Chương 89: Xuan Yun Immortal Weapon, Tianya Zhi Chi! This Su Is Blind!

This Su Is Blind!

"Records of Zhu Jian Shanzhuang (Sword Forging Manor): Sixteen hundred years ago, a martial artist forged a sword and, for his achievements, was granted a title by Great Qian. He was permitted to choose one prefecture and establish a sect there."

"For reasons unknown, he chose Tang Prefecture. In the past, Sword Forging ruled Tang Prefecture and founded Zhu Jian Shanzhuang. With Tang Prefecture as its base, its influence spread across Zhelong, Cangyu, and Lingmu Prefectures, making it the foremost among the four great prefectural sects of Yangzhou."

"However, after Sword Forging's fall, Zhu Jian Shanzhuang gradually declined and drew covetous eyes from the other three prefectures. Twenty years ago, war broke out between Zhu Jian Shanzhuang of Tang Prefecture and Haiyan Tang (Sea-Calming Hall) of Zhelong Prefecture."

"The Shura Ghost Granny led the Black Riders and made her name in a single battle. She crushed Haiyan Tang's Sea Dragon Army, slew over ten thousand enemies, and massacred an entire city." … The carriage jolted along. Su Zhe lay there reading. When he reached this point, he murmured,"After that, Tang Prefecture and the other three prefectures—especially Haiyan Tang—became irreconcilable enemies…" Su Zhe slowly closed the book. He let out a long breath of stale air.

"My cheap shifu really is ruthless." Su Zhe sighed. Traveling, traveling, dusty and weary—it was naturally rather boring. The carriage was not moving very fast either. If he truly got fed up, he could get out and practice martial arts for a bit, then use his movement technique to catch up to the carriage. As for Su Zhe, he followed the principle of balancing work and rest. During this period, he had mainly been studying matters related to Tang Prefecture and Bai Jian Shanzhuang (Sword-Worshiping Manor).

Whenever he arrived somewhere new, the first thing Su Zhe wanted was to understand the local customs and legends. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. That was never wrong. Whoosh! The carriage curtain was lifted. Wind and snow poured in.

"Cold! Cold! I'm freezing!"

"Close it already!" Xiao Xunhuan was blasted with a mouthful of wind and snow. He shivered, then cursed at Yu Yi. Su Zhe's eyes swept over. Xiao Xunhuan seemed a little embarrassed and tucked a book under his backside. Su Zhe saw it clearly. The title seemed to be— The Flower Monk Cultivates Joyful Zen. Su Zhe could not help rolling his eyes. Shixiong Xiao was still as vulgar as ever. Unlike this Su, who preferred reading the Spring and Autumn Annals.

In his heart, Su Zhe was full of contempt for martial artists like this, who could never free themselves from such base interests. At the same time, he was also calculating when he could borrow this copy of The Flower Monk Cultivates Joyful Zen and see exactly what it was that had made Shixiong Xiao so obsessed. This Su also wanted to test his own self-control. Traveling under the stars and moon, hurrying for a full month.

At last, they could make out the outline of Sword Forging Mountain City, where Zhu Jian Shanzhuang was located. Zhu Jian Shanzhuang was, after all, the number one sect in Tang Prefecture. You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. After over a thousand years of development, with Zhu Jian Shanzhuang at its core, it had continuously expanded outward. It had long since become the largest and most populated mountain city in Tang Prefecture.

"So majestic! Sword Forging Mountain City—we can finally see it…"

"Even though I've seen it once before, I'm still shaken. This vast world is the place where heaven's chosen must compete!" Xiao Xunhuan and Yu Yi could not help sighing with emotion, speaking straight from the heart. Their eyes sparkled as they looked at Sword Forging Mountain City, and they let out long, heartfelt sighs. All at once, they felt the mountain city's vastness—and their own smallness. The blue mountains stretched endlessly.

Among them stood the ancient city of Sword Forging, towering and majestic, like a pearl refined by a thousand years of time. The city was built against the mountain. Its walls rose high, its bricks and stones were ancient and plain, and a powerful, imposing aura rushed toward them. Pavilions and towers were scattered in layers, with upturned eaves and interlocking brackets, all displaying a grand and magnificent presence. Outside the city was a moat, its water rippling with shimmering light.

Upstream, it connected to Zhu Jian Shanzhuang's Weapon-Quenching Lake; downstream, it flowed toward the four seas. The river was so cold it seemed to freeze the bones, as if it carried the breath of ice essence. When the wind passed, the water rippled faintly, reflecting the shadow of the ancient city. One could imagine the old ancestor Sword Forging choosing this place, establishing his sect here. This land had also been a place countless sects of Tang Prefecture fought over.

It had endured endless flames of war, yet still stood proudly. Su Zhe also looked toward Sword Forging Mountain City. With just that one look, Su Zhe could not help sucking in a breath of cold air. The Fortune Immortal Cauldron in his sea of consciousness began bouncing up and down like it had gone mad. Five-colored profound light surged in and out. The cauldron trembled, rumbling loudly as dao rhythm flowed across it. Su Zhe's sea of consciousness churned like overturned rivers and seas.

His head ached terribly, as if a scorching steel blade had been driven into his brain and was constantly stirring around.

"Has this immortal cauldron… gone insane?" Su Zhe cried out inwardly. Forcing down the pain, he saw words emerge upon the immortal cauldron. 【Name: Tianya Zhi Chi】 【Quality: Xuan Yun Immortal Weapon】 【Description: Unknown】 【Equipment Requirements: Unknown】 【Equipment Effect: Unknown】 【Special Acquisition Method: Unknown】 …

"Xuan Yun Immortal Weapon?!"

"What… what level of treasure is this? Tianya Zhi Chi!"

"The Sword Forging Mountain Range that Sword Forging Mountain City is built upon stretches for ten thousand li—and it's actually a ruler?" Su Zhe's mind shook violently. He was so shocked that words could not describe it. His whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His mind roared, and he could not calm down. This shock came from a challenge to Su Zhe's entire worldview. Previously, after Su Zhe saw his Jade Body shifu fight and kill a wild god, his understanding of this martial world had changed.

He had realized that this world was, at the very least, a high-martial world. But now, through the Fortune Immortal Cauldron, Su Zhe learned that beneath this mountain range stretching ten thousand li was actually suppressing a "Xuan Yun Immortal Weapon." Su Zhe's worldview had been refreshed once again. An immortal weapon… Since it bore the name immortal… did immortals truly exist in this world? Living forever, enduring through the ages; even when time perished, I would not perish.

Sharing lifespan with the heavens, lasting as long as the earth.

"According to what Jade Body shifu said, there are mortal weapons, treasure weapons, spirit weapons… and above those are profound weapons…"

"Profound weapons are generally only held by Grandmaster-level experts."

"If someone below the Grandmaster realm is lucky enough to obtain a profound weapon, their fortune is too thin to bear it and their fate too shallow to sustain it. It will instead bring them fatal disaster."

"Then what exactly is this Xuan Yun Immortal Weapon? Is it above profound weapons?" Su Zhe forcefully suppressed the throbbing in his heart. While soothing the Fortune Immortal Cauldron, he thought to himself.

"No, wait… That day, the Haiyan Tang martial artist who died in front of me also mentioned some dispute over a Xuan Yun Immortal Weapon. He also spoke of the death of Mo Ye, the second true disciple sequence… and the Qin family…"

"What connection is there between all of this?" The Fortune Immortal Cauldron gradually calmed down. However, it remained rather stubborn, continuously sending Su Zhe a divine thought:"I want it." It hoped Su Zhe would obtain Tianya Zhi Chi and place it inside the immortal aperture.

"Don't even mention that you want it. This Su wants it too."

"But right now, Su Zhe hasn't even seen Tianya Zhi Chi's face. How am I supposed to get it?" Su Zhe smiled bitterly in his heart. … Yu Yi and Xiao Xunhuan saw Su Zhe's utterly shocked expression. The two exchanged glances, both unable to hide the amusement in their eyes.

"Brother Su may be the thousand-year fortune of Lu County made flesh, but in the end, he is still human."

"Faced with such a magnificent sight, even he cannot avoid being shaken." Yu Yi smiled as he spoke.

"Not just him… I saw it once before, but even now, I still can't look at it with an ordinary heart."

"This is good too. It makes me feel like this little shidi still has a mortal body after all… Otherwise, I would've started thinking little shidi was omnipotent…" Xiao Xunhuan stretched lazily and spoke in a languid tone. Only, when he said the words "saw it once before," his expression clearly dimmed a little.

"Listen to you two… This Su has never left Lu County in his life. How could I possibly remain steady in front of Sword Forging Mountain City? Coming from a remote place, my horizons are ultimately shallow. In the end, my self-cultivation is still lacking!" Su Zhe heard the two of them discussing him and immediately laughed, brushing it off casually. Xuan Yun Immortal Weapon, Tianya Zhi Chi… Su Zhe's thoughts surged wildly. He knew it. This trip to Zhu Jian Shanzhuang was destined to be filled with storm and waves.

With the Fortune Immortal Cauldron suppressing all divine weapons— This thing ought to belong to this Su. I'll take it!
