Its effects are incredibly miraculous and can perfectly enhance the essence of any Five Elents attribute artifact.
Be it a Spirit Treasure, Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, or even the legendary Mysterious Heavenly Treasure, as long as the attributes align, integrating a little Five Elents Divine Mud can greatly enhance its power and potential.
If there is enough Five Elents Divine Mud, Xu Pin’s Canghua Divine Wood Sword could even advance further to reach the level of a supre treasure.
But after the initial shock, Xu Ping quickly cald down, furrowing his brows deeply: "Fellow Daoist Xuanmo, are you joking?"
"The Five Elents Divine Mud has long been extinct since ancient tis; it hasn’t been heard of in the outer sea for over ten thousand years. Do you have any concrete evidence for this information?"
It’s not that he doesn’t believe it, but this matter is so astonishing that he can’t help but be cautious.
Xuanmo True Monarch collected his smile, showing a rare serious expression: "Fellow Daoist Xu, this information is absolutely true."
"I used a special demonic artifact, spending my vital essence to activate it, and sensed a faint yet extrely pure trace of Five Elents Origin Qi deep within the Water Demon Cavern; it cannot be wrong."
He looked intently at Xu Ping: "The reason I ca here this ti is to sincerely invite you to explore this treasure together in the Water Demon Cavern!"
"If we gain sothing, we can split it fifty-fifty!"
"Oh?"
Xu Ping’s thoughts raced, but outwardly he remained unmoved, instead asking: "Why did you specifically seek out for such a good opportunity, Fellow Daoist?"
"Though there aren’t many Late-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the outer sea, there are over ten; why not invite others?"
Xuanmo True Monarch seed to expect this question, and instead of answering, he asked back: "Fellow Daoist Xu, do you know the details of the Water Demon Cavern?"
Xu Ping nodded slightly: "I’ve heard a little about it."
The Water Demon Cavern is a region of endless deep-sea caves, intricate and extrely perilous environnt.
More crucially, it is a node where ancient demonic qi leaks, having been eroded by demonic qi for a long ti. The Demon Beasts bred there are not just powerful but have undergone bizarre and terrifying mutations.
It’s said that... deep within, two Tier Four Top-grade Demon Beasts that underwent unknown mutations are lurking, their strength likely more troubleso than usual Late-Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators.
Even if a top late-stage cultivator ventures alone, it would be dangerous.
"Since you know, you should understand why I am concerned."
Xuanmo True Monarch spread his hands, "The Five Elents Divine Mud is at the deepest part of the Water Demon Cavern, near the lair of those two demonic creatures."
"Alone, I would have no chance against two mutated Top-grade Demon Beasts."
"Looking across the entire outer sea,"
Xuanmo True Monarch’s gaze locked tightly on Xu Ping, "except for Yun Weifeng’s existence, in terms of strength and thods, who else besides you, Fellow Daoist Xu, is more suitable to join forces with ?"
"Moreover, the Five Elents Divine Mud isn’t easy to nurture, the amount definitely won’t be much, just barely enough for the two of us to share."
"I naturally need to find the strongest partner to ensure the success of this endeavor."
"As for why not choose Yun Weifeng, I believe it needs no explanation, and Fellow Daoist Xu can understand the reasoning."
His words sounded reasonable, almost flawless.
The dangers of the Water Demon Cavern are well-known, and the Five Elents Divine Mud is precious and limited, making finding the strongest ally seem like the best solution.
However, a trace of wariness rose in Xu Ping’s heart.
The logic makes sense, but the risks are too great.
The Water Demon Cavern is already a den of perilous challenges; facing two mutated Top-grade Demon Beasts also requires constant vigilance against this scheming figure of demonic power.
If Xuanmo True Monarch invites a few more late-stage cultivators, it could be fatal to him.
Though the Five Elents Divine Mud is highly precious, Xu Ping can distinguish between its value and his life.
Without enough certainty, he wouldn’t take the risk lightly.
However, he didn’t imdiately refuse, instead pondering: "What you say is indeed tempting, but the dangers of the Water Demon Cavern are extraordinary. This is a significant matter; please allow to carefully consider it."
Xuanmo True Monarch noticed Xu Ping didn’t outright refuse, a subtle light flashed in his eyes, and he nodded happily: "That’s only natural; such a significant matter should indeed be approached with caution."
"I shall await your good news, then."
He chatted a bit with Xu Ping about so inconsequential insights into demonic arts before taking his leave, transforming into a demonic shadow that disappeared into the horizon.
Upon sending off Xuanmo True Monarch, Xu Ping returned to his original seat, brow furrowed, deep in thought.
"Five Elents Divine Mud... the temptation is imnse, but this person Xuan Mo... is scheming and hard to trust.
The things he spoke of, are they true or false?
If true, it could explain his previous repeated gestures of goodwill as a ans to pave the way for finding a strong ally.
But if false... what does he ultimately want from , going to such lengths, even potentially throwing out the bait of ’Five Elents Divine Mud’?
I have no deep-seated enmity with him, is it worth such elaborate planning on his part?"
After much thinking, it was difficult to determine the true intentions of Xuanmo True Monarch.
In the end, Xu Ping decided to maintain a stance of inaction for now.
Without sufficient assurance and precautions, he would engage cautiously.
Given enough ti, if there’s deception, it will eventually show itself.
...
Two years passed again in quietness.
On this day, two streaks of Escape Light approached the outside of Blood Bone Island once more.
The arrivals were surprisingly Hongyi and the Nine Nether Elder.
Xu Ping naturally went to greet them personally.
Hongyi still appeared calm and steady, his aura growing more profound.
What secretly surprised Xu Ping was the Nine Nether Elder beside him.
The pressure emanating from him had unmistakably reached the level of Late-Stage Nascent Soul.
Moreover, this pressure carried a dense, unshakeable chill of death, intertwined with pure Ghost Path aura, making it extrely eerie and unpredictable.
Xu Ping couldn’t help but speculate that the Nine Nether Elder might have joined the Ghost Path.
