Repairs

Before leaving, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi put Zhang Xuezhou in charge of supervising the construction.

After Laojun left the Tushita Palace, he did not give such an order. Without Laojun's supervision, the demon kings and immortals in the Tushita Palace became lazy and their coordination was slower.

Zhang Xuezhou had previously mentioned that once the forging furnace in the Tushita Palace was activated, it could not be stopped. When the demon kings became slow in their work, the forging furnace began to accumulate residue, while the amount of molten iron was insufficient, eventually leading to a blockage.

"Oh no! Oh no! The stove is broken again!"

"Witnesses, it's not that we're incapable, it's that this furnace is faulty!"

After poking at the forging furnace with their poles for a while, the Golden Horned Demon King and the Silver Horned Demon King realized that they couldn't get the furnace back to normal.

The two were inefficient at their work, but adept at shirking responsibility.

Meanwhile, the nearby water god and wind god, who were casting spells, nodded repeatedly, directly agreeing with the two demon kings' explanation to avoid being implicated and suffering the consequences.

"Then it's settled!"

"Master, something terrible has happened! The stove is broken!"

The Golden Horned Demon King nodded in agreement, while the Silver Horned Demon King took out a bull horn.

After shouting into the bull's horn, his voice faded into the distance.

After shouting, he couldn't help but glance back and forth at everyone's faces, lest he give himself away during Laojun's inspection.

"Two fairies... fairies?"

When his gaze swept over Zhang Xuezhou and the new emperor, the Silver Horned Demon King couldn't help but shake his head vigorously.

Judging from their clothing and makeup, he thought Zhang Xuezhou and the others were female immortals, but judging from their facial features, he thought Zhang Xuezhou were male immortals.

"I am Shuo Xian from Yu Xu Palace. Where is Heavenly King Li?"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the furnace and the cooling molds in the Tushita Palace, and casually started a conversation to prove that he had no ill intentions.

"So it's Shuo Xian. The Heavenly King is supervising the Four Sea Dragon Kings' transport of deep-sea cold iron at the Eastern Heavenly Gate Secret Land, and he's busy right now!"

The Silver Horned Demon King wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

With the Jade Emperor of the Immortal Court no longer in charge, the status of the immortals in the Lingxiao Palace instantly dropped by two levels, and even Heavenly King Li was no exception. The current Immortal Court is now focused on the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables and other immortals.

For example, the water god and the wind god used to treat them politely, but now they have always taken their opinions as the main focus, and no one dares to voice their opinions.

The power of the Tushita Palace surged, and the same was true for the Jade Void Palace and the Biyou Palace.

When facing people of the same level, demon immortals are not as high-ranking as human immortals. Silver Horn Demon King never expected that a cultivator with higher power would come to the Tushita Palace.

"The Jade Void Palace has always been managed by the Antarctic Immortal. I don't know when the two of you entered the Jade Void Palace," the Golden Horned Demon King asked cautiously.

"That was half a year ago," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, then pointed to the new emperor and politely introduced, "This is Che Xian. We've just arrived here and are unfamiliar with everything, so we hope you two will take good care of us!"

"Sure, sure!"

The Silver Horned Demon King was somewhat apprehensive, while the Golden Horned Demon King was on guard.

When Zhang Xuezhou finally spoke up and paid his respects, the two demon kings were overjoyed and their previous emotions vanished.

"If you two encounter any difficulties, you can talk to us. Perhaps we can solve the problem without angering Laojun," the new emperor said.

"We don't understand this treasure furnace at all, how could we have imagined it would break after just a little use?" the Golden Horned Demon King sighed. "Our old master studied it for a long time and still couldn't figure it out, so we understand it even less!"

"The molten iron was poured in to form a chain, but now we can't pour it in anymore. These sections of the chain are even crooked; we really can't fix it!"

The Silver Horned Demon King poked and patted the forging furnace with his stick, only to find that his repair skills were of no use whatsoever.

"The molten iron is boiling in the furnace now. I dare not add ore, and Silverhorn dares not scoop out the molten iron. We can't keep the fire burning either. If we can't fix it, we can only wait for the old master to come back!"

The Golden Horned Demon King replied helplessly, then winked at Zhang Xuezhou several times.

"You must plead for us when our master whips us later!"

"This furnace is amazing!"

The emperor's eyelids twitched repeatedly.

Zhang Xuezhou was somewhat astonished when he first saw this semi-automated equipment; to the new emperor, it was an ingenious creation.

While mortal craftsmen are still refining their skills with each hammer blow, the forgings of the Immortal Court are already being produced in batches.

He had previously criticized the state of the Immortal Court, but now he was filled with fear of Immortal Court arts.

If it were not forged into iron chains but instead cast into swords, the swords forged in the Tushita Palace would be rare treasures, even surpassing the swords he wore.

The new emperor's sword was carefully selected and crafted by skilled artisans, while the treasures of the Tushita Palace could be mass-produced after adjustments. This situation weighed heavily on his mind.

Regardless of whether the immortals in the Immortal Court are capable or not, the skills here are truly impressive.

"It's broken, it's broken again?"

A white cloud stepped out from the distant Biyou Palace and landed in the Tushita Palace in the blink of an eye.

Before he could finish speaking, Laojun had already appeared at the entrance of the Tushita Palace.

Two more figures rushed over, one after the other. The familiar Celestial Venerable Yuanshi came with his whisk, while the other, Celestial Venerable Lingbao, was dressed in a black robe and had a sinister look on his face, as if he had just lost his temper.

"This damn stove! I was only gone for a short while, how come it's already broken? Were you two slacking off?!"

Laojun stepped into the hall, circled the forging furnace once, and then looked at the two demon kings doing hard labor.

"My lord, we have always worked diligently, and all the celestial officials can attest to that!"

"This treasure furnace is a bit unstable. Without the Grand Master's divine power to suppress it, it's broken again!"

The Golden Horned Demon King and the Silver Horned Demon King quickly knelt down and began to argue their case. The Water God and the Wind God echoed their words, and even Zhang Xuezhou nodded from time to time, without doing anything out of the ordinary.

"This treasure furnace is difficult to handle!"

Laojun pulled out his belt and lashed it at the two demon kings lying on the ground before turning to look at Celestial Venerable Yuanshi with a headache.

"If you can fix it yourself, then fix it yourself. If not, then ask the Haotian Emperor for help," said the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi helplessly.

"Haotian is no benevolent being. He can get rid of Zhu Jiuyin today, and he can kill us tomorrow. Don't forget that the Heavenly Court and we have been enemies for thousands of years. It's impossible for Haotian to suddenly forgive and forget." Celestial Venerable Lingbao said unhappily, "Perhaps this is Haotian's backup plan, making us have to beg him after doing half the work, thus falling into his trap step by step!"

The Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables of the Immortal Court are all different. The Celestial Venerable Lingbao is obviously more suspicious, and even now he has not been able to trust Donghua.

Zhang Xuezhou was about to give Celestial Venerable Lingbao a high five, but then he thought about how Celestial Venerable Lingbao suspected Donghua, who was undoubtedly the most troublesome of the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables. If Donghua couldn't get any benefits, Zhang Xuezhou would inevitably suffer the same fate. In fact, since he didn't have Donghua's status, the possibility of him being suspected by the other party was even higher.

"Let's fix it ourselves first!"

With a sweep of his whisk, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun overturned the module containing the solidified iron chain, flipping it over several times before finally removing the scalding hot chain. Celestial Venerable Lingbao then pulled out a short hammer and poked at the inlet and outlet of the forging furnace.

Laojun took a banana leaf fan and fanned it repeatedly at the flames molten gold and iron under the furnace, causing rainwater carrying cool air to quickly pour down.

In an instant, the sound of metal clanging and clashing filled the Tushita Palace, and water vapor rapidly Shengteng and spread. The rolling heat wave caused everyone to use various methods to resist the scorching heat, with their Law Power, Demon Power, and Qi and Blood flowing back and forth.

After the three celestial beings had been hammering and fiddling with it for a while, the forging furnace that had produced the finished product cooled and solidified into stubborn iron, and some additional parts were left on the ground.
