[Ranked 52nd on the Divine Weapon Ranking—Ju Que (Great Lack)!] [Host: Sheng Qi] [Reason for Ranking: Ranked 11th in Feng Hu Zi's Sword Manual, hailed as the ultimate weapon under Heaven, with power capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.] [Legend says it was a great sword forged by the master swordsmith Ou Ye Zi for King Goujian of Yue. It is incredibly blunt and heavy. Only those with innate supernatural strength and boundless power can wield it. Once swung, its power is immense, easily crushing a ten-thousand-jin boulder into powder.] [Reward: Great Dragon Elephant Pill (can enhance strength by a thousand jin)]
[Ranked 50th on the Divine Weapon Ranking—Ge Lu Dao (Deer Severing Knife)!]
[Host: Xiao Shiyi Lang]
[Reason for Ranking: This knife has an elegant and ancient scabbard. Inside is a divine blade known throughout the world. The blade, including the hilt, is only about two feet long, but its blade gleams crystal clear, like a pool of autumn water.]
The knife bore no blood; the blade's light was like a rainbow, its edge crystal clear, untouched by blood, and incredibly sharp, pure white.
If this blade were one with its master, its light would then brighten the master's eyes, granting them a magical, indescribable, unique brilliance unlike anything on earth or in the heavens.
This blade carried a terrifying killing intent! The knife was pale blue, and so was its light; it wasn't dazzling, lacking any eye-catching brilliance. The blade was like a blue rainbow, showing no blood.
However, once unsheathed, it unleashed an indescribable aura of death that pressed upon one's eyebrows. The pale blue blade light soared like a blue rainbow, and suddenly, a dragon's roar echoed, ascending to the heavens. The moonlight returned to its brightness, only because the blade had been sheathed.
[Reward: Heaven-tier martial skill fragment, "Heavenly Wolf Howls at the Sun."]
In a valley.
A burly man stood, tall and imposing, with dark skin. He carried a massive sword on his back, his eyes sharp and piercing, radiating a powerful, domineering aura.
"Gai Nie! I lost to you eight years ago, and I didn't expect to still be inferior to you by a significant margin."
"But with the rewards from the Golden List, the gap between us will be completely erased."
Sheng Qi's gaze burned with intensity, his eyes brimming with a desire to fight, his excitement palpable.
Then, he tossed the pill in his hand directly into his mouth.
Immediately!
A vast and surging medicinal power surged into his eight extraordinary meridians, and his limbs and bones seemed to be soaked in a warm current.
Sheng Qi could feel his strength constantly increasing!
The Great Lack, which he had struggled to wield before, now felt much lighter in his hands.
He no longer needed to expend so much energy when swinging it.
A glint shone in Sheng Qi's eyes as his aura erupted, instantly turning the surrounding sand and stones into dust that scattered in all directions.
"My strength should be at least thirty percent stronger now. The next time I meet Gai Nie, the tide will turn."
"I also have a stronger ability to resist the Net of Law."
Sheng Qi's gaze was profound, and a slight smile played on his lips, clearly pleased with his situation.
Great Ming Dynasty, in an inn.
A man with dark hair flowing freely, only bound by a cloth band, wore a large crimson robe. A lifelike black dragon was embroidered on his chest.
Although his cheeks were gaunt and his beard longer, he still appeared imposing and noble from afar, like an ancient emperor ruling the world.
But in his eyes, there was a trace of deep wildness.
"So this is the Ge Lu Dao? Truly worthy of its fiftieth ranking on the Divine Weapon list."
"This overbearing sharpness can easily sever ordinary weapons."
"This time, it was incredibly risky to steal this precious blade from Shen Family Manor. It really made me break out in a cold sweat!"
Xiao Shiyi Lang's eyes revealed a hint of seriousness as he spoke in amazement.
A pair of large hands constantly caressed the Ge Lu Dao, sensing the martial art within his mind.
Indeed, it was profound and intricate, incredibly mysterious!
If he succeeded in cultivating it, he could conjure blade energy like a phantom wolf, its sharpness like a sun hanging in the sky, impossible to look directly at.
"With this martial art, my strength increases by another twenty percent!"
"Even if I encounter that peerless beauty from the Shen Family Manor, rumored to be unfathomable, I should be able to contend with her."
Xiao Shiyi Lang's eyes were sharp as he returned the blade to its sheath, speaking with complete confidence.
"Oh! Is that so? Then I'd like to see how you'll compete with me?"
Suddenly, the room's door was forced open by a subtle, feminine force, and a person walked in.
In that instant, Xiao Shiyi Lang's face stiffened. Not only did his movements cease, but he almost stopped breathing altogether.
He had never in his life seen anyone so beautiful!
Was this the woman from the Shen Family Manor, the one hailed as mysterious and unfathomable, yet also peerlessly beautiful, the number one beauty of Jiangnan?
She wasn't wearing any elaborate clothing, and she didn't even have any makeup on her face.
Yet she exuded a natural elegance, like a lotus emerging from clear water, unadorned.
Her eyes were clear and gentle, like flowing water in the spring breeze.
Her hair was shiny and soft, and her waist was also supple, like a willow branch in the spring wind.
Her beauty was beyond description.
Some people compare beautiful women to flowers, but how could a flower be as captivating as her? Some would say she's like a "person from a painting," but what brush could ever capture her charm?
Even celestial fairies would never possess her gentleness.
Anyone who caught a glimpse of her would never forget her.
Yet, she didn't seem to truly belong to this world. How could such a beauty exist in this world?
It was as if she could vanish from the earth at any moment, carried away by the wind.
Every gesture of hers exuded an elegant and graceful charm.
