Chapter 303: 303 Intelligence
[Gained fifty points of energy, current balance is six hundred and thirty-four points.]
After Gu Yang slew Cao Kunpeng with a single slash, he reached out and grabbed the black spear that was about to fly away.
[Energy source detected. Would you like to recharge?]
“Yes.”
This black spear was one of the world’s most famed eighteen divine weapons, the Astonishing God Spear.
Cao Kunpeng’s reputation as the Spear Saint relied entirely on this divine weapon.
Even among the divine weapons, there were different grades. In ancient times, these graded magical tools were known as Magic Treasures. Based on the strength of the Magic Treasure’s Primordial Spirit, they were divided from low to high into the grades of Ghost Spirit, True Form, Phantom God, and Pure Yang.
It was said that in ancient times, the differences in power between different grades of Magic Treasures were staggering.
However, after the Way of Heaven died, nearly all Magic Treasures have lost their Primordial Spirits and have only retained some spirituality.
Even the spiritual treasures no longer feel the presence of the Primordial Spirit.
The difference in power between different levels of Magic Treasures is not as great anymore. The strength of the power that can be exerted depends mainly on the strength of the owner.
For example, the Phoenix Feather Knife, which is also a Magic Treasure, can probably increase his Mana by about 20 percent.
Don’t underestimate this 20 percent. With his current strength, this 20 percent increase is enough to elevate his abilities to another level.
Besides that, this divine weapon is extremely sharp and capable of breaking through shields.
The Phoenix Feather Knife played a significant role in him easily killing Cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.
Because there is no presence of Primordial Spirits, it is difficult to judge the grades of the divine weapons.
However, being listed as one of the world’s most famous eighteen divine weapons, the grade of this Astonishing God Spear is certainly not low.
If it were any other divine weapon, Gu Yang would definitely be reluctant to use it for recharging.
But this Astonishing God Spear came from the Cao family and very likely was gifted by Chiming Heaven himself. How could he possibly keep it?
Who knows, one day someone might emerge from the Astonishing God Spear and stab him in the back.
[Recharge successful, gained two hundred energy points. Current balance is eight hundred and thirty-four points.]
Gu Yang was a little surprised. This spear was actually worth two hundred points, which was equivalent to the head of a second-layer Unleaking Realm person.
He remembered that when he was in the palace, he seized the God-Slaying Knife from the Wu Family, which was also a divine weapon. After recharging, he only received twenty energy points.
Now, this Astonishing God Spear could recharge two hundred points.
This disparity is too great.
“What a brilliant Nine Heavenly Strikes.”
Cao Jing’s short and thin body seemed even smaller in front of the Divine Ape. His voice was hoarse, revealing no traces of grief as though he didn’t care about the death of his clan member, Cao Kunpeng.
“Wu Shengtian really has good judgement.”
“With your current strength, no one in this world can handle you except for those two Celestial Beings and Qin Wu. Given your age, you are truly unprecedented since ancient times.”
There was a hint of awe in his tone, but he then changed the subject, “However, with your current strength, it is insufficient to confront the Four Great Sacred Lands. Neither your master nor that person from the Three Holy Gates will let you go.”
Gu Yang looked at him with interest and asked, “You’re saying all of this because you want me to spare you?”
Cao Jing lightly chuckled and said, “At our level, to fight over a bit of pride and resentment is unwise.”
“If you join forces with that foreigner, you might be able to kill me. But how many of the people here would have to die?”
“In fact, we can cooperate. If you want to deal with that person, I can provide you with some information.”
Seeing the sincere look on Cao Jing’s face, Gu Yang actually felt a bit of admiration. The future pillar of the clan died right in front of him, and he could still talk about cooperation with the murderer.
This man can be said to exemplify the concept of self-interest.
In comparison, Shen Yun had much more vitality.
However, he was right. If they really started fighting, he would focus on killing Su Qingzhen and the others. Gu Yang wasn’t sure if he could protect everyone.
Gu Yang asked, “What information?”
Cao Jing said, “You should already know about the Extreme Sun Nail. I’ll tell you another secret. In the past, my master was defeated by the ancient Divine Beast Taiyin Youying and had no choice but to merge with Chiming Heaven.”
