Old Master Jin once named a fictional event of an era after two divine weapons in his novels, namely the Heaven-Reliant and Dragon-Slaying Chronicle.
These two divine weapons are the Heaven Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber. Both are renowned as the supreme weapons of the martial arts world, with the Dragon-Slaying Dragon-Slaying commanding the world and none daring to disobey. Without the Heaven-Reliant Sword, who can contend with it?
Of course, this statement mainly refers to the martial arts and the Book of Wumu hidden within the two divine weapons.
However, to be honest, these two divine weapons are quite powerful. Legend has it that they were forged from Profound Iron Heavy Sword, and it seems that this is indeed the case now.
It's just a mystery why these two divine weapons ended up in the Da Ming's secret vault.
"You'd better not choose these two swords; it's very taboo!"
Cao Haisheng, who had been silent until now, saw Wang Hao staring intently at the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven Sword, and realized that the other party had taken a liking to these two swords. His snow-white brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but speak up to remind him.
These two divine weapons are indeed excellent, but their names are far too taboo.
One Dragon-Slaying, the other is the Heaven Heaven-Reliant. If it were just ordinary martial arts practitioners using them, that would be one thing. But Wang Hao, seriously speaking, is also a member of their Eastern Depot.
What does it mean for someone who is the emperor's subordinate to use such an arrogant weapon?
If the emperor were to become displeased one day, it wouldn't be impossible for him to execute Wang Hao on the spot.
Therefore, it's best not to use these two swords; after all, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger!
"The taboo is only the names on them. What if I were to melt them down and reforge them into a greatsword?"
Wang Hao smiled confidently, clearly Sword Force.
He understood Cao Haisheng's concerns, but he didn't actually intend to use the two swords directly; he only considered them as materials for forging.
Even if the name on it is taboo, just melt it down and recast it.
"You want to reforge a divine weapon?"
Cao Haisheng and Zhu Yijun were taken aback when they heard this, not expecting that Wang Hao would have such an idea.
"The swords here are indeed fine, but they are all too light. I can only forge a new greatsword that suits me so that I can unleash my full power."
With a helpless shrug, Wang Hao was also quite helpless in this regard.
Swords are weapons that are known for their lightness and agility; there are very few heavy designs.
He currently possesses a strength of 50,000 jin, and if he completes his current stage of cultivation to perfection, he will gain a strength of 100,000 jin.
With such incredible strength, it's pointless for a weapon to weigh less than 10,000 jin (approximately 5,000 kg).
"That would be feasible!"
After considering it for a moment, Zhu Yijun nodded in agreement with Wang Hao's idea.
"Your Highness, you don't mind if I take those two large iron hammers as well, do you?"
Wang Hao suddenly pointed to a corner of the secret vault, where a pair of rather exaggeratedly shaped Dachui were placed. The handle of one of the Dachui was missing, and the broken edge appeared to have been melted down by something.
"This hammer is forged from stubborn iron. The left hammer weighs 4,600 jin and the right hammer weighs 5,200 jin. Legend has it that it belonged to Li Xuanba, the greatest martial arts master in the world during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It later passed through the hands of many people, but no one could wield it. Its nature is hard and brittle. In the 103rd year of the Da Ming Dynasty, a craftsman melted its handle and forged it into a long knife, but it was extremely brittle and broke after three days of use."
The eunuch in charge of the secret treasury, who was following behind, flipped through the record book in his hand and quickly came to the record of this pair of Dachui, explaining the origin of the Dachui and their characteristics.
Such large pieces of stubborn iron would naturally be excellent forging materials, but the material of these two stubborn iron Dachui is too special to be suitable for forging into swords, so they have been abandoned to this day.
"If no one can use it, it's just a piece of scrap metal. But now that it can contribute to forging a divine sword for Warrior Wang, it can be considered a way to make use of waste."
Zhu Yijun glanced at the pair of large iron hammers and made up his mind, agreeing to Wang Hao's suggestion to take them with him.
To be honest, the items Wang Hao selected for the secret vault this time were all of very ordinary value. The Heaven Sword was broken, and its name was taboo, so it was practically useless junk placed here.
The same applies to the Dragon-Slaying Saber. Although taking these two weapons might violate the Emperor's order to take only one weapon, it wouldn't be a big deal.
As for the pair of large iron hammers, since they are of a special nature and have no practical value, they are not a problem at all. Even if the Emperor finds out later, he won't care.
After all, in the end, these three weapons will all be melted down and forged into a single greatsword, which would then be considered a single weapon. From this perspective, it does not violate the Emperor's order to bestow the reward.
"This servant will have it loaded onto a cart and transported out of the palace for you right away!"
The eunuch in charge of managing the secret treasury didn't say much, but simply noted down the Dragon-Slaying Saber Heaven Sword, and the two stubborn iron hammers in the register.
After all, these three weapons were the least valuable in the secret vault, so taking them all wouldn't be a big deal; it would be just as His Highness the Three Sovereigns said, making use of waste.
"No need for that, I'll carry you!"
Wang Hao waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to prepare a vehicle. He then clipped the Heaven Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber- Slaying Saber, along with their scabbards, to his belt. He then walked over and carried the pair of stubborn iron hammers, one tucked into his waistband and the other in his hand.
Although these two heavy iron hammers are heavy, they weigh only a little over nine thousand catties together. With his current strength of fifty thousand catties, he can lift them with ease.
"Wang Zhuangshi possesses divine strength!"
Watching Wang Hao effortlessly lift the pair of heavy iron hammers, Zhu Yijun was dumbfounded and truly realized how terrifying Wang Hao's strength was.
This has far surpassed the limits of Super-First-Rate external martial arts practitioner!
"That's all the brute force I have!"
Wang Hao smiled modestly, but inside he was overjoyed.
Leaving aside the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven Sword, both forged entirely of Profound Iron, this pair of stubborn iron hammers is no ordinary weapon either.
To put it bluntly, this thing is a half-finished piece of Xuan Profound Iron, which was transformed from meteorite iron from outer space into Profound Iron. Unfortunately, it was only half-evolved before it was found and forged into these two heavy hammers.
Although it has only evolved to half its original state, it has already acquired some of the characteristics of Profound Iron.
According to what the eunuch in charge of the secret vault just said, it should possess the density, weight, and hardness of Profound Iron, but it has not developed toughness, which is why it appears so brittle and hard, and can only be used to forge heavy weapons like heavy hammers.
However, this didn't matter to Wang Hao, since the new greatsword he was about to forge was also a super heavy weapon, and whether it had toughness or not was irrelevant.
Furthermore, the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven Sword will be forged into it, which will give it a certain degree of toughness and solve this defect.
After exiting the palace gates, Zhu Yijun called out and left, leaving only Cao Haisheng and Wang Hao behind.
"Xiao Wang, you're a talented individual, and our Eastern Depot needs talents like you!"
Cao Haisheng looked Wang Hao up and down, becoming more and more satisfied and feeling a sense of appreciation for his talent.
Zhu Yijun was hesitant to recruit Wang Hao because he was vying for the position of crown prince and the throne, but Wang Hao did not have such concerns.
After all, he had already reached the top of his position and was the emperor's trusted servant. He had long been opposed to Confucian School, so he didn't need to consider the Confucian School ' opinions.
But these words startled Wang Hao so much that his face turned deathly pale, and he almost dropped the heavy iron hammer in his hand.
"Master, my family lineage is thin, and in this generation, I am the only son!"
With a mournful face, Wang Hao truly dared not be castrated and join the Eastern Depot as a eunuch, while inwardly he was filled with resentment.
Back in the Primordial Great World, he faced the fate of being castrated, which forced him to use his Transmigration Function to come to the Smiling Proud Wanderer World to enhance his strength. Who would have thought that he would encounter this trouble again now?
Could it be that I, Master Hao, have a special connection with eunuchs?
"That's a pity. If you ever change your mind, just come over. The gates of my Eastern Depot are always open for you!"
Cao Haisheng was quite disappointed, but he didn't have much hope anyway, since recruiting people for the Eastern Depot had always been a problem, and basically no one would volunteer to join.
He had also investigated Wang Hao. He didn't know anything about the family's thin bloodline that Wang Hao mentioned, but it was true that there was only one heir left.
He originally had two older brothers and four older sisters, but unfortunately, they all starved to death due to the Drought, leaving him the only one who was taken in by the Blood Robe Tower stronghold.
This is indeed his only son, and in this era where filial impiety is considered the greatest of the three unfilial acts, the greatest being having no offspring, he really couldn't force him.
Now we can only hope that the other party will come to their senses and see through the illusions of the world before joining the Eastern Depot.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I will remember it forever!"
Suppressing the urge to kick him, Wang Hao smiled and bowed, though inwardly he was cursing the old eunuch to death.
Why did you have to choose to make someone a eunuch?
He even said he'd come find you after he figured things out, but I think he came find you because he couldn't figure things out!
After parting ways with Cao Haisheng, Wang Hao walked alone towards the headquarters of the Blood Robe Tower. Along the way, he encountered many menacing stares, who were undoubtedly members of the Confucian School.
He didn't care much about these people. Even though he hadn't forged a suitable sword yet, he still possessed the strength to rival a typical Late Grandmaster Level.
Therefore, unless the opponent sends a master at the Peak Grandmaster, or a genius-level Grandmaster who has comprehended the Martial Dao Intent Realm, it will be extremely difficult to defeat him.
To have Grandmaster -level expert take action in the capital, the territory of the Old Zhu Household, would be a blatant slap in the face to the Old Zhu Household. Even a powerful Confucian School wouldn't do something so foolish.
Therefore, he is absolutely safe within the capital!
Now that so many days have passed, the outside world has learned of his return to Beijing, so there is no longer any need to hide it, and he can walk out openly.
Wang Hao returned to the Blood Robe Tower headquarters without any problems. He put the Dragon-Slaying Dragon-Slaying Saber, the Heaven Sword, and the pair of stubborn iron hammers at his residence, and then went to the Martial Repository Pavilion again.
After all, Elder Chu his biggest backer right now, and there are some things he must discuss with this bigwig.
However, what Wang Hao didn't expect was that upon his return, Elder Chu would bring him a huge surprise.
What a huge surprise!
" The Longevity Dao Art!"
Looking at the secret manual handed over by Elder Chu, Wang Hao was somewhat puzzled.
Although he had never heard of the Longevity Dao Art, judging from Elder Chu's solemn expression, it must be a supreme skill at the level of a Xiantian Grandmaster.
He wasn't surprised by the Innate martial arts techniques, after all, he had acquired several Innate martial arts techniques himself, so he could take it in stride.
However, he also knew Elder Chu's temperament. Since the other party knew his situation, there was no way he would bring over an ordinary Innate martial arts manual. Therefore, this Longevity Dao Art must have something special about it.
But what makes it special?
