"That's right, I am the Artifact Spirit of the God Forging Pavilion!"
The Artifact Spirit of the God Forging Pavilion spoke.
Lu Ren started, his whole body tensing with wariness. "Then you know everything about the sword soul power I just used?"
Seeing his reaction, the Artifact Spirit of the God Forging Pavilion laughed. "Heh, young man, there's no need to be nervous. I'm only an Artifact Spirit. I won't take part in any conflict under heaven, nor will I reveal anyone's secrets!"
"I was worrying too much, senior!"
Lu Ren breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands again.
"Ordinarily, I wouldn't meddle in your affairs. But I can't bear to watch a peerless genius fall like this. You can stir the Mortal Nature within you, which means you may be able to enter the Heavenly God Realm!"
A trace of excitement appeared on the Artifact Spirit's enormous, fearsome face.
"Stir the Mortal Nature within me? Senior, what do you mean?"
Lu Ren asked.
"Before your sword soul reached the silver grade, didn't you notice that it could sometimes withstand the divine dragon's attacks?"
The Artifact Spirit said calmly, "Perhaps you didn't even realize it yourself. But since you can do that, you need only find one thing to enter the Heavenly God Realm. In the future, you may even wield the Mortal Nature within you and truly unite god and mortal as one!"
"Please enlighten me, senior!"
Lu Ren cupped his hands once more.
With the Artifact Spirit's explanation, he understood.
"Find a Primordial Stone and draw the Mortal Nature within you into it. Only then can you enter the Heavenly God Realm!"
The Artifact Spirit spoke evenly.
"A Primordial Stone?"
Lu Ren was baffled. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
