Chapter 2475 Yan
Observe the murals for a while.
A gleam of light flashed in Shen Changqing’s eyes.
“Heavenly Pattern!”
He saw traces of Tongtianqi patterns in the murals.
No.
To be precise.
It should be the trace of the incomplete Tongtianqi pattern.
In other words, there is an incomplete pattern of a heavenly weapon hidden in the mural in the hall, and what the later generations have to do is to master this incomplete pattern of a heavenly weapon and then refine it into a magic weapon of the half-step immortal king level.
You can say that.
This level of test is indeed quite difficult.
You know.
Even if a true fourth-rank weapon refining master came, he might not be able to refine the corresponding magic weapon according to Duanmu Ci’s requirements.
This is because in order to refine such a magical weapon, one must comprehend and master an unfamiliar celestial weapon pattern.
Tongtianqi pattern.
Even the incomplete patterns of the Tongtian weapon are full of endless mysteries.
It is definitely not an easy task to master this level of Tongtian weapon patterns.
No wonder.
Why did Duanmu Ci give 100,000 years?
Even after a hundred thousand years, not many people would be able to truly understand it.
Of course.
Shen Changqing was able to comprehend thirty-six incomplete celestial weapon patterns in hundreds of thousands of years. He considered himself to be top-notch in terms of comprehension. If he was given a thousand years to comprehend one incomplete celestial weapon pattern, it would naturally be no problem for him to do so.
but.
This time is too long.
Shen Changqing didn’t want to waste too much time here.
so.
He looked at Chi Lian who was standing aside.
“Besides comprehending the incomplete Tongtian pattern in the mural, is there any other way to obtain the inheritance?”
“You are indeed extraordinary. You were able to quickly figure out that there is an incomplete Heaven-reaching Artifact Pattern hidden in the mural!!”
Shen Changqing’s words caused Chi Lian’s icy face to change slightly.
The fact that he could see the clues of the mural so quickly meant that Shen Changqing’s weapon refining level was the same as she thought, and he was a fourth-level weapon refining master.
If he wasn’t a fourth-rank weapon refining master, how could he have figured out the mystery of the mural so quickly?
Immediately.
Chi Lian said: “It’s not that there are no other methods. If you can comprehend the complete Tongtian pattern, you can be exempted from all the tests and directly obtain the inheritance of my master.”
“but–“
“Anyone who has mastered the complete Tongtian Equipment Pattern can be called a fifth-level grandmaster.”
“Even if you have some achievements in refining equipment, it is impossible for you to comprehend the complete Tongtian Equipment Pattern—”
When Chi Lian said this, there was a hint of disdain on his face.
How could an ordinary cultivator comprehend the complete Tongtian weapon pattern?
If the Tongtian Weapon Pattern was really so easy to comprehend, then in ancient times, Duanmu Ci would not be the only one who could enter the fifth-level grandmaster level.
However.
Just as Chi Lian finished speaking, Shen Changqing hooked his right hand in the air, and a terrifying aura of the Tao emanated from it. The entire hall trembled slightly, and the aura of Tao on the murals seemed to be attracted by something.
“Tong…Tongtian Instrument Pattern!!!”
Chi Lian looked at the mysterious runes drawn by Shen Changqing in the void. The terrifying aura of the great Dao of heaven and earth contained in the runes made the expression on her face melt like an iceberg, and her look became horrified.
The pattern of a celestial weapon!
As the top magic weapon refined by Duanmu Ci in the past, Chi Lian had naturally witnessed the existence of the Tongtian weapon pattern.
That extremely terrifying aura makes people feel suffocated.
She never imagined that the cultivator in front of her was not only a fourth-rank weapon refining master, but a fifth-rank grandmaster who had already mastered the complete Tongtian weapon pattern.
The second fifth-rank grandmaster since Duanmu Ci.
Before Chi Lian could speak, divine light emerged from the mural, and an elegant monk in green clothes walked out of the divine light and slowly came to Shen Changqing.
Seeing the blue-robed monk appear, Chi Lian’s face was filled with excitement.
“Owner……”
“You’ve suffered a lot these years.”
The green-robed monk glanced at Chi Lian with a gentle smile on his face, then looked at Shen Changqing and bowed politely.
“Duanmu Ci greets fellow Taoist!”
“Shen Changqing has met Grandmaster Duanmu!”
Shen Changqing also bowed in return.
He could see that Duanmu Ci was now just a remnant of soul, and this was also the real inheritance left by the other party here.
When a cultivator is able to comprehend the incomplete heavenly weapon patterns on the mural and then refine the corresponding magical weapon, the remnant of Duanmu Ci in the mural will appear.
But right now.
It was the aura of the Tongtian weapon pattern drawn by Shen Changqing that awakened the other party’s residual soul.
“I am not worthy of the title of Grandmaster. You and I can just call each other fellow Daoist. At such a young age, Fellow Daoist Shen has already reached the fifth level of Grandmaster. Your future achievements will be limitless!”
Duanmu Ci could also see that Shen Changqing’s bone age was not too old, and his age would not exceed one million years at most.
Less than a million years.
He is the fifth-rank grandmaster.
Even Duanmu Ci felt inferior to such an achievement.
“Thinking back, I started practicing at the age of ten, and started refining equipment at the age of fifteen. It took me a full 12 million years before I was lucky enough to comprehend the complete Tongtian Equipment Pattern and break through to the realm of the fifth-level grandmaster.
At that time, I thought that I was unrivaled in the art of refining equipment.
Now it seems that my initial arrogance and complacency were a bit short-sighted! “
“Fellow Daoist Duanmu is too modest. I have also heard of your title as the only fifth-rank weapon refining grandmaster in ancient times for a long time.
Over the tens of millions of years since ancient times, no one except me has been able to reach this point.
The fact that I have come this far is purely due to chance.”
Shen Changqing shook his head.
This is not him being modest.
But he was clear about the gap between himself and Duanmu Ci.
As a fifth-rank weapon refining grandmaster, Duanmu Ci’s background is absolutely incomparable to what he has now.
Nothing else to say.
Just by looking at the previous complete guide to first and second level grandmaster refining equipment, one can see the difference between the two.
Duanmu Ci’s achievement of being a fifth-rank grandmaster was truly a steady and cautious one, and his ability to comprehend the complete Tongtian weapon pattern and directly attain the status of a fifth-rank grandmaster was not a trick.
Instead, the other party relied on his own accumulation and was finally able to transform and prove his truth.
In comparison.
Shen Changqing’s own foundation is much worse.
He can prove the truth.
It means taking a shortcut.
but–
It is just a comparison with Duanmu Ci.
If compared with other weapon-refining masters in the world today, Shen Changqing would admit to being second, and no one would dare to claim to be first.
Hearing Shen Changqing’s words, Duanmu Ci smiled slightly, and his expression seemed to become much gentler.
“No matter what, your achievements are truly astonishing. If it were in the past, I would definitely sit down and discuss Taoism with you.
It’s a pity that I am now just a remnant of soul, and it is difficult for me to survive in this time.”
“So, I won’t say any more words. Since you are a fifth-rank grandmaster, it won’t be an insult if I leave my inheritance to you.”
Speaking of this.
Duanmu Ci looked at Chi Lian who was standing aside.
“There is just one thing I would like to ask for your help.”
“Fellow Daoist Duanmu, please speak!”
“Chi Lian has guarded this place for me for many years and endured loneliness for tens of millions of years. Now I am passing on my inheritance to you, and she doesn’t have to stay here any longer.
So I hope that you can take Chi Lian with you when you leave.
If nothing else, it would be enough to give her a place to stay in the future!”
“Owner–“
Chi Lian’s pretty face was filled with sorrow. When she was about to speak, Duanmu Ci raised his hand to stop her. The latter’s eyes had already fallen on Shen Changqing again.
To this.
Shen Changqing nodded: “I will agree to Daoist Fellow Duanmu’s request. When I leave this time, I will take Daoist Fellow Chilian with me. At that time, she can choose whether to stay in my sect to practice or leave on her own.”
“Thank you, fellow Taoist!”
Duanmu Ci smiled with relief, and then his figure became much more illusory.
“Fellow Daoist, please take a good look. This is the inheritance left by me, Duanmu Ci—”
The words fell.
The residual soul spread out violently.
In an instant, the scattered souls turned into a long river and appeared in front of Shen Changqing.
The long river reaches the sky.
The charm of the Tao is as vast as the abyss.
Shen Changqing’s gaze fell on this long river of avenue, and countless insights suddenly emerged in his mind.
These things.
This is what Duanmu Ci realized during his life-long experience of refining weapons.
At the end of the Tongtian River, Shen Changqing saw a flash of fire, and then saw the fire suddenly grow at a speed visible to the n*ked eye, turning into a raging flame that swept across the void hall.
An endless mysterious aura suddenly appeared as the flames erupted.
Shen Changqing stood still. The raging fire that seemed extremely intimidating was actually not hot at all.
His eyes.
Stare closely into the depths of the flames.
There.
Shen Changqing saw extremely mysterious patterns.
“Heavenly Pattern!”
“This is the Tongtian Pattern that Duanmu Ci possesses!”
The moment Shen Changqing looked at the mysterious patterns, his many insights became clear. There seemed to be patterns outlined in his sea of consciousness, which were exactly the same as the flames before his eyes.
After a long time.
The long river of the road disappeared.
Shen Changqing closed his eyes, and his whole body became like a dead tree, as if he was falling into an endless sleep.
Maybe a year.
Or maybe a hundred years.
Shen Changqing opened his eyes again.
This moment.
A smile finally appeared on his face.
“inflammation!”
This is the Tongtian weapon pattern left by Duanmu Ci, which is completely different from the Ju Nai that Shen Changqing originally comprehended.
now.
Shen Changqing has already engraved this Tongtian Weapon Pattern in his sea of consciousness. Although he has not truly comprehended all of its mysteries, as long as he gives himself time to slowly digest it, there will be no problem in mastering the second Tongtian Weapon Pattern.
Another point is.
Duanmu Ci not only left behind the Tongtian weapon pattern, but also left behind all of his own insights into weapon refining.
These things are of great use even to Shen Changqing now.
If he can comprehend it later, even if it doesn’t allow him to make a breakthrough in refining equipment, it can make his previous foundation more solid.
Things to know.
Only with a solid foundation can you go further in the future.
You can say that.
The inheritance obtained this time was somewhat beyond Shen Changqing’s expectations. (End of this chapter)
