Lin Mu's understanding of the Flash Cleave Axe and the Formations on it improved a lot after seeing it live in action.
'So that's what the multiple strengthening formations were for… they might not give a multiplicative boost, but when combined with the ability of the Flash Cleave Axe to stockpile the energy upon use, and on impact, it can continue to gather power.' Lin Mu analyzed.
~BOOM~
After a hundred swings, the Flash Cleave Axe underwent a change.
~HUALA~
Its size suddenly grew, as a solid light construct formed around it. It grew the size of the Flash Cleave Axe by over eight times, and made it over fifteen meters long!
"There it is!" Head Elder Dajian exclaimed.
"Ahahah! It works! It works!" Head Elder Heng jumped with joy.
They were finally getting to see the fruit of their hard work, and as such, they were rather happy.
And as they watched the Axe, it finally showed its power.
Xiao Yang swung the giant solid light Axe, and struck the barriers, shattering twenty of them in one go!
~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~ BOOM~
Doing something like this would be very difficult normally, and yet a single swing of the Flash Cleave Axe was enough when its weapon skill was used.
~RUMBLE~
The formation arrays of the forge started to move, trying to repair the damage frantically. About fifty of the barriers had been broken at this moment, with some of them having recovered.
"That's enough." Lin Mu spoke, thinking that it wouldn't be good to cause any more damage.
~Humm~ is the owner.
The Flash Cleave Axe calmed down and Xiao Yang stopped channeling his Immortal Qi into the weapon.
"I like it." Xiao Yang spoke, his voice bursting with excitement.
"Mmhmm, it does work well with you." Now that Lin Mu had seen it first hand, the power of the Flash Cleave Axe was certainly worth its rank.
~clap~clap~clap~
"Amazing!" The Head Elders praised.
The two Head Elders clapped their hands, feeling impressed by both their creation as well as its new master. Even if it were a beast, they didn't think any less of it. In fact, they felt a bit scared of the snake.
'To have such power in a form as small as that… It is certainly an immortal beast but I cannot sense its cultivation base.' Head Elder Dajian thought as he gazed at Xiao Yang.
The same was the case for Head Elder Heng, as he too didn't know what was the cultivation base of the snake.
"What is the name of the Weapon Skill of the Flash Cleave Axe?" Lin Mu asked as he knew it was something they had created newly.
The arrangement and combination of the formation arrays was entirely new, as such, it was up to the creators of the weapon to name it.
Even the Flash Cleave Axe wouldn't decide on this. It might be able to pick out its name, but the weapon skill came through the work of the formation master who worked on it along with the Weapon forger.
"The Weapon Skill shall be called, Flash Breaker." Head Elder Heng stated while Head Elder Dajian simply nodded in approval.
It was clear that the two had decided on the name a long time ago. This was understandable, as making a Peak Grade Immortal Weapon took a lot of planning and preparation. There was a high chance the blueprint for the Axe as well as the formations used in it were written hundreds of years ago.
And since then, the two head elders have just been practicing in order to be able to achieve their goal.
"Flash Breaker… it is a suitable name." Lin Mu nodded his head in agreement.
After their ancestor who had created the Tearing Glass Claws, the two head elders were the second people in the Serene Glass Valley to have obtained the achievement of creating a Peak Grade Immortal Weapon.
It was a great thing, and would soon be known across the entire Rust Sky World.
The creation of a new Peak Grade Weapon was more than enough for all the powers in the world to pay attention to it. This basically meant that the power of that organization had increased further which would change the balance of powers.
If not for the fact that the Continents were united under the three empires, it would have been enough for a war to start.
For an accomplishment like this, the Imperial Family would also reward the Serene Glass Valley.
Of course, the question of who would own the Peak Grade Immortal weapon was already answered. There was no way they could give it to anyone else now.
Or rather, even if they wanted to, they had no option. The Flash Cleave Axe had already picked its master and getting it to change its mind was impossible.
Lin Mu also knew this and decided to talk about it.
"Head Elders… about the payment of the Flash Cleave Axe…" Lin Mu spoke. "Since it has already taken Xiao Yang as its master, I think I am obligated to pay its cost. How much would it be?" He asked.
"A cost for the Flash Cleave Axe?" The two Head elders were stumped too.
Honestly, they had no idea what they would be charging for it.
They didn't know if they would be succeeding or not, as such they hadn't thought this far ahead. Not to mention, how were they to know that the Flash Cleave Axe would pick a master right away after being created?
"If we went through the usual proceedings, there would first be an announcement and then the Imperial Court would give an offer. We of course also have the chance of keeping it to ourselves, but that is not the option here." Head Elder Dajian explained.
"If you could quote me a price, I can pay you for it." Lin Mu stated. "How about a Million High Grade Immortal stones?" He offered.
"A million High Grade immortal stones?" Head elder Heng repeated.
