Is it wrong to want to marry a weapon?

After a long period of seclusion.

Inside a palace surrounded by countless wind-calling birds.

The stunningly beautiful girl with long, white-purple hair, who looked like a dream, finally opened her pale purple eyes.

Lu Chan stood up and gently moved his somewhat stiff hands and feet.

After nearly five years in the Dragon Palace.

A month ago, Lu Chan also cultivated to become a super-level weapon refiner at the third level of the Refinement Realm.

She complained, "Sleeping Beauty needs to absorb far too much spiritual energy. This glutton... Thunder Dance and Jade Sound always overflow early, but Sleeping Beauty always takes half the time, prolonging my cultivation cycle!"

Perhaps it's because it combines the energy of the River of Oblivion and the snow.

Sleeping Beauty seems to absorb spiritual energy endlessly, never enough, and is becoming more and more like the face of Wangchuan!

Lu Chan checked the refining points of his spiritual weapon.

[Jade Dao Melodious Sound, Refine Ensemble - Performance Commander, Refine once, Remaining Refinement Points: 2]

[Sleeping Beauty, Refine Nightmare Strike - Snow White Strike, one refinement, 2 refinement points remaining]

[Thunderous Dance of the Heavens, Refining Ice Crown Thunder Sound - Boom, Refined three times, Refining Points Remaining: 0]

That's right...

Lu Chan almost ignored all of Thunderous Dance's refining processes and focused on refining its Ice Crown Thunder Sound.

After being refined three times by Ice Crown Thunder Sound, it also produced a brand new effect.

"Boom: When the switch to travel through the mist is activated, the Ice Crown Thunder will unleash a super noise that is incomprehensible to ordinary creatures, and the enormous noise will directly blast through the mist, creating a temporary passage that allows other magical artifacts to pass through."

Thunder Dance's three refinement points were completely used up.

As for Sleeping Beauty and Jade Dao Miyin, Lu Chan deliberately reserved some refining points for them, intending to refine them later when he had inspiration.

Many weapon refiners do this.

That's because once you accumulate enough points, you can directly see the effect of a talent after it has been refined two or three times, which increases the margin for error.

At this moment...

The room where Lu Chan was located was already surrounded by one cute little steel sparrow after another.

"Smack!" Lu Chan casually slapped away a Windcalling Sparrow that was sleeping on his chest, and then glanced around.

In the nearly five years that have passed.

The number of Windcalling Sparrows has increased from dozens to nearly a thousand... It seems that all the Windcalling Sparrows on the first floor of the Dragon Palace have gathered.

Lu Chan nodded in satisfaction.

A moment later, Xiao Hanye's voice came from the next room: "Lu Chan, is your seclusion over? It's almost time, we should get going."

They didn't know where they were.

However, only one month remained until the agreed-upon meeting time.

If they don't find the end of the first level of the Dragon Palace in advance, they might miss the rendezvous time, and by then... the other weapon refiners might think they're already dead.

"Okay, let's set off now."

Lu Chan put all the Wind-Calling Sparrows back into the spiritual space built into his uniform, and then left his room.

In the center of the palace, Xiao Hanye, Liu Xianming, and Sha Yi and others had all arrived.

Upon seeing Lu Chan, Sha Yi immediately said, "Now is probably the safest time to set off. I just sensed the spiritual energy of the Mad Crowned Whale while I was on guard not long ago. Her patrol has just ended, and she shouldn't be back anytime soon."

"That guy is really persistent!"

"She's come looking for me countless times over the past five years. Is she really that relentless?" Liu Xianming complained softly, hands clasped together. "Next time she dares to patrol so arrogantly, I'm going to rush out and smash her metal armor to pieces."

"Speaking of Lu Chan..."

You seem to have changed again.

Suddenly, Xiao Hanye asked in a low voice, as if deep in thought.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Chan.

Perhaps it was because she had become a super-level weapon refiner, but her appearance seemed to have become even more exquisite... Combined with her petite height, she looked like an adorable doll, making one want to hold her in their arms and cherish her.

"is it?"

Lu Chan blinked, then flicked a strand of snow-white hair that fell across her chest, and said narcissistically, "That's probably because I've become cute again."

"Even if that's true, it's still strange that you said it yourself..."

"Alright, let's set off as soon as possible. We must find the end of the first level within a month."

We have a new goal.

Lu Chan and his group quickly left the palace and ventured deeper into the palace.

A month is enough time for a top-tier weapon refiner to explore all five forbidden zones in one go.

Even if many super-level beings act together in the Dragon Palace, they are still very likely to lose their way on the first floor.

As time goes by.

At the end of the first level of the Dragon Palace:

A number of weapon refiners had already gathered in front of a huge, dark blue door.

A month ago, Pei Yupao, Miss Nanhe, and Qi Jiusi were the first to find this area.

Lu Xianhuang arrived next, along with two top-grade spiritual artifacts.

Seven days before the five-year deadline, another set of magical artifacts arrived.

at last……

On the very last day, they finally saw the arrival of the last group of people.

Pei Yupao said with some surprise, "So you guys are all together?"

Upon seeing the girl in the lead, with long white-purple hair, Miss Nanhe immediately approached happily: "Great! Lu Chan, you're finally here! I thought you were dead!"

"How can you talk like that?" Lu Chan patted Nan He's head gently.

Even though five years have passed.

However, the two did not feel any awkwardness at all. After all, for a super-level weapon refiner, five years is at most a time of seclusion and a nap, which passes in the blink of an eye.

Lu Chan nodded to Lu Xianhuang first, then asked softly, "Did you all arrive already? In other words, those who didn't arrive are considered defeated, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Initially, there were twenty weapon refiners and ten guardians of spirit weapons who came to the Dragon Palace together.

Five years later, only fifteen people were present, half of the original number; among them were the sixth seat familiar to Lu Chan and others, and even Huang Fei and Zhou Xueyan were not present.

A guardian artifact sighed softly: "I once encountered an incredibly fast artifact. She guarded me... and with a speed so fast it was almost imperceptible, she took away two weapon refiners. I didn't even have time to react before she vanished."

Lu Xianhuang frowned and said, "We did encounter a very powerful magical artifact here. I wonder if it's the same one you're talking about?"

"..."

Miss Nanhe raised her hand and said, "I know, I know! That fast guardian artifact is called Cloud Chaser and Moon Chaser. We've encountered it twice. The first time we escaped in a very sorry state, but the second time we managed to force it back!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chan, Xiao Hanye, and Liu Xianming exchanged glances.

That's when they realized...

It turns out that besides the Mad Crown Heavenly Whale, there was another magical artifact called Cloud Chaser in the Dragon Palace.

Based on this, it seems that each of them is responsible for patrolling a specific area.

Liu Xianming also spoke up, saying, "That powerful spiritual weapon was called the Mad Crowned Heavenly Whale, but this guy chased it away..."

Seeing the direction Liu Xianming was pointing, everyone present gave him a strange look.

Qi Jiusi asked softly, "When did you meet her?"

"It was probably when we first entered the Dragon Palace, right?"

"What……?"

Upon hearing this, the weapon refiners had no reaction yet, but the several top-grade spiritual weapons were shocked and looked at Lu Chan at the same time.

How can this be……

They had personally experienced the terrifying power of the Mad Crown Whale!

Princess Zijing, when she first entered the Dragon Palace, seemed to be only a high-level weapon refiner, right...?

Is this really possible?

Lu Chan said softly, "I accidentally let her escape once, but... next time I see her, I should be able to make sure she never comes back."

"Let's not reminisce yet. Do you guys even remember how long it's been since five years?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the few people who had arrived earlier changed once again.

After a moment of silence, Nanhe whispered, "Lu Chan, you'll understand once you see it for yourself..."

After saying this, Nanhe led Lu Chan and his group to the end of the first floor.

On that crystal-colored wall...

It was engraved with a crown pattern sealed by strange ice crystals. Centered on the crown, the energy that spread out from it formed an invisible net that covered an area of ​​hundreds of meters.

Upon seeing this, Lu Chan's pale purple eyes narrowed instantly.

This is……

Fragments of the Ice Crown!!!

"I don't know who did it..."

"However, it now appears that the end of the first level of the Dragon Palace is sealed off by some kind of energy, making it impossible for us to proceed as originally planned."

Qi Jiusi said, "We've tried it too. This spiritual energy seal is extremely powerful. Even using special spiritual techniques... it's difficult to make a ripple, let alone break through the Dragon Palace's blockade. The power simply can't get through."

"Could this be made from those two magical artifacts?"

"Could it be that they sensed the attack from the weapon refiners outside and thus sealed off this area?"

Xiao Hanye stepped forward and examined it for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Lu Chan, this pattern looks a bit like the shape you form when you activate your Thunderous Dance skill..."

"Hmm? Lu Chan, what's wrong?"

Xiao Hanye was slightly taken aback when he saw Lu Chan's appearance.

At that moment, a strong excitement flickered in Lu Chan's pale purple eyes as she thought to herself, "Who exactly are you?"

no doubt.

Inside the Dragon Palace...

A highly intelligent artifact was created, capable of using the energy of the Ice Crown.

If that magical artifact is the one the lord the Mad Crowned Sky Whale spoke of...

Lu Chan understood almost perfectly.

She sighed softly and said nostalgically, "Are you Nantianmen? Or... a new child born from within her?"

Are you a piece of her puzzle?

If it weren't for the puzzle piece from the Southern Heavenly Gate, it would be impossible to use the Ice Crown's power!!

The puzzle piece of a magical artifact and the artifact itself are related as mother and child artifacts.

Even the two sides themselves share the same artifact slot.
