Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique?
Before we knew it, a day and a night had passed.
At this moment, inside that weapon-refining hall.
Chen Changqing was still wielding the hammer.
That piece of ordinary iron, under its constant hammering, had been forged into a long sword with an ancient and simple design.
The longsword has a very simple design, and at first glance, it even gives a crude impression.
The entire blade is about three feet long and four inches wide, with no curves, and a straight back and straight edge.
The blade was dark gray, without any luster, and there was no trace of Spiritual Power fluctuation.
It looked like an unsharpened, ordinary iron knife blank that had just been taken out of the blacksmith's shop.
For a moment, Chen Changqing suddenly stopped.
Then, he placed the still-warm broadsword into the water trough next to him.
"Laugh!"
In an instant, a plume of white steam rose from the water tank.
Then, Chen Changqing took the long knife out of the sink and placed it on the table.
The people inside the palace saw this and remained silent.
After a brief silence, Xue Kai of the Divine Fire Sect burst into laughter:
"Ha ha!"
"Boy, is this what you forged after a whole day and night?"
"It looks like an unsharpened blade, doesn't it?"
"And... it's the most ordinary kind."
"Items from the mortal blacksmith's shop!"
As he laughed, Xue Kai's expression turned cold, and he said mockingly:
"Aren't you going to show me what real weapon forging is all about?"
That's it?
Before Chen Changqing could reply, the other Cultivators shook their heads and began to discuss among themselves:
"Ordinary iron is still ordinary iron!"
"I initially thought he could forge something, but I was overthinking it."
"This blade blank probably doesn't even qualify as the lowest-grade Law Artifact."
"What kind of good Law Artifact could he possibly forge in such a short time?"
"In my opinion, this kid is just... trying to attract attention!"
"..."
The crowd continued to mock him.
Xuanyuan Xiaoyu and Chen Ye were both embarrassed upon seeing this.
During the forging process, Chen Changqing had given them a strange feeling.
Thinking about it, Chen Changqing didn't seem to be refining weapons.
But they couldn't say exactly what they were forging.
Seeing that Chen Changqing had only managed to forge a crude blade after a day and a night, the two men were both amused and exasperated.
"Perhaps, this weapon forging is indeed too difficult for Brother Changqing."
Chen Ye sighed inwardly, feeling a little regretful.
After all, the magical Law Artifacts he and Xuanyuan Xiaoyu crafted weren't of very high grade, so they probably wouldn't be able to pass this Second Trial.
Under these circumstances, the two naturally hoped that a miracle could happen to Chen Changqing.
But now it seems they were being a bit delusional.
Just as everyone was mocking Chen Changqing, the Humanoid Puppet's eyes were filled with strange light.
His gaze was fixed intently on the blade blank that Chen Changqing had forged.
No one present could tell.
But the Humanoid Puppet noticed.
Inside that blade blank, the structure had reached an extreme state of perfection!
Countless exquisitely detailed natural Dao Marks form seamlessly within the blade.
The reason it didn't emit spiritual pressure was because it was in a state of perfect harmony, just waiting for the moment of awakening.
"Returning to simplicity... the greatest truths are the simplest..."
"This... this is one of the ultimate forms of the embryonic vessel, the Return to Mundane!"
As it watched, the Humanoid Puppet gasped inwardly.
He never imagined that one day he would see someone forging a vessel Return to Mundane.
At this moment, Chen Changqing completely ignored the ridicule from the people around him.
"Call!"
The next moment, he took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, as if to rest.
Upon seeing this, Xue Kai and the others naturally scoffed.
What trick is this kid up to now?
"Are you resting with your eyes closed?"
"There are so many transition scenes!"
"Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to forge a piece of ordinary iron?"
"..."
Just as everyone was joking around, Chen Changqing suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze suddenly sharpening.
When he looked again, his right hand was loosely clenched, and the large iron hammer he had used before flew directly into his hand.
"Boom!"
The moment the hammer was in hand, profound Daoist Dao Resonance rapidly coiled around it.
"Drink!"
Immediately following, Chen Changqing let out a low shout, and with a swing of his arm, he created the sound of wind and thunder before bringing down the first hammer.
"Clang!"
The hammer fell, and a crisp, clear sound rang out.
The sound was like the clinking of gold and jade.
Where the hammer fell, a dazzling light appeared on the crude broadsword.
Before anyone could react, Chen Changqing swung his hammer again, followed by a second blow.
"Clang!"
Then came the third hammer blow, the fourth hammer blow...
"Clang clang..."
The iron hammer in Chen Changqing's hands moved like the wind, one strike after another without the slightest hesitation; everything was so smooth and fluid.
Moreover, with each hammer blow, the force of the subsequent blow far exceeds that of the previous one, as if the hammer force is constantly being amplified.
As Chen Changqing's iron hammer fell like a storm, each strike precisely hit a different spot on the blade.
Before long, the originally dark gray blade blank gradually became translucent and dazzling.
Upon seeing this, the Humanoid Puppet was greatly alarmed and exclaimed inwardly:
"This?"
"What he's using... is the master's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique?"
"I never expected this kid could actually comprehend something from the Artifact Refining Chapter!"
"Master, this time you truly have a worthy successor!"
The Humanoid Puppet was incredibly excited.
The others were focused on the large sword Chen Changqing had forged, while he was more interested in the hammer technique Chen Changqing was using.
"Clang clang..."
Before long, Chen Changqing had swung his hammer ten times.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the crude blade blank was hammered into a gleaming longsword.
What's even more incredible is that the long sword actually exudes the aura of a Law Artifact, and its grade has actually been upgraded from ordinary iron to the level of Lower-grade Law Artifact!
Everyone present was stunned by what they saw.
Xue Kai, in particular, stared wide-eyed.
How is that possible?
"Law Artifact?"
"This..."
"No!!"
"Isn't that just a piece of ordinary iron? How can it be transformed into a magical Law Artifact?"
Am I seeing things?
"..."
Everyone stared in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief.
This scene was truly unbelievable.
They had personally witnessed Chen Changqing forging that piece of ordinary iron, but now, the long sword forged from that ordinary iron had actually become Law Artifact. This completely overturned their understanding!
Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu and Chen Ye were so shocked that they couldn't speak, their minds buzzing and completely blank.
