Chapter 303 Ancient Magical Weapon
Among the mountains, many creatures instinctively approach the place of spiritual inspiration, wanting to be contaminated by the spiritual essence there and gain spiritual wisdom.

However, when they arrived, all the spiritual energy had disappeared, leaving only the sharp sword energy running rampant.

Among all the sword energy, there were three small tripods suspended in the air, slowly rotating, and brilliant light as thin as silk threads spewed out from the mouths of the tripods.

All the sharp sword energy was gradually gathered by the light and suppressed back into the broken blade.

The bloodstains on the mottled broken blade seemed to come to life under the reflection of the light, slowly wriggling.

A buzzing sound began.

The broken blade seemed to be pulled out by some mysterious force and sank into the deep and boundless belly of the tripod.

Shen Qing's eyes narrowed, his mind racing, wanting to regain control of the tripod and take it back.

He used the Great Void Movement Technique as he did at the beginning, trying to guide it.

However, to his surprise, the tripod did not respond at all, as if it had lost contact with him.

Shen Qing frowned, thinking it was due to insufficient spiritual power.

He clasped his hands together and gathered all his spiritual power, but to his surprise, his spiritual power was like a drop in the ocean, and there was still no response.

Shen Qing was confused and puzzled.

At this moment, an incredible scene happened.

The tripod seemed to have self-awareness. It turned itself right, radiating brilliance, and slowly rotated while suspended in the air, looking extremely agile.

Just as Shen Qing was astonished, something strange happened in the cauldron. The originally silent broken blade began to spin wildly in the cauldron. Each rotation was accompanied by a low humming sound, like an ancient war drum, stirring people's hearts.

Then, a dark light as deep as the night suddenly burst out from the tripod, cutting through the sky and rushing towards Shen Qing in an unstoppable manner.

Shen Qing only felt an unprecedented force impacting his consciousness, and his body trembled involuntarily.

He was unable to resist this force at all and could only watch the black light penetrate his body.

The tripod followed the black light, sank into his forehead, and finally landed steadily in his qi sea.

The Qi Sea was originally vast and boundless, with nothing in it.

At this moment, there was an additional tripod with three legs and two ears.

The tripod stood above the qi sea, emitting indescribable majesty.

Its existence caused the entire spiritual sea to tremble.

Shen Qing was deeply shocked and could not understand such a thing at all.

He remembered that he got the tripod from a cave in the dark river. It was an ancient utensil. However, the blood-stained broken blade that appeared in the land of inspiration was a remnant from outside the domain. The two were extremely different.

Or is it that the two are in the same era that would produce such a reaction?
No one could answer his question.

His starting point was too low, the level he could access was not enough, and he knew very little about the past.

I have no idea now.

Shen Qing raised his eyes and looked around.

After the spiritual energy was absorbed, the place became empty and peace returned to normal.

Many green plants appeared in those places that were nourished by spiritual energy, each one was lush and verdant, and filled with the fragrance of medicine.

Many living beings attracted by the spiritual energy here formed a circle around and looked around.

There are wolves, insects, tigers, leopards, pheasants, hares, deer, mice, deer, pigs, and so on.

After the inspiration disappeared, their faces were filled with confusion. Shen Qing took a step forward and remained alert, worried that some of these mountain creatures would develop intelligence and become demons, which would be harmful to them.

But before he could do anything, the creatures in the mountains, especially the herbivores, cried out a few times and then scattered as if they had seen a ghost.

The carnivores were confused, but when they saw the prey around them, they rushed forward excitedly to hunt.

The mountain suddenly became a large hunting ground.

Shen Qing released his spiritual sense and scanned them carefully. Seeing that these creatures did not seem to have any intelligence at all, he was completely relieved.

"Is the tripod just now the one you found in the cave that day?" Huangfu Rou stepped forward and asked curiously.

She had carefully examined the tripod that day and found it to be just an ordinary item.

Unexpectedly, she was wrong.

Shen Qing did not deny it, nodded and said, "Yes."

He touched his brow and said with some concern: "This thing looks like it has some history."

Huangfu Rou said: "That tripod looks a bit like a magic weapon from ancient times."

"magic weapon?"

Huangfu Rou continued, "My elders in the family once told me that in ancient times, true immortals were born from time to time, and the way of immortal martial arts flourished, far more than it is now. In that era, the human race did not have martial artists, but they did have cultivators. They would use many natural treasures to refine various magic weapons to increase their own strength and resist the way of heaven."

"Some people can control the clouds and thunder in the sky with a sword; some people can split mountains and open seas with an axe..."

"When people reach the pinnacle of cultivation, they are said to be able to destroy the world with a beam of light and cut down stars with a blade of grass. That era was a time of great heroes and the human race flourished."

"The tripod in your hand looks like a relic of that era."

The Huangfu family was the patriarch of a family that almost became an aristocratic family in Zhou State. Even though it had declined, it still had a strong foundation and high insight.

Huangfu Rou did not hide anything from Shen Qing and explained things patiently, which benefited Shen Qing a lot.

Shen Qing asked curiously, "The human race was so prosperous in ancient times, so can't people today reach the same level as in the past? I don't think I've ever heard of such a magic weapon."

Huangfu Rou shook her head and said, "It's not possible."

"There was a gap between the end of the ancient times and the beginning of the modern times. It seems that at some point, all the famous heritages and those talented people completely disappeared."

"Even the magic weapon in your hand is rarely found, and the few that do exist are only found in the royal family."

"No one knows what happened during that period. Anyway, since then, martial arts have emerged and have evolved to this day, and there is still a big gap from the ancient times."

After listening to Huangfu Rou's words, Shen Qing fell into deep thought and stopped talking.

From her words, he realized that this world still had many secrets.

Huangfu Rou opened her eyes wide, revealing two small shiny canine teeth, and said with a smile: "The things of the ancient times are too far away from us, you don't need to think too much. Now that you have this magic weapon, it will be beneficial to you, you should be happy."

Shen Qing looked at Huangfu Rou and said with a smile: "You are right. It is useless to think too much. Let's just live our lives well first."

As he spoke, he glanced at the sky and saw that the sun was setting in the west.

The red-white sun turned into orange-red, dyeing the entire mountain golden.

Shen Qing said, "It's getting late, and things here are over. Let's go back to Yongzhou City and talk about other things."

"There are demons causing chaos in Yongzhou City now, it must be a mess." Shen Qing picked up the heavy bow and put it on his back. He looked at Huangfu Rou with a smile and said, "As the chief of the Weiwu Division, I can't just sit there and watch. I have to go back and kill the demons."
