"What a treasure!"

"The God-binding Rope on the surface is filled with Spiritual Light, shimmering at least thirteen layers deep. This is a Superior Class C treasure, probably powerful enough to deal with someone in the Early Divine Spirit Realm."

"This treasure is not easily forged!"

"The harder it is to forge a treasure, the more it can demonstrate our strength. Master Craftsman Gu Ya, I will take on this task."

"Count me in!"

"If others can do it, so can I. Old Yu will also take on this task!"

One after another, the master craftsmen in attendance spoke up, vying with one another in their eagerness not to miss out on the opportunity to accept the task.

Cui Lin turned his head with a smile to look at Zhao Jingyan, "Brother Zhao, aren't you planning to try accepting a task?"

A Superior Class C treasure, for someone like me possessing the door god's craft, forging it would be a breeze.

Zhao Jingyan pondered for a few seconds, then also spoke, "Master Craftsman Gu Ya, count me in for the task of forging the God-binding Rope."

In the midst of the Black Mist, when Master Craftsman Gu Ya heard Zhao Jingyan's declaration, he nodded in acknowledgement, signaling his approval.

After everyone had accepted their tasks, they left the meeting one by one, but Zhao Jingyan continued sitting in his seat, unmoved.

When only Zhao Jingyan and Cui Lin remained in the meeting place, Master Craftsman Gu Ya finally turned his attention to them.

"Greetings, Master Craftsman Gu Ya!"

Zhao Jingyan stood up, bowing his hands in salute to Master Craftsman Gu Ya.

"Master Craftsman Zhao stays behind, do you have questions for me?" Master Craftsman Gu Ya's calm wave of the hand exuded confidence, giving off the feeling that everything was under his control.

He actually guessed my intention—this Master Craftsman Gu Ya is truly remarkable!

Zhao Jingyan inwardly sighed, realizing that not only was Master Craftsman Gu Ya's strength unfathomable, but his mind was also extremely sharp. He hurriedly replied respectfully, "As the true master said, Zhao Jingyan indeed has some questions to seek guidance on."

Master Craftsman Gu Ya gestured with his hand, indicating for Zhao Jingyan to continue.

Zhao Jingyan bowed again, "May I ask, could I obtain information about Mutated Beings from beyond our realm or Thunder God Qing Jie in this meeting?"

Master Craftsman Gu Ya lifted a hand, the Black Mist stilled, casting an aura of serenity around him, "It's a small matter. These pieces of information are not a challenge for me; I can provide everything you wish to know."

He claims he can provide everything I want to know—that's a bold statement, but is it true or just bragging?

Zhao Jingyan was taken aback. The boldness of Master Craftsman Gu Ya's words once again exceeded his expectations.

He began to doubt Master Craftsman Gu Ya's abilities.

But as soon as the doubt arose, Master Craftsman Gu Ya sensed it.

In that instant, an overwhelmingly oppressive force emanated from Master Craftsman Gu Ya. All of a sudden, the figure seated before Zhao Jingyan vanished. Zhao Jingyan felt his body sinking, the sky getting higher, and the surroundings increasingly dark. When he regained his senses, he found himself at the bottom of the Bottomless Abyss, his entire body engulfed in a thick, blood-like liquid that continually emitted a Foul Smell.

"Ah~"

Zhao Jingyan snapped back to his senses, jolted into cold sweat.

So formidable! Facing this man, I had no power to resist. This Master Craftsman Gu Ya must at least be at the Peak of the Divine Spirit Realm, possibly even in the True God Realm.

I wonder, between Brother Mu and Master Craftsman Gu Ya, who is the more powerful?

The might of Master Craftsman Gu Ya inevitably led Zhao Jingyan to think of True Gods and he couldn't help but speculate in secret about who between Xiao Mu and Master Craftsman Gu Ya was stronger.

"Hehe!"

Soft laughter echoed from within the Black Mist, and Master Craftsman Gu Ya sat tranquilly in his chair, as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened.

A chill ran down Zhao Jingyan's back; this Master Craftsman Gu Ya was too powerful, and the recent experience left no doubt in his mind that the other could kill him with a mere gesture.

With Master Craftsman Gu Ya being so strong, he had no need to lie to me.

The display of formidable power by Master Craftsman Gu Ya involuntarily made Zhao Jingyan believe him, and he asked respectfully, "How may I obtain this Information?"

"Very simple, forge treasures for me. Try your hand at forging the God-binding Rope first, as an assessment. If you successfully forge it, I will have other tasks for you." Master Craftsman Gu Ya instructed indifferently.

"Yes, Master, I accept the task!" Zhao Jingyan agreed respectfully.

Master Craftsman Gu Ya waved his hand, and the voice from within the mist suddenly sounded somewhat hoarse, "Don't be too hasty to agree. This meeting organized by myself is confidential, you had no right to participate. It is only because of Cui Lin's guaranty that you were allowed to join."

"To prevent the leak of information, I must impose certain restrictions on you. I will implant a power within your Divine Sense."

"A power planted within the Divine Sense?"

Zhao Jingyan was startled. Divine Sense is the soul, for Mutated Beings at the True Realm, it represents the core of cultivation, the basis of their Divine Spirit.

Master Craftsman Gu Ya was indifferent to Zhao Jingyan's reaction, explaining casually, "The power I will implant in your Divine Sense is like a lock, simply to prevent you from revealing information about the meeting. Beyond that, it is harmless to you."

"Of course, you can choose to refuse. If you do, I will use my authority to erase the memories of your time here and let you leave as if you had never come. The choice is yours to make, and I will not force you."

"This..."

Zhao Jingyan was initially worried, but Master Craftsman Gu Ya's words put him in a dilemma.

After some thought, Zhao Jingyan couldn't help but ask, "If I refuse the restrictions, can I still exchange for the information I want from the meeting?"
