Live-in Son-in-law

"Qin Yi, don't just stand there, quickly pay your respects." Wang Zheng saw that Qin Yi and the others were still standing, and hurriedly reminded them.

Qin Yi sneered, "You haven't even figured out what this Divine Mountain is, and you're kneeling already?"

"The Divine Mountain has a spirit, the elders told us we must kneel when we see it," Wang Zheng replied.

Looking at the great mountain gleaming with golden light, Qin Yi laughed, "If you want to kneel, don't drag me into this. I am not asking anything from it, why should I kneel?"

Besides his parents, there had been no one in this lifetime who could make him kneel.

A mere mountain was not worthy of his homage.

Since Qin Yi did not kneel, naturally Mo Wuji and the others wouldn't kneel either.

"Brother Wang, you said the Divine Mountain would offer opportunities. What sort of things?"

Wang Zheng replied, "Divine weapons, it's said a senior once received a Holy Artifact bestowed by the Divine Mountain."

Above spiritual artifacts are Holy Artifacts.

Qin Yi was slightly surprised, he had seen many spiritual artifacts, but never a Holy Artifact.

"Does kneeling in reverence make the Divine Mountain bestow divine weapons upon you?"

Wang Zheng shook his head, "The elders say it's all about fate."

Qin Yi curled his lips, utterly unconvinced.

"Boom...!"

The Divine Mountain suddenly trembled, and on one side of the mountain, four clusters of golden light suddenly exploded.

At the very bottom appeared a dazzling treasure sword, intricately adorned from the scabbard engravings to the sword's hilt.

Immediately, beside the treasure sword appeared large words: Shocking Dragon Sword, Supreme Spiritual Artifact, May it find its destined owner.

The crowd's breathing immediately became more rapid, a supreme spiritual artifact, it was a rare divine weapon.

Especially Bai Jingqing, whose eyes burned with desire, because her weapon was the sword. A good sword had a tremendous allure for her.

Above the Shocking Dragon Sword, positioned at two-thirds up the Divine Mountain, appeared a brush about fifty centimeters long, completely silver.

Beside this brush also appeared golden characters: Mountain and River Pen, Low Grade Holy Artifact, May it find its destined owner.

Further up were two more weapons, but they were shrouded in golden light and couldn't be discerned.

Qin Yi frowned, not even his Eye of Righteous and Evil could penetrate through.

However, at the bottom was a spiritual artifact, above it a Holy Artifact, and further up were likely Immortal Artifacts and Divine Artifacts.

Qin Yi's throat moved, the pirate gene in his bones flared up.

It was said that Divine Artifacts held the power to destroy the heavens and earth. If obtained, the world would have to bow to him.

"Swoosh!"

A beam of golden light shot out from the mountain peak, landing directly on the ground, connecting the four weapons, and slowly transformed into a Golden Bridge.

"What does this mean?" Mo Wuji asked.

Qin Yi squinted slightly, eyes glimmering with sharpness: "This seems to be inviting the destined ones to climb the Golden Ladder and claim the divine weapons."

"That's exactly it, just like the elders said," Wang Zheng said excitedly.

Qin Yi was tempted, wanting to climb the Golden Ladder and take down those two weapons but held back.

"Brother Wang, you need them more than us. We won't vie for these two weapons with you," Qin Yi said with a smile.

Wang Zheng and his people guarded the Sand Sea, constantly accompanied by bloodshed. These divine weapons could only be of greater use in their hands.

But Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "The elders say the Divine Mountain has a spirit and will choose the person who best resonates with the weapon. It's not about who wants it. Treasures belong to the virtuous. May they find their destined owner."

"So, that means this Divine Mountain will choose a master for these weapons?" Qin Yi asked.

Wang Zheng nodded.

Qin Yi laughed, "Then everyone should give it a try? See who the destined one is."

Wang Zheng nodded and then instructed an armored warrior beside him, "You try first?"

The armored warrior took the order, leaped from the great ship, and headed towards the Golden Ladder.

"Brother Qin, have you noticed, the steps of this Golden Ladder from the bottom to where the weapons are, it's perfectly complete, exactly one hundred steps," Mo Wuji said.

Qin Yi nodded slightly, he had noticed, "Seems like there's something strange about this Golden Ladder, it's not that easy to climb."

The first armored warrior approached the Golden Ladder, looked up, and then stepped onto the first step.

He ascended the initial stone steps quickly.

But by the tenth step, the armored warrior's movements became somewhat clumsy.

By the fifteenth step, he was bent over as if carrying a great mountain.

At the twentieth step, his body was nearly hunch-backed, like an old man nearing the end of life, shaking violently, his pace heavy.

"Looks like there's indeed a trick to this Golden Ladder," Qin Yi frowned and said.

This armored warrior's willpower was strong, by the twenty-fifth step, his whole body seemed almost crawling on the ground.

Ultimately, at the twenty-ninth step, with a loud bang, the armored warrior seemed repelled by an invisible force from the Golden Ladder, falling directly onto the sandy ground below.

Wang Zheng's face changed dramatically, he leaped from the great ship.

"Let's go, take a look."

Qin Yi and the others also leaped from the great ship.

"How are you?" Wang Zheng pressed the mechanism on the armored warrior's helmet, removing it.

Only now did everyone see blood trickling from the armored warrior's mouth and nose, his face pale, hair soaked with sweat.

"I am ashamed for letting you down."

"Don't say that, how do you feel? Are you injured?" Wang Zheng asked worriedly.

Qin Yi raised his hand, purple light surged, enveloping the armored warrior.

The warrior was initially startled, then his face filled with astonishment as he felt a powerful yet gentle force enter his body, quickly replenishing his Qi Sea.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, he's just greatly exhausted," Qin Yi said.

"Thank you!" The armored warrior looked at Qin Yi with admiration.

Qin Yi shook his head slowly, "What did you just encounter?"

"This Golden Bridge has a terrifying weight. Initially, it was fine, but the further up, the greater the pressure, as if it was going to crush me to pieces. I couldn't sustain it," the armored warrior said with lingering fear.

"Captain, seems I am not the destined one."

Qin Yi turned back to look at the Golden Bridge, "I guess none of us are the destined ones."

"What do you mean?" Wang Zheng asked.

Qin Yi sneered, "All this talk of destined ones is a sham. In reality, it tests one's cultivation, whoever has the strongest cultivation takes the weapon. I don't know if this Divine Mountain already has a master, but I'm sure whoever designed it was absolutely twisted."

"Watch your words, you mustn't insult the Divine Mountain," Wang Zheng's face changed dramatically, hurriedly reminding.

Qin Yi didn't care, laughed and shrugged, "Brother Wang, why not send more to try, then you'll know if I'm right."

Wang Zheng nodded and called over more than ten armored warriors, "You go one by one, since the Divine Mountain appeared, there must be a destined one."

But ironically, over ten armored warriors, all only reached the twenties in steps before being blasted down.
