Seeing their attacks were futile, the group of magical treasures was taken aback for a moment. Without further thought, they continued their assault towards the kasaya.
However, no matter how the treasures attacked, the kasaya remained unmoved. This frustrated the treasures, and they began to curse.
"Wasn't the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm so arrogant just now? Why is it acting like a turtle hiding in its shell now?"
"This spineless coward, if you have the guts, come out and fight us one on one!"
"Exactly, you don't even have the courage to fight us treasures alone, yet you planned to rob us?"
The treasures cursed relentlessly, but they knew that such verbal assaults wouldn't harm the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm one bit, as it couldn't hear them.
Thus, while grumbling, the treasures continued to attack, attempting to break through the kasaya and drag out the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm for a good thrashing.
However, just as before, their attacks fell upon the kasaya but couldn't penetrate it, leaving the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm inside unharmed.
Seeing this, Xu Fang pointed at the kasaya, surrounded by the treasures, and said to the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the other two.
"This is the treasure refined from the cocoon of the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm that I told you about, the Silken Kasaya."
Upon hearing this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the other two looked at the Silken Kasaya and nodded repeatedly.
"As Senior said, this treasure is impervious to weapons. With the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm wrapped in it, there's really nothing we can do!"
"Senior's knowledge is indeed vast; we are truly impressed!"
"Of course, Senior's reputation as a treasure hunter in the Primordial Era is not for nothing!"
While the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the other two marveled at the sturdiness of the Silken Kasaya, they also seized the opportunity to praise Xu Fang.
The assembled treasures, however, were not pleased.
"Little Xu, that's enough, stop showing off!"
"Yes, Master, hurry and think of a way to drag out this Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm and beat it up!"
"Quick! My saber is already thirsty for battle!"
The treasures knew the properties of the Silken Kasaya, and any further attacks would be a waste of effort. Naturally, they placed their hopes on Xu Fang, urging him to find a solution.
However, faced with the requests of the treasures, Xu Fang shook his head.
"You are all mature magical treasures. You should learn to solve problems yourselves; don't always rely on your master when something happens!"
Xu Fang spoke, and the treasures were all speechless.
Listen to what he's saying. Is this what a master of magical treasures should say?
Don't all magical treasures act according to their master's wishes? You, on the other hand, are truly acting like a hands-off manager!
Yet, Xu Fang's words left them with nothing to refute. At this moment, the treasures were all thinking, had they spoiled this fellow too much?
Xu Fang did indeed have the idea of training the treasures to fight independently, but more importantly, he genuinely had no way to deal with this Silken Kasaya.
If it were a straightforward battle, it would be fine. With their side having numerous treasures and superior numbers, they could simply push through.
However, he feared that the opponent would not engage in a direct fight but would solely focus on defense.
Such defensive magical treasures, as long as they diligently adhered to their purpose and prioritized defense, were basically unbreakable, like the World-Destroying Black Lotus that was once arrogant and overbearing in the Sea of Blood, and like the Silken Kasaya before them.
Therefore, Xu Fang decided to observe first, letting the treasures attack on their own to see if there were any weaknesses.
Seeing that Xu Fang had no intention of making a move, the treasures had to find a way themselves.
However, the results seemed less than ideal.
"Damn it! This Silken Kasaya can't be dislodged!"
The Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin cursed. Wasn't it said that it could dislodge all treasures below Innate Supreme Treasures? How could this Silken Kasaya be so difficult to handle?
It felt like its track record had been rather dismal all along!
However, everyone soon understood that the Silken Kasaya was refined from the cocoon of the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm and could merge with the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm when necessary. Naturally, it couldn't be dislodged.
"We can't affect him either!"
Treasures like the Six Purity Bamboo, which could affect the senses and consciousness of living beings, declared failure after trying.
Their power could not penetrate the Silken Kasaya and inflict damage on the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm.
Seeing everyone return in defeat, the Heaven-Measuring Ruler pondered for a moment and then stepped forward.
"Silken Kasaya, does it not hurt when we attack you?"
The Heaven-Measuring Ruler decided to take a different approach, opting for diplomacy to deal with the Silken Kasaya.
The treasures' eyes lit up upon hearing this. How had they not thought of this?
"It hurts! It hurts so much!"
A voice rang out, and the Silken Kasaya responded.
Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Measuring Ruler was overjoyed and hastily said,
"Since you know it hurts, then obediently move aside. Isn't it better to suffer less?"
"I wish I could! But this Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm won't let me. It's merged with me now, and I have no control!"
The Silken Kasaya replied, sounding quite helpless.
When had it ever wanted to face a barrage of attacks from these treasures, being tossed around like this?
Even if it wouldn't be damaged, every single blow was a real attack, and it couldn't bear the pain!
If it had the choice, it would have long since fled far away. Who would want to be a turtle hiding in its shell here with the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm!
However, at this moment, the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm was using its divine abilities to merge with it, leaving it powerless to resist its will and forced to silently endure all the damage.
The treasures were immediately disappointed upon hearing this. It seemed this method wouldn't work either!
Xu Fang, upon hearing this, had a flicker of thought, recalling something.
Just then, the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm spoke, its voice emanating from the Silken Kasaya.
"Senior Xu Fang, are you at a loss now? If that's the case, why waste time? Why not let me leave?"
Seeing that no attacks had landed for a long time, the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm rejoiced and began to negotiate terms with Xu Fang.
"Senior, as long as you let me leave, I promise not to leak this matter and tarnish your reputation."
"Otherwise, if you can't do anything to me and I escape, who knows what stories will spread throughout the Primordial Heaven and Earth!"
The Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm saw a glimmer of hope for escape and spoke repeatedly, wishing for everyone to go their separate ways.
Xu Fang laughed upon hearing this.
"If you hadn't made that unnecessary threat, I might have considered letting you go."
"However, since you have threatened me like this, how can I let you leave?"
If not for the subsequent threat, Xu Fang would not have minded letting the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm leave. After all, all the necessary tests had been conducted, and there was no need to waste more time.
However, this Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm, in its cleverness, dared to threaten Xu Fang. This Xu Fang could not tolerate.
Even if you are the destined scripture seeker, I will still try to see if I can kill you!
