In mid air, terrifiying thunder roared continuously. Amid the violent gales, furious lightning elements coalesced into a turbulent manifestation in the sky. Above the blacksmith shop, a ray of light, akin to a frenzied dragon twirling around the clouds and overflowing with lightning, formed a tumultuous vortex. The True Essence was condensed and yet stable, a spectacle that was terrifying to hear about.
Many practitioners on Wanhua Island all came out from their dwellings, staring at the spectacle above the blacksmith shop with an expression of astonished uncertainty.
“What is happening? How could there be such a terrifying thunderous phenomenon within a blacksmith’s shop?”
“Perhaps an eminent predecessor is practicing a Cultivation Method; but what kind of a Cultivation Method could possess such a momentum?”
“Listen, that is… the sound of forging, could it be that some blacksmith is crafting a weapon? This momentum… is probably indicative of the birth of another spirit weapon.”
“Who knows which Master is forging the weapon? Sadly, we are unable to see it, at this moment, it is absolutely impossible to disturb, if we interrupt a Master forging, on Wanhua Island, one cannot bear the consequence of angering a Master.”
Everyone was looking at the sky in astonishment, the violent phenomenon; the sound ofcrafting, like a tumultuous storm, grazed their hearts, resulting in a sense of suffocation.
From mid-air, more severe and fiery wave of air transmitted outwards, reflecting on the uncertain faces of everyone.
Lu Baichi and another practitioner from the Wanhua Tower emerged amongst the crowd, staring at the spectacle taking place in mid-air, and in a solemn voice declared, “Worthy of being a Master level expert, such phenomenon is unprecedented apart from by a Master, even in the blessed land of Mountian Hua.”
The practitioner nodded his head, grinning stated, “Who would have thought such capability would be concealed within the Wanhua Island, after the predecessor completes refining his artifact, we could pay our respects and establish a rapport.”
Lu Baichi burst into laughter, stating, “On this occasion, I realized that this world is indeed extraordinary. It is only natural to establish rapport with such masters. At that time, it is important for us to display a humble demeanour to avoid being abrupt… Ah, it’s the Wang Family’s spirit girl, Wang Meiling. I am stunned that she too got involved.”
Not far from them, the charming young lady, who Yang Zhen had previously met, appeared in place, still dressed in the long gown, attracting considerable attention.
by her side, a middle-aged man expressed his hesitation, “Why would there be a Master level character inside of this blacksmith shop?”
Wang Meiling contemplated for a moment, her delicate and soulful eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, asked, “Did another Artifact Refining Master come to Wanha Island in the past few days?”
The middle-aged man shook his head, “No Artifact Refining Master has arrived, it could be one of the Artifact Refining Masters from Wanhua Island.” Wang Meiling shook her head, “All those Artifact Refining Masters have followed Elder Gu to the Sea Dragon Pool, there cannot be any master left behind here. This is strange… could it be that an Artifact Master is about to break through to the Master realm?”
At her words, the man was startled, his expression filled with uncertainty, responded, “We cannot rule out this possibility, young lady, if this is indeed the case, it wouldn’t hurt to establish a rapport.”
Wang Meiling chuckled, “Of course, it is only natural for us. At such a critical time on Wanhua Island, the Wang Family wouldn’t overlook this. Since there’s nothing much to do right now, let’s wait here.”
The man hesitated for a moment, agreed, “Very well, waiting outside would
also show our sincerety and attitude from the Wang family.”
Wang Meiling nodded, lost in her thoughts as she watched the increasingly intense celestial phenomenon.
More and more practitioners gathered around the blacksmith shop, practically encircling the entire street.
Now the Wanhua Island had gathered various kinds of practitioners, even a considerable number of those at the Void Cultivation Stage had arrived. At this time, nobody was reckless enough to intrude, even if they were inclined to do so, they would not dare.
By now, a few had started guessing that there could be an Artifact Master inside breaking boundaries and about to become an Artifact Refining Master. At such a critical moment, anyone who approached would probably be stopped by other practitioners.
It is difficult to help an Artifact Master, but helping him uphold the law when he isn’t yet an Artifact Refining Master, is definitely the best way to leave a good impression.
Everyone was quietly staring at the thunderous dance in mid-air, each harbouring their own thoughts.
Inside the blacksmith shop, the cat and Great Master were gaping at the almost frenzied Yang Zhen in disbelief.
Especially the Silly Cat, whose eyes were on the verge of popping out, he was leaping excitedly, “Holy shit, unbelievable, unbelievable, this guy is a total badass, about to become godlike, is he creating a Cultivation Method?” “Cultivation Method?” The Great Master looked at the Silly Cat in a daze and asked, “Isn’t he just forging? Can you create a Cultivation Method by doing that?”
Silly Cat scoffed and said, “There are thousands of Heaven and Earth Great Dao, not only in artifact refining but even in farming and gardening, one can comprehend the great Dao. Once you have an epiphany, you can summon wind and call for rain, so what’s the big deal?”
The Great Master listened, half understanding, and expressed some concern, “The lad’s condition seems a bit off. With such a commotion, what if someone breaks in and disturbs him?”
Silly Cat grinned wickedly, and after a moment with his eyes closed, he said “No need to worry, there’s probably thousands of people waiting outside right now, none of them dare to barge in just like that.”
With Silly Cat’s insights, there was no way he couldn’t figure out what the crowd outside was thinking. He marvelled at the sight and watched Yang Zhen intently.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The hammer in Yang Zhen’s hand struck faster with each blow, each time as if he had cast his maximum strength into it. Yet with the next strike, there was a remarkable increase, as if it were endless.
The force within Yang Zhen had exploded by this point, with every inch of his body’s muscles violently flexing. Despite the seemingly chaotic hammering, the sounds it produced carried an aura of the cosmic Dao.
The Great Master gazed at Yang Zhen unblinkingly, his eyes growing brighter and he mentioned in astonishment, ”This…this hammering technique….” With each swing of the hammer by Yang Zhen, from heel to shoulder, the obvious shift in strength was visible. The outrageous power was making the Great Master’s blood boil.
At that moment, Yang Zhen suddenly closed his eyes, letting out a low roar, his hand movements becoming more ferocious, the clanging sound becoming a continuous noise.
Simultaneously with the continuous sound, Yang Zhen’s hand and arm, with each lift of the hammer to its heavy fall, left a series of afterimages in the air. Boom!
The aura around Yang Zhen erupted entirely, and he seemed to be thrown into madness. The surrounding wind was roaring, waves were rolling, and at the beginning of the True Essence explosion, his hammering technique became completely irregular, leaving behind a chaotic afterimage.
“Invigorating!”
Suddenly, Yang Zhen yelled sharply, and his whole body became more open and engaged. The massive hammer in his hand was no longer limited to the Star Iron on the anvil. For a moment, the wind and thunder raged.
Amidst the rolling waves, everything around the smithy was crushed into fine powder.
The violent wind swept in all directions. Silly Cat yelled oddly and hastily dragged the Great Master two yards from Yang Zhen.
“What..what..what…what is the boy doing, such massive power, it won’t be long before he completely destroys the old man’s smithy.”
The Great Master, with a troubled expression, said, “I hope the lad is not hurt.” Silly Cat shook his head, staring at Yang Zhen and said, “He’s fine, it’s almost over!”
Boom!
Yang Zhen’s hammer heavily fell on the anvil and the solid Star Iron instantly shattered into countless pieces.
As the hammer’s shadow disappeared and the phenomenon gradually subsided, everything returned to calm after the surrounding airwaves had settled.
Yang Zhen, with his eyes as sharp as lightning, took a deep breath and laughed boisterously, saying, “Refreshing!”
A group of people outside was collectively stunned, looking at each other in bewilderment as they watched the suddenly quiet smithy. They all wore a look of confusion.
“Did….did he fail?”
