The Great Wild God - Chapter 205
Chapter 205 Sword Testing Platform
(The fourth shift, once again, the current number one on the Cyan Cloud Tree was the Purple Lightning Divine Sword used by the direct descendant of the Purple Night Peak Sect’s Sect Leader, Fang Xiaohan. It was also one of the few Heaven Ranked magical artifacts that the Divine Night Peak disciples possessed.
Apart from the Purple Lightning Divine Sword, Fang Xiaohan also had a Heaven Ranked magical artifact, the Thunder Cloud Pendant, which was ranked fifth in the Cyan Cloud Spectrum
With these two magic tools alone, Fang Xiaohan sat firmly as the head of the direct disciples.
Chen Xun cursed his mother when he heard Lei Wanhe say that Fang Xiaohan possessed two Heaven Ranked magical artifacts. No wonder Chang Xi despised his petty family back then. The Divine Night Sect was truly worthy of being one of the seven sects of Cloud Continent. Even direct disciples were so awesome. How powerful were those Origin Core and Dharma Form Adepts who couldn’t hide it?
On the other hand, Gu Yangfeng’s side was rather bleak. All of Xia Xiangyi’s Heavenly Mirror rankings were the highest, only ranking 17th in the Cyan Cloud Spectrum.
Because Chang Xi was still young, she hadn’t had the chance to enter the secret realms like Tianjun. She only had a few magical artifacts from her sect, so she naturally didn’t have a particularly high ranking on the Cyan Cloud Tome. This was also the reason why she was tricked by Thunder Thousand Crane back then.
The eight-pronged lightning hammer that Gu Chengzhuo had obtained from his father was only ranked nineteenth in the Cyan Cloud Spectrum.
Almost all of the top 100 magical artifacts in the Cyan Cloud Tree were occupied by direct disciples. To inner sect disciples, being able to possess a magical artifact ranked in the top three hundred was enough to be proud of themselves. Outer sect disciples sought to enter the rankings.
Another important reason why the Wansong Valley Market was so lively was that the Qingyun Tome would be revised once every six months.
The direct disciples that were the focus of everyone’s attention usually disdained to join in this liveliness. Even if they didn’t show up, the Qingyun Tome would still have their rankings of magical artifacts on hand. At this time, the inner and outer sect disciples were crowded in front of the Myriad Pine Valley Sword Test Platform.
The best way to get rid of any magical artifact at a high price was to obtain the Sword Testing Platform to test one’s strength.
The disciples who truly wanted to obtain high-grade magic tools would also pay attention to the changes in the Cyan Cloud Tree.
After all, many disciples would sell some of the high-grade magical artifacts on the Qingyun Tome as their cultivation progressed or they obtained better magical artifacts.
Everyone looked at the mood of the artifacts outside the Qingyun Tome and wanted to trade. They didn’t expect that there would really be a few wrongdoers who would extravagantly look for treasures from the Meng Chen artifact.
Just as Gu Chengzhuo had said, if Lei Wanhe’s Heavenly Jun Blazing Sun Shield was truly ranked in the top 1,000 of the Cyan Cloud Spectrum, he would definitely not be stingy with 20,000 jin of scarlet black gold.
*************************
The market was going to be held for several days in a row, and Chen Xun and Lei Wanhe had also asked for several days off.
After drinking, Chen Xun, Lei Wanhe, Gu Chengzhuo, and the others went to the sword testing platform to see if there were any new changes in the Qingyun Tome this year.
The Sword Testing Platform was located on the east side of the Myriad Pine Valley. Chen Xun and the others had rushed over, and the square a hundred feet in radius was already packed with people.
The two platforms were more than ten zhang tall. They were split into two pieces of rock and used supreme magic power to move one end of the plaza. A shield and a sword floated above the two platforms.
Looking at the lightning floating on the sword shield, especially the divine sword covered in fine scales and the dragon-shaped sword qi wrapped around it, it was undoubtedly the most powerful Earth-ranked magical artifact.
Lei Wanhe said to Chen Xun, “If you have any powerful offensive magical artifacts, go up and attack that shield. As for defensive magical artifacts, you can try to withstand the attacks of that Dragon Scaled Sword. You’ll almost know if you’re qualified to enter the Ascension Cloud Tome …”
“What if your cultivation isn’t high enough and you can’t unleash all of the power of the magical artifact?” Chen Xun asked.
“The current Qingyun Tome has also become a business. The magical artifact was displayed on the Sword Test Platform, only to decide whether or not it could enter the Cyan Cloud Spectrum. In addition, the Zhu Feng Weapon Refining Academy and the three largest Magic Weapon Halls in Wan Song Valley have all sent their Weapon Refiners to preside over the evaluation of magic tools and jointly determine the ranking of the Cyan Cloud Tree. It’s very fair, “Lei Wanhe said.” However, if you really have any powerful magic tools that you want to attack, don’t worry about being buried. There are a lot of thieves underneath the stage … ”
Chen Xun thought about it as well. The benefits involved in assessing the Cyan Cloud Tree magical artifacts were enormous. How could no one interfere?
With the participation of the Zhu Feng Weaponry Refining Academy and the three largest magical artifact halls in the Myriad Pine Valley, the vast majority of people were convinced.
If he could refine a magical artifact that was ranked in the Azure Cloud Tree, then considering that there were more than a hundred thousand disciples in the Divine Night Sect, it would be impossible for him to be undeveloped.
He saw a huge white jade screen standing between the two high platforms. On top of it was a dense array of various magical artifacts and their owners. At the top of the white jade screen, there was an ancient seal with the three words “Cyan Cloud Tome” written on it. It was truly a dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and it possessed an extraordinary aura.
“Eh, how did Xia Xiangyi’s Heavenly Mirror become Chang Xi’s?” Gu Chengzhuo’s eyes were sharp as he walked up to the stage and immediately saw the changes on the Qingyun Tome.
The owner of the Skyshine Mirror, ranked seventeenth in the Azure Cloud Spectrum, had changed from Xia Xiangyi to Chang Xi.
Others couldn’t guess the reason, but Chen Xun guessed that Xia Xiangyi had returned all the magical artifacts that Chang Xi had robbed to Mansion of Marquis Martial in the sand sea. With Chang Xi’s temperament of refusing to suffer any losses, how could she easily bypass Xia Xiangyi?
Needless to say, only the Soul Suppressing Dragon Subduing Pillar, Thunderbolt Lightning Wings, and Linglong Jade Chariot were ranked in the top 100 of the Cyan Cloud Spectrum, so there shouldn’t be any problem.
Most likely, Xia Xiangyi’s Heavenly Mirror had been deceived by this evil woman, Chang Xi.
However, Chen Xun would not sympathize with Xia Xiangyi in his heart, and Xia Xiangyi would have to settle this debt with Xia Xiangyi sooner or later when she abandoned him in the sand sea to be chased after by the people of the Marquis Manor of Yuan Dynasty.
Chen Xun wanted to prepare a few more Xuanyang-attributed magical artifacts this time, but he also wanted to gather up nine spirit swords so that he could cultivate the Thunder Sound Sword Formation in the future. He would follow Lei Wanhe, Gu Chengzhuo, and the others and squeeze forward together.
Gu Chengzhuo was also famous amongst the inner sect disciples. When everyone saw him coming, they all gave way.
Before she could even squeeze in front of the sword test platform, she heard Chang Xi’s voice coming from inside,
“Don’t talk so much nonsense. Remove the restriction on the Sword Testing Platform. Look at that broken shield of yours. How many moves can you block me with?”
Looking through the cracks in the crowd, Chen Xun saw that Chang Xi was placing the Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Array on the long table, talking to the white-haired and bright-headed old men sitting on the long table.
Chen Xun did not expect that Chang Xi would personally come to the Sword Test Platform to examine the Spirit Gathering Mountain River Array. Hearing her tone of argument with others, it seemed that she was extremely dissatisfied that others did not look at the Spirit Gathering Mountain River Array.
The Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Formation was built on the basis of the four pillars of the Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Formation. In terms of attack power alone, it was inferior to top-grade Earth-ranked magic tools and formations.
Within the Divine Night Sect, where spiritual energy was abundant, any array formation would be able to absorb spiritual energy as quickly as possible. Only in areas where spiritual energy was thin would the power of the Spirit Gathering Mountain River Formation truly be revealed.
Chen Xun thought to himself, Chang Xi shouldn’t have come over to argue with others for the sake of the Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Array’s reputation on the Qingyun Tome. It really didn’t suit her status, unless she wanted to sell the Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Array for a high price!
Thinking of this, Chen Xun’s scalp went numb. Chang Xi blackmailed him to refine ten Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Arrays. Naturally, it wasn’t for the sake of collecting them or giving them to his friends and relatives.
Thinking of this, Chen Xun wanted to hide. Lei Wanhe didn’t understand and asked, “Junior Brother Chen, why are you leaving?”
Chang Xi’s ears were extremely sharp. When she heard Lei Wanhe’s voice, she looked over. Her puzzling gaze rolled a few times on Chen Xun’s body, and a faint smile appeared on her extremely beautiful face. She did not say anything.
Chen Xun could only bite the bullet and squeeze in front of Lei Wanhe, saluting Chang Xi, “Long time no see, Senior Sister Chang Xi is also in Myriad Pine Valley?”
Apart from Chang Xi, Yu Wenying, Yu Wenyuan, and several other female inner sect disciples also gathered in front of the stage. Most of them glanced at Chen Xun and Lei Wanhe with indifferent expressions and remained silent.
Yu Wenyuan walked over enthusiastically and said, “Junior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Lei, are you here as well?”
Regardless of age, cultivation, outer sect disciples would always be junior brothers and junior sisters in front of inner sect disciples.
However, everyone was busy cultivating. After living in Cuiwei Lake for more than a month, Chen Xun hadn’t seen Chang Xi, Yu Wenyuan, and the others come down from the peak.
There was a long table in front of the sword test platform. There were ten white-haired old men sitting there. They must be artificers sent by the Zhu Feng Weapon Refining Academy.
Although their cultivation wasn’t that high, as artificers, their status in the Divine Night Sect was respected.
Under Chang Xi’s aggressive questioning, an old man blushed and explained to her,
‘”Miss Chang Xi, this Spirit Gathering Restraint is truly unheard of by this old man and the others. It is difficult for us to judge its effects here for a while. It was just a rough estimate just now. If Miss Chang Xi is not satisfied with the 97th ranking of the Cyan Cloud Spectrum, then wait for us to have a better understanding of this Spirit Gathering Restraint and adjust our ranking in half a year, alright?”
Looking at the old man’s posture, if it weren’t for Chang Xi personally sending this Spirit Gathering Mountain River Formation, even the top two hundred of the Cyan Cloud Spectrum wouldn’t have been able to enter.
“You guys can’t even recognize the Spirit Gathering Restriction, yet you still have the face to sit here and evaluate the Azure Cloud Spectrum magic tools?” Chang Xi said mercilessly, “Aren’t you really afraid that someone will run over and smash your place?”
Chang Xi’s words caused the faces of all the old men to turn red.
The person with the oldest qualifications was so angry that his beard trembled. He couldn’t help but stand up and say, “This old man has been a sect artificer for three hundred years. Although my knowledge is shallow, I don’t recognize this Spirit Gathering Restraint, nor do I think anyone in the sect knows about this Spirit Gathering Restraint …”
Hearing this, Chen Xun felt terrible. However, before he could turn around and slip away, Chang Xi’s eyes turned over and said, “Chen Xun, show these old fellows your hands. What is a true artificer?”
Chen Xun’s scalp was numb. He had originally planned to wait until he had a firm foothold in the Divine Night Sect, and then go to the Peak Armament Refining Academy to consult with the sect’s artificers about the difficult problems in the forging process.
If he wanted to stand out now, wouldn’t the entire Divine Night Sect’s artificers be enemies with him in the future?
However, Chang Xi didn’t dare to offend him. He could only bravely step forward and salute the old men. He said apologetically, “This Spirit Gathering Restriction was created by a junior apprentice-friend and hasn’t spread to the world yet. Seniors naturally don’t recognize it. However, this Spirit Gathering Restriction is nothing …”
“The Spirit Gathering Restraint was created by you. Why are you being so modest with these stubborn old fellows?”
Hearing Chang Xi’s words, Chen Xunhen couldn’t help but cover her mouth. He didn’t know how she had grown up in the Divine Night Sect all these years.
‘”Oh, Senior Sister Chang Xi, you stole a copy of the” Hundred Methods of Gold “from my house and refused to return it. So this kid is cheap. I’d like to see what kind of ability this kid has secretly learned from the” Hundred Methods of Gold “and dare to boast in front of all seniors!”
At this moment, a mocking laugh came from the crowd.
Chen Xun turned around and saw several cultivators crawling in from behind the crowd.
The young man in the lead was like a cold iron sword that had been soaked in the cold spring for a thousand years. His entire body emitted cold killing intent, causing the surrounding disciples to panic as if they had been stabbed by a needle, making way for a passage.
Chen Xun smiled coldly in his heart when he saw the young man walk over with contempt.
In front of these artificers, he was humble and courteous. He really wanted to consult with these experienced artificers in the future. From the tone of the young man in front of him, he guessed that he should be from the Marquis Manor of Yuan Dynasty.
After killing the three black-armored generals of the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty, Chen Xun never thought that he would be able to ease his relationship with the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty. Seeing that this person completely ignored him, he said coldly,
“My skills in forging weapons are far inferior to those of the seniors. However, the three kung fu cats of the Marquis Yuan’s Manor still don’t want me to put them in my eyes.”
