Purple mist curled up around Xuanwu Lake. Golden carps would jump up from time to time and splash up large waves.
The island was covered in lush green grass and the scenery was beautiful. There were a number of old peach trees in full bloom with pink petals drifting down from time to time.
This area was peaceful like a painting, harmonious and tranquil.
Chu Feng's expression was focused as he held the scarlet flying knife in his hand. He was seriously carving tadpole patterns and complex runes on the magnetic stones.
No one disturbed him. The island had become a pure land. Others could only stand on the shore despite their curiosity and couldn't enter the island.
Only the Wudang Grandmaster was on the island. He was worried about Chu Feng's safety.
Not long ago, all parties had reached an agreement. Many people wanted to cooperate with Chu Feng.
Celestial Biology's main camp was in Jiangning. It was the most convenient place to transfer resources. As such, they immediately sent over a large number of magnetic stones and jade pieces for Chu Feng to nurture his divine weapon.
Apparently, the corporations didn't completely believe in Chu Feng's strength.
Celestial Biology sent over a rusty ancient sword. It was rumored to be an ancient precious weapon and wanted him to "nurture" it to see its effects.
Chu Feng selected carefully from the pile of materials. He didn't use ordinary jade stones or magnetic stones and only chose the best among them to carve runes.
That was because ordinary magnetic stones were no longer useful to him. His main goal was to form the black and white grinding stone in his body and remove its flaws. This was his foundation.
As for nurturing weapons for the corporations, it was just a matter of convenience and could be considered secondary.
Rare jade stones and lustrous magnetic stones were indeed valuable items with excellent effects. Chu Feng had just finished laying down the weapon nurturing domain when the area began to shake.
"Look, those are the various energy particles in the world. They've actually taken form and are gathering toward that area!"
Someone cried out in surprise from the shore.
The ancient sword was mottled and covered in rust. Now that it had been nourished by special energy, it actually began to emit a faint glow.
This was indeed a famous weapon from ancient times and could be considered an extraordinary weapon.
Before long, it began to hum softly. With a crack, some of the rust fell off to reveal the green sword body emitting a treasured splendor.
Upon closer inspection, there was a fine line on the sword's body. That was the result of a heavy injury, and it almost split open.
Now, energy surged, the ancient sword lightly cried, light swirling about. The entire ancient sword seemed to be cheering with life, the cracks seemingly indistinct.
"This is really surprising. This is a famous sword from the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It has its own spirituality. After I used the Weapon Nurturing Art to pour energy into it, the wounds on the body of the sword are gradually healing." Chu Feng was surprised.
On the shore, everyone revealed looks of shock, because the ancient sword was shining. Sword energy shot out streak after streak, extremely astonishing.
"Celestial Biology is amazing. There really is a famous ancient sword. I thought they were fooling us."
"This is just a preliminary test, yet they've already taken out an extraordinary weapon. They must have something even more astonishing in their hands, but they can't reveal it."
Many people were guessing that there was a divine item in the Celestial Biology Secret Stash. It would definitely be extraordinary once it was enhanced by the weapon nurturing domain and upgraded in quality.
Three days later, the fine cracks on the ancient sword had completely disappeared. Moreover, it had become increasingly sturdy and sharp. With a light swing, it would emit a hazy green light and be able to easily cut through thick metals.
"A sharp weapon! A vicious sword!" Some people gasped in admiration.
"That's enough. This sword can only be nurtured to this extent unless there are even more astonishing materials," said Chu Feng.
He handed the sword to the people from Celestial Biology.
During these three days, the other major powers had also shipped over a small mountain of materials. Chu Feng's deployment of the weapon nurturing domain was extremely fast. He placed one domain after another on the island.
There was a weapon in each domain, all delivered by the major powers. Just like Celestial Biology, they were all probing each other at first.
Some were ancient weapons, but they were damaged.
Some were famed swords of the present age made of good materials and were astonishingly sharp. They wanted Chu Feng's help to improve them.
Chu Feng knew that as long as he displayed sufficient strength, those people would take out their hidden treasures and let him upgrade their grades.
Naturally, it would be done in secret. They would look for him alone to set up the domain in secret and not in public.
Chu Feng naturally had his own objectives in setting up the weapon nurturing domains on the island. He was trying to link them together to construct a large-scale domain.
Apparently, the first stage of his attempt had failed because he needed a famed mountain!
The requirements for constructing a large-scale domain were strict. It required the coordination of a special terrain before it could be constructed. This wasn't a simple matter.
Clang, clang, clang …
During these days, sword radiance surged and silver spears flickered on the island. They were all extraordinary weapons, flowing with astonishing brilliance and emanating an unusual spirituality.
At this point, all the major powers were convinced after witnessing Chu Feng's methods.
In just a few days, the weapons they had delivered had undergone astonishing changes. The less damaged ones had all been repaired.
During these days, Chu Feng had also reaped some benefits. His strength had recovered to the ninth level of the awakened realm and was about to touch upon the king domain. It was obvious that the black and white grinding stone had become more condensed.
During this period, the outside of the island was bustling with activity. Linnoy had also come and watched Chu Feng from afar. However, she didn't set foot on the island.
No one could set foot on the island at will. Anyone who came could only wait outside.
During these days, all the major corporations had the same attitude toward Chu Feng. At the very least, they appeared to be quite enthusiastic on the surface. They waited quietly outside the island and did their best to satisfy Chu Feng's requests for various materials.
"Be careful. Not all experts need weapons. For instance, I only need to use my fist arts."
The old grandmaster reminded Chu Feng not to think that all the major powers had become benevolent. Moreover, he shouldn't believe that all the peerless kings didn't see him as a threat.
Chu Feng nodded. He naturally understood this.
Although he was surrounded by people like the moon among the stars, he knew that these people could turn hostile at any moment. He himself wouldn't be so complacent and self-righteous, either.
Right now, they were just using each other.
Chu Feng reckoned that some major powers were trying to study domains and find a breakthrough from him.
He could sense all kinds of advanced instruments in the distance. So much so that there were monitoring devices on the island. They wanted to see how he would deploy his domains.
It was just that his domain techniques were becoming more and more skilled and his attainments were increasing. All the runes on the magnetic stones he had carved would be withdrawn and disappear within.
Not to mention stealing, those people wouldn't be able to understand even if he were to give it to them directly.
In truth, they might not necessarily be able to learn it even if he were to teach them step by step. Those tadpole characters were complex and profound. There couldn't be a single flaw. For instance, the thickness of the veined patterns, the order in which they were carved, and even the amount of mental energy invested would affect the actual results.
Some things could only be understood and not explained.
In truth, some corporations also had ancient books on domains. Although they couldn't compare to the one Chu Feng had obtained, they were, after all, incomplete inheritances. They had studied them for a long time but simply couldn't comprehend them.
Now, there was a voice within some of the major powers. That was to invite Chu Feng over, open their hearts to him, give him these inheritances, and obtain his friendship.
That was because they really couldn't comprehend those secret domain books themselves.
There were also some corporations who wanted to negotiate with Chu Feng. They wanted to gift him the ancient books, but they wanted him to accept disciples and teach their people.
Naturally, there were also extremely dangerous powers who had their eyes on Chu Feng. They wanted nothing more than to capture him and use him forever.
That was because domain researchers weren't limited to nurturing weapons. They could also break all kinds of restrictions, help the various corporations ascend famed mountains, and disintegrate those hidden domains.
On the fifth day, Chu Feng had delivered all the weapons on the island to everyone's satisfaction.
Finally, on this day, someone delivered a piece of metal known as a divine weapon.
This was an incomplete weapon. It was only the length of a finger and seemed to be a piece of a sword. It was dark blue in color and somewhat dim.
This was delivered by the Pre-Qin Research Institute. Qi Honglin told Chu Feng that this might be the legendary divine sword, Gan Jiang!
Chu Feng was stunned. How could such a legendary divine sword appear in the present age after so many years?
Gan Jiang, Mo Xie, Yu Chang … these swords were all recorded in the history books and were known as the ten famed swords of ancient China. How could he have the fortune to see one of them?
To be exact, it was a small piece.
Qi Honglin vowed that this small piece should be a fragment of the Gan Jiang sword and asked if he could repair it.
"Old Qi, you're overthinking things. How can you be sure this is a fragment of the Gan Jiang sword? Besides, those legendary famed swords are mostly made of bronze and their smelting conditions are limited. Their fame is only spread by word of mouth and beautified. "
These were Chu Feng's words. He indeed believed that those bronze swords wouldn't be that sharp in modern times.
"But it's indeed a Gan Jiang. Can it be repaired?" Qi Honglin asked once again.
Chu Feng observed it in detail after receiving it. This dark blue fragment was made of a special material and simply couldn't be identified. But after being placed in the Weapon Nurturing Domain, it actually erupted with brilliance and blue light shot into the sky.
"Could it be that the Gan Jiang, Mo Xie, Yu Chang, and the others weren't forged by mortals but are all legendary weapons?"
Chu Feng revealed an odd expression. It wasn't just him — even the old grandmaster and the people on the shore had changed expressions. That was because this small fragment was glowing with a hazy multicolored light. It was simply too shocking.
If the ten famed swords of ancient China were intact, wouldn't they be world-shaking?
"This is beyond my expectations," Chu Feng sighed in admiration.
In the end, he couldn't really repair it. He was only nurturing weapons and using the domain to upgrade the weapon's quality. He wasn't forging it, so it was impossible for him to reconstruct a damaged weapon from nothing.
But during these days, that fragment had burst forth with divine light. This allowed him to confirm that it was enough to be used as a flying sword. After some nurturing, its spiritual radiance had reappeared.
Gan Jiang's sharpness was fully revealed as if it had been stripped of the dust of time. The Pre-Qin Research Institute was very satisfied and brought it away.
Chu Feng suspected that the Pre-Qin Research Institute might have even more fragments of the Gan Jiang sword. They had only brought out one fragment to probe his abilities.
During this period, the black and white grinding stone within Chu Feng's body became even clearer and more extraordinary. The energy entering his body had been purified to an astonishing degree.
