"good fortune?"
Upon hearing about the "fortune," Zhou Mu immediately became interested.
What he was really curious about was what kind of fortune Lu Shan could offer him. In terms of the level of cheat codes, although his cheat code was a bit of a rip-off, it was still much more substantial than Lu Shan's ethereal Wentian Tower.
As if by magic, Lu Shan produced a jade human face sculpture from behind his back, meticulously carved from a small piece of jade.
A lifelike human face is engraved on the round little bead. It is so realistic that even the lines on the face are clearly visible, and the wrinkles on the forehead are crisscrossed.
This person looks quite old.
This was the first time Zhou Mu had ever seen such a peculiar jade. He took it and examined it for a long time before looking at Lu Shan with curiosity and saying, "This stone doesn't seem to have anything special about it. Apart from the lifelike human face carved into it, it doesn't seem to have any spiritual energy."
To be honest, Zhou Mu looked at it carefully for a long time, but he couldn't see anything special about the jade human face.
However, he knew that the treasure that Lu Shan presented so readily was certainly no ordinary object.
But he was simply too blind to see anything special about the jade.
Seeing this, Lu Shan immediately showed off, grinning smugly and saying, "Then you wouldn't understand. Watch closely."
He took the jade and held it in his hand. As a milky-white spiritual energy enveloped it, a strange light emanated from it.
He looked at Zhou Mu and smiled, saying, "By injecting spiritual power into it, you can obtain a saint-level weapon, I think it's called the Heavenly Technique Sword. Legend has it that it was a weapon used by the Heavenly Technique Emperor."
"That's an Emperor-level weapon! If this sword weren't damaged and only had one ten-thousandth of its original power left, it would only have become a Saint King-level spiritual weapon. However, if it could be repaired, it would have the potential to become an Emperor-level spiritual weapon."
Zhou Mu stared intently at the light, a hint of excitement appearing on his face.
An Emperor-level spiritual artifact.
Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Even if it is damaged and its power is less than one ten-thousandth of its original strength, it can still become a Saint King-level spiritual artifact.
However, the legendary Heavenly Sword did not appear until the light disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, looking at the dull little stone, Lu Shan felt a little embarrassed. He shook it hard, but there was still no reaction.
"Forehead……"
"Where's the sword?"
Zhou Mu looked at Lu Shan.
Lu Shan gripped the stone with a serious expression, feigning an air of profound mystery. "The time isn't right yet. That's why the sword didn't reveal its true form that day. Hold onto this stone carefully for now, and wait until..."
"You're lying to me?"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Mu jumped up abruptly, his joyful anticipation dashed.
"You're finished..."
He slapped her across the face.
Snap
A crisp slap echoed throughout.
Zhou Mu was stunned, and so was Lu Shan.
"Aren't you going to run?" Zhou Mu asked curiously, looking at his bright red palms.
Lu Shan, covering half his face, said blankly, "You hit me..."
He seemed to be still in a daze, completely bewildered.
Neither of them expected that one would actually slap the other across the face, and that the other would not even try to dodge.
After this little incident, Zhou Mu went to the Sword God Temple.
Outside the hall, a burly guard blocked his way, holding a long sword to either side. He looked at him coldly and said, "This is the Sword God Hall, a place of great importance. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter."
"Zhou Mu of Qingyun Peak".
Zhou Mu said calmly.
The burly guard sternly declared, "I don't know him."
Even though he was just a guard, his position was extraordinary. He stood at the entrance of the Sword God Palace, the number one power in the Desolate Heaven Domain, and the aura of a superior was enough to make him despise everything.
Accustomed to his arrogance, he naturally looked down on this stranger.
Even though he was just a guard, as the saying goes, "a third-rank official before the prime minister's gate," there were still many people who flattered him, a mere guard. As a result, he gradually developed a noble character.
Now that Zhou Mu seems somewhat unfamiliar to them, and doesn't appear to be among those they can't afford to offend, they've gradually become bolder.
Zhou Mu didn't want to argue with a guard, as it would be too beneath him. He said, "Go tell Zhang Tianjian that Zhou Mu from Wentian Tower is looking for him. If he doesn't see me, I will leave immediately and will not cause you any trouble."
He thought that moving out of Wentian Tower would make the burly guards more restrained, but upon hearing this, the burly guards raised their eyebrows and roared, "How dare you! You dare to address the Palace Master by his name? Get out of here immediately, or you'll regret it if you keep arguing with me."
With a tremor of his hand, the long sword slashed out horizontally, its blade gleaming, its cold light flashing in a chilling arc in the sunlight.
This is a blatant threat.
Even with his good temper, Zhou Mu was somewhat angered by this blatant disrespect. He said with a stern face, "I'm speaking to you politely, so don't be so rude. I told you, go and talk to Zhang Tianjian... Palace Master Zhang. If he refuses to see me, I'll leave immediately and won't stay any longer."
He ultimately backed down.
The burly guard snorted coldly, still disdainfully saying, "Get lost. This place is not for lowly scoundrels like you to dream of. If you don't leave, watch out for this knife in my hand."
"Unreasonable".
Zhou Mu's expression gradually turned cold. He flicked his finger, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy poured out, condensing into a small dot that rushed towards the long sword that the burly guard was so proud of.
The burly guard frowned.
"You dare attack me, kid? You dare to trespass in front of the Grand Duke Jupiter? You're asking for death."
The knife then slashed horizontally.
Clang
That cold glint flashed by.
Without any visible movement, the long sword shattered into pieces, the blade separating from the tip.
Suddenly, the sound of clashing weapons echoed throughout.
The burly guard's expression suddenly changed, his hands went numb, and powerful forces surged forth in layers, finally crashing down like a raging storm.
If he hadn't let go in time, the bones in his hand would have been shattered.
The burly guard's pupils contracted as he stared in shock at the somewhat unfamiliar young man, his eyes filled with horror.
The power is so great, it's simply unbelievable.
"It seems I really underestimated you..."
Just when Zhou Mu thought the burly guard was about to continue his attack, the guard's face gradually changed, revealing him to be a middle-aged man.
It was Zhang Tianjian.
Zhang Tianjian smiled slightly, waved his long sleeves, and a powerful sword aura surged out. After a dizzying moment, the two were in a different place, in an ancient-style room.
Looking through the window, it was actually nine stories high.
Zhou Mu was somewhat surprised.
He sensed that the person before him was far beyond the realm of a saint, and perhaps Zhang Tianjian would become the first Saint King level martial artist in the Desolate Heaven Domain.
As long as Zhang Tianjian exists, the Sword God Palace's dominant position in the Desolate Heaven Domain will remain unshakable.
