Spiritual jade formed by condensation of high-purity uranium ore? Could it be that the Chu Dynasty was on the verge of creating a "homemade atomic bomb"? Hearing such a reply, Zhao Qing was also slightly shocked. His previous guess had been confirmed, and he was just about to point out this thing.

The harm caused by it, Emperor Chu continued to add:

"Many years ago, there was a record in the classics of 'offering jade to kill people'. Some people have long discovered that some jade stones that look pleasant in color can actually emit invisible rays that kill people. In the world of practitioners,

, there have been such jade and fine gold refined into powerful magic weapons in all dynasties."

"While they have unique properties, they are also naturally accompanied by certain negative effects and risks. This is a trade-off and a balance."

"In fact, our master craftsmen and practitioners were aware of the lethal nature of the 'Eclipse Dzi Bead' when refining it, and set up dozens of layers of seals inside and outside it, and placed it in a black lead treasure box, deep inside

Hidden beneath the palace treasure house, almost no one has ever touched it...until the day I brought it out."

“I wonder how many of you have ever heard of the name ‘Demon Sword’?”

Probably recalling his magnificent past, Emperor Chu sighed: "This is also a famous sword with similar characteristics. The first-generation sword master and the second-generation sword master are both first-class grand masters, but they have brought

of misfortune and ominousness.”

"Qi Hanshan and Li Guanlan?"

Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly, and he remembered the two swordsmen at Bashan Sword Field in the past. The former was a generation older than Wang Jingmeng, and the latter was Wang Jingmeng's senior brother. He was defeated by the current Hulangbei during the Changling Incident.

The army general Liang Lian was betrayed and died under siege by the Qin army.

"Exactly."

Emperor Chu nodded and said: "Nearly a hundred years ago, a meteorite fell in the Qinjing Pass. The meteorite was called a demon star or a confused star by the star officials at that time. And the place where the meteorite hit happened to be

The largest sword house in Guanzhong is the Fire Tempering House, and several famous sword masters perished in this sky fire."

"However, what is unbelievable is that when the meteorite hit the blast furnace, some of the sword tires turned into molten scrap iron. However, in the center of the meteorite hit, the fine gold in the meteorite and some black iron in the blast furnace turned into molten scrap iron.

They condensed into one thing, that is, the Demonic Sword."

"This sword cannot be said to be completely naturally formed, because it usually comes from the Skyfire Meteorite, but half of it also comes from some sword embryos that are almost completed in the blast furnace. But it happens to be formed in such a sword shape, in the eyes of many people,

Naturally, it’s a monster thing.”

"The birth of this sword has a strange color, so it was generally called the Demon Sword or the Demon Star Sword at that time."

Chu Qifeng's face had a sad look on his face, and he continued to explain: "But what people remember more about this sword is its weight. It is truly as heavy as a mountain. Practitioners under the six realms cannot do it at all.

I can't even lift it, let alone perform any complete sword moves with the sword."

"And the first owner of this sword was the young master of the Qi family of the Guanzhong clan to which the sword refining workshop belonged. He was the most famous in Guanzhong at the time and the fastest genius practitioner to reach the Seventh Realm in the past few decades.

, Qi Hanshan, later known as the ‘Master of the Demonic Sword’.”

"The young and energetic Qi Hanshan was not afraid of the ominous omen brought by the Demonic Sword. Instead, he was full of love and expectation for this sword. In order to bring out the most powerful aspect of this sword, he even went to great lengths to obtain it.

The Mountain Prison Sword Sutra of the Xuanshan Sword Sect in the past."

"He combined many sword moves from the Mountain Prison Sword Sutra and created a 'Chongshan Sword' on his own, which was called one-sword-breaking by people at the time. Because after Qi Hanshan created this sword, he was invincible in Guanzhong for a while, and no one else

Being able to withstand such a sword attack from him, he defeated countless powerful enemies and left countless legends behind."

"This style of 'Chongshan Sword' is the prototype of the 'Jianshan Sword' cultivated by Gu Huai, a former disciple of the Bashan Sword Field and the current leader of the Lingxu Sword Sect. To this day, few people can match it."

"However, just when Qi Hanshan was becoming famous, the curse of the Bewitching Sword quietly came. Some of the fine gold in this sword had a slowly eroding effect on the bodies of ordinary people. When he discovered it, his wife

He is seriously ill and difficult to treat. And his wife is pregnant with his child."

"And her death seemed to trigger a greater disaster. That year, Guanzhong suffered a severe drought that had never been seen in a century. Countless people were displaced and starved to death everywhere. After the drought, the plague came again, taking away countless people's lives.

Life. Many wealthy families declined as a result, including the Qi family."

"Later, Qi Hanshan appeared again, in the year when Wang Jingmeng worshiped Bashan at Bashan Sword Field. The evil star in the sky exuded a strange red light and returned to the world, never knowing that it was thousands of miles away.

The cold starry sky is reflected, as if echoing this demonic sword from afar."

Chu Qifeng sighed: "No one knows why this bewitching sword was passed on to Li Guanlan, who was the most advanced among the younger generation in the Bashan Sword Field at that time, instead of Wang, who was a late entrant and had the highest talent.

It’s a shocking dream, but no matter what, Li Guanlan eventually became the first grandmaster of Bashan’s generation to reach the top level of the Seventh Realm.”

So, is Bewitching a short-period comet or a centaur asteroid (Chiron comet)? It has the characteristics of both an asteroid and a comet, and it looks particularly red due to the large number of tholins on its surface. It looks like Bewitching Sword.

A broken piece of it?

Zhao Qing secretly thought in his mind and speculated that the Bewitching Sword originating from such comets should be an excellent sword for wielding the Star Fire Comet Tail Sword, and its power might be quite close to that of the Nine Netherworld Sword.

"I don't want a sword that can corrode and damage the body. I don't want it. Normal people should understand this, right?" At the same time, Xia Mi frowned and couldn't help but interjected, "Don't Li Guanlan know this?

Is this sword a curse? Why accept it?"

"The reason is very simple. The curse of the Bewitching Sword has been artificially exaggerated, and its value in practice far exceeds its negative effects. The progress and final achievements of Qi Hanshan and Li Guanlan are probably

More than half of it is due to it.”

Emperor Chu chuckled and casually revealed a secret that had been sealed for a long time: "Although the Demonic Sword has some responsibility for the death of Qi Hanshan's wife and children, it is more because he used to be too heavy-handed against the enemy.

One move was fatal and left no room for error, so the enemy found an opportunity and poisoned the medicine to death."

"Wang Jingmeng voluntarily gave up the Demonic Sword because the latter's people are stronger than the sword and do not need such a sword at all. Such a sword will only hinder the height he can reach. But most practitioners need it.

Only by relying on this sword can we stand at a higher level."

"Similarly, after learning the truth about the curse of the 'Bewitching Sword', I immediately thought of the rumored 'Eclipse Dzi Bead' with similar characteristics, and paranoidly believed that the quality of an artifact does not depend on

Whether it itself has flaws depends on whether the person who uses it has enough will and determination."

"Considering that the skill of my 'Holy Hand' should be above that of the Guanzhong Quenching Ju, Qi Hanshan himself did not suffer from premature aging and death due to this sword. It was just that his wife and children, who were relatively low in cultivation, fell ill. The risk is quite limited. I

I thought there would be no big problem if it was activated with protective measures in place."

Emperor Chu's tone was full of self-deprecation and regret: "However, I was wrong after all. Big mistake! The harm of Eclipse Dzi Pearl is far greater than I imagined, and it is infinitely more terrifying than the Bewitching Sword.

times."

"In the early days of my cultivation, the Eclipse Dzi Pearl indeed brought me indescribable benefits. Under the dual effects of it and the 'Human King Jade', my cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, almost at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon

It broke the entire Chu Dynasty’s cultivation speed record.”

"Next, I went into seclusion to understand the changes in the Xuanshu Formation. Based on the 'Eclipse Heaven Bead', I successfully evolved a set of 'unparalleled techniques' that can change the law of vitality in this world on a large scale and confuse chaos.

The spiritual thoughts and perceptions of practitioners are already one of the main characteristics of the Eight Realms!"

"Most people know that the eighth realm of spiritual practice is called 'Qitian', but in some unique ancient classics, there is another name called 'Shenhuo'. Two different names

, which represents two different angles of looking at the Eight Realms."

"Although this feature is not complete and belongs to the simultaneous weakening of both the enemy and ourselves, coupled with our powerful talisman craftsmanship, it is enough to significantly reduce the cultivation advantage of Qinjing swordsmen and amplify the role of the army. During the battle,

We can also use special heavy armor to resist this effect."

"At that time, I was filled with joy, thinking that I had finally found a magic weapon to compete with those powerful practitioners in the Bashan Sword Field of the Qin Dynasty, allowing me to dominate the empire. However, I never expected that this so-called 'magic weapon' was actually a hidden weapon.

A monster in great crisis.”

"When I refined it into a life object, everything changed. The originally gentle rays became extremely violent, eroding my body all the time. Although my cultivation is still growing slowly, every improvement is accompanied by

Suffering unbearable pain.”

"I tried to suppress it in various ways, but to no avail." Emperor Chu's face became extremely pale, as if recalling those painful days: "During that time, I was like living in purgatory, every day

They are all fighting against the erosion of the Eclipse Dzi Pearl."

"My body is gradually weakening, and my lifespan is also shortened sharply. I finally understand that I have made an irreparable mistake. And my unsatisfactory heirs may have been affected by the 'Eclipse Dzi Bead' and have changed.

It’s so deformed.”

Having said this, Emperor Chu slowly released a weak but powerful aura, and a dark ball of light rose up in his palm. Through the cold black light curtain, one could see clearly that there was a ball of light inside.

Many small colored crystals combine with each other to form clustered spheres, sealing the majestic death energy.

Then, he frowned slightly and stretched his fingers towards the ground as if enduring great pain. He saw that the "Eclipse Dzi Bead" immediately shot out a ray of silence as thick as a thumb, which silently penetrated the upper body.

Hundreds of feet of soil and rocks left a bottomless hole in the ground.

In Zhao Qing's induction, this beam of annihilation formed a strange scene like an inverted mushroom cloud deep underground. Countless eroded vitality in the strata collided together in disorder, converging into numerous vortices.

Like a black lotus blooming suddenly.

In the ten-mile-square area where the entire Talisman Bidding Conference was held, there were dozens of ordinary-looking spectators, and five or six craftsmen who were measuring and verifying the Talisman Equipment data. They suddenly felt an influx of people at their feet.

Many unfamiliar qi mechanisms penetrated into the meridians of the whole body in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, the Qi and blood in these well-hidden spies of the Qin Dynasty began to steam in their bodies, and their bodies felt a little hot, as if they were being pricked by fine needles. The true energy that was flowing normally seemed to be out of balance and became violent.

stand up;

Like crystals precipitating, countless tiny particles were naturally generated, which accumulated layer by layer in the flesh and meridians, blocking the normal flow of vitality. The nearby flowers and plants also withered immediately, and were contaminated by the leaked qi, turning into gray lead.

Colored dust.

"Ah——!" A Qin spy disguised as a craftsman was the first to bear the brunt. He immediately screamed and fell to the ground with blood from all his orifices. The skin all over his body festered at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a pitch black color, and it continued.

The ground was bubbling, as if it had been poured with boiling oil.

"Save me, save me quickly!" Another Qin spy lurking in the crowd discovered the abnormality in his body and screamed in horror. His face quickly swelled into a pig's head, and his eyes were almost squeezed.

It became a thin line and it was impossible to see what was ahead.

Similar screams came one after another.
