You want the furnace in my hand?

Chu Dingqian’s heart skipped a beat.

He did not know how Li Feiyu had seen it, and Chu Dingqian’s first thought was to take action and kill this Li Feiyu.

This furnace was a treasure, something Chu Dingqian had obtained in a relic when he was young in his first lifetime, and it played a significant role in his rapid cultivation to the True Martial Realm.

In ancient times, there was the Supreme Life Nurturing Furnace, a Supreme Grade Divine Weapon of unparalleled might. The heavens and the earth trembled for it, and the stars shattered, reversing the universe and eclipsing the sun and moon when it was activated, shattering mountains and rivers within billions of miles.

There were two replicas of the Life-Prolonging Furnace, made by powerful beings from ancient times. They were failed products, only of Heaven Rank Supreme Grade Magical Treasures, one was the Body-Cultivating Furnace and the other was the Soul-Cultivating Furnace.

The furnace Chu Dingqian held was the Soul-Cultivating Furnace. Although it was just a replica of the Life-Prolonging Furnace, its might and efficacy were indeed immense for Chu Dingqian, and it could still be used even after he advanced to the Divine Yuan Realm and became Emperor Wu.

For three thousand years, Chu Dingqian had been collecting information about the Body-Cultivating Furnace, hoping to acquire the other replica of the Life-Prolonging Furnace. It was said that the Soul-Cultivating Furnace and the Body-Cultivating Furnace would greatly resonate within a certain range, sensing each other’s exact location.

Chu Dingqian also knew another legend about the Life-Prolonging Furnace: the powerful ancient being only made one replica of the Life-Prolonging Furnace that reached the Lower Grade Divine Weapon level, but he seemed dissatisfied, so he split the Lower Grade Divine Weapon into two, creating the Soul-Cultivating Furnace and the Body-Cultivating Furnace.

Should a cultivator obtain both the Body-Cultivating Furnace and the Soul-Cultivating Furnace and use the correct method, it was possible to recombine the two furnaces into a Lower Grade Divine Weapon.

The lone Soul-Cultivating Furnace, being of the Heaven Rank and Supreme Grade, had such great power and efficacy. If combined into one to become a Lower Grade Divine Weapon, its might would undoubtedly increase manyfold, and it might even help one cultivate to the Divine Yuan Realm.

Chu Dingqian knew that the Canghai Sect possessed the Body-Cultivating Furnace, which was only of Heaven Rank Lower Grade. He had once brought the Soul-Cultivating Furnace and sneaked into the Canghai Sect to investigate. Although there was a slight resonance between the two, they could not merge into one.

He speculated that it might have been sealed. He tried various methods to unseal it, but to no effect.

In the end, Chu Dingqian disappointingly discovered that the Body-Cultivating Furnace of the Canghai Sect was merely an imitation of the true Body-Cultivating Furnace, which was why there was only a slight resonance.

Considering certain reasons, Chu Dingqian did not seize the Canghai Sect’s Body-Cultivating Furnace at that time.

The Soul-Cultivating Furnace was the only Heaven Rank Supreme Grade Magical Treasure owned by the Daqian Empire and Chu Dingqian himself. Li Feiyu called him out for a meeting, and Chu Dingqian directly brought along the Soul-Cultivating Furnace. In the event of a great battle, the Soul-Cultivating Furnace could definitely kill enemies.

With his cultivation, even an Emperor Wu in the later stages of True Martial Realm couldn’t withstand the power of the Soul-Cultivating Furnace. This was Chu Dingqian’s biggest trump card.

With the Soul-Cultivating Furnace, he could traverse the Xuan Domain, of which there weren’t even three Emperors Wu in the later stages of the True Martial Realm.

“Bang~ Bang~”

The sound of Han Li knocking on the table came through, awakening Chu Dingqian, who immediately gathered his myriad thoughts.

Looking at the smiling, yet not smiling, Li Feiyu, Chu Dingqian forcefully suppressed the killing intent in his heart, deciding to test the waters. If Li Feiyu didn’t know the origin of the furnace and just felt it was a powerful Magical Treasure, then he could replace it with other Magical Treasures.

Chu Dingqian quickly organized his words and said, “Fellow Daoist Li, this is but a trifle, a favorite plaything of mine, rather dear to me, truly difficult to part with.”

Chu Dingqian did not want to take action; he had come to seek Li Feiyu’s help, hoping he would defend the Daqian Empire and protect it for hundreds of years, so he himself could safely grow stronger.

If he killed Li Feiyu, where would he find another Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm to guard the Qian Dynasty?

Moreover, Li Feiyu appeared very confident and complacent. Chu Dingqian also wasn’t entirely sure that he could kill him.

If Li Feiyu escaped, that would truly be a deadly feud. Even if he found another Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm to guard the dynasty later, once he seized a new body and was reborn, that Li Feiyu would certainly seek vengeance.

“What a coincidence, Fellow Li also enjoys playing with furnaces on a usual basis, so upon seeing it, I instantly took a liking to it. I hope Fellow Chu can bear the pain of parting with it.”

Han Li smiled broadly, while reiterating, “As long as Fellow Chu is willing to part with this furnace and gift it to me, I will immediately form an alliance with Fellow Chu and protect the Qian Dynasty for four hundred years.”

Han Li naturally noticed that Chu Zhenxiong was reluctant to part with it. Even though Chu Zhenxiong’s murderous intent was deeply hidden, Han Li sensed it. He remained vigilant, ready to act first and flee, should Chu Zhenxiong decide to take action; there was no need to fight to the death.

When Chu Zhenxiong arrived, Han Li’s senses kept frantically warning him that Chu Zhenxiong had something capable of threatening him in his hand.

Han Li quietly activated his Divine Sense and eventually detected the source of the threat. It turned out to be the right hand Chu Zhenxiong kept behind his back, holding a small furnace inscribed with runes, in a state of activation but without exposing a breath of it.

If not for his extremely keen senses, he wouldn’t have noticed at all. He was Han Li, “Han Laozu”, who had the Divine Sense.

Han Li had once collected information on Divine Sense and found only a few records of it, even rarer in ancient times.

The small furnace in Chu Zhenxiong’s hand looked familiar to Han Li. A flash of insight made him realize that it was most likely the Soul-Cultivating Furnace, its runes closely resembling those of the Body-Cultivating Furnace, but its might was countless times greater.

Possibly, the Body-Cultivating Furnace he placed in Chengsheng Mountain was a second-rate imitation, while the Soul-Cultivating Furnace in Chu Zhenxiong’s hands was a first-rate imitation.

The Soul-Cultivating Furnace was a Heaven Rank Supreme Grade Magical Treasure, and Han Li was naturally extremely tempted to acquire this treasure from Chu Zhenxiong’s hands.
