Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1445 Moving After The Operation Has Been Finalized

Chu Yang was also rendered speechless by it.Each and every one of these weapons that Mo Tianji wanted were meant for sneak attacks. Not just that, they were also meant to trigger on their own and counter-attack when struck by enemies during moments where he had no choice but to take a hit.

Obviously, Mo Tianji was preparing for a rainy day in the future again. The sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

Due to the brothers’ varied and strange requests, Chu Yang was kept busy for a whole day.

He finally completed them in the end.

All the Exquisite Gold Jade Essence had been squandered away, while the other few pieces of premium-grade Meteoric Iron and peculiar minerals were also more or less fully squandered away with barely any left over!

After a rough calculation, the smithing this time easily used a total of 35,000 kilograms of peculiar metals, from which their essence was fully extracted and distilled. The Nine Tribulations Sword didn’t join in the absorption this time. Instead, he fused all the essence from the metals and crystals into the weapons.

Other than Rui Butong’s weapons that were constructed in a slipshod manner with only the blades’ sharpness ensured, everyone else’s weapons were constructed with all his care and attention.

What Chu Yang held extreme confidence in were — Gu Duxing’s Black Dragon Sword, Dong Wushang’s Dark Saber, Xie Danqiong’s viburnum flowers, Ao Xieyun’s Dragon King Sword, Mo Tianji’s Purple Jade Flute and Mo Qingwu’s Qing Wu Dream Saber. He had more than 90 percent confidence that all of them could evolve into weapons with spiritual powers!

As for the others, such as Ji Mo and Luo Kedi’s swords etc, it would depend on their communication with their own weapons. If they didn’t put effort into communicating with their weapons, even if it were a divine sword which they held in their hands, it would still be nothing more than cold hard metal.

However, it wasn’t that the materials weren’t good enough.

What was worth mentioning was Mo Tianji’s Purple Jade Flute. Out of special care and consideration for his brother-in-law, his flute was fully made out of Purple Crystal Jade Essence, in which two pieces of Soul of Purple Crystal were even fused in!

When the Purple Jade Flute was done, Mo Tianji practically couldn’t let go of it. The moment he placed it at his lips and played it, the sound it produced, as though metal, pierced into the sky, rising and falling melodiously in a sweet and mild manner. Mo Tianji was overjoyed!

Ji Mo stepped up to him while giving him surreptitious looks. “Brother Ji, how does the flute-blowing feel?”

Mo Tianji was right in the midst of his joy then. Without even thinking, he replied, “Awesome! It feels too awesome!”

Ji Mo burst into loud laughter. “Then how about you blow[1] me too?”

Mo Tianji turned deathly pale at once. A moment of carelessness and he actually fell into this fellow’s trap!

Chu Yang and the others burst into loud laughter. Chu Yang and the others burst into uproarious and deafening laughter.

Taking a deep breath, Mo Tianji turned to Ao Xieyun and asked, “Xieyun, weren’t you very puzzled as to where that extremely glittery jewel of yours went back then?”

“Danqiong, do you know who the person that frightened your wife into crying during your husband and wife gathering before we came up is?”

“Duxing, do you know who the one who came up with the lousy idea of playing pranks in your nuptial chamber on your wedding night is?”

“Butong, I won’t say much anymore. Ji Mo frequently laments something, which is, ‘Without Rui Butong at my side being beaten up, my fists always feel so lonely...”

“Little Wolf, you have it tough being so close and brotherly with him every day. All the brothers know exactly what you get up in the middle of the night to do. Who do you think told us? Hurhur...”

“Wushang, someone is really so arrogant, saying that he could totally suppress Dong Wushang and snatch the position of Third Brother back then. He allegedly boasted wildly that a Saber Supremacy can only eat his dust behind him... I wonder who this person is...”

“I don’t know what you guys think regarding a lot of things, but if it were I, Mo Tianji, I would find it absolutely intolerable...”

At once, the backyard went into a violent upheaval. The way everyone looked at Ji Mo was as if they were looking at an enemy whom they had an irreconcilable feud with!

Ji Mo’s complexion turned sallow right away, almost bursting into tears. Under the six brothers’ ferocious glares, Ji Mo’s legs turned into jelly from those fierce and vicious lines of vision. “Second Brother Mo... Sob... You... You didn’t need to be this vicious, did you... I-I...”

He hadn’t even finished what he was saying when he decided to make a run for it.

“Beat him up!” shouted someone. The six brothers then surrounded him at the same time and deftly wrestled him to the floor. Booms, bams, bangs and pows resounded in the air.

The extent of how quick the sounds rang out was as though heavy rain pitter-pattering onto leaves, just... a little more violent.

Mo Tianji shook his fan leisurely. “We’re all brothers, go a little lighter. Besides... Isn’t just beating him up once going too easy on him? We must go little by little and take it slow, and come up with a few different ways of doing it everyday... In case Second Master Ji feels uncomfortable. I’m sure he’ll be very reluctant to let Third Brother Ji take advantage of him...”

Ji Mo cried out tragically and hoarsely. “Second Brother Mo... What kind of deep grudge and huge feud do I have with you... Wasn’t it just a bad choice of words...”

Mo Tianji smiled with a light and calm air.

After a long while, as Mo Tianji played with his new weapon happily while admiring the sight of Ji Mo being beaten up, Chu Yang put his full attention into modifying Mo Qingwu’s Qing Wu Dream Saber.

Resting her cheek on her palm, Mo Qingwu sat beside Chu Yang and watched him with rapt attention.

In the beginning, she was watching the changes taking place in the saber. Later on, she ended up watching Chu Yang instead.

One must admit that a man doing something seriously with all his attention was extremely attractive — The Chu Yang at this moment was precisely so. The little loli was watching him so attentively that a red hue had covered her entire face, yet she couldn’t stop herself from continuing to watch him.

In the beginning, she watched him covertly, lowering her head with a red face after casting a few glances. Later on, she straight up watched him openly...

After yet another long while...

Full of tears and snot, Ji Mo’s head had become as swollen as a pig. “Brother Tianji... I was wrong... Second Brother Mo, I was wrong, I’ve turned over a new leaf. I’m seriously inhumane... Be magnanimous and let me off... You can just treat me like a fart and release me...”

Mo Tianji examined his fan seriously. He examined his flute and his sword, paying him no heed at all.

No matter what he did, he just refused to look at Ji Mo.

When night came, Mo Qingwu’s saber was finally completed. Upon Chu Yang’s invitation, Moon Breeze also came over for dinner with Chu Yang and the rest.

All of them sat at the banquet, with Ji Mo the only outcast there. No matter where he sat with an ingratiating expression, he would be attacked by someone. In the end, he could only pitifully take a big bowl and grab some food for himself before going to the side to eat. Dong Wushang even reached out and broke off a piece of his bowl.

Ji Mo looked around him pitifully, but he was thoroughly ignored by everyone. Knowing that he had offended everyone, he could only squat in the corner and eat miserably.

Everyone was secretly laughing inwardly. However, they deliberately ignored him, their eyes slanted downwards as they glanced at him, as though he was a beggar begging for food on the streets — And one who had just been badly beaten up no less!

Rui Butong ultimately couldn’t stop himself from challenging Gu Duxing to a fight. His plan was to challenge Gu Duxing first before challenging the Boss, Chu Yang. Even though he would definitely reach a draw or even lose to these fellows, Rui Butong wanted to leave behind a glorious memory at this moment nonetheless.

His memory this time was exceptionally glorious!

From head to toe, more than 300 holes had been ripped open in his robes by Gu Duxing with his newly-strengthened Black Dragon Sword. Out of the 300, more than 100 drew blood. Even the strings of his trousers had been cut. It was as if the Black Dragon Sword was alive; it circled around Phoenix Rui’s ‘little brother’, round after round.

Cold sweat dripped from Rui Butong’s forehead. He was so terrified that his face had already turned a waxy yellow.

When Gu Duxing finally withdrew his sword, Rui Butong had already turned from a phoenix into a dragon — An azure dragon!

When even his battle with Gu Duxing had turned out like that, how would Rui Butong possibly dare to challenge Chu Yang? Scared out of his wits, Rui Butong went off to change into a fresh set of clothes in trepidation, thanking the heavens the entire time. It was fortunate that Second Brother Gu’s swordsmanship was well-practiced. Otherwise, if he accidentally missed... He would become the sinner of the Phoenix race.

After the meal, Yue Lingxue was suddenly overcome with enthusiasm and decided to spar with each of the Nine Tribulations brothers respectively. Later on, they formed pairs and trios to attack, and towards the end, all of them went up together!

But of course, the entire group failed in the end.

Supremacy Yue commented very excitedly, “Not bad! You could actually make me take a couple of steps back!”

His words made the proud and lofty Lord Sword Master and his brothers speechless and ashamed of themselves to the max.

Mo Tianji was in charge of making battle strategy arrangements.

Even after a long time after the end of the sparring session, Rui Butong and Luo Kedi were still sprawled flat at the walls of the courtyard like dead dogs, unable to move even an inch. These two were in charge of hitting below the belt... In any case, all the despicable moves were solely undertaken by these two.

And so, they were in for a tragedy.

In the latter half of the night, amidst joyous laughter, Mo Tianji started to arrange for them to set out for battle.

Under Ji Mo’s shameless and thick-skinned request and pleading as he bowed and kowtowed, Mo Tianji decided to show great compassion for once and mercifully permitted Ji Mo to be part of the first wave to set off, so that he could escape the sea of misery.

Before Ji Mo’s elated cheers could even ring out, Mo Tianji supplemented another line —”Gu Duxing and Ji Mo are to go together and look out for each other.”

Ji Mo’s face fell immediately.

Out of all the brothers, he wasn’t even as scared of Chu Yang as he was scared of Gu Duxing... Chu Yang typically only censured him a little. However, Gu Duxing was someone who struck out directly.

Back then, Second Master Ji successfully joining the Heavenly Armament Pavilion was even all thanks to Gu Duxing pummeling him into it...

Towards this arrangement, despite being a little puzzled, Chu Yang didn’t raise any questions. Instead, he secretly said a few words to Gu Duxing via telepathy.

He remembered that Mo Tianji had mentioned letting Ao Xieyun and Rui Butong set off first the night before. Why did Mo Tianji change his mind today?

Before long, Gu Duxing and Ji Mo set off.

Mo Tianji, Chu Yang and the rest waited all the way until the afternoon before they set off, exiting the main gate of the Chu Clan grandly and flamboyantly.

A far distance away, Yue Lingxue followed them at the back. He brought up the rear, his form almost invisible and indiscernible.

“Why did you let Duxing and Ji Mo go first?” Chu Yang finally found the opportunity to ask while on the way there.

“I had originally wanted to send Ao Xieyun and Rui Butong there, but... I thought about it later on and thought that even though they are from the Dragon and Phoenix races, on the contrary, sending the two of them there might not be a wise move,” replied Mo Tianji.

“Why??” Chu Yang was greatly puzzled. Wasn’t it aptly complementary by sending descendants of the Dragon and Phoenix race to the land of Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity? Why would it be an unwise move?

“There are dragon and phoenix remains over there. Moreover, the power that remains in them is likely to be whole and complete...” Mo Tianji’s countenance was grim. “Should there be a reaction between Ao Xieyun and Rui Butong and the force field there, I’m afraid that it would bring harm to them instead.”

Right away, Chu Yang understood Mo Tianji’s concerns.

The land of the Dragon and Phoenix might not necessarily be unreactive toward the Dragon and Phoenix races.

Should there really be no reaction, there would be no difference between sending Ao Xieyun and Rui Butong over and sending other people over. But should there really be a reaction... While the two of them would be able to sense it, there was the concern that the enemy would also be able to sense them by picking up on it and following clues.

Should that really happen... this would be no different from sending them straight into a perilous situation.

“Our journey there this time... The traitor would be able to realize that we’re no longer in the Chu Clan by this evening, tops. Judging from the speed of the Invisible Falcon, the Xiao Clan should be able to get wind of the news tonight.”

Mo Tianji asked solemnly, “What will they do when they get the news?”
