Chapter 1142: The Secret of the Fire Dragon Sword

Once the Mystic Divine Palace left the Snow Region, Jiang Yi used Heaven Evasion. This time, they did not head to the East Imperial Continent. Instead, he headed straight for Sin Island.

Jiang Yi still wanted to seek revenge against the North Thearch, but he knew that he would not be able to kill the North Thearch now. Even if he managed to destroy the latter’s castle and spray the four regions of the Wu Clan with blood, it would mean nothing. He promised the Mystic Thearch that he would not kill unnecessarily. Thus, he had no choice but to suppress this desire for now. Once he was sure he was skilled enough, he would head back there and kill the Clan Head, Family Head, and all the leaders of the Wu Clan.

After he found out about Yi Piaopiao’s situation, Jiang Yi felt more stressed. This was nothing to the North Thearch. If he could break through the spatial zone to find Yi Piaopiao, killing the North Thearch would only take a little more effort. He was not that eager for now.

Su Ruoxue’s problem was much more urgent. If the mysterious talisman poison was allowed to enter her soul or cause her to lose her memory forever, Jiang Yi would live the rest of his life in pain.

This was what helped Jiang Yi decide to go to Sin Island first before heading to the Endless Deep Sea to find Ao Lu. He had already been away for several years. He missed Qian Wanguan, Feng Luan, and the others. The person that he was most worried about was Jiang Xiaonu who was still alone at the Endless Deep Sea.

The Mystic Divine Palace moved safely through the gap between space. The entire journey was peaceful, but Jiang Yi remained busy. He had no time to train or go through the heaven paintings that the Mystic Thearch left behind, much less to study the Fire Dragon Sword.

Each day, he transported himself in and out. He would visit Yin Ruobing, then Su Ruoxue, then Mo Yao’er. He did not dare to take Zhan Wushuang’s advice and put them all together. Yin Ruobing was born with a lot of pride. Su Ruoxue had lost her memory and was already guarded against him. Mo Yao’er was feeling lonely—this was the first time she was leaving the Snow Region to follow him around the world. She must have been feeling terrified and anxious. If Jiang Yi put these three women together, problems would soon arise.

Thus, he decided to visit them each in turn so that the three of them would feel at home. Yin Ruobing was doing a bit better. She was more independent than the other two. After staying with her for a few days, Jiang Yi decided to start looking at the heaven paintings. Su Ruoxue was doing better as well. After all, she had the Fifth Eldress with her. Mo Yao’er was the only one who was still doing poorly. She had just left Mo Shen and the Heaven Devil Mountain. It was natural to feel upset.

“Huff-huff...”

Jiang Yi had just come from Yin Ruobing’s place to find that Mo Yao’er was curled up in her bed, taking a nap. She seemed to be in deep sleep. He heaved a sigh and sat down cross-legged, watching her quietly.

This little demon girl’s temper had improved ever since she started following him. Perhaps she was really a grown-up now. She stopped throwing tantrums. Now, she looked like a sleeping beauty as she napped, sweet and peaceful.

Jiang Yi felt restless after sitting there for a while. He retrieved his Fire Dragon Sword. The Fire Dragon Sword swallowed the Mystic Divine Saber. He did not even have time to look more into this strange event. Now that he had some spare time, he decided to do just that.

The Mystic Divine Saber was a divine artifact. After swallowing it, the Fire Dragon Sword became much stronger than it. If he could completely understand and activate this sword, his battle power would be greatly improved. After all, in the past, the Mystic Thearch had used the Mystic Divine Saber to kill countless demons. At last, he used the very same saber to transcend through the spatial zone.

Buzz! Buzz!

Once he retrieved the Fire Dragon Sword, it began shaking uncontrollably. Afraid that he would wake Mo Yao’er up, Jiang Yi exited the room and went to a nearby hall. He tried to steady the sword with both of his hands but found that it only made the sword shake even more violently. For a moment, he felt like he had lost control of the sword.

A ball of essence force lit up in Jiang Yi’s hand. He used it to try and activate the Fire Dragon Sword, but his essence force would not enter the sword. This Fire Dragon Sword was not to be controlled by anyone. He frowned as he studied the three dragon patterns on the sword. A few minutes later, he still had nothing figured out.

Jiang Yi released his divine senses. The moment his divine senses came anywhere near the sword, it got cut off. He still could not see anything else. If he did not feel some sort of connection with this Fire Dragon Sword, he would not have believed that this was the weapon he had been using all these years.

“That’s right, the Union of Heaven and Man!”

Jiang Yi closed his eyes and entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. In this state, he could merge with heaven and earth and enter the Fire Dragon Sword. From there, he would find out what lay inside the sword. Finally, he discovered the problem!

“This... why have so many missing restrictions in the Fire Dragon Sword been filled? How can this be?”

Jiang Yi opened his eyes, astonished. The Fire Dragon Sword was the first thing that the Azure Dragon Empire bestowed upon him after the first Kingdom War. At that time, he discovered that there were a lot of missing restrictions in the sword. He thought that he had been taken advantage of.

He did not think that the Fire Dragon Sword and the Fire Spirit Pearl would merge so that the former’s power would be significantly improved. At the very least, it was comparable to saint artifacts. Now, it was even scarier. After swallowing the Mystic Divine Saber, not only was one more dragon pattern added to the Fire Dragon Sword, but some missing restrictions suddenly appeared as well.

The strength of a piece of battle equipment was dependent on the number of restrictive array formations inside it. Of course, high-level artifacts got their power from the artifact spirits inside them. The greatest ancient artifact drew their strengths from the dao patterns condensed within.

Jiang Yi did not even use the Fire Dragon Sword in recent years. This was because in the past, there were missing restrictions, no artifact spirit, and no dao presence condensed in the sword. Thus, the sword was pitifully weak. The body was there, but there was no power.

One needed to be a master in weapon refinement in order to fill up missing restrictions and array formations in a piece of equipment. After Jiang Yi escaped from Sin Island, he collected many weapons. Thus, he did not even think about fixing this Fire Dragon Sword.

He did not think that... almost half the restrictions in the Fire Dragon Sword had already been filled up.

Jiang Yi mulled over this for a long while. He began to doubt if he was mistaken. Once again, he entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and looked into the sword. After looking around for a while, he realized that he had not been mistaken. Only a small portion of the restrictions in the Fire Dragon Sword was present before. Now, about half the restrictions were present.

“Mm... that’s not right!”

After looking around for a little while longer, Jiang Yi felt a movement in his soul. He sensed something was stirring within the Fire Dragon Sword. It was like what he sensed in the Fire Cloud Armor before. Was there an artifact spirit here?

“There really is an artifact spirit!”

He focused on searching around and feeling for the spirit. Very quickly, he discovered that there indeed was an artifact spirit inside the Fire Dragon Sword. His eyes opened wide once again. He was even more shocked.

“Is this artifact spirit the Mystic Divine Saber’s? After the Fire Dragon Sword merged with the Mystic Divine Saber, it took the latter’s artifact spirit as well?” Jiang Yi mumbled to himself. He looked at the Fire Dragon Sword, which was still shaking in his hand as if trying to break free from its grip. This was so strange and mysterious.

Jiang Yi pondered deeply for a while. Suddenly, his eyes brightened. He was now sure of several things: first, the Fire Dragon Sword had improved for sure. It was now even better than the Mystic Divine Saber; otherwise, it would not have swallowed the divine artifact.

Second, the Fire Dragon Sword became much more powerful after swallowing the Fire Spirit Pearl before. Now that it had swallowed the Mystic Divine Saber as well, it must be even more powerful. What’s more, there was one more dragon pattern on its body; and there were more restrictions within. What did all of this mean?

This meant that the Fire Dragon Sword was not at its peak yet. It could still merge with other weapons and treasures in order to become even more powerful!

“Heavens!”

At that, Jiang Yi was thoroughly amazed. Yet, another huge question surfaced in his mind—if this sword was so formidable, why was it in Stellarsky Domain?
