Chapter 428: Luring Out the Magic Treasures
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Towards Lin Jiufeng’s successive questions, the Black Tortoise and the other divine weapons were clearly puzzled.
“Which world is the exit to?”
“What has the outside world become after tens of thousands of years?”
“After so many years, although we are already used to the life in the Weapon Armory Valley, we still yearn for the outside world.”
The Spatial Slashing Sword, the Primal Chaos War Spear, and the Black Tortoise answered one after another.
But the focus of the three people was completely different.
The Primal Chaos War Spear was concerned about which world the exit of the Weapon Armory Valley was connected to.
The Black Tortoise was concerned about what the outside world had become.
The Spatial Slashing Sword answered Lin Jiufeng’s first question.
“Before you guys entered the Weapon Armory Valley, you were all weapons of the mortal realm. How much do you guys know about the outside world or this world?” Lin Jiufeng asked the Black Tortoise.
“Before we entered the Weapon Armory Valley, we didn’t give birth to much of our own intelligence. After we entered the Weapon Armory Valley, we were deceived by the General Appointing Platform. After being tortured, we gave birth to our own intelligence,” the Black Tortoise replied solemnly.
At the same time, it also glanced at the General Appointing Platform. There was still some hatred inside.
The General Appointing Platform smiled awkwardly.
“I have a hazy memory of my time before entering the Weapon Armory Valley. At that time, I was the most powerful war sword in Master’s hand. We reigned supreme in the world and were invincible. My status in the mortal realm was also extremely high.” The Spatial Slashing Sword recalled the past with a clear voice.
“You asked which world is the Weapon Armory Valley connected to? What exactly do you mean?” The Primal Chaos War Spear was very sensitive to this question.
Lin Jiufeng replied, “Outside the Weapon Armory Valley, there’s a black hole. The black hole is connected to an unknown passageway. There are many entrances to many worlds inside that passageway. We came here through one of the entrances, and the place where this black hole exists is not the mortal realm, not the Second World, nor the Third World, but the Fourth World.”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the weapons, including the Turtle Armor, changed drastically.
“The Fourth World!!!”
The Black Tortoise even cried out in surprise, its eyes widened.
The phantom that appeared from the Primal Chaos War Spear also trembled violently at this moment. Clearly, it wasn’t calm at all.
The Spatial Slashing Sword frowned and said softly, “In my memory, the Fourth World is a world that cannot be mentioned.”
“Why is it a world that cannot be mentioned?” Lin Jiufeng immediately asked.
“I don’t know.” The Spatial Slashing Sword shook her head slightly. She didn’t remember much about her past memories. At that time, her intelligence had only just begun to sprout.
“The Fourth World was very popular for a period of time, but then the Fourth World became a taboo among top powerhouses.” Turtle Armor, who had been watching the show with its hands behind its back, said solemnly.
At this moment, its expression was solemn. It no longer had the humorous and relaxed expression from before.
“Please enlighten me.” Lin Jiufeng immediately looked at the Turtle Armor.
It was the same for the General Appointing Platform. Although he remembered what happened in the Weapon Armory Valley, he hadn’t remembered all the vast memories of the past.
“The mortal realm has always been the center of this world. No matter how many worlds you divide into, the Major Worlds, the Medium Worlds, or the Small worlds, these worlds are all dependent on the foundation of the mortal realm.”
“Therefore, the mortal realm is worthy of being the First World.”
“But different factions rose up in the world. Due to the birth of different races, the mortal realm also began to split, so the Second World and Third World were born one after another.”
“The birth of the Second World and Third World made the struggles between the major races become more and more frequent. At that time, the Seven Races of the Ancient Age appeared powerfully in the eyes of the world.”
“As soon as they appeared, they directly swept through that era. Then, the Second and Third World became theirs.”
“At that time, the powerhouses of the mortal realm worked together to deal with the Seven Races of the Ancient Age, but the strength of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age was still too huge. Too many people died in battle in the mortal realm. In the end, a true powerhouse appeared, fought and penetrated the Land of Nothingness, and swept through the Seven Races of the Ancient Age for 80,000 miles. Then, he pulled out the most powerful source energy of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age and created the Fourth World outside the Third World.”
“This is the origins of the Fourth World.” The Turtle Armor explained tirelessly, telling a past that very few people knew.
Lin Jiufeng and the General Appointing Platform were listening seriously. Not far away, the Black Tortoise and the other divine weapons were also listening carefully.
“You just said that a true powerhouse appeared and penetrated the Land of Nothingness. Then, he pulled out the most powerful source energy of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age and created the Fourth World outside the Third World. Who exactly is this true powerhouse?” Lin Jiufeng immediately asked.
The others were also very curious.
Very few people knew about this past, even those at the Immortal Emperor Realm.
This was obvious from the expressions of the divine weapons such as the Black Tortoise.
They were all powerful magic treasures at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm, but like Lin Jiufeng, they knew nothing about this matter.
Only terrifying existences like the Turtle Armor that had surpassed the Immortal Emperor Realm knew about the past that was sealed in history.
Of course, the General Appointing Platform should have also known of this in the past. It was just that the current him was far from a 10,000th of his former self, so it couldn’t be counted on.
“No one knows the specific characteristics of this true powerhouse. Everyone has different opinions. In that era back then, everyone who witnessed him had already died with the birth of the Fourth World.” The Turtle Armor shook its head. Unfortunately, it didn’t know either.
“But there are some rumors that I think are still quite convincing.” The Turtle Armor changed its tone and said to Lin Jiufeng.
“Please enlighten me.” Lin Jiufeng’s eyes lit up. He couldn’t wait to consult the Turtle Armor.
“I once heard a supreme existence say that the establishment of the Fourth World was actually a result of a respected Dragon Race powerhouse who sacrificed himself,” the Turtle Armor said to Lin Jiufeng.
“A powerhouse of the Dragon Race?” Lin Jiufeng’s expression changed. He suddenly remembered something that he had seen before.
When he came out of the Death Realm, he accidentally entered the Spell Realm, which was also the place where the Seven Races of the Ancient Age lived. He had seen many carriages of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age, and they were the descendants of the Dragon Race.
True Dragons that were difficult to find in the mortal realm were practically everywhere in the Seven Races of the Ancient Age. They were tamed and treated as carriages, having no status at all.
This might be related to the Dragon Race powerhouses that the Turtle Armor mentioned.
“Creating a world isn’t something that can be done out of thin air. Although that mysterious powerhouse extracted the source energies of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age, he still needs a huge container to support a world. Therefore, the supreme existence of the Dragon Race, the Ancestral Dragon, is the best container,” the Turtle Armor guessed.
Lin Jiufeng recalled silently.
“Therefore, the Fourth World was created by the true and mighty Ancestral Dragon of the Dragon Race.”
“The Ancestral Dragon was very powerful. When the mortal realm encountered a huge crisis, he appeared out of nowhere and defeated the Seven Races of the Ancient Age. Moreover, he swept through 80,000 miles and emptied the source energy of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age. Then, he used this source energy and his huge body to establish the Fourth World and sacrificed himself.”
“This can also explain why the Seven Races of the Ancient Age don’t have their own world now. Instead, they snatched the Spell Realm and used it as a place for them to live.”
“This is also where the resentment of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age towards the Dragon Race came from. They imprisoned and enslaved the descendants of the Ancestral Dragon without giving them any dignity at all. Actually, they are also taking revenge on the Ancestral Dragon for destroying their world and snatching away their source energies back then.”
“This way, the doubts in the past can finally be straightened out.”
Lin Jiufeng was now very convinced of this Ancestral Dragon legend that the Turtle Armor mentioned.
“The problem is, what exactly is the Fourth World for?” After Lin Jiufeng sorted out the matter, he asked something that he had been puzzled about for a long time.
The Ancestral Dragon sacrificed himself and gave up the future of the Dragon Race. What exactly was the purpose of the Fourth World that he created for?
This question also attracted the curiosity of other divine weapons, including the General Appointing Platform.
The other divine weapons were naturally serious about the Fourth World, but they had no idea what the Fourth World was for.
The Turtle Armor reached out and stroked the nonexistent beard on its chin. It slowly paced around with one hand behind its back. It gently knocked on its turtle shell, emitting tapping sounds.
“The Fourth World is different from the other worlds. There aren’t many races in the Fourth World. The Fourth World is essentially a pure battlefield,” the Turtle Armor said.
“Since it’s a pure battlefield, why is it that after so many years, only a few people still know about the Fourth World?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.
“I don’t know about that. To be honest, I’ve stayed in the Weapon Armory Valley for tens of thousands of years, and I know very little about the outside world. I once heard about the Fourth World from a supreme existence. As for what use the Fourth World has exactly? Was it worth it for the Ancestral Dragon to give up his life and the future of the Dragon Race in order to create it? I don’t know any of the answers.” The Turtle Armor shook its head.
Ever since the General Appointing Platform didn’t call it out that time to participate in the war, it had been in a deep sleep and rarely woke up.
“So, outside this Weapon Armory Valley is the Fourth World. Don’t you guys want to explore it?” Lin Jiufeng’s eyes suddenly rolled and he began to tempt the divine weapons like the Turtle Armor and the Black Tortoise.
If he could lure them into leaving the Weapon Armory Valley and entering the Fourth World, then Lin Jiufeng, who was exploring the Fourth World, would have more confidence.
Moreover, later on, Lin Jiufeng could once again lure them into entering the mortal realm and use their strength to resist the invasion of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age.
The current top powerhouses of the mortal realm were really too lacking. Time was completely insufficient for the mortal realm. He didn’t know when the attack of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age would arrive. It might be ten years later, or it might be in the very next moment. Therefore, Lin Jiufeng had to make the best use of all the forces that he could contact to resist the Seven Races of the Ancient Age.
The divine weapons in the Weapon Armory Valley were such forces.
Hearing Lin Jiufeng’s words, some divine weapons were tempted, some were indifferent, and some seemed to be a little hesitant.
The Turtle Armor was nonchalant. It had its hands behind its back and had a turtle shell on its back. It walked around lightly on its steps. “After staying in the Weapon Armory Valley for so many years, my body is starting to rust. I want to go out and take a look.”
As soon as these words came out, the Spatial Slashing Sword was tempted and said, “I also want to go out and take a look at the Fourth World and see the current changes in the mortal realm.”
As for the Primal Chaos War Spear and the Black Tortoise that liked the Spatial Slashing Sword, they were originally hesitating about whether to leave the Weapon Armory Valley. Now, they immediately agreed without hesitation.
The Primal Chaos War Spear and the Black Tortoise had loved the Spatial Slashing Sword for many years since their consciousness was born. The Spatial Slashing Sword had never chosen either of them. She only regarded them as good brothers.
But the Primal Chaos War Spear and the Black Tortoise still insisted on liking the Spatial Slashing Sword.
Hence, the two of them decided to leave with her without hesitation.
The Black Tortoise, the Primal Chaos War Spear, and the Spatial Slashing Sword. The three top Immortal Emperor-level magic treasures were about to leave, but the other divine weapons hesitated.
“There’s a mysterious and special substance in the Weapon Armory. It’s very beneficial for magic treasures like us. After leaving the Weapon Armory Valley, there won’t be such a special substance in the outside world anymore. In that case, won’t our improvement slow down?” A weapon raised such a question.
This was also what the other divine weapons were worried about.
Why did they stay in the Weapon Armory Valley all this time?
It was because the environment in the Weapon Armory Valley was beneficial to them.
After leaving the Weapon Armory Valley, the extent of their improvement would decrease and stop. The gains wouldn’t make up for the losses.
Although the Weapon Armory Valley wasn’t that quiet and peaceful. This place was also filled with struggles, oppression, and death, no different from the outside world.
But as long as they could improve, these magic treasures and divine weapons would endure it.
Seeing their hesitation, Lin Jiufeng immediately said, “Everyone, although there’s energy in the Weapon Armory Valley that’s suitable for improving you guys, the Weapon Armory Valley is too small. It’s like a well. Compared to the vast world outside, you guys are just frogs in the well now. After staying in the Weapon Armory Valley for too long, your hearts and minds will become narrow. Why don’t you follow me to see the incomparably vast world outside?”
“As for the problem that everyone is worried about after leaving the Weapon Armory, which is that your own progress will be slow, I think this problem can be completely eliminated.”
“Everyone has seen the evolution method of the magic treasures that I was cultivating just now. After leaving the Weapon Armory Valley, all you have to do is to cultivate this cultivation technique and then complete your own evolution. I’m your blueprint. I will forge my flesh and blood into a powerful weapon and press forward. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can ask me. I will tell you everything I know. Moreover, I firmly believe that only by leaving the Weapon Armory Valley can everyone obtain a true transformation.”
“As the saying goes, there’s no need for mulberry fields to bury one’s bones. There’s nowhere in life that isn’t green mountains! A true powerhouse shouldn’t be limited to a valley. Although this valley is like a Small World in itself, it’s still too small in the end. It can’t accommodate huge whales.”
“As an existence who is born in the world, you should look at the beautiful sceneries of the various worlds. The Second World, the Fourth World, the mortal realm, and the territory of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age. These are all worthy for everyone to take a look at. Don’t stay in the Weapon Armory Valley and waste your time.”
Lin Jiufeng displayed his eloquence and talked about the beauty of the outside world non-stop.
He wanted to lure this group of magic treasures with powerful combat strength into leaving. After entering the mortal realm, when the Seven Races of the Ancient Age attacked, they would definitely help out.
With the lack of top powerhouses in the mortal realm, these divine weapons would become the pillars of the mortal realm.
As Lin Jiufeng talked non-stop, the divine weapons that followed the Black Tortoise were all tempted by his confident speech.
Just as Lin Jiufeng said, the world was huge. They shouldn’t be limited to the Weapon Armory Valley.
Moreover, after leaving the Weapon Armory Valley, they also had the magic treasure evolution technique to cultivate. They would still make progress.
With such a huge hidden danger resolved, these divine weapons didn’t hesitate too much. After a short period of thought, they agreed to leave the Weapon Armory Valley to take a look at the outside world.
Seeing this, Lin Jiufeng smiled. He was very satisfied.
Although these divine weapons didn’t say that they would help the mortal realm.
Of course, Lin Jiufeng didn’t mention this matter either.
But he believed that as long as these magic treasures felt the vastness of the world and the value of freedom, then when the army of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age attacked, they would resist the Seven Races of the Ancient Age on their own without needing to be mobilized.
“Since everyone is willing to leave the Weapon Armory Valley, I’m also willing to lead the way for everyone,” Lin Jiufeng said with a smile. At this moment, he didn’t want to investigate what was in the depths of the Weapon Armory Valley. As long as he could bluff this group of divine weapons out, even if he didn’t gain anything in the Fourth World, he would be very happy.
“I haven’t left the Weapon Armory Valley in tens of thousands of years. Now that I’m suddenly leaving, I’m actually a little anxious and apprehensive.” The Black Tortoise laughed at itself.
“With the magic treasure evolution technique, the Weapon Armory Valley is indeed unable to restrain us. I want to take a look at the outside world. Even if I die in the end, at least I’ve seen the world. It will definitely be more exciting than the Weapon Armory Valley.” The Primal Chaos War Spear looked forward to it.
“Then there’s no time to lose. I’ll bring you guys out now. The black hole outside the world of the Weapon Armory Valley is still a little mysterious.” Lin Jiufeng didn’t hesitate and quickly walked out of the Weapon Armory Valley.
He didn’t want to explore what secrets were hidden deep in the Weapon Armory Valley anymore. The most important thing now was to lure this group of magic treasures out.
Following the path that he had come from, Lin Jiufeng began to quickly evacuate with this group of magic treasures.
When he came, he was very careful. Now that he was leaving, he strode in large steps.
Finally, under Lin Jiufeng’s subtle attention, he found the spatial node. Then, he punched out and directly opened the connection between the Weapon Armory Valley and the black hole. Then, he expanded this connection into a passageway. At the end of the passageway was the dark black hole.
“Your bright futures are waiting for you guys. Please go ahead!” Lin Jiufeng was like a gentleman as he bowed to the group of magic treasures.
They stopped one by one. It wasn’t that they regretted their decision, but they were a little afraid to be the first to step out.
“Each of you is tens of thousands of years old, yet all of you are still so shy and afraid. It’s really embarrassing.” The Turtle Armor was very disdainful. It was unafraid. Its own powerful strength was its confidence. Although it didn’t make a move this time, its aura spread, suppressing everyone until it was difficult to breathe.
The Turtle Armor swaggered into the depths of the black hole. Then, it stood in the black hole and let the energy inside wash over its body, unmoved. Then, it looked at the world in the Weapon Armory Valley. With a trace of emotion on its face, it smacked its lips and said, “Looking at it this way, the Weapon Armory Valley is really small.”
As soon as these words came out, the other magic treasures couldn’t sit still anymore.
One after another, they entered the black hole.
Finally, it was Lin Jiufeng and the General Appointing Platform.
Then, under everyone’s gaze, Lin Jiufeng closed the door of the black hole and the Weapon Armory Valley, restoring the environment to its previous state.
[Lured out a group of divine weapons. Do you want to Sign-In?]
A trace of surprise appeared on Lin Jiufeng’s face. He really didn’t expect that he could actually sign in to this.
Signing in for luring out the magic treasures? What good things could he sign in for?
Lin Jiufeng was looking forward to it.
