Have you ever seen an Immortal Artifact?
Pu Xian was once again stumped by Xu Fan's question.
At Pu Xian's level, he naturally knew so secrets far beyond the reach of ordinary folk. Earth was only a low-level plane; let alone Immortal Artifacts, even Spiritual Artifacts were almost never seen, and a Divine Weapon of slightly higher grade was enough to spark bloody struggle and looting.
As for those Spiritual Artifacts and Immortal Artifacts, most of them existed only within so transcendent powers as trump cards, and almost all of them were either damaged or sealed.
Think about it: the might of an Immortal Artifact shakes heaven and earth—how could re Kai Yang Realm or Mysterious Light Realm cultivators possibly draw out its power? Leaving a powerful Immortal Artifact on Earth was simply a waste.
Even within the Buddhist Sect, there was only a single Superior Grade Spiritual Artifact: a small bell, able to attack and defend. It had always been Pu Xian's hidden trump card, never lightly used unless at the brink of life and death.
He hesitated slightly; Pu Xian didn't understand Xu Fan's intent in asking this, and could only cautiously shake his head. "This poor monk has never seen one."
Xu Fan smiled and waved at Jiang Quan behind him. "Jiang Quan, let Master broaden his horizons and see what an Immortal Artifact truly is."
Buzz!
The Qing Niao Immortal Sword slid from its sheath, a razor-sharp aura surging straight at their faces. Jiang Quan held the sword, standing proudly and aloof.
With this Qing Niao Immortal Sword in hand, Jiang Quan was virtually invincible within the Mysterious Light Realm.
Hiss!
Pu Xian and Yunzhi at the side stared at the Qing Niao Flying Sword, unable to hold back a sharp intake of cold air.
Combat strength was directly tied to three things: the power of one's Cultivation Technique, the sharpness of one's weapon, and the abundance of Elixirs. And among the three, weapons were the most crucial.
Just think—four Immortal Emperors had all gone mad over a single Divine Artifact, plunging the world into wave after wave of bloody storms. Pu Xian and Yunzhi were seeing an Immortal Artifact for the first ti; how could their hearts not be shaken?
At the sa ti, in the depths of Pu Xian's eyes, a thick, blazing greed flashed by.
A re junior at the Mysterious Light Realm actually possessed such a priceless Immortal Artifact! While he, a dignified Buddha, a dignified Kai Yang Realm powerhouse, had only a single Spiritual Artifact! If this Immortal Sword belonged to him, his combat strength would definitely rise another whole level!
This Xu Fan was truly too arrogant! Such a precious Immortal Artifact, and he actually let a re Mysterious Light Realm brat safeguard it! He truly had no idea how sinister people's hearts could be! If soone snatched it away, he would regret it to death!
"This sword is called Qing Niao, originally a Taoist item. Before it had tasted Immortal blood, it hid its edge for many years. In the battle to annihilate the Taoist, the Qing Niao Flying Sword finally drank Immortal blood to its heart's content, revealing its sharpness."
"Master, having seen this sword, are you satisfied?"
Xu Fan calmly introduced the Qing Niao Immortal Sword to Pu Xian and Yunzhi, as if he simply hadn't noticed that trace of greed in Pu Xian's eyes.
Pu Xian loudly praised it, clapping his hands again and again. "Satisfied! Satisfied! What a sword! What a sword indeed! In a thousand years this poor monk has never seen such a Divine weapon. I never thought that today, thanks to Young Benefactor Xu's grace, my wish would be fulfilled!"
Though the Qing Niao Immortal Sword was precious enough to make Pu Xian's eyes burn green with envy, his rational mind still told him he absolutely could not make a move on Xu Fan at such a juncture.
Right now, there were simply too many eyes fixed on Xu Fan! Even if he turned hostile this instant and forcibly seized the Immortal Artifact for himself, it would probably be taken from him not long after he left, and might even bring lethal disaster down on his head!
Endure! I must endure!
However, when Xu Fan produced yet another spear, Pu Xian finally found it hard to hold himself back.
The Qing Niao Immortal Artifact was only an ordinary Immortal Artifact, strong in sharpness and speed, but not considered outstanding among Immortal Artifacts. Yet the Star Shatter Lance in Xu Fan's hand was a Top Grade among Top Grades, with an extrely illustrious origin—taken from the hand of an Immortal Venerable. Hidden within it was an earth-shaking Spearmanship; a single thrust was enough to shatter the stars!
With an Immortal Artifact of this level, let alone driving Pu Xian mad with desire—even Immortals and Immortal Monarchs would likely turn red-eyed over it.
What Pu Xian found even harder to accept was that Xu Fan had not only shown off one Immortal Artifact, but was going on and on! Did he really think this poor monk didn't dare make a move to seize them?
Ignoring the flush spreading across Pu Xian's face, Xu Fan's voice remained calm. "This spear is called Star Shatter. It originally belonged to an Immortal Venerable under a Taoist Master. On the Taoist Immortal Mountain, this spear and the Immortal Venerable's severed arm both fell into my hands."
"Master, having seen this spear, are you satisfied?"
This ti, though Xu Fan's voice was calm, in Pu Xian and Yunzhi's ears it was filled with murderous intent, scaring them so badly their hearts trembled, both of them feeling as if Xu Fan might, in the next instant, thrust the spear through their bodies and punch a bloody hole straight through.
Pu Xian especially already harbored greed toward these Immortal Artifacts; as a thief at heart, his guilty conscience made him all the more fearful. For a mont, he didn't even know how to respond to Xu Fan.
"Tch!" Behind Xu Fan, Jiang Quan let out a contemptuous snort.
Though this was Jiang Quan's first ti eting Pu Xian, he could clearly tell that this old bald donkey was far inferior to the black-robed elder or even to the Pope of the Church of Light and his ilk!
He had a thief's heart but no thief's guts, and worse, he couldn't read the situation at all.
How could Pu Xian endure such humiliation? He imdiately wanted to flare up in anger, using the opportunity to test Xu Fan—he might even get the chance to snatch an Immortal Artifact!
Whether it was the Qing Niao Immortal Sword or the Star Shatter Lance in Xu Fan's hand, as long as he could seize one of them, it would be worth it even if he had to flee while heavily injured! If he could seize both, then slip quietly into the upper realm and conceal his na, selling off just one of them would be enough for him to live in carefree comfort, never worrying about anything ever again!
However, Xu Fan's next sentence made Pu Xian's heart tremble, pounding wildly in his chest.
"Since Master remains silent, could it be that you haven't gotten a good enough look? Why don't I gift you an Immortal Artifact so you can enjoy playing with it and examining it up close?"
Pu Xian froze on the spot, then a surge of wild joy flooded his heart!
What exactly was this Xu Fan thinking? Such precious Immortal Artifacts, and he actually wanted to place them in his hands, let him play with them? Truly, people never cherish what they obtain too easily.
Yet just as Pu Xian was about to nod and accept, he suddenly jolted. Xu Fan's eyes seed so calm they were actually terrifying!
Even the stupidest person wouldn't place his weapon in an enemy's hands!
But for Pu Xian to refuse such a temptingly sweet offer from Xu Fan was also painfully difficult.
After several rounds of inner struggle, face flushing crimson, Pu Xian stamred, "Th-this… wouldn't be very appropriate, would it?"
"Mm, it is rather inappropriate." The corner of Xu Fan's mouth curled into a cold smile. "How about this, then: I'll wield the Immortal Artifacts and spar with Master for a bout, so you can properly experience their power. What do you think, Master?"
Hearing Xu Fan's almost naked provocation, Pu Xian shuddered and finally realized sothing.
Xu Fan's current strength was already unfathomable, and with two terrifying Immortal Artifacts in hand, even as a Kai Yang Realm powerhouse, how many chances did he really have of beating Xu Fan?
The answer made Pu Xian's whole body crawl with cold—his chances weren't even ten percent!
Pu Xian understood Xu Fan; without ninety percent certainty, Xu Fan would never have stepped into the Buddhist Sect, much less made such a high-profile appearance!
Xu Fan's smile turned icy while Pu Xian broke out in a cold sweat. Just as the situation was on the verge of exploding into an irreconcilable clash, Yunzhi at the side suddenly dropped to his knees with a thud and loudly cried, "Yunzhi greets the Abbot! Now that the Abbot has obtained these Divine Weapons, he will surely lead the Buddhist Sect to flourish! For a thousand autumns and ten thousand generations! To unify the martial world!"
