Qin Wuya slowly closed his palm.
He lowered his hand, turned around, and faced the expectant eyes of Qin Hao and Chen Xiaoyun. He was silent for a moment.
Then he let out a sigh:
"I found nothing."
Hearing this, Qin Hao was stunned:
"Huh? No way, Old Man. You made such a huge commotion, even affecting the past and future, and you came up with nothing?"
Qin Wuya nodded solemnly:
"Yes, and that's the scariest part. There's definitely a big conspiracy behind this!"
Qin Wuya narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Xiaoyun for a long while before asking:
"What did your Chen family cook up?"
Chen Xiaoyun glanced deeply at Qin Wuya, then took a deep breath. She decided to take a gamble.
From her storage pouch, Chen Xiaoyun pulled out a blueprint:
"Senior, take a look. This is a device designed by my family to enhance combat power."
"With this device equipped, even an ordinary immortal can burst forth with the combat strength of an Immortal King."
Hearing this, even Qin Wuya, with all his composure, widened his eyes:
"What?! Just wearing this device can let an immortal unleash Immortal King-level combat power? Are you sure?"
"Can this thing be mass-produced?"
At that, Chen Xiaoyun showed an awkward expression:
"Mass production isn't possible yet, because its core is Chaos Stone. You must know better than me, Senior, how rare Chaos Stone is."
Qin Wuya was silent for a moment, then said: "So, this device of yours is basically a consumable item."
Chen Xiaoyun nodded: "The Chaos Stone core is a consumable, but the device itself isn't. Just replace the Chaos Stone."
Qin Wuya frowned. After a long while, he spoke:
"That shouldn't be. Your family's invention is decent, but honestly, I don't think much of it."
"Immortal King? I have a hundred ways to make an immortal temporarily wield the power of an Immortal King. Only a small family like yours would treat such a gadget as a treasure."
As he spoke, Qin Wuya stared at Chen Xiaoyun with a scrutinizing gaze, feeling that this young woman was still hiding something from him.
And that part of the secret was sealed off by some heavenly mechanism—he couldn't even deduce it.
"The one who wiped out your Chen family was able to block my perception, which means their strength is no less than mine."
"Do you think someone on my level would care about your family's little toy? Young lady, is there something else you're keeping from us?"
Hearing this, Qin Hao also began to size up Chen Xiaoyun with a critical eye.
"Good for you! I'm pouring my heart out, and you're playing mind games with me!"
Qin Hao's words made Chen Xiaoyun's cheeks flush red to the tips of her ears. She quickly waved her hands:
"I... I'm not playing mind games."
"It's true. Besides this device, my Chen family had another major research project, but it was only half-finished."
Qin Wuya nodded: "Looks like the one behind all this is after that half-finished project of yours."
"Take it out and show me. What is it?"
Chen Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth. From the deepest part of her storage pouch, she carefully retrieved something.
It was a blade, densely covered with intricate array patterns etched into its surface.
"This is the Chen family's ultimate research. Grandfather said that if this thing succeeds, it will be unstoppable—any defense in front of it would be futile."
Qin Wuya examined it for a while, then furrowed his brow:
"The arrays are ordinary. The materials are ordinary too!"
He looked at Chen Xiaoyun in disbelief:
"Are you sure this is your family's ultimate research? It feels so mundane, not even as impressive as the device you showed me earlier—at least that one used Chaos Stone."
Chen Xiaoyun scratched her head awkwardly:
"Senior, I don't know how to explain it. This was researched by my Chen family's ancestors. I have no idea how to use it either."
Just then, Qin Hao took the blade from Chen Xiaoyun's hands.
"Double Pupils, activate!"
The moment his Double Pupils opened, the array patterns on the blade peeled away layer by layer, resolved step by step. Qin Hao infused spiritual energy into it, and as the arrays activated, he trembled all over.
"Is this thing even supposed to exist in the realm of cultivation?"
Seeing Qin Hao's reaction, Qin Wuya asked in confusion:
"Xiao Hao, what's wrong?"
Qin Hao took a deep breath and explained:
"Dad, Chen Xiaoyun is right. If this blade is completed, it truly can be unstoppable!"
"Look at these arrays. They're not any kind of weapon-enhancing patterns we've encountered. These arrays are for a coordinate-locking protocol."
"When the Y-axis and Z-axis in space are marked, the target space is forcibly pulled along those two axes into a single line—an infinitely small line, a one-dimensional space!"
"And look at the blade's edge. You might think it has no edge at all, but that's not the case. Its edge is a topological boundary in space."
"When spiritual energy activates the arrays, the blade edge unfolds a vacuum domain wall as thin as the Planck scale."
"This domain wall doesn't cut matter—it cuts 'degrees of freedom'!"
"Slap!"
Before Qin Hao could finish, Qin Wuya smacked him upside the head.
Qin Hao clutched his head and looked at Qin Wuya in confusion:
"Dad! Why did you hit me!"
Anger simmered inside him: Old man, just you wait. One day I'll mess with you the same way.
Qin Wuya snorted coldly:
"Stop mumbling nonsense! Speak human language!"
Qin Hao sighed and continued his explanation:
"Let me put it simply. A line moving creates a plane, a plane moving creates space—you get that, right?"
"Space is three-dimensional, a plane is two-dimensional, a line is one-dimensional. One-dimensional space is infinitely small. Even the tiniest thing you can imagine contains countless one-dimensional spaces."
Qin Wuya frowned: "So? What does this have to do with the weapon?"
"The blade's function is this: anything it strikes will have its lateral dimensions reset, forcing it to collapse into a one-dimensional string!"
"What that means is, if you're hit by this blade, no matter if you have an Immortal King's body, indestructible golden skin, or a Primordial Chaos Divine Armor."
"As long as that thing occupies three-dimensional space, the blade will erase its three-dimensional structure."
"To a powerhouse like you, Dad, who can alter the rules of the world, this blade would still be enough to give you a headache."
Qin Wuya scoffed: "I could just destroy the blade, couldn't I?"
Qin Hao smirked: "But what if you were the one holding it? A single swipe, and the enemy—without even sensing any spiritual energy fluctuations—would instantly collapse into one dimension."
"With that kind of surprise, even against an evenly matched opponent, they'd be at a huge disadvantage."
And most importantly, this weapon can be mass-produced! It can be put into the hands of everyone throughout the Three Realms and Nine Heavens!
