Scholar Zhu was stunned. He had just mentioned how immortal artifacts possess sentience and only recognize heirs of the Thirteen Families as their masters, yet this artifact ran to acknowledge Chen Shi as its master!

For a thousand years, it had hung on the Yellow Earth Slope, witnessing countless strange occurrences, but none were as bizarre as this.

The reason immortal artifacts are called immortal artifacts, aside from the thousands of refinements by immortals, is the constant offering of Incense Fire Qi. Which of the immortal artifacts held by the Thirteen Families hasn't been nourished for over six thousand years?

Some might have even been consecrated with incense for ten thousand years!

After all, the True King Era was exceedingly long.

These immortal artifacts, steeped in incense, naturally became closer to the heirs of the Thirteen Families. Others who wish to claim the artifacts would have to forcibly purge the Incense Fire Qi hidden within. However, doing so would greatly diminish the artifact's power.

Of course, among remaining relics from prehistoric times, there are quite a few immortal artifacts. Yet, due to lack of nourishment for too long, they lost their extraordinary power and, without the legacy of incense, do not actively seek out masters. This explains why Chen Shi could snatch the Yin Yang Sun Moon Ring from Zhong Wuwang.

Chen Shi hesitated a bit, ignoring the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword, and bypassing it, he said, "Let's go search for other immortal artifacts; we might find an unowned one!"

Scholar Zhu quickly said, "Little Ten, this artifact recognizes you as its master, why don't you accept it?"

"Something delivered to my door, I don't want it!"

Chen Shi shook his head, saying, "This sword is extremely ominous."

Black Pot and the wooden cart caught up as Chen Shi was about to get on, when suddenly the Blood Transformation Divine Saber flew up and followed him.

Chen Shi furrowed his brows slightly. The Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword was indeed a powerful immortal artifact, especially when paired with the Blood Lake Scripture. In his hands, its power was even more dominant, possibly more useful than the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler!

He could even comprehend the Demon Path Sword Technique contained within the Blood Transformation Divine Saber.

But he vividly recalled how the demonic sword had once controlled him.

With the demonic sword in hand, it was no longer him wielding the sword, but the sword wielding him.

The demonic nature of the Blood Transformation Divine Saber was too strong, and Chen Shi was not confident in controlling this sword, so he chose to avoid it.

However, the Blood Transformation Divine Saber seemed unwilling to part from him, continuing to follow closely behind.

"This sword is extremely perilous."

Little Dun Fairy suddenly hid in Chen Shi's small temple, saying, "I sensed its world-shattering malevolence, unlike anything I've ever encountered. If one is wounded by it, unless they've transcended Yin and Yang, they will likely meet a mortal doom."

Scholar Zhu felt his heart tremble with fear, worried that even touching the sword might scatter his soul, hurriedly fleeing into another small temple.

Seeing this, Chen Shi was also concerned that if the sword followed him too closely, in the midst of battle, an accidental touch might bring about his demise.

Moreover, with such an ominous sword, even if he avoids it, should it touch Black Pot or the wooden cart, their fate might be doom and gloom as well.

Chen Shi cautiously grasped the sword's hilt. As the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword landed in his hand, he immediately felt a surge of overwhelming blood energy flooding his being, accompanied by wailing demon sounds and the lamentations of immortals, utterly mournful!

"Blood Lake Hell! Trying to lure me to exhibit the Blood Lake Scripture? Keep dreaming!"

Chen Shi snorted and instantly initiated the Yin Yang Change, refining the Yin Yang Qi encircling the Blood Transformation Divine Saber.

This Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi, left by some unknown entity, formed the core of this sword, so much so that with just a cut, even breaking the skin, the recipient would be subsumed, transforming both physical body and primordial spirit into nourishment for the Blood Sea Hell. Little Dun Fairy said facing this sword, leaping out of Yin and Yang was the only guarantee of life, which was no exaggeration.

Yet with a mere touch, Chen Shi immediately discovered that the Yin Yang Qi surrounding the sword, though seemingly meager, was extraordinarily rich, far from as straightforward as it appeared.

"Perhaps refining the Yin Yang Qi would allow me to subdue this sword."

Chen Shi mused deeply, shouted, "Black Pot, you lead the way; I need to focus on refining this sword and cannot be distracted!"

Black Pot acknowledged, and Chen Shi promptly sat inside the cart, placed a cushion, and placed the Blood Transformation Divine Saber on the divine shrine of the small temple.

Upon seeing this, Little Dun Fairy immediately flew out from the small temple and went to another one, settling herself upon its divine shrine.

Scholar Zhu nodded slightly to her, and Little Dun Fairy returned the courtesy with a slight bow.

In his heart, Scholar Zhu thought, "This disciple's wife of mine appears cold, but that's not truly her nature. She might just not be adept at social interactions, hence appearing somewhat aloof."

Chen Shi offered several sticks of incense to the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, and the incense smoke swirled, drifting toward the divine sword consecrated on the shrine.

He then activated his primordial spirit, channeling his own Yin Yang Qi, connecting with the sun and moon of the Blood Transformation Divine Saber!

The moment his Yin Yang Qi made contact with the sword's, Chen Shi's vision turned blood-red, and glancing around, he beheld a vast ocean composed entirely of blood, endlessly stretching beyond sight.

The Blood Sea roared up, and a gigantic immortal head issued a piercing scream, slowly rising from the sea, hair disheveled, terrifying, precisely the immortal head Chen Shi had slashed to death in the Upper Realm.

Yet the immortal head, refined by Blood Sea Hell, posed no threat to him.

This vast Blood Sea Hell, forged from immortal blood, was as expansive as the Eighteen Layers of Hell,

In the sky, the Yin Yang Qi transformed into the sun and moon, spinning incessantly, clashing and entangling, churning, while between the two a gleam faintly shimmered, elusive and indistinct.

That was the true form of the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword.

Chen Shi leaped into the air, floating before the great sun and bright moon, drawing his own Yin Yang Qi into the sun and the moon.

"In the past, I couldn't tame you because my understanding of Yin Yang Qi was inferior to that of this sword, but now that I've grasped the Yin Yang Change, let's see whether you control me, or I control you!"

He exerted all his efforts mobilizing the Yin Yang Qi, striving to command the sun and moon encircling the blade.

Meanwhile, outside, a sudden flash of light burst across the sky, like a meteor streaking through the night, far brighter than the sun. Black Pot looked up, heart stirring, quickly revealing the true form of Huo Dou, transforming into a giant beast, its tail curling around the wooden cart, placing it on its back.

The wooden cart quickly sprouted arms, clinging tightly to the fur on its back.

The Black Pot immediately started running, chasing after the brilliant light.

It was a massive creature, and now with its yin and yang indistinct, its strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, managing to chase the light for tens of thousands of miles.

The light flew from the Upper Realm, and it must be an Immortal Artifact, thus it pursued relentlessly.

As it got closer, it could see that the light was a silver, bi-pointed object, from afar resembling a willow leaf, or a silver fish, appearing hollow with no external patterns, like a shuttle used for weaving.

The Black Pot sped up its pursuit, its speed growing ever faster, while the silver shuttle's speed gradually slowed.

Suddenly, the silver shuttle unfolded, and a corpse fell out, who knows from which patriarch of the Thirteen Families, having been slain by the Immortal from Despair Slope.

This person hadn't died at the time, managed to escape using the speed of the silver shuttle but unexpectedly died within it.

The silver shuttle circled the corpse several times, seemingly mourning its master's death. The Black Pot rushed over, spewing a mouthful of Demon Fire, attempting to refine the silver shuttle.

Yet the silver shuttle showed no signs of being refined in the Demon Fire, suddenly with a whoosh, it shot out of the fire, the Black Pot hastily shrunk its body, ducking its head to dodge, narrowly having its ear grazed by the shuttle, which almost pierced it.

The silver shuttle missed its strike and immediately flew towards it again.

The Black Pot shook itself, causing a wooden cart to fall down, which produced clouds beneath its wheels, floating in the air.

Standing upright, the Black Pot charged towards the silver shuttle, reaching out to grasp, the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler flew out of the wooden cart, landing in its hand.

The Circulation Fire Realm erupted, and the Black Pot swung the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler in a sweeping arc, smashing it down onto the silver shuttle!

This silver shuttle is known as the Taiyin Demon Extinguishing Shuttle, a Demon Refining Treasure among Immortal Artifacts, brought by a Taoist from the Huaxia Divine Continent. The so-called Demon Extinguishing means to expel Demon Qi, demons, this treasure is perceptive, detecting the Demon Qi on the Black Pot, immediately driven by instinct, trying to eradicate it.

Now without a master, it acts entirely on instinct.

The Taiyin Demon Extinguishing Shuttle dodged the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler, ready to pierce under the Black Pot's flank, which grinned, as the other end of the ruler swiped precisely at the Taiyin Demon Extinguishing Shuttle.

"Dang!"

The Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler was incomparably heavy, and this strike bent the Taiyin Demon Extinguishing Shuttle downwards before it again swelled up, bursting with a glowing light, about to escape.

The Black Pot slammed down again, the light flickered chaotically, the Taiyin Demon Extinguishing Shuttle shuddering continuously, breaking through the air.

The Black Pot chased after, swinging the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler down once more, with a loud clang, causing the Taiyin Demon Extinguishing Shuttle to wobble unsteadily.

The Black Pot pursued all the way, smashing down continuously, with loud clangs, hitting over a hundred times.

When it leaped high and smashed down once more, the Taiyin Demon Extinguishing Shuttle finally couldn't withstand it, with a crash, it cracked open, splitting from the Demon Extinguishing Shuttle into ninety-nine soft swords.

These soft swords were pointed at both ends and wide in the middle with no hilt.

It seemed these strangely shaped soft swords when combined formed the shape of the Demon Extinguishing Shuttle.

The Black Pot raised the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler, about to smash down again, when suddenly from the ninety-nine soft swords incense fire qi emerged, forming a patch of green clouds, from which a little girl with two small buns on her head plopped onto the green cloud, raising her hands, pressing them together, repeatedly bowing in supplication to it.

The Black Pot lowered the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler, scratching its head.

Ten days later, Chen Shi finally refined the Yin Yang Qi within the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword, awakening from meditation.

He held the sword in his hand, slowly urging the Blood Lake Scripture, only to hear a hum as the blood qi within the Blood Transformation Divine Saber surged forth, quickly forming a Blood Sea Hell behind him.

The Blood Sea Hell stood inverted, was incomparably heavy, yet its overwhelming qi-blood made Chen Shi's mana soar, instantly raising his cultivation from the Unification Realm to the Mahayana Realm!

At the same time, the demonic nature within the Blood Transformation Divine Saber advanced rapidly, attempting to take control of Chen Shi.

Chen Shi immediately urged the Yin Yang Qi outside the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, the Sun and Moon circling the sword blade, spinning endlessly, barely resisting the sword's ferocity, though only just.

Chen Shi's body trembled, feeling that controlling the sword was still extremely difficult, but fortunately, this time he held the dominant position, rather than being overpowered by the sword.

Given some time, as his cultivation gradually deepened, he would slowly grasp the sword, without worrying about being countered by the Demon Sword.

He gradually dispelled the Blood Lake Scripture, watching as the Blood Sea Hell behind him swiftly flowed back into the sword, with the demonic nature also gradually diminishing.

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, his heart filled with immense joy, just then, seeing around the Black Pot were many soft swords, flying around it like silver fish.

"Black Pot, what is this?"

Chen Shi was astonished, hurriedly asking.

The Black Pot displayed a sense of pride, suddenly leaping up into the air, swish swish swish, the silver bright soft swords flew, revolving rapidly around it to form a silver flying shuttle, breaking through the sky, disappearing without a trace, its speed was astonishing.

Suddenly, with another swish, the silver shuttle flew back, coming to an abrupt stop.

The silver shuttle reverted to a series of soft swords, continuing to fly around the Black Pot.

"This flying shuttle, is it an Immortal Artifact?"

Chen Shi's eyes widened in disbelief, speaking out, "Black Pot, how did you subdue it?"

He had a hard time subduing the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, going through such a difficult intense training for more than ten days, barely managing to control it. To think that in such a short time, the dog had managed to subdue an Immortal Artifact!

The Black Pot picked up the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler, mimicking a vigorous striking motion.

"It worked like that?"

Chen Shi stood in a daze, glancing at the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler, then at the Blood Transformation Divine Saber.
