Free Web NovelQianshan Path?” Guangguang repeated Mingxi’s words. “Qianshan Path where birds fly to their end?”
Mingxi shook her head, “Path of the path.”
“Qianshan Path, so why is it called that?”
Guangguang grew even more curious.
“It means that in the future, it will definitely carve a path through any mountain it encounters, hence the name Qianshan Path.”
Actually, this name was changed only after it formed a contract with her; it originally had a very domineering name, called Dark Abyss Lightning Strike.
In comparison, Qianshan Path had no presence.
Guangguang was confused. “Huh?”
“That’s how it expressed it. I also don’t understand where a divine artifact gets such an obsession?”
Mingxi was also speechless when she first heard it.
It was one thing for a divine artifact to have an obsession, but it was such an incomprehensible obsession.
Carving mountain paths.
Simply incredible.
Mingxi could already imagine herself in the future, swinging a large axe like a madwoman, splitting every mountain she saw.
Trembling.
ʅ( ´・∧・｀ )ʃ
“Besides being able to split mountains, what other abilities does it have?”
Mingxi smiled. Although Qianshan Path was a bit peculiar, it still had the presence of a divine artifact. “It lacks none of the basic attributes like sturdiness, sharpness, and defense-piercing. It’s a bit like family with Golden Yuanbao. It simultaneously possesses both dark and lightning attributes.”
The higher the level of an item, the more confidential its functions, let alone a divine artifact.
But Mingxi had absolute trust in Guangguang and Golden Yuanbao Seven, so she naturally wouldn't conceal anything from them and explained the functions of Qianshan Path in detail.
“Shadow Devour: When the axe blade attacks, it absorbs the target’s life energy and converts it into a shield for the wielder.”
“Void Rift: When the wielder delivers a full-power heavy blow, there is a 5% chance to tear space, generating a dark vortex that lasts for 5 seconds. Enemies within the vortex's range are slowed by 50% and take dark corrosion damage every second.”
“Curse Resonance: Enemies wounded by the axe blade will receive a Curse effect.”
“Wrath of Thunder: Each attack comes with chain lightning, dealing 200% lightning damage of a normal attack to the main target, and randomly jumping to 3 additional targets. With each jump, the damage decreases by 30%.”
“Damage Stacking: Wounding an enemy accumulates a layer of Damage Mark. Once 10 layers are full, the wielder can actively unleash 【Sky Punishment Shockwave】.”
“Sky Punishment Shockwave: Area-of-effect lightning blast, with 3 seconds of paralysis (absolutely guaranteed).”
“Lightning Reflection: When the wielder is attacked, there is a 30% chance to automatically counterattack with a bolt of lightning.”
“Slay Tribulation: Special pardon, requires special trigger.”
In addition, in special environments, Qianshan Path can also activate two modes: 【Descent of the Thunder God】 and 【Descent of the Dark Abyss】, expanding its attack range and enhancing its attack capabilities.
“As expected of a divine artifact.”
After listening to Mingxi's introduction, Guangguang, the auxiliary AI of a super divine artifact, couldn't help but praise it from the bottom of his heart.
This Qianshan Path was simply born for battle. With it, his master would completely possess the combat power of a high-level Transcendent creature.
However, “This Slay Tribulation, could it be something your rule text 【Contract】 bestowed upon it?”
Mingxi had also asked Qianshan Path about this question, and its answer was—
“Yes.”
Guangguang, the rainbow fawner, was back online.
“Master, you are truly amazing! To be able to bestow new abilities upon a divine artifact! This Slay Tribulation looks very extraordinary. Perhaps it’s a type of precognitive ability, similar to Jinlan Asura’s belief perception, able to foresee your or Yuanshi Demon Phoenix’s tribulations in advance and directly sever them.”
“It aligns perfectly with the meaning of absolution in 【Contract】!”
“Master, you are divine!”
With an AI butler so skilled at providing emotional value, Mingxi suddenly understood the meaning of the existence of praise groups.
“Ahem, it’s just average, really. The specific situation of Slay Tribulation still needs to be truly triggered before it can be confirmed. Your speculation is almost the best-case scenario, and I think it’s unlikely.”
“Not unlikely, not unlikely! I think it’s very possible, Master! You must have confidence in yourself, and in Qianshan Path.”
Mingxi: “...”
Was she lacking confidence in herself, or in Qianshan Path?
She was being humble!

“Oh, right, Qianshan Path wasn’t formed from Fei Min Ellis’s remains. Instead, it was the culprit that severely wounded Fei Min Ellis and ultimately led to its demise in Linglong Mountain.
However, Linglong Mountain was indeed split into two parts because of it.”
Qianshan Path's consciousness was fully mature and complete; besides being unable to speak and only being able to communicate with her telepathically, it was almost indistinguishable from Golden Yuanbao and the others.
Perhaps due to its lightning and dark attributes, its «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» personality was arrogant, presumptuous, belligerent, irritable, and it had a strong desire for dominance and vanity.
In short, it was definitely not an easy type to get along with.
“According to its account, it was born of nature. When it first gained consciousness, it was merely a piece of Abyss Black Steel.”
Abyss Black Steel was a divine metallic element from ancient legends. It was said to be able to devour the sun, but Mingxi thought this was just Qianshan Path bragging.
If Abyss Black Steel could really devour the sun, why didn't it have the “Devour Sun” ability now?
“One day, the space it was in encountered a world-destroying lightning storm. The storm lasted for many years, and the Void Ancient Tree and Scarlet Sun Flower that grew with it were destroyed by the daily lightning attacks. Their residual life essence dripped onto it; the former became the axe handle, and the latter became the intertwined flower.”
“Mountains and seas change, sun and moon rotate.”
“Millions of years later, it encountered a Transcendent creature, Fei Min Ellis, who was searching for natural treasures everywhere to break through the divine barrier. It was forcibly taken out of its original living space by Fei Min Ellis, but it also severely wounded the latter.”
After Fei Min Ellis died, Linglong Mountain could not bear its weight and sharpness, and was split into two parts. This place was also affected by Fei Min Ellis's Curse and its influence, turning into a strange and dangerous valley.
As for why it eventually split into three parts?
It said it was because it was more suitable for its slumber.
Mingxi felt that this was probably false.
Qianshan Path said that both the Void Ancient Tree and Scarlet Sun Flower were dead.
But what if they weren’t? freēwēbnovel.com
“Cough, truly... a magnificent life.”
After hearing Mingxi’s introduction to Qianshan Path’s long first half of life, Guangguang summarized it thus.
Mingxi: (●’◡’●)
If you can’t praise it, don’t force it.
Her habit of feeling awkward for others was acting up again.
“Ling?”
Lan Yue, Emerald Green, and Bright Crystal returned to Mingxi’s side.
Lan Yue had transformed into a large cat over a meter long. After a stretch, she lay down behind Mingxi, her eight tails curled up, enveloping Mingxi in their fluffiness. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
The situation outside had more or less stabilized. All of their pet beasts were divided into two groups, taking turns on guard.
Golden Yuanbao, Little Silver Flower, and Black Pearl were the first group.
Lan Yue and the other two were in the second group.
Mingxi’s body wasn’t tired, but contracting with Qianshan Path had consumed a large amount of mental energy, which was difficult to recover in a short time, even with Little Silver Flower’s help.
So she simply lay in Lan Yue’s embrace and closed her eyes. Emerald Green and Bright Crystal sat on her left and right, recovering their energy.
She exuded a calm demeanor, as if to say, “Let the floods rage outside, my soul remains undisturbed.”
