Chapter 287: The Incomparably Shocked Immortal Emperor Wanqi

A month passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, Immortal Emperor Wanqi spent his time drinking, while Wu Zhene buried himself in studying forging knowledge, his own Rank as a Forging Master improving rapidly.

Within this month, Wu Zhene had no questions for Immortal Emperor Wanqi, and the Immortal Emperor quite enjoyed it; not being bothered was naturally for the best.

However, after one month, Wu Zhene knocked on Immortal Emperor Wanqi's door.

Opening the door, Immortal Emperor Wanqi let out a yawn and asked impatiently,

"What is it? Didn't I tell you to come consult me only when you encounter something you don't understand? Did you run into trouble so soon?"

"No, Master, it's just that the Materials you gave me can no longer satisfy my needs."

Wu Zhene said truthfully.

Hearing this, Immortal Emperor Wanqi said impatiently,

"If it can't satisfy you, then… wait, what? What do you mean by that?"

As he spoke, Immortal Emperor Wanqi seemed to recall something. His expression became extremely grave, and an incomparably absurd thought arose in his heart, though he still found it hard to believe.

Wu Zhene repeated himself.

"Master, I mean that the Materials you gave me can no longer satisfy my needs."

"How is that possible? The Materials I gave you were enough to support the forging of a Rank Two Immortal Artifact."

Immortal Emperor Wanqi's tone was filled with disbelief. One had to know that he himself had spent approximately ten thousand years to become a Rank Two Immortal Forging Master, yet Wu Zhene had achieved this goal in just a short month?

Although Wu Zhene was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, it shouldn't be this fast.

"Have you had prior contact with the path of forging?"

Immortal Emperor Wanqi asked suspiciously, but Wu Zhene replied with an innocent look.

"I have not, Master. Previously, I didn't even know how to forge ordinary Spiritual Artifacts; I only learned how to forge one month ago."

"Hiss… Then where are your finished products? Let me take a look."

Immortal Emperor Wanqi couldn't help but gasp, hurriedly reaching out his hand to ask.

If Wu Zhene had truly started from scratch and become a Rank Two Immortal Forging Master in just a short month, then he was simply too much of a Prodigy; even a Saint from the Chaos Holy Land couldn't cheat to this extent.

Immortal Emperor Wanqi had originally thought that the quality of the Immortal Artifacts Wu Zhene forged probably wouldn't be very good, but after seeing those Immortal Weapons—which were indeed Rank Two Immortal Weapons but looked no different from Rank Three Immortal Weapons—he fell into silence.

He had encountered a cheater.

"Phew, your talent is the most powerful I have ever seen in history. If there are no accidents, your achievements will definitely surpass mine, and becoming an Immortal Grade Nine Forging Master is only a matter of time."

As he reached the end, Immortal Emperor Wanqi's tone couldn't help but become excited. If he could nurture Wu Zhene into an Immortal Grade Nine Forging Master, he would have no regrets even in death.

Previously, he was the Forging Master with the most powerful talent in the entire Upper Realm, having spent ten million years to become an Immortal Grade Eight Forging Master. The second most powerful had taken a billion years, which simply couldn't compare to him.

Now, the appearance of Wu Zhene would likely break his record, bringing it within one million years. This made Immortal Emperor Wanqi's heart surge with excitement, and he quickly looked at Wu Zhene with a serious expression and spoke.

"From today onwards, I will personally guide your forging cultivation. First, demonstrate your forging in front of me."

Originally, after his Dao Companion fell, Immortal Emperor Wanqi had lost his goal to keep striving. His previous goal had been to raise his Dao Companion to the Immortal Grade Nine Rank, or even higher.

But with the fall of his Dao Companion, his goal had vanished along with her.

But now, the appearance of Wu Zhene had given him a new goal: to nurture Wu Zhene into an Immortal Grade Nine Forging Master, or even higher!

Seeing the look of renewed spirit on Immortal Emperor Wanqi's face, Wu Zhene felt a wave of satisfaction. The most important thing next was to find a way to get Immortal Emperor Wanqi to come out of seclusion and re-establish the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhene looked at Immortal Emperor Wanqi and said in an incomparably serious tone.

"Master, I would like to ask you to agree to one thing."

"Oh, what is it?"

At this moment, Immortal Emperor Wanqi, who was still stunned by Wu Zhene's talent, asked curiously.

Wu Zhene said without hesitation.

"I would like to ask Master to come out of seclusion in a hundred years and re-establish the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect."

But as Wu Zhene's words fell, Immortal Emperor Wanqi couldn't help but be stunned; he hadn't heard that name for a long time.

However, he ultimately did not agree, but he did not refuse either.

"We'll see. I currently have no thoughts of re-establishing the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect. Let's focus on raising your Forging Master Rank first."

Hearing this, Wu Zhene fell silent. After a long while, he looked up and said seriously.

"If that is the case, then I would like to make a pact with Master."

"What pact?"

Immortal Emperor Wanqi couldn't help but become somewhat interested.

"It is that on the day I become an Immortal Grade Nine Forging Master, Master will come out of seclusion and re-establish the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect."

Wu Zhene spoke, his tone filled with confidence. He did not doubt in the slightest whether his talent could make him an Immortal Grade Nine Forging Master; this was the confidence of a Genius.

Upon hearing Wu Zhene's words, a look of interest appeared on Immortal Emperor Wanqi's face.

"Interesting. In that case, I will make this pact with you. On the day you become an Immortal Grade Nine Forging Master, I will personally come out of seclusion and re-establish the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect."

Immortal Emperor Wanqi couldn't help but say with a smile. He had no doubts whatsoever about Wu Zhene's talent in forging, but a powerful Forging Master also required cultivation base support to forge.

Therefore, to become an Immortal Grade Nine Forging Master, Wu Zhene's cultivation base would need to reach at least the Immortal Emperor level.

From Jun Xiaoyao, Immortal Emperor Wanqi had learned just how terrifying Wu Zhene's talent was—a Grand Unity Golden Immortal Initial Stage under a thousand years old—but to become an Immortal Emperor, it would take at least a million years.

By that time, perhaps he would have resolved his inner knot, and re-establishing a Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect then, what would it matter?

But Immortal Emperor Wanqi had ultimately underestimated Wu Zhene's talent. Perhaps very soon, he would be able to see just how much of a Prodigy Wu Zhene truly was.
