Chapter 751: Chapter 474: Return and Harvest (Part 2)

And so, ten minutes later, Wang Zhifan left this enchanted realm and, together with the Dragon Maiden Mie Xiyue, arrived outside the Shuyue Pavilion.

They walked slowly on the somewhat deserted streets of Shuyue City because this was the last bit of time they had together.

At this moment, holding Wang Zhifan’s hand, the Dragon Maiden Mie Xiyue turned her stunning face towards the tall young man beside her, her eyes filled with reluctance, and slowly said:

"Fan, I’ve actually been wanting to go with you to the beach on Moon Destruction Island again, but unfortunately, the master has taken back the Demon Sealing List..."

"Let’s go when I return. We’ll watch the sunset together again then."

Wang Zhifan smiled at her in response, appearing confident in his return to this world.

But in reality, he had already sensed the increasing repulsive force of this world against him, constantly reminding him that the maximum time he could extend his stay was about to end.

The Dragon Maiden seemed to have noticed this too. Her fingers tightened slightly around Wang Zhifan’s hand, as if trying to hold him firmly.

"Oh, Fan! You still haven’t told me what name we should give our child!"

Suddenly, the Dragon Maiden remembered this crucial question. They had discussed it during their beach meeting the other day, but they hadn’t come to a satisfying conclusion.

"I haven’t decided yet..."

Wang Zhifan admitted with a slightly embarrassed smile, as he wasn’t particularly good at naming, especially when it came to something as important as naming a child.

"Xi, I can only trouble you with this until I return..."

Suddenly, Wang Zhifan felt the repulsive force of this world reach its limit, and he quickly continued to speak.

But before he could finish, he was forcibly removed from this world, returning in a daze to Dongjiang City on Blue Star.

In the blink of an eye, he was the same person, but the world around him was entirely different.

Wang Zhifan found himself standing on the second-floor balcony of a villa in East City, and the Dongjiang City before him was bathed in the warm morning sun, not much different from the early morning when he first entered the realm.

He quietly observed the bustling scene for several seconds, the vibrant sights before him making him feel somewhat empty inside, as if something was missing.

After thinking it over, he concluded that external forces were obstructing him from attaining true freedom, so he made a firm resolve in his heart, saying to himself:

"From today on, practice diligently! Strive to grow stronger!"

He then turned around, leaving the balcony and entering the house, beginning to take stock of the rewards from the previous realm.

First was the legendary weapon Cyan Emperor Saber, which he had already examined during the extended period in the realm but hadn’t actually used.

Upon taking it out again, he found it to be in the same state as when he last checked, still looking like an unremarkable ancient long sword.

The sword as a whole seemed like an ordinary ancient artifact, with its scabbard and hilt being a black-brown color, exuding a rustic impression of ancient metalwork techniques.

When drawn, the blade appeared to have a peculiar cyan-blue hue, looking as though it was covered in large patches of green rust, making it hard to convey any sense of sharpness, more like an ancient weapon artifact with no trace of its legendary exceptional quality.

"I’ve heard that divine objects hide their magnificence... Are you also waiting for my growth?"

The legendary treasured sword looked rather unremarkable, but Wang Zhifan didn’t mind.

Because his perception was strong enough to vaguely sense the deeper secret of this weapon: it was hiding itself, waiting for a powerful master it could acknowledge.

"There is a category of ’spiritual weapons’ on the reward list, and this Cyan Emperor Saber is for sure a spiritual weapon, and a top-tier one at that... A little temper is normal."

Wang Zhifan understood the reason behind this phenomenon; the Cyan Emperor Saber differed from the weapons he had obtained before, possessing spiritual intelligence, akin to a Divine Weapon.

Weapons with spiritual intelligence aren’t merely cold metal; they require harmony between them and their master, or rather, a mutual selection process.

If they aren’t satisfied with their master, they would halfheartedly perform as if they were inert iron scrap.

But if they truly acknowledge their master, they will exhibit their full potential.

Oftentimes, with just a thought from the master, the weapons resonate and act on their own, their combat efficiency several tiers above that of inanimate objects.

"Stay with me, and you’ll encounter many powerful foes. I believe you’ll enjoy the thrill of fighting to your fullest."

With a slow re-sheathing of the old battered Cyan Emperor Saber, Wang Zhifan prepared to end his second encounter with this legendary spiritual blade.

But just as he was about to store it back into his carry space, the Cyan Emperor Saber suddenly vibrated gently, as if in protest.

"Oh? You’re saying you don’t want to enter the carry space? Finding it too boring in there?"

As the master of the Cyan Emperor Saber, Wang Zhifan instantly understood its wish, no matter how rough their fusion was.

"Fair enough... Locking an intelligent being like you in a confined space seems inappropriate... You may stay outside for now."

Without much hesitation, Wang Zhifan placed the sheathed Cyan Emperor Saber on his bedroom nightstand, fulfilling its request.

It was indeed a new experience for him, having a weapon, rather than a sentient creature, making requests to him like this. None of his previous weapons had done so.

He then watched the ancient long sword with curiosity, wondering if it would display any special behaviors next, knowing that if it got too wild, he couldn’t just let it be.

However, at the moment, the Cyan Emperor Saber rested on the nightstand without any reaction, once again returning to its inert state, compelling him to turn his eyes away, thinking:

"The remaining two rewards, I also completely assessed during the extended period in the realm...

The legendary cultivation technique inheritance ’All Space-Time Eternal Freedom Profound Chapter’ is as described, a top-tier cultivation technique about the grand path of space-time.

Its entry requirement is that the cultivator must first perceive and contact the space-time laws, an undoubtedly enormous challenge... But with my existing conditions, I should have a hope to overcome this hurdle...

I also awakened a Mythical True Spirit Guardian, but it wasn’t the Cyan Dragon True Spirit I most wanted. Instead, it randomly settled on another..."

As Wang Zhifan’s mind moved, an ancient, magnificent, solemn, fervent, sky-covering, indescribable presence emerged in his mind.

This presence was more dazzling than the midday summer sun, its entire being bathed in brilliant golden-red light, and as it was the Guardian, Wang Zhifan had to focus intensely to vaguely determine it was a massively grand "Firebird", the Vermilion Bird from the four great True Spirits!

"The Vermilion Bird isn’t just a powerful avian, it is indeed a true god, just appearing in the form of a divine bird of fire...

What I can conjure now is merely a small projection of it, yet enough to be overwhelming...

The true being of it, even among deities, is remarkably strong. Being protected by it, I too must carry a sense of reverence, not summoning it lightly..."

This was the information Wang Zhifan automatically acquired after awakening his Vermilion Bird Guardian Spirit, clarifying that this Mythical Guardian Spirit reward was immensely powerful beyond bounds!

Although Wang Zhifan cannot command this Guardian Spirit as casually as an ordinary summon, the power of Guardian Spirit Vermilion Bird is undeniable, with it being genuinely divine, and a highly powerful one at that!

Whenever Wang Zhifan encounters severe situations, like being attacked by a divine-level entity or encountering divine-level law traps, the Vermilion Bird would appear to shield him, vanquishing opponents. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The only issue is, Wang Zhifan cannot easily summon this great presence just at will, as it is his Guardian Spirit, not a servant, generally only appearing during crises, resulting in its lack of presence on ordinary days.
