Chapter 3401: High Quality Divine Swords
Shaking his head gently, Ling Tong stopped thinking about Jian Chen’s relationship with the old clan leader. By now, he had already completed all of his preparations. He was about to forge the twin swords.
“Because the twin swords will be made to fit this time, I’ll need much of your cooperation throughout the forging process to ensure that it conforms to you perfectly. As a result, before they are forged, you can’t leave here, Jian Chen.” The clan leader of the Spiritsages looked at Jian Chen sternly.
“Please don’t worry, clan leader. I will do everything that I can to cooperate.” Jian Chen cupped his fist. His voice was filled with a sense of respect. The mighty clan leader of the Spiritsages was as esteemed as they came. He stood above millions, yet he was personally forging god artifacts for him; this truly was a large favour.
The clan leader of the Spiritsages said nothing more. In the next moment, a great energy rushed out from his body together with the immense pressure of a Grand Prime, immediately filling the space created by the fetal membrane of the world.
When he faced the Wind Venerable earlier, the clan leader had completely erased his presence and acted politely, which made it very difficult to connect him with a Grand Prime. Only at this moment did he truly demonstrate his strength.
Jian Chen subconsciously backed several hundred metres away and immediately became extremely stern. The clan leader of the Spiritsages was still a little too strong to Jian Chen right now. Just the pressure from his energy forced him back, preventing him from getting any closer.
“A mid Grand Prime? The clan leader of the Spiritsages should be a Fourth or Fifth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime,” Jian Chen thought to himself. With his current cultivation, he was obviously unable to tell the clan leader of the Spiritsages’ precise strength. He could only make a rough judgement according to his insight and experiences.
After all, he had come into contact with his fair share of mid Grand Primes. Ancestor Lan of the Heaven Crane clan, the Icepeer Founding Ancestor, and the Icecloud Founding Ancestor from the Snow sect on the Ice Pole Plane were all mid Grand Primes.
“The clan leader of the Spiritsages is visibly weaker compared to ancestor Lan of the Heavenly Crane clan. However, the structure of the Spiritsages is different from other organisations. In the Spiritsages, the position of clan leader is often held by the strongest person. Apart from the Wind Venerable, the clan leader of the Spiritsages is the strongest.”
Thinking up to there, Jian Chen could not help but sigh, feeling extremely sympathetic towards the Spiritsages’ decline.
As a glorious clan in the past, their strongest was only a Fifth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime if one removed the Wind Venerable from the picture.
They were probably even weaker than the Heavenly Crane clan on the Ice Pole Plane.
Of course, Jian Chen was also aware that while the Spiritsages’ peak strength was not as great as the Heavenly Crane clan, they were still a force to be reckoned with given their heritage.
Before Jian Chen could think too much about it, a terrifying heat filled his face. The rolling waves of heat immediately torched his face until it was bright-red, forcing him to back away further yet again.
The clan leader of the Spiritsages converted his immense energy to roaring flames. He had already begun melting the materials. He merged together multiple materials according to a fixed process, forging them through a unique method.
In particular, some of the materials were so tough that it was extremely strenuous to meld them together even with the clan leader’s strength, requiring several days to complete.
Jian Chen sat in the distance, focusing on the clan leader as he forged the artifacts. Jian Chen could tell with a single glance that the method he used took an extremely severe toll on his energy. The flames he used to melt the various resources was a result of his tremendous energy.
Given the rate, even a Fifth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime like him probably could not last for too long.
“When it comes to the Way of Smithing, the clan leader of the Spiritsages is nowhere close to the Rain Abbess.” Jian Chen could not help but recall how the Rain Abbess had used less than a month to forge the twin swords back then.
Only when he recalled it carefully now did Jian Chen suddenly discover that the Rain Abbess’s mastery over the Way of Smithing had reached such an unbelievable level.
Even though they were only medium quality god artifacts, completing them in under a month was still startling speed.
Before he knew it, the clan leader of the Spiritsages had already spent several years forging the artifacts. The twin swords were still in the process of being forged. They had not even taken shape yet. All the materials were still liquid.
“Jian Chen, give me a droplet of your blood!” Ling Tong’s voice rang out at this moment.
Jian Chen did not hesitate, immediately extracting a droplet of chaotic essence blood.
As soon as the chaotic essence blood appeared, the Wind Venerable looked over. Sensing the presence that he could not be any more familiar with, his expression immediately became mixed, filled with a sense of melancholy.
Ling Tong furrowed his brows and bellowed out, “Not essence blood. Regular blood works too. We still haven’t reached the phase that requires essence blood.”
Jian Chen absorbed the chaotic essence blood awkwardly and cut open his finger, extracting a droplet of regular blood.
With a wave of his hand, a droplet of chaotic blood immediately flew over, mixing with the liquid materials.
Perhaps because he was forging high quality god artifacts, the entire process took Ling Tong an extremely long time. He would require some regular blood from Jian Chen from time to time. Before he knew it, a century had already passed.
After spending an entire century forging artifacts, Ling Tong’s energy finally began to run out. He swallowed a few God Tier pills to recover.
Just like that, after a hundred and fifty years, the twin swords finally began to take shape.
Jian Chen, who watched the entire process from the side, could not help but beam slightly in joy. Even though the twin swords had only taken shape slightly, he could already sense the tremendous power inside.
That was because these swords were among the ranks of high quality god artifacts!
Ling Tong continued with his forging process in an orderly manner. Along the way, Jian Chen also cooperated with him many times, sometimes providing regular blood and sometimes providing his Chaotic Force. He even ended up using a sliver of the power of his soul.
In the end, he even exhausted a droplet of chaotic essence blood, used for one last refinement of the twin swords.
Finally, after three centuries, a tremendous presence erupted in the fetal membrane of the world. A powerful sword Qi swept through the surroundings, cutting through everything and even leaving Jian Chen slightly stern.
Dazzling violet and azure light filled every inch of the space there. The two swords seemed like two scorching suns that illuminated the world. Their light filled the world and shone with the brightest splendour.
The clan leader of the Spiritsages had used three centuries and consumed many high quality God Tier pills before finally forging the twin swords completely.
Gazing at the twin swords that hovered above Ling Tong’s head, Jian Chen who had waited for three centuries could not help but smile from the bottom of his heart.
“I’ve succeeded, fortunately. I’ve successfully forged the twin swords.” The clan leader of the Spiritsages exhaled deeply. His face was filled with undisguised fatigue, but he continued to smile away happily.
He had completed the old clan leader’s request!
Ling Tong extended his finger. The twin swords hovering over his head immediately arrived before Jian Chen. He said with some exhaustion, “Both of these swords have reached the level of high quality god artifacts. What you see right now are the twin swords in their complete form.”
“However, the two saint cores embedded on the hilts are removable. If you remove the saint cores, the twin swords won’t change in terms of toughness, but their might will fall to the level of medium quality god artifacts.”
“I’ve already forged the twin swords as per the old clan leader’s request, Jian Chen. See if you’re satisfied with them.”
