In Heavenly City, there was a famous blacksmith named the River Portrait Immortal Emperor. He was an all-rounded blacksmith.
The River Portrait Immortal Emperor was famous for his forging skills. His talent in forging and inscribing formations was extremely high, he was a true grandmaster-level character. Many famous buildings in Heavenly City were built by him. Not only so, some emperor-level characters from the major powers of the Lifire Palace would also personally visit him to invite him to help out.
However, the River Portrait Immortal Emperor focused on his cultivation or researching forging. He didn't belong to any major powers and similarly, he didn't belong to any world overlord powers. In the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, the statuses of famed blacksmiths were extremely high. They could easily obtain vast amounts of cultivation resources and many unaffiliated cultivators wanted to walk the path of famed blacksmiths. When their cultivation base encountered a bottleneck and it was hard for them to advance further, they might spend many years to focus on forging.
However, this was the same as cultivation, it required a high level of talent. Also, there were some people who wanted to condense a forging astral soul and had long since wanted to walk on this path.
At this moment, in the residence of the River Portrait Immortal Emperor, Qin Wentian was quietly staring at the River Portrait Immortal Emperor's carving. He was carving divine weapons, directly inscribing them on the gigantic emperor stones. The weapons created by this method could only be considered the simplest type of divine weapon and wouldn't have much use. However, the River Portrait Immortal Emperor had carved many of them, filling the entire ground. This was merely a method of his daily cultivation.
As for Qin Wentian, he was currently sitting beside the River Portrait Immortal Emperor as he quietly watched.
"Don't think that this is the simplest form of carving. To the vast majority of people, they wouldn't even be able to do something as simple as this. Cultivation is never something that can be accomplished in a single step. It's the same for forging. For example, language is made up of words. If you can't even speak a single word, how can you combine those words into a sentence?" The River Portrait Immortal Emperor was very old. His hair was white but his spirit was very good. This was especially so when he was carving. His eyes shone with a bright light, as though he was in high spirits.
"You should come here often. With your talent and cultivation base, there are already very few people who can focus on forging. Hence, I have taught you many things. Even if you don't choose to walk on this path, it might still be of some help to your cultivation." The River Portrait Immortal Emperor took out a gigantic emperor stone and tossed it to Qin Wentian. "Come, try to carve it into a sword."
"Alright." Qin Wentian smiled and nodded. An incomparably sharp sword of law appeared in his hand as he started to carve on the stone. This stone was extremely tough and Qin Wentian's speed was very slow, but he was very serious. Such a cultivation method could be said to be extremely wasteful. Only a wealthy blacksmith would do such a thing.
Gradually, the emperor stone was shaped by Qin Wentian into the shape of a sword. Numerous clear inscriptions resembling sword inscriptions could be seen emanating from the emperor stone. Although it was clearly carved from a single emperor stone, tens of thousands of sword intents gushed forth at the same time, resembling a sword domain.
"As expected, you are extremely talented. If you are willing to focus on this, your future achievements will definitely be much higher than mine." The River Portrait Immortal Emperor smiled at Qin Wentian.
"Senior praises me too much. It's just that I've studied formations in the past and have some understanding of the Dao of Divine Inscriptions. That's why I'm able to do this with ease. I still need Senior's guidance," Qin Wentian replied humbly.
"Talent is the most important factor in forging. Have you read the ancient scrolls I gave you in the past?"
"Mhm, I've read them all." Qin Wentian nodded. He took out a few jade slips and passed them to the River Portrait Immortal Emperor.
"Luo`er, go and bring some more jade slips over." The River Portrait Immortal Emperor spoke. After that, a voice rang out from outside, "Yes, Grandpa."
A moment later, a young lady in white walked over and passed some jade slips to Qin Wentian. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a smile as she spoke, "Grandpa has never treated someone so well before."
"Mhm, I naturally understand senior's kindness." Qin Wentian nodded.
"Lass, these things are originally meant for others to look at. It's a waste to leave them on me. Given the talent of this brat, I'm naturally willing to add flowers to his brocade." The River Portrait Immortal Emperor laughed. "Little brat Qin, if you have the chance in the future, you can pay a visit to the Heavenly Talisman Realm. The Realmlord of the Heavenly Talisman Realm has an extremely deep understanding of the Dao of Divine Inscriptions. There are many powerful blacksmiths there."
"Heavenly Talisman Realm!" Qin Wentian's heart trembled. What a familiar name. So it turned out that the Heavenly Talisman Realm was the same as the Lifelong Realm. Was it part of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms?
In that case, the Heavenly Talisman Realm in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms was merely a chess piece the Realmlord planted in the lower world. In that case, did the Realmlord's ultimate goal was to control the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms in his hands?
Given how the Heavenly Talisman Realm has been silently developing for so many years, there was a high possibility that this was the case. If they accumulated enough strength, once the Heavenly Talisman Realm came out, they might really be able to topple the entire Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. In that case, this ungoverned Azure Mystic Immortal Realms might become the backup strength of the Heavenly Talisman Realm.
"Heavenly Talisman Realmlord? Master?" Qin Wentian smiled and shook his head. What sort of status did the overlord of a realm have? Most probably, he wouldn't be able to climb up to it. Back then when he was at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, he had already joined the Heavenly Talisman Realm and took the Realmlord as his master. But in truth, that was merely their wishful thinking. At most, they could only be considered disciples in name. Most probably, the Realmlord of the Heavenly Talisman Realm wouldn't have the time to care about them.
"Yeah, the Heavenly Talisman Realm that is adjacent to the Lifelong Realm. You haven't been to such a faraway place yet, right? In the future when you grow stronger, you will naturally have a chance to go." The River Portrait Immortal Emperor laughed.
"Grandpa, I also want to go on a faraway journey. Why don't you let me go out?" The white-robed maiden at the side stared at the River Portrait Immortal Emperor in a charming manner.
"Haha, with just you? I'm afraid you would be snatched away before you can even go out." The River Portrait Immortal Emperor laughed.
Luo`er's lips twitched, "No matter what, I'm still at the immortal king realm."
"Fine, fine. In the future when you find a dao companion, you guys can go on a faraway journey. At that time, grandpa won't care about you anymore." The River Portrait Immortal Emperor laughed and shook his head.
"Grandpa, I won't look for a dao companion. I just want to accompany grandpa."
"How can that do? Grandpa will eventually grow old and you will meet someone you like sooner or later. Actually, I feel that little brat Qin Wentian isn't bad. Luo`er, what do you think of him?" The River Portrait Immortal Emperor joked. Luo`er glanced at Qin Wentian, her pure countenance was filled with shyness. She then glared at the River Portrait Immortal Emperor, "Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"How can Mister River Portrait be old? Old man, you are still young and vigorous. In the future, your cultivation base will surely grow stronger." A gentle voice drifted over. Ye Qianyu who was dressed in a long dress walked over. Her eyes were filled with hidden bitterness as she glared at Qin Wentian.
"Palace Mistress really knows how to speak. However, compared to her, this old man is truly old." The River Portrait Immortal Emperor smiled and shook his head.
"Mister River Portrait, is my man's talent in forging passable?" Ye Qianyu smiled. The River Portrait Immortal Emperor started. After that, he saw Ye Qianyu walking to the side of Qin Wentian and stretching out her hand to hold Qin Wentian's arm. Only then did he understand. His eyes were filled with bewilderment as he stared at Ye Qianyu and Qin Wentian.
"Little brat Qin's talent is naturally extremely good." The River Portrait Immortal Emperor nodded.
"In that case, many thanks for Mister's nurturing. We will bid our farewell first." Ye Qianyu pulled Qin Wentian and left. Qin Wentian was speechless as he was dragged away by her. He then revealed an apologetic smile to the River Portrait Immortal Emperor.
After the two of them left, the eyes of the River Portrait Immortal Emperor gleamed with sharpness. "Strange, the number one beauty of Heavenly City actually fell in love with a little brat at the immortal king realm."
Turning his head, he saw his granddaughter staring at the two of them in a daze. "Luo`er, are you also interested in that brat Qin Wentian? But it seems like you have given up. You are still far from being able to compete with Ye Qianyu. It's just that although that brat Qin Wentian's talent is very good, is he really worthy of Ye Qianyu's actions? "
Ye Qianyu and Qin Wentian walked through Heavenly City. Her incomparably charming body leaned against Qin Wentian as she spoke, "Recently, you have been coming here every day. Could it be that you have fallen in love with the purity of a young lady?"
"Eh …" Qin Wentian was speechless. "Back then, weren't you the one who introduced me to Senior River Portrait to cultivate the art of forging?"
"I also didn't expect that you would come here to woo girls." Ye Qianyu stared at Qin Wentian. Upon seeing the bitter smile on his face, she nudged him and exhaled, "Could it be that I still can't satisfy you? Do you want this mistress to serve you in bed tonight?"
"Palace mistress, can you spare me?" Qin Wentian saw numerous gazes directed at him. Many of them were as sharp as blades.
This place was Heavenly City and Ye Qianyu was known as the number one beauty of Heavenly City. Who didn't know of her? If he acted like this in public, his life would surely be in danger …
Very swiftly, a shocking piece of news circulated around Heavenly City. The Palace Mistress of the Thousand Feathers Palace, the number one beauty of Heavenly City, Ye Qianyu, was actually hugging the arm of a young man in the city. They seemed extremely intimate and it was said that the two of them were already dao companions.
This young man had long resided in Ye Qianyu's palace. In fact, ten years ago, Ye Qianyu even paid a huge price to invite the River Portrait Immortal Emperor to construct a supreme cultivation platform for him in her palace.
When this news circulated out, countless people felt pain in their hearts. The goddess of their dreams had actually been obtained by someone else?
There were some who were filled with hatred. A mere immortal king, what qualifications did he have to obtain Ye Qianyu?
Hence, there were actually several immortal emperors who sent out letters of challenge to the mysterious young man, telling him to scram out of the Thousand Feathers Palace.
However, Qin Wentian didn't appear. Ye Qianyu got others to act and beat up one of the immortal emperors who sent the letter of challenge. This matter caused countless people to weep. What was going on with this world?
Was the number one beauty of Heavenly City possessed by a demon?
Could it be that this mysterious young man had a special ability that could gain the favor of females?
This news circulated wildly. Today, in the mountain range outside Heavenly City, two figures met. One of them was actually the Barbarian Emperor while the other was also an immortal emperor.
"Palace mistress, is it really like the rumors? You are actually infatuated with an immortal king?" That immortal emperor's voice was cold.
"Palace mistress …" The Barbarian Emperor clenched his fists as he spoke with hatred. "Qin Wentian has already resided in the palace mistress' palace for over ten years."
The expression of the other immortal emperor stiffened. He sighed, "I want to meet the palace mistress."
"It's useless. I've already persuaded her countless times but the palace mistress is growing more and more disgusted with me." The Barbarian Emperor clenched his fists so tightly that crackling sounds could be heard. "Qin Wentian must die. Let's act according to the plan we agreed upon. Let's not meet again and directly communicate through the messaging crystal."
The eyes of that immortal emperor flashed. After a moment of silence, he nodded, "Fine."
