<h4>Chapter 1342: Chapter 1339: Holy Artifact</h4>


    The dragon soul sighed in relief.


    Although it didn’t know who created the Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique.


    But with Gutong’s words.


    Who could make Xu Wendong a human-shaped cauldron?


    Time slowly passed.


    Xu Wendong calmly sat on the ground, smelting the bronze tombstone within his Sea of Consciousness.


    The bronze tombstone was like a piece of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice.


    Even though Xu Wendong had dripped blood to acknowledge it as his master, it was still difficult to melt it in a short time.


    This was definitely the most difficult object he had ever encountered in his life to refine.


    Time flew by.


    In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.


    Xu Wendong opened his eyes full of frustration, helplessly saying: "Senior, although I’ve already absorbed the bronze tombstone, I simply cannot refine it in a short time."


    Gutong said: "The bronze tombstone was forged by several saints working together; being able to absorb it with your current cultivation level is already extraordinary. As for thoroughly refining it, I fear it will take decades."


    Xu Wendong couldn’t help but ask: "And during those decades, can we still seal the Otherworldly Demon?"


    Gutong smiled: "This Otherworldly Demon has been sealed by me for millions of years and has long fallen into slumber; it won’t awaken any time soon."


    Xu Wendong nodded slightly.


    Gutong was able to ughter his way to the demons’ir and capture the leader of the Other Races, showcasing his strength far exceeding that Otherworldly Demon.


    Now he sacrificed his own life to seal this demon.


    This Otherworldly Demon must have paid a terrible price.


    "Young friend, my soul is about to vanish," Gutong said: "Before I disappear, I have something I want to give to you." As he finished speaking, he opened his right hand, and a white longsword appeared in the palm.


    The longsword was about seventy centimeters long, seemingly meticulously carved from white jade, with a smooth de that glowed faintly.


    Upon the appearance of the sword.


    Xu Wendong clearly felt a powerful aura rushing toward him.


    Even though his physical body was strong, he felt as though his body was about to copse under this powerful aura.


    "A Holy Artifact?"


    Seeing the void trembling, the dragon soul couldn’t help but gasp.


    It was knowledgeable and recognized the extraordinary nature of this longsword.


    Gutong lookedplexly at the sword in his hand, murmuring: "This sword was formed by ritesmithing my leg bone, and in terms of grade, it far surpasses a Holy Artifact!"


    Boom!


    Xu Wendong felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, never expecting this longsword to be made from Gutong’s leg bone.


    "Senior, when one dies, one’s light is extinguished; why did you have to ritesmith your bones into a divine weapon?" Xu Wendong couldn’t help but sigh, feeling very heavy-hearted.


    Gutong said: "Even in death, I want to leave something in the mortal world."


    "ept it, this sword can help you better suppress the Otherworldly Demon."


    "Consider it a cross-time battle between us two Ancient Sacred Bodies!"


    Xu Wendong solemnly nodded, extending his hands to receive the bone sword, then dripped blood to acknowledge it as his master, making it a part of his body.


    "Remember, this sword is only to be used to suppress the demon, not to be shown to others," Gutong advised seriously.


    He had already died for millions of years.


    If the bone sword appeared in reality, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    Great figures might deduce heavenly mechanisms.


    That was something he didn’t want to see.


    "Also," Gutong continued: "You are not alone in fighting the demon."


    "Once youpletely refine the bronze tombstone, you will have new discoveries."


    "At that time, the cultivators who gained opportunities in the Yuantian Secret Realm will follow yourmand."


    Xu Wendong asked: "Are there many people?"


    Gutong nodded slightly: "The Yuantian Secret Realm has existed for millions of years, appearing every hundred years, and each time thousands gain opportunities and treasures here."


    "They have already unknowingly signed soul oaths with the Bronze Ancient Hall."


    "Only but···"


    "I estimate many might have already ascended to the Immortal Realm!"


    Upon saying this, he smiled at Xu Wendong: "Young friend, all banquets in the world muste to an end; we part here!"


    Xu Wendong’s eyes wereplex, and he immediately bowed: "Senior, farewell!"


    The dragon soul also bowed down, sending Gutong on his final journey.


    Gutong’s figure became transparent, ultimately transforming into a blood-colored rune, merging into Xu Wendong’s Dantian.


    For this, Xu Wendong remainedpletely unaware.


    "I really didn’t expect Senior Gutong to fall here, he wasn’t the kind of person who would crave life and fear death!" The dragon soul’s voice sounded, revealing a hint ofplex emotion.


    Xu Wendong looked at the dragon soul with confusion: "Why do you say that?"


    The dragon soul coiled atop a stone table, gazed at the sky, and recollected: "That battle back then was extremely fierce, even alerting several saints."


    "But, Senior Gutong never showed up for a long time, so many people used him of being a coward afraid to die."


    "ming him for staying out of the peril faced by the Three Realms."


    "Yet who would have thought, not only did he not stand idly by, but even millions of years ago, he entered the fray with his life, using his own to seal the Otherworldly Demon’s leader?"


    "The gods misunderstood him too deeply!" Upon saying this, he couldn’t help but sigh.


    Xu Wendong, however, held a different view: "How could Senior Gutong mind others’ opinions and words?"


    The dragon soul remained silent.


    "Lord Long, what exactly happened back then? Why did Other Races invade the Three Realms? How was the Three Realms so easily broken through?" Xu Wendong curiously looked at the dragon soul, eager to know what happened back then.


    The dragon soul angrily said: "The Three Realms had arrays set by Ancient Saints, impregnable, naturally not easily breached, but···"


    "There were traitors within the Three Realms, it was them who opened the arrays, otherwise how could the Other Races invade the Three Realms?" Speaking this, his voice revealed uncontroble anger.


    Xu Wendong’s heart trembled fiercely, and he immediately said: "The traitor able to open arrays set by Ancient Saints shouldn’t be an ordinary person, right?"


    The dragon soul furiously said: "Besides those bald donkeys from the Western World, who else could it be?"


    Xu Wendong couldn’t help but furrow his brows: "The traitor was a cultivator from the Western Paradise World?"


    The dragon soul grunted in affirmation, saying: "That old Buddha, always talking about equality among all beings, kept saying that for the Three Realms to develop better, it needed to interact with Other Races’ civilizations."


    "Although some opposed, believing Other Races might harm the creatures of the Three Realms, that old Buddha stubbornly insisted the Other Races were kind-hearted and wouldn’t endanger the Three Realms’ creatures."


    "Thus, ignoring the gods’ opposition, he forcibly opened the arrays."


    "Once the arrays opened, the Other Races flooded in, invaded massively, ughtered our kind, and upied our beautiful rivers and mountains."


    "Seeing this, that old Buddha immediately retreated with the Western Buddhist Sect’s bald donkeys to the Western Pure Land, choosing to stand aside,pletely forgetting that this all started because of him!"


    "He is the sinner of the Three Realms!"
