Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16418
Chapter 16416 Shattering Star Sword
On the yellowed pages of the book was a drawing of a magical artifact. It resembled a flying sword, but the dimensions marked beside it indicated that it was no ordinary flying sword; it was enormous, a full ten meters long. While
many magical artifacts can change size, their initial size remains crucial. Like large magical artifacts, many can be shrunk in size, but generally, after shrinking, they lose their combat power. Shrinking is merely for portability. Of course, some ordinary magical artifacts used by cultivators can also enlarge to the size of large artifacts, but their strength is incomparable to their normal state. Therefore, such enlarged artifacts are powerless against large artifacts, unable even to break through their defenses.
This flying sword was originally ten meters long, which was no ordinary sword. However, it was also quite strange. If you said it wasn’t an ordinary sword, it was so much smaller than a large magical artifact; if you said it was an ordinary sword, it was so large. It seemed incongruous no matter how you looked at it.
Nevertheless, Qingxuan carefully examined the sword’s data. When he saw the data, he was stunned. He hadn’t expected the sword’s data to be like this. This sword was specifically crafted to deal with large magical artifacts. Moreover, this sword was extremely extreme. The entire sword had no defense; it only had three magic arrays: First, sharpness, which could penetrate the defenses of large magical artifacts; second, agility, which allowed for easier turning; and third, speed. Its speed was extremely fast, much faster than ordinary cultivators flying and much faster than large magical artifacts. It could be said that this magical artifact sacrificed many things; it was specifically designed to break through large magical artifacts.
This magical artifact offers virtually no defense, but it is incredibly fast, agile, and powerful, practically designed for offense. Most importantly, it utilizes high-grade spirit stones, requiring only one for extended use. Furthermore, it can only be operated by a single person; those lacking sufficient strength are ill-equipped to control it. At least a master of the royal city level is needed to wield it. Another unique feature is that it shatters itself after breaching a large magical artifact, making it a one-time use item.
However, the materials used are quite ordinary, indicating a low cost. It only employs three types of magic arrays, minimizing energy consumption and making it relatively easy to craft, requiring significantly less mental energy to operate.
It’s fair to say that this magical artifact has both very obvious advantages and disadvantages. This is precisely why no one has used it for so long. Consider this: the Divine Kingdom has been peaceful for so many years. Under normal circumstances, even if two forces clash, they wouldn’t resort to something like a large magical artifact. Even if they did use a large magical artifact, everyone has one; there’s no need for this one. Using it is still very dangerous, and its defensive capabilities are too weak. If a single spell from a large magical artifact hits it, it will shatter instantly.
In short, this artifact is quite useless. However, you can’t say it’s entirely without merit. Firstly, it’s very agile. If the person piloting it has sufficiently strong mental power, they can use it to evade spells from large magical artifacts. If a large magical artifact is hit, its defenses will be breached, and even the artifact itself will be damaged.
This kind of magical artifact was indeed quite useless for the previous divine kingdom, but for the current divine kingdom, its use is immense. They can mass-produce such artifacts and use them to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect’s large magical artifacts, or even their transforming protective shields.
Thinking of this, Qingxuan immediately said, “Someone come here.” A disciple immediately entered from outside.
Qingxuan immediately said, “Go, invite Elder Qinghuo here.” The disciple responded and went to fetch him, while Qingxuan said to Qingshu, “Senior brother, please sit down. You’ve done a great service this time. This magic artifact is truly important to us.”
Qingshu sat down as instructed, then smiled and said, “It’s useful, that’s enough. I’m getting old now, and my strength has declined somewhat. I can’t be of much help with fighting anymore. Helping to find this kind of magic artifact is the only thing I can do for the sect.”
Hearing Qingshu say this, Qingxuan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. To be honest, the most talented disciple in the sect back then wasn’t him, but Qingshu. However, Qingshu was seriously injured during an external trial, and since then, his strength has hardly improved. Over the years, as he’s gotten older, his strength has clearly declined. So it’s true that fighting isn’t suitable for him. And that’s why Qingxuan didn’t know how to comfort him.
So Qingxuan paused for a moment, then sighed softly and said, “Senior brother, don’t say that. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to find this kind of magical artifact. You’ve been a great help to the sect.”
Qingshu smiled slightly and said, “It’s alright. I’ve gotten used to it over the years. It’s actually quite good now. Although my strength can’t improve anymore, I still have a long life ahead of me. I’m still happy to be able to do something for the sect.”
Qingxuan smiled and said, “It’s best that you think that way, senior brother.”
Just then, a voice came from outside, “Sect Master, Elder Qinghuo has arrived.”
Qingxuan immediately said, “Quickly, invite him in.” The disciple outside responded, and then the door was pushed open. A tall, strong Taoist priest wearing a short robe walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw Qingxuan and Qingshu, and immediately bowed to them, saying, “Greetings, Sect Master. Greetings, Senior Brother Qingshu.”
Qingxuan said, “Come and sit down.” Qinghu responded and walked over, sitting down next to Qingshu.
Qingxuan then directly said to Qinghu, “Come and take a look at this.” He then pushed the book towards Qinghu, who was the head of the weapon-refining hall of the Tianxuan Sect, which was why Qingxuan had invited him.
Qinghu took the book and carefully examined the flying sword, named Shattered Star. The data on it was very detailed, including the materials used and how it was forged.
After reading the drawing, Qinghuo turned to Qingxuan and asked, “Sect Master, what do you mean?”
Qingxuan replied, “Once we’ve crafted one, we need to test it to see if it truly possesses the power described here, and how long it will take to complete.”
Qinghuo examined the drawing carefully again before saying, “Three days will be enough. It uses very few materials and few magic arrays. Aside from being a bit large, three days is sufficient for successful crafting. Furthermore, we only need to modify the furnace, which will further shorten the crafting time.”
Qingxuan nodded and said, “Alright, then I’ll give you three days to craft this magical artifact, and we’ll test it.” Qinghuo responded, and Qingxuan then dismissed him and Qingshu.
Qingxuan was well aware that the sooner this magical artifact was crafted, the sooner they could use it to deal with the Blood Slaughter Sect. That was why he was in such a hurry. Of course, they would only mass-produce it after testing it and confirming its effectiveness against the Blood Slaughter Sect; otherwise, they wouldn’t produce it in large quantities.
Three days passed quickly, and Qinghuo had indeed forged the Shattering Star Sword. Upon receiving the news, Qingxuan immediately led the elders and hall masters of the sect to the testing ground.
The testing ground was located in a deserted valley outside their sect. In that valley sat a large magical artifact, the Creation Golden Wheel. However, this Creation Golden Wheel was not the Blood Slaughter Sect’s Creation Golden Wheel, but rather the Creation God Sect’s. When they dealt with the Creation God Sect, they had destroyed several of the sect’s Creation Golden Wheels. Although the wheels were destroyed, they had retrieved the wreckage. Today, they intended to use this Creation Golden Wheel to test the power of the Shattering Star Sword and see if it was truly as powerful as described in the books.
To ensure that the test results matched the defensive level of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s Creation Golden Wheel, they also set up a defensive array outside the wreckage of the Creation Golden Wheel to mimic its defensive capabilities.
When Qingxuan and the others arrived, Qinghuo was already waiting for them. Beside Qinghuo stood a giant sword, ten meters long, with a rather ordinary design that didn’t reveal anything special.
Qingxuan carefully examined the giant sword and found that it was quite well-made; at least it looked very refined and not particularly rough.
Upon seeing Qingxuan and the others arrive, Qinghuo immediately went to greet them and bowed. Qingxuan nodded in response and then said, “Let’s begin.”
Qinghuo acknowledged and nodded towards the giant sword. A cultivator who had been standing beside the giant sword bowed to the group and then entered the sword. The giant sword was ten meters long but only about half a meter thick, while its width was about two meters. Only the guard was thicker and wider, about one meter thick and three meters wide. The guard was where the cultivator stayed. The sword had no internal space; the guard was the only operating space for the entire sword. This space was very small, only large enough to fit one person.
After entering the space, the man immediately closed the door. He then took out a high-grade spirit stone and placed it in a groove within the space. The next moment, the giant sword flew up, circled a few times in the air, and then crashed directly into the wreckage of the Creation Golden Wheel. It was incredibly fast, reaching the Creation Golden Wheel almost instantly. The next moment, a loud boom was heard, and the sword shattered. (End of Chapter)
