Chapter 933: Chapter 931: Refining the Demon Core
Wang Zhan nodded with a smile, and then without hesitating, he quickly headed toward the distance.
After all, for him, time was of the utmost importance.
Since he was preparing to seize the Divine Heart, he definitely needed to increase his power within a short period.
If others wanted to achieve this, it wouldn’t be easy, but for Wang Zhan, it wasn’t difficult.
After all, he had a Demon Core. If he could refine it, his power would surely increase significantly.
As soon as Wang Zhan entered the back mountain, he saw the Sword Spirit emerging from the side.
The Sword Spirit approached Wang Zhan and then said with a smile, "I didn’t expect that the current Sky Pavilion has changed so much; everyone is so united. I suppose it won’t be long before the Demon Core will dominate as a Sect."
"By then, as the master of the Sky Pavilion, you’ll become a renowned figure on the Star War Battlefield."
Wang Zhan shook his head and said with a smile, "Actually, I don’t think much about it. I just want to enhance my own strength and protect those around me, that’s enough. As for other things, I’m really not interested."
"In fact, I have no desire to be the master of the Sky Pavilion."
"Didn’t you see this?"
Actually, the Sword Spirit had long perceived this.
She had understood Wang Zhan’s intentions for quite some time, naturally knowing what was in his heart.
The Sword Spirit said with a smile, "I had always adhered to the belief that to improve one’s power, one should rely on oneself. Having any teammates is a burden because it would be a drag on you. But after witnessing the current situation, I suddenly changed my mind..."
"Perhaps it is all due to the influence of my first master, which is why I have this thought."
"But I must say, both have their merits. Being a lone wanderer can free oneself of many burdens, but to become one, you would have to abandon many relationships around you. I doubt that you could do this."
"Moreover, I can sense your heart is extremely soft; even when facing enemies, you couldn’t possibly go all out unless they cross your line."
Wang Zhan merely nodded, acknowledging that the Sword Spirit understood him well.
After a moment, Wang Zhan continued, "I thought that Xiang Tian knew me best, as we spent the longest time together, but I never imagined the person who knows me best is you, who can see through my thoughts."
Upon hearing this, the Sword Spirit’s lips curved into a soft smile as she shook her head and said, "Have you forgotten? We have long been spiritually connected."
"So, understanding you isn’t unusual. Even in the future when you marry and have children, I will still be the person who understands you the most."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan laughed awkwardly.
He had come to the Star War Battlefield with many things to deal with, so how could he be thinking about such matters?
Before they spoke, the two had already entered the back mountain.
They didn’t approach Feng Tianci, as he and Zuo Linglong were busy researching elixir refinement and had no time to attend to them.
And Wang Zhan had already learned the solution, so there was no need to trouble anyone.
In a flash, Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit found a decent cave.
As the two entered, Wang Zhan quickly sealed the cave entrance, promptly sitting cross-legged on one side. Glancing at the Sword Spirit beside him, he laughed and said, "Soon, I’ll start closed cultivation, and what will you do then?"
"Are you going to stay by my side all the time?"
The Sword Spirit’s lips curved into a faint smile as she spoke slowly, "Sounds quite good. In the coming time, I do plan to stay here temporarily, as I need to increase my power, too. Although I am merely a Sword Spirit, we’ve been spiritually connected for quite some time. If my power increases, it will benefit you."
"So, since you are striving to advance, how could I possibly stand still?"
Hearing this, Wang Zhan nodded.
As long as the Sword Spirit has things to do, it would be enough.
Otherwise, he would truly feel uncomfortable in his heart.
In an instant, Wang Zhan took out the Demon Core from his bosom.
Next, the Sword Spirit walked up to his side and, with a smile, said, "According to Feng Tianci’s intentions, first use your Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation to refine this Demon Core. If it cannot be refined, then add the black beads into it."
"However, I must warn you of one thing: once this black bead is mixed in, a lot of turbulent energy will be produced. If you can’t control it well, it might cause some backlash against you. After all, this black bead is condensed by Feng Tianci."
"It contains all of his residual malice."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan paused in surprise, glanced at the Sword Spirit beside him with puzzlement and slowly asked, "What do you mean? Why is there still such a thing here?"
"Hmm..."
After pondering for a moment, the Sword Spirit explained, "Actually, such things appearing are quite normal. After all, Feng Tianci’s power is extremely formidable, so he has methods to separate negative emotions from his body. Of course, the presence of these negative emotions can very likely cause such top experts to go berserk. Therefore, not only Feng Tianci does this, but many others do as well..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan slightly squinted his eyes.
He lightly tapped his head with his fingers and then said, "According to your explanation, if I clear all the negative emotions from my body, can my strength further improve?"
"Theoretically, yes, but your strength has not reached the level of Feng Tianci. So even if you don’t clear the negative emotions in your body, you remain a big furnace, continuously rising. Only when you reach a bottleneck do you need to do this."
Wang Zhan suddenly understood.
A faint smile appeared on his lips, and he then said, "Having you by my side is truly lucky; you know everything about everything."
The Sword Spirit nodded and continued to say, "I don’t deny that; having me around means fewer wrong turns, as my first master experienced. Even though my first master survived for many years on the Star War Battlefield, there were many things he didn’t understand."
"After all, on the Star War Battlefield, not only must one have rich experience, but also knowledge of past matters."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan looked at him in confusion and then asked, "According to what you say, how many years have you existed on the Star War Battlefield?"
"Hmm..."
The Sword Spirit hesitated for a moment, thought carefully, and then shook his head, "Actually, even I don’t know; it should count as many years..."
"Perhaps from the birth of the Star War Battlefield, I have existed, but the battlefield has a long history, so even my memory is not that far-reaching..."
After hearing this, Wang Zhan smiled helplessly.
He did not ask much more, for having the Sword Spirit beside him was sufficient; other things were irrelevant to him.
In an instant, Wang Zhan activated the Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation, immediately throwing the Demon Core into it.
For a moment, a series of thunderous laughter echoed in his ears.
Immediately, the Demon Core was seen chaotically darting back and forth within the formation.
It seemed the Demon Core held a trace of spiritual wisdom.
Unfortunately, even so, it could not escape the formation.
The Sword Spirit walked to Wang Zhan’s side, gazed at the Demon Core within the formation, and slowly said, "It seems the Wolf Emperor has existed on the Star War Battlefield for many years, hence its Demon Core has reached such strength."
"Even if this Demon Core is released outside, it may not take long for it to recreate a body, as it possesses Divine Sense. I suspect it can even control part of the Wolf Emperor’s thoughts."
Wang Zhan chuckled, then took out the black beads from his pouch and threw them fiercely into the formation.
"No matter if it has its own thoughts; what does it matter? Once these beads enter, even if it were a deity, it would likely perish inside..."
"And its Divine Sense will be completely obliterated by then."
The Sword Spirit merely nodded.
Rather than saying he provided Wang Zhan with considerable convenience, it might be better to say having Feng Tianci by his side made things smoother for Wang Zhan...
After all, Feng Tianci’s power lies there, offering immense help to Wang Zhan in many areas.
In an instant, thunderous sounds echoed again.
The next instant, the Demon Core exploded.
Then, an energy ripple surged forth!
