Chapter 149

(Within the light beam of resurrection)

Lin Qi had not built any weapons for several months after failing to build an immortal weapon last time.

Instead, he kept holding a longsword and carving inscriptions on it.

Even when he wasn't carving inscriptions, he never left the sword, as if it were his entire existence.

This obsessive look made the clansmen shake their heads.

There were many people in the Weapon Spirit clan who were obsessed with refining weapons.

This level of obsession was uncommon, however.

(A few months later, one day)

Lin Qi was sleeping.

"Lin Qi, Lin Qi?"

Lin Qi was asleep when a clansman of the Weapon Spirit clan walked into his room with a call.

Seeing Lin Qi sleeping soundly, he shook his head and stopped calling Lin Qi's name, but sneaked in.

He came over today because he wanted to borrow a refining material from Lin Qi.

Now that Lin Qi was sleeping peacefully, he simply planned to take this material himself first and then tell Lin Qi when he awoke.

But as the clan member reached out and grabbed the refining material, Lin Qi's longsword suddenly emitted light and flew straight up, stabbing him.

This sudden attack terrified the clan member.

In disarray, he crawled out of Lin Qi's room.

He looked back and saw Lin Qi still sleeping soundly. However, the longsword, as if it had its own consciousness, was constantly hovering in the room, guarding Lin Qi.

"A living spirit sword?"

The Weapon Spirit clan member stared wide-eyed for a long time before rushing away in shock.

He decided to tell the elders about this strange sword.

...

(On the Lingxuan Continent)

The crowd stared horrified at the image in the light beam of resurrection.

That clan member of the Weapon Spirit clan didn't know what was going on with the sword in Lin Qi's hand.

But as people of the later generations, they were all clear.

A sword that could protect its master and had its own consciousness was clearly a weapon with a spirit.

Almost all weapon spirits were emotionless and would act based on instinct alone. However, the benefit of having this weapon spirit was that it wouldn't need to be controlled by the cultivator.

These weapons could have formidable power if mastered.

As long as a mortal could master a weapon with a spirit, he could become formidable even if he couldn't cultivate.

However, it was rare to find a weapon with a weapon spirit.

It took pure luck to refine something like this.

Lin Qi, however, refined such a sword in just a few months.

The talent he had for refining was simply mind-boggling.

"As for Extraterrestrial Devils, it suddenly occurred to me that the Trace of Heaven we saw within the light beam of resurrection wasn't Bronze Gate. What happened to it?"

Cultivators sighed in unison as they looked at the image within the beam of resurrection.

There was a suspicious look in their eyes.

Despite God Taichu mending the Trace of Heaven for three lifetimes, there was still a large rift spanning tens of thousands of miles.

It was like a huge crack that trailed across the sky.

Those who saw this crack would feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

It looked very different from the Bronze Gate that they saw later.

Bronze Gate's origins were still a mystery to many people at this moment.

...

Lin Qi was solemnly welcomed into the core of the Weapon Spirit clan by the Elders in the presence of countless people.

It was also in the middle of that huge volcano.

Although they were a sin clan, the cultivators from the outside world relied on them to help build treasures to fight the Extraterrestrial Devils.

It was for this reason that they did not destroy the core inheritance place known as the "volcanic furnace" of the weapon spirit clan.

The temperature inside the volcanic furnace was extremely high.

As a mortal, Lin Qi could not handle it.

For Lin Qi to enter the volcanic furnace, the elders of the Weapon Spirit clan found a body-protection spirit bead.

In the volcanic furnace, Lin Qi was responsible for two main tasks from the moment he entered.

As the first task, Lin Qi had to teach the other clansmen of the Weapon Spirit clan how to refine such a spirit weapon with weapon spirit.

The second was the clan's top secret.

Lin Qi's refining talent was to be used to create a true Supreme Spirit sword.

The Weapon Spirit clan sought to overthrow their clan identity with this true Supreme sword.

Consequently, there has been a continuous flow of precious refining materials sent into the volcano furnace since the day Lin Qi entered it.

There were even many elders of the Weapon Spirit clan who assisted Lin Qi.

In the volcanic furnace, almost all members of the Weapon Spirit clan worked together to create a weapon that surpassed all weapons of the past, even surpassing the immortal-grade spirit weapon.

...

(At the light beam of resurrection)

"Terrifying! With the materials used to refine this spirit sword, at least ten immortal weapons can be refined!"

"Even through the light beam of resurrection, I can feel the terrifying might emanating from this spirit sword. But why wasn't such an invincible spirit sword passed down?"

"Not to mention being passed down, we have not even heard any news about this spirit sword."

Likewise, Su Qingyi and other ancient goddesses looked suspiciously at the image in front of them.

No one had heard of such a terrifying spirit sword whose quality exceeded that of an ancient divine weapon like the Linglong Treasure Mirror.

It was as if this spirit sword had never existed.

However, only Mu Lingsha looked solemn at this moment.

After staring blankly at the image for a long time, she slowly spoke, "You've all seen this sword already. This sword... it's me."
