Chapter 1001 - God Refined Forged Sword

Chapter 1001: God Refined Forged Sword

“Do you have no confidence at all? You don’t even have courage to fight? You have given up.”

Wei Xu was stunned when he heard that and he looked closely at Zong Shou.

“Junior Brother, are you angry?”

He could see that under the expressionless face of Zong Shou hid rage. He was really unhappy and annoyed. Wei Xu couldn’t help but burst out laughing, “How can I truly be in despair? Without any hope, I wouldn’t have followed Senior Master Xiuguan back to drag down the entire sect to take this gamble!”

As Wei Xu said that, an intense fire rose up in his phoenix eyes.

“I was too anxious this time and people used it against me. Hunting eagles every day and one day it would peck your eyes. However, if Qingxuan thinks that he can destroy the Common People’s Path like this, it won’t be so easy! At least two to three of their End Realm Saint Venerables will have to die here. Hey! Master said something good, then if the Heavens don’t accept me then why don’t I slash it open? At most, both sides will just suffer heavy losses…”

Zong Shou’s gaze dimmed. Although Wei Xu’s words were determined and domineering, he didn’t mention his tribulation.

He just said that in this battle he was going to cause the Taoist Faction and the others to all suffer heavy losses.

Mingyu also laughed, “We will do what we can and the rest is up to the Heavens. Even if we really are in despair, we have to use the sword in our hands. We have survived like that over these 10,000 years. Junior Brother don’t have to worry. Moreover, what is the use of worrying now? If we win we will live! If not, then we will just die then.”

He seemed casual, his mood was much more relaxed than before. He was less cold and was more valiant, totally unafraid of dying at all.

Zong Shou felt his heart sink. These two people might not be able to feel it on their own but he could sense the changes in their mentalities.

If even the leaders of Common People’s Path were like this, then what about other people?

If they had such a mentality, how were they not going to lose?

His mouth opened and he was about to say something to remind the two of them. However, moments later he closed his mouth and kept silent.

Before he found a chance of them winning, it was useless no matter what he said.

At this moment, he still didn’t know about the situation within the Common People’s Path as well as the exact arrangements of the other three factions. As such, he didn’t have any rights to talk about all of this.

Wei Xu could only treat it as this boy being worried about the sect, so he felt happy about it.

Since taking in this disciple, they didn’t brag about him or release his identity and had never forced him. Over the past few years, they only quietly supported him and maintained this awkward relationship. It seemed like it worked in the end and Zong Shou was slowly connected to the sect.

He really didn’t misjudge this kid. As expected, he cared a lot about brotherhood.

“Actually thinking about it carefully, it is okay that you came back. With your identity as top heir of Sky Burning Lu Family, even the Taoist Faction wouldn’t dare to touch you. When it gets dangerous, I naturally have ways to send you away.”

Wei Xu said in a relaxed manner, “The Vast Habitat really lacks people. I heard that a few months ago, you forced back three Formless God Demons in Yuanlian World? Your Sword Intent reached Spirit Realm right? Just nice we have a Sword Formation with no one to manage.”

The Vast Habitat was really serious. Within the Vast Habitat, the atmosphere was also really solemn.

Zong Shou looked around only to see that this place was totally unlike years ago, it wasn’t as peaceful and it was now a solemn environment.

All the empty space outside of the learning palace was occupied.

They were either practicing spells or training martial techniques. There was also a group of Common People’s Path disciples who were training all sorts of formations.

They tried to restrict themselves but still there were waves of energies and spiritual fluctuations that swept the void.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but stand still and look closely. Looking at the numbers, there were above 100,000 Xiantian Experts.

It seemed like not only Great Gan and Great Shang benefitted from the Spiritual Wave…

“Common People’s Path’s Three Sects and Six Schools have 273,000 Xiantian disciples and above who are all gathered here.”

Wei Xu’s eyes flashed bright and a heartpained intent appeared within. That instantly recovered back to normal.

“Let’s go, there is nothing good to see. Xiuguan and Senior Master Yuanjing have been waiting for you in the main hall.”

Zong Shou nodded and continued to head forward. There was indeed nothing nice to look at.

After all, these disciples weren’t Dao Soldiers. Even if they formed formations, the strength of which wouldn’t be really strong.

Common People’s Path had weakened for a long period of time and among them there weren’t many exceptional disciples.

Their true trump cards definitely weren’t here.

In the outer region, Zong Shou as many formations formed by the Common People’s Path Earth Grade Dao Soldiers. There were around 100 people in one, looking really mysterious and profound, filled with many changes.

After entering the learning palace and the city, Zong Shou was stunned and he stopped once more.

Within it there were hundreds of disciples using Mind Stones and Beast Blood to form formations.

It was alone outside of the Common People’s Path Vast Habitat protective formation and also helped to support and aid one another.

In the middle, there were seven swords that were floating high up and giving off a spiritual light.

An energy rainbow crossed dozens of miles and covered the entire Common People’s Vast Habitat.

They were actually all Celestial Swords, the top Celestial Grade sword artifacts! In the middle was a purple gold flying sword that Zong Shou suddenly felt really familiar with.

“It is the God Refined Sword…”

On first glance, Zong Shou thought that it was the one in the Ancestral Hall.

However, after looking closely he realized that it wasn’t.

This sword was really sharp and it charged right into the clouds, unlike the true God Refined Sword which was humble and innate.

Their auras were similar but it felt like they weren’t the same thing…

At this moment, this sword sat in the center of the formations like it was the core of this sword formation.

Without using much strength, it diverted and controlled the energy currents in the formation, there were no stoppages or rough parts at all.

The seven swords were pretty much perfectly connected with one another!

It caused this Sword Formation which no one was controlling to be brimming with sword energy. The strength was no less than even End Realm Saint Venerables.

“Your few Senior Brothers spent much effort to search for numerous Heaven Grade Materials to raft this God Refined Sword forgery. The God Refined Sword has no master, so this is the most we can do.”

Wei Xu explained on the side, “Master mentioned that if these seven swords were combined, it could cause them all to be similar to Intermediate God Treasures such that we have combat strength comparable to seven End Realm experts. A Sword Formation would be able to deal with at least six End Realms. It would even be able to hurt the indestructible soul of the End Realm Saint Venerables. With this forged sword, it would be able to resist two to three End Realms…”

The moment he said this, the seven Celestial Swords rang out and flew apart.

Zong Shou felt that apart from the fake God Refined Sword, the other six swords’ sword spirits were unhappy with that forged sword.

However under the forceful controls of their Masters they were merging and training with that fake God Refined Sword, causing their energy currents to slowly link up and for that barrier to disappear.

The unhappiness of the six swords was forcefully wiped away.

At the same time, there was a buzz within Zong Shou’s sleeves.

The intent of the Nameless Sword reflected into Zong Shou’s soul.

It was filled with rage and helplessness, sadness, disdain, and lastly, self-pity.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but shake his head, this again?

He remembered that when he returned from Nine Extreme Death Jail, the Nameless Sword sword spirit had such changes. It became dispirited for several days before recovering.

Why was it like this again?

He had an idea and remembered that the last time it felt like this was when Wei Xu said that he had crafted a forged God Refined Sword.

He recalled that when he got the sword he was within Common People’s Path Vast Habitat.

Did this Nameless Sword have some connection with the God Refined Sword?

He reached out and swept across the body of the Nameless Sword inch by inch. At this moment, it had risen up to Celestial Realm, its grade wasn’t low and was comparable to normal Grade Four swords.

Be it abilities and strength or the toughness of the sword body it was the top out of the same grade.

The sword body was blood red due to it absorbing numerous souls.

It was gleaming with Vengeful Energy. No matter how Zong Shou looked at it, he was unable to link it to that noble-looking God Refined Sword.

He shook his head and for some reason he felt unhappy for that God Refined Sword.

“Is this method appropriate? To do the formation like that, even if the God Refined Sword has a master, in the end it won’t be accepted into the formation. The other six will dispel it…”

In other words, the God Refined Sword left by Xi Zi would be useless.

“We can only do this!”

Wei Xu kept silent, Mingyu was the one who said coldly, “Common People’s Path is already at its life and death moment. If the God Refined Sword really has a spirit, it should search for a master and protect us and not stay in the Ancestral Hall and be so picky. A sword that no one can use is just the same as trash. Junior Brother forged the sword as he was forced to. If we can’t survive the situation in a few days then we won’t have any future. Those seven swords won’t have a chance to be together anymore!”

Zong Shou was shocked when he heard this and he could tell that the few of them had really complicated feelings toward the God Refined Sword. They loved it but hated it too. They really had no choice.

At this moment, the Nameless Sword gave out a sad ring and shook.

The thoughts that spread over were extremely wronged and it seemed like it had given up.

Zong Shou was speechless, thinking to himself that it wasn’t the God Refined Sword, so why was it dispirited?

Mingyu’s last few words attracted his attention. The situation in a few days?

In other words, Wei Xu would try for his tribulation in a few days?

“When will Senior Brother go through your tribulation?”

“Either four or five days. I am not sure about the specific time.”

Wei Xu shook his head, his expression dimming, “I have already delayed it, it will depend on when this formation completes the first merger. Anyway, the sooner, the better…”

Zong Shou knew what he meant. If one considered the Confucians, then Common People’s Path was second from the bottom among the six factions.

Their opponents might be the combined efforts of Taoist Faction, Demon Sect, and the Confucians. One obviously knew that the longer they delayed, the worse it was for them.

Each day that passed, the strength within Common People’s Path would increase a little.

However, those three factions were much stronger and what they gained each day would only be far more than them.
