Chapter 1103: A Fine Sword (First Update!)
"So then, Mother Earth, are you going to do this or not?" the Heavenly Duke asked.
Mother Earth gritted her teeth: "If I do this, there will be no place for me in the Mystic Capital either. Ancestral God King will surely hunt me down, leaving me with no way to ascend to heaven and no door to enter the earth! Your purpose in saving me is only to use me to eliminate the Heavenly Court's forces in the Mystic Capital!"
The Heavenly Duke looked at her and said, "After you do it, I will lend you the Western Emperor's fertile soil."
Mother Earth Primordial Sovereign's killing intent surged, and she said fiercely, "I'll do it!"
Qin Mu and Ling Yuxiu parted ways, and he returned to the Supervisor Factory. At the Supervisor Factory, Village Chief, the Physician, Granny Si, the Cripple, Lord Ma, and the Deaf Man had all already arrived. The Butcher had contacted them, and they had come through the teleportation formation gates built in various cities.
Now the Yan Kang Empire was wealthy and powerful, continuously transporting all kinds of materials from the various heavens, forging divine weapons in Yan Kang, refining spirit pills, and having more than enough to support the teleportation gates of every city.
The elders of the Crippled Elder Village gathered together, making things lively once again. The Mute Man had already categorized and prepared all the materials, proportioning the divine weapon material ratios according to each person's cultivation technique and divine ability.
The divine weapons that Yan Kang forged for the Heavenly Court were all standard-issue divine weapons, manufactured by the Supervisor Factories, flowing like water, with each Supervisor Factory responsible for one or two steps of the process.
And as Yan Kang's most powerful Artisan and Formation Master, the Mute Man and the Blind Man personally forging was naturally no small matter.
What the Village Chief wanted was a sword with a scabbard, not a sword orb. The Butcher wanted two divine sabers. Granny Si's divine weapon was a Dao Wheel capable of carrying her own Great Dao divine abilities. Lord Ma only wanted a single Zen staff. The Cripple wanted a pair of gloves and a pair of boots.
The Deaf Man wanted a brush and an inkstone. The Physician wanted an alchemy furnace. The Blind Man wanted to temper his Dragon Tuo Divine Spear. As for the Mute Man himself, he was forging a new furnace and hammer.
Qin Mu observed from the side. When forging the Village Chief's sword, the Village Chief sat to one side, unleashing his sword Dao divine abilities. Sword Dao runes fluttered through the air, and the Blind Man used formations to solidify the sword Dao divine abilities, transforming them into microscopic runes, which were struck by the Mute Man's heavy hammer and hammered into the sword blank!
Qin Mu looked closely. Within the divine gold from the Ancestral Court, each microscopic divine gold particle was branded with the tiniest sword Dao runes—a breathtaking sight.
This kind of forging Dao involved microscopic mathematics, microscopic carving, microscopic formations, microscopic runes, and microscopic casting, which could not be accomplished by any Artisan or Formation Master who had not cultivated their Dao to the extreme!
Even for an existence like the Village Chief, refining such a divine weapon required consuming a massive amount of primal energy, energy, and divine consciousness. All of one's essence, energy, and spirit had to be fused into one's divine weapon.
Only when the divine weapon fused with one's spirit could the weapon's power be unleashed to its maximum!
During the forging process, the Village Chief's primal energy was exhausted, his energy depleted, and his divine consciousness drained. He had to rest several times before he could continue.
The Blind Man said, "If we keep stopping and starting like this, I'm afraid the divine sword cannot be completed in one go, which will affect the power of this divine sword."
Qin Mu immediately had Dragon Qilin bring the Gourd Heaven Bottle, took out some Primordial Chaos Origin Liquid and distributed it to everyone, allowing the Village Chief to recover quickly.
The Mute Man glanced at the Primordial Chaos Origin Liquid and said decisively, "Mu'er, bring more water, use it for quenching!"
Qin Mu was startled, his head aching, but he still gritted his teeth and had Dragon Qilin take out more Primordial Chaos Origin Liquid to give to the Mute Man, letting him use it to quench the divine sword.
The Village Chief's sword was the most exquisite art, allowing not the slightest flaw. The power of the forged divine sword might even far exceed the Village Chief's own strength!
Qin Mu observed for a long time and gained a great deal.
Microscopic mathematics was something he had pioneered, but microscopic formations, microscopic carving, microscopic branding, microscopic casting, and microscopic runes were things that Yan Kang had pioneered and developed.
Back then, the leaders of the Yan Kang Reform all saw the potential of microscopic mathematics and rushed to research it. By today, it had finally given rise to many achievements!
The Village Chief's divine sword took over ten days to forge, consuming a massive amount of Primordial Chaos Origin Liquid, and finally, the divine sword was completed!
When the divine sword was completed, in the Supervisor Factories on both banks of the Tu River, thousands of divine weapons resonated simultaneously, trembling without end!
When the Village Chief grabbed the sword, the resonance of the ten thousand weapons became even more intense.
He steadied his mind and was about to draw the divine sword from its scabbard when the Blind Man hurriedly stopped him, saying, "King of Ten Thousand Weapons, its power is even stronger than yours. When it is first drawn from its scabbard, the divine sword will inevitably establish its authority! Go outside to draw the sword, farther away from here. The divine weapons in the Supervisor Factories on both banks cannot withstand the sword's might."
The Village Chief walked out of the Supervisor Factory, and everyone poured out after him, excited beyond measure.
The Village Chief drawing his sword was not only a test of whether their hard work during this period had been in vain, but also a test of the achievements of the ten years of the Yan Kang Reform!
The Village Chief was about to draw the sword when the Blind Man frowned and said, "Farther away."
The Village Chief soared into the air, moving far away from the Supervisor Factories on both banks, and said, "How about here?"
The Mute Man shouted in a loud voice, "Farther away!"
The Village Chief had no choice but to continue rising, and said loudly, "How about here?"
The Mute Man checked the vibrations of the divine weapons in the Supervisor Factory and shouted loudly, "Farther away!"
The Village Chief rose higher and higher, until his figure could no longer be seen with the naked eye, and his voice came from afar: "What about now?"
"Dragon Tuo, how is it?" the Blind Man asked the Dragon Tuo Divine Spear.
The black dragon divine spear at his waist slowly moved, saying, "The sword has not yet been drawn, but I can already feel the sword light piercing my body, the pressure is immense. If it is drawn, the divine sword will establish its authority, suppressing all sharp things around it. I will inevitably be severed by the sword light!"
The Blind Man shouted loudly, "Farther away!"
The Village Chief flew up into the sky, even higher than the World Tree in the Yan Kang capital. Looking down, he could only see the capital and the World Tree, and the dragon veins around him had become very thin.
He looked up. If he flew higher, he would soon reach the vicinity of the star charts. He quickly sent his divine consciousness downward to ask: "How is it now?"
After a moment, Qin Mu's divine consciousness came: "Village Chief, Grandpa Blind and the others mean for you to go higher."
The Village Chief was furious: "If I go any higher, I'll be out beyond the heavens! The sword might of this divine sword cannot possibly be that strong. From such a distance, it can't still sever the divine weapons in the Supervisor Factory!"
He resolutely drew his sword, and the divine sword left its scabbard.
The divine consciousness that Qin Mu had sent to his side instantly melted away like ice and snow. Before his divine consciousness was destroyed, he could only see an incomparably dazzling sword light!
At the same time, in the Supervisor Factories on both banks of the Tu River, one divine weapon after another trembled and rang out. Countless runes within the ten thousand weapons lit up in an instant. The divine weapons sensed the threat, their own might was triggered, and streams of dazzling divine light surged forth from each divine weapon and sharp implement!
The next moment, the people outside the Supervisor Factory heard crackling sounds of breaking coming continuously from the various workshops, and their expressions changed drastically as they hurriedly rushed into the Supervisor Factory.
Before they could even reach the Supervisor Factory, a sword orb that had just been forged not long ago suddenly shattered with a crash. That sword orb contained three hundred and sixty divine swords, and one by one, the divine swords snapped and were destroyed in an instant!
In the Supervisor Factory, the light emitted by the ten thousand divine weapons dimmed one after another, and then the sound of breaking came, causing the faces of those who rushed into the workshop to instantly turn extremely ugly.
"That old bastard Village Chief, he can't sit still like a child!"
The Butcher gritted his teeth in anger. Suddenly, his two divine sabers emitted crackling sounds, and he quickly said, "Be careful. That divine sword is establishing its authority, and it's spreading to our divine weapons!"
The Blind Man quickly surged his primal energy and activated the Dragon Tuo Divine Spear. The Dragon Tuo Divine Spear let out a mournful cry, and suddenly, multiple sword marks appeared on the dragon head and dragon body.
In the Supervisor Factory, more divine weapons shattered one after another, strange sounds unending, the light emitted by the divine weapons extinguished one by one, and sharp weapons and implements snapped and broke everywhere.
The Artisans in the factory were at a loss, standing there dumbfounded. The broken divine weapons were all sharp weapons like sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, while other divine weapons, such as shields, hammers, towers, and pagodas, showed no abnormality and were not severed by that divine sword.
After a moment, everything calmed down, and the Supervisor Factories on both banks of the Tu River were in a mess!
Suddenly, from outside came the Village Chief's voice, laughing: "Truly a fine sword! Holding this divine sword, I feel like I've grown several years younger."
In the Supervisor Factory, everyone's eyes gleamed with murderous intent.
