"The reason we couldn't lift it before might be because Emperor Wu did something to it. Now that Emperor Wu is dead, we might be able to lift it."
Lin Che consoled himself with the thought that he might as well give it another try.
Because of his battle with Emperor Wu, the entire massive Emperor Wu City fell from mid-air and was shattered into pieces.
This naturally includes the special sacred mountain that exists within the city of Emperor Wu.
When Lin Che arrived at the sacred mountain, he found that it had remained unchanged.
Even though the surrounding cities collapsed, this sacred mountain still fell straight to the ground, and the special array was still in operation.
Lin Che broke through the restriction and began climbing the sacred mountain again.
Upon reaching the summit, one immediately sees the Heaven-Opening Axe, which looks like scrap metal.
What a pity.
There is no option to directly control the Heaven-Opening Axe in the system shop. Apart from "Reforge the Heaven-Opening Axe", the other three options are somewhat useful.
But there's no rush.
For example, one of the particularly expensive items, the "Myriad Races Heavenly Stele," can display the names of all the races of the Myriad Demons Clan, ranked according to their strength.
This is actually a leaderboard.
But he hasn't even unified the entire demon race yet, so there's no need for him to create this ranking.
The third is the [Ranking of Prodigies of All Races], which lists 100,000 prodigies under the age of 60, and their ranking is determined by their cultivation level.
This is still unnecessary.
The fourth one, which Lin Che was somewhat interested in, was the [Multiple Mountain and River Map Avatars]. It could create ninety avatars from the [Mountain and River Map], and as long as the avatars went to unknown areas, they could light up the [Mountain and River Map].
This is clearly necessary for opening the map.
However, it's still undecided who to assign to "open the map" if ninety clones are created.
"Heaven-Opening Axe, you can sense my presence, can't you? I am the true Dragon Emperor, the chosen one. Now I will take you out to conquer all and expand our territory. If you are willing, then come with me!"
Lin Che spoke reverently to the Heaven-Opening Axe, then stretched his body and placed one hand back on the axe handle.
He lifted it with force.
It didn't move!
Then, he unleashed all his strength and pulled hard.
It still only moved slightly.
"It seems that brute force really can't be used."
Lin Che realized that this was because the Heaven-Opening Axe was damaged, which was why he couldn't lift it. Another reason might be that there really was some kind of restriction, and he was forcibly resisting it.
Therefore, Lin Che simply issued an order, allowing Wan Qingsha, Wu Guang, and over a hundred other core cultivators to ascend the sacred mountain.
When Wu Guang heard the news, he could hardly believe it.
"What? They're really letting us climb the sacred mountain? Even my father never allowed me to reach the summit. I never imagined that King Lin would be so magnanimous and broad-minded."
Wu Guang was thrilled and became even more convinced that following Lin Che was absolutely the right thing to do.
Even his own father was wary of him. Lin Che had only ruled Wudi City for a few days, and he had already allowed him to ascend to the top.
What a profound level of trust this is!
The other elders and protectors shared the same sentiment; they had long wanted to know what was on the mountaintop.
These hundreds of core members put aside their work and excitedly climbed to the summit together.
What do you think might be up on the mountain?
"Who knows! I heard before that the thing Emperor Wu cared about most is hidden on this mountain peak... Could it be the goddess he once mentioned?"
"I think it's possible that this is the technique he can use to become a Martial Emperor."
Finally, they reached the summit and saw the Heaven-Opening Axe.
However, one of the white-haired elders frowned the moment he saw the Heaven-Opening Axe, and asked in confusion:
"Huh? How come it's this broken axe? That can't be right! That's strange. I was wondering where this axe went back then. So it was hidden here."
Something's up!
Lin Che immediately perked up; it seemed that calling this group of people was absolutely the right thing to do. Sure enough, some of them knew the origins of this supreme imperial weapon.
Lin Che glanced at the white-haired elder and learned from the system that this old man was named Nan Chuyao. His name was a bit strange, but his loyalty was 100%.
"Elder Nan Chuyao, do you know the origin of this axe? Tell me in detail."
"I never imagined that King Lin would know my name. I am so moved. I am willing to die for King Lin!"
Nan Chuyao immediately began to pledge his loyalty, and then recalled, "I heard a rumor back then, I don't know if it's true or not. The rumor is that this battle axe is an ultimate imperial weapon."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators erupted in an uproar. They never imagined that this battle axe, which looked like scrap metal, was actually an ultimate imperial weapon.
Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?
Nan Chuyao continued, "Actually, such rumors aren't entirely unfounded. At first, none of us believed them, but later, none of us cultivators could lift it, except for one cultivator who had mastered the Dao of Battle Axes. This is clearly consistent with the performance of the legendary Supreme Emperor Weapon. We attacked it with various weapons, and only our weapons shattered, while it remained completely unharmed..."
"Wait a minute." Lin Che stopped him from continuing. "You mean, a cultivator who has practiced the Way of the Battle Axe can lift it? What is this Way of the Battle Axe?"
"Oh, that's it. It means using only one weapon your whole life, and cultivating the Dao of the Axe. Only when you are in harmony with it can you wield it."
"Such an extraordinary person! Quickly, please invite him here!"
