Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A strange light spread in the sky.
However, at this moment, Wu Mo was still immersed in joy, and he did not notice the changes happening outside.
Right then, the originally calm sky once again underwent a soul-shaking change.
Purple light scattered in mid-air, and the clouds that had originally dispersed gathered once more. Layers upon layers of mountains had almost condensed into a black mass.
The tree leaves on both sides of the street constantly trembled, and the rubbish on the ground was directly thrown into the air by the gale!
!!
Kacha!
A violent explosion sounded, and at this moment, the sky was as bright as day!
Under the dim purple light, the sky was like hell!
It was not only in the Divine Arms Academy. The abnormal phenomenon had already spread to the entire Shanglin City.
On the streets, in the bars, and in the homes of the residents, everyone was attracted by the huge thunder, and they looked at the sky with shocked expressions.
The whistling of the wind, the crying of children, and the rustling of leaves being blown by the wind could be heard endlessly.
Boom!
Suddenly, the sky was filled with lightning and thunder. Countless bolts of lightning connected together, forming a huge and dazzling light pillar that smashed straight toward the ground.
The other end of the pillar went straight into the sky as if it penetrated all the way to space!
Countless people were panicking in the face of such a shocking scene. News about the celestial phenomenon in Shanglin City became trending news on major platforms such as Weibo!
“F*ck, is the end of the world?”
“Don’t scare me. I’m in Shanglin City. I definitely won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
“These past few years have been full of disasters. Everyone should be fine.”
“Hasn’t that spirit martial artist already ascended to the upper realm? Why would such a thing still happen?”
For all kinds of media, tonight was the day to work overtime to write reports. For ordinary people, the two natural anomalies in Shanglin City today were destined to be sleepless nights.
Of course, it was not only ordinary people who were attracted by such a phenomenon. There were also many cultivators above five stars and high-level blacksmiths.
Many cultivators made use of their identities and jumped to the roof. They looked at the light pillar that pierced through the universe in the distance and the lightning that stretched across the horizon in surprise.
The fierce wind swept around, seemingly turning into a tornado.
Over in the mayor’s mansion at the center of Shanglin City, Mayor Zhao Lu stood on the balcony and looked at the terrifying celestial phenomenon in the distance. He did not say anything for a long time.
Behind the mayor stood two maids in elegant long dresses. The clerk and official did not dare ask him anything.
Seven or eight minutes later, the strange phenomenon in the sky slowly disappeared.
The trees on the street also became quiet, and the congested road was now open again.
Carriages passed by in a hurry, while everyone still had lingering fear on their faces.
“Hahaha…”
The beam of light on the dome disappeared without a trace. Zhao Lu looked at the sky in the distance and laughed out loud.
The clerk standing beside him was a little puzzled. Such a natural disaster had obviously dragged down Shanglin City’s economy and destroyed houses. What was so funny about it?
“Mayor, why are you laughing for no reason?” he took a step forward and asked humbly.
Mayor Zhao Lu smiled and turned around. “Say, don’t you know? Such a phenomenon is the sign of a Divine weapon’s arrival.”
As he spoke, he waved his sleeve and walked into the living room. “I heard that my old friend, the tenth elder of Treasure Pavilion, just arrived in the city two days ago. He must have made a breakthrough and forged a Divine weapon.”
Zhao Lu’s expression was joyful. The clerk saw this and immediately cupped his hands. “In that case, congratulations, Mayor. Our Shanglin City will have another Divine weapon!”
“Haha, you sure know how to talk.”
Zhao Lu lightly patted the couch’s armrest. “Forging a Divine weapon is a big matter. I’ll definitely pay Treasure Pavilion a visit tomorrow.”
Looking at the mayor’s gratified expression, the clerk’s heart moved slightly. He immediately went down to prepare to make arrangements for tomorrow’s trip.
…
The night was thick, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
The discussion about celestial phenomena continued today.
The content about celestial phenomena on the forums was still hot among colleagues at work and students in school.
Mayor Zhao Lu rode a horse carriage to Treasure Pavilion at nine o’clock in the morning.
The clerk accompanied him by the side, chatting and laughing along the way.
Not long after, the mayor’s horse carriage arrived outside Treasure Pavilion.
Several receptionists saw the carriage’s appearance and immediately knew that the person who arrived was of high status, so they immediately notified the store manager.
The store manager rushed to the first floor and saw two people coming down from the carriage.
He recognized the person at a glance. It was the mayor of Shanglin City, Zhao Lu!
“We welcome the mayor’s esteemed presence. It’s really a breach of duty not to welcome you from afar. I hope you won’t blame me. I’m the store manager of Treasure Pavilion, Gao Yue. May I ask what advice the mayor has for his first visit to Treasure Pavilion?”
Gao Yue looked a little nervous and spoke formally. He did not know what had happened in Treasure Pavilion for the mayor to come.
No matter how hard he searched his memory, he could not find the reason.
Mayor Zhao Lu saw through the manager’s thoughts with a glance. He chuckled and said, “Don’t be nervous, Store Manager Gao. I’m just here to visit. There’s no official business.”
Hearing the mayor’s explanation, Gao Yue heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly invited him into the pavilion.
Zhao Lu entered Treasure Pavilion and looked at the wall filled with precious materials. His interest was immediately piqued. As a peak five-star cultivator, the equipment and weapons he wore were all of high quality. Naturally, he had some understanding of equipment forging.
After a cursory glance, his attention was immediately attracted by an ordinary silver ring in the display cabinet.
It should be known that the equipment placed in Treasure Pavilion’s hall were all extraordinary items.
Each of them flickered with a strong or weak light, but this ring looked extremely simple and unremarkable. It occupied a more conspicuous position.
“Mayor Zhao, please have a look.”
Noticing this, Gao Yue immediately used the key to open the cabinet door and took out the Interspatial Ring that Wu Mo had refined.
A new look appeared on Zhao Lu’s face. He could sense quite a bit of spirit power fluctuation from the ring. It appeared to be a piece of Rare-grade equipment.
“Manager Gao, could this be an Interspatial Ring?”
Zhao Lu contemplated for a while. Combined with the appearance of this ring, it reminded him of a piece of equipment that was quite famous a while ago.
“My lord is very knowledgeable. That’s right!” Manager Gao Yue said truthfully.
After receiving the confirmation, Mayor Zhao Lu suddenly felt an itch in his hand. He wanted to test it, so he immediately used his spirit sense to control it. A white light flashed, and the next moment, the decorative furnace in the hall disappeared without a trace.
‘Not bad. This Interspatial Ring is just as the rumors say. It’s truly magical.’ Zhao Lu praised in his heart.
The ring was light and small, but it was also powerful. It could be considered a heavenly work of art. Other than the tenth elder, he could not think of anyone else who had such a great talent for forging.
“Hehe, very good.”
Putting the ring back, Zhao Lu continued to read about the other items.
The Divine weapons in the exhibition cabinet shone with all kinds of lights. It was dazzling.
