Chapter 38: It's just a coincidence.

Back to the Dandelion Village, be it adults or children, all of the villagers were startled awake by the disturbance outside.

The entire village was shrouded in billowing gales, along with the barking of dogs and cries of the livestock.

Everyone was thoroughly shocked and frightened when they witness the anomaly in the sky, thinking that it was the sign of an incoming disaster.

However, the illusory image of the spear was too large and high above. The thought that someone in their village caused such a phenomenon never crossed the villagers' minds.

In the house's messy backyard,

"This Heavenly Phenomenon..." Mu Suyin revealed a sharp but troubled expression as the turbulent wind sent her black and grey hair fluttering in a disordered motion.

"It's undoubtedly the birth of a Spear Soul. But, how strange..."

When something precious comes into being, aside from a heavenly phenomenon, especially something like a Weapon soul, it would be followed by a Lighting of Heavenly Retribution.

In normal circumstances, there is no exemption!

Only if the Weapon Soul managed to endure the Lighting of Heavenly Retribution successfully would it fully take form.

In contrast, there is only one outcome in case of failure, and that's being obliterated from existence.

It's one of the principal laws of the world that has remained for millions of years despite many great eras of man's civilizations facing constant destructions.

However, there was none at the moment!

In the sky, it was clear and bright.

There is not even a speck of lighting.

It was as if this Spear Soul just appeared out of thin air.

Not to mention that the conditions required for the creation of a Weapon Soul are very demanding and shouldn't be something that appeared in a Third-tier power.

Generally,

A Weapon's Soul would only appear when a Divine Smith successfully forged an unparalleled weapon along with the sacrifice of their own life and soul.

Compared to the first method, the other condition was a continued accumulation of understanding and bond of a cultivator and their weapon to the extreme over a long, long time.

Although there are countless spearmen compared to the rarely seen Divine Smith, which is rare even in a Seventh-tier power, the difficulty of giving birth to a Spear Soul's not any easier.

While Mu Suyin gazed at the anomaly in the sky, the levitating pieces of her broken spear never stopped humming as it levitates mid-air.

'Ha, this familiar buzzing cries sure brings back the forgotten memories...'

The broken spear's name was <Void Judge>, her once most treasured weapon.

However, it was ultimately destroyed after Mu Suyin gets ambushed and dragged into the battle more than half a year ago.

It was a hefty price to pay, not to mention that she almost died.

Furthermore, the little spirituality that it painstakingly accumulated for several hundred years has already scattered.

Now, this former Transcendental Rank weapon was nothing more than a remnant of a 'corpse.'

'Sigh...'

As she looked at the now broken spear, Mu Suyin reminisced about a few old memories and sighed with regrets.

Shortly, the anomaly in the sky ended.

Just like how it has abruptly appeared with no warning, it also disappeared as sudden.

The turbulence gales calmed down while the illusory shape of the gigantic spear dissolved into light sparkle.

Everything becomes normal as the dark clouds formed once again, and perhaps they are even thicker than previously.

Like a closed black curtain after a splendid performance, the rolls of thunder clouds blocked out the moons and stars before droplets started pouring.

The downpour was heavy, and in no time, countless rain droplets come crashing down on the roofs of the Dandelion Village's abodes.

Naturally, as the anomaly of the Spear Soul disappeared, the broken <Void Judge> also dropped onto the ground, motionless. It couldn't be any more dead. After she carefully buried it under the foot of the apple tree, Mu Suyin walked back inside.

"His spirit energy has been stabilized..." As she looked at the soundly asleep Myah, Mu Suyin's thought was storming.

It would be a lie to say that Mu Suyin wasn't interested in the Spear Soul as a spear fanatic.

Just based on the location of the anomaly, she already determined that it should be somewhere near.

'If I could get it for Myah, even if he doesn't have the talent to learn the way of the spear, it wouldn't even be a problem.' While Mu Suyin was in deep thought, a sudden spark jolted through her mind as she looks at Myah weirdly.

Previously, the anomaly of the Spear Soul has fully occupied her mind.

However, now that Mu Suyin had calmed down and analyzed everything carefully, she remembered about Myah's strange circumstances earlier.

'Now that I think about it, his unexplained deficiency of Spirit Energy happens just before the heavenly phenomena in which the Spear Soul appeared...'

"..."

"This...it couldn't be, right? Hahaha, yeah, too many things happen today, and I'm definitely reading too much into it." Suppressing her silly imagination, Mu Suyin sat on a wooden chair and began to cultivate.

"It's just a coincidence." She thought.

Accompanied with the end of the anomaly was the restless hearts of many.

Under the gloominess of the night sky, a deep undercurrent was silently lurking in the dark.

"With the appearance of the Spear Soul, we are bound to attract the attention of the other surrounding kingdoms and hidden powers. what do you think of this, Cecilia?"

Walking through a long corridor in the back of the Royal Palace was a handsome-looking middle-aged man with dark green hair. It was none other than Arden Von Evergreen, the current King of the Mobius Kingdom.

In his grasp was an intricately designed spear shrouded in a burning golden aura.

Without a doubt, it was the famed <Mighty Dragon Fang> a Semi-Transcendental Rank weapon. The heirloom of the royal family.

Beside him stood two other people, a sensual woman dressed in tight-clothed assassin armor and a white-haired elder dressed in a mage's loose robe.

Observing the back figure of Arden contemplated at the garden, the charming woman named Cecilia spoke, "Now is not the time, the anomaly of the Spear Soul come and gone too sudden, we don't know its exact location..."

After pausing for a moment, she gazed in a specific direction and continued. "Since we only know the general direction from the anomaly which indicates the Spear Soul appeared near the Eflo Woodland, it's not too late to organize our plan further after sending out some scouts to investigate. Perhaps, we can even post a notice at the Adventure Association."

"I agreed." Holding onto his exquisite-looking staff, the white-haired elder voiced his opinion. "Although I have never witnessed the birth of a Weapon's Soul up close, based on the tales passed down from legend alone, it would never be easy to obtain such treasure. Not to mention that it could potentially belong to an influential expert who passed through the Kingdom. We shouldn't make any rash moves."

"..."

"You are right, Elder Oden." Clenching onto the spear in his hand, Arden spoke as he calmed down his restless heart. "Obtaining a peerless treasure has never been easy. We will stand by and silently observe this murky water for a while."

After numerous trials and battles to ascend to the throne, Arden's temperament was not ordinary, and he is relatively cautious.

Although he greatly longed for the Spear Soul, Arden still restrained himself from any rash action.

Then, with a mysterious smile, he gazed at the numerous messenger birds soaring through the sky.

"It sure is lively as of late. We should do a few cleaning sessions."
