Chapter 116: Divine Weapon Mace
Old Ji's voice rang out in Zhong Ling'er's sea of consciousness. When he came back, he saw a scene of demons dancing wildly, and he was shocked for once.
"No, they are trying to trick the spirit sword into their hands." This was the answer from the little tower, and then it told Lao Ji what had happened. Lao Ji shook his head speechlessly after listening.
"They are doomed to fail. Sword spirits are very proud and they will compare their sword masters. If they are of the same rank, they will never choose a sword master who is inferior to their companions, otherwise they will be laughed at. For example, Jueying chose Xuanyuan Hongzhi, so the same heavenly rank upper-grade spirit swords will choose their sword masters based on Xuanyuan Hongzhi. If they are weaker than Xuanyuan Hongzhi, no matter how good the conditions are, they will not be shaken."
"So the spirit swords also compete with each other. If this is the case, then doesn't it mean that no spirit sword will be willing to follow me?"
"How could that be? You are different. Those spirit swords cannot see your goodness, but the divine sword is different. Otherwise, how could Cang Yu fall in love with you at first sight?"
Zhong Ling'er was surprised, "What's so good about me? I thought Cang Yu chose me because of my personality charm."
Lao Ji was speechless. Personality charm? Is it your diligence and thriftiness, or your weird ideas?
"You have a very special smell, I can't really explain it, but it just attracts us. Oh, there are six more magic swords in the deepest part of the valley. You can try to subdue them with your personal charm."
"Six magic swords?" Zhong Ling'er's eyes lit up. "Come on, tell me in detail what you found out. Also, where is the sword-testing stone?"
Old Ji waved his hand triumphantly, and a map of the valley appeared in Zhong Ling'er's mind with a big red dot in the middle.
"Qinglong asked me to bring this to you. He said he had something to do and would leave for a while. There is a cave deep in the center of the valley. Inside is the place where a great man passed away. Before he died, the great man left the essence of his lifelong swordsmanship in the cave. The sword energy in the valley also comes from this."
"Qinglong took the sword-testing stone away, and also helped you collect a hundred or so swords that have potential but have not yet come to life and placed them in the sword-testing stone. When the sword-testing stone absorbs the essence of the sword, Qinglong will bring it back."
"Why don't you collect some swords that have come into being?" Zhong Ling'er was very confused. Could it be that the sword-testing stone could not be installed?
"This is a fragment of a small world. If you bring things from here to our world, Heaven will dislike or reject them, especially things with spirituality. Heaven will have some restrictions. If you take a sword with spirituality out, it will be impossible to advance without a special opportunity, but a sword without spirituality will not be affected."
"Those swords can be placed in the Xuanyi Sword Monument to be nurtured first. They will develop spiritual intelligence much faster than other swords. So in the long run, they have more potential than the swords that have been given life here."
So that's how it is. Zhong Ling'er said she learned a lesson. It seems that it was a wise move to bring them in this time.
Bai Luochen and the other three could not walk for more than a quarter of an hour while releasing their sword intent to resist the sword energy, so they quickly found a safe place to rest. Zhong Ling'er found another array base and asked Xuanyuan Hongzhi to destroy it. A large area of the array pattern was extinguished, and the area where everyone could move became larger.
Zhong Ling'er asked everyone to collect the spiritual swords stuck on the ground, and she also emphasized that she also wanted the swords that had rusted and turned into scrap iron. In short, the right thing to do was to clean the ground.
She pulled her second senior brother to a small hill that looked like a hedgehog. Looking at the hill full of swords, Bai Luochen smiled. All these swords combined were not as valuable as a sword with a soul. But since his junior sister wanted it, he could only do his job obediently.
However, a mace on the mountain caught Zhong Ling'er's attention. She remembered seeing a mace at the entrance, which was exactly the same as this one. It couldn't be such a coincidence.
Bai Luochen also noticed this strange and abrupt mace. He scanned it with his spiritual sense and many swords were put into the storage ring, but this mace did not move at all.
He walked forward and tried to pull it hard, but after trying twice, he was unable to move the stick at all.
"Hey, there's actually a magic weapon here."
Old Ji spoke again and Zhong Ling'er was shocked. He wouldn't say that this ordinary mace was a magic weapon, right? There was no spiritual light on it, how could it be a magic weapon?
However, it is a bit abnormal that this stick was lying at the entrance before and is now inserted here.
Zhong Ling'er rolled her eyes and said, "Second Brother, we don't need this stick anymore. Let's collect the other swords."
Bai Luochen nodded suspiciously, knowing that this stick was not simple, but then he thought that none of them knew how to use this weapon, so he just assumed that he had no chance of using it.
The two walked around the mace, but after a while, the mace appeared in front of them again. Zhong Linger walked forward and walked around the mace, touched her chin and said, "It seems that this mace is destined to be with us!"
She stretched out her hand to grab the mace and picked it up easily. Zhong Ling'er was surprised that the mace was taller than her, but it seemed to have no weight. She swung it twice and found it felt very good!
The mace was just the right weight, and didn't look cumbersome at all when danced with. It immediately won Zhong Ling'er's favor.
Carrying the mace on her shoulder, with one hand on the handle and the other on her waist, Zhong Ling'er crossed one leg and tapped the ground with her toes, looking like a bad girl. She asked Bai Luochen, "Second Brother, do you think I look handsome like this?"
Bai Luochen felt it was too shameful to watch, so he slapped Zhong Ling'er on the forehead and said in feigned anger: "Be a lady, this is not right."
Zhong Ling'er stuck out her tongue and carefully examined the mace. She soon discovered the problem. There was a small hole at the top of the mace, and wisps of demonic energy were still emitting from it.
Demonic energy?
"Isn't this a magic weapon?"
Just as Zhong Ling'er finished speaking, an angry voice rang out, "What demon soldier? I am a divine soldier, a divine soldier."
A shadow suddenly appeared. It was a young man in black with an angular face and a very masculine look.
"Are you the spirit of this mace?"
"You can say that, but my previous master called me Black Wolf, so you can call me that too. Also, the reason I have that hole is because my previous master was splashed with a drop of demon blood when he was fighting the demons. It has been impossible to remove it for tens of thousands of years, so it corroded a hole, but I can still use it."
Zhong Ling'er paused and asked cautiously, "Then why did you come to me? Do you have any idea?"
"I think you have a lot of ideas. I want to talk to you and see if you can remove the evil spirit from me, or take me out of this broken world."
Zhong Ling'er was speechless. Why did she always get these broken and damaged things? She had to think about repairing each one of them. It was really tiring.
But asking her to give it up is absolutely impossible. It's a magical artifact. She won't be able to sleep without it.
