"As expected, heavenly punishment will fall when Divine Artifact are refined! If it wasn't for the Azure Moon Flame protecting my soul, my soul would have probably dispersed long ago. I never thought that I would be reborn from a young man with the same surname. "

Ye Chen was originally the most legendary genius refiner of the Cultivation Realm. At the age of only twenty-seven, he had already become a master refiner of Heavenly Fire Level.

However, he did not expect that when he was advancing to a Divine Fire level Master Refiner, the lightning tribulation would come about because he was refining Divine Artifact. His body turned into ashes on the spot and his soul was protected by the Azure Moon Flame, being reborn in this young man's body.

Today was the day of the Ye Family Family's Artifact Forging Competition. This body's original owner had destroyed his furnace in the process of refining, causing his soul to shatter.

"Trash is trash. He can't even be considered an apprentice refiner and he still has to participate in the Refining Competition. If he doesn't die from the explosion, then he is dead!"

"Not just anyone can show off in refining. Why did the Patriarch give birth to such a good-for-nothing son? He has completely lost face for the Patriarch!"

Ye Chen had yet to recover his senses, but the surroundings immediately became noisy, the naked words were full of ridicule, he did not care about the Patriarch's face at all.

"Ye Luo, high grade spirit artifact."

A voice pulled Ye Chen's thoughts back to reality, when he looked out, he saw a young man dressed in white with torch-like eyes, looking handsome and extraordinary, with a gentle, refined demeanour, and a noble demeanor. The young man's name was Ye Luo, he was the strongest person among the younger generation of Ye Family.

On the viewing platform, the disciples of the Ye Family looked at Ye Luo with incomparably respectful gazes, completely opposite to the gazes they used to look at Ye Chen.

A bell chime sounded, and an old man announced that there was only half an incense worth of time left in the Refining Competition. Many people had already started to congratulate Ye Luo, and from their point of view, this year's champion would be none other than Ye Luo.

Ye Chen's face was expressionless as he once again chose a set of materials. This action caught the attention of many people, since even the crafting furnace had been destroyed, how could he continue crafting?

Ye Chen's mouth curved, in the midst of everyone's cry of alarm, a green flame shot out from the tip of his right hand like a fire snake, enveloping the smithing materials. The green flames did not seem to have any temperature, but the moment the green flames touched the smithing materials, they emitted waves of white mist and vapors, and the impurities within instantly evaporated, and then, the metal liquid slowly floated up, the speed at which the impurities were smelted was too shocking!

"Spiritual Fire of Heaven And Earth!"

The elders sitting on the elders' seats were also staring wide-eyed, looking at the Azure Moon Flame on Ye Chen's fingertips, even throwing the matter of the appraisal to the side.

Ye Chen was not affected by the outside world, his soul power carefully controlled the Azure Moon Flame s to smelt the smithing materials, and quickly struck the artifact embryo into the air. The surrounding spirit energy surged, forming into bursts of a spirit storm, all of the spirit energy merged into the smithing materials.

Everyone could no longer remain calm as they stared at Ye Chen, dumbstruck. Whether it was the Spiritual Fire of Heaven And Earth or this speed of refining, both of them were incomparably shocked.

They had never dreamt that in merely half an incense's time, Ye Chen had actually succeeded in refining a spirit sword in front of everyone's eyes. What was most astounding was the speed at which Ye Chen refined the spirit sword and the Spiritual Fire of Heaven And Earth that he possessed.

"Elders, please appraise this."

Ye Chen calmly placed the cyan sword in front of the clan elders, and glanced at Ye Luo provocatively from time to time.

The elders were still immersed in the refining process of Ye Chen, and only after hearing his voice did they come back to their senses, their faces showing shocked expressions. They did not expect that Ye Chen actually had a Spiritual Fire of Heaven And Earth, and they had never heard of such a refining speed, furthermore, they benefited greatly from watching Ye Chen's refining process.

An elder quickly picked up the cyan colored long sword on the table and examined it closely. The cyan colored sword was extremely ordinary. The sword's surface was covered with a dense pattern that exuded a sharp, cold light.

After a while, they handed it over to the other elders, but their expressions were practically the same, and in the end, the cyan sword landed in the Great Clan Elder's hands. The surrounding disciples of Ye Family held their breath, and stared fixedly at the sword that Ye Chen had refined, they had never seen their elders appraise a spirit artifact for such a long time.

"It's not a spirit artifact!" The Great Clan Elder looked at Ye Chen and shook his head, a complex expression on his face.

"Trash is still trash after all. Even a Spirit Treasure …" Many of the Ye Family disciples sneered.

"Shut up!" But before he could finish speaking, the Great Clan Elder suddenly turned his head, his sharp gaze sweeping across the crowd, and said angrily: "If Ye Chen is trash, then you guys are even worse than trash! Have you ever seen a piece of trash capable of refining Profound Artifact? "

The disciples of Ye Family all sucked in a mouthful of cold air, looking at Ye Chen in disbelief. Their faces were flushed red as if they had been slapped in the face, and the feeling was scorching.

The Profound Artifact was someone who completely surpassed the level of Spirit Treasures. There were only two Profound Artifact master artificers in the entire Ye Family, and the Great Elder was one of them!

The scene exploded like boiling water, only after a long time did the surrounding Ye Family people regain their senses, all of their gazes were focused on Ye Chen, they never thought that Ye Chen was actually a hidden genius artificer!

"Profound Artifact?"

Ye Chen's eyes flashed slightly. After fusing with two memories, Ye Chen also understood that this world was separated into five levels, from bottom to top: Spirit Artifact, Profound Artifact, Treasure Artifact, Holy-ranked Artifact and Divine Artifact. Each level was also divided into four levels: Low, Middle, High and Extreme.

However, in this world, there was not one or two levels of difference compared to the vast and profound forging methods used in Cultivation Realm.

Ye Family's refining technique "Eighteen Waves Breaking Hands" was extremely famous, and the spirit artifact refined was also second to none. Ye Family also relied on this to establish one's Cloud Dream City for hundreds of years, but it was nothing in front of the Heavenly Fire Level crafting master Ye Chen.

"Silence!" After a long while, the Great Clan Elder roared and the entire place suddenly quieted down. The other people's eyes that were looking at Ye Chen also lit up.

"Sure enough, you have surpassed Blue in youth, and from today onwards, there will be another Profound Artifact Master added to the Ye Family. The Ye Family Refining Pavilion will be open to you at any time." The Great Clan Elder patted Ye Chen's shoulder, and laughed in satisfaction.

Everyone present looked at Ye Chen with envy. One must know that only Refining Elders had the qualifications to enter the Treasure Refining Pavilion, and only two Profound Artifact master refiners of the clan could enter the important areas of the Treasure Refining Pavilion. For a junior like Ye Chen, this was an absolute huge amount of vanity.

"Thank you, Grand Elder." Ye Chen slightly bowed.

Immediately after, the Great Clan Elder announced the conclusion of the Refining Competition. This year's champion was obviously Ye Chen, but compared to the previous Heavenly Fire Level refining master Ye Chen, it was nothing, and that lanky figure left under the crowd's gaze.
