Chapter 1040: Taking Stock of the Gains
Lu Xuan nodded and handed over the aftermath of this matter to the Great Void Pavilion. When the time came, he would naturally receive his share of the compensation.
Right now, his top priority was to prepare for battle!
This was the benefit of having a powerful backer!
Lu Xuan immediately entered the Sky Ocean Secret Realm to take stock of the results of this battle. Lu Xuan had put in a lot of effort to kill Zhao Jing. He had also used up the sword qi that was enough to severely injure a golden immortal ahead of time.
All the spirit stones that he had acc.u.mulated were also used up.
Although killing Zhao Jing was a great gain, the loss was not small either.
After using a secret technique to break through the defense of Zhao Jing’s ring of cosmos, Lu Xuan quickly figured out what was inside Zhao Jing’s ring of cosmos. It was like a treasure trove.
There were not even any high-grade spirit stones for ordinary people to use for cultivation. All of them were immortal stones. There were at least a million immortal stones. Although it was not a lot, considering that Zhao Jing had just broken through to the golden immortal not long ago, he must have consumed a lot of the resources when he broke through. It was already very good that he still had a million immortal stones left.
It must be known that the amount of immortal stones that Lu Xuan used when he was in the Pseudo White Sun Soaring state was actually only equivalent to three hundred thousand immortal stones. This alone was enough to make up for it.
In addition, there was a treasured saber. The body of the saber was completely black, and it was engraved with complicated patterns. The saber aura was threatening.
This was the treasured saber that Zhao Jing himself used. This was a genuine golden immortal dharmic artifact. The value of this dharmic artifact alone was at least five million immortal stones.
“Wow, what a fortune!”
Lu Xuan beamed with joy. Lu Xuan immediately began to refine this treasured saber.
“Who are you? How dare you touch my dharmic artifact!”
An angry roar burst out from the treasured saber, and a shadow emerged from it. It was none other than a wisp of Zhao Jing’s primordial spirit.
“I’ve killed your original body. How dare a mere clone of your primordial spirit act so presumptuously in front of me!”
Lu Xuan sneered. He was no longer the human immortal that even a wisp of Luo Chen’s primordial spirit could fight him.
Even though he was only a gold immortal, it was just the wisp of Zhao Jing’s primordial spirit.
Lu Xuan smashed the wisp of his primordial spirit with lightning speed, turning it into pure energy and directly absorbing it into his body.
Instantly, Lu Xuan felt that his cultivation strength had improved by another level. The primordial spirit of the golden immortal was really good stuff.
Without the hindrance of Zhao Jing’s primordial spirit, it was much easier for Lu Xuan to refine the treasured saber. In just one day, he had completely refined the golden immortal’s dharmic artifact into his own dharmic artifact.
After Lu Xuan had completely refined the treasured saber, he had already understood all the information about the treasured saber. The name of the treasured saber was Demon Breaker.
Ever since Zhao Jing died when he was still young, he had followed him in battle. After that, most of the wealth that Zhao Jing obtained was used to strengthen the Demon Breaker.
Now, the Demon Breaker was completely owned by Lu Xuan.
The power of the Demon Breaker was even stronger than Lu Xuan’s Geng Metal Sword. In fact, the Geng Metal Sword could only be considered as an ordinary divine weapon. Lu Xuan did not add any special skills or martial arts to it.
It was just relying on the sharp and unmatched characteristics of the essence of Western Gengjin, and it exerted a power far beyond what it should have in Lu Xuan’s hands.
Lu Xuan didn’t even need him to have any other power. As long as he was extremely sharp, it was enough. He didn’t care what kind of martial arts, techniques, or spells he used.
It could be said that the power of the Geng Metal Sword completely depended on how strong Lu Xuan was. However, the Demon Breaker was different. The Demon Breaker itself was very strong.
But if one day, after Lu Xuan broke through to the Immortal King Realm, the Demon Breaker would only be a golden immortal-ranked weapon. It wouldn’t be able to keep up with Lu Xuan’s growth.
But the Geng Metal Sword was different. Even if Lu Xuan became an immortal king or even an immortal emperor, he would be able to fully bear Lu Xuan’s strength and unleash his full potential.
But at the current stage, the power of the Demon Breaker was stronger than the Geng Metal Sword. It wasn’t like Lu Xuan didn’t know how to use the saber. Even the Moke Prison-suppressing Saber of the Zhao family, Lu Xuan was very proficient in it. It was just enough for him to unleash the power of the Demon Breaker.
With this Demon Breaker, Lu Xuan’s combat strength could be upgraded to a higher level. He could almost see the look on Nangong Wuyin’s face when he was being slashed by him.
Just the millions of immortal stones and this Demon Breaker alone were enough for Lu Xuan to recoup the cost of his battle with Zhao Jing. Moreover, he had also made a huge profit.
In addition, there were also a large number of cultivation manuals of the Zhao family in Zhao Jing’s Ring of Cosmos. There were also all kinds of secret manuals that he had obtained through various fortuitous encounters over the years.
Apart from that, there were also various cultivation manuals, insights, notes, and so on.
Lu Xuan casually flipped through them, and his expression immediately turned grave. This was because he saw a diary of Zhao Jing that actually said that he had been captured by the king of the h.e.l.lsp.a.w.n and a demonic seed had been planted in his body.
He had even relied on the demonic seed to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, and there were even a large number of unspeakable things recorded in the diary.
“Humph!”
Lu Xuan snorted. This was irrefutable evidence. It was impossible for the Zhao family to turn the tables. There were even many dark things about the Zhao family, including Zhao Jing’s speculation that some of the elders in the Zhao family had been possessed by the devil.
Just this diary alone was enough to turn the Zhao family upside down.
The Zhao family had been stationed at the border of the Prison State for many years and had suppressed the h.e.l.lsp.a.w.ns for many years. Although it was hard work, they had acc.u.mulated a lot of dark sides because of it, too.
The diary probably only recorded one-thousandth of it.
Zhao Jing probably never expected that the diary, which was supposed to be his private record, would fall into the hands of outsiders and Lu Xuan.
It became an important piece of evidence against the Zhao family.
Of course, Lu Xuan immediately found Kou Yuande and handed over the diary to him.
“I didn’t expect Zhao Jing to have such a thing behind his back!”
Kou Yuande quickly checked the diary and found it shocking. There were too many unspeakable things recorded in it. This kind of thing should not be exposed to the public, but who knew that Zhao Jing actually recorded it. It was simply courting death.
“This is great. With this diary, it’s enough to make the Zhao family pay a sufficient price!” Kou Yuande said with great joy.
A mere diary was certainly not enough to destroy the Zhao family. The Zhao family was filled with experts, and there was more than one golden immortal. They also had the support of a powerful immortal king sect.
However, it was enough to greatly damage the Zhao family!
