Chapter 1605 - 170: Ending the War (Finale)_2

Chapter 1605: Chapter 170: Ending the War (Finale)_2

The emperor of Great Ape Mountain, who ruled for three hundred years, has completely departed from this place.

"...Father!"

A golden light shot swiftly from afar.

The Saint Prince felt it in his heart and shattered the void, arriving directly at the top of Green Moss Cliff.

Golden light filled the sky, transforming into divine radiance, presenting a splendid starry scene. This golden light seemed to carry a warmth, sweeping past with the wind, bringing a slight sense of warmth.

"..."

However, the Saint Prince’s expression was mournful, falling into silence.

He knew.

The last meeting with his father was indeed the final farewell.

The Saint Prince deeply knelt in front of the stone statue.

Xie Xuanyi watched this scene with a complex expression, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.

Who in this world can truly be undying?

Zhao Chunyang, Xiao Yaozi, Zen Master, Holy Emperor...

No matter how talented one might be, they cannot escape the fate decreed by the heavens and the mortal tribulation of life and death.

...

...

Xie Xuanyi left the Green Moss Cliff.

The golden light of this Holy Mountain dimmed considerably; the Holy Emperor’s divine soul dispersed, and the legacy left behind was inherited by later generations.

Upon departure.

A sudden transmission called out to him from the cliff.

"Xie Xuanyi."

It was a woman’s voice.

The transmitter was Master Ni Yu.

"What is it?"

Xie Xuanyi’s heart subtly moved, looking toward the gap in Green Moss Cliff, where deep within the gap, sat a figure in colorful robes.

The Holy Emperor left the ancient inscription inheritance to this master artifact refining expert of the Demon Country.

Starting today.

Master Ni Yu holds a different status in Great Ape Mountain.

Even if she is not a Yang God, she would be revered as a distinguished guest by the Saint Prince.

However.

In Xie Xuanyi’s view.

Master Ni Yu is still Master Ni Yu.

She wants to ask him for the Bronze Sword... which she has absolutely no chance of obtaining.

Xie Xuanyi is very interested in this ancient sword.

Even if the Holy Emperor personally came to ask for it, he would not hand it over.

"You came to ask me for the Bronze Sword?"

Xie Xuanyi spoke calmly, standing with hands behind his back, expressionlessly watching the woman in the mountain gap.

"..."

Master Ni Yu met his gaze, her heart lake lightly trembling.

She had to admit.

This Xie has a cultivation aptitude far superior to hers. Since the battle at Falcon Wind Gorge, it had not been long, yet Xie Xuanyi’s realm aura had completely suppressed hers. Even with the support of the Golden Shimmering Rune Array, she felt no sense of security.

If a fight really broke out.

She feared it would end even more miserably than before.

"Yes."

But Master Ni Yu ultimately sighed and spoke with a gentle attitude: "Master Xie, after all, this is my Lifebound Treasure. I wish to reclaim it."

"Oh?"

Xie Xuanyi chuckled lightly, raising his brows.

The last meeting.

Master Ni Yu wished to crush him to ashes, and now, she even addressed him as Master Xie.

Her attitude has turned a hundred and eighty degrees.

Since she spoke pleasantly and addressed things negotiably, Xie Xuanyi did not mind having a conversation.

"Master Xie only possesses the sword body without inscription. He cannot activate the sword to unleash its true power."

Master Ni Yu gazed intensely.

As the bearer of the Golden Shimmering Inscription, she had witnessed Xie Xuanyi slaying the Nether Sea earlier, seeing everything without omission.

This sword’s power was strong enough.

But...

The Great Ape Mountain’s ancient inscription played a crucial role.

"You intend to exchange the inscription inheritance for the sword?"

Xie Xuanyi smiled.

"Indeed."

Master Ni Yu took a deep breath and said earnestly: "Master Xie, if you are willing to return the Bronze Sword, I am willing to share all this Golden Shining Inscription."

The Bronze Sword and inscription merged together can maximize their power.

"I’m sorry."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head: "To me, this inscription is not that important."

He did not think this was a worthwhile trade.

On one hand.

Xie Xuanyi does not rely on the Bronze Sword.

Secondly.

In this world, it’s not only Master Ni Yu who can decipher the inscriptions. Not long ago, Xie Xuanyi sent the ancient inscription to Tianyuan Mountain. Perhaps Deng Baiyi, who received Xiao Yaozi’s inheritance, could also decipher the array patterns... Having personally witnessed the might of the Sword Qi Inscription, Xie Xuanyi was reluctant to agree with Master Ni Yu just like that.

After all, this is a Yang God Venerable.

If Master Ni Yu obtains the Bronze Sword and combines it with the Inscription Array... Master Ni Yu might be able to unleash the power of fighting across three realms!

"Master Xie..."

Master Ni Yu gritted her teeth and said, "Besides sharing the inscriptions, I’m willing to compensate you with another Bronze Sword."

With these words.

Xie Xuanyi was somewhat surprised.

"Compensate me with another Bronze Sword?"

Immediately intrigued, Xie Xuanyi asked, "How will you compensate?"

Master Ni Yu stared at Xie Xuanyi and said, "This sword was forged with the ’Bronze Immortal Gold’ left by Great Ape Mountain a thousand years ago... With Master Xie’s skills, obtaining Bronze Immortal Gold should not be a problem."

Having accepted the inheritance of the Holy Emperor.

Regarding the secrets from Great Ape Mountain a thousand years ago.

Master Ni Yu also knew some.

"Tsk..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xuanyi was already aware in his heart.

"You want me to obtain some Bronze Immortal Gold, then hand it to you to forge a new Bronze Immortal Sword?"

"Yes."

Master Ni Yu nodded earnestly and said, "I can create a Bronze Immortal Sword whose quality doesn’t lose to this one. If Master Xie doesn’t trust me, you can choose freely between the two Immortal Swords... I will take the leftover one."

"Interesting."

Xie Xuanyi stroked his chin and fell into thought.

In this way, this is indeed a worthwhile deal.

Master Ni Yu hands over the inheritance of inscriptions and offers another Bronze Sword.

Thereafter, the Demon Country will have one Immortal Sword and one Great Array. Great Chu will also have one Immortal Sword and one Great Array.

"How long will it take to forge a Bronze Immortal Sword?"

Xie Xuanyi’s gaze was intense.

"I cannot guarantee."

Master Ni Yu was quite honest, "Such a top-level Spiritual Treasure, and it comes from a thousand years ago. It’s quite troublesome to forge... It may take five years, or ten."

"I can give you a Bronze Immortal Sword."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly, "But you need to first provide me with the inscription inheritance, and as for the Bronze Sword, I want to wait until you finish forging the second Immortal Sword before proceeding with the exchange... In the meantime, I will provide you with sufficient Bronze Immortal Gold."

"This..."

Master Ni Yu hesitated, falling into deep thought.

This deal is clearly disadvantageous for her.

If this sword forging takes ten years, by then, this Xie person will have become invincible in the world.

When that time comes.

If this guy goes back on his word, what should she do? Wouldn’t she lose both the lady and the army?

"Master Xie, could you make a soul oath?"

Master Ni Yu contemplated for a long time.

She finally gritted her teeth and expressed her demand.

"I won’t make any soul oath."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and frowned, "What I can offer is only this verbal promise. If you don’t trust me, you can regard it as if nothing happened..."

Are you kidding me?

This kind of deal... is it worthy of a soul oath?

From beginning to end.

It was Master Ni Yu who wanted to make a deal with him.

Xie Xuanyi is now the Sword Palace Master of Da Sui, his status as high as the Great Palace Master and the Holy Emperor. What right does Master Ni Yu, merely a Yang God, have to demand a soul oath from him?

"You..."

Master Ni Yu was somewhat angry.

After so many years.

She has never been so aggrieved. As the Demon Country’s first Artifact Refining Master, even the Lord of the Holy Land treats her with great respect.

Cultivators of Xie Xuanyi’s age.

When they see her, which one doesn’t call her a senior?

"I, Xie, treasure my time; Daoist Ni, you have ten breaths to consider."

Xie Xuanyi casually tossed out a sentence, then said nothing more.

"Ten breaths?"

Master Ni Yu was somewhat dumbfounded.

She originally thought that for this trade, Xie Xuanyi would gladly agree. After all, he would gain an inscription inheritance for free and another Bronze Sword... Even if Xie Xuanyi didn’t need them, he could leave them for Da Sui Sword Palace to create a top-tier Yang God Realm force.

Never did she expect.

That Xie Xuanyi’s attitude would be so tough.

Ten breaths pass quickly.

In a blink of an eye.

And as ten breaths ended, Xie Xuanyi decisively turned to leave.

"Wait... wait!"

It was only then that Master Ni Yu reacted, gritting her teeth in pain and called out, "Master Xie, hold on! I agree to this transaction!"

In the final section [major plot], I’ll fill all the necessary gaps. So, as I write more, exceeding the expected time is possible as well.)
