Shadow Pass

When everyone saw this giant door, they had actually already given up hope.

Seeing this messy scene, they lost even more interest.

There was even a hint of anger from feeling toyed with.

If you didn't want to open the armory, you didn't have to; no one had demanded it in the first place.

But using the pretense of opening it only to fool them with a pile of junk was just uncalled for.

However, the very next moment.

They noticed something unusual.

These swords, spears, halberds, and sabers, seemingly tossed on the ground like trash, each exuded a profound and terrifying aura.

Divine weapons possess a soul.

Suppressed by the auras of so many terrifying divine weapons, the natal weapons wielded by the crowd began to tremble simultaneously, and after trembling, they fell completely silent.

It was like a lively child who had just witnessed something horrifying and immediately shrunk their head in fear.

In an instant, the previously careless crowd widened their eyes, gasping in shock.

Whether they were sect masters, hidden experts, leaders of the demon realm, or lords of planets, all of them lost their composure without exception.

At this moment.

They looked like country bumpkins who had just entered the city.

They swore they had never seen so many divine weapons in their entire lives.

This... this, this, this, my eyes aren't playing tricks on me, right? an expert rubbed his eyes, completely losing the demeanor of a master he had just shown.

Indeed, every single divine weapon here is no worse than the natal weapon in my hand.

Look at that axe...

And look at that sword...

Exclamations of shock rang out endlessly.

Seeing this scene, Lu Dasheng, Lu Qingshan, and the others merely smiled faintly.

They had long expected these people to react this way.

Apologies, everyone. Because we have stored far too many weapons over the years, they haven't been arranged properly and seem a bit messy. I hope you won't take offense, Lu Qingshan said, clasping his hands in a martial salute.

As soon as these words fell, it immediately drew a wave of inward complaints from the crowd.

Any of the divine weapons here, if placed in their hands, would be something worthy of being enshrined. Yet, they were scattered around so haphazardly. This wasn't a messy arrangement; it was simply a reckless waste of heavenly treasures!

Elder Lu, may I ask, where exactly did your island get so many divine weapons? A planetary lord, tearing his dazzled eyes away, couldn't help but ask Lu Qingshan.

Hearing this.

The rest of the crowd also cast their gazes over.

This was exactly what everyone was wondering.

Lu Qingshan smiled faintly and said, Most of these weapons were forged by the Mister's direct disciple, Lord Fang Zaowu.

Forged directly? The man stared with wide eyes.

Lu Qingshan nodded calmly.

This instantly drew a wave of gasps from the crowd.

A divine weapon of this caliber, if forged by any blacksmith, would be enough for them to be hailed as a grandmaster in the forging world. For so many divine weapons to be forged by a single person, what level of forging skill must that person have reached? It was simply unimaginable!

May I ask about the other portion? someone else asked.

The other portion is quite terrifying, Lu Qingshan said solemnly. Those are the defective products the Mister forged during his free time back in the day. That row over there is...

As he spoke, everyone followed Lu Qingshan's gaze and saw dozens of divine weapons placed on the innermost rack.

Although every weapon forged by Fang Zaowu was a top-tier existence, they still paled somewhat in comparison to that row of weapons.

In truth, the crowd had already been drawn to this row of divine weapons earlier.

But these are the so-called defective products you mentioned?

Everyone, I believe the scene before you proves that what I said earlier was not false, right? Lu Dasheng looked at the shocked crowd and smiled faintly. Please believe that as long as we hold Shadow Island and wait for the Mister and the lords to return, this so-called alien race will surely crumble.

It is our knowledge that is shallow.

The crowd looked ashamed and bowed in respect.

At this very moment, they completely believed what Lu Dasheng had said before.

They also couldn't help but marvel that such existences actually lived in their galaxy, which gave them hope.

After all, the alien race that had suddenly appeared was like a massive mountain pressing down on them.

It hadn't been many years since they defeated the Demon Race, and now such a mysterious group of aliens had appeared. They didn't even know the enemy's background. How could they not be worried?

But if there were such experts, there was definitely hope of defeating the alien race.

Then may I ask Elder Lu, could we offer some treasures in exchange for one of these divine weapons?

At this time, one of the planetary lords said embarrassedly, Of course, we probably don't have anything on us that compares to these divine weapons, so your island might suffer a loss. But please rest assured, we will definitely assist everyone in guarding Shadow Island and await the return of the Mister you spoke of.

As his voice fell, the crowd in the room nervously turned their gazes toward Lu Qingshan and the others.

It was impossible to say they didn't want them.

If they could possess a divine weapon of this caliber, it was no exaggeration to say their combat power could multiply several times over.

Facing these eager gazes, Lu Qingshan stroked his beard and smiled.

There is no need for exchange. We opened this place precisely to repay everyone for your assistance.

Lu Qingshan laughed heartily. Therefore, you can freely choose any weapon that suits you. As for the rest, you are welcome to take them back and distribute them to the elite experts of your respective factions.

As Lu Qingshan's words fell, the crowd's eyes widened, and they all revealed expressions of excitement.

Such generosity, such a grand vision...

It thoroughly left these experts in awe!

We thank you deeply, and we will definitely guard Shadow Island with all our might.

In an instant, the invigorated crowd spoke in unison.

Lu Qingshan and the others also exchanged smiles.

Although they had privately given away these divine weapons forged by Yi Feng and Fang Zaowu, it was for the sake of better defending Shadow Island. They believed that even if Yi Feng and Fang Zaowu found out, they wouldn't blame them too much.

With the reinforcements of these experts, coupled with these divine weapons, they would have much more confidence in defending against the future attacks of the alien race.

Time flew by, and two years passed.

After Lu Qingshan and the others opened the armory, they also opened a portion of the Scripture Pavilion left behind by Yi Feng, within their authorized limits.

Elite disciples from various planets, sects, and factions were continuously sent inside to comprehend the Great Dao.

For a time.

Various geniuses rose up one after another, emerging endlessly.

The various planets and sects were united as one, and many people even shared their secret techniques that were never taught to outsiders.

With the integration of numerous techniques, combined with the forging methods of Ye Bei and others, as well as the reinforcement of various formations, a ten-thousand-foot-high wall was built around Shadow Island. It formed a tight defense against the portal suspended outside, becoming a natural fortress to intercept the alien invasion.

From then on, Shadow Island became known as Shadow Pass, and its fame spread throughout the stars of the heavens.
