Chapter 733 – Subduing the Dragon (1/2)

In terms of quality, the Soaring Dragon sword was definitely an arcane treasure.

Arcane treasures were not divided into grades, as every single arcane treasure was unique. They possessed their own powers and abilities. In terms of resources, the Asura Field obviously exhausted many more resources than the Soaring Dragon sword to refine, but when it came to direct combat, the Soaring Dragon sword’s destructive power was still a little greater.

Previously, Li Qingshan had never opened the sumeru ring to refine the Soaring Dragon sword because he did not want the attention from provoking the Sword Collection palace. However, he had even fallen out with the Dragon King of Ink Sea now, so an additional Sword Collection palace made no difference!

The Traitorous Demon sword had its own, special ability, and it could constantly grow stronger. Perhaps one day in the future, it would become extremely powerful. But right now, it still could not be compared to an arcane-treasure-level renowned sword that had been passed down through the generations for thousands of years.

“A’yue, why are we here?” Xianghua Lu asked in confusion.

As the cloud descended, the Cloud Dream marsh extended off into the distance, becoming even grander and vaster. Even Xianghua Zi, who was racked with thoughts, temporarily forgot about everything around her. The rippling light reflected in her eyes as the deep, green colour constantly expanded.

“For travel!” Li Qingshan smiled.

A layer of mist that never dispersed enveloped the marsh. It rose and fell, and the hot wind blew around, extremely moist.

The vegetation on the islands in the lake was especially lush, forming piles of greenery and almost oozing past the edges of the islands. They seemed like huge flower pots. A flock of white water birds flew up from an island, flying past the lake towards another island as they called out.

Under the setting sun, it was picturesque. There was almost no natural scenery from his past life that could rival it.

He was obviously joking when he said it was for travel, but he was not exactly wrong. Was his current life not a journey?

The clouds dispersed below his feet, and he stood in the centre of the island. Around him were all dense, towering trees, obscuring the sun. It was still dusk outside, but it was already night in here.

Among them, the tallest one was obviously the Great Banyan Tree King.

However, the island was not peaceful.

Roar!

A strange roar rang out from the jungle. At that moment, thousands of birds were alarmed and took flight, circling over the island.

Xianghua Lu and Xianghua Zi both trembled. The island clearly had a master, and it was not a regular daemonic beast.

“Is it warning me?” Li Qingshan smiled, and with a flash, he arrived at the roar’s origin. He raised an eyebrow. “Oh, King Kong!”

From a branch, a huge silverback gorilla glared at his tiny figure. It balled its fists and thumped its chest, letting out a furious roar!

The foul air rushed over with saliva. Li Qingshan wrinkled his nose. “I want to borrow your place for a while. You don’t mind, right?”

His demon heart flashed, and demon qi gushed out.

The gorilla shrank back and turned around, fleeing to the other side of the island.

“Thanks!”

Li Qingshan waved his hand with a smile and returned to the side of the sisters. He said, “I’m going to start cultivating. You can go play! Don’t forget to come up with a good reason on how many hardships we faced when we escaped from the Zi Lotus altar and how many difficulties we encountered on the way before finally arriving at the headquarters for reinforcements. Xianghua Zi, I’ll leave this to you!”

After instructing them, Li Qingshan found a secluded cave and entered the Asura Field.

Atop the snow mountain, the fierce wind ruffled his scarlet hair. His demon qi surged out and entered the sumeru ring.

A while later, the sumeru ring opened up and revealed an extremely vast space. Li Qingshan did not even have the time to see what was inside.

A streak of golden light whistled over together with the cry of a dragon, rushing straight into the air.

Li Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky. He was in no hurry to chase after it.

The Soaring Dragon sword flew into the sky before suddenly running into an invisible barrier and bouncing back.

That was the boundary of the Asura Field. Under Li Qingshan’s control, it definitely was not something a masterless arcane treasure could breach!

The dragon cry became clearer and clearer. The Soaring Dragon sword turned into a golden dragon, scales, claws, and all. It was very imposing.

It sped off as a streak of golden light, leaving behind a golden arc as it rampaged through the Asura Field. It was constantly knocked back, unable to find a way out.

Suddenly, it looked back, and the dragon eyes locked onto Li Qingshan on the mountain peak below. It seemed to realise that he was the problem.

“Divine swords really are intelligent!”

Li Qingshan let out a howl and leapt up. The snow mountain beneath him collapsed loudly, and he was already high in the air, throwing a punch at the Soaring Dragon sword.

Renowned swords were like fierce horses. They had to be tamed by the strong!

Abruptly, the Soaring Dragon sword turned into a streak of golden light and shot towards Li Qingshan.

Bang!

The golden dragon hurtled away. Although it was intelligent, it was not under the control of a swordsman, so it was only a sword at the end of the day. How could it contend against Li Qingshan’s strength of the ox demon?

“Originally, I was worried about damaging it, so I didn’t use the Tremors of the Ox Demon, but I never expected to not even disperse the golden dragon it had transformed into. It really is a good sword!”

Li Qingshan praised with a smile and rose up. He was determined to refine the Soaring Dragon sword no matter what!
