This group of people began to speak one after another. Among them, some were familiar with each other, while others were strangers, engaging in conversation as if they were not in a hurry at all.
“The inheritance competition of Cang Xuan City lasts for a month. As long as one can activate a Hammer Shadow Rune within this month, one will gain the attention of the City Lord's Mansion and receive certain rewards. Why should everyone be so anxious?”
Another light laugh came, belonging to yet another genius.
The people around glanced at him and said, “A disciple from the Ding Tian Paradise, you should be quite familiar with this giant hammer, as your Ding Tian Paradise is a refining power that has resided in Cang Xuan City for many years. Can you activate it?”
“The giant hammer is spiritual and unpredictable. The runes change constantly every day, lacking any regularity. No matter how familiar you are, it ultimately depends on one’s skill level,” the disciple from Ding Tian Paradise replied coldly. “Moreover, if it’s just about simply activating a Hammer Shadow, one would only grasp a bit of the heavenly principles. Only by activating three Hammer Shadows can one obtain some inheritance in weapon refining, truly stepping into the next level.”
“Haha, no matter how many can be activated, I only know that as long as I activate one Hammer Shadow, I can grasp the essence of the giant hammer for body refinement, with an eighty percent hope of stepping into the Earth Saint realm in the future. I only wish to activate one.”
A bare-chested man said.
“Crude,” the crowd shook their heads, looking disdainful. “The appearance of the giant hammer is a rare opportunity in a thousand years. Furthermore, after one comprehension, the second time one cannot comprehend again. Such a rare chance, to only seek to activate one is to forsake the essence for the superficial.”
“Haha, I am not a weapon refiner, so what if I only seek one? If I can step into the Earth Saint, I will be satisfied,” the man laughed loudly, unconcerned.
Qin Chen silently listened from the side and finally learned quite a lot from the conversations of these geniuses.
The grand event of Cang Xuan City’s inheritance was quite mysterious, originating from before the Heaven Realm shattered.
It is rumored that before the Heaven Realm shattered, there existed a weapon refining sacred sect in the area where Guang Han Mansion is located, which was extremely powerful and dominated the Heaven Realm.
However, later, during the Heaven Realm war, the Demon Tribe and Human Tribe fought, and among the top races of the Demon Tribe, their sights were set on this human refining sacred sect. During one operation, they launched a surprise attack.
This battle was brutal. The weapon refining sacred sect was powerful, and the army of the Demon Tribe suffered heavy losses. However, the Demon Tribe was well-prepared, and the weapon refining sacred sect ultimately could not withstand the onslaught and was forced to be annihilated.
Before the sect was annihilated, the sect master of the weapon refining sacred sect roared to the heavens, and as he self-destructed, he threw the sect's treasured artifact into the endless void, disappearing without a trace.
This treasured artifact was the very Hammer Shadow.
The Demon Tribe searched tirelessly for this treasured artifact but could not find it even after a thousand years of Heaven Realm time. Later, when the Heaven Realm shattered and the Demon Tribe was suppressed, no one paid attention to this legend.
With the shattering of the Heaven Realm, countless rumors also faded into history.
Years passed, and the powerful beings of the Heaven Realm once again united to restore the Heaven Realm, re-forming it. This area also became Guang Han Mansion, with cities and major powers rising from the ground.
But one day, a giant hammer phantom suddenly appeared in Cang Xuan City, attracting the covetous eyes of nearby powers. Numerous factions came to try to find the source of this giant hammer phantom, but no one could trace its origin.
