1384 Choice Of Immortal Weapons

Lin Mu gazed at the crystal wall finding eight weapons kept in it. Their forms kept flickering making it a bit hard to see them clearly. The water around the crystal kept on flowing, making the refractive index change continually.

Despite this, Lin Mu could vaguely tell that two of these weapons were bows, three seemed to be some kind of poles and the rest were blades.

"You don't need to be that disappointed though. As long as one uses these weapons, the time needed to develop and artifact spirit won't be that long." Xukong added. "I can sense that they've been nurtured for a very long time."

"I see… But it's not like I'll get to pick right? It's the weapons that will choose me." Lin Mu replied.

"If you want the best compatibility then yes, you need to let the weapon choose you. Though with your Sword intent, any sword should be compatible with you." Xukong stated.

Lanbao walked up to the crystal wall and placed her hand on it.

~SHUA~

Strings of runes connected to her palm and spread all over the crystal wall. Then a few seconds later, the front side of the wall retracted as if a showcase was being opened. This now allowed Lin Mu and Elder Niji to take a clear look at them all.

"These are all high grade Immortal weapons that have been nurtured by the Immortal Sapphire Nurturing case. They are the best high grade immortal weapons that are in the Deep Sapphire city and they have been here since the times of Ancestor Muxuan." Lanbao explained.

Elder Niji's eyes shone upon seeing them as a hint of familiarity appeared in his eyes.

"Isn't that… Ancestor Muxuan's personal immortal weapon?" Elder Niji's eyes locked onto a trident in the very center of the case.

"Yes! It was even used by him in the battles. He left it here after he found a peak grade immortal weapon for himself. But that weapon was broken in his final battle." Lanbao replied.

"What a pity… Still, this trident alone is proof that the legacy of the ancestor lives on." Elder Niji said with joy.

~HUM~

And just as he said that, the trident started shaking. A faint hum was heard before the trident turned to face Elder Niji.

~SHING~

Then in the next moment, it flew out of the case automatically and came to float in front of him.

~WUWUWUWU~

A faint sound could be heard coming from the trident, as it called out to Elder Niji.

"Hold it, the trident has already chosen you. It belongs to the leader of the tribe after all." Lanbao said with a smile.

~HUM~

Elder Niji wrapped his fingers around the trident's handle as a comfortable hum could be heard. Then, a string of energy rose from the trident and linked up with Elder Niji automatically.

"It formed a bond on its own?" Lin Mu raised a brow.

This was his first time seeing a weapon taking a master of its own choice.

"The Trident was forged from a claw of the Ancestral Beast and tempered personally by ancestor Muxuan. It is intricately linked with the Haima tribe and is even considered its symbol.

Even in the past Ancestor Muxuan used it as his personal weapon. Only in the most dangerous battles would he be forced to use the peak grade immortal weapon." Lanbao explained.

"I'll gladly take the mantle of the leader then." Elder Niji knew his duty couldn't end here.

"You already had it, Elder Niji. You were always the chief of the tribe." Lanbao chuckled as if it was obvious. "The trident wouldn't have chosen you otherwise. You even have the approval of the Ancestral Beast due to his aura being on you." She added.

"Ah yes! We did come in contact with it." Elder Niji now knew why it was so easy.

"But for you Lin Mu, you'll have to see which one is compatible." Lanbao gestured with her hands. "All of them are free for you to pick from."

"Alright… I'll try." Lin Mu said before pausing. "Wait… what am I supposed to do?" he asked.

"Just touch them with your Immortal sense. They are dormant right now and will awaken after you do that." Lanbao answered.

"I see…" Lin Mu closed his eyes and extended his immortal sense.

~shua~

It rose from his head and reached out to the seven weapons that were in the crystal case.

On the two extreme corners there were the bows, then on the right side there were two spears and on the left there were three blades.

Each of the weapons had different designs and styles too. For example, the first spear was a trident that Elder Niji took, the second spear was a slim spear that looked rather simple and the third was two sided spear with tassels hanging off it.

As for the blades, there was a large cavalry saber, a long one edged sword and a normal sized double edged sword.  In the case of the bows though, one was a long bow and the other was a short bow.

"Use your Sword intent, the swords should react." Xukong advised.

~SHING~

Lin Mu did exactly that and a sharp aura rose from his body. Elder Niji took a step back just to be careful. Even he wouldn't dare to be in the vicinity of free flowing sword intent.

~HUALA~

As soon as Lin Mu's sword intent was displayed, the two swords started to resonate. Only the cavalry saber didn't react since it wasn't a sword in the first place. To make it resonate as well, Lin Mu would need to have saber intent.

~SHING~ SHING~

In the next second, the two sword flew out from the case and came to float around Lin Mu.

"They both seem to like you." Lanbao said with a wide smile.

"They do indeed." Lin Mu was just about to take hold of the swords when he felt an aura.

~HONG~

All of a sudden, the bow shot out of the case and knocked away the swords!
