Chapter 237

– Chaos Rises In The East Barren With His Return
Zhong Yue was extremely surprised and happy, and he quickly grabbed the Golden Feathery Peng Sword. The power contained in the sword would no longer harm him, as the untamed power was now hidden in the sword.
He swung the sword around happily, slicing the air open and splitting the sea apart.
Still too big and too light for me, turn smaller and heavier!
The sword then shifted its size as Zhong Yue wished, turning from twenty feet long to one foot long, and from as light as air to a few thousand pounds.
The new size of the sword was not heavy nor light, and it fit to Zhong Yue’s preferences accurately. With this, Zhong Yue was able to move freely without worrying that the size of the sword would hinder his actions.
With the sword in his hands, Zhong Yue casually moved around and performed a little sword dance to test the sword. As he felt the untamed power hidden in the sword, he felt extremely happy and thought to himself, This sword is literally a godly weapon…. No… It is one of the best even among the godly weapons!
The sword could shift size according to his will, which made it far superior to the Fang Blade Zhong Yue had yet to cultivate to the same level as the Golden Feathery Peng Sword.
And this Golden Feathery Peng Sword could shift size as he wished, making it one of the rarest items he had ever seen!
Larger, larger, larger!
Zhong Yue hurled the sword upwards and commanded it to enlarge. In the midair, the sword became longer and larger, before it finally reached the size of three thousand feet tall vertically and stopped growing after that.
From afar, the sword looked incredibly huge, and Zhong Yue was even smaller than an ant if compared to the sword. When Zhong Yue tried to swing the sword by lifting it up, he learned it was incredibly stamina-consuming, and quickly ordered it to turn back to the one-foot long size.
Heavier, heavier, heavier!
Zhong Yue then made the sword heavier to an extent that he couldn’t even carry it. Then, the sword became even heavier than mountains and the ocean.
What was the maximum weight of the sword?
As soon as he thought of this, the Golden Feathery Peng Sword became incredibly heavy and after a bone-cracking noise, his arms were dislocated byto the sudden change in weight of the sword. Then, he started to fall down from the sky like a meteor, and plunged straight into the bottom of the ocean and was buried by the sand.
Good! Good!
Zhong Yue ordered to sword to return to the weight he desired and when he shot out from the sea, he shouted,
Smaller, smaller, smaller!

The Golden Feathery Peng Sword then reduced itself to the size of a normal feather and stopped changing after that, making Zhong Yue happy. When he tossed the feather upwards, the five wheels emerged from his back and his Dao Yi Wheel absorbed the feather into it.
No wonder it is part of the saint weapon! If I could extract all the feathers from the Divine Wing Saber, I could easily create a Infinity Sword Array with the many Golden Feathery Peng Swords on the Divine Wing Saber.
Unfortunately, the power of the Divine Wing Saber was still too strong for him, and he had yet to cleanse the soul brandings of the Kun Peng Race from the sword. He was unable to do anything about the Divine Wing Saber, and most things related to this weapon would be nothing more than just mere dreams.
The only reason Zhong Yue managed to retrieve this Peng feather, which was also the Golden Feathery Peng Sword, was because the Pan Long Sword had destroyed the power and broken the totem carvings on this feather. That in turn shattered the soul brandings of the Kun Peng Race. With that, Zhong Yue was able to soul brand the Golden Feathery Peng Sword.
If Zhong Yue were to remove the soul brandings of the Kun Peng Race, he would most definitely face problems that he would not be able to overcome at his current level. Maybe only the gods could wipe away the soul brandings right now. Besides, the gods from the other races might not even be able to do that, as the Divine Wing Saber was after all the saint weapon of the Kun Peng Race. If the soul brandings could be removed so easily, then the dragon God would have removed them long ago.
This half of the Divine Wing Saber is indeed a troublesome yet powerful item that I couldn’t bring myself to discard it or convince myself to not take it. How to deal with this weapon is very problematic, but I think Xin Huo has a way to remove the soul brandings of the Kun Peng Race on this sword? Too bad Xin Huo has depleted his energy helping me this time, I wonder when will he wake up again….
He then looked at the weathered bronze lamp in worry. The little flame dude on the lamp pith was very dark and he might not be able to wake up without sleeping for another month or two.
My original identity as Zhong Yue will use the Golden Feathery Peng Sword as my weapon, while my identity as Long Yue will use the Fang Blade. With that, my two identities will have a different weapon each for themselves!
—
Zhong Yue then left that place, heading towards the East Barren across the sea water. Although the Fang Blade was inferior to the Golden Feathery Peng Sword, it was still very important to him as it was, after all, forged with the god bones. If he cultivated it to a higher level, the Fang Blade could also be considered one of the top soul weapons!
Soul weapons were forged from various materials, but the truly top class soul weapons were nourished and cultivated by Qi Practitioners day and night, carving all sort of totems onto the soul weapons until one day their soul weapons could morph into different sizes and weights as their owners desired.
All of the ten malefic weapons of Swords Gate were soul weapons of that level, the same level that Zhong Yue wished to cultivate his Fang Blade to.
Of course, the ten malefic weapons of Swords Gate possessed other dangerous elements that could be extremely deadly, which even the Qi Practitioners of Swords Gate could not handle.
With that said, Zhong Yue’s Fang Blade would not be as strong as the ten malefic weapons even if he cultivated it to such a level. But, he still had a long way to go until then. Right now, the most important thing for him to do was to cultivate his Fang Blade step by step.

A day after Zhong Yue left the glacier continent, the dragons of the Eastern Sea arrived in. the same place, the elder dragons turning into their human form. Those elders were the five Clan Masters and the elders of the five clans. They started to look around carefully, showing serious expressions.
And in the air, the other dragons coiled around, while some of them dove into the water to look for clues and traces.

The aura of the Divine Wing Saber!


And the smell of the sea races from the Wood Celestial Star!


Those are some of their carcasses, the Red Mother Colonial Anemones!

The dragons searching around immediately found the traces left behind, and quickly reported to the Clan Masters and elders. Then, an elder from the Li Clan said,
The Kun Peng Race’s Qi Practitioner escaped with the Divine Wing Saber back then, but who knew he would hide here? Judging by the scene, the Qi Practitioner must have put down the Red Mother Colonial Anemone Array to guard him while he healed himself, but it looks like someone else caught up to him and looted the Divine Wing Saber after killing him!


This someone must be a terrifying existence! He may even be a god!

The entire few thousand miles around the scene were ravaged completely. To be able to do that, one had to possess power stronger than any mere normal beings or Qi Practitioners, a power that was at least as strong as a god!
The Ao Clan’s Clan Master shouted,
Where is Zhang Qianli?

A huge octopus suddenly emerged from the sea with its eight tentacles spread wide open. The huge meaty tentacles swung across the sky, the suckers on the tentacles seeming way too eerie.
Then, the octopus curled two of its tentacles together, mimicking the gesture of how people greeted each other as it said,
Your wish is my command, Clan Master Ao.

Clan Master Ao then said,
Your sense of smell is the strongest among all the creatures in the ocean. Try sampling the scents around here and see if you can identify the parties involved in the battle that happened here. Such a godly level battle that caused such destruction will definitely leave behind a huge amount of traces.


Yes, my lord!
replied the octopus.
The huge octopus then dove back into the water, where its suckers started to absorb and filter the seawater around it as it tried to gather information about the battle. It had over eight hundred suckers, and each sucker was like a mouth. With those eight hundred-plus suckers, it could identify over eight hundred pieces of information at a time, which was why he was the best among all the sea races.
Zhang Qianli informed them,
There was rotten flesh smell a day ago, and the scent of the Red Mother Colonial Anemones. Other than that, there were also the twenty-three magnate figures from the Kun Peng race, a god’s aura along with another Dragon God’s aura. There was also a junior dragon beside that Dragon God.


Dragon God?

The five Clan Masters shouted shockingly,
Why is there the scent of a Dragon God?

The Clan Masters and the elders looked at each other, seeing nothing more than disbelief in each other’s eyes. Although the dragons were powerful and they had numerous hidden powerful figures dwelling in the many secret realms located in the Eastern Sea, things just went from normal to incredibly strange when the dragons failed to notice the presence of a Dragon God during the battle.
Zhang Qianli then replied humbly,
I am sure that there was the scent of a Dragon God, and judging from the incredible aura hidden in the scent, this Dragon God is an ancient being that existed long ago.

The reply of Zhang Qianli confused the Clan Masters and elders even further, and they all remained silent for a moment. Then, the Yu Clan’s Clan Master broke the silence as he clapped his hands and ordered the remaining dragons to search for more tracks and traces. The Clan Masters then proceeded to discuss,
Legend says that there are still some Dragon Gods that live in the Eastern Sea, but no one has ever seen any of them. Thus, no one was able to confirm the legend. Could it be that there really are Dragon Gods that live in the Eastern Sea, and one of these ancestors of ours killed the Kun Peng Race’s Qi Practitioner and took the Divine Wing Saber?


Zhang Qianli also smelled the aura of the twenty-three Kun Peng Race’s magnate Qi Practitioners, and the aura of a Kun Peng Race’s godly spirit. Seems like the Kun Peng Race started a ritual in the Wood Celestial Star to summon the Divine Wing Saber back, but they were stopped by this ancestor, thus resulting in a destructive battle.


Seems like that is the case. I wonder if the Dragon God managed to obtain the Divine Wing Saber from the Kun Peng Race.

They all had their own guesses, but little did they know that the Dragon God scent Zhang Qianli smelled was the scent of the Beast God inner core, which was the inner core of the Xiang Dragon. The inner core of the Beast God was used by Zhong Yue to stimulate the weathered lamp, and that was why there was such a strong aura left behind, as if the god had descended there himself.

After another ten days or so, Zhong Yue finally got out of the Eastern Sea and set foot again on the East Barren. He finally felt relieved, as he was worried that he would be stopped by the dragons, and with that, more problems would arise.
After all, what he was doing was almost the same as stealing the fangs of a tiger under its watch. There were just way too much ruckus caused by the battle over the possession of the Divine Wing Saber, and the dragons would definitely send people to investigate. If he encountered any of them, he would definitely be stopped by the dragons and then, there would be more unnecessary problems.
Other than that, Chi Liannu has even murdered a Jiao Dragon. How would the Jiao Dragons let it go, just like that? My title as the lord of East Barren given by the dragons would even further add salt to injuries, and the Jiao Dragons would definitely use this in order to maximize their profits.
He took out the soul lantern of Qing He. After he located the position of Qing He, he thought, Qing He and the others are now in East Barren as well, but they are far ahead of me, as I’m in the north while they are in the south. I might as well just met them in Gu Xia City instead, as it is too far and too late for me to meet up with them where they are now.
Zhong Yue then headed towards the center of the East Barren, where Xian Kong Saint City was located.
He then started to build up his aura as he walked, showing a sheer will that even the heaven could not shake!
I previously got to the Eastern Sea by relying on the help of Gu Hongzi, Shi Buyi, Chi Liannu, and the others. This time, I want to see who dares to touch me again!
Zhong Yue then thought, Blood will be shed from here all the way to Xian Kong Saint City. But from Xian Kong Saint City to Gu Xia City, there will be no more bloodshed, as those who dare to pursue me will be killed by me!
