All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes

Chapter 249: Chapter 110: Divine Weapon Advancement (4/3, thanks to Alliance Leader, Memory of Colored Glaze!)

"Interesting," An Jing laughed, "I’ve found the direction for improvement."

The Earth Pulse Qi was inexhaustible, and naturally, the Earth Vein Divine Weapon could continuously grow stronger. However, the Spirit Qi within An Jing’s body and the Golden Qi on ordinary weapons were finite. Once used by the Qi Soldiers for refinement, they were naturally depleted.

Simply put, similar to the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, An Jing also managed to nurture a ’Self Divine Weapon’ within his own body, hammered and refined by the techniques of the Earth Vein Divine Weapon and the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban.

"Having just the Heavenly Mandate’s blessing is useless."

Looking up, An Jing gazed at the Kanming Bell before him, feeling somewhat emotional, "Only because I have mastered the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban and have been blessed with the Emperor’s Blood gifted by Xuan Mingjing, coupled with the state of being Desireless and Egoless, was I able to introspect so precisely and subsequently enhance myself."

"Furthermore, I should thank the Kanming Bell for being a bell-type Divine Weapon rather than a sword; its stable and mellow Qi did not harm me."

"This is also a form of luck."

An Jing also noticed that the state of the Kanming Bell was quite good. It had maintained the initial stage of the Divine Repository for a long time and, after years of nurturing by the Earth Pulse, was ready to break through to the intermediate stage of the Divine Repository.

If it weren’t for the True Demon Sect contaminating the Earth Vein and delaying the progress of the Kanming Bell, it would likely have advanced swiftly.

However, considering that if nothing had happened, the Kanming Bell would likely have broken through under the control of Wei Yang Fist Shuzheng, allowing the latter to gain the credit for merit and advancement...

—Could this be part of the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect’s strategy in the northwest?

"Then I won’t be polite," An Jing said.

With both hands pressed on the Kanming Bell, although An Jing was merely at the Inner Breath like Tide stage, the purity of the Taibai Fiend Qi in his body was incomparable even to the peak of Inner Strength martial artists.

Additionally, An Jing had fully observed the operating route of the Earth Pulse Qi within the entire Kanming Bell. He channeled his power into the upstream, amplifying it bit by bit. He quickly caused the Kanming Bell, which had been stable, to break through the membrane that should have been shattered long ago.

"Dang—Dang—Dang!"

In a flash, An Jing was pushed away by a gentle Earth Pulse Qi, and the Kanming Bell swelled violently.

But he didn’t mind at all and laughed heartily, "Indeed, it’s almost the same principle as the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban—I’ve mastered it!"

"I’ve grasped the method of Earth Pulse Weapon Condensation!"

Ming City.

Accompanied by the resonant sound of the bell, the golden apparition of the Kanming Bell appeared in the city’s mid-air.

The vast Earth Pulse Qi materialized between heaven and earth, arriving from all directions, transforming into a huge vortex that spun tumultuously in the mid-air, continuously revolving.

The Kanming Bell, drawing from this endless Earth Pulse Qi, caused many Divine Patterns and Talismans on its surface to light up one after another, evolving into the aura of the magnificent and righteous sun.

"The Kanming Bell... Divine Weapon advancing?!"

As Zheng Mo supported An Jing to stand, his reaction was far beyond disbelief; he was so astounded that his hands almost couldn’t steady his charge.

This City Magistrate, rather wide in build, trembled with his belly waving like ripples, "During my tenure? A Divine Weapon advancing during my tenure?!"

"Imperial Heaven, ah, you’ve finally opened your eyes. Is this the compensation for the hardships I’ve endured recently?"

"Cough cough." An Jing coughed, and Zheng Mo, coming back to his senses, stared at the young martial artist with such a blank expression that An Jing wondered if the man had gone mad.

"Great hero!"

Unexpectedly, Zheng Mo didn’t hesitate. He bent his knees and bowed down to An Jing with the vigor of a tiger pouncing down a mountain, "You truly are the blessed star of Ming City and me!"

Meanwhile.

On the outskirts of Ming City.

"What?!" Ming Guangchen raised his voice in utter astonishment, "You gave that boy the Emperor’s Blood and that trace of Dragon Jade essence?!"

"Hmm." Xuan Mingjing honestly admitted, "Uncle Ming, I believe that An Jing’s potential is indeed that great, sufficient to make me entrust him with full confidence."

"You dare trust such karma!" Mingguang Dust almost took in a sharp breath of cold air, but he couldn’t blame anyone for this. He could only blame himself for being too slow in finding Xuan Mingjing.

But at this moment, he was still immensely troubled, "Not to speak of the influence on you... for An Jing, for Divine Mandate, this is also an enormous karma that is hard to bear!"

He had also thought of guiding An Jing to the Endless Heavens one day, to add some new blood to his camp.

"I trust An Jing."

And Xuan Mingjing, who knew of An Jing’s true Divine Skill, ’Great Void Shuttle,’ declared firmly, "His talent... is higher than all the brothers and sisters I’ve ever seen!"

"One must not look down upon the world because of one’s Emperor’s Blood; father always said this to me, but I truly understood it only after meeting An Jing!"

"It still seems a bit too hasty..."

Now that things had come to this point, Mingguang Dust couldn’t say much else, only feeling some regret, "You and he acting together, of course, you would think more highly of him."

Mingguang Dust himself was also a top-notch talent of this era, and he remained cautiously skeptical of Xuan Mingjing’s attitude.

But then, at that very moment.

The bell within Kanming City rang out.

"Divine Weapon advancement?"

Both familiar with this process, they simultaneously looked up, staring in astonishment at the virtual image of the Golden Sun great bell above Kanming City, "This..."

As the Kanming Bell chimed, the Earth Vein trembled. A series of minor earthquakes spread out in all directions, not instilling fear in anyone, but rather giving a sense of gentle and profound power lifting everyone up, a comforting sensation of support.

Without a doubt, this was the true phenomena of an Earth Pulse Divine Weapon advancing!

Regardless of whether they were inside the city or in the outskirts, everyone looked up with their mouths agape, watching as the surging Earth Pulse Qi was inhaled and exhaled by the great bell, making its light and patterns more dazzling.

Such phenomena lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour before slowly dissipating.

The Kanming Bell returned to the Earth Vein, continuing its advancement process that would still take some time, but the most difficult bottleneck had been crossed, and all that was left was a gradual improvement.

After the phenomenon disappeared, the people around slowly lowered their heads yet remained silent, forgetting how to speak.

"This... could it be... An Jing?"

Even Mingguang Dust was somewhat off-balance now. He had personally sent An Jing to observe the Divine Weapon and comprehend Divine Skills, but... could it really be such a coincidence?

He had just sent him to comprehend the Divine Weapon and now the Divine Weapon had advanced?

No, no, no...

The wisdom of Mingguang Dust told him that the reality might be the most improbable possibility of them all.

—The advancement of the Kanming Bell was due to some actions of An Jing!

"Incredible..." Regaining his composure after a moment, he looked towards the direction of Kanming City, then at Xuan Mingjing, who was also surprised but somehow not shocked, and laughed, "Perhaps... Mingjing’s decision was not wrong after all."

Guangyun brother... Sometimes, maybe we should just trust the choices of the younger generation.

In the first year of the Yanping Era, Kanming City faced a Demon Calamity, Frost Calamity, but was fortunate to have the protection of two Divine Repository True Persons, along with the aid of many heroes, hence escaping the disaster.

On the day the frost thawed and the snow melted, the Kanming Bell chimed, purifying the sky for thousands of miles.

This is seen as a sign of Imperial Heaven’s blessing upon Da Chen.
