Chapter 3015: Chapter 2990: Destiny and Glory!
"What are the conditions, Senior, please tell me!" Lin Bai said with a smile.
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "The first condition, I will forge this sword for you, and you must ensure that it reveals its anticipated brilliance across All Heavens and Myriad Realms!"
Lin Bai nodded and said, "I promise you!"
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures continued, "The second condition, if someone asks who crafted this sword for you, you cannot say it was me, nor can you say it was forged by the Pangu Sect!"
Lin Bai nodded and said, "In the future, if someone asks about the origin of this sword, I will say that I forged it myself!"
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures nodded and said, "Good, I will forge this sword for you, and I will not leave any trace on it, nor will I leave any mark of the Pangu Sect or mine!"
"The third condition, if one day, you reach the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm and kill those you want to kill, then, in consideration of me forging this weapon for you, please assist the disciples of the Pangu Sect in returning to the Spirit Realm!"
Lin Bai chuckled lightly and said, "Although I have never been to the Spirit Realm, hearing you speak, it seems the Pangu Sect is a Great Sect there as well!"
"Alright, I agree, if one day I can stand at the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm, holding my destiny, I will help the disciples of the Pangu Sect return to the Spirit Realm, establish their sect and let the glory of the Pangu Sect be seen once more!"
Hearing Lin Bai agree to all three requests.
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures nodded slightly, picked up the Chaos Divine Iron from the ground, and said softly, "To forge a weapon from Chaos Divine Iron, you first need to melt the Divine Iron, and this process is not easy!"
"It will probably take some time!"
Lin Bai asked, "How long will it take to forge this sword?"
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures calculated carefully and said, "At the fastest, half a year, at the slowest, ten years!"
Lin Bai frowned and shook his head, "That’s too long, I can’t wait that long!"
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures said, "This is already the fastest time, Chaos Divine Iron is not like other Divine Irons, if you wish to forge a weapon from it, then you must invest some time!"
Lin Bai calmed his mind, thought for a long time, and asked, "Can it be forged in half a year?"
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures frowned and, after a long contemplation, said, "I’m not sure, I can’t determine the crafting time because I’ve never forged a weapon from Chaos Divine Iron, so during the crafting process, if there are any other problems, I must stop and find solutions!"
"Therefore, I cannot guarantee how long it will take!"
"But I can assure you, I will immediately announce my seclusion until I complete forging the Demonic Sword for you!"
Lin Bai pondered for a long time, nodded, and said, "Alright, then let’s set a period of half a year first!"
"If after half a year, I am still in the Southern Continent, I will come again to Fire Lotus Mountain, if Senior has finished forging it, I will personally retrieve it!"
"If half a year later, I am no longer in the Southern Continent, I would trouble Senior to send the crafted Demonic Sword to Emperor Xiao of the Shenwu Kingdom in the East Continent Territory!"
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures nodded and said, "Alright!"
Lin Bai stood up and said, "Then I will trouble you, Senior, I will come to disturb you again in half a year!"
After speaking, the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures escorted Lin Bai to the door.
And Lin Bai turned around and walked down Fire Lotus Mountain.
...
When Lin Bai reached the base of the Main Peak of Fire Lotus Mountain, he saw five figures standing on the Gu Dao in front, among them was Hu Qi, someone Lin Bai recognized!
As for the others, Lin Bai also recognized Luo Jia, Chen Zhixiao, and Lady Qin Xin.
Upon seeing Hu Qi, Lin Bai’s face broke into a happy smile, and he immediately walked over, saying with a laugh, "Hu Qi, why are you at Fire Lotus Mountain?"
Hu Qi, upon seeing Lin Bai, looked somewhat pale and managed a slight smile, saying, "I was originally the last disciple of the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures, I was just traveling in the East Continent before!"
Lin Bai said in surprise, "You are actually the last disciple of the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures..."
At this moment, Luo Jia, expressionless, said, "Lin Bai, let me ask you, did you request my Master to forge a weapon for you?"
Lin Bai nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, this is the privilege I gained for placing first in the Life Anniversary Martial Arts Competition, is there a problem with that?"
Chen Zhixiao hurriedly asked, "Then did my Master agree?"
Lin Bai nodded and said, "He agreed, saying he would immediately go into seclusion to forge a weapon for me!"
Hearing Lin Bai’s words, everyone had a lost expression on their faces.
Even Hu Qi’s face showed a look of distress and dejection.
Lin Bai frowned and asked, "Hu Qi, why do you all look so troubled?"
Hu Qi looked up at Lin Bai, hesitant to speak.
Lin Bai said coldly, "Hu Qi, what is going on after all? Between you and me, brothers, is there anything we cannot say?"
Hu Qi looked up at Lin Bai and said, "Lin Bai, my Master is a disciple of the Pangu Sect!"
"Every disciple of the Pangu Sect, before refining artifacts, will use divination to align with Tiandao!"
"Within the Pangu Sect, there is a rule, named Ten Sons Conform to Heaven, Five Black Not Forged, Six Black Not Kept, Seven Black Retreat from the World, Eight Black Certain Death..."
"And before this Life Anniversary, my Master also performed divination for this forging, and the result was a Nine Black scheme, which is a situation of certain death!"
Hu Qi spoke solemnly to Lin Bai, "We originally wanted to use the Dried Well Scroll to confine you few outstanding Tianjiao, because only you have the power to defy heaven!"
"But unfortunately, in the end..."
Lin Bai said solemnly, "So what you’re saying is, this forging will bring a catastrophic disaster to the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures in the future, that’s why you didn’t want me to find him to forge!"
"It’s also for this reason that the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures expelled the five of you from the sect at the Life Anniversary, severing ties, he’s afraid of dragging you down!"
Hu Qi nodded bitterly.
Luo Jia said despondently, "It’s too late to say anything now!"
Lin Bai did not care about Luo Jia and the others, but Lin Bai cared about Hu Qi.
The relationship between Hu Qi and Lin Bai was extremely good, during the Ice Lake Sea trip, Hu Qi was also there.
In the battle against the Great Witch Dynasty, Hu Qi risked his life to help Lin Bai.
Seeing Hu Qi’s pale and pained expression now, Lin Bai felt some guilt.
Lin Bai immediately said, "Hu Qi, I’ll go find Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures, and I won’t let him forge the weapon for me!"
Saying this, Lin Bai immediately turned and walked towards Fire Lotus Mountain again, at a rapid pace.
But just as Lin Bai took two steps, the loud voice of the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures rang down from the Main Peak of Fire Lotus Mountain, "Friend Lin Bai, my words are ironclad, since I’ve agreed to forge for you, I will not go back on my word!"
Lin Bai said aloud, "Senior, Hu Qi is my close friend, family I hold dear, I don’t wish to see Hu Qi in pain and disheartened, I ask you to return the Divine Iron, I will not proceed with the forging."
Lin Bai spoke resolutely, looking up at the Main Peak of Fire Lotus Mountain.
Hu Qi felt quite moved hearing Lin Bai’s words.
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures’ voice came faintly, "A Sword Cultivator has a Sword Cultivator’s destiny! An Artifact Refiner has an Artifact Refiner’s destiny too!"
"Friend Lin Bai, this sword may well be the best I have forged in my life!"
"This will be for me and for the Pangu Sect, the sword that allows us to see daylight again!"
"For an Artifact Refiner, to forge a Divine Soldier Weapon passed down through the ages, and for that Divine Soldier Weapon to blaze with infinite glory in the hands of one who defies heaven, what a glorious thing that would be!"
"For an Artifact Refiner, this might be a lifetime’s fortune!"
Upon hearing the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures’ words, his five disciples fell silent.
Lin Bai opened his mouth and said, "Senior..."
But before Lin Bai could finish speaking, the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures’ voice rang again, "Friend Lin Bai, go back and wait peacefully, when the sword is forged, I will certainly send it to you!"
"Luo Jia, Chen Zhixiao, Qin Xin, Nong Shuang, Hu Qi, you five come up, I have something to say to you!"
