Chapter 873

The so-called Heaven-grade divine weapons are, in truth, divine weapons that can already aid martial artists in connecting heaven and earth.

By channeling the primordial force of heaven and earth and infusing it into the divine weapon, a unique spiritual power belonging solely to that weapon can be formed.

This spiritual power is neither true essence nor primordial force; it is a power that belongs exclusively to the divine weapon.

Each time it nourishes its wielder in return, the benefit is considerable.

When battle comes, a single Heaven-grade divine weapon is a presence that can tip the scales of victory.

Generally speaking, a Heaven-grade divine weapon is the nation-protecting treasure of every major faction.

Each Heaven-grade divine weapon, like a nation-protecting enforcer, likewise enjoys the nourishment of dragon qi from its own faction.

Therefore, every Heaven-grade divine weapon is exceedingly precious.

The Heaven-grade divine weapons now coming into view are not only numerous in quantity, but also varied in type.

Blades, spears, swords, halberds, staves, clubs, axes, battle-axes, and even bows, crossbows, tiger-claw knuckles, soft whips and other unorthodox weapons were by no means few.

With so many Heaven-grade divine weapons placed together, their spiritual energy surged forth all at once.

Even these upper echelons of power from the various major factions felt their eyes could not take it all in.

They felt that in all their lives until now, the divine weapons they had seen added together probably still did not match the number of Heaven-grade divine weapons in this second hall.

In their hearts there was both shock and envy.

The shock was naturally that the Qinglong Society's foundation and power had indeed long since far surpassed every other major faction.

How laughable that the sovereigns of the three great dynasties had still plotted to make trouble for the Qinglong Society.

If it were not for the fact that the Great Dragon Head Ximen Wudi was not in the Nine Provinces, given the Qinglong Society's old temperament, they would long ago have bloodily purged every major faction.

After all, so many Heaven-grade divine weapons would be enough to arm every member of the Qinglong Society.

With one in every hand, their combat power would soar.

Add to that the Seven Dragon Heads, several guest ministers, the Four Seasons Protectors, the Twelve Solar Terms, the Twelve Month Hall Masters, and the three hundred and sixty-five branch altar masters — so many experts together.

What faction under heaven could withstand a thunderous strike from the Qinglong Society?

As for envy, that went without saying.

If only so many Heaven-grade divine weapons belonged to one's own house…

No — even if only half, or even a small portion.

One's own strength would surely be worlds apart!

Among them, Wu Zhao watched, and her eyes were even reddening at the rims.

In the Great Tang of that other world she had come from before, she had seen no few divine weapons herself.

Yet the vast majority of those were merely Earth-grade divine weapons, to say nothing of it.

Heaven-grade divine weapons were even rarer to come by.

Who would have thought that after going to such great lengths to reach the Nine Provinces, the moment she set foot on Qinglong Peak she would see this ocean of Heaven-grade divine weapons.

Placed in the Great Tang she originally came from, this was simply unimaginable!

Even though Wu Zhao's self-restraint was remarkable, at this moment her countenance had lost its composure, the expression on her face shifting ceaselessly.

At this moment, amid the envious gazes of these upper echelons of the major factions, one after another members of the Qinglong Society came and carried Heaven-grade divine weapons straight away.

Seeing this, the envy in the hearts of these upper echelons of the major factions grew even stronger.

Although Di Shitian had not been watching them constantly, with his Xin Qiji released outward, every single movement and every tiny shift of expression on these people was wholly clear in his mind.

Seeing these self-styled elites of the major factions so lose their composure,

in his heart he felt both like laughing and an immense pride.

But more than that, he was reminded of his own past.

Back then, when he himself came to the Divine Weapon Hall, he was no better than they were!

After all, though he styled himself a god, his collection fell far short of the Qinglong Society's.

Composing his feelings, Di Shitian said slowly,

"In this second hall are displayed Heaven-grade divine weapons; this hall holds a total of three thousand six hundred and eighteen divine weapons.

However, this hall is one of the most frequently exchanged-in halls among our Qinglong Society members; we should proceed to the next hall for a visit as soon as possible.

So as not to disturb our honored guests."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes…"

Hearing Di Shitian's explanation, these upper echelons of the major factions learned there were over three thousand six hundred divine weapons, and could not help envying until their eyes turned red.

Yet from Di Shitian's meaning, this Heaven-grade divine weapon hall was not the only Heaven-grade divine weapon hall.

Clearly the Qinglong Society's hidden treasures — who knew how many more there were!

Truly so envious!

The thought in everyone's heart was one and the same.

Though they wished to keep greedily gazing at the divine weapons, Di Shitian's words were also right.

This hall saw a constant flow of people; many Qinglong Society members in blue robes were searching for suitable Heaven-grade divine weapons.

If these ordinary Qinglong Society Society members caught them losing composure and it spread abroad, would they still have any face left?

At once they composed their feelings and went with Di Shitian toward the next hall.

The scale of the third hall was clearly much smaller than the second.

But that was only compared with the second!

Compared with the great dynasties, it was no smaller than their main halls by much.

Outside the hall, the bearing was grand and magnificent.

Yet it was nothing like the second hall, where one could feel spiritual power leaking out before even entering.

Standing outside the entire third hall, not the slightest trace of spiritual power could be felt.

"Huh? Could it be that the treasures of this third hall are actually inferior to those of the second?"

Chahetai had already been reluctant to leave the second hall, and now seeing the third hall so strange, he felt even more that he shouldn't have left.

Although continuing to stay in the second hall would, for one thing, make him seem a bit lacking in manners.

For another, those divine weapons were all look-but-don't-touch.

But even just looking was fine, wasn't it!

In this world, how many people had ever seen so many heaven-grade divine weapons?

Wouldn't it be nice to take a few more looks and then go back to the Great Yuan to brag about it?

Coming to this third hall with no spiritual power at all—what for?

675 You're not joking, are you?

"Please!"

Di Shitian stood before the third hall, then gave a light wave of his hand.

Just as with the previous two halls, after a flash of ancient, profound talismans, the great door slowly opened with a heavy, creaking groan.

The crowd immediately, unable to restrain themselves, looked into the great hall.

They had assumed that when the hall doors opened, spiritual power should pour forth, right?

Just like in the second hall!

But they stared eagerly for a long time, and it was just as before the doors had opened.

Apart from the dark, gaping hall entrance, not only could they not see what was inside, there wasn't even the slightest wisp of spiritual power leaking out.

"This…"

At this, even Emperor Wenlong found it strange.

He was none other than Emperor Wenlong of the Yunzhou Imperial Dynasty!

The one who had joined forces with Ao Jue at White Dragon Creek to deal a crushing blow to the people of Dongying was him!

It could be said that half of the divine weapons of the Nine Provinces came from Yunzhou.

As the former Emperor of Yunzhou, Emperor Wenlong had naturally seen his fair share of divine weapons.

Among them, immortal-grade divine weapons above heaven-grade—he had actually seen those as well.

He knew that immortal-grade divine weapons only seemed to be one grade higher than heaven-grade.

In truth, the gap between the two grades of divine weapons was already beyond measure!

This was because immortal-grade divine weapons were truly divine weapons imbued with self-awareness!

Every single immortal-grade divine weapon was a supreme treasure worthy of being passed down through the ages!

Therefore, the aura of immortal-grade divine weapons was not only more restrained.
