Chapter 1294 - 1289: Sky-reaching Halberd
Behind Luo Tian, the one who entered was Lin Chuan.
Now, Luo Tian had already been trained by Lin Chuan into a master. Against people like Luo Yaofeng, who were not even worth mentioning, he could defeat them with ease.
As a result, Luo Yaofeng and his group left dejectedly, and they released Luo Tian's mother, Mu Niangping.
Lin Chuan had already spent quite some time in the village and was worried about the situation with Murong Xue. Seeing that things here were resolved, he decided to take his leave.
Luo Xiaojuan had been taking care of Lin Chuan these past few days, and her heart was already tied to Lin Chuan. Hearing that he was leaving, she became a bit anxious.
Lin Chuan couldn't stay here, just as he had told Murong Xue; he was merely a passerby in this place, and after completing what he needed to do, he had to depart.
This era did not belong to him. Confronting emotions, Lin Chuan always restrained himself. Back in the day, he would have acted more boldly.
Faced with Lin Chuan's resolute departure, Luo Tian and the others had no choice but to persuade him to stay for one more day.
Luo Tian could now be considered half a disciple of Lin Chuan, and his skills were enough to deal with people like Luo Yaofeng. With more diligent practice, he could reach even greater heights.
Lin Chuan never imagined that his disciple, Luo Tian, would later become a grandmaster and make his mark in history. But that's a story for another time.
Early the next morning, Luo Tian was already waiting for him and presented Lin Chuan with a fine horse.
This horse was black all over, gleaming and shiny, clearly a good steed.
"Master, this is a Thousand Mile Colt, use it as your steed," since Lin Chuan taught Luo Tian the cultivation techniques, his way of addressing Lin Chuan had changed.
Lin Chuan initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Luo Tian's insistence, he had no choice but to accept Luo Tian's good intentions.
Actually, Lin Chuan had received a lot of kindness from others in this environment. However, at this moment, he had more important matters to tend to.
Riding on the Thousand Mile Colt, Lin Chuan charged towards the mountains. Suddenly, not far away, a series of lightning and thunder appeared.
This sudden change also made Lin Chuan somewhat anxious. If it started to rain now, he would quickly become drenched.
At this moment, the dark clouds in the distance were rolling in, as if they were about to cover the entire sky.
Although the Thousand Mile Colt was swift, it was still much slower compared to the clouds in the sky. Even the winds around him were enhanced by the power of the clouds.
As Lin Chuan rode the Thousand Mile Colt with several swift charges, he noticed that the distant lightning never disappeared. Especially a towering rock appeared particularly unique.
All the lightning was centering around it, changing. Colored electric sparks danced like mischievous children.
Although the surrounding dark clouds were many, there was no trace of moisture in the air to indicate rain.
In an instant, Lin Chuan felt a bit suspicious.
After several observations, he discovered that both the thunder and lightning were revolving around the rock. Regardless of their direction, the lightning was deliberately converging towards this stone.
Curiosity soon took hold of Lin Chuan's heart.
With a movement of his arm, the Thousand Mile Colt swiftly approached the Big Stone.
Having come to a complete stop, the Colt and Lin Chuan watched the changes occurring not far away.
The dark clouds in the sky had already darkened the landscape. With flashes of lightning occurring in between, many surroundings were illuminated. However, this light seemed somewhat eerie.
However, in the center of this giant rock, Lin Chuan clearly saw a crack. Though only the size of a fist, it constantly emitted electric sparks. Lin Chuan intended to get closer for a better look, but before he could, a bolt of lightning slashed right in front of him mercilessly.
Even the Thousand Mile Colt, which usually didn't know fear, was scared. Lin Chuan had to temporarily restrain his curiosity.
The world quickly became intensely dark. The darkness continued to deepen. Yet, the brighter those flashes of lightning became, the more blinding they were.
Initially, Lin Chuan dared not look directly at the lightning, and eventually, he was stunned by it. In the end, he had to watch only the periphery of it. Even then, he still shielded his eyes with his arm.
Unyielding winds whipped around him harshly, causing the Thousand Mile Colt to sway slightly.
A sudden violent bolt of lightning split the sky. The entire sky was brightly lit. After a brief moment, earth-shaking thunder resounded.
Coinciding with the thunder, the giant stone with the crack suddenly shattered.
Amongst the collapsing rubble emerged something wondrous.
The Colt, shaken and a bit nervous by the thunder, tottered. Once it regained its stance, Lin Chuan saw what was amidst the stone.
He was stunned once again.
The crumbled stone seemed to have softened, leaving no trace of dust. However, the rubble remained illuminated.
Jutting out from a shaft as thick as an arm was something resembling a crescent moon. Especially at this moment, the entire object emitted a dazzling light.
A halberd, a very peculiar ancient weapon, but this one was significantly larger.
Above, in the skies, lightning continually flashed, ultimately converging entirely upon this object.
Lin Chuan, who had been standing close by, was completely captivated by what he saw before him. Especially under the constant stimulation of the lightning, the yellow light that continuously flashed from the halberd was, to Lin Chuan, the most beautiful thing in the world.
After a series of gusts, the dark clouds above started to thin.
When Lin Chuan looked up, he clearly saw the dark clouds in the sky rapidly dissipating, and many of them even vanished on their own.
It was simply a miracle. Lin Chuan, who had never before seen such weather in his life, was astonished.
While Lin Chuan was still somewhat puzzled, the darkness around him vanished. After the last flash of lightning streaked across, the sky quickly returned to its original state.
From start to finish, it felt like a dream to Lin Chuan. He almost couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Suddenly, Lin Chuan's gaze fell on the spot where the lightning had just passed.
At this moment, the halberd on the ground was still standing. However, it was noticeably much smaller than it had been initially. It looked like the perfect weapon for someone to hold in their hand.
After Lin Chuan's arm continuously patted the Qianlijue, the pet, which understood its master's intentions, quickly rushed towards the nearby spot.
Qianlijue's speed wasn't very fast. Yet, even before it fully stopped, Lin Chuan had already rushed out and grasped the treasure that had emerged from the stone in his hand.
Instantly, Lin Chuan was delighted. The weight and feel in his hand seemed as if they had been specially crafted for him.
With excitement surging in his heart, Lin Chuan examined the item in his hand for a while.
Finally, he saw a few elegant small characters at the top of the halberd: "The Sky-reaching Halberd forever awaits its destined one."
The handwriting was clear. But the meaning inside had already revealed a key point. It was waiting for its destined person.
At this moment, Lin Chuan did not forget to look around. Once he confirmed that no one else was present, he smiled again.
It turns out this thing was waiting for its master. If that's the case, this weapon must possess some spirit.
Excited, Lin Chuan swung the Sky-reaching Halberd in his hand with force.
Whether up or down, or left or right, Lin Chuan seemed eager to master this thing completely in a short time.
After a series of consecutive exercises, Lin Chuan's breathing even became somewhat rapid. It wasn't as he had wished. There were even bouts of numbness in his arms.
A disappointed Lin Chuan gradually relaxed his grip on the item. After catching his breath for a moment, he gritted his teeth and grasped the Sky-reaching Halberd again.
Whether rolling up and down or swinging back and forth, it seemed Lin Chuan was adapting to the strength of the Sky-reaching Halberd.
While Lin Chuan was unaware, gusts of wind appeared around him.
Especially since these winds were all emitted from the Sky-reaching Halberd.
When Lin Chuan noticed the treetops not far away swaying, he became somewhat alert.
Lin Chuan, holding the Sky-reaching Halberd, suddenly aimed it at the treetops not far away and thrust it forward.
Although it was a simple movement, Lin Chuan had already exerted a lot of strength.
In an instant, a flash of lightning appeared at the front of the Sky-reaching Halberd. The crucial part was that this lightning was directed towards the treetops not far away.
Just as Lin Chuan was shocked, the lightning had already struck the treetops.
The treetop, as thick as a man's waist, snapped after the lightning flashed across it.
The massive tree crown quickly made a crisp sound as it hit the mountain rocks nearby, then finally rolled down to the ground along the mountain slope.
A stunned Lin Chuan grew tense once more.
This was something he hadn't even dreamed of.
What exactly was the Sky-reaching Halberd? He had never heard of it. He hadn't even seen these characters in his memory.
But now, he held this thing in his hand and had easily cut through the distant tree crown.
Heart pulsating with excitement, Lin Chuan made a swift gesture to the Qianlijue.
The perceptive Qianlijue instantly rushed away.
Just as the Qianlijue was shaking its body, another light flashed from the Sky-reaching Halberd in Lin Chuan's hand.
This light was deliberately aimed by Lin Chuan towards the mountain rocks in the distance.
In an instant, the mountain rock on the mountain slope shattered with force amid the impact. The flying debris rolled down the mountainside swiftly.
A deafening sound reverberated through the entire mountain range.
With these tremendous sounds, even the mountain rocks on the surrounding hillsides began to move.
Sitting on the Qianlijue, Lin Chuan was shocked. He had not anticipated that such a simple action would bring about such a massive change. An excited Lin Chuan lifted the Sky-reaching Halberd in his hand and made another simple gesture aimed at a large rock on the mountaintop.
