First Immortal of the Sword-Chapter 1918 - The Seven Undying Divine Rarities

Su Yi picked the damaged ring off the ground. It was cold against his skin.

Unlike the other treasures he’d found that contained Undying Demon Gold, the ring’s interior flashed with hints of purple light. Su Yi could tell at a glance that the ring contained an undying material, but its quality was far beyond what he'd found earlier.

Is this Undying Demon Gold too? If not, I wonder what kind of divine material was used to forge this ring. Su Yi fiddled with it for a bit before putting it away.

Then, he sat cross-legged and meditated to stabilize his cultivation base and condense Great Unity Stage Laws.

......

Seven days passed in a flash.

Su Yi had completely stabilized his foundations in the Great Unity Stage. He’d also achieved a measure of success in condensing Great Unity Stage Laws. Now it was just a matter of time and accumulated effort to slowly raise their quality.

He’d already refined his Great Unity Stage Grand Dao Hidden Realm to the point that he could control its size at will. He could manifest an entire world, or transform it into an imprint and fuse it into his attacks.

Su Yi rose and continued further into the Cave of Divine Tears. He planned to hunt and kill more divine wraiths and gather more Undying Demon Gold.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t realize this goal. Even after searching all day, he found no more divine wraiths. Even the lingering aura of the Epoch Tribulation had completely disappeared.

Thus, without any further delays, Su Yi decided to leave.

......

“Two months have passed already. Why hasn’t that guy come back yet? Don’t tell me a divine wraith killed him?”

Feng Wuji’s brow furrowed. He’d been waiting here this entire time.

At first, he was eager for Su Yi to return with Undying Demon Gold, but as time passed, he started to suspect that Su Yi had met with disaster. Over the past few days, that feeling had intensified.

No, that can’t be right. According to my ancestor’s secret intelligence, the power of reincarnation can counter the divine wraith’s aura of the Epoch Tribulation. Moreover, that guy has heaven-defying combat strength. Even if he can’t beat the divine wraiths, he ought to at least be able to flee...

Could something unexpected have happened inside?

Feng Wuji rubbed his jaw, uncertain.

Divine wraiths were an extraordinarily terrifying variety of lingering spirit only produced when gods died beneath an Epoch Tribulation.

And the power of reincarnation could counter Epoch Tribulations!

This was top secret. Even in the God Domain, few gods knew of this.

It was for this reason that Feng Wuji had sought Su Yi out and used Li Fuyou’s second disciple, Ning Xiu, as leverage. He wanted Su Yi to kill divine wraiths and acquire Undying Demon Gold on his behalf!

Feng Wuji sighed to himself. I suppose if he really died in there, I’ll have rid the gods of a latent threat. It’s just a pity that I couldn’t acquire the Undying Demon Gold I need in the process.

It was just as he’d said to Su Yi during their conversation. He wasn’t particularly interested in killing Su Yi. He was much more interested in Undying Demon Gold!

Even gods saw it as an unparalleled, precious material, the type that could only be happened upon under highly specific circumstances. Undying Demon Gold could only be found in ruins left behind after an Epoch Tribulation!

“It’s a pity. It’s truly a pity.” Feng Wuji let out a deep sigh, then decided to wait just three days longer. If Su Yi still didn’t show up, he’d give up on this operation and leave.

But then, a calm voice rang out, “Why sigh like that? Don’t tell me you think I’m dead?”

Feng Wuji whipped around. He wasn’t sure when, but Su Yi was standing in the entrance to the Cave of Divine Tears.

He was briefly stunned, but then, his spirits soared, and he said with delight, “Fellow Daoist Su, to me, your safe return is far preferable to your death!”

Su Yi’s eyebrows rose. Something about Feng Wuji’s phrasing just didn’t feel right.

But before he could say anything, Feng Wuji said impatiently, “Did you acquire Undying Demon Gold?”

Su Yi nodded. He flipped his palm, and a treasure fragment floated into the air, flashing with hints of golden light.

Feng Wuji’s eyes lit up. “It really is Undying Demon Gold! Well done, Fellow Daoist! I just knew that divine wraiths wouldn’t be enough to do you in!”

Su Yi tossed it to Feng Wuji. “Take it.”

Feng Wuji was stunned; he hadn’t expected Su Yi to hand such a treasure over so straightforwardly.

A moment later, he said with self-deprecation, “And here I thought you’d use this treasure as leverage. Looking back on it now, my assumption just makes me seem small-minded and petty.”

He could now sense the weight of Su Yi’s words on a visceral level.

Feng Wuji pondered briefly, then said, “Fellow Daoist, do you know what Undying Demon Gold is worth?”

Su Yi shook his head.

Feng Wuji gazed intently at him. “It’s precious enough to make even gods drool. The lofty, powerful gods dread nothing more than Divine Tribulations! If they refine Undying Demon Gold into their treasures, it will play a crucial role in staving off Divine Tribulations. It’s just a pity that it’s far too rare. Even in the boundless God Domain, it's seldom seen. As you know, the rarer something is, the more valuable it is, especially a treasure so useful to the gods. It’s simply priceless!”

As he spoke, he evaluated Su Yi’s expression. He’d thought Su Yi would look pained or reluctant after learning how precious Undying Demon Gold was, but much to his disappointment, Su Yi’s expression didn’t shift in the slightest.

Something occurred to him. Wait. I bet Su Yi acquired more than one piece of Undying Demon Gold!

Indeed, Su Yi then proceeded to ask with great interest, “Does Undying Demon Gold come in varying degrees of quality?”

“It does!” Feng Wuji said, “The gods see Undying Demon Gold as one of the Seven Undying Divine Rarities. These divine items are divided into three ranks based on quality.

“Gold is the most common. Red Undying Demon Gold is extremely rare, and it's far more precious than golden Undying Demon Gold.

“Pure Undying Demon Gold is the rarest of all. In the God Domain, only the greatest divine clans and factions have access to it.”

The words flowed out of him, and he held nothing back.

Su Yi finally understood the value and function of Undying Demon Gold! It was just as he’d thought. This was a divine object that survived an Epoch Tribulation. It really was an unparalleled treasure!

Feng Wuji suddenly probed, “Fellow Daoist, you acquired more than one piece of Undying Demon Gold, didn’t you?”

“Yup.” Su Yi didn’t deny it.

He’d had two major harvests on this expedition.

First, he overcame an unprecedented, taboo, grand tribulation and entered the Great Unity Stage.

Second, he’d acquired a grand total of nine treasure fragments containing Undying Demon Gold. Seven were gold, one was red, and one was purple.

He’d given a piece to Feng Wuji, but he still had eight pieces left. Moreover, based on what Feng Wuji had told him, their combined value was enough to drive even gods to madness!

Feng Wuji’s gaze instantly heated up. “Fellow Daoist Su, are you willing to trade with me? So long as it’s within my power to grant, I’ll agree to any request. I absolutely won’t even blink.”

“And what if I wanted your life?” said Su Yi.

Feng Wuji froze. “Fellow Daoist Su, that joke isn’t funny at all.”

“You captured Ning Xiu and destroyed her physical body,” said Su Yi, suddenly approaching Feng Wuji. “You even sealed away her soul. Did you really think I’d just let that go?”

The atmosphere was suddenly oppressive.

“This is a misunderstanding!” Feng Wuji was instantly solemn; he could sense Su Yi’s blatant murderous intent. “It was someone else who destroyed her physical body. If you don’t believe me, wake her up and ask her. Then you’ll know the truth!”

“Truly?” said Su Yi, but he didn’t halt his advance.

Feng Wuji frowned. “Why would someone of my distinguished status lie about something so trivial? Strictly speaking, if not for one of my clan’s higher-ups intervening, even Ning Xiu’s soul would have been destroyed!”

Su Yi couldn’t help but laugh. “So you’re saying that you’re Ning Xiu’s benefactors?”

“Of course!” said Feng Wuji. But before he could continue, his expression shifted dramatically.

Su Yi was leaping toward him.

Boom!

He struck as quickly as if he’d teleported, and his fist descended with explosive force. It was a simple, direct punch, yet utterly tyrannical. Its sheer force collapsed the sky.

Feng Wuji’s pupils constricted. He in no way dared to be negligent. He raised both hands and fought back with all his might.

Bang!!

A moment later, he was sent flying like an arrow loosed from a bow. He flew several thousand feet before managing to stabilize himself. Both of his sleeves were in tatters, the skin of his arms was torn and bleeding, and the bones almost snapped. His hands trembled.

Just one punch had been enough to send him flying, badly injured!

“You... how did you get so terrifyingly strong?”

He’d clashed with Su Yi, albeit briefly, before Su Yi ventured into the Cave of Divine Tears. He had a basic understanding of Su Yi’s heaven-defying strength.

But now, Feng Wuji sensed that after just two short months, Su Yi’s strength had soared. He was completely different from before.

Su Yi didn’t answer. He just said, “Consider that punch your punishment. Threaten me with hostages again, and don’t blame me for killing you.”

Feng Wuji’s expression shifted. He was the descendant of the Rahu Yao God, and deep within his bones, he was a madman who loved to fight. He’d caused countless disasters in the God Domain, and many of its Great Realm experts knew him as the Fiendish Yao Sovereign.

Su Yi’s punch and blatant threats filled his heart with an indescribable sense of humiliation and fury.

Suddenly, he broke into a grin. “I admit that when I proposed this exchange, my methods were a bit unseemly. I’ll accept that punch as punishment. But... surely you don’t really think I’m afraid of you?”

Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he erupted with unearthly, blood-red light and charged explosively at Su Yi.

The Yin-Yang Diagram hovered over his head. Churning chaos energy poured down, and his hands formed seals as he swung at Su Yi.

This was the full power of a peak, unparalleled Great Profound Stage expert. The surrounding landscape shook violently.

“Oh yeah. You still have the Yin-Yang Diagram. I almost forgot,” whispered Su Yi.

He stood there, unmoving, until Feng Wuji drew near. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and pressed down.

Boom!

Both Feng Wuji and the Yin-Yang Diagram were instantly under terrifying suppression. Both of them fell from the sky and slammed to the ground, creating a massive crater.

A cloud of dust rose into the air.
