Divine Weapon Pavilion.

There were countless divine weapons there.

This place was filled with divine weapons rarely seen in normal times but no one was fighting for them. After picking up a divine weapon to sense it, they put it down again and then looked for another one.

Each of them was looking for the most suitable divine weapon.

According to the rules, if they were able to find a divine weapon that they had chemistry with, they would qualify for the legacy! Everyone was searching furiously.

Shush!

Shush!

One by one, figures were crossing the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

“Haha, I’ve succeeded!”

One man was wielding a longsword.

Buzz—

Buzz—

The long sword resonated slightly with his energy.

Everyone took a glance and could not help feeling envious. Prior to this, some people had snatched other people’s weapons but discovered that it did not resonate with them.

“I’ve succeeded!”

“I’ve succeeded too!”

Sounds of hysterical laughter could be heard constantly.

However…

No one noticed something.

Among these cultivators, a group of people was sensing the weapons quietly. Even when their energy resonated with the divine weapons, they were expressionless.

They did not utter any sound.

Occasionally.

The divine weapons would resonate with them.

They would glance at each other and the person who resonated with the weapon would quietly put it away.

After a long while…

Buzz—

A beam of shocking light was spreading.

Bang!

This beam of light repelled the cultivators at the Divine Weapon Pavilion out of the place..

“The divine weapons have already completed the selection of their masters.

“The legacy is about to begin.

“Everyone… Please leave.”

A cold and aloof voice could be heard.

Disappointed, those people who did not get any weapons could only give up. Seeing that there might be another chance at the Imperial Beast Pavilion, they dashed towards that place instantly.

At this very moment…

The legacy at the Divine Weapon Pavilion officially began.

Shush!

Lights and shadows condensed.

Everyone’s hand was holding onto a divine weapon.

A striking glow bloomed and beams of light pillars separated everyone. Endless energy emerged from the divine weapon and surged into the cultivator’s body.

Pfft!

Some cultivators spewed fresh blood on the spot.

“Ahhh—”

It was a miserable cry.

A cultivator’s veins were broken as the divine weapon perforated him.

Afterward…

He was gradually healed by the divine weapon.

“You…”

He was in disbelief.

Afterward…

Swoosh!

He was perforated again.

This happened multiple times. His entire body was trembling but he didn’t dare to speak at all.

At this very moment…

Cold and chilling thoughts were booming in his mind. Just at this moment, he looked at the contents of the legacy and then fell into despair when he found out what the Divine Weapon Pavilion truly was!

Blacksmith?

Forging?

Controlling divine weapons?

No.

It was not any of this…

The main cultivation focus of the so-called Divine Weapon Pavilion was actually the divine weapon itself!

In this place, the spirit bodies in the divine weapons were the true masters and the cultivators were merely a tool used by the divine weapons to increase their powers!

That was all.

That was right, there the divine weapons were the masters!

The so-called legacy approach was in essence to make the human bodies respond to the divine weapon’s actions, eventually attaining the stage where the divine weapon could direct the human body with ease!

Damn it!

His expression changed drastically. How was this different from being a slave?!

In that case…

What was the point of living then?

He had a strong character and actually tried to committed suicide without hesitating. However, what made him utterly despaired was that, under the control of the divine weapon, he could not even kill himself!

At this very moment, at the center of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

A spear was dazzling with unprecedented splendor. It was the pavilion master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion!

Yes.

The pavilion master here was also a divine weapon!

The so-called affinity was the divine weapon’s choice of its master. Wrong, more precisely, it was their choice of slave!

Before his eyes…

This young man that it had chosen was the most talented one!

Buzz—

Lights and shadow flashed.

It released a dazzling glow.

Shush!

The young man held it tightly.

It was heavy and sturdy.

There was a purplish shine on its entire body, a mesmerizing metallic texture as well as a faint trace of an ancient aura… One could tell that this spear was very extraordinary with one glance.

Buzz—

Lights and shadow flashed.

A beam of lights shrouded the person and brought him to a new world.

Swoosh!

The spear transformed into a spirit and voluntarily appeared.

It surged into the body of the young man and attempted to control him. However, to its disbelief, its powerful strength failed at this moment!

“You want to control me, right?”

The young man’s faint voice could be heard.

“You’re aware of this?”

The spear spirit’s expression changed drastically.

How does this young man know about the Divine Weapon Pavilion?

“Of course.”

The young man said in a teasing voice, “Among all the men in black that I’ve arrested, there are always disobedient people who reveal interesting things…

“Heh. Do you think I’ve learned nothing as a policeman?

“Most of us are in the Divine Weapon Pavilion right now. Our purpose is to control you guys and return you to your original positions…”

The young man’s gaze was cold and sinister.

Shush!

The spear spirit’s expression changed drastically.

Its thoughts swept across the Divine Weapon Pavilion and was terrified to discover that, besides a few divine weapons that had successfully controlled the cultivators, most of the divine weapons had failed to do so!

“Who exactly are you guys?”

The spear spirit was terrified and shocked.

“We are only passersby.”

The young man smiled faintly. ” A weapon has to possess the self-awareness of a weapon.”

Shush!

He grabbed the spear with strength. Beams of purple thunderbolts surged into it, killing the spear spirit and leaving behind only the divine weapon in its purest form!

“Is this the so-called legendary divine weapon?”

The young man smiled.

Shush!

He lifted the spear.

Radiant purple lights shone.

Bang!

The spear dropped to the ground and the entire Divine Weapon Pavilion was shaking.

“I am sorry.

“Henceforth…

“We are the pavilion masters of Divine Weapon Pavilion!”

…

In the Imperial Beast Pavilion.

The acknowledging of the masters by the beasts was also a scheme.

The spirit beasts could actually transform into humans. Even though they were in half-human forms, they looked horrifying and caused fear and trepidation in people.

The cultivators had turned into slaves instead.

The real master was the powerful spirit beast!

However…

At this moment.

Just as the most powerful spirit beast was about to control a tall burly man, he was charged by the furious burly man!

“Damn!

“The Breeze Pavilion bullied me. You are bullying me as well!

“Do you really think that I’m that easily bullied?!”

Bang!

Bang!

The burly man exploded into a rage.

The powerful strength of a peak six-star was completely unleashed.

His entire body was glowing and he looked like King Kong. All the abilities of the spirit beast disappeared and it could only fight with the burly man. However, it was almost beaten to death on the spot!

“Summon the contract!

“Send it to me.

“I want to be the master!”

At the sight that the abilities sent by the spirit beast were not quite right, he gave the spirit beast another round of bashings.

“You’re not obedient?!”

The burly man was infuriated.

Look at this damn spirit beast. It kept wanting to scheme against him and tried to do so three to four times. In the end, he was enraged and beat the spirit beast to death!

The spirit beast fell to the ground in despair. Even in the moments before its death, it could not believe that this burly man had actually beat it to death. His temper was super violent!

Didn’t you guys come here for the sake of the fortuitous encounter?

The pavilion master has already appeared. Shouldn’t they negotiate properly with it and strive to gain more? How could someone beat it to death purely due to slight disagreements?

Bang!

The spirit beast fell to the ground in a daze.

“Humph! Sissy legacy.”

The burly man left in a rage.

Pavilion master?

To hell with the pavilion master!

The Breeze Pavilion refused to pass the legacy to me. You guys are the same!

I don’t even care.

…

At this very moment…

In the Breeze Pavilion.

Seeing that the light pillars were diminishing, Old Zhang was extremely frantic.

It was true.

There were a total of twelve inner sect disciples and only one lady. Why did Old Li have to choose this lady? Was it true that he…

Ss——

Old Zhang could feel chills down his spine at the thought of this.

Thankfully…

At this moment.

Lights and shadows moved before their eyes.

The two light pillars that had penetrated Lu Ming and Xiaobai disappeared. The legacy process was completed.

Shush!

Lu Ming opened his eyes suddenly.

His murderous intention was obvious.

“Pavilion master,” everyone greeted him respectfully.

“Yes.”

Lu Ming nodded slightly and then paused for a moment. “I don’t feel right. Wait a minute… Let me try to adapt to this…”

“Huh?”

Everyone was stunned.

Adapt…

Adapt to what?

“Didn’t you guys try to adapt?”

Lu Ming’s eyes swept across them and he said coldly, “This won’t do. It’s too obvious! I’ve checked his memory earlier. This young lad’s background is quite powerful. It’s the same for the people whose bodies you’ve entered. If you want to make use of these resources, you’ll have to familiarize yourself with their behaviour! Understand?”

“Yes.”

Everyone thought so too.

The pavilion master was indeed thorough in his consideration.

Well…

Since they had already integrated with the original host of the body, it was best to pretend to be them now!

Hence…

Everyone began to imitate the cultivator whom they integrated with.

“Old Li?”

Old Zhang approached Xiaobai gingerly.

“Huh?”

Xiaobai blinked her big eyes quizzically.

“Hmm, not bad.”

Lu Ming praised, “Look, Old Li is very good at pretending.”

“Oh.”

Everyone was filled with admiration.

Tsk tsk.

This was Old Li, indeed. He could pretend to be a young lady that well.

Old Zhang’s expression was sullen.

Damn it.

He was suddenly filled with doubts about the decades that they had spent together… Could it be that, right from the beginning, Old Li had harbored lustful intentions towards him?!

Damn!

It was no wonder that he meddled in his previous matchmaking session…

“You…”

Old Zhang cast a deep gaze at Xiaobai. “You better watch the way you act.”

“Huh?”

Xiaobai blinked her big eyes innocently.

Old Zhang glanced and actually felt somewhat charmed.

Damn!

I’m done for…

Old Zhang’s expression changed drastically and he hurried to leave.

I…

I actually felt something for Old Li?!

That was too terrifying!

Careful!

Steady!

She is Old Li!

The ugly Old Li!

Old Zhang muttered to himself a dozen times before he could calm down. He simply refused to glance at Xiaobai and quietly familiarized himself with the demeanor of the host of the body.

Very soon…

Everyone had familiarized themselves.

“Very good.”

Lu Ming was very satisfied. “Remember, the Spiritualists are already dead. We attained the legacy and rose to power henceforth. This is the correct path, understand?

“In the future…

“Even if we rise to powers!

“Even if the Spiritualist vocation develops again, it will be a new sect. Understand?”

Lu Ming’s voice was low.

“Yes!”

Everyone obeyed the order.

Very well.

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

Look, weren’t they listening to him abidingly now? Transmigration and integration… He was more experienced in this than these people. He could settle them in seconds.

However…

At this moment.

Shush!

A streak of dense green hues drifted across the room. The faint green hues engulfed the entire sect again!

“Oh?”

Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.

“The legacy is over. The Restart Array has completed its mission…” Li Jianli exclaimed emotionally.

Oo…

It’s going to dissipate?

Lu Ming pondered deeply.

“Finally… We have returned.”

Li Jianli was filled with emotions. “Fortunately… we didn’t use the last plan. It is considered a great fortune of misfortune.”

Everyone thought so too.

Plan?

What plan?

Lu Ming froze a little. There was another plan?

“Don’t blame us for hiding it from you.”

Li Jianli smiled bitterly. “This plan was a little unique.”

“Oh?”

Lu Ming was nonchalant.

Judging from this, even the pavilion master of the Breeze Pavilion did not know about it?

“It has been too long and no one was sure what would happen. To prevent any hitches, we made many preparations. Amongst them, the last plan is… If all the three pavilion masters failed to resurrect, the Restart Array will transform!”

Li Jianli’s expression was austere.

Yes.

This was the final plan.

When the three pavilion masters died, this meant that the Spiritualist sect was already facing a life-and-death situation!

Under those circumstances, the Restart Array had to change and create opportunities for all the Spiritualists to leave with and retain the last legacy!

This… was the final plan!

Of course.

Everything was completed successfully and this plan was not needed now.

“It’s okay.”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

All the three pavilion masters were dead…

Fortunately…

This kind of matter could not possibly happen. He just had to tide over this period and then leave this place. He would be safe then…

However…

At this moment.

Bang!

The towering green lights were becoming more and more intense.

Clang—

Clang—

Sounds of the sword were as chilling as the snow.

The snowflakes drifting down actually condensed into swords and attempted to stop the Restart Array.

This…

“No! Something is wrong!”

Li Jianli and the group were startled.

This was not a sign that the Restart Array was about to end. Clearly, this was a sign of the Restart Array reactivating again. No, this was not reactivation but transformation!

This was the final plan!

The transformation of the array meant that the three pavilion masters were already dead.

But…

How could that be possible?!

Shush!

Everyone glanced at Lu Ming simultaneously.

Lu Ming was silent.

Damn it. You guys really leave me with no alternative?!

“Hmm…”

Lu Ming pondered for a moment. “It’s highly possible that that woman who released the Sword Embryo is fooling around!”

Shush!

Everyone was silent.

That Sword Embryo…

It was highly possible too.

However…

Their gazes were filled with doubts when they looked at Lu Ming. The pavilion master was extremely powerful and had a special status. They dared not question him but this did not mean that they were not suspicious!

Hence…

They instinctively glanced at the young man who had been possessed.

Shush!

The young man stepped forward.

“You are Lu Ming,” the young man said coldly.

“I am not.”

Lu Ming sighed.

“You are,” the young man said coldly.

“I am not,” Lu Ming repeated.

The young man was silent. He then asked, “Who am I then?”

Lu Ming focused his gaze.

Damn!

Who the hell knows who you are!

Nevertheless, he was ultimately very smart. He could derive some clues from his demeanor and the tone of voice.

“Why bother?”

Lu Ming sighed. “I made you in charge of the assessment because I believe you. Why don’t you believe me?”

Yes, that person was actually that teenager who assessed them!

“Who am I?”

The young man said coldly.

The gazes of the rest of the people were fixated on him.

Perhaps…

Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.

Shush!

He recalled the appearance of that apparition. Although it seemed to be about forty to fifty years old, it bore some resemblance to the teenager who carried out the assessment. Furthermore, none of them dared to question him, they were looking to this teenager instead. This went to say that the duo had an extremely close relationship. In that case…

“You’re my son!” Lu Ming said in a cold voice.

Shush!

The whole world was silent.

The gazes of everyone at Lu Ming were suddenly filled with murderous intent. “True enough, you’re Lu Ming!”

Lu Ming’s heart skipped a beat.

He had guessed it wrong?!

“Because…”

There was a cold glint in the eyes of the teenager. “I am your father!”

Lu Ming’s face suddenly dimmed.

“I knew that there was a problem with you.”

The young man’s murderous intent became stronger. “I accidentally consumed the spirit fruits of an entire youth fruit orchard when I was young. Therefore, my looks won’t age. Otherwise, why do you think that I retained a part of my body when others’ bodies have disappeared although a thousand years have passed? Therefore, I am the core of the Restart Array!”

Lu Ming was silent.

Damn!

You can’t toy with me like that! Who could guess that?! Why aren’t you the grandfather of the pavilion master! Crap!

“Where is he now?”

The young man was filled with murderous intent.

“He has become a ball of light and burned himself into nothing…” Lu Ming said honestly.

The young man’s hand trembled.

Upon hearing this, the rest of the people also felt their bodies turned cold.

They had escaped the calamity a thousand years ago, killed all of their past teammates, deceived everyone and created a Restart Array, only to die in the hands of this teenager now?

What was this?

“I must kill you!”

The young man was filled with hate.

Bang!

Lights and shadows surrounded him and he wanted to kill Lu Ming.

However…

At this moment.

Bang!

That surge of engulfing green lights landed.

Buzz—

Buzz—

The frost left behind by Lu Yan’s self-destructed Sword Embryo was shining furiously. However, this time, it could not stop the outburst of lights by the Restart Array at all!

It was impossible to stop it!

This was because the Restart Array… had imploded!

Bang!

Bang!

Horrifying green lights swept across the place and engulfed everyone!

“Let’s go!”

The expressions of Li Jianli and the group changed drastically.

Shush!

The few of them left hurriedly.

“Be careful!”

Lu Ming’s expression changed greatly and he left quickly with Xiaobai.

Bang!

The horrifying green lights rapidly drowned the entire world…

…

In Qing Ming City.

Outside the Third Ring Road, in the suburbs.

There were already a number of self-pitched tents in his place.

Right then.

Wiping away their sweat, the policemen were moving the last group of inhabitants.

It was very tough.

Most of the people were very cooperative but there was always a minority who wanted to bring along this and that thing despite their critical situation. As a result, they had wasted a lot of time and energy.

Furthermore, some people were spreading rumors that the higher-ups wanted to take over their lands…

Rumors were flying.

This made moving them even tougher.

Thankfully…

They were finally out…

All the commoners had been successfully evacuated!

“Don’t let me discover that you guys are deceiving me. Otherwise, I will sue you to death.”

Someone said furiously.

The policemen could only smile bitterly.

Brothers.

Can’t you look at the current situation?!

Half of the downtown area has already disappeared. Why do you still want to remain here?

“Don’t bother about him.”

One of the policemen said in a hushed tone, “This guy wants to take advantage of the crisis for personal gain. A while ago, I saw him entering a shop to take an Energy Card…”

Alright.

The policeman smiled grimly.

There were really all kinds of people!

“Everyone… Please stay in the suburbs now and monitor the situation. If nothing happens, we will then…”

Before he could finish his words…

Bang!

There was a deafening sound.

Everyone turned around and was shocked and terrified to discover that, not far away from them, all the downtown area and the areas within the Third Ring Road was shrouded by green lights!

The green lights were becoming more and more overbearing…

In the end…

It suddenly exploded!

The ground trembled.

Countless buildings collapsed. Roads, plants, houses and everything were destroyed by the green lights… Terrifying energy engulfed every nook and corner!

Qing Ming City, destroyed.
