In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

What is Zhang Xiaoshan's level of attainment?

It instantly devoured most of Zhang Xiaoshan's true qi, and the resulting sword energy was immense.

"Young master, could this divine weapon have reached the level of a supreme divine weapon?"

"Hmm! It's only slightly inferior to the black stone spear I forged last time. An inch longer, an inch stronger!"

Zhang Xiaoshan stared at the divine weapon in his hand, wondering how long the fiery energy had been gathering beneath it. The seemingly plain blade actually contained an extremely strong, yang, and domineering sword energy.

When fighting, once the sword energy enters the body, it will instantly burn the opponent's meridians.

However, these are only the effects against the enemy.

It's different for those with Zhang family bloodlines; it even has healing and power-enhancing effects.

Having absorbed most of Zhang Xiaoshan's internal energy, the divine sword itself has given birth to a terrifying and powerful sword essence. It not only shares the same origin as Zhang Xiaoshan's true qi, but also has Zhang Xiaoshan's 'heart blood' sacrifice, thus having a bloodline connection.

Therefore, the Zhang family bloodline sustains it, and the sword energy feeds back, producing unknown effects.

"The appearance of this divine weapon is no longer a secret; the entire Nine Provinces know about it now."

However, since this sword essence is condensed from my own blood and vital energy through a blood sacrifice, it cannot be used by those who are not of my bloodline.

Zhang Xiaoshan's answer made everyone look doubtful.

Can divine weapons have such miraculous effects?

However, considering the signs of the supreme divine weapon's emergence, the entire Nine Provinces probably already know about it, and there will inevitably be a lot of trouble.

But having learned their lesson last time, those people should be much more obedient now.

"Young master, is it the Mohist school?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately realized that this was a divine weapon discovered in the Mo family's sword-forging pool.

If a Mohist master were to ask for it back, wouldn't that mean the sword would have to be returned to its rightful owner?

"Don't worry, the Mo family doesn't know about the existence of this divine weapon either."

This sword is made of meteorite iron from outer space, forged over a hundred years and then tempered in the earth's fire for a thousand years.

However, this is merely a peerless divine weapon. The reason this sword was promoted to a supreme divine weapon is due to the sword pool here.

It condenses the essence of ten thousand swords and forges them with earth fire for a thousand years. Even the Mo family patriarch at the time probably didn't expect that such a place existed, capable of nurturing an unparalleled divine weapon.

Otherwise, how could I have gotten such an advantage?

After all, divine weapons choose their masters. Why did they choose Zhang Xiaoshan instead of top swordsmen like Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang, or Gao Jianli?

This is because only Zhang Xiaoshan can sense its presence.

"There's no need to hide the existence of the divine sword, since it's already known throughout the Nine Provinces."

But the origin of the divine sword is said to be that I brought it from the East Sea and forged it in the Mo Clan's Mechanical City!

Everyone nodded upon hearing this. If it was a divine sword forged by the Mo family, why was there no news about it before?

Therefore, if the Mohists want the divine sword, they must at least provide evidence of its existence.

No one outside of them had ever seen this sword. Even when the Mo family came to claim it, they had to reveal the existence of this divine sword.

If I'm wrong, hehehe...

"Okay, let's go!"

After putting away the divine sword, there's nothing left to see here.

Even if there's commotion outside, what does it have to do with him? Who would dare to steal the Zhang family's divine sword, except for one given to him by the Zhang family?

"Young master, this is a forbidden area of ​​the Mo family."

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded upon hearing this, as the forbidden area was also a training ground for the Mo family.

Dragon's Throat, Tiger Leap, Yuan Fei... these are nothing but child's play for true masters. The key lies in the opportunities within—the Way of the King and the Knight.

"You guys wait for me here."

"Yes!"

Looking at the passageway before him, which resembled a bottomless abyss, Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes were filled with curiosity about the forbidden area of ​​the Mo family.

As Zhang Xiaoshan stepped into the forbidden area, everyone dispersed.

After all, the place they enter from here is not the place they come out from here, so they don't need to worry about Zhang Xiaoshan's safety.

..... ......... 0

The pallor on Zhang Xiaoshan's face had vanished along the way. Even with a third of their true qi restored, they wouldn't be a match for him. Moreover, they knew quite a few of Zhang Xiaoshan's trump cards, such as the Pure Yang Dragon Pearl, the Copper Armor Warrior, and the Blood Silkworm Gu King…

And there is also a Grandmaster-level warrior—Yagyu Hyouse!

The reason why Liu Sheng Piaoxu did not appear was to protect Zhang Xiaoshan's safety from the side. If someone were to plot against Zhang Xiaoshan from inside, it would undoubtedly be Liu Sheng Piaoxu's turn to make a move.

The strength of a top-tier grandmaster is beyond doubt.

···

"Another supreme divine weapon!"

Within Xianyang City, less than an hour after receiving news of Zhang Xiaoshan's arrival at the Mechanized City, signs of the divine sword's birth appeared.

Even Ying Zheng, the ruler of the empire, couldn't help but frown.

The Black Stone Spear was an accident, but what about this one?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan has acquired another supreme divine weapon, and right here in the Mechanized City? How did he manage to snag such a bargain?

"We summoned Wang Cheng, who was on his way to wipe out the Mechanized City."

Furthermore, Zhao Gao ordered the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) to gather information about this divine sword. Why would such a divine weapon be hidden within the Mo Clan's Mechanical City?

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Not only was Emperor Ying Zheng curious, but even Zhao Gao was indifferent.

Unexpectedly, there is a supreme-level divine weapon hidden in the Mo Family's Mechanical City. Could it be the Dragon Slayer Sword?

But now it should be in the Zhang family's hands. What luck!

Many of the imperial generals this time were from the Luo Wang organization, but the Luo Wang organization was completely unaware of the divine weapon's informational capabilities.

Chapter 685 Huge Gains: Armored Divine Skill

"Meteorite from outer space! Zhuge Repeating Crossbow! Armored Sect's ultimate technique! Mechanical beast blueprints..."

Emerging from the other exit, Zhang Xiaoshan found himself carrying a considerable number of treasures.

The extraterrestrial meteorite iron in Zhang Xiaoshan's hand has an extremely terrifying texture. It weighs a hundred pounds even though it is only the size of a fist, and its density is two or three times that of gold.

Zhang Xiaoshan learned from the records that these were the materials used to forge the Supreme Divine Sword.

When the founder of the Mohist school obtained it, he noticed the peculiarity of the meteorite. It was not only unusually heavy, but also had a special magnetic field around it.

However, divine iron is difficult to forge. The founder of the Mohist school repeatedly forged it for a hundred years, but it was only a piece of iron and could not be made into a weapon. Therefore, he had no choice but to painfully sink the 'sword blank' into the sword pool.

Unexpectedly, this unintentional act led to the transformation of the divine sword.

Based on the timeline, it's about five hundred years, not the thousand-year fire-forged process Zhang Xiaoshan mentioned. After all, that's just how exaggerated rhetoric works.

Only half of the meteorite iron was used back then, and the other half was stored in this forbidden area of ​​the Mo family.

However, the process of forging a divine sword cannot be replicated. This half of the meteorite iron can at most forge a peerless divine weapon, but it is simply impossible to create an unparalleled divine weapon.

But it's made of top-quality materials, and tempered by heavenly fire.

Even if "590" were forged into an unparalleled divine weapon, it would still be a powerful artifact far surpassing others of its class.

It goes without saying that the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, compared to the Empire's powerful bronze crossbow, may not have the power to pierce the human body or the attack range of up to a hundred feet. The Zhuge Repeating Crossbow only has a shooting range of ten feet.

But its terrifying feature is that it can fire twelve arrows in succession.

After obtaining the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, the Mohists refined it further and developed an even more advanced version.

Also included was a stack of blueprints for mechanical beasts, and the four great mechanical beasts of the Mohist school—

The original blueprints for the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger.

This was something even the Mohists probably didn't expect; Zhang Xiaoshan was able to find these things hidden in the forbidden area.

You should know that Gongshu Chou had already searched the entire place before, but he hadn't found these.

Because these were not on the blueprints of the Mo Family's Mechanical City at all; they were all placed there by successive leaders of the Mo Family, either as opportunities for Mo Family disciples or as extremely secret treasure troves of the Mo Family.

After all, the Trial Grounds were also the place where the leaders of the Mohist school had secluded themselves throughout history.

However, the Mohist tradition has not been broken, and Zhang Xiaoshan does not want to offend the Mohist school to the point of death.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan believed that these things were of little use at all.

The Mo family's mechanical beasts may seem powerful, but they are designed for ordinary people.

Just like the agile movements of a martial arts master, the clumsy actions of the mechanical beast are completely useless, and it is also the tool that exposes itself (the control room) to the enemy.

Its only use is that it can be used as a reference.

For example, the Zhang family's submarines can be modeled after Xuanwu (Black Tortoise), and their armored chariots can be modeled after Baihu (White Tiger).

As for the mechanical beast, Vermilion Bird?

In Zhang Xiaoshan's opinion, it was not as fast as the Zhang family's glider, and the Vermilion Bird itself did not fly, but glided in the air by means of air convection.

Compared to the enormous costs incurred by the Mohists, any glider or paraglider from the Zhang family is more agile than the Vermilion Bird Mechanism, and costs less than a hundred gold coins!

Moreover, the bulk of the profits comes from those rare materials, since rare materials comparable to carbon fiber were hard to find in ancient times.

The Armored Divine Skill was created by Cao Cao, the great military strategist.

It is a military art that has reached the level of divine skill through physical training, and it is still passed down in the world today. Therefore, the domineering nature of this armored physical training is conceivable.

The Armored Divine Skill has no weaknesses in its physical training; once mastered, its defense is comparable to the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

However, this is external martial arts training, and for Zhang Xiaoshan, the achievements are limited. Even at its peak, it is only comparable to the seventh level of the Nine Cauldrons Divine Art.

Moreover, although it seems to have no weaknesses, its potential is actually there.

But for the experts of the Zhang family, this is a top-tier divine skill, especially for those in the Zhang family who are masters of external martial arts.

The Nine Cauldrons Divine Skill cannot be passed down, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill cannot be passed down except to Buddhist disciples, and the Armored Divine Skill is the only suitable choice.

Besides these treasures that Zhang Xiaoshan valued, the Mo family also had some other notable collections:

Like a demonic sword of unparalleled divine weapon, its origins are unknown, but even after being suppressed for hundreds of years, it still retains a terrifying killing intent.

However, it is far inferior to the Human Slaughter Sword, but it would still require 30,000 merits to upgrade.

At its peak, it could probably reach the level of 50,000 merits.

The mechanical arms of the Gongshu family are a distinctive symbol of the family.

Because every Gongshu Master who succeeded as the head of the Gongshu clan had a mechanical arm, and this arm was taken by the Mo family from a previous head of the Gongshu clan, or obtained by killing a previous head of the Gongshu clan.

The hidden weapon of the Tang Clan in Sichuan—Rain of Pear Blossom Nails!

Belonging to the Tang Clan's exquisitely crafted king of hidden weapons, although the actual item has completely decayed over time, Zhang Xiaoshan discovered the research results of the Mohist school on the side.

It can be said that a master of the Mohist school has completely cracked the secret of the Tang Clan's hidden weapons, but due to sectarian differences, he dares not reveal it to the Mohist school.

At that time, the Mohists will face the Tang Clan's furious retaliation.

It should be noted that the Tang Clan is not only skilled in using hidden weapons, but their most ruthless method is poison.

Moreover, the combined power of the two is something that the Tang Clan is a taboo for most martial arts masters, and even the Mo Clan has to be wary of them.

···

"Son!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan emerge, Zhang Sheng and the others gathered again.

They were surprised to see Zhang Xiaoshan's haul, not expecting that even after searching the Mo Clan's trial grounds, they would still have so many finds.

Leaving aside the extraterrestrial meteorite iron that shares the same origin as the divine sword, just considering the military arts—the Armored Divine Skill, the Mechanical Beast blueprints, and the Rain of Pear Blossom Nails—it can be said that he inherited the legacy of three families at once.

"Alright, this matter must not be spread."
