Chapter 157 Tip's overtures
"It's you!" The illusory demon god was startled. If he hadn't been firmly bound by the manifested chains of cosmic laws, he probably would have turned and fled long ago.
This shows how much psychological trauma the original ancestors inflicted on them back then.
The progenitor was a tenth-tier powerhouse, invincible in the cosmic sea, and even the strongest beings in the universe had fallen at his hands.
The human race was so powerful back then that even the strongest beings in the solitary universe dared not provoke them.
"Hahaha, True Demon God, how have you been?" The Primordial Ancestor laughed heartily. "Since you dared to assassinate my human powerhouse, I have no choice but to give you a proper welcome."
He was able to monitor the outside world through the virtual universe, and naturally discovered the battle between the True Demon God and Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan is the hope of the human race. For him to dare to assassinate Qi Yuan is to make an enemy of the entire human race.
The primordial soul power transformed into sharp arrows that pierced through the air.
The illusory demon god felt the sharp attack of soul power, and his face turned deathly pale instantly.
He tried his best to resist, his aura surging wildly as he attempted to condense a shield to block the soul arrows.
However, the primordial ancestor's soul power was too strong, and those sharp arrows easily pierced through his barely formed defenses, stabbing fiercely into his soul.
The illusory demon god let out a painful scream, the excruciating pain in his soul almost causing him to faint. His body trembled violently within the chains of cosmic laws.
As the soul arrows continued to pierce, cracks began to appear in the soul of the illusory demon god.
Fortunately, they were all suppressed by the original will of the Yu Shen at this time and could not unleash their full strength.
Therefore, the primordial's soul attack was still within the range that the illusory demon god could withstand and would not pose a threat to his life.
However, this made the illusory demon god miserable, as he became a punching bag for the primordial ancestor to test his secret techniques, getting hit every now and then.
At first, the illusory demon god would beg for mercy, hoping that the primordial ancestor would let him go. But later, when the primordial ancestor really let him go and stopped paying attention to him, he felt extremely lonely.
After being suppressed by the will of the universe, they could not cultivate, nor could they do anything else, leaving them only with boredom and loneliness.
In this respect, the Primordial Ancestor is different. He can practice secret techniques and observe the outside world through the virtual universe, and can even appear in the virtual universe.
Therefore, after countless years, the illusory demon god took the initiative to provoke the primordial ancestor. Even though he suffered soul attacks and was in excruciating pain, it was still much better than this long period of loneliness.
The progenitor shook his head inwardly; this old fellow was probably going mad.
He ignored him and disappeared, leaving the illusory demon god to provoke and curse him.
In this suppressed land, the surroundings are nothingness. There is no way to cultivate, no way to see the outside world, and no way to do anything. One can only live numbly.
The thought of this eternal torment drove the illusory demon god to the brink of collapse, his eyes filled with fear and despair.
Of course, that happened a long time later.
As the great war spread, the name of the Lord of Origin resounded throughout the universe, and all the powerful beings of all races were extremely wary of him, even the strongest solitary beings in the universe.
In the past, the strongest individuals in the universe who roamed alone had a rather detached attitude when facing the various races.
They were not afraid of even the six top-tier clans.
Because of the burden of their clans, the powerful figures of these top clans are actually more wary of them.
But now a figure like Qi Yuan has appeared. No matter what method he used, the False Demon God has been permanently suppressed, which is no different from being dead. They don't want to end up in such a situation.
Even the strongest being in the solitary universe is so wary of this, one can imagine how the universe lords and strongest beings of other races are, and they all restrained their actions.
-
Suddenly, the deterrent power of human races increased dramatically.
A hidden wonderland of nature, a submerged volcano.
Ever since Qi Yuan began learning treasure refining here, Master Peng Gong has sealed off this secret realm, leaving it for Qi Yuan to use alone.
The flames burned fiercely, and the heat spread continuously in all directions.
Qi Yuan stood in the center of the sinking volcano, staring intently at the materials in front of him.
He threw the precious materials into the furnace in a specific order, and after they melted, he took them out and hammered them with a giant hammer.
This giant hammer is a top-tier treasure weapon specially created by Master Peng Gong for refining treasures.
His every move was incredibly precise, as if he were not refining a treasure, but rather creating a masterpiece of art.
Ding ding ding, dong dong dong dong————
As the giant hammer swung, it triggered the laws of the universe, causing the entire submerged volcano to tremble slightly.
As time passed, the materials gradually fused together, emitting a strange light.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Qi Yuan's forehead, but his gaze grew even more determined.
He knew that there was no room for carelessness in the process of refining treasures, and any small mistake could lead to the failure of all previous efforts.
Under the scorching heat of the flames and the constant hammering of the treasure-refining hammer, the material's form changed continuously, gradually forming a vague prototype.
Qi Yuan took a deep breath, concentrated all his energy, and began to inscribe the secret techniques of the laws.
The power of laws, like nimble threads, wrapped around the nascent form, endowing it with unique attributes and power.
Suddenly, a violent tremor came from the volcano, and the surrounding flames became even more violent.
This is a necessary test during the treasure-refining process.
Qi Yuan clenched his fists tightly. He knew that only by successfully overcoming this tribulation could he forge a truly powerful magic weapon.
He mobilized his own power to continuously inscribe the secret patterns of the treasure.
The power of laws surged within him, continuously channeling energy into the nascent treasure, attempting to stabilize its form.
At this crucial moment, Qi Yuan's mind flashed back to all the knowledge and experience he had gained from learning how to refine magical artifacts.
This made him more adept at it, and his movements became faster and more fluid.
Finally, a brilliant light shone forth, and a brand new supreme weapon was born.
"A treasure! I have finally crafted a treasure!" Qi Yuan's face showed a relieved smile.
Although he had only crafted an ordinary treasure, it was enough to excite him.
After all, there are very few weapon refiners in the universe who can forge supreme treasures, and each of them has an extraordinary status, enough to be called a weapon refiner master.
Meanwhile, outside the Heavenly Craft Secret Realm, Master Peng Gong noticed the unusual activity of the Sinking Volcano.
His gaze swept over, and an expression of astonishment appeared on his face: "It hasn't been long, and the Lord of Origin has already learned to refine ordinary supreme treasures! It seems his talent in weapon crafting isn't much lower than his talent in the laws. For such a well-rounded and top-tier genius to appear in the world is truly a supreme blessing from the universe! It's fortunate he was born into our human race, otherwise, things would be much more troublesome—"
Just as they were marveling at this, they suddenly saw a cosmic venerable of the snake-man race arrive outside the Heavenly Craft Secret Realm and send a telepathic message towards the sinking volcano inside, wanting to visit Qi Yuan.
"Tip?" Master Peng recognized him at a glance. He was a very ancient cosmic venerable, and then stopped paying attention to him.
After all, Qi Yuan is already the Lord of the Universe, and his strength is even greater than his own, so he doesn't need to interfere too much in other people's affairs.
When Qi Yuan heard Tipu respectfully ask if he could come in to pay his respects, he immediately agreed.
Tipu entered the Sunken Volcano and, upon seeing Qi Yuan, respectfully bowed and said, "Lord of Origin, I have long admired your name. I have come to present a gift. I have heard that you are studying treasure refining. I have a treasure refining master's inheritance here, which I obtained during my adventures in a secret cosmic realm. This treasure refining master's inheritance is very comprehensive, recording many unique treasure refining techniques, making it more valuable than the notes and manuscripts of many treasure refining masters. However, I lack the talent and interest in this area, so I intend to offer it to you."
Qi Yuan nodded slightly, signaling Tip to get up.
His gaze was peaceful and profound. He knew that "Tip" was just an avatar of his, and his real name was "Putti". He was the chief disciple of the Mountain Lord and a true master of the universe!
"So, this treasure-refining inheritance might have been given to me by the Mountain-Sitting Guest!" Qi Yuan thought to himself as he looked at Tipu. "The Mountain-Sitting Guest is a god-king who is skilled in treasure refining. Even the most basic of his treasure-refining inheritance must be extremely precious, probably unique in the entire universe. Hmm, it seems that my unusual behavior has attracted the attention of the Mountain-Sitting Guest, which is why he sent his disciple to test me with this inheritance."
Although he was being targeted by a reincarnated god-king, Qi Yuan was not flustered at all.
Because the Mountain Dweller is constantly being watched by the primordial will of the universe, if he deviates even slightly from the norm, he will immediately be suppressed by the primordial will of the universe.
As the "Child of the Universe," Qi Yuan's weight in the will of the universe even far surpasses that of the three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Sect!
If the Mountain-Sitting Guest tries to deal with him, he will surely be suppressed by the will of the universe.
That cunning old fellow, the Mountain-Sitting Guest, would never allow the Original Will to find any fault with him.
Qi Yuan's mind raced, and he suddenly had more ideas. Since this old fellow, Zuo Shan Ke, had delivered himself to his doorstep, it would be a disservice to the dignified God King of Jin if he didn't fleece him thoroughly.
I believe that in order to get revenge, he would never hesitate to spend a large sum of money as long as there is even the slightest hope.
After reaching the level of being able to refine supreme treasures, Qi Yuan's treasure refining technique reached a bottleneck.
This is true for the vast majority of treasure-making masters in the universe; very few treasure-making masters are capable of crafting high-grade treasures.
If Qi Yuan could get in touch with the Mountain Hermit and receive his guidance, it would definitely allow him to make further progress on his path of treasure refining.
He said, "I will remember this kindness of giving me such a precious inheritance."
Tip smiled and replied, "The Lord of Origin has made enormous contributions to the universe, and it is my honor to have the opportunity to offer this legacy. Moreover, I believe that in your hands, this legacy can play an even greater role."
"I will bestow this treasure, which I have just crafted, upon you," Qi Yuan said.
After declining several times, Tipp saw that Qi Yuan was determined and had no choice but to thank him and accept the gift.
On the surface, it seems that Tipu actually made a profit by exchanging an ordinary treasure for a treasure-refining inheritance.
But in reality, as a master of the universe, he has no need for ordinary treasures.
There was nothing he could do; he had to hide his identity, and he even had to act all grateful, which made Qi Yuan want to laugh.
Then the two chatted for a while, talking about the secrets of the universe. Tip was obviously more experienced in this regard, after all, he was billions of years older than Qi Yuan, so he talked to Qi Yuan about his own experiences in a very detailed way.
Qi Yuan asked curiously, "During your travels in the universe, have you encountered any other extraordinary events related to treasure refining?"
After a moment's thought, Tip said, "In the secret realm where I discovered this treasure-refining master's legacy, I also saw a mysterious furnace. The runes engraved on its surface were very strange, unlike anything from our primordial universe; they seemed to come from an infinitely distant ancient era. Judging from its size, it appeared to be a special treasure-refining furnace. It emitted a strange light, covering a distance of more than one light-year in diameter, and contained extremely powerful energy. Unfortunately, I couldn't take it with me."
Qi Yuan asked with great interest, "What's so special about that treasure-refining furnace?"
Tip described it in detail: "Its material is extremely special, and the furnace body is covered with mysterious runes. As the runes flicker, it seems as if one can hear the ancient sounds of refining treasures. Moreover, at the furnace mouth, there is a faint flame. That flame is not like an ordinary flame; it is extremely hot but not scorching."
As Qi Yuan listened to Tip's description, a desire to explore arose in his heart.
He said, "If I had the chance, I would really like to go to that secret realm and see this treasure-refining furnace." Tip smiled and said, "If the Lord of Origin is so inclined, I can provide you with the location information of that secret realm. Perhaps you can gain even more there."
Qi Yuan nodded his thanks, but in his heart he wondered: Could this be a further test arranged by that old fellow, the Mountain Guest?
However, Qi Yuan was happy to pretend he knew nothing, as he also wanted to see how many treasures he could extract from the mountain dweller.
At this moment, his enthusiasm for refining treasures grew even stronger, and he began to plan his journey to that mysterious cosmic realm.
Seeing Qi Yuan's expression, Tip knew that he had achieved his goal in giving the gift. He bowed respectfully again and said, "Lord of Origin, if you have any questions during the treasure-refining process, please feel free to contact me. Although I don't have much talent in treasure-refining, I do know some related knowledge and have refined some treasures before."
Qi Yuan believed this. As a universe master, and having been around a reincarnated god-king like Zuo Shan Ke, who was known for refining treasures, for so long, he must have some genuine insights.
After seeing Tipu off, Qi Yuan began reading the basic treasure-refining inheritance of the Mountain Guest.
This transmission is very detailed, starting with the most basic materials and going up to the complex inscription of rules, explaining each step in great detail.
Qi Yuan was completely absorbed in it, eagerly absorbing the knowledge.
He sometimes frowned in thought, and sometimes conducted simulations in the virtual universe.
As Qi Yuan delved deeper into his reading, he discovered that this legacy contained many unique insights and innovative ideas.
For example, in terms of material fusion, Zuoshanke has proposed a brand-new method that guides the power of the laws of the universe to make the fusion process more natural and efficient.
