That burlap sack was a Qiankun bag, and the thing poured out was like a small mountain. The old man and Qu Jianying were both stunned.
"The crystal core of the thirteenth-tier magical beast, the Red Dragon Rhinoceros."
"This crystal bone, these runes contain terrifying water energy. Could it be from the original Kun tribe?"
"This sword, wow, so sharp. This forging method has long been lost. I want this sword."
Qu Jianying looked at the various treasures in the small mountain and was instantly stunned. The magical beast crystal cores, crystal bones, weapons, and bone books here were all extremely ancient and invaluable beyond measure.
Especially some techniques recorded in bone books, which are ancient traditions and hold great research value. Once discovered, they could very well be terrifying treasured arts.
"You can pick whichever you like. Just leave me a small half. I'll go back and arm our Mo Sect disciples." Mo Nian said generously.
"Long Chen, what's with that look?" Seeing Long Chen looking at him with a half-smile, Mo Nian said a bit guiltily.
"Stop talking nonsense. The Alliance Leader talks back to you, and you use this broken sword to fool her. Do you have the nerve to do it?" Long Chen said with utter disdain.
Qu Jianying was startled and couldn't help but look at Mo Nian. Mo Nian immediately felt a bit embarrassed, slapped his forehead, and pretended to suddenly understand:
"Oh dear, if you hadn't reminded me, I would've forgotten. I specially left a gift for the Alliance Leader. Look at my memory."
As Mo Nian spoke, he handed Qu Jianying an ancient, rustic longsword. The sword was covered in dust, even stained with some dirt, and looked somewhat worn.
But as soon as the sword appeared, a fierce aura surged toward him. Even through the scabbard, you could feel its terrifying killing intent. This was a sword that had slain countless terrifying holy spirits.
Qu Jianying carefully took the longsword, glanced at the old man, who nodded, and Qu Jianying pressed his fingers firmly.
"Clang!"
The longsword shot out three inches, its sharp aura causing the space of the hall where everyone was standing to tremble. Within a few inches around the sword's edge, black threads appeared—the aura of the sword's sharpness, tearing through space and creating a strange phenomenon.
Although they had prepared in advance, Qu Jianying and the old man were both startled—the sword was terrifying.
"Qiushui"
As the sword light raged and eased slightly, the old man and Qu Jianying both exclaimed in shock:
"The Qiushui Divine Sword personally forged by Li Qiushui, the founding founder of the Jiuyang Sword Sect."
The old man and Qu Jianying immediately recognized the origin of the long sword. Mo Nian asked, "Is this sword very famous?" Qu
Jianying said solemnly, "Very famous. The founding patriarch of the Nine Yang Sword Sect, Li Qiushui, was a sword master of his generation and once followed the Ziyang Emperor.
But when that dark era arrived, Li Qiushui led her disciples to slay countless powerful beings from another world. Later, it was heard that she and her disciples were trapped in an evil formation and ultimately perished.
After Senior Li Qiushui's fall, none of the disciples retreated; all their combat power was thrown into battle, and even the Innate Realm disciples charged into the battlefield.
In that battle, the Tianwu Continent ultimately won, but not a single disciple of the Nine Suns Sword Sect survived. Such a vast legacy simply vanished.
The world was shocked at the time. The Ziyang Emperor led all the sects of the Tianwu Continent to observe a three-month silence for the Nine Yang Sword Sect before departing.
It can be said that Senior Qiushui is a role model for our generation. Now, seeing her sword, I am deeply moved by the thought of her. After
Qu Jianying finished speaking, he placed the Qiushui Divine Sword above the grand hall and knelt in worship. Even the old man knelt along, deeply respecting these heroic predecessors with chivalrous loyalty and righteousness.
Because their generation grew up listening to their stories, and now, seeing Qiushui Shenjian and thinking of Li Qiushui's heroic spirit back then, Qu Jianying's eyes reddened.
Mo Nian watched the old man and Qu Jianying kneel in respect, leaving him a bit at a loss. He wasn't sure if he should kneel too, but seeing Long Chen standing, he pretended not to bow.
However, Qu Jianying did not blame them, since their living environments were different, and they knew little about history and simply did not understand the emotions of their generation.
"Long Chen, this Autumn Water Divine Sword is a sharp divine artifact. Although it can't compare to the five supreme artifacts, there probably aren't many divine weapons below that can withstand a single strike from her. Take it to Yue Zifeng; it would be a good way to make full use of it." Qu Jian, with great care, handed the Autumn Water Divine Sword to Long Chen.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "Zifeng never wins by relying on sharp blades. The path he takes is different from other sword cultivators." Long
Chen had also once sought a divine sword for Yue Zifeng, but Yue Zifeng refused. He said that his life-bound divine weapon had not yet appeared, that fate had not yet arrived, and perhaps the process of pursuing it was a necessary path for his cultivation.
Therefore, Yue Zifeng always uses an ordinary longsword. Sometimes a sword automatically lands in his hand, and only then does he replace the original one.
Although this Autumn Water Divine Sword is a treasure, Long Chen believes Yue Zifeng won't want it.
"Very well, I'll pass this divine sword to Lingshan later, and let her inherit Senior Qiushui's will." Qu Jian carefully put away the Qiushui Divine Sword, then turned to Mo Nian and asked,
"How did you discover this Qiushui Divine Sword?"
"I discovered it near the core area of the inner city. At that time, there was a bone mountain. I noticed something strange about it, so I dove in.
Within the Bone Mountain, there was a skeleton, sitting cross-legged, with the divine sword resting on it. Then I took the sword. At the time, I didn't know it was Senior Li Qiushui. After the sword was taken, her remains turned to dust. Mo Nian said nervously, not knowing if Qu Jianying would curse him—that would be disrespecting his senior.
Qu Jianying nodded and sighed, "Senior, you have a spirit and asked you to bring out this long sword." "
Could it be that Senior Li Qiushui was ambushed by the City of Wrongful Death back then, and that's why he died?" The old man suddenly said.
When the old man said this, Qu Jianying's expression changed slightly. Legend had it that Li Qiushui was besieged by powerful aliens, trapped in a barrier, and disappeared, but was discovered by Mo Nian in the City of Wrongful Death.
"In the City of Wrongful Death, there must be unknown secrets. The evil path is definitely not a good thing.
The reason Mo Nian was able to return alive was entirely due to the remnants of the imperial seal. The Great Emperor suppressing the City of Wrongful Deaths must have his reasons.
However, Senior Qiu Shui once followed the Emperor Ziyang, and his body was found in the City of Wrongful Death, meaning he was trapped and died inside.
So, let's try another way to estimate it: before Senior Li Qiushui, there was no Imperial Seal suppressing Wangsi City?
If that's the case, then the person who left the Imperial Seal is too obvious. Long Chen pondered for a moment and said.
"You mean that the imperial seal was left behind by the Ziyang Emperor?" Qu Jianying and the old man were startled. Long Chen's reasoning seemed somewhat unreliable, but also somehow made some sense.
"If you want to prove it, that's easy. Mo Nian will take out a few hundred treasures, and we'll distinguish the years. That will make sense." Long Chen looked at Mo Nian and said with ill intent.
Qu Jianying and the old man looked at Mo Nian in shock. Mo Nian was furious and angrily said to Long Chen, "You sound so easy. Where did you get hundreds of pieces?" WellThe City of Wrongful Death is full of terrifying undead. Go steal one for me and see? "
I'm not good enough, but you definitely can. You're an archaeology master, a pioneer exploring the origins of civilization on the Tianwu Continent. Come on, don't keep a low profile—show off your strength!" Long Chen chuckled slyly; he knew Mo Nian too well.
"You're ruthless,"
Mo Nian shot Long Chen a glare, waved his hand, and a dozen weapons fell to the ground. The hall roared, and the space twisted continuously.
"Good grief,"
the old man couldn't help but gasp.
"Invisible Wheel, Heavenly Spirit Umbrella, Ghost King Shield, Tisso's Overlord Spear..." Qu Jianying examined each divine weapon one by one, the more he examined them, the more terrified he felt. These were all famous beings on the Tianwu Continent, and their owners had countless stories passed down.
The owners of these divine weapons were all powerful figures of the same generation as the Ziyang Great Emperor, renowned for their prestige, and were top-tier figures on the Tianwu Continent at the time.
"This Heavenly Spirit Umbrella is a divine artifact of the Nangong family. At that time, their ... Ah, enough talk, let's return this Heavenly Spirit Umbrella to the Nangong family later! Looking at the Heavenly Spirit Umbrella, Qu Jianying shook his head and sighed.
"These powerful beings are indeed of the same generation as the Ziyang Great Emperor as Long Chen said. Therefore, Long Chen's previous calculations do have some merit; that seal should have been left by the Ziyang Great Emperor.
Strangely, though, when the Ziyang Great Emperor suppressed Wangsi City, there was no news at all from the Tianwu Continent, and the Divine Clan, being able to enter Wangsi City, never revealed a single secret to the outside world. The old man's face darkened. He sensed a conspiracy. Even though he wasn't good at playing games, anyone who wasn't a fool knew there was a shocking conspiracy behind it.
"We never regarded Wangshi City as a formidable enemy; we only saw him as a backing and backer for the evil cult. Now it seems we were completely wrong.
The City of Wrongful Death would surely pose a deadly threat to the Tianwu Continent; otherwise, the Emperor wouldn't have left a seal. However, the Emperor left no warning at all, which is truly puzzling. Qu Jianying also looked confused.
"Perhaps Master Tianyu, or the High Priest, should know. Why not ask them for permission?" Mo Nian suggested.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "There's absolutely no need. They know a lot. If they can say something, they never hide it. If they can't say, asking is pointless."
Think about it, something even the Great Emperor hasn't said must be deeply involved. Not to mention that the High Priest might not know, and even if he did, he definitely wouldn't dare to say it.
The current Tianwu Continent is like a maze, which will gradually be uncovered in our generation.
Whether it was the evil path, the divine clan, or the Dan Valley, all were secretive, secretly setting things up. Only we were completely in the dark.
But I don't believe the five great emperors would just watch us perish. If they leave no clues, there's no need for us to guess recklessly.
Now, our Tianwu Continent is gradually entering its most critical moment. Whether we can win, I think, ultimately depends on Mo Nian. "
Look at me?" Damn, don't put such a tall hat on me. What are you looking at me? Mo Nian exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehe, let's see if you're willing to give up and bring out dozens more divine weapons to arm our team." Long Chen chuckled.
"Get lost, that's all." Mo Nian was furious.
