"Your ability to survive this test truly exceeded my expectations. The genes of 10,080 Special Lifeform in the universe, plus your own, make 10,081 genes, completely fused together without collapsing. It's truly astonishing."
The Master of Craftsman God looked at Zhang Junbao as if he were looking at a cosmic treasure. In the eyes of such a Treasure Refining, Zhang Junbao was no less precious than a Top-tier Supreme Treasure.
The idea of refining life genes is far more difficult and insane than refining ordinary treasures. Even the Master of Craftsman God is hailed as the most outstanding Treasure Refining master in the universe, could not have come up with such a crazy idea.
But to everyone's surprise, the Sitting Mountain Guest came up with such a crazy solution, and Zhang Junbao even more crazyly completed the Sitting Mountain Guest's idea. The two never met, but this terrifying tacit understanding made the Master of Craftsman God feel the enormous gap between them.
The Sitting Mountain Guest had his reasons for not accepting him as a disciple.
"Luck. If I had to do it again, I'm not sure I could have held on," Zhang Junbao replied with a smile.
"Perhaps you don't know this, but in the universe, luck is also an extremely important force. Although the Universe Origin is absolutely fair, the Origin Will will have its own slight preferences and biases. This secret is no longer a secret among the top forces in the universe." The Master of Craftsman God was very satisfied with Zhang Junbao's attitude, which was neither arrogant nor impatient, showing the demeanor of a top-level powerhouse.
"If the Origin Will has preferences, how can it be said to be absolutely fair?"
Zhang Junbao had always had a question in his mind: the Universe Origin should not have a will, but all the major forces in the universe have found the existence of the Universe Origin Will. The existence of an autonomous will means that it will have the idea of seeking benefits and avoiding harm. This is the innate instinct of any thinking object, not a utilitarian mind.
Zhang Junbao had also heard the Chaos City Lord mention this matter, but the Chaos City Lord didn't know much about the Universe Origin Will. The only thing he knew was that the Universe Origin Will had suppressed the Original Ancestor who had offended it.
"Humans may not understand this, but as Special Lifeform, a natural favorite of the Universe Origin, I do have some unique insights into the Universe Origin," the Master of Craftsman God chuckled mysteriously.
"Please enlighten me Master of Craftsman God," Zhang Junbao said respectfully.
Such secrets concerning the Universe Origin are not something that can be easily known. The Master of Craftsman God dared to speak of them must mean that he had personally come to this realization.
While such insights may not necessarily enhance one's strength, they could play a significant role in understanding the fundamental nature of the Universe Origin.
It may not be of much significance to lower-level cultivators, but it is of great significance to the stronger cultivators.
Because at the level of the Universe Master, exploring the essence of the Universe Origin is an important way for them to enhance their own strength.
Zhang Junbao vaguely remembered that for each Universe Master to advance to the Universe Supreme Master, they had to walk their own path; two completely identical paths could not accommodate two Universe Supreme Master.
At this point, understanding the Universe Origin becomes especially important.
"Heh, so you've got a need to ask for help too. I thought nothing could stump you!" The Master of Craftsman God didn't answer Zhang Junbao's question, but instead looked at him with increasingly bright eyes.
Zhang Junbao felt a little uneasy under his gaze. The Master of Craftsman God was Mountain Giant Special Lifeform mountain range; he shouldn't be interested in him. So what was with the admiration, even infatuation, in his eyes?
"No, I am but a minor World Lord, how dare I presume to teach a fish to swim before the great Master of Craftsman God?"
"No, you not only successfully refined yourself as a treasure in front of me, but you also opened up a completely new way of thinking for me."
You can share my insights, but there's a price to pay.
"Could it be that I possess something that the Master of Craftsman God has taken a liking to?"
Zhang Junbao asked cautiously. He had heard that the Master of Craftsman God was a forthright person, but not a good-tempered one, so Zhang Junbao could only deal with it carefully.
How many top-tier Treasure Refining experts are so easy to talk to?
Your body!
"This..."
Zhang Junbao was terrified. He looked up at the Master of Craftsman God in astonishment. The Master of Craftsman God wanted his body?
Could it be that they want to possess his body?
This is not impossible; many powerful beings in the universe choose to possess the body of a Special Lifeform as Clone or to enhance their potential.
Countless powerful beings have proven that Special Lifeform forms in the universe are born with Gene Level far superior to ordinary life forms, making them perfect targets for possession.
Although the Master of Craftsman God is also Special Lifeform, there is no rule that Special Lifeform cannot possess others. Zhang Junbao's current Life Gene Level is quite high, even among the Universe Master.
Zhang Junbao remained vigilant, having already informed Feitian in his mind that if the Master of Craftsman God made any move, he should immediately notify the Chaos City Lord to come and rescue him.
On the Craftsman God Star, perhaps only the Chaos City Lord can save him.
" Master of Craftsman God, I am someone whom Senior Sitting Mountain Guest values and tests. Please have some self-respect!" Zhang Junbao brought up Sitting Mountain Guest to calm the Master of Craftsman God.
The Chaos City Lord might not care, but the Master of Craftsman God has always regarded the Sitting Mountain Guest as his teacher, and he will certainly not ignore the Sitting Mountain Guest's opinion.
"Calm?"
The Master of Craftsman God was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, understanding what Zhang Junbao was thinking.
"Hahaha... you little rascal, did you think I was going to possess your body?"
"Although your current life gene is considered to be of a very high level among Special Lifeform, I would not stoop to such a despicable act!"
In my eyes, strength is not the most important thing; my true goal is to forge the strongest treasure in the universe.
Unfortunately, my talent and abilities are limited, so it would be very difficult for me to achieve that. However, I see a glimmer of hope for success in you.
I've taken a liking to your physique and want you to stay at my Craftsman God Mountain for a while so I can guide you in refining Supreme Treasure.
Although your body has integrated 10,080 Special Lifeform genes, including mine, you are unable to utilize their characteristics.
"Do you really think that the genes of our Special Lifeform are simply fused together to enhance basic strength?"
"This..."
Upon hearing the explanation from the Master of Craftsman God, Zhang Junbao realized he had misunderstood.
In the universe, cultivators who desire treasures generally resort to robbery, or trade if they cannot seize them. However, the Master of Craftsman God is an exception. He does not pursue power but instead seeks the ultimate Treasure Refining skills. This leads to other life forms on the Craftsman God Star not engaging in life-or-death struggles but instead competing with each other in Treasure Refining prowess.
Zhang Junbao had only been on Craftsman God Star for a short time, and his initial judgment of the Master of Craftsman God's actions based on normal cosmic thinking led to a huge blunder.
"In my eyes, you are a top-quality material. Just seeing you makes me want to refine you into a Top-tier Supreme Treasure. You also study Treasure Refining, so you should understand my feelings."
"Indeed, when I encounter good materials, I can't help but make a purchase." Zhang Junbao finally understood what was going on with the admiration and fascination he had seen in the eyes of the Master of Craftsman God earlier.
The Master of Craftsman God regarded him as a top-tier material. His Extreme Yang Clone was Metal Lifeform. If Zhang Junbao's Soul Annihilation, then the remaining Extreme Yang Clone could become a top-tier material for Treasure Refining.
The bodies of powerful beings in the universe are also valuable materials. Back then, Zhang Junbao and his group on Earth dared not sell the corpses of Hu Yanbo and his World Lord, which would have been an enormous fortune that they could not afford.
" Master of Craftsman God, you said that Senior Sitting Mountain Guest has set up another test for me in the Ancestral God Sect. I need to find the Beast God Inheritance Token before I can go to the Ancestral God Sect. I'm afraid I won't be able to follow you and cultivate peacefully on the Craftsman God Star."
" Beast God Inheritance Token? Is something like that a problem?"
"Ah?"
The answer from the Master of Craftsman God was truly unexpected for Zhang Junbao.
Each Beast God Inheritance Token represents a spot to receive the Beast God Inheritance at the Ancestral God Sect. Even top-tier powers like humanity cannot offer many of them, making them extremely precious.
Luo Feng's teacher True Yan King, searched for the Beast God Inheritance Token in the universe without success. He then cultivated in Chaos City for hundreds of millions of years, praying that his clan could bestow upon him a Beast God Inheritance Token.
A single Beast God Inheritance Token might represent the hope of an Invincible King can advance to become Universe Venerable, its value comparable to Ordinary Supreme Treasure.
"As far as I know, the Beast God Inheritance Token is extremely rare and precious in the universe; many powerful individuals are even willing to exchange several Top-Tier Heavy Treasure for it!"
"A few Top-Tier Heavy Treasure might be precious in the eyes of King-level Immortal, and even worthy of attention by an ordinary Universe Venerable, but on my Craftsman God Mountain, they really are nothing special," the Master of Craftsman God replied proudly.
Even the top powers in the universe would find it difficult to utter such words as those of the Master of Craftsman God; only the Master of Craftsman God has such qualifications.
The top powers in the universe may possess many Beast God Inheritance Token, but what they need to take care of is the entire race. The rise of countless geniuses and powerful individuals makes the inheritance of the Path of the Beast God an extremely important way to break through and cultivate.
No matter how many Beast God Inheritance Token you have, it's not enough to face the geniuses of an entire race.
That's why the Beast God Inheritance Token is so precious in the eyes of these forces. After all, a single Beast God Inheritance Token might signify the birth of a new Universe Venerable.
Look at the bricks beneath your feet, they're Heavy Treasure!
The walls surrounding this Treasure Refining room are also filled with Heavy Treasure!
The Treasure Refining in front of you, used for forging materials, is equivalent to High-grade Supreme Treasure!
Although the Flame Gourd is part of the Craftsman God Star, when disassembled separately, its power is equivalent to High-grade Supreme Treasure!
"Is a mere Beast God Inheritance Token, at most an Ordinary Supreme Treasure, really considered precious?"
Zhang Junbao then realized that any one of the black floor tiles he was standing on could be a priceless Heavy Treasure that countless King-level Immortal would fight tooth and nail for outside.
There are countless bricks like these under my feet.
Here, they are nothing more than ordinary floor tiles. If the Master of Craftsman God were to accidentally kick one of these tiles onto a planet in the universe, it might create a peerless genius who could wield a brick and annihilate a multitude of enemies.
The Treasure Refining Platform and the Flame Gourd are both components of the top-tier Flying Palace-type Supreme Treasure ' Craftsman God Star,' so it's quite normal that they possess the power of High-grade Supreme Treasure.
Zhang Junbao originally thought that the Chaos City Lord's ' Thousand Treasure River ' was already extremely rare, having gathered over a thousand Supreme Treasure. Now it seems that if the Master of Craftsman God wanted to create a Supreme Treasure similar to the Thousand Treasure River, it probably wouldn't be too difficult.
"Although I don't need the Beast God Inheritance Token, many forces use it as payment to ask me to forge Supreme Treasure for them. I usually don't work on ordinary Ordinary Supreme Treasure, but some of my disciples are capable of forging Supreme Treasure."
If you want it, you can set conditions and ask them to exchange it for the Beast God Inheritance Token.
Before you go to the Ancestral God Sect, you need to master the skill of crafting Supreme Treasure on my Craftsman God Star. You have already passed my test to become a disciple. Although I cannot accept you as my disciple, you must meet my requirements if you want to leave Craftsman God Star.
Only disciples capable of crafting Supreme Treasure are allowed to leave Craftsman God Star; otherwise, venturing into the universe would tarnish the reputation of the Master of Craftsman God.
The Master of Craftsman God knew that the Sitting Mountain Guest valued Zhang Junbao highly, so he didn't mind making a small investment in Zhang Junbao.
Moreover, a genius like him, with his powerful talent for Law Comprehension and crafting treasures, would be someone no Universe Master would want to easily miss out on.
Geniuses seek out top experts to become their teachers, while top experts also seek to discover true geniuses and pass on their secret techniques.
"Thank you, Master of Craftsman God! I will definitely pass this test!"
Zhang Junbao expressed his gratitude. He had been racking his brains about where to find the Beast God Inheritance Token, but unexpectedly, on Craftsman God Star, he could have someone else deliver the Beast God Inheritance Token to him.
The reputation of the supreme Treasure Refining Master of Craftsman God, is enough to make some races that possess the Beast God Inheritance Token make a choice.
"Come here and let me see your true skill in Treasure Refining. You have already fused with my life genes, and I will guide you on how to unleash the ' Power of Mountain and Fire ' contained within them. This was originally my Innate Secret Technique, but I believe you might be able to master it. Even if you can't fully master it, it will greatly benefit your future treasure crafting!"
"Yes!"
Inside the Treasure Refining chamber of Craftsman God Mountain, the clanging and hammering sounds rang out once again, occasionally accompanied by guidance from the Master of Craftsman God.
"Remember, to refine a treasure, you need to be as still as a mountain and as fierce as fire. With each strike, you must mold the inherent Law Secret Patterns of the material into the shape you wish to refine."
"I've heard you once acquired a Supreme Treasure capable of changing shape; in that case, use it as your hammer."
"That's true."
Zhang Junbao didn't hide anything and took out the ' True Martial Demon-Subduing Sword '. As Supreme Treasure of the Mechanical Flow, it can not only transform into the shape of a sword, but also into any other shape.
"This method of refining Supreme Treasure is quite ingenious. It seems to be the work of Treasure Refiner from before the Great Destruction."
Based on the Eight Beast God Paths, and condensing the power of the Path of the Beast God, could it be an attempt to glimpse the mysteries of the Universe Origin? It's a good idea, but the necessary components are extremely rare."
" The Master of Craftsman God, the Venerable Tiehuo, Treasure Refiner of my Human Race, said that this Supreme Treasure Supreme Treasure requires the condensation of the essence of the Eight Beast Gods to refine components of the Eight Beast God Paths in order to truly unleash its power."
" Iron Fire? It's that little guy."
His strength isn't that great, but his skill in Treasure Refining is quite good. I heard he previously advanced to the Universe Venerable using Supreme Treasure, so he has some good insights into the art of Treasure Refining.
Given the strength of the Master of Craftsman God, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to call Venerable Tiehuo "little fellow."
"He's right. Your Supreme Treasure is extremely audacious, attempting to use the power of the Eight Beast God Paths to explore the mysteries of the Universe Origin. It's probably related to a path for a Universe Master to advance to the Universe Supreme Master."
However, now that all Eight Beast God Paths are missing, its power has been greatly reduced.
" Iron Fire is right. If you can find the essence of the Eight Beast Gods in the universe, it is indeed possible to restore its power."
"Unfortunately Eight Great Innate Beast Gods have long since perished and been completely divided among various races. Every part of their bodies is a top-grade natural material for Treasure Refining, and each piece contains the power of the Universe Origin Law."
" Master of Craftsman God, do you know where in the universe you can still find the Beast God Crystallization?" Zhang Junbao asked.
If we were to say who in the universe is most likely to know the whereabouts of the Beast God Crystallization, besides the Sitting Mountain Guest, it would probably be the Master of Craftsman God. Even if powerful individuals from other races obtain the Crystal Essence left behind by the Beast God, they would still need Treasure Refining Refiner to craft a treasure before they can use it. As the Master of Craftsman God is recognized as the strongest true Treasure Refiner in the universe besides the Sitting Mountain Guest, it is only natural that one would seek him out to refine Supreme Treasure if they obtained good materials.
"What, you want to obtain the Beast God Crystallization from them?"
"That's certainly the idea. If I gather all the parts, the power of my Supreme Treasure will definitely increase dramatically!" Zhang Junbao didn't hide anything. The Master of Craftsman God would know his intentions at a glance, so there was no need to hide them.
"Haha, good lad, you have guts. If you gather all the parts, the power could probably reach the Top-tier Supreme Treasure, or even Peak Supreme Treasure."
However, even with the power of your Human Race, obtaining all the Beast God Crystallization is by no means an easy task. Those who can obtain the Essence are at least at the level of Universe Master, or even the Universe Supreme Master.
Even if the Chaos City Lord helps you, you might not be able to seize it.
Zhang Junbao understood that the Chaos City Lord and the human elites knew he possessed this Supreme Treasure, and that it had immense potential, possibly becoming Peak Supreme Treasure. It's important to know that the entire Human Race possessed only a handful of top-tier Peak Supreme Treasure; this was a treasure powerful enough to suppress the race's destiny.
However, the human leadership is not optimistic about this matter. To seize all the condensed essence, they would inevitably have to fight and even risk their lives against the Universe Master of other races, which is why they are not very enthusiastic.
The uncertainty is too high, but the cost is extremely high.
No one knows whether obtaining the Beast God Crystallization will actually allow them to synthesize a Peak Supreme Treasure.
"I need to know just how formidable my opponent truly is. If I don't even dare to try, wouldn't that diminish your reputation Master of Craftsman God? After all, I am Treasure Refiner who hails from the Craftsman God Star, aren't I? Can you bear to watch a Peak Supreme Treasure remain incomplete like this? That's not the behavior expected of Treasure Refiner, is it?"
"Fine, even if I didn't say anything, you'll probably have to fight them in the future anyway. With the Human Race and Master Sitting Mountain Guest backing you up, you might not be afraid of them at all."
I once crafted a Palace-type Supreme Treasure, which belonged to the Demon Race Lord of Sky Wolf. If you wish to seize the Beast God Crystallization, he is one of its owners.
" The Lord of Sky Wolf? It's him!"
Zhang Junbao hadn't expected that the target given by the Master of Craftsman God would be his old acquaintance, the Lord of Sky Wolf. It was only natural that the Demon Race, like the Human Race, had a good relationship with the Master of Craftsman God Master of Craftsman God to forge Supreme Treasure for them.
Of all the Universe Master among the Demon Race Outer Domain Battlefield, it was the Lord of Sky Wolf whom he knew best. It was the Lord of Sky Wolf Venerable Tianhua to break the rules and enter the Outer Domain Battlefield to try to kill Zhang Junbao during the battle outside the domain.
It could be said that Zhang Junbao and he had already formed a grudge long ago, and now it seems that his fate with the Lord of Sky Wolf is not yet over.
"If it's the Lord of Sky Wolf, I'd like to give it a try if I have the chance in the future. After all, the Demon Lord Luan Shen has been eyeing his wolf pelt for quite some time now." Zhang Junbao's lips curled up into a smile.
