Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 740 - 739: Divine Artifact City

Divine Artifact City.

This was a towering city of steel.

The entire city wall, apart from the powerful formation enchantments, was cast from incomparably hard steel, making it extremely formidable.

And in front of this colossal city gate, a woman of breathtaking beauty was swiftly approaching.

If Xu Ping’an were here, he would definitely recognize this person as none other than Gongsun Yao.

"Saintess, this is the place, the Nine Heavens Divine Fire is in this Divine Artifact City. However, the people from the Divine Artifact Alliance treat the Divine Fire as a treasure and won’t easily allow outsiders to use it," a middle-aged man of the Eleventh Rank strength spoke, his expression toward Gongsun Yao filled with reverence.

"There is no other choice at the moment. The Nine Heavens Divine Fire is the Supreme Yang Flame. Although its effects are not as good as the Chaotic True Fire, it is still an extremely powerful flame. Only it can help me suppress the Divine Fire," Gongsun Yao said.

Her eyes were filled with seriousness.

The poison within her was becoming more and more difficult to suppress.

What used to erupt once a month was now happening every five days.

Once it flared up, a chilling cold would sweep through her entire body, and even her soul would show signs of being frozen.

The torture of the terrible poison was almost driving her insane.

Now, she must find a way to suppress this pain, otherwise even if the poison did not take her life, she would be driven mad by it.

Originally, Xu Ping’an’s Chaotic Flame was the best solution to her poison, but unfortunately, Xu Ping’an had died on Purple Cloud Mountain, so now she could only pin her hopes on the Nine Heavens Divine Fire in this Divine Artifact City.

However, obtaining the Divine Fire was not an easy task.

How would the Divine Artifact Alliance treat the Divine Fire as a treasure and simply allow her to use it?

But without any other solution, she could only come here and try.

The Divine Artifact Alliance was a transcendent force in the Jade Immortal Realm, composed entirely of Artifact Refiners.

They could be considered as the fourth major force in the Jade Immortal Realm, not even slightly inferior to the top three forces.

Yet, because they focused solely on artifact refining and did not engage in conflict, people in the Jade Immortal Realm tended to overlook them when talking about powers.

Nonetheless, the influence of the Refining Alliance in some respects even surpassed that of the Immortal Hall, so even though Gongsun Yao was the Saintess of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion, she did not dare to act recklessly in Divine Artifact City.

Soon, Gongsun Yao and the middle-aged man entered the city together.

Upon entering the city, Gongsun Yao found Divine Artifact City to be exceptionally bustling, filled with the hum of people, and even the number of powerful figures was much greater than usual.

"Uncle Duan, why are there so many people? Is there something happening in Divine Artifact City?" Gongsun Yao asked in surprise.

"Saintess, today the Divine Artifact Alliance is holding a grand Artifact Refining Competition to select outstanding Artifact Refiners. It is said that the winner of the competition will not only receive a substantial reward but also the qualification to use the Divine Fire," Duan Yun replied.

"The Refining Alliance competition, that’s great. This could be a chance. I’m also proficient in artifact refining; I want to participate," Gongsun Yao said excitedly.

This might be a good opportunity.

She was fond of artifact refining and had considerable talent in it.

At present, she was capable of refining High Grade Immortal Artifacts.

In her generation, this already made her stand out.

"Hmm, the Saintess indeed has a substantial understanding of artifact refining and is certain to achieve good results. However, if the Saintess wishes to emerge as the champion, it might be quite difficult," Duan Yun said.

"Why? Are there going to be some formidable Artifact Refiners participating?" Gongsun Yao asked gravely.

"I’ve heard that this Refining Alliance competition is exceptionally grand, and the rewards are extremely generous, seeming to involve the legacy of the Artifact Divine Sect in the Divine Realm. Many artifact refining talents from the Jade Immoral Realm have come here, and even talents from the other three major Spirit Realms have arrived," Duan Yun explained.

"Artifact Divine Sect? The legendary number one artifact refining sect of the Divine Realm? If that’s indeed the case, the difficulty of this Refining Alliance competition is going to be much greater than I had expected," Gongsun Yao said solemnly.

"Yes, the difficulty is considerable. From what I’ve gathered, there are no less than ten people who can already refine Superior Grade Immortal Artifacts, and there’s even a genius who can craft Semi-Divine Artifacts," Duan Yun said.

"That’s outrageous. Damn it, then it’s almost impossible for me to obtain Divine Fire. However, there’s no other way. Even if I can’t win first place in this competition, I still want to try. Perhaps I can convince the winner to let me use their chance to wield the Divine Fire," Gongsun Yao said.

Duan Yun nodded, "I’ll take Saintess to register now."

Gongsun Yao nodded, then followed Duan Yun towards the direction of the Refining Alliance.

While Gongsun Yao was on her way to the Refining Alliance, outside Divine Artifact City, at this moment, four figures approached.

The leader was a young man, followed by a beautiful woman in a white dress and two young male servants.

The young servants, one with golden hair and golden eyes and the other with red hair and red eyes, did not seem like humans.

Indeed, it was Xu Ping’an, and the beautiful woman was Yin Xue.

As for the golden-haired and golden-eyed youth, he was the Golden Edge Mantis, and the red-haired and red-eyed was the Savage Ape King.

"Master, this is Divine Artifact City. It’s said that the Divine Artifact Alliance in the city has an extremely powerful Divine Fire named Nine Heavens Divine Fire, which can enhance the grade of your Chaotic True Fire," Yin Xue said.

"Nine Heavens Divine Fire? The legendary Supreme Yang Flame, that indeed sounds like a good Divine Fire. It can truly enhance my Chaotic True Fire and bring substantial benefits," Xu Ping’an muttered in his heart.

However, he also knew that acquiring the Nine Heavens Divine Fire would not be an easy task.

"Right, Master, I’ve also learned that there’s an artifact refining competition held by Divine Artifact City. They say the winner will have the chance to wield the Divine Fire and gain the inheritance of the Artifact Divine Sect," Yin Xue said.

"Artifact Divine Sect, the legendary number one artifact sect?" Xu Ping’an was inwardly shocked.

As an Artifact Refiner, he could not possibly have not heard of the Artifact Divine Sect.

In his past life, he had also sought the inheritance of the Artifact Divine Sect but to no avail.

He had long yearned for the inheritance of the Artifact Divine Sect.

"Interesting. I do want to see what this competition is all about. Let’s go and register," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Is Master planning to go in this appearance? I fear that there are many from the three major forces among them. Once they recognize you, it could lead to considerable trouble," Yin Xue said.

Xu Ping’an nodded, feeling that Yin Xue was right.

Being able to leave Purple Cloud Mountain would surely raise suspicions among many people.

He did not want to invite trouble right now, so it was best to keep a low profile beforehand.

"Buzz!"

Xu Ping’an transformed in an instant, taking on the appearance of an ordinary-looking young man.

"From now on, I am Qin Feng. Let’s go register," Xu Ping’an said.

"Yes, Master," Yin Xue replied with a smile.

Jin and the Savage Ape King naturally had no objections and silently followed along.

"Tsch, now anyone and their dog can register for the Refining Alliance competition. The Refining Alliance really should set a standard," someone scoffed.

However, just as Xu Ping’an was about to enter the city, a disdainful voice suddenly came from a distance.

Xu Ping’an turned to look and saw a young man in a crimson robe emblazoned with flames, looking at him with deep contempt in his eyes.

The young man was proud and quite handsome, dressed in brocade and jade robes, which indicated he was probably of no low status.

His cultivation was not low either, having reached the Tenth Rank of Sixth Layer Realm.

However, the elder accompanying him was a strong figure at the Eleventh Rank Peak level.
