GBP Chapter 725 Bronze Drum, Xiaoyao Fusion
Chapter 725 Bronze Drum, Xiaoyao Fusion
What appeared in front of Gu Xiu at this moment was a huge bronze city floating above the sea of clouds.
The entire bronze city was entwined with thousands of gilded chains. Runes carved into their surfaces emitted a faint blue glow, winding across the massive bronze walls like living creatures. Whenever a strong wind swept through, the chains hummed like a huge bell, rippling the clouds for a hundred miles.
Above the Bronze City, nine inverted furnaces are suspended.
Crimson magma dripped down the stalactite-like furnace, condensing into suspended beads of fire in mid-air. These beads gathered and dispersed into formations, sometimes transforming into a Vermillion Bird, wings spread, ready for flight, sometimes arranged into ancient refining diagrams, tinting the entire sky with a magnificent purple-gold hue. From the furnace's base, countless red-gold threads cascaded down, penetrating the city like the aerial roots of a giant tree, weaving the entire city into a sophisticated refining formation.
Standing in front of this huge bronze city, Gu Xiu could even feel waves of heat coming towards him.
Associated with it.
You can also hear the sound of huge hammers hammering, accompanied by the swaying of chains, and the continuous roar. If you close your eyes, you can only listen to the loud noises.
It makes people feel as if they are in an ancient battlefield with drums of war.
"This Liangu City is indeed worthy of being the site of immortals and gods. No matter how many times you see it, it will always shock you." Looking at this huge bronze city, Suixing couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Xiu also nodded. "It's rumored that this Lian Gu City was once a magical treasure left behind by immortals in this world. It contains infinite power of the Great Dao. Some even say that the art of refining, one of the six paths in this world, was first passed down from Lian Gu City. I don't know whether this rumor is true or not, but just by standing here, I can feel that any material here seems to be more active than in other places. It is worthy of the name of the Holy City of Refining."
"This is what makes Liangu City so special," said Broken Star.
"There is a great formation here that can make any forging material more active. The magic weapons forged here are often of better quality than those forged elsewhere."
"But the most special thing is the nine furnaces of heavenly fire above Liangu City."
"The heavenly fire flowing from the nine furnaces here is eternal and inextinguishable, and each heavenly fire is a divine fire. Even the fleshly body of a supreme being cannot withstand the burning of the heavenly fire here. By borrowing the nine kinds of divine fire here, whether it is refining weapons or refining pills, you can get twice the result with half the effort and improve the quality again."
"The only pity is that these divine fires are only found here, and ordinary means cannot take away even a little bit of them."
"Because this place is too overbearing, even the Supreme Being cannot live here for long."
After all, it is a professional forging platform specializing in refining equipment. Suixing knows everything related to refining equipment, and he has great respect for this huge bronze city in front of him.
but.
Compared to Shattered Star's admiration for this place, Gu Xiu has already turned his attention to the defense forces in this huge bronze city.
This Liangu City is indeed not suitable for long-term residence, but it does not mean that this place is an ownerless land. On the contrary, this place is the holy city of the Tiangong Holy Land. Although it is not the place where the Tiangong Holy Land was founded, in terms of status and importance, it has actually surpassed the main city of the Tiangong Holy Land.
This place is Gu Xiu’s destination this time.
It is also the key place for him to break the deadlock.
"Squeak!"
At this moment, the little black monkey that had been following him suddenly pointed somewhere and shouted. Gu Xiu and the monkey were already in tune with each other, so he immediately understood what the little black monkey meant and looked in the direction it pointed.
"Xiao Hei, are you saying, where is the puppet army of Lian Gu City?"
"Squeak!" The little black monkey nodded in affirmation.
Liangu City is originally an important place in the Tiangong Holy Land. Because the heavenly fire here is too overbearing, no cultivator can stay here for a long time. Therefore, in normal times, the guards of Liangu City mainly rely on the Tiangong Divine Puppet Guards of the Tiangong Holy Land.
This is an extremely sophisticated and powerful puppet.
Each of them possesses extremely strong combat power. After forming the Tiangong Divine Puppet Guard, they can even deploy military formations. When encountering an enemy, even a powerful cultivator would find it difficult to escape unscathed from the Divine Puppet Guard.
but……
Although this Tiangong Divine Puppet is powerful, it is obviously very different from the immortal puppets on the Three Immortal Islands.
At least for the little black monkey Haiqi who has the talent to control puppets, he cannot use his talent when facing the immortal puppets of the Three Immortals Island which are almost no different from normal cultivators. However, when facing the Tiangong Divine Puppet Guards of the Tiangong Holy Land, his talent is just within his ability.
"In that case..."
Gu Xiu smiled and turned to look at the Xiaoyao Pei floating beside him: "Xiao Xiaoyao, are you ready?"
"Master, master, I'm ready!" Xiaoyaopei answered quickly in a childish and somewhat stumbling voice, seeming very excited.
I have to be excited.
Because it knows that next, it is time for it to start reshaping the breakthrough.
Among the Four Saints of Zhengu, Xiaoyao Pei is the weakest. As a treasure inherited from the former leader of Qingxuan Sect, although it has spiritual power, its significance is greater than actual combat. It could help Gu Xiu withstand the attack of Yuanying cultivators in the past, but as Gu Xiu's cultivation level improved, the enemies he encountered became stronger and stronger.
Xiaoyao Pei seemed a little powerless.
As the third of the Four Saints of Ancient Times, it still hopes that it can help its master more.
And now.
The opportunity is here.
In fact, Gu Xiu had already had the idea of improving the Xiaoyao Pendant. The best way was to merge it with the Seven Star Pendant on his body that could see through all the formations. However, in order to merge it, he needed the assistance of the Qiyun Treasure.
So this matter can only be put on hold temporarily.
But this time, Gu Xiu was prepared.
He just flipped his wrist and a rattle appeared in his hand.
This rattle was Gu Xiu's childhood possession. For some reason, Guan Xuelan took it and regarded it as a treasure for rebuilding Qingxuan. In order to gain the trust of Lord Chiyun, Guan Xuelan gave it to Lord Chiyun, but in order to keep it in her hands, Guan Xuelan took off the two drumsticks of the rattle.
The two drumsticks were given to Qin Ziyi and Luo Fengmian, played by Jiang Xun respectively.
Qin Ziyi's drumstick had been in Gu Xiu's hands before, and when Gu Xiu got Jiang Xun's storage ring, he naturally got another drumstick from him. As for the last drum body, it was given to Gu Xiu by the Chiyun Divine Lord when the crisis of the Chiyun Divine Dynasty was resolved.
Now the complete rattle is enough to help the Xiaoyao Pendant and the Seven Star Pendant complete the fusion.
And if we can add the special ability of Liangu City...
The fusion of Xiaoyao Pei and Qixing Pei may even reach a higher level!
Seeing that the Xiaoyao Pendant was ready, Gu Xiu no longer hesitated. He threw the rattle in his hand and it immediately rose into the air. Then Gu Xiu flipped his palm again, and the Seven Star Pendant that he had been fishing with the green bamboo pole also quietly:
"Broken Star!"
"Here it comes!" Following Gu Xiu's loud shout, Broken Star immediately echoed back with a ray of light. The forging platform body it had specially transformed for itself returned to its original form and soared into the air, immediately catching the rattle and the Seven Star Pendant.
"Xiao Xiaoyao, come quickly!"
"It's your turn to take off!"
Xiaoyao Pei naturally did not waste any time. It immediately soared into the sky and landed steadily on the Broken Star Forging Platform. Then, it was carried by the Broken Star and rushed straight towards Liangu City.
"All necessary preparations have been made. There are only three steps left for us to take."
"One is broken."
"Smash Xiao Xiaoyao and this Seven Star Pendant into pieces. Without destruction, there is no construction. The more thorough the shattering, the better the fusion will be."
“The second is integration.”
"Use the power of this rattle to fuse the shattered Xiao Xiaoyao and the Seven Star Pendant into one."
“Once the fusion is complete, it’s the final step.”
"Summon the spirit!"
"Xiao Xiaoyao, Gu and I can help you with the first and second steps, but the third step is up to you."
Xiaoyao Pei had only one answer to Shattered Star's words:
"Go, go, go!"
Seeing this, Suixing nodded to Gu Xiu. Gu Xiu did not hesitate and immediately soared into the sky and came to Suixing's side. With a wave of his hand, a pile of talismans scattered on the spot. Ignoring these talismans, Gu Xiu first stretched out his right hand and grabbed upwards, and a dust light hammer immediately appeared.
After taking a look at the Xiaoyao Pei and seeing that it was indeed ready, Gu Xiu grasped the Dust Light Hammer and smashed it towards Shattered Star:
"Bang!"
A loud bang was heard instantly, followed by streaks of dust and light exploding from all around.
However, these dust lights did not dissipate. Instead, as Gu Xiu swung the hammer again, they were pulled by the force and continued to move on the Star-Breaking Forging Platform.
Next.
It was the second hammer, the third hammer, the fourth hammer...
As time went on, the dust light emerging from the Xiaoyao Pendant became less and less. A large amount of dust light had already left the body of the Xiaoyao Pendant and lingered above the forging platform, wandering aimlessly like the flow of stars.
at last.
When the tenth hammer fell, a crack finally appeared on the Xiaoyao Pendant, and then it turned into powder with a breeze.
"Shattered Star!" Gu Xiu shouted immediately.
"Don't worry, Xiao Xiaoyao will be fine with me here!"
Suixing answered, and then bursts of divine light suddenly burst out from the forging platform, condensing the Xiaoyao Pei powder that should have dissipated with the wind into a ball. Then, no one knew what Suixing did, but the nine furnaces hanging upside down in the sky dropped divine fire.
At this moment, it turned into silk threads and came towards the Star-Breaking Forging Platform, melting and burning the dust particles that the Xiaoyao Pendant had turned into.
Such a big commotion naturally attracted the monks from the Tiangong Holy Land in Liangu City:
"who?"
"Stop! You dare to come to my Tiangong Holy Land to steal the divine fire? You are seeking death!"
"You've come uninvited and are trying to steal the sacred fire from my Liangu City. How dare you? Stop it now!"
"..."
Although Liangu City is an ancient relic, it has long been taken into the possession of the Tiangong Holy Land. Although it would not refuse other weapon refiners from coming here to refine weapons in the past, it is impossible for them to come here to refine weapons without saying hello, not to mention that Gu Xiu's weapon refinement this time was quite a big deal, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among the disciples of the Tiangong Holy Land in the city.
Towards these people, Gu Xiu changed his usual elegant and easygoing demeanor. He glanced at the disciples coldly and then said loudly, "Gu, I'm here today to borrow your precious land and collect some interest."
"If anyone tries to stop me, I will kill them without mercy!"
Say it.
His hands continued to move, and he turned to strike the Seven Star Pendant next to him.
He deliberately changed into his true appearance.
in order.
But I'm not just here to borrow the divine fire to refine weapons...
