Chapter 136: The Disastrous Godly Phoenix Egg, The Emperor Weapon Sacred Emerald Sword Case

“The Hundred Swords Spectrum? Sounds interesting. However, does it have any legitimacy to it?” Chu Kuangren asked curiously.

The most important factor when publishing a list of renowned swords was the recognition it would gain from the world. Otherwise, such a list would be nothing but a public joke.

“The Feng Family has been studying and garnering information for many years now. Aside from information of Sages, the Feng Family has a thorough understanding of many famous swords and swordsmen. This list is almost guaranteed to be legitimate.”

“Hmm, then I shall look forward to it,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.

After conversing for half a day, Li Xingchen then took his leave.

Outside.

Li Xingchen’s body emitted a flash of light as a white-robed elder materialized into existence. “Xingchen, there’s definitely more to your friend than meets the eye.”

“Of course, Brother Chu is one of the most remarkable sky-prides of this generation.”

“It’s not only that but every time you meet him, I always have a feeling like I’m being watched and I’m forced to carefully conceal my aura to avoid his detection.”

“What? Can Brother Chu actually sense your existence?”

Li Xingchen was surprised.

After all, his teacher was the Remnant Spirit of a Battle Monarch. Even a Supreme Honourable would not be able to detect his presence, so Chu Kuangren could do that?!

“I don’t know either, but this person’s definitely not simple. I would rather face a Supreme Honourable in battle than to face him.”

“Teacher, you’re worrying too much now. Brother Chu is my friend and you’re my teacher, such battle would never happen in the first place.”

Li Xingchen said with a smile.

“Let’s hope that’s true.” Unknown to Li Xingchen, a troubled look flashed across the white-robed elder’s eyes.

…

In his room, Chu Kuangren was planning to study the sword case that he had gotten from the Sword Hoarder.

However, when he peeped into his inventory through his Yin and Yang Ring, he was shocked to see the soulstones that he had amassed reduced into a pile of useless cobbles. All their spiritual energies had been sucked dry.

Meanwhile, the fiery red Godly Phoenix Egg was lying amid the stone pile. The surface of the shell radiated brightly with a stream of mythical Daoist Rhymes.

Chu Kuangren was now dumbfounded.

Did the Godly Phoenix Egg just absorb all the spiritual energies from the soulstones?!

Damn it! There was at least more than ten million worth of soulstones in there. Was this rotten egg some sort of a prodigal pet?!

Not only his soulstones, but several other herbal ingredients and even the Stone of Phoenix Blood that Chu Kuangren had just acquired yesterday were drained of their spiritual energies too.

Chu Kuangren was so mad that his mouth twitched. He immediately took the Godly Phoenix Egg out and slammed it onto the ground. Due to the sudden change of environment, the Godly Phoenix Egg spun on the ground a few times as if it was panicking.

However, upon noticing Chu Kuangren, it immediately settled down and leaped around onto Chu Kuangren’s lap, communicating its friendliness and reliance through a vague form of telepathy.

Chu Kuangren was still unhappy. He placed the Godly Phoenix Egg on the table and said grumpily, “Who gave you the permission to suck on all the soulstones and herbs?”

The Godly Phoenix Egg slanted a little and used its telepathy to communicate with Chu Kuangren. Although the message was not the clearest, Chu Kuangren could roughly gauge its meaning.

Godly Phoenix Egg: Papa, I’m hungry, I want to eat.

Chu Kuangren replied, “So fast after devouring so much spiritual energy? Are you a Godly Phoenix or an Avarice?”

Godly Phoenix Egg: It’s still not enough. What’s an Avarice? Is it edible?

Chu Kuangren, “You @*+#&-…”

Godly Phoenix Egg: ???

Chu Kuangren was helpless the moment he realized that the Godly Phoenix Egg could not comprehend his insult at all.

The Godly Phoenix Egg once again burrowed itself into Chu Kuangren’s embrace as its warm eggshell nudged him constantly. Although it could not understand Chu Kuangren’s insults, it could still sense his dissatisfaction and was using such a method to fawn over him.

“Fine, I’m not mad anymore.”

Chu Kuangren sighed helplessly.

Was it not just ten million soulstones?

Was it not just some precious herbal materials from some Honourables?

Was it not just some Sage Grade ores?

If they were gone then so be it. What else could he do with his child?

He had no choice but to raise it.

Chu Kuangren hugged the Godly Phoenix Egg and transferred his spiritual energy to it. This time, unlike this morning, it was no longer crazy for his energy. It probably was already full at that point.

Upon placing the Godly Phoenix Egg back into his Yin and Yang Ring, Chu Kuangren contemplated deeply.

Caring for the Godly Phoenix Egg proved to be a much tougher task than he first imagined. After all, it was a God Tier Pet, so the energy required to sustain it was too much.

“I need to find a way to earn my soulstones now.” Chu Kuangren had never needed to worry about such issues, but the situation was different now. He had to put in the extra effort to feed his new pet.

Putting this issue aside, Chu Kuangren then began to inspect the sword case before him.

He first tried to channel his spiritual energy into the sword case.

Suddenly, the sword case shook for a moment as the symbols that were engraved on the case shone brightly, releasing an enigmatic burst of Daoist Rhymes.

Before Chu Kuangren could further study the sword case in detail, it immediately transformed into a ray of light and entered Chu Kuangren’s spiritual mound.

Within Chu Kuangren’s spiritual mound laid not only the Five Supreme Foundation Levels, but it was also the home to his Descendant Self Sword. As if it had sensed the presence of an unwelcome guest, the Descendant Self Sword immediately released a thick stream of sword qi in response to the sword case’s arrival.

However, the sword case immediately counteracted it with its enigmatic Daoist Rhymes, and the once fearsome Self Descendant Sword recollected its sword qi.

A gut feeling rose in Chu Kuangren and he began to interpret the Daoist Rhymes of the sword case.

Eventually, he understood everything.

“This is actually an Emperor Weapon!”

“Sacred Emerald Sword Case!”

Chu Kuangren was glowing with delight. The origin of the Sacred Emerald Sword Case dated back to the times of an ancient Sword Emperor. Although it did not have remarkable offensive abilities, it possessed magical abilities to store and upgrade sword weapons.

All cultivators possessed an inherent ability to refine and upgrade their weapons, so their weapons would naturally be enhanced each time their cultivation base improved.

Yet the Sacred Emerald Sword Case was capable of magnifying such occurrences. One would not even need to improve his or her cultivation base to enjoy the ability to enhance their sword weapons.

For example, weapons were typically classified into ordinary sacred weapons, Sage Weapons, and Sage Ruler Weapons. While an ordinary cultivator could typically only refine a sacred weapon, he could leverage on the Sacred Emerald Sword Case to refine his weapon into a Sage Weapon.

Besides, since most cultivators had limited spiritual strengths, they would only be able to refine three weapons at most. However, with the help of the Sacred Emerald Sword Case, every weapon that was stored within it could be upgraded.

Most people only had one sword, and once that was damaged, they had to exhaust their spiritual energies to refine and repair their one and only weapon

However, if Chu Kuangren damaged his sword, there were still ninety-nine other swords that he could immediately draw.

“Looks like the Sword Hoarder has left me a really grand gift.”

Chu Kuangren smiled.

Emperor Weapons were said to possess their own consciousness and would not easily recognize someone as its master. Although the Sword Hoarder had physically possessed the Sacred Emerald Sword Case, he could only carry it on his back like any other ordinary sword case. There was no way the Sword Hoarder could store it into his spiritual mound.

It was until the Sacred Emerald Sword Case met Chu Kuangren that it immediately acknowledged Chu Kuangren as its rightful master despite his lack of effort in refining it.

The moment Chu Kuangren stored his Descendant Self Sword into the Sacred Emerald Sword Case, the sword case immediately released a surge of mythical Daoist Rhymes that wrapped itself around the sword.

…

At a random corner in Sword Prayer City.

The Sword Hoarder was meditating on his bed. It was after a while before he finally opened his eyes that burned with hatred. “Chu Kuangren, you’ve taken my sword case away. And for that, I shall make you pay!”

“Now that the weapon is gone, I can no longer wield the Thousand Army Sword Formation. Looks like I’ll need to find myself another pile of sword weapons. Damn it! I spent half my life on the sword collection and it was robbed from me just like that!”

“Meanwhile, that two b*stards who’ve agreed to kidnap the Sword Soul with me have yet to appear. This is pissing me off!”

Just as the Sword Hoarder was complaining, a black longsword materialized in his hands. Bright red symbols were inscribed on its blade as it radiated a terrifying aura.

It was an Ominous Sword!

“Troop-Breaker Ominous Sword, my only refined sword. I shall trust you to get me the Sword Soul,” the Sword Hoarder murmured.
