Nine Yang Sword Saint

Chapter 82: Two Items!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Master, what are the two items that I need?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“The first item is the supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword,” Dongfang Niemie said. “Only the supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword is capable of piercing through the Millennium Owl’s outer hide.

The supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword is forged by using 999 pieces of Bloody Black Gold.

“Ahh....” Yang Dingtian screamed out of frustration. This was too difficult. However, he then thought of uncle Ximen’s soul sword, a supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword. He still had two and a half days before the Yin Yang Festival, and he would still make it if he went back to get it.

“You can’t do that,” Dongfang Niemie said. “It must be your own Bloody Black Gold Sword. There’s no doubt that your Uncle Ximen’s sword is a supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword, but no one can use the sword except for him. Regardless of who uses this soul sword, as long as it is not the owner himself, the sword soul inside will turn against the person using it until the person is killed. This is the reason that no one dares to touch that treasure sword. Otherwise, the entire world would go crazy fighting for his supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword.”

Yang Dingtian thought about it. Indeed, after Ximen Wuya got into trouble, many of the faces of the people in Cloud Sky City have changed. However, no one has ever shown their greed to possess his supreme Soul Sword.

This was too difficult! It must be his own Bloody Black Gold Sword, and Yang Dingtian had hidden most of his Bloody Black Gold with the lord of the abyss. Where else can he find a quality Bloody Black Gold Sword?

Suddenly, Yang Dingtian remembered something and asked, “Master, how about a Bloody Black Gold Soul Sword without an owner?”

Dongfang Niemie said, “That’s possible because we only need pure physical damage. As long as the sword is solid and sharp enough, it will do.”

Yang Dingtian said, “Zhao Wuji has a Bloody Black Gold Sword that he’d failed to cultivate. It is a quality sword forged from 99 pieces of Bloody Black Gold.”

“It is a Bloody Black Gold Sword made out of only 99 pieces. It is truly a little less than we need,” Dongfang Niemie said. “Of course, if this Millennium Owl has been injured before, then its old wound would be its weakest spot. But I won’t be able to guarantee that this quality of sword is capable of piercing through it.”

“No matter what, I still have to try,” Yang Dingtian said. “But, I’m not sure if Zhao Wuji’s failed Bloody Black Gold Sword is still in this village.”

“Even if it is still in the village, now that Zhao Wuji is already dead, it is even more difficult to get Zhao Mu to offer up that treasure sword,” Dongfang Niemie said.

That’s right. The fact that he is willing to hand over the Millennium Owl to Yang Dingtian is already a huge kindness. Also handing over the Bloody Black Gold Soul Sword would be too much.

“Master, then what is the second item needed to kill the Millennium Owl?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“Although the Millennium Owl’s Xuan energy has been sealed, it still has millions of pounds of strength. Even if a Guru Master got close, he would be crushed into pieces instantly,” Dongfang Niemie said. “So, you need an item, something that is capable of completely sealing the Millennium Owl to the extent where it would be unable to even move.”

“What is that?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“Wait till you get the quality Bloody Black Gold Sword and I’ll let you know,” Dongfang Niemie said.

Yang Dingtian contemplated and nodded after some time.

Two hours later, Zhao Mu brought over some wine and food. He wasn’t carried down this time but came down in a cage.

“How will you kill this Millennium Owl? Brother Yang, what is your plan?” Zhao Mu asked.

Ningning arranged the wine and dishes nicely and poured some wine for both Yang Dingtian and Zhao Mu.

After having a taste of the wine, Yang Dingtian said, “I would need a supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword to kill this Millennium Owl as it is the only thing that is capable of piercing through its hide.”

Zhao Mu was shocked. “There are no more than five supreme Bloody Black Gold Swords in the world. My father-in-law and my master both have one, but you can’t use them.”

Yang Dingtian showed a bitter smile. “Actually, I only need a low-rank electric-type demonic beast, but I am somehow facing this Millennium Owl.”

“Electric-type demonic beasts, as pure energy creatures, are way too rare,” Zhao Mu said. “And because it is so rare that our Zhao Clan did everything to obtain it. Our clan moved here and built this Horror Mountain Village hoping to cultivate it as a martial soul.”

“I take this as a test given to me by God,” Yang Dingtian said.

Then, the two of them no longer discussed the Millennium Owl and started talking about some of the matters happening in the Western Continent. They’d also talked about some of the history of Cloud Sky City and the Northwest Qin family. Throughout, Yang Dingtian never asked Zhao Mu for the quality Bloody Black Gold.

After finishing all the wine and dishes, Zhao Mu said, “The two of you can now leave this place and rest inside the Burial Tower. As soon I finish handling some matters, you may move back out to the village tomorrow morning.”

“Thank you, but this place is already pretty good,” Yang Dingtian said.

Zhao Mu took the food box and prepared to leave.

“Hold on, Brother Zhao Mu.” Yang Dingtian suddenly stopped him. Then, he opened a box and took out four needles, stabbing them into his chest to fill them with his blood. Then, he placed those needles back into the box and passed it to Zhao Mu. “Previously, I wasn’t sure of your character and lied to you that it would take me four infusions to complete this needle antidote, but it was actually only my blood that was inside. I’m afraid of any unexpected changes, so I’m passing all four of them to you now. As soon as you inject them into your veins, most of your cultivation should be recovered after resting for about half a year.”

Zhao Mu was shocked, and his face tightened. His eyes turned red, and he wanted to say something but couldn’t. Then, he accepted the box from Yang Dingtian, bowed, and said, “Thank you, Brother Yang, for giving me another life.”

“It’s a shame.....” Yang Dingtian went and helped him up.

Zhao Mu raised his head, and after pondering for some time, he clenched his teeth and said, “There is no supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword here, but there is a quality Bloody Black Gold Sword, and it has no owner. It was made by my dad dozens of years back, but he’d completely failed in cultivating the soul spirit inside the sword, such that the sword spirit turned into a devil and swallowed its owner. Now, it has become ownerless.”

“How is that possible?” Yang Dingtian asked in shock.

Zhao Mu sighed and said, “That is because my dad was too impetuous. Twenty years ago, he discovered a Bloody Black Gold mine that contained 99 pieces. Then, he found the essence of flaming mountain within five years and begged an elite to lend him his Xuan fire. However, the Sea Soul Crystal that is needed to forge the sea of energy of the sword was not found even after he searched for it across the world. He searched through every Sect and every auction house and couldn’t find it because it was a treasure of heaven and earth. Year after year passed, and he could no longer wait. So, he thought of another alternative which was to use the demon nucleus of a millennium demonic beast as a substitute.”

Yang Dingtian knew a little about the use of the supreme demonic nucleus as a substitute for the Sea Soul Crystal, and there were some successful examples throughout history. However, most of the attempts failed because the demon nucleus of the supreme demonic beast was filled with the powerful energy and breath of the demonic beast itself. As soon as it is forced into a sword, there is a high possibility that it will turn mad and swallow its owner.

“My dad found an ancient millennium demon nucleus in a declining faction. It was a Xuan Fire Kirin that was killed during the Great Nirvana. The demon nucleus was dug out from its corpse and became the treasure of generations. My father wanted to deplete the wealth of our village to buy the demon nucleus, but the other party did not agree.” Zhao Mu stopped for a moment, and continued, “Then, my father used a disgraceful means to obtain this demon nucleus, which was to give them the Millennium Owl in exchange, but he purposely concealed the strength of the beast and described it as dozens of times weaker than it actually is. So, the faction invited their friends to control this Millennium Owl. There were dozens of elites who all eventually died under its claws....”

(TL note: Kirin is known as a mythical hooved chimerical creature of Chinese legends.)

After hearing this story, Yang Dingtian felt chills. Dozens of elites had died under the claws of the Millennium Owl that was sealed, and he was all by himself.

“Finally, my dad got the Millennium five-type demon nucleus and also managed to keep the Millennium Owl. He headed to the Northwest Qin family with the Bloody Black Gold, the essence of flaming mountain, and the supreme fire demon nucleus. He borrowed the Xuan fire of the lord of the Qin family and forged the quality Bloody Black Gold Sword.” Zhao Mu sneered and said, “My father had lost his mind due to greed. How could the lord of the Qin family allow my father to cultivate the sword soul? How could he possibly allow another Guru-level elite to appear in the western land? The result was obvious. This quality Bloody Black Gold turned out to be a failed product the moment it was forged.”

“Brother Yang, this ownerless quality Bloody Black Gold Sword is in the village, and I can get it for you,” Zhao Mu said. “But, I need a little time because it’s not for me to decide, and I need to convince some of the people or even use some tactics. Because this is ultimately an ownerless quality Bloody Black Gold Sword, many in the village have dreamed of owning it.”

“Thank you so much.” Yang Dingtian bowed deeply.

“My father has done many sinful things throughout his life, and it would be a good thing for our Zhao family if we could use this sinful sword to do good,” Zhao Mu said. “But, I can only do this much for you. As for how to kill this Millennium Owl, I really can’t help.”

“Brother Zhao has already done a lot for me, and I, Yang Dingtian, am already very grateful.”

“I am only giving myself hope. I really look forward to the day when I can get justice,” Zhao Mu said.

.....

Of the two conditions, he’d finally managed to fulfill one. Yang Dingtian looked at Zhao Mu’s back as he left, and his heart filled with infinite gratitude. Never judge a book by its cover. He really didn’t expect the young master of Horror Mountain Village to be such a person.

“Master, can you tell me the second condition to kill the Millennium Owl now?” Yang Dingtian asked. “What item do I need to completely trap the Millennium Owl?”

Dongfang Niemie remained silent for a moment and said, “Son, you are the most hard-working and also the most determined person that I’ve ever met. You have already succeeded by making it this far....”

Yang Dingtian was stunned. What was the meaning behind Master’s words?

“Following this, I might have to persuade you to go back to Cloud Sky City and apologize to Yanyan. Then, you need to use the Art of Yin Yang Combination to break through and become a Six-star Xuan Martial Artist. It’s not shameful, my son. You’ve already tried your very best....,” Dongfang Niemie said.

Yang Dingtian trembled and asked, “What, what does this mean?”

“You can’t kill the Millennium Owl, but I know that you will not be satisfied until you’ve tried your very best, and you have now reached your limit,” Dongfang Niemie said. “You can’t kill the Millennium Owl. Even Guru-level elites can’t kill it.”

Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, “Master, no matter what, tell me what the second item required to kill the Millennium Owl is. No matter how impossible it is, at least tell me what it is.”

“Deep Sea Xuan Poison...,” Dongfang Niemie said slowly.

Immediately, Yang Dingtian went quiet.

Deep Sea Xuan Poison, the greatest poison in the world! The last treasure that protects the Naga! It is capable of destroying everything, including life, Xuan energy, and sense.

The Naga are the strongest in the world and also the most mysterious. No one has met one in thousands of years.
