At Tianshan Sword Manor, the Divine Constable stepped onto the peak of Tianshan, gently brushed a speck of snow from his shoulder, and under the guidance of a welcoming Disciple, walked across the perpetually snow-covered sword field into the main hall.
He bowed slightly to the people present:
“Manor Lord Xie, Divine Craftsman Du, long time no see.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Divine Constable Lu, regarding the divine power powder.”
Du Wufeng asked solemnly.
“I didn’t actually do much; today, Lord Gan arrived, and those ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) rebellious members of the Blood Refinement Hall naturally vanished into thin air. This official merely tidied up the aftermath with his subordinates.”
Divine Constable Lu shook his head, sat by the tea table, and, circling the teacup with his finger, said, “This tea is good.”
Du Wufeng frowned.
Divine Constable Lu calmly said, “Besides the Celestial Human Divine Sword, what else could draw Lord Gan here personally?”
Xie Yiding, wearing a square scarf, chuckled, “If Divine Constable likes it, I’ll have a Disciple send a few liang over.” frёewebηovel.cѳm
“How embarrassing.”
Divine Constable Lu, who had been praising the tea without drinking it, then laughed heartily and drained the cup.
“What exactly happened in the suburbs?”
Du Wufeng asked again.
This time, Divine Constable Lu no longer kept them in suspense, choosing his words carefully for a moment before speaking:
“Speaking of this matter, it starts with my Disciple. I transferred her to the northern suburbs to investigate the Blood Refinement Hall...”
Drinking his tea, Divine Constable Lu continued:
“She suddenly sent a message today, and I knew there was a clue. I immediately went with my men to find her and eventually discovered the location of the message was a dilapidated temple.”
“And beneath the temple was a stronghold of the Blood Refinement Hall. My Disciple and several like-minded righteous individuals had already infiltrated the den of thieves, but at that time, thunderclouds gathered, as if someone was Undergoing Tribulation...”
Xie Yiding asked, “How is this related to the Celestial Human Divine Sword?”
“Manor Lord, don’t rush, this official is about to explain.”
Divine Constable Lu nodded and said, “The person who triggered the Heavenly Tribulation was Qianlong’s third, Han Xianzi Ying Bing. She used the Celestial Human Divine Sword to borrow the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, tearing open a gap in the Blood Refinement Hall’s fifth-stage Outer Scenery.”
“How could she be there?”
“Isn’t the Celestial Human Divine Sword in Li Mo’s hands?”
Lu Wufeng and Xie Xuan asked simultaneously.
“God Hammer Little Overlord was in the stronghold. According to him, he had arranged for Han Xianzi to go and rendezvous in advance, but this official, however, feels...”
Divine Constable Lu, having received his benefits, was quite straightforward:
“It seems like Han Xianzi went there herself.”
“After that, Lord Gan arrived and purged the evil. The Blood Refinement Hall did leave a few survivors, and this official still needs to return and interrogate them before I can inform you all.”
“Thank you, Divine Constable.”
“No problem, but this is a matter of the imperial court. My premature disclosure is already inappropriate, so I hope you all will not spread it.”
With that, Divine Constable Lu left a few polite words and departed with his subordinates.
After he left, Du Wufeng spoke sarcastically, his expression hard to describe: “This bird, still saying ‘inappropriate to disclose, do not spread it,’ bah! A scoundrel who won’t act without seeing a rabbit.”
“Brother Du, it’s just a bit of money, it’s not important.”
“This old man just can’t stand his face.”
“In Dijin, those who take money and get things done are already good officials...”
After a few remarks, they returned to the main topic.
The people of Tianshan Sword Manor savored the information they had just received.
What they cared about most was naturally not the divine power powder. This item, like weeds, would grow back, deeply rooted, and they couldn’t rely on Divine Constable Lu for it.
They were interested in the Celestial Human Divine Sword.
“To use the Celestial Human Divine Sword to trigger heavenly thunder, and even bypass Lord Gan, what does this indicate?” Du Wufeng asked, not out of doubt, but out of astonishment.
This was an incredible feat, yet it was a fact.
“This indicates that the God Sword in her hands is no less effective than if Junior Sister Shi wielded it personally, perhaps... even better?”
Xie Yiding gazed at the snow on the peak of Tianshan, his eyelids slightly lowered. This Controlling Mystery expert, even today, subconsciously hid his emotions.
The peak of Tianshan once was not perpetually covered in snow.
It was after Junior Sister’s Yi Jian Shu (Chess Sword Technique) reached Transcendent and she dueled with the Heavenly Chess Sword that sunlight never again shone upon this place, and it remained perpetually snowy.
“Junior Sister once recreated the Celestial Human City realm, just one step away from opening up the heavens and earth. If Ying Bing...”
“Master, the sword is with God Hammer Little Overlord.”
Xie Xuan recovered from his scalp-tingling state, having cursed ‘Li Mo, you really deserve to die’ countless times in his heart.
“...”
Du Wufeng clenched his fist and slammed the table: “This old man was foolish. I should have refused Jiang Yu back then. Forging a hammer weapon for Li Mo, perhaps it would have become the Celestial Human Divine Hammer in the future.”
“By then, one with a Divine Hammer and one with a God Sword, wouldn’t they soar?”
Old Du often regretted this matter lately.
“Anyway, after the Qianlong Assembly, the God Sword will still return to Celestial Human City.”
Xie Yiding shook his head.
“I suspect that kid has a problem with his thinking.”
Du Wufeng seemed to have made a decision:
“I can’t let him continue to go astray on the path of the sword. Later, I’ll pass on all my forging techniques to him. I must make him turn back from his misguided path.”
“I was still fantasizing about a hero saving the beauty, but he’s already the one being saved.”
Xie Xuan looked up at a Forty-five-degree angle. freeweɓnøvel.com
How was he supposed to learn that?
...Buyun Tower.
After Li Mo had cheered for Princess Xiao Jiang in her Dragon slaying, and after allocating some more Martial Arts Comprehension, he finally tested his current physique.
“Indeed, after the Eight Nine Arcane Art reached an introductory level, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form can cover my entire body. Of course, the function of local enlargement is still there; I can still use my Qilin arm in the future...”
“The duration of Indestructible Diamond has also reached five seconds. Now, I can confidently say I’m a five-second real man, but I still need to pay attention to timing.”
“No big deal. In my last life, I played so many games with Barbarian King’s three strikes, no one knows better than me how long five seconds is!”
“Let’s fight the Great Sage again today.”
But the problem was, the starry pestle was gone.
Li Mo couldn’t possibly keep empowering himself with the World’s Power and fight the monkey with his hammer treasure.
“Use a sword?”
This thought, along with the image of Ice Cube descending with her sword, like a Heavenly Immortal, appeared in his mind.
Li Mo hadn’t tried sparring with the Great Sage Projection using a sword, mainly because the result was obvious.
But now that he had obtained the God Sword and seen it shine brightly in Ice Cube’s hands, he had the urge to try.
Just a try, what’s the harm... “Sword, come!”
Little Li Swordsman, with a cold demeanor reminiscent of Ice Cube, beckoned with a casual wave.
“...”
The Yin Yang Dojo fell silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
“Cough, I’m calling you!”
Li Mo called again, and only then did the Celestial Human Divine Sword float over, swaying leisurely.
Gripping the hilt, Little Li Swordsman frowned.
Why did it feel like the Celestial Human Divine Sword had just woken up, limp and unwilling? It completely lacked the sky-shattering Sword Intent and shimmering divine light it displayed in Ice Cube’s hands... Was this the same God Sword?
Li Mo scowled at the sword and said, “Can you be more spirited, perk up? I’m taking you to fight the Great Sage.”
The Celestial Human Divine Sword seemed to have fallen asleep again, still showing no reaction.
Perhaps it yawned; in any case, it remained listless.
“Because my talent is in the hammer Dao, you’re treating me with indifference. As a sword, you shouldn’t forget your roots; you were forged hammer by hammer, weren’t you?”
“...”
“Alright, alright, playing dead, are you? How about now?”
Buzz—
With a sword hum, the Celestial Human Divine Sword perked up.
Because Li Mo was holding the hammer treasure, surging with sharp, murderous Qi and monstrous Evil Qi.
And he had the hammer treasure intimidate the God Sword, threatening to refabricate it if it didn’t behave.
Under the might of the hammer treasure, the God Sword lost its casual attitude and forcibly powered on.
“It actually worked...”
Li Mo’s mouth twitched slightly.
Having a divine weapon intimidate another divine weapon was quite something. Could he really do this at the Qianlong Assembly?
...PS: Some viewers have mentioned Li Mo’s poor sword Dao and his continuous stat allocation.
This isn’t because he has too much Martial Arts Comprehension to burn, but because there is indeed a relevant plot.
The little author has laid a lot of groundwork to set up something big later, right in Celestial Human City. Thank you all for your patience, mwah~
