Chapter 1 The Birth of the Artifact
On September 9, 1125, a huge colorful light rose from the volcanic mountain range in the northeast of the mainland soared into the sky, flashing red, yellow, blue and purple, roaring through the clouds and shooting into the vast sky. The white clouds at the entrance of the sky were broken by the colorful light columns soaring into the sky. For a moment, there was no white cloud in the sky around the colorful light.
The colorful light lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and all the creatures in the Flame Mountains were attracted by the light column. An ancient sword-shaped illusion appeared in the light column, which felt very mysterious. Anyone who saw this colorful light vision knew that this was a sign of the birth of the magic weapon.
The monsters not far from the colorful light felt the pressure coming from the colorful light, and they all roared in horror and fled in the forest, rushing away from the colorful light columns.
The four colors are the symbol of the fourth-level artifact. There has been no artifact on the continent for decades. This time the artifact will surely cause a sensation.
The Yanhuo Mountain Range, the moon-looking platform in the back mountain of the weapon refining sect, stood two people at the beginning of the artifact's birth. In front of them was an old man with white hair, who kept moving towards the direction of the artifact's birth.
The old man was covered in silver hair and his waist was draped straight at his waist, and his long-lived eyebrows were also silver-white. Although his face was covered with wrinkles, his eyes were bright and his hands were naturally behind him. His upright body exuded a sense of aura.
The old man named Lianzun is the Supreme Elder of the Weapon Refining Sect. The middle-aged man behind him is about 40 years old. His face is slightly square, but his face is red, his eyes are filled with divine light, and his long black hair is also draped behind him, revealing the aura of a superior, but now he is standing behind the old man, his hands are naturally drooping and his head is slightly lowered. He is obviously very respectful to the old man in front of him. The middle-aged man named Lianfeng is the contemporary sect leader of the Weapon Refining Sect.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man clenched his fists with his hands, and his head suddenly raised his head and said excitedly to the old man in front of him: "Great Elder, do we really have no hope to surpass them? Is it true that the hard work of our weapon refining sect for thousands of years and the hard work of the seniors is really fruitless? When will we persist like this until?"
The middle-aged man was very excited and his tone was also fluctuating. However, the old man had no intention of blame after hearing this, because he knew that the middle-aged man, as the leader of the weapon training sect, was under tremendous pressure, which was the pressure from the ancestors, because every sect leader of the weapon training sect was responsible for leading the weapon training sect to surpass the dwarves.
In the Artifact Refining Sect, in order to become the sect leader, in addition to his powerful strength, good popularity and excellent weapon refining techniques, he must also make a bloody vow to give everything he has to his dream of surpassing the dwarves.
In this way, every sect leader of the weapon refining sect can lead the weapon refining sect to fulfill his great dream of surpassing the dwarfs.
The silver-haired old man turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man behind him. At this moment, he was no longer arrogant, but was so kind and friendly, with a gentle look. The old man naturally knew how much pressure the middle-aged man in front of him was.
Especially at the moment when the Dwarf Artifact was born, the middle-aged man was so overwhelmed by the divine light of the artifact that he was as excited as before.
As the current Supreme Elder of the Weapon Refining Sect, he also has great pressure, but he cannot show it because he is the real pillar of the entire Weapon Refining Sect.
If he falls down and gives up, the prospect that will bring to the weapon refining sect will be a hopeless future, so he cannot fall down. He must make everyone in the weapon refining sect have hope.
"Xiaofeng, I know that you are under great pressure, very painful, confused, and even unable to see hope for progress, but what I want to tell you is that we have not lost hope, we have been improving, and our dreams will come true."
"Think about the efforts of our ancestors, and then think about your blood oath at the beginning. Now you are not representing you alone, but now you represent the entire weapon refining sect. You are the role model of the people of the sect. You must hold on."
The old man's voice became louder and louder. After saying that, the old man was silent for a moment and continued: "For thousands of years, after the efforts of our ancestors, mixed with blood and tears, our clan has developed from an ordinary human blacksmith family to the present. From a young age, we can proudly tell others that our weapon refining sect is not far from the dwarfs.
I even dare to tell the elders of the Dwarf tribe that our weapon refining skills are definitely not much worse than their casting skills, but their conditions are superior to ours.
Moreover, in addition to weapon refining, the alchemy of our weapon refining sect definitely exceeds most of the clans in the Holy Covenant Continent that are famous for their alchemy. This is the result of our struggle for so many years, and this is our pride.
We can proudly tell us the dead ancestors that your efforts have not been in vain." After saying this, the old man turned around and stopped looking at Lianfeng, and continued to look at the direction where the light of the artifact disappeared. It was obvious that he wanted to let Lianfeng overcome this difficulty by himself.
The words of the Supreme Elder of the Grand Elder of the Lien Zun were like a wake-up call that made Lian Feng feel surging. His fists were clenched tighter. Even his fingernails pierced into his palms and dyed red by blood. A voice shouted in his mind: "You can't fall down. You still have the mission assigned by the clan to you. You also have to lead the weapon refining sect to surpass the dwarfs. The magical artifacts belonging to the weapon refining sect will definitely be produced."
Suddenly, Lianfeng bent his knees and knelt on the ground, raised his head to look at the old man in front of him, his eyes full of determination, Lianfeng said, "Thank you for your guidance, I will definitely live up to the expectations of my ancestors. I will do my best to lead the weapon refining sect to continue along the path of my ancestors. What is a magical weapon? In the future, our weapon refining sect will have many magical weapons, and the weapon refining sect will definitely surpass the dwarfs."
"Get up, okay, very good, just think so. Our weapon refining sect has a long way to go. Don't be afraid of bumps and don't be afraid of any setbacks. The beautiful future of the weapon refining sect is waiting for us all." The old man turned his head and looked at Lianfeng who was kneeling on the mountain, looking relieved. It is indeed not easy for Lianfeng to be freed from this blow. The pressure of the master of the sect is really too great.
Lian Feng stood up and thought silently for a moment, looked up at the old man, with a look of wanting to speak but stopping, as if he was struggling violently. Suddenly he seemed to have made up his mind, looked at the old man, and said firmly: "Great Elder, please allow me to use the secret technique of enlightening the spirit for Xin'er."
The elder's face suddenly changed and said firmly: "No, no, I can't. Xin'er is only one year old and now she has no mother again. Moreover, the success rate of the secret technique of enlightening spirit is extremely low. A person who accidentally casts the technique and receives the technique will both die. Even if you succeed, your strength to finally reach the holy level will be dissipated."
"As the leader of the weapon refining sect, whether you succeed or not, the price is too high. Moreover, Xin'er is the child you love so much, and now you have no mother again. Can you make up your mind?" The elder of the elder certainly knew that the spirit-enlightening technique that Lianfeng mentioned was terrible. It was a secret technique to create geniuses, but the price was too high and the success rate was extremely low. At that time, I didn't know which ancestor was recruited into the secret library of the weapon refining sect.
To perform spirit-enhancing techniques, two relatives with the same bloodline must be required. The caster must at least reach the strength above the Saint level, and the recipient cannot exceed five years old. Through the same bloodline, the powerful spiritual power of the caster is used to improve the recipient's system. The most important thing is to open the recipient's wisdom in advance. It is an extremely unparalleled secret technique.
The successful recipient of the technique will get great benefits, while the performer will become an ordinary person, and he will lose the qualification to cultivate any spiritual power and fighting spirit from then on. The most important thing is that the success rate of the spiritual enlightenment technique is less than one percent. The result of failure is likely to be the death of two people. Therefore, the spiritual enlightenment technique is a very expensive secret technique. No wonder the elder flatly refused after hearing Lian Feng's attempt to use the spiritual enlightenment technique.
When Lian Feng heard the elder refuse, he felt warm in his heart, knowing that the elder was not willing to see him and his beloved son take this risk for his own good.
But I have decided to do it, and it is worth taking the risk for the hope of the weapon refining sect. "Great Elder, I have decided to do it. Since I want to contribute to the clan at all costs, I hope my children can do this too.
In order to achieve the goal as soon as possible, I will do this even if I know I will die. I hope the Great Elder can support me." Lian Feng looked at the Great Elder, and his gaze was unquestionable.
Looking at Lian Feng's firm expression, the elder was silent for a while, and sighed, "Okay, since you insisted on letting Xin'er take this risk, I can't stop it." When the elder agreed to his proposal, Lian Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly the elder's tone became firm and said, "Although I agree to let Xin'er take this risk, there is a condition you must agree to, and I will use the spiritual enlightenment technique."
"No, how can this work? Great Elder, you are the only intermediate-level strong man in our weapon refining sect. If you are asked to use the secret technique of enlightening spirits, regardless of success or not, our weapon refining sect will lose a war god. How much loss will this be to our weapon refining sect..."
Before Lian Feng could finish speaking, the elder's eyes flashed, and a pressure from a powerful war god-level powerhouse suddenly emanated. An invisible storm was formed with the elder as the center, rolling up the dust from the underground and spreading it around.
Lian Feng next to him was under the pressure of the Great Elder, and his face turned pale. Although he was now a high-level saint-level powerhouse and one level away from the Great Elder, his strength was 100,800 miles apart.
"Hmph" The elder hummed heavily and took back the pressure of the God of War level. The pressure around Lian Peak suddenly decreased and he let out a long breath. At this time, his forehead was covered with sweat.
"Precisely because I am an intermediate God of War, the success rate of using the Spirit-Starting Secret Technique is at least ten times that of yours. Then, the success rate of using the Heaven-Slaying Pill in conjunction with the magic will be greatly improved."
"And you are the leader of a sect, and you are only forty years old now. You have to keep a useful body and shoulder the responsibility of the weapon refining sect. My old bones have lived so old and are not considered premature after death. Although I am an intermediate level god of war, you also know that our weapon refining sect has low combat power due to its martial arts."
"Besides, our weapon refining sect has not provoked any enemies for thousands of years. Don't worry, I will die without regrets if I can do anything for the weapon refining sect in my old age." The elder said the reason why he wanted to use the spiritual enlightenment technique.
"I'll give you half a year to spend your time with me and use my secret technique in half a year." After saying that, the elder disappeared on the platform strangely.
Seeing the place where the elder disappeared, Lian Feng's eyes were full of respect. He didn't expect that his proposal would actually make the elder take such a big risk for the clan.
