North of the Fire King's Capital, in a remote area, the ground craftsman brought Ning Chen over. Not long after, a humble courtyard appeared in front of the two of them.
The surroundings are very barren, with rocks, low-lying areas, canyons, everything, but no life.
Only today did Ning Chen know what a real place where birds don't shit.
He thought he was low-key enough, but he didn't expect that there was something more hidden than him.
"Li old man, an old friend has come to see you"
Before the small courtyard, the groundworker shouted, and Ning Chen's ears buzzed next to him.
"Old man, I'm not deaf yet, so don't be so loud"
In the voice, the wooden house door was pushed open with a creak, and an old man with a withered face appeared, sitting in a wheelchair, his right leg and left arm were empty, looking sad.
Ning Chen's eyes narrowed, what a powerful innate, this seemingly unremarkable old man is at least a strong innate third calamity or above.
"Oh? What a young baby"
The old man Li also noticed Ning Chen next to the ground craftsman, a congenital strong man who was less than twenty years old. This was really surprising.
"Meet the Seniors"
Ning Chen clasped his fists in a salute, surprised in his heart, to be able to cultivate above the third congenital calamity with such a serious disability, this persistence and determination is admirable.
However, Ning Chen still kept an eye on her, protecting her whole body with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, hiding her cultivation to prevent others from being suspected.
"Heh" Li old man gave a hoarse smile, then glanced at the ground craftsman next to him, and said, "Di old man, go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, tell me, what do you have to do with me?"
The ground craftsman's face was serious, and he said seriously, "I'm here to borrow Lihuo and use it."
The old man was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, "You got the green jade wood?"
The ground craftsman waved his hand, and a radiant green tree appeared, like jade but not jade, full of vitality, very amazing.
The old man's eyes narrowed, this is the legendary Qingyumu, and it really is extraordinary.
"How did you get it?" The old man looked at Ning Chen and asked. There is no doubt that this young man brought this green jade wood. This is a treasure of the Holy Land. The old man coveted it for a day or two. There is always no way to get it.
"Cheat"
Ning Chen said honestly, he knew very well that this matter would not be concealed for a few days, it would soon be exposed, and there was no need to lie.
"Very courageous"
The old man smiled, turned around the wheelchair, and said, "Follow me."
The three of them walked towards the northwest. Not long after, a huge ravine appeared in front of them, about ten feet wide and bottomless.
"Go down"
The old man waved his hand, and the three figures turned into streamers and disappeared into the ravine.
A powerful heat wave is coming, and the temperature will increase exponentially with every foot down.
Half an hour later, the three of them descended to the ground. In front of them, a huge high platform was surging with wild waves, blue flames surging, and the terrifying heat could be felt from far away.
A ray of light flashed in Ning Chen's eyes, is this Lihuo? It seems to be a flame born from the ground fire, which is really strange.
The name of the Lihuo Dynasty is famous because of this Lihuo, and the old man is here, and his identity is definitely different.
The ground craftsman stepped forward, waved the green jade wood into the fire, and borrowed a mark after another with both hands. Immediately, a black rune appeared on the right arm, like an armor, and quickly spread to the entire arm.
At this moment, the aura of the ground craftsman rose sharply, and it stopped until half a step into the innate realm.
Ning Chen squinted his eyes, it seems that he underestimated this craftsman a little bit, and being able to receive the name of a fief craftsman really has his own uniqueness.
"Old friend, it's your turn to take action." The ground craftsman glanced at the old man who was not far away, and said solemnly.
There was no nonsense from the old man, the only right hand was raised, and a powerful and unparalleled force surged out, and the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was pulled and submerged into the flames ahead.
In an instant, the color of Lihuo deepened rapidly, from blue to dark blue, and roared wildly.
The ground craftsman stared at the green jade wood in the flames, waiting for the moment of change.
Time passed by little by little, and in the midst of the fire, the green jade wood rose and fell, and turquoise veins began to appear, very faint, but so clear in the eyes of the three in front of them.
At this moment, in the hands of the ground craftsman, a giant ink-gold hammer flew over and slammed into the sapphire wood with a bang.
With a loud bang, the fire waves surged into the sky, and the sapphire wood trembled, and it began to spread along the veins, changing its shape slightly.
"Keng"
There was another loud noise, and the giant hammer in the hand of the ground craftsman slammed down again, and then, one after another, the ears were endless, shaking people's hearts.
Ning Chen stood by and watched without saying a word, waiting patiently.
I don't know how long it took, a small piece of green jade wood flew out of the fire and stuck on the stone wall next to it.
The ground craftsman did not care about it, and still focused on dancing the giant ink-gold hammer in his hand, forging the most difficult sword in his life.
The sunset and the moon rise, and then the moon sets and the sun rises, and day after day passes. In the midst of the fire, the sapphire wood pattern becomes clearer day by day, and the dark blue flame is surging. With the passage of time, the blue color has gradually receded. Turned into pitch black ink.
On the tenth day, above the clear sky for thousands of miles, dark clouds gathered, there was a click, thunder roared, and the rain poured down.
The heavy rain continued for a day and a night, and it didn't clear until noon the next day. The loud noise in the valley did not stop for a moment, and continued without sleep.
None of the three of them knew that outside the canyon, the whole world was in chaos. The news of the Holy Land messenger's accident finally came out. It was because Tian Jiang went to Heishihai to get green jade wood. Yu Yangtian immediately felt that something was wrong and understood himself. cheated.
Half a day later, in the Holy Land of Four Extremes, three innate powerhouses walked out, led by Yu Yangtian, trying their best to find the trace of Ning Chen.
As for the Black Stone Sea, there are other powerhouses from the Holy Land to guard it.
The messenger of the Holy Land disappeared, and Qingyumu was deceived. For the first time in thousands of years, the Holy Land has been provoked and insulted so much, especially Yuyangtian, the anger in his heart has been strong and difficult to suppress.
After the news came out, the world was in an uproar, and all the major factions were shocked by this person who dared to provoke the Holy Land, and it was hard to believe.
Jiuxiao Mountain became the first place that several powerhouses from the Holy Land visited, because the last place to appear before the Four Pole Saints disappeared was Jiuxiao Mountain.
However, after several days of investigation, Yu Yangtian did not find any useful clues. The holy envoy of the four extremes has an extraordinary cultivation base. If he is killed in Jiuxiao, he will definitely leave clues.
The only one who guessed the truth, Meng Xuanji, didn't say a word and watched the development of the matter.
No clues and evidence could be found, and Yuyangtian could not put the blame on Jiuxiao. After all, Jiuxiao is not an ordinary big faction. The five venerables are powerful, especially Meng Xuanji, who is the closest to the three disasters in the world. strong.
In the Lihuo Canyon, the process of calcining the sword has entered the nineteenth day, and the green jade wood is gradually taking shape in the black flame.
When the sword embryo first appeared, the ground craftsman glanced at Ning Chen and said, "It's your turn"
Ning Chen stepped forward, slashed his right hand with his sword finger, and a drop of blood fell onto the sword body, and immediately disappeared into the veins of the sword body.
The giant hammer in the hand of the ground craftsman continued to smash down, accompanied by splashes of blood, completing the final quenching of the sword.
Since noon, the moon has been shining brightly, and the sword that has been struck for nineteen days is finally about to take shape.
"boom"
At the moment when the last hammer fell, the body of the sword was full of blood, and a burst of sword intent slammed away, and the three closest people were immediately shaken back a few steps, and their blood was surging.
The situation in the valley changed in an instant, the earth trembled and shook with a rumble.
"Quick!" The ground craftsman's expression changed and hurriedly said.
Ning Chen immediately stepped forward, grabbed the sword body, and the realm of the second tribulation of the congenital erupted completely, forcibly suppressing the surging sword intent.
"Uh"
In the long painful groan, between the heavens and the earth, a blood swelled, and the sword that had just formed was forcibly sunk into Ning Chen's arm.
The sword merged with the body, and the unparalleled vitality burst out in the green jade wood, and Ning Chen's cultivation level suddenly rose sharply.
The body of the sword disappeared, and in Lihuo Valley, the changes in heaven and earth stopped, and calm was restored.
Not far away, the ground craftsman looked at the vanishing sword at Ning Chen's arm, a look of relief flashed in his tired eyes, his hard work was finally not in vain.
"Boy, I have already made the sword for you, but how far this sword can grow is up to you," the craftsman said.
"Thank you senior," Ning Chen respectfully bowed and said.
"Okay, I'm tired of listening to you."
The ground carpenter waved his hand impatiently, then turned around to look at his old friend, and said, "Li old man, you've worked hard these days."
The old man smiled and said, "Hands up"
After finishing speaking, the old man looked at Ning Chen and said, "Have you thought about the name of the sword?"
"Knowing Fate"
Ning Chen gently spit out two words and replied.
The ground craftsman and the old man read it again in their hearts, but they didn't feel much about this strange name.
The three simply rested for an hour, then left the canyon, and the old man continued to return to his small courtyard, while the ground craftsman and Ning Chen rushed towards Qingli City.
After half a day, the two returned to Qingli City. After Ning Chen heard the wind, he immediately understood what was going on.
The disappearance of the Four-Pole Saint Envoy came to light.
In the ground craftsman's mansion, the little boy looked at Ning Chen next to him, and whispered what happened these days.
After listening to the little disciple's words, the ground craftsman glanced strangely at Ning Chen, who was sitting there drinking tea calmly like no one else. He really didn't expect that this kid would cause so many troubles.
"Boy, you never thought about whether I would sell you to the Holy Land," the ground carpenter said.
"Senior Earth Craftsman is not such a person. Besides, senior doesn't seem to have much affection for the Holy Land." Ning Chen chuckled and said, he is not stupid, if it were Tian Craftsman's Mansion, he would never sit down and drink so quietly Tea.
"Smart boy," said the craftsman.
"It's easy to say," Ning Chen happily accepted and said. The little boy pouted, two cheeky old foxes.
