Finally, the Wolf Butcher Inferno began to weaken, while the Sun Searing Inferno continued its aggressive attacks. Soon, this attack turned into a devouring one, and the Sun Searing Inferno's ferociousness grew. It suddenly burst into flames and bit down, swallowing the Wolf Butcher Inferno.
In the next second, the Sun Splitting Flame began to undergo a strange transformation. A dim flame emerged with two different colours, navy blue and fiery red. From the middle, it split into two; one side was yin cold, the other side was ferocious!
* Whoosh ~ *
All the lights in the secret room lit up at the same time. The warrior who had subdued the Wolf Butcher Inferno and the Sun Searing Inferno raised his head proudly. One could see that he had a very ugly face, with an unshaven beard and big yellow front teeth sticking out.
If one looked closely, they would be able to distinguish that his appearance actually had the characteristics of the White Horse Constellation's Xiang Yue Clan. For example, his eyes were sinister and cunning, almost exactly the same as Xiang Yue's number one expert, Xiang Jincheng!
Striding forward, the warrior quickly made his way to the command deck of the warship and sat in the spacious commander's chair. He picked up a photo beside him, and the person in the photo was none other than Xiang Jincheng!
Comparing the two, his eyes were exactly the same as Xiang Jincheng's!
"Father, I've already subdued two fire-type Immemorial Mystical Armaments according to your instructions. As your son, I'll help you wash away your humiliation!" the warrior said in a deep voice.
Honest Xia's Forger special training had already begun. Forgers first needed to grasp the Law of Forger, a force derived from the Law of Matter. In addition, they also needed to understand the various metals and how to inject laws into them.
Honest Xia started with the basic knowledge. Just the books on the various metals in the universe alone filled the shelves.
Unlike other Law Adepts, Xia Fei loved to read. Be it history, military, or all sorts of reference books, Xia Fei had dabbled in them all. Before he started cultivating, Honest Xia had requested that Xia Fei first read through all of these books. Aside from that, he also needed to cultivate the Law of Forging to level 2.
For three days in a row, Xia Fei cultivated and read. When he had free time, he would go to the Half Moon Villa to accompany Avrils. His days were quite relaxing, as if he had returned to the time when he was studying in the Heaven Execution Camp.
Late at night, Xia Fei lay on his bed, holding a thick, ancient book in his hand. This book was called the Encyclopedia of Metal Extraction, and it described how to extract various metals from ores.
Truth be told, this book was rather boring, yet Xia Fei enjoyed it and unknowingly became engrossed in it.
Xia Fei had a knack for reading, and that was to keep flipping through the books. When he encountered something he did not understand, he would only ponder over it for a bit, never stopping for a long time to study a fixed problem.
After reading a book a hundred times, its meaning would naturally emerge. Xia Fei believed in the words of the ancients. If he could not understand it the first time, he would read it the second time, and if he could not understand it the second time, he would read it the third time until he understood it completely.
Pa!
Xia Fei closed the book and casually threw it on the carpet in the room. There was already a small mountain of books there, and they were all the homework that Honest Xia had assigned to Xia Fei.
"You finished reading so quickly?" The old demon lord chuckled. Reading was practically torture for him, and he could not understand why an outstanding warrior like Xia Fei would have such a bad habit of burying his head in books.
Xia Fei nodded and sat up on his bed. "Being able to read a few books in peace every once in a while is truly satisfying. It turns out that there are as many as 6.74 billion types of metals in the universe, and among them, there are more than 20 million types of metals that are crucial to the Law Realm. It seems that the path of forging is as complicated as medicine refinement, and there are plenty of basics to learn.
"However, I feel that the Law of Forging isn't the most important. What's important is the ratio and fusion of metals …"
Oro's head was buzzing as he listened, and he hurriedly interrupted Xia Fei's rambling, sternly saying, "Enough. You can discuss this when you meet Old Xia tomorrow. In any case, your Law of Forging has already reached level 2, so it's about time you start practicing it."
Xia Fei smiled. The scope of Oro's reading was limited to the history of the Law Realm, the various martial arts techniques, and the genealogy of his own clan. Aside from that, he had no interest in forging or medicine refinement. However, Oro was still an important figure of the Demon Race, so he had many connections. His mind was filled with plenty of forging secrets, which would be of some help to Xia Fei.
Lightly swiping his finger across his ring, Xia Fei took out the Picture of Ten Thousand.
The long scroll was unfurled, and one complicated diagram after another was displayed in front of Xia Fei.
The Picture of Ten Thousand was the essence inheritance of the Wan family's ancestor, a Heavenly Artificer. Xia Fei had counted it before, and while it was said to be the Picture of Ten Thousand, there were not even ten thousand diagrams. To be more precise, the Picture of Ten Thousand contained eighty-one diagrams.
The diagrams were very abstract, and the average person would not be able to understand what they meant.
Oro sighed. To him, these diagrams were even more of a headache than the books.
"This Picture of Ten Thousand can't possibly belong to a human, right? What Heavenly Artificer inheritance? The way I see it, it's just a bunch of random lines. I really don't get it. What does this thing have to do with forging? "Oro complained.
Xia Fei replied, "If it were that easy to decipher, it wouldn't be called the Picture of Ten Thousand. I'm guessing that these diagrams have something to do with forging. It all depends on how you analyze and interpret them."
"Then what's your initial interpretation?" Oro was unconvinced.
"I'm guessing that only a small portion of the diagrams are truly useful, and the rest are just camouflage. As long as you can remove the camouflage, the truth will be revealed," Xia Fei softly said.
"Just like when you solved that song from a fractal diagram?"
"It's not quite the same. Fractal diagrams have rules, while these diagrams are rather disorderly."
Oro turned around, no longer saying anything. He did not want to waste his energy on this headache inducing Picture of Ten Thousand. If he had the time, he might as well use it to plan what he would do after he was killed by Xia Fei. In truth, he had already planned this many times in his mind, but Xia Fei just refused to make a move.
Oro had also tried to anger Xia Fei into killing him, but Xia Fei was very cunning. In order to keep the experienced Oro by his side, he did not get angry no matter what he did. When he was forced into a corner, Xia Fei took out the Blood Crystal and waved it in front of Oro. This demon knife could absorb blood essence, so if Xia Fei used it to kill Oro, then Oro would really die!
Rebirth? Not a chance!
It was late at night, and Xia Fei was engrossed in the Picture of Ten Thousand. The complex diagrams seemed to bring Xia Fei into the endless starry sky, making him dizzy. Fortunately, Xia Fei's mental fortitude was excellent, and he was barely able to hold on.
Driven by his intense curiosity, Xia Fei began to analyze the structure of these diagrams, removing the useless parts to understand the true intentions of the creator.
It was like picking sand in the desert or fishing for a needle in the vast sea. It did not take long for Xia Fei to feel dizzy.
Closing the scroll, Xia Fei fell into a deep sleep.
"It seems that this Picture of Ten Thousand really isn't that simple," Xian Fei mumbled to himself in a daze.
Xia Fei slept very late but woke up very early. Just as the sky brightened, Xia Fei stretched his back and went to the back garden.
Xia Fifth Master had already prepared breakfast. There were some snacks popular in the White Horse Constellation and a few side dishes. At this level of cultivation, eating was just to prevent one's stomach from growling. This bit of energy was completely insufficient to replenish one's energy expenditure. Besides, breakfast was also a meeting of the Skywing Clan. Xia Fei, Xia Fifth Master, and Xia Zonghai, the three members of the clan who had stayed behind in Wind Garden, would meet and discuss their respective arrangements.
A while ago, the Skywing Clan's fortieth Law Emperor, Xia Xiaobo, had stayed in Wind Garden for a while, but this kid was just as restless as the rest of the Skywing Clan. Once his excitement wore off, he said that he wanted to go out for a walk, but no one knew where he was now.
There was nothing to be done about it. The Skywing Clan was a free and undisciplined bunch. There was never anyone at home, but if a rare treasure appeared somewhere or something new happened, they would definitely be able to capture a group of Skywing Clan elites on the spot.
The three of them ate something. Master Xia the Fifth smiled and said, "After investigation, we found out that the operation of wiping out the two sects and one race was very clean. However, our spy came to report that there might be an illegitimate child in Jincheng."
"An illegitimate child?!" Xia Fei and Xia Zonghai were both very nervous. This was a genocide operation, and they could not afford to leave any loose ends. They had not been able to kill all of Xiang Yue's clansmen, and soon after, they had colluded with the Ancient God Church and the Origin Church to counterattack, putting Skywing in a passive position.
If Xiang Jincheng still had an illegitimate child, there was no doubt that he was an enemy of Skywing, and enemies had to die.
"That's right." Xia Fifth Master nodded. "This illegitimate child of Xiang Jincheng's has hidden himself very well. Our spies investigated Xiang Jincheng's whereabouts over the years and discovered that he would go to the Exiled Grounds every once in a while. At first, we thought that he was colluding with the mercenaries in the Exiled Grounds. Didn't he also mobilize some mercenaries to deal with our clan last time?
"However, after careful investigation, we discovered that aside from colluding with several mercenary groups, Xiang Jincheng often goes to see another person. His name is Wu Yuming. Here's a picture."
With that, Xia Fifth Master brought up the screen and saw a middle-aged man.
"Very similar! This Wu Yuming's eyes are practically identical to Xiang Jincheng's. No wonder you suspect that he's Xiang Jincheng's illegitimate child. "Xia Zonghai put down his chopsticks and sternly said.
Xia Fei was somewhat surprised. "He's hidden so deeply, yet you still managed to find him?"
Xia Fei smiled. "Young master Fei, you might not know this, but though the battle is over, the cleanup of the two religions and one race has never stopped. Our clan's spies have always been busy, cleaning up the remaining members of the three clans. Let alone hiding in the Exiled Grounds, we'll find him sooner or later even if he's hiding at the ends of the earth. It's just that those from before are all minor characters, so there's no need to inform you."
Xia Fei was startled. The methods used were truly vicious. The battle had been over for so long, but the cleanup was still going on. It was as the old ancestor had said; not even a single blade of grass would be spared!
"Fifth Master, since you've already investigated him, why haven't you sent someone to kill him? Whether he's related to Xiang Jincheng by blood or not, we can't let him go! "Xia Zonghai said.
Fifth Master shook his head. "This Wu Yuming has the aptitude of a level 3 Law Emperor, so it's not too safe for our clan's spies to make a move. Right now, the two of you are the only Law Emperors left in Wind Garden. The others are all outside, so I'll have to trouble one of you two to make a trip. It'll be too much of a fuss to report this to the patriarch."
At this point, Xia Fei and Xia Zonghai looked at each other. Xia Zonghai hurriedly picked up his bowl and took two bites. "What are you looking at me for? I'm playing chess with Lang Jiulin today, and the stakes are pretty high. "
