Chapter 10: Yan Listens to the Rain Refining His Arsenal!

  Jiuse Shenlian Jing exposed!

  Qin Zheng's emotions at this time can be imagined, his heart racing, breathing rapidly, completely subconscious changes, but soon, he calmed down.

  Six years of tempering has made him very responsive in dealing with these things, even if he doesn't have experience.

  "It wasn't me who exposed it!"

  "If I were to cultivate the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra openly, others would have captured me long ago."

  "And also I practiced the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra on the same day of discovery, and afterwards never used that stone table again, letting it remain in its original state, so it's impossible for people to know about it so quickly."

  Qin Zheng's face returned to its normal color, and his tense muscles relaxed.

  That rapidly beating heart also stabilized, even so, Qin Zheng firmly believed that the momentary acceleration of heartbeat must have been noticed by Mo Gong Zhu.

  Mo Gongzhu didn't mind at all.

  Whoever hears the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra will surely be moved.

  "It's just rumors, I don't think anyone really believes it." Qin Zheng said in a low voice.

  "An empty hole brings wind, not necessarily without cause. No one knows how this matter will develop." Princess Mo gazed into the distance, her voice low and mysterious, "Regardless of whether it's true or false, the royal palace won't be able to easily extricate itself from the whirlpool. Be careful in your future actions."

  Qin Zheng nodded slightly.

  The three great martial classics are too enticing, and some people even know they will die but still want to try their luck.

  Break free from human shackles and become a god alongside the sun and moon, this is every warrior's lifelong pursuit.

  Especially since he has indeed cultivated the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra, it's even more necessary to be careful and hide.

  Two people sat on a high slope until the sun set in the west, leaving behind two long shadows before they left.

  Qin Zheng returned to the Jade Lotus Temple without another glance at the stone table that held the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra, for he was always worried that someone might be watching him.

  He even once wanted to secretly destroy this stone table, but finally gave up.

  Everything in this pavilion was left by Old East Sea King. If someone really finds this place and discovers that the stone table is missing, it will only arouse suspicion.

  And now everything is still uncertain, just getting rid of the stone table has a bit of a "this place has no silver three hundred taels" meaning.

  In the end, nothing was done.

  Staying in his own room, looking at the jade lotus pond, pavilion and stone table outside, the outside was quiet, Qin Zheng not only didn't worry about the possible danger that might come, but instead his thoughts became more active, with an inexplicable urge to welcome the storm.

  "Practice with peace of mind."

  Qin Zheng adjusted his mood and continued to cultivate.

  Time is slipping away bit by bit.

  Inside the palace, people gradually began discussing the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra, but were strongly suppressed by King Donghai, and Qin Zheng also ignored it.

  He is just doing his best to cultivate and improve himself.

  It wasn't until the time he had agreed with Yan Tingyu arrived that he went out.

  Yan Tingyu had previously said that he would use twenty days to refine a special weapon for Qin Zheng, and Qin Zheng was full of expectation. The reason was simple: Yan Tingyu didn't ask him for his refined blood. It was known that after three hundred failed breakthroughs, washing and refining his blood vessels, the effect of his refined blood on refining weapons was extremely surprising, but it wasn't needed this time, which made Qin Zheng even more expectant.

  Now he has become a third-class guest of the Wangfu, abolished his slave status, Qin Zheng's position is even higher, freely entering and leaving the Wangfu, and no one goes to ask him.

  Passing through several bustling streets, Qin Zheng also heard some rumors about the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra, but he was still skeptical and no one could confirm it.

  To those who gossip, he is just a passerby, drifting away, unknown to anyone, he is the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra of cultivation.

  Arrived at Yan Tingyu's secluded courtyard.

  The courtyard was quiet, after Qin Zheng entered, he found that only the side room door was closed, so he went straight over. Inside, Yan Tingyu was playing with a circular shield about half a meter in diameter.

  "You're here." Yan Tingyu's eyes curved into crescents as soon as she saw Qin Zheng.

  "Is this the refined weapon for me?" Qin Zheng took one glance at the round shield, didn't think there was anything special about it, and thought it looked a bit small, appearing rather delicate.

  Yan listened to the rain and threw the round shield to Qin Zheng, "That's right, this is the weapon I've refined for you. The name has already been decided, let's call it... Guardian Shield!" Her face was full of pride, "It's still a human-grade divine weapon, oh, this is the limit of what I can achieve with the materials I've collected."

  Weapons have good and bad distinctions.

  On the continent of Shenwu, more than 95% of people possess ordinary weapons and slightly better ones are exquisite weapons mixed with some rare metals. However, there is a kind of extraordinary weapon that everyone wants to get, but it is extremely rare, even using "rare" to describe it is not an exaggeration - that is the Divine Weapon.

  Divine Soldiers in Divine Martial Continent are divided into levels, from high to low: Heaven-level, Earth-level, and Human-level.

  This heavenly-grade divine weapon is said to exist only in legend, and it's said that even if placed in the realm of the gods, it would be fought over.

  Terrestrial-level divine soldiers are rare, at least in the Great Flame Empire, Qin Zheng knows that the Great Flame imperial family has only one terrestrial-level divine soldier, while other large families, including the Four Kings, have only one human-level divine soldier, which is left by the old East Sea King.

  "Humanoid Divine Soldier!"

  Qin Zheng was overjoyed. He knew that Yan Lian Yu's weapon refinement skills were formidable, but he hadn't expected her to actually refine a divine weapon for him.

  A human-level divine soldier, taking it out can make everyone in the Great Flame Emperor's inner circle excited. This time, Qin Zheng really wants to make Yan Lian look at him with admiration. Don't look at this little woman who doesn't have much fame yet, her real strength is even stronger than some so-called masters of alchemy.

  He took the circular shield, its weight was manageable, far from being as weak and light as it looked on the surface, quite heavy instead. "Guardian Shield? What kind of name is that, are you going to guard me?"

  "I like this word 'guard'." Yan heard rain and a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes.

  The round shield is of average thickness, about the size of a finger, with a smooth surface and no patterns. On the back, there is a handle that fits comfortably in one's hand.

  Qin Zheng grasped the handle and found a mechanism, so he pressed it down.

  "Hsss... Hsss..."

  In an instant, the originally tightly closed edge of the round shield suddenly split open, shooting out a circle of sharp blades.

  These blades are thin as cicada wings, like a pool of autumn water, the blade edge is cold and gleaming, with a chilling air that presses in on one.

  Qin pressed the button again.

  "Humming"

  The round shield suddenly spun rapidly.

  The speed was so fast that it became a blur, and the edge of the blade seemed to cut through space as it spun, revealing its sharpness, making Qin Zheng feel a chill run down his spine, as if a knife light was about to slash over.

  "There's still some technical content." Qin Zheng smiled and said.

  "It's not over yet." Yanzhi said with a smile, "You try throwing it."

  Qin Zheng casually tossed it with a light hand, without using any strength.

  The round shield rotated and flew out, crossing a distance of more than ten meters, drawing an arc in the air. Without Qin Zheng's deliberate use of clever force, the round shield flew back again and fell into his hands.

  "Far and near attack, defense and unity of guardian shield, isn't it great?" Yan Tingyu said with a proud face.

  "It's more than just fine, it's quite good." Qin Zheng pressed a button, and the circular shield returned to its most basic state.

  Yan Tingyu said, "The Tiger-Subduing Fist is a peerless martial skill that emphasizes momentum. It's about unleashing a fierce attack to knock out the enemy in one go, but it completely neglects defense. With this Guardian Shield, we can make up for this shortcoming."

  Qin Zheng gave a thumbs up, "I really didn't notice these."

  "I've also prepared a second mysterious martial skill for you." Yàn Lǐngyǔ took out a scroll.

  "Oh? You still have magical martial arts skills." Qin Zheng said in surprise, "Where did you learn these martial arts... never mind, I won't ask, let's just keep each other's secrets and not pry into each other's affairs."

  He thought of his own cultivation of the Nine-Colored Divine Lotus Scripture and decided to maintain a small distance from her.

  Yan Tingyu just smiled, seeing Qin Zheng like this, she didn't say anything else, shook her hand and threw the scroll to Qin Zheng, "Take a look, this martial skill, you should have heard of it."

  "I've heard that the ones that can be described as 'miraculous' are all legendary unbeatable martial arts." Qin Zheng opened the scroll, took a glance, and his eyes widened instantly. His hands gripped the scroll tightly, almost tearing it apart, and his face turned slightly red. "Divine Soldier Domain! The Emperor Dragon Night Sky Qin's Heaven-Defying Divine Punishment, an unbeatable martial art!"

  God really exists.

  God was also killed by man.

  All of these are recorded in detail, and Ye Tian Qin is the one who has slaughtered the most gods with his human body. It is said that he once single-handedly slaughtered a god, and later, four great divine kings forcibly descended to the mortal world to slaughter Ye Tian Qin. However, on a stormy night, a fierce battle took place in the sky, and Ye Tian Qin borrowed the power of thunder to kill the four great divine kings in one fell swoop. The blood of the divine kings dyed the sky red, causing the Divine Martial Continent to rain blood that night, and it also became the burial ground for the divine kings' corpses, changing the layout of the continent and shaping some mysterious lands.

  From this night on, Tian Qin, although a human, stayed in the Divine Martial Continent, yet shook the Divine Realm.

  This is one of the most classic battles of Against the Gods.

  It is said that even the ultimate night sky Qin was unable to break through the shackles of humanity, forever stuck in the highest realm of human beings, but his true combat power had long surpassed the category of humans.

  At night, Tian Qin created two great martial arts techniques, claiming to be invincible.

  The legendary Dragon Eight Trigrams.

  One of them is... Divine Soldier Domain!

  The stimulation that the Divine Soldier Domain's martial skills brought to Qin Zheng was not inferior to the Nine-Colored God Lotus Sutra, and it was even stronger. After all, the legend of the Nine-Colored God Lotus Sutra was too distant, while the deeds of Ye Tian, the creator of the Divine Soldier Domain, were widely spread, and the shocking events of killing the God King and causing the heavens and earth to bleed were recorded in detail throughout the Divine Martial Continent, regardless of whether it was the human tribe, the demon tribe, or the sea tribe. Moreover, Ye Tian received the common reverence of the three tribes.

  Qin Zheng subconsciously wanted to ask Yan Tingyu how he possessed this martial skill, but seeing Yan Tingyu's smiling face and crescent-shaped eyes, he restrained himself.

  There must be a reason why people don't say it.

  Just like he didn't say the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra.

  "It's said that the Divine Soldier Domain requires extremely high cultivation, and even if an ordinary person were to obtain it, they would be unable to cultivate it." Qin Zheng spoke with his mouth, but his eyes began to scan the contents recorded within the scroll.

  "You should be able to, the key to the Divine Soldier Realm lies in the strength of one's blood and energy." Yan Lianyu said somewhat disappointedly, "I'm not going to make it, but you still have a lot of hope."

  Qin Zheng glanced through the method of cultivating the Divine Soldier Domain and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I also think I can cultivate the Divine Soldier Domain."
