Chapter 1335 – A Strange Phenomenon Startles the World
The Thousand Wonders Furnace rumbled and boomed. Its firelight rose in dense currents.
The Nine Purities Dao Flame was even more resplendent.
It was indistinct, but only one colorful bundle of light remained within the furnace. It was in the shape of a bowl and as bright as the rosy light of dawn.
Countless profound and inscrutable Dao Markings floated around it, like butterflies dancing through the air. The dense, boundless sound of the Dao rang out, emanating from the light in a distinctive rhythm.
It was extraordinarily mystical, as if seizing fortune from the heavens, and it was full of an indescribable spirituality. It almost seemed as if the light could gain sentience and come to life at a moment’s notice.
Su Yi sat cross-legged before the furnace, completely calm and focused. His hands rapidly formed seals that directed the Nine Purities Dao Flame and the Thousand Wonders Furnace, with which he repeatedly tempered the almost-finished sword embryo!
“Swordsmithing in Twelve Chapters says that divine treasures are one with nature, and the Dao responds to their presence. All I’ve done is forge a sword embryo, yet I’ve already triggered a strange phenomenon. If I’m not mistaken, the people of Violet River City are already paying attention.”
Su Yi’s brow furrowed. With his powerful divine sense, he could tell that as he forged the sword embryo, he triggered an unpredictable, strange phenomenon of heaven and earth.
Deep blue thunderclouds gathered beneath the dome of heaven. Electric light illuminated the world, and thunder reverberated on all sides!
But this was only the beginning. As time passed, the strange phenomenon unfolding beneath the firmament changed!
Su Yi hadn’t expected this at all. When the Temple Master first refined the Sword of the Human Realm, no such unbelievable phenomenon had taken place.
But there was no time for Su Yi to mull things over. He’d reached the most critical juncture of the entire process. One misstep, and all of his work would go to waste.
“Go!” With a swoosh of his sleeves, Su Yi tossed the last group of divine materials into the Thousand Wonders Furnace.
Then, he drew his fingertip across his skin, and a drop of crimson heart’s blood appeared. Using blood as ink and his finger as a brush, he rapidly outlined something in the air.
A little while later, a mysterious Edict floated in the air. It was like the first parting of primordial chaos, with the indescribable formlessness of the Grand Dao.
The Heart Spiritualization Edict!
This was one of three great Edicts of bestowing spirituality recorded in Swordsmithing in Twelve Chapters.
The core secrets of this Edict lay in the user’s heart’s blood, which contained his condensed spirit, qi, and essence. The naturally complete and perfect Edict drawn in heart’s blood became the sword embryo’s core and source. In this way, the completed sword would achieve perfect compatibility with its user’s heart and cultivation base.
After finishing the Edict, Su Yi couldn’t help but look a bit exhausted.
It was just an Edict, but it had cost him more than half of his essence, qi, and spirit. That was far too terrifying!
Su Yi took a deep breath and tapped the sky. His voice boomed like spring thunder.
“The heavens imbue its spirit, and I imbue its mind. Together, they transform and create its heart!”
The sound of the Dao rumbled and boomed as the Heart Spiritualization Edict blurred into a beam of Dao Light and shot into the Thousand Wonders Furnace.
The embryo reminiscent of primordial chaos suddenly expanded, producing a rhythmic, overflowing sound, like the beating of a heart.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Every beat was like a deity pounding a heavenly drum. The Thousand Wonders Furnace shook violently, and the Nine Purities Dao Flame swayed and surged.
The entire hall was instantly enveloped in terrifying sword force.
The scattered corpses and furniture broke into pieces. Even the formation placed on the walls suffered a terrifying impact; it seemed it couldn’t take the rhythmic power emanating from the sword embryo.
But what really surprised Su Yi was that even the Thousand Wonders Furnace was buzzing and shaking.
It looked like it wouldn’t hold out much longer!
Damn…. Su Yi’s heart clenched.
It wasn’t that something had gone wrong, but rather, that he’d done too good a job. The sword embryo hadn’t even become a proper sword yet, but its power was already having such an earth-shaking impact on its surroundings. Even the Thousand Wonders Furnace, a divine chaos treasure, almost couldn’t suppress it any longer!
“I got complacent. I guess this is what they mean when they say ‘too much is just as bad as too little.’” A bitter smile tugged at Su Yi’s lips. He’d wanted to forge an ideal weapon for himself for this lifetime. Who’d have thought that the sword embryo alone would be this domineering?
If things went on like this, he’d destroy the Thousand Wonders Furnace and the Nine Purities Dao Flame!
But if he gave up, all his work would go to waste. Indeed, when you rode a tiger, it was difficult to get back off.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The rhythmic beating of the sword embryo grew increasingly terrifying, making the furnace shake all the harder. It seemed it would soon escape his control.
Su Yi dared not give the matter any further thought. He clenched his teeth and devoted his full attention to the forging process.
……
Meanwhile, in the outside world.
Deep blue thunderclouds spread beneath the dome of heaven. Booming thunder reverberated in all directions.
What people found really unbelievable was the strange and unbelievable phenomena reflected within the deep blue thunderclouds.
Auspicious light fell like rain. Flowers formed out of thin air and fell down to earth. Faint suns, moons, and stars flickered…
From time to time, the eternal chanting of the ancients performing sacrifices rang out, and heart-stirring sutras echoed through the air, like the music of the heavens.
These wondrous and mystical scenes shook all of Violet River City.
“Is an unknown supreme treasure about to enter the world?” someone cried out in surprise.
Several older-generation experts with deep and profound cultivation bases were stirred into action. All of them gazed upon the distant Divine Forge.
It was the source of this strange phenomenon!
“The Divine Forge… Don’t tell me that mysterious distinguished guest asked His Excellency Wang Pu to forge an unparalleled weapon?” someone murmured.
A year ago, an astonishing strange phenomenon arose within the Divine Forge, drawing widespread attention.
Shortly after, a group of mysterious experts entered the Divine Forge. The forge’s doors had been closed ever since.
Now, a year later, yet another startling and strange phenomenon was drawing widespread attention. It was only natural that everyone would see the connection.
“Thunderclouds cover eighty thousand feet, and strange phenomena are occurring in rapid succession. Just what kind of divine weapon have they made to trigger such a reaction?”
“I heard that a month ago, a young man forced his way into the Divine Forge. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.”
The city was in uproar. All kinds of discussions broke out.
Meanwhile, a group of cultivators had arrived near the Divine Forge several days prior. Their auras were withdrawn, and they kept a low profile. They’d been waiting all this time.
Their ranks included both men and women. All of them were lavishly dressed, and even with their auras suppressed, their every gesture contained a sort of formless majesty.
Especially their leader, a man in purple. He stood out the most of all.
His hair was as white as snow and hung loose all the way down to his waist. His eyes sparkled like stars, and he had handsome, youthful features. However, when his eyes moved, they were full of the vicissitudes of countless years.
“Judging by this phenomenon, the treasure about to enter the world is surely an extraordinary Transcendent weapon!” said the man in purple, a strange look on his face.
“The revenant hiding within that strange rock is forging something. I’m sure of it!” another revenant, a white-haired old man, said murderously.
Not long ago, they heard what had happened and forced their way into the Divine Forge. After a brief investigation, they learned that all of the experts they’d sent here a year ago were most likely dead. If not for the man in purple stopping them, they would have long since fought their way into the secret cellar!
They naturally assumed the primary culprit was Wang Yunhe, the one who’d awakened within the Heavenly Mysteries Replenishment Stone.
“Whoever the killer is, they dared to slay members of our Zhou Family. They won’t escape disaster this time!” the purple-robed man said with cold, casual cruelty.
His name was Zhou Tianli, and he was a peak Cosmic Enlightenment Realm older-generation expert of the Zhou Family.
Their clan had long since arranged the supplies he’d need to prove his Dao and step onto the Path of Transcendence. Unless something unexpected happened, when the complete Path of Transcendence re-entered the world, he’d break through with ease!
“That’s right. Even if the killer is a revenant who survived the End of the Dharma, he must pay for this!” the white-haired elder said gravely.
The Zhou Family had always called themselves descendants of demon gods, and their infamy was enough to make every star realm tremble.
Yet now, someone had dared brutally murder their clansmen. How could they possibly just let this grudge go?
This time, they hadn’t just dispatched a group of top experts. They even had a full six Nascent Divinity Realm revenants following them in secret!
All six hailed from the ancient orthodoxy, the Southern Flame Pure Lands!
In ancient times, the Southern Flame Pure Lands was a peak orthodoxy of the yao path, and it had given rise to numerous astonishing yao immortals. Its foundations were terrifying.
Ten years prior, the ancient Zhou Family made contact with an expert of the Southern Flame Pure Lands, and the two factions established an alliance!
By now, all six of the Ancient Guardian Clans had an ancient orthodoxy backing them.
For instance, the Blue Luan Spirit Race was backed by Allspirit Immortal Mountain, and the ancient Zhong Family was leaning on the Illusory Sword Immortal Tower.
Similar examples could be found in every star realm. This situation was already commonplace.
“The treasure that provoked this strange phenomenon is about to enter this world. We can consider our next steps.”
A cold voice suddenly rang out.
A fair-skinned middle-aged man with a scholarly head-covering appeared silently, seemingly out of nowhere. His eyes shone with eerie blue-green light, and faint, unearthly light flowed around him.
Zhu Tong.
He was a Nascent Divinity Realm revenant of the ancient orthodoxy the Southern Flame Pure Lands. In life, he’d been a Dao Integration expert, and his foundations were terrifyingly strong.
He was the leader of the six revenants accompanying the Zhou Family on this expedition.
“What approach do you think we should take, Senior?” asked the white-haired, purple-robed Zhou Tianli.
“No need to go to all that trouble. Let’s just destroy the formation,” Zhu Tong said plainly. “With the six of us working together, whoever’s in there won’t escape, not even if they sprout wings.”
Here, he gazed up at the unbelievable phenomenon unfolding beneath the dome of heaven. “Remember: the supreme treasure about to enter the world is mine!”
Zhou Tianli’s brow furrowed imperceptibly, and his heart ached, but he nodded nonetheless. “But of course.”
As he spoke, he hesitated no longer, leading a group of Zhou Family experts into the air. They no longer suppressed their auras. Instead, their imposing presences swept out like a hurricane, instantly drawing attention from countless eyes.
“Who are they?”
“They’re experts of the ancient Zhou Family!”
“My heavens! Are they planning to steal that treasure?”
…Startled cries rang out. Countless onlookers paled.
The Zhou Family, one of the Ancient Guardian Clans of the Dao, a true powerhouse. A single stomp of their foot, and they could shake the stars. They were one of the strongest cultivation factions of the present day!
Rumors of the Zhou Family were full of bloodshed and massacres. People paled at the mere mention of their name.
But no one would have guessed that the treasure that produced the strange phenomenon in the Divine Forge would draw them here!
