Archean Eon Art

Chapter 129: Divine Armament Cavern

After placing the pills, Spirit Fruits, and other treasures in their cave abode secret chambers, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue had lunch before heading to Divine Armament Cavern.

Divine Armament Cavern’s entrance was somewhat hidden. It was inside the Divine Weapon Tower.

“Lord Meng Chuan, Lady Liu Qiyue.” The stewards and servants at Divine Weapon Tower were rather respectful. The white-haired old woman in the lead smiled, and said, “We have already received orders that the two of you can choose your armor or clothes. You can also enter the Divine Armament Cavern to choose a divine armament.”

“Let’s choose the clothes first,” said Meng Chuan. He had already discussed it with Liu Qiyue.

The white-haired old woman smiled as she handed a catalog to Meng Chuan. “Godfiends who are leaving the mountain can choose any one of them.”

The armor and clothes that Archean Mountain gave their disciples were extraordinary. They had powerful defensive abilities that protected them in battles below the Marquis Godfiend level! As for combat at the Marquis and Regis Godfiend levels, these precious armors were of little use. In such instances, Godfiends had to rely on themselves.

Human Godfiends had weaker bodies than demon monarchs. Wearing armor made up for this weakness.

“Outer robes, trousers, boots, inner armor, and a pair of bracers.” Meng Chuan pointed at a few items in the catalog. “These ones.”

“Is that all?” asked the white-haired old woman.

“That should be it.” Meng Chuan nodded.

Choosing a protective robe required a lot of consideration. It had an impact on speed and agility! It wasn’t as simple as getting armor with better defensive capabilities. The strongest armor in the catalog weighed 1950 kilograms! After putting it on, a person’s agility and speed would decrease drastically! If Meng Chuan wore it, he would probably have 10–20% of his normal combat prowess.

As for people who cultivated the Great Strength Fiend Body or Eon Sea Fiend Body, they were happy to choose such heavy armor.

Meng Chuan’s selection wasn’t even considered light armor. They were extremely tough robes! His strongest protections were the inner armor and the bracers. At critical moments, the bracers could be used as small shields.

Liu Qiyue’s choice was similar to Meng Chuan! As a sharpshooter, she was always a distance away from the enemy!

“Milords, please wait a moment,” said the white-haired old woman with a smile. She knew the two Godfiends’ measurements after a single glance and softly gave instructions.

After a while, two young stewards carried the robes and boots over.

“Milords, please try them out and see if they fit,” said the old woman.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue tried on the clothes in a small fitting room to the side.

Meng Chuan’s armor was considered extremely light amongst the various Archean Mountain Godfiend armor. His inner armor was the heaviest—weighing 4 kilograms. His bracers weighed 2.5 kilograms, and his pair of boots were roughly 1.5 kilograms. His outer robes and pants were nearly the same as mortal clothing. They were very light and convenient. However, their defensive power was much weaker.

After changing, the two of them walked out.

Liu Qiyue’s outfit was primarily red, complemented by cyan colors. She looked valiant and heroic. Meng Chuan’s outfit was mostly dark-cyan. His outer robe and boots were dark-cyan as well. Since their selected clothes were similar, they looked very compatible when they stood together with complementary colors.

Liu Qiyue walked to Meng Chuan’s side with a smile. She even helped Meng Chuan adjust his clothes and nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad.”

“Qiyue, you look pretty good too,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

The old woman’s smile couldn’t help but deepen.

“Milords, do you want to go to Divine Armament Cavern now?” asked the old woman.

“Ah Chuan, you go ahead first. I’ll go after you,” said Liu Qiyue. She knew the rules—only one disciple could enter Divine Armament Cavern at a time.

“Alright.” Meng Chuan didn’t disagree.

“Lord Meng Chuan, please follow me.” The old woman led the way.

Liu Qiyue also encouraged Meng Chuan. “Try your best to obtain a powerful divine armament.” Meng Chuan nodded and followed the old woman.

After passing through Divine Weapon Tower’s main hall, he walked along a winding corridor for a while before he saw a cave entrance. The entrance was closed.

“Lord Meng Chuan, there are divine armaments left behind by generations of Godfiends,” said the white-haired old woman. “Although divine armaments are powerful, their spirituality will weaken with time. There are Creation weapons that become Heaven-level weapons or even Earth-level weapons. Over time, even powerful divine armaments will turn to dust.”

Meng Chuan nodded. He also knew this.

Time was indeed heartless. Regis Godfiends only had 500-year lifespans. The strongest Creation realm experts had 2000-year lifespans! After countless years, invincible experts of an era would eventually turn to dust. The ninth level of the Essence Soul made a person, in theory, Eternal. However, Creation Supremacies typically reached the Essence Soul’s fifth or sixth level. The ninth level was purely a theory. Nobody had ever reached it.

Perhaps one day, an extremely talented expert would reach the Essence Soul’s ninth level and discover that they weren’t eternal.

Confirming that one could live eternally was the dream of many human experts.

In time, even a divine armament would turn to dust, let alone flesh and blood.

“However, it doesn’t matter if you obtain a Man-level divine armament,” said the old woman with a smile. “During cultivation—through prolonged nurturing—the weapon and person will become one. The more powerful a Godfiend is, the more powerful their weapons will become. It’s possible to transform a Man-level divine armament into a Creation divine armament.”

Meng Chuan listened despite knowing this common knowledge. This was something that had to be conveyed every time, just in case some disciples hadn’t read books containing such common knowledge.

“The human chooses a divine armament, and the divine armament also chooses its owner,” said the old woman. “Lord Meng Chuan, after entering Divine Armament Cavern, demonstrate your Saber Intent and Saber Soul. That will attract divine armaments. Lord Meng Chuan, you can only choose one divine armament.”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

Only then did the old woman step forward. She activated a mechanism, and—with a rumbling sound—the entrance opened.

“Please, Lord Meng Chuan,” said the old woman as she stepped aside. Meng Chuan entered Divine Armament Cavern solemnly.

Divine Armament Cavern’s entrance was rather dark. He walked for a while.

He saw a huge mountain belly. There were weapons embedded in the interior. Sabers, swords, lances, spears, axes, hammers, bows... All sorts of weapons were systematically placed in different areas, allowing the armaments’ vitality to complement each other. This allowed Archean Mountain to store divine armaments for longer periods.

First, let the divine armament choose the owner. Meng Chuan naturally understood this point.

He stood still.

Killing intent flashed in his eyes as a thirty-foot-tall saber projection enveloped Meng Chuan. The saber projection was a corporeal manifestation of his Saber Soul. It emitted terrifying killing intent.

Every Archean Mountain disciple had to reach the Realm of Soul if they wanted to become a Great Solar Godfiend. The Realm of Soul had high requirements on one’s willpower. They had to be able to reach the Darkness Altar’s summit.

Why did the Realm of Soul require a strong will? That was because one needed to fuse their will into their Intent. This way, their Intent would merge with their will and form a soul.

The core of Meng Chuan’s will was “demon-slaying.” He had sworn to kill all demons in the world. Even though he knew how difficult it was, he had never retreated. He only cared about advancing on this path. He only cared about fighting. Even if he died in battle, he had no regrets! He had Qiyue accompanying him on this path. She was willing to die with him.

Strong battle intent surged across the entire Divine Armament Cavern.

Meng Chuan had never stopped tempering his will. His powerful will was stirring the divine armaments in the cave.

Buzz—

One by one, the divine armaments began to tremble. Following that, they began to float up one by one. More and more sabers flew up. There were even a few swords that flew up! Perhaps the swords felt like Meng Chuan’s saber art could be used with swords.
