C44 Heavy treasure
"This …"
Xiao Zhi opened his eyes wide, the golden sword was just like an illusion, but Xiao Zhi could really feel the existence of something.
In other words, this was truly a dao tool with a great history.
"Could it be …"
Xiao Zhi looked at the design on the golden paper in his hand. The golden sword in his hand was extremely similar to the one in the man's hand.
If this really was the case, then it would be a huge matter. If word of this got out, then the entire Douluo Continent would be thrown into an uproar. The heroes would go crazy over this Dao Artifact, and at that time, even if the Dao Lord Tianyun comes out, they would not be able to protect the Xiao Zhi.
The Xiao Zhi quickly thought of the crux of the problem. At the entrance, the old man who guarded the Meridian still had his eyes closed, meditating without making the slightest movement. It was as if he didn't feel anything at all.
"To hide it, just like with my own three types of dao diagrams."
Xiao Zhi's gaze was firm as he understood what was the most important thing right now.
But it was strange, following the flash of Xiao Zhi's thought, the golden sword that appeared in his hand merged into the skin like water, and that golden paper also merged into it.
The Xiao Zhi was surprised, and continuously checked her body, but did not find anything strange. But as he imagined, the golden paper and the golden sword would appear in his hands at the same time, as if his body was just like the Tao Ring, able to contain both things.
As a result, Xiao Zhi found out more and more that the two items were not ordinary.
"Who was it that hid these things in the book?"
Xiao Zhi was suspicious, these two things were very precious, there was a high chance that they would drag out the biggest secret of the Conqueror. In fact, what the Xiao Zhi did not know was that if he did not have the three dao diagrams, even if he had flipped through the book, he would not have been able to find the hidden golden sword and paper.
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhi started to flip through the 'Legend of Conqueror' book again, but he couldn't find anything else. It was just a book to record his stories, even if the material was extraordinary, it wasn't anything special.
At this moment, Xiao Zhi thought about many things, and felt that there was someone doing it on purpose. However, why was it that no one in the Heaven Gate had discovered him, was a question that he could not understand. After all, if these things were truly left behind by that Conqueror, then these two items could be said to be priceless treasures.
"Who could it be?"
Xiao Zhi was perplexed, but it was clear that this person had a relationship with the Heaven Gate, and perhaps had nothing to do with it.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Zhi shook his head forcefully, clearing his mind of the messy thoughts. He took a deep breath and regained his composure. He pretended as if nothing had happened and put the book back into its original position.
At the same time, Xiao Zhi sneaked a glance at the old man standing at the door and saw that he had his eyes closed the entire time. Compared to the method of obtaining the three dao diagrams, what he wanted to know more was what exactly it was.
Xiao Zhi quickly left, and when he passed by the door, he quickly glanced at the old man.
When Xiao Zhi left the Meridian, the old man opened his eyes slightly and swept his eyes across the bookshelf where Xiao Zhi was standing. He slowly raised his right hand and the 'Legend of Conqueror' automatically spun in the air and landed in his hand.
"Only this one?"
The old man frowned, his tone filled with doubt, "This is at most a biography, even though the person who wrote it is extraordinary, why is his emotions so strong?"
The old man did not understand, and then he opened the golden paper. After a long time, he said in surprise, "I feel that something is missing here, but I can't tell you what it is. It's weird."
After a while, the old man thought for a while, but could not find an answer. He waved his hand and put the 'Legend of Conqueror' back, then once again entered a state of deep thought. As far as he was concerned, it was understandable for some disciples to read some unpopular books.
After exiting the Meridian, Xiao Zhi's face was immediately filled with excitement. After all, he was one of the legendary figures of the Douluo Continent. Thinking about the three types of dao diagrams, Phoenix, Qilin and Black Turtle, Xiao Zhi started to admire them. It was as if his own dao diagrams were not even worth mentioning when compared to them.
However, Xiao Zhi knew very well that Dao Diagrams at early stages could sometimes not decide everything. Many cultivators' dao diagrams would undergo a huge change after they gained complete control. This was a common knowledge among cultivators, but the chance was very low.
However, Xiao Zhi did not have any feelings of inferiority. Even if it were the most ordinary dao diagrams, if there were three, they would definitely be able to become revered in one place, and might even become famous on the road.
Xiao Zhi did not return, but chose to continue going to the dense forest at the back of the mountain. That place could be said to be his current secret stronghold. Fortunately, the rules of the Gate of Heaven were not strict, otherwise, Xiao Zhi's actions would have attracted the attention of many.
This time, Xiao Zhi learnt his lesson. After arriving at the back mountain, he sneaked into the nearby bushes, and when he was sure that there was no one around, he started to move forward. After arriving at the destination, he used the power of his dao diagram to make the thorns criss-cross, making it very difficult to travel.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Zhi took out his golden sword, releasing a faint golden light in the darkness, but the image that appeared was still an illusion, not a real body.
Puff.
Xiao Zhi casually waved his golden sword, directly chopping a three feet tall rock at his side into two. Its sharpness was clear to see.
"Good stuff."
Xiao Zhi was pleasantly surprised. When he brandished the sword, he did not use any of his Dao power. Although he did not possess a very deep understanding of Daos, he was absolutely certain that this golden sword was most definitely extraordinary.
Grade, was definitely not much stronger than the Grade 6 Dao Artifact that Yang Fei seduced him with.
The golden sword moved with ease. Moreover, it had no effect on him and would not automatically absorb the Dao energy in Xiao Zhi's body. It was truly mysterious, but at the same time, it also made him seem more mysterious and powerful.
Xiao Zhi played around for a while before taking out the golden paper. In the darkness, although the golden paper did not flicker with light, he could still clearly see every single line on it. In particular, the formation engraved on top of it was even more distinct, as if it was trying to stir up the Xiao Zhi's divine soul.
"How strange."
Xiao Zhi sat crossed legged on the ground, concentrating on studying the array diagram. Before this, because of that Uncle Long of unknown origins had used the 'Spirit Subduing Technique', his understanding of the formation diagram was extremely deep. It could even be said that his understanding of array diagrams was no different from that of Uncle Long.
But even at this level, the Xiao Zhi was still completely confused about the array diagrams on the golden paper. He felt that this situation was akin to an ordinary person standing in front of a vast ocean. The sea set off monstrous waves that covered the sky and covered the earth. It was extremely majestic and magnificent.
That kind of feeling was as if he was floating under the starry sky. He could only see a corner of the vast starry sky and it was difficult to see the full picture.
As time passed, the Xiao Zhi did not move an inch. Even when a bird landed on his shoulder, he did not notice it. He was fully immersed in it and would not be alarmed by what was happening in the outside world.
"The formation is formed in heaven and earth, attracting the stars in the sky. All living things are moved. One becomes strong because of one's strength, and one becomes king because of one's power!"
Xiao Zhi muttered, his face pale. This Diagram Array was simply too complicated. When he finally looked at it, he realized that even his own soul was trapped inside, unable to extricate itself.
"Pfft!"
Xiao Zhi spat out a mouthful of blood and finally retreated.
"How terrifying."
The Xiao Zhi was horrified. He felt that if he did not react in time, his spirit would have been damaged, and it would take a very long time to recover. The diagram on this golden paper definitely had something to do with a shocking secret.
Even if this wasn't created by the Conqueror, the person who created this formation was definitely a top-notch expert.
"My current cultivation level isn't high enough, although I have a certain level of knowledge."
Xiao Zhi was not discouraged and quickly thought of the most important problem. If there came a day when his strength increased, his soul would become even more powerful. He believed that he would definitely be able to comprehend the array diagrams on it. By that time, he would definitely have a great harvest.
But it was strange, even though he didn't comprehend this Diagram Array. But when Xiao Zhi thought of the kind of 'bomb' he thought of using a formation diagram to make, it actually went very smoothly, and was many times better than what he had comprehended previously.
As the feeling rose, Xiao Zhi took out a piece of volcanic jade, and quickly carved a simple array diagram inside using Dao Energy. It was recorded from the 'Formation Theory'. Everything was very simple, and it was quickly completed. As he used it, the power behind it was great, directly blowing a huge rock into smithereens.
"So powerful."
Xiao Zhi stared at him in shock. It was definitely worth his current full power attack. If it was mass-produced, he would only need to throw out bombs when he met cultivators of similar cultivation level.
"However, I should give him a name."
The Xiao Zhi smiled playfully, "You call it a big killing machine?"
"Heh, a good name. I am indeed a genius."
"What a pity, if only I could obtain the three methods to temper this dao diagram. That would be great."
The Xiao Zhi felt slightly regretful as this was extremely important to him. He thought about it, but there was no result, he could only wait until the next time he entered Meridian to look around.
"Why does this golden paper have this pattern? The golden sword diagram was actually a Dao item that was hidden within. This pattern, logically speaking, should be extraordinary. "
Xiao Zhi muttered in his heart and started to make conjectures.
Immediately, the Xiao Zhi no longer cared about the formation diagram, but instead carefully looked at the man's back on the golden paper, especially the three dao diagrams. Every one of them was vivid, as if a real person was standing in front of him.
"Hmm?"
After a long while, Xiao Zhi cried out in surprise. He could see some clues from the diagram. He discovered that there was actually a subtle connection between the three dao diagrams. Although all of them appeared to be in the background, compared to the power of Dao, there was actually a strange connection between the three of them.
It was as though there was an invisible link that locked the three of them together.
"Boom!"
When the Xiao Zhi caught sight of his attention, the three dao diagrams on his back appeared at the same time, giving rise to a violent shock wave.
