After wandering around the Treasure Hall for a while, although I saw some treasures that made my heart race, my merit points are really limited. Tangyu has already decided to exchange for the Nine Plate Axe, which will cost 350 merit points.
"Oh, the 'Charming Shadow Technique', a top-grade Spiritual Art, suitable for Yaomei's cultivation. A top-grade Spiritual Art, enough for her cultivation during the Golden Core Stage. Fortunately, it only costs 160 merit points, not too expensive. Haha, it seems like my luck isn't too bad. Exchanging for this 'Charming Shadow Technique' and the Nine Plate Axe just happens to be 510 merit points, almost spending all my merit points. But who cares, merit points can always be earned again in the future."
Tangyu's eyes suddenly brightened as he finally found a treasure that moved him. This cultivation technique is suitable for the Yao Race's cultivation.
Tangyu picked up this cultivation technique and then went straight to the Nine Plate Axe. As he approached, he felt the Pangu Axe in his Qiankun Bag stirring, almost excitedly so. This feeling was even stronger than last time. Tangyu knew that the Pangu Axe was eager to obtain this Nine Plate Axe, although he didn't know why, he believed the Pangu Axe must have its reasons.
"Pangu Axe, don't be anxious, the Nine Plate Axe will soon be ours, just wait a bit longer." Tangyu thought to himself, and strangely, as soon as he thought this, the Pangu Axe actually calmed down immediately. This made Tangyu pause slightly, could it be that the Pangu Axe could read his mind?
It was quite strange.
Tangyu shook his head, not thinking much of it, took the Nine Plate Axe, feeling the intense vibrations emanating from it and could sense the strength of this Nine Plate Axe. After all, it is a top-grade spiritual artifact, its power likely not inferior to the Yuguang Sword in Tangyu's hand. With the Nine Plate Axe in hand, using the Pangu Nine Axes technique would greatly enhance its power.
Having obtained two treasures, Tangyu also walked towards the Elder of the Treasure Hall, handed the two treasures to the Elder. After deducting Tangyu's merit points, the Elder of the Treasure Hall unsealed both treasures and indicated that Tangyu could take them away. From now on, they belonged to Tangyu. Taking the two treasures, Tangyu went straight back to his courtyard and directly entered his secret room.
Once inside the secret room, Tangyu moved his hands, holding the Pangu Axe in one hand and the Nine Plate Axe in the other. The design of these two axes is completely identical. However, it was said that the Pangu Axe looked as majestic as the Nine Plate Axe. With the Nine Plate Axe out, it was clear it was no ordinary treasure, whereas the Pangu Axe appeared rather ordinary, with no aura or momentum.
At this time, the Pangu Axe emitted a buzzing sound as if trying to break free from Tangyu's hand and directly leap towards the Nine Plate Axe, with its power growing stronger, like a wild horse, making it hard for Tangyu to hold on.
"What exactly does the Pangu Axe want to do?" Tangyu raised an eyebrow, his heart full of curiosity.
Tangyu loosened his grip, and the Pangu Axe transformed into a stream of light, colliding directly with the Nine Plate Axe, then releasing a golden light that completely enveloped the Nine Plate Axe. The two axes entangled in the air, and soon, to Tangyu's amazement, the Pangu Axe was actually devouring the Nine Plate Axe.
"Devour? Automatically devour? What on earth is going on? How can the Pangu Axe devour the Nine Plate Axe?"
Tangyu's eyes widened, such a thing was indeed too unbelievable. However, Tangyu knew this must not be a bad thing; what secrets could be hidden within the Pangu Axe?
Tangyu had long discovered that the Pangu Axe was no simple item, but he didn't know what was so special about it, as he couldn't detect anything unusual about it.
At this moment, Tangyu could only wait, watching the Pangu Axe slowly devour the Nine Plate Axe. This process lasted for a whole hour before it ended. After it was over, Tangyu found that the Nine Plate Axe had been completely absorbed by the Pangu Axe. The Pangu Axe's appearance hadn't changed, but its aura was much stronger than before. It felt like a treasured sword that had been sharpened, and its edge could be felt.
Tangyu reached out and grabbed the Pangu Axe, and immediately, a powerful force surged out, and holding the Pangu Axe, Tangyu couldn't help but feel a surge of boldness and a sense of comfort and ease. This feeling was indeed wonderful.
"The Pangu Axe can actually completely devour the Nine Plate Axe to evolve itself. Does this mean the Pangu Axe can devour the other Nine Plate Axes too? There are a total of nine Nine Plate Axes, and now I only know the whereabouts of three. One has been devoured by the Pangu Axe, and the other six are missing. If I gather all nine Nine Plate Axes and merge them all, will that cause the Pangu Axe to truly evolve into an Immortal Artifact?" A bold idea arose in Tangyu's mind.
Moreover, Tangyu felt that this possibility was quite significant. The Nine Plate Axes are originally from the same root, a complete set, totaling nine axes. When combined, they form an equivalent to a top-grade Daoist Artifact. Each axe, when separated, is a top-grade Spiritual Artifact. If the Pangu Axe were to devour all the Nine Plate Axes, it could evolve into an Immortal Artifact, right? Pangu was an entity of Immortal Venerate status, and this Pangu Axe is a manifestation of Pangu. Even though Pangu during the Earth's era was not as powerful, since this Pangu Axe can devour the Nine Plate Axes, Tangyu felt that the Nine Plate Axes exist for the sake of the Pangu Axe.
This thought made Tangyu itch with eagerness, wishing to immediately seize the other two known Nine Plate Axes for experimentation. One of the Nine Plate Axes is in the hand of Pan Chenyu, and the other is said to be with the top disciple of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, Zhou Tianzi. It would not be an easy task to obtain the Nine Plate Axes from them. This issue indeed gave Tangyu a headache.
Although this situation is just Tangyu's speculation, he felt the possibility was very high. If he truly acquired an Immortal Artifact, it would be an enormous benefit. Of course, for the time being, Tangyu knew he didn't yet have the strength to possess an Immortal Artifact. So for now, he couldn't think too much about this matter. If there truly was an Immortal Artifact, it would only be a curse without enough strength. One cannot eat from a big bowl without adequate capability.
Feeling the Pangu Axe for a moment, Tangyu then put it away, calming his mind down.
Calming his emotions, Tangyu prepared to start cultivating. With the materials provided by the Ghost Yin, Tangyu was now ready to begin cultivating the Third Transformation of the Undying Nine Transformations.
In a month's time, Tangyu needed to enhance his strength as much as possible. This journey to Luoyu Immortal Palace was something Tangyu was taking very seriously, daring not to be careless in the slightest.
Cultivating the Third Transformation of the Undying Nine Transformations went relatively smoothly for Tangyu, as his Divine Demon Body Refining was already at the early stage of the Second Layer, making his body inherently strong, allowing for easy cultivation. The Third Transformation took only three to five days to complete. Tangyu didn't stop and continued cultivating the Fourth Transformation.
The Fourth Transformation was somewhat difficult and painful, yet no pain was beyond Tangyu's endurance. After over twenty days of hardship, Tangyu finally succeeded. The Fourth Transformation of the Undying Nine Transformations was also successfully cultivated.
"Phew—" After successfully cultivating the Fourth Transformation, Tangyu let out a long breath: "The cultivation of the Undying Nine Transformations is truly torturous, with the Fourth Transformation already pushing me to the limit. If I cultivate the Fifth Transformation, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it. The Fourth Transformation is sufficient for now. In any case, the Undying Nine Transformations are merely supplementary to me and not my main combat strength. The fact that it can enhance my power significantly is already great."
"A month has passed, it's time to get ready to set off. This action must proceed in secret."
After tidying up, Tangyu left the secluded chamber. As soon as he emerged, a figure flashed before him, and before she even arrived, Tangyu sensed an aura of enchantment. Yaomei appeared seductively in front of Tangyu, winking at him. This damn fairy would surely make you weak at the knees for a month if she were on Earth. Tangyu couldn't help but think fiercely in his mind.
Looking at Yaomei, Tangyu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, you've broken through to the Golden Core Realm. It appears that the Golden Core wasn't wasted on you. I didn't expect your Charming Beast clan to possess such capabilities."
With a proud expression, Yaomei said, "Of course, I'm not an ordinary Charming Beast; I'm the most, most, most special, most, most, most beautiful, and most, most, most charming Charming Beast. Therefore, I am naturally extraordinary. Breaking through to the Golden Core was too easy for me. Nowmaster, I can be your right-hand woman, can't I? Isn't it time for you to take me out and adventure?"
"Don't flatter yourself. I don't have time to take you out now. This time I'm going on a mission and can't bring you. You'd better stay here and cultivate obediently, and don't cause me any trouble," Tangyu said, and with that, he tossed the "Charming Shadow Technique" to Yaomei.
Hearing Tangyu's words, Yaomei looked disappointed, but seeing the "Charming Shadow Technique" he threw, her eyes lit up instantly: "A top-grade Spiritual Art, what a treasure, fantastic! This Spiritual Art is perfect for me, Yaomei, to cultivate. After cultivating it, my strength will surely increase greatly. Haha, Master, you're so good to me. This lifetime, I belong to you. Come on, Master, favor me, I can give everything to you. Come on, don't hesitate. Hey Master, I'm not finished talking yet, don't leave."
But before she finished speaking, Tangyu's figure was already walking away.
Seeing Tangyu disappear from view, Yaomei pouted, "Such an unromantic master, hmph, doesn't know how to cherish a beauty at all. I, Yaomei, am considered a top-notch beauty, yet Master isn't moved by me at all? It's unreasonable, isn't my charm insufficient? Hmph, he never takes me with him, such a bad master. Never mind, I'll continue to cultivate. When my strength is stronger, I'll go out on my own, regardless of the master."
With that, Yaomei turned back and continued to cultivate in the secluded chamber.
