Now that the Quasi-Highest Ancient Heavenly Secret Realm had disappeared, Gu Changge could finally see well the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd in his hands. Halberd blades were pitch-black, and brilliant blood-red veins pulsed throughout his body.
It was emitting a wisp of cold light, and looked extremely terrifying under the thick Demon Qi that was gathering around it.
It's not light either.
Gu Changge estimated his weight to be several tens of thousands of pounds, and the texture of his cold grip made him appear to be forged by Dark Immortal Gold.
The longer Gu Changge watched it, the higher his satisfaction.
His physique was relatively good even among his peers in the Upper Realm, but even he could feel Halberd's weight.
Of course, he could take it because his Demon Heart had a deep connection to the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd. Let alone holding it in their hands, ordinary cultivators would soon be obliterated if they tried to touch it.
The weight he was feeling right now was specially arranged by the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd so that he could get used to it well. The actual weight was far beyond one's imagination. It could easily destroy a Void with just the superiority of its density.
"It seems you think of me as one of your own kind, and will follow me from now on ..."
Gu Changge spoke with satisfaction, and recalled the Great Dao Precious Bottle above his head.
The remnant spirit from Quasi-Supreme could easily increase his cultivation by leaps and bounds after he had completely digested it. Right now, it had turned into pure energy, and brought a feeling of euphoria to him as it flowed through his limbs.
Of course, it increased the hidden power that he would not unleash unless he had no other choice. As the Young Sovereign of the Upper Realm, Gu Changge naturally had no shortage of trump cards, and this was one of his many hidden weapons.
The Eight Desolate Demon Halberd, on the other hand, trembled in excitement hearing Gu Changge's words. As if I could understand his words. At the same time, Gu Changge felt the feelings of joy, affection, and excitement from the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd. No matter how he looked at it, it did not resemble a murderous demon weapon that could slaughter all living beings and bring chaos to Heaven.
Instead, it looked like a friendly neighbor boy living next door.
Her strange emotions startled Gu Changge for a moment, but he immediately overcame his shock.
He had heard rumors that the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd was not a fake weapon, but an innate existence born with its master who also possessed the Demon Heart. Of course, the rumor was too ancient, and its authenticity could not be verified.
After all, he was happy to feel the emotions of the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd. Everything in the world has its own spirit, and weapons are no exception to this rule.
It was normal for weapons to gather spiritual wisdom and attain divinity after enduring for thousands of years with the Heavenly Dao Mark.
After all, there were many ancient Inherits with hidden Ancestral Artifacts that had been passed down since time immemorial. These artifacts will awaken at critical moments and show their divine power.
The eight ferocious Desolate Demon Halberd had been sealed here for innumerable years, and it had made him develop his own wisdom.
This naturally shocked Gu Changge, and he felt even more tempted.
"It seems you can understand my words?"
Gu Changge said to the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd and waited for his reaction.
It shook in response.
It was just that the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd could only convey emotions to him, and not speech.
"So you really understand my words! Do you understand that I will be your master from now on?"
Gu Changge asked again.
Of course, he needed to fix it first. Unless he fixed it, he would not be able to bring out the true power of Halberd. Although he could control it now, he could not bring out the power he wielded at its peak.
The Eight Desolate Demon Halberd trembled in excitement. As if showing how happy it was to have Gu Changge as its Master, it released strands of Demon Qi around it. It seemed to be his way of expressing his euphoria.
"You are a very good weapon, yet you must be sealed here for a long time. As your Master, I cannot endure my heartache for you. Just follow me in the future, and I will instantly kill you whoever tries to hurt you. If someone makes you unhappy, just tell me about them.”.
Gu Changge also teased her happily, and realized that it had not been too long since the Spear had given birth to his consciousness. For now, it could only express simple emotions of joy, anger, and sadness, etc.
Upon hearing his words, the Spear's excitement surged, and the tip of his sword trembled. The void around him turned turbulent just from that simple movement.
"What if I give you a name? I will call you Xiao Hei from now on because you are so beautiful ..."
[1: Xiao Hei translates to Little Black but Little Black does not sound too good for a beautiful beauty.]
"..."[2]
[2: read: wtf, dad! I trusted you.]
Gu Changge could not help but laugh in his heart. To him, Xiao Hei was much more alluring than beauty.
……
As Gu Changge left the palace, Ye Liuli followed him with an extremely complicated expression. The two quietly headed to the edge of the underground ancient city, where they left behind the others.
Halfway through, the System Prompt sounded in Gu Changge's mind.
[Dig! Congratulations?, Host, for having conquered the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd! You have unlocked the Weapon Storage System!]
The prompt that suddenly shocked Gu Changge, and he wondered if this Weapon Storage was like a spatial storage artifact?
He called out his Attribute Panel,

He immediately found the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd listed below the line showing his Halo. By the nature of the System, he was confident that only truly peerless Artifacts and Weapons could have the honor of appearing in his Attribute Panel.
Simply put: 'The system would not bother recording ordinary things even if Gu Changge mastered some cultivation methods or refined weapons.'
It looked down on them and treated them as unworthy of his attention.
Since the origin of the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd was not simple, the System specifically opened the Weapon Storage to it.
Ordinary items that Gu Changge already has — such as Blade, Sword, Cauldron, etc. — will not appear in his Attribute Panel. All of those things still needed to be stored in his storage ring, or somewhere else.
Just then, Gu Changge gave the order in his mind, and felt the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd disappear from his storage ring in response.
At the same time, he saw an infinite dark space in his mind.
[Humbling!]
The Eight Desolate Demon Halberd appeared within the space from thin air. The unfamiliar surroundings immediately shocked him, and released his terrifying Demon Qi which surged in all directions. It was like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Fortunately, Gu Changge's aura immediately felt and became calm.
'This room is not in the Void that is around us, and only I can connect with it. It's nice! After all, it would not be easy for me to hide the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd if not…'
'If some great person feels his existence on me, I am pretty sure they will forcefully snatch it from me without caring about my background and identity ...'
Gu Changge had no doubts about this.
After the existence of the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd was revealed to the world, many greedy old monsters would come out for it. To them, it was not a weapon of mass slaughter, but a mighty artifact that could increase their strength to a higher level.
The Weapon Storage of this System was a truly unexpected treasure. No matter how powerful an existence was, they would not be able to sense the aura of the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd.
Not only could it completely hide the aura of the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd, but it could also serve as another trump card for Gu Changge. As this thought flashed through his mind, Gu Changge realized that he had many trump cards, but then he remembered that the calamity he was about to face would be even greater.
His greatest concern was the Eternal-Eating Demon Art. As for the Loved Heavenly Princess [3] and the other Enmied Lus, Mus, and Dus in the Upper Realm? He had already thought of a method to deal with it.
He would carefully take care of them after he returned to the Upper Realm.
[3: It was mentioned in earlier chapters that Gu Changge's Dao Bone was stolen from Heaven's Favorite Princess, just in case someone missed or forgot this.]
……
"My lord, please forgive this old slave. This old boy can't do a good job! Miss Ye Liuli's people are holding me back and I can't stop her from breaking through our siege..."
As soon as Old Ming saw Gu Changge return, he knelt on the ground with an expression full of guilt, and begged for mercy.
Now, they had already nearly dealt with the entire wave of ferocious beasts.
However, what shocked Old Ming was the fact that Ye Liuli, who could not wait to stab his Young Master, was now quietly following behind him.
Just what's going on?
"It's okay. It doesn't matter even if he breaks through and rushes to my side. It's not like he can do anything to stop me."
Gu Changge did not care much about the matter, and said, "Let's go back. I've resolved my problems in the Lower Realm, so it's time we Rise back to the Upper Realm."
"As you command, My Lord!"
Old Ming's face showed a serious expression as he heard Gu Changge's words. From the tone of his Young Master's voice, it was clear that he had obtained whatever he wanted to get, and everything went smoothly for him.
Old Ming could not help but feel elated by this realization.
Ye Liuli, on the other hand, showed an ominous expression as she spoke sadly to the followers she brought along.
His pure jade-like face showed lethargy, as if someone had bullied and corrupted him. Aunt Xue and the others could not help but feel perplexed when they saw her appearance.
"Miss, what happened to that brat named Ye Chen?"
Aunt Xue asked.
"He's dead; gu Changge killed him!"
Ye Liuli replied with a sullen tone.
What's?!
Auntie Xue's expression changed, and then she immediately felt pleased. He had thought that his Young Miss would attack Young Master Gu for that Ye Chen, but it seemed that they had not reached that point yet.
As for Ye Chen? Who cares about his death? He deserves it!
As for why her Lady looked so lethargic? His death must have been the cause.
Even though Aunt Xue felt depressed by Madam's condition, she believed that time would erase her pain and restore her to a normal state.
……
As they left the underground ancient city, Ye Liuli and her group did not continue to live with Gu Changge. Gu Changge did not care about them either. Now that his [Great Dao Precious Bottle] was inside his Sea of Consciousness, it did not matter where Ye Liuli fled to.
"My Master, if this old slave is not excessive, then may I ask if you will take that girl, Qiuhan, with you when Naik returns to the Upper Realm?"
Old Ming asked respectfully, on his way out of the Ancient Heavenly Secret Realm.
If Gu Changge wanted to take her, then he could keep her in the Upper Realm. Of course, it was possible that Lin Qiuhan would take care of his Ancestor.
No matter in which world one lived, it was always easier for beautiful women to succeed, compared to old men.
Still, Lin Qiuhan was his descendant, so he didn't need to envy him. If he could surrender himself to his God, then his God would definitely not forget him in the future.
"I really like that girl, Qiuhan, so naturally I will take her."
He had already made plans for Lin Qiuhan's frightening talent for Alchemy, and would take him to the Upper Realm to develop it for his own use.
It just so happened that one of the major Alchemy Inherits in the Upper Realm had yet to discover such an incredible talent, even after searching for so many years. They did not lack resources, but desperately needed talented disciples. They especially needed someone like Lin Qiuhan, whose talent in Alchemy could only be described as 'horrible.'
He predicted that they would be willing to do anything to get it!
Talent with natural Pill Intent and aptitude for Alchemy were mostly born in certain races that were closely related to the spiritual herb ecosystem, so there were not many of them among humans.
Although the Upper Realm was vast with endless territories, and even connected the Small, Middle, and Main Underworld Realms, Humans were not the dominant race.
In the Lower Realm, it was said that there were thousands of races, but in the Upper Realm, that number surged into the millions.
Among humans, Alchemists had a much more noble status than the other cultivators. The human resources they control themselves cannot even be estimated.
Gu Changge only needed to send Lin Qiuhan to them. At that time, there would naturally be someone willing to use a lot of resources and energy to cultivate it, and their Alchemy Inheritance would also owe him a favor.
Lin Qiuhan was already his, so why didn't he gain such a huge advantage?
