Reforging the Xuan Heavy Ruler proved more difficult than Mo Tang had imagined.
At first, Mo Tang planned to use earth fire to forge it, but a full month passed without any result...
Mo Tang was so frustrated he was scratching his head.
It seemed this thing was a type of material called Flamefall Xuan Iron, not only incredibly hard but also extremely resistant to fire...
In desperation, Mo Tang tried using his Destruction Thunder Flame, managing to smelt it briefly.
But that was enough; as long as it could be smelted, Mo Tang could change its shape.
However, while the Flamefall Black Iron was heavy and had good conductivity for battle qi, it lacked sharpness. Therefore, Mo Tang selected several auxiliary materials from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, such as Purple Thunder Crystal and Wind Spirit Stone. Mo Tang also inlaid an eighth-order lightning attribute magic core at the end of the hilt...
After some modifications, the original thick, black Xuan Heavy Ruler had disappeared, replaced by a long, narrow, purple sword.
Purple Cloud Silver Moon—that's the name Mo Tang gave this sword.
It was named for its gradually whitening blade and the purple lightning patterns on the hilt.
Mo Tang wielded it; although this sword was technically a long sword, its size was incomparable to the previous shield-like Xuan Heavy Ruler, but its weight was not reduced at all, and had even increased slightly.
Most importantly, this sword could not only withstand his fully unleashed Wind and Thunder Qi, but it also significantly enhanced his own Qi, which was quite terrifying.
Why do so few people use weapons once they reach the Dou Zong realm or higher? It's because their own Qi is too violent, and with the characteristics of different attributes, finding a weapon that can withstand the Qi of a Dou Zong expert is extremely difficult.
Satisfied, Mo Tang put away his new toy and finally left the Earth Fire Mountain Range, returning to the Ten Thousand Thunder Tower.
However, to his surprise, he was caught red-handed by Thunder Venerable as soon as he came out.
"You brat, you still dare to come out!" Thunder Venerable said irritably.
Mo Tang smiled slightly, showing no remorse, and asked his teacher, "Oh, teacher, why are you back? What? Have you finished dealing with things in Ye City?"
Lei Zunzhe was immediately amused and pointed at Mo Tang, saying, "So you still care about things in Ye City!"
"You just left a huge mess and ran off, dumping all those trivial matters on me. Do you even know you're the head of the Four Directions Pavilion?"
Lei Zunzhe was clearly angry and dissatisfied with Mo Tang's irresponsible behavior.
Mo Tang could only force a smile and say, "It's just that you're so capable, Teacher..."
Lei Zunzhe shook his head helplessly and said, "Alright, I didn't come here to talk about this today."
"You've been concerned about the ancient ruins, haven't you...? I just received news that an ancient ruin in the Beast Domain seems to be showing signs of opening, so I came to tell you. ¤ (¯´☆✭.¸_)¤ ➅9şℍย𝓧.ςσΜ ¤(_¸.✭☆´¯) ¤"
Upon hearing this news, Mo Tang's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "It's finally starting!"
The news of these ancient ruins wasn't exactly a secret; after all, each opening caused quite a stir and attracted countless human and magical beast experts from the Central Continent.
Moreover, every time a ruin opened, many valuable items would flow out... such as Yao Lao's Burning Technique.
Of course, the reason it attracts so many powerful figures is because of the rumor that there are Heaven-Rank Battle Techniques within this ruin, so powerful figures from all the major forces in the Central Continent will go there to compete for them.
And every time the ruins open, it's accompanied by the fall of a large number of powerful figures…
Perhaps Mo Tang can even obtain a batch of Dou Zun-level corpses to improve his own cultivation.
Seeing Mo Tang's excited expression, Lei Zun Zhe spoke again: "How many people are you planning to take this time?"
Currently, this ancient ruin has attracted many powerful figures and forces from across the continent, and it's already within the Beast Domain. Even if you manage to obtain treasures from inside by chance, bringing them out won't be an easy task…
Lei Zun Zhe had once ventured into that ancient ruin, and he remembered the carnage—a bloodbath where countless Dou Zong and Dou Zun experts perished; the scene was incredibly brutal and bloody.
Mo Tang thought for a moment and said, "We don't need too many people. Just let Little Fairy Doctor come with me; any more would be a burden..."
This made Lei Zun Zhe's eyes widen.
What? Is he already starting to think we old guys aren't strong enough?!
Well, that's exactly what Mo Tang meant...
After all, he had Bi Wu by his side, and he himself was a high-level Dou Zun, so bringing Little Fairy Doctor along was enough.
During this time, Little Fairy Doctor first stayed in Ye City, and then returned to Luo Shen Ravine after the establishment of the Four Directions Pavilion. In such a long time, she had probably made another breakthrough.
Combined with the characteristics of the Calamity Poison Body, Mo Tang guessed that Little Fairy Doctor now possessed the combat power of a four-star Dou Zun.
That was enough!
"I wonder if the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will get involved again this time... If we encounter them, I can recruit them to help."
After all, with his status and strength, as long as it's not the Three Phoenixes, he can make use of them.
...
...
On the way to the Beast Domain, Bi Wu was explaining some things to Mo Tang and Little Fairy Doctor.
"Ancient ruins, as the name suggests, are things that have been passed down from ancient times.
And those that can still leave traces after the passage of time must have had an owner who was no ordinary person...
Judging from the news that has spread about the ruins that have appeared in the Beast Domain this time, the owner may be a peak expert at the Dou Sheng level...
Even if such an expert is dead, we must not be careless. If we are not careful, we may fall into their trap.
In fact, if someone is powerful enough, they may have some secret method to preserve their soul, and they may even be able to possess another's body...
So, we must be careful!"
Mo Tang nodded slightly, agreeing with Bi Wu's words.
Judging from the location, this ancient ruin should be the same one that appeared in the original work, so Mo Tang is fairly familiar with the situation inside.
That Creation Saint had attached his soul to the corpse, and even managed to unleash a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique, directly annihilating most of the powerful figures present.
"Right, in the original work, the Soul Hall also had powerful figures arrive this time, wanting to compete for the Battle Saint's remains… It seems I'll have to directly confront these guys!"
Mo Tang has always avoided direct conflict with the Soul Hall.
However, with the establishment of the Four Directions Pavilion, Yun Yun's control of the Flower Sect, and his own gain of Huang Tian's support, Mo Tang feels he no longer needs to fear the Soul Hall.
Besides, it's just a Battle Saint's remains; the Soul Hall probably won't directly send Battle Saint experts to confront him. So for now, he only needs to contend with the Soul Hall's Heavenly Venerables and Elders. I've been working
on this manuscript for the past two days and my head is aching. I'll only be posting two chapters today to give my brain a rest…
