Chapter 99.3
Heyo! I'm back. It's been a heck of grueling months. The site I was using before shut down as I was really unable to take care of it, and now it's impossible for me to reinstate the site or retrieve all the translations there. So, I'll just be with Sleepytranslations 🙂 It will take some time for me to transfer all the novels with whatever I was able to save, but I'll be sure to complete what I've been working on.
The moment Liang Guang saw the altar, he excitedly ran toward it immediately. However, he did not reach for the magic artifact and instead looked back at the three people behind him.
Im just here to accompany my Junior brother in his training this time. Knowing what Liang Guang wanted to ask, Shao Qi was the first to make his position clear.
I dont want the magic artifact. Qin Guanhai honestly shook his head. His physique determined that he would become a Divination Master in the future, so he didnt need too many magic artifacts.
I dont want it either. Chen Yu naturally would not want it even more.
Liang Guang knew that no one should give up the magic artifact to him after coming inside, so he would always remember this favor: I wont say anything nice. Whether I can obtain this magic artifact today or not, if there is anything I can do to help you all in the future, I will never complain.
Everyone smiled and didnt delay him.
Liang Guang turned around and took a deep breath at the last barrier covering the magic artifact, then slowly extended his hand.
Shao Qi and Qin Guanhai involuntarily hold their breath, nervously watching the scene and fearing that Liang Guangs cultivation wasnt enough to break the barrier.
Only Chen Yu knew that entering this last barrier relied not on Celestial Masters cultivation level, but on the degree of recognition of the magic artifact to the Celestial Master. If the artifact was unwilling, the moment the Celestial Master touched the barrier, he or she would be ejected from the valley. If the artifact was willing, then the Celestial Master would get the artifact effortlessly.
The moment Liang Guangs finger touched the barrier, it suddenly disappeared. Chen Yu couldnt help but raise an eyebrow. Was this approval?
Liang Guang passed through the barrier smoothly and picked up the magic artifact that was placed on the altar, but before he could examine the appearance of the artifact in detail, he heard a sudden shout from Qin Guanhai behind him, I sense it.
Clang-dang.
A distant bell suddenly resounded in the sky above the barrier, and the young Celestial Masters who had not been eliminated from the barrier raised their heads, knowing that someone had passed the level to get the magic artifact. The bell was telling everyone that the magical barrier was about to close, and they would all be sent out within a few seconds.
What can you sense? Chen Yu grabbed Qin Guanhais arm excitedly.
The second magic artifact is under the altar. The instant the thin barrier shielding the magic artifact disappeared, Qin Guanhai sensed the location of the second magic artifact.
Chen Yu, who got the location, ran in the direction of the altar without thinking.
Fellow Daoist Chen, the barrier will close soon, Liang Guang blurted out to remind her.
Chen Yu ignored him. She took out the compass and threw it into the air. The compass spun rapidly in the air, and then flew into the altar. In a blink, the palm-sized compass broke the half-meter high stone altar.
Holy moly!!!
Before the three people had time to completely show their surprise, they were already ejected by the magical barrier, and only Chen Yu was left alone in the center of the expansive magical barrier.
The three came out from inside the magical barrier and landed at the meeting point in the morning. Many other people were ejected at the same time, and everyone was gathering to discuss who had gotten the artifact. Only Liang Guang and the three searched for Chen Yu in the crowd.
It looks like Fellow Daoist Chen remained inside, Shao Qi confirmed.
Did you guys see anything at that time? Liang Guang was very close and vaguely seemed to see a hole appearing under the broken stone altar.
There seems to be a cave entrance. Qin Guanhais six senses were different from normal people, and he also saw it.
The three exchanged glances and raised their heads to look at the top of the mountain.
Meanwhile, far away in the capital, Lou Ming was sitting in his study in silence, and on the desk in front of him was the Ling Ji Sword that Master Mao had delivered during the day.
Lou Ming raised his hand and gently stroked the formation on the scabbard that had long since been corroded to the point where the patterns could not be seen, and remembered what Master Mao had said in the afternoon.
This sword cant be used. I consulted all Celestial Masters in the capital, but there is no way to hold the sword. Master Maos face was filled with sorrow. It seems that the scabbard has been sealed. Whats worse, because of the age, the array pattern of the spell has long been invisible, but the effect of the seal is still there. We cant analyze what kind of formation this is from the fragmented pattern, so its even more difficult to unravel it.
In other words, this spiritual artifact cant be used yet? Lou Ming asked.
Master Mao nodded. He pondered for a moment and then comforted him, We should not be anxious. Perfected Lou He may have a solution. The Profound Spirit Grand Competition will soon be over, so well think of a solution when he returns.
Lou Mings index finger slowly slid along the patterns on the scabbard, all the way down, and even after passing through those places that had long been corroded without patterns, he still managed to wander with normalcy. If at the beginning he was depicting the lines, then at this point he was drawing something.
Bzz-bzz-bzz.
The sword suddenly trembled. Lou Mings eyes widened in astonishment as he raised his hand to draw the sword.
Shwa! Blinding lights burst out, filling the room with light.
Brother Luo, why cant I pull out your Bronze Sword?
I have a seal set on it, so no one else can draw it except me.
Then set a seal on my Ling Ji Sword too, so that theyll look like a pair.
Thousands of years had passed, and the seal on the Bronze Sword had long been worn out by evil qi, but why was the seal on the Ling Ji Sword still there?
Shwa! Lou Ming sheathed the sword and frowned in deep thought.
The author has something to say.
A zombie bit Young Wu to save the lady.
Lady: Zombie bite wounds are difficult to heal.
Young Wu: Its fine. Itll slowly get better.
The lady felt deeply guilty: Then Ill take care of you during this time.
Young Wu was jumping for joy deep inside.
His master suddenly appeared, looked at the wound, and said with concern: Its a deep wound. Fortunately, I brought the sects elixir.
Before Young Wu could utter a word of refusal, his wound was already healed.
Lady: Im leaving
