Chapter 379: 379
"Dang!"
Inside the room, Lu Sheng lightly flicked the Immortal Radiance's blade .
He just finished the three rituals required, and unlike the Wei River Sword, Immortal Radiance somehow absorbed all of it without much trouble . Lu Sheng felt even more confident about the Divine Weapon after that .
Blood Ritual, Ceremonial Ritual, Mind Ritual .
He only used True Qi and nothing else during the Ceremonial Ritual, and only used one tenth of the normal requirement during the Mind Ritual . Hence, in reality, the three rituals were actually not complete . That was Lu Sheng's plan all along as he wasn't about to fully accept an unknown Divine Weapon from Su Ningfei, who probably had some malicious intention .
"Aside from a single knife move there was nothing else, probably because of the incomplete Mind Ritual . Immortal Radiance knife… Immortal Radiance knife… Yet this is a Divine Weapon without a mind?" Lu Sheng stroked the cloud pattern on the long knife .
"The knife's natural power is Radiant Ray . It will release a kind of light called Radiant Ray, and everyone who sees it will fall into a brief period of unconsciousness, during which time, the wielder can do anything to them .
"A very dominant power for sure, worthy of the Golden Leaf grade . But…" Lu Sheng thought back to when Su Ningfei had handed him the knife . Her eyes had a hidden scorn within it . If it hadn't been for his extremely acute senses, he wouldn't have noticed it .
"There must be something wrong with this knife . " Lu Sheng stabbed the knife back into the ground and quietly stared at it from the side . "As I recall from the previous records I studied, a Divine Weapon without a mind shouldn't exist . According to the Prime Devil Sect's record, our ancestral masters had discovered that any power a Divine Weapon or Devil Blade possesses is simply a projection of its mind .
"Which means, if Immortal Radiance has the Radiant Ray ability, it must also have its own mind . "
Suddenly, the Wei River Sword hanging on the wall said in a solemn voice, "Lu Sheng, where did you get this Divine Weapon from?"
"What? Is there a problem with this knife?" Lu Sheng finally remembered there was an ancient Divine Weapon who had lived for thousands of years and managed not to die .
"Yes there is, and a very serious one at that!" The Wei River Sword's tone was serious . "This bright and positive air on the outside is hiding a scent of evil . This isn't a Devil Blade or a Divine Weapon—it might very well be an Evil Weapon!"
"Evil Weapon?" Lu Sheng blanked . "What is that?"
"Something that could bring disaster to all lives, a weapon that shouldn't exist in this world," the Wei River Sword explained . "If you don't have urgent need of it, I suggest you sell it immediately . Every Evil Weapon will bring its own unique kind of trouble . Even though it might possess great power .
"If I was still in my full form, our bond could prevent you from bonding with any other Divine Weapon . Yet, my body was shattered…"
In reality, Lu Sheng's bond with the Wei River Sword was only a bond with a Minor Divine Weapon, basically the same as wielding weapons with embedded Divine Weapon shards . The only difference was the increased power .
But Immortal Radiance was truly a Divine Weapon in its full form, and had accepted Lu Sheng as its master after the three rituals .
"Never mind . I can't find anything wrong with this knife for now anyway, might as well use it . " Lu Sheng was never someone to worry too much about consequences . In his view, there was no such thing as "evil" power—it was all determined by the person who wielded it .
The important thing to do during this free time was to inspect in detail how much Mental Energy the Wei River Sword and the knife Immortal Radiance possessed .
He hadn't forgotten one of the crucial reasons why he'd bought a Divine Weapon in the first place .
Taking the Wei River Sword off the wall, Lu Sheng lightly stroked the blade inch by inch, suppressing the natural power of the Divine Weapon emitting from it with his mind .
As the Divine Weapon's power grew weaker, another strange energy was slowly exposed as he expected .
"There really is Mental Energy here! Luckily, I was right . " Lu Sheng felt ecstatic . He slowly closed his eyes and started to absorb this mysterious energy .
"Hiss… . "
Slivers of Mental Energy quietly flowed into Lu Sheng's body through the Wei River Sword .
He happened to have spent all his Mental Energy that he had stored not long ago . The energy within the sword was like clear water flowing into a dessert, quickly being absorbed by Lu Sheng's body to refill its storage .
The Wei River Sword felt very weird after being stroked so passionately by Lu Sheng, yet he felt a slight change on his blade . He knew Lu Sheng wouldn't waste his time on pointless endeavors . This mysterious wielder was stronger and more mysterious than any other he'd had before . At the end, he simply retracted his mind and decided to go to sleep in a deeper part of the blade .
The absorption of Mental Energy lasted a full one hour . By the time Lu Sheng regained awareness of his surroundings, it was dark outside .
"Deep Blue . " He called out the Cheating Device without any hesitation to check how much Mental Energy he absorbed .
The light blue window popped up in the middle of his view . The "evolve" and "improve" button was everywhere he looked .
He roughly estimated how much Mental Energy he had by taking into account the amount needed for his previous evolution of True Qi techniques and Devil technique such as the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil way .
"At least 300 units… A steady flow, not a bad harvest . " Not as much as he had imagined, but still a substantial amount . Lu Sheng was content . He lightly put the Wei River Sword on his back, then looked at the knife Immortal Radiance on the ground .
The sky had turned dark . The body of Immortal Radiance emitted a faint, ghostly blue light, and seemed to have taken on a pale, cold texture . It was uncomfortable to even look at .
Lu Sheng approached and gripped the hilt . He didn't feel any existence of Mental Energy .
He frowned, then touched the blade of the knife .
Still no Mental Energy .
