âWait for me, my little treasures!â Those qualified to enter jumped into the pit, hoping for the best.
As for the unfortunate ones, they could only stare enviously and wait for the next examination.
It didnât take long before they crowded the area. A few experienced examinees started by channeling their energy and vitality through their merit laws before entering the pit.
Sure enough, one could hear buzzing noises right away. The hasty ones who went in without preparing were hurt by the auras of the weapons below.
They bellowed and bled before running back up. The latter group was protected by their arts so they continued downward.
They also had a target already so they moved with purpose in order to save time and energy.
After all, the offensive energies from these weapons grew stronger the farther down. At a certain level, their barriers built from chaos true energy would falter, resulting in injuries.
âJunior Sister, my goal is Feather and yours is probably a dao lord weapon too. We should work together in order to reach the depth of this place.â Huang Ning invited Qianyue.
He found this to be another potential chance to work with Gong Qianyue and earn her favor.
She didnât answer him and stared at Li Qiye instead: âYoung Master, which weapon do you want?â
Huang Ning became uncomfortable and continued: âJunior Sister, the sword energies below are extremely powerful. Bringing baggage along will be disadvantaâ¦â
He had to stop speaking because he saw her unfriendly glare.
âNot interested, you can go.â Li Qiye smiled and told her.
âVery well, Iâll be back in a little bit.â She found it odd but didnât pry any further.
âJunior Sister, we can definitely work together for two dao lord weapons.â Huang Ningâs eyes lit up after hearing this. [1]
âNo need.â She answered flatly before walking forward.
âPoof.â She roared and a samadhi flame surrounded her for protection. She descended with meteoric speed.
âBam!â A noise alerted everyone and let them know that she had reached the bottom.
The elders smiled, thinking that the number one genius of their sect was fierce indeed.
Huang Ning didnât know what to do because he couldnât do the same thing as her, lacking the same strength.
He eventually activated his physique in order to enter the grave. His pace was solid and smooth, looking like a gallant warrior. The female disciples couldnât get enough of him.
âHow are you going to beat me without entering the grave of weapons?â Zhan Hu asked Li Qiye4.
âBeating you will be as easy as pie.â Li Qiye glanced dismissively at him.
âOkay, Iâll be waiting to see how youâll get out of this then, hmph!â Zhan Hu uttered coldly before entering the grave.
Those ineligible to enter stared curiously at Li Qiye. Everyone knew about the ongoing bet between the two.
How could Li Qiye win without actually entering the grave? However, he looked so calm right now as if everything was within his calculation.
âJust wait and see.â A demon snorted: âSo what if he actually goes in? Senior Brother Zhan Hu will obtain the horn of the heavenly demon. The only way for him to win is to get a dao lord weapon or itâll be a waste of time.â
Li Qiye closed his eyes and let these guys say whatever they wanted, seemingly asleep.
The experts, elders, and even the peak lords high in the clouds were surprised to see this.
They were ready for another miracle from him but he chose not to take any action. A few became disappointed as a result.
âAre you really not trying?â The elder in charge came over and quietly asked him. He actually felt that if Li Qiye were to go inside, the guy would be able to get a dao lord weapon.
He wanted to see the extent of Li Qiyeâs devilishness. This was another opportunity for that. Thus, he came to urge the guy to give it a shot.
âWhatâs the point, just a bunch of crap.â Li Qiye leisurely smiled.
Some experts nearby didnât like this. One protector scowled and said: âRidiculous, there are dao lord weapons in there!â
Li Qiye smiled and didnât defend himself. This only made the experts more annoyed. Their own weapons were being looked down upon by a third-generation disciple.
âCan you win? How? I believe Zhan Hu will be able to grab the heavenly demonâs horn.â An elder became skeptical.
This elder wasnât trying to look down on Li Qiye. He only found it strange because Li Qiye wasnât participating in the bet. What was he trying to do?
Unfortunately, Li Qiye didnât answer.
The elders felt itchy inside out of curiosity but there was nothing they could do outside of waiting.
âBuzz.â Some disciples have obtained weapons in the grave.
âI got a high-level black weapon!â One disciple rushed out to show off what he considered a good result.
âI got one too.â Many excitedly returned and reported back to their seniors.
âBuzz.â A rainbow originated from the pit and soared above.
âLow-level heaven.â An elder slightly raised his brow. Thatâs the first heaven level weapon.
âItâs Junior Brother Jun Qi from Thousand Demons. He got a sword.â This news traveled quickly.
âJun Qi? What cultivation realm?â Many seniors havenât heard of this disciple.
âSilver Carapace.â One guy in the know revealed.
âWhat? A Silver Caparace got a low-level heaven sword?â Everyone found this astonishing.
âSo, so luckyâ¦â Envy and jealousy came next.
Peak lords used weapons of this level. Now, a Silver Carapace cultivator got one too?
In the grave, lower cultivation didnât doom one to a bad result. Fate played a big role here. Jun Qi was a good example.
âMaster, I got an incredible weapon.â A disciple with a huge frame and a pair of ox horns rushed out of the pit.
He was wounded and bloodied, clearly hurt by the sharp energies in there. He didnât give a damn though.
âGood job. You need to work hard from now on to not let down this weapon.â The master was happy for him. In fact, this weapon was better than anything the master had.
He didnât highly value this disciple in the past. This must change from now on.
âPoof!â Suddenly, samadhi flames and the aura of a dao lord rushed upward.
âA dao lord weapon!â The crowd became stirred.
âItâs Senior Sister Qianyue.â Everyone knew who it was right away. They speculated on the weapon itself and thought that she had a high chance of success.
1. I rarely comment on the plot itself but this Huang Ning guy is ridiculous and unbearable. Canât wait till he diesâ¦
