Chapter 1450: Impart Heavenly Refinement

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tang Wulin listened to Zhen Hua’s explanation carefully and gained some basic understanding of Heavenly Refinement.

Zhen Hua said, “Come with me. No amount of words can be better than letting you see what Heavenly Refinement is with your own eyes. I’ll demonstrate Haven Refinement for you once, and then you’ll try it under my supervision. After that, you’ll return to your room and ponder upon your entire experience. From now on, come meet me here every week until you successfully complete Heavenly Refinement. I don’t care what kind of business you have, you must stay here until you manage to complete it. Compared to when I was learning Heavenly Refinement, your basics are much better, especially in terms of spiritual power. That’ll be very helpful to your Heavenly Refinement. Hence, you don’t have to think about gradually improving yourself after this. We’ll aim to achieve everything in one go and raise your forging level to Heavenly Refinement rank. As long as you have a single successful attempt, you’ll be fine by slowly feeling it out by yourself. However, before you can do that, I must be by your side to protect you and ensure your safety.”

When he heard Zhen Hua say this, Tang Wulin suddenly hesitated.

It would seem that staying in Mingdu City to receive his uncle master’s instructions in Heavenly Refinement would be a slight problem. This was because neither Zhen Hua nor he himself knew how much time he needed to achieve Heavenly Refinement. What if he took too long to achieve it?

Shrek Academy’s reconstruction needed him. He had to return as soon as possible after the Joust for a Spouse Festival was over.

The Spirit Pagoda wanted to deal with him through the Joust for a Spouse Festival, and if they failed, there was no telling what other methods they would employ in secret. As the Tang Sect’s Sect Master and Shrek Academy Sea God Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, there was no way he could shirk off the responsibility. How could he be far away from his organizations?

Zhen Hua could see what he was hesitating about. He spoke with an earnest tone, “Wulin, you have to understand the meaning behind Heavenly Refinement. Once you’ve successfully become a Divine Craftsman, the help you’ll give Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect will be unimaginable. Perhaps you haven’t fully understood what being a Divine Craftsman means. Simply put, if you can become a Divine Craftsman, you will even have the right to negotiate with the Federation and ask them to retract the declaration that the Tang Sect is a treasonous organization. Do you understand?”

“I’d be able to do that?” Tang Wulin was greatly astonished. He stared at Zhen Hua before him with his mouth agape.

Zhen Hua had a faint smile. “In this world, benefit is the true core value. In the face of enough benefits, there’s nothing that’s impossible. Naturally, what I said is possible, but the prerequisite is that you contribute a lot to the Federation. For example, complete a certain amount of Divine Craftsman-ranked products. So, it’s only natural for me to advise you to not enter such negotiations as a Divine Craftsman. I just want to tell you how important a Divine Craftsman is to the Federation.”

“Currently, there’s only a single Divine Craftsman on the entire Douluo Star, me. However, I’m getting old, but you’re still young. There’s also such a thing as a peak period for us blacksmiths. Although I’m not too old, my peak period has passed. After all, my cultivation base isn’t purely the fruit of my own cultivation. The more times I carried out Heavenly Refinement, the harder it was for me. However, you’re different. You possess great strength. You didn’t neglect your own cultivation base because of forging. You far surpass me in strength and spiritual power. So, I dare say that once you become a Divine Craftsman, you’ll surely surpass my achievements. In the future, you’ll be the youngest Divine Craftsman on the continent. I’m talking about an unprecedented event. Such an identity will make any great force covet you. As the saying goes, a person who doesn’t incite envy is unworthy. When that time comes, anyone who wants to do you harm will have to consider their actions carefully. It’ll be the same for Shrek and the Tang Sect. Think about it. If Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect had a Divine Craftsman, it would be a fantastic development for both factions.”

Naturally, Tang Wulin knew that Zhen Hua wanted him to make the decision to stay on and improve himself until he became a Divine Craftsman, which was why he was doing his best to persuade him. He knew the various benefits a Divine Craftsman would bring, but this was no longer his own personal problem. This was related to the Tang Sect and Shrek.

“Uncle master, I’ll have to discuss this matter with my seniors in the Tang Sect and Shrek. I’m really sorry about this.”

It was a great honor and a wonderful opportunity to have the Divine Craftsman of a generation taking this much time to guide him in his cultivation. How could he not feel sorry for saying that?

Zhen Hua looked at him deeply. He heaved a soft sigh. “Very well. Contact them, then. However, I believe that if they’re not near-sighted, they certainly won’t interfere with your cultivation.”

After expressing his apologies regretfully toward Zhen Hua again, he walked to the side and dialed a number on his soul communicator.

The first person he called was Long Yeyue. The reason he called Long Yeyue and not his foster mother was to have an objective answer. If it were the Holy Spirit Douluo, she would definitely think about this matter from his perspective. It was only natural that she would not stop him.

“Of course, you have to grab hold of a chance like this. Even without you here, the skies won’t fall on Shrek. You still have this old pile of bones here,” Long Yeyue’s reply was prompt and direct. This sentence was all she said.

Then, Tang Wulin called the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin.

“What are you hesitating for? The Tang Sect and Shrek need a Divine Craftsman. If I were Zhen Hua, I think I’d have clobbered you already. Haha! Go and learn forging from him, and do your best!” was the Amorous Douluo’s reply.

Tang Wulin turned to look at Zhen Hua. As expected, his uncle master’s expression was not pleasant.

He hastily walked over while keeping his head hung low. He came before Zhen Hua and said, “Uncle master, I was wrong.”

When Zhen Hua saw his seemingly remorseful appearance, he could not help but chide him. “What do you mean by wrong? Let’s go.”

Naturally, he would not blame Tang Wulin. Shrek and the Tang Sect were both Tang Wulin’s responsibilities. In truth, he was also awestruck when he learned that Tang Wulin had become the Tang Sect’s Sect Master and Shrek Academy’s decision-maker.

From the first time he met Tang Wulin, he had the feeling that he had found his successor. The only thing he did not expect was that this young man was not only highly gifted in matters of forging, but in other aspects as well. For the first time, Zhen Hua felt that it was not something bad for a person to be too outstanding. This was because there were too many challengers out there.

As the only Divine Craftsman on the continent, Zhen Hua had a great deal of pride in his bones. Even so, he had no choice but to fight for this disciple with the other parties. This was because he could never find another young man who was as gifted as this one in terms of forging. If he could not nurture him into a Divine Craftsman, Zhen Hua would turn in his grave.

If it were anyone else hesitating about his offer, he would have flailed his sleeves and left. However, he could only bear with this for Tang Wulin. Also, a responsible young man was not something that he disliked.

Zhen Hua had already thought of the way in which he would exact his revenge. Once Tang Wulin successfully became a Divine Craftsman, he would definitely leverage his contribution against him. He would add another title to Tang Wulin’s belt. He would be the president of the Blacksmith’s Association!

They made their way to the rooftop which had a huge glass dome. This building belonged to the Blacksmith’s Association. With seventy-eight floors, it was one of the tallest buildings in Mingdu City. None of the buildings around it had similar height.

The glass dome on the top floor resembled a giant glass ball resting on top of the building. When the skies were clear, once could make out details a hundred kilometers away from this spot.

If one looked at the surrounding buildings, they would seem small in an all-encompassing glance.

This immense rooftop had an area of more than two thousand square meters, and it looked extremely vast. However, there were three security checkpoints before a person could actually enter the area.

“I know this barrier looks like glass, but the protective standard according to which this glass barrier was made is the same as a mothership’s barrier. Even a Limit Douluo will be dreaming to barge in here just with his strength alone,” Zhen Hua explained to Tang Wulin.

The entire rooftop was empty. When he looked around him, he felt as if he was hovering in the air.

Tang Wulin exclaimed, “This is so breathtaking.”
