The Thunderbolt Halberd Roars
Bai Xue’s body absorbed energy from the spirit crystals at an alarming rate, quickly regenerating to not only her normal state but also becoming many times stronger than before.
Bai Xue awoke feeling refreshed as if she had fully rested, her body light and comfortable.
Shortly after waking up, Bai Die flew to her immediately.
’Young Miss, you have awakened.’
“How long did I sleep?” Bai Xue asked.
’Only for about two hours,’ Bai Die answered honestly.
She surprised herself as she had never seen anyone recover so quickly.
“Good…
Then I shall go to see grandfather.”
’Not yet, Young Miss.’
“What do you mean?” Bai Xue looked at Bai Die curiously.
’Not much time has passed outside, and the thunderbolt that appeared within the dimension did not manifest outside…’
“I understand now.” Bai Xue realized after Bai Die’s reminder.
She had been too anxious and thoughtless.
She was grateful for Bai Die’s reminder; otherwise, if she went out now, without the thunderbolt manifesting, everyone would suspect how she could successfully concoct the life-extending elixir in such a short time without encountering the thunderbolt.
“Normally, how long does it take for others to concoct a life-extending elixir?”
’Not long, Young Miss.
The life-extending elixir is easy to concoct because the hardest part is the thunderbolt.
Most who concoct this type of elixir spend most of their time recovering if they succeed.’
“I understand now. When one month has passed outside… then I will go out.”
Bai Die was about to say that those who concoct such elixirs usually need several years to recover, but Bai Xue interrupted her with another question.
“Do you have a way to make the thunderbolt strike again?” Bai Xue asked.
’No, Young Miss.’
“Can’t you create an illusion?”
’No, Young Miss.
I can’t.
But…’
“But what?” Bai Xue looked at Bai Die hopefully as the little butterfly seemed to recall something.
’In the mental dimension, there is a divine weapon capable of summoning thunderbolt, but it consumes almost all of the user’s energy.’ Bai Die explained before continuing.
“Is it dangerous?”
’Yes, Young Miss.
It’s a forbidden weapon, created for destruction.’ Bai Die didn’t intend to hide anything and chose to openly share what she knew.
’The name of that weapon is the Thunderbolt Halberd Roars!’
“…” Bai Xue fell silent upon hearing what Bai Die told her.
The Thunderbolt Halberd Roars, how intriguing.
’If not necessary, I would not want Young Miss to use it,’ Bai Die warned.
“But it is necessary for me to use it.”
“Thunderbolt Halberd Roars!”
?
“Where?” Bai Xue looked at her empty hands after calling for the Thunderbolt Halberd Roars, but it did not appear.
Normally, whatever she called for would always manifest.
’The Thunderbolt Halberd Roars is a forbidden weapon, thus it has been sealed,’ Bai Die explained.
“Where is it sealed? Take me there.”
’Yes, Young Miss.’ Bai Die agreed, and then Bai Xue called for Xiao Hong before letting the phoenix follow Bai Die, who flew ahead to guide the way.
Bai Xue’s mental dimension was vast and expansive, too large to traverse on foot without wasting a lot of time.
Therefore, she relied on Xiao Hong, her little phoenix.
Soon, Bai Xue arrived at her destination, the deepest part of the mental dimension where the Thunderbolt Halberd Roars was sealed.
Without Bai Die’s guidance, she might have never known such a place existed within her mental dimension.
“Bai Die, this place…”
’This place is not only home to forbidden weapons but also forbidden manuals and other prohibited items.’
“I didn’t expect there to be so many.”
’Young Miss, these forbidden items have their own consciousness.
If they do not accept you, you cannot unseal them.
They are proud and arrogant, not easily allowing anyone to possess them.
Even though they are forbidden, they choose their owner as well,’ Bai Die explained.
At that moment, Bai Xue felt a certain oppressive force directed towards her.
She decided to follow this force, stopping when she heard an unusual sound.
Clunk, clunk.
The sound of something hitting the ground echoed, leading Bai Xue into a pitch-dark area.
Before she knew it, her hand touched an invisible barrier in front of her, which suddenly vanished, allowing her entry into the area.
Clunk, clunk.
The sound continued, growing louder as she moved deeper, as if it was howling in joy.
Whoosh!
Bai Xue walked to the end of the path, where the total darkness suddenly vanished, replaced by a soft, silver light.
The light came from a silver halberd in front of her.
In the center of the halberd, a clear blue crystal was embedded, and its sharp tip looked formidable.
The base of the halberd had a tassel that seemed to be made of some black, silky material, alive and flowing.
The handle was adorned with unusual patterns that were surprisingly beautiful.
“Are you the Thunderbolt Halberd Roars?” Bai Xue asked, believing that these forbidden items could understand human speech.
Clunk, clunk!
The halberd in front of her banged itself again, making a sound, confirming to Bai Xue that the noises she had been hearing were indeed from the Thunderbolt Halberd Roars.
“Would you help me with something?”
Clunk, clunk.
“If you agree, come to me,” Bai Xue extended her hand but did not grasp the halberd directly, waiting for it to choose her.
Swoosh!
Clang!
Yet, strangely, the blood disappeared without a trace, absorbed by the halberd.
What did this mean?
Bai Xue was puzzled, and suddenly, the large halberd that was in front of her vanished, replaced by a silver bracelet with a clear blue crystal, similar to the Thunderbolt Halberd Roars, appearing on her wrist!
Then, a silver light shot into the middle of Bai Xue’s forehead, quickly imparting the knowledge of the Thunderbolt Halberd Roars’ abilities and how to use it.
“This is…” Bai Xue murmured, confused.
If she wasn’t mistaken, had the Thunderbolt Halberd Roars just formed a pact with her?
Bai Die said that forbidden items were proud and chose their owners.
So, the Thunderbolt Halberd Roars chose Bai Xue?
Thinking this, Bai Xue felt pleased because she didn’t have to do anything to gain possession of a crucial weapon.
The Thunderbolt Halberd Roars seemed to sense Bai Xue’s happiness, as the silver bracelet on her wrist sparkled beautifully.
Seeing this, Bai Xue smiled.
“Now that you have chosen me as your owner, I will take good care of you. You are silver, so let’s name you Xiao Yin,” Bai Xue named the Thunderbolt Halberd Roars.
Just like she named her phoenix Xiao Hong because of its red color, she named the halberd Xiao Yin for its silver color.
It wasn’t for lack of creativity; she simply liked simplicity!
“Alright, it’s time to test you out,” Bai Xue smiled, leaving the forbidden area with Bai Die and Xiao Hong waiting for her worriedly outside.
’Young Miss!
Eh, that is…’
Bai Die noticed Bai Xue stepping out from the forbidden area, but her eyes quickly fixed on the silver bracelet on Bai Xue’s wrist.
“This is the Thunderbolt Halberd Roars,” Bai Xue explained.
’What?
Don’t tell me…’
“Yes, it has accepted me as its master!”
’…’ It was unbelievable that such a proud weapon would easily submit to someone else’s command.
“I’ve named it Xiao Yin…”
Bai Die was still in shock, and now there was even more for her to digest: the ease with which the Thunderbolt Halberd Roars chose its master and the fact that such a fearsome weapon was given such an endearing name, Xiao Yin!
“Did you hear what I said, Bai Die?”
’Yes, Young Miss, I heard you.’
“I plan to leave the dimension to create a fake thunderstorm in the Hundred Demons Forest. Should I go now?” Bai Xue asked Bai Die, who seemed confused.
“Let’s wait for two days to pass in the outside world,” Bai Die suggested after some thought.
“Alright, we’ll do as you say.
Meanwhile, I’ll seclude myself for training.
Let me know when it’s time.”
“Yes, Young Miss,” Bai Die agreed, still puzzled by the events.
By the time she realized it, Bai Xue and Xiao Hong had already flown back to their training cave.
The celestial butterfly could only follow disheartened.
From now on, she would have to come to terms with these oddities because Bai Die thought that the usual rules might not apply to her Lady!
