Are you very confused?
Zhang Junbao looked up at the Master of Craftsman God. To be honest, he really couldn't understand the Master of Craftsman God's behavior.
"What brings you to my Craftsman God Mountain?" The Master of Craftsman God did not explain to Zhang Junbao, but instead continued to ask.
"To be honest, I came here to inquire about the whereabouts of Senior Sitting Mountain Guest from you Master of Craftsman God."
Now that the Master of Craftsman God had spoken, Zhang Junbao no longer concealed anything, since it was impossible to hide anything from the Universe Master.
Why do you think I'd tell you?
The Master of Craftsman God looked down at Zhang Junbao from his high position, and his words seemed to come from the heavens, from an ancient deity.
"I am single-mindedly searching for the senior Sitting Mountain Guest, in order to strengthen the power of my Human Race. I implore the Master of Craftsman God, out of consideration for the relationship between the Human Race and the Chaos City Lord, to inform me of this."
" Human Race? Chaos?"
"Your Human Race is one of the top races in the universe, and the Chaos City Lord is also a top-tier existence among the Universe Master. My Craftsman God Mountain is just a group of blacksmiths, and we are indeed incomparable."
"But in the Original Universe, if I want to leave, even if the Giant Axe Founder of your Human Race came, he wouldn't be able to stop me!" the Master of Craftsman God said domineeringly.
Most people are unaware of the level of Treasure Refining ability of the Sitting Mountain Guest. Therefore, the Master of Craftsman God is recognized as the number one expert in treasure refining in the universe. Even the Universe Supreme Master would not dare to say that they can compare with the Master of Craftsman God in Treasure Refining.
The fact that he can forge such powerful treasures means that his understanding of the Law has reached an extremely profound level. It would be almost impossible for the Universe Supreme Master to kill him in the Original Universe.
Zhang Junbao was somewhat surprised. He originally thought that the Master of Craftsman God had brought him into the palace because he was willing to tell him the whereabouts of the Sitting Mountain Guest. He did not expect that the God of Crafts did not take the Human Race or even the Giant Axe Founder seriously at all.
"As the Chaos City Lord predicted, although the Master of Craftsman God has a forthright personality, his will is extremely firm. It will be very difficult to change his mind. With the power of his clan and the prestige of a strongman, it is impossible to make him speak."
Fortunately, he asked why he should tell me, rather than saying he didn't know. This means he might actually know information about the Sitting Mountain Guest.
A resolute glint flashed in Zhang Junbao's eyes. The Sitting Mountain Guest was the Universe Supreme Master and the most mysterious existence in the Original Universe. Finding his whereabouts would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
If he hadn't deliberately left clues, Zhang Junbao probably wouldn't have been able to find him even after tens of thousands of years.
"I wonder what it will take for the Master of Craftsman God to tell me?" Zhang Junbao asked, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Are you so sure I know the whereabouts of the Sitting Mountain Guest?" the Master of Craftsman God asked.
His relationship with the Sitting Mountain Guest was known to very few in the universe; even the Chaos City Lord was unaware of their connection. The Chaos City Lord merely speculated that, as top-tier Treasure Refining experts in the universe, the Master of Craftsman God and the Sitting Mountain Guest might have some connection.
However, Zhang Junbao was indeed quite certain of the relationship between the Sitting Mountain Guest and the Master of Craftsman God.
"Senior, aren't you curious why I'm so sure you know about Senior Sitting Mountain Guest?"
"Kindness?"
This time, it was the Master of Craftsman God's turn to be puzzled.
After the Sitting Mountain Guest refused to take him as an apprentice, he stopped contacting him. But not long ago, the Sitting Mountain Guest left a message for the Master of Craftsman God, asking him to help test Zhang Junbao.
This greatly excited the Master of Craftsman God, proving that the Sitting Mountain Guest had not forgotten him. As the Sitting Mountain Guest's disciple, the Master of Craftsman God was already content as long as his teacher remembered him.
"What is it about him that Sitting Mountain Guest value him so much?" The Master of Craftsman God wondered.
" Master of Craftsman God, I'm not only certain that you know about Senior Sitting Mountain Guest, but I also know that you and Sitting Mountain Guest have a very close relationship," Zhang Junbao said with a faint smile.
To persuade the Master of Craftsman God, one must provide information that will pique his interest. Since neither his clan nor the powerful Human Race could get the Master of Craftsman God to speak, Zhang Junbao had no choice but to play this trump card.
"What exactly do you know?" Upon hearing Zhang Junbao's words, the Master of Craftsman God's expression changed drastically.
He believed that the Sitting Mountain Guest wouldn't voluntarily reveal their relationship to Zhang Junbao, so how did Zhang Junbao, a World Lord, know this information?
"I have my own methods," Zhang Junbao said mysteriously.
He had pondered why the Universe Origin released the Original Ancestor to stop the Sitting Mountain Guest back in the Star Tower. What secret could make even the Universe Origin so wary?
After much thought, Zhang Junbao guessed that this mystery was likely related to him.
Imagine if the Sitting Mountain Guest glimpsed the memories within Zhang Junbao's soul and learned the truth and development of the entire Devouring Universe, would he still obediently be restricted by the Universe Origin?
As a former God King Level powerhouse, the Universe Origin is probably not an unsolvable problem for him. However, at this moment, the Sitting Mountain Guest is still waiting for an opportunity and does not want to expose his secrets.
Once he learns about everything that will happen in the future, he will inevitably take action.
Compared to the Original Ancestor, the Sitting Mountain Guest poses a far more terrifying threat to the Universe Origin, and even the entire Universe Ocean.
If he regains his strength, who in the entire Universe Ocean can restrain the Sitting Mountain Guest?
He might even turn the Universe Origin into his plaything.
Thinking about this, Zhang Junbao guessed why the Universe Origin was willing to temporarily release its suppression of the Original Ancestor in order to prevent the Sitting Mountain Guest from spying on Zhang Junbao's soul.
Therefore, the deal between the Original Ancestor and the Sitting Mountain Guest must be related to his own secret.
This is why Zhang Junbao was confident he could persuade the Master of Craftsman God.
Although the Sitting Mountain Guest set up tests, his ultimate goal was undoubtedly to get Zhang Junbao to find him. If Zhang Junbao gets stuck by these tests, the one who should be worried is not the Human Race or Zhang Junbao, but the Sitting Mountain Guest himself.
Hearing Zhang Junbao's answer, the Master of Craftsman God felt somewhat frustrated.
Because the Sitting Mountain Guest had instructed that he could not lay a hand on Zhang Junbao, he, a dignified Universe Master, was powerless against a mere World Lord.
"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it. But if you want to get information from me, you must pass my test." The Master of Craftsman God didn't dwell on it. He already knew about his relationship with the Sitting Mountain Guest. In fact, the Master of Craftsman God was somewhat looking forward to the news spreading throughout the universe that the Sitting Mountain Guest was his teacher.
"I think I've passed the test of the Heavenly Bridge, haven't I?" Zhang Junbao said.
According to Morpheus, World Lord Level only needs to build ninety-nine steps to pass the test, but he has built a thousand steps in the past thousand years, which is completely comparable to the level of Universe Venerable.
"That was merely a test to be able to meet me. I admit that your talent is indeed remarkable, reaching the level of Universe Venerable while only being at the World Lord."
You have passed the test of the Heaven-Reaching Stairway and have seen me; the test is now over.
"And what I'm talking about is the test you're given to obtain information from me," the Master of Craftsman God said slowly.
"Please enlighten me Master of Craftsman God."
"For the sake of the Chaos City Lord, I must tell you that this test is extremely dangerous. If you fail, you will die!"
Don't think you can act without fear just because you have the ability to create Clone. This test requires both your original body and your Clone to participate.
Your Clone technique is not unique to Human Race. Although I don't know how you obtained such a heaven-defying opportunity, if you fail the test, even if you are resurrected by Reverse Time and Space, you will definitely be unable to cultivate your Clone technique. Even the Life Gene Level that you improved because of the Clone technique will be completely erased.
Have you thought it through?
Zhang Junbao looked up at the Master of Craftsman God and, seeing the serious expression on his face, knew that it was all true.
Although most of his combat power comes from his own Law Comprehension, the enhancement he receives from the Supreme Treasure and the Life Gene Level should not be underestimated.
If his soul were to dissipate and he were resurrected through Reverse Time and Space, he would likely be unable to use the Ancestral God Lingxi, which would mean he would lose the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, a Supreme Treasure.
This could very likely cause the collapse of his inner world. Zhang Junbao's inner world was formed based on nine law cores representing the eight fundamental laws and the Heart of Extreme Yang. If he could not gain the recognition of the Ancestral God Lingxi, he would be unable to control the nine law cores.
This results in the instability of one's Internal World, inevitably leading to a significant drop in one's strength.
Having lost the Clone Secret Technique, his Life Gene Level reverted to its original state. Relying solely on his own Law Comprehension, he would find it difficult to defeat even an ordinary King Rank expert.
This was absolutely a choice that concerned life, death, and the future.
Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Junbao's mind. He knew that if he wanted to stand at the pinnacle of the universe, the guidance of the Sitting Mountain Guest was the fastest shortcut. If he relied on his own arduous cultivation, even with heaven-defying talent, how long would it take to perfect the Ten Great Laws and achieve the Chaos Law?
Moreover, no one in the Original Universe knew how to cultivate the Chaos Law; even Zhang Junbao could only proceed by Stone and error.
Although the Sitting Mountain Guest's strength is limited by the Universe Origin and he is unable to recover, his knowledge is the most precious treasure in the Original Universe.
God King must have a profound understanding of the Chaos Law. With just a few words from him, he could equal Zhang Junbao's millions of years of exploration.
Therefore, finding the Sitting Mountain Guest was imperative for him.
Not just for themselves, but for the Human Race.
" Master of Craftsman God, my mind is made up. Please grant me a test!"
The Master of Craftsman God did not speak, but simply gazed at him, seeing only the unwavering determination in Zhang Junbao's eyes.
After a long silence, the Master of Craftsman God finally spoke, "As expected of a top genius among the Human Race, one in hundreds of millions of opportunities, your courage is indeed extraordinary."
"This test is incredibly difficult, but if you pass it, the benefits to you will be immense."
"The reason why your main body and your Clone need to participate is because of your Clone Secret Technique. If I'm not mistaken, your Clone Secret Technique probably has flaws, doesn't it?" said the Master of Craftsman God.
Zhang Junbao was extremely surprised. The Master of Craftsman God had only known him for a short time, yet he was able to see the flaws in the Clone Secret Technique he was practicing!
The One Qi Transforms into Three Purities Secret Technique is a secret technique obtained by Zhang Junbao from the Ancestral God Lingxi, which allows him to Clone and enhance his Life Gene Level. Theoretically speaking, this secret technique is even more powerful than the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, because it not only allows cultivators to enhance their Life Gene Level, but also enables them to obtain two Clone.
However, this powerful secret technique has a fatal flaw: the genes are extremely prone to collapse.
The slightest mishap could cause Zhang Junbao's very being to suffer genetic collapse, Soul Annihilation, and utter death.
Therefore, Zhang Junbao dared not recklessly raise his Life Gene Level. If he released his Clone and allowed it to devour the genes of other universe races, Zhang Junbao could even push his Gene Level to a perfect state in a short period of time.
However, the possibility of genetic collapse is equally terrifying. It is very possible that before the Gene Level can be raised to ten thousand times, the individual will perish completely due to genetic collapse.
"Could it be that the Master of Craftsman God has a solution?"
"This is the test I was going to tell you about. Now that you've made up your mind, come with me."
Before Zhang Junbao could react, he was Teleportation to a cave by the Master of Craftsman God. At the deepest part of the cave, a gourd-shaped object, over three meters tall, entirely black, and composed of strange substances, was suspended in the air.
The black gourd floated in mid-air, its mouth spouting endless flames upwards!
"This is..."
"This is inside the mountain of Craftsman God Mountain. This ' Flame Gourd ' is the source of the flames that my disciples and I use to refine treasures."
The flames it spews can reach millions of kilometers in distance; even stars would be instantly vaporized in its presence.
" The Flame Gourd is connected to the Craftsman God Mountain through 36 void chains, allowing it to absorb energy from the Craftsman God Mountain and permanently spew out flames."
The Master of Craftsman God gave Zhang Junbao a detailed introduction to the Flame Gourd in front of him. Zhang Junbao was also shocked. This was the first time he had ever seen such terrifying fire attribute Power of Law.
"This Craftsman God Star is Top-tier Supreme Treasure I crafted, and the Flame Gourd is one of its components. All the energy refined throughout the entire Craftsman God Star Craftsman God Star continuously gathers into the Flame Gourd, making it capable of crafting Top-tier Supreme Treasure!"
"The test you must take is—jump!"
The Master of Craftsman God were astonishing. Zhang Junbao originally thought that he was introducing the Flame Gourd to him to demonstrate his Treasure Refining skills, but he didn't expect that after talking for so long, he was actually asking him to jump down.
This is a terrifying flame capable of forging Top-tier Supreme Treasure. With the support of the Master of Craftsman God Divine Power, even the Universe Master would not dare to easily withstand its flames.
Even if Zhang Junbao now possesses strength comparable to that of Invincible King, jumping down would only lead to his death; he would be instantly vaporized without a trace.
Even whether his two Supreme Treasure could survive such terrifying flames was a question.
"Why is this?" Zhang Junbao had a thousand questions in his mind. He did not think that the Master of Craftsman God was deliberately playing a trick on him. As the Universe Master, he probably did not have the leisure to play tricks on a World Lord.
The Master of Craftsman God was not angry; in fact, he showed a look of envy. He said, "Your Clone Secret Technique is powerful, but it forcibly fuses the genes of Special Lifeform. Although it can raise the Life Gene Level, if it continues to rise, it will inevitably collapse one day."
" The Flame Gourd is a powerful flame used to refine treasures; it can not only melt various materials from the universe, but also the genes of life."
"Melting life genes?"
"That's right!" the Master of Craftsman God said proudly.
"This ability has no effect on ordinary people, but it is remarkably effective for Special Lifeform Special Lifeform the universe, especially those like you who have cultivated and enhanced their life genes."
Zhang Junbao is not the only one in the universe who can devour other life forms to improve his Gene Level; it's just that their improvement is very limited.
"The reason why genes acquired through absorption and fusion are prone to collapse is because they do not perfectly match your own genes. However, this problem can be solved by refining them with my Flame Gourd."
In other words, you will be able to confidently enhance your life genes in the future.
The words of the Master of Craftsman God held a fatal allure for Zhang Junbao. The stronger his Life Gene Level, the stronger his Divine Power foundation, and the more his power could be unleashed by using secret techniques.
However, is fusing one's own life genes really that simple?
"Strength or Destruction, it all depends on your choice!"
