Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

The God-Slaying Spear and the Eight Desolations Lock mentioned by Zhou Zhihan could be considered as priority options, but since this was the work of the Star Palace, Meng Zhao might not be able to acquire these two divine weapons as he wished.

Therefore, one or more alternatives are needed.

Yan Congke is experienced and knowledgeable; he has even witnessed strange beasts coming back to life. He must have some destiny, so he might be able to provide relevant information and clues.

To be fair, Yan Congke had developed a strong liking for Meng Zhao at this time. Although he was unwilling to admit that he had become Meng Zhao's subordinate, he was still willing to help him resolve his doubts.

"Yes, I have seen three divine weapons in my life. Each one can be described as having captured the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon. In terms of mystery and secrets, they may not be inferior to that strange beast that looks like a celestial horse."

The Seven Treasures Sword in my hand, and the Yaoquan Sword in yours, may appear to be exquisitely crafted weapons, selected from among the best, but compared to these true divine weapons, the difference is immense.

The first divine weapon Yan Congke mentioned was a sword, a sword that was once renowned throughout the world, known to everyone in the martial arts world, and once used by someone to win the title of the number one sword in the world.

This sword is called Remnant Rainbow. Its blade is seven-colored, and its spine is slightly curved. Holding it is like having a remnant rainbow fall from the sky into your hand. It is flexible and its sword energy is at your command. Moreover, its sharpness is fierce and it can cut through anything. It once clashed with another divine sword, and the result was that Remnant Rainbow was the better sword.

The reason why the Remnant Rainbow Sword has such extraordinary characteristics is because of its material, which is a rare seven-colored meteorite iron. It can change size and shape at will, and the Remnant Rainbow Sword, which is forged from it, also inherits the characteristics of the seven-colored meteorite iron.

This sword even comes with a matching Remnant Rainbow Sword Manual, which is said to contain sixty-four sword techniques, each with sixty-four variations. It is an extremely complex and intricate sword technique. However, combined with the Remnant Rainbow Sword's ability to change size at will, twist and turn at will, and its sharp blade and unparalleled sword energy, it is enough to lay the foundation for a supreme sword technique.

Upon hearing the name "Broken Rainbow Sword," Meng Zhao instinctively thought of all its various uses.

For example, one could pierce the body of the dragon in the mountain with a sword, and then use the properties of the broken rainbow to instantly lengthen and enlarge the sword, thereby causing great damage to the dragon in the mountain.

To take it to an even more extreme level, like Sun Wukong entering the belly and internal organs of the mountain dragon, and using the divine weapon properties of the Remnant Rainbow to kill the mountain dragon from the inside out, would probably be more convenient and simpler than directly facing this giant beast or strange creature.

"Where did you see this Broken Rainbow Sword?"

Thinking that this divine sword might play a crucial role in dealing with the dragon in the mountain, Meng Zhao decided to investigate further.

Yan Congke seemed to have seen through Meng Zhao's thoughts, and with a chill, he warned Meng Zhao,
"This Broken Rainbow Sword is a divine weapon with an owner. I met its owner in a sword hut, who was also visiting the hut."

This man was no more than forty years old, dressed in white, with a hidden sword aura. His swordsmanship and skill far surpassed mine; even the master of the Sword Pavilion admitted that he was inferior to him.

Such a swordsman, coupled with such a powerful divine weapon, possesses combat strength that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Even if you possess extraordinary cultivation, unparalleled skill, and swordsmanship equal to or even surpass this person, you may not necessarily gain the upper hand against the Broken Rainbow Sword.

Therefore, it's best not to have any designs on him.

Meng Zhao, however, did not take it to heart. His martial arts skills improved every moment and every day, especially his Three-Part Returning to Origin Qi. At present, he was still unable to comprehend its mysteries and unleash its full power due to his shallow skill.

When his skill reaches its peak, with the characteristics of the Three-Part Returning Origin Qi and his extraordinary divine power, he will be able to compete with the world's top masters.

The owner of the Broken Rainbow Sword may indeed be an extremely skilled swordsman, but Meng Zhao still has absolute confidence and assurance that he can suppress his opponent and seize the divine sword.

Seeing Meng Zhao's resolute attitude, Yan Congke had no choice but to tell Meng Zhao the information he had learned.

That Sword Lodge, located twenty miles outside Huayun County, is the daily residence of a reclusive master swordsman. He is very old, has a wide circle of friends, and enjoys making friends, especially chatting with people who practice swordsmanship.

Yan Congke was qualified to enter the Sword Pavilion because of his extraordinary swordsmanship, and thus witnessed an extremely exciting sword debate and the terrifying power of the Broken Rainbow Sword.

The owner of the Broken Rainbow Sword, known as Cheng Yi'an by the Sword Pavilion Master, was not well-known in the martial arts world and had almost no significant reputation. However, this was by no means because Cheng Yi'an's martial arts skills were weak.

On the contrary, this person's martial arts skills and swordsmanship are extremely high. The reason why he is unknown is probably because he does not travel around the martial arts world. Most of the time, he moves among swordsmen as a simple swordsman.

Not everyone who practices swordsmanship can be called a swordsman. On the contrary, only a very small number of people who practice swordsmanship with true devotion and pursue the way of the sword as their lifelong goal deserve to be called swordsmen.

Such swordsmen are few in number and often don't care about fame and fortune in the martial arts world, thus forming their own small circle.

Cheng Yi'an is likely a well-known figure in this small circle, but in the vast martial arts world of the Tianyuan Kingdom, he is not worth mentioning.

As for Cheng Yi'an's identity, background, where he was, and what kind of connections he had, Yan Congke knew nothing.

To put it bluntly, Yan Congke had only met this person once. Although he coveted the Broken Rainbow Sword in the other person's hand, he was not confident that he could take it away, so he naturally did not bother to communicate with the other person.

People who meet by chance are strangers who may never meet again, so of course they don't care about such trivial matters.

Meng Zhao was slightly disappointed, but with such a name, the small group of swordsmen, and such an obvious clue as the Broken Rainbow Sword, it wasn't that there was absolutely no way to help.

The Star Palace where Zhou Zhihan resides is an extremely large assassin organization, a rare find in the world.

Such an organization may not be good in other aspects, but it must be excellent in terms of information channels.

By informing Zhou Zhihan of this crucial information, it might be possible to use the Star Palace's channels and undercover agents to gather information about Cheng Yi'an.

Having a name, distinctive features, and even a specific niche for swordsmen is enough.

If even this method fails to locate Cheng Yi'an, it can only mean that the Star Palace is not as powerful as Meng Zhao had perceived.

Yan Congke then guessed that Meng Zhao probably had designs on the Broken Rainbow Sword.

At first, he was willing to warn Meng Zhao to prevent the other party from acting rashly and being caught off guard.

But now, he has completely given up on that idea, that thought.

It was simple; he realized that Meng Zhao and he were different.

Meng Zhao's martial arts skills, background, and foundation are all beyond his reach.

Therefore, he dared not compete or seize, but Meng Zhao did.

As for whether the other party had a way to find Cheng Yi'an, Yan Congke had no relevant clues, but he secretly guessed that it was highly likely.

Otherwise, the boy in front of me wouldn't have that expression.

Suppressing his speculations about Meng Zhao's strength, Yan Congke then mentioned two divine weapons that he had personally witnessed.

The knife was not one of those long, thick-backed swords commonly seen, but rather a strange-looking, exotic knife originating from a foreign land.

Its blade is divided into two parts, one half is a crescent moon and the other half is also a crescent moon, the two are like mirror images.

They can be stacked together, making the blade thick and simple, or they can be disassembled and assembled, with the two blades facing each other, resembling an S shape.

This blade is extremely strange. When stacked together, it is merely a crescent-shaped short sword originating from a foreign land. Wielding it allows one to perform various sword techniques, and its power is guaranteed by the divine blade's might. However, once disassembled and reassembled, this blade is filled with a strange, demonic power, and can be thrown out using special mental techniques.

The blade transformed into a wheel of blades, slashing continuously without drawing blood or turning back; it was truly a deadly weapon.

The reason why Yan Congke believed that this knife was a divine weapon, and not an ordinary weapon, lies in this.

This knife seems to possess a spirit; once it transforms into a wheel of blades and flies out, it will kill people and drink its fill of blood before obediently returning. Otherwise, it will continuously cause destruction.

The mountains and earth would be shattered by the sword energy hidden on the blade, and all living beings would be brutally cut in two by the extreme cutting force generated by the constantly rotating blade wheel.

Fortunately, Yan Congke was no match for or enemy of this divine blade; otherwise, he would never have escaped its flying wheel slash!

As for the owner of this sword, Yan Congke did not know, because what he saw was the divine sword in its wheel form, its blade resembling the bright moon on a full moon night, high in the sky, looking down on everything in the mortal world, so unattainable.

If the blade hadn't drawn blood later, it might have hunted him down as prey.

As for the name of this divine sword, Yan Congke did not know it. He only learned about the related rumors about the divine sword later by making special inquiries.

For example, he had heard that the knife had two forms, but Yan Congke himself had only seen one form.

Meng Zhao felt a little regretful. In terms of power alone, this sword was probably even superior to the God-Slaying Spear and the Broken Rainbow Sword. Its extreme cutting ability and lethality were unmatched by the other divine weapons.

I wonder if I can use this sword to kill the dragon in the mountain.

However, on the other hand, Meng Zhao also believed that even if one knew the identity and origin of the master of this divine sword, it would probably not be so easy to obtain.

Judging from the information revealed by Yan Congke alone, this divine blade possesses an absurdly high level of lethality, capable of attacking from extremely long distances. Moreover, even though Meng Zhao has achieved some success in his Three-Part Returning Origin Qi and his protective aura is comparable to Vajra Indestructible, he might not be able to withstand the blade wheel transformed from this divine blade.

This is not Meng Zhao boosting the morale of others while diminishing his own.

He knew how terrifying modern cutting machines were; even a diamond could be sliced ​​in two.

Similarly, the blade wheel formed from this divine blade is likely superior to modern cutting machines in terms of cutting power alone.

Modern cutting machines are technology; the blades of the magic knife are enhanced by extraordinary technology.

However, this is not necessarily true. This is just a deduction that Meng Zhao made based on Yan Congke's account. Only those who have actually seen this divine sword can judge whether it is true or not.

As for the last divine weapon, Yan Congke described it in the most detail, and its origin was also the most distinct.

The Thunder Whip, now in the hands of Jiang Taihe, the leader of the Haoqi Sect, combined with the Haoqi Sect's 81-form Hunyuan Wuji Whip Technique, is incredibly powerful, capable of striking like thunder and lightning.

This whip contains the power of lightning. Anyone who touches it without its approval will be struck by lightning, their skin burned and charred black.

Yan Congke was fortunate enough to see this whip because he personally witnessed the leader of the Haoqi Sect wielding the Thunder Whip and unleashing his unparalleled whip technique, causing the Thirteen Bandits of the Wilderness to cry out in agony and suffer heavy casualties.

By the way, on a side note, according to Yan Congke, he and the Thirteen Bandits of the Wilderness were actually kindred spirits and had some connection.

However, their relationship was limited and their connection was not deep; otherwise, Yan Congke would have been added to the list of those who perished under the Heaven-Supporting Whip.

It sounds a bit strange, but that's the truth.

Jiang Taihe, the leader of the Haoqi Sect, was an upright, simple, and resolute man, a renowned hero in the martial arts world.

Throughout his life, he fought against the strong and helped the weak, relieving the distressed and upholding the principles of integrity. He was always a vanguard of justice in the martial arts world.

The Thirteen Bandits of the Wilderness were similar to Yan Congke; they were all involved in the underworld, engaging in kidnapping, extortion, robbery, murder, and all sorts of evil deeds.

Originally, they shouldn't have provoked Jiang Taihe, but they shouldn't have set their sights on the Haoqi Sect and tried to seize one of its valuable treasures.

As a result, they provoked Jiang Taihe, who was in seclusion for cultivation, and he even brought out the Thunder Whip, which directly scattered the Thirteen Bandits of the Wilderness.

Now only three bandits remain, two seriously injured and one slightly injured, their whereabouts unknown. They have most likely fled far away from the Haoqi Sect and gone elsewhere.

Yan Congke knew quite a bit about this Thunder Whip.

A crucial point is that this whip, like the divine sword, recognizes its user.

Anyone who contradicts the characteristics of the Thunder Whip, such as a treacherous villain, will be repelled by the thunderous power within the whip.

If you can't even hold it, how can you control it?

Therefore, although the Thunder Whip was famous and Jiang Taihe was well-known, no one dared to covet it.

Firstly, they might not be a match for this ruthless man. His whip skills are superb, his power is immense, and combined with the power of his divine weapon, he is simply unstoppable.

Secondly, the skill level for this whip is too high. Even if one manages to acquire it through great difficulty, one may not be able to use it effectively.

Therefore, the Thunder Whip is the most accurate one among the three divine weapons.

However, Meng Zhao was also the least fond of him.

This Thunder Whip, if used against a person, is indeed incredibly powerful; calling it a divine weapon is no exaggeration.

However, if it were to confront a dragon in the mountains, it's hard to imagine how effective it would be.

Swords and blades are sharp and fierce, with immense destructive power. They are primarily bladed and have the potential to defeat much larger opponents with less strength.

The Thunder Whip is characterized by its powerful and vigorous force, as well as the thunderous power within the whip.

The former may pose a threat to the dragon in the mountains.

The latter, relying solely on strength, even with the aid of divine weapons, could it possibly contend with a behemoth like a mountain dragon?

Anyway, Meng Zhao felt it was unrealistic.

Therefore, he had little interest in the Thunder Whip and paid it little attention.

His main focus remained on the Broken Rainbow Sword and the Nameless Divine Blade. (End of Chapter)
