“The Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique, he he, as expected of the godlike young lad!”

Sima Xiao’s soft maroon hair blew gently with the wind, the wind above the carriage roof was very big, yet he was completely oblivious of it. By his side, Qiu Zhi Jun sat cross legged, his shoulder length hair being blown by the wind, his pale white face made him look extremely sick.

Qiu Zhi Jun had a sense of self ridicule: “Swordsmen do not even dare to use that tempering spirit method, but it was actually used by a close quarters combat expert.”

“Hey, senior brother, don’t feel so inferior, not everyone is crazy.” Sima Xiao consoled.

Qiu Zhi Jun smiled, then closed his eyes. Suddenly, a few black dots appeared in the distant sky.

His eyes opened, gaze as sharp as a sword. With one look, he could tell that they were his scouts.

His heart jumped, Rong De’s actions was the crucial part of the plan. He knew that his junior apprentice brother had planned for a long time for it. He had already begun a mental sketch of the plan, long before he was sent to the remote constellations.

His gaze landed on his junior apprentice brother’s face.

Sima Xiao had also noticed the quickly approaching scouts, his rather immature face actually showed a still silence, like a clear and deep pond, serene and without any ripples.

The scouts nimbly landed on the carriage, their expressions enthusiastic: “Master, everything is in order.”

The strong happy feeling surged in his mind, causing Qiu Zhi Jun to expose a smile that was extremely difficult to come by. Once the next step was completed, the plan would be more than 50% completed.

Sima Xiao revealed a joyous face: “You guys have worked hard, victory is right in front of us, we absolutely cannot relax, get everyone to focus, after we win,we will celebrate!”

“Yes!” The scout replied enthusiastically, his morale was soaring high. He turned, and like a big bird, he soared far away.

“Like that, you can rest easy.” Qiu Zhi Jun laughed, he was feeling very happy. If they win the next battle, junior apprentice brother’s position will soar, and no one will be able to stop him. He had spent countless effort on the plan, and earning the victory would be his greatest reward.

Sima Xiao’s gaze landed far out, the fervent look in his eyes slowly getting stronger, under the soft and messy maroon hair that looked like a bird’s nest, the childish face had a faint sense of a tyrannical aura.

The carriage’s speed was extremely fast, after three days, they landed deep inside the mountains.

Rong De came up.

“How is it?” Sima Xiao asked.

“The 13 camps have already been eliminated, no survivors, and we did not alarm anyone.” Rong De said straightforwardly.

Sims Xiao then asked: “what about casualties?”

Rong De said solemnly: “we have 22 dead.”

Sima Xiao patted Rong De’s broad shoulder: “did you find the place?”

“Yes we found it.” Rong de walked to the front to act as point.

After a while, the few of them reached an extremely deep cave, with a dense mist lingering around the entrance.

“Such a strong death aura.” Qiu Zhi Jun subconsciously held onto his sword hilt, the dense death aura that was emitting from the inside made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

“Angered soul spirit seal, no wonder noone could not find it.” Sima Xiao muttered.

Rong De spoke up: “what’s inside?”

When the words came out, he immediately regretted. The mission was already extremely secretive, he was very clear on how his master saw the big picture, if the outside world knew about his plans, there would be a huge uproar. For the sake of not having the plan leak out, he had killed every single person in the 13 camps.

Inside the cave was Scorpio Constellation’s area!

Sima Xiao chuckled, and said: “Scorpio Magatama.”

(DeAndreR: a Magatama is a curved, comma-shaped bead)

“Scorpio Magatama…..” Rong De was stunned, his face slowly changed, his voice trembling, the impact of the two words on him were too huge, causing him to become blank.

Only after a long while he regained his senses.

Scorpio Magatama…. that was Scorpio Constellation’s saint treasure!

Scorpio Masters collapse, was due to the saint treasure Scorpio Magatama disappearing from the constellation, leading Scorpio Constellation to walk the road of decline. But, no matter how Scorpio Constellation declined, it was still an Ecliptic Palace Constellation. Many people thought that Scorpio Constellation would become like the Ophiuchus Constellation, falling from the Ecliptic Palaces to the Equatorial Halls. Instead, Scorpio Constellation persevered on and protected its position as a Ecliptic Palace Constellation.

When Rong De received his mission, he was already heavily suspicious, that it actually had something to do with Scorpio Constellation. If their movements were exposed, it would immediately lead to an intense retaliation by Scorpio Constellation, a dying camel will still be bigger than a horse, the Clan Union’s current strength could not be compared to Scorpio Constellation, and his master would immediately be caught up in a dangerous situation.

But Rong De knew that Sima Xiao was usually far sighted, and to give such orders, he most likely had prepared earlier. And with such a resolute personality, upon giving such orders, he would never waver.

Ring De did not utter a word, and brought his army quietly into Scorpio Constellation. He quickly realized that his master have had ample preparations, the troops garrisoned at the starry door were already bribed, and their route of march was already meticulously planned out. They travelled on off tracks that people rarely took, deep into the mountains and forests, which had no signs of human habitations, avoiding specific areas with powerful star beasts’ territories, the entire army got to their destination more scared than injured.

The battles afterwards were not surprising. To the army, all the bases were basically defenseless, other than them not expecting the base citizens to retaliate so fiercely, leading to them suffering some deaths and injuries, the entire process of wiping them out went smoothly.

He quickly found the key goal of the mission, and at that point in time, he was sure that there was something incredible inside to make Master be so willing to brave through so much just to get to it.

But, he had never thought that it would actually be Scorpio Magatama.

Master’s goal was actually…. actually Scorpio Constellation!

Rong De’s old and experienced face finally revealed changes, looking at Sima Xiao with shock. He was always somewhat respectful of Sima Xiao, he had great foresight, his methods were efficient and ruthless, was frank when dealing with people, and was a worthy person to be loyal to. Sima Xiao had quietly gained control of the Sima Family, and quietly gained the support of many elders in the clan elders meeting, secretly controlling the Clan Union.

And he could stand his ground against the opinions of others, pushing for the Clan Union’s spirit generals to merge with martial techniques, devising a string of methods to develop the army, he was clearly Master material.

But the Clan Union’s composition was complicated, the organisation was lax, many factions and families existed, thus a natural weakness. Rong De’s judgement on Sima Xiao, was that he was a pure tyrant.

He had finally understood, Sima Xiao’s ambitions were much bigger than he thought.

“Master Kui, take a look at this.”

Sima Xiao looked at the extremely ordinary old man beside him and said.

Rong De’s pupils constricted, the old man was a stranger whom he had never seen before, but the name “Master Kui” was something he had heard before. Master Kui, Clan Union’s most powerful spirit tempering specialist!

The merging and devouring of spirit generals, required many techniques and knowledge, just like a blood meridians specialist, just that a spirit tempering specialist was a unique profession solely belonging to the clan union. Clan Union’s strongest union generals, were all made by Master Kui.

“This is a good place!” Master Kui stood by the cave entrance and observed, somewhat excitedly: “Such a heavy angry and deathly aura, there are definitely powerful spirit generals inside!”

Sima Xiao said solemnly: “Scorpio Master’s collapse was due to internal strife, he died in his palace, with his loyal guards protection, his wife took the Magatama and escaped out of the palace during the night, fleeing for over thousands of li, before the Magatama disappeared. Seeing this cave today, I finally understood, that all the guards had died and became spirits, while the Magatama was sealed. To seal a saint treasure, inside here, there is definitely a saint level spirit general! And to not have disappeared even after tens of thousands of years, and for the deadly qi to remain so heavy, this cave is far from normal. In the three big armies generation, This was an important passageway for Scorpio Constellation, after experiencing the intense and tragic war, it was said that this cave was actually filled to the brim with blood. The death qi in here was too heavy, and thus sealed and given up.”

Master Kui became even more excited, his face flushed red: “Good place! Good place! A place filled with blood from war, saint level spirit general, there isn’t a better place than this!”

“I have to trouble Master Kui.” Sima Xiao bowed and said.

“Kui will do his best!” Master Kui’s expression turned solemn, he carefully retrieved out a test tube, inside it was some weird mist: “Master, please drop a bit of blood.”

Hearing that, Sima Xiao cut his finger, and dripped a bit of blood into the test tube.

Upon interacting with the mist, it produced an intense reaction, as countless blood traces splurged out, after a while, the blood traces converged to form a thumb sized figure.

The blood wound to become a body, vaguely resembling a human shape.

“This drop of spirit devouring embryo is our latest invention, obtained from the merging of the fiercest spirits of spirit cards, its devouring spirit capability is thousand times stronger than any union generals. Do not look down on this drop of spirit devouring embryo, we have spent three unique cards, 10 Purple gold cards, and countless other gold cards on it.”

Upon talking about subjects related to his profession, Master Kui’s expression became stern and confident.

He turned the test tube over, the blood coagulated a mini person, like a water drop, dropped into the cave filled with mist.

******

Ye Zhao Ge gradually opened his eyes, which were tranquil and deep, without any sense of evil tendencies. His face had a beard that was thick like steel wires, his hair was in a mess, scars and bruises covering his entire body, dressed in shabby clothes, yet his body was leaking with a sense of tranquility.

He bowed respectfully to the wooden hut: “I’m going.”

Taking the sword by his side, he stood up, and without hesitation, he left.

Just as he was pushing the courtyard door, the martial artist who was respectfully guarding the place saw Ye Zhao Ge, and was stunned for a few seconds. This….was that the God killer Ye Zhao Ge? He was so serene, as though he had changed into a different person.

After a while, he awoke from his daze, and immediately welcomed: “Master Ye!”

Ye Zhao Ge looked over, causing the martial artist to feel his entire body tensing up, his heart unable to resist, overwhelmed with shock. He recognized power, and suddenly bit his tongue, the pain causing him to be more focused, ignoring the blood stained mouth, he lowered his head and said respectfully: “It is an emergency crisis! The clan elders have hoped that after Master’s closed door cultivation, you will immediately join in the meeting.”

Ye Zhao Ge ‘oh’ed, and said: “Lead the way.”

The martial artist felt the pressure in the area disappearing, and could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Just as everyone was still discussing Ursa Major Constellation, explosive news swept across various Constellations.

Scorpio Constellation’s star power concentration was suddenly rising substantially!

Everyone understood what that meant, there was only one possibility, a saint treasure was born!

Scorpio Constellation saint treasure, after so many years, had finally reconnected with Scorpio Constellation.

When the news spread, it caused an uproar, all the current news suddenly paled in comparison, as everyone’s focus was on Scorpio Constellation.

Scorpio Constellation, was an established dynasty constellation, the last winner of the Three Big Armies Generation. Although it had declined for a long time, it was not like Ophiuchus Constellation, Scorpio Constellation had never dropped from the Ecliptic Palaces.

A dying camel would always be bigger than a horse, after accumulating for so long, it was not the same.

Scorpio Constellations reason for decline was because of the disappearance of its saint treasure. Scorpio Constellation martial techniques, compared to the other constellations, were maintained rather perfectly. As soon as Scorpio Constellation could find its saint treasure, it would immediately be revived.

The past generations of Scorpio martial artists had spent countless amounts of effort to search everywhere, high and low, but it was all in vain. They did not care who became their Master, as they were more affected that they did not even have a Master.

Scorpio Constellations silence, continued for so long….

Until today, Scorpio Constellations star power concentration suddenly soared by 7%…..

Scorpio Constellation experienced a momentary shock, then immediately got caught up in an unprecedented party.

While Heaven’s Road fell into an unprecedented silence. Everyone had forgotten them for too long, but, no one forgot, they used to be a dynasty constellation, an ecliptic palace constellation that declined due to losing its saint treasure, it was an extremely dangerous and terrifying constellation.

And today, it had awakened.

The situation immediately became complicated, the elements were already so unstable, and the future had become even more a blur.

The influence of the matter was too huge, even Honorable Martial Group and Leo Constellation who were intoxicated in battle had chosen to call for a halt.

The entire Heaven’s Road had stopped breathing, waiting for the Scorpio Master to reveal himself.

*******************

Three Spirits City.

Bing looked at the video in front of him, satisfyingly puffing out a smoke ring, and then mumbling to himself: “Scorpio, hehe, my old enemy, this has become even more interesting.”

He was feeling bored recently.

The student army had already scattered, the students had once again returned back to

Sky Martial Wolf Academy. He had placed high hopes on the students. The battle was just to let them experience warfare. Although they had displayed great improvements, to Bing they still needed to practice. But the students did not go back to Lupus Constellation, because the current Sky Martial Wolf Academy was moved to Bear Egg.

The Bear Egg was currently overpopulated.

Even Tang Yi’s Lupus Army was currently gathered inside Bear Egg for “Special Training”.

Ta Dun’s Andromeda Army had also quietly entered Bear Egg for “Special Training”.

There was only one subject for Bear Egg – Special Training!

Tang Tian’s Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique had caused the star power concentration in Bear Egg to instantly break through to 40%. No one would miss this chance. Bing carefully analyzed the situation, brazenly brought the whole army, to move to the Bear Egg for special training.

All these armies were lacking in the True Power aspect. Of course, to Bing, the armies were all cannon fodder, but to be able to bring up their true power by two levels, that would promote them to elite cannon fodder.

If placed in Lupus Constellation with a pathetic 1% Star power concentration, to upgrade their true power levels by two, the cost of it would undoubtedly be astonishing.

But Bear Egg with over 40% star power concentration, as long as they were not skiving, it would not be a problem. That was why, the 12 Ecliptic Palaces far surpassed the other constellations, they held denser star power concentration, and could therefore attract even more talented martial artists.

The population of the 12 Ecliptic Palaces was not much, and the expensive fee of using the star power was something no ordinary person could do.

They were the peak of a pyramid, and all the lower tier constellation levels would always lose by giving talents away. The most outstanding martial artists, the best training environments. How could the 12 ecliptic palaces not be strong?

But Bing did not have a trace of fear against the 12 Ecliptic palaces.

The current generation of people did not have any idea of the chaotic world and the true Heaven’s Road Great War. But Bing who had survived through the most intense of times, was very clear of what was most important.

The population!

Of all the constellations under Tang Tian, Bing viewed most heavily upon the most barren Lupus Constellation, because Lupus Constellation held the largest population.

In case a long and drawn out war was projected, everyone would be fighting with the capability of producing blood and men.

The 12 Ecliptic Palaces Constellations walked the path of elite troops, but once they were exhausted, replenishing them would be difficult. In peaceful times, they could still rely on their superiority to attract talents and geniuses from other constellations. But in wartime, the population movement of every constellation would be strictly regulated, and at that time, the 12 Ecliptic Palaces would face the predicament of insufficient manpower.

Any military general with some standard would be able to see that, but no one cared, because no one believed that a war would last for so long.

How many years could they fight?

Only Bing who had personally experienced it had secretly made preparations, history would always repeat itself.

In this period of time, the other constellations could not grasp the real situation in Ursa Major Constellation, adding along Tang Tian’s Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique which induced even more fear, instead earned them a well deserved peace. If they did not grasp the crucial time to raise their strength, they would not live so easily in the days to come.

Tang Tian’s Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique caused Bing to be shocked.

Bing had always been supportive of Tang Tian’s self-oppressive attitude. To encourage morale, all of the martial artists who had come to the Bear Egg to train, would be brought to Tang Tian, in the name of “Finding Happiness”, oh, no, in the name of “Finding the push”.

Bing was like a patient hunter, calmly and patiently waiting for their strength to increase.

But, the armies were not the only ones giving their all.

In the mechanical weapons laboratory, the lights were completely lit, everyone was dirty from head to toe, eyes filled with blood red veins, piles and piles of discarded components were everywhere, metal fragments all over, to the point that there was practically no place to stand. Countless mechanical engineers were in corners, having found places to sleep, falling in deep and comfortable sleep.

Suddenly, a person in the corner screamed: “Success! I Succeeded!”

Bang, the entire mechanical weapons laboratory burst into an uproar, all the mechanical engineers flooded in from every corner.

A pure and sparkling crystal had a finger sized spirit general floating on it.

Sai Lei’s face was joyous, she had asked for the Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ores. It was an extremely rare metal, a special product of Draco Constellation. When Sai Lei was researching materials, she had discovered an astonishing feature of the Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ore – the Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ore could seal spirit generals.

When 400 Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ores were sent to the mechanical weapons laboratory, the entire mechanical weapons laboratory became like a spring, researching regardless of day or night.

Very quickly, many new discoveries were made, other than sealing spirit generals, after refining the Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ores, it could still nourish the spirit general, allowing the spirit generals to become even more pure and stronger.

This discovery caused all the mechanical engineers inside the entire workshop to go crazy.

This indicated that, upon success, they could create mechanical spirit weapons with growth attributes!

Of course, when they were refining with the Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ores, they came across a problem. They were unable to completely refine out a perfect Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ore! The more refined the Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ore was, the stronger the spirit general they could seal.

And today, they have finally completely refined out a Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ore!

A new generation of mechanical spirit weapons, was on the verge of being born!
