CHAPTER 1941 FLASH CLEAVE AXE!

The appearance of the candle was surprising for Lin Mu at first, but he soon recognized what it was.

'Is this one of those treasures that can emit Dao Traces?' Lin Mu wondered.

He knew about the Dao Essence crystal, as he had seen one before, but this was a lot more different from that. But at the same time, Lin Mu was sure this was no Immortal tool. The candle itself had no Immortal Qi fluctuations and as such those with a weaker cultivation base wouldn't even be able to tell that there were Dao Traces coming from this.

Even for those with a stronger cultivation base, if they weren't sensitive enough they wouldn't know that there were Light Dao Traces coming from the candle.

"Oh? A Shadow Dispel Candle made from Solstice Wax?" Lin Mu heard Xukong's voice in his mind.

"You know what it is, Senior?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes… it is a kind of a treasure that is half an Immortal tool. It has no grade and can't be classified into any particular category. Or rather, one would find more similarities between the candle and Dao Embryos than it and other immortal tools." Xukong replied, confusing Lin Mu.

"I've never seen anything like this before." Lin Mu said, observing the glowing candle. "Considering the head elders reaction, I am guessing this isn't meant for use like this?" he asked.

"Indeed. A Shadow Dispel Candle is a powerful item used to banish ghosts and other negative beings." Xukong replied. "Of course, it is usually made from a more 'common' form of wax. But this one is particularly made from a very precious type of wax called as the Solstice Wax.

It is something that is created only once a year when the longest day of the year happens.

The wax created in those conditions with suitable materials turns into Solstice wax. Content © 2024.

"How would something like that be made in the Rust Sky world though, Senior? There isn't enough sunlight here in the first place." Lin Mu was doubtful.

"You are correct. It is highly like it was made in a more 'normal' world that had a clear atmosphere. Or… there's also a certain chance that this was actually created in a world with multiple suns too. That would result in higher quality wax." Xukong answered. "Shadow Dispel Candles of this level can even banish ghosts that have the power to kill peak immortals.

For it to be used here, to provide mere Dao Traces feels wasteful.' He added.

"Hmm, true. But then again, they don't have much more they could use for this." Lin Mu replied.

~SHUA~

Lin Mu watched, as the Dao Traces coming from the Candle wick were being absorbed by the Double Headed battle Axe. The candle started melting, and as more of its smoke was absorbed, the smaller it became.

In just a few minutes, the Candle had fallen to less than a quarter of its initial size.

'It fell fast…' Lin Mu hadn't expected that.

And when the entire candle had melted away, the production of the Light Dao Traces had also been reduced.

"Now we can only hope…" Head Elder Heng said, seeing that the previous candle was used up.

If this didn't work, they might not be able to attempt something like this for years on end. As such, it was very important for them to make it work.

~HUMM~

As if the heavens had answered their prayers, the Double headed battle axe glowed once more!

"It's working!" head Elder Dajian said with excitement.

~HONGLONG~

The Double headed Battle Axe glowed brightly while strong Light Dao Traces covered it and floated around it. Even with Spatial Perception, it was getting hard for Lin Mu to watch it all.

If any mortal were to witness this, they would simply go blind from the strong intensity of the light. It was the same as staring directly into the sun for minutes at the end. Thankfully for most immortals, it was still bearable and they could endure.

'Come on… just a bit more… take that step…' Head Elder Heng wished in his heart.

Lin Mu too, hoped for it all to work out. After all, it was also his first time watching the birth of a Peak Grade Immortal Weapon.

'If I get to see the birth of a weapon spirit, I would be able to apply it to my own weapons too.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

And after a minute of uncomfortable wait, it happened.

~WOONG~

The Double Headed Battle Axe vibrated in the air at a high speed and absorbed all the Immortal Qi as well as the Light Dao Traces in an instant. The vortex of Immortal Qi above it disappeared and so did the swirling Light Dao Traces.

The Double Headed Battle Axe shifted its position and stood vertically in the air.

~gulp~

Everyone watched with bated breaths, as the Axe let out a sound.

"I…" A voice was heard.

"I am…" Faint words echoed.

"I am… Axe…" The words became clear.

"I am… THE FLASH CLEAVE AXE!" A loud voice was suddenly heard.

Hearing it, all the juniors watching were left with wide eyes.

"The Axe spoke! IT SPOKE!"

"It has also gained a weapon spirit!" Everyone was greatly excited.

But no one was more excited than the Two head elders. The quest that they had set out to finish had finally been accomplished. This made them greatly relieved, and they felt a sense of pride filling their hearts.

"The Serene Glass Valley's name will once again be known in the Dao Wind Continent!" Head Elder Dajian proclaimed.

Head Elder Heng nodded his head and glanced at their creation.

"Since you have picked a name for yourself, will you also pick your owner now?" Head Elder Heng questioned.

~Humm~

The Axe didn't reply to him and instead turned horizontal.

~WHOOSH~

It flew around the hall before coming to a stop above someone.

"Daoist Mu Lin…" Everyone watched the event, feeling surprised.

Lin Mu too looked up at the Axe, his breath uneven.
