Xuantian smiled and said, "Big Black, Junior Brother Xiaofeng, you are also my master's disciples. Do you know the name of this weapon?"
Little Black looked at the weapon on the stone platform and thought carefully for a moment before shaking his head. "I don't think I've ever seen this kind of weapon before, and I haven't seen Uncle Xuanwu forge anything similar while on the island."
Liu Guanfeng stepped forward to take a closer look at the weapon. He noticed that this object, which did not resemble a sword, had a streamlined shape. "Xuantian, if I'm not mistaken, these two weapons are a set and are very suitable for underwater combat. Am I right?"
Xuantian nodded. "Junior Brother Xiaofeng is indeed knowledgeable. Just one glance and you can identify the advantages of this weapon."
Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly. "These two weapons are called Water Piercers, and they are very suitable for women to use. They are lightweight and primarily rely on agility and finesse for attacks. Due to their streamlined design, they can exert great power in water, while other weapons struggle against water resistance."
"Haha, Junior Brother is truly impressive. If it weren't for my master telling me the name of this weapon, I wouldn't have known it was called Water Piercer. And what you said about its function is absolutely correct, Junior Brother. Today, I will hand this weapon over to you, and my task will be considered complete. Finally, I'm free; I can go find my master now."
"Alright, Xuantian, I'll take this weapon."
"Yes, the small box in front contains the techniques for Water Piercer that my master specifically wrote."
Liu Guanfeng walked up to the small wooden box, picked it up, and opened it. Inside was a book filled with techniques for Water Piercer along with some illustrations. After glancing through the techniques, Liu Guanfeng placed the book back into the small wooden box and stored it in his Cosmic Bag before gripping the handle of Water Piercer.
"Be careful, Junior Brother; this Water Piercer is very sharp. Once, I touched it and cut my hand."
"Thank you for the warning, Senior Brother. I'm holding it by the handle now, so I won't get hurt." Liu Guanfeng held Water Piercer in his hand and performed a floral thrust; the entire Water Piercer pressed against his arm. Originally cold to the touch, after Liu Guanfeng held it, he felt no chill coming from it. In contrast, after Liu Guanfeng performed the floral thrust, Xuantian and Little Black remarked that it felt extremely cold.
After smiling briefly, Liu Guanfeng carefully placed Water Piercer in a corner of his Cosmic Bag to prevent it from damaging other items.
"Junior Brother, there are still many weapons crafted by the masters here. You should take them all; I believe you will find them useful."
"Then I won't be polite," Liu Guanfeng said. He knew that these Turtle warriors didn't actually need weapons; their sharp teeth and claws were their true weapons. Liu Guanfeng stored each weapon rack into his Cosmic Bag, and once all the racks were put away, the previously empty Cosmic Bag was now filled to the brim.
The entire stone chamber became spacious. "Xuantian, may I stay in this stone chamber for a few days? I want to study the usage of this Water Piercer."
Xuantian nodded. "Alright, we will wait for you outside. If you get hungry, just come out; I will prepare food for you."
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Liu Guanfeng bowed to Xuantian.
Xuantian left the stone chamber with Little Black and xp. After closing the stone door, Xuantian said to Little Black and xp, "Junior Brother is quite a peculiar one; he just finished cultivating and immediately went back to it. No wonder he has achieved so much at such a young age."
xp looked up. "You know why I don't want to switch with you, right? With such a master around, you'd feel embarrassed to slack off."
"Switch? What are you two talking about?" Little Black asked, looking confused.
Xuantian chuckled and recounted how he had planned to have Liu Guanfeng as his Mount. After he finished, Little Black laughed so hard that he rolled on the ground.
"I didn't expect Xiaofeng to have such good relationships; even a Ninth-Stage Beast and a Divine Beast are eager to be his Mounts, and they want to be contracted as slaves too. I really don't know what you two are thinking."
Upon hearing Little Black's words, Xuantian approached him with a mischievous grin. "Since that's the case, Big Black, shall we switch?"
Little Black's expression darkened at Xuantian's question. "Switch? I'm not that bored."
At that moment, xp came to Xuantian's side. "Although it doesn't say anything, you can see that even Little Black likes being around my master. That shows my master's charisma."
Little Black turned its head to the side as if it hadn't heard XP's words at all.
In the stone chamber, Liu Guanfeng took out the Water Piercer again and examined it closely. On the handle of the Water Piercer were two characters: Ice Phoenix. This must be the name given to this Water Piercer by Xuanwu.
Both Water Piercers were engraved with this name, and above the name was an inconspicuous small bump. Additionally, there was a circle of fine knots beneath the handle. Liu Guanfeng frowned at this: If this really is the work of Xuanwu Master, there shouldn't be such large cracks, and what is that small bump above the name?
Liu Guanfeng did not rashly touch these areas but instead took out the techniques for the Water Piercer. When Liu Guanfeng seriously opened the first page, everything became clear.
The first page stated that Ice Phoenix is a pair of Water Piercers designed for underwater combat, with an overall style that is light and agile. If paired with the Lightness Skill, it would yield twice the result with half the effort. Each Ice Phoenix is four feet long and made from deep-sea cold iron mixed with other Water Attribute ores, taking two years to forge successfully. Its body is cold and suitable for users with Water Attribute; the cold power does not harm its wielder.
Above each Ice Phoenix's name is a bump that, when pressed, will shoot out the pointed tip of the Ice Phoenix. A chain connects to the tip, and after shooting it out, turning the tail will automatically retract it.
Detailed usage instructions will follow; disciple, please use it carefully.
Liu Guanfeng thought: How could Xuanwu Master know that whoever uses this weapon must be his disciple? But then he realized it made sense; Xuanwu could be considered a master of formations and also an expert in fortune-telling.
Liu Guanfeng turned to the second page, which depicted a person wielding dual tips with a note below. Tidal Piercing Technique: First Move: Separation of the Sea; Second Move: Submerged Dragon; Third Move: Leaping Dragon in the Sea; Fourth Move: Turbulent Waters; Fifth Move: School of Dragons; Sixth Move: Giant Dragon Turns the Sea.
In these several pages of technique introductions, there were only six moves. Although there were few moves, each set had different combinations, and all combinations together formed thirty-six techniques. The variations were numerous; every time Liu Guanfeng read a page, he recalled them in his mind. Gradually, he began to evolve many new techniques from these six moves, and as he continued reading, he became increasingly astonished.
Whoever uses this Water Piercer would need to be fully alert when facing him because the techniques of this Water Piercer are too exquisite.
After finishing reading the techniques, Liu Guanfeng slowly practiced with the Water Piercer in the stone chamber for an entire week. Aside from meal times, he spent all his time practicing in that stone chamber. After a week, Liu Guanfeng emerged from the stone chamber and saw Xuantian and Little Black waiting outside. He felt quite apologetic; during this time, all his focus had been on practicing with the Water Piercer. In this week, not only had Liu Guanfeng mastered the six moves of Tidal Piercing Technique, but his skills with Twin Iron Halberds had also greatly improved, making them more flexible to use.
"I'm sorry for keeping everyone waiting for so long. Today I'll cook a sumptuous barbecue feast for everyone."
Little Black chuckled, "I was just waiting for you to say that. What are you hesitating for? Let's get started."
Liu Guanfeng immediately set up the fire to start grilling, while Turtle had already gone to the storage room to bring back a large amount of seafood. Liu Guanfeng began grilling various kinds of seafood.
An hour later, a sumptuous barbecue feast was laid out in front of everyone. The only thing left to do was simple: eat. Xuantian, Little Black, xp, and several of Xuantian's children were devouring the food grilled by Liu Guanfeng without even lifting their heads. Ever since they had tasted food cooked over fire, they had lost interest in raw food. Moreover, Liu Guanfeng's grilling skills were exceptional; these magical beasts didn't care whether the food had bones or spines, as they left nothing behind after eating.
To express his apologies, Liu Guanfeng didn't eat a single bite himself and acted as a diligent grill master instead. Various seafood were grilled in turns until the little ones could eat no more. By that time, Liu Guanfeng had also exhausted his strength and simply put some leftover grilled fish into his mouth to satisfy his hunger.
The next morning, after breakfast, Liu Guanfeng said to Xuantian, "Brother Xuantian, we've been bothering you for quite some time now. I think we should leave today."
"You're leaving already? Why not stay a bit longer?"
Liu Guanfeng shook his head. "Brother, I came out this time for training. If the timing is right, I will return. Besides, weren't you planning to look for Xuanwu Master a few days ago?"
"That's fine too. Once you leave, I'll make arrangements to leave as well. Do you know where Master is?"
"From here, head northeast; there is a place called Four Sacred Islands. Master is in the middle of the Four Sacred Islands, in the Four Sacred Valleys."
"Got it. Next time we’ll meet at the Four Sacred Islands."
"Absolutely."
"If I leave here, I will have Xuan'ao take charge here. If you need anything, just come find him."
"Thank you, Brother. I will."
"Xuan Guang, Xuan Kuo, and Xuan Nian, your Shishu will be leaving soon, and you three are responsible for escorting them all the way to the Great Six, which has been forgotten by the Supreme Deity, before returning."
Three Ninth Tier peak Turtles approached: "We understand, Father."
After lunch, Liu Guanfeng, Little Black, and xp arrived at the cave entrance they had entered. Xuantian accompanied them with his group of descendants.
Liu Guanfeng turned around: "Xuantian Shixiong, we will see you again at the Four Sacred Islands."
"Big Black, Xiaofeng Shidi, and xp, I wish you all a swift end to your training. Be careful."
"Shixiong, we are leaving." "Take care, Xuantian Shidi." "See you later, Xuantian."
After bidding farewell to Xuantian, Liu Guanfeng jumped into the sea, followed by Little Black, xp, and the three Turtles including Xuan Guang.
Soon, one person and five beasts emerged from the surface of the sea. The three Turtles quickly enlarged their bodies to five or six meters in size. Then, Liu Guanfeng, Little Black, and xp each mounted a Turtle. Liu Guanfeng said to Xuan Guang: "Xuan Guang, we are heading to the Great Six that has been forgotten by the Supreme Deity."
"The three of you, my esteemed Shishu, please hold on tight. It will take nearly a week to reach the Great Six from here. We are setting off now."
The three large Turtles carried Liu Guanfeng straight towards the Great Six forgotten by the Supreme Deity. As they traveled, Liu Guanfeng wondered what kind of opportunities and challenges he would encounter during this journey.
