Peerless Dead Hero's Inheritance (1)

"This is nerve wrecking..."

To avoid conflicts only one disciple at a time was allowed to enter the Temple of Reverent Armaments Pagoda and Gong Xiaoling went ahead first

As she entered the centre hollow part inside Pagoda, her energy resonated with uncountable weapons placed in various corners of Pagoda and after a few seconds suddenly a black Guzheng with silvery strings appeared in front of her

(Guzheng_ Chinese music instrument that looks like xylophone + guitar mixture, reference in comments)

'Sacred Serenity Guzheng...'

The name of treasure already popped out in head of Gong Xiaoling as soon as she saw that and without any hesitation she took the Guzheng in her hands and left the Pagoda

"Congratulations Disciple Gong Xiaoling, I think even your master will be satisfied with that one"

"Hahaha! That is indeed some good treasure"

"Indeed!"

"It can cast illusions, pressurise others and even manipulate a few natural elements"

"Thank you for your kind words!"

Gong Xiaoling bowed to Grand Elders and other disciples who congratulated her with bright smile and returned besides other disciples

But of course not everyone was lucky as her cause Yuan Zhu and Qin Liwei after her couldn't get anything simply because of current attributes

"Hahaha... Well I pursue Martial Dao so weapon aren't much of use to me anyways..."

"But still hurts... It reminds of all rejections I went through from girls in my life..."

As both returned one by one it felt like someone has sucked in souls, knowing and then getting rejected indeed hits different

After that was the turn of Hao Meng who was still lost in low mentality, after getting crushed again and again he has given up on having any hopes

"I don't have much expectations..."

"Well, the weapons choose the user based on destiny and compatibility with user"

"Indeed although Brother Hao Meng is just average strong among Core Disciples, he is still a good Array Sword Cultivator"

"Well we will see..."

All disciples were watching the Pagoda with anticipation, Mu Chen was also interested because one way or another Hao Meng was set to be Mu Chen's slave in future

While inside the Pagoda, Hao Meng looked upwards towards various levels of Pagoda with blank eyes with no expectations

'What weapon will choose me anyways... I'm already lost in eyes of everyone else, the rumours about how everyone manipulated me like some toddler will spread throughout the Immortal World

I already have no courage to live now... Dream of becoming a Heir of Holyland, that's not possible in thousand lifetimes not until that monster is here... I can't ever...'

*Vamm!*

Hao Meng was just feeling shivers but just then suddenly a sword covered in omnious dark blue aura suddenly appeared in front of him, destiny was playing it's game as two words appeared in his mind

'Dread Slayer...'

Hao Meng just grabbed the sword without any rise or fall in his emotions, just a little surprised and left the Pagoda

'Ho~ so you really are a dead bastard huh...'

Mu Chen grinned as soon as he saw that sword in Hao Meng's hand, other Grand Elders also seem to be nodding with little smiles

"Well although that sword looks omnious, it is quite good"

"Indeed, it feels to be related with illusions"

"The edge is sharp!"

"Mhm"

And now lastly it was Mu Chen's turn, Mu Chen smiled and after a little gesture Mu Chen immediately made his way inside Pagoda and with absolute confidence Mu Chen arrived at centre of Pagoda and just one notification rang

[Your 'Infinite Sword Heart' is resonating]

"W-what is going on!?"

"Are there any problem inside the Pagoda!?"

"Holy fuck! The whole ground is trembling!!!"

"What with this cold presence inside of Temple of Reverent Armaments!!"

The effects could be felt even from the people standing outside, all Grand Elders and Disciples were completely shocked by mere pressure coming from inside the Temple of Reverent Armaments

While inside the Pagoda, Mu Chen just smirked as he looked at so many shadows falling over him

"This is amusing..."

Mu Chen was completely surrounded by hundreds of thousands of weapons all around him, every weapon that has a blade was floating right in front of Mu Chen, there was no limit to compatibility Mu Chen had, no matter if it was daggers, axe or sword

'8 Disolation Slayer'

'Nightfall'

'Nightmare's Edge'

'Great Continental Sword'

Hundreds of names were popping inside Mu Chen's head every second but Mu Chen's eyes were upon just one blade

"This is really comparable to my 'Nova Blades', the set of 9 Swords, I got back from Clan, good then travel together from now on..."
