"What the hell?!"
Mu Hongchen looked away from the Purple Gold Divine Thunder Hammer with a vacant expression, glanced at Mu Jinyu with a resentful look, and said unhappily, "You give me such a big hammer, how am I supposed to use it? Or are you saying you see Aunt Mu as a violent woman?"
Mu Jinyu said aggrievedly, "But I don't have many Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, only this one can be given away. Otherwise, look at these spiritual treasures, do you like any of them?"
He secretly complained in his heart that he should have asked his master to prepare a few more Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures for him, but that old man just refused. Those treasures were of no use to him anyway. Seriously...
As he spoke, he took out some superior and top-grade spiritual treasures and displayed them in front of Mu Hongchen, allowing her to choose.
Seeing a dazzling array of various spiritual treasures, Mu Hongchen also felt a bit overwhelmed.
If there weren't the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure as a benchmark, she would have thought these spiritual treasures were excellent. But after experiencing the spiritual charm of the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, she couldn't help but feel that although these spiritual treasures seemed not much different from the Purple Gold Divine Thunder Hammer, in reality, the gap was very obvious.
The purple gold hammer looked clumsy but seemed alive, very appealing, while these delicate and small spiritual treasures seemed lifeless, lacking the spiritual nature of the Purple Lightning Hammer.
"Is there a difference?" Mu Hongchen furrowed her brows and asked Mu Jinyu curiously.
"I feel like the difference is quite obvious; the purple hammer and the treasures we have on hand seem very spiritual..."
Xu Qingya looked at the Purple Lightning Hammer, then at her Five Beasts Spirit Fan, and finally frowned at those superior spiritual treasures, muttering.
Mu Jinyu explained, "What I gave you, as well as this Purple Lightning Divine Hammer, are all Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures with artifact spirits..."
Pointing to those superior spiritual treasures, he continued, "And these spiritual treasures do not have artifact spirits!"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.
Initially, they didn't know the difference between Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures and spiritual treasures, but now they understood that the difference between having an artifact spirit and not having one was significant, probably larger than the difference between a big brick phone and a smartphone!
Mu Hongchen realized that Mu Jinyu was trying to give her something good, but...
She looked at the heavy purple gold hammer and felt a sense of helplessness.
Wen Rou, not wanting Mu Jinyu to feel troubled, took out her Eight Desolations Cauldron and handed it to Mu Hongchen, saying, "Aunt Mu, here, take mine..."
"No, no, no..." Mu Hongchen snapped out of it and saw Wen Rou's sincere expression. She quickly shook her head, "How could I take your stuff? I was just joking with the Dragon Master. Actually, I quite like this hammer..."
As she spoke, she stepped forward, raised her hand to grasp the hammer handle, and struggled to lift it.
With significant effort, Mu Hongchen finally managed to lift the Purple Gold Divine Thunder Hammer, but her wobbling legs and trembling arms clearly indicated she was barely managing and couldn't even use it to fight.
Although Mu Hongchen had to manage the Dragon King Hall and neglected her cultivation, the Earth's environment had changed, and now her cultivation level had reached the Fifth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm. However, due to not undergoing body refinement, her pure physical strength was insufficient to wield the Purple Gold Divine Thunder Hammer as a weapon.
"Forget it..."
Mu Hongchen found it too exhausting. Although the purple gold hammer was good, it was evidently not something she could use, so she decided to give up and pick another top-grade spiritual treasure instead.
At this moment, Mu Jinyu reminded her, "Aunt Mu, actually, this hammer can shrink... you don't need to struggle like this."
Magic artifacts can enlarge and shrink, not to mention Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures.
However, Mu Hongchen rarely used magic artifacts and didn't understand these things. Seeing the Purple Gold Divine Thunder Hammer being taken out at over a meter long, with a hammerhead the size of five basketballs combined, she assumed that was its actual size.
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's reminder, Mu Hongchen couldn't help but give him a stern look and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier..."
After speaking, she poured her True Yuan into the purple gold hammer, intending to manipulate it to shrink.
She thought, if this hammer could shrink to the size of a mobile phone, it would be fun to use it to crack walnuts.
However, as Mu Hongchen poured her True Yuan into it, the purple gold hammer remained completely still.
"What's going on?" Mu Hongchen looked up at Mu Jinyu, puzzled and slightly irritated.
Mu Jinyu sighed, holding his forehead, "You have to first refine it into your magic artifact, just like a phone; without your fingerprint, how would you unlock it..."
"Uh... hehehe..."
Mu Hongchen felt extremely awkward hearing Mu Jinyu's words. After a few giggles, she struggled to hoist the purple gold hammer and tried to sneak away, planning to study it back home instead of staying there and embarrassing herself.
However, her strength was clearly insufficient to lift the hammer and make a clean getaway.
Mu Jinyu came over and said, "Let me help you."
With Mu Jinyu's assistance, even the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure was quickly refined by Mu Hongchen, and she started to feel a bloodline connection with the Purple Gold Divine Thunder Hammer.
Mu Jinyu said, "Aunt Mu, you need to refine and communicate with its artifact spirit daily. Only then can you and the artifact spirit become more compatible. Once you reach a certain level, even with your current Fifth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, you can smash someone at the Fifth Layer of the Fanxu Realm with a single strike!"
"Really? Is it that powerful?" Mu Hongchen was marveling at the mystical changes between herself and the purple gold hammer and couldn't help but be astonished hearing Mu Jinyu's words.
"Of course." Mu Jinyu smiled and said, "Generally, the magical artifacts I left behind before are only somewhat better than magic tools and are typically the exclusive weapons of cultivators in the Divine Transformation Realm. The spiritual treasures without artifact spirits are exclusive weapons for the mighty in the Fanxu Realm. Superior spiritual treasures are typically only obtainable at the Ninth Layer of the Fanxu Realm, while top-quality spiritual treasures are seldom available even for those in the Unity Realm Stage."
After a pause, Mu Jinyu continued calmly, "Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, on the other hand, are the exclusive weapons of the highest figures in the Kunlun Ruins! If you're not a powerful being in the late stage of the Unity Realm, you wouldn't even have a chance to touch them!"
"Is it that outrageous for such a supreme exclusive weapon to kill someone in the Fanxu Realm across a major realm with one blow?"
"Whoa, is it really that awesome?"
Mu Hongchen was utterly stunned after hearing Mu Jinyu's words.
If Mu Jinyu wasn't lying to her, then using the purple gold hammer with her Divine Transformation Realm cultivation to smash someone in the Fanxu Realm truly wasn't an exaggeration at all.
"Wait, didn't you say this was the Supreme Sect Leader's exclusive weapon? How do you... how do you have one or two..."
Mu Hongchen counted in awe, realizing Mu Jinyu's wives totaled six, adding his own mother, Su Zijin, made seven Heaven-reaching treasures already. Surely, Mu Jinyu himself had a Heaven-reaching treasure, and Jian Ruyan, who came back with him from the Kunlun Ruins, definitely possessed one. Adding in her own piece...
"How come you have ten pieces of Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures?! Are you lying?"
Mu Hongchen looked at Mu Jinyu with disbelief.
Gu Xiyan and the others were also surprised at the status of the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures mentioned by Mu Jinyu. After hearing Mu Hongchen's words, Gu Xiyan thought of a question and asked, "By the way, Jinyu, what is your current cultivation level?"
When Mu Jinyu returned earlier, they didn't have time to say much. Later, they learned that Wen Rou had broken through to the Fanxu Realm, so they assumed Mu Jinyu would be at a similar level and didn't probe further into the specifics of Mu Jinyu's cultivation.
Now upon understanding that only those at the late stage of the Unity Realm and above could acquire Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, she finally sensed something was off.
