Chapter 1137: Chapter 758: Ancestor Artifact
Sheyin City is very large, unlike the cities in the Edge Corner Airspace that rely on a network of crisscrossing street scaffoldings in the air to maximize the limited breath soil space. This city is like the flatland city that Xiang Beifei understands.
It’s similar to the City of No Pretense, but much larger; its area is enormous, at least over a hundred square kilometers, quietly floating in the void, solemn and grand.
This is also the largest city Xiang Beifei has seen since arriving in the Edge Corner Airspace!
In the Great Desolate Realm, a hundred square kilometers of land is nothing, but in the precious land of the Edge Corner Airspace, it’s quite different; constructing such a city requires a significant amount of breath soil.
In comparison, it’s like building such a mega city with a huge amount of real gold and silver!
But this is one of the three main cities of the Dao Palace, and they inherently control breath soil resources, so there is no surprise at its scale.
When Xiang Beifei first saw this city, he considered not the amount of breath soil used, but the formation of this city.
The formation contained within Sheyin City is very special, imbued with a dense and solid aura, like a tortoise shell cast over it.
To Xiang Beifei’s surprise, he could not perceive the so-called breath soil aura!
Instead, he sensed an ancient aura, old and remote, this aura upon delicate perception seemed oppressive, even making him wary!
He searched for the source of this aura, gazing down from a height, and soon saw a sharp spear standing there, this spear was thousands of meters long, entirely brown, located at the very center of Sheyin City, extremely obvious.
This towering spear seemed to pierce through Sheyin City, with a part protruding above the city and a symmetric part below.
The strangest thing was, this city floating in the void was not static, it was rotating slowly, and along the section of the spear at the city’s center.
If one had to describe it, Xiang Beifei felt the city was more like a giant spinning top, with the spear penetrating the city, driven by a mysterious and unpredictable force acting on the spear, causing the entire city to spin.
This spear emitted a very familiar aura, Xiang Beifei felt he had seen a similar existence before.
"What is this thing?" Xiang Beifei asked, puzzled.
"What is it?" Li Qianluo asked.
"That spear," Xiang Beifei replied.
Li Qianluo stroked her chin, her gaze also shifting to the iconic structure at the city’s center, enlighteningly said: "Oh, you’re talking about the Dao Palace’s ancestral artifact."
"What is an ancestral artifact?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"You don’t know about ancestral artifacts?" Li Qianluo was quite puzzled.
"I’ve never heard of it."
"You yourself have ancestral artifacts, and yet you claim not to know about ancestral artifacts?" Li Qianluo was shocked.
Xiang Beifei was also slightly stunned: "What ancestral artifact do I have?"
"Wufeng! That broken sword! It’s left to you by Grandpa Xiang, Wufeng is an ancestral artifact!" Li Qianluo explained.
This left Xiang Beifei astonished.
Wufeng is an ancestral artifact?
No wonder he felt the aura of the spear at Sheyin City’s center was somewhat familiar.
A ray of clear light flickered in his hand, and he drew Wufeng’s broken sword from the void, appearing in his palm.
"You say this is an ancestral artifact? What does it represent?" Xiang Beifei was unclear.
Li Qianluo covered her forehead with one hand: "Absolutely defeated by you. You hold an ancestral artifact, yet claim not to recognize it, didn’t Grandpa Xiang tell you about its origin before giving you it?"
"No, Grandpa used it as a kitchen knife, cooking meals for me every day." Xiang Beifei said.
"Using an ancestral artifact as a kitchen knife!"
And for cooking!
How extravagant!
Li Qianluo widened her eyes, thunderstruck to know what to say.
She paused, then helplessly said: "Ugh, I really don’t know how to speak about you, but your situation of ignorance is probably ordinary. Ancestral artifacts are very powerful existences, their origins trace back to the establishment period of the ancient Heavenly Dao order."
"Every one of us practices the Heavenly Dao, but legend has it that during the chaotic dawn of the world, various Heavenly Dao intertwined, incredibly chaotic. The Three Thousand Great Dao, each terrifying. Without order, the terrifying chaos unleashed by these Heavenly Dao would make any form of life impossible to sustain.
Thus, in the remote past, a special divine object was born, whose origin no one knew, but its existence was to establish order among the Heavenly Dao, preventing them from causing chaos.
This divine object is called the Dao implement!
With powerful means, the Dao implement suppressed all Heavenly Dao, restoring them to a state of orderliness. After fulfilling its mission, the Dao implement fragmented into many fragments, scattered in the world, suppressing each Heavenly Dao. Only masters at the Ancestral Dao Realm, capable of fully controlling one Heavenly Dao, qualify to exert them, hence they are also called ancestral artifacts!"
Li Qianluo looked at the broken sword in Xiang Beifei’s hand, saying: "Your Wufeng is an ancestral artifact."
"Ancestral Dao Realm masters can exert it?"
Xiang Beifei waved the Wufeng in his hand, and Wufeng emitted a clear resounding hum.
"Yes, if not an Ancestral Dao Realm master, even holding an ancestral artifact is just a heap of worthless metal, apart from being somewhat hard, it’s of no use. I ask you, did Grandpa Xiang tell you anything special about Wufeng?"
Xiang Beifei thought for a moment.
He truly learned to use Wufeng during the time with the Skeleton Race of Si Hou, back then, his grandfather was called Fire Ancestor by the skeletons. At that time, his grandfather told him some things about Wufeng.
