Free Web NovelXiao Li was still oblivious to the fact that he had been targeted.
Shenfeng Cave, Fourth Layer.
The sharp Qi of the Soldier Slaughtering Body permeated the air, and the strong winds howled, making the cave sound like ghosts wailing.
If one's Physical Body had not been tempered and they lacked special methods, they would likely be reduced to bone and ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) dust by the sharp wind in an instant.
Yet, the young man’s body remained unmoving.
Through his clothes, which had long turned into rags, one could vaguely see his skin shimmering with a precious glow.
“Huu...”
“Hiss...”
Li Mo, whose Physical Body was in the Breakthrough stage, was at this moment like a weapon undergoing refinement.
Under the grinding of the sharp Qi, he gradually shed his rust and revealed his sharpness...
Most Disciples of Qingyuan Sect used ordinary weapons.
Only a few Inner Disciples could possess a Sharp Weapon.
Some were obtained from Shenfeng Cave, while others were purchased externally.
And now, Li Mo’s Physical Body was approaching the Rank of a Sharp Weapon.
Suddenly.
The diffused Qi abruptly became even more intense.
The precious glow on Li Mo’s body grew increasingly strong, finally reaching a critical point.
He suddenly opened his eyes, a strong sharpness flickering within them, and gently exhaled.
Pfft—
The opposite cave wall actually crumbled, forming a small pit.
A mouthful of turbid Qi, like a sharp arrow.
If it hit someone in the early Qi Blood Realm, it would probably leave them severely injured, if not dead.
Li Mo stood up, completely disregarding his tattered clothes. He clenched his hand, feeling the abundant power.
He picked up a piece of bluestone and applied a little force.
Silently, stone powder slipped from between his fingers.
“A Physical Body comparable to a Sharp Weapon.”
“Let alone a Ninth Rank exotic beast, even an Eighth Rank would find it extremely difficult to break my defense, right?”
Li Mo brushed off the stone powder from his palm, examining it under the faint light, his satisfaction growing.
Hmm, my skin color hasn't changed, but it seems to have gotten lighter?
Like it’s been polished...
“Thank you.”
Li Mo bowed earnestly towards the six Mystic Weapons, including Chixiao Sword.
Buzz—
The Mystic Weapons let out a slight hum, as if responding.
Immediately after, Li Mo walked to the end of the Fourth Layer of Shenfeng Cave.
He held a luminous pearl in his left hand and tapped his right index finger on the stone wall, the sound crisp and not muffled.
“Hollow?”
Li Mo raised an eyebrow.
Using the glow of the luminous pearl, he noticed that this section of the stone wall in front of him had a subtle difference in color compared to the surrounding cave walls, looking as if it had been artificially constructed later.
After a moment of contemplation.
Bang—
Li Mo’s punch was like a Dragon, unleashing the power of eight meridians of the Qi Blood Realm and a Physical Body comparable to a Sharp Weapon.
The powerful force directly caused the stone wall to collapse with a roar.
“Indeed, there’s a path!”
Li Mo’s eyes lit up.
However, before he could rejoice.
A strong wind howled furiously, as if countless sharp arrows were shooting towards him, and the surging sharp Qi of the Soldier Slaughtering Body seemed to have solidified!
Li Mo: “!”
In his shock, he quickly activated the Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body with all his might. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
He tried hard to open his eyes.
He saw a narrow passage, wide enough for only one person, with strong red and blue lights faintly emanating from the other side.
Inside the cave, which was the size of a basketball court, there were two pools.
One pool was like magma, the other like bone-chilling frost, both flowing out of the cave.
And at the junction of the two pools.
A dark hammer stood silently inverted there, diverting the ice and fire pool water that converged at that spot.
Boom—
Only a hammer was vibrating.
But as if the world was shattering, the entire Shenbing Peak trembled.
Just one glance, and Li Mo felt his mind explode.
In a trance.
He saw a burly, bearded man holding the hammer, striking the sword blank on the anvil, sending sparks flying.
Chixiao?
Heavenly Frost?
Were these two Mystic Weapons forged by this hammer?
As soon as Li Mo’s thought arose.
The scene before his eyes changed again.
He saw the hammer still held by the bearded man, striking the head of a Flood Dragon as large as a small mountain. The latter’s head exploded directly, leaving only the Dragon horn.
He also saw this hammer later in the hands of other powerful individuals, smashing various powerful beings to death.
Even one blow could directly turn an entire mountain into dust.
Rumble—
“Oh no, it really seems like an earthquake.”
Li Mo only realized after he woke up.
That wasn't an illusion just now, the entire Shenbing Peak was truly shaking!
He quickly ran out.
As he ran, a voice inexplicably echoed in his heart.
It wasn't human speech, but he could understand its meaning:
“I await you.”
Was it... that hammer?
...
Shenbing Peak, Forging Institute.
Hiss—
A puff of white smoke rose.
Han He took off his upper garment. Although his face was old, his upper body's muscular build was truly formidable and terrifying.
He took out the quenched weapon, a three-pronged spear with a beast-mouth blade, shimmering with cold light.
“Master, you’ve forged another famous weapon.”
Murong Xiao relaxed, his eyes filled with reverence.
He had recently been practicing the Cloak Hammer under Han He’s guidance.
“Alas, a famous weapon.”
“In the past, the Peak Elder of my Shenbing Peak produced many true Grandmasters, and they were all capable of forging Mystic Weapons.”
Elder Han He took a sip of tea, gently stroking the newly forged three-pronged spear.
“Master, you will definitely be able to in the future.”
“I am old, I fear it will be difficult in this life.”
Han He shook his head, then looked at Murong Xiao with anticipation.
“You have the Half-demons Body. If you cultivate well, you might be fortunate enough to wield the Panjie Meteor Hammer in the future...”
Before he finished speaking. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Rumble—
The ground shook, and cries of alarm erupted.
Elder Han He suddenly stood up, his brows instantly furrowed.
He seemed to have thought of something, and his figure shot out fiercely.
In an instant, Han He’s figure appeared at the entrance of Shenfeng Cave.
“The ground is shaking!”
“Run, hurry and run!”
Everyone still inside the cave ran out frantically, wishing their parents had given them two more legs.
Li Mo also ran out with them.
His clothes were ragged, like a wild man.
Murong Xiao walked towards him, and seeing his clothes so torn, he quickly came over to check.
“Brother Li, what is this...”
“Uh, I just accidentally tore my clothes while practicing.”
Li Mo replied verbally, but his heart was in turmoil.
The commotion today was definitely caused by him.
“The Elders have all come, what happened here?”
Murong Xiao suddenly said.
Following his gaze, Li Mo saw nine figures already standing at the entrance of Shenfeng Cave.
“Even Master has come.”
Li Mo realized the seriousness of the matter.
The anomaly in Shenfeng Cave must have been caused by that hammer.
What Rank of weapon was that, exactly?
“Brother Li, why don’t you come with me to change your clothes?”
“Hmm, alright.”
...
After the two left, at the entrance of Shenfeng Cave.
“Han He, could it be...”
Qian Bufan asked tentatively.
Elder Han He nodded:
“That’s right, it’s the Panjie Meteor Hammer.”
“You don’t look like you’ve become a Grandmaster, so what exactly happened?”
A middle-aged man, whose face was seven parts similar to Yin Huacheng, spoke.
It was none other than the Peak Elder of Zhenshou Peak — Yin Hua Xuan.
Shang Wu’s eyes were half-open, and she chuckled:
“Old things just love to throw tantrums, don’t they?”
At these words, the other eight glared at her.
Han He snorted coldly:
“Shang Wu, you must not speak presumptuously about my Shenbing Peak’s ancestral heavy weapon.”
The reason Shenbing Peak is called by this name is naturally because it possesses a true Divine Weapon.
The Panjie Meteor Hammer.
It existed in Shenfeng Cave even before the Qingyuan Sect was established.
Later, successive Elders of Shenbing Peak would only ‘invite’ it out when they reached the Grandmaster level and needed to forge a Profound Weapon.
It was only used, not controlled.
Only the Sect Master and the Peak Elders of each lineage knew about this matter.
“More words are useless, why don’t we go down and see?”
Xue Jing said, stroking his long beard on his chest.
The Elders exchanged glances and all nodded.
No words were exchanged along the way.
Soon.
Everyone had arrived at the Fourth Layer of Shenfeng Cave, where the Profound Weapons were displayed.
Upon seeing the large hole, their pupils couldn’t help but contract.
“This hole, it seems to have been forced open by brute strength?”
“There’s no trace of Inner Breath or Form-Intent being used.”
“Who did it?”
The Elders looked at each other, all seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.
Clearly, none of them had opened this hole.
Just as they were wondering, they noticed that Elder Han He’s expression was a bit off.
Immediately after, they also looked towards the bottom layer of Shenfeng Cave, where ice and fire converged.
Shang Wu raised an eyebrow and said with a smile:
“Han He, this old antique hammer seems to have found its Master.”
Everyone: “!”
Upon discovering this fact, everyone gasped in unison.
A Divine Weapon.
Han He’s face trembled, and he stood silly in place, as if he had lost his Soul.
“Found its Master, but whose?” Qian Bufan tried to calm his emotions.
No one answered.
“This is interesting. It found its Master, yet it’s left here.”
Yin Hua Xuan’s eyes flickered:
“Could it be that they can’t lift it?”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could a Divine Weapon recognize someone who can’t lift it as its Master?”
Han He trembled uncontrollably, his voice hoarse.
For a moment, the scene fell silent.
After a while, Han He was the first to speak:
“I will investigate this matter. If I find any clues, I will report them to the Sect Master and invite my colleagues from the various peaks to discuss it together.”
“Should this hole be blocked?”
“Hmm, after the Sect trials, the newly promoted True Disciples and Inner Disciples will all come to Shenfeng Cave to choose their weapons.”
“I don’t think it’s necessary.”
“Indeed, newly promoted Disciples probably won’t be able to reach here.”
...
After a brief discussion.
The Elders of the various peaks exited Shenfeng Cave one after another.
Only Elder Han He remained standing, allowing the light of ice and fire to cast his silhouette upon the wall.
After a long while, his expression was forlorn, and he sighed faintly:
“Are you unwilling to be just a forging hammer...”
