Chapter 562: 0359 Sword Beyond Supreme (4k)

Lu Chenzhou’s heart shook.

Is this the vision in the minds of all Absolute Peak experts?

To create myths with the power of mortals!

Northern Guardian King said:

"Become a Lamp Keeper, complete the tasks, and you can exchange them for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures not available in the War Merit Store, as well as special opportunities, such as exploring small realms and chances for enlightenment. You should have heard of the Candle Realm; though it shortens lifespan, it’s a way for a Martial Arts Genius to rapidly enhance their strength. Grandmasters can enter."

"I will consider my situation. If there’s no necessity, it’s better not to shorten my lifespan... I want to live longer."

"It’s all voluntary."

Before leaving the Martial Arts Department, Lu Chenzhou’s account added 10,000 battle merits.

A Lamp Keeper, even if doing nothing each year, can receive this much salary. He, with a master’s cultivation, is just a basic Lamp Keeper. Becoming a grandmaster and passing the assessment allows promotion to intermediate Lamp Keeper, increasing authority and receiving an annual salary of 50,000 battle merits. Great Grandmasters are rated as high-level, Kings are rated as special-level, and all fourteen Absolute Peaks are [Lamp Masters].

Lamp Masters have higher authority with the Candle Dragon Order.

...

Three days later.

Su City Dragon Martial.

The three siblings returned.

This time they accepted the appointment quietly, to avoid alerting the enemy.

Da Xia will launch a storm action, first killing some surrender factions to set an example.

According to instructions from above, base cities above the second level need to establish [Lamp Keeper Branches], with personnel needing to include at least one intermediate Lamp Keeper. As Su City is a first-level base city, it requires a high-level Lamp Keeper, which translates to a Great Grandmaster. This heavy responsibility naturally falls to Gongsun Ying, as the Elder of Cold Mountain is still in seclusion breaking through the sixth level.

After becoming a grandmaster, every retreat might take years.

The current longest record for seclusion is by Daoist Hong from Qingcheng, who retreated for a Jiazi before breaking the seventh barrier.

...

In the practice room.

Lu Chenzhou was tinkering with the Candle Dragon Order, a small token with many functions.

Clatter—

[Giant Rat Chain] spilled out a mountain of clutter, which vanished upon a capture with the Candle Dragon Order. He directed his consciousness inside the Candle Dragon Order, where a small world appeared. The world was not fixed, capable of housing items as long as their volume did not exceed one thousand cubic meters, even if the item was a thousand meters long.

"The Giant Rat Chain is useless. I’ll give it to Yao’er when she grows up."

Li Yao was only three years old, needing to wait until she was five to start punching, so as not to affect her development.

During this period, Li Gui would buy Yao’er some Martial Arts Supplements to strengthen her foundation.

Just these expenses amount to tens of millions each year; Yao’er’s starting line is naturally higher than ordinary children.

"Open the Candle Dragon Treasury."

The Candle Dragon Order emitted a dazzling light, projecting scenes in the void.

Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Divine Weapons, Cultivation Techniques, Martial Arts... everything was available.

Lu Chenzhou casually clicked on one of them.

[Nine Curves Treasure Medicine (Sea Treasure), Earth-grade Treasure Medicine, can increase acupoint opening speed, effectiveness diminishes with higher realms, ineffective for Heavenly Kings, value 100 Candle Fire]

[Note: Inventory of 3 items]

This treasure medicine was refined from the [Nine Curves Treasure Medicine] valued at 1 million battle merits in the War Merit Store.

However, the War Merit Store often faces stock shortages, immediately snatched by grandmasters and Great Grandmasters upon appearance.

Yet here, there were 3 in inventory, indicating ample supply.

Of course, since the Lamp Keeper system was newly built, everyone lacked [Candle Fire], and there had been no exchanges yet.

Having multiple channels was unquestionably advantageous.

From then on, he would strive to earn money both ways.

Suddenly, Lu Chenzhou spotted something interesting.

[Qingxun Magic Sword (??), suspected to be beyond an unparalleled divine weapon, a relic from the Heavenly Sword Sect, obtained by Cangtian Dragon King while exploring Qingxun World, found in a Qi Refiner’s ruins. This nameless sword’s functions are unknown, requiring advanced Sword Control Technique for mastery. Dragon King stored it in the "Candle Dragon Source Realm," available for exchange by Lamp Keepers, valued at 10,000 Candle Fire.]

[Note: Inventory: 1 item]

"Beyond unparalleled?"

Lu Chenzhou revealed a look of shock.

In the new era, the ranks of divine weapons have slightly increased compared to the old times, adding two new levels:

Supreme (Heavenly King),

Unparalleled (Absolute Peak).

Unparalleled is theoretical, with divine weapons forged by Absolute Peak experts using materials above the Heavenly Realm, all capable of being termed unparalleled.

Supreme divine weapons, only three existed in this world.

Da Xia, Po Suo, and the Western each possess one.

Da Xia’s Supreme divine weapon is the Cauldron Sword, which was originally Li Sword Immortal’s eighth rank flying sword but became merely a chunk of meteorite iron with lingering spirituality after years of wear in the void, upon falling to the human world. It was re-forged by a human divine craftsman and slowly restored to the Supreme level through time, now considered a sixth rank flying sword in the Great Wilderness.

"Could this magic sword be one of Li Sword Immortal’s secret treasures?"

Lu Chenzhou instinctively tapped the flying sword at his waist, asking: "Cauldron Sword, have you heard of Qingxun World?"

After a while, no response came, and he helplessly said: "Forgot, it ran away from home."

Suddenly, Cauldron Sword’s voice unexpectedly sounded: [That’s the master’s magic sword, named "Seven Luminaries," ranked seventh.]

Lu Chenzhou: "When did you come back?"

[...I never left!]

"Then why didn’t you respond to me?"

[Didn’t want to... And you never cared about whether I returned home during my disappearance, not even checking Jiangnan Wu University. I’m very disappointed!]

"You are a Supreme divine weapon sword spirit, can’t be lost."

[I don’t care, damn it, I’m so disappointed!]

"Alright, alright, it’s my fault this time, I was busy with the Breakthrough Third."

[Admitting it is good. How about it, seeing Seven Luminaries appear, are you tempted?]

"No, just curious."

[I’m curious too, how did that utterly insane man obtain Seven Luminaries? Did he accomplish the master’s sword dao test?]
