Immortal-grade Artifact Refiner! Haotian Hammer
Before the Humanoid Puppet could recover from its shock...
Chen Changqing had been teleported out of the Trial Tower and appeared in front of the Humanoid Puppet.
Upon seeing Chen Changqing, a flicker of surprise flashed across the Humanoid Puppet's eyes, before it returned to its indifferent state and said calmly:
Congratulations, you've passed the test!
"I have passed all three trials."
"Come with me!"
After saying this, the Humanoid Puppet didn't wait for Chen Changqing's reply and then casually waved its hand.
Then, Dao Sect suddenly appeared not far away.
The portal was covered with stars and hammer patterns, giving it an extremely psychedelic appearance.
"Um?"
Chen Changqing glanced at it briefly, but didn't think much of it, and followed closely behind the Humanoid Puppet.
Before long, he was led into the portal by the Humanoid Puppet.
Upon entering, Chen Changqing was immediately shocked by what he saw.
The space behind the door resembled an endless starry sky, with countless large stars twinkling within.
Not far in front of him stood a figure.
This man was an old man with a kind face.
Its appearance was somewhat similar to that of the old man who had previously guarded the tenth floor of the Trial Tower.
The difference is that the old man's figure is not hunched over.
In addition, an indescribable aura emanated from the old man, an aura that was primordial and unified.
In the old man's deep eyes, it was as if the birth and death of countless stars throughout the ages were contained.
"Is he the master of this Secret Realm?"
"Does the Heavenly Monarch exist? Or... Earth Immortal? Or perhaps Heaven Immortal?"
Just as Chen Changqing was stunned, the old man smiled faintly and said:
"Little one, you've come!"
The old man spoke in a gentle tone, yet his voice carried an air of supreme authority.
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing quickly snapped out of his thoughts and bowed deeply to the old man.
"Junior Chen Changqing pays respects to Senior!"
The old man smiled and said calmly:
No need for such formalities.
"Your ability to get this far is a testament to our connection, and it also proves your talent, perseverance, and destiny."
At this point, the old man paused slightly, then added:
"I am Ou Ouye Tiangong, and I am completely obsessed with the art of weapon crafting."
"He is considered one of the few Immortal-level weapon refiners on the Nine Provinces Continent."
Upon hearing the old man's words, Chen Changqing was immediately shocked.
"Immortal-grade Artifact Refiner?"
Shocked, he finally understood why the Second Trial of the three trials was specifically designed to have them refine weapons.
It turns out that the owner of this Secret Realm, Ou Ye Tiangong, was himself a weapon refiner.
Moreover, he is a Celestial-level weapon refiner.
"I wonder what level his cultivation is at?"
Even if they're at their worst, to be able to create this Secret Realm, they must at least be at the Heavenly Monarch level, right?
Chen Changqing muttered to himself.
Although Ou Ye Tiangong claimed to be a Celestial-level weapon refiner, this does not necessarily reflect his cultivation level.
Before Chen Changqing could even think of anything...
The phantom of Ou Ye Tiangong continued speaking:
"Throughout my life, I have found joy in forging Immortal Artifacts and pursued the ultimate in artifact crafting."
"In his later years, he happened to obtain a wisp of Primordial Chaos Mother Qi."
"Thus, a sudden inspiration struck him: he wished to combine all his life's learning with the Dao of Chaos, and attempt to forge a treasure... that surpassed even Immortal Artifacts!"
Upon hearing what Ou Ye Tiangong said, Chen Changqing's expression became even more shocked.
"What?"
"Beyond Immortal Artifacts?"
He couldn't help but utter a tremor, his pupils contracting.
It's hard to imagine just how terrifying a treasure surpassing even Immortal Artifact must be.
After all, Chen Changqing now knows that the highest grade of magical Law Artifacts is the Immortal Artifact.
Ignoring Chen Changqing's shock, Ou Ye Tiangong continued:
"If I could truly forge such a treasure, with this artifact, I might even be able to wield a portion of the power of creation and give rise to all things."
"Unfortunately..."
At this point, Ou Ye Tiangong, then sighed helplessly, his eyes filled with melancholy, and added:
"I ultimately underestimated the cost of defying the heavens."
"At the final stage of the forging process, this attracted an unprecedented and terrifying divine punishment."
"In the end, all efforts were in vain; he perished and his spirit vanished, leaving only this lingering thought and legacy, awaiting a destined one."
After speaking, Ou Ye Tiangong's gaze sharpened and fell directly on Chen Changqing.
After listening to what he said, Chen Changqing was filled with emotion.
Putting everything else aside, the mere fact that Ou Ye Tiangong wanted to forge a treasure surpassing even Immortal Artifacts was enough to make him feel incredulous.
"Whoosh!"
Shocked, Chen Changqing took a deep breath, which calmed his trembling mind somewhat.
"The past experiences of our predecessors are truly admirable!"
He glanced back at Ou Ye Tiangong and said this.
Ou Ye Tiangong smiled slightly and replied:
"Little guy."
"Since you have passed the three tests I set, you are qualified to receive my inheritance."
At this point, Ou Ye Tiangong immediately became serious and continued:
"My core inheritance is the complete True Intention of the thirty-six forms of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique."
Having said that, Ou Ye Tiangong casually waved his hand.
Then, a streak of light flew straight down in front of Chen Changqing, and hidden in the light was the Thirty-Six Forms of Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
Upon seeing this, Chen Changqing was startled.
Earlier, during the Second Trial, he had the system Idle Cultivation the "Artifact Refining Chapter," and after extracting the results of the AFK cultivation, he also comprehended the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
But earlier, he had a fierce battle with the Tribulation Transcendence Realm Gatekeeper on the tenth floor of the Trial Tower.
Chen Changqing discovered that the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique used by the Gatekeeper was far purer than the one he had comprehended.
"Thank you so much for your kind words, senior!"
Chen Changqing bowed deeply to Ou Ye Tiangong.
Seeing this, Ou Ye Tiangong didn't pay any attention, smiled faintly, and said:
"Inside this are my life's experience and insights in weapon crafting."
"I hope you will make good use of it, and not follow in my footsteps, nor betray the creative and protective spirit inherent in this hammer technique."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing nodded solemnly and then put away the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
After a slight pause, Ou Ye Tiangong changed the subject:
"Furthermore, this item is also for you!"
Having said that, Ou Ye Tiangong lightly tapped his hand, and then a flash of light appeared not far away.
Within that concealing light was a hammer.
This hammer is entirely black, with a simple and unadorned design.
On the hammer itself, illusory images of stars, mountains, and rivers flow endlessly.
"Hmm? Is it that big iron hammer?"
"Wrong!"
"This grade is actually Top-grade Immortal Artifact!"
Chen Changqing was shocked when he saw this.
At first glance, this sledgehammer looks very similar to the black sledgehammer used by the Gatekeeper of the tenth floor of the Trial Tower, but upon closer inspection, differences can be found.
Putting everything else aside, just considering the quality of the Law Artifacts, this hammer far surpasses the previous one.
After all, this is a genuine top-grade Top-grade Immortal Artifact!
