Separation from the World.
For Lin Yuan, it wasn't just about preventing the divine weapon from reuniting with the world but more importantly, it was about isolating himself from the fluctuations caused when engaging the divine weapon.
Within the Thirty-Six Nations of the Central Plains, every country had a divine weapon as its patron.
All thirty-six divine weapons emerged from the great battle eight thousand years ago, splitting the Central Plains among them.
For these thirty-six divine weapons to remain at peace, there had to be some sort of secret agreement between them, perhaps a pact to watch over one another.
If Lin Yuan suppressed the Sun and Moon Spear and the other thirty-five divine weapons detected it, he would likely face their combined assault.
Even if there were no such watchful agreement, upon seeing such a powerful human as Lin Yuan, the other thirty-five weapons would either seek to eliminate this threat or prevent future problems by taking action.
Even if Lin Yuan managed to escape their siege, once the thirty-five weapons witnessed his strength, they would harbor a heavy fear and likely advance to the fourth tier ahead of time to suppress all beings.
According to other dark weapons, the thirty-six divine weapons were already close to reaching the fourth tier.
"What are you waiting for?" The Sun and Moon Spear hadn't noticed the changes in the world yet.
It had just awakened from slumber and its senses were still a bit dull.
"A while ago, there was a cursed weapon called the 'Heaven-Splitting Axe,''' Lin Yuan casually brought up a topic to catch the Sun and Moon Spear’s attention."
That thing?
"The Sun and Moon Spear was momentarily stunned, its tone was contemptuous. Eight thousand years ago, the Heaven-Splitting Axe was no match for it, let alone now."
Perhaps.
"Just as the Sun and Moon Spear was about to speak further, Lin Yuan raised his right hand and slowly reached toward it. Buzz! The pressure was terrifying, filling every inch of air. The divine dragon that the Sun and Moon Spear transformed into instantly collapsed. Lin Yuan advanced a thousand meters suddenly, appearing in front of the Sun and Moon Spear, and grasped its shaft with outstretched right hand."
How dare you?!
"The Sun and Moon Spear roared with instinctive fury. For so many years, not even during the fierce battle eight thousand years ago, had any divine weapon dared to approach, let alone grasp it like this. Besides the 'Father God' who had forged it, no living being had ever done such a thing. Its powerful divine weapon aura erupted, sharp to the extreme, almost tearing through the air as it stabbed toward Lin Yuan."
Too late.
"Lin Yuan slightly shook his head, a smile appearing on his face. If he hadn't yet closed in and hadn't grasped the Sun and Moon Spear, it might have been able to struggle against him for a while with its power. But now, he had already locked onto its essence.
No amount of struggling would change that. This was Lin Yuan's ultimate plan. Without catching the Sun and Moon Spear by surprise, it would be difficult to handle, let alone knowing where its true body was.
Furthermore, if he showed his strength too soon and alerted the Sun and Moon Spear, it would only make things harder. Only by pretending to be a worshipper and letting the Sun and Moon Spear lower its guard could Lin Yuan, acting as its 'messenger', approach it closely.
Only then could he, like now, grasp the vital point of this divine weapon in an instant."
Truly almost reaching the fourth tier.
"Feeling the struggling Sun and Moon Spear in his hand, Lin Yuan became solemn. At this moment, holding a mere two-meter-long spear felt like pressing down a dragon that could unleash storms."
How could this be? How could this be? Who are you, and how do you have such strength?
"The Sun and Moon Spear was panic-stricken. After several failed counterattacks and being suppressed by Lin Yuan, it immediately realized its dire situation. Trouble. Real trouble. With its true body suppressed, no matter how great its supernatural powers or abilities, turning the tide seemed impossible."
Taiji.
"In Lin Yuan's eyes, a black and white vortex faintly appeared. In an instant, the pressure the Sun and Moon Spear bore magnified several times over. The extreme powers of the lunar and solar forces invaded its consciousness through the spear shaft."
You forced this on me.
"The Sun and Moon Spear's spiritual fluctuations exploded. Its form began to blur, clearly intending to return to the world. Even though this method would extinguish its consciousness, it was better than falling into Lin Yuan's hands. Moreover, under the suppression of Lin Yuan's Taiji power, faced with that perfectly balanced extreme force, even without returning to the world, the Sun and Moon Spear's consciousness wouldn't last much longer. Better to return to the world."
In thousands of years, I shall let Great Yan's descendants suffer under the sun and moon.
"The Sun and Moon Spear's heart was full of malice, embedding this intent deeply into its form. That way, even if the Sun and Moon Spear reappeared in the world and developed a new consciousness, it would have an innate aversion toward Great Yan's descendants. However, just as the Sun and Moon Spear was merging halfway with the world, its form solidified once more."
What?
"The Sun and Moon Spear was shocked. Its reentry into the world had been interrupted."
You actually, you actually isolated the world?
"The Sun and Moon Spear felt a heavy chill at heart. Isolating from the world—it sounded simple, but achieving it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Rumble. With the further grinding of the Taiji millstone, the Sun and Moon Spear's consciousness began to sink into darkness."
It's done.
"Lin Yuan let out a long breath of relief. The time limit to isolate the world for an hour was approaching closely. Fortunately, there were no unexpected developments."
A complete divine weapon.
"Lin Yuan looked at the shrunken Sun and Moon Spear, now small enough to fit in his palm. Even now, the Sun and Moon Spear exuded a faint oppression, the essence of heavenly laws."
Retrieve,"At Lin Yuan's thought, the fragments of cursed weapons he placed around the ancestral land returned to him. With the cursed weapons gone, the world returned to normalcy. But with the battle concluded, there were naturally no issues.
After suppressing the Sun and Moon Spear, Lin Yuan immediately returned to his underground palace, built in a secluded corner of the Great Yan Dynasty where outsiders couldn't detect it." Sun and Moon Spear.
"Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, staring at the palm-sized spear before him, momentarily entranced. Viewing a complete divine weapon gave Lin Yuan the first impression of perfection, akin to the sun, moon, stars, and everything in heaven and earth. Each component was perfectly harmonized with the heavens.
Several days passed. Situ Lin arrived at the underground palace, holding a wooden box, inside which was a fragment of a weapon—a cursed weapon. Lin Yuan had long ordered the Godslayer Society to collect various cursed weapons.
Although the weapon in the box had not developed consciousness, it was nevertheless a fragment of a divine weapon, meeting Lin Yuan's requirements. However, as Situ Lin approached the palace and saw Lin Yuan sitting in the center, with the floating spear before him, he hesitated."
That spear, which cursed weapon is it?
"Situ Lin's face was puzzled. Among the many cursed weapons he had collected for Lin Yuan, there were few spears, and Situ Lin sensed that the spear before Lin Yuan was exceptionally intact. It was as if—no, could it be? Situ Lin's thoughts were tossed about in turmoil because he tentatively thought, that spear might not be a cursed weapon. Could it be a divine weapon? An intact divine weapon? But how was that possible? All divine weapons in the world were fixed in number. The thirty-six divine weapons oversaw the world. How could an additional divine weapon exist?"
It's the Sun and Moon Spear, the Sun and Moon Spear of the Great Yan Dynasty?
"Situ Lin's heart trembled. A dignified divine weapon was actually subdued before Lin Yuan; this, this was incredible. Though Situ Lin knew Lin Yuan had once suppressed many cursed weapon masters at once, cursed weapons were cursed weapons. Compared to a true divine weapon, what did they count for?"
Master."
Situ Lin felt his legs weaken, unable to bring himself to advance.
In the palace's center, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
Upon thoroughly subduing the Sun and Moon Spear, Lin Yuan attempted to sift through its memories.
Rumble.
An enormous mental force began to invade.
The memory of the Sun and Moon Spear spanning millennia gradually unfolded before Lin Yuan.
Compared to other cursed weapons, the Sun and Moon Spear was a complete divine weapon, with memories intact.
Lin Yuan's expression turned grave as he browsed up to memories from ten thousand years ago.
Memories from ten thousand years ago were something Lin Yuan had never accessed, as other cursed weapons' original forms had long shattered and lost these segments.
Boom.
With the Sun and Moon Spear's memory,
Lin Yuan seemed transported ten thousand years into the past.
It was a vast world he found himself in.
His gaze swept around quickly catching sight of an enormous figure, immensely towering, and radiating boundless light.
It was the Ancient Divine Being.
