Chapter 60: Bo Le and the Thousand Li Horse

  (Maybe it's too detailed, the plot is hard to develop, and it doesn't feel refreshing... Trying to make a change, doing my best.)

  "I didn't expect you to arrive earlier than I expected, and you've recovered so quickly. Indeed, the younger generation is formidable!" Tian Ba's face was filled with admiration, then he continued:

  "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

  "Please, Uncle Tian, enlighten me."

  "Then let me tell you, my dear granddaughters."

  Tian Mei Gui had wanted to tell us for a long time, but hadn't found the right opportunity. Now that Grandfather has spoken up, she naturally told us one by one.

  Tian Ba originally had two purposes for meeting us. One was to help us recover from our injuries, which now seems unnecessary. The other was to tell us about entering the treasure room.

  Speaking of this treasure room, it's really wonderful. Even if there are countless treasures inside, without fate, it's all in vain. Of course, there are exceptions, some treasures require strength, that is, competition...

  After explaining the rose, Tianba waved his hand at me and said, "Kid, come here. Take this opportunity to take you to the Divine Arsenal to choose a divine weapon. I should have taken you there long ago, but some things delayed it. However, I still want to remind you that it's best if you forge your own divine weapon, letting it grow with you."

  This is exactly what I was thinking, but it doesn't prevent me from using other divine weapons, so I said:

  "Uh-huh, I see, thanks for reminding me, Uncle Tian! But let's pick one out and try it on first."

  Tian Ba nodded, and with a wave of his hand, everyone disappeared from the original location and reappeared in front of a majestic tower-shaped building. The tower had seven floors, plus one underground floor, making it eight floors in total. It was said that the highest level was the "Lei Level", which had over a hundred levels. Because it could be cultivated independently and no one restricted its freedom, every floor might have appeared, depending on whether you could recognize it or if it recognized you.

  Everyone stopped at this point. Tianba sent me in, and a voice sounded in my ear: What level of divine weapon you can get depends on yourself.

  As soon as I entered, I felt a murderous aura emanating from everywhere, and my eyes were filled with all kinds of divine weapons: knives, guns, swords, halberds, bows, arrows, and crossbows. It was impossible to tell what level they were at. Only by releasing my spiritual sense to perceive the fluctuations in their energy could I determine their strengths and weaknesses.

  At this time, more than a dozen divine weapons with no energy fluctuations flew over excitedly and curiously, circling around me. Although I couldn't sense the energy they contained for the time being, I knew that these should be the Li Ji divine weapons. Unfortunately, they all flew away after a while, and Tian Ba, who was observing me, couldn't help but sigh: What a great opportunity!

  The flying divine soldiers, some let out a humanized sigh, some seemed numb, and others even showed hostility, as if reacting to my inability to meet their conditions.

  I also know that even if the divine soldiers reach a high level, they still benefit from having a master to cultivate with, especially a powerful one. So I understand their feelings. However, as for their gaze, I have no choice but to say: it's too poor.

  I am waiting for Bole's appreciation as a good horse, and at the same time, I appreciate good horses as Bole... Walking up one layer...

  This is the seventh layer, with only twenty or thirty divine weapons in total. Through divine sense perception, each one emits a powerful energy fluctuation, and at a glance, it's clear that they're not ordinary products, at least being combined divine weapons. Still, over ten pieces of separated divine weapons flew over, then dispersed without joy. However, two pieces of separated peak divine weapons, a knife and a sword, didn't fly away, of course, not because they acknowledged me, but rather with ill intentions slowly closing in on me.

  A sword and a saber emitted a cold light, I immediately became vigilant, and at the same time, my hand had already grasped a pen-like large stick. Tianba saw the situation inside and couldn't help but laugh dryly. He had heard from students before that there was a sword and a saber in the Divine Soldier's Warehouse that treated people like toys, playing with them until they were on the verge of death before stopping; out of curiosity, he came to investigate, but the conclusion he drew was: this sword and saber were actually testing these students.

  This is indeed a bit strange, generally speaking, the intelligence of an ordinary divine soldier is only that of a child. However, these two divine soldiers seem to be much more mature. Tianba couldn't understand the reasoning behind this even after researching it thoroughly and eventually gave up. The news spread and basically no students dared to go to the seventh floor again. Tianba knew I wouldn't be in danger, so he didn't plan on taking action for now. He wanted to see if Yiyue could create a miracle and tame these two divine soldiers, one sword and one saber.

  The sword and saber finally moved, but didn't strike a fatal blow. Facing them, I had a feeling of being at a loss for what to do next, because hitting them wasn't painful, and without the power of an immortal, it was hard to inflict effective damage on them. On the contrary, my pen-shaped club had already been broken into three or four sections, which made me feel a pang in my heart - this was a weapon that I had spent several hundred yuan stones on!

  A loud explosion, leaving the longest section to wield the Taiji sword and engage in a fierce battle with one knife and one sword, never facing each other head-on again. This way, I temporarily ensured my safety, but in my heart, I secretly lamented that if this continued, I would inevitably become exhausted. The one knife and one sword, however, became increasingly excited, as if they had found a delightful toy. My mind frantically searched for a solution, when suddenly an unusual change occurred:

  As soon as I exercised my mind, the thoughts of all the divine weapons in the Divine Arsenal were perceived, and a massive amount of information rushed towards me, making my head ache. The chaotic thoughts formed terrifying storms in my mind, and from time to time, magical energies overflowed from these storms. Some of these energies were stored away, some merged into my body to enhance my physique, and most of them disappeared directly into the space of thought. Then I felt that the space of thought had expanded.

  It turns out that perceiving others' thoughts has so many benefits, it seems that in the future, I should make more use of it. However, the crisis at hand has not been resolved yet. After sorting out my scattered thoughts, I discovered that they have a common weakness: their consciousness is very weak and their souls are incomplete. Although the divine weapons preserved their souls when they didn't have an owner and had the instinct to cultivate on their own and find new owners, their shortcomings were also exposed. Therefore, each divine weapon wants to find a powerful owner to protect their weak souls.

  Of course, ordinary people can't do anything about them. The world's divine cultivation methods are scarce, and without a strong divine consciousness, also known as intention or awareness in this world, they are just names that are different but refer to the same thing - the divine consciousness cultivated through divine cultivation. Therefore, when selecting their masters, they are very particular, unless it is someone with great potential or strength, otherwise they won't be able to provide them with help and won't enter their field of vision.

  It can be said that with their thoughts, I understand the secrets of the Li Ji Shen Bing better than anyone in this world. Knowing these things, my confidence is full, my consciousness returns, and the Taiji sword style remains the same. This set of swordsmanship was originally meant to be displayed in a state of selflessness, so even Tianba couldn't see everything that just happened in my mental world, but instead marveled at this set of swordsmanship.

  Although I knew how to defeat them, I didn't immediately counterattack. Instead, my consciousness sank into the mental space to learn. I need to learn a skill that attacks the mind and soul (collectively referred to as the divine soul) - the divine soul technique. This is a difficult problem for others, but it's easy for me with strong divine soul and the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism cultivation methods. As long as I scan the Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism divine soul chapter with my divine sense, I can learn not only the divine soul technique but also the method to cultivate the divine soul.

  Of course, these are not things that can be studied in a short time. Now the most important thing is to find a suitable divine soul technique to deal with the current crisis first. Soon, I found a divine soul technique called Soul Devouring, as long as my divine soul is stronger than my opponent's, I can transform into various ferocious beasts and directly devour their divine soul.

  Consciousness returned once more, a confident smile spreading across his face. With a single move of the Soul Slayer technique, the sword and scabbard trembled violently, and in a childish voice, he surrendered:

  "Little brother spare our lives, we didn't mean to harm you, it's just that we were entrusted by someone else to test you again. Waaah, we are willing to acknowledge you as our master."

  My intention was not to destroy them either. Since they were willing to surrender, I naturally welcomed the outcome and withdrew my divine soul, curiously saying:

  "Who sent you?"

  "It was I who had them make a trial here." A sweet voice suddenly came from behind.

  Turning to look, there was only a fan there, the kind used by dancing girls, sky blue in color, with exquisitely embroidered white clouds and small birds on it. The handle of the fan had a decorative weave made from some unknown thread in sky blue, looking very beautiful!

  The sword saw her, nodding like a small chicken pecking at rice. I used my spiritual sense to scan it and felt that this fan only had the fluctuations of a Ling-class divine soldier, but I didn't underestimate it in the slightest. In my heart, I decided to choose this fan, without beating around the bush or being evasive, directly saying: "If I choose you, are you willing to follow me?"

  "You're the most formidable young man I've ever met, I'm sticking with you."

  The sweet voice was very excited, as if a child who had just received a toy.

  I walked over and picked up the fan with both hands, it's really lovable, my eyes are full of joy, what a kindred spirit, a Bo Le!
