The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 219
Chapter 219 Ancient Weapons
The front and back sides of this token were inscribed with the words’ Yin ‘and’ Yang ‘. It was very likely that it was the legendary’ Yin ‘and’ Yang ‘token.
The reason why Mr. Gui Yi and the others weren’t attacked by the puppets in the hall was because of this tiny Yin Yang Token. Holding this command talisman, although it was impossible to directly control these puppets, it could still avoid many dangers within the ruins.
Apart from being used as an identity token, there were also rumors that the Yin Yang Token contained the ultimate technique of the Yin Yang Demon Emperor, the Yin Yang Profound Demon Grand Technique. If he could gather all the Yin Yang Tokens, he would be able to obtain his inheritance.
Presumably, the fragment of the Yin Yang Profound Demon Grand Art that Mr. Gui Yi had bestowed upon Bai Fu City was comprehended from here.
There were a total of six Yin Yang Tokens, and now there were only two of them. It was unknown how many of them Mr. Gui Yi still had on him. However, he probably didn’t gather all of them. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be only the fragment of the Yin Yang Profound Demon Grand Technique.
Since Li Qing already had the Demon Ancestor’s inheritance, he naturally wouldn’t covet this Yin Yang Profound Demon Grand Art. If he could easily obtain it, he might as well learn to comprehend it and learn by analogy. If he didn’t get it, he wouldn’t force it.
“With this Yin Yang Token, I believe we will be able to avoid many dangers. At the very least, some of the dangerous restrictions in the ruins will not be triggered.”
Li Qing collected all the treasures in the hall, looked around, and walked out without missing anything.
This hall should be a hall dedicated to making puppets. There must be other weapons halls, pill halls, and the like elsewhere in the ruins.
This ruin is so magnificent and has complete facilities. I really don’t know why the Yin Yang Demon Emperor built it back then. He even suspected that this place was left behind by the Yin Yang Demon Emperor.
…
Walking out of the hall, he casually chose a path and headed towards another building.
Walking on the road full of restrictions, although he already had the Yin Yang Token in his hand and was much safer, Li Qing was still cautious and didn’t dare to be careless.
Very quickly, he arrived at a narrow passageway. Just as he was turning around, a grey streak of light shot out from in front of him at an extremely fast speed.
Li Qing’s expression changed. With such a close distance and such a sudden attack, he did not react. He could only block it with his saber.
Just as the blade’s surface was blocked horizontally, there was a “Dang” sound. This grey streak of light accurately hit the Heavenly Saber, then it rebounded and landed on the ground.
Li Qing fixed his eyes on the ground and saw that there was actually a small arrow on the ground. Its entire body was jet black and glowing with light.
“Dark Light Short Arrow!” Li Qing quickly recognized this kind of thing and couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat. Fortunately, he used his Heavenly Saber to block it. Otherwise, he would have been seriously injured this time.
It was obvious that Li Qing had entered this place and triggered the mechanism. Then, he fired the short black arrow.
For martial artists, with the protection of true qi, ordinary mechanical techniques could no longer pose any threat. However, this Dark Light Arrow was different. It posed a great threat to martial artists. It was able to break through Xiantian True Essence, and even Xiantian experts had to avoid its sharpness.
The short arrow was fired at the turn and caught off guard. There was no time to dodge it. If he wasn’t careful, even Xiantian experts might fall here.
Li Qing did not react just now. Fortunately, he used the Heavenly Saber to block it at the critical moment. Otherwise, he would be injured, even if his physical body was strong.
He picked up the Dark Light Short Arrow. This kind of short arrow was made from a precious material called Dark Light Profound Iron. It could be considered a treasure.
Since a mechanism had appeared here, Li Qing had to be more careful.
The following journey was indeed extremely dangerous. All sorts of endless mechanisms attacked Li Qing, an intruder, and they were all extremely lethal to martial artists. Luckily, he was strong and had many trump cards, allowing him to pass without any dangers.
He walked to the end of the road with great difficulty and saw another grand hall.
Entering the main hall, one could see rows of weapons racks on both sides. This should be the main hall that was specially used to forge weapons.
Most of the weapons racks were empty and covered in dust, indicating that this place had been dusty for a long time and no one had come.
Li Qing casually picked up a weapon. Looking closely, he couldn’t help but frown. He discovered that the weapon was actually rusty!
“How is this possible?” He felt strange.
Of course, weapons could not exist forever in the world, and they would also rust. Normally speaking, the lower a weapon was, the faster the rust would destroy it.
Nothing is imperishable in the face of time. Even spirit artifacts would be corroded.
Li Qing observed it carefully and could not tell what grade of weapon it was, but at least it was definitely a high-grade weapon.
Because the materials of this weapon were not ordinary, if a qualified blacksmith were to forge it, it would at least be a real weapon.
Perhaps the weapon in front of him was too long ago, causing it to rust.
However, the problem was that the Yin Yang Demon Emperor was a character from thousands of years ago. In such a short period of time, it was not enough to make a true artifact look like this.
Thousands of years might be an extremely long time for humans, but for weapons, it might not be long.
Li Qing guessed, “Perhaps this weapon is too low-grade. The foundry masters aren’t good enough to refine it into a treasure.”
He walked in and found another weapon. He discovered that this weapon was even more miserable. It had basically collapsed and was extremely fragile. With a gentle twist, he broke it.
He was a little unwilling. He walked around and discovered that all the weapons here were rusted and damaged.
“Why are all the weapons here broken? It’s impossible for all of them to be precious, right?” Li Qing felt extremely puzzled, as if there was a veil covering this mysterious ruin.
It was a bit frustrating to enter this weapon hall without obtaining anything.
He continued to spin around and finally discovered something.
On a weapon rack in the depths of the hall, there was a weapon that looked better. This was a dagger.
When Li Qing picked it up and looked at it, he actually noticed that there was a trace of spirituality on it. It was very obscure. If he hadn’t observed it carefully, he probably wouldn’t have noticed it.
“This is a spirit artifact!” Li Qing was shocked. Only spirit artifacts possessed spirituality. This dagger was very likely a spirit artifact.
“How is that possible? If it really is a spirit artifact … it’s actually about to be wiped out. How long has this place been sealed in dust?”
Perhaps only Dao Artifacts could remain eternal between heaven and earth. Even if it was as powerful as a spirit artifact, it would still be eroded by time. However, the rate of erosion was extremely slow.
Under normal circumstances, spirit artifacts could be preserved for a very long period of time. If someone could nurture and repair them at all times, they would be able to survive forever.
Right now, the dagger in Li Qing’s hand had been wiped out by time, leaving only a trace of spirituality. Its luster was dim. Although its exterior was intact, it was nothing compared to a real spirit artifact.
This weapon was definitely very old and not man-made. Because it was covered with traces of time erosion, it could not be faked.
