Chapter 3445: Weapon Casting Inheritance

“The Innate Imperial Weapon!”

Shen Changqing’s eyes flickered slightly.

He was aware of the embryo of the Innate Imperial Weapon, but he hadn’t expected it to be born so soon.

Shen Changqing understood the meaning behind Bai Lianfeng’s words even more clearly.

However,

he didn’t agree rashly.

After all,

Shen Changqing and the Tianzhu Mansion were merely partners.

He paid with immortal stones, and they provided treasures; neither owed the other a favor.

Of course, there was

a friendship

, but it wasn’t to the point where Shen Changqing would oblige the Tianzhu Mansion with every request.

Furthermore, the implications of an Innate Imperial Weapon were considerable. It was impossible

for the other party to persuade him to go to the Tianzhu Mansion with just a single word.

However,

Bai Lianfeng understood, and so, as soon as the words fell, without waiting for Shen Changqing to speak, he continued.

“The Tianzhu Mansion won’t let Sect Master Shen’s efforts go in vain. If Sect Master Shen is willing, the Tianzhu Mansion is willing to offer ten supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts as compensation!”

“Ten supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts—what a generous offer from the Tianzhu Mansion!”

Shen Changqing looked surprised.

He hadn’t expected the other party to be willing to spend so much.

Ten supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts.

At today’s price, that would be at least six million high-grade immortal stones.

Shen Changqing remembered that the last time the Tianzhu Mansion asked him to assist, it was only a few hundred thousand high-   grade immortal stones .

This time, they offered six million   in one go. However, this was a different time.   Back then, he was only a Heavenly Demon Saint Lord, a significant gap in strength compared to now.   After the battle in the Eastern Abyss Territory and the recent events of the Supreme Divine Cult, Shen Changqing was well aware of his own strength and could be considered an Immortal Semi-Saint.   To invite an Immortal Semi-Saint to assist with six million high-grade immortal stones was naturally a great bargain.   Bai Lianfeng smiled wryly, “The Xiantian Emperor Weapon cannot be lost. Although the Tianzhu Mansion has collaborated with many powerful individuals over the years, only a handful truly rival Sect Master Shen in strength.   Furthermore, the Tianzhu Mansion struggles to truly trust other cultivators, and there aren’t many who trust them as much as Sect Master Shen.”   Later in his speech, Bai Lianfeng offered another subtle compliment.   Shen Changqing fell into deep thought and didn’t respond.   After a long pause, he spoke, “Ten supreme-grade Imperial Immortal artifacts are unnecessary, but I’m quite curious about the Tianzhu Mansion’s weapon-casting heritage.   It would be fantastic to witness the dharma of the Tianzhu Mansion’s successive weapon-refining masters!”   At these words,   Bai Lianfeng’s expression changed.   The weapon-casting heritage!   This is the true foundation of the Tianzhu Mansion.   You see,   the Tianzhu Mansion is renowned throughout Shenfeng Province for its weapon and weapon forging.   Such skills are the most valuable assets of the Tianzhu Mansion   .   Even the inheritances of some of the highest-ranking Immortal Emperors, or even secret techniques coveted by many factions like the Immortal Spirit Body, were not as important to the Tianzhu Mansion as the weapon-casting inheritance.   Bailianfeng considered many possibilities, but he hadn’t anticipated the other party’s motive being this.   Seeing the other party’s silence, Shen Changqing smiled faintly, “I’ve always been quite curious about weapon-casting and refining, and I’d like to observe its mysteries.   If it’s inconvenient, then just pretend I never said anything.”   At this point, Bailianfeng took a deep breath and shook his head.   ”Since Sect Master Shen has spoken, how can the Tianzhu Mansion refuse? However, the Tianzhu Mansion’s weapon-casting inheritance is extremely important.   If Sect Master Shen wishes to view it, he must ensure that no part of it is leaked!”   ”…Yes!”   Shen Changqing thought for a moment, then nodded.   Honestly,   his desire to see the weapon-casting inheritance wasn’t just for his own sake, but also to procure a cutting-edge weapon-casting technique for the Xuantian Dao Sect.   Among the nine peaks of the Xuantian Dao Sect, the Weapon Peak is renowned for its weapon forging.   In the past, the Weapon Peak’s forging skills were undoubtedly impressive, but from Shen Changqing’s current perspective, they were rather dismal.   The vast Weapon Peak was presided over by only one sixth-rank weapon master, and even that was only a lower-grade sixth-rank weapon master. Refining even a low-grade ancient immortal weapon would be a real challenge.   Of course,   this wasn’t limited to the Weapon Peak.   Most of the other nine peaks of the Xuantian Dao Sect were lagging behind, a stark disparity with the sect’s current status. This applies   to the Weapon Peak!   The Formation Peak!   Even the less prominent Body Peak…   Shen Changqing was once merely the master of the Pill Peak, naturally disregarding all that.   But now that he was the Sect Master, there were things he needed to consider.   Therefore,   Shen Changqing’s first thought was naturally the weapon forging tradition of the Tianzhu Mansion.   However, judging by the Bailian Peak’s intentions, allowing him to see the inheritance was already the limit. If such a legacy were to be leaked and wielded by the Weapon Peak, it would be unacceptable.   If forced, the hard-earned bond between the two sides would be completely severed.   Although the Tianzhu Mansion was now in decline and its strength was mediocre, the weapon-refining techniques they possessed were of great value to Shen Changqing.   In the future, if he needed top-tier Imperial Immortal artifacts, he would still have to ask the Tianzhu Mansion to refine and forge them.   Shen Changqing naturally did not want to fall out with the Tianzhu Mansion over this matter.   Moreover,   inheritance itself was the foundation of a faction.   The Tianzhu Mansion’s willingness to compromise was already a good thing.   As for what would happen next, Shen Changqing had already planned to observe the Tianzhu Mansion’s inheritance, integrate it, and comprehend his own insights, which would then become the foundation of the Qi Peak. After all, his own insights   would not constitute a leak of the Tianzhu Mansion’s inheritance.   Seeing Shen Changqing’s promise, the Bailian Peak secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that the other party would refuse to compromise, which would put the Tianzhu Mansion in a dilemma.

Without this person to take charge, once the Xiantian Emperor Weapon was born, the Tianzhu Mansion would be hard to protect.

However, if the Tianzhu Mansion’s inheritance were to be leaked, it could one day affect the foundation of the entire faction.

This was a dilemma.

Fortunately,

Shen Changqing agreed.

In Bailian Peak’s view, given the other party’s status, having promised something, it was impossible for him to break his promise.

The stronger the person, the more they valued their promises.

After all,

this involved the word “reputation”.

The higher the cultivation level, the more they cared about reputation.

Of course,

there were some shameless ones, but they were ultimately a minority.

“When will the Xiantian Emperor Weapon of Tianzhu Mansion be born?”

Shen Changqing asked, changing the subject.

Bai Lianfeng said, “In three thousand years at most, the Xiantian Emperor Weapon will surely appear. If it’s convenient for Sect Master Shen, you can accompany me to Tianzhu Mansion now.

If it’s not convenient, you can go there later when the time is right!”

“Okay. Within three thousand years, I will definitely go to Tianzhu Mansion.”

Shen Changqing nodded. With so much time left, he naturally couldn’t just follow Bai Lianfeng to Tianzhu Mansion.

Although he had agreed to Tianzhu Mansion’s request, it didn’t mean he would waste three thousand years on it. They

could just go there when the time was right.

After receiving Shen Changqing’s firm response, Bai Lianfeng didn’t stay in Xuantian Dao Sect for long. In less than half a day, he had already departed.

After Bai Lianfeng left, Shen Changqing handed the ten supreme-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts to Qingyi.

“Senior, these are ten supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts. As you cultivate the Weapon Refining Immortal Scripture, you should be able to devour these treasures for your own use. Once you refine these ten treasures, ascending to a supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifact will be a no-brainer.

As for whether you can reach the level of an Innate Imperial Weapon, that depends on the circumstances!”

Shen Changqing said.

However,

he also understood that

there was a vast gulf between Imperial Immortal Artifacts and Innate Imperial Weapons.

Ten supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts were intended to bridge this gap, allowing Qingyi to ascend directly to an Innate Imperial Weapon. While the possibility of bridging this gap and allowing Qingyi to ascend directly to an Innate Imperial Weapon with ten supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts was slim, if not impossible.

However,

Shen Changqing had prepared more than just ten

supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts. Tianzhu Mansion still had an order for twenty supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts.

Once the next batch of Imperial Immortal Artifacts arrived, Qingyi’s chances of ascending to an Innate Imperial Weapon would be significant.

Ten supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts wouldn’t even be enough to create a single Innate Imperial Weapon.

But thirty would be a different story.

“I’ll do my best!”

Qingyi took a deep breath, gazing at the ten supreme-grade Imperial Immortal artifacts in his storage ring. He dared not make any promises.

He knew, knowing full well, that attaining the rank of Innate Imperial Weapon was no easy feat.

Before obtaining the Weapon Refining Immortal Scripture, relying on his own gradual accumulation, even after a billion years, it would have been impossible to achieve the rank of Innate Imperial Weapon.

But with the Weapon Refining Immortal Scripture, as long as he had enough supreme treasures to consume, advancement would have been much easier.

Then,

Qingyi retreated into seclusion.

“I wonder how long it will take to refine ten supreme-grade Imperial Immortal artifacts. However, if thirty supreme-grade Imperial Immortal artifacts could give rise to an Innate Imperial Weapon, then this deal would be a guaranteed win!”

Shen Changqing mused.

While the difference between a supreme-grade Imperial Immortal artifact and an Innate Imperial Weapon might seem only one step, the difference was staggeringly vast.

Any Innate Imperial Weapon possessed immense power, far surpassing the might of a so-called Imperial Immortal artifact.

Especially at the level of Immortal Semi-Saint, the true potential of an Imperial Immortal artifact was even more limited.

If anyone knew that thirty supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts could be exchanged for a single Innate Imperial Weapon, many powerful individuals would undoubtedly flock to it.

After all,

the latter is incomparable to the former.

In the face of an Innate Imperial Weapon, supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts simply cannot compete.

Whether it’s one, ten, or a hundred,

the quality of a supreme treasure often outweighs quantity.

This also underscores the extraordinary power of techniques like the Weapon Refining Immortal Scripture.

By devouring enough Imperial Immortal Artifacts, one has the chance to break free from its shackles and ascend to an Innate Imperial Weapon.

Perhaps at this level, the full power of the Weapon Refining Immortal Scripture cannot be fully realized. But once Qingyi truly ascends to an Innate Imperial Weapon, and then undergoes further transformation,

the true power of the Weapon Refining Immortal Scripture will be fully realized.
