True Monarch of Myriad Treasures was renowned not only throughout the Southern Continent; even across the Barren Ancient Continent, he enjoyed considerable fame.
He was hailed as the foremost artificer of his generation on the Barren Ancient Continent. Half of the King Grade Spirit Artifacts currently found throughout the Southern Continent had come from his hands.
Moreover, no small number of supreme forces visited him every year.
Even the Eastern Continent Academy, the Sword God Family, the Central Sacred Nation, the Poison God Family, and even the Buddhist monks of the Western Continent's Buddha Land, who were said to avoid worldly affairs, had once sought his help in refining Divine Weapons.
Even now, throughout the Southern Continent, the number of people who wanted to ask him to refine artifacts was beyond counting.
Thus, True Monarch of Myriad Treasures came up with a plan.
He publicly announced that anyone seeking to have him refine a treasure had to meet two requirements.
The first requirement was that they had to be either an unparalleled genius of the Barren Ancient Continent—or else, why would he refine Divine Weapons for a bunch of useless martial artists?
The second requirement was that they had to be either a supreme force of the Barren Ancient Continent—or else, the Divine Weapons he refined would be left to gather dust.
Moreover, True Monarch of Myriad Treasures refined only one treasure each year.
And so, the matter of True Monarch of Myriad Treasures's birthday celebration came into being.
At the birthday celebration, the various forces would select their most talented members to participate in martial contests. The victor would win the chance to ask True Monarch of Myriad Treasures to refine an unparalleled Divine Weapon.
True Monarch of Myriad Treasures agreed to this arrangement, and the tradition continued throughout
