“Do you remember what His Highness told us once? He said that the ranked weapons we forged were nothing more than neutered versions,” a Grand Craftsman suddenly said. “Could His Highness be referring to this?”

“You’re saying His Highness already knew this?” Li Chengliang and the others looked at the Grand Craftsman.

The Grand Craftsman looked innocent. “You’re asking me, but who should I ask?

“I’m just guessing. Look, the original Heavenly Mountain Villa’s Yellow-grade Armament Manual is gone, and so is the Standard Armament Manual.

“This Great Destroyer Sword is His Highness’s personal weapon. It’s ranked tenth in the Acquired Armament Manual, and the Shadow Sword is ranked eighty-first in the Acquired Armament Manual.

“And this is the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber, ranked 1789th in the Acquired Armament Manual.

“In the past, these weapons were either on the Earth-grade Armament Manual, the Yellow-grade Armament Manual, or the Standard Armament Manual. But now, they’re all classified under the Acquired Armament Manual.

“Does that mean the weapons we forge all belong to acquired weapons?”

The Grand Craftsmen nodded. They had noticed this too.

“Are you saying that when His Highness first said that the ranked weapons we forged were all neutered versions, he meant that the weapons we forged were all acquired weapons, and the real ranked weapons should be connate weapons?”

Li Chengliang and the others pondered.

Those who could become Forging Masters and Grand Craftsmen were all exceptional talents. They were not fools. When they saw the Armament Manual, they already had some guesses.

“This Connate Armament Manual…”

......

Everyone’s gaze fell on the weapon manual projected by the Heavenly Mirror.

On the Armament Manual, which was divided into two sections, on the part belonging to the Connate Armament Manual, there were only two names on it.

“First, the Longevity Sword.”

“Second, the Crimson Firmament Sword.”

The forgers fell silent. After a long time, someone spoke first. “I remember that the sword His Highness has that can automatically kill enemies is the Longevity Sword, right?”

“That’s right.” Li Chengliang nodded. He had seen the sword up close before, but he had never played with it. He didn’t expect this ordinary-looking sword to be a connate weapon!

If he had known earlier, he would have borrowed it from the king to play with it.

“There are only two connate weapons in this world. The Longevity Sword is in the hands of His Highness. Who do you think has the Crimson Firmament Sword? Who forged it?” A Grand Craftsman voiced his doubts.

“The phenomenon just now…”

The Grand Craftsmen looked at each other and recalled the phenomenon that had happened not long ago.

At the time, it seemed that the king was forging. After the phenomenon, he left the forging room.

And then…

The Armament Manual of the Heavenly Mountain Villa changed.

The Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow, and Standard Armament Manuals combined and became the Acquired Armament Manual.

Apart from the Acquired Armament Manual, there was an additional Connate Armament Manual!

There were only two weapons in the Connate Armament Manual. One was the king’s previous sword, and the other…

“Could this Crimson Firmament Sword have just been forged by the pavilion master?” Shi Songtao blinked, his emotions churning.

Every time he felt that his forging skills had improved greatly and he was closer to the pavilion master, he would realize that he was even further away from the pavilion master.

What kind of realm had the pavilion master’s forging technique reached?

I can’t even see his back.

“Perhaps it’s really because His Highness forged a connate weapon that the Heavenly Mountain Villa changed the Armament Manual?

“He single-handedly changed the Armament Manual of the Heavenly Mountain Villa, which has been passed down for thousands of years?”

The forgers looked at each other and fell into a long silence.

“Is that so strange?” a Forging Master said weakly. “His Highness isn’t an ordinary person. Isn’t it normal that he can do this?”

The forgers were speechless. What he said made sense!

All the things that the king had done in the path of forging since he started forging had subverted everyone’s inherent impression of things.

Be it standard weapons or the top ten of the Yellow-grade Armament Manual, he had always been so shocking in the path of forging.

“I wonder what this connate weapon is all about.” Li Chengliang sighed. “I really want to see for myself what kind of power this Crimson Firmament Sword has.”

“Simple. When Yang Hong comes back alive, you will have a chance to see the Crimson Firmament Sword.” A voice sounded in everyone’s ears. It was Zhou Shu.

“Your Highness!” All the forgers stood up and looked at Zhou Shu with admiration.

When they thought about how Zhou Shu had single-handedly changed the Armament Manual of the Heavenly Mountain Villa, their admiration for him was endless.

“The Heavenly Mountain Villa sure is fast.” Zhou Shu glanced at the Armament Manual projected by the Heavenly Mirror. He also had a Heavenly Mirror on him. He had obtained it from Shi Songtao.

But Zhou Shu no longer paid attention to the Armament Manual. To him, rankings had long become meaningless.

He didn’t expect the actions of the Heavenly Mountain Villa to be so fast. As soon as he forged the Crimson Firmament Sword, the Armament Manual had already been changed!

Connate Armament Manual and Acquired Armament Manual?

This name was probably a coincidence. After all, Zhou Shu had only called the name of the connate divine weapon in his heart and had never told anyone.

If the Heavenly Mountain Villa could even read his thoughts, Zhou Shu definitely wouldn’t believe it.

After cultivating for so long, Zhou Shu was certain that this couldn’t happen.

But thinking about the difference between connate divine weapons and acquired weapons, it was not surprising that the Heavenly Mountain Villa named the Armament Manual after them.

The Longevity Sword is indeed a connate divine weapon,?Zhou Shu thought when he saw the name of the Longevity Sword on the Connate Armament Manual.

His earlier speculations were now confirmed.

But Zhou Shu was surprised that the imperial cauldrons weren’t included in the Connate Armament Manual.

Moreover, there were only two connate divine weapons in this world?

Since the Longevity Sword was a connate divine weapon, it meant that the forging method of connate divine weapon had once existed.

Then, why were there only these two connate divine weapons now?

Logically speaking, even if the forging method of connate divine weapons was lost, there should still be connate divine weapons left behind.

A martial artist’s lifespan was limited, but the lifespan of a weapon was almost unlimited.

This thought flashed through Zhou Shu’s mind, and Li Chengliang’s voice sounded in his ears.

Li Chengliang suddenly knelt on the ground and said loudly, “Your Highness, I want to take you as my master and learn the art of forging connate weapons. Please allow me!”

Li Chengliang was a famous Grand Craftsman. In terms of age, he was old enough to be Zhou Shu’s grandfather. Zhou Shu was shocked when this elder suddenly knelt in front of him.

“What are you doing, Grand Craftsman Li?” Zhou Shu said. “Get up first.”

“Your Highness, although I’m a little older, I ask myself that I’m no worse than those young people anywhere. As long as you accept me, I’ll definitely be at your beck and call—”

“Stop,” Zhou Shu interrupted. “I don’t need you at my beck and call, and I won’t take you as my disciple.”

“If you want to learn the art of forging connate divine weapons, fine. As long as you earn enough points, you have a chance. You don’t have to acknowledge me as your master.” Zhou Shu shook his head.

“Let me reiterate. My Huaxia Pavilion is a very fair place. If you give, you will definitely gain. Similarly, if you want to receive, you have to give.

“Here, points can be exchanged for everything you want, including the forging technique of connate divine weapons.”

Zhou Shu swept his gaze across the forge. “What you can learn depends on what you can contribute.”

“So, can divine skills be learned with points?” Li Chengliang’s jaw dropped in disbelief.

“Of course,” Zhou Shu said. “Hiding these things won’t promote the development of forging techniques. In my opinion, forging techniques should become open for study. Those who want to learn should have a chance to learn them
