Everyone naturally also noticed Chen Yun's action of raising the red plume spear, emitting a golden glow.
Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming and Lóng Nǚ Sanjian and others did not take it seriously at first, casually glancing at the small mountain peak where the golden radiance was emitted.
However, just that one glance, these people were immediately startled!
Wu Kejiu opened his eyes wide, involuntarily inhaling some air and said, "This..."
Qin Ming couldn't believe it and rubbed his eyes, "This penetration power, how could it be so strong?"
Long Nu Sanjiu was even more shocked, "With such terrifying penetration power, if it struck a person, wouldn't even the strongest defense be unable to withstand the piercing attack?"
"Hiss, the penetration power is too strong!"
"Earlier, I still thought this red plume spear was nothing special, who would have thought that the power was so terrifying!"
"It penetrated the stone wall of a few hundred meters of the mountain peak in one go? That's because the mountain wall is only a few hundred meters thick. I saw the golden radiance still retaining its strength and rushing towards the distance, so the penetration power is extremely strong!"
A group of people immediately burst into chaos.
Before, everyone still couldn't figure out why Chen Yun didn't look at those law weapons that seemed powerful enough and preferred to first ponder the red plume spear.
Now, after witnessing the power of the red plume spear, everyone finally understood what was going on.
Chen Yun was also very satisfied with the function of the red plume spear.
To be honest, after practicing to this day for nearly four or five years, I've seen a lot of treasures.
He really hasn't encountered anything like the red plume spear, which can help a person balance and concentrate their power into a single point.
This red plume spear is very valuable!
At least for myself who hasn't mastered the control of my power to the ultimate level yet, this red plume spear, perhaps, is worth more than a treasure.
Yes, in Chen Yun's mind, even treasured artifacts might not compare to the red plume spear.
Why?
Treasures can enhance one's combat power at most, but they won't help in improving one's realm.
The red plume spear is different.
As long as one practices various martial arts with it all the time, the control of one's power will be quietly improved.
Such a treasure that can help improve power control is not very common in the whole world.
Naturally, in Chen Yun's eyes, the red plume spear is even better than treasured artifacts.
He roughly understands why the opponent seemed to gather his power into a point in each of their martial arts matches just now.
In addition, the opponent could easily walk on a flat land in the midst of Chen Yun's bombardment with golden characters as if arrows were raining down, which is probably due to his extremely strong power control.
It's hard to say, this red plume spear really gave people a big surprise!
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Gao Chen suddenly thought of something, "This red plume spear has such strong penetration power, yet Lu Cheng couldn't break through your defense with his consecutive thrusts. Could it be that your physical body is as strong as a realm cultivator's?"
Others also looked at him with surprised expressions.
Yes.
This penetration power can instantly pierce through several hundred meters of mountain wall, which seems to be beyond the ordinary cultivator's ability to withstand. Unless one reaches the realm of a true cultivator who is indestructible by weapons.
Chen Yun shook his head and said, "My physical body is definitely not as strong as a true cultivator."
Ding Xu was somewhat confused, "How did you withstand the penetration power of this red plume spear?"
Chen Yun smiled and explained, "Pursuing the ultimate penetration power often comes at the cost of sacrificing other aspects, such as powerful explosive force. I have practiced a very powerful body training method, which originates from Xie Ziran, a true cultivator. This body training method fills my body with a kind of extremely strong defensive 'Qi,' which is impervious to ordinary piercing attacks."
Unless the hard strike fills my entire body with Qi and shatters the defense covering my body, it's impossible to break through my defense.
He didn't tell everyone this, as it was his own weakness.
Additionally, there is another way to break through his defense.
That is the ultimate tremor, shaking the force deeply into his internal organs, causing damage to his five organs and six viscera.
Of course, Chen Yun's explanation now looked detailed, but in fact, he had not imparted some "physical level" knowledge to everyone.
This "physical level" knowledge is that pursuing excessive sharpness often results in only that point being particularly sharp. Once that point is broken through, the sharpness no longer exists.
This point, Chen Yun had already understood during his match with Yuan Chu, who practiced the Heavenly Duality Sword Art.
It's not that he didn't want to impart this knowledge to everyone.
It's just that the explanation is somewhat complicated, and Chen Yun was lazy to waste his words.
After understanding the function of the red plume spear, everyone nodded in agreement.
Chen Yun decided to see what the other artifacts had in store.
The metal seal and the black banner have basically clear functions; it's just a matter of how strong their power is. These can be explored temporarily.
Chen Yun decided to focus on understanding the specific effects of the two other unexplained artifacts first.
He put the red plume spear away in the space created by Hutian Art, then picked up the sword from the ground.
Wu Kejiu leaned over to take a look, "This sword seems not to be made of various kinds of sacred wood, which is quite rare in the cultivation world."
Qin Ming nodded and said, "Typical swords are magic weapons used to perform various magic spells, so they are usually made of precious spiritual wood, which can greatly increase their power. This sword is all-encompassing with cold light, looking more like metal, indeed a rare find in the cultivation world."
Zhang Ling was curious and asked, "Mr. Chen, what's the purpose of this sword made of metal?"
"I'll give it a try."
Chen Yun nodded, using the Purple Star Secret Art to remove the divine power within the sword while focusing his true qi into it, attempting to see if he could control it.
In general, each different sect has its own special method for consecrating magic weapons.
Therefore, even if it is seized by others, it is difficult to make use of it.
However, this is not always the case. For example, some cultivators who do not have their own special method for consecrating magic weapons can only use general consecration techniques. Therefore, when someone steals their magic weapon, it often loses its connection within a short period of time.
Chen Yun was unsure whether Lu Cheng had a special consecration method, so he had to try it out to find out.
Fortunately, the true qi collected by the Purple Star Secret Art was smoothly integrated into the sword.
Chen Yun estimated that Lu Cheng had probably obtained the inheritance of a powerful cultivator by accident but it was incomplete, so he wouldn't have the special method for consecrating magic weapons, which allowed Chen Yun to take advantage.
A sense of connection was transmitted from the magic sword.
After carefully feeling it, he found that this magic sword seems to be different from the Blood-Red Gold-Cutting Demon Sword and Peach Wood Sword. It's not of the traditional amplification type.
It seems to contain a kind of peculiar "Qi" within it. Once released, it can create a special effect.
Chen Yun controlled the release of the Qi from the magic sword as best as he could.
In the next second, black streams of Qi filled the sword.
Just as the Qi began to rise, Wu Kejiu's face turned pale, and he shouted in terror, "Mr. Chen, don't, don't release the Qi from the magic sword!"
Chen Yun immediately stopped his actions and pulled the Qi back into the sword. He turned his head to look at Wu Kejiu and asked, "Master Wu, what's the matter?"
The others looked on in confusion as well.
Wu Kejiu, upon seeing the black Qi retract back into the sword, relaxed visibly.
He explained carefully, "If I'm not mistaken, the black Qi that filled the sword just now should be the source of a plague."
"The source of a plague?"
Master Wu, what do you mean by that?"
Qin Ming and Long Nu Sanjiu, among others, asked in some confusion.
Chen Yun looked at Wu Kejiu's face in confusion.
Wu Kejiu said, "Have you heard of the Five Plague Deities?"
Qin Ming laughed and said, "Who doesn't know the Five Plague Deities? It's said they are divine beings who govern plagues. They are Zhang Yuanbo, Liu Yuanda, Zhao Gongming, Zhong Shiyi, and Shi Wenye, the master of the Central Plague. What are you implying, Master Wu? Are you testing our knowledge?"
Chen Yun also knew this, since he had known Zhao Gongming. He naturally knew a bit more about it.
In the myths and legends, Zhao Gongming actually had many titles. For example, he was known as the plague god, the god of wealth, and Zhao Commander-in-Chief.
"Not at all," Wu Kejiu shook his head, "The Five Plague Deities were very powerful cultivators or evil spirits before they ascended to become immortals and gods. They are skilled in using various plague-type magic spells and can also instantly eliminate plagues. Therefore, they were worshiped by the common people. And the Qi that filled the sword just now, I seem to have seen it in a scripture before, a bit like the plague technique released by Spring Plague Zhuang Yuanbo. If it spreads out, in a certain area, there will be an outbreak of plague and disease immediately. Without a specific antidote, even we cultivators may fall prey to it, leading to suffering worse than death."
At this point, he paused for a moment and then continued, "This is also one of the main reasons why the plague master Lu Cheng is so famous. Because when you fight against him, you often haven't even officially attacked him when you are already poisoned by his plague poison, losing your ability to fight. Moreover, he has his mount Fei who helps him in his tyranny. Even if ordinary cultivators gather in large numbers, unless they can kill him instantly, they have no way to deal with him. They might also get poisoned by Lu Cheng and be quickly killed off."
Xu Yang was perplexed and asked, "Since this magic sword is so terrifying, why didn't Lu Cheng use it when he fought against Mr. Chen?"
Wu Kejiu looked at him with a speechless expression, "Are you an idiot? Mr. Chen is immune to the poison gas released by Fei. Do you think that the plague toxin released by this magic sword can do anything to him?"
Xu Yang then suddenly realized, "Oh, that makes sense. Since Mr. Chen is immune to poison gas, even if it were me, I wouldn't waste Qi to control the sword."
The others also felt this way, thinking that the sword couldn't harm Chen Yun.
Actually, it's not necessarily the case.
Chen Yun knows what he's dealing with.
Actually, he wasn't poisoned. It was just that the true qi of Chen Yun dissolved the poison gas at a much faster rate, making it seem like he wasn't poisoned at all.
If Lu Cheng had used this sword during our battle, it might have really taken effect.
After all, it is true that my true qi can dissolve the poison gas of Fei, but who knows if it can dissolve the plague toxin from the sword?
He estimated that Lu Cheng and Wu Kejiu had the same thought, thinking that he was immune to Fei's poison gas, so he assumed that he would also be immune to the plague toxin from the sword and did not use it.
To say that I was able to beat Lu Cheng is because I got lucky.
Currently, the functions of the red plume spear, the metal seal, the black banner, and the magic sword are basically known.
So far, the function of the bronze bell remains unknown.
Chen Yun casually put away the sword, preparing to see what special function the bronze bell has.
The previous magical artifacts and weapons all looked quite impressive, so the bronze bell should be no different.
He really wonders if the bronze bell will bring him a surprise, and hopes that it will.
