136: Hammer Land, Law Fragments

After a long time.

They lay down exhausted, enjoying the rare tranquility.

"Junior Martial Uncle, no matter what, I will find a way to treat your injuries."

"It's fine, Junior Martial Nephew. I'm already content just being with you like this. Whether I have Cultivation or not is irrelevant."

"How can that be? Your injuries were caused by me, so of course I must take responsibility."

"I said it's fine, why are you so stubborn?"

Shen Mingzhu smiled helplessly, then suddenly realized her own situation, and a look of joy appeared on her pretty face: "I'm recovering! My body is starting to recover!"

Lin Yuan's expression changed, and he quickly released his spiritual sense to probe into her body. Upon confirming her words, he also said happily, "It really is recovering, what's going on?"

Shen Mingzhu's gaze fell on the man, seeing that the scars on his body had completely healed, and concluded, "I think it's because we Cultivated using the Yin Yang Divine Skill, which allowed both of our injuries to recover."

Lin Yuan also noticed his own condition and nodded in agreement: "It should be so. I didn't expect the Yin Yang Divine Skill to have such an effect; it's truly remarkable."

Shen Mingzhu sighed, "It can not only speed up Cultivation but also heal injuries. There should be no second Cultivation Technique like this under heaven, right?"

"Who cares if there's a second one? For now, treating your injuries is more important."

Without waiting for her to say more, Lin Yuan got up and pressed down.

Just as he was about to make his next move, the stone chamber suddenly trembled violently.

"What's happening?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the ground completely split open, and the two fell towards the ground.

In his shock, Lin Yuan quickly regained his composure, embraced the Mei Fu's delicate body, and at the same time released his Origin Qi to protect both their bodies.

After falling about a hundred meters, they finally touched flat ground.

Looking forward, they saw a massive bluestone square, with a ceiling about three zhang high. Night-luminescent pearls were embedded in the surrounding stone walls, illuminating the entire space.

Their gazes were quickly drawn to the stone platform in the center of the square.

The platform was half a person's height, and suspended above it was a completely black hammer with dark blue patterns.

Seeing this, their first reaction was: Zhan Tian Hammer! This is the Zhan Tian Hammer!

Lin Yuan immediately took a step, wanting to rush forward, but was stopped by the Mei Fu.

"Wait, since there's a supreme treasure here, it's highly likely to be accompanied by traps."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan calmed down and nodded, "Hmm, let's use external objects to scout the way first."

He took out several Origin Stones and threw them forward.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Immediately, a killing Formation emerged from the ground, grinding the Origin Stones into powder.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, saying with lingering fear, "Thankfully, Junior Martial Uncle reminded me. Otherwise, with my Physical Body, I wouldn't be able to withstand the strangulation of the Restriction."

The Mei Fu furrowed her brows: "With this Formation obstructing us, we can't get close to the stone platform at all."

Lin Yuan was also troubled: "What should we do? Can we fly over?"

"The Restriction covers the air; even if we fly, we won't escape its detection."

"Then it seems there's no way."

The two stood on the periphery, gazing at the battle hammer in the center, feeling as if ants were crawling on them.

This feeling of seeing a treasure but being unable to obtain it was truly unbearable.

Just as they were at a loss, a line of text slowly appeared in mid-air not far away.

【I have set up the Yin Yang Qi Soul Formation in the stone chamber, which requires Yin and Yang Qi to activate. Since you have arrived here, it means you have successfully activated the Formation. I congratulate you both first.】

Upon seeing this, the two immediately understood. It turned out that the Qi they emitted during their dual Cultivation caused them to leave the stone chamber. It truly was a serendipitous coincidence.

【Since you have arrived here by this method, it indicates that you are not members of my Gao Family. Therefore, the Zhan Tian Hammer is not destined for you. However, since you have come all this way, if I were to offer nothing, some might say I am not generous. These Law fragments shall be a gift to you both. Once you have absorbed them, the Formation will automatically teleport you away.】

As the second line of text appeared, a wondrous energy descended upon them.

"These are fragments of the Great Dao Law!"

Shen Mingzhu's face lit up with joy, and she immediately turned her head and said, "Junior Martial Nephew! Quickly absorb these fragments! They will be of great use when you Breakthrough to the Dao Platform Realm!"

Lin Yuan understood the preciousness of this item and decisively sat down cross-legged on the spot, closing his eyes and calming his mind to absorb it.

Outside the city.

A group of figures dressed in cloud-patterned clothes stood in mid-air, looking down, their faces filled with shock.

They saw that the magnificent War Heaven City, at its original site, had completely collapsed, forming a vast, enormous pit.

A strong Formation aura emanated from within, blocking everyone's spiritual sense from probing.

Just then, a woman in a white dress flew out of the hole, who was none other than Yun Qiying.

"Sect Master, how is it?"

Yun Wei quickly stepped forward to ask.

"The Formation here is too powerful; even with my Cultivation, I cannot break it."

Yun Qiying shook her head, her brows filled with worry.

When the news of what happened in War Heaven City reached the Sect, she rushed here immediately, attempting to go in and rescue people, but was blocked by the Formation.

Yun Wei was incredulous: "You are a Purple Mansion Realm mighty expert; even you cannot break this Formation. Could the person who set it up be a Saint?"

Yun Qiying nodded: "The first City Lord of War Heaven City was not only a Saint but also a Saint-Grade Formation Master. The Formation he laid down, even after tens of thousands of years, is still perfectly intact and effective. Perhaps only by finding a Formation Master of the same Rank can it be broken."

Yun Wei's eyes widened: "A Formation Master of the same Rank? It's hard to find even one Saint in the Eastern Domain, let alone a Saint-Grade Formation Master. This is almost impossible to achieve."

Yun Qiying sighed heavily: "So, we can only leave it to fate now, hoping they can turn misfortune into blessing and return safely.

She had already learned from her subordinates that the list of trapped personnel included important figures of the Sect such as Lin Yuan, Shen Mingzhu, and Zhao Cailian. If they were to die, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss for the Cloud Ripple Sect.

Therefore, while anxious, she could only pray inwardly, hoping that the Disciples would survive.

Under the city.

On the bluestone square.

After a period of Cultivation, Lin Yuan not only absorbed all the Law fragments but also digested the Mei Fu's essence, Breaking through from the third Rank of the Condensing Core Realm to the sixth Rank!

"Junior Martial Uncle, I'm done Cultivating, how about you?"

Lin Yuan excitedly stood up and turned to ask.

The Mei Fu said softly, "I've been ready for a while now, just waiting for you, little fellow."

"Hehe, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's fine, we're not in a hurry, it's just a pity about this Zhan Tian Hammer."

Her gaze fell on the black hammer, and Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but feel regret.

This was an Emperor Weapon!

There were only a few pieces on the entire Continent!

If they could obtain it, their combat power would undoubtedly skyrocket!

Lin Yuan looked at the battle hammer and sighed softly, "It is indeed a pity, but for a treasure like an Emperor Weapon, even if we could get it, with our Cultivation, we definitely wouldn't be able to keep it, right?"

Shen Mingzhu nodded lightly. She understood the principle that a common man is innocent but his possession of a treasure makes him guilty. Her previous words were merely a sigh of lament.
