Little Li was completely unaware that someone had their eyes on him.
In the fourth layer of the Divine Edge Cave.
The sharp and fierce aura of the killing edge rippled, with strong winds howling, making the cave sound like it was filled with ghostly cries.
If one’s body hasn’t been tempered and lacks any special technique, they would likely be blown to pieces by the sharp wind in an instant.
The young man’s body remained steadfast.
Through his tattered clothes, one could see the faint glow of his skin, which shimmered like treasure.
“Huu…”
“Su…”
Li Mo, whose physical body was at a breakthrough stage, was akin to a blade being honed.
Under the sharpening of the sharpness, the rust gradually faded away, revealing its brilliance…
Most disciples of the Qingyuan Sect used ordinary weapons.
Only a few inner sect members could possess a fine weapon.
Some obtained theirs from the Divine Edge Cave, while others purchased them outside.
Now, Li Mo’s physical body was advancing toward becoming a fine weapon.
Suddenly.
The scattered aura became even more severe.
The treasure light on Li Mo’s body grew more intense and finally reached a critical point.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and a strong aura flashed in his pupils as he gently exhaled.
Puh—
Opposite him, a small crater appeared in the wall.
A thick breath, like a fine weapon arrow, erupted.
If it hit someone at the initial Qi stage, it could severely injure or even k*ll them.
Li Mo stood up, completely disregarding his tattered clothes. He clenched his fists, feeling the surging power.
Picking up a piece of green stone and applying a little force.
Silently, the stone powder slipped through his fingers.
“A body comparable to a fine weapon.”
“Even a ninth-rank demonic beast would find it extremely difficult to break my defense.”
Li Mo flicked the stone dust off his palm and examined it under the faint light, increasingly satisfied.
Mm, the skin didn’t change color, but it looks whiter?
It’s like it has been smoothed out…
“Thank you.”
Facing the six dark weapons including the Crimson Sky Sword, Li Mo bowed respectfully.
Zzz—
The dark weapons hummed slightly, seemingly in response.
Then, Li Mo walked to the end of the fourth layer of the Divine Edge Cave.
Holding a pearl of light in his left hand, he tapped the stone wall with his right index finger, producing a clear, non-dull sound.
“Hollow?”
Li Mo raised an eyebrow.
Using the light from the pearl, he noticed that the stone wall in front of him had a slight color difference compared to the surrounding walls, as if it were artificially constructed later.
After a moment of contemplation.
Peng—
Li Mo’s fist shot out like a dragon, combining the strength of the eight meridians of the Qi stage with a body comparable to a fine weapon.
The immense force directly caused the stone wall to collapse.
“Indeed, there’s a path!”
Li Mo’s eyes lit up.
But before he could rejoice.
A fierce wind howled, as if countless fine weapon arrows were bursting towards him, the overwhelming killing edge aura seemed to have solidified!
Li Mo: “!”
Greatly alarmed, he quickly began to fully activate the ultimate body technique.
Struggling to open his eyes, he saw that the passage, barely wide enough for one person, had a faint red and blue glow emanating from the other side.
Inside the cave, which was about the size of a basketball court, there were two pools.
One pool looked like molten lava, and the other like ice so cold it pierced the bone, flowing outwards.
At the intersection of the two pools.
An unassuming black hammer stood silently, dividing the water from the intersecting fire and ice pools.
Boom—
Although only the hammer was shaking,
it felt like a thunderous shock that shook the entire Divine Weapon Peak.
With just a glance, Li Mo felt his mind explode.
Faintly,
he saw a burly man with a beard holding a hammer, striking the sword embryo on the anvil, sparks flying everywhere.
Crimson Sky?
Sky Frost?
Could these two dark weapons have been forged by this hammer?
Just as Li Mo thought this,
the scene changed again.
He saw the hammer still held by the bearded man, smashing the head of a mountain-like dragon, which exploded, leaving only the dragon’s horns behind.
He also saw the hammer being wielded by other powerful figures, smashing various powerful beings.
Even with a single strike, it could turn a whole mountain into rubble.
Rumble—
“Not impossible, it feels like a real earthquake.”
Li Mo came to his senses and realized.
That wasn’t an illusion; the entire Divine Weapon Peak was truly shaking!
He hurriedly ran out.
As he ran, a voice inexplicably echoed in his heart.
It wasn’t human speech, but he understood its meaning:
“I am waiting for you.”
Is… that hammer?
…
On Divine Weapon Peak, in the Forging Hall.
Whoosh—
A puff of white smoke rose.
Han He took off his shirt. Despite his aged appearance, his upper body muscles were formidable and terrifying.
He took out the quenched weapon, a three-pointed kn*fe with a bright gleam.
“Master, you’ve forged another famous weapon.”
Murong Xiao relaxed, his eyes full of admiration.
Lately, he had been practicing the Windmill Hammer under Han He’s guidance.
“Sigh, famous weapons.”
“In the past, the peak elders of our Divine Weapon Peak produced many great craftsmen who could forge dark weapons.”
Elder Han He sipped his tea, stroking the newly cast three-pointed spear.
“Master, you will surely be able to do it in the future.”
“I’m old now, it might be too late for me.”
Han He shook his head and then looked hopefully at Murong Xiao.
“You have a half-demon body. If you train hard, maybe you’ll have the chance to wield the Pangu Meteor Hammer someday…”
Before he finished speaking.
Rumble—
The ground shook violently, and cries of alarm echoed.
Elder Han He suddenly stood up, his brows furrowed tightly.
It seemed he had remembered something, and his figure shot out swiftly.
In an instant, Han He appeared at the entrance of the Divine Edge Cave.
“The ground is shaking!”
“Run, run quickly!”
Those still inside the cave rushed out, cursing their parents for not giving them more legs.
Ke Mo also ran out.
His clothes were tattered, looking like a wild man.
Murong Xiao met him face-to-face, noticing his tattered clothes, and hurriedly checked on him.
“Brother Ke, what happened to you…”
“Well, I just accidentally tore my clothes during practice.”
Ke Mo responded, his heart racing.
The commotion today must have been caused by him.
“What’s going on? The elders are all here.”
Murong Xiao said suddenly.
Following his gaze, Ke Mo saw nine figures standing at the entrance of the Divine Edge Cave.
“Master is here.”
Ke Mo realized the seriousness of the situation.
The anomaly in the Divine Edge Cave should have been caused by that hammer.
What level of weapon was it?
“Brother Ke, why don’t you come with me to change your clothes?”
“Sure, that’s a good idea.”
…
After they left, at the entrance of the Divine Edge Cave.
“Could it be…?”
Qian Bufan cautiously asked.
Elder Han He nodded.
“That’s right, it’s the Pangu Meteor Hammer.”
“Why do you look like you’re not a master craftsman? What’s really going on?”
A middle-aged man with a face similar to Yin Huacheng’s seven-tenths spoke.
This was the peak elder of the Divine Beast Peak—Yin Huaxuan.
Shang Wu half-closed his eyes and smiled lightly.
“Old folks always get cranky.”
At this, the other eight elders glared at her angrily.
Han He snorted coldly.
“Shang Wu, don’t speak ill of our ancestral treasures of the Divine Weapon Peak.”
The reason the Divine Weapon Peak was called such was because it possessed a true divine weapon—the Pangu Meteor Hammer.
Even before the Qingyuan Sect was established, it had been stored in the Divine Edge Cave.
Later, only when the peak elders reached the master craftsman level and needed to forge dark weapons would they bring it out.
They could use it but not control it.
Only the sect leader and the peak elders knew about this.
“There’s no need for further discussion, let’s go down and see,” Xue Jing said, stroking his long beard.
The peak elders exchanged glances and all nodded.
Without a word, they proceeded.
Soon.
They arrived at the fourth floor of the Divine Edge Cave, where the dark weapons were displayed.
When they saw the large hole, their pupils shrank involuntarily.
“It seems this hole was blasted open by brute force.”
“There are no traces of inner energy or form manipulation.”
“Who did this?”
The elders looked at each other, seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.
Clearly, none of them had opened this hole.
Just as they were puzzled, they noticed that Elder Han He’s expression was odd.
Then, they all turned to look at the bottom of the Divine Edge Cave, where the ice and fire intersected.
Shang Wu raised an eyebrow and smiled.
“Han He, this ancient hammer seems to have chosen a master.”
Everyone: “!”
Discovering this fact, everyone gasped in shock.
A divine weapon.
Han He’s face trembled, standing there blankly as if he had lost his soul.
“Chosen a master? Who?” Qian Bufan struggled to calm himself.
No one answered.
“This is interesting. To have a divine weapon choose a master but leave it here.”
Yin Huaxuan’s eyes flashed.
“Can’t be because they can’t lift it?”
“No, impossible. A divine weapon wouldn’t choose someone who couldn’t lift it as their master.”
Han He’s whole body trembled uncontrollably, his voice hoarse.
For a moment, the scene fell silent.
After a while, Han He broke the silence.
“I will investigate this matter. If I find any leads, I will report to the sect leader and discuss with the peak elders.”
“Do we need to block up this hole?”
“Mmm, after the sect trial, new True Disciples and Inner Sect members will come to the Divine Edge Cave to select weapons.”
“I think it’s unnecessary.”
“Yes, new disciples probably won’t be able to come here.”
…
After some brief discussion.
The peak elders left the Divine Edge Cave one by one.
Only Elder Han He remained, letting the light of ice and fire project his shadow onto the wall.
After a long time, he sighed despondently.
“You’re unwilling to just be a forging hammer…”
