Chapter 2148: Chapter 2145: Everyone Was Stunned

"Treasure trade fair?" Lin Tian’s heart stirred as he curiously asked, "Is it hosted by Langya Pavilion?"

"No one is hosting it; it’s a small informal trading fair where anyone can bring their items to sell or buy others’ items. Bartering is also acceptable. Of course, to add some fun to the trade fair, Langya Pavilion will also showcase some items. It’s a way for everyone to relax a bit before the martial arts competition."

Ling Zishan said casually, not paying much attention to the trade fair, clearly just seeing it as entertainment.

"Lin Tian, don’t bring your elixirs to the trade fair; I’m afraid you’ll steal everyone else’s thunder, and they won’t be able to sell their stuff," Ling Shuiyao said with a cheeky smile.

Lin Tian rolled his eyes at her, saying, "Do you think elixirs are like roasted beans, always available in unlimited amounts? However, I do have something else I’d like Aunt Ling to appraise to see if it can still be used."

"Oh? You have something else?" Ling Zishan was quite surprised, as were the others, curious about what else Lin Tian had, since he always brought surprises.

"Hold on a moment..." Lin Tian said, jogging back to his room. When he returned, he had two boxes in hand. He placed the boxes on the table, and everyone gathered around.

Lin Tian opened the box on his right hand, and a broken sword was revealed to everyone. The sword had a thicker spine part in the middle, marked by ancient patterns, resembling the style of a bronze sword.

"Lin Tian, are you kidding me, bringing a broken sword to fool your aunt? Did you pick up this fake antique from some flea market?" Ling Shuiyao seemed disappointed when she saw it was a broken sword, not forgetting to criticize Lin Tian.

Lin Tian just smiled, saying nothing, waiting for Ling Zishan’s reaction. Ling Zishan first furrowed her brow, appearing to ponder something, and then she was taken aback, as was Ling Xuesong.

"Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword!" Ling Xuesong exclaimed, characteristically unmindful of his image, his beard flying up.

"No, it’s not..." Ling Zishan and Old Man Ling simultaneously denied.

"Grandpa, Aunt, what are you saying? Why are you so startled? Hasn’t the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword been lost for a long time?" Ling Shuiyao was very puzzled at her aunt’s unusual loss of composure.

"Indeed, it’s not right," Wang Wanxi also said with a solemn face.

"A replica?" Miss, being a sword cultivator, was naturally familiar with these ancient famous swords.

"Although it’s a replica, given its texture and quality, it’s not low-grade. Unfortunately, it’s broken," Zhuge Cai Zhe sighed.

These major figures had sharp insights, seeing the nature of this broken sword at a glance. Indeed, the one Lin Tian took out was a replica of the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword made by the Xu Family.

"Who broke it?" Ling Zishan asked.

Lin Tian scratched his brow and casually said, "I broke it."

"Dang, you’re a sword terminator! How could you break even this?" Ling Xuesong was exasperated, but then he was relieved: "Luckily, it’s just a replica. If it were the real Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, you’d be defying the heavens!"

When the old man said this, Xiao Manxuan and Yun Xiaotian, the two little girls, were staring at Lin Tian and discovered his expression was quite odd.

"Uh..." Lin Tian made a sound, but stopped midway before finally saying, "Forget it, see for yourselves."

Under the eager gazes of everyone, Lin Tian gritted his teeth, opened the other box, revealing another broken sword.

Ling Shuiyao started laughing: "Haha, Lin Tian, you can perform spells, creating another one exactly the same."

"This is..." Perhaps after seeing a fake sword, and now seeing another identical one, a few major figures became confused.

Ling Xuesong’s expression turned somewhat stern. He reached out his hand, but surprisingly, this late-stage Innate expert’s hand was slightly unsteady, as if experiencing immense emotional turmoil.

As his fingers brushed past the sword’s surface, suddenly, at the broken part of the sword, a flash of soft azure light appeared for a moment.

Upon seeing this flash of light, the major figures were shocked, their expressions changed dramatically, and Ling Xuesong froze, as if struck by lightning.

He slowly turned his head to face Lin Tian, trying to remain calm as he asked, "Is it... the real one?"

"It is real," Lin Tian answered, pretending to be calm, though he could sense the "murderous intent" in the major figures’ gazes, as if they wanted to dismember him.

"I..." It seemed Ling Xuesong couldn’t catch his breath, enraged by Lin Tian, he repeatedly said, "Old Man Zhuge, give me a hand, I can’t take this, quick, lend me a hand."

Zhuge Cai Zhe ignored him, shaking his head in sigh, "What a pity, what a pity..."

Ling Zishan bitterly smiled and said, "Lin Tian, don’t tell me, you’re the one who broke it too."

"Sort of," Lin Tian replied.

"Aunt, is that second sword truly the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword?" Ling Shuiyao asked as she noticed the strong reactions from the others.

Ling Zishan nodded affirmatively: "It is real. I really can’t imagine how Lin Tian managed to break it."

"The Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword surpasses even the Purple Lightning Frost. Lin Tian, you have to tell us, how did you break it?" Old Man Ling, a late-stage Innate expert himself, quickly recovered from his shock.

Furthermore, being naturally optimistic, he became curious about how Lin Tian broke the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword.

"When I found the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, it was the pivotal point of a seal barrier. During the formation conflict, the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword fractured. I suspect that over the long years, it consumed too much," Lin Tian explained briefly, without mentioning sealing Jiang Chen.

The major figures suddenly understood, and Wang Wanxi nodded, "The sealing barrier’s power is immense. It seems this was the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword’s destiny."

"Mr. Ling, Aunt Ling, I want to ask, is there any way to reforge these two broken swords, or melt them down to use as sword materials?" Lin Tian asked, revealing his true purpose. If they couldn’t be melted down, they would just be scrap metal.

Ling Zishan thought for a moment, then said, "The replica can be reforged, but it’s not very meaningful; it’s better to melt it down for materials. As for the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, neither Master Tang Banqing nor Langya Pavilion can reforge it, nor can they melt it down."

"Even with a sword furnace?" Lin Tian pressed on; after all, the Heavenly Tribulation Sword was born in the Sword Furnace of the Qingshuang Pavilion.

"No, it’s not possible," Ling Zishan answered quite affirmatively. Then she added, "Actually, the significance of reforging the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword isn’t great. The birth of every famous sword is a unique stroke of fortune, unparalleled in its existence."

"Even if reforged, it wouldn’t be the original Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword. So, if you have a chance, melt it into the Heavenly Tribulation Sword; that would be its best destiny," Ling Zishan said, a bit sentimentally.

"Lin Tian, you’re truly a terminator of famous swords," Ling Shuiyao commented.

"Alright, today’s shock has been quite a bit. I need some time alone to process. You all go have fun, but remember one thing, do not display the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword at the trade fair. Even though it’s broken, it will still attract covetous eyes," Ling Zishan reminded them.
