Chapter 2058
There was only one Heaven-Defier in this world. For a Heaven-Defier like Zi Chen to appear, it meant that the previous Heaven-Defier had already died.
Hearing the old man's words, Zi Chen stared at him. "You must know where the Star Path is, right? Tell me where it is."
The elder shook his head once more. "I don't know. At the same time, I'd advise you not to ask about that star path. It's very dangerous."
Zi Chen flipped his hand, and a celestial sword appeared. Waves of pressure spread. "Tell me, and this thing is yours."
The elder was surprised by Zi Chen's generosity. The others' expressions changed when they saw Zi Chen take out a Heaven-Defier. However, the elder still shook his head. "It's useless. I have my own Heaven-Defier. If a little child like you wants to bribe me, it won't work. I'll say the same thing again: I don't know where that star path is."
Seeing the elder's expression, Zi Chen smiled. "Is that so? Then can I trouble you to take a closer look? Is this a Heaven-Defier?"
Zi Chen circulated his energy into the weapon. The Heaven-Defier trembled slightly, and its aura grew even denser.
"This is a heaven-defying weapon!" The elder's pupils shrank as he looked into the weapon's eyes.
A heaven-defying weapon was a weapon used by a Heaven-Defier. Only in the hands of a Heaven-Defier could they unleash their greatest power and easily slaughter ordinary Heaven realms.
However, that wasn't absolute. A heaven-defying weapon was an extremely powerful weapon. Because a Heaven-Defier was using it, its weapon spirit was even stronger. Once an ordinary Heaven realm expert subdued it, although the power it could unleash wouldn't be able to compare to a Heaven-Defier, it would still be much stronger than an ordinary Heaven realm expert.
When the old man saw the heaven-defying weapon, his eyes widened. Even his breathing became rapid. He looked at the heaven-defying weapon again and said, "You're a Heaven-Defying Cultivator, yet you want to give me a heaven-defying weapon."
Zi Chen guessed that the elder didn't know what had happened on the Martial War Continent. In other words, the Martial Heaven Alliance and the Martial War Alliance didn't have any connection.
Other than that, the old man didn't know that there were strong and weak Heaven-Defying Cultivators.
For example, the weapon forged by a heaven-defying being who had only comprehended ten laws would be much weaker than the weapon forged by a heaven-defying being who had comprehended over fifty laws.
"Tell me where that special Star Path is, and this weapon is yours," Zi Chen said in a deep voice.
The old man's expression changed slightly as he hesitated.
"Buzz."
Within Zi Chen's body, heaven-defying energy poured into the weapon. The weapon trembled, and a violent fiendish aura enveloped the entire hall. In the hall, everyone who felt this aura had a change in expression.
After personally feeling this pressure, the old man's hesitant expression turned resolute. He said in a deep voice, "I don't know the exact location, but if you make a trip to the ancient race, you might be able to find the answer. However, I still advise you to consider carefully. That Star Path is extremely dangerous."
As he spoke, the old man stepped forward and took away the weapon from Zi Chen's hand. Obviously, he was worried that his words didn't carry enough weight and would make the latter go back on his word.
Zi Chen was slightly startled, and then he looked a little annoyed. Why didn't he think of the ancient race, the mysterious tribe that was said to have a Heavenly Path trial?
At this moment, the old man took the weapon and then cupped his fists at Zi Chen. "Thank you, little friend Zi Chen, for giving me this weapon. I'll take my leave now."
With that, the old man turned and left, but he didn't invite anyone to enter the Star Path.
"Senior, please don't come again next time. My friends won't enter the Star Path."
Zi Chen was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on his face as he shouted towards the outside of the hall.
"Don't worry. I won't come even if you beat me to death."
The old man's voice sounded from outside the hall. He had obtained a heaven-defying weapon with just one sentence. He was afraid that Zi Chen would go back on his word, so he naturally wouldn't come again.
"Yes."
Seeing the old man's expression as he left, they all looked at Zi Chen. Obviously, they thought that Zi Chen had suffered a great loss.
Zi Chen chuckled, but he didn't care. That heaven-defying weapon was the weakest one in his possession.
"The Star Path is too dangerous. You guys should stay in the Wuji Sect and deal with the upcoming war. These are my gains during this time. I'll give one to each of you."
While speaking, Zi Chen took out more weapons. These weapons gave off a brilliant light that illuminated the hall. At the same time, they gave off an oppressive aura.
Feeling the pressure that was much stronger than the previous weapons, Lv Peng asked cautiously, "These are all heaven-defying weapons."
Zi Chen nodded and said, "Every heaven-defying person has one. After killing so many heaven-defying people, I naturally have a lot of these weapons."
In the hall, apart from Wang Qiong, Wang Shan, Chen Feng, and Sun Ling, everyone had a heavenly weapon. They had obtained it in the Holy Burial Ground. Seeing so many heavenly weapons, everyone was shocked.
This was especially so for the four without heavenly weapons. Their eyes were filled with excitement.
The weapons that Zi Chen took out were all heaven-defying weapons of high quality. Among them, Zi Chen specially gave a sword to Wang Xian 'er. Because she cultivated the Sword Dao, this sword was very suitable for her. The sword's owner had comprehended more than fifty laws.
As for the others, he didn't deliberately distribute them. Zi Chen even felt that there was no need for the Devil Ape and Zhang Haotian to take these heavenly weapons. Heavenly weapons needed to be nurtured, and more wasn't better.
The two of them had their own fortuitous encounters. The Devil Ape's black rod had already become a heavenly weapon. It was a supreme treasure of the Sky Splitting Battle Ape bloodline. Naturally, it wasn't inferior to heaven-defying weapons.
Zhang Haotian's stone sword didn't have a weapon spirit, but its material was very special. It was also very compatible with his cultivation technique. There was no need for him to change his weapon.
Wang Qiong and the other three didn't have any Celestial Armaments, so they chose their Celestial Armaments without hesitation. Wang Xian 'er took one, and Lv Peng also chose one after a slight hesitation. Although he was an Array Master, he could use it for self-defense.
Lin Xue and Su Mengyao picked one each.
After the selection of weapons, Zi Chen kept these heaven-defying weapons. Then, he took out five ordinary heavenly weapons and gave them to Wang Qiong. He said, "These are for the Wang Clan."
"This … …"
Wang Qiong, who had just taken the heaven-defying weapons, was a little hesitant. He had a very good relationship with Zi Chen. They were life and death brothers. It was fine if he took them, but the Wang Clan … …
"Take them. I still have a lot here." Zi Chen said.
Wang Qiong didn't decline and immediately accepted the five heavenly weapons. His eyes were filled with gratitude. Obviously, with these five heavenly weapons, the Wang Clan might have a better chance of survival in the face of war.
Looking at the two of them, Zi Chen pondered for a moment. However, he didn't give them anything else.
The next thing was naturally to discuss the future development of the Wuji Sect. Wang Qiong and Wang Shan, who came from the Wang Clan, knew that it wasn't appropriate for them to continue staying here. The two of them also knew this, so they took the initiative to leave.
After the two of them left, Zi Chen also took out more heavenly weapons, as well as many heaven-level materials. The amount and the brilliance of the materials made everyone present dumbfounded.
These were all Zi Chen's gains. Zi Chen had been keeping them for the sake of bringing them back to the Wuji Sect.
This sect was founded by Zi Chen, and this was also Zi Chen's home. The people in the sect were his family.
Looking past Sun Ling, Zi Chen looked at Chen Feng. "Chen Feng, go through these things. Pick out the materials and put them in the treasury. As for the weapons, take out a few and give them to the Elders who have reached the Heaven Realm and have enough experience."
There were a few Elders in the Wuji Sect who had followed Zi Chen since he was in the Core Yuan Realm. For example, Hei Feng, Ye Lang, Zhang Tong, Wu Liu, and so on. These people had enough experience. Once they reached the Heaven Realm, they would be given a heavenly weapon as a reward.
Chen Feng nodded. With a wave of his hand, he put away all these things.
"Next, I'm preparing to open the Wuji Sect to the public. I'll open the Time Castle to all the talented disciples of the Martial Heaven Continent to enter and cultivate. I'll give them a certain reward. The highest reward is a heavenly weapon. Other than that, the heaven-level materials can also be used as a reward."
"It's open to the entire Martial Heaven Continent." Those people's expressions changed.
"That's right. Open it to all geniuses. Once a huge battle begins, no one can stay out of it. In this kind of situation, personal grudges are insignificant. Chen Feng, make some preparations. Using my name, Zi Chen, invite all the powers and aristocratic families of the Martial Heaven Continent to the Wuji Sect for a meeting. Remember, as long as a family has an Earth Prime expert, they'll be invited."
Chen Feng was startled, but then he nodded.
Now that the great era had arrived, the Earth Prime experts were everywhere. Once all the powers of the continent were invited, the Wuji Sect would be filled with people.
However, Zi Chen's words couldn't be doubted. No matter how difficult it was, they had to carry it out.
He looked at Sun Ling once more. This sect master was a bit of a headache for him. He didn't understand why he had chosen her, his eldest disciple, to be the sect master.
"Sun Ling, call Wu Liu over," said Zi Chen.
"Wu Liu? Why call him over? You can just tell me what to do," said Sun Ling.
"Even if I tell you, you can't do it," said Zi Chen indifferently.
Sun Ling angrily called Wu Liu over. When he saw Zi Chen, he was very surprised and immediately bowed respectfully. Then Zi Chen gave Wu Liu a few more instructions. Wu Liu nodded, indicating that he understood.
After that, Zi Chen didn't have time to chat with the others. He directly stepped onto the path to the Saint Burial Ground.
The Saint Burial Ground here had become a training ground. The time it opened was also greatly shortened. Now that Zi Chen had arrived, it was just in time for it to open again. Many cultivators were waiting outside, waiting for the gate to open.
Space distorted, and Zi Chen appeared.
When the crowd turned around and saw Zi Chen, they were all startled. However, they didn't immediately recognize Zi Chen. They just thought that he was a Heaven Realm expert who had come to look for opportunities.
