Was there really such a miraculous place in this world? Just a drop of blood on a weapon is enough for a spiritual weapon to recognize its master?
Just thinking about it was incredible.
[And the weapons in the original novel were truly sinister. I hope that under Shuyi’s guidance this time, Hanzhou can obtain a weapon that really suits him.]
[I’m very curious about what weapons the two of them will get. There are so many treasures and spiritual weapons…it’s dazzling! I want them all!]
Everyone’s thoughts at this moment were remarkably aligned…filled with curiosity and excitement.
However, after entering the Ten Thousand Weapons Tomb, Qi Hanzhou faced a recognition trial that was tens of thousands of times more difficult and perilous than those before him.
The wound on his palm tore open further, and blood slowly flowed down the heavy sword, an extremely gruesome and brutal sight.
Even more unbelievably, Qi Hanzhou saw another version of himself within the many illusions.
And a completely different Senior Brother Lin Shuyi.
In that life, not only had he not been personally chosen by his senior brother to stay by his side, but he had been taken in by an elder instead. In the end, he was to be possessed, with a great battle on the verge of erupting.
No matter how he tried to get close to his senior brother, the other party’s gaze toward him was as if he were a complete stranger.
After Qi Hanzhou endured and broke through the gruesome trials, the final illusion then showed Lin Shuyi coughing up blood and dying.
Before his death, he clung tightly to Qi Hanzhou, pleading for him to hand over the weapon.
[What? This illusion trial can play tricks like this? If you can’t defeat our Hanzhou, you resort to psychological warfare? This is a true mind-killer! Using Shuyi to confuse Hanzhou, what should I do?!]
[Don’t give it to him! Don’t give it to him! That’s fake! Shuyi isn’t dead! The Shuyi of this life is the real Shuyi!]
Readers outside the book were already tense, and reaching this point, they were so anxious that they almost broke into a cold sweat. Many jumped up from their beds, too afraid to keep reading.
Because what Qi Hanzhou saw in the illusion was himself handing the weapon to “Lin Shuyi”, but in reality, outside the illusion, he was about to plunge the sword into his own chest while trapped in the illusion.
The scene was completely reversed!
If Hanzhou really handed over the sword, he would die in this Ten Thousand Weapons Tomb.
Wasn’t this trial just too cruel and ruthless? What kind of incredible weapon had Hanzhou obtained to trigger such a trial?
[[But at the critical moment, the previously dazed Qi Hanzhou finally gripped the sword tightly in his hand.
As expected, the “Lin Shuyi” before him, who had been coughing up blood weakly, suddenly revealed a look of resentment and unwillingness in his eyes.
“You’re fake. You are not my Senior Brother.”
For the first time, Qi Hanzhou’s usually cold voice carried an unexplainable, intimidating anger.
No matter how much the appearance resembled him, this could never be his Senior Brother.
Because Qi Hanzhou knew if there was real danger, his Senior Brother would be the first to let him escape while he stayed behind to hold the line. There was no way he would cling to him and beg like this.
Even though Qi Hanzhou had hesitated and doubted countless times why his Senior Brother would unconditionally trust and protect an orphan like him…
In fact, the reaction of this “Senior Brother” within the illusion was the more logical one…
With a fierce and agonized scream, Qi Hanzhou gripped the sword, which had already recognized him as its master through blood, and slashed through the illusion with force. Only then did he realize he was standing before a magnificent, golden palace.
An old man’s voice also echoed in his ears, which was the final message a powerful weapon refinor had left in the Ten Thousand Weapons Tomb before he died.
It turned out that Qi Hanzhou had chosen the old man’s last unfinished masterpiece, a sword named “Nameless”.
Not only that, but after the old man’s phantom form appeared, he even gave Qi Hanzhou a benevolent smile, expressing his desire to take him as a disciple.
“Aren’t you envious of that heavenly spiritual root by your side? Even with such a frail body, he has surpassed your cultivation speed despite your relentless efforts, and now he is about to step into the Golden Core stage.”
“You are only in the early Foundation Establishment stage. If you can’t keep up with him, you will have to say goodbye to him in this life.”
“But if you are willing… Hmm!”
Before the old man could finish his words, his expression suddenly changed with disbelief. He lowered his head to see his own final creation piercing through his heart.
“How did you figure it out?”
The old man looked at Qi Hanzhou, unwilling to accept it. This final illusion was already half real, half fake. The sword truly was his life’s greatest work.
However, he wanted to deceive Qi Hanzhou into making him the sword’s spirit and resurrecting him after taking him as a disciple. He didn’t expect to be exposed.
“Nonsense.”
Qi Hanzhou calmly uttered the word, and with that, the final illusion vanished.
He found himself standing before the Ten Thousand Weapons Tomb once more.
“He’s out!”
Having waited for so long, Lin Shuyi finally looked at Qi Hanzhou with excitement. But upon seeing his bloodied palm with a bone-deep wound, his gaze faltered in distress.
“Wasn’t it supposed to be safe? Why are you so badly injured? The natal weapon only needs a single drop of blood for recognition, what happened?”]]
By the time this chapter was updated, the comment section had already exploded with a new wave of messages.
[Hiss… Although the weapon is powerful, this illusion trial was terrifying. A trap within a trap within a trap?]
[I was scared out of my mind. Fortunately, Hanzhou saw through it. But what about Shuyi? What weapon will he get?]
[Our Shuyi is already weak… He’s not actually going to be in danger, right? Can we just not take this natal weapon, please? TwT]
While shocked by the deadly illusion of the Ten Thousand Weapons Tomb, many fans also started worrying about whether Lin Shuyi would safely obtain his natal weapon, and what kind of weapon it would be.
[[Aunt Mo Yan also looked at the faint tremors rippling through the Ten Thousand Weapons Tomb with confusion and anxiety. It was hard not to associate this disturbance with Qi Hanzhou, who had just been inside.
But the weapon Qi Hanzhou had obtained shocked Aunt Mo Yan even more. “This sword’s power… It actually carries the essence of weapon cultivation from before the ancient qi was exhausted?”]]
But Qi Hanzhou did not explain the origins of the sword to Aunt Mo Yan. Instead, for the first time, he held the person in his arms like a small beast.
‘Was he scared?’
Somewhat surprised, Lin Shuyi merely patted Qi Hanzhou’s back lightly. “As long as you made it out alive, that’s all that matters.”
In fact, the weapons each cultivator gets from the Ten Thousand Weapons Tomb always had a certain mysterious connection to their wielder’s personality.
And looking at the natal weapon Qi Hanzhou had brought out this time, Lin Shuyi thought that this heavy sword, with its straight, upright form, did not resemble anything remotely sinister.
What did that mean?
It meant that in this life, Qi Hanzhou had been raised by him to be an upright person.
But Lin Shuyi, who was in a cheerful mood, was completely unaware that this seemingly righteous weapon had subjected its master to an illusion trial that was increasingly dangerous and horrifying with each level.
In a way, it had indeed become a subtle reflection of Qi Hanzhou’s personality in this life.
And no matter how frantically the readers outside the book worried, Lin Shuyi ultimately walked into the Ten Thousand Weapons Tomb as well.
To be honest, Lin Shuyi himself was quite curious about what kind of weapon he would obtain.
Before entering, Qi Hanzhou had hesitated for a long time before finally making a cryptic remark: “They’re all fake.”
Qi Hanzhou was certain that the version of himself he had seen was absolutely not the kind of person his senior brother would like.
If his senior brother also saw the illusion, would he believe it and hate him from then on?
Lin Shuyi stepped into the Ten Thousand Weapons Tomb with a confused expression, only to keep walking and walking for what felt like an eternity.
“Could it be because of my special identity as a transmigrator? Is that why no weapon has responded to me?”
Lin Shuyi felt slightly disappointed at the thought, but it wasn’t entirely unacceptable.
After all, Qi Hanzhou was the protagonist chosen by the original novel. He was the evil and blackened Long Aotian on an upgrade path, while he himself was just a cannon fodder and minor side character who was supposed to die early. It was probably normal that their fate and luck were different.
But just as Lin Shuyi was about to leave empty-handed, he suddenly realized that, without noticing, he had wandered into a hidden waterfall realm deep within the Ten Thousand Weapons Tomb…]]
[What? Don’t tell me Teacher Fish Soup Noodles really didn’t assign Shuyi a natal weapon?]
Even though everyone had been saying it was too dangerous and asking if he could go without a natal weapon, if he actually ended up with nothing, their feelings would be completely different.
While the readers in the comments section was on edge following the plot, the members of the “Blue Star Expo” magazine club were highly excited:
“How could that be? Teacher Fish Soup Noodles must have prepared a perfect natal weapon for Shuyi.”
Lately, not only had they been involved in gathering information on spiritual weapons, but they had also been assisting Huanyu in compiling materials for the soon-to-be-released natal spiritual weapon archaeological blind box set for “The Vast Immortal Path”.
That’s right, this time, Huanyu was pushing a major innovation.
Every blind box figurine was hidden inside a “soil block” modeled after the Ten Thousand Weapons Tomb. Players would use a small hammer to chip away at the block bit by bit, revealing one of the 108 ancient Blue Star natal cultivation weapons inside.
The natal weapons of the two main protagonists, Lin Shuyi and Qi Hanzhou, would undoubtedly be among the highly sought-after hidden models.
But aside from these two hidden models, there were also exquisite spiritual treasures like the “Gentle Breeze Warm Jade Flute”, the “Stormy Rain Pear Blossom Fan”, and the “Multi-Treasure Filigree Sachet” etc, each crafted with stunning detail and elegance.
Every box came with a complimentary booklet of historical anecdotes, a collaborative effort with “Blue Star Expo”, filled with fun tidbits that allowed players to learn about ancient Blue Star while enjoying themselves.
How could this not sell out instantly? OvO
