Chapter 97 Mahayana-level Spiritual Weapon, the Number One in the World
At this moment.

Outside the caves of the Xuanhuang Sect and the Jiuyang Sect, hundreds of demons were frantically attacking the great formation.

These demons are no ordinary demons; they are all great demons who have reached the Celestial Realm. They mobilize the power of heaven and earth to attack, and each attack carries a terrifying force like an overwhelming tide.

There were hundreds of powerful demons at the Celestial Realm level. This power was enough to destroy any one hidden sect, and even all the hidden sects combined did not have that many Grandmasters.

Under the bombardment of hundreds of powerful demons, the great formations of the Xuanhuang Sect and the Jiuyang Sect flickered with light, as if they might shatter at any moment.

Inside the blessed land of the Nine Yang Sect.

All the disciples were standing inside the great formation, their faces filled with solemnity as they stared at the demons outside. Some were even pale with fright, their faces ashen. If the great formation were broken and the demons broke into the cave, everyone would face certain death.

"Sect Master, we can't wait any longer. With hundreds of powerful demons attacking, the formation won't last long. Let's burn incense to awaken the Mahayana-level spiritual weapon!"

An elder at the Celestial Realm spoke, his tone tinged with anxiety.

At this moment, the Nine Yang Sect Master also had a solemn expression. He was well aware of the critical situation, but awakening a Mahayana-level spiritual weapon was the sect's last resort and should not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.

Awakening a Mahayana-level spiritual weapon requires a large amount of incense offerings, and activating a Mahayana-level spiritual weapon also requires an astronomical number of spirit stones. This would severely damage the Nine Yang Sect and might even affect the sect's future development.

Rumble!
The grotto-heaven array trembled violently.

These reclusive sects that exist today were once top-tier forces in ancient times, with supreme beings at the Dao Realm presiding over them.

The Nine Yang Sect's Cave Heaven Array is a grand array set up by a Supreme Being of the Dao Realm. If it can be activated at full power, even if a Supreme Being personally arrives, it can hold out for a period of time. However, the Nine Yang Sect currently only has a dozen or so Grandmasters of the Celestial Realm. When they activate the array, they can hardly unleash even one-tenth of its power.

At this moment, the light of the great formation grew dimmer and dimmer under the bombardment of the demons, as if it might be completely extinguished at any moment, exposing everyone to endless danger.

"Burn incense, awaken the Mahayana spiritual weapon!"

Upon seeing this, the Nine Yang Sect Master knew he could not hesitate any longer.

The sect is now at a critical juncture of life and death, and there is no room for hesitation.

Following his command, figures within the Nine Yang Sect sprang into action. They retrieved sticks of incense, formed from the collective wishes of all living beings, from the treasury, their faces solemn, and headed towards the sect's Ancestral Hall.

The incense they hold is not ordinary incense, but the incense of all living beings, a culmination of the dynasty's accumulated national fortune.

Inside the Ancestral Master Hall, incense smoke curls around.

On the walls of the main hall, there are paintings of the patriarch.

On the altar where it was offered, there was a long golden ruler.

This is the Great Ascension-level spiritual weapon of the Nine Yang Sect, the Great Sun Burning Heaven Ruler.

Grandmaster-level spirit weapons are divided into three levels: Spirit Embryo, Transformation, and Great Ascension. Spirit weapons that have reached the Transformation level have already manifested their spirits, and can fight autonomously even without a master's control.

The Mahayana-level spiritual weapon is a step further than the Transformation-level weapon, capable of autonomous cultivation and improving its own cultivation level.

However, what a Mahayana-level spiritual weapon needs to improve its cultivation level is not spiritual energy, but the incense power generated by living beings.

The Great Sun Burning Heaven Ruler lay quietly on the table, emitting a faint golden light, as if it were integrated with the entire Ancestral Hall, exuding a sacred and inviolable aura.

This Great Sun Burning Heaven Ruler Spirit Weapon is the foundation of the Nine Yang Sect.

The light emitted by the Great Sun Burning Ruler shone even brighter under the glow of the incense, as if an ancient and powerful force was being awakened.

The power of incense, gathering the faith of all beings, flowed towards the Great Sun Burning Ruler like a gentle stream, carrying an inexplicable great force. As the incense continued to pour in, the Great Sun Burning Ruler began to tremble slightly.

An ancient and majestic aura emanated from the Great Sun Burning Ruler, causing the entire Ancestral Hall to tremble. The disciples watched this scene with solemn expressions, holding their breath, their hearts filled with awe and anticipation, knowing that the spirit of the Great Sun Burning Ruler was about to awaken from its slumber.

A Mahayana-level spiritual weapon corresponds to a Grandmaster of the Unity Realm.

The disciples in the Ancestral Hall stood solemnly, holding their breath as they watched this scene, their hearts filled with awe and anticipation. They knew that the spirit of the Great Sun Burning Ruler was about to awaken from its slumber.

Even during the heyday of the Nine Yang Sect in ancient times, there weren't many Grandmasters at the Unity Realm. Above them were Martial Arts Supremes at the Dao Realm.

The number of Dao Realm Supremes produced by the Nine Yang Sect can be counted on one hand.

However, martial arts masters who reach the Dao Realm will go to the Land of Saints to pursue further advancement in martial arts, and will not remain in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

In the present day, it has been over ten thousand years since the Mountain and Sea Realm produced a single martial arts supreme who has reached the Dao Realm.

hum~~~
With the continuous infusion of incense power, the Great Sun Burning Ruler burst forth with a dazzling light, illuminating the entire Ancestral Hall as if it were daytime. Then, in the light, a majestic figure appeared.

In an instant, the entire Ancestral Hall seemed to be enveloped by a powerful force. The Great Sun Burning Heaven Ruler shone brightly with golden light, and a heart-palpitating aura spread out.

"Greetings, Grandmaster!"

All the disciples in the Ancestral Hall knelt down in unison.

The Great Sun Burning Heaven Ruler was left behind by the first patriarch, and for the disciples of the Nine Yang Sect, the Great Sun Burning Heaven Ruler is considered their patriarch.

Because the spirit of the Great Sun Burning Ruler looks exactly like the first patriarch.

The spirit of the Great Sun Burning Heaven Ruler awakened, its gaze sharp and majestic as it surveyed its surroundings. Then, the scene of a group of demons attacking the cave heaven came into its view.

"Hmph, a mere demon dares to act so presumptuously in my Nine Yang Sect!"

The Great Sun Burning Ruler seemed to streak across the sky like the sun itself, descending outside the cave with immense power and enveloping all the demons.

In an instant, these demons melted away like ice and snow.

the other side.

The Xuanhuang Sect also brought out the Xuanhuang Seal, a Mahayana-level spiritual weapon.

Hundreds of powerful demons could not withstand a single blow from the Xuanhuang Seal; their bodies exploded and turned into minced meat.

……

……

October 17th, the fourteenth year of Yuanfeng.

Zhou Qing nurtured a martial arts spirit, broke through to the Celestial Realm, entered the capital city alone, killed nine Nascent Soul Realm demons with a single move, then killed Li Xuantong, the ancestor of the Great Xuan royal family, refined the national treasure weapon, and changed the country's name to Great Zhou.

All the civil and military officials of the Great Xuan Dynasty submitted to Zhou Qing.

Thus, the Great Xuan Dynasty perished, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was established.

The news sent shockwaves throughout the world.

Zhou Qing is also known as the number one person of his time.

This title of "Number One in the World" is not limited to the secular Heavenly Ranking, but includes all the Grandmasters of the Celestial Realm, including those from hidden sects.
