Chapter 116: Peace, Please Act On the Sake of Peace
Shen Tian took the gun and observed it keenly.
It was around one meter in length and entirely black in color. The only different patch of color seen on the gun was at its tip, which had a gold enclosure. This made the gun tip look like a golden lotus that had yet to bloom.
There were mysterious Dharmic markings engraved all over the gun, and one could obviously see that it was no ordinary artifact.
Qin Yundi commented, “Senior Brother, the Ten-Thousandth Iron Essence is way more precious than normal Iron Essence. Since this gun was made from this material, you can just imagine its strength. It can withstand the wrath of several Lightning Explosion Talismans in one go!
“In fact, there are 100 Lightning Explosion Talismans hidden within the gun itself. Every time you activate an array formation, five of these talismans will be ignited.
“At that moment, a gold lotus will bloom at its tip, and a weapon pin, which was being held within its core, will shoot out. This weapon pin is already engraved with penetration array formation markings, and hence you should be able to kill off your opponent in no time to come.
“Consecutively, a second weapon pin with the penetration array formation will be pushed forward by a forward-driving array formation and be enclosed by the flower’s core again.
“As long as Senior Brother activates another round of attack array formations, this second weapon pin will shoot forth and cause another round of explosion.
“I bet this weapon can even kill off an expert at the Golden Core Third Refinement stage if they do not have their guard up against you!”
The Golden Core Third Refinement stage experts were also commonly known as the advanced Golden Core experts. This group of people was generally stronger amongst all cultivators who had reached the Golden Core stage.
Shen Tian couldn’t help but muse.
Well, it seems really easy to make technological advancements in the cultivation world with all the Dharmic skills available.
I had only provided them with the rough theory of how electrolysis can produce both Yin and Yang energies. Over the span of just half a month, these people have manufactured an automatic energy-generator and a half-automatic, 20-shots assault rifle!
Meanwhile, Qin Yundi was continuing his introduction of the gun. “There are a total of 20 Penetration Weapon Pins stored within this gun, and each of them is also engraved with command array formations.
“Senior Brother, after you are done with the attacks, you can activate those array formations to collect the weapon pins, install, and reuse them.
“Meanwhile, this gun is also a middle-grade spirit artifact. After you have proclaimed its ownership by blood, this weapon can be used as a flying sword for you to ride on or to kill enemies in short-ranged battles.
“You can then activate the array formations when your enemies let down their guards—this will allow you to catch them by surprise!”
Shen Tian was honestly shocked by Qin Yundi’s words as he looked at the innocent, fangirl-like smile on his face.
Whoa, Junior Brother, I thought you were an unscheming tech nerd, but you actually had that in you!
Qin Yundi seemed to understand Shen Tian’s wordless stare at him and hurriedly explained, “Senior Brother, please don’t be mistaken, all those are what my mother said when she made the gun.
“Actually, I have my reservations about whether such a weapon is honorable to use too!”
Shen Tian laughed and said, “Don’t worry, there’s no ‘honorable’ or ‘unhonorable’ when it comes to the usage of a Dharma treasure.
“In the first place, this weapon wasn’t created with devilish methods, nor for the purpose of doing evil. So Junior Brother, please don’t be too troubled by that.”
With that, Shen Tian activated the Dharmic powers in his body to force out a drop of his blood and dropped it onto the gun.
A bright light shone immediately, and Shen Tian felt like he and the gun had established some connection.
Cling!
Once Shen Tian made some finger gestures, the Lotus Shooting Gun started quivering on the spot.
Shen Tian tried to command the Lotus Shooting Gun using his Dharmic powers and realized that it was quite easy to do so.
After the proclamation of its ownership by blood, this gun seemed like another set of limbs to him now, and it obeyed whatever commands that were given to it.
Shen Tian controlled the gun and gradually positioned its tip to face a boulder that was around ten plus feet in height.
Bang!
With a slight click, the Lotus Shooting Gun shuddered, and the lotus flower at its tip bloomed in a beautiful fashion.
A Penetration Weapon Pin, which was originally embedded within the flower, shot through the boulder, like a shaft of golden light!
It hit the protective array against the floor, and there was a small hole created by it.
The weapon pin was stuck deep into the ground. Though it’s true that it was not as powerful as the last blow Shen Tian made with the Purple Golden Hammer, its penetration ability was way above it.
Shen Tian rated this gun with a thumbs-up secretly, then activated the command array formation to call back the weapon pin and re-assembled the gun.
“Junior Brother Yundi, can I know why Aunt-Master Golden Lotus had made this gun so short?” asked Shen Tian as he weighed the gun in his hands.
Although this gun was of a solid quality that probably ranked it at an even higher grade than the Purple Golden Hammer, its destructive impact was not as much as the latter.
It seemed like its attack was on par with an attack issued by a cultivator, who had not yet attained the Golden Core stage.
In melee battles, Shen Tian would definitely prefer the Purple Golden Hammer over this gun.
After all, the longer the weapon, the more powerful it would be during a melee battle. Most guys would agree with that.
Especially during battles, it would be more satisfactory to wield the heavier and more powerful Purple Golden Hammer. Just imagine the moment when this weapon was used with the Mixed Divine Lightning—it would be super spectacular and impressive!
This was why Shen Tian was puzzled about its length.
Qin Yundi had a peculiar expression on his face as he heard Shen Tian’s question. “Senior Brother, you like long guns?
“My mother said that this Lotus Shooting Gun should mainly be used for long-ranged attacks, so flexibility and speed were our topmost considerations when we made the gun.
“Should we make it into a gun that is several feet in length, then it won’t be so flexible to use. This will go against our original intentions.
“A one-meter gun is light and easier to use, and one could easily adjust its aim with speed. My mother thought such a design was most apt.
“But of course, another reason that the gun is made to be short is that the price of the Ten-Thousandth Iron Essence is rather... cough, cough, so we have to be careful about how much material we can use for a single gun.”
Shen Tian was enlightened then. “Ah, I see. Senior Brother here had missed out on those considerations previously. I really like this present though!”
When Qin Yundi heard Shen Tian’s praises, he squinted his eyes in happiness and smiled. “Oh, so long as Senior Brother likes it, I will be glad!”
Following which, a gleam of light flashed past his eyes—he believed the right timing to consult Senior Brother about the Yin-Yang Water Inverse Dao had finally arrived!
After all, the sacred ground was able to create such strong weapons based on a few suggestions by Senior Brother. He would definitely be more well-versed in the Yin-Yang Dao.
Qin Yundi had been racking his brains as to how he could enhance the effects of the Yin-Yang Divine Lightning, But he was stuck at a bottleneck, and it seemed like he could only consult his Senior Brother.
With Senior Brother’s advice, I will be able to break through the bottleneck in no time to come!
Just when Qin Yundi was about to speak, a maniac cry echoed in the distant skies.
“Shen Tian, you despicable fellow! How dare you make use of our ancestors’ rules to take advantage of Junior Sister Yunxi!
“Come battle me if you have the guts to do so! I’d like to see what abilities you possess, oh our mighty Saint!”
Right after those words were heard, golden-red divine lights broke through the sky. A man donned in Golden Divine Armor and holding on to the Fire Dragon Spear was seen speeding toward this direction.
Behind him, gigantic Crimson Phoenix and Qilin avatars filled the whole sky and gave off oppressive vibes.
Correct, this person was none other than the strongest among all the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground disciples, the First Senior Brother who had reached the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage, Fang Chang!
Yet he was all fuming and wore an outraged expression as he neared the Saint Mountain.
A handsome guy followed behind him, with anxiety written all over his face.
“First Senior Brother, please don’t be reckless. We are all disciples of the same sect!
“Peace, please act on the sake of peace!”
