The Art of Human Refinement

"Old Sword! Old Sword!"

"Old Jian, wait a minute, we didn't say we weren't going. ♨😂 😺ൠ"

A minotaur-like venerable reached out to stop the Sword Venerable, while another middle-aged man who looked like a human grabbed the Sword Venerable's right hand, preventing him from leaving.

"Noah's injuries haven't fully healed yet. If we act rashly now, and something dangerous happens, we might not be able to get him to safety in time. Let's wait a bit longer," the middle-aged man advised gently. "Besides, we don't even know where that Space Whirlpool leads. If we act rashly, we might end up getting caught ourselves."

Sword Venerable abruptly flung his hand away, looking at the minotaur and the middle-aged man, as well as the silent Noah Country Lord behind him, and said, suppressing his anger, "Gaia, I've said it before, I can handle this myself. My disciple's affairs are my responsibility; you don't need to worry about them."

The middle-aged man, Venerable Gaia, raised his hand with a wry smile. Facing the Sword Venerable, who was already somewhat enraged, he was hesitant to provoke him and could only whisper, "Noah has already told us everything. I know you harbor some resentment towards him, but we haven't done anything to you."

"Besides, Niumeng and I have already been to the site and seen it for ourselves. Those Space Whirlpool Wormhole are not something that ordinary Universe Venerable can set up. Only Universe Overlord or even Universe Master could set them up. If the opponent of the Space Whirlpool is a powerhouse of that level, wouldn't it be suicide if we sent you there alone?" Venerable Gaia said helplessly.

"Are you expect me to stand by and watch my disciple disappear without a trace? I can't do that!" Sword Venerable sneered. "So many years after Tiandou's death, I've finally found a disciple capable of inheriting his mantle. Do you expect me to stand idly by like I did when Tiandou died?"

Venerable Gaia quickly explained, "Don't be impatient! I'm asking you to wait patiently not entirely because Noah's injuries haven't fully healed. More importantly, I've already informed my teacher— the Dragonwalker Lord —who is on his way back from the Universe Ocean. With his backing, we can even venture into the heart of the Monster Clan realm. So please be patient a little longer."

Sword Venerable frowned and retorted, "How could a transcendent being like Dragonwalker Lord personally intervene for such a trivial matter as my disciple? Even if we were to perish on the spot, Dragonwalker Lord wouldn't even bat an eye."

Venerable Gaia shrugged. "I don't know either. I was just trying to contact my teacher, and when I explained the situation, he agreed without hesitation. He should be able to arrive in about ten days to two weeks." Before Venerable Gaia could finish speaking...

"Boom~~~"

Ripples spread through the surrounding space, and a powerful pressure suddenly descended, as if a divine dragon had descended and crushed countless ants. The pressure, which left no one with any power to resist, instantly spread throughout the Noah Secret Realm. The Sword Venerable, who was about to say something, was so intimidated by this aura that he could not utter a word.

A blurry, enormous figure gradually emerged, its size spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, looking down at the four Venerable Ones present.

"Teacher!" Venerable Gaia exclaimed, looking up in delight. 🐟🐯 ♠🐨

"Dragonwalker Lord!"

"We have come to pay our Dragonwalker Lord!" The Sword Venerable, the Minotaur Venerable, and the Venerable Noah hurriedly bowed in greeting.

A towering figure stood there, its massive body as imposing as a mountain, with a gigantic dragon tail extending from its spine. The figure was indistinct, and the surrounding space was gripped by an invisible aura, trembling slightly and rippling outwards for millions of kilometers. It was only because the figure did not directly descend upon the Noah Secret Realm in its true form that most of the Noah Secret Realm would have trembled and shattered under such pressure.

Even so, the cosmos outside the Noah Secret Realm trembled under this intense pressure, and all the stars in the entire star field prostrated themselves beneath its might, their light dimming.

In the vast universe, I reign supreme!

He is the master of this starry sky!

This is the Dragonwalker Lord!

"Gaia, lead the way, let's go!"

With the majestic voice of the Dragonwalker Lord Long Xing their ears, Sword Venerable and the others also noticed that the invisible pressure that had surrounded them had quietly dissipated.

Venerable Gaia dared not be negligent, and quickly bowed, replying, "Yes, teacher."

Venerable Gaia gave the three Sword Venerable a wink, signaling them to follow, and then Teleportation teleported to the location of the Space Whirlpool black hole.

When the three Sword Venerable arrived, they saw that Venerable Gaia's divine power was surging around him, and the burning divine power aura permeated the surrounding space. With a muffled groan, he slammed his fist heavily into the void, and an invisible Space Whirlpool tunnel was directly opened.

The Dragonwalker Lord looked down at the Flowing Light Space Whirlpool and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation. "This kind of tunnel is probably not something an ordinary Universe Venerable could easily set up. I guess there's a Universe Master on the other side. But why didn't I sense any familiar divine power aura from Universe Master above?" The Dragonwalker Lord was somewhat puzzled.

"Gaia, you all wait here for my message. Do not act rashly." After saying this, the Dragonwalker Lord took a step and entered the Space Whirlpool tunnel.

In the void above the Craftsman God Star.

The Master of the Craftsman God, now shrunk to a normal human size, grabbed Luo Zhe's hand. A wisp of divine power swept across Luo Zhe's entire body, and an expression of unbelievable surprise appeared on his face.

"The Human Refining Method... I never imagined you would actually use the legendary Human Refining Method! And you've even overcome the most difficult initial stage," the Master of the Craftsman God exclaimed. "I've been painstakingly researching it, but I've never been able to grasp its essence. Even my teacher back then said that the Human Refining Method is a great taboo, violating the laws of the universe. I never expected—"

"I underestimated you! Your talent in refining techniques is truly astounding."

"Become my apprentice! I will dedicate all my knowledge to training you into the most outstanding Artifact Refining Master. I will also impart to you the special techniques for refining Top-tier Supreme Treasure."

The Master of the Craftsman God's gaze was intense, like a stamp enthusiast staring at a rare stamp, "The Whole Country Is Red." His impatient gaze seemed to want to devour him whole, sending a chill down Luo Zhe's spine.

He swallowed hard and cautiously probed, "But I haven't replicated that Pyramid yet, and I don't know any Human Refining Method..."

Seeing the Master of the Craftsman God's expression freeze instantly, and sensing the awkward atmosphere, Luo Zhe quickly added, "Although I can't do it now, I can learn!"

The Master of the Craftsman God remained silent, his unwavering gaze making Luo Zhe uneasy. What was going on? He needed to give a straight answer...

With a deep sigh, the Master of the Craftsman God looked up at the sky and lamented, "I never imagined that my years of arduous pursuit would be no match for the unintentional act of a naive young man. All these years have been wasted."

"Fine!"

"Those who are skilled can be my teachers. If you feel my skills are not good enough and you are unwilling to become my student, I will not force you."

Luo Zhe: "???"

"No! I'm willing, I really am!" Luo Zhe said anxiously, "It's a deal, from now on you'll be my teacher!"

The Master of the Craftsman God gave Luo Zhe a deep look, released his hand from Luo Zhe's grasp, and was about to say something.

Suddenly, an extremely strong golden light burst forth from the space where the Macaque King was located, instantly piercing through the Space Barrier, dazzling and brilliant!
