Chapter 51 Divine Weapon Pavilion
Atop Misty Mountain.
Curling clouds enveloped layer upon layer, seemingly endless, such that even the blazing sunlight couldn't penetrate the fog.
Above the Wayless Sect Mountain Gate.
Chu Yuan held a huge iron box in one hand and gripped a blood-red longsword in the other, standing on a Magic Cloud with his robes fluttering.
"I'm finally back."
Gazing at the territory of his own sect, Chu Yuan felt a pang of bitterness.
The mana of the Golden Core Realm was just too little.
He rode the Magic Cloud returning from Mirror Lake.
He had to stop no less than five times before making it back.
Chu Yuan didn't understand what was happening.
He always felt as though the box had a mind of its own, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, as if it were deliberately tormenting him...
Chu Yuan's gaze fell upon the box in his hand; he fell silent for a while, then shifted his attention to the blood-red longsword in his other hand.
It must be the sword's fault.
This sword must be some sort of divine weapon!
It was the spirit of the divine weapon that made the box become heavy.
It had to be that.
It couldn't possibly be that every single piece of these scrap iron parts was a divine weapon, right?
Heh.
Are they kidding?
If all these dull-looking things were divine weapons, then he could swallow this entire box in one gulp, without even chewing!
Clearly, there was only one divine weapon.
It was the longsword in his hand!
Chu Yuan looked tenderly at the blood-red longsword in his hand.
He channeled his mana into it.
Hum...
The blood-red longsword suddenly burst into a red glow, illuminating the entire mountain gate.
"What a sword! What a sword! Truly a magnificent sword!!"
Chu Yuan exclaimed repeatedly.
He was in high spirits.
With this divine weapon, wouldn't he be invincible?
Once he returned to the Nascent Soul Realm, with this divine weapon in hand, he would truly become a god slayer, a Buddha vanquisher!!
From the moment he held the divine weapon, invincibility began!!!
However, Chu Yuan was curious.
Why couldn't he leave his mark on this blood-red longsword?
He had read about it in the Basic Cultivation Technique for Early Qi Refining Stage.
Every magical treasure needed to have one's own imprint engraved on it to achieve a harmonious mind with the treasure and to unleash its full power.
Yet, Chu Yuan was unable to leave his imprint on the blood-red longsword.
Chu Yuan himself couldn't figure out why.
Could it be that this blood-red longsword wasn't a magical treasure?
Hah, what a joke.
How could it emit such a dazzling light upon the infusion of mana if it weren't a magical treasure?
"Surely it's because the grade of this magical treasure is too high and it doesn't acknowledge me yet. If I nurture it with more mana over time, it will surely recognize me," he thought.
"Don't think too much about it; just find a place to put away all this scrap metal first."
"I wonder how Zhang Han is doing."
Chu Yuan mused to himself.
The next moment, Chu Yuan stopped pondering, supported the huge iron box, and rode the Magic Cloud once more, flying towards the inner part of the sect.
As he entered the Grand Hall Square of the Sect Main Hall.
Chu Yuan deliberately scanned the area with his Divine Sense.
He noticed that Zhang Han was still at the Hall of Law Transmission reading books.
This raised Chu Yuan's curiosity, but he said nothing and instead flew off in the direction of the back cliff.
...
There were many halls within the Wayless Sect.
Starting from the Grand Hall Square, a series of halls continued on, ending close to the back cliff.
However, most of these halls were closed.
Only the Hall of Law Transmission was open.
Don't ask why.
The answer is simply that Chu Yuan had never collected any resources; those halls were empty, so naturally, they were all closed.
At this moment, Chu Yuan arrived at a hall close to the back cliff.
It would be more accurate to describe it as an attic than a palace.
An extremely simple attic, the surface of which was completely made of a type of wood, constantly exuded an ancient aura, as if this attic had been passed down for tens of thousands of years.
"Is this the place?"
Chu Yuan landed in front of the attic, and the Magic Cloud under his feet automatically dissipated.
He set down the iron box and began to take a good look at the attic.
According to the introduction of the Sect that the System had provided him,
this was the place where the Wayless Sect stored divine weapons and Magical Treasures.
It was named Divine Weapon Pavilion.
One must say, this Sect provided by the System was still reliable.
Just look, just look.
This attic indeed looked the part.
If you stuffed some scrap metal inside,
and claimed that they were all divine weapons, people would definitely believe it!
Chu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, mobilized his mana, and connected with the Wayless Sect's Great Formation Array Diagrams to unseal the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
He stepped inside the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
The moment he walked in, he could smell an odd scent.
Chu Yuan couldn't pinpoint the smell.
It was just strange.
It was like the smell of rotting wood, yet slightly different.
Chu Yuan shook his head and looked ahead.
After entering the attic, a path appeared with 'concave' stone platforms erected on both sides.
Each stone platform was exactly nine meters apart from the next, not a millimeter more, not a millimeter less, as if there was some hidden meaning.
He kept walking forward.
Chu Yuan counted these stone platforms.
There were easily over a hundred of them.
This was more than enough to store these 'pieces of junk'.
Chu Yuan walked all the way to the end.
At the end, there was also a stone platform.
However, this stone platform was more than twice the size of the others and was situated in the center of the end, unlike the other platforms, which were on both sides of the path.
After a quick look around, Chu Yuan stopped scrutinizing and opened the iron box.
Mana surged out like a tide, and he placed all those dull and lusterless weapons onto the stone platforms.
He placed one weapon on each stone platform.
Soon, Chu Yuan had put all the weapons in place.
A few stone platforms were left empty.
However, Chu Yuan wasn't obsessive-compulsive; he simply glanced over them and left satisfied.
All settled.
In the future, the Divine Weapon Pavilion could also be used to deceive people.
He had taken another step on his road to becoming stronger!
"First, I should tell that honest disciple, Zhang Han, to visit the Divine Weapon Pavilion more often, to prevent him from reading too much and turning silly," Chu Yuan muttered to himself.
With a shift in his figure, he drifted away, as graceful as the wind.
What Chu Yuan did not know was, after he left,
the entire Divine Weapon Pavilion was thrown into chaos.
The weapons that were once dull and devoid of light, as if coming back to life, began to radiate dazzling light, and waves of terrifying force started to rise.
These waves of force collided with one another as if comparing something.
A moment later,
all the weapons started to move, exchanging positions with one another.
The scene resembled...
Powerful weapons forcing the weaker ones to yield their places...
A most mysterious scene unfolded.
Finally, taking the place of honor as if the king of all weapons was an old Ancient Bronze Mirror, its surface emitting waves of golden light.
After the positions were sorted, all the weapons once again retracted their various lights, returning to their dull and lusterless state.
The divine hides itself...
