Chapter 260: Chapter 69: The Collapsing Martial Arts King, Don’t Come Any Closer

Great Qian Treasure Vault.

After learning about the Heart Demon King from the Purple Blue Fairy, Zhou Chen was slightly relieved and even somewhat anticipated the arrival of the Heart Demon King.

Because the Heart Demon King was a peerless beauty and also a Martial Arts King.

When the Heart Demon King used the Heart Demon Divine Techniques to possess someone else’s body, the power she could exert was limited. With the Celestial Fragrance Fairy’s Divine Power Realm body, it was impossible for her to confront him head-on.

If the Heart Demon King controlled Yu Huan’s body to deal with him, she would either poison him or try to control Zhou Chen’s mind with Heart Demon Divine Techniques when he was most relaxed.

But Zhou Chen had countermeasures for both scenarios.

Today, Zhou Chen, led by a strong member of the Royal Family, came to the Great Qian Treasure Vault to select treasures.

Originally, it was announced to the public that the Champion Marquis would be rewarded with two extraordinary martial arts skills and the choice of two treasures from the Great Qian Treasure Vault, but now the offer was doubled for Zhou Chen.

Previously, Zhou Chen had already chosen four extraordinary martial arts skills from the Scripture Pavilion: the Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies Saber, the Celestial Desolate Tyrant Fist, the Great Wilderness Heaven-Breaking Finger, and the Celestial Dragon City-Breaking Halberd.

These four martial arts skills were created by the Chu Tyrant Emperor and the Empress, possessing extraordinary power and could even evolve into Divine Techniques.

Zhou Chen was very satisfied.

After passing through numerous checkpoints, Zhou Chen finally arrived at the Great Qian Treasure Vault.

The vault contained all sorts of things, and Zhou Chen’s Qi Observation Technique almost blinded him.

“Prince Consort, you have a day to choose slowly. Whatever treasures you can select depend on your discerning eye!”

The eunuch leading Zhou Chen in smiled at him.

“Thank you!”

Zhou Chen strolled through the vault, observing everything.

The Qi Observation Technique was not infallible; treasures concealed themselves, and some hidden treasures looked just like ordinary stones, not to mention some treasures were sealed for preservation and more.

However, since he only needed to choose four items, Zhou Chen just looked for the spots with the brightest light to make his selection.

Especially Thunder Light Ruyi Hand, as Zhou Chen’s cultivation grew stronger, he found that the Thunder Light Ruyi Hand seemed to have no limits, far superior to ordinary Divine Techniques.

The Divine Techniques of this world were divided into Minor Divine Techniques, Great Divine Techniques, and Supreme Divine Techniques, but Zhou Chen felt even Supreme Divine Techniques were not as practical as his Thunder Light Ruyi Hand.

It was truly Ruyi!

His hand could not only heal injuries, detoxify, electrify, and move as fast as lightning, but also discern the strength and purpose of treasures.

All it required was contact.

Zhou Chen walked and stopped at random, touching here and there, soon arriving in front of a massive gray meteorite covered in dust.

This stone was as large as a house, and it was unknown how long it had been there.

In Zhou Chen’s eyes, its light was dazzling, and it had a color similar to the Soul Dao.

Zhou Chen touched it with his hand; although he didn’t know its name, he could clearly feel that it was a precious material for refining Soul Soldiers.

He thought of Qin Hongyu, Celestial Fragrance Fairy, Cheng Susu, Mu Ling’Er, Li Changhen, Ji Fengxia, Liu Ruyi, and others from the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror.

Although they could exert immense power without weapons, having powerful weapons could further enhance their strength and unleash greater might.

“Let’s choose this one!”

Zhou Chen instructed.

“Sure thing.”

The eunuch immediately registered it and had someone move it outside while introducing it to Zhou Chen:

“This large stone is called Starfall Soul Gold, the quintessential material for refining Soul Soldiers. You have a keen eye, Prince Consort!!”

“You’re too kind!”

Zhou Chen smiled faintly and continued his search.

As for weapons, Zhou Chen did not look at them.

The Martial Dao had the Myriad Manifestations Divine Weapon, and the Immortal Dao had the Celestial Fury Sword, both of which suited him perfectly; he needed no other weapons.

Zhou Chen focused on materials and rare treasures as his primary choice.

After wandering around for some time, Zhou Chen picked two more top-quality materials, Eternal Immortal Gold and Void Immortal Gold, and finally chose a plain, hard seed.

The surface of this seed was plain and unadorned; Zhou Chen’s Qi Observation Technique couldn’t reveal much, but when Zhou Chen touched it, he could vaguely sense the boundless vitality hidden deep within it.

It was definitely not an ordinary item!

After selecting the treasures, Zhou Chen left the vault and continued his fulfilling yet leisurely daily life.

He occasionally visited the Royal Library to read books and broaden his horizons.

Meanwhile.

Zhou Chen spent twenty million Wind and Moon Points to become a Tier Five Alchemy Master and another twenty million to become a Tier Five Artifact Refiner.

As for arrays, Zhou Chen had already become a Tier Five Array Master at the ancient Celestial Fury Sect’s cave abode.

Now.

Zhou Chen had reached Tier Five in alchemy, artifact refining, and arrays.

Tier Five corresponded to the Immortal Dao Divinity Transformation Realm and the Martial Arts Divine Realm, and Zhou Chen’s martial uncle, Wan Zirou, was only a Tier Five Peak Array Master and Alchemy Master, just like Zhou Chen.

Thus.

Zhou Chen’s daily life became a routine of three refinement practices.

He used Starfall Soul Gold mixed with Eternal Immortal Gold and Void Immortal Gold to refine the Soul Soldier Eternal Star Soul Armor and Void Soul Fall Sword.

These two Soul Soldiers, one for offense and one for defense, were the best Soul Soldiers derived by Zhou Chen after spending fifty million Wind and Moon Points, perfectly matching Qin Hongyu, Cheng Susu, Ji Fengxia, Liu Ruyi, and other Divine Cultivators.

Moreover, these two Soul Soldiers, for offense and defense, were similar to artifact embryos, made from the best materials.

Once Qin Hongyu and the others recognized them and nurtured them, they would become their Lifebound Soul Treasures, and their shapes would not be fixed but alter to suit them.

Even though Zhou Chen had abundant Magical Power and Divine Power, practicing three refinements daily, he could only forge one set a day.

Dust Sword Peak.

Artifact Refining Room.

The flames surged, resembling five Fire Dragons, each displaying a different color, the Five Elements Divine Flame condensed from Zhou Chen’s Five Emperors Five Elements Skill.

With dexterous fingers, under Zhou Chen’s masterful control, the Eternal Star Soul Armor and Void Soul Fall Sword were crafted.

The Eternal Star Soul Armor exuded a dreamy and mysterious eternal luster, soft like water yet incredibly resilient, as if eternal and immortal.

The Void Soul Fall Sword appeared ethereal and illusory, carrying a soul-oppressing presence, as if it could sever and obliterate a person’s soul.

“You’re really quite the prodigy!”
