"Hehe."
Hearing Luo Wuqing's words, Ning Tian chuckled and then followed by her side, with the unique fragrance of the Empress wafting over.
"Wife, where are you taking me?"
"Just follow me." Luo Wuqing shook her head without explanation.
At her words, Ning Tian could only follow Luo Wuqing with curiosity.
The two left the Holy Pool and departed from the Holy Mountain.
Heading towards a storage pavilion belonging to the Sky Demon Sect.
Many elders and disciples were tallying the spoils of war seized from the four sects after the battle.
Seeing Ning Tian and Luo Wuqing, they immediately stopped what they were doing and respectfully greeted them.
"Greetings to the Empress!"
"Greetings to the Ancestor Master!"
In the eyes of these elders and disciples, there was a fervent zeal as they excitedly looked at Ning Tian.
A few days earlier, at the debating platform, the Ancestor Master summoned the phantom of a great emperor and killed Elder Soul Extinguishing in one second. Although not many people saw it, the news spread throughout the Sky Demon Sect.
Who was Elder Soul Extinguishing?
A Divine Emperor realm powerhouse!
Commonly known as a quasi-Emperor!
And yet, he was killed in one move by the phantom of the great emperor summoned by the Ancestor Master!
Even his body and soul were left without a trace. Thinking of this, the elders and disciples all felt their hearts pounding with excitement!
At this moment, in their hearts, Ning Tian was a god!
[Ding!]
The beautiful electronic sound from the system echoed in Ning Tian's mind.
[Faith energy detected, would the host like to absorb it?]
"Absorb."
Ning Tian thought to himself.
Following that, streams of golden light energy that only Ning Tian could see flew out from those elders and disciples, entering his body.
[Faith Energy Absorbed +1]
[Faith Energy Absorbed +1]
[Faith Energy Absorbed +2]
[.]
[Faith Energy Absorbed +1]
Soon, all the faith energy was absorbed.
[Current faith energy storage: 30/100!]
"Gathering a hundred, what can be done?" Ning Tian subconsciously asked in his mind.
The system replied, "You can use a powerful move."
A powerful move?
That was rather straightforward.
Ning Tian nodded his head.
"What are you dazed about? Come in with me." Luo Wuqing's voice came from the side.
After Ning Tian recovered from his thoughts, he quickly followed.
After the two entered the storage pavilion, the reverence in the eyes of the group of elders and disciples slowly dissipated.
Inside the storage pavilion.
The Great Elder was holding pen and paper, tallying items.
"Great Elder, where are the three immortal weapons?" Luo Wuqing approached and asked indifferently.
Hearing Luo Wuqing's voice, the Great Elder stopped what he was doing, quickly turned around, and respectfully looked at the two, bowing.
"Greetings, Empress. Greetings, Ancestor Master."
"Mhm, you may rise."
Luo Wuqing waved her hand indifferently, asked once more, "Great Elder, where are the three immortal weapons?"
"Responding to the Empress, they are in the underground chamber of the Weaponry Pavilion." The Great Elder answered carefully.
"Mhm, I got it."
Luo Wuqing nodded, leading Ning Tian towards the underground chamber of the storage pavilion.
The underground chamber of the storage pavilion was generally where the weapons of the Sky Demon Sect were kept.
"Wife, what are you bringing me here for?"
Looking around at the weapons, there were treasures and spiritual weapons of various grades, Ning Tian couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Luo Wuqing did not speak but walked to the deepest part of the underground chamber.
There, against the stone wall, three beams of cold light twinkled.
They were immortal weapons!
Luo Wuqing's eyes settled on the three immortal weapons, "These are the immortal weapons seized from the four sects. Since you have contributed to this victory, you may choose one of these three immortal weapons."
"Choose an immortal weapon?"
Ning Tian's eyes lit up, for an immortal weapon was indeed a great thing!
His gaze fell upon the stone wall.
Three immortal weapons glimmered faintly.
The first one was a spear type, with a cold glint at the tip and the tail entwined like a dragon – a low-grade immortal weapon, the Coiling Dragon Spear!
The second one was a defensive type of armor – dark as ink and indestructible – a low-grade immortal weapon, the Ink Turtle Shell!
The third was a sword, whose body was crimson as if it were a blazing flame.
A mid-grade immortal weapon, known simply by two words, Crimson Sky!
These three immortal weapons, whether for use in attack or defense, were all exceedingly fine items!
"Hehe."
Ning Tian's eyes shone, as he smiled at Luo Wuqing, "Wife, do you know of a certain principle?"
"Mhm?"
Luo Wuqing was taken aback, looked at him indifferently, "Tell me."
"Children make choices; adults want it all!"
"Oh?"
Luo Wuqing's lips curled slightly, "You mean to say, you want all three immortal weapons?"
Ning Tian nodded, "Mhm!"
"Unfortunately, with your current strength, you cannot utilize three immortal weapons." Luo Wuqing shook her head, speaking calmly, "Even if I wanted to give them to you, you wouldn't be able to control them with your current power."
Ning Tian: "…"
"Alright then."
"I choose Crimson Sky."
After all, of the three immortal weapons, only the Crimson Sky sword was a mid-grade immortal weapon, and it would complement the sword intent martial arts he had just learned.
It was the most suitable among the three for him.
"Choosing Crimson Sky?"
At his words, Luo Wuqing's lips curled slightly, a playful look flashing in her eyes.
Ning Tian went forward and took the Crimson Sky sword from the stone wall.
Holding the Crimson Sky sword felt like holding a flame.
He then proceeded to drop blood to acknowledge the ownership.
A few minutes later, a cold light flashed on the sword body of Crimson Sky, and Ning Tian instantaneously gained control over the sword.
"Is this an immortal weapon?"
Ning Tian revealed a satisfied smile and prepared to display some sword techniques to see the power of Crimson Sky.
But suddenly,
He realized something was amiss.
Why could the immortal weapon Crimson Sky that he just held only exhibit the power of a spiritual weapon?
"What's going on?"
Ning Tian was stunned.
Beside him, Luo Wuqing let out a chuckle, her lips slightly lifted, "Crimson Sky is an emperor-level weapon; it has a special trait."
"What kind of trait?"
Ning Tian's face looked somewhat grim, looking at Luo Wuqing.
"It's strength proportionally corresponds to its master's strength. Crimson Sky will be stronger if you are stronger, and weaker if you are weaker," Luo Wuqing explained faintly.
"The master's strength determines the grade of Crimson Sky?" Ning Tian was shocked internally, "Doesn't that mean its potential is limitless?"
"It can be said so."
"But, it also implies that its lowest threshold is likewise low."
"Everything depends on your strength."
Luo Wuqing's eyes rested on Ning Tian as she slowly spoke.
"Mhm, I understand."
Ning Tian's heart surged with excitement. This Crimson Sky was far more powerful than an ordinary immortal weapon!
"Now that the choice is made, let's go."
After choosing the immortal weapon, the two left the storage pavilion.
By this time, the Great Elder seemed to have been waiting outside for a while and actively came up to meet them upon seeing the two.
"Empress, the Holy Maiden from the Yaochi Sacred Ground has come again, desiring an audience with you."
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi?
Luo Wuqing's eyebrows slightly knitted, then she nodded her head.
"Wife, hehe, then I'll be taking my leave now." At this moment, Ning Tian was eager to test the power of the Crimson Sky sword.
"Hold on."
Luo Wuqing gave him a look and called out to him.
"Ah? What is it, wife?"
"…"
Luo Wuqing didn't speak, but just took Ning Tian's hand and walked to a place.
"I still have something to ask you."
She looked at Ning Tian, a glint of sharpness in her eyes.
"That day, how did you bring down that strike from the great emperor?"
