Chapter 1287 Rewarding the Golden Armor
Yunxi and Difei watched silently as the Xuanlei Purple Flame burned away the wisp of soul thread, and then they breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the sun was rising, and the golden sun seemed completely unaware of the great battle in the Ghost Realm the previous night.
Di Fei was not afraid of the sun, but she also disliked being bathed in sunlight. She pulled Yun Xi and slipped into the Bankun City below.
The city lord of Bankun City, Ghost Lord Yingzhu, is currently cleaning up the mess. The sacrificial array wheel was activated too abruptly last night. Although Ghost Emperor Meihuan protected them for five breaths, some weaker ghost immortals were still devoured by the array wheel.
They finally got the Ghost Lord Difei to come to their aid, but his strength was no match for the Ghost King. As a result, another group of immortals in the city were sucked into the sacrificial array. Fortunately, the array seemed to malfunction after the last quarter of an hour, giving them a chance to catch their breath.
Di Fei also took the opportunity to destroy the sacrificial array wheel. Later, Immortal Lord Ran Xi also came to help. The two of them worked together to destroy the sacrificial array wheel, giving them a chance to catch their breath.
Just as one wave subsided, another arose. This time, the purple-robed immortal who made the move was recognized by the City Lord Yingzhu. He seemed to be a high-level immortal who had come to the Ghost Realm for training and had visited her at the City Lord's Mansion before.
At this moment, she suspected that this person was the one who activated the sacrificial array in Bankun City. However, now was not the best time to investigate. She needed to first tally the casualties, comfort the immortals who had suffered an undeserved calamity, and also find out the evil immortals hiding in Bankun City. She did not believe that only one purple-robed male immortal had infiltrated Bankun City.
After a brief conversation with Yingzhu, Difei stopped interfering with the aftermath of the events in Bankun City. She had come here to destroy the sacrificial array wheel, and now that the mission was complete, she and Ranxi would simply wait in place.
Although they were supposed to stay put, neither of them let their guard down. Instead, they used their divine senses to explore the surrounding area from their airship, paying particular attention to whether the other seven array wheels had been destroyed, and preparing to provide support at any time.
Di Fei was surrounded by top-grade soul stones, and she was absorbing the soul power within them as quickly as possible to replenish the energy lost in the battle.
Yunxi took an eighth-grade Immortal Essence Pill. The pill, which melted in her mouth, traveled through her meridians and entered her dantian, slowly restoring her to her peak condition.
While Yunxi released her divine sense to be on guard, she pondered the reason why the Nine Shao Sect's clone had descended to the mortal realm. She did not think that activating the "Nine-Round Sacrifice Array" set up in the Ghost Realm was the other party's only mission, but now that the clone had been destroyed by her, she could not find out anything.
Yunxi and Difei stayed in the sky above Bankun City for five days. On the sixth day, Difei received a message from Baili Yanque, and the two then put away their immortal boat to meet the Ghost Emperor of the Demon Realm.
Yunxi and Difei were the last to arrive at the Ghost Emperor's Palace, and their arrival drew the attention of the other Ghost Kings in the hall.
Yunxi glanced at them. Apart from Baili Yanque and Yuekou, the other six Ghost Kings were all new to her. However, each of the six Ghost Kings was handsome in their own way and very pleasing to the eye.
Yunxi and Difei first bowed to the Ghost Emperor of the Demon Realm, and then bowed to the Ghost Kings present.
The Demon Emperor leaned lazily against his throne and said in a calm voice:
"You all did a great job this time. You broke the 'Nine-Round Sacrifice Array' set up by the evil immortals in the Ghost Realm and ruined their plan to open the Sea of Burial Gods. In particular, Di Fei and Ran Xi, because Qian Ji was absent, you two took on the responsibility of the Ghost King. You did not disappoint me."
Yunxi and Difei humbly cupped their hands and said:
"Exterminating evil immortals is the responsibility of all immortals; we were merely doing our duty."
A smile flickered in Mei Huan's phoenix eyes as she said:
"Those who have committed wrongdoings should be punished, and those who have rendered meritorious service should be rewarded. What do you want?"
Yunxi and Difei exchanged a glance, and Difei stepped forward and said:
"Lord Ghost Emperor, I am still lacking in accumulation before reaching the mid-stage of Ghost Lord. I wonder if I could be rewarded with a period of cultivation in the small secret realm of the Ghost Domain?"
"Alright." Seeing that Di Fei had gotten her wish, Yun Xi considered for a moment and then said:
"Lord Ghost Emperor, I was ambushed by an evil immortal in the Langhuan Secret Realm. When I fell into the spatial rift, my protective immortal armor was destroyed. I wonder if you could bestow upon me a new pair of protective immortal armor?"
She felt that this request was not excessive; it was within the Ghost Emperor's tolerance without making her seem like she was asking for too much. After all, she had contributed to severely injuring the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade and not letting the Evil Immortal take it away.
"can."
The Demon Emperor replied with a single word, then with a flick of his wrist, pushed a jade box in front of Yun Xi. Yun Xi knew without even looking that it must be something good, and after thanking him with a smile, she put the jade box into her storage bracelet.
Next, the eight ghost kings were to report on the destruction of the array wheel and the losses in this battle. Yunxi knew that it was not appropriate for her to stay here, so she tactfully took her leave and was then sent to the guest courtyard by the ghost immortals in the palace.
After Yunxi waved her sleeve and set off the restriction, she couldn't wait to open the reward that the Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm had given her.
The moment the jade box was opened, Yunxi saw a flash before her eyes, and a golden light flew out of the box.
When Yunxi spread her divine sense, she found it was a golden tortoise. The tortoise had a pair of beady eyes and was sizing her up, seemingly assessing her strength.
Yunxi's eyes sparkled. This protective immortal armor had clearly generated a spirit, making it a level above the golden armor she had destroyed before. So she gave the golden tortoise, which was hovering not far away, a maternal smile. The next moment, she flicked out a drop of essence blood, which, along with her powerful divine sense imprint, was sent into the golden tortoise's body.
"you"
The golden tortoise only had time to utter one word before its body shone brightly with golden light. As it absorbed Yunxi's essence blood, its divine sense imprint merged with the artifact spirit.
All the information about this protective immortal armor instantly flooded into her mind.
This immortal armor is called the Heavenly Evolution Golden Scale Armor. It is a protective immortal armor made by fusing the shell of the Black Tortoise with the scales of a Golden Dragon. Its hardness is a hundred times that of the Golden Armor. If she had fallen into the spatial rift while wearing the Heavenly Evolution Golden Scale Armor, her physical body and soul would definitely not have been separated.
Once activated, this armor automatically splits into two parts: the Xuanwu shell protects her physical body, while the golden dragon scales protect her soul by covering her nascent soul. Unlike the previous immortal armor, which could protect the physical body but not the nascent soul, or vice versa.
With a thought, Yunxi donned a layer of dark golden armor. Then, she looked inward at her dantian and saw her little nascent soul wearing a dragon-scale golden armor. The little nascent soul was touching the armor with its tiny hands, a faint smile on its lips, clearly very satisfied with its new armor.
At this moment, a childish voice came from Yunxi's sea of consciousness:
"You are now my new master, give me a name!"
Yunxi slowly uttered the words "Golden Scales," and the Heavenly Evolution Golden Scale Armor readily accepted. The next moment, the armor on her body flickered and disappeared directly into her fairy dress, becoming a close-fitting soft armor.
“Master, when you are not summoning the golden scales, I will protect your physical body in the form of close-fitting soft armor, and the dragon scale armor will always protect your soul.”
I will only revert to my armored form when you enter combat. This form is fine for most battles, unless you face an opponent one level higher. In that case, the tortoise shell will combine with the dragon scale armor to become the Heavenly Golden Scale Armor, maximizing its defensive capabilities.
