"Dragon Ball, Phoenix Rod, and Qilin Seal are well-known within the three races, but their popularity in the vast wasteland is average."
The reasons behind this situation still lie in the fact that the chieftains of the three races themselves possessed formidable strength. During battles, they didn't rely on their magical artifacts and did not put much effort into refining them either. Instead, they often considered them as symbols within their own races.
Their bodies are powerful enough to crush everything, and they have a low dependence on magical artifacts.
This is like Yang Jian's Sanbian two-edged sword and Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang. Having a weapon is good, but it can also do without one.
At this moment, Deng Chanyu fixated on the Phoenix Staff in her hand, looked up and down, left and right twice. She wouldn't be hallucinating, would she? This thing should be in the hands of Yuanshun, not in Luo Xuan's. How did it end up with Luo Xuan?
She asked Luo Xuan with a firm tone, "This object is quite auspicious to me. May I know where you obtained it from?"
Luo Xuan was about to explode on the spot! Previously, he thought that Deng Chanyu was only very skilled, and other aspects were average. There were many one-trick ponies like her in the vast wasteland of HuoHuan. He never expected that she would be so fast, and before he had time to react, his bamboo staff was forcibly taken away by her.
Is it easy to find such a Primordial Spiritual Treasure? The process was almost a life-and-death struggle! Now, how is that possible?
At this moment, his three faces were full of anger, and nine eyes emitted jumping malevolent fire like snakes, clearly he was angry to the extreme.
"You filthy wretch, return my magical artifact to me!"
Luo Xuan's five arms were forming hand seals, and his mouth kept reciting incantations.
The time he had with the Phoenix Staff was too short. He had previously worried that it might be taken away by that strange and bizarre five-colored divine light cultivation, so he used his own origin, namely the source fire essence, to temper it. The sacrifice was considerable, and his original profound cultivator realm had been reversed by a piece.
At this moment, he believed that he still had the ability to retrieve the Phoenix Staff. However, an unexpected incident occurred.
Deng Chanyu could feel a very powerful force trying to retrieve the bamboo staff, but the staff was sentient and resisted Luo Xuan's summoning on its own without her intervention.
The bamboo staff itself was very kind to her, which was a love higher than bloodline and spirit. In a flash, it seemed to merge with her image of her deceased mother in her previous life. It was warm and kind, even if she was exhausted or in pain. This harbor could completely embrace everything about herself, without expecting anything in return.
After being transported here for nearly twenty years, she had forgotten this feeling. At the moment, she felt her mood easing and hoped the warmth would last a little longer, allowing her to rest in this embrace for a while longer.
Empress Ta Ji noticed that her expression was a bit off, and her movements were quick. She took out the Setting Sun Bow and shouted, ordering her beast spirits to surround Luo Xuan. If he suddenly attacked, the beasts would rush over to bite him, and she would provide long-range support with her arrows.
Luo Xuan was sweating profusely, completely unaware that five semi-transparent beast spirits were surrounding him.
"What kind of evil spell are you using?" He exerted himself repeatedly, his face deathly pale, yet the Phoenix Staff remained in Deng Chanyu's hand without the slightest movement. It was as if the seal he had previously set with his own essence did not exist at all.
"How is this possible? This is impossible! What kind of logic is this?" He was completely stunned.
Deng Chanyu did not remain in a daze for long. The Phoenix Staff did not have the ability to control one's mind, but rather the sudden encounter with this warm scene allowed her to relax instantly. The force she was exerting was momentarily not strong enough. To put it bluntly, her feelings were as if she were sleeping in, even though the alarm clock had rung. She didn't want to get up and wanted to stay in bed a little longer.
Looking at Luo Xuan, whose face was contorted with anger, she thought, the Phoenix Staff is a auspicious object for Luo Xuan, but for her, it's not about being auspicious—it's simply her thing!
She forcefully switched from her slothful mode to the mode of a true HuoHuan golden immortal.
She casually swung the bamboo staff around twice. This was originally a supreme Primordial Spiritual Treasure of great strength, but it had been broken by a colossal force, leaving only half of it. Now, it was like Zhao Gongming's twenty-four "Dinghai Beads," with its own Dao essence partially lacking, so it could only be considered a Primordial Spiritual Treasure.
Luo Xuan gritted his teeth and distorted his face. One of his arms had been cut off earlier, and the blood was still spraying wildly, but he chose to ignore it.
He was seen holding the Zhaotian Seal in one hand and raising the Wulong Wheel with the other, his two hands...
His arms stretched out, creating a sea of clouds and smoke across ten thousand miles. Numerous rockets were ready to launch, and in the end, his hand held a fire-like spiritual sword.
The rockets flying in the sky rushed towards the surrounding beast spirits. He opened an exit near the ox and knocked down Guanyin. Then, he ferociously charged towards Deng Chanyu. With that fierce and menacing posture, it seemed as though he would bite her to pieces.
Deng Chanyu smiled slightly, and Luo Xuan, seeing only a flash of red light before him, felt that his body, soul, and spirit were suppressed by some great cultivation technique, and he instantly entered a space of fiery red.
Deng Chanyu didn't hold back any more. The Phoenix Staff greatly strengthened her fire cultivation, and with this primordial spiritual treasure, the fire-like radiance had already reached the same level as Kong Yan's. It was enough to deal with Luo Xuan, who was a combination of him and his staff.
"Such a unfortunate fellow! He actually found a magical artifact that matches his nature so well, and he went so far to bring it over. Haha," Empress Ta Ji withdrew an axe and said, "Would you like me to send him down?"
Deng Chanyu kept waving her hand, "Never mind, the poor guy is already in a bad enough situation. Everything seems..."
Deng Chanyu believes that this is not an accident, but she just doesn't know who the powerful person was who sent the Phoenix Staff to her.
But this magical artifact is indeed very suitable for her! Just the effect of strengthening the power of fire cultivation is already incomparably powerful.
Even though this gift of fate had already been secretly marked with a price, she would not give it up; more debts are not a worry.
She didn't know what this incident had to do with Luo Xuan, and concerned about the unknown causes and consequences, she didn't kill him. She released the red light externally, and Luo Xuan, who was unconscious, was thrown to the side of the road by her.
Deng Chanyu held the Phoenix Staff in one hand, and with her and the staff's combined effort, the source fire essence that Luo Xuan had inserted into the staff was gradually pushed out. This object was not a boon but a tarnish to the Phoenix Staff, which is a primordial artifact. Keeping it was pointless, so she decided to return it to its original owner.
After thinking it over, she also took out the Feiyin Sword that she had previously taken away. She had originally intended to give this sword to Long Ji, but with so many things to handle, she temporarily forgot about it.
Deng Chanyu found the Wan'Ao Cauldron quite comfortable to use, so she didn't plan to return it. The Feiyin Sword, on the other hand, she gave back to Luo Xuan.
She returned a small gift to the one who sent her the Phoenix Staff, even though this gift had previously belonged to Luo Xuan. Just say if it's a surprise or not?
Deng Chanyu casually threw the unconscious Luo Xuan beside the road. It was unlikely for such a profound immortal to be eaten by tigers, leopards, and wolves in the mountains. If another immortal found his body, took him back to refine instruments, elixirs, or corpses, that would be Luo Xuan's own misfortune and had nothing to do with Deng Chanyu. She and Ta Ji sang songs as they returned to Emei Mountain.
