Book 2: Chapter 42: Famous instrument moves in all directions
Just as the sword, Chang Xiangsi, fell into Jiang Wang's hands, it was like a finishing touch from a divine painter, and the true dragon departed from its axis.
Jiang Wang felt that his hand had always longed for this sword.
He also felt that this sword had always longed for his hand.
In the moment of gripping the sword, he felt that his swordsmanship was complete. At this moment, he knew what the sword he swung in the Tianfu Secret Realm was.
Because that sword had already taken shape in his heart.
All exhaustion vanished.
If it weren't for the presence of the sword furnace, he would almost have wanted to roar and dance with the sword.
Until he held Chang Xiangsi in his hand, his spirit and energy merged into one, and this sword was truly forged.
Buzz.
Clang!The sword hummed on its own.
The sound of Chang Xiangsi seemed like a proclamation.
At this moment, the massive sword formation guarding the Lian Clan's sword furnace began to stir.
Countless broken swords emitted a sword cry.
It seemed like they were cheering and rejoicing, yet also unwilling to fade away.
The sword light was like stars, the sword aura was like a sharp edge.
The sword energy soared into the sky, and the sword howl echoed in all directions!
The entire Lian Clan, no, the entire Nan Yao City was in an uproar.
The sword formation resonated on its own.
This was the sign of a divine weapon being born.
As the historical records say, "Only power and reputation cannot be given to others, they are what the ruler should possess."
This sentence means that only power should never be given to others, and the ruler should use it for their own benefit.
The external appearance and the prestigious title are both manifestations of supreme power.
In the field of weapon forging, only the most outstanding weapons can be called "divine weapons".
They often have the ability to be passed down through the ages, symbolizing the highest achievement of a weapon forger.
Since the establishment of the Lian Clan in Nan Yao City, only three divine weapons have been produced from the sword furnace.
Including the knife furnace and the spear furnace. (The Lian Clan only kept these three ancient furnaces.)
And the others forged from non-ancient furnaces.
In the hundreds of years, only twelve divine weapons have been produced.
These twelve divine weapons have made the Lian Clan one of the five holy lands of weapon forging.
And now, the third divine weapon from the sword furnace has appeared, the thirteenth divine weapon of the Lian Clan!
The entire city was boiling!
Just as the divine weapon was born and the sword formation resonated.
Lian Que suddenly burst into laughter, feeling extremely delighted.
His spirit, energy, and mind were condensed to the utmost at this moment, and he was like a furnace, exuding a powerful aura.
The fire in the sword furnace also rose, as if responding to him.
Behind him, in the void, a portal appeared.
It was the Gate of Heaven and Earth!
Outsiders could only vaguely see it.
Most of the time, only the person themselves could clearly see the specific appearance of the Gate of Heaven and Earth.
At this moment, the portal opened with a bang!
The primordial energy surged and boiled, as if a fire that would never be extinguished was ignited within Lian Que's body.
He actually used the opportunity of forging a divine weapon to push open the Gate of Heaven and Earth!
Jiang Wang, on the side, faintly heard the sound of a dragon's roar.
That was Lian Que crossing the barrier of Heaven and Earth, the dragon soaring in the Dao meridians, entering the sea within the body.
The human body has four seas, with the spinal sea being the first sea. When the Dao meridians overlap with the spinal sea, the first sea is directly referred to as the Heavenly Palace. Of course, the Heavenly Palace will "soar the dragon" and enter the second sea.
The trunk sea is the second sea, also known as the Five Organs Palace.
This realm is the realm of soaring dragons. When cultivators reach this realm, they are like divine dragons soaring in the abyss.
It is rare for someone as powerful as Wang Yiwu to find the Gate of Heaven and Earth too fragile. Generally speaking, the stronger one is, the more difficult it is to open the Gate of Heaven and Earth.
Lian Que originally thought that he still needed two more years to refine himself, but unexpectedly succeeded in one fell swoop.
It was as if he only wanted to exert all his strength to forge a sword for Jiang Wang, striving not to owe anyone, but he didn't expect to be able to forge a divine weapon.
This Chang Xiangsi not only required Lian Que to give everything, but also fully embodied Jiang Wang's spirit and energy.
Lian Que looked at Chang Xiangsi in Jiang Wang's hand, then glanced at Jiang Wang and said, "No matter what happens later, don't be surprised. It's all normal phenomena."
Jiang Wang hadn't yet understood the meaning of his words when Lian Que made a hand seal, and the sword formation opened wide!
When they entered earlier, they only opened a small path. But at this moment, Lian Que opened the entire sword formation. Although there were countless swords, they could no longer obstruct the line of sight.
As a result, the entire sword furnace, including Lian Que and Jiang Wang in front of the sword furnace, were instantly exposed to the dense gazes.
"Lian Que!"
"Young Master Lian Que!"
"Brother Lian Que! Over here!"
"Que'er, it's Que'er! So outstanding, so outstanding!"
Nan Yao City was the city of weapon forging.
The birth of a divine weapon was the biggest event in the entire city.
Except for those who couldn't leave, almost everyone gathered near the Lian Clan. Even if they couldn't see the appearance of the divine weapon, they wanted to bask in this kind of fortune.
And those who had the qualifications to gather outside the sword furnace were naturally members of the Lian Clan.
Looking around, all one could see were heads. All one could hear in their ears were praises.
It was as if all the ridicule and sarcasm Lian Que had received in the clan before were just a shattered dream.
Lian Que, with the momentum of the soaring dragon in his Dao meridians and the power of forging a divine sword, bowed to the surroundings.
He was straightforward and not good with words, but he couldn't help but feel joyous.
After spending this time together, Jiang Wang had a better understanding of Lian Que.
This guy's status in the Lian Clan was similar to that of Chong Xuan Sheng in his own family. They were both from the main lineage, but neither of them was the first heir.
Compared to Chong Xuan Sheng, Lian Que didn't have much ambition. He was only obsessed with weapon forging and not very interested in other things, so he lived a more relaxed life.
But there were some things that others couldn't rest assured about if he didn't fight for them.
Just like when he went to the Tianfu Secret Realm, he was simply seeking a breakthrough, but after failing and returning, he immediately fell into a public opinion crisis.However, now that he had forged Changxiangsi, his status was essentially solidified.
If he truly set his sights on the position of clan leader at this moment, his chances would greatly increase. Given his character, it was hard to predict whether this would bring fortune or disaster.
The crowd parted at this moment, and a tall, jujube-faced elder came forward, followed by a large group of people.
Lian Que bowed and said, "Clan leader!"
As Lian Que's friend, Jiang Wang respectfully followed suit and bowed.
"Good, good! Little Que has made progress!"
The current clan leader of the Lian family, Lian Zhuping, praised loudly. He then turned to Jiang Wang, although most of his attention was on the Changxiangsi in Jiang Wang's hand. "This must be your friend Jiang Wang, right?"
Without waiting for Jiang Wang's response, he praised again, "Good. Promising divine power, a young hero! You do not disgrace this sword."
Jiang Wang could only modestly reply, "You flatter me."
"Come, hand it over." Lian Zhuping stretched out his hand, which was large and looked very powerful.
"This..." Seeing the elder's almost greedy look at Changxiangsi, Jiang Wang couldn't help but tighten his grip on the sword.
"Don't worry, he's not trying to take your sword." Lian Que nudged him and whispered, "After a sword is forged, it needs to be wrapped with a hilt, tied with a tassel, and fitted with a sheath. Then it needs to be offered to the ancestors and heaven. Only after this whole process is the weapon fully consecrated. At that time, the sword will return to your hands."
"Ah, is it that complicated?" Jiang Wang looked unwilling.
In his opinion, he should just take the sword and leave. He could wrap the hilt, tie the tassel, and fit the sheath himself. Why waste more time here?
The elders of the Lian family, their eyes on Changxiangsi, all looked rather strange.
"Just hand it over when asked, why all the fuss! Can such a conspicuous sword run away?"
This kid was acting like a miser. If it weren't for the fact that they were in public, Lian Que would have loved to kick him.
Ordinary swords, of course, wouldn't require such a fuss. But this was a famous weapon, destined to be known throughout the nations. How could they not make a big deal out of it!
Of course, Lian Que also wanted to take this opportunity to show him what the Soaring Dragon Realm was like.
Otherwise, he might not have such a chance in the future. Once Jiang Wang opened the door to the world and relied on the divine power he had already sensed, he would probably be able to enter the inner mansion soon.
Since Lian Que had spoken, Jiang Wang, although reluctant, handed over the Changxiangsi that he hadn't had time to warm up.
Despite Lian Zhuping's advanced age, he was very agile. He took Changxiangsi, turned around, and disappeared.
"No, hey!"
Jiang Wang was a bit anxious.
"It's okay, it's okay, he's gone to the ancestral hall." Lian Que comforted him by patting his shoulder, "You'll have to work hard in the future. The future of Changxiangsi depends on your future."
After spending so many days together and forging the sword with a shared heart, the two had become quite close.
Lian Que's voice was full of anticipation, "I wonder if it can make it onto the list of famous weapons in the future, and what rank it will achieve!"
