Legendary Armament Canon

Chapter 163 A Weapon That Only Those With a Pure Mind Can See

Forging legacies had always been passed down from father to son, master to disciple, and it wouldn’t be passed down to outsiders.

Emperor Xuan was very famous. Countless Forgers had begged the imperial family, but none of them had been able to learn Emperor Xuan’s legacy. How had Zhou Shu managed to learn it?

A hint of jealousy flashed across Shi Songtao’s eyes.

He really couldn’t understand why Zhou Shu could learn the legacy of Emperor Xuan.

He was merely a Forging Apprentice previously.

Why do His Majesty and Her Highness treat him so differently?

Shi Songtao subconsciously raised his head to look at the high platform, just in time to see the princess looking in his direction. Shi Songtao felt a little warm in his heart. Is Her Highness encouraging me? In an instant, Shi Songtao’s spirits rose again. So what if it’s the legacy of Emperor Xuan? Emperor Xuan was good at the Martial Dao back then. His forging skills were just so-so!

My Shi Family’s forging techniques might not be inferior to Emperor Xuan’s forging techniques!

Shi Songtao turned to look at Zhou Shu and said, “No wonder your forging techniques are so impressive, Marquis. So it’s because you’ve obtained His Majesty’s favor and learned the legacy of Emperor Xuan.” Zhou Shu looked at Shi Songtao strangely. What do my forging techniques have to do with Emperor Xuan?

The emperor favors me because I am good, not the other way around.

When he said that his forging technique legacy came from Emperor Xuan, he was just spouting nonsense. Although Yin Wuyou wanted to give him Emperor Xuan’s forging technique legacy, it hadn’t happened yet.

Speaking of which, Zhou Shu had indeed learned forging techniques in this world. They were the forging techniques Liang Hongxiu had given him. However, the Liang family’s forging techniques that Liang Hongxiu had kept were only basic theories. The most important star positioning technique had already been lost.

Thus, he couldn’t be said to be the successor of the Liang family’s forging techniques.

Actually, Zhou Shu’s forging techniques came from the Legendary Armament Canon.

The Legendary Armament Canon used the forging formulas of various weapons to allow him to master everything required for forging techniques. They were nearly perfect forging techniques.

As for the star fixing, Zhou Shu had no need for those useless techniques. He could see it with his eyes!

It was like looking at feng shui. Shi Songtao and the others had to use the geographical trajectory of the mountains and rivers to determine feng shui. As for Zhou Shu, he could see the luck of the land, and he could tell if a place had good feng shui with a single glance.

There was no need to say who was better or worse.

“Brother Shi, it’s about to begin,” Zhou Shu said.

On the high platform, Emperor Yuan Feng and his officials were already in position.

Emperor Yuan Feng made a speech, then raised his hand and said loudly, “Now, let’s invite our Great Xia’s forging elites onto the stage!”

“Understood!” the group of Forging Masters replied.

“Please, Marquis.” Shi Songtao gracefully made an inviting gesture and then leaped up. He somersaulted in the air and landed on the high platform, his movements light and beautiful.

There were many others like him.

To be able to become Forging Masters, even those with the weakest Martial Dao cultivation had already entered the ranks. They didn’t let go of any opportunity to perform. Even when they went on stage, they all used their best lightness techniques.

Just the act of going on stage made Zhou Shu feel like he was watching a show.

In fact, it only took a moment for everyone to ascend the stage.

As Zhou Shu watched in amazement, he was the only one left below the stage.

Emperor Yuan Feng and the other officials all turned to look at Zhou Shu. Sitting next to Emperor Yuan Feng, Yin Wuyou closed her eyes, unable to bear the sight.

Did he forget why he’s here? Why does he look like he’s watching a show?

Zhou Shu felt numerous gazes land on him. He also reacted. He was so engrossed in watching these people display their techniques that he forgot that he had to go on stage.

Zhou Shu awkwardly smiled and raised his foot.

The platform was as tall as a person. It was neither very tall nor very low.

Actually, there were steps on one side, but none of the Forging Masters used the steps.

Zhou Shu glanced at it. If he wanted to take the stairs, he would have to go around the other side. Everyone was waiting for him, so it would be a waste of time to go around.

Thus, he directly raised his foot and stepped onto the high platform.

As he walked, clouds seemed to appear beneath his feet. With every step he took, a cloud would drag his feet.

As such, he walked up the platform step by step and walked to his furnace. He cupped his hands toward Emperor Yuan Feng and the others.

The crowd suddenly fell silent.

Just now, the group of Forging Masters was jumping up and down like monkeys. Compared to Zhou Shu’s otherworldly movement technique, it was like heaven and earth.

Emperor Yuan Feng looked at Eunuch Zhao and asked with his eyes. “What movement technique is this?”.

Eunuch Zhao replied with his eyes, “I don’t know either.”

Yin Wuyou blinked her big bright eyes, and a strange look flashed across her eyes. Does he have to be so dashing?

Zhou Shu really didn’t want to stand out. He just didn’t want to waste everyone’s time. Also, he only knew the Riding on Cloud and Wind Technique. If he wanted to go on stage, he couldn’t possibly jump up, right?

This was the effect of the Riding on Cloud and Wind Technique. What could he do?

Cough cough-Emperor Yuan Feng was the first to react. He cleared his throat and said, “Since everyone is in position, let’s begin.”

There were more than a hundred Forging Masters who had the qualifications to participate in the military parade. Naturally, Emperor Yuan Feng and the others couldn’t inspect them one by one.

Therefore, all the Forging Masters worked on their weapons at the same time. After which, Emperor Yuan Feng and the others would evaluate the weapons they forged.

All the Forging Masters bowed to Emperor Yuan Feng before taking out their weapons and beginning the final step of fixing the stars.

As mentioned earlier, in order to save time, the Forging Masters would prepare the weapons they wanted to display beforehand.

Otherwise, it would be too late to forge weapons on the spot. They couldn’t possibly let Emperor Yuan Feng and the others wait at the side for over ten days or even several months.

Usually, they would leave behind one star position unfixed. When they arrived at the venue, they would fix the last star position in front of everyone. The weapon would then be successfully forged, and its power would be revealed. The other Forging Masters were regulating their breathing and focusing their attention, preparing for the final finishing touches. Although there was only one star position left, this step was extremely important. If they fixed the star correctly, the weapon would be successfully forged.

If they made a mistake, then all their efforts would be wasted!

Once a star was fixed, they wouldn’t be able to reverse it. The weapon would either be forged successfully or fail. There was no room for regret.

U

Therefore, no Forging Masters dared to be distracted.

Except for Zhou Shu…

It was not that Zhou Shu was distracted; he never even concentrated.

He took off the wooden box on his back and placed it in front of him. Then he looked around as though he was watching a show.

It was as if he had nothing to do with the military parade.

“Did he finish forging the weapon in advance?” Emperor Yuan Feng’s brows furrowed slightly.

But after thinking about it, he realized that this wasn’t quite right. The reason why the Forging Masters had left the last star position unfixed was not only to save time and display their forging techniques but also to prove that the weapon had been personally forged by them.

Otherwise, if everyone brought a forged weapon, who would know who forged it?

This was the rule of the military parade, so Zhou Shu shouldn’t be so brazen as to violate

it.

Or was he confident enough not to be anxious?

Zhou Shu watched the actions of the Forging Masters with interest.

He had never seen this world’s Forging Masters forge weapons with his own eyes before. Today, his horizons were broadened.

These Forging Masters really had a variety of ways to fix stars.

Some of the Forging Masters used a small hammer to strike the weapon itself. Then they placed their ears on the weapon and used the sound produced by the weapon to determine the final star position.

Some of the Forging Masters had their eyes tightly shut as they ran their hands over their weapons as if they were fondling their loved ones.

There were also Forging Masters measuring the size of their weapon with a ruler while calculating on paper…

Zhou Shu also saw Shi Songtao. Shi Songtao’s movements were much more elegant than most of the other Forging Masters.

A long sword was placed in front of him. He flicked his fingers and injected streams of spiritual essence into the sword.

As each strand of spiritual essence fell, the sword seemed to turn into a musical instrument. The clanging sounds were like a musical tune that was exceptionally pleasant to the ear.

Many people also revealed expressions of admiration as they saw Shi Songtao’s forging.

As expected of Great Xia’s famed forging genius, his technique was truly extraordinary.

Some people subconsciously looked at Zhou Shu.

This forging genius, whose limelight was not inferior to Shi Songtao, was now like Granny Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden. He was looking around and didn’t carry out his forging at all.

Was he giving up?

Everyone had their doubts.

“Zhou Shu!”

Just as Zhou Shu was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, with a hint of coquettishness.

He looked up blankly and saw Yin Wuyou’s gaze.

“What are you doing!” Yin Wuyou’s voice continued to ring in his ear.

Zhou Shu looked around. No one else seemed to have heard Yin Wuyou’s voice.

Secret voice transmission?

Amazing, my princess.

Zhou Shu gave Yin Wuyou an appreciative look.

Yin Wuyou was speechless. What kind of look is that?

I’m reminding you not to be distracted! Why are you looking at me like that?

Why does it feel like I’ve completed my homework, and my father is looking at me with admiration?

“Everyone else is almost done. Why aren’t you starting yet!” Yin Wuyou said angrily.

Zhou Shu nodded. I will have to learn how to send voice transmissions later. This is impressive. With my current strength, it shouldn’t be difficult to learn it, right?

Zhou Shu’s thoughts were all over the place, but his hand had already landed on the wooden box in front of him.

Pada

Zhou Shu casually opened the wooden box.

Almost subconsciously, Emperor Yuan Feng, Yin Wuyou, Eunuch Zhao, Great General Meng Bai, and others all looked at the wooden box in front of Zhou Shu.

They were all very curious as to what weapon Zhou Shu had forged this time.

The next moment, everyone’s expressions froze.

Even Emperor Yuan Feng was unable to conceal his astonishment.

Because there was nothing in the wooden box!

He was holding an empty wooden box to participate in the military parade?

Emperor Yuan Feng rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn’t seeing things.

Everyone was rubbing their eyes.

Emperor Yuan Feng’s expression changed. What is Zhou Shu’s intention?

“Zhou Shu, did you forget to bring your weapon?” Yin Wuyou’s anxious voice sounded in Zhou Shu’s ears.

Zhou Shu looked up and gave Yin Wuyou a reassuring look.

Yin Wuyou understood the meaning behind his gaze, but the anxiety in her heart didn’t lessen one bit.

Don’t worry?

How can I be at ease?

This is in front of the court officials!

If something goes wrong, how will you be able to survive in the future?

or

The other Forging Masters were completely focused on completing their work. Emperor Yuan Feng and the others didn’t speak, afraid that they would disturb the progress of the Forging Masters.

Their attention was completely on Zhou Shu.

He brought an empty wooden box to participate in the military parade?

Or was this wooden box his weapon?

Everyone wanted to see what Zhou Shu was up to!

Under everyone’s gaze, Zhou Shu began to move.

He reached into the large wooden box and picked up something.

But in everyone’s eyes, he was just putting on an act. There was nothing in his hands.

The next moment, Zhou Shu took out a Heaven Refining Stone the size of a grain of rice and threw it into the True Fire.

Everyone stared with their eyes wide open. Was he putting on a full act?

There was clearly nothing, yet he wanted to waste the Heaven Refining Stone?

Zhou Shu seemed completely unaware of everyone’s doubts.

His movements were casual, and a drop of Heaven Refining Stone flew out from the True Fire. Under Zhou Shu’s control, it landed in the

air.

In everyone’s eyes, Zhou Shu was completely messing around!

There was nothing in his hands. Was he fixing stars in the air?

Also, didn’t he need to locate the stars?

Did he take everyone here as fools?

Anger flashed in the eyes of some of the officials. So the You Marquis is someone who gained reputation by deception!

To let such a scoundrel rank high in the Imperial Court is simply the humiliation of Great Xia!

After this military parade, we must impeach him!

Just as some officials had such thoughts, the Heaven Refining Stone had already been transferred into the air.

Suddenly, like a drop of water meeting a sponge, it disappeared into the air.

It felt as if it had truly fused with a weapon.

Could he really fix stars in the air?

Everyone’s eyes widened.

The next moment, it was as if everyone saw star paths emitting light appear out of thin air in front of them. The light circulated, and the star paths disappeared in a flash.

There was still nothing in front of them.

“This is?”

Everyone’s pupils constricted. At this moment, everyone knew that Zhou Shu wasn’t messing around. He really did have a sword in his hand, but they just couldn’t see it!

Marquis Zhou forged an invisible sword?

Or was it because they had problems themselves that they couldn’t see the sword in Marquis Zhou’s hand?

These big shots who could cause an earthquake in Great Xia with just a stomp of their feet all fell into self-doubt.

According to the legends, only pure-minded people could see divine weapons. Could it be that the weapon forged by Marquis Zhou had such an effect?

Is it because our minds are impure that we can’t see the weapon in Marquis Zhou’s hand?

I can’t let anyone know about this! I can see it!

More than one minister thought this to himself.
