Chapter 265: The Black Devil Frost, The Divine Weapon

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

“Red-scaled Python? What is it?” After casting the Knot Golden Net, Junior Leopard withdrew his hands. There was a golden light flashing on the net. In the golden light, the talisman loomed and in the blink of an eye, the net shrunk to the size of a palm. The strange pythons caught in the net were swaying as if they had shrunk as well.

This was the magic of the Knot Golden Net. It was not only tight, but it also had spatial property. Although it was impossible to completely separate out independent space like the Space Division Skill, it had space inside itself. As long as it trapped something, it could shrink down to palm-size with the prey within. Thus, it was of some use.

“I don’t know why these Red-scaled Pythons turn black, but they are definitely Red-scaled Pythons. Perhaps they stayed in the pool so long that they mutated!” Green Spirit said, “They’re not very strong spiritual creatures, but their blood is extremely precious. They were extinct in my time. I can’t believe that there are so many here! How fortuitous!”

“Are they valuable? They’re easy to catch!” Junior Leopard asked, sounding confused. It was common sense that the more precious things were, the harder they were to get, and the less there were. However, these black snakes were not only numerous but also not very strong. In the water, they might be able to reach the strength of Level Seven, but under the attack of Junior Leopard’s celestial device, they had no chance to fight back.

“You idiot, it’s because the Red-scaled Pythons are so easy to catch that they became extinct! They’re not strong and their organs aren’t so precious. Both the texture of their scales and their strength are low amongst spiritual creatures. Also, they’re not good materials, only their blood has a singular use!”

“What kind of use?”

“Their blood can stabilize acupoints. Aren’t you trying to detect and refine acupoints? With this, you can yield twice the result with half the effort in refining acupoints!”

“Really?” Junior Leopard was pleasantly surprised. Seeing a few black snakes coming out from the bottom of the pool, he raised the Knot Golden Net and tried to cast it again.

“You don’t need so much!” At this point, Green Spirit said, “It’s enough now! If you have time, you might as well think of how to remove the thing on the bottom. I can feel that this Meteorite Metal not only contains the kindling of Nanming Ignis but is also a super material, which is much more precious than the kindling of Nanming Ignis!”

“No wonder it’s so heavy!” Junior Leopard muttered, glancing at Cao Xuetang.

Cao Xuetang had come over at this time, and his complexion was much ruddier than before. Looking at the Meteorite Metal at the bottom of the pool, he was in a bit of a quandary. Suddenly, a dozen black snakes were drilled from the bottom of the pool. They feared Junior Leopard’s Knot Golden Net and they did not dare to come forward. However, they went round and round the Meteorite Metal, which made it hard for Junior Leopard and Cao Xuetang to act.

Although the Knot Golden Net was good, it was only a Psychic Celestial Device and it had a limited capacity. The black snakes that had just been caught did not fill it, but it was almost full. There were so many Red-scaled Pythons around the Meteorite Metal that perhaps he might not be able to catch them all. What was more, the ones that had been caught might escape. Then that would be a bit of a pyrrhic victory.

Moreover, due to the high water pressure at the bottom of the pool, his powerful Poison Cold Shield was more than enough to defend, but it was not powerful enough to attack.

“Brother Cao, you stay here for a moment. I’ll go and look at that thing and see if there’s any chance of taking the kindling of Nanming Ignis back.”

“Then please!” Cao Xuetang was self-aware, knowing that he could only protect himself now and had to rely on Junior Leopard to get the kindling of Nanming Ignis. He took a cyan wooden bottle from his inner pocket and handed it to Junior Leopard. ” This is a Wood Spirit Bottle, it’s specially used to collect the kindling of various types of spiritual fire. If you get the kindling, use the bottle!”

“Okay!”

Junior Leopard thought that the cyan wooden bottle in his hand felt a little heavy. A fine, lingering heat flow passed from the Wood Spirit Bottle to his body. The Internal Qi in his body seemed to be greatly nourished as a myriad of thin and dense Internal Qi tentacles stretched out to entangle his tendons and meridians. At once, Junior Leopard felt unspeakably comfortable. If he had not been at the bottom of the cold pool, he would have sat down on the floor to regulate his breathing.

“What a waste, what a waste! It’s made of Heavenly Evergreen, the same material as the green lamp’s wick. To think that it was only used to refine a Psychic Celestial Device. It’s too much, too much!”

“Shut up!” Junior Leopard gave a hiss and continued, “You just said that it’s made of Heavenly Evergreen. The green lamp is also made of the Heavenly Evergreen and its grade is higher than the Wood Spirit Bottle. Why can’t the green lamp nourish the Internal Qi?”

“It’s not the green lamp that can’t nourish the Internal Qi, but it has lost its intelligence. Additionally, the Tusita Fire was taken by you. Hence, it can’t produce the same effect as the Wood Spirit Bottle.”

“You mean that if I return the Tusita Fire…”

“Forget it, it’s just Heavenly Evergreen. Wood can promote fire. It produces such an effect because of the fire property of your Internal Qi. It will work once or twice. If it’s used too many times, it will be useless!” Green Spirit sneered and added, “Even if you sleep with this bottle in your arms all day long, it won’t necessarily be good for your Internal Qi. Be honest. Don’t be greedy! What matters most to you right now are two things. The first one is refining acupoints, and the second one is forging a Pure Yang Celestial Device. A Pure Yang Celestial Device will not only nourish your Internal Qi, but it will also nourish your body and soul. It’s much better than the Heavenly Evergreen!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you and not be greedy!” Junior Leopard helplessly nodded. Then with a flash, he moved towards the Meteorite Metal.

Seeing that Junior Leopard was coming, the surrounding Red-scaled Pythons all approached him. However, just like the beginning, after a few black snakes were defeated by Junior Leopard’s Poison Cold Shield, the Red-scaled Pythons, which had some spiritual intelligence, dared not to come anymore. Junior Leopard finally arrived next to the Meteorite Metal and slowly began to check.

Gently stroking the Meteorite Metal, Junior Leopard could feel that it was radiating heat. Even though it was in the cold pool, it was not affected by the icy chill of the bottom of the cold pool. He tapped on it and heard a muffled sound. Then he pushed it hard, but it didn’t move.

“It’s really heavy!” Junior Leopard thought. He gathered his Qi into his Dantian and sank to the bottom of the cold pool. The silt at the bottom of the pool was thick and soft. He stepped on it and sank half a foot deeper.

“I really need to be careful. If I really get stuck in the silt, it’ll be a real hassle!” Junior Leopard thought to himself, “But this will make my lower body more secure!”

Standing firm at the bottom of the pool, Junior Leopard put out his hand and began to push the Meteorite Metal. Now that his lower body was firmly in place, something changed— the Meteorite Metal moved a little.

Junior Leopard’s strength was vast; otherwise, he would not have been able to wield two iron hammers of nearly 1,000 kilograms.

If it hadn’t been in the pool, Junior Leopard would have hit it with his hammers. Unfortunately, under the immense pressure of the water, even given his power, there was no way to wield two big hammers. He had to find a way to get it out of the cold pool first.

“It’s too big and too heavy. It’s not easy to move it out!”

Junior Leopard wanted to put it in the separate space with the Space Division Skill, but when he saw Cao Xuetang was looking at him, he dismissed the idea. He was not afraid of the Space Division Skill being unable to do the same thing as a Space Ring, for dividing an independent space in order to store objects was only a subsidiary function of the Space Division Skill. Moreover, the Space Division Skill had other wonderful functions and Junior Leopard believed that even Individual Immortals and Genuine Immortals would be enchanted if they knew of these.

If one reached the Individual Immortal Realm, he would have certain control over the space without learning the Space Division Skill. However, spatial special techniques, like the Space Division Skill and the Three Realms Division, could make an Individual Immortal or a Genuine Immortal become an expert in space. These were two completely different concepts. Green Spirit had already told him the key points very clearly. Thus, Junior Leopard would never let anyone know that he knew the Space Division Skill.

Since he could not use the Space Division Skill to take this Meteorite Metal, there was only one way to do it.

To push it forcibly!

The Meteorite Metal had already moved, so only a little more force would get it out of the silt. If only he could get it out of the silt, it would be alright. The water at the bottom of the pool was so buoyant that Junior Leopard was confident about getting the Meteorite Metal out.

But when he tried again, trouble came. With his great push, the Meteorite Metal moved more. But at this moment, a stream of black water came out of the bottom of the Meteorite Metal. An ice cold breath was passing through the Poison Cold Shield and straight into his body.

Junior Leopard was not surprised, but rather happy. The first thing he thought of, was that he might meet something good.

“It’s the Earth Vein Evil. Is there Earth Vein Evil Qi?”

Over the years, he had been watching the Earth Vein Evil Qi. After all, he only mastered the Extreme Yang Heavenly Sword and half of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. High-quality Earth Vein Evil Qi was hard to find, so it was difficult for him to completely master the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. Now suddenly, there was such a cold air, his reaction was certainly more expectation than a surprise.

“Black Devil Frost!”

Seeing the sudden appearance of the black water, Green Spirit screamed again. Maybe what happened today was really a surprise to him, so he was a bit dumbfounded.

“Black Devil Frost? What’s that? The Earth Vein Evil Qi? You mean here?” Junior Leopard urgently asked.

“No, this isn’t Evil Qi, but a cultivation method. It’s Gang Qi!” Green Spirit marveled, “No wonder the Meteorite Metal fell from the sky and made such a deep hole. No wonder the water here is so cold. No wonder those Red-scaled Pythons have mutated. It turns out that the Meteorite Metal was knocked down from a hollow with the Black Devil Frost!”

“What? It’s Gang Qi?” Junior Leopard almost screamed, “The cold pool was so deep and so large. The Meteorite Metal had fallen from the sky so long ago, at least 7,000 to 8,000 years. How is it possible that the Gang Qi’s strength hasn’t dissipated after such a long time?”

“It’s not intentional! If I guessed right, it was the man who practiced the Black Devil Frost that knocked down the Meteorite Metal in the course of his battle with others. Hee hee, the Black Devil Frost is one of the three kinds of Gang Qi of authentic tradition. Only the disciples of the Moon Palace can practice it to this point!”

Junior Leopard didn’t say anything and avoided the black water. He was disappointed. As for the Moon Palace, it should be a school’s name in the antiquity times. After so many years, it had probably vanished without a trace. So it was not worth worrying about.

The black water spread. Very soon, a very strong chill spread all over the place. Junior Leopard didn’t care it. Although the Black Devil Frost could penetrate through his Poison Cold Shield, there were not much left when it entered Junior Leopard’s body after being absorbed by the Poison Cold Shield. After all, so many years passed, it had been diluted a lot and it did not hit him directly. Besides, his own Internal Qi was not affected too much. Thus, he launched the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique and the chill was driven away.

Cao Xuetang was not so lucky. When the Black Devil Frost spread, he felt uncomfortable. Seeing the black water rolling in, he could only drive his Gang Qi up to escape the black Gang Qi, which was enough to destroy his Gang Qi and freeze him. Thus, Junior Leopard saw a very strange scene. The black Gang Qi seemed to be chasing Cao Xuetang all the way towards the pool surface.

“Now, the trouble has gone!” Looking at Cao Xuetang’s back, Junior Leopard smiled in the heart. With a wave of his sleeve, he launched the Space Division Skill and put the Meteorite Metal along with the silt under it, into a divided space.

After a space division, the bottom of the pool became smooth and a flood of black water gushed out of the bottom.

“The Black Devil Frost is so powerful!” He had no intention of taking on the unowned Gang Qi that was left by an ancient, so he moved to rush out of the pool. Naturally, he was much faster than Cao Xuetang. Soon, Junior Leopard arrived close to Cao Xuetang, who was drowning in the black water and stretched out his hand to catch Cao Xuetang. Instantly, he sped up, and in a blink of an eye, they rushed out of the mirror-like pool surface. The black water did not leave the cold pool but merged with the current. From the outside, the cold pool was not much different barring that it was a little deeper and colder than before.

“Brother Cao, are you alright?”

Once out of the cold pool, Cao Xuetang sat on the ground and began to regulate his breathing. If Junior Leopard did not pull him out just now, he would’ve been stuck in the black water to become a lump of ice.

After regulating his breathing for more than one hour, he felt a little better. He opened his eyes and looked at Junior Leopard with gratitude. He said, “Thanks for your help! Without you, I might have been frozen in this cold pool!”

“It’s no bother, not worth mentioning!” Junior Leopard helplessly said, “Unfortunately, I didn’t expect that there would be such a strong cold poison down there!”

“You’re not to blame! To get the fire, the stone must be moved to the shore. Thus, we have to move it. It’s just that we’re out of luck!” Cao Xuetang bitterly said.

Junior Leopard nodded thoughtfully. “Let’s find another way. Anyway, it’s in this pool and it won’t be lost. How is your injury? Do you want to have a rest and recuperate for some time?”

“No, my injury isn’t that bad. I’ll be fine in two to three days!” Cao Xuetang shook his head and said, “I’ll stay here!”

“Okay!” Junior Leopard handed the Wood Spirit Bottle in his hand back to Cao Xuetang and added, “I won’t use this bottle for the time being. You can put it away first. I didn’t get hurt, but I consumed a lot. Tomorrow I’ll go down again and see if I can find a chance to get the kindling of Nanming Ignis.”

Hearing these words, Cao Xuetang showed a very grateful expression despite showing a slither of struggle in his eyes. Eventually, he could not resist the temptation of the kindling of Nanming Ignis and said, “Then… then, please! I will repay you in the future!”

“We’re like family. Don’t mention it!” Junior Leopard smiled, looking like a pure high school student, but he had already cursed in his heart, “Damn it, this guy of the Sect of Flame is really not a good man. I would have thrown you into the pond to feed the pythons if it was not for the fear of offending the sissy Prince Xiaoming. You wouldn’t be able to talk here then!”

“Anyway, the trip is worth it! At least our fellowship is established. I saved his life again and now Cao Xuetang already owes me two lives. If he wins power in the Sect of Flame in the future, he must give me some benefit, otherwise, even Prince Xiaoming can’t protect him!”

Junior Leopard wrathfully thought.



At the end of the town centralization, the yard that was destroyed by Lin Xiaoqing and Junior Leopard had almost been rebuilt. Anyway, it was small and the process was not very complicated. Once again, Junior Leopard lived in it. As soon as he returned to the yard, he set up the Yin and Yang Dust Formation and removed the Meteorite Metal from the space.

“You are right. It was actually knocked down by someone!” Junior Leopard wonderingly said. Though it was no longer at the bottom of the pool, a layer of silt still encased the lower part of the Meteorite Metal. Alas, it was no longer an obstacle.

The Meteorite Metal was so heavy that Junior Leopard felt the ground shake as it hit the ground. It immediately sank half a foot into the ground. However, the part that sank was not the part encased in silt, because Junior Leopard turned it upside down.

Gently wiping away a layer of silt, Junior Leopard saw a shallow palm print. The print was incomplete, but more than half of it remained. It looked as if someone had pushed the Meteorite Metal from the side.

“Nonsense, of course, I’m not wrong! The Black Devil Frost was the most famous Gang Qi of my time. Even in the Moon Palace, there were very few people mastering it. So I can’t be wrong. Boy, forget it. Get to work!”

“What? To work?” asked Junior Leopard.

“Break the Meteorite Metal with your two big hammers! The kindling of Nanming Ignis is inside!” Green Spirit said, “Having been forged by the Black Devil Frost and the Nanming Ignis for so many years, the Meteorite Metal had become a useful material!”

“It’s become a useful material? You mean…”

Born in a smelting family, Junior Leopard certainly knew the mean of becoming a useful material. It meant that this material would become a super weapon with some slight refining and wouldn’t require too many procedures.

However, Green Spirit was a Great Ancient Demon and proficient in necromancy. He must have different interpretations of “becoming a useful material” from those of ordinary smelting families like the Wu Family.

“If I’m not mistaken, most of the Meteorite Metal is made up of Taiyi Jade-scaled Gold. I have seen your two big hammers in your space. They’re extraordinary. Now that you have the Tusita Fire, you can just make a Divine Weapon!”

“A Divine Weapon?” Junior Leopard raised his eyebrows. He had heard of wizard weapons, but he had never heard of Divine Weapons.

“You can change its size at will. It’s like your Knot Golden Net, but it’s a little different!”

“Do you mean I can refine my hammers so that I can change their size at will?” Junior Leopard cheerfully asked.

“It’s impossible. Their materials are excellent, but they have been forged broken. They can only be used as offcut!” said Green Spirit without mercy.

“What? Take my two hammers as offcut?” Junior Leopard cried angrily, “You know they’re my strongest weapons!”

“Fists are small hammers. Your punching skills have reached a higher level. What’s the use of the two hammers?” Seeing Junior Leopard trying to argue, Green Spirit went on, “I know, you want to increase the lethality using their weight. But you’ve gone the wrong way. Instead of relying on hammers to enhance your lethality, you should think about making your two fists more powerful than your twin hammers. Otherwise, with your extremely strange and grand fist intent and high cultivation, you still won’t realize the final step of crushing vacuum!”

“But…”

“Don’t hesitate! You practiced punching skills, and now your fist intent has been condensed. Using your hammers to increase power will only delay the progress of your punching skills!” Green Spirit interrupted Junior Leopard, “Rest assured, I will help you to make a Divine Weapon more powerful than your twin hammers!”

“I hope so!” Junior Leopard said, somewhat deflated, “But, I warn you that if you break my hammers but fail to make a Divine Weapon…”

“I am in your hands now. What are you worried about?” said Green Spirit impatiently.
