The Blacksmith Qingxu

Zhang Yang was stunned when he saw Qingxu.

So this is how you practice Divine Dao?

Admittedly, blacksmithing is also meant to help ordinary people, and one can indeed gain the Vow Power.

But...

No wonder you haven't returned to the mountain for three whole years.

If you could cultivate any Divine Power like this, then there would be no way you could possibly have any.

Qingxu was also stunned when he saw Zhang Yang.

"Why are you here?" Qingxu asked in surprise.

"The Prodigy Battlefield will begin in a few months," Zhang Yang said irritably. "You haven't forgotten, have you?"

"Oh, so fast..." Qingxu scratched his head. "I've been busy forging iron lately and haven't been paying attention to this."

Just then, a village woman walked over and called out from afar, "Zhang the blacksmith, is the sickle I ordered ready?"

"Alright!" Qingxu replied.

The village woman walked up happily, handed Qingxu a pig's leg, and said with a smile, "This is a wild boar that my husband hunted. He left you a leg... Master Zhang, the stuff you hunt is really useful. My husband killed that wild boar with a single spear thrust."

"Zhang the blacksmith?" Zhang Yang asked, glancing sideways at Qingxu.

"Hey, young man, where are you from? Are you here to forge iron too? Master Zhang from our village makes really good things, you can buy a few more," the village woman introduced enthusiastically.

Because Zhang Yang was also present, Qingxu hurriedly said to the village woman, "Quickly take your sickle."

"Okay! Thank you!" The village woman happily took the sickle and left.

Zhang Yang looked at Qingxu strangely and asked, "Are you really surnamed Zhang?"

Qingxu explained, "I just chose a name randomly, mainly to gain insight into the cultivation of the Divine Dao path."

"Really?" Zhang Yang asked, "Have you cultivated Divine Power yet?"

"I've succeeded in my cultivation!" Divine light appeared on Qingxu's hand. "I've helped many villages within a ten-mile radius over the past few years, and they all acknowledge me. According to the School Leader's realm classification, I should have reached the Divine Adept realm now."

Equivalent to the Golden Core Realm of Immortal Dao.

Looking at the divine light in Qingxu's hand, Zhang Yang said, "Now that you've cultivated Divine Power, have you considered using it to forge weapons?"

"Huh, how did you know I'd experimented with this?" Qingxu took out a few small items from his Spatial Ring and showed them to Zhang Yang. "After arriving in this village, I cultivated my Divine Power while researching the combination of Divine Power and weapon crafting, and that's how I came up with these little gadgets."

I've already tested it; these things, when combined with Divine Power, offer a certain degree of protection.

Its protective capabilities are roughly equivalent to the strength of a newly Core Formation Cultivator's Dao techniques. However, its weakness is also quite obvious: once the Divine Power attached to it is exhausted, it becomes completely useless.

Zhang Yang accepted a few items, which were things like jewelry he usually wore.

There were indeed fluctuations of Divine Power above, but the amount of Divine Power contained was not much.

Naturally, Qingxu himself doesn't have much Divine Power, so how much could he possibly use to forge Divine Power?

After inspecting it, Zhang Yang handed it back to Qingxu: "Not bad. Let's go, back to the sect!"

Qingxu paused for a moment, then said, "Then you'll have to wait a moment... I promised to make them a few things, but I haven't finished yet. Since I'm leaving anyway, I'll make them a little more!"

At this moment, he was no longer a blacksmith, but a master craftsman.

In his hands, those ordinary iron pieces quickly transformed into sickles, hoes, and various other tools.

Then, he casually tossed the refined iron into the blacksmith's shop, turned around, and followed Zhang Yang away.

"You already have the Divine Dao Heart!" Zhang Yang nodded approvingly after seeing this. "However, Master has long said that the focus of the Divine Dao path is not on the methods."

How you think is more important than how you do it.

Forget it, you're not good at dealing with people anyway, so you have a long way to go if you want to achieve anything in Divine Dao.

After you return from the Prodigy Battlefield, you can cultivate at your own pace!

Qingxu asked curiously, "What level have you reached in the path of Divine Dao?"

"Divine General, perhaps!" Zhang Yang said casually. "I haven't cultivated much, otherwise creating a Divine Lord wouldn't be a problem."

What he lacks is strength, not Vow Power!

Ling Yunzi, Hualingzi, Qingxu, and others lack the Vow Power to achieve their goals!

When it comes to cultivating Vow Power, Zhang Yang is a professional.

Qingxu was quite surprised. He had originally thought that he and Zhang Yang were both intelligent people and both at the Primordial Spirit Realm, so the difference between them shouldn't be that great.

Only after cultivating the Divine Dao did he realize the difference...

After leaving the mountain village, the two flew back to the Azure Cloud Sect.

Back at the sect, Zhang Yang instructed Qingxu, "Go and rest for two days, calm yourself down, and then focus your attention on the Prodigy Battlefield. I'll go and gather them first, and we'll make preparations for entering the Prodigy Battlefield after you arrive."

"Alright!" Qingxu really needed to change his mind.

Zhang Yang, on the other hand, went to the Martial Practice Arena and gathered all five hundred-plus disciples he had selected.

Looking at the more than five hundred disciples, Zhang Yang said in a deep voice, "In a few months, we will enter the Prodigy Battlefield."

I think you've already realized the dangers of the Prodigy Battlefield.

I don't need to say anything more.

Do you all still remember the goal I set ten years ago?

Now, the time for assessment has arrived.

"Everyone above the Primordial Spirit Realm, stand to one side!"

One by one, the disciples who had reached the Primordial Spirit Realm or above obediently stepped aside.

There are ninety-five of them!

In other words, besides the initial eighty-seven disciples, several others who joined later also reached the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Over the past twenty years, the Azure Cloud Sect has invested countless resources, including three-hundred-year-old spirit medicine obtained from the Prodigy Battlefield and three-thousand-year-old great medicines obtained from the Creation Spirit Hall, plus countless Spirit Stones. The resources these people have accumulated are unprecedented in the entire world.

The training received by those at the Dao Integration Realm Tribulation Realm, who personally lecture on the Dao Integration Realm, and even True Immortal Realm who spare no effort to expend their power to evolve the Laws of Heaven and Earth, is probably extremely rare.

Situ Mingyue, Kong Xiuping, Leng Qingfeng... and even Zhang Yang, one after another, these prodigies served as sparring partners, honing the combat power of this group. This was absolutely unique in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

It was precisely under these countless conditions that this result came about.

Ninety-five Primordial Spirit Realm, and the rest had all entered the Nascent Soul Realm, though some had just entered and others were at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm.

"Reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm means you're on the same starting line as geniuses from other realms and can enter the Prodigy Battlefield." Zhang Yang nodded in satisfaction. "As for the others, they must undergo the most rigorous tests to be qualified to enter."

Now, I will use my Divine Soul Power to attack your Divine Soul.

Standing means you pass, falling means you're eliminated!

His Primordial Spirit waved fiercely at those Nascent Soul Realm, and a terrifying Primordial Spirit Artistic Conception descended upon everyone.
