Chapter 1471: Divine Pattern Military Diagram

The Golden Crow father and son, who were standing some distance away, stared in astonishment at his words. This kid truly had audacious guts, daring to speak so disrespectfully to such a terrifying figure.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince, on the other hand, secretly rejoiced. He used to find this guy's sharp tongue annoying, but now he thought it was wonderful.

He hoped the guy would become even more abrasive, so that Da Yu, once offended, could simply blow a breath and reduce him to ashes.

The three women, Yu Yanluo among them, also looked at Zu An with worried expressions. They too disagreed with pushing Da Yu to his limits at this moment, as the power gap between them was simply too vast.

Cold sweat drenched Zu An's clothes down his back; he had only just forced himself to speak up.

This was mainly because, from Da Yu's previous words and actions, he didn't seem like an evil villain but rather someone who upheld order and justice.

Moreover, in his previous experiences in the Unknown Lands, both Qin Shi Huang (Ying Zheng) and Emperor Wu Geng of Shang had personally bestowed benefits upon him.

Yet, in this Unknown Land, everything seemed resolved, and Da Yu was about to leave without offering anything. Zu An couldn't help but feel anxious.

He had come all this way to the Unknown Land, escaping death multiple times, only to gain nothing and even lose a large number of items. That would be a complete and utter loss.

"What have I damaged of yours?" Da Yu turned around, somewhat displeased.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince, still at a distance, was secretly delighted. 'Let this guy dig his own grave,' he thought. 'He's just asking for trouble; he'll eventually get what's coming to him.'

Yu Yanluo, anxious, tugged secretly at Zu An's sleeve. However, Zu An calmly assessed the situation. He hadn't detected any anger from the other party. 'Hmm, it seems he isn't enraged,' he mused.

So he said, "The Nine Cauldrons, of course. I brought them here, and I used them to unlock the seal in the space where you were. But then you split them into nine, taking them to suppress Gonggong across the Nine Provinces."

He still couldn't understand how the Nine Cauldrons, which were so miniature in his hands and usually only used for alchemy, could have possessed such immense power just now.

Da Yu stated calmly, "I forged the Nine Cauldrons; they were originally my weapons."

Under Da Yu's gaze, Zu An felt a wave of unease throughout his body. He thought to himself, 'This guy's true power must be comparable to that of the immortals in heaven, yet he's still here in the mortal realm. That's practically cheating!'

He inwardly checked for any signs of anger and, finding none, he calmed down slightly. "You, senior, indeed forged the Nine Cauldrons, but as the years passed, you passed on to the immortal realm. These Nine Cauldrons changed hands many times and eventually came into my possession. I was the one who brought them into this world, and I am also their master."

At this, even the Demon Emperor was somewhat impressed with Zu An. This guy had nerves of steel to such an extent that he dared to demand compensation from Da Yu. How was this different from seeking death?

He inwardly asked himself, if anyone had dared to speak to him like that in the past, he would have instantly annihilated them.

However, the next scene nearly made his eyes pop out of his head, because Da Yu nodded slightly and said, "You have a point."

Da Yu scrutinized Zu An closely, then suddenly uttered a sound of surprise. "With your level of cultivation, you seem to have been recognized by the will of this very world. That is truly extraordinary."

"Recognized by the will of Heaven and Earth?" At this, even the Demon Emperor grew envious. What did it mean to be recognized by the will of Heaven and Earth? As powerful as he was, he had never received such recognition in his own world, nor had Zhao Hao.

On the contrary, those recognized by Heaven and Earth possessed great fortune. If Zu An continued cultivating in this world, his progress would be many times faster than if he were in the outside world.

Furthermore, anyone who wished him harm would often be rejected by the will of this world, leading to a string of misfortunes for them.

He had come to this world, fought fiercely against the Four Fiends, unlocked so many important seals, and obtained numerous crucial items, yet he hadn't received the recognition of Heaven and Earth's will. What exactly had Zu An done to earn such blessings?

The Golden Crow Crown Prince's eyes were filled with madness and resentment. 'Why him?' he thought. 'This annoying, arrogant ant, why does everything always go so smoothly for him? Why does he always get all the benefits?'

Zu An hadn't expected to receive the recognition of Heaven and Earth's will either. He wondered if it was because he had completed Yi's heroic journey and shot down the nine malevolent suns in the sky.

If he were to make a game analogy, he must have completed an S-rank hidden quest in this world, and simultaneously completed an S-rank main quest with the Demon Emperor. Additionally, his Nine Cauldrons played a crucial role, so his overall contribution was far greater than that of the Demon Emperor and his group.

At that moment, Da Yu spoke again: "Speaking of which, you and I are quite fated. However, the Nine Cauldrons are now used to suppress the Nine Provinces, so they cannot be returned to you. I will compensate you with something else."

The Demon Emperor's eyes gleamed with an unusual light, and his breathing quickened. How could something given by such a being be anything less than extraordinary?

Once Da Yu was gone, he was determined to seize it from Zu An.

Although Zu An now possessed great fortune, his strength was still far inferior to the Demon Emperor's. Moreover, to deal with Gonggong, the Demon Emperor had just absorbed Fuyou's cultivation, making his current combat power even stronger than his peak.

Zu An, having just sorted out his thoughts, felt greatly relaxed. "The Nine Cauldrons are so precious; I won't accept any ordinary compensation."

Da Yu was speechless.

Everyone else was speechless.

This guy always managed to state outrageous demands as if they were perfectly reasonable, no matter who he was facing.

Yan Xuehen felt this most profoundly, thinking, 'If he weren't so fearless, how would he have dared to climb into my bed?'

Da Yu took a deep breath, seemingly composing himself. Without further ado, he simply pointed a finger, and a golden light flew to Zu An's forehead.

Zu An felt a rush of information flood his mind in an instant. It took him a while to come back to his senses.

The other party had transmitted a cultivation technique to him.

Just then, the sound of a keyboard echoed in his mind: "New secret scroll from the Unknown Land, 'Divine Weaponry Codex,' detected. Do you wish to embed it?"

"Yes!" Zu An rejoiced. He was so glad he had gathered the courage to ask, otherwise, he would have missed out.

Soon, the 'Divine Weaponry Codex' in his mind was directly embedded onto the F1 key, where a faint pattern of a rune mixed with a sword emerged.

At that moment, the description of the 'Divine Weaponry Codex' also appeared in his mind. He quickly read through it, and his breathing immediately quickened.

Simply put, this cultivation technique allowed him to turn all weapons in the world to his own use, automatically mastering various weapons. It granted a strong affinity for any weapon, and as long as he had seen a weapon, he could virtually conjure and use it.

Zu An had originally expected Da Yu to give him an earth-elemental cultivation technique. He never imagined it would be something like this. Strictly speaking, should this technique be considered metal-elemental?

Of course, the element wasn't the key; the powerful abilities were.

Currently, his defense and recovery were already very strong. However, when facing stronger opponents, he had always lacked sufficient offensive means.

With this cultivation technique, it was as if wings had been added to a tiger.

Others might achieve a certain level of mastery in their cultivation, allowing them to skillfully use many weapons. However, they could usually only specialize in one weapon throughout their lives, as each weapon had its own strengths and weaknesses, requiring a lifetime of effort to truly master.

But this cultivation technique allowed Zu An to bypass these steps, enabling him to achieve the peak of skill with every weapon he used, making him a true weapon master.

As for the weapon affinity attribute, he didn't quite understand what it meant.

However, the most powerful aspect was the ability to conjure weapons. As long as he had seen a weapon, he could conjure it. With countless Heaven-rank, Immortal-rank, and even God-rank weapons in the world, wouldn't he essentially carry a massive arsenal at all times? He could simply overwhelm his opponents with sheer force.

Of course, it wasn't without its drawbacks. For instance, he had to have seen the weapon in person. Also, conjured weapons had a time limit and were not permanently effective, and their power and capabilities seemed to be slightly weaker than the originals.

But that was enough. If quality wasn't enough, quantity would make up for it!

If the conjured weapons were identical to the originals, that would be truly unreasonable.
