C1313 The real reason
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
With a leap, Qin Shaojie appeared right in the center of the magma. Although the surrounding magma continued to explode, splashing out for several tens or even hundreds of meters, these could not harm Qin Shaojie in the slightest. Under the protection of the power of the stars, the magma was merely water that was slightly higher in temperature.
When he reappeared, Qin Shaojie was in the air above what seemed like a fire poker. If one looked carefully, he would be able to barely see that this part was a part of the sword hilt. Unfortunately, this part of the blade had become pitch-black because of the passage of time or perhaps because of the magma that had burned it for tens of millions of years. One could only vaguely see some rust on the blade and barely be able to distinguish that it was a sword hilt.
No wonder Zhuo Li and his men called it Rust Sword.
Moreover, the temperature and the fire poison within the entire volcano had reached a level where even a Saint would be threatened. It was likely because of an inseparable connection with this so-called Golden Crow Sword. Thinking about that, Qin Shaojie turned to Wu Xin who was beside him and asked.
He was a smart person, so he naturally knew that Zhuo Li did not have the heart to tell him everything he knew. He still had more secrets to hide!
That's right, the existence of the Golden Crow Sword itself was a rather powerful object. It wasn't that the magma affected him, but that he bestowed a different kind of energy to the magma. As he stared at the hilt of the Golden Crow Sword, which he had not touched for over a hundred thousand years, a familiar smell once again gushed out.
Back then, the Golden Crow Sword was left behind by the Great Demon King, and as for its origins, no one was clear. Even though the Great Demon King created it himself, one thing was certain: the Golden Crow Sword was extremely powerful, to a level where not even the Great Demon King could ignore its sharpness. One had to know that the Great Demon King was completely invincible above the Tian Yuan Continent. And this state made the Great Demon King feel extremely lonely.
It was a sharp weapon that even the great demon king feared. One could imagine how powerful it was. This was also the true reason why he was not willing to reveal too much information regarding the Golden Crow Sword in the beginning. If Zhuo Li knew, no one would be sure that he could suppress the restlessness in his heart.
Everything was just as the three sect masters had been curious about at the beginning. Why a mere sword could cause the Nine-headed Snake to be so concerned, was not only because he said it could restrain it. More importantly, this sword could break through the Great Devil King's defense! One must know that the great demon king was even more powerful than the Nine-headed Snake. He was a true supreme expert!
The most powerful weapons in the world were known as saint artifacts, but no matter how powerful they were, they had a limited amount of damage to saints.
However, the Golden Crow Sword was able to affect and injure the Venerable One and pose a fatal threat to the Nine-headed Snake. No one knew that it was impossible to produce a divine weapon of this level, at least above the Tian Yuan Continent. This was also the reason why he had unintentionally said that he would obtain the Golden Crow Sword even if he had to pay a hefty price!
With the Golden Crow Sword, Qin Shaojie had the ability to contend with or even kill the Nine-headed Snake in the future. This sharp sword could cut apart the Nine-headed Snake's defense, injure him, bleed him out, and even keep him alive here.
The Nine-headed Snake knew this very well, which was why he was willing to use this sort of exchange to acquire the Golden Crow Sword. Not to mention a year, even if he had to wait another three to five years or even request an even more excessive amount of money, he would still agree to it.
Even though Qin Shaojie was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. It was obvious that he did not expect the Golden Crow Sword to reach such a low level.
When he looked at the rusty sword hilt, his expression changed drastically. If this news were to spread, the entire world would probably be in turmoil!
Why didn't the Nine-headed Snake attack personally? After all, this concerned his life and death in the future? However, if it was really as important as what Wu Xin had said, the Nine-headed Snake would definitely ignore everything even if this place was within the magma inside the volcano. This time, Qin Shaojie looked at Thoughtless, he knew that Thoughtless must not have told him the truth. The so-called cold constitution was just an excuse. The real reason was not just because of the cold constitution!
After all, this was a matter that could potentially affect the life and death of the Nine-headed Snake! He definitely could not just sit there and watch!
Indeed, physical fitness and his weakness were only two of the reasons, and not the most important one at that. The most important reason was that once the Golden Crow Sword sensed the aura of the Nine-headed Snake, then the Golden Crow Sword would definitely attack it! As he said this, Thoughtless' face revealed a trace of pride!
This kind of expression made Qin Shaojie tightly frown. It was clear that he was not clear about the meaning of Wu Xin's words.
The leaders of the three sects have already tested that the Golden Crow Sword did not give birth to intelligence. Since it is an ownerless object without intelligence, how can we talk about making a move?" Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he made a move, the Nine-headed Snake would not be afraid!
Back when I was battling the nine-headed serpent, I made use of this Golden Crow Sword. Unfortunately, in the end, it was still not a match for the Nine-headed Snake. However, it still suffered heavy injuries to the point where it had to sleep for hundreds of thousands of years. In this battle, aside from me, what he fears the most is this Golden Crow Sword. It could be said that the Golden Crow Sword had left an enormous shadow on him! He seemed to be recalling the past as he spoke slowly, word for word.
His voice was not loud, but there was a heavy feeling of history in his eyes. This memory also caused anxiety to appear on his face. Obviously, even though so many years had passed since that battle, it was still a huge blow to either the Nine-headed Snake or Thoughtless.
I was worried that the nine-headed monster would get its hands on the Golden Crow Sword, so I used the last bit of its power and even threw it out without hesitation! There was almost no restraint in the power of this swing, so even I didn't know where the Golden Crow Sword had gone to. However, I left a will within the Golden Crow Sword. If I sense the Nine-headed Snake's aura, then I'll kill it without a care!
As he sneered, Wu Xin spoke slowly. Back then, just how powerful was his strength? This bit of obsession had been deeply branded on the Golden Crow Sword and was impossible to erase. Although the Golden Crow Sword did not possess intelligence, it was still sharp and sturdy. Under the Nine Headed Snake's weakened state, if it were to come into contact with this trace of obsession, it would inevitably result in a great battle. At the very least, it seemed that the Golden Crow Sword, which had a trace of obsession back then, could cause further harm to the Nine-headed Snake.
The Nine-headed Snake naturally understood this point as well, so in the end, he could only give up and go find the Golden Crow Sword. And when he regained consciousness again, he found that he could no longer find the Golden Crow Sword.
Even after the three sects found the Golden Crow Sword, the Nine-headed Snake had been able to confirm that it was definitely the Golden Crow Sword. After all, through the eight headed snake's perception, he was basically certain that it was the sword. However, he was still unwilling to take the risk. He could not be sure if the Golden Crow Sword still had a sliver of obsession, and even more so, he could not be sure if the Golden Crow Sword had gained intelligence after so many years. Therefore, he needed someone to go and test it out, and it must be someone powerful that did.
It was obvious that the three sect masters were the best choice.
After all, the three sect leaders were all powerful and their methods were brilliant. If they took out the Golden Crow Sword, it would definitely be able to detect it immediately if it made a move. So the real reason was because he wanted to transfer the danger that existed within the Golden Crow Sword before he obtained it. Even if this risk was not enough to affect the Nine-headed Snake's life and death, he was still unwilling.
But why didn't he choose the Eight-headed Snake? The Eight-Headed Snake was even more reliable!
The Nine-headed Snake had a cautious personality. If that was the case, then he shouldn't have believed in the Three Sects, but should have chosen to believe in his Eight-Headed Snake instead. The appearance of the Eight-Headed Snake wouldn't have much of an impact even if it had died.2
This was because the three sects had sensed it. If they were to openly take away the Golden Crow Sword, it would definitely cause a barrier to appear between him and the three sects. Before they could find the heart of the continent, the three sects would still be of great use. Moreover, although the Eight-headed Snake was powerful, it was still far inferior to the leaders of the three sects. The Nine-headed Snake's calculations were not in an ordinary state. If it wasn't for the Nine-headed Snake's schemes, it wouldn't have been possible for it to have reached its current state.
But that was not important. What was important was who the heavens had bypassed. Tens of thousands of years later, he was still able to find the Golden Crow Sword.
However, the Nine-headed Snake did not expect that even under such circumstances, my obsession would not be able to continue existing within this Golden Crow Sword. Because right now, I simply can't feel the obsession that I left behind. In addition, this entire volcano had appeared because of the Golden Crow Sword. Looks like in these past few years, not only had the Golden Crow Sword not suffered any injuries, it had also become even more powerful than before …
As his gaze swept across his surroundings, even Wu Xin was surprised!
Even a Nine-headed Snake would find it hard to be sure. It was precisely because of this that the Nine-headed Snake was worried that its will still existed on the Golden Crow Sword, but reality proved that its aura had long since disappeared. Because even he was unable to sense it.
He did not expect that with a casual swing of his hand, he would actually throw the Golden Crow Sword deep into the lava. At this moment, he finally understood why there was no profound energy within a thousand miles radius.
Even though the Golden Crow Sword was in a peaceful slumber, it continued to absorb the surrounding profound energy. If it exceeded one hundred thousand more, this desert would probably spread out to over ten thousand kilometers. The lava itself was of the fire attribute and it could be refined for tens of thousands of years. The Golden Crow Sword was definitely powerful, but the Great Demon King once said that it was not the perfect state for the Golden Crow Sword. Clearly, the Golden Crow Sword had been using the magma in the volcano for years to continuously temper itself.
He absorbed the Sky and Earth aura and continued to destroy himself with the magma.
Moreover, this temperature and fire poison were only the feedback from the Golden Crow's sword after tempering, it could better conceal himself within the magma and protect the volcano from others. This kind of interdependent relationship did not mean that he had gained intelligence, but a pure natural reaction!
What you mean is, this Golden Crow Sword is even more powerful now?
Thinking of this possibility, Qin Shaojie's eyelids twitched!
That's right, that must be it! Although he could not feel how powerful the Golden Crow Sword was right now, he had no intention of believing his own intuition and judgement. Because the first time he had acquired the Golden Crow Sword, he had even thought that it was an ordinary sharp sword. The fact that he did not release any powerful aura fluctuations or pressure did not mean that he did not possess such strength!
Then what are we waiting for? I'll guard you, quickly take out the Golden Crow Sword!
Seeing that, Qin Shaojie's face also lit up, but to be able to cause more damage to the Nine-headed Snake, in his eyes, was extremely good news.
If I had been able to help, I would have. He rolled his eyes and said helplessly.
What do you mean?
If I make a move now, I'm afraid I will be wiped out entirely!
