Outside the hall.
Sikong Lun's mind was in chaos.
He had not yet recovered from the unexpected behavior of the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment fleeing the scene.
He saw a giant black and white hand, like grabbing a chicken, pulling the Sacred Heart Mirror back into the hall.
Sikong Lun clearly saw that when that giant black and white hand grabbed the Sacred Heart Mirror, the fragment suddenly burst into a profound black light, shaking the heavens and the earth. However, this black light was like fire meeting water, instantly dissolving under the black and white giant hand.
"This, this, this..."
Sikong Lun's heart trembled.
That was an evil weapon.
It was also a genuine fragment of a divine weapon.
When divine weapons don't appear, fragments of divine weapons are invincible.
It's a rule that cannot be resisted by human power.
However, at this moment, Sikong Lun discovered that the fragment of the divine weapon was not as strong as he had imagined.
At least, it seemed extremely fragile in front of that black and white giant hand.
No, Sikong Lun suddenly felt shocked.
It wasn't that the fragment of the divine weapon was fragile.
It was that the black and white giant hand was too powerful.
"In this world... how could there be such power?"
Sikong Lun's mind was in chaos, and he flashed back to Lin Yuan, whom he had just seen not long ago.
The black and white giant hand just now should also be Lin Yuan's doing.
But Lin Yuan is not a divine weapon, nor is he a wielder of weapons. How could he possess the strength to crush a divine weapon fragment?
According to the information collected by the Anti-God Society over the years.
All wielders of weapons are deeply influenced by divine weapons, exuding a cold, indifferent, and aloof aura.
And this, Lin Yuan obviously does not conform to.
Inside the hall, Lin Yuan casually sat in front of a desk.
In front of him, a fragment resembling a mirror was floating.
"Are you human? No, how could a human cultivate to your level?"
The Sacred Heart Mirror fragment emitted a frightened mental fluctuation.
Compared to the perception outside the hall, being in front of Lin Yuan at this moment made the Sacred Heart Mirror deeply shocked by Lin Yuan's vast and profound aura.
Although it still didn't match the power of a true divine weapon, it far exceeded the power of a divine weapon fragment like itself.
In the eyes of the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment, this was extremely unimaginable and incredible.
In the cultivation system of this world, the ultimate goal is only the Blood Refining Martial Saint. Going beyond this is simply an impassable road.
But Lin Yuan...
"So this is the essence of divine weapons..."
A strange color appeared on Lin Yuan's face, and the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment, which looked like nothing more than a broken piece on the surface, seemed to him like the most perfect thing in the world.
Observing the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment felt like observing a part of heaven and earth.
Not quite right; it's like observing a part of the heavens and the earth with its surface peeled off, revealing its essence.
[Your Unrivaled Insight perceives a part of the essence of the rules of a realm.]
"What is known as a divine weapon is the external manifestation of the rules of this world?"
Lin Yuan looked contemplative.
With his continuously advancing strength at the third rank, he began to vaguely sense the essence of the rules that supported the heavens and the earth, maintaining the operation of the world.
Even in the main world, Lin Yuan had such a feeling, but the essence of the rules in the main world was extremely powerful. Lin Yuan, even if he tried his best to comprehend, gained very little.
For example, Lin Yuan had tried to comprehend the endless starry sky, but the progress was extremely slow. It might take tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years to completely understand the mysteries of the endless starry sky.
In this realm, although the essence of the world was far inferior to the main world, Lin Yuan found it equally challenging to comprehend the essence of this realm's rules.
After all, any world, no matter how weak, had formed a perfect cycle. Everything fundamental was already concealed, making comprehension difficult.
However, at this moment, Lin Yuan looked at the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment in front of him with a fervent gaze. The divine weapons like the Sacred Heart Mirror were the external manifestations of the essence of this realm's rules, allowing them to possess sentience and innate strength.
However, because they were external manifestations of the rules' essence, observing such divine weapons was much easier than directly comprehending the essence of the heavens and earth.
Especially for the Sacred Heart Mirror itself, which was already broken, the revealed essence of the rules was even clearer. Just by watching and comprehending for a while, Lin Yuan perfected his martial cultivation system a little, saving one or two days of effort.
"What do you want to do? I am a divine weapon of the heavens and earth and cannot be destroyed."
Seeing Lin Yuan's gaze heatedly fixed on it, the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment felt a bit uneasy.
"With your strength, you are undoubtedly a delicacy in the eyes of those thirty-six old guys. You are the most delicious feast in thousands of years."
"If you release me, I will pass on to you a secret technique. It can hide you from the perception techniques of those thirty-six old guys. How about that?"
The Sacred Heart Mirror fragment immediately proposed conditions.
The 'thirty-six old guys' it mentioned naturally referred to the thirty-six complete national divine weapons.
"Cannot be destroyed?"
Lin Yuan diverted part of his attention, inspecting the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment up and down.
This fragment was indeed right in saying that, as an external manifestation of the rules of the heavens and earth, the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment could not be completely destroyed, at least in this side of the heavens and earth. Of course, this destruction referred to complete annihilation, leaving no trace of the fragment.
As for intact divine weapons being shattered, that was still achievable.
"Things that cannot be destroyed are the divine weapons themselves. However, can't the consciousness and intelligence be eroded?"
Lin Yuan sneered in a seemingly smiling manner.
As soon as these words came out, the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment was shocked.
"How do you know?"
The Sacred Heart Mirror fragment found it hard to believe.
When the original Sacred Heart Mirror was broken, its consciousness had already disappeared. As for the current Sacred Heart Mirror fragment, it was just a new consciousness born on the fragment itself after a long period. Even other Sacred Heart Mirror fragments had similarly given birth to new consciousness over time.
It's just that evil weapons like the Sacred Heart Mirror feared true intact divine weapons because they were afraid of falling into the hands of others and having their consciousness eroded.
However, this matter had always been a secret among divine weapons. Other divine weapon fragments would not tell such things to ordinary people.
"As for secret techniques, no need for you to say. I can get them myself."
Lin Yuan's eyes faintly revealed a mysterious vortex. The black and white Tai Chi imprint spread and diffused. Terrifying mental power and soul power rushed towards the Sacred Heart Mirror fragment, suppressing it.
Lin Yuan planned to use the Soul Search technique on the 'Sacred Heart Mirror Fragment.'
Since the Sacred Heart Mirror Fragment had developed self-awareness, it counted as a living being and could be forcibly scanned for memories.
This 'Soul Search' technique was a creation inspired by Lin Yuan's observations of various evolutionary paths related to 'soul' and 'spirit.' Similar techniques existed in the main world, serving roughly the same purpose.
"What are you trying to do?"
"What exactly do you want?"
The Sacred Heart Mirror fragment screamed abruptly.
Its surface once again emitted a dark-colored radiance.
Unfortunately, under the suppression of Lin Yuan's Tai Chi domain, all dark-colored radiance quickly dissipated as a vast and invisible force invaded the depths of the fragment.
Through the Soul Search technique, Lin Yuan read the memories of the fragment as if he were looking at a flower while riding on horseback.
Since the Sacred Heart Mirror itself was already shattered, many memories were incomplete.
Nevertheless, Lin Yuan still found the information he sought.
According to the descriptions in the memories, it happened eight thousand years ago.
In the Ninth Heaven, where the astral wind could easily tear apart Blood Refining Martial Saints, there stood hundreds of terrifying auras.
The source of these terrifying auras was none other than various weapons.
Swords.
Spears.
Swords.
Halberds.
Bells.
Tripods.
And so on.
"What is that?"
Through the memory footage, Lin Yuan saw a long spear.
It seemed like all the radiance in the world gathered on that long spear.
On the surface of the spear, the sun and moon were engraved, surrounded by an extreme sharpness.
Sun-Moon Spear.
The national divine weapon of the Great Yan Dynasty.
It was also one of the thirty-six intact divine weapons of this era.
