"This... it's completely recovered!?"
Feeling the surging energy, even though the soul of the God Slaying Spear had lived for countless years, it was shocked. The Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass had appeared less than three times since the beginning of the world, showing how rare it was.
Even in the God Realm back then, it was a legendary existence. As for the soul of the God Slaying Spear, it naturally had no knowledge of it, nor had it ever seen it!
Mysterious!
For a moment, Ye Xuan's image was thus established in the soul of the God Slaying Spear.
"Good!"
Without overthinking, the soul of the God Slaying Spear agreed. It certainly didn't want to die. After all, it had survived for a thousand epochs, only to one day return to its peak and fight its way back to the God Realm.
"I am willing to recognize you as my master. I hope you will keep your word."
"Otherwise, if you break your promise in the future, even if I have to disappear completely, I will perish with you!"
The soul of the God Slaying Spear said so. Ye Xuan didn't pay much attention to it. After all, to avenge the God Emperor Shi Tian, one had to at least enter the God Realm, and that level was still a long way off.
For now, there was no need to consider it.
"Don't worry."
Ye Xuan spoke grandly. The most important reason the soul of the God Slaying Spear decided to recognize Ye Xuan as its master was that it saw Ye Xuan's talent. He had entered the ninth-rank Dao Ancestor before the age of thirty. This was an incredibly talented existence even in the God Realm, let alone in the current meager lower realm, where spiritual energy was extremely scarce.
Then, Ye Xuan flipped his right hand and held the Heaven-Breaking Thunder Spear. "You will live here from now on."
"Oh?"
The soul of the God Slaying Spear looked at the Heaven-Breaking Thunder Spear in Ye Xuan's hand. "A growth-type weapon, quite interesting."
Immediately, the soul of the God Slaying Spear's eyes gleamed. Then, it merged into the Heaven-Breaking Thunder Spear. The moment it merged, the entire Heaven-Breaking Thunder Spear underwent a world-altering change.
Thunderous light and spear intent permeated the air, and a terrifying aura spread out. Ye Xuan took advantage of this to drip a drop of his vital blood onto the Heaven-Breaking Thunder Spear, successfully recognizing it as his master. At this moment, the Heaven-Breaking Thunder Spear had become a sentient being, with the dominant consciousness being that of the soul of the God Slaying Spear.
"【God Slaying Spear Art: Spear Breaks the World】!"
While Ji Xuanyuan and Ji Changkong were stunned, the Heaven-Breaking Thunder Spear automatically flew up and shot towards the distance, instantly creating a mushroom cloud. Even from afar, an unprecedented tremor was clearly felt.
"Good heavens!"
"With this attack alone, its combat power is at least comparable to a first-rank immortal!"
Ji Xuanyuan pursed his lips, looking at the scene. A spear fighting automatically was actually comparable to a first-rank immortal.
"Hahaha, good!"
"This spear body is quite good~!!"
After venting its excitement, the Heaven-Breaking Thunder Spear returned to Ye Xuan's side. Ye Xuan examined the completely transformed long spear. "From now on, your name shall be 【God Slaying Thunder Spear】."
"Yes, Master."
The soul of the God Slaying Spear readily agreed. It didn't care about mere names.
Then, Ye Xuan held the 【God Slaying Thunder Spear】 in his hand and could clearly feel the boost it provided, far exceeding his imagination.
As expected!
It was indeed the weapon of God Emperor Shi Tian from the God Realm, incredibly powerful.
With this spear, Ye Xuan, at the ninth-rank Dao Ancestor realm, was confident in killing a first-rank immortal and even contending with a second-rank immortal.
"Congratulations to the Alliance Leader for obtaining a divine weapon!"
Although Ji Xuanyuan did not know the current rank of the God Slaying Thunder Spear in Ye Xuan's hand, he knew it was absolutely extraordinary, surpassing the rank of immortal artifacts at least.
Ji Changkong was also filled with emotion. After briefly shifting his gaze from the God Slaying Thunder Spear, he looked at his Third Ancestor with great excitement. "Third Ancestor, you... you have truly entered the realm of immortals."
Ji Changkong asked as if in a dream, still feeling as if it were unreal.
The realm of immortals!
It was a height that their Milky Way Empire had never reached in history, and now their Third Ancestor had achieved it. How could he not be excited?
And...
Most importantly, this was just the beginning.
After all!
He had already reached the peak of the ninth-rank Dao Ancestor. He believed that within ten years at most, with the Alliance Leader's various resources, he would surely break through to the realm of immortals, and after him, other Dao Ancestor powerhouses would follow suit to achieve immortality.
"Disperse."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, and then Ji Xuanyuan and Ji Changkong both left. Shortly after, only Ye Xuan remained in the field.
"Ninth-rank Dao Ancestor, it seems I need to advance further."
Entering the third level of the Exquisite Pagoda, Ye Xuan walked directly to the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass, startling it with his sudden appearance.
"Master, it's you."
Seeing the person who arrived, the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass breathed a sigh of relief, patting its chest. Its appearance as a child in a bellyband was quite amusing.
"You scared little Nine."
The Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass said so. It was hard to believe that such a creature had combat power comparable to a ninth-rank Dao Ancestor.
However, the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass had now reached an astonishing 2 million years old, clearly having stolen quite a few spiritual medicines during this time.
After muttering for a while, the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass thought of something and flipped its right hand. "By the way, Master, this is the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruit that little Nine produced after breaking through 2 million years. It should be of great benefit to your cultivation."
"Oh?"
"You bore fruit??"
Ye Xuan looked at the ten Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruits in his hand. They were the essence of the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass, undoubtedly much better than its vital blood.
Through communication, Ye Xuan also learned that the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass bore fruit once every million years, and the older it was, the more effective the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruits would be!
This meant that the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruits Ye Xuan obtained were just the beginning.
"With these fruits, it seems the realm of immortals can be broken."
Looking at the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruits in his hand, Ye Xuan curled his lips and then consumed one on the spot. As for the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass, it had long since disappeared to go eat spiritual medicines.
Boom!!!!
Just as Ye Xuan had predicted, after consuming the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruit, boundless energy immediately erupted. After all, this was the essence of a 2 million-year-old Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass.
One could imagine its energy and efficacy!
One breath later, he reached the peak of the ninth-rank Dao Ancestor!
Five breaths later, he reached the extreme peak of the ninth-rank Dao Ancestor!
Fifty breaths later, he was one step away from becoming an immortal!
One hundred breaths later, he entered the realm of immortals!!
Finally, Ye Xuan directly crossed a major realm and entered the realm of immortals. He then used another Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruit, forcefully pushing his cultivation to the peak extreme of a first-rank immortal, one step away from a second-rank immortal.
However, it was clear that the efficacy was greatly reduced compared to the first one.
He then looked at the remaining eight Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruits in his hand and did not continue to consume them, as further consumption might be wasteful. "Heh, I wonder what changes would occur if these fruits were given to the God Slaying Thunder Spear??"
