The bottleneck that troubled Jiu Jian in the nascent soul stage had been loosened. He was only one opportunity away from breaking through the current stage to enter the legendary deity transformation stage.

What made him even more excited was that he had comprehended two martial techniques that were comparable to the low-level earth rank.

With these two moves, he was confident that he could contend with the Soul Hunting Sect. However, the Heavenly Mountain Gate had lent the mountain-splitting ax to the Soul Hunting Sect.

After tempering the sword, Su Yang was only one step away from completing the sword. He skillfully completed the final step to reveal a new sword.

However, after Su Yang sharpened the sword, Jiu Jian suddenly felt a huge crisis coming. It was as if a world-ending attack was falling from above his head.

Jiu Jian raised his head subconsciously. He was shocked to find that the clouds in the sky started to condense and gradually turned black. This discovery gave him a shock.

In an instant, Jiu Jian thought of a theory. It was said that when a divine weapon was born, the heavenly dao would send down divine thunder. If it could pass the baptism of the divine thunder, then this divine weapon would be filled with the aura of the heavenly dao. Then, it would become a real divine weapon. This was the difference between a divine weapon and a holy weapon.

Thinking of this, Jiu Jian could not remain calm anymore. What kind of strength did this senior have that he could casually forge a divine artifact?

One had to know that the forging of a divine artifact required very strict conditions. Apart from the materials used to forge the artifact, the craftsmanship of the forger and cultivation had strict requirements.

Looking at the black clouds that were gradually condensing in the sky, Jiu Jian felt his heart skip a beat. When the divine weapon was born, the divine lightning could easily turn nascent soul or even incarnation stage experts into ashes.

If the divine lightning really came down, could he withstand it with his cultivation level? In an instant, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

On the contrary, Su Yang had a calm expression. There was also a trace of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this scene, the old man could not help but admire him in his heart. ‘As expected of a senior. He didn’t panic even in the face of the heavenly dao divine might.’

After the forging was completed, Su Yang originally wanted to put the sword away. At this moment, he felt that his throat was a little uncomfortable. That was the reason why he choked on the smoke while forging.

“Cough, cough…” Su Yang could not help but cough twice. After he finished coughing, the dark clouds that were gathering in the sky had dispersed.

The sense of crisis in Jiu Jian’s heart also disappeared. Seeing this scene, he immediately felt his state of mind explode.

‘This… This… This… Senior only coughed lightly, and he was able to make the divine lightning formed by the heavenly dao retreat! What kind of cultivation is Senior…?’

After forging, Su Yang looked at the two of them and said, “Thank you for your help. It’s also lunchtime. Why don’t you stay for a meal?”

Hearing this, Jiu Jian hurriedly said, “Mr. Su, you must be joking. I thank you for letting me witness such a magnificent forging process. I even witnessed the birth of a peerless divine artifact with my own eyes.”

Su Yang chuckled. He thought that this old man was really talkative. Although it was a little exaggerated, it was indeed enjoyable to listen to him.

“The two of you, please go to the front hall as guests. I’ll go over after tidying up,” Su Yang said to the two of them.

How could Jiu Jian let Su Yang work alone? He quickly went forward to help Su Yang.

He found that there was a hammer lying on the ground. He was about to go up and put it away. Just as he walked to the side of the hammer, a huge aura suddenly surged out of the hammer’s body.

Sensing danger, Jiu Jian hurriedly activated the spirit energy in his body to defend himself. However, his defense was nearly broken by the aura emitted by the hammer. He realized that this ordinary black hammer was actually a holy weapon. His eyes could not help but widen.

“As expected of a senior. Even when forging a sword, he uses such a high-grade weapon. If this hammer were to be placed in our Heavenly Sword Sect, it would be a huge treasure.”

With this thought in mind, Jiu Jian wanted to put this holy weapon away for Su Yang. However, he discovered that this hammer was repelling him. Even if he used all his strength, he was still unable to get close to the hammer.

“Cough, cough…” Su Yang coughed twice again. He pinched his throat and muttered to himself in a low voice, “What’s wrong with his throat that it hasn’t recovered?”

Just as Su Yang finished coughing, the hammer calmed down. This time, Jiu Jian could pick up the hammer as he wished. The feeling of the hammer shaking in his hand also made him extremely fascinated.

He could not help but blurted out, “What a good hammer.”

Su Yang, who happened to pass by, heard this and added, “It’s just a broken hammer. There’s nothing good about it.”

As he spoke, he threw the broken sword that had been with him for many years beside the hammer. He continued, “These two were forged together. It’s been quite a long time. When the time comes, let’s see if there are any scrap collectors. Let’s sell them all.”

Hearing this, Jiu Jian was immediately shocked. ‘Was Senior crazy? He wants to sell the two holy weapons as scrap iron?’

Only Senior could think of such a bold idea! Although the hammer was good, what made him value it even more was that ancient sword. This was truly a genuine holy sword. As the patriarch of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the best sword he used was only an immortal sword.

“Senior is truly too modest. How could this hammer and sword not be useful?” Jiu Jian could not help but sigh. “If only I had such a sword.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yang did not sigh in surprise. What? Could it be that all immortal cultivators were so poor? A broken sword and a broken hammer were good things?

‘Sigh!’ Su Yang could not help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that he still did not know enough about the world of immortal cultivators.

After wrapping up the things in the backyard, Su Yang prepared three dishes and a soup for them. There was also a pot of wine that he personally brewed.

When Jiu Jian looked at the delicacies and wine on the table, he suddenly remembered what his disciple had said. The food and wine that Senior had prepared were all heavenly treasures. Every mouthful was incomparably precious. Jiu Jian was somewhat eager to try.

His disciple had eaten Senior’s food and drank Senior’s wine. Not only had he broken through in cultivation but even his spirit root had also evolved.

Would there be any changes after he drank it? Jiu Jian was looking forward to it. However, he did not dare to eat now. What if he angered the senior?

Su Yang looked at the three of them sitting motionlessly on the table. He smiled and said, “There’s no need to be courteous. Eat quickly.”

Only after receiving Su Yang’s order did the three of them dare to eat. When the first chopstick entered their mouths, their eyes could not help but light up.
