Chapter 228 Soul-Devouring Divine Iron

system.

In-depth identification.

"Ding, White Soul Sword, Grade: (Pseudo) Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure, Origin: Forged by Master Forger Modi in his final and most successful forging, he poured countless efforts into it, polishing the blade for five years and quenching it countless times, all to commemorate his deceased wife, Bai Xuan; White Soul Sword is mainly forged from deep-sea Xuan Essence, with a piece of Soul-Devouring Divine Iron added, which is why the quality of White Soul Sword reaches the level of a top-grade spiritual treasure. However, because Modi's forging techniques were insufficient to forge the Soul-Devouring Divine Iron, it was only inlaid, so it is not a true top-grade spiritual treasure. Modi passed away not long after the sword was forged. Within the territory of Canglan Star, Wan Wujiang learned of this and took possession of the sword. He died in battle against the ??? Imperial City and it has now fallen into the hands of ???."

"Drip, Soul-Devouring Divine Iron, one of the Ten Great Divine Irons. When infused with the power of living beings, it can temporarily store and use various types of power. Because its mechanism is only fixed energy and does not have an amplification function, its upper limit is extremely high. To date, no energy form has appeared that can destroy Soul-Devouring Divine Iron. For this reason, Soul-Devouring Divine Iron is the most difficult divine iron to forge. It is mostly used in the form of inlay. Only with the assistance of a power form containing the power of rules can it be smelted into shape."

"Beep, based on the analysis of the host's environment, this system suggests that the host can only condense the Soul-Devouring Divine Iron after obtaining the 'Extreme Yang Emperor's Will'."

"Beep, because the host has not yet installed the Deep Exploration function (unlocked at Tier 6 of the Overlord Body), the Deep Simulation function (unlocked at Tier 9 of the Holy Body), and the ??? function (unlocked at the Realm of Return to the Dao), we are unable to provide the host with the best advice on obtaining the 'Extreme Yang Emperor's Will'."

"Beep, the White Soul Sword has been subjected to an overload of energy release, and its damage level is 10%. When it reaches 70%, it will no longer be able to be used normally. When it reaches 90%, the Deep Sea Essence part will be completely destroyed."

Xiao Li: ? ? ?

Gu Yun looked at Xiao Li's dazed expression and asked curiously.

"What's wrong? Is this sword so powerful that even the system can't tell? How could it possibly confuse you?"

It took Xiao Li a while to finish reading the system's appraisal report, and he gave an awkward laugh.

"No, this is the first time I've used Deep Identification on an item type. I didn't expect so many pop-ups to appear. Its identification of items seems a bit abnormal."

"It's so unusual that it feels like we could exploit a bug."

Gu Yun: ? ? ?

Xiao Li continued.

"This system provides very detailed in-depth identification of item types, and also includes suggestions on how to improve the item and the methods for improvement. Of course, my rank and permissions are too low, so they don't tell me many of these things."

Xiao Li then recounted the system's report to Gu Yun.

Gu Yun leaned back instantly, gasped, and blurted out a joke.

"What the hell?!"

"Then you'd better start cultivating right now. You're not allowed to play around anymore. I'm going to start wholesaling Imperial Will."

"The future is bright!"

Xiao Li: ?

Xiao Li, who clearly knew more about the system than Gu Yun, explained.

"Big brother."

"How could that be? Only improvements at the level of divine iron involve the power of higher-level rules, which is too difficult to reach. And even if there is a chance that there is no room for improvement, it would be a waste of an in-depth appraisal. It all depends on luck."

Gu Yun thought about it for a moment and realized that this was indeed a problem, and said with some regret.

"That's true. I was just thinking of having you examine the Creation Divine Iron again to see if you could detect any imperial intent."

"However, I really feel that there is no room for improvement in the Creation Divine Iron. It is already at its limit, and even so it is already very powerful. To be honest, I am quite envious. The super-rule power that you present through the system should be 'omniscient' in essence."

"Omniscient, omniscient."

Gu Yun couldn't help but sigh.

He glanced once more at the White Soul Sword, which was now shimmering with a white halo, which had been handed back to him, and chuckled softly.

This analysis is far too detailed.

No wonder this sword is so powerful.

It turns out there was a piece of divine iron embedded inside.

Is it the Soul-Devouring Divine Iron?

It seems this thing will be very useful to me. In the future, I can indirectly use many kinds of powers that I cannot use in my main body.

Be extra careful when you return to the upper realm.

Such divine iron in the lower realms is something that can only be encountered by chance and is extremely rare.

Xiao Li suddenly remembered the system's question from earlier and couldn't help but ask.

"Brother, what level is the Return to the Dao Realm? I've never heard of it before?"

Gu Yun paused, hesitated for a moment, then sheathed the White Soul Sword and explained to Xiao Li.

“Telling you too much now might affect your future cultivation. I can only tell you that Returning to the Dao is a realm above the Innate Realm. However, even gods and demons don’t usually call this realm Returning to the Dao. It’s mostly a term passed down and used by those who ascend from the lower realms.”

"This realm is usually referred to as Demon General or God General. In short, don't overthink it, the road ahead is long."

"With the system's support and endless resources, even if your talent isn't outstanding, you won't be slow. At least reaching the pseudo-innate level shouldn't be a problem. Let's go to Canglan Imperial City first; you can use the resources there as you please."

"Oh, right, I was originally planning to help you ascend to the Saint Body in one step after you reached the sixth level of the Overlord Body. But since you have a way to obtain the Emperor's Will, then you should try to become a Saint on your own first. You should try to obtain the power of the Emperor's Will as much as possible."

"There is a will of Heaven in the dark. Although I do not believe in Heaven, since Heaven is willing to do me a favor, you can accept it."

"Once you break through to the sixth level of the Overlord Body, you should be able to find some clues about the Extreme Yang Emperor's Will. I'll take you there to check it out then."

"There's no need to rely on the system for everything. The sooner you grasp the Emperor's Will, the better. Just follow the system completely. You can't wait until you reach the Dao of Return to find the Emperor's Will, can you?"

"You are not alone now."

Xiao Li nodded heavily in gratitude.

"Okay! ^w^!"

"I will follow your orders, brother!"

Given his personality, even if he had the chance to reach a level where he could access the Emperor's Will, he might actually wait until he returned to the Dao before trying to find a way to do so.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he asked curiously.

"Hey, bro, do you think this Extreme Yang Imperial Will might also have a matching Extreme Yin Imperial Will, and then the combination of these two imperial wills would be some kind of awesome combo?"

Gu Yun thought this was very likely, since extreme yin and yang are two opposing forces that coexist. How could there be extreme yang without extreme yin? He joked.

"Maybe the holder of the Extreme Yin Emperor's Will is also an unparalleled beauty. Condensing the Extreme Yang Emperor's Will and getting a wife for free, isn't that the formula in system novels? Tsk tsk tsk, Xiao Li, your life is truly enviable."

Xiao Li felt awkward and waved his hand.

"No, no, brother, don't joke around. This is not even a matter of chance, there's not even ink in the ink. And even if I condense the Extreme Yang Emperor's Will, the holder of the Extreme Yin Emperor's Will might be a man, or maybe an old woman. Anyway, I don't think about this at all."

And so, Gu Yun and Xiao Li set off for the capital, chatting and laughing.

Ye Ying'er and Ling were separated by an unknown distance, one with her head turned to the right and the other to the left, silently following like two guards.

(This is a single-female-lead novel. All the female characters who survive for more than a few chapters have a romantic partner, though their screen time varies. Our male lead has no romantic feelings and doesn't engage in any ambiguous relationships (?＞?＜?). You readers should be able to guess who is paired with whom. All the couples in this book will have a happy ending as much as possible, so please enjoy.)
