26: Thunderous Crescent Slash, the Silent Broken Blade

Qin Wushang sat cross-legged in the open space in front of the wooden house, the ancient Jade Slip before him shimmering.

Saint Grade saber technique!

Thunder Half-Moon Slash!

This was a Saint Grade technique Heavenly Martial King had accidentally obtained in an ancient Secret Realm; it was incredibly terrifying.

"Thunder as the saber's edge, cutting through all thorns on the Dao path; moon as the saber's balance, the full moon's Dao Palace order; one slash draws the power of the nine heavens' Lightning Tribulation..."

"The half-moon gathers the pure brilliance of the great yin to condense the Saber Intent, forging an indestructible saber light with the power of thunder and moon's resonance..."

Qin Wushang's body shimmered with lightning, and the three great Dao Palaces behind him spun violently, drawing in terrifying power from heaven and earth.

He was Cultivating this Thunder Half-Moon Slash!

After a day of study, he had already gained some insight, but he had yet to unleash a single slash.

The reason was...!

No saber!

His Immortal-Slaying Demonic Saber was an Emperor Grade, which he could not use!

Once an Emperor Armament was unleashed, the heavens and earth would change color, and the entire Eastern Barren Domain would likely tremble.

That was a rare item, and once it appeared, it would surely attract competition from powerful experts across the world.

Unless absolutely necessary, he would not use that thing!

"How can one practice saber without a saber?"

A voice came, and Qin Wushang suddenly opened his eyes.

His gaze was sharp, as if saber light flowed within, and he looked up to see two figures slowly approaching.

He was a little surprised!

That hunched figure slowly overlapped with a figure in his memory.

Qin Clan, Qin Lie!

The old man who had accompanied him for nearly five years when he was young!

"What? You don't even say hello when you see your grandfather?"

Qin Lie walked over, smiling.

His cloudy old eyes also scrutinized Qin Wushang, becoming more satisfied the more he looked.

"I..."

Qin Wushang hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping.

Facing other members of the Qin Clan, he could completely ignore them, or even beat them up, but not this old man.

Whether in this life or the previous one, the old man Qin Lie had always been good to him.

"Grandfather!"

Finally, he called out.

"Ah!"

"Good! Good! As expected of my eldest grandson, your words are pleasant to hear! Much better than that little brat's!"

Qin Lie's smile grew even wider.

After coming out of seclusion, he had also met Qin Wuchen. Although he looked decent and had good talent, Qin Lie just couldn't bring himself to like him.

He was too pretentious!

He was a Saint Venerable, after all, and could see through that kind of acting at a glance.

He really had no good impression of that child, Qin Wuchen!

"Revered Master! I told you! This kid isn't as heartless as you said!"

"He still calls me grandfather!"

Qin Lie said with immense relief and a smile.

On the way here, the two had made a bet!

He won!

"Alright, alright! I know your eldest grandson is amazing; don't gloat after getting a bargain!"

Grand Master Mo Hongchen shook her head slightly, smiling kindly.

"Kid! Come here quickly and greet your Grand Master!"

Qin Lie said.

Grand Master Mo Hongchen was his Master, so it was not inappropriate for Qin Wushang to call her Grand Master.

"Shang'er greets Grand Master!"

Qin Wushang stood up and bowed.

In his eyes, the old woman also had a panel!

His grandfather Qin Lie's was red, while the old woman's was golden, which surprised him greatly.

【Name: Grand Master Mo Hongchen】

【Age: 6969 years old】

【Realm: Saint Venerable Realm】

【Identity: Grand Elder of Great Chu Academy, Martial God Consort of Great Chu Empire, Elder of Heaven Mending Sacred Sect】

【Fate: Golden】

【Recent Opportunity: None】

...Her age was very great, nearly three thousand years older than his grandfather, and her identities were unusually numerous, all of them holding high positions and power!

"Not bad! The student surpasses the teacher!"

"Much stronger than your father!"

Grand Master Mo Hongchen said, raising her hand to pat Qin Wushang's shoulder, and the latter's body sank.

"Rumble!"

His body trembled, and the conical Saber Intent he had condensed was directly shattered by the terrifying force.

"This Intent, it's not good, too mixed!"

"It's better to disperse it and Cultivate anew!"

Grand Master Mo Hongchen said.

"Thank you, Grand Master!"

Qin Wushang felt his body and mind lighten, the sharp aura dissipating, and he slowly spoke his thanks.

"Since you call this old woman Grand Master, you can skip the thanks; saying too much makes it seem like you're an outsider!"

"To practice saber, you must have a saber. When this old woman was young, she accidentally obtained a special saber, which might be suitable for you."

"Today, I'll give it to you as a Meeting gift (meeting gift)."

Grand Master Mo Hongchen said, and a ray of light flew out from her Storage Ring, a broken saber appearing before Qin Wushang.

The saber was three feet long, its shape somewhat resembled an embroidered spring saber, but the tip was already broken, and it was covered in rust!

Qin Wushang's first impression, his first feeling, was... a good thing!

The reason was simple!

A tetanus weapon, and one given by a powerful figure, how could it be an ordinary item?

"A gift from an Elder cannot be refused!"

"Then Shang'er thanks Grand Master here!"

Qin Wushang took the rusty battle saber, and with great politeness, bowed once more.

"This saber, it's incredibly hard; this old woman doesn't know its specific grade."

"It can even cut through Saint Armaments, so what kind of Legacy it holds, you'll need to discover yourself."

As Grand Master Mo Hongchen's words came out, both of them were very surprised.

Capable of cutting through Saint Armaments!

Then the quality of this saber must be above Saint Armaments, it must be the legendary Emperor Armament!

"Grand Master! Has it always been like this?"

Qin Wushang asked.

"Yes! It cannot be recognized by dripping blood! And it will devour the blood of living beings! When you use it, you must be careful not to let your mind be affected."

Grand Master Mo Hongchen nodded, reminding him.

A saber that devours blood must have a spirit. She had obtained it many years ago and studied it for many years, but couldn't recognize it as her own, which only meant she didn't have that Opportunity.

"Revered Master! Isn't that a Demonic Armament?"

"If it's for Shang'er to use, wouldn't it be inappropriate?"

Qin Lie frowned.

Only fierce armaments, Demonic Armaments, those evil existences, would need to constantly devour the blood of living beings.

And such items generally backfire on their owners, often refined by Demonic Path Cultivators!

He did not wish for his grandson to walk the Demonic Path.

"Whether he can even recognize it as his own is a problem!"

"This old woman doesn't have much time left! It's good to pass it down; I can't take it to the grave."

Grand Master Mo Hongchen said.

She had actually just given it away casually, not believing Qin Wushang had much chance of awakening the broken saber that had been dormant for so long.

"Alright! This old woman won't disturb your reunion, grandfather and grandson! I should go take care of some final matters!"

"Old, old... my strength fails me!"

She said, and before her words had fully fallen, her hunched figure had already disappeared.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, neither having any intention of continuing to converse at first.
