Special War God

Chapter 213 Star Trial

That time, Xia Zhongnan asked Liu Dabazi to protect Tianyi Taoist Sect in the name of Chiyan Army. Zuoqiu Juemin personally led his troops to provide assistance and saved Tianyi Taoist Sect from danger. Xia Zhongnan always remembered this favor.

After leaving Zuoqiu Juemin, Xia Zhongnan decided to visit Jiao Bohu again, the only genius he had personally recruited. Before leaving, he wanted to chat with him again.

Jiao Bohu has been busy at the new site of the Wentian Palace outside the suburbs of Lingzhu City.

Now that he has officially taken up the post of Palace Master of Wentian Palace, it is indeed necessary for him to go back.

At the beginning, Xia Zhongnan introduced the alchemist Jiao Bohu to the Wentian Fairy Palace and recommended him as the head of the Dan Hall. Although Xia Zhongnan provided the Dan Hall with many resources, such as precious fairy herbs collected from the fairy palace and top-grade alchemy furnaces, the two rarely had in-depth exchanges after recruiting him.

The main reason is that Xia Zhongnan is busy by nature and seldom stays in the sect for a long time. How could he have the opportunity to have an in-depth conversation with Jiao Bohu?

Compared to the members of Wentian Palace, most of whom were from the Thirteen Divine Guards who switched to other sects, Jiao Bohu joined in the middle.

Over the years, he has devoted himself to the development of Dan Tang. Not only has he trained many outstanding alchemists, but also, under his guidance, Dan Tang has been able to refine many precious elixirs that are difficult to buy on the market.

His contribution is crucial for Wentian Fairy Palace to have such rich resources of elixirs.

Before leaving, Xia Zhongnan also hoped to have a deep talk with him again.

When we arrived at the Alchemy Hall, Jiao Bohu was concentrating on refining the elixir.

Xia Zhongnan did not disturb them and waited quietly.

Jiao Bohu excitedly put the newly refined elixir into the elixir bottle. He looked up and saw Xia Zhongnan standing in the elixir room. He saluted quickly and said, "Palace Master, why are you here?"

Xia Zhongnan said: "I have to leave for a while, and I came to visit you before leaving."

Jiao Bohu said: "Palace Master, you are a very busy person with heavy responsibilities. How can I trouble you to come and see me? Just send a message and I will come to visit you!"

Xia Zhongnan smiled and said, "I invited you to join Wentian Palace. How have you been doing over the years?"

Jiao Bohu said: "Why do you say that, Palace Master? Wentian Palace is exactly the place I have always dreamed of. Even if you drive me away, I will not leave!"

Xia Zhongnan said: "Really? As long as you like it!"...

Jiao Bohu narrated: "Looking back, when the Palace Master gave me the Star and Moon Contract, he said that this secret method combined with my understanding of the way of star alchemy would definitely enable me to reach a new level of cultivation. Over the years, I have immersed myself in the ocean of alchemy, and at the same time, I have learned the secret method through the refining of star pills. Now my attainments in alchemy have been promoted to a higher level, and I have even touched the clue of breaking through the void barrier. I can achieve this achievement, all thanks to the careful cultivation of the Palace Master!"

After hearing what Jiao Bohu said, Xia Zhongnan was filled with joy.

If Jiao Bohu can really break through the void, perhaps when he returns, many void cultivators will emerge in Xiuzhou. In the past, Wentian Fairy Palace prospered in Fenglan City, and even founded the "Wentian Alliance". In a short period of time, more than a dozen small sects joined one after another. After migrating to Leader City, Xianyue Villa, Yunu Palace, Baiyun Temple and other small sects in the alliance also came with them. However, Xia Zhongnan was worried about bigger things, and he didn't ask too much about these trivial matters. Even if he didn't intervene, everyone in the sect would take care of everything in an orderly manner. He was sure that when he returned again, Wentian Fairy Palace would make further progress, and Xiuzhou would also recover from the shadow of war and regain vitality.

This time, Tu Shan Fang'er and Xia Zhongnan flew directly to the Tianbing Pavilion of Zilei Peak. Xia Zhongnan took out the talisman given by Lan Gongfu earlier and injected a trace of star power. Lan Gongfu immediately sensed his arrival in the pavilion. After waiting for a while, Zhu Chuanshui and his fellow disciples opened the door. Seeing Xia Zhongnan, Zhu Chuanshui was a little embarrassed. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Fellow Daoist Xia, my master wants to see you!" The unhappiness between the two of them still existed. Lan Gongfu sent him to meet Xia Zhongnan, perhaps with the consideration of improving their relationship and resolving past grievances. What's more, Gongsun Kehua now thinks highly of Xia Zhongnan, so he naturally cannot treat him as an ordinary guest. Xia Zhongnan no longer cares about the trivial matters of the past, not to mention that it was Zhu Chuanshui who suffered the loss that time! He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, long time no see!" As he spoke, he walked into the door and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, is your master's forging of weapons going smoothly?" Zhu Chuanshui replied, "A mere artifact is just a matter of waving your hand for my master. Follow me!" The group headed to the top of the mountain. According to the rules of the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion, the higher the status, the closer the residence is to the sky. When they arrived in front of a palace, Zhu Chuanshui said, "Master lives here." Xia Zhongnan saw the three words "Yangzi Palace" on the lintel and asked casually, "Yangzi Palace? What's the allusion to this name?" Along the way, Xia Zhongnan and Zhu Chuanshui chatted about family matters, trying to get closer to each other. Zhu Chuanshui seemed to be asked by Lan Gongfu to try his best to show his kindness to Xia Zhongnan, and told him the truth except for things that were too secretive. After this period of communication, Xia Zhongnan had a deeper understanding of this legendary "secular sect".

Zhu Chuanshui narrated: "Master was born in the fantasy world of Yangzi City. When the master was wandering in another world, he saw a talent and brought him to the mysterious realm of Tianbing Pavilion. When Master cultivates to the realm of emptiness and return to the truth, he can open a hall and accept disciples, so this hall was named 'Yangzi Hall' in memory of him."

Xia Zhongnan nodded slightly.

The so-called "hidden sects" mostly have disciples who come from the outside world and are introduced to the sect from a young age to be trained and raised. After some gifted people have completed their studies, they will be sent back to the outside world to undergo hardships.

After learning about this, Xia Zhongnan's sense of mystery about them seemed to fade a little. After all, they were just ordinary people in essence, but they grew up in different stages.

When he entered the "Yangzi Hall", Lan Gongfu was already waiting there and said with a smile: "Xia Shaoxia has indeed arrived on time!"

Xia Zhongnan bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Lan! I am grateful to you for taking the trouble to forge the divine weapon for me. How dare I be unpunctual?"

Lan Gongfu waved his hand lightly, and his disciples carried out a rectangular treasure chest from the inner room, inside which should be the cast magic weapon.

Seeing the treasure chest, Xia Zhongnan's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably. He carefully opened the lid of the box and saw a pitch-black spear lying quietly inside.

The spear was shiny black all over, faintly gleaming with a crystal luster, as if one could feel the two opposing forces intertwined in it, implicitly conforming to the principle of yin and yang.

He held the spear, and a fiery energy came from his palm, echoing the vitality in his body. As the energy flowed, the heat suddenly turned into cold, which once again triggered his vitality.

Two completely opposite forces collided in Xia Zhongnan's body. Even though he had a strong foundation, he could hardly resist this chaos.

Lan Gongfu watched all this with a smile. He might have looked down on it in his heart, but he did not say a word: "Young man, don't be too ambitious. Now you know the difficulty of the challenge, right?"

Lan Gongfu had mentioned that Jiuying could combine water and fire, and could be separated into two magical weapons, water and fire. However, Xia Zhongnan insisted on combining water and fire into one gun.

A divine weapon that is compatible with both water and fire certainly surpasses weapons with a single attribute, but it also places more stringent requirements on the user.

The Nine Infants can be compatible with both water and fire because of the innate instinct of their race. How many humans can control two opposing attributes without conflict?

Holding this magic gun, it is not easy to protect yourself from harm, let alone actual combat.

Feeling the teasing gazes of Lan Gongfu, Zhu Chuanshui and others, Xia Zhongnan felt a surge of stubbornness in his heart. He mobilized the cosmic power of another world and injected it into the spear, suppressing the water and fire power in the spear, and then said: "It is indeed a magical weapon. Can you let me try its power?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Lan Gongfu's eyes, and then he said, "Let's go to the trial garden!"

After saying that, he took the initiative to lead everyone to a courtyard, where dozens of armored soldiers were arranged in a certain formation.

Upon closer inspection, these soldiers had no signs of life; they were actually lifelike dolls made of special metal.

Lan Gongfu explained, "Xia Shaoxia, this trial garden is used to test the power of newly cast divine weapons. These simulated puppets are made of metal and are not afraid of attacks from divine weapons. You can enter the formation and practice actual combat with them."

He did not reveal some secrets. This phantom warrior camp is divided into several levels, and each warrior has the combat power of the peak incarnation. Only a few phantom warriors are needed to form a formation, which is enough to resist the impact of the ethereal realm cultivators. Once all of them are launched, it is no problem to fight against several ethereal realm masters.

Without stating his intention directly, he aimed to probe Xia Zhongnan's background and find out the extent of his fighting ability.

Xia Zhongnan naturally had no idea of ​​his intention. He shouted "Okay!" and stepped into the phantom with his spear in hand.

Suddenly, one of the phantoms moved, and the warrior next to him swung his sword at him, the movement was extremely abrupt.

Xia Zhongnan thought to himself, "It seems that this phantom array is not only used to test the artifact, but also contains practical effects."

He blocked with his spear, and heard a "bang", which actually created a tiny crack in the long sword in the phantom's hand.

After taking this attack, the phantom formation began to evaluate Xia Zhongnan's combat capability, and several phantoms took action, trapping him in the formation and launching continuous offensive.

Xia Zhongnan shouted: "Good gun!"

Then, he fought with the offensive and defensive formation formed by this group of phantom warriors like a dragon.

His figure was flying, and the spear in his hand seemed to have life, and each strike contained amazing power. Even though the phantom warrior formation had been running to its limit, it could not shake Xia Zhongnan at all. Instead, their weapons were shattered in the confrontation with the spear.

Subsequently, more phantoms joined the battle until all phantoms were deployed and the entire formation was fully activated.

Zhu Chuanshui and other disciples were all amazed when they saw how powerful Xia Zhongnan was in wielding the spear.

They had fought against formations of phantom warriors before, and each time they were defeated miserably by just a few phantoms. Who had they expected that the strength of the Spirit Transformation Realm would be so powerful?

They didn't know yet that when all the phantoms were deployed, they were able to resist the combined efforts of several Void Realm monks.

However, Lan Gongfu was far more shocked than these disciples.

Only he knew that at this moment this "magic weapon" did not enhance Xia Zhongnan's strength, but instead required Xia Zhongnan to do his best to suppress its backlash.
