Just as she returned to her residence, Chu Liuyue realized that an energy vortex had already formed in the sky above the courtyard.
Abundant Heaven and Earth Force was surging down.
She quickly realized something. Xiao Zhou is about to break through.
This commotion didn’t attract anyone’s attention.
In Fantasy Divine Palace, there were many legendary warriors, but true gods like Little Zhou were a minority. Therefore, even if they sensed the fluctuation here, no one paid much attention.
Chu Liuyue brought Xiao Ba into the courtyard, and Shangguan Jing happened to come out of the room.
Ever since he came here, he had entered the room and almost never came out.
Seeing the two dark circles under Shangguan Jing’s eyes, Chu Liuyue was stunned. “Ancestor, are you… not resting well?”
Shangguan Jing sighed. “Sigh, it’s not that I didn’t rest well. I didn’t rest at all.”
He rubbed his temples, tossed a short knife on the stone table, and sat down.
Chu Liuyue glanced at it.
It was shining brightly and extremely sharp. It was a top-notch Yuan instrument.
“Have you been studying this recently?”
“Yes and no.” Shangguan Jing shook his head. “Previously, I vaguely felt that I had touched the threshold of refining a holy weapon, but I never succeeded. I was always so close.”
He hadn’t rested for such a long time and was constantly trying to break through that shackle. Unfortunately, he didn’t succeed.
Chu Liuyue recalled what she had talked to Rong Xiu about previously. She thought for a moment and looked up at the Fantasy Divine Hall that was standing far away. If this Fantasy Divine Hall is really identical to the one in the Red Moon Desert, then… Perhaps the secret of the holy weapon is in the black jade square inside? If I can enter the Fantasy Divine Hall, all my doubts will be resolved.
“Forget it. This kind of thing can’t be rushed.” Shangguan Jing had been a supreme Armory Refinement Master for many years, so he wasn’t in a hurry.
No matter what, there was still some hope now. It was much better than when it was hopeless in the past.
“Eh? This is… Who’s going to break through?” Shangguan Jing asked in surprise when he saw the energy vortex spinning down.
Chu Liuyue nodded. “It’s Little Zhou.”
A look of surprise flashed across Shangguan Jing’s face. “So fast? I remember that he broke through to become a true god not long ago?”
In his impression, Qiang Wanzhou was still that thin and exquisite young man. He didn’t expect him to break through to become a legendary warrior so soon!
“His age seems to be… about the same as yours, right? This talent—” Shangguan Jing clicked his tongue.
Chu Liuyue smiled helplessly and briefly explained the eruption of the extreme cold force in Little Zhou’s body. “…He has no choice but to break through now. Otherwise, just the power accumulated in his body will be enough to destroy him.”
Shangguan Jing’s expression became more serious. “I see—”
He knew that it was impossible for ordinary people to break through to this level in such a short time. The main reason Qiang Wanzhou could do this was due to the shockingly cold force sealed in his body.
“I wonder how the extreme cold force in his body came about…” Shangguan Jing muttered thoughtfully. “To be able to seal such force, they shouldn’t be an ordinary person… Furthermore, after so many years, Qiang Wanzhou actually withstood it just like that.”
Even he was surprised.
This was actually what Chu Liuyue was curious about.
Qiang Wanzhou only said that it had been like this since he had his memories, but he didn’t know anything more. And the person he was looking for back then…
Boom!
A powerful energy fluctuation came from the room!
Chu Liuyue’s expression hardened. He’s about to break through!
Right on the heels of that, a bone-chilling chill pervaded the room.
Chu Liuyue clearly saw that a layer of white and transparent frost quickly condensed on the tightly shut door
The coldness quickly spread everywhere. Soon, the eaves and pillars were covered in this frost, and it showed no signs of stopping!
Shock flashed across Shangguan Jing’s eyes as he suddenly stood up. “What’s going on?”
Chu Liuyue frowned and felt a little worried. This aura is extremely familiar—it is the extremely cold force in Qiang Wanzhou’s body. From the looks of it, this force has been completely released! I don’t know if he can withstand such shocking pressure…
At this moment, the sound of air being torn apart suddenly came from the sky!
Chu Liuyue looked up and saw several silver lightning bolts flying over from afar!
She was stunned. This heavenly lightning came from… the lightning pool?!
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, the lightning had already arrived in the sky! Then, the frozen door opened with a bang!
A figure quickly rushed out and went straight up—it was Qiang Wanzhou!
He clearly planned to face this heavenly lightning head-on!
Boom!
The first bolt of lightning to arrive exploded and instantly enveloped Qiang Wanzhou’s figure! The others followed closely behind.
For a moment, silver light splashed in the air, and energy surged wildly.
In the distant sky, there were still several bolts of lightning flying over continuously.
This scene finally attracted the attention of some people.
“This—who’s making a breakthrough?”
“It looks like it’s quite a commotion, and it looks like Shangguan Yue’s residence. Could it be that one of her subordinates is about to break through?”
“I heard that she brought three true gods over. Could it be one of them?”
“Then, he must be breaking through to become a legendary warrior, right? But this lineup is too big!”
“Let’s not talk about anything else. If this person can successfully break through, his strength will probably increase greatly. However, I heard that he doesn’t have a bloodline totem either. Even if he becomes a legendary warrior, it’s meaningless…”
Although everyone was a little surprised, they weren’t shocked. To a large extent, they still didn’t take Chu Liuyue and the others seriously.
Even if he broke through… In their opinion, there was no future to speak of.
More and more heavenly lightning gathered.
Chu Liuyue could barely distinguish Qiang Wanzhou’s figure.
Suddenly, one of the lightning bolts came toward the few people in the courtyard!
Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to move, she felt that something was wrong.
She hurriedly stopped Shangguan Jing, who was about to attack. “Ancestor, wait! That’s Si Jing!”
Shangguan Jing was dumbfounded. “What!?”
As the two of them spoke, the bolt of lightning had already landed in the courtyard. At this moment, they finally saw clearly that it was really Si Jing.
The reason why he misunderstood was that… there was a silver lightning bolt on his back. They were a distance away just now, so the people below didn’t see it clearly.
“Master, why are you looking at me like that?” Seeing their strange expressions, Si Jing was stunned. Only then did he suddenly come back to his senses.
He grabbed the bolt of lightning on his back and pulled it down. “Eh, there’s more?”
Ka!
He broke the bolt of lightning into pieces.
