Chapter 1038: 1020 Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword_1
"Xuan Wu Tian Zun!" Chu Qin then looked toward Xuan Wu Tian Zun.
"Lord Chu Qin, what are your orders!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun immediately responded.
"You should still have a weapon left by the Dragon Sovereign in your possession, right?" Chu Qin asked with a smile. Regardless, he had to obtain the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword one way or another. Firstly, it was a mission from the Goddess, and secondly, it definitely was a heaven-defying Divine Artifact. There was no reason for Chu Qin not to take it!
"Are, Are you referring to the Dragon Sovereign's Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun instantly realized.
"You little rascal, you're indeed eyeing my Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword!" The voice of the Blood Dragon Venerable sounded.
"Venerable Dragon Predecessor, you can't use it anyway, better to give it to me!" Chu Qin said with a slight smile. He knew that the Blood Dragon Venerable wouldn't mind.
"Hahaha, that makes sense!" Blood Dragon Venerable laughed, "Having resided in your body for so long, it's only right to give you something, or else I would feel uneasy."
"Exactly!" Upon receiving the Blood Dragon Venerable's thoughts, Chu Qin nodded to Xuan Wu Tian Zun, "Where is it, take me there!"
"Sure, this old servant will take you there now!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun said with a smile.
"Long Xue, you come along too!" Chu Qin then turned to Long Xue.
"Yes, Lord Chu Qin!" Long Xue nodded gently.
Just now, the Dragon Venerable had said that he wanted Chu Qin to pass on a peerless technique to her!
Following that, as soon as Xuan Wu Tian Zun tapped his staff lightly, an unfathomably powerful force was released, and everyone vanished from the spot!
The next second, they arrived at the entrance of an ice cave.
From within the ice cave, a tangible cold air attacked them!
Chu Qin was slightly stunned; it was his first time witnessing the power of Xuan Wu Tian Zun. It was anything but ordinary, far surpassing the might of the Earth Extreme Imperial Sovereign.
Indeed, the gap between the Earth Extreme Imperial Sovereign and the Supreme Heavenly Sovereign was so vast, it could be said to surpass all the realms that lie between an ordinary person and an Earth Extreme Imperial Sovereign!
While Earth Extreme Imperial Sovereigns were rare, throughout the eons of the Infinite Heavens, there would be those who advanced to Earth Extreme Imperial Sovereign status.
And over so many epochs, though Earth Extreme Imperial Sovereigns from the Infinite Heavens were as rare as phoenix feathers and Qilin horns, there definitely were a certain number.
However, since the birth of the Infinite Heavens, the number of Venerates of Heavens that had emerged through ancient and modern times can be counted on two hands!
Advancing to Venerate of Heavens was certainly not something that could solely be accumulated over time.
Upon merely arriving at the entrance of the ice cave, everyone felt an intense bone-chilling cold.
This was unusual.
Everyone was immune to temperature changes!
Not only were Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, Zi Ji, and Yun Yun affected, but even Qing Yu, Ya Yue, and those of the World Tree who were Royal Venerates felt the piercing cold.
Chu Qin also felt a chill.
"What place is this? Why is it so cold?" Ye Lingling, while hugging Chu Qin's arm, shivered and asked,
"I have never seen such a cold place!" Jiu Yin said, "Could this be the legendary Xuanhan Jidong (Mysterious Cold Extreme Cave)?"
"Correct!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun said, "The temperature of Xuanhan Jidong claims the utmost coldness in this world. Unless one reaches the status of Earth Extreme Imperial Sovereign, it's very difficult to endure the cold within. Only here can we suppress the temperature of the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword!"
Xuan Wu Tian Zun said and pointed ahead, "Lord Chu Qin, the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword is inside. Your women most likely won't be able to enter. Only you and Xue'er can follow me inside!"
"Then you all wait for me outside!" Chu Qin looked at the women with a smile.
"Or, Chu Qin, let Elder Longgu take us to our lodging first!" Azure Dragon spoke up.
"You're not waiting for me?" Chu Qin said, smiling with a raised eyebrow.
"Based on past experiences, things may not be so simple!" Phoenix smiled wryly, her gaze unintentionally drifting toward Long Xue.
"Alright then, Elder Longgu, I'll trouble you with this!" Chu Qin turned to Elder Longgu.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all!" Elder Longgu immediately replied. Even Xuan Wu Tian Zun has been so deferential to Chu Qin, it was clear that Chu Qin's reputation had become unimaginably grand!
Luckily, he had apologized to Chu Qin early on.
Now that Chu Qin had asked him for a favor, he was naturally very willing!
With that, Chu Qin followed Xuan Wu Tian Zun and Long Xue into the Xuanhan Jidong, while the women went to their lodging.
Just as Xuan Wu Tian Zun had said, the deeper into the Xuanhan Jidong, the lower the temperature became. However, for Chu Qin, whose soul had been tempered by Blood Dragon Flame, this was still bearable.
"Lord Chu Qin, look, that is the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun pointed and said, indicating the deepest part of the Xuanhan Jidong.
There, a blood-colored longsword was embedded, its blade emitting a cold and forbidding light, exuding a faint, blood-red aura.
Surprisingly, near the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword, the Han Bing that could freeze an Earth Extreme Imperial Sovereign, dared not approach the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword!
Moreover, Chu Qin noticed that from the upper end of the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword, some dragon blood was slowly flowing toward the blade, nourishing the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword!
"Is this place beneath the sea of Blood Dragon Flame?" Chu Qin inquired.
"Yes, Lord Chu Qin is correct," Xuan Wu Tian Zun replied with a smile, "The Dragon Sovereign Divine Sword requires the nourishment of the Dragon Sovereign Bloodline! Only you who possess one hundred percent of the Dragon Sovereign Bloodline, or the Dragon Venerable himself, can pull out the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword!"
"Alright, I understand!" Chu Qin said with a serene smile, looking towards Long Xue.
Chu Qin was honest; he aimed to draw the sword for Long Xue.
Long Xue noticed Chu Qin's gaze and her face flushed ever so slightly.
Chu Qin, however, simply smiled confidently and teleported in front of the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword.
Suddenly, Chu Qin's hand reached for the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword!
However, what Chu Qin had not anticipated happened. Before his palm even touched the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword, he felt an intense burning sensation on his palm!
Immediately after, the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword erupted with formidable power, repelling Chu Qin!
"Huh?" Chu Qin, Xuan Wu Tian Zun, and Long Xue were all shocked.
"Venerable Xuan Wu, why is this happening?" Long Xue asked.
"I don't know, it shouldn't be like this!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun shook his head. Meanwhile, Chu Qin was already making another attempt. His palm shone with Buddha light and, driven by the Ancient Buddha Overlord Body, he continued to reach for the hilt of the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword!
However, even so, the power released from within the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword pierced straight through Chu Qin's Divine Power and repelled him once more!
"Chu Qin, I forgot to tell you." The voice of Blood Dragon Venerable spoke up, "The Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword is a ferocious weapon. With your current strength, you must offer your own essence blood as a sacrifice to wield the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword. The more essence blood you sacrifice, the stronger the power of the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword will be!"
"Offer my essence blood as a sacrifice? Would that not be harming myself greatly even as I defeat the enemy!" Chu Qin said, briefly taken aback.
"Indeed, and also, the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword requires constant nourishment from my bloodline, so unless it's absolutely necessary, or your strength is sufficient, do not lightly attempt to pull out the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword!" the Blood Dragon Venerable replied. "Especially the first time. If you are not careful, it could drain all of your essence blood!"
"Is that so?" Chu Qin was once again taken aback. Constant nourishment with blood.
This was a bit too chilling!
A moment of carelessness, and his blood could be completely drained!
And the first time was very risky!
"Exactly, so the best way to use it is to leave the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword right here, drop a bit of your blood onto it, and after the sword recognizes its master, you can summon it from afar whenever you need it!" Blood Dragon Venerable advised.
Chu Qin paused for a moment.
The System's mission was to have him pull out the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword to win Long Xue's favor, but Chu Qin knew that, in fact, as long as Long Xue fell willingly in love with him, it would also count as completing the mission, right?
Earning Long Xue's love would suffice, there was no need to pull out the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword!
Actually, along the way, many women had willingly fallen in love with Chu Qin, and he was quite confident in his own charm.
"Alright, I'll try!" Chu Qin said with a smile. When he said he would try, he naturally meant not relying on the System's favorability, but to earn Long Xue's true love!
Thus, Chu Qin pricked his finger, and a drop of fresh blood flew into the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword.
In an instant, as Chu Qin's blood entered, the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword began to tremble violently.
Quickly, the trembling ceased, as if nothing had happened at all.
However, Chu Qin could clearly see a mark of the Blood Dragon Venerable forming in his palm!
This meant that the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword had recognized its master, and he could summon it at a crucial moment if needed!
Thinking this, Chu Qin revealed a faint smile.
He turned around, looking at Long Xue and Xuan Wu Tian Zun, "Long Xue, Venerable Xuan Wu, let's go!"
