Chapter 302 - Forging a Weapon
After taking another sip of his wine flavoured river water, Yu Yu wiped his mouth with his sleeve, tilted his head, threw a sideways glance at Ji Hao and said, “Don’t look at your handsome Shifu like that…I’m still pretty far away from that level, I’m just much better than those Magi.”
After dropping the wine calabash, Yu Yu suddenly raised both of his hands. Following this, the three treasures, which had come out of Ji Hao’s body, began shaking simultaneously, while wisps of red light began gushing out from deep inside them, before turning into twisted spell symbols and dissipating quickly in the air.
“These weapons were made huge and heavy in the first place, and have been nourished by generations of Magi’s spirit blood, just like those Magi themselves, who only pay attention to physical strength and never cultivate their souls and spirits, these magic weapons became heavier and heavier, but without even the slightest trace of spiritual power inside them.”
“Eventually, the younger generations of Magi, such as you, can be accepted by these weapons as their owners but only as their owners. If you would want to use them as your ancestors had done, it would only become more and more difficult. Ji Hao, there is no possible way for you to manipulate these three treasures as freely and smoothly as your ancestors had done, even after you have become a Divine Magus, not to mention that you’re only a Senior Magus right now. After all, these magic treasures have already become so much…fatter, than what they looked like in the hands of your ancestors.”
Yu Yu had used the word ‘fat’ to describe the current state of these three treasures. Although that was a weird way to describe it, Ji Hao understood it quite easily. These three treasures had been nourished by generations of powerful Magi, causing them to become more and more powerful and heavy. As a result, their owners had to become more and more powerful as well in order to freely activate and manipulate them. Apart from becoming heavier, it had not grown a spiritual power inside it, which meant that they could only be activated by external powers and were not able to build a spiritual connection with their owners.
“More importantly, these treasures can only be activated by using your very own power. If you don’t have enough power, you would have to use your spirit blood, if you don’t have enough spirit blood as well…,” said Yu Yu while looking at Ji Hao seriously, “If you also lacked enough spirit blood, I assume, you would have to use the blood offering ceremony, right? Slaughter millions of living creatures and offer their blood to these treasures. Through this kind of ceremony, even Junior Magi could activate these treasures.”
Gasping deeply, the bloody scenes that happened every year when the Gold Crow Clan’s Maguspriests performed blood offering ceremonies, flashed across Ji Hao’s eyes. He then said to Yu Yu, “Dear Shifu, you’re right. Th elders have told me that if I wanted to use these three treasures in emergency situations, I could only activate them through the blood offering ceremony.”
“Therefore, the more powerful Magi, will get the worse outcomes,” said Yu Yu blandly, “Offering fresh blood to those treasures, all of which are human blood, ha, isn’t that ridiculous? You’re all human beings, but you offer the blood of your own kind to these treasures. Your humankind is the owner and ruler of this world, the more people you kill, the more blood you offer, the more sins you will have to carry. Eventually, you will destroy yourselves.”
Ji Hao remained silent. He understood Yu Yu’s words, however, as an ordinary human kid, he wasn’t expected to understand such things yet, which is why he chose to remain silent.
“Ah, the blood offering ceremonies…can be counted as the stupidest thing in the whole world.” Yu Yu murmured while slightly flicking all his fingers. Streams of muddy purple smoke spurted out of his fingers and clashed against the three treasures. In the meanwhile, countless spell symbols darted out from the three treasures, which were all shattered by Yu Yu’s fingers, and transformed into streams of pure firepower, darting back into the three treasures.
Ji Hao realized that Yu Yu was now shattering the heavy and swell shapes of the three treasures with some kind of magical method, transforming them back into their original shapes.
“For over hundreds of times, I wanted to rob your human ancestors for wasting good materials, but my big brother wouldn’t let me. Actually, I felt a bit awkward about that too, after all, I and your human ancestors were friends once,” said Yu Yu excitedly. “Today, I finally get to do what I have been wanting to do for thousands of years! Ji Hao, just watch this. I, your genius Shifu, will make you a genuinely good piece, with my own toolmaking skills!”
While Yu Yu’s finger flicked swiftly, the Yan Spear had already turned into ninety nine dazzling golden lights and the Gold Crow Armour had turned into a huge stream of flame, swooshing around in the air, while the Fiery Feather Boots became thousands of light, fiery feathers, rotating rapidly around Ji Hao and Yu Yu.
“The treasures I make won’t be troublesome to use, even if you are young and weak. You still will find a way to manipulate them, like that sun banner I have given you earlier. And if you want to release even more and stronger power contained in them, you won’t need to perform a blood offering ceremony, you can do that by using their own daily accumulations.”
