With the gnome leading the way, Austin and Violet continued to explore deeper into the cave.
As they walked, Austin roughly estimated that they had come across over a hundred mummies along the way.
It looked like the cave was a hideout for mummies but he still was curious and wanted to know why there were so many mummies in here.
He observed the mummies closely. From the shabby clothes they wore, Austin deduced that they were warriors.
But the question was: did they die there or were their bodies moved there after their deaths?
A number of doubts crossed his mind. Was the formation of these mummies just a coincidence? Or could it be that the warriors in question happened to die in a cold and humid cave, and became mummies after a long, long time?
Or was it someone else's doing?
Austin and Violet felt their blood chill as they laid eyes on the sleeping mummies scattered on the ground.
After they went ahead for about a kilometer, they found themselves in another hidden cave.
Rows and rows of weapons sat on parallel racks in the hidden cave. Every one of the weapons on display was spiritual weapons of different grades—low, medium, and high.
Austin owned many spiritual weapons but one could never have enough treasures. Even if he didn't use them himself, he could always sell them to make more money.
The sight of so many weapons excited Austin to no end. "No matter what else happens, it's been a worthwhile trip!" he exclaimed ecstatically.
What they had found before had only been empty boxes, the medicinal pills and elixirs having been pillaged. Their latest discovering had erased any disappointment that they previously had.
Even if this would be all they found in their exploration of this cave, they would still be quite satisfied in the end.
Austin scanned the rows of spiritual weapons and noticed something that excited him, something that made him rush towards it.
In a single stride, Austin went over to the corner of the cave where a single weapon rack stood, separated from the other racks that they had seen before.
There were two weapons on this rack, a sword and a purplish red steel mace. They both had a special spiritual energy surrounding them.
At first sight, Austin felt that these two weapons were different from the other weapons in the cave. They were more dynamic and full of spirit, as if they had lives. He could see vigorous energy waves swirling within them.
Were these... the sacred weapons that were mentioned in the legend?
Austin was overjoyed. He gazed at the weapons, unable to tear his eyes off of them.
The weapons were divided into various grades and ranks. The lowest-ranked weapons were common weapons, at the same rank as the kitchen knife.
Then there were spiritual weapons, sacred weapons, and divine weapons.
As per his knowledge as a disciple of the Sun Sect, the highest rank he knew was that of the divine weapon. It was said that more powerful weapons than the divine weapons existed. But Austin had no idea what exactly they were.
So far, the highest rank of weapon that he obtained was a high-grade spiritual weapon.
And that was the Violet Royal Sword that he held in his hands right now.
Austin assumed that the sword and the steel mace that sat before him were sacred weapons.
"Master, are they sacred weapons?"
Violet asked from behind Austin, glancing at the two remarkable weapons.
