However, compared to the previous man in a martial robe, there is still quite a gap.
This shows that even if he had arrived earlier, he might not have been a match for that devil cultivator.
Zhao Huai remained calm and said with a faint smile, “Elder, your intentions are appreciated, but I was barely victorious. The devil cultivator self-detonated his Golden Core, almost causing a great disaster. You all arrived just in time, for I wouldn’t have been able to defend against other devil cultivators if they came.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Gongren’s expression became serious and he said earnestly, “Your Highness, there’s no need to worry. My Spiritual Elephant Sect is under the command of the Eternal Taoist Temple, and we will absolutely protect your safety with our lives.”
At this moment, maintaining the stability of the south was crucial for Yan Country, and the Crown Prince was a core figure who must not die. This was not only their mission but also their responsibility.
Zhao Huai took a look at the Elder and thought: The situation is turbulent right now, and it’s unclear what the Immortal Sects are going through. Why not ask this Elder? He might know more about the inside story.
He couldn’t help but ask, “I’ve heard that the Limitless Immortal Sect’s
Hierarch has fallen, which is a major event that cannot be ignored in the Immortal Cultivation World. Is the Spiritual Mountains still safe now?” Liu Gongren sighed and then explained:
“Indeed, the passing of Limitless Taoist priest is a pillar of the Immortal Cultivation World and a regretful event. However, Your Highness does not need to be overly concerned. The Limitless Immortal Sect has dispatched ten Swordsmen who have been cultivating for a hundred years to garrison at ten entrances of the Spiritual Mountains. Other Immortal Sects have also sent people down the mountain to reinforce the order. There won’t be any accidents. ”
“That’s good.”
After hearing this, Zhao Huai finally felt relieved.
It seems that the situation is not as critical as he expected, and the Devil Sect, which has been dormant for a long time, couldn’t underestimate the major sects led by the Spiritual Mountains.
In the silence, Liu Gongren noticed the broken spiritual sword that Zhao Huai was holding and asked, “Is this your walking sword?”
Zhao Huai sighed:
“Yes, this sword has been with me for quite a while, but it couldn’t withstand the aftermath of the Golden Core self-detonation and was damaged.” “This doesn’t seem to be your life-bound magical treasure, it just looks like an ordinary magical weapon.”
Liu Gongren observed the broken spiritual sword and asked a question.
“What’s the difference between the two?”
Zhao Huai inquired.
“Of course there is a difference.” Liu Gongren nodded and patiently explained, “In the beginning of the Ancient age, the human and demon races were born. At that time, the human race was the food of the demons, having no power to resist until the emergence of magical weapons. The human race finally gained the capital to protect itself. However, the number of magical weapons was limited and insufficient for use. Therefore, the human race studied for thousands of years and learned to forge magical weapons.”
“Immortal treasures are divided into one to nine stars, which Your Highness must be aware of. However, this just happens to be the grade of the forged magical weapons, not the grade of the spiritual treasures.”
“Magical weapons and spiritual treasures?” Zhao Huai asked with confusion.
“Yes, magical weapons are forged by human cultivators, incorporating a large number of skills and the will of the human race itself. In contrast, spiritual treasures are born of Heaven and Earth, naturally formed magical items, so their value is very high and extremely precious.”
“What is the difference between the two?”
Zhao Huai asked.
Liu Gongren smiled, “Human-crafted magical weapons have fixed grades. To improve the star level, one can only dissolve and recast them, or change to another. They are purely consumable items. However, spiritual treasures are different. They are the products of Heaven and Earth and can accompany cultivators to grow continually, becoming stronger when encountering stronger forces, being able to improve their grade on their own.”
“The only drawback is that it’s difficult to come across the suitable spiritual treasures. It’s quite random, unlike magical weapons, which can be forged as needed.
“So that’s how it is. It turns out that a cultivator only needs one spiritual treasure.” Zhao Huai suddenly nodded, seemingly understanding the difference between the two.
“Not necessarily. Those with great opportunities can have multiple spiritual treasures to protect their bodies, something envied by others.”
Liu Gongren gave a wry smile, then continued, “Life-bound magical treasures are different again. They have both the advantages of magical weapons and the superiority of spiritual treasures. Life-bound magical treasures can continuously strengthen as a cultivator’s cultivation increases, and since it is forged by the cultivator themselves, they can choose the style they need.”
Zhao Huai’s eyes lit up. He undoubtedly needed a handy life-bound magical treasure at the moment, but after thinking about it, he laughed lightly, “Such useful life-bound magical treasures must be difficult to obtain.”
There is balance in everything in the world. If something has advantages and disadvantages, excels in one area, there will certainly be a very high bottleneck in other areas.
“That’s right. It takes a huge price to forge a life-bound magical treasure. The materials are expensive, and the forging difficulty is high. Having wealth is not enough; you also need luck. At the very least, one needs to sublime an innate spiritual treasure. This alone discourages many cultivators.” Liu Gongren stroked his beard and smiled.
“Elder, have you said all this just to discourage me from trying?”
Zhao Huai gave a bitter smile.
“Hehehe!”
Liu Gongren laughed and said, “Of course not. Nowadays, the deeds of the Crown Prince of Yan are everywhere in the Immortal Cultivation World. Now that I see Your Highness’s strength, I realize that the Spiritual Mountain should invite you to come.”
Zhao Huai raised his eyebrows, “Didn’t the Immortal Sects always emphasize not interfering in the Mortal World and not asking about the Immortal Sects?”
“As Your Highness can see now, the devil cultivators’ interference in the Mortal
World is increasingly unstoppable, reaching the edge of collapse. If the
Immortal Sects continue to sit idly by, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?”
“Rules are dead, but people are alive. The Immortal Sects are not rigid. The Ten Swordsmen in front of the Spiritual Mountain are the best signal.” Zhao Huai pondered for a while and calmly said:
