Night fell gradually and the stars in the sky shone brightly. The night breeze was gentle as it blew across the back mountain of Great Change Sect.
Xu Que stood at the peak of the mountain with a huge black cannon beside him. His hands were behind his back as his robes fluttered in the wind. He was looking at a huge tree in the distance.
That would be the target for him to test the power of the God Powered Cannon.
After all, the strongest attack from an Original Infant Stage cultivator was no joke. Xu Que would definitely move the cannon up the mountain to test it out. If he wasn't careful and accidentally destroyed Great Change Sect, Su Yun Lan might bite him to death on the spot.
...
At this point, Su Yun Lan, the two Sect Elders and a few Golden Core Stage disciples were on their way.
The beautiful Sect Leader was feeling rather helpless. She had no confidence in the God Powered Cannon, which had taken him a day to complete. She felt that Xu Que was just toying with it! She felt that Xu Que was just toying with her!
The two Sect Elders heard from Su Yun Lan that Xu Que had created a cannon and had a strange expression on their faces as well.
While they were on their way, one of the Sect Elders asked, "Sect Leader Su, I heard from the disciple who was guarding the treasury that Xu Que had moved all the black iron away. Could it be that he wanted to create this cannon?"
"Yes! I promised him that if he needed any materials, I would take them all! "Su Yun Lan nodded her head calmly.
The two Sect Elders' faces fell as they wanted to cry but no tears came out.
"This … This is the last piece of black iron we have!"
"Although it's not considered rare or precious, it's extremely expensive. To waste it like this, it's really … Ai, forget it!"
The two of them sighed.
Nobody felt that the cannon used by mortals during battles would pose any threat to cultivators. No matter how well it was modified, it still couldn't compare to a spell.
That's why they came to the back mountain to watch Xu Que test the cannon. All of them were here with the intention of watching fireworks and celebrating the annihilation of Blood River Sect.
Only Su Yun Lan was calm. To her, wasting a batch of black iron didn't really matter. After all, this was Xu Que's intention to help Great Change Sect. She was touched by his actions.
All these years, she had been supporting the entire sect alone. She was already very tired. Now that Xu Que was willing to share some of her troubles, even if it was useless, it was still a kind of comfort to her!
…
Not long after, Su Yun Lan and the others arrived at the top of the mountain.
Looking at the pitch-black cannon engraved with golden runes beside Xu Que, everyone was speechless!
Xu Que couldn't be bothered with their expressions. He pointed at the opposite mountain peak and asked, "If I hit that mountain, it won't affect you, right?"
"Don't worry. There aren't any houses on the opposite side of the mountain. There are only some wild beasts wandering around. Xu Daoyou, feel free to try!" Su Yun Lan replied.
The other two Sect Elders nodded their heads as well. However, their expressions were still rather distracted and seemed rather bored.
They felt that it wasn't like they hadn't seen the might of a mortal's cannon before. If this cannon were to hit the mountain, it would at most create a huge crater. Other than that, what else could it do?
"Alright, I shall give it a try. Today, let us witness the first shot of the God Powered Cannon! "Xu Que spoke out loudly as he walked towards the God Powered Cannon.
Everyone's gaze fell upon him. Xu Que took in a deep breath and shouted out in his heart. The time to act tough has arrived!
Soon after, he moved his finger and opened up a small notch on the cannon. He then retrieved a low grade spirit stone from the storage ring he obtained from the Original Infant Staged cultivator.
The spirit stone was glowing with a green light and was as clear as jade. He then pressed it into the notch.
The two Great Change Sect Elders let out an "Ai" sound. Don't cannons usually have to be loaded with gunpowder and shells first before using a torch to ignite the fuse? They've never seen a cannon that required a spirit stone to be placed inside.
Su Yun Lan paused in shock. She suddenly remembered what Xu Que had told her last night. This was a cannon that only consumed spirit stones!
'Could it be … That what he said was true?' Su Yun Lan thought to herself. However, she suppressed this thought immediately. She felt that it was impossible and she didn't dare to believe it. After all, this was too shocking!
"Pa!"
At this point, Xu Que clasped his palms together as his 10 fingers started moving at lightning speed. He then conjured a complicated spell which was difficult to understand.
Following which, a ray of golden spiritual energy shot out and enveloped all 10 of his fingers. It was as though a golden flame was burning on his fingers.
"Open!"
Xu Que opened his eyes wide and shouted out loudly. His palms were imbued with golden spiritual energy as he slapped the tip of the cannon.
"Weng!"
At this point, the cannon emitted a deep and resonant sound. The numerous golden inscriptions on the surface of the cannon lit up and emitted a dazzling golden light. It was extremely bright and resplendent!
"Ai … What's going on?"
The two Great Change Sect Elders were taken aback. This wasn't an ordinary cannon!
Su Yun Lan's mouth was agape as her face was filled with astonishment.
At the same time, the golden inscriptions on the God Powered Cannon were glowing brightly. A bright light began to condense within the barrel of the cannon. It was as though a golden sun had appeared and lit up the entire night sky.
"Boom!"
Soon after, the majestic golden light transformed into a beam of light and shot out from the barrel of the cannon towards the peak of the mountain.
The entire night sky turned bright as day. The sudden blinding light caused Su Yun Lan and the rest of them to close their eyes.
"Boom!"
At the next moment, an earth-shattering sound exploded in their ears, causing their eardrums to vibrate in pain.
When they opened their eyes once again, the light became weaker and wasn't as blinding as before.
Su Yun Lan and the rest of them stared at the scene in front of them in shock.
The originally gigantic mountain looked as though it had been sliced in half. The entire mountain peak had disappeared without a trace. The place where it was sliced off was as smooth as a mirror!
Such terrifying destructive power was something even Su Yun Lan and the rest of them wouldn't be able to do. They definitely wouldn't be able to do it!
After all, it was a mountain. A gigantic mountain peak!
But now, with just a single shot, it had been reduced to ashes!
"Sect Leader Su, I have a way to prevent Great Change Sect from being harassed by the demonic sects. We can even become the strongest sect in the vicinity of Wind City."
"Sect Leader Su, look carefully. This is the God Powered Cannon. A low grade spiritual energy would allow it to fire 10 shots. Every shot would be as powerful as an Original Infant Stage cultivator's strongest attack …"
At that moment, Su Yun Lan's ears started to ring with the words Xu Que had spoken to her last night. Every single word and every single sentence was clearly echoing in her ears.
Su Yun Lan was in a daze.
If it was said that Xu Que single-handedly killing so many Original Infant Stage cultivators had shocked her, she could still accept it. After all, in this boundless world, there would always be a few demonic geniuses!
But the scene before her eyes right now was something she couldn't accept.
All it took was a single night!
All it took was a single piece of paper!
Using a pile of black iron to create a cannon that was as powerful as an Original Infant Stage cultivator's attack!
