Chapter 784: Half Disciple
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The divine weapon shimmered resplendently, the beam of immortal light shooting upwards was so intense that it seemed it could penetrate the dome of heavens. Eventually, the immortal light ceased as a corona of radiance appeared around the weapon, illuminating the area around it.
"How can this be?" Pei Tianyuan and the others had terror on their faces when they stared at this scene.
Only immortals would have corona of immortal light around them. If they walked on the streets and didn’t retract their corona intentionally, the light would illuminate their surroundings turning the darkest night into day.
Divine weapons were the same as well. When immortal-ranked weapons were created, they would shed their mortal forms and glow with the light of immortality.
Not only for Pei Tianyuan, the others in the crowd watched on in incredulous disbelief. Experts from the major powers all had their gazes frozen as they stared at the immortal-ranked long spear in Qin Wentian’s hands.
A third-level ascendant had actually created an immortal-ranked divine weapon?
This scene was unprecedented even in ancient history. Nobody has ever accomplished this before.
"The Nine Immortality Bells truly contained immortal energy within?" The eyes of the people stared at the Nine Immortality Bells. They knew it was impossible for Qin Wentian to accomplish what he did alone, he naturally borrowed the energy within the Nine Immortality Bells to do so. Since Qin Wentian was the first to forge an immortal-ranked weapon among all these geniuses, this meant that he was already connected to the Nine Immortality Bells, connecting immortality through weaponsmithing.
"The so-called ascending to immortality with a single step, was it referring to this?" Qin Wentian was actually also feeling shocked in his heart. He inclined his head and stared at the immortal-ranked weapon in his hands. What he saw was different from others. He could faintly see that within the spear, there was a lofty and towering figure that seemed to hail from the ancient era, exuding boundless might.
"Driftsnow Master, the Nine Immortality Bells contained your soul. Are you trying to say something?" Qin Wentian mused. From that towering figure, he could see endless runic inscriptions radiating from it, they also formed ancient characters that hung in the skies around it.
"Immortal Physique, so the Driftsnow Master had cultivated in a kind of immortal physique art which enabled him to have such a towering body. With his supreme and unparalleled expertise in weaponsmithing, he made use of his body to create immortal weapons. This does also bear some similarity to my Fiendgod Body Refinement Art."
Qin Wentian stared at the ancient characters as his heart trembled. The words were actually a formula for practicing this Forger Immortal Physique Art. If he succeeded in cultivating this, and used it in conjunction with his Fiendgod Heavenly Suppression Art and the Fiendgod Body Refinement Art, how powerful would the might he unleashed be?
"The created product is...an immortal-ranked weapon?"
Cheron who was at the side was struck dumb. He initially only hoped for Qin Wentian to create a unique peak-tier fifth-ranked divine weapon that would surpass Jiang Yan and the rest. But he didn’t dare to imagine that Qin Wentian would actually succeed in creating an immortal-ranked weapon.
The divine long spear shimmered, the corona of immortal light around it clearly indicated its status.
As for Jiang Yan, Nion and the others, their faces were all stunned with disbelief as their countenances paled, staring at this impossible scene in front of them, unceasingly shaking their heads not daring to believe what their eyes told them.
The young man that defeated their combined forces used his comprehension of the runic inscriptions in the surroundings and actually succeeded in forging an immortal-ranked weapon. He would definitely become a legend of the Driftsnow City.
"Spirit manifestation. the Nine Immortality Bells surely manifested its spirit. Today, a legend is born in our Driftsnow City." From afar, citizens of the Driftsnow City personally watched on, all of them gasping in admiration.
Only to see that at this moment, in the air, Qin Wentian slowly stepped out moving towards the long spear. The radiance from the Nine Immortality Bells shone on him and at this very moment, Qin Wentian discovered that it was as though his will had merged completely with that of the Nine Immortality Bells. The will of the bells, were no different from his will.
Within the ancient bells, he could see an ancient city that was covered by snowfall. Every inch of the place was fortified with steel and this city seemed to have flesh and blood, like that of a living creature.
This city was none other than the Driftsnow City of yesteryear. Now, it directly appeared as an image projection in Qin Wentian’s sea of consciousness.
"The essence of the weaponized city was hidden inside the bells. I used the energy of the ancient bells to forge an immortal-ranked weapon, connecting with immortality thereby gaining approval of the city." Qin Wentian realized, he could sense everything within the city clearly. The will of the Nine Immortality Bells was able to control the city while his own will, was the representative of the will of the Nine Immortality Bells.
"Weaponsmithing with the aid of the nine bells, ascending to immortality with a single step." Qin Wentian stated silently.
Right now, he was already confirmed to be a half disciple of the Driftsnow Master.
In addition, the Driftsnow Master was an ancient character and even if his status now was considered to be a half disciple of the Driftsnow Master, it couldn’t be considered breaking the rules of the Heavenly Talisman Realm. He didn’t voluntarily chose to enter the sect of others.
It was because of his experience here which led to him forming an unshakable bond with the Driftsnow Master.
Naturally, without the insights he gained from the Heavenly Talisman Treasured Tome, he would be unable to achieve this today.
Qin Wentian was in a state of self-immersion, this caused the eyes of the experts in the surroundings that were fixed on him to flicker with uncertainty. They were all contemplating the current situation.
It was a reality that this young man had forged an immortal-ranked divine weapon, connecting with immortality through weaponsmithing. As for the boundless runic light circulating around him, did he just undergo some sort of transformation?
What about the secret within the Nine Immortality Bells, has the secret been unraveled by him?
And if it was unraveled, what exactly was the secret within the bells?
There were experts from the Jiang Clan whose eyes gleamed with unconcealed greed. Jiang Yan stood with the other geniuses of his clan, his countenance extremely unsightly to behold. They who were heaven chosen from a sacred ground in the Cloud Prefecture that was focused on weaponsmithing were actually suppressed by an unknown stranger. In front of that young man, the halos of their supposed brilliance dimmed to nothingness. They were nothing but ordinary people in comparison to him.
"He definitely received the aid from the Nine Immortality Bells. This must mean that he has successfully communicated with them." Jiang Yan spoke, reminding the immortals of the Jiang Clan that were present.
This point, not only Jiang Yan thought so. Everyone believed it to be the case. Since this young man had succeeded in forging an immortal-ranked weapon through using the energy of the Nine Immortality Bells, does this mean that he has unraveled the secret hidden within?
At this moment, an expert with a corona of immortal light stepped out. Faint traces of an intense battle intent could be felt within that corona of light as though he was someone who was supremely strong in combat.
The eyes of this man contained a terrifying penetrative power. His gaze was turned downwards, staring at the long spear as well as Qin Wentian. He then asked, "This divine weapon is actually of the immortal-rank. Can I take a look at it?"
Although he was ‘asking,’ his hands already extended outwards as he attempted to grab the long spear.
Qin Wentian abruptly lifted his head, his eyes flicking with gleams of sharpness, "I haven’t agreed. Isn’t it a little inappropriate for senior to take it by force?"
"If you reject my request, this means that you are disrespectful to your seniors." That person coldly laughed. As the sound of his voice faded, his hand that was grabbing outwards manifested a palm imprint that shot straight towards the spear. That palm imprint sparkled with a diamond-like light, appearing as though it was indestructible.
"Senior is an immortal yet you would actually want to bully a junior in such a matter? Are you not afraid of your reputation?" Qin Wentian spoke once again and at this moment, the long spear pierced out through the air, radiating boundless light, smashing towards the gigantic palm imprint. However, the palm imprint suddenly radiated an overwhelming protective force that contained immortal energy within.
"Hmph, didn’t your elders teach you to show respect to your seniors?" That expert snorted coldly. His voice directly rang out in Qin Wentian’s mind, it was akin to thunder going off, causing Qin Wentian’s heart to tremble.
"Are you even qualified to term yourself as my senior?" Qin Wentian mocked. That immortal-ranked spear abruptly lengthened into 30,000 meters. Resplendent immortal light shone from it as an almighty power sufficient to destroy everything could be felt residing within it.
The enlarged long spear explosively continued piercing outwards with a rumbling boom, causing the palm imprint to shatter directly, transforming it into motes of light before the spear sped towards that immortal-foundation expert.
This scene caused the countenance of that expert from the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor to flash with coldness. He gathered his energy and blasted out with both palms, causing the heavens and earth to shake as he repelled the spear away.
"This…" The expressions on the faces of the crowd twitched as they stared thunderstruck at Qin Wentian. He actually wanted to use an immortal-ranked divine weapon to fight with an immortal? Wasn’t this a little too crazy?
Immortal-ranked divine weapons are still divine weapons. Ultimately, they are still external sources of power. How can it truly defend against a real immortal?
However, because this particular weapon was created by Qin Wentian, his degree of control over it was redoubtable. Hence, the might unleashed was also terrifying. If not for this, ordinary Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants basically wouldn’t be able to unleash the power within immortal-ranked divine weapons.
Qin Wentian was different, he used the immortal-ranked weapon to directly defend against immortals.
What made the crowd truly stunned was that Qin Wentian actually dared to make a move against an immortal-foundation expert.
He only had a cultivation base at the third level of Celestial Phenomenon. Even while borrowing the power from the Nine Immortality Bells, immortal-foundation experts could slay him with the ease of turning their palms.
"He must have gone mad, to think that he actually dared to face off against an immortal directly." The spectators from afar gasped. That immortal-foundation expert stared at Qin Wentian, "I just want to borrow your weapon for a look, yet you dared to obstruct me? Do you even still want your life?"
The threat in his eyes was clear to all, gleaming with sharpness as he stared at Qin Wentian. The other spectators naturally wouldn’t object, since there was someone willing to stand out to suppress Qin Wentian, it would only save them trouble from acting themselves and thereby tainting their reputation.
But in fact, although this young man today had forged an immortal-ranked weapon, causing his name to resound throughout and his brilliance to shine dazzlingly, it was precisely because of this that he had no way to remain undisturbed.
Qin Wentian upon hearing the threatening words of the other party, he inclined his head and stared straight at the immortal-foundation expert. His eyes flashed with arrogance as he spoke, "Using your immortal cultivation base to suppress me, you are such a despicable and lowly character that only dares to bully those weaker. Most probably, you are nothing but an ant-like existence among immortals, destined to be trampled upon by all in your entire life!"
