CHAPTER 284: CHAPTER 283: XIAO SHENG CAO BAO

Lu Ya left, and Nezha stared blankly at the oversized black giant sword in front of him.

The blade was as broad as a door, but the handle was too short, making it look like a one-handed sword.

"A heavy sword without a sharp blade, great subtlety through simplicity? But even though I know the Little Dragon Girl, I’m not the one-armed hero Yang Guo."

Nezha looked at the heavy sword in his hand. As Lu Ya had said, the sword had no hint of Daoist essence and did not hold any Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

But it felt icy cold in his palm. If not for Nezha’s robust body and his practice of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, he would have been frostbitten.

"It looks surprisingly ordinary." Zi Chen jumped out and said, "A Strong Interacting Force Knife—what a strange name. Since it was personally sent by a Quasi-Saint, it shouldn’t be this ordinary."

Strong Interacting Force.

Nezha took a breath, reluctant to believe it. Could it be that this sword was made of strong interaction material?

In this Divine Enthronement world?

Strong interaction material.

The last time Nezha heard this term was from a science fiction novel he read in the 21st century.

He took out his Fire-tipped Spear. This spear was also a Magic Treasure, capable of withstanding his strength in battle without breaking, and its material was extraordinary.

With the Fire-tipped Spear in his left hand and the black giant sword in his right, he brought them together.

Without making a sound, the Fire-tipped Spear was cut into two as if it were tofu.

"How is that possible?"

Zi Chen voiced his doubt again.

Because the black giant sword’s edge didn’t look particularly sharp, and it didn’t show any extraordinary characteristics during the clash, yet it effortlessly sliced through the Fire-tipped Spear that emitted mana fluctuations.

With a serious expression, Nezha picked the Fire-tipped Spear up from the ground and brought the two items together again.

The sword had cut through the end of the spear shaft the first time; now the black giant sword touched the metallic gleam of the spear’s front end.

Still, there was no sound.

The solid Divine Gold was effortlessly cut by the black giant sword, and Nezha barely exerted any force.

"Is it really made of strong interaction material?".

"You sure like to keep people guessing. The metal’s temperature is even lower than the Netherworld’s Xuanming Divine Iron. It’s really strange."

Nezha sighed and said, "It’s not strange. The molecules in this stuff are aligned like a ceremonial guard, interlocked tightly. Do you know how solid this interlocking is? The molecules are nailed together, their ambient vibrations cease, and that’s why its surface temperature is nearly absolute zero."

"Molecules? What are you talking about?".

Nezha said, "This is the pinnacle of scientific technology. Even in the world I came from, they never reached such a level of technology. Yet this thing appears in a mythological world where science isn’t advanced."

Unable to understand what Nezha was saying, Zi Chen, usually known for his broad knowledge, felt frustrated.

"Just think, with enough strength to wield it, perhaps nothing in this world could withstand it. Creating it is as hard as a mortal shooting a wooden arrow to the moon."

Zi Chen thought for a moment and said, "That’s simply impossible."

Nezha nodded, "I agree, it’s hard to understand who could create such a thing."

Zi Chen asked, "A Quasi-Saint was entrusted to deliver it to you. Nezha, it seems your background is deeper than I thought."

The overcast clouds loomed low overhead, and the northwest wind pricked their faces like wheat awns.

Nezha walked to the bedside, looking at the endless stars and night sky, and said, "If only it were that simple. I fear I’ve been drawn into some conspiracy."

Zi Chen said, "Since Lu Ya is not a Loose Cultivator but part of the Chan Sect, the only ones who could instruct him would be Yuanshi Tianzun or the one in the Eight Scenic Palace."

"Heh, in this world, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone pulled out a phone and made a call in front of me."

"What’s a phone?".

Nezha patiently explained to Zi Chen, but as he continued, he found that the more he explained, the more things needed explaining.

The next morning, Nezha went out and met Jiang Xiao.

The girl said joyfully, "The monk said he’s going mountain climbing today. I’m off today as well, so I’m going to buy some food. Do you want to come along?".

With nothing else to do,

Nezha took Ao Yu and Lv Zhu’er with him and joined the monk and Jiang Xiao as they climbed the mountain.

Nezha asked, "Monk, aren’t you supposed to spread your wisdom today? What brings you to climb a mountain?".

The monk replied, "Living beings are not only at the foot of the mountain, but also on the mountain."

"But there’s no one on this mountain."

The monk laughed, "The birds in the woods, the ants on the ground, the fish in the water, are they not all living beings?".

"You really are different from others."

The monk shook his head, "Your mind might be more mature than your peers, but your experience is still too limited. People like me are actually quite numerous in this world."

Nezha said, "You’re rare in these turbulent times."

"That’s why my mission is to increase the number of people like me in the world."

"That’s just your simple wish. Have you ever thought that this might not be a good thing?".

The monk laughed, "Why?".

Nezha said, "Because kind people are often taken advantage of. By being like that, you might harm those who are good-hearted."

"Kindness does not mean stupidity, and gentleness does not mean lack of determination. Besides, a single spark can start a prairie fire."
