LDP S3: The Jewel of the Underworld

Ch. 49 — Genuine Form Zhi Ming.

Inside the Dimension Aisle.

Fu Rong suddenly stopped at one corner of the dimensional passageway whose condition was extremely stable without any disturbing whirlpool of chaos energy.

He then took out Zhi Ming from within his storage ring and looked at him intently as if he wanted to uncover all the secrets that Zhi Ming possessed.

“You till when are you going to keep going undercover? Quickly show your true form! Do you think I have absolutely no idea that you actually still have another form that is a higher existence than all spirit weapons.”

Fu Rong said all of this firmly while locking onto Zhi Ming's movements so that the spirit of this weapon could not escape.

“What do you mean? I don't understand what you're talking about. If you really want to make me a weapon spirit from your heirloom weapon then do it immediately and do not say a statement that confuses me. However, if you don't want me then let me go.”

After hearing Zhi Ming say, Fu Rong then took out an heirloom object that was in the form of a fist-sized gemstone and had a pitch-black color with a sparkle of light on each side.

“My heirloom weapon is this gemstone. You must know very well about this Gemstone of Eternity, right? Because, it is impossible if you forget your first home.”

“Where do you know if I am the real weapon spirit of the gemstone of immortality?”

Zhi Ming naturally felt extremely curious. Because, the disguise technique that he had used so far was a high-level disguise technique that was not easily detected. Even except for the four Celestial Emperors, no Deity was able to recognize his true identity.

In the scattered history in the Realm of Gods and Demons it is said that the Devil Nation has managed to snatch the Gemstone of Eternity from the hands of the Gods.

However, no one knew that the Devil Nation actually only got an empty shell. Because, the weapon spirit from the gemstone of immortality had long been hidden by the four Celestial Emperors. If not, then the Devil Nation must have long benefited from the Gemstone of Eternity.

Back then, the Seven Demon Lords became furious and wanted to destroy the Gemstone of Eternity because it was useless for them to keep an empty shell. However, Demon King Fu suddenly made a request to store this heirloom and in the end he gave it to Fu Rong to be used as a toy.

“You don't need to know! Now are you willing to go back inside this gemstone or not? If not, then there is no point in this gemstone being in my hands and I will immediately destroy it.” Fu Rong's words were very clear and did not invite the slightest trace of doubt.

“Do not destroy! I'm willing to go back into the Gemstone of Eternity.”

Zhi Ming then showed his true form before Fu Rong because there was no point in hiding himself if his disguise had been revealed.

A beautiful woman who had two different colors on her body - black and white - was currently standing in front of Fu Rong. This was the original form of Zhi Ming.

It turned out that Zhi Ming's true form was a woman. Heilong would definitely be very surprised to find out about this because he had indeed oppressed Zhi Ming so often.

Zhi Ming then extended his right hand. “Create a weapons contract with me so that I can return to the gemstone of immortality.”

Without saying much, Fu Rong immediately extended his hand and made a weapon contract seal with Zhi Ming.

Instantly, Zhi Ming's body began to resonate with the Gemstone of Eternity and an extremely rich life energy radiated from both of them until it filled every part of this dimensional passageway.

It was fortunate that Fu Rong had made good preparations before he interrogated Zhi Ming. So, all the life energy present in this dimensional passageway was completely sealed around this place and did not leak out.

Fu Rong was silent for a moment because only this time he felt this comfortable sensation. A sensation where he is not afraid of death.

Moreover, all the demonic air present within his body also started to be suppressed by the life energy that was so rich and forced out.

Now, Fu Rong was no longer part of the Devil Nation. However, he was still able to use the power of the darkness Qi because the achievement of his Space Dao actually came from the power of the darkness Qi or Yin energy.

“Right now, I'm no longer a demon. But, I also don't want to join the gods who are filled with cunning schemes.” Fu Rong pondered for a moment while observing the change in him.

“God is just a title for cultivators who have exceeded the limits of the cultivation realm that humans can reach. Being a god does not require you to stay in the God Realm because going to the God Realm is just an option not an obligation. In this vast Universe, countless strong cultivators were living outside the God Realm for various kinds of certain reasons.”

Zhi Ming tried to give Fu Rong a bit of enlightenment in order for this woman's emotions to stabilize.

“Thank you. I'll remember that. Now, are you willing to stay inside my Soul World? I can't think of the safest place to hide your existence other than the Soul World of my own.”

“I'm ready. Since you made a weapons contract with me then you are my Master and I will obey all your orders.”

Fu Rong then immediately stored the Gemstone of Eternity into his Soul World after obtaining approval from Zhi Ming.

He immediately returned to the Fu Clan Pavilion after clearing up this place and disappeared the traces of life energy left behind.

Unwittingly by Fu Rong, it turns out that a pair of pitch-black eyes always keep an eye on Fu Rong from a distance and hide his existence perfectly.

The Zhao Clan Pavilion.

Tomorrow had arrived and Heilong was currently waiting for Zhao Xu's arrival in the living room of his personal Pavilion. Zhao Xu had promised that this day would lead him to visit the dungeon.

Of course Heilong was not alone in this place because Lijian had been in this place since dawn.

After finishing his recovery, Lijian immediately met Heilong and immediately chatted over tea.

Lijian became interested when Heilong said that Zhao Xu would invite him to visit the dungeon and intended to wait for Zhao Xu's arrival at this place so that he could make a request.

“Have you previously visited the dungeon mentioned by elder Zhao Xu?” Heilong started the conversation by drinking a cup of tea.

“No. The underground prison is a closed place that should not be visited by just anyone. So, it could be said that the dungeon was one of the forbidden places that the Zhao Clan had.” Lijian answered according to what he knew all along.

“Then have you ever heard who the figure locked up in that dungeon is? It should not be an ordinary figure and be a threat to the survival of the Devil Nation,” continued Heilong probing.

In terms of investigating through questions, Heilong seems to have a special skill that makes every question he raises feel very relaxed and does not cause suspicion.

“This underground prison has been around since ancient times long before the Demon Lords controlled the Demon Birth Star. His place back then was in the era of the Ancient Demon Beast. So, there are a lot of rumors about who is imprisoned in the dungeon. However, the truth to date cannot be proven as the key to entering the dungeon has long since disappeared.”

“If the lock of the dungeon has long disappeared, it means that the door of the dungeon cannot be opened. So why do we go there?”

Heilong felt played with by Zhao Xu upon hearing Lijian's story about the dungeon. If that was the case about the dungeon, wouldn't they just be wasting their time visiting this place?
