Book 6: Chapter 36: Sacrifice For Sword

When Bai Qiuran returned to the divine palace, Jiang Lan immediately greeted him, helped him take off the cloak covered with it, and hung it up.

“I heard God of Thunder has been here?”

Bai Qiuran came to sit down at the table in the bedroom and asked:

“What is he here for?”

“It’s nothing. He asked about the authority and I glossed it perfunctorily.”

Jiang Lan replied.

“The authority?”

Bai Qiuran was a little wary when he heard this.

“Did Eastern Emperor Taiyi notice something?”

“Yes, but rest assured, I have a way to hide it.”

Jiang Lan exposed this topic and asked:

“Have you found a clue?”

Originally, Bai Qiuran wanted to continue to care about how Jiang Lan was going to solve it, but when it came to this topic, he said excitedly:

“I found it! That existence is in Guixu.”

“Guixu?”

Jiang Lan thought for a while.

“I have heard Aunt Xihe say there, it is difficult to reach by ordinary means, and the internal dangers are high, I will not stop you if you want to go, but you should be more careful.”

“I know.”

Bai Qiuran nodded and said:

“During the time I left, I want to ask you to take care of Li. That kid will breakthrough after a while. I will leave the breakthrough method to you before leaving. Then you can help me enlighten him.”

“Leave it to me.”

Jiang Lan paused, then asked:

“By the way, I have heard you complain, saying that you don’t have a handy sword, right?”

“Yup.”

Bai Qiuran sighed:

“It is also difficult to find a sword that can withstand my strength, even in the Heavenly Palace. It is a pity. If there is such a sword, I can fly to Guixu by myself.”

“I understand.”

Jiang Lan nodded and said:

“I don’t know how long it will take to return from Guixu to here. You can stay at home for a while, and then leave after everything is arranged.”

“I know.”

Bai Qiuran shook his head and looked at Jiang Lan who was getting up to go out. He asked:

“Where are you going?”

“Go see Aunt Xihe.”

Jiang Lan replied without looking back:

“Before I come back, don’t just leave by yourself. I won’t be going on this trip for long.”

——————

After leaving the temple, Jiang Lan walked all the way to the top of the Fusang sacred tree, looking for Xihe.

At this time, the sky turned black, and the three-legged crow also returned to the sacred tree. After approaching the Fusang tree, the only golden sun in the sky turned into a beautiful, elegant girl in a golden dress. Seeing Jiang Lan, she greeted enthusiastically:

“Huh? Little Lan, did you come to play with your sister?”

“Sister Jinwu, it just so happens that I have something to discuss with you and Auntie.”

Jiang Lan said.

“What’s the matter?”

At exactly this moment, Xihe also walked out of the wooden house and greeted Jiang Lan.

“I want to refine my authority of the sea into a magic weapon.”

Jiang Lan hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

“what?!”

Xihe and Jinwu both exclaimed at the same time.

“Little Lan, are you serious?”

Xihe grabbed Jiang Lan’s shoulders and asked:

“Do you know what this means to you?”

“I’ll lose that godhood. It’s not a problem, I have more than one.”

Jiang Lan’s tone was calm and nonchalant.

“Let alone that, the more important thing is the suffering of the soul!”

Jinwu said loudly from the side:

“Just for him, is it worth it?”

“It’s not just for him.”

Jiang Lan answered seriously:

“The Eastern Emperor Taiyi has already focused on us. If we don’t do this, we will all be in danger, and the human race will usher in another catastrophe.”

Xihe and Jinwu remained silent.

“Aunt Xihe, sister Jinwu, I know you can help me.”

Jiang Lan bowed his head to the two of them and said:

“Please, help me this time.”

The reason why Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not “burn the grass till the root”, in addition to the need for the Golden Crow to keep the sun running, was that the sun fire controlled by the Golden Crow and Xihe together could smelt the godhood into a divine weapon.

Rumors said that his Eastern Emperor Bell was also made by Xihe and Jinwu.

After a long time, Xihe sighed:

“Forget it, I had expected that you would go this way.”

“mother……”

Jin Wu wanted to persuade, but Xihe raised his hand to stop him.

“It’s useless, daughter.”

Xihe looked at Jiang Lan with pity and said:

“Since you are determined, come with me, Little Lan.”

——————–

After Jiang Lan left the temple and went to Fusang, Bai Qiuran stayed alone in the temple.

When she went to sun mother Xihe by herself, Bai Qiuran was relieved that at least the goddess would not harm her, and there should be no danger.

Besides, the two were originally a married couple in name only. He couldn’t control where Jiang Lan wanted to go.

Jiang Lan was absent for more than two months, and he didn’t know what she has done. During this period of time, Bai Qiuran has been analyzing the structure of the divine text, which was quite rewarding. But the text on the Eastern Emperor Bell that sent himself and Wise Immortal to this era was still unclear after all.

Between the analyzing time, he would also go to the human settlements, checking the progress of Li’s cultivation, and then indirectly taught him some new things.

This kid has recently gotten involved with the daughter of the leader of the settlement, and he should be about to get married.

After more than two months, Jiang Lan came back. Bai Qiuran saw her face pale and a little languid, and immediately asked with concern:

“What happened to you?”

After a pause, he added another sentence.

“You should take more of yourself…”

“I’m fine.”

Jiang Lan sighed helplessly, and then passed the long cloth bag she was holding in her hand.

“Let’s take a look, is it handy enough for you?”

Bai Qiuran took the cloth bag curiously, opened it and took a look, then held his breath.

Inside the cloth bag was a gorgeous long sword inserted in the scabbard. The scabbard was dotted with gold and silver emeralds, and there were silver chains hanging down on both sides. Bai Qiuran drew the long sword, looking at its blue blade. The rippling light, like the deepest sea, was both fascinating and frightening.

“it’s beautiful.”

Bai Qiuran exclaimed.

“Of course……”

Before Jiang Lan finished speaking, Bai Qiuran suddenly reached out and grabbed her palm.

“What do you want to do?”

Jiang Lan’s face flushed slightly, but Bai Qiuran looked at her seriously.

“Don’t move, let me see.”

His Soul Awareness penetrated Jiang Lan’s body and inspected it for a while. After exiting, Bai Qiu then took a step back and asked sternly:

“Why do you do this?”

Jiang Lan didn’t go too far, she felt a little guilty at this moment.

“In order to avoid Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s suspicion…”

Bai Qiuran looked at her for a long time and finally sighed.

“I really don’t deserve it.”

“Only I can tell whether it’s worth it or not. Your word doesn’t count…”

Jiang Lan whispered, then said:

“Anyway, the authority of Cang Sea has become this magic weapon, and I can’t take it back again. Hold it.”

Bai Qiuran held the hilt of the sword and tried to inject the True Qi into it. After receiving his True Qi, the body of the sword buzzed and trembled, but in the end, it was still inclusive and successfully withstood his energy.

Holding the sword, he couldn’t put it down and asked:

“Does it have a name?”

“It does.”

Jiang Lan blinked.

“It’s called Tranquil Autumn Water.”
