Chapter 1430: Maelstrom Silver Dagger Sphere

Chapter 1430: Maelstrom Silver Dagger Sphere

About two hours passed.

Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord’s eyes were wide open as she communicated in silence with Nangong Wei.

From the look on her face, she seemed unwilling, but she too had her fill of worry and apprehension.

"How did the negotiations go?" Wu Yu asked.

Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord said: "The logic is as simple as can be. I can’t win her, and she can snatch the body at any time. Both of us can kill both of us. In such a situation, it’s either live together or die together. What other choice could I make?"

When she first entered the Floating Dreams Pagoda, she had a fiery temper. But after these milennia, Wu Yu had already worn her rough edges down. If it had been the same person as back then, she might have chosen to fight unto death. But now, faced with Wu Yu’s might, her pluck had vanished.

She knew that in terms of cultivation, Wu Yu was a real monster.

"There is nothing to be dissatisfied with. If not for the fact that you found it out, you would have died before long. You managed to win your life back." Wu Yu said.

Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord looked coldly at him. "Yes. You’re right. And so I hate you."

"It matters not. You were the one who harmed her first. You cannot blame anyone else."

"I cultivate the Ancestral Phoenix Nirvanic Venerable Art, the great art of heaven, it......"

"Enough with these morals and justice. It is meaningless. Both of us want us or those dear to us live on."

Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had nothing to say.

To think that this person had used her body so freely, she could not muster hate for Wu Yu. But to think that the person he cared about was not her, it made her heart ache.

But now she had won her life back. As painful as things were, at least she was still alive.

"From now on, let’s share the time. We will each have a month. If we choose to seclude and cultivate, we’ll count it separately. I have a new condition, and she has already agreed."

"What is it?"

"From today onwards, you are not to touch me." Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord said through clenched teeth.

Wu Yu laughed loudly. He had never touched her before, but he nodded. "No problem."

"I will follow you on the Great Void Immortal Path, but after it ends, we will return to Immortal Phoenix Imperial Realm. She will not meet often with you then. She merely wants to live, and does not have many requests."

These were probably the words that Nangong Wei had asked her to convey.

She would not remain by his side either. Wu Yu wanted to return to Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm, to fulfill his promise. To find the girl who was waiting for him.

Wu Yu had already seen this coming. Nangong Wei would not want to remain with him, and Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord of course would not agree either.

Naturally, these were but the details that came after. What was important was that they could co-exist.

"Don’t worry. I will do all that is within my power to give her a body that belongs to her." Wu Yu said.

Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord gave a dismissive laugh. "Don’t exaggerate. No one has ever been in our situation. There is only one immortal spirit, and it has never been heard of to split it. A new body is easily found, but our immortal spirits are conjoined. It is impossible."

Wu Yu too knew that this was a rare and unusual situation. It was much more difficult than Wu Yu’s promise to Ming Long to see her reborn.

However, he still held the hope.

Of course, this was why Wu Yu was actually relieved to see her go back to the Immortal Phoenix Imperial Realm.

"Another condition from her. After we return, we cannot reveal anything that happened here, including telling my mother about all that you have done to me. I also cannot send the eternal phoenix tribe after you, or she will immediately implode, and kill us both. This is her bottomline. As for my bottomline, you already know. No touching me."

The last one referred to her body.

She too had also come back from the edge of death. After the Great Void Immortal Path ended, she could return to the Immortal Phoenix Imperial Realm, and Nangong Wei was not particularly interested in having control of the body either. On the whole, besides mentally balking at having someone share her body and immortal spirit, this was still a much better outcome than death. She had also learned how to endure, after thousands of years of torture at Wu Yu’s hands.

With this, both of them consented to compromise, and the matter of Nangong Wei had reached a resolution.

Although it was not the ideal outcome, but if she could accept it, it was satisfactory. From now on, she would probably walk her own path.

"No matter which of us uses the body, the other person will be watching. Therefore, don’t think of doing anything while I’m not here." Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord warned again.

"Yes, yes. You’re really naggy." Wu Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry. After all, this was what Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord was most concerned about.

Only then did Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord seem at ease. Her attitude changed now, and she said: "She seems quite pitiful. After all, she’s my half-sister. If you don’t like her, don’t come chatting her up and using my body!"

Wu Yu was speechless......

"Looking at you makes me sick."

Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord fired another shot.

"I want to go out."

"In the remaining years, I suggest you don’t leave my side."

"Got it!"

Although she would not leave, but she did not want to stay in the Floating Dreams Pagoda either.

Of course, she would have to, in critical situations. After all, ghostly immortals from the entire Astral Hell would attack any immortal lord.

In the following days, he and Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord, and occasionally Nangong Wei, traversed Astral Hell. Wu Yu started to look for the other two. He had transformed into a ghostly immortal at this time.

"To think that you could change like that. Unbelievable. You even used Hundred Thousand Swords Immortal Lord and Snow Region Immortal Lord to trick me! Chifeng Immortal Lord, Qing Xuan Immortal Lord, it’s all you!" Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord finally understood.

The more she knew, the more fearful she was.

But if she wanted to live, she could not divulge these secrets.

After all, that was Nangong Wei’s bottomline.

"There is less than a decade left. Gu Huo Immortal Lord and Mo Yuji will start getting uneasy soon. How can I lure the two of them? The two of them must have immortal message talismans between them. They must be in touch, and yet on guard against each other. The two of them must be aiming to target me first."

"You’re hoping to get the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King?" Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord still respected Wu Yu’s abilities greatly in this regard.

"Hoping a little."

"When you get it, how about giving me the 9th Grade Mark of an Immortal King? After all, giving it to me is giving it to Nangong Wei. If I’m stronger, she’s stronger? Isn’t that wonderful?" To think that her mood had improved so much. She was now haggling for treasures by using Nangong Wei.

Wu Yu had not expected this request.

He only had one 9th Grade Mark of an Immortal King now. He would definitely leave it to Luo Pin, Full Moon of Nanshan, or Ye Xixi.

These were the people who were dearest to him.

If Wu Yu could get the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King, he would at least try to win 9th Grade Marks of an Immortal King for htem.

"No hurry now. We’ll talk about it next time."

"Hmph. So you’re thinking of giving it to that female dragon. It’s so clear who’s more important to you. Trash!" Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord was very harsh on Wu Yu.

She was starting to speak up on Nangong Wei’s behalf. After all, she did not know that Wu Yu and Nangong Wei had spent all this time without anything happening between them.

Wu Yu ignored her. But if there was a need, he would also find one for Nangong Wei.

After all, the Great Void Immortal Path had not yet ended yet.

There were but 10 years left, and he was racking his brains for a way to get the other two rainbow pearls that Gu Huo Immortal Lord and Mo Yuji had.

After all, compared to the aimless searching of others, he had some bait with him.

After a few months, something unexpected happened.

He was on a star, when he heard everyone discussing some breaking news. Most of the ghostly immortals on the star immediately rushed madly in that direction.

Near a star called Monsoon Star, an epochal immortal design had appeared, which looked like the Prismatic Thunderball.

It was said that this epochal immortal design was of the exact same scale as the Prismatic Thunderball, and had appeared suddenly.

Its name was the Maelstrom Silver Dagger Sphere.

It was also a huge sphere, and said to be a dense sphere of silver windblades. These looked similar to real blades, and there were billions of them, forming a sphere the size of the Prismatic Thunderball. It held a powerful storm within!

It had caused Monsoon Star to be surrounded by powerful storms.

"Another one?"

This had caught Wu Yu off guard.

"I had thought that getting the other two rainbow pearls would secure the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King!"

"But Jade Emperor seems to be upping the stakes! Another epochal immortal design now? That means there must be more pieces of the puzzle within. So it’s not just three?"

"Gu Huo Immortal Lord and Mo Yuji would have been caught off guard as well. The two of them will definitely come."

But Wu Yu was not worried. After all, he had many tricks up his sleeve. Besides, he felt that the ghostly immortals would not get these treasures so easily either. It would definitely be a bit more favored towards the immortal lords. If they did not have any advantage, the immortal lords would be completely unable to compete with the ghostly immortals.

After all, there were hundreds of ghostly kings watching vigilantly, and also many ghostly lords who had come from the other hells.

"Seems like the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King has many twists and turns to it. The Prismatic Thunderball is gone, and now the Maelstrom Silver Dagger Sphere. Who will be able to get the important objects this time? Could it be that in the remaining 10 years, another few groups of people will fight? Only the one who manages to gather all of them will obtain the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King?"

The difficulty had been stepped up again.

And at this level of difficulty, who could possibly guarantee that they could get it all? For example, if Wu Yu simply hid and did not allow anyone to find him, then the Great Void Immortal Path contest would end without anyone walking away with it?
