“The Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique, he he, as expected of the godlike youngd!”
Sima Xiao’s soft maroon hair blew gently with the wind, the wind above the carriage roof was very big, yet he waspletely oblivious of it. By his side, Qiu Zhi Jun sat cross legged, his shoulder length hair being blown by the wind, his pale white face made him look extremely sick.
Qiu Zhi Jun had a sense of self ridicule: “Swordsmen do not even dare to use that tempering spirit method, but it was actually used by a close quartersbat expert.”
“Hey, senior brother, don’t feel so inferior, not everyone is crazy.” Sima Xiao consoled.
Qiu Zhi Jun smiled, then closed his eyes. Suddenly, a few ck dots appeared in the distant sky.
His eyes opened, gaze as sharp as a sword. With one look, he could tell that they were his scouts.
His heart jumped, Rong De’s actions was the crucial part of the n. He knew that his junior apprentice brother had nned for a long time for it. He had already begun a mental sketch of the n, long before he was sent to the remote constetions.
His gazended on his junior apprentice brother’s face.
Sima Xiao had also noticed the quickly approaching scouts, his rather immature face actually showed a still silence, like a clear and deep pond, serene and without any ripples.
The scouts nimblynded on the carriage, their expressions enthusiastic: “Master, everything is in order.”
The strong happy feeling surged in his mind, causing Qiu Zhi Jun to expose a smile that was extremely difficult toe by. Once the next step waspleted, the n would be more than 50%pleted.
Sima Xiao revealed a joyous face: “You guys have worked hard, victory is right in front of us, we absolutely cannot rx, get everyone to focus, after we win,we will celebrate!”
“Yes!” The scout replied enthusiastically, his morale was soaring high. He turned, and like a big bird, he soared far away.
“Like that, you can rest easy.” Qiu Zhi Junughed, he was feeling very happy. If they win the next battle, junior apprentice brother’s position will soar, and no one will be able to stop him. He had spent countless effort on the n, and earning the victory would be his greatest reward.
Sima Xiao’s gazended far out, the fervent look in his eyes slowly getting stronger, under the soft and messy maroon hair that looked like a bird’s nest, the childish face had a faint sense of a tyrannical aura.
The carriage’s speed was extremely fast, after three days, theynded deep inside the mountains.
Rong De came up.
“How is it?” Sima Xiao asked.
“The 13 camps have already been eliminated, no survivors, and we did not rm anyone.” Rong De said straightforwardly.
Sims Xiao then asked: “what about casualties?”
Rong De said solemnly: “we have 22 dead.”
Sima Xiao patted Rong De’s broad shoulder: “did you find the ce?”
“Yes we found it.” Rong de walked to the front to act as point.
After a while, the few of them reached an extremely deep cave, with a dense mist lingering around the entrance.
“Such a strong death aura.” Qiu Zhi Jun subconsciously held onto his sword hilt, the dense death aura that was emitting from the inside made him feel extremely ufortable.
“Angered soul spirit seal, no wonder noone could not find it.” Sima Xiao muttered.
Rong De spoke up: “what’s inside?”
When the words came out, he immediately regretted. The mission was already extremely secretive, he was very clear on how his master saw the big picture, if the outside world knew about his ns, there would be a huge uproar. For the sake of not having the n leak out, he had killed every single person in the 13 camps.
Inside the cave was Scorpio Constetion’s area!
Sima Xiao chuckled, and said: “Scorpio Magatama.”
(DeAndreR: a Magatama is a curved,ma-shaped bead)
“Scorpio Magatama.....” Rong De was stunned, his face slowly changed, his voice trembling, the impact of the two words on him were too huge, causing him to be nk.
Only after a long while he regained his senses.
Scorpio Magatama.... that was Scorpio Constetion’s saint treasure!
Scorpio Masters copse, was due to the saint treasure Scorpio Magatama disappearing from the constetion, leading Scorpio Constetion to walk the road of decline. But, no matter how Scorpio Constetion declined, it was still an Ecliptic Pce Constetion. Many people thought that Scorpio Constetion would be like the Ophiuchus Constetion, falling from the Ecliptic Pces to the Equatorial Halls. Instead, Scorpio Constetion persevered on and protected its position as a Ecliptic Pce Constetion.
When Rong De received his mission, he was already heavily suspicious, that it actually had something to do with Scorpio Constetion. If their movements were exposed, it would immediately lead to an intense retaliation by Scorpio Constetion, a dying camel will still be bigger than a horse, the n Union’s current strength could not bepared to Scorpio Constetion, and his master would immediately be caught up in a dangerous situation.
But Rong De knew that Sima Xiao was usually far sighted, and to give such orders, he most likely had prepared earlier. And with such a resolute personality, upon giving such orders, he would never waver.
Ring De did not utter a word, and brought his army quietly into Scorpio Constetion. He quickly realized that his master have had ample preparations, the troops garrisoned at the starry door were already bribed, and their route of march was already meticulously nned out. They travelled on off tracks that people rarely took, deep into the mountains and forests, which had no signs of human habitations, avoiding specific areas with powerful star beasts’ territories, the entire army got to their destination more scared than injured.
The battles afterwards were not surprising. To the army, all the bases were basically defenseless, other than them not expecting the base citizens to retaliate so fiercely, leading to them suffering some deaths and injuries, the entire process of wiping them out went smoothly.
He quickly found the key goal of the mission, and at that point in time, he was sure that there was something incredible inside to make Master be so willing to brave through so much just to get to it.
But, he had never thought that it would actually be Scorpio Magatama.
Master’s goal was actually.... actually Scorpio Constetion!
Rong De’s old and experienced face finally revealed changes, looking at Sima Xiao with shock. He was always somewhat respectful of Sima Xiao, he had great foresight, his methods were efficient and ruthless, was frank when dealing with people, and was a worthy person to be loyal to. Sima Xiao had quietly gained control of the Sima Family, and quietly gained the support of many elders in the n elders meeting, secretly controlling the n Union.
And he could stand his ground against the opinions of others, pushing for the n Union’s spirit generals to merge with martial techniques, devising a string of methods to develop the army, he was clearly Master material.
But the n Union’sposition wasplicated, the organisation wasx, many factions and families existed, thus a natural weakness. Rong De’s judgement on Sima Xiao, was that he was a pure tyrant.
He had finally understood, Sima Xiao’s ambitions were much bigger than he thought.
“Master Kui, take a look at this.”
Sima Xiao looked at the extremely ordinary old man beside him and said.
Rong De’s pupils constricted, the old man was a stranger whom he had never seen before, but the name “Master Kui” was something he had heard before. Master Kui, n Union’s most powerful spirit tempering specialist!
The merging and devouring of spirit generals, required many techniques and knowledge, just like a blood meridians specialist, just that a spirit tempering specialist was a unique profession solely belonging to the n union. n Union’s strongest union generals, were all made by Master Kui.
“This is a good ce!” Master Kui stood by the cave entrance and observed, somewhat excitedly: “Such a heavy angry and deathly aura, there are definitely powerful spirit generals inside!”
Sima Xiao said solemnly: “Scorpio Master’s copse was due to internal strife, he died in his pce, with his loyal guards protection, his wife took the Magatama and escaped out of the pce during the night, fleeing for over thousands of li, before the Magatama disappeared. Seeing this cave today, I finally understood, that all the guards had died and became spirits, while the Magatama was sealed. To seal a saint treasure, inside here, there is definitely a saint level spirit general! And to not have disappeared even after tens of thousands of years, and for the deadly qi to remain so heavy, this cave is far from normal. In the three big armies generation, This was an important passageway for Scorpio Constetion, after experiencing the intense and tragic war, it was said that this cave was actually filled to the brim with blood. The death qi in here was too heavy, and thus sealed and given up.”
Master Kui became even more excited, his face flushed red: “Good ce! Good ce! A ce filled with blood from war, saint level spirit general, there isn’t a better ce than this!”
“I have to trouble Master Kui.” Sima Xiao bowed and said.
“Kui will do his best!” Master Kui’s expression turned solemn, he carefully retrieved out a test tube, inside it was some weird mist: “Master, please drop a bit of blood.”
Hearing that, Sima Xiao cut his finger, and dripped a bit of blood into the test tube.
Upon interacting with the mist, it produced an intense reaction, as countless blood traces splurged out, after a while, the blood traces converged to form a thumb sized figure.
The blood wound to be a body, vaguely resembling a human shape.
“This drop of spirit devouring embryo is ourtest invention, obtained from the merging of the fiercest spirits of spirit cards, its devouring spirit capability is thousand times stronger than any union generals. Do not look down on this drop of spirit devouring embryo, we have spent three unique cards, 10 Purple gold cards, and countless other gold cards on it.”
Upon talking about subjects rted to his profession, Master Kui’s expression became stern and confident.
He turned the test tube over, the blood coagted a mini person, like a water drop, dropped into the cave filled with mist.

Ye Zhao Ge gradually opened his eyes, which were tranquil and deep, without any sense of evil tendencies. His face had a beard that was thick like steel wires, his hair was in a mess, scars and bruises covering his entire body, dressed in shabby clothes, yet his body was leaking with a sense of tranquility.
He bowed respectfully to the wooden hut: “I’m going.”
Taking the sword by his side, he stood up, and without hesitation, he left.
Just as he was pushing the courtyard door, the martial artist who was respectfully guarding the ce saw Ye Zhao Ge, and was stunned for a few seconds. This....was that the God killer Ye Zhao Ge? He was so serene, as though he had changed into a different person.
After a while, he awoke from his daze, and immediately weed: “Master Ye!”
Ye Zhao Ge looked over, causing the martial artist to feel his entire body tensing up, his heart unable to resist, overwhelmed with shock. He recognized power, and suddenly bit his tongue, the pain causing him to be more focused, ignoring the blood stained mouth, he lowered his head and said respectfully: “It is an emergency crisis! The n elders have hoped that after Master’s closed door cultivation, you will immediately join in the meeting.”
Ye Zhao Ge ‘oh’ed, and said: “Lead the way.”
The martial artist felt the pressure in the area disappearing, and could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Just as everyone was still discussing Ursa Major Constetion, explosive news swept across various Constetions.
Scorpio Constetion’s star power concentration was suddenly rising substantially!
Everyone understood what that meant, there was only one possibility, a saint treasure was born!
Scorpio Constetion saint treasure, after so many years, had finally reconnected with Scorpio Constetion.
When the news spread, it caused an uproar, all the current news suddenly paled inparison, as everyone’s focus was on Scorpio Constetion.
Scorpio Constetion, was an established dynasty constetion, thest winner of the Three Big Armies Generation. Although it had declined for a long time, it was not like Ophiuchus Constetion, Scorpio Constetion had never dropped from the Ecliptic Pces.
A dying camel would always be bigger than a horse, after umting for so long, it was not the same.
Scorpio Constetions reason for decline was because of the disappearance of its saint treasure. Scorpio Constetion martial techniques,pared to the other constetions, were maintained rather perfectly. As soon as Scorpio Constetion could find its saint treasure, it would immediately be revived.
The past generations of Scorpio martial artists had spent countless amounts of effort to search everywhere, high and low, but it was all in vain. They did not care who became their Master, as they were more affected that they did not even have a Master.
Scorpio Constetions silence, continued for so long....
Until today, Scorpio Constetions star power concentration suddenly soared by 7%.....
Scorpio Constetion experienced a momentary shock, then immediately got caught up in an unprecedented party.
While Heaven’s Road fell into an unprecedented silence. Everyone had forgotten them for too long, but, no one forgot, they used to be a dynasty constetion, an ecliptic pce constetion that declined due to losing its saint treasure, it was an extremely dangerous and terrifying constetion.
And today, it had awakened.
The situation immediately becameplicated, the elements were already so unstable, and the future had be even more a blur.
The influence of the matter was too huge, even Honorable Martial Group and Leo Constetion who were intoxicated in battle had chosen to call for a halt.
The entire Heaven’s Road had stopped breathing, waiting for the Scorpio Master to reveal himself.
*******************
Three Spirits City.
Bing looked at the video in front of him, satisfyingly puffing out a smoke ring, and then mumbling to himself: “Scorpio, hehe, my old enemy, this has be even more interesting.”
He was feeling bored recently.
The student army had already scattered, the students had once again returned back to
Sky Martial Wolf Academy. He had ced high hopes on the students. The battle was just to let them experience warfare. Although they had disyed great improvements, to Bing they still needed to practice. But the students did not go back to Lupus Constetion, because the current Sky Martial Wolf Academy was moved to Bear Egg.
The Bear Egg was currently overpopted.
Even Tang Yi’s Lupus Army was currently gathered inside Bear Egg for “Special Training”.
Ta Dun’s Andromeda Army had also quietly entered Bear Egg for “Special Training”.
There was only one subject for Bear Egg – Special Training!
Tang Tian’s Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique had caused the star power concentration in Bear Egg to instantly break through to 40%. No one would miss this chance. Bing carefully analyzed the situation, brazenly brought the whole army, to move to the Bear Egg for special training.
All these armies werecking in the True Power aspect. Of course, to Bing, the armies were all cannon fodder, but to be able to bring up their true power by two levels, that would promote them to elite cannon fodder.
If ced in Lupus Constetion with a pathetic 1% Star power concentration, to upgrade their true power levels by two, the cost of it would undoubtedly be astonishing.
But Bear Egg with over 40% star power concentration, as long as they were not skiving, it would not be a problem. That was why, the 12 Ecliptic Pces far surpassed the other constetions, they held denser star power concentration, and could therefore attract even more talented martial artists.
The poption of the 12 Ecliptic Pces was not much, and the expensive fee of using the star power was something no ordinary person could do.
They were the peak of a pyramid, and all the lower tier constetion levels would always lose by giving talents away. The most outstanding martial artists, the best training environments. How could the 12 ecliptic pces not be strong?
But Bing did not have a trace of fear against the 12 Ecliptic pces.
The current generation of people did not have any idea of the chaotic world and the true Heaven’s Road Great War. But Bing who had survived through the most intense of times, was very clear of what was most important.
The poption!
Of all the constetions under Tang Tian, Bing viewed most heavily upon the most barren Lupus Constetion, because Lupus Constetion held thergest poption.
In case a long and drawn out war was projected, everyone would be fighting with the capability of producing blood and men.
The 12 Ecliptic Pces Constetions walked the path of elite troops, but once they were exhausted, replenishing them would be difficult. In peaceful times, they could still rely on their superiority to attract talents and geniuses from other constetions. But in wartime, the poption movement of every constetion would be strictly regted, and at that time, the 12 Ecliptic Pces would face the predicament of insufficient manpower.
Any military general with some standard would be able to see that, but no one cared, because no one believed that a war wouldst for so long.
How many years could they fight?
Only Bing who had personally experienced it had secretly made preparations, history would always repeat itself.
In this period of time, the other constetions could not grasp the real situation in Ursa Major Constetion, adding along Tang Tian’s Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique which induced even more fear, instead earned them a well deserved peace. If they did not grasp the crucial time to raise their strength, they would not live so easily in the days toe.
Tang Tian’s Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique caused Bing to be shocked.
Bing had always been supportive of Tang Tian’s self-oppressive attitude. To encourage morale, all of the martial artists who hade to the Bear Egg to train, would be brought to Tang Tian, in the name of “Finding Happiness”, oh, no, in the name of “Finding the push”.
Bing was like a patient hunter, calmly and patiently waiting for their strength to increase.
But, the armies were not the only ones giving their all.
In the mechanical weaponsboratory, the lights werepletely lit, everyone was dirty from head to toe, eyes filled with blood red veins, piles and piles of discardedponents were everywhere, metal fragments all over, to the point that there was practically no ce to stand. Countless mechanical engineers were in corners, having found ces to sleep, falling in deep andfortable sleep.
Suddenly, a person in the corner screamed: “Sess! I Seeded!”
Bang, the entire mechanical weaponsboratory burst into an uproar, all the mechanical engineers flooded in from every corner.
A pure and sparkling crystal had a finger sized spirit general floating on it.
Sai Lei’s face was joyous, she had asked for the Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ores. It was an extremely rare metal, a special product of Draco Constetion. When Sai Lei was researching materials, she had discovered an astonishing feature of the Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ore – the Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ore could seal spirit generals.
When 400 Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ores were sent to the mechanical weaponsboratory, the entire mechanical weaponsboratory became like a spring, researching regardless of day or night.
Very quickly, many new discoveries were made, other than sealing spirit generals, after refining the Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ores, it could still nourish the spirit general, allowing the spirit generals to be even more pure and stronger.
This discovery caused all the mechanical engineers inside the entire workshop to go crazy.
This indicated that, upon sess, they could create mechanical spirit weapons with growth attributes!
Of course, when they were refining with the Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ores, they came across a problem. They were unable topletely refine out a perfect Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ore! The more refined the Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ore was, the stronger the spirit general they could seal.
And today, they have finallypletely refined out a Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ore!
A new generation of mechanical spirit weapons, was on the verge of being born!
