Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1555: Rumor and Plan

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

In Heavenly City, there was a craftsman named River Portrait Immortal Emperor. He was a craftsman skilled in many aspects.

His main rise to fame was through weapon forging as his talent for forging was extraordinarily high, a true grandmaster. Many buildings in Heavenly City were built by him. Not only so, some major powers within the Lifire Palace’s territory would also invite him for his forging service.

However, the River Portrait Immortal Emperor concentrated fully on his cultivation or in his forging research, he wasn’t subservient to any major powers or attached himself to any. In the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, the status of forgers was extremely high, they were able to easily procure a large amount of cultivation resources. Many unaffiliated cultivators also wanted to walk this path, when their cultivation base reached a bottleneck, they would spend time on researching the forging path. They might even need to waste many years to gain a basic understanding of this path.

However, things were the same as cultivation. Talent was necessary and in addition, there were some who specially condensed specific astral souls just for this. They planned to walk this path since they were very young.

At this moment, in the River Portrait Immortal Emperor’s manor, Qin Wentian was quietly staring at him sculpting an emperor stone. Divine weapons created like that were usually extremely weak. However, scattered around the feet of the River Portrait Immortal Emperor, numerous sculptures could be seen littering the ground. This was merely one of the methods for him to practice daily.

As for Qin Wentian, he was now sitting beside the immortal emperor as he observed quietly.

“Don’t look at these simple-looking sculptures. To the vast majority of people, they wouldn’t even be able to do such a simple thing. Cultivation cannot allow one to reach the end of the path in one step. Forging is the same as well. An example is language and words. If you can’t even pronounce a word well, how can you arrange words properly together into a coherent sentence?” The age of the River Portrait Immortal Emperor was very great. His hair was completely white but he seemed to be in very high spirits. This was especially so when he was sculpting. His eyes shone like torches, glowing with bright light.

“Just come over as much as you want. It’s very rare for people to have your cultivation base and talent in forging. Hence, I taught you many things. Even if you eventually choose not to forge weapons, it would still be of some help to your cultivation.” The River Portrait Immortal Emperor took out a large piece of emperor stone and tossed it to Qin Wentian. “Try to sculpt it into the shape of a sword.”

“Right.” Qin Wentian smiled as he nodded. A dagger formed of law energy appeared in his hand as he started to sculpt away. The emperor stone was exceedingly tough and Qin Wentian’s sculpting speed was very slow. Even so, he took this seriously. Such a cultivation method might be said to be a waste of resources. Only the truly rich or those who forge weapons for a living, could afford to do this.

Gradually, the emperor stone was sculpted into shape. Numerous clear rune-like lines were engraved on the stone as a startling amount of sword intent radiated from it. It was merely a weapon sculpted from an emperor stone yet it seemed capable of unleashing a sword law domain.

“You are truly extremely talented. If you are willing to devote your effort to this, your future accomplishments would surely be much higher than mine.” The River Portrait Immortal Emperor smiled at Qin Wentian.

“Senior praises me too much. It’s just that junior has done some research on formations and knows a little about runes and divine inscriptions. Hence, I find it easier than others but I would still need much more guidance.” Qin Wentian humbly replied.

“Have you already finishing reading those ancient manuals on forging I passed to you earlier?”

“Mhm, I’ve finished them.” Qin Wentian nodded. He took out a few jade slips and passed them to the River Portrait Immortal Emperor.

“Luo`er. Go and take more jade slips over.” The River Portrait Immortal Emperor spoke

After a few moments, a young and innocent-looking woman dressed in white walked over here and passed some jade slips to Qin Wentian. She smiled, “Grandpa has never treated any one so good before.”
