Chapter 489 - Ranking the Sword

After a very long time had passed, or so it seemed to Chen Changsheng at any rate, that head manager from the Pavilion of Divination finally shifted his gaze away from the sheath, turning to him and chuckling.

Chen Changsheng did not know if there was some deeper meaning behind this laugh, but he could only hope that there was not.

The manager's hand caressed the sheath, sighing, ”Ah, an excellent object.”

Tang Thirty-Six naturally knew that this sheath was an excellent object.

Any sort of spatial artifact would be able to become the most precious treasure of an ordinary sect or school.

This sheath of Chen Changsheng's had once poured out a mountain of swords in the library, and that might not have even been everything inside it. From this, one could speculate as to how massive the space within was.

In the continent, whether it was for comparing cultivators against each other or evaluating whether magical artifacts were good or bad, the Pavilion of Divination was assuredly the best choice, or else those famous Proclamations would not have such great credibility. Tang Thirty-Six knew that this head manager had come to see the Stainless Sword, but he also didn't want to pass on the opportunity to have the sheath evaluated as well. He probed, ”How excellent is it?”

The head manager solemnly declared, ”Extremely excellent.”

Chen Changsheng almost broke into a laugh at these words, his nervousness somewhat relieved. Tang Thirty-Six was rather depressed, thinking to himself, this head manager's level of shamelessness when speaking is really equal to mine. He said irritatedly, ”Is it excellent enough to be listed on the Tier of Legendary Weapons?”

These words were just something he had said in anger, but to his surprise, that head manager put on a solemn expression as he carefully considered the question before finally shaking his head.

Tang Thirty-Six was somewhat satisfied and also somewhat disappointed.

But it was at this moment when the head manager spoke, ”I remember that this sheath has always been on the Tier of Legendary Weapons. It naturally doesn't need to be listed in it again.”

The library was exceptionally quiet.

Tang Thirty-Six glanced at Chen Changsheng, Mo Yu glanced at the sheath, and Chen Changsheng didn't know where he should be glancing.

”This is the Vault Sheath.” The manager lightly rapped against the sheath, listening to the heavy yet unmuffled noise. He sighed, ”It has also been twenty-some years since I last saw it.”

Although Mo Yu had her conjectures on this matter, her expression still flickered. She asked, ”This is the Vault Sheath that was once kept in the Li Palace?”

The head manager did not immediately answer her question. Instead, with a solemn expression, he pulled the dagger out of the sheath.

Staring at the dagger, he slowly spoke, ”If it were not the Vault Sheath, how could it hold such an incomparably sharp double-edged sword?”

The evaluation of 'incomparably sharp' was often heard, but when this evaluation came from the Pavilion of Divination famed for its rigor, it gained an incredibly extraordinary and distinct flavor.

This evaluation indicated that the sharpness of Chen Changsheng's dagger was truly unrivaled. The Pavilion of Divination believed that solely on the sharpness of this dagger, there was no divine weapon in the world that could exceed it.

This dagger had a very unremarkable appearance. Chen Changsheng had never paid much attention maintaining it, barely even wiping it a few times. However, it was plain to see that there were no stains upon the body of the dagger, not even a speck of dust. In Chen Changsheng's hands, this sword had killed no small number of people, soaked in no small amount of blood, yet no blood could be seen.

”The sword is called Stainless, and it truly is stainless,” the manager sighed.
