Chapter 1542: Chapter 1187: Reforged Body! Defying Destiny Requires Defiant Deeds! (Monthly Ticket Bonus 8)

"Is this... the Divine Stone?"

Jiang Dali’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the irregularly shaped, shimmering crystal embedded in Zhu Wushi’s chest, protruding from the flesh. The moment he sensed that incredibly familiar energy fluctuation, he immediately recognized it as the Divine Stone.

"That’s right! It is the Divine Stone!"

Zhu Wushi looked directly at Jiang Dali with frankness and said, "On that day at the Heaven Mountain battle, we were all gravely injured, and Xiong Ba even lost his life. At that time, we gathered all our strength, even reversing the Heaven and Earth Power that Xiong Ba had gathered, turning it downward, and not only killed Xiong Ba but also destroyed the Divine Stone in his hand.

But... even I did not expect that part of the Divine Stone fragments were absorbed into Zhu Yunwen’s body by my Absorption Skill during that time."

Pausing for a moment, Zhu Wushi continued, "At that time, I was severely injured and in a stupor, unclear about the situation. It was only four or five days later when my injuries began to heal that I gradually became aware of the Divine Stone’s existence.

Later, after you disappeared, I returned to Ming Country. Utilizing the Divine Stone’s transformative power, assisted by the material energy absorbed with the Absorption Skill, using the Heavenly Fury Sword as the backbone, and the Heavenly Silkworm Demon Technique as a supplementary method, I absorbed the flesh and blood of a Divine Ape Strange Beast and remolded a new body, which is the body I now possess."

Even with Jiang Dali’s broad experience, he was utterly shocked at this moment, eyes glowing with amazement as he stared at Zhu Wushi, as if listening to a fantastical tale.

For this kind of body remolding was simply something inconceivable and beyond human capability.

"You don’t believe it?" Zhu Wushi said with a smile, "I once said I would spare Zhu Yunwen, and I will never break my word. Now, I have become myself, while Zhu Yunwen remains as the Emperor in Ming Country."

Jiang Dali took a deep breath, observing Zhu Wushi’s body, which indeed seemed extraordinarily unusual, feeling it was composed as if of a mixture of steel, rubber, and stone, filled with strength, flexibility, and sturdiness, truly incredible.

"I believe it!"

Jiang Dali nodded slightly, "You’ve already embarked on another path, and anything is possible. Although I too have ventured onto a different path, ultimately I have reached the same end as everyone else, a new starting point which is the Returning to Truth Realm. You are different; you have completely diverged from us.

With your mastery of the Absorption Skill, absorbing Heaven and Earth and devouring all things, combined with the energy-enhancing and ampliative traits of the Divine Stone and the equally strong suction power of the Heavenly Fury Sword, it is quite normal for you to absorb material and remold the body."

Though not a native, he was very clear about knowledge in areas like physics and chemistry, understanding that the human body is essentially composed of more than sixty chemical elements.

While native Martial World people might struggle to comprehend how one creates a body, as a transmigrant, he could understand.

For, remolding a body, to someone like Zhu Wushi, who could absorb matter and even merge with the Heavenly Fury Sword, was not a difficult task.

Only a bit of study was needed to draw and reconstruct the corresponding materials required to remold a new physique.

But the body is not key; the most crucial aspects of a person are the spirit and soul.

Even if the body was remolded, the spirit and soul of an ordinary person would have long dissipated, making it impossible to achieve a long life and continue living just by remolding the body.

However, Zhu Wushi’s spirit was exceptionally powerful. After remolding his body, he could let his spirit inhabit this new body and continue living.

Imagine a strong person in the Returning to Truth Realm, whose body is destroyed but whose Primordial Spirit survives, seizing a fitting body to continue existing until the day their life runs out, and their spirit dissipates.

Zhu Wushi could remold a body for himself, so naturally, he could survive.

It’s just that revealing this information from his mouth made it all the more chilling.

That he could disclose it so openly made it apparent that he still regarded Jiang Dali as a confiding friend, which also greatly comforted Jiang Dali at this moment.

"Brother Jiang is indeed quick-witted to grasp the critical points so swiftly."

Zhu Wushi was surprised and appreciative of Jiang Dali’s insight and comprehension, saying with a smile, "Back then, in order to research remolding this body, I expended a substantial amount of effort; the process was arduous and challenging. I even had several bodies that, after being remolded, couldn’t align with my Primordial Spirit, and I had to discard them, wasting my mental and material resources.

If not for my spiritual power being able to be swiftly replenished via the Absorption Skill, I might not have been able to persist."

"Such defiance against the heavens is something only those of us with a Heaven-defying Destiny Chart could accomplish; I, of course, understand the hardships involved." Jiang Dali nodded, knowing Zhu Wushi’s words were sincere.

Anyone else wouldn’t be able to achieve this remarkable feat, for it was Zhu Wushi’s forging of another path combined with myriad technicalities.

"So you saying the timing isn’t right to leave here is related to this body of yours?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Jiang Dali asked as he gazed at Zhu Wushi, returning to the main subject.

"Correct!" Zhu Wushi nodded, looking back at the palm print on the Iron Gate with gravity, "The reason I haven’t left is that ever since I arrived here, I’ve been able to sense the strong Sword Intent within this Iron Gate, which is undoubtedly the Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Saber of the Martial Saint."

"Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Saber!?"

Jiang Dali’s thick eyebrows raised as he also looked at the Iron Gate, cautiously sensing, but unable to detect any Sword Intent, and couldn’t help but frown.

When one’s Martial Arts reaches a certain Realm, they naturally sense the ’intent’ of various Divine Weapons, and can even establish a Heart-to-Heart connection with their own weapon’s Spirituality.

Zhu Wushi glanced at Jiang Dali, smiling, "It appears that you indeed can’t sense the presence of this blade, which is why I stayed here for twelve days and was not mistaken.

Originally, someone wielded this blade to cleave me and the Purple Robe Scripture King apart, and the Sword Intent, accompanied by the power of the City Toppling Love, drew me here. Thus, I was able to continually sense the presence of the Sword Intent and pinpoint the location of the blade.

Mrs. Wushuang once hinted to me that this palm print marks the position where the Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Saber is hidden within this Iron Gate.

This blade is hidden somewhere behind the palm mark inside the door. If someone with a Fengyun’s Fate comes here, places their palm into the mark, and then concentrates and channels force on the Iron Gate, the Power of Life Chart on their body will draw the Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Saber out.

And at that moment, once the Azure Dragon Moon Blade emerges, it will activate the intricate mechanism within the door, causing the Iron Gate to rise automatically."

Jiang Dali, "It seems that indeed, those with the Fengyun’s Fate are exceptionally fortunate. So since you can sense that knife yet cannot draw it out or open the door, why wait for me? Do you think I can do it? I haven’t even sensed the Sword Intent."

Zhu Wushi suddenly laughed, "Brother Jiang, why do you feign ignorance at such a time? You know that with your arrival, the timing has come."

Jiang Dali laughed heartily, an immense spirit rising in his chest, "It seems indeed, Old Zhu, you and I share a Heart-to-Heart connection, without prior arrangement.

We both defy the heavens and are averse to abiding by others’ rules, disliking being constrained within predefined bounds, so why must we adhere to conventional means to break this impasse?"

"Hahahaha!"

Zhu Wushi also laughed, sympathizing deeply, "Exactly! Since this door was initially meant for those with a Fengyun’s Fate and never left us a path, why should we tread the path meant for Fengyun? We—have our own way!"

Their eyes met simultaneously, smiling knowingly and contentedly at each other.

Their spirits merged seamlessly, aligning more perfectly than any confidant.

In the next moment, Zhu Wushi suddenly shouted, raising his hands high, aiming at the Iron Gate to release an astounding purple suction, "Brother Jiang, now I will use the Absorption Skill to forcibly lock onto the Sword Intent and draw the Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Saber out from behind this Iron Gate, seize the opportunity!"

"Do it!"

Jiang Dali’s eyes flashed with brilliance, clasping his hands together in front of his chest, his entire body immediately condensing into a dazzling Golden Light, the momentum as if coalesced into a solid iron mass, immobile as a mountain, standing as a deep and imposing peak.

War God Chronicles—Solid as Gold Soup!

His clothing, cloak, all in the midst of Zhu Wushi’s tempestuous vacuum of excessive suction, suddenly retracted from a state of frenzied fluttering, tightly clinging to his body, outlining layered, taut muscles, unmoving as a strand.

"Absorption Skill!"

Seated cross-legged on the ground, Zhu Wushi’s body suddenly flared with a magnificent light from his Dantian position. As his hands jointly clutched towards the Iron Gate, fierce purple qi immediately spun up to form an immensely powerful invisible vortex, concentrating like drills and wheels into two strong airstreams with a half-zhang diameter, shrouding towards the Iron Gate.

Rumble!!!—

The entire massive Iron Gate was also shaken by this terrifying suction, trembling and resonating slightly.

The air in the tunnel seemed to turn into a vacuum rapidly, with dust and air currents spirally sucked away towards Zhu Wushi’s vicinity, which constituted a suction field.

These two bold Heaven-defying individuals were audaciously planning to take an unconventional path, forcibly extracting the Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Saber from behind the Iron Gate...
