Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 633 Mountain Turtle Swims Amidst Floods, Turning Rivers and Seas Upside Down
During this time, Chu Danqing and Bai Hanzhe chatted.

It turns out that Bai Hanzhe was a martial arts candidate who planned to go to Yundu to take the imperial examination.

The dynasty that Chu Danqing lived in was called the Lan Dynasty.

Lan Dynasty was not a unified dynasty in Guiyun Continent; there was also a nomadic tribal alliance called Cangyue Royal Court in the surrounding area.

The current situation is that the two sides are temporarily coexisting peacefully.

This is just the surface; in reality, the Azure Moon Royal Court had recently raided their territory.

They've been fed, so it's unlikely they'll come back to attack again anytime soon.

As for Lanchao, it is wealthy, but it has a sense of decline.

Bai Hanzhe's decision to take the military examination was not because he wanted to serve his country loyally or turn the tide.

His thoughts were simple: firstly, to fulfill his deceased parents' last wishes, and secondly, to find a place to settle down and make a living.

While becoming a Juren (举人) is desirable, becoming a Gongshi (贡士) or Jinshi (进士) opens up a much wider world for one.

As for Wenju? Even a dog wouldn't go there.

Both the Lan Dynasty and the Cangyue Royal Court valued military prowess over civil administration.

Practicing martial arts allows one to better utilize powerful weapons, but studying literature won't do the same.

"Sigh, I wish I had a divine weapon." Bai Hanzhe was filled with regret.

Divine weapons are something that can only be encountered by chance, and it is also a mutual process.

Not only do people choose divine weapons, but divine weapons also choose people.

If you cannot meet the requirements of the divine weapon, it will simply disappear and will not follow you.

Once a divine weapon recognizes its master, it will never abandon him.

As for the origin of the divine weapon, it is a marvel of heaven and earth.

The precursor could be a natural landscape, a building, or even birds and beasts, flowers and trees, or even weapons and armor themselves.

Because of this, many people have witnessed the birth of divine weapons.

"These things depend on fate," Chu Danqing replied.

As the two were talking, Da Bao suddenly tugged at Chu Danqing's sleeve and said, "Little Chu, there's something down there."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing immediately looked over.

The water was murky, making it difficult to see clearly, but a huge black shadow could be vaguely seen swimming at the bottom.

[Side Quest: Before the rain stops, defeat the 'Iron-Backed Dragon King' formed from the Divine Weapon Mountain Turtle Shield and the Commander of the Army]

[Trial Difficulty: A (Hero)]

[Trial Reward: Paradise Points x 10000, Attribute Points +4]

[Trial Failed: Paradise Points -20000, Random Attribute -1]

The so-called "commander of troops" is someone who possesses divine weapons.

Chu Danqing took a look and immediately accepted it.

His gaze fell on the dark shadow at the bottom of the water, and he was certain of one thing.

This divine weapon, named the Mountain Turtle Shield, was likely transformed from a giant turtle that had become a wondrous creature of heaven and earth.

"This divine weapon is so enormous? Could it be of superior quality?" Bai Hanzhe was also astonished.

Chu Danqing found it rather strange. You could accept that the advancement ceremony of this divine weapon brought about a flood, but you can't accept that its size is too big?
His memories of his identity didn't include this aspect, which clearly involved some secrets.

Bai Hanzhe took another look and couldn't help but smile: "So that's how it is, it was just a bluff."

"Brother Chu, why don't you give it a try? You might be able to beat him to a pulp."

Based on those two sentences alone, Chu Danqing could tell that Bai Hanzhe came from an extraordinary family background.

"Okay, I'll give it a try." With that, Chu Danqing took the large bone out of the spiritual abode.

At this moment, Da Gu had already finished chanting the "Sorrowful Return of the Wind," poured in all the incantations, and had been gathering his strength for two minutes.

It's not that I don't want to continue accumulating power, but at this stage, Da Gu can only last for a maximum of two minutes.

The power of the newly added passive skill, "False Advice," increases incrementally.

If the damage is 1, then it will be 2 after one minute, which is fine.

The power increase from charging for two minutes is not 3, but 4.

Three minutes is 8, four minutes is 16.

There is no upper limit to the skill's improvement, but Big Bone's small body has limited capacity to withstand it.

After all, the prerequisite for charging up power is to invest all the runes. Each rune increases damage by 50%, and if it increases by another 50%, it will be too much to handle.

The fact that Da Gu can store energy for two minutes is entirely due to the 1000% recovery efficiency of Lingqiao Fuzhai and Da Bai's healing.

"Brother Chu, what is this?" Bai Hanzhe asked with a puzzled expression, wanting to know where this bone book came from.

But before he could finish asking the question, the hairs on his body stood on end.

A gentle breeze fell into the water.

Then, towering waves surged in the water, and the earth shook violently once more.

Fortunately, they were riding on clouds in the sky, far away, so they were not affected.

Chu Danqing stuffed the large bone back into the Spirit Aperture Blessed House, while Da Bai immediately began treating it.

The combination of the large bone and the spiritual aperture of the blessed house forms a similar powerful move.

It has to be said that Big Bone's glass cannon is truly powerful.

Once its inherited skills and attributes are fully maxed out, even a Tier 5 native can't withstand it.

Aside from talent bonuses, it's probably more due to special and basic skills.

"What's wrong?" Chu Danqing asked.

Bai Hanzhe stared intently at the murky water, swallowed hard, and said, "Nothing, nothing."

He was shocked not only by the power of the Great Bone, but also by the fact that Chu Danqing possessed two divine weapons.

Besides this auspicious five-colored cloud, there is also such a powerful bone book.

The Five-Colored Auspicious Clouds might only be a lower-grade divine weapon, but the Bone Book was definitely a superior one. Chu Danqing sensed the other party's intention; a person could only possess one divine weapon—that was an ironclad rule.

His performance was indeed eye-catching.

"You don't think I have two divine weapons, do you?" Chu Danqing said with a smile, "Actually, it's just that this divine weapon of mine can transform."

As Chu Danqing spoke, he lowered the clouds, and then his gaze swept across the area, finding a shield.

The shield looked tattered and simply floated on the water.

The good news is that the Iron-Backed Dragon King is dead; the bad news is that the Mountain Turtle Shield is ruined.

There wasn't even a stat panel when I got it.

"What a pity for such a divine weapon," Bai Hanzhe said regretfully.

Divine weapons are naturally susceptible to damage; they are merely wondrous objects of heaven and earth, their origins being nothing more than ordinary mortals.

How could it possibly be indestructible?

"It's not a pity, but where is the commander of this divine weapon? Where did he go?" Chu Danqing said.

The mission is not yet complete, nor has it failed due to the damage to the divine weapon.

This means that the commander of the Mountain Shield is still alive.

This brought Chu Danqing back to her senses. The reason this task could be rated as A-level was entirely due to finding the Commander of the Army.

On the contrary, the Iron-Backed Dragon King was of average strength.

Just as Bai Hanzhe said, this thing is just a bluff.

"This is indeed strange. Logically speaking, when a divine weapon advances, the weapon wielder should follow." Bai Hanzhe muttered, "Could it be someone who inherited it?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing understood what Bai Hanzhe meant.

The so-called inheritance means that it is not a divine weapon.

The simplest point is: what happens to the divine weapon if the commander dies?
There are generally two scenarios: passing the inheritance from father to son and murder and robbery.

The former is mostly fine, because bloodline can directly inherit everything about the divine weapon.

But the latter is different; after murder and robbery, all the advancements of the divine weapon will disappear, and it will return to its initial state.

Furthermore, the compatibility with the raider must be taken into account. If the compatibility is high, that's fine; if the compatibility is low, the power of the divine weapon cannot be brought into play.

Actually, there is a third type of unexpected gain.

This is the most frustrating, because the divine object is obscured by the lack of control.

It doesn't look like a divine weapon at all, and at this time, the divine weapon can even choose its user.

If selected, it will be treated the same as a normal divine weapon; if not selected, it can still be recognized if its identity and origin can be explained.

If you don't have any of those, then you'll just have to miss out.

Because there are other ways to obtain divine weapons, many second and third generation members in the Lan Dynasty have obtained them.

Whether it's easy to use or not is another matter, but having an extra divine weapon means having an extra layer of foundation.

Fortunately, the wonders of nature can be generated on their own, and many people from the middle and lower classes have obtained them, so they have not been completely monopolized.

It is precisely for this reason that the high-ranking officials of the Lan Dynasty are hesitant to act rashly, fearing that a bloodbath might ensue.

The setting sun over Lanchao is inextricably linked to this.

"That's actually possible." Chu Danqing thought about it and realized it made sense.

However, he is most likely not from a noble family. If someone truly had absolute power, they wouldn't need to go to a remote place.

It's likely that they only realized murder was illegal after leaving Lan Dynasty.

As they were talking, a person came walking on water from not far away, and he was very fast.

"You two are here, have you seen it?" The man was about to ask when he saw the tattered mountain turtle shield in Chu Danqing's hand, and his face immediately darkened.

"May I ask you two, was it you who destroyed this divine weapon?"

As they spoke, the other party drew a long sword.

The blade is curved like a snake, clearly a divine weapon.

With killing intent unleashed, Da Bao was even faster, directly tearing apart the claws and killing form.

The power of bloodlust spread instantly, and with a single claw, it severed the man's sword-wielding right hand.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. By the time the other party reacted, the blood on his right arm had already stained the surrounding water red.

"Ah, you!!!" the other party couldn't help but groan.

Da Bao reacted quickly, first catching the snake-shaped sword, then slapping the man's two large fists.

Then he said fiercely, "Shut up!"

At the same time, he grabbed the person.

"Tell me, who is the commander of this Mountain Turtle Shield?" Chu Danqing asked.

The other person was taken aback, enduring the pain as they pondered who Chu Danqing really was.

How could an ordinary person possibly know about the Mountain Turtle Shield? It must be related to it.

Thinking of this, his heart sank.

He knew perfectly well how the Mountain Turtle Shield came to be.

The former commander of the army, Huai Bi, was already dead for his crimes, and his entire family was wiped out.

Now that things had come to this, he had already made up his mind: this person must be a relative or friend of the former commander of the Shan'ao Shield Army.

The reason for this investigation is revenge.

"Let me give you a piece of advice: if you're doing this to avenge that fool, you should give up on that idea as soon as possible."

“The commander of this mountain shield is now the young master, who is not someone like you from the mountains.”

"If we leave now, we can still live."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing couldn't help but smile: "Not bad, not bad, it's someone who can understand human speech."

"Now, tell me where that young master is; I need to speak with him."
