Chapter 3465: Tianzhu Mansion’s No. 1 Prodigy

The breakthrough in weapon cultivation

was merely a minor incident for Shen Changqing.

Afterward,

he offered some guidance to Gongsun Yang.

For a seventh-rank mid-grade weapon refining Grandmaster, guiding a sixth-rank mid-grade Grandmaster was a piece of cake.

Seeing Gongsun Yang’s enlightenment, Shen Changqing didn’t interrupt him. He simply left Xuantian Dao Sect and headed for Tianzhu Mansion.

Over the past two hundred thousand years,

Shen Changqing had visited Tianzhu Mansion more than once.

Each time,

he visited the Divine Weapon Hall to comprehend the Grandmaster’s legacy.

It was precisely because of the nourishment provided by the Divine Weapon Hall’s numerous legacy that Shen Changqing’s breakthrough was so swift.

This time,

he had completely absorbed all the knowledge accumulated over the previous two hundred thousand years.   Now

, Shen Changqing was bound for the Divine Weapon Hall to continue comprehending its legacy, preparing for his own breakthrough to the seventh-rank upper-grade realm.

Tianzhu Mansion had already learned of Shen Changqing’s arrival, and   no one in the mansion tried to stop him.   Because Shen Changqing had frequented the Tianzhu Mansion for two hundred thousand years, he was well-known to everyone there.   Furthermore, with Bai Lianchuan’s orders in place, Shen Changqing’s experience at the Tianzhu Mansion was virtually identical to that of the Xuantian Dao Sect.   Upon entering the Divine Weapon Hall,   Shen Changqing continued to comprehend its inheritance. The knowledge he had gained   over those two hundred thousand years   was a drop in the bucket for the entire Divine Weapon Hall.   Now, Shen Changqing felt more and more deeply the unfathomable depths of the Tianzhu Mansion’s heritage.   Speaking   of weapon casting alone, the depths of this faction were truly unmatched by ordinary factions.   Shen Changqing quickly focused his divine consciousness on the inheritance of a Grandmaster, and a surge of divine energy emerged.   This inheritance   was the seventh-rank Grandmaster’s inheritance he had comprehended last time.   The difference was that,   while many parts of Shen Changqing’s previous comprehendment had been obscure and difficult to grasp, this time, many previously obscure points suddenly became clear.   This was because he had now ascended to the rank of Seventh-Rank Intermediate Grandmaster, and his understanding of weapon forging had deepened considerably, incomparable to before.   Therefore,   comprehending the same inheritance   , different perspectives naturally led to different understandings.   This time, his enlightenment   took ten thousand years.   By the time Shen Changqing emerged from the Divine Weapon Hall again, it would have been ten thousand years.   His exit from the Divine Weapon Hall wasn’t due to any other matter; it was simply because his ten thousand years of contemplation had saturated his understanding of the inheritance.   In this situation, Shen Changqing needed to digest it thoroughly and apply all of this understanding to his own benefit.   Otherwise,   continuing to comprehend would be like biting off more than he could chew.   As soon as he emerged from the Divine Weapon Hall, he saw an elder from the Tianzhu Mansion waiting there.   Shen Changqing was very familiar with this elder.   ”Elder Feng, you’re waiting here, but what’s the important matter?”   ”The Palace Master has something he’d like to ask Sect Master Shen to come over, but because Sect Master Shen is in seclusion in the Divine Weapon Hall, he dared not disturb him, and therefore asked me to wait here!”   Bai Lianfeng said with a calm smile.   Shen Changqing gave him a deep look. “I’m afraid Elder Feng has waited a long time, hasn’t he?”   ”Thousands of years are but a blink of an eye for us; it’s nothing.”   With these casual words, Bai Lianfeng brushed off the millennia of waiting. Upon   hearing this   , Shen Changqing understood that Bai Lianchuan’s request for him this time was likely serious.   Otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept someone waiting here for thousands of years.   Then,   Shen Changqing and Bai Lianfeng departed together.   Inside the Immortal Hall of the Tianzhu Palace,   Bai Lianchuan was already waiting.   ”Sect Master Shen!”   ”Palace Master Bai Lian!”   Shen Changqing bowed slightly.   Bai Lianchuan smiled and said, “I heard that Sect Master Shen reached the level of a 7th-rank, mid-grade Grandmaster ten thousand years ago. Now that he’s emerged from the Divine Weapon Hall, I imagine it won’t be long before he reaches the 7th-rank, upper-grade!   Such talent truly opens my eyes!”   Bai Lianchuan sighed with emotion, his gaze towards Shen Changqing blazing with passion.   Two hundred thousand years.   From the 7th-rank, lower-grade to the 7th-rank, mid-grade.   Such aptitude is simply that of an innate divine weapon-refining body.   At that moment,   Bai Lianchuan couldn’t help but feel a surge of regret.   What a pity.   The other party wasn’t from the Tianzhu Mansion.   Otherwise, the Tianzhu Mansion would have had a successor.   With such aptitude and talent, whether in cultivation or weapon refining, his future would be limitless.   If this person were from the Tianzhu Mansion, Bai Lianchuan would absolutely devote all his resources to their cultivation, sparing no expense to help them grow.   Speaking of which,   he was also a little jealous of the Xuantian Dao Sect.   A small, mid-level Immortal Realm sect could boast such good fortune.   If only the Tianzhu Mansion had the same, it wouldn’t have been forced to leave the Illusionary Realm.   Numerous thoughts flashed through Bai Lianchuan’s mind.   He knew, even if it were just an if, the facts couldn’t be changed.   Shen Changqing had no idea of Bai Lianchuan’s thoughts.   He simply smiled indifferently upon hearing what he said.   ”My breakthrough is thanks to your family’s inheritance. The senior who created the True Meaning Weapon Forging Method is truly incredible.   It’s a shame they didn’t achieve immortality; otherwise, the Tianzhu Mansion would surely be the overlord of the top Immortal Realm today!”   Shen Changqing said this without a trace of joking.   The power of the True Meaning Weapon Forging Method revealed a great deal.

How could a powerful being capable of creating such a magical power be simple?

Furthermore,

the opponent was already an eighth-rank, sixth-grade Grandmaster.

If he could break through to the semi-saint realm and aspire to immortality, then given his background, could he have already broken through the eighth-rank limit and entered the ninth-rank?

Although Shen Changqing was unsure, the possibility existed.

A powerful being of this caliber

should not be underestimated.

But alas,

that person had long since fallen.

All assumptions were invalid.

Bai Lianchuan shook his head. “Tianzhu Mansion has many Grandmasters who have comprehended the True Meaning Weapon Forging Technique, but only a handful can truly master this magical power. The fact that

Master Shen was able to comprehend the True Meaning Weapon Forging Technique and advance to the seventh-rank, mid-grade, in such a short period of time demonstrates that you have cultivated this magical power to a profound level.

Otherwise, you would never have achieved such a level.”

Shen Changqing had become accustomed to such familiar words.

Whenever the True Meaning Weapon Forging Technique was discussed, the Master of Tianzhu Mansion always spoke in this way.

However.

Shen Changqing could understand Bai Lianchuan’s sentiments. Tianzhu

Mansion possessed a top-tier inheritance, yet few could truly grasp its profound depths. It was an outsider who grasped it so thoroughly, which inevitably caused him to feel a certain unease.

It wasn’t an imbalance,

but to say he didn’t care at all was out of the question.

Therefore, Shen Changqing had no intention of responding to Bai Lianchuan’s words, instead changing the subject.

“From what Elder Feng said, the Lord of Bai Lian Mansion sought me out to discuss something important?” At the

mention of business ,

Bai Lianchuan’s expression grew unusually serious, his intention to discuss the True Meaning Weapon Forging Technique gone.

“The Semi-Saint beast corpse that Sect Master Shen gave to Tianzhu Mansion last time has, after years of contemplation within the Tianzhu Mansion, yielded some clues.

But I wonder what Sect Master Shen’s requirements are for the treasures he refines next.

Will it be primarily defensive, or offensive?”   Shen Changqing’s expression grew more serious as

he spoke these words .   ”When I first saw this beast, its mouth could swallow galaxies, its divine might boundless. In my opinion, such a beast is best suited for refining offensive treasures.   Refining it for defensive treasures would be a waste!”   The material determines the type of treasure.   If this semi-saint beast were a Chaos beast like the Black Turtle, then it goes without saying that refining it for defensive treasures would be the best choice.   After all, the Black Turtle is naturally formidable in defense, and refining a treasure with the same properties would maximize its potential.   However,   the reverse is also true.   Some materials are destined to refine treasures that only have a specific purpose. If the opposite is true, while the refining will not fail, the power will be greatly reduced.   This is common sense for a Grandmaster Refiner.   Therefore,   Shen Changqing naturally understood.   Bai Lianchuan nodded. “Sect Master Shen agrees with us. This semi-saint-level Chaos Beast, with its monstrous power, is the perfect material for refining an offensive weapon.   Since Sect Master Shen has made his decision, let’s discuss the details and then begin refining!”   ”There’s no need to rush this matter—”   Shen Changqing shook his head, his words leaving Bai Lianchuan slightly stunned.   ”What does Sect Master Shen mean?”   ”I want the Tianzhu Mansion to postpone the refining process for about a million years, because I’d like to participate in the process!”   Shen Changqing stated his thoughts.   Bai Lianchuan instinctively refused. “To participate in the refining, one must be at least a top-tier Seventh-Rank Grandmaster. If one’s cultivation level is insufficient, the risk of failure increases…”   ”I understand this.”   ”Since Sect Master Shen understands, then…”   Bai Lianchuan began to speak, then fell silent. The look he gave Shen Changqing was now filled with a hint of disbelief.   ”Could it be… Sect Master Shen is confident that he can break through to the peak of the seventh rank within a million years!?” As   soon as these words came out,   not only was Bai Lianchuan shocked, but Bai Lianfeng beside him was also filled with horror.   As a top seventh-rank Grandmaster, how could Bai Lianfeng not know how difficult it was to break through to this level?   Even he himself, when he was young, was hailed as the contemporary number one prodigy of the Tianzhu Mansion and had an outstanding talent in weapon casting, but it took him several ancient immortal eras to barely reach the peak of the seventh rank.   But now,   Shen Changqing was confident that he could break through to this level within a million years.   Such words,   how could Bai Lianfeng not be shocked.   If these words came from anyone else, he would just think that the other person was crazy.   But when these words came from Shen Changqing’s mouth, Bai Lianfeng had to believe it.   But –   precisely because he believed it,   he was shocked.
