Chapter 10: Go All Out
Wuyuan flew back without even wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, immediately asking about the condition of the four girls.
Qing Yiyi, Yu Zhuting, Meng Yan, and Fei Changxia were momentarily stunned, tears of emotion glistening in their eyes as they looked at Wuyuan, feelings beginning to arise in their hearts.
Just moments ago, Wuyuan had risked his own life to fly in front of Qing Yiyi, trying to block Xū Tiānyuā’s sword strike for her.
This act undoubtedly shattered the wall of hesitation in their hearts, making them accept Wuyuan wholeheartedly, realizing that he truly meant to pursue them. Moreover, having such a man willing to sacrifice himself for them filled them with a sense of security.
“Wuyuan…” The four girls called out tenderly, tears in their eyes.
How could Wuyuan not understand their feelings? He immediately laughed joyfully, flew forward, stretched out his arms, and embraced all four of them at once.
“Haha, Qu Yi, Wu Qing—now I also have a wife!” Wuyuan, feeling the softness in his arms, suddenly raised his head and shouted, as if releasing years of pent-up resentment.
Qing Yiyi, Yu Zhuting, Meng Yan, and Fei Changxia, held tightly by Wuyuan, trembled for a moment before lowering their heads and smiling sweetly, allowing his eager hands to roam over them.
On the island, the more than 400 members of the “Miracle Four Girls” pirate crew watched this tender scene in the sky. Their throats made gulping sounds; after a moment of envy, they started screaming loudly and cheering.
“King of the Three Fortresses, you’re so amazing!”
“King of the Three Fortresses, you’re my idol!”
“King of the Three Fortresses, can your hands be a little more gentle?”
“King of the Three Fortresses, be bolder, more fierce, more manly!”
…
The over 400 pirates became even more bold, starting to tease the five people immersed in their affection.
“Ah…”
At that moment, Qing Yiyi, Yu Zhuting, Meng Yan, and Fei Changxia cried out in shock. They realized they were surrounded by their own 400+ pirate subordinates, who had witnessed this intimate scene. They blushed and grew anxious, not knowing what to do.
Wuyuan, already having achieved his goal, just kept smiling foolishly at the pirates on the island, occasionally giving them subtle glances to encourage them to keep making noise.
The pirates became even more enthusiastic.
“Stop making such noise! Are you that thick-skinned? Go search for valuables right away!” Meng Yan became more serious and shouted loudly.
The over 400 pirates naturally knew they couldn’t laugh any longer. They immediately scattered and searched the pirate gang’s lair for various valuables.
※※※
Inside the Dimensional Sphere, Qu Yi had been refining divine artifacts all along. After killing Dao Wuji, he obtained his life essence and his space ring, from which he found some materials for artifact refinement. Thus, Qu Yi began attempting to craft divine artifacts at the Divine General level.
He had already fully understood the “Three-Dimensional Dao” formation, allowing him to start refining divine artifacts at that level long ago.
At this moment, the Xingluo Cauldron was steadily placed before Qu Yi, emitting an ancient aura. The Xingluo Cauldron was classified as a Innate Spiritual Treasure and was originally meant to be used by Artifact Gods for refinement. Now, back in the divine realm, over time, it gradually regained its status as the foremost divine artifact for refining.
Qu Yi placed one hand on the Xingluo Cauldron and channeled his divine essence. Inside the cauldron, a black flame emerged—the Dark Cang Divine Flame. This divine flame could only be unleashed by cultivators at the Divine General level. Like a hidden current in the vast ocean, it seemed to embody the vicissitudes of countless years, inspiring deep reflection and concentration.
Qu Yi remained calm and composed, as if he already fully understood the properties of the Dark Cang Divine Flame. Under his control, the flame within the cauldron moved at will—moving when he wanted it to and remaining still when he desired it to, entirely at his command.
After skillfully manipulating the Dark Cang Divine Flame for a while, Qu Yi threw in some materials for artifact refinement. Immediately, the flame surrounded these materials, melting, decomposing, dispersing, and evenly distributing them.
A hundred days later.
After using the Dark Cang Divine Flame to purify and decompose the materials thoroughly, Qu Yi controlled the flame to gradually reduce its intensity while simultaneously prompting the molecular aggregation of the materials. Everything was under his control.
The Dark Cang Divine Flame went out, and within the Xingluo Cauldron, a sword-shaped artifact core had already formed.
The artifact core was complete!
Immediately afterward, Qu Yi used his divine consciousness to control the Xingluo Cauldron and send the artifact core out, causing it to land smoothly on the platform.
Quiyi spread his hands steadily, his palms moving gracefully, with invisible chaotic energy emanating from them. He was simulating the aura of a formation, ready to inscribe one on the artifact core.
“Good, like spring breeze and gentle rain—time to form the formation.”
After moving his hands for a while, Qu Yi suddenly shouted and pressed both palms simultaneously onto the sword-shaped artifact core.
Soon, Qu Yi retracted his palms, and a hint of moisture appeared on the artifact embryo, exuding a vibrant spring atmosphere as if it had come to life, full of vitality.
With the formation successful, the divine artifact at the Divine General level was now complete.
Qu Yi picked up the divine sword, admired it for a while, and smiled in satisfaction. “This divine sword shall be named Spring Rain Sword.”
Immediately afterward, he swung the sword twice, and a light drizzle appeared in the space. Each drop of rain consisted of hundreds of thousands of golden, wooden, water, and spiritual entities, possessing strong penetrating power.
Very pleased, Qu Yi quickly stored the Spring Rain Sword in his space ring before leaving the Miniature World.
“Hey, Wu Yuan is progressing fast—he’s already conquered those four women. Impressive!” As soon as Qu Yi emerged from the Miniature World, he learned about Wu Yuan’s current situation through the soul of Qing Yiyi, which he controlled.
Laughing loudly, Qu Yi took out the Boundless Star Map and headed to the island where the “Miracle Four Women” pirate gang was located.
“Be thorough and search carefully for any hidden space rings,” Rain Bamboo Ting commanded from above, urging her subordinates.
Deities in the Divine Realm used space rings to store items. After Xu Tianya died, the space ring he left contained few items, so Qing Yiyi, Rain Bamboo Ting, Meng Yan, and Fei Changxia realized that the gang’s belongings must be hidden somewhere on the island.
At that moment, Qu Yi appeared.
“Haha, you’ve already cleared out one pirate gang—not bad. By the way, Wu Yuan, why is there blood at the corner of your mouth? Did you treat Qing Yiyi, Rain Bamboo Ting, Meng Yan, and Fei Changxia unfriendly, causing them to slap you?” As soon as he appeared, Qu Yi looked at Wu Yuan and laughed loudly.
Hearing this, Wu Yuan was so anxious he wanted to jump in the air, but he held back, looking at Qu Yi pitifully, hoping he wouldn’t mock him like this.
Qing Yiyi, Rain Bamboo Ting, Meng Yan, and Fei Changxia all blushed and fiddled with their clothes, embarrassed.
Seeing their reaction, Qu Yi felt awkward continuing and instead spread his consciousness to search the entire island.
“It seems your consciousness isn’t very strong after all. I’ve found the space ring.” Qu Yi laughed and flashed over to the island, stopping beside a bare rock on the grass.
Under everyone’s gaze, he took out the newly crafted Spring Rain Sword and plunged it into the rock, shattering it completely.
Immediately afterward, a space ring flew out amid a surge of energy and was caught by Qu Yi’s hand.
Qu Yi sent his mental sense into the space ring, scanned it briefly, and then smiled, saying, “Alright, I’ll take those refining materials. As for the rest, leave it for you to share.” With that, pieces of divine stones, spirit shells, precious horns, and unusual bones flew out of the space ring and all entered the Inch Realm Ball. After taking the refining materials, Qu Yi tossed the space ring to Qing Yiyi. “Alright, I’ve taken the materials. You’ve done a good job, so I’m relieved. Continue to eliminate the pirate gangs here. Oh, by the way, Qing Yiyi, Yu Zhuting, Meng Yan, and Fei Changxia—if Wu Yuan behaves badly, you can pull out his ears. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it for you,” Qu Yi called out happily. Before Wu Yuan could reply, Qu Yi disappeared. “Scoundrel!” Wu Yuan turned red with anger. The others were laughing so hard they could barely stand, but they still envied Wu Yuan’s luck. Qing Yiyi, Yu Zhuting, Meng Yan, and Fei Changxia were also furious but could do nothing but glare at Wu Yuan, hurting him even more. “Alright, everyone, get on the flying sea ships immediately. We need to keep moving,” Yu Zhuting quickly regained her composure and ordered. Soon, the “Four Magical Women” pirate gang continued flying over the ocean in search of other pirate groups. ※※※ On Beiyang Island, the cleanup operation was going smoothly, and the same was true on Nanyin Island. At this time, Qing Wugui and the chief leader Zhu Chen, along with four other group leaders at the Divine General level, along with 500 pirates at the Divine Human level, arrived at a sea area where a faint island could be seen on the horizon. “Second Chief, there’s an island over there. Let’s go take a look,” Zhu Chen said, his eyes shining. He had already sensed a murderous aura emanating from the island. Qing Wugui was more sensitive to murderous auras than anyone else—he possessed a heart of a Asura. “Good, let’s all go and have a good fight,” Qing Wugui said excitedly. Zhu Chen nodded and waved his hand, leading six flying sea ships to speed up and head straight for the island. Before Qing Wugui and the others could arrive, three people had already flown out of the island and hovered in the air, staring fiercely at the six flying sea ships. “Who are you? The Star Sea Island pirate gang is here handling matters. Leave immediately, or we’ll slaughter you,” warned a burly man among the three in the air.
