The Weapon Repository, inside the side hall...
"What's going on?"
Long Chengyu was carefully examining his surroundings.
This side hall was different from the main hall. An immensely powerful formation covered almost the entire space, its radiance dazzling and brilliant beyond measure.
At present, inside the side hall, aside from himself and Long Muxi, only six divine weapons could be seen clearly — everywhere else was engulfed by the overwhelming power of the formation.
But just moments ago, those six divine weapons had begun trembling violently, as if responding to some kind of call.
At the same time, the formation power throughout the entire side hall had grown stronger — not just by a little, but several times over.
Although the six divine weapons quickly stabilized, the fact that the formation power had intensified several times over made Long Chengyu realize that something must have happened.
"Focus on communicating with the divine weapons. Don't miss this opportunity."
Suddenly, a voice of reminder rang out — it was Long Muxi.
Long Muxi had originally been communicating with one of the divine weapons, but now she turned her gaze toward Long Chengyu.
Long Chengyu had always wanted to mend his relationship with Long Muxi.
But she had remained rather cold toward him, as though it would be difficult to restore what they once had.
Yet this reminder from Long Muxi made him realize that although his sister still appeared cold on the surface, she actually still cared about him.
"Alright." With that, Long Chengyu smiled and agreed, then ceased thinking about whatever was happening outside.
Because at this moment, bolstered by the formation's power, two divine weapons had already begun responding to him and Long Muxi respectively, actively attempting to communicate with them.
As long as the communication went well, the two siblings each stood an excellent chance of gaining a divine weapon's recognition.
For them, that would be an enormous boost in power.
...
Meanwhile, outside the Weapon Repository, Lord Long Xu, Long Suqing, Long Kuitian, and countless experts all arrived at the scene.
It turned out that the entire world had begun to tremble.
And these experts had sensed that the tremendous power causing the tremors across the whole world originated from the Weapon Repository.
As if anticipating that Lord Long Xu and the others would come, several Totem Dragon Clan powerhouses were already waiting outside the Weapon Repository.
Leading them was the very elder who had previously reported to Lord Long Xu regarding the matter of Chu Feng.
And the many experts behind him were all dressed in the same distinctive attire as he was.
"Reporting to Lord Long Xu — it is the Silver Dragon Spear that has awakened," the leading elder said.
"Who did this?" Lord Long Xu asked via secret voice transmission.
The elder immediately understood and replied in the same manner: "It was Chu Feng."
"Not only has the Silver Dragon Spear awakened — every divine weapon in the main hall has responded to Chu Feng and is attempting to communicate with him."
"What?" Upon hearing those words, Lord Long Xu's expression changed dramatically.
"The Silver Dragon Spear — it also wishes to serve Chu Feng?" Lord Long Xu asked.
"That is most likely the case," the elder said.
"Stop him at all costs," Lord Long Xu ordered.
"Lord Long Xu — at all costs?" the elder confirmed.
"Did I stutter? Would you have the Silver Dragon Spear fall into the hands of an outsider?" Lord Long Xu said, his voice sharp with fury.
"Understood. I will see to it immediately." The elder promptly turned around and departed with his specially attired subordinates.
"Lord Long Xu, what exactly is going on?"
At that moment, numerous Totem Dragon Clan powerhouses spoke up in inquiry, since the exchange between Lord Long Xu and the elder had been conducted via secret voice transmission.
They had no idea what had transpired.
But Lord Long Xu did not answer them. Instead, he addressed the crowd with a grave expression:
"Without my orders, no one is permitted to enter the Weapon Repository."
Having said that, he soared into the air and shot into the main hall of the Weapon Repository.
At the same time, he deployed measures to seal off the main hall's entrance.
Seeing this, Long Suqing's brow furrowed deeply as she sensed that things were far more serious than they appeared.
But unlike the others — whose concern was rooted in worry for the Totem Dragon Clan — Long Suqing's worry was directed at someone else entirely.
Inside the main hall of the Weapon Repository, every person present was now staring toward the deepest reaches of the hall.
The Silver Dragon Spear was not only pulsing with brilliant light — it had risen into the air. Its presence was that of a king descending upon the world.
The aura of every other divine weapon had been completely suppressed beneath it.
This was something they had never witnessed in all their lives.
ROOOAR—
Suddenly, the shaft of the Silver Dragon Spear shuddered, and a sound like the clashing of steel merged with the deep roar of a colossal dragon echoed from within.
Immediately after, a formidable aura flooded the entire hall.
A pressure — an unparalleled, peerless pressure.
Under that pressure, every divine weapon withdrew the hostility it had directed at Chu Feng, and one by one fell from midair, returning to their respective positions.
Even after settling back into their places, the divine weapons continued to tremble — but this time, they were not displaying their might. They were trembling from fear.
Fear of what?
The Silver Dragon Spear, of course.
It was not that those divine weapons had given up their chance to communicate with Chu Feng — the Silver Dragon Spear simply refused to give them that chance.
