Chapter 93 The Nameless Charlatan

Finally, it was Lin Yue's turn. He possessed the Wanjun Body, had infinite strength, and preferred heavier Magic Treasures.

He strolled around the treasure vault. He picked up and tested the glistening Flying Swords and exquisite Magic Treasures, but they all felt light and flimsy, not satisfying.

Finally, he arrived at the Wanjun heavy treasure area. Dozens of heavy treasures were lined up on both sides, either embedded in the stone wall recesses or suspended over the spiritual spring. Each one emitted a dense, heavy Spiritual Qi—any heavy treasure admitted into the core treasure vault of the Qingyun Sect was astonishingly heavy, yet as Lin Yue walked through half of the area, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

He first set his sights on the "Mountain Suppressing Seal" in the corner.

This Seal was cast from black iron mixed with deep-sea sinking stone, standing about three feet tall. The face of the Seal was carved with intricate mountain patterns, and just looking at it conveyed a sense of weight capable of suppressing mountains and filling seas.

The plaque on the side read: "Mountain Suppressing Seal, weighs 13,000 catties, can invoke earth-attribute Spiritual Qi to suppress enemies."

Lin Yue reached out and scooped it up, his five fingers locking onto the handle. He felt a sense of heaviness, but it was far from his expectations.

He casually weighed the Mountain Suppressing Seal in his hand, and the Seal body struck the stone wall with a dull boom, but he looked disdainful: "Only ten thousand or so catties, it's like carrying a piece of wood. Not satisfying."

After saying this, he threw the Seal back to its original place. The black iron Seal smashed into the ground, causing the treasure vault to tremble slightly, but he turned and walked away without a care.

Not far ahead, a nine-story Square Heaven Pagoda came into view. The pagoda body was crafted from ten-thousand-year black ice iron, with different earth-attribute talismans embedded in each level. A pale golden Earth Vein Bead hung at the top of the pagoda, radiating rich earth Spiritual Qi.

The plaque read: "Square Heaven Pagoda, weighs 37,000 catties, layers can stack to increase pressure, difficult for a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator to shake its edge."

Lin Yue raised his hand to grab the base of the pagoda, and with a little effort, he uprooted the nine-story treasure pagoda.

The pagoda body was as steady as a rock in his hand, and the talismans lit up with a pale golden halo due to the traction of Spiritual Qi. However, after testing the feel of swinging it, he still shook his head: "Thirty thousand plus catties is still too light. Swinging it feels empty; I can't even unleash thirty percent of the power of my Ten Thousand Jun Force."

He casually set the Square Heaven Pagoda to the side. The moment the pagoda body touched the ground, it actually smashed out a circle of fine cracks.

In the deepest part of the treasure vault, a Divine Mountain Hammer lay quietly on a spiritual crystal platform.

The hammer body was condensed from extraterrestrial meteorite iron mixed with Divine Mountain stone. The hammer head was covered in gullies, appearing to have the veins of mountains and rivers, and the handle was wrapped in thousand-year-old flood dragon tendons. Visually, it appeared more overbearing than the previous two heavy treasures. The plaque was labeled: "Divine Mountain Hammer, weighs 72,000 catties, one strike can shatter mountains, requires Peak Ninth Level of Qi Refining to barely lift."

The surrounding Disciples guarding the treasure vault saw Lin Yue about to move the Divine Mountain Hammer and all showed expressions of shock—such a heavy treasure had historically only been attempted by Body Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage; a Disciple at the Qi Refinement Stage would likely find it difficult to even lift it.

But the next second, Lin Yue grabbed the hammer handle with one hand. With a slight effort, the 70,000-plus-catty Divine Mountain Hammer was easily lifted by him, and he even swung it around casually a couple of times.

The wind from the hammer whistled, causing the surrounding Spiritual Qi to ripple, but Lin Yue still didn't have a hint of satisfaction on his face: "Seventy thousand plus catties, it finally has some weight, but unfortunately it's still lacking."

He placed the Divine Mountain Hammer back onto the spiritual crystal platform. The moment the hammer body fell, the spiritual crystal platform was pressed down by half an inch. "It doesn't feel heavy enough when swung, and I can't fully unleash the Wanjun Overlord Body. No, this won't do."

He had tried three recognized top-tier heavy treasures in a row, and not one was to his liking; Lin Yue couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

He possessed the Wanjun Body, and his physical strength had long since far exceeded his peers. Ordinary heavy treasures were no different from toys in his hands, but he specifically liked the heavy, sinking sensation when swinging a heavy Magic Treasure, as it allowed him to unleash his strength to the extreme.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous corner below the spiritual crystal platform—there was a lonely red iron staff standing in the corner.

That red iron staff was a full zhang long, as thick as a bowl, and entirely crimson red. The surface had no patterns at all, looking completely ordinary.

But when Lin Yue reached out to take it, the surrounding Cultivators all showed expressions of surprise—this red iron staff weighed ten thousand jun. For an ordinary Cultivator at the Qi Refinement Stage, let alone picking it up, even pushing it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Other Cultivators had tried it before, but in the end, they could only shrink back. Over time, it was abandoned in the corner, ignored by everyone.

Yet Lin Yue lifted the red iron staff without any effort and even swung it around a few times, the wind whistling with power. A satisfied smile appeared on his face: "This is it! It's heavy, and it feels comfortable to use!"

Seeing this, a flash of surprise also crossed Liu Qingyan's eyes.

She walked forward, carefully examining the red iron staff, and slowly said: "This is the 'Nameless Divine Staff'. What Materials it was refined from is unknown, but it is indestructible. However, apart from being hard and heavy, it has no other special powers, and it consumes an extreme amount of Spiritual Qi, which is why it has always been ignored. However, you have innate Divine Power and have Cultivated a fierce Cultivation Technique, so this Nameless Divine Staff can be considered fated to you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue was even happier. He gripped the Nameless Divine Staff and slowly injected his own Spiritual Qi into it. A faint red light flashed across the surface of the red iron staff, and the originally cold staff body became warm.

Although there was no earth-shattering phenomenon, Lin Yue could feel that the Nameless Divine Staff was becoming increasingly compatible with his Spiritual Qi, and it became even more handy to swing. He tried injecting more Spiritual Qi, and the Nameless Divine Staff emitted a dull hum, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

The moment Lin Yue injected Spiritual Qi into the red iron staff, the originally warm staff body suddenly erupted with a blinding crimson light. A wild and fierce aura gushed out from the staff, like an ancient Vicious Beast breaking free from its Seal!

The surrounding treasure vault Disciples were instantly forced to retreat repeatedly by this aura, their faces pale, and even breathing became difficult.

Liu Qingyan furrowed her brows tightly. The pure spirit immortal flute quietly floated in front of her, a glistening white Spiritual Qi protecting her body—this Evil Qi was actually even more piercing than that of any Golden Core Stage evil Cultivator she had ever seen.

"Hum—!"

The red iron staff emitted a deafening hum, and fine black patterns emerged on the surface of the staff body, looking like dried bloodstains, or perhaps ferocious beast patterns.

Lin Yue felt a tyrannical suction force coming from his palm. The Spiritual Qi in his body was being crazily pulled and sucked, surging into the depths along the staff body. At the same time, countless cold and bone-chilling Evil Qi surged back in, rushing along the Meridians towards his Dantian.

[System Emergency Alert: Ancient evil weapon detected! This staff is named 'zhensha divine staff', for it is an object refined by an ancient demon god, containing a remnant soul of evil, addicted to slaughter, and must not be forcibly claimed as master! Currently, Evil Qi is invading the Meridians, the host is facing a Possession crisis, mortality rate 98%!]

Just as the System alert sound finished, Lin Yue felt a sharp pain in his Sea of Consciousness. A phantom of a demon god with a green face and fangs crawled out from the staff, opening its bloody maw to bite at his Divine Soul!

That phantom was clad in black armor, holding the same style of staff, and the Evil Qi around its body had condensed into substance, causing even the golden light of the prajna divine armor to be stained a few shades darker.
