Chapter 95: Imperial Dao Divine Weapon

The small tree that Lu Yun planted was, naturally, the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood.

The various types of soil, stones, and weeds he had uploaded had already been snatched up by the enthusiastic members of the group, allowing him to gather enough points to purchase this sapling.

At this moment, after he planted the sapling, it began to grow rapidly.

The sapling, which was originally only half a person's height, suddenly shot up to the height of a person and continued to grow, soon reaching several meters tall with lush branches and leaves, as if it had opened a silver-blue umbrella over Lu Yun's head! The members of the Transmigration Chat Group who were watching the live stream couldn't help but feel bewildered when they saw this scene.

"Is the growth rate of this Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood really this fast?"

"What are you thinking? This is clearly because the environment of the Primordial World is too good!"

"That's right! The concentration of spiritual energy is definitely far beyond other worlds! Besides, Lu Yun just took a hit from the Tribulation Lightning, so there must still be quite a bit of residual Tribulation Lightning power around!"

"I'm actually starting to feel a bit envious of this tree!"

"This live stream isn't perfect enough! Although we can see the Great Desolation now, we can't feel the spiritual energy of the Great Desolation; it's just too depressing!"

While the group members were discussing it, Lu Yun sat cross-legged directly under the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood.

He put on a show of circulating his energy to adjust his breath, but in reality, he quietly opened the two treasure chests he had just obtained: one Ordinary Treasure Chest and one Fine Treasure Chest.

He opened the Ordinary Treasure Chest first, and what came out was actually "Papermaking."

The items from the Ordinary Treasure Chest were not of very high value, but they made Lu Yun's heart stir: "Since the Literature Dao has already begun in the Great Desolation, how can it be without the Four Treasures of the Study?"

Time to make arrangements!

He estimated that if he could tinker with the Four Treasures of the Study, he could earn some more merit! Then, Lu Yun decisively opened the remaining Fine Treasure Chest.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Tai'e Sword!"

Tai'e Sword? Lu Yun looked at the precious sword that appeared in his System Space and couldn't help but feel a bit stunned: "Does this come from another world?"

It is rumored that the Tai'e Sword was the personal sword of the First Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng, and was originally forged jointly by the famous sword-casting masters of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Ou Ye Zi and Gan Jiang.

However, the two sword-casters themselves believed that the Tai'e Sword was a sword of majesty, a sword that had long existed between heaven and earth, originally a formless and traceless sword Qi; they had merely happened upon the right moment, when the timing, geographical advantages, and human harmony all converged, to allow it to condense and manifest in the world.

But in this world, the Human Race was still in a primitive state, so it was naturally impossible for the Tai'e Sword to exist here.

Therefore, it must have come from another world.

Lu Yun had long known that there were many similar worlds among the heavens and myriad realms, but their essence could be vastly different.

For example, they might all be the Great Qin Dynasty and all have a First Emperor of Qin, but one might be an ordinary historical world, another a high-martial arts world, and yet another a Great Qin Divine Dynasty; the differences are huge.

"I wonder what kind of world this sword actually comes from?"

As a legendary divine sword from his past life, even Lu Yun was very curious about it, so he couldn't help but extract it directly.

"Swish!"

A cold light flashed!

A sharp, ancient-looking sword appeared in Lu Yun's hand.

At first glance, it didn't seem very eye-catching, but when Lu Yun gripped it, he felt a domineering and scorching aura circulating within it.

Holding Tai'e in his hand, he actually had a strange feeling as if he were ruling the world.

Lu Yun had already mastered artifact refining, so he immediately judged that the material of the Tai'e Sword was not bad, and the craftsmanship was also quite impressive, but it had not reached the level of a Spiritual Treasure, which left Lu Yun somewhat disappointed.

Thinking about it, it should be the personal sword of a Qin Emperor from some Martial Dao world's Great Qin?

It's a pity; perhaps it is a top-tier divine weapon in a Martial Dao world, but for the Great Desolation, it is too weak, and can only be treated as a collectible.

However, this thing was only opened from a Fine Treasure Chest after all, so it's not strange for it to be at this level.

Just as Lu Yun felt that this object seemed to be of no use to him—

"Boom!"

The Tribulation Cloud above the firmament shook violently, and the second Tribulation Lightning was about to fall! Moreover, the Tribulation Lightning about to fall this time was clearly much more powerful than the previous one.

Lu Yun's heart tightened suddenly, and he prepared to resist the Heavenly Tribulation with all his might.

But just then, something unexpected happened.

"Hum!"

He saw the Tai'e Sword in Lu Yun's hand suddenly vibrate, and it actually transmitted a message to Lu Yun.

It actually wanted to go and block the Tribulation Lightning for Lu Yun!

Lu Yun was very stunned by this.

However, he did not refuse the Tai'e Sword's request.

In any case, even if the Tai'e Sword couldn't block this second Tribulation Lightning, he should be able to block it completely himself, not to mention that he still had the help of the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood.

And so—

"Whoosh!"

The Tai'e Sword in his hand suddenly broke through the air and shot toward the Tribulation Cloud in the sky at high speed!

This scene was something even the members of the Transmigration Chat Group watching the live stream did not expect.

Jiang Ye: "Holy crap! What is Lu Yun doing?"

Xiao Ling'er: "That sword seems to be just an ordinary sword, how could it possibly block the Tribulation Lightning?"

Qiu Wanli: "Strange, why does this sword look so familiar?"

Lin Chen: "Now that you mention it, I suddenly have that feeling too; have I seen it somewhere before?"

In the distance, within the Zhushan Tribe.

The people watching Lu Yun undergo his Tribulation Transcendence were also stunned when they saw this scene.

Duobao Daoren's round face was full of confusion as he said: "What is this member of the Human Race thinking, actually using a mortal sword to resist the Tribulation Lightning?"

When he achieved the Golden Immortal realm in the past, he had consumed many Spiritual Treasures to successfully pass his own tribulation, not to mention that the Heavenly Tribulation Lu Yun was facing now was even more powerful than his own; how could a mortal sword possibly block it?

Guangchengzi, however, laughed out loud and said: "What else could he be thinking? In my opinion, he is just too poor; it's not that he doesn't want to use a better magic treasure, but that he doesn't have one!"

Duobao scratched his head and said, "But even if he has no other magic treasures, wouldn't using his merit golden characters be better than using a mortal sword like this?"

Guangchengzi sneered, "Who knows what he's thinking?"

The sound of the two discussing reached Nuwa's ears, causing her to frown involuntarily.

She suddenly felt a bit self-reproachful; she hadn't expected that Lu Yun's strength had increased so suddenly, and that he might not have any suitable magic treasures to resist the Heavenly Tribulation!

Just at this moment—"Boom!"

The second bolt of Tribulation Lightning from above the firmament had already fallen, crashing down fiercely toward the Tai'e Sword! Seeing this scene, the many great powers present all foresaw the outcome.

In their view, this bolt of Tribulation Lightning only needed an instant to completely shatter the Tai'e Sword and destroy it entirely.

However—

"Boom!"

A brilliant bolt of lightning struck the Tai'e Sword, but the Tai'e Sword suddenly shuddered, and immediately after, a cyan-gold sword Qi erupted from within the Tai'e Sword, actually engaging in a frenzied confrontation with the Extinction Divine Thunder descending from the sky.

Seeing this scene, Guangchengzi, who had just been mocking Lu Yun, was instantly dumbfounded.

"This is... sword Qi?"

"How is it possible? That was clearly just an ordinary sword; how could it emit such a powerful sword Qi?!"

It wasn't just Guangchengzi who was shocked; the others also felt somewhat dumbfounded.

Even the members of the Transmigration Chat Group, although they had already guessed that the Tai'e Sword in Lu Yun's hand was extraordinary, had not expected it to be this extraordinary!

"I remember now! This is the divine sword Tai'e!"

"That's right! This design, isn't it the divine sword Tai'e?"

"But that's not right! How could the Tai'e Sword exist in the Great Desolation where Lu Yun is currently located?"

"Is there a possibility that Lu Yun brought it with him before he transmigrated?"

"That's also impossible! Not to mention that the Tai'e Sword on Earth was rumored to have been melted down into other swords, even if it were still intact, it couldn't possibly block this kind of terrifying Tribulation Lightning!"

Everyone was completely baffled.

Only Lu Yun himself wore a look of sudden realization at this moment.

He knew that what this Tai'e Sword was using to resist the Heavenly Tribulation was the national destiny condensed by the Great Qin of another world!

In a trance, Lu Yun seemed to see the Great Qin in that other world attempting to break its limits, defy the heavens, and create a divine dynasty, but it ultimately failed, and the Tai'e Sword was lost, only to be sent into his hands by the system.

And at this moment, the Tai'e Sword was carrying an unyielding will condensed by countless humans from that other world, blocking this second bolt of Tribulation Lightning for him!

However, no matter how powerful this unyielding will was, it was ultimately too weak compared to the rules of the Great Desolation world; otherwise, the Great Qin of that world would not have failed to establish its divine dynasty.

Therefore, the Tai'e Sword was gradually losing ground at this moment, and it looked like it would soon be unable to hold on.

At the critical moment, Lu Yun made his move.

"Tai'e first leaves its case, its light shooting coldly at the stars."

He directly channeled his Literature Qi, manipulated the merit golden characters, and evolved a Literature Dao Divine Ability! Ten large characters bloomed with brilliant divine light, instantly breaking through the air and landing on the blade of the Tai'e Sword.

In an instant—

"Boom!"

The might of the Tai'e Sword surged a hundredfold! The declining momentum that was about to fail dissipated, turning instead into an unstoppable force.

A terrifying cyan-gold sword radiance shot into the sky, actually shattering the Tribulation Lightning in mid-air and turning it into countless electric sparks that scattered in all directions! Such an astonishing scene immediately left everyone stunned.

The Tai'e Sword, which they had originally thought was mere mortal iron, was actually able to resist the Extinction Divine Thunder after being imbued with the Literature Dao Divine Ability!

A feeling of disbelief suddenly emerged in everyone's hearts.

Duobao couldn't help but swallow hard and said, "The Literature Dao Divine Ability is actually this powerful, and it can even turn decay into magic?!"

The others around were silent.

But clearly, they were also pondering this matter repeatedly.

Especially Xuandu; his gaze was burning, and he could hardly wait to find Lu Yun immediately to exchange insights on the Literature Way Divine Ability!

Only Guangchengzi's expression was extremely ugly.

Compared to the shock brought by the Tai'e Sword and the Literature Dao Divine Ability, he cared more about the fact that he had been slapped in the face by Lu Yun again!

Fortunately, everyone was immersed in their thoughts about the Tai'e Sword at this time, and even those humans were cheering and applauding, their faces filled with excitement and longing, and no one was paying attention to him at all.

This made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief, while at the same time, he couldn't help but feel even more depressed.

Atop the mountain peak.

The Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood was frantically devouring the power of the Tribulation Lightning scattered around, its size still growing wildly, its branches and leaves becoming increasingly lush and shimmering.

"Whoosh!"

The Tai'e Sword in the air suddenly turned into a streak of sword light and landed in Lu Yun's hand.

The members of the Transmigration Chat Group who were watching the live stream all had their gazes attracted by this Tai'e Sword.

Xiao Ling'er: "Eh, this Tai'e Sword seems to have become much stronger!"

Liu Chongxiao: "That's for sure; this sword has undergone a huge transformation after being tempered by the Tribulation Lightning just now!"

Ling Yan: "Now it should have left the ranks of the mortal, and can be called an immortal artifact, or rather, a Spiritual Treasure of the Great Desolation world!"

Qiu Wanli: "Look at the two lines of poetry Lu Yun branded onto it; he used merit golden characters, so it now possesses the characteristics of a merit spirit treasure!"

Lin Chen: "Although for now it is only a lowest-grade Postnatal merit spirit treasure, it is still a merit spirit treasure!"

Chen Hai: "I'm envious! When will I be able to possess such a spirit treasure like Lu Yun?"

Fang Xu: "There is also a Tai'e Sword in the world I am in! The unyielding will possessed by the Tai'e Sword determines that its growth potential is extremely high! If Lu Yun is willing to continue tempering it, it might become a peerless divine sword in the Great Desolation in the future!"

"Ding! Received suggestion: Temper the Tai'e Sword into a Great Desolation divine sword! Reward: One Legendary Treasure Chest!"

Listening to the system notification sound coming from his mind, Lu Yun gently stroked the Tai'e Sword, thinking: If I refine this Tai'e Sword properly, it is indeed possible for it to become a true Imperial Weapon of the Sovereign Dao in this world!

Thinking of some of his ideas for the future of the Human Race in the Primordial World, Lu Yun decided to take advantage of this Tribulation Transcendence Stage to properly improve his own strength while also refining the Tai'e Sword.

Thus, Lu Yun placed the Tai'e Sword directly across his crossed legs, then took out the Sun Star Banner and planted it beside him.

The next moment, he channeled his magic power, connecting with the Sun Star Banner and the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood behind him.

In an instant, rolling power of the Sun descended from the sky, while the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood behind him rapidly gathered surging thunder and lightning power for him! The power of the Sun and the power of thunder and lightning converged upon his body, were channeled by him into the Tai'e Sword, and continuously refined the sword's body, while also being transformed and drawn into his body to become his own magic power! In this way, while cultivating, he completed the nourishment of the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood and the refinement of the Tai'e Sword, achieving multiple goals at once! Seeing this scene, whether it was the group members watching in the live broadcast room, the people of the Zhushan Tribe watching him undergo the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, or the many Great Experts of the Great Desolation watching from afar, all were left dumbfounded.

A member of the Human Race, facing such a terrifying Golden Immortal Tribulation as the Extinction Divine Thunder, not only calmly began to cultivate, but also refined a weapon at the same time! Such a crazy thing, even for existences like Nuwa and Laozi who were born since the beginning of heaven and earth, had never been heard of, let alone seen!

Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun inside Zixiao Palace was completely bewildered at this moment! (End of this chapter)
