Chapter 1059: Refining a Magic Weapon

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Flames spread in all directions, and all kinds of different materials fused perfectly according to a certain proportion. Flowing light and vibrant colors could be seen. At this time, a unique and brand-new combination of materials was formed.

Right at this moment, Ou Yangming’s eyes flashed with a bright light, and he pressed down with both hands. Amidst the snow-white flames, a huge sword slowly took shape. This huge sword was at least 3 meters long and did not have a sharp cutting edge. Just as the saying went, heavy swords are often edgeless, while true craftsmanship was not manifested through delicate touches.

Equipment refinement had been integrated into Ou Yangming’s instincts. Besides, after all these years of smithing, he had also learned the ability to use appropriate methods according to people, by which he would not be inflexible.

This was also Ou Yangming’s tactful character.

He had heard from Lil’ Red that Feng Mu liked huge swords. Since he had to refine a weapon this time, he deliberately made use of the opportunity to win the favor of that supreme powerhouse.

This was because he was clear that if he wanted to establish a foothold in the Great Wide World, he would not be able to bypass the 2 great mountains, which were the Dragons and the Phoenixes.

The 2 races had stirred up a war in the Great Wide World, and their battle situation spread across countless worlds. This kind of strength was indeed beyond Ou Yangming’s imagination.

Therefore, since he could not escape, he had to strengthen his relationship with them. Otherwise, with his cultivation level, it would be difficult for him to even move an inch in the Great Wide World.

In actuality, Ou Yangming was thinking too much. With the talent that he had displayed and the indisputable bloodline of a king in his body, the side that Feng Xiang represented would do anything they could to fawn over him. As for what the Main Combat Sect was thinking, nobody knew.

Seeing the giant sword gradually taking shape, the phoenix powerhouses clicked their tongues and thought, ‘His smithing speed is truly incredible.’

‘I’ve really lived my whole life like a miserable dog. His attainments in smithing are too terrifying!’ Phoenix powerhouses naturally possessed the Phoenixes’ flames, so their attainments in forging were not weak. Especially when they noticed Ou Yangming’s age, all the thoughts in their hearts instantly dissipated. It was worth noting that all things had spirit. Every year, even a pine tree’s pith would have an extra ring grown around it.

It was the same for humans.

One’s aura could be disguised, but the growth rings left behind every year could not be erased.

This was why the phoenix powerhouses were so shocked. Ou Yangming was really too young. If it were not for the fact that one’s age could not be faked, they would not believe it no matter what.

Ou Yangming spat out a mouthful of foul Qi, and the image of the poisonous pill’s world evolving into great paths suddenly appeared in his mind.

The sky seemed to have turned into threads that continuously collapsed then expanded outward. Countless grey colors flowed from the outside to the inside.

1 path turned into 10 paths, and 10 paths turned into 100 paths; they were changing all the time. The sky was gloomy, where light green Qi floated in the sky while heavy turbid Qi fell to the ground. At this time, many turbulent currents surged. Especially the cluster of continuously expanding nebulae in the sky, it was mysterious and distant, profound and had a special charm flowing within it.

Ou Yangming had seen this scene many times, so he was not unfamiliar with it.

All of a sudden, life appeared in this world.

Although it was faint and tiny, it was still life.

The birth of life represented boundless vitality, the perfection of the 3,000 great paths, and endless potential.

Ou Yangming had unknowingly entered the state of the connection between Heaven and man, and his eyes had slowly closed.

Nevertheless, the movements from his hands did not stop. Instead of being obscure, his movements were smoother and more practiced.

He thought to himself, ‘The giant sword was like a fierce tiger. It can’t be stopped and has stirred up 1,000 layers of waves. All the barriers have been shattered. Since that’s the case, I’ll use the true meaning of the word “heavy” to its maximum potential. When the sword is slashed out, it’ll be like a giant dragon crashing into the ground. It can shatter the sky and make the ground collapse, and nothing can stop it.’

The thought flashed through his mind like an electric arc!

He raised his right hand, and his right index finger drew in the air.

Each move was heavy and majestic. Whenever he drew, it was as if the world was about to tremble. If one looked closely, they would be able to see that with each stroke, the ground beneath the young fellow’s feet cracked open, and a web-like mark spread out in all directions.

When the last stroke was made, the terrace shook.

It was as if it was suddenly pressed down by a mountain and sank several centimeters.

The word “heavy” could be seen on the heavy sword. It was ancient and distant, heavy and simple.

Feng Duxin looked at the huge sword, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He thought to himself, ‘You b*stard, can’t you slow down a little? With such speed, you’re asking me to… Where will my image go? I’m one of the top 100 blacksmiths in the Phoenixes!’

He understood that Ou Yangming was so fast because of the Heavenly Phoenix Fire that he possessed, but not even half of his weapon had taken form yet. His refinement speed was not even half of the young fellow’s.

With so many people watching, this really made Feng Duxin jealous. He had the thought of flipping the table and stopping refining. He wanted to escape as soon as possible.

It was indeed because Ou Yangming was too young that Feng Duxin felt like he was being forced to death.

Ou Yangming held the giant sword. The sword was 3 meters long, and the tip of the sword was dragging on the ground. The cold air it released was awe-inspiring. No matter how one looked at it, it gave off a domineering feeling.

Feng Xiao’s face was pale. He gritted his teeth and slowly walked to the terrace. He smiled bitterly and asked, “Master Ou, uhm… I’ll appraise the equipment?” His attitude was very different from before. After all, he was really afraid.

Ou Yangming could go against someone beyond his level, and his talent was unparalleled.

Now, he had displayed another shocking smithing skill. This was simply indescribable.

Ou Yangming’s face was calm as he responded softly, “Appraise the equipment.”

Feng Xiao hurriedly nodded. Afraid that he would be too slow, he took 2 steps and walked in front of Ou Yangming. He swept his gaze over and felt that several iron horses were galloping in his mind. The old man immediately confirmed that the quality of the equipment was extraordinary, so he cupped his hands and smiled. “Congratulations, Master Ou, for taking the lead.” He had no choice but to express his goodwill to the young fellow.

Ou Yangming took a deep breath. After adjusting his breathing, he expressed softly, “Thanks for the trouble, Elder Feng!” He could not bring himself to hit a smiling person.

Feng Xiao was pleasantly surprised. He quickly waved his hand and said, “It’s not a problem, it’s not a problem. This is my duty.”

As soon as he finished, a powerful spiritual power swept out and reached into the longsword. Right away, the word on the longsword lit up. It was dark and profound. A colorful light floated above the longsword, and rows of data appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.

[Item: Giant Mountain-shaking Sword]

[Equivalent Rank: Magic Weapon, Low Grade, Rank One]

[Attributes: Toughness +41, Power +2 (White Silver), Agility +2 (White Silver), Durability 41 (1 Point will be recovered every day)]

[Skill: Edgeless Heavy Sword (Uses blood essence as a guide to activate the true intent of the sword’s heaviness, able to shatter all barriers. Note: This skill is related to one’s cultivation. The stronger one’s cultivation, the greater its power)]

“Isn’t… Isn’t Master Ou’s smithing technique too strong? In such a short period, he smithed a magic weapon? A magic weapon! Even a Ruler might not have a magic weapon!” A phoenix powerhouse holding a cattail leaf fan remarked softly, his eyes were filled with envy. A faint thought appeared in his heart. ‘If I can be on good terms with Master Ou and ask him to smith a magic weapon for me, he wouldn’t refuse, right?’ With this thought, his heart instantly warmed up.

Many phoenix powerhouses also thought the same.

“Hmph, you’re short-sighted!” Someone snorted discontentedly and continued, “Have you noticed something else? The giant sword has a very powerful skill that increases with one’s cultivation,” another phoenix powerhouse commented coldly.

Not only that, but even the Rulers present revealed looks of envy as they thought to themselves. ‘The Peacemaking Sect has truly picked up a treasure this time.’ They were also considering whether or not they should join them.

These powerhouses exchanged looks with each other, but their gazes were deep and unfathomable.

Feng Xinxiao’s arms were sometimes tense and sometimes relaxed. He smiled bitterly and thought to himself, ‘It’s just getting worse.’ He could not understand this no matter how hard he tried. ‘This fella’s so young! Putting aside his notable cultivation, even his smithing skills are outstanding. Even if he had started learning in his mother’s womb, he couldn’t have reached such a level, right? I’ve really seen a ghost!’

At this moment, a faint fear rose in the heart of this famous powerhouse in the Phoenixes’ ancestral land.

His body shrunk a little, and he forcefully spat out a mouthful of cold mist. Only then did he suppress these thoughts.

He stared unblinkingly at Feng Duxin and thought, ‘You must fight for our reputation!’

Having said that, Feng Xinxiao knew that it would be difficult for even Feng Duxin to refine a magic weapon just like that. The pressure on him was enormous at this time.

Despite that, at this point, there was no way out. Feng Xinxiao could only face the difficulties head-on and could only cut through the thorns.

At this moment, Ou Yangming had become a tiger in the eyes of others.

Feng Xiang’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the huge sword. He thought to himself, ‘Feng Lin was right! His smithing skills are truly unimaginable.’

It was indeed unimaginable. Feng Xiang had been to the Spiritual Realm, but the cultivation environment there was terrible. However, such a freak was born in that harsh environment. The old man’s heart was faintly filled with anticipation. ‘Since his smithing techniques have reached such a level, what about his attainments in pill refinement and formations? Will they be remarkable as well?’ Even so, he quickly got rid of the thought.

He thought to himself, ‘How could that be possible? At such an age, he has become a top-grade Venerable One and can even refine magic weapons. How could he still have the energy to invest in other aspects?’

…

After about 15 minutes, Feng Duxin’s gaze focused.

A short saber slowly took shape in the flames. The saber was only a meter long, and a cold light radiated in all directions. It looked incomparably sharp.

At the spur of the moment, Feng Duxin’s finger lightly brushed the saber’s edge, and a drop of the Dragons’ blood essence spread along the blade. His hands quickly made a gesture, and he said in a deep voice, “Sharpen!” This was the Phoenixes’ unique Blood Essence Sharpening Technique, and it had a certain chance to raise the quality of the spiritual tool. That said, if one failed, the equipment would become scrap metal. If it was a normal day, Feng Duxin would not use this secret technique at all because he was afraid of failure due to the uncertainty. Under the heavy pressure from Ou Yangming, he had no choice but to take a gamble.

If Feng Duxin did not take a risk, he would lose without a doubt. He was fighting for the narrow change.

He could only be victorious by smithing a piece of equipment that was greater than a Low Grade magic tool.
