At this moment, Zhang Junbao saw such a serious and earnest expression in the eyes of the Sitting Mountain Guest for the first time. In the past, no matter what happened, the Sitting Mountain Guest always appeared calm and indifferent, as if it were none of his business. But at this moment, the Sitting Mountain Guest finally became serious.
An inexplicable aura of authority emanated from him, and even Zhang Junbao was unconsciously affected.
" Luo Feng, you stay here. You can use this time to finish cultivating the last part of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual," said the Sitting Mountain Guest to Luo Feng.
He then turned to Zhang Junbao and said, "Kid, you come over here and assist me. I've been teaching you for so long, but I haven't really tested your skill in crafting magical artifacts. If you're too useless, I'll consider abolishing your Treasure Refining abilities and erasing all your memories related to Treasure Refining."
At this moment, the Sitting Mountain Guest was extremely domineering, as if the majesty of the God King had reappeared.
Zhang Junbao wasn't about to back down either, looking at the Sitting Mountain Guest and laughing, "I hope your trump card isn't too easy to learn. If I can master it at a glance, you'll be out of a job."
"Hmph, you think you can empty my most treasured possessions? Even if you had a million epochs, you still couldn't do it!"
The next moment, to Luo Feng's astonishment, the Sitting Mountain Guest teleported away with Zhang Junbao, leaving him alone to guard the Blood Cloud Palace.
"Won't those two start fighting?"
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Luo Feng said with concern.
Although he said that, Luo Feng felt a little envious in his heart.
Zhang Junbao and the Sitting Mountain Guest didn't seem like master and disciple at all; rather, they seemed like two true Daoist friends exploring the Great Dao together.
They inspired each other's fighting spirit, and even the long-silent Sitting Mountain Guest became serious for once.
Soon, the scene before Zhang Junbao changed, and he appeared in a star field surrounded by crimson light.
This star field is very peculiar. Within a radius of thousands of light-years, there is not a single star in sight, except for a huge star emitting a red light that stands alone in front of you.
This celestial body was only the size of a normal star, but its gravity made Zhang Junbao feel his body sink.
With his current strength, even entering the interior of a black hole wouldn't put him under too much pressure, but this celestial body in front of him gave Zhang Junbao an extremely strong feeling of pressure.
Moreover, the surrounding temperature was extremely high. Even though he was wearing a Daoist robe that was transformed from the Extreme Yang Clone Peak Supreme Treasure, he still felt a wave of heat. Zhang Junbao even felt that the terrifying temperature of this strange star was more terrifying than the full-force attack of the Void True Demon God.
"Where is this?" Zhang Junbao asked, puzzled.
"Didn't you want to forge the Strongest Supreme Treasure battle axe? Do you think that forging materials of this level of Supreme Treasure is as simple as just lighting a fire to melt them?" The Sitting Mountain Guest appeared behind him and spoke.
"This is a very special star in the Original Universe. It devoured all other stars within three thousand light-years of it, but instead of evolving into a black hole, it gave birth to this peculiar star, which I call the ' Fire Origin Star '. Its terrifying temperature is such that even Universe Master would be burned to ashes if he entered it," explained the Sitting Mountain Guest.
"Such terrifying celestial bodies still exist in the Original Universe." Zhang Junbao exclaimed in amazement. Such celestial bodies truly broadened his horizons.
" The Original Universe is so vast, how many places have you even visited? You haven't even explored one ten-thousandth of Original Universe, so it's natural that you haven't seen it." The Sitting Mountain Guest scornfully belittled Zhang Junbao.
Zhang Junbao didn't refute it; he simply couldn't refute it.
In terms of knowledge, no one in the Original Universe can compare to the Sitting Mountain Guest. As a former God King, and having been reincarnated into the Original Universe at the very beginning of this Reincarnation Era, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to say that he watched the Original Universe grow up.
In terms of knowledge and experience, Zhang Junbao was completely outmatched.
However, he didn't care. How long had he lived? Aside from the hundreds of millions of years he spent cultivating in the Giant Axe Miniature Universe, he had actually only lived for a few hundred thousand years in the Original Universe. It seemed like a lot, but compared to those old monsters who had lived for hundreds of thousands or millions of epochs, his age was completely insignificant.
"Did you come here to refine the Strongest Supreme Treasure?"
"You do have some sense. That's right, the requirements for materials are extremely demanding when refining different Strongest Supreme Treasure."
"Materials, techniques, and the refining equipment—all are indispensable."
"You've been to the Craftsman God Star, and you've seen the Craftsman God gather the power of the entire Craftsman God Star into a fiery gourd, forming a furnace for refining Supreme Treasure. While this method is good, it can only refine ordinary Supreme Treasure. At most, it can refine top-tier treasures, and even Peak Supreme Treasure are difficult to obtain, let alone the most Strongest Supreme Treasure."
"From a hierarchical perspective, the Strongest Supreme Treasure can also be considered Supreme Treasure at the level of the Universe Supreme Master. Generally, Top Universe Overlord can use Ordinary Supreme Treasure or High-grade Supreme Treasure, and very few can possess Top-tier Supreme Treasure."
For the Universe Master, Supreme Treasure below the top level are practically worthless; they can easily blast ordinary Supreme Treasure apart with their bare hands. Only Top-tier Supreme Treasure, or even Peak Supreme Treasure, can unleash their full power.
Similarly, for the Universe Supreme Master, Supreme Treasure below the peak level are basically useless. Even Peak Supreme Treasure are barely usable; only the Strongest Supreme Treasure can truly withstand the full power unleashed by the Universe Supreme Master.
"The human Giant Axe is considered very powerful among the Universe Supreme Master. Even without Strongest Supreme Treasure, it can reach the Eighth Order. If it possesses Strongest Supreme Treasure, it can unleash the power of the ninth rank. Newly emerging Universe Supreme Master like Meng Cha of the Demon Race would find it difficult to withstand the Giant Axe for long." The Sitting Mountain Guest spoke eloquently, taking out a large amount of materials while introducing some common knowledge about the universe to Zhang Junbao.
This knowledge is commonplace for the strongest, but it is extremely rare and valuable to Zhang Junbao.
" The Dream Demon Ancestor is the strongest being who possesses the Strongest Supreme Treasure ' Dream Scale,' yet even he couldn't withstand the Giant Axe's attack?"
"Heh, do you think that humanity, with only Giant Axe and no Strongest Supreme Treasure, could become one of the top races when facing the threats of the Three Great Peak Races — the Demon Race, the Zerg, and the Machine Race— "
If it weren't for the Giant Axe's power to suppress the Universe Supreme Master, Human Race would have been completely annihilated by other forces long ago after the Original Ancestor was suppressed. Keep in mind, the Original Ancestor single-handedly suppressed the entire Original Universe and the Universe Ocean.
It can be said that all the powerful forces in the entire Original Universe are enemies of the Human Race. With the Original Ancestor suppressed, how could they easily let the Human Race go?
If it weren't for the two, Giant Axe and Chaos, holding on desperately, Human Race would have been wiped out long ago.
"When I terraformed the Milky Way Galaxy, the galaxy where Earth is located was not part of Human Race territory; it was later conquered by Human Race."
"Don't underestimate the Giant Axe. Although he isn't a well-rounded powerhouse like the Original Ancestor, the path he walks is extremely pure."
"Completely relying on brute force to overcome all techniques, there are no fancy attacks in battle, only one axe blow after another, hacking the opponent to death. Like Meng Cha, who watches the Strongest Supreme Treasure withstand the attack head-on, what is most feared is a pure battle maniac like the Giant Axe."
Without the suppression of time and space, without the strangeness of other attributes, it cleaves a path with the purest Dao.
Zhang Junbao suddenly remembered that the Giant Axe and Pangu, the Heaven Opening of the world, were actually quite similar.
Could it be that the creatures on Earth, in an extremely distant era, witnessed the Giant Axe axe cleaving through time and space, thus giving rise to the legend of Pangu Heaven Opening?
Among the top human powerhouses, Zhang Junbao has had the most contact with the Chaos City Lord and the Demon Lord Luan Shen so far. Although he cultivated in the Giant Axe's Miniature Universe for hundreds of millions of years, the Giant Axe was also cultivating during that time, so they did not have much interaction.
He now realized that he didn't actually know much about the Giant Axe.
The Giant Axe's contributions to Human Race, which enabled it to transition from the Primal Ancestor Era to coexisting with other top powers, are actually no less significant than those of the Original Ancestor.
After all, the continuation of a race is the most important thing.
" The Law that the Giant Axe cultivates are primarily based on earth Gold-Space, so to forge the Strongest Supreme Treasure suitable for it, materials with these attributes are needed," the Sitting Mountain Guest continued.
The Human Race possesses fifty-two Chaos Stele, among which the Giant Axe Chaos Stele is based on the Space Law. That is why Rong Jun chose the Giant Axe Chaos Stele for cultivation.
"Metallic materials are the hardest, especially when forging the Strongest Supreme Treasure axe. Ordinary methods simply cannot melt it; only the power of this ' Fire Origin Star ' can do it."
"Sigh, I hope you didn't rip me off. This time, I really went all out."
As he spoke, a strange piece of metal, completely black, appeared in the hand of the Sitting Mountain Guest. As soon as this piece of metal appeared, it seemed to possess an extremely terrifying weight. With its own gravity alone, it caused the surrounding space-time to begin to collapse, just like a black hole.
"This is what I obtained from the Mechanical Race Father God. It can be considered the strongest metal in the Original Universe, the ' Origin Gold Mother,' comparable only to the Boundary World Stone nurtured within the Starry Sky Behemoth Progenitor. It was born within the Mechanical Race Father God, and the material itself is comparable to Peak Supreme Treasure. It is also one of the rewards I received for this transaction." A trace of reluctance flashed in the Sitting Mountain Guest's eyes before disappearing.
Compared to other things, the secret Zhang Junbao told him was what he cared about most.
So the Sitting Mountain Guest decided to take a gamble and place his bet on the Human Race.
"It was actually obtained from the Mechanical Race Father God. If he knew that the ' Origin Gold Mother ' he painstakingly nurtured was used to forge the battle axe of the Giant Axe, wouldn't he be so angry that he would vomit blood?" Zhang Junbao laughed.
Upon seeing this piece of metal, he knew that the Sitting Mountain Guest did not intend to simply forge a Strongest Supreme Treasure and be done with it.
He possessed the pride of God King Level Treasure Refining master; if he was going to do something, he would do it to the best of his ability, and he would not allow a single defective product to leave his hands.
"This machine delivered itself to my door. Since you've asked me for a share, then this ' Origin Gold Mother ' is your share. It'll save you from saying I'm stingy in front of the Original Ancestor later."
For the Sitting Mountain Guest, although the ' Origin Gold Mother ' is precious, it cannot fulfill his ambitions; it is just a piece of scrap iron. He might as well take it out and invest it in Zhang Junbao, which might bring him some unexpected gains.
The Sitting Mountain Guest directly placed the ' Origin Gold Mother ' into the Fire Origin Star.
" The Origin Gold Mother needs to be forged in the Origin Star for eighty-one days. During this time, you will be responsible for retrieving the other materials. This ' Archaic Goldstone Staff ' is something I obtained in the Universe Ocean. It is an extremely rare earth-metal material, which can be used as an ambush."
A mottled stone staff, shimmering with Golden Light, appeared in the hand of the Sitting Mountain Guest. It looked quite ordinary, but the aura of Law fluctuations emanating from it caught Zhang Junbao's attention.
"Your Origin Universe Clone was evolved from a fragmented Universe Origin. Place this ' Archaic Goldstone Staff Staff ' within your Clone's original Universe Origin and nurture it for a period of time, nourishing it with the Universe Origin's essence. In this way, you will be able to fully unleash the power of the Giant Axe."
"Actually, when it comes to refining Supreme Treasure, your Origin Clone Universe is the most suitable place to do so. All materials in the universe are formed from the Universe Origin. You control the Origin Will, so in theory, you should be able to create naturally Strongest Supreme Treasure. It's just a pity that its level is still too low. If it reached the level of the original Universe Origin, it could even create treasures above the level of Strongest Supreme Treasure." At this point, even the Sitting Mountain Guest had to admire Zhang Junbao's luck.
He was even able to encounter a fragment of the Universe Origin.
"Like my Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation?" Zhang Junbao asked.
"Your Domain-type Supreme Treasure is indeed quite peculiar, but it should be considered to have been nurtured by the Original Universe, rather than by your origin. I saw that when you used it in the Ancestral God Sect, the surrounding 10,081 Star formed a Star universe, containing an extremely strong primordial aura."
"It must be the lost Primal Star, right?" the Sitting Mountain Guest said, looking at Zhang Junbao.
"Hahaha, as expected of the universe's number one Treasure Refining master, I couldn't hide anything from you."
"Stop flattering me. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't suspect that you've received the favor of the Universe Origin. The Universe Origin is usually stingy, so why is it being so generous to you?"
"Perhaps it's because I'm so upright and righteous!" Zhang Junbao said somewhat uncertainly.
"Nonsense! Are we some kind of evil demons? In the eyes of the Universe Origin, there is no distinction between good and evil."
"That's not necessarily true. Even the Universe Origin is afraid of death. Don't forget that the existence of a fragmented origin means that the Universe Origin will also one day perish."
"Could it be because of that drop of World Beast Blood? World Beast and the Universe Origin are mortal enemies. You suppressed the World Beast Blood, making the Universe Origin Will believe that you might be able to protect it from the World Beast World Beast it descends?" The Sitting Mountain Guest's eyes widened, increasingly convinced that his guess was correct.
"I didn't say anything, and I don't know anything. You guessed it yourself." Zhang Junbao waved his hand, looked up at the sky as if some force was brewing, and quickly denied it.
"Hahaha, I was just making a guess, and you have a problem with that?" The Sitting Mountain Guest looked into the void and laughed as he spoke.
"So you're afraid of death too. The reason the Original Ancestor was suppressed was because he wanted to seize your will. Does the favor shown towards Zhang Junbao mean that you see hope in him?"
Rumble!!!
Above the head of the Sitting Mountain Guest, the oppressive force of the Origin Will was constantly brewing.
"If you don't want me to talk, then I won't. But do you think you can keep suppressing me like this forever?"
"Hahaha, you really think I'd even look at you?"
The Sitting Mountain Guest laughed loudly. He suddenly felt that the deal he made with the Original Ancestor seemed quite worthwhile.
I'll just post one chapter today; my eyes are getting tired from looking at the screen for too long. I'll continue tomorrow.
