"Don't say that. Your words remind me of some things from my youth."
"Something happened to our clan. It was the kind where the entire clan was banished to the army. I went to ask your grandfather what to do. Your grandfather was very calm and was even drinking tea. So, I asked your grandfather hopefully if there was an expert behind our clan. Even if the sky fell down, there would be someone to hold it up. Your grandfather nodded." Zhu Tianguan pointed at the chair next to him and gestured for Zhu Minglang to sit down.
Zhu Minglang sat down and faced the vast lake outside. He watched the cold moon reflected in the lake and also saw a few shadows floating on the other side of the lake.
"So there really is an expert behind our clan?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Yes, but he didn't show up during that incident. So, many people in our clan were banished to the army. I also joined the army and spent all my time in front of a huge furnace to forge weapons for the army. For three whole years, I didn't see the sun, but I developed a peerless forging skill. "Zhu Tianguan said.
"Uhh …" Zhu Minglang didn't know how to respond.
"After I returned to the Zhu Clan, your grandfather told me that the expert wasn't unwilling to save us. He just wanted to train our generation. A smooth life is actually a kind of danger. I believed him. After all, I have the best forging skill on this continent. Large and small sects have attached themselves to us. Even a celestial being like your mother who has no desires was subdued by my talent." Zhu Tianguan said.
"Don't you think your grandfather is lying to you?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"It doesn't matter. Back then, I thought the disaster was like the sky falling down. Now, it's something that can be solved with a single sentence. I've encountered dangers ten times, a hundred times worse than that. In the past few years, I've also encountered them and survived them. Of course, I've always felt that your grandfather is a trustworthy person. If our clan really encounters a calamity, even if I do my best, I won't be able to resolve it in the end. I'm sure a world-shaking god will descend and slaughter everyone for our Zhu Clan. "Zhu Tianguan looked at the lake and calmly said.
"This is the first time I've seen someone talk about it in such a fresh and refined way," Zhu Minglang said.
"…" Zhu Tianguan smiled awkwardly.
"Did you forge the Jade Blood Sword?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"That's right. To the outside world, it was said to be your grandfather's work, but it was actually me who made it. Back then, I used the world's number one sword to turn the tables for our entire clan. Our Zhu Family also jumped from being a third-rate clan to being one of the six great clans. The Jade Blood Sword is my third most satisfying work. "Zhu Tianguan's face was filled with pride.
"Third place?" Zhu Minglang was very surprised.
"The second is the Silver River Sword. It's the one your mother is holding. She was the youngest and most powerful swordswoman in the Xu Kingdom, and I was the most outstanding in Extreme Court … "Zhu Tianguan said.
"Okay, okay, okay. Don't think about the past. Every time you tell me a different version. I think she's only with you because she's interested in your craftsmanship. She doesn't really care about you, "Zhu Minglang said.
"You don't understand."
"What about the first place?" Zhu Minglang asked curiously.
The Jade Blood Sword that the White-Headed Great Guardian and Elder Jing Lin called the world's number one sword was only Zhu Tianguan's third work. Zhu Minglang didn't expect this.
It seemed that this unreliable father of his had some skills. It was just that this unparalleled solemnity was easily overshadowed by his old and unruly behavior.
"The first place …" Zhu Tianguan smiled but didn't say anything.
Zhu Minglang was very anxious.
The Jade Blood Sword was already very famous. Zhu Minglang desperately wanted to get it. As Stegosaurus' dragon food, Stegosaurus hadn't eaten a good sword for a long time.
If there was a better sword other than the Jade Blood Sword, Stegosaurus' strength would be greatly increased. He would be able to compete with the Sparrow Wolf God after his sword awakened.
"Do you want the Jade Blood Sword?" Zhu Tianguan seemed to see through Zhu Minglang's thoughts.
"If the Sparrow Wolf God gets his hands on it, he'll probably recover his godhood," Zhu Minglang said.
"Why are you beating around the bush with me? Just tell your father, do you want the Jade Blood Sword?" Zhu Tianguan said.
"I wanted it before, but now I want the number one sword you made." Zhu Minglang didn't hold back at all.
"That's going to be a little difficult," Zhu Tianguan said.
"How about this, I want all the swords from the tenth to the third place in your mind, including the Jade Blood Sword!" Zhu Minglang said.
"Are you trying to trick me!?"
"Didn't you tell me not to beat around the bush?"
…
Zhu Minglang followed Zhu Tianguan to the inner court's Sword Crafting Hall. Zhu Minglang was actually quite passionate about swords, especially the uniqueness of the Sword Spirit Dragon. It allowed Zhu Minglang to collect all the famous swords in the world and then inject their sword souls into his Sword Spirit Dragon.
To put it bluntly, the Zhu Men was the perfect nutrition for Stegosaurus. As long as there was a suitable opportunity, Stegosaurus could jump a few levels!
Now that the Zhu Men was at its most dangerous stage, Zhu Tianguan and the Zhu Men's Inner Court wouldn't hold back. They had already gathered all their resources and were preparing for this day.
"Everyone advocates cultivation and constantly improves themselves. Only our Zhu Men specializes in forging. I dare say that even in Tianshu Shenjiang, there are no blacksmiths like us," Zhu Tianguan said to Zhu Minglang as he walked into the hall.
The few Secret Guards that were previously in the forest also followed over, but they were all standing at a place where Zhu Minglang could not see.
Zhu Minglang suspected that these three experts had been guarding Zhu Tianguan all this time. It was just that his cultivation wasn't high enough to detect their presence.
"You haven't been to Tianshu. How do you know that there aren't any in Tianshu Shenjiang?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"A person should have enough confidence. I don't care if he has it or not. I already said that before I saw him. So what?" Zhu Tianguan said.
Fine, shameless is all I have to say.
"It's almost dawn." Zhu Minglang glanced at the high window. The morning light was gradually dispersing the darkness. The nocturnal creatures had already escaped one after another.
"It's fine," Zhu Tianguan replied.
"There are fewer guards in the Inner Court than I expected. Where are the elders, attendants, elders, and guards?" Zhu Minglang was puzzled.
Zhu Minglang couldn't see the Zhu Men's Inner Court from the outside. It felt like the Zhu Men's Inner Court was heavily guarded.
Zhu Minglang didn't see many experts from the Lakeview Study to the Sword Forging Hall, except for the three guards by Zhu Tianguan's side.
It felt like the Zhu Men was very weak.
Wasn't it the leader of the Six Great Clans?
Even the royal family would suffer great losses if they wanted to destroy the Zhu Men. Why didn't the Zhu Men look like the leader of the Six Great Clans?
"Let's focus on the sword first. Summon your Stegosaurus," Zhu Tianguan said.
Zhu Minglang opened his Spirit Domain. Stegosaurus flew out and quietly floated behind Zhu Minglang as if it was on his back. No matter where Zhu Minglang walked, it always maintained a distance where Zhu Minglang could reach out and draw the sword.
"Mo Xie relies on the Devourer Sword to increase her cultivation," Zhu Minglang said.
"Yes. Because of my own experiences, I always feel that a truly good sword needs to be sharpened. I have the same attitude towards you. With our clan's wealth, we can indeed raise you into a King level expert. However, I hope that you can master the ability to become stronger. Even if you far surpass our realm in the future, you won't be lost without our support. You can still find your own path, "Zhu Tianguan said.
As he spoke, Zhu Tianguan led Zhu Minglang to the basement of the Sword Forging Hall!
After growing up, Zhu Minglang finally realized that the Sword Forging Hall had several floors underground!
And at every level of the Sword Casting Hall, there were many sacred artifacts on display. Not only were there swords, there were armors that Zhu Minglang had never seen before. They were comparable to the golden scales on a dragon's body!
As they walked down floor by floor, every floor overturned Zhu Minglang's understanding of the Zhu Clan. It also overturned Zhu Minglang's understanding of Zhu Tianguan!
It felt like the most luxurious, powerful, and expensive artifacts in Extreme Court were all there. It was like a warehouse of artifacts in Extreme Court. Every floor's collection could support a powerful faction in Extreme Court!
"A long, long time ago, our ancestors discovered that there were some extraordinary godly items on the continent, but they didn't know how to release the power of these godly items. It wasn't until your grandfather discovered the inscriptions that our forging skills took a leap forward. But because of this, our clan suffered some disasters. We didn't have time to develop the inscriptions, so we declined. "
"The inscriptions I told you about are a type of godly power release."
"When I was sent away, I studied how to release godly power from godly items. In the end, I mastered the inscriptions and gave them unparalleled power."
"We had the Neon Sea Blood Jade in our warehouse. Generations of people couldn't do anything about it. They couldn't even smelt it. It was I who used the Heavenly Fire to forge it into a sword. I also released the powerful godly blood inscriptions in the blood jade."
"At the time, I was still very young. If I made this public, it would have caused a huge uproar in Extreme Court. So, I always said that it was your grandfather who forged it. Because of this sword, your grandfather passed away in the ensuing disputes. "
"Our Zhu Clan didn't have many cultivators. Before we were strong enough, it was easy for us to become a vassal of others. So, I've been keeping a low profile all these years. "
Hearing the words "keeping a low profile," Zhu Minglang felt that something was wrong.
When he wandered to the Wasteland, the Zhu Clan was the weakest of the six clans. After he came back, the Zhu Clan became the leader of the six clans. How could this be keeping a low profile?
The leap was too fast. Even if he killed a member of the royal family in front of everyone, nothing would happen.
Zhu Tianguan didn't go down with Zhu Minglang. Instead, he pointed at the long stone steps. "You can go down by yourself. You'll find what you want."
"It should be dawn," Zhu Minglang said.
"Your mind is as firm as mine. It's not a bad thing to spoil things with excessive enthusiasm. The reserves inside should be enough for your Stegosaurus to reach the tenth rank. Go."
Zhu Tianguan patted Zhu Minglang, indicating that he didn't need to worry about the arrival of dawn. He just needed to focus on receiving the "enlightenment" from the clan.
