All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes
Chapter 246 - 107: Resonance of the Divine Weapon

Chapter 246: Chapter 107: Resonance of the Divine Weapon

The Divine Weapon Kanming Bell hovered in the shallow golden Earth Pulse Qi, slowly rotating, expanding, and then contracting.

The size and weight of the Divine Weapon were as desired, light or heavy at will. It could transform into a Dharma Aspect, covering the entire city, acting as a protector of a region; or it could become a wind chime, hanging beside one’s clothes, resonating with a clear and spiritual sound.

An Jing stepped forward, his body fortified by Earth Vein talismans. The Divine Weapon’s suppression was like a gentle breeze on his face as he summoned his full strength, complying with the pulsating rhythm of the weapon... and reached out to touch its surface.

"——Dong——"

At the very moment An Jing’s hand made contact, concentric ripples spread from the point of touch.

A resonant bell sound filled the air, causing the surrounding Earth Veins to tremble. The patterns of light twisted and swayed, and even the mortal realm could faintly hear it, making countless citizens of Kanming City look around curiously, seeking the source of the bell sound.

Meanwhile, Zheng Mo was frozen in place.

At first, he wanted to remind An Jing that understanding the power of a Divine Weapon should be a gradual process. Normally, it would take about ten days for a prodigy to sense the power of a Divine Weapon, and Jing Xuan could certainly start by comprehending from the pulsations of the weapon and the direction of the Earth Veins.

To touch a Divine Weapon at the onset could likely result in a backlash from the force of the Earth Veins, causing minor injuries.

But Zheng Mo never expected that An Jing would go straight for a touch with his hand!

——It’s a disaster; if he gets injured, how will True Master Mysterious Mirror blame me?!

Seeing this scene, Zheng Mo’s heart instantly raced, for although he was an official of Da Chen and had the mighty Da Chen Dynasty behind him, the Bright Mirror Sect, as a strategic partner and traditional ally of Dust Li for Da Chen, wouldn’t say a word against anyone who harshly disciplined him as long as it didn’t threaten his life!

But now, what had happened?

"Divine resonance? In an instant? But why?!"

He exclaimed in disbelief, "Even Old Shu in his lifetime couldn’t achieve this!"

Wei Yang Quan Shuzheng was a Martial Meridian Grandmaster who could achieve more than 80% resonance with a Divine Weapon, which was extremely high even among all the Guardian Grandmasters.

Shu Zheng could also cause the Divine Weapon to resonate on its own, but that usually happened only after wielding the Divine Weapon in combat for a lengthy period. The last time the Divine Weapon resonated on its own was during the battle against the invasion of the Fierce Spirits from the Western Desolation, a fierce fight that lasted three days and nights!

But this time, An Jing barely touched it, and the Divine Weapon vibrated, as if exultant!

"Is this... a genius who understands Dao upon witnessing a Divine Weapon?"

While Zheng Mo was still in shock, An Jing knew exactly what had earned him the Divine Weapon’s approval.

In the Divine Sea, the Emperor’s Blood trembled slightly.

"The Imperial Court of Da Chen has too much authority over subordinates; just a slight leak and the lower levels have no power to restrain."

Under the influence of the Emperor’s Blood’s vibration, An Jing could sense that the normally unruly Divine Weapon was as docile as a good dog, lying obediently in his palm.

Of course, this didn’t mean he could command the Divine Weapon at will—now the Divine Weapon simply saw him as a friend of its familiar master, naturally close and compliant, but should it sense anything amiss, it would turn hostile immediately!

"Be careful, not to expose too much!"

Taking a deep breath, An Jing drew closer to the Divine Weapon, extending his perception to the fullest, observing from the most nuanced, innermost, and intricate perspective the flow of Earth Pulse Qi and Dragon Qi in the Great Formation and the Divine Weapon.

He carefully experienced the details, cautiously mobilizing the Taibai Fiend Qi within his body, attempting to center the Earth Vein Formation and Dragon Qi around his physique-integrated Divine Weapon!

One must say that if An Jing hadn’t helped You Ruhui, he wouldn’t have received the gift of the Emperor’s Blood. And without the gift of the Emperor’s Blood, even if An Jing had coincidentally used the eyes of the Subdue Evil Sword Spirit to observe the Earth Vein, he absolutely could not have perceived the operation of the Earth Vein and Dragon Qi so acutely and in such detail.

To change someone’s fate for them does not require a reward of Heavenly Mandate, yet one can still reap their own rewards!

Just as An Jing was completely engrossed, communicating with the Divine Weapon.

Outside of Kanming City, on the border of the Dust Li’s Da Chen region.

In the absence of An Jing, the outsider, Mingguang Dust was having a frank and open exchange with Xuan Mingjing.

"Other issues are of no consequence."

With furrowed brows, Mingguang Dust asked in confusion, "How exactly did your father die? You must know... he possessed the strength of Manifesting Holy!"

Triple Nourishment of Inner Breath, Inner Strength Five Scenarios, Ascension Martial Vein, Hollow Divine Repository.

Then, it’s the Divine Altar’s Manifestation of Holiness, Daoist Palace Pure Yang, Nine Heavens Lingxiao!

In the ten continents of Embracing the Void, countless strong men and innumerable Sects exist, but the ones truly able to leave a record, to have a title, are the Ten Heavenly Sects, the 108 Upper Gates, 800 Middle Gates, and the 3,000 Heterodox Sects.

The Heavenly Ancestors of ten continents are the overbearing Sect powers that dominate the main veins of each continent and control the heritage left by the previous Dao Sect Dao Courtyards.

The Heavenly Ancestors are not eternal, as Mingguang Dust knew, the Da Chen Imperial Dynasty is among the younger within the Heavenly Ancestors.

In the era of the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent, the previous Heavenly Ancestor ’Divine Court’ collapsed due to a great calamity, and during the ensuing chaos, the Da Chen Dynasty took advantage of the situation to rise.

The Holy Emperor of Mysterious Heaven Ceremony settled the Northern Dust Abyss and the Eastern Dragon Palace with the Lingxiao Realm, sweeping the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent. Despite seeming invincible, he still had to defeat the equally prominent Great Youxu Mountain and Qizhen Mountain at that time, overpowering two Lingxiao figures, the Taiyang Heavenly Venerate and Yuanxiang Supreme Venerate, taking their heritage. Only then was he able to face the equally unstoppable rise, from the southeast, of the HuangMing Kingdom, clashing in a decisive battle that settled the world.

Only the Lingxiao Realm can determine the future trend of a continent.

The Upper Gates are either the losers who once competed for the position of Heavenly Ancestor or the former allies of the Heavenly Ancestors. In short, the Martial Arts of Embracing the Void urge these Martial Artists to determine the fate of all spirits in heaven and earth, so there are no Great Sects that retreat from the world.

Among these Upper Gates, each of them has the foundation of the Lingxiao Realm and a legacy of Pure Yang from generation to generation.

And among the Middle Gates, each generation bears the tradition of Manifesting Holy.

As for the 3,000 Heterodox Sects, at least one should have a Manifesting Holy ancestral founder who has left behind teachings, with multiple Divine Repository holders in each generation, or a Great Formation at their foundation, to be listed in the annals and able to establish a sect.

Further down are those ordinary small schools and sects that cannot be called Sects, do not rank as mountains, have no foundation, and are merely waves in the passage of time.

To reach the realm of the Divine Repository, even in the entire North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent, one can rightfully be regarded as having entered a more profound tier. In Da Chen, there’s a joke that goes something like this: For instance, an Emperor angrily scolds his ministers, and finally, with a loud shout, ’Those in the front row of the Council Hall are to stay! Meeting time!’, reaching the Divine Repository is the baseline requirement for sitting in that front row.

Without the strength of the Divine Repository, one does not even have the qualification to listen to the Imperial Court conference.

And the Divine Altar’s Manifestation of Holiness is a step further.

Even within Da Chen, possessing the strength to Manifest Holy is sufficient to be called a major official, holding all the authority of a particular domain.

And the Eight Directions Kings of the Da Chen Imperial Dynasty are even more unique—they not only have the Emperor’s Blood and Earth Vein empowerment but also have the potential to advance to Daoist Palace Pure Yang and wield the power of Daoist Profession, the Manifesting Holy True Lords!

How could such individuals possibly die silently, so unbeknownst to others?
