Chapter 243: Water Spirit Pearl
"Not at all..."
By the Jinshui River, Ling Yue irritably tossed the Ethereal Ring into the water. Her pretty face was filled with unwillingness. To an ordinary person, the Ethereal Ring was incredibly precious, but to her, it was like garbage, casually discarded without a second thought.
This Ethereal Ring did not belong to her; it belonged to the deceased Zhang Jun. Given Ling Yue's background, she had no desire for Zhang Jun's possessions. What she sought was the Water Spirit Pearl that originally belonged to her. Unfortunately, Zhang Jun had not placed this Water Spirit Pearl inside the Ethereal Ring he carried with him, and there wasn't even a single valuable item within the ring.
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything..."
Seeing Sun Zhe leaning against a willow tree stump with his eyes closed, Ling Yue frowned and spoke up in dissatisfaction. She had been searching for quite some time, while he comfortably rested there. This unequal treatment made her very unhappy.
Sun Zhe slightly opened his eyes and looked at Ling Yue, who was glaring at him. He sighed helplessly and slowly replied,
"Zhang Jun is dead now. You’ve already turned the cave at the bottom of the water upside down; you’ve searched everywhere you could. What else can I do? Should I pull Zhang Jun's soul back from the underworld for you?"
"You..."
Ling Yue's annoyance deepened at Sun Zhe's irresponsible attitude. However, when she noticed his still somewhat pale complexion, a hint of guilt arose in her heart. She couldn't help but recall what had just happened between them, and her face uncontrollably flushed a light shade of red.
She had initially thought she had controlled Zhang Jun using the Controlling Spirits technique, but she hadn’t expected him to unexpectedly choose self-destruction. If Sun Zhe hadn't pulled her away and wrapped her in his domain, she might have been engulfed by that terrifying energy as well. Yet she had misunderstood Sun Zhe. Looking at the faint traces of blood on his clothes made her feel even more embarrassed.
"About earlier... um... I'm sorry..."
Perhaps Ling Yue had never apologized to anyone before; after stammering for a while, she finally managed to express what she wanted to say. Seeing Ling Yue's awkward demeanor, even the indifferent Sun Zhe couldn't help but show a hint of a smile. Though he was a monster, he was still just a girl at heart.
"Is this what you're looking for?"
With a calm smile, Sun Zhe flipped his right hand, and a fist-sized orb appeared in his palm. The orb was surrounded by a faint blue halo, and within it swirled brilliant arcs of light, making it appear extremely colorful. Moreover, the orb emitted a peculiar energy that enveloped him in a comforting coolness, as if he were immersed in a hot spring.
"This... this is the Water Spirit Pearl... how did it end up in your hands? Where did you get it?"
Ling Yue's eyes widened in disbelief, her face clearly expressing her astonishment as she looked at Sun Zhe. She immediately took a couple of steps forward and asked him.
"Since it's the Water Spirit Pearl, take it!" Sun Zhe smiled slightly, tossing the Water Spirit Pearl to Ling Yue with a sweep of his right hand, creating an arc of blue light.
As he spoke, he slowly stood up from the ground, casually brushing off the dust on his clothes and letting out a gentle sigh. After this brief rest, although his injuries had not fully healed, he was no longer hindered in walking.
In fact, Sun Zhe had obtained the Water Spirit Pearl when he defeated the Azure Dragon. Zhang Jun had not placed the Water Spirit Pearl in the Ethereal Ring but instead kept it in the mouth of the Azure Dragon. He believed there was no safer place than that. However, he did not expect that the Azure Dragon would be killed by Sun Zhe's scheme, allowing Sun Zhe to coincidentally acquire the Water Spirit Pearl.
Later, Zhang Jun's frantic pursuit of Sun Zhe was partly due to his desire to reclaim the Water Spirit Pearl. Of course, at that time, Sun Zhe did not know that this was the very Water Spirit Pearl Ling Yue had been desperately searching for. Now seeing Ling Yue search through Zhang Jun's cave and Ethereal Ring without finding it, he recalled the pearl he had obtained and decided to ask her about it.
Sun Zhe practiced Thunder Power and naturally could not sense the peculiarity of the Water Spirit Pearl. However, for Ling Yue, who cultivated water-based powers, the Water Spirit Pearl was an invaluable treasure. As soon as it flew into her hands, it burst forth with dazzling blue light, enveloping her entirely in its brilliance, shimmering as if surrounded by a blue shield.
By the riverside, within the blue halo stood a charming figure; this scene was incredibly beautiful!
Holding the recovered Water Spirit Pearl in her hand, Ling Yue's face was filled with joy. With this Water Spirit Pearl, her comprehension of water laws would surely increase several times over, and her strength would also see significant enhancement. This was why she had been so eager to retrieve it.
Looking at Sun Zhe standing before her, Ling Yue truly didn't know what to say. Although she wasn't easily moved, what Sun Zhe had done was enough to make her grateful. Setting aside the fact that he had saved her life earlier, if Sun Zhe had hidden away this Water Spirit Pearl instead of presenting it now, she would never have suspected him at all.
"Are you leaving?"
Watching Sun Zhe's actions, Ling Yue was slightly taken aback and hesitantly asked, "Zhang Jun is already dead, and you have the Water Spirit Pearl in your possession. What am I still doing here? It's time for us to part ways..."
Gazing into the distant southern horizon, a hint of confusion flickered in Sun Zhe's eyes. An unexpected event had kept him away from his hometown for so long; now it was time to return home.
Time passed, and everything had changed.
With a soft sigh, Sun Zhe did not linger any longer. He took a step forward and walked into the distance, leaving Ling Yue standing there in a daze. The sound of the restless waves accompanied her, and the cold Autumn Wind brushed past, causing Ling Yue to involuntarily feel a chill.
"You cultivate Thunder Power; you should find this useful."
Seeing Sun Zhe's slowly receding figure, Ling Yue hesitated for a moment. She lightly brushed her right hand over her Ethereal Ring, and a purple light immediately shot towards Sun Zhe. Sun Zhe was slightly startled and stopped in his tracks. He gently swept his sleeve towards the incoming Purple Light, and a giant Purple Giant Sword appeared before him.
"Thunder Giant Sword?"
Sun Zhe stared in disbelief at the imposing Purple Giant Sword before him, filled with incredulity. This giant sword was indeed one of the four Thunder Giant Swords from back then.
"You know about the Thunder Giant Sword?" Noticing the astonishment in Sun Zhe's eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in Ling Yue's gaze as well. She hadn't expected him to know about the Thunder Giant Sword. However, she didn't dwell on it too much. With a slight smile, she said, "Since you know about it, that's even better. I won't explain further. This Thunder Giant Sword is something I obtained from my old home. Unfortunately, the seal inside cannot be broken. Although it doesn't compare to this Water Spirit Pearl, it's still an extraordinary Thunder Divine Weapon. I have no use for it, so I'll give it to you."
Back when they were at Evil Demon Sea, Golden Thunder Elder and the others had managed to break the first layer of seal on the Thunder Giant Sword. Although they had only broken through the first layer of seal, it was merely a small part of the entire seal. It took them hundreds of years to achieve even that little result because they fundamentally did not know the true method to break the seal; they only managed to forcefully break through the Evil Demon Sea's seal due to their profound cultivation.
With another Thunder Giant Sword obtained from Yin Yu Zhen Ren, Sun Zhe now possessed two Thunder Giant Swords. The reason he had not used this Thunder Giant Sword was not only because he preferred using knives but also because its power did not match that of the Divine Blade in his hand. Of course, if he could break its seal or master a way to combine several Thunder Divine Swords' powers, that would be a different story altogether.
Holding the Purple Light flickering Thunder Giant Sword in his hand, Sun Zhe's gaze flickered slightly. He understood that Ling Yue did not want to owe him a favor, so she also gifted him a thunder-type treasure. Otherwise, even if this Thunder God Sword was of no use to her, it was still a precious item, and she wouldn't just give it away carelessly.
"Then I won't thank you..."
Sun Zhe had no intention of refusing Ling Yue's gesture. He originally specialized in the Thunder Path, and if he could unlock the secrets of the Thunder Giant Sword, it would definitely double his strength. Even though the possibility seemed slim, he still wanted to give it a try.
He casually tossed the Thunder Giant Sword into the Ethereal Ring, replied to Ling Yue, and then walked away without looking back, heading towards the direction of Southern Region's Qin State.
"A year from now, the top young experts from all over will gather in Xianyang. I hope you won't miss it!"
As if recalling something, Ling Yue immediately shouted towards Sun Zhe. A year was enough time to complete some tasks assigned by the Sect, and this time the Xianyang Conference was jointly decided by the young generation from various continents. Those who could participate were undoubtedly the top young experts from each continent, and now Sun Zhe was fully qualified to be among them.
This gathering was also a clash among the top young experts from various continents. Currently, the young experts from Thunder Continent were clearly divided into two factions and had fallen behind compared to other continents. Ling Yue hoped that Sun Zhe could add strength to their side.
"I understand."
He replied lightly, but regarding the so-called Xianyang gathering, Sun Zhe did not pay much attention...
