Chapter 247.1
Because so many things were upgraded, anomalies were discovered the very next day.
Sword Elder came rushing in, saying, Master, theres a problem with our Xuanxiao Divine Sword!
Lin Beifan calmly asked, Whats the problem?
Master!
Sword Elder said with a bow, Today, on a whim, I wanted to practice a few sword moves with the Xuanxiao Divine Sword, but the divine sword wouldnt let me touch it. It even flew around wildly, acting very angry! Amidst its anger, there was also a hint of disdain, which was extremely weird!
As he was speaking, the Xuanxiao Divine Sword flew over with a whoosh.
It circled around Lin Beifan, emitting a cheerful sword hum, seemingly very happy right now.
Then, it landed in front of Sword Elder, making a clanging sound as if mocking him.
Sword Elder said with a dumbfounded expression, Master, look, this is what I mean. Its looking down on me!
I think youre overthinking it, Lin Beifan replied as he reached out, and the divine sword flew into his hand.
When the divine sword was first forged, it would fly around to choose its own master. Tell me, which other divine sword in the world behaves so strangely? Acting even more strangely now is not surprising at all!
Is that really the case? Sword Elder hesitated.
He felt that the divine sword was completely different now. It had a touch of humanity; it would fly around casually without anyone controlling it, and it could even express emotions, not like a sword but more like a child.
Moreover, he felt a tremendous threat emanating from the sword.
Its truly absurd that a mere sword could make him, a Grandmaster, feel threatened!
At that moment, Ouyezi hurried over and asked, I heard theres a problem with the divine sword. Whats the issue?
This divine sword was his pride and joy, even a small problem with it would made him uneasy.
The Sword Elder quickly briefed Ouyezi on the situation with the divine sword.
Ouyezi furrowed his brow: Youre saying this sword is showing human-like behavior and even made you feel threatened? Thats impossible. While the divine sword possesses spirit, its mostly instinctual. How could it have intelligence? And no matter how powerful a divine sword is, a sword is just a weapon. If it doesnt move, its an inanimate object. How could it possibly make you feel threatened?
Just then, as if offended by being underestimated, the Xuanxiao Divine Sword became angry.
It actually released a flame that burned off a single strand of Ouyezis hair.
With an expressionless face, the Sword Elder asked, Do you feel threatened now?
Ouyezi, sweating profusely, replied, I do feel it now!
Lin Beifan gently tapped the swords blade and said, Were all on the same side here, so stop playing around. Be a bit more behaved for me!
The divine sword let out a sword cry as if in response, then became quiet.
Ouyezi was greatly shocked: Its so human-like this divine sword its very possible that
Possible what? the Sword Elder asked.
It might it might have undergone a transformation and become stronger!
Ouyezi said excitedly, Just like a person practicing martial arts, through training, one becomes stronger step by step! The same is true for a sword. The sword can grow stronger by infusing it with more precious materials and forging it with even more advanced techniques!
But this method relies on humans. Yet, this divine sword can transform and strengthen itself automatically, which is unheard of throughout history! No, I must study it thoroughly!
Saying so, he eagerly reached out to grab the sword.
A flame burst forth from the sword, burning Ouyezi from head to toe.
Ouyezi let out a scream.
After the flames died down, Ouyezi was charred black all over.
Opening his mouth, he let out a puff of smoke and said resentfully, Your Majesty, why didnt you control the sword?
I cant control it!
Lin Beifan sighed, Its because you wanted to study it. If it were you, would you like to be studied by others?
Ouyezi:
So, you should give up on that idea, or I might have to collect your remains later!
Ouyezi:
Then, Lin Beifan had someone bring a towel, clean water, and a set of clothes.
After Ouyezi cleaned up, he finally looked like a human again.
However, his hair, eyebrows, and beard were all gone, making him look like a boiled egg, which is very funny,
Lin Beifan suspected that the divine sword did it on purpose.
He didnt know who it had learned such mischief from
At that moment, the Peerless Spear Immortal came running with his long spear: Master, theres something weird about this spear!
Lin Beifan took a sip of tea and calmly asked, Whats wrong?
Master Ouyezi, youre here too, thats great!
The Peerless Spear Immortal put down the spear and said, This morning, I was about to practice spear techniques with the divine spear when I accidentally summoned a tornado that destroyed the yard! Luckily, I reacted quickly and stopped, or my whole house would have been gone!
Later, when I took the divine spear out to the wilderness to practice, I found that its power had increased several times. A casual swing could conjure a tornado, which is very amazing!
Ouyezi exclaimed, Impossible! But the spear is just a quasi-divine weapon, not a true divine weapon! Although its powerful, it should only be able to summon strong winds, not a tornado!
Dont believe me? Watch this! The Peerless Spear Immortal raised the divine spear towards the sky.
A small tornado shot out from the tip of the spear, stirring up the clouds in the sky.
Impossible! How can this spear be so powerful? It has reached the level of a true divine weapon! Ouyezi exclaimed frantically.
He had forged this divine spear, but he was better at forging swords, not spears.
Therefore, the spear had only reached the level of a quasi-divine weapon despite using all kinds of materials and his forging techniques.
But now, it had become a true divine weapon!
Doubt surged in his heart: Was this really the spear I forged?
He took the divine spear and examined it, finding that it was indeed the one he had made without any change.
Yet, when he thrust it upward before, it unleashed a tornado.
All of this seemed to shatter his worldview.
Ouyezi ranted wildly, Impossible! This is completely impossible
Lin Beifan watched with amusement and chuckled, Master Ouyezi, perhaps your forging skills have improved, so youve unconsciously created a divine weapon without realizing it!
Is that really the case? Ouyezi was very skeptical.
Through continuous and relentless refinement over the past few days, he felt that his skills had improved significantly.
But not to this level! This is too bizarre.
Master Ouyezi, whether its true or not, why not forge another divine sword to see? It just so happens that my disciple, Sword Elder, is in need of a suitable weapon. You could forge a divine sword for him!
Ouyezi was very tempted, Your Majesty is right, Ill give it a try! However, I cant be certain of creating a divine sword. I can only do my best!
With that, he immediately ran back, grabbed the materials, and headed into the mouth of the volcano, hammering away with a clang and a bang.
