which is not suitable for Your Majesty. What I can do is use this forbidden technique to re-forge it into a sword of killing.
“By changing its attributes from kindness to killing, the eye will not harm Your Majesty anymore, and it will instead help Your Majesty.”
Hearing this, Zhao Fu felt quite delighted and asked Gongsun Zhu about the forbidden technique.
After hearing about it, he found that this forbidden technique was quite special. They would not be forging a physical sword but a type of formless sword that could not be seen or touched. It was like a thing of his mind that was formless and ethereal.
Zhao Fu stopped suppressing the eye, and within the immense pain, Zhao Fu forged the eye into the shape of a formless sword. Right after it was forged, it became immensely powerful.
Zhao Fu now held it in his hand. To other people, it would look like there was nothing within Zhao Fu’s hand, and this was because the sword was still in its most basic form. It could not hurt anything corporeal and could only injure spirits and minds. Because it had only just been forged, it did not have any special attributes, but as Zhao Fu killed more people, that sword would become more powerful.
Of course, the pain within Zhao Fu’s heart was still there, but that was because the eye’s attribute of kindness was still there; it required killing people to convert it into a sword of killing.
With this formless sword, Zhao Fu could kill one’s spirit, which meant that if he used this sword to kill players, they would die a true death.
At the same time, Zhao Fu realized that the mysterious faction that had sent him this sword was extremely likely to be the Gongsun family. After all, it had been in the Gongsun family’s possession for a long time.
Thinking about this, Zhao Fu felt a bit complicated. If it was any other faction, he would have felt somewhat angry, but Gongsun Lin had helped him in the past, and her big sister Gongsun Zhu had also helped him.
Zhao Fu thought about it and said to a Minister next to him, “Promote Gongsun Zhu’s status to a higher rank!”
Right now, Zhao Fu’s concubines had different ranks. The lowest rank was those who were not cooperative, and they did not have any rights; they were only there to provide Great Qin with Phoenix Qi and were essentially kept in captivity.
Now, the Emperor Phoenix Statue’s strength was on par with a Level 1 Nation Armament. Zhao Fu wanted to make it stronger, as it had the potential to surpass Clan Armaments, so why settle with how it was now?
The lowest grade Concubines had only been given the title and were not true Concubines. Ordinary Concubines only had a tiny bit of power, and the higher rank they were, the greater rights and power they had. Not everyone who was made a Concubine had immense power.
“Your Majesty, can you allow me to leave Great Qin? I’m willing to accept my status as your Concubine, but I don’t want to be restricted to Great Qin. I hope Your Majesty can understand!” Gongsun Zhu looked at Zhao Fu as she spoke her aim.
Zhao Fu fell silent; he could not accept his Concubine wandering around outside, so he rejected this request.
Hearing this, Gongsun Zhu felt a bit disappointed, but she said, “Your Majesty, can you at least tell the Gongsun family that I’m fine here?”
There was no problem with this, so Zhao Fu quickly agreed and said, “I’m not sure if you have any interest in forging equipment; if you do, you may freely go to the weaponry workshop in the future.”
Gongsun Zhu felt pleasantly surprised; even though she could not leave, she could at least do what she liked, so she thanked Zhao Fu.
After dealing with this, Zhao Fu went to the Southern Continent. Of course, Zhao Fu went secretly, and he went to the place where the eight Aquatic Beast Kings were sealed. Zhao Fu’s body slowly sank into the sealed area.
He had not seen them in a long time, and they seem quite withered and powerless, as they had been tormented every day.
“Owner, you’ve finally come. I’ve long since been willing to submit and have been waiting for you to finally come back so that I don’t have to suffer anymore,” the Earthwater Dragon Tortoise said in its ancient voice with a tone of currying favor and being wronged.
Zhao Fu had never thought that one of them would be willing to submit so easily. Zhao Fu had the Earthwater Dragon Tortoise hand out its Spirit Origin, which it did obediently. A white orb of light floated out of its head and entered Zhao Fu’s hand.
Zhao Fu was quite satisfied and put away the Spirit Origin. With this Spirit Origin, he could control the Earthwater Dragon Tortoise’s life with his will. Following this, Zhao Fu waived his hand, and the chains binding the Earthwater Dragon Tortoise retracted.
“Um, owner, I’m also willing to surrender!” Seeing that the Earthwater Dragon Tortoise had been released and no longer tormented, the Sift Metal Stingray spoke up with his child-like voice, expressing that it was willing to submit.
Following this, the Ghostscale Flame Bird spoke with a woman’s voice and also submitted.
Even before, these three Aquatic Beast Kings were not as resistant and wanted to negotiate with Zhao Fu. After being tormented for such a long time, they were naturally willing to submit.
Zhao Fu’s gaze turned to the five other Aquatic Beast Kings, who did not show any intention of submitting. Zhao Fu once again said, “I’ll ask you one last time: Will you submit to me? I don’t have any patience to wait for you; if you’re not willing, I can only refine you into puppets.”
The remaining five Aquatic Beast Kings did not reply to Zhao Fu. The Three Soul Great Snake looked at Zhao Fu disdainfully, and Zhao Fu did not say anything as he grabbed at the end, causing a formless power to enter their heads, slowly stripping them of their spirits.
“Roarrrr!!” This process was incredibly painful, and seeing that Zhao Fu really was going to refine them into puppets, another two of the Aquatic Beast Kings decided to surrender.
Now, it was just the Three Soul Great Snake, Reef Lizard, and Sin Flood Dragon. These three Aquatic Beast Kings were not willing to submit, so Zhao Fu used his full strength to stab into their spirits.
“Roarrrr!!” the massive amount of pain caused the three Aquatic Beast Kings to madly struggle and give off pained roars. This caused the five Aquatic Beast Kings who had surrendered to feel quite shocked.
