"So that's how it is? Then that means the Asura Ghost Axe in my hands is the true divine weapon?" Hearing these words, Chu Feng was ecstatic.
"Of course. Try controlling it—it will move along with you." Egg said with a grin. She was happy for Chu Feng that he'd obtained such a divine weapon.
*Whoosh* — Without hesitation, Chu Feng clenched his fist. Brilliant light burst forth from his hand, and the Asura Ghost Axe transformed into its previous colossal form, once again gripped in Chu Feng's hand.
Immediately after, with another movement of his will, the Asura Ghost Axe flashed once more and vanished, returning to the palm of his hand.
Having witnessed Chu Feng's effortless control over the Asura Ghost Axe with their own eyes, the expressions of everyone present shifted, each carrying indescribable emotions.
At that moment, Zi Ling took two steps forward and addressed the crowd: "Given your experience, you must all know about divine weapons that recognize their masters. Such weapons are completely unusable by ordinary people—even if someone can hold it, it's no different from scrap metal, unable to unleash even a shred of power."
"Only the one it acknowledges can bring forth its power. Now, this divine weapon has already recognized Chu Feng as its master, which means it is not without an owner—it belongs to Chu Feng. It chose him of its own accord. Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
"This..." At this moment, everyone fell silent, for they had no way to argue further. After all, just as Zi Ling had said, this divine weapon was no longer without a master.
"I never thought that a divine weapon truly recognizing its master was real." The vice president of the Spirit World Master Guild, Gao Qizhi, wore an expression full of admiration. Though envy was clearly written on his face, there was no trace of greed.
"The owner of these ruins was remarkable. Besides this divine weapon, there may well be other treasures," Zi Ling interjected.
"Oh right, miss—young friend Chu Feng, the two of you didn't seem to come in through the front, did you?" Vice President Gao asked curiously.
"That's right. Besides this hall, there was also a hidden passage. The passage was filled with deadly traps, and Chu Feng and I fought our way through them all. Unfortunately, we found nothing and ended up here." Zi Ling shook her head.
"Really? Where is that passage?" Hearing this, the faces of Jie Yan and the other members of the Jie clan changed as their minds began to stir.
They were all Spirit World Masters, and Jie Yan's spirit techniques were especially powerful. Just because Zi Ling and Chu Feng had found nothing didn't mean they would find nothing if they entered.
Zi Ling then told Jie Yan about the passage, and all the powerful cultivators from the Spirit World Master Guild and the Jie clan went inside to investigate.
With the divine weapon having recognized its master, no one gave Chu Feng any more trouble. Chu Feng, in a leisurely mood, began to wander around. He had a clear purpose—what he sought was the original goal of this expedition: a treasure that could temper his Mental Power.
Chu Feng had previously asked Vice President Gao whether they had discovered any special treasures on their way here, and the vice president's answer had been very clear: they had found nothing along the way.
That was also why, upon entering the final hall and discovering the vast treasure beneath the stone platform, they had been so excited—only to end up all trapped inside together.
Now that he knew everything, Chu Feng believed the treasure he wanted was still somewhere in this palace, so he began searching diligently.
But the more he searched, the more uneasy Chu Feng became. He had thoroughly combed through the enormous underground palace several times, yet still found nothing. Just as Vice President Gao had said, there was nothing here besides this divine weapon.
"Damn it—where is the treasure that can specially enhance Mental Power?" At this moment, Chu Feng's brow was tightly furrowed, a sense of panic rising in his heart. If he couldn't find that treasure, his Mental Power wouldn't grow quickly enough—and then what would he use to save Su Rou and Su Mei?
"Don't worry. Perhaps you've already obtained the treasure that demon beast spoke of." Egg suddenly spoke up.
