Chapter 951 Ancient Artifact III
Chapter 951 Ancient Artifact III
'He was not an ordinary human, but he was an existence more terrifying than the Lord Black Tortoise!' The old beast inwardly muttered as his eyes remained focused on Ling Yun's figure. 'As far as I remember, there is only one creature that stands above all the beasts; even mythical beasts will cower before it, and it is a primordial creature called the Primordial Chaos Dragon! However, no one had seen it again for millions or billions of years; suddenly, it reappeared in this remote realm.'
Ya Xixian, who was sitting on Wu Gui's shell, immediately curled up and hid inside her own shell. 'Ugh! That man's aura really scared me! I'm afraid he will eat me alive!'
"Stop!" When he took out the chaos dragon scythe, Lu Yanjing moved in front of Ling Yun, spreading both arms to the side while shouting angrily. "Are you insane? If you destroy the dome, you will destroy the artifact, and I will also die in your hands!"
Previously, Lu Yanjing couldn't believe it when Wu Gui told her that Ling Yun could destroy the artifact, but her opinion changed completely after he experienced the horror of her aura for herself. 'Damn it! I thought the Earth Vein Needle was already powerful, but its grade was still far below that of his scyte.'
"Hmm?" Ling Yun observed Lu Yanjing with his blood-red eyes, causing her to shiver. "How am I supposed to retrieve that ancient artifact if I don't destroy the dome? Given that the ancient artifact is associated with the earth element, and both of my wives have it, I wish to claim it for one of them.
"Stupid!" Lu Yanjing shouted at Ling Yun again. "The Earth Vein Needle, this dome, and I are one! If you destroy the dome, I will perish along with the artifact! Moreover, I am the spirit of the ancient artifact, and I am the one who can assess whether they are worthy of wielding it or not!"
Ling Yun nodded in understanding, stored his scythe again, and returned to his human form. "I don't have much time to waste, so you can assess their suitability and determine whether they are worthy or not."
'Tch! Who does he think he is? Even my old master never dared to order me around!'
However, Ling Xi spoke to her directly. "Hey! Don't compare your old master to our husband; you better follow his words, or he will run out of patience and destroy the dome instantly."
Lu Yanjing let out a heavy sigh before observing the two women, but then she extended her hand to them. "Hold my hands and release your earth Qi as high as possible."
Both women immediately held Lu Yanjing's hands and acted according to Lu Yanjing's words, but she shook her head vigorously after she felt Long Qiu's earth element. 'Although she possesses a strong earth element, it is insufficient to wield the Earth Vein Needle, and using its ability will instantly deplete her qi.'
'Long Qiu is not yet able to use it with her current cultivation.' Ling Yun turned to Ling Xi with a raised eyebrow. 'The Earth Vein Needle is an ancient artifact, so they need a large amount of Qi to be able to use it.'
Ling Yun released a heavy sigh before asking her. 'What about Xingcai? Her cultivation is no different from Qiu'er's, so their quantity and quality should be equal, right?'
'That's right.' Ling Xi nodded in response to Ling Yun. 'However, it's not just the quality and quantity of their Qi that determines their worthiness to wield that ancient artifact, especially since both can continue to improve as their cultivation increases. Moreover, this spirit has been staying here for too long, and he wants to leave this place as quickly as possible, so she doesn't have the patience to wait for them.'
'Most likely, this spirit will choose you to be her master.' Ling Yun turned to Zhou Yu directly. 'The quality of your earth element is higher than theirs, and your qi quantity is also abundant, so I'm sure that she will choose you.'
After hearing that, Ling Yun nodded in understanding to the two spirit women and observed Lu Yanqing again, but he really wasn't interested in having that artifact, mainly because his Chaos Dragon Sycthe was much stronger compared to the Earth Vein Needle, so it was the most perfect weapon for him.
'This girl is much better than her sister, but it's still not enough to wield the Earth Vein Needle.' Lu Yanjing, with an inward sigh of disappointment, let go of their hands and turned to face Ling Yun. However, her following words left both women completely disappointed. "Their earth element is indeed quite high, especially this woman named Zhang Xingcai, but they are not worthy of being my new master. Compared to them, I can feel that you also have earth qi, and you are obviously much better than them, so I want you to be my master."
"No." Ling Yun unhesitatingly rejected Lu Yanjing's request. "I don't need any other artifacts for now, so you should choose one of them."
"But-"
"The decision is yours." Ling Yun sternly interrupted Lu Yanjing. "If you want to leave this place, then you can choose one of them. Otherwise, we will leave you here, and you will have to wait a little longer to find a suitable person to be your master. They may still be weak in your eyes, but they are my wives, and I can help them become stronger faster, so you don't have to worry about meaningless things."
'Tsk! He's really arrogant! He's incredible, but his own cultivation is still too weak, making it impossible for him to help them!'
Ling Xi and Zhou Yu, who read her mind, could only shake their heads, especially since she underestimated Ling Yun too much. 'This little spirit is truly foolish! However, after she stays with us for quite some time, her eyes will definitely open, and she will no longer look down on him.'
'What should I do now? Do I really have to choose one of these two weak women to be my new master? They could still become stronger, but I would have to wait for a long time before they could use the Earth Vine Needle to its full potential. Moreover, I don't know how long it will take for other cultivators to be able to find the artifact and come here to retrieve it, and I might have to wait another million years.' Lu Yanjing continued to wonder in her heart for a long time, but she finally came to a decision after considering everything, and she pointed at Zhang Xingcai. "In that case, I will choose her, but you'd better quickly help her break through to the Five God Realm. Otherwise, she won't be able to use it, and the artifact will be a waste in her hands."
Ling Yun nodded with satisfaction after listening to Lu Yanjing's answer. "You can begin now, and once you finish, we can leave this place."
Zhang Xingcai was naturally happy with Lu Yanjing's decision to choose her as her new master, but she felt bad for Long Qiu. "Qiu, I-"
"You don't need to feel sorry for me." While shaking his head, Long Qiu interrupted Zhang Xingcai. "We are both sisters of the same husband, so I also feel happy if this female spirit chooses you as her new master. Moreover, our husband will not negelect me, and he will definitely find me another artifact in the future, so you don't need to think about it anymore and accept her taking the artifact."
"Haha." Ling Yun laughed and hugged Long Qiu's waist. "Not only you, but I will also try to find the best artifact for each of you. Moreover, we will go to the mysterious tower soon, and there are so many valuable items there, so I think we might be able to get a suitable artifact for you all."
Long Qiu smiled when he heard that. "Hehehe! You said it yourself, so you have to keep your words, okay?"
"That's for sure!" After that, Ling Yun turned to Lu Yanjing. "Do it now."
Lu Yanjing grabbed Zhang Xingcai's shoulder and brought her into the dome, and she began the process of accepting her as her new master, which made the dome glow continuously.
"Now we just have to wait for the results." Ling Yun then turned to Wu Gui and teased him. "Hey, not only did you find this artifact, but you also found the right woman for you."
Unlike Ya Xixian, who was stunned by Ling Yun's words, Wu Gui laughed awkwardly at that. "Brother, I came here because of this artifact, but I found Miss Xixian sad on the surface because she remembered her late mother, so I invited her to see the underwater scenery."
