Chapter 85: Sword Mountain’s Unprecedented Commotion
The divine weapons buried on the Sword Mountain seemed to have sensed something as well. They hummed non-stop. Half of their bodies were buried in the ground, but they began to shake violently. They felt like they were about to soar into the sky at any moment.
One had to know that there were thousands of weapons of various forms here. One could imagine the sounds they made.
The huge sound wave swept out to the surroundings with the Sword Mountain as the center, as if there were thousands of soldiers and horses that were charging menacingly.
“Have these weapons gone mad?! Why would they cause such a huge riot?”
Some who couldn’t hide in time were hit by the invisible force. They could suddenly taste blood in their mouths, and they suddenly spat out large mouthfuls of blood. Many people hurriedly activated their spiritual energy shields.
No one noticed that there were other things mixed in with this huge spiritual energy fluctuation. However, its speed was too fast. It was so fast that when it was born, everyone only saw a faint white shadow flash by. They rubbed their eyes and thought it was an illusion.
The sudden outbreak of the divine weapons on Sword Mountain caught everyone off guard. However, only Gu Xi’s place became a safe zone, as if Sword Mountain was afraid of him.
Compared to everyone who was busy defending against the sound waves and the violent spiritual power, he looked very comfortable, forming a stark contrast. Everyone’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
After an unknown amount of time, everything finally calmed down.
Divine bridges were erected on the horizon, crossing the entire Sword Mountain and landing above them. They could vaguely see the figures of countless weapons, swords, spears, and halberds, floating above their heads, the entire sky was on the verge of collapsing under the pressure.
It was as if they were going to fall down in the next second.
Seeing this, everyone felt a little apprehensive. If the riot just now had happened a few more times, no one would have been able to suppress it.
“I’ll go and find out what’s going on over there.”
In order to prevent something from happening to Sword Mountain, an elder with powerful spiritual power wanted to go and find out. However, the sharp Sword Intent around him forcefully stopped his footsteps.
It was hard for ordinary people to notice the changes in Sword Mountain, as it looked no different from usual. If one looked carefully, they would find that he was surrounded by invisible Sword Qi.
The powerful elder was still cautious and only released a wisp of spiritual sense.
However, the moment he released it, a tsunami-like Sword Intent came at him, covering the sky and Earth. His face turned pale and he retreated rapidly. Fortunately, he was supported by the people beside him.
“Elder, are you okay?”
He shook his head, but in the next second, he spat out fresh blood. His face was as pale as paper. Apparently, his spiritual sense had suffered a lot of injuries.
Fortunately, it was only his spiritual sense that was under that powerful pressure. If it were him who went in, he would probably be torn into pieces on the spot.
Seeing this, everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. One had to know that this elder was a Nirvana stage expert. He had not even entered Sword Mountain yet, but he had already suffered such a serious injury.
“Princess, the current situation of the Sword Mountain is unclear. Do you want your subordinates to send people to check it out?”
Even though the Sword Mountain had regained its calm, the commotion just now was too big. It was like a volcano that could erupt at any time, threatening the safety of the competition grounds. It was inevitable that some people were worried that it would erupt again.
“It’s fine. Since it was artificially induced, there’s no need to worry. We’ll investigate after the competition is over.”
There were records that the weapons forged were too heaven-defying, thus causing chaos in Sword Mountain. However, it did not last long. Moreover, there were several Nirvana stage experts present, and many of them had even reached the peak level of the Nirvana stage. Hence, Green Lotus Princess was not worried.
“The Sword Mountain had such a huge reaction. It’s too terrifying. The residual power of those divine weapons can not be underestimated even after such a long time.”
“What did this kid do?! It feels like the entire Sword Mountain has come to life!”
Everyone was in disbelief. A huge wave of emotions surged in their hearts. Previously, they could see Gu Xi’s every move. He clearly did not do anything, but Sword Mountain suddenly erupted. It was simply unbelievable.
However, Green Lotus Princess’s eyes were filled with excitement. “Things have become more and more interesting.”
After this incident, everyone no longer dared to underestimate Gu Xi. They looked at him as if he was a monster. Even Wang Dazhu could not do what he had just done.
“What kind of monster is this? Could it be that he is also quite talented in refining weapons?”
“That’s too unfair, right? It’s one thing for him to be so good at refining pills, but he is not inferior in refining weapons either.”
“It seems like we have spoken too soon. Before the battle is over, the outcome of the battle is still unknown.”
“He hasn’t even started refining yet, and he already has such a strange phenomenon. I wonder what he’ll look like if he succeeds.”
Everyone sighed. Their attitude toward Gu Xi was completely different from before, and they were actually looking forward to it.
Little did they know that when Bai Haoyu heard what they said about Gu Xi, he did not feel too good about it.
Everyone’s eyes were on Gu Xi as he finally took action. He had previously obtained the Nine Heavens Meteorite Sword embryo through the system, and now it would come in handy.
When they saw Gu Xi take out the pitch-black iron block, everyone’s jaws dropped.
“Is he planning to forge a weapon using that thing?”
They did not feel any spiritual energy in it, as if it was just a block of iron. It was very plain and ordinary. To the spectators, it was not worth their time to even light a fire for such a thing, yet Gu Xi wanted to use it to forge a weapon.
To put it bluntly, it was almost no different from the coal and rocks on the roadside.
“Even if he used it in the smelting process, it wouldn’t be of any use. It would be like wasted material. It wouldn’t bring any bonus and would instead affect the original quality of the weapon.”
Even if a big shot had extraordinary refining methods, he could not use such materials.
“Maybe, maybe there’s something special about it that we don’t know.”
