At the foot of Heavenly Spirit Mountain, more and more people were waiting. There were already more than a hundred of them, and the lowest cultivation base was at the Fifth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage.
A Ninth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse stepped forward and handed a Heavenly Primary Pill to the Shoushan Tongzi.
"May I ask if Grandmaster Tian Lingzi has woken up?" The Ninth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse asked gently with a smile on his face.
"Wait a moment, let me ask." Although the Shoushan Tongzi was arrogant, he knew the other party was extraordinary, so he did not dare to act rashly. However, he was not as nervous as the other half-Saint Stage powerhouses.
"The Mountain Master has woken up, but he can only meet one person first." The Shoushan Tongzi said. Then, he asked the Ninth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse to climb the mountain first. The others could only continue to wait.
Chen Zong could see that the Shoushan Tongzi was acting arrogantly by relying on his power. However, it was also a kind of ability, so it was not a big deal.
Under normal circumstances, Chen Zong would not break other people's rules unless it was an emergency. However, it was not an emergency now, so he could wait and cultivate at the same time.
One after another, some succeeded in climbing the mountain, while others were stopped. Chen Zong could see that one had to pay a price to climb the mountain directly. For example, a Heavenly Primary Pill.
Therefore, Chen Zong took out a Heavenly Primary Pill and gave it to the other party.
He was just a nobody at the half-Saint Stage. He could kill him many times with a puff of his breath. As long as he did not really provoke him, Chen Zong would not make a fuss about it. It was really boring to bully the weak.
With Chen Zong's speed, he soon reached the top of Heavenly Spirit Mountain.
There was a huge and majestic palace at the top of the mountain. It seemed to be made of countless metals, and it emitted a solemn and awe-inspiring aura.
When Chen Zong stepped into it, he still did not see Tian Lingzi. Instead, he was arranged to wait in a palace.
The person in charge here was a disciple of Tian Lingzi.
"Please state your cultivation base, name, and origin." The Tian Lingzi disciple walked up to Chen Zong and said unhurriedly. Even though his cultivation was only at the Early Saint Realm, he didn't seem to be afraid at all, as if he had something to rely on.
"My name is Chen Zong. I'm at the early stage of the Eighth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage. Chen Zong replied unhurriedly. However, he secretly thought that this Tian Lingzi was really arrogant, or rather, had a very strange temperament.
However, Tian Jianzi had warned him before he came. Since Chen Zong had decided to come, he was mentally prepared.
Hearing Chen Zong's name, the Tian Lingzi disciple's face showed a hint of surprise, as if he had heard of him before.
This was normal. After all, Chen Zong had consecutively defeated a group of Sword Dao masters on the Upper Yuan Sky Sword List. Even the number one on the Upper Yuan Sky Sword List, Tian Jianzi, was no match for him. Jiandi's name had already spread far and wide.
"Wait a moment, I'll go ask Master." The Tian Lingzi disciple's tone became gentler.
Jiandi!
He was extraordinary. Even a master like Tian Jianzi was no match for him.
A master naturally had to be treated as a master.
The conditions given by Tian Lingzi often varied from person to person. Chen Zong did not know what conditions Tian Lingzi would give him, but since he was here, he had to give it a try. Perhaps the conditions would not be difficult for him.
The people waiting in the hall were called to leave one by one. Not long after, when they reappeared, some looked dignified, some looked happy, and some looked unhappy. Obviously, some people had agreed to Tian Lingzi's conditions, but the conditions were harsh and not easy to fulfill, so they looked dignified.
Some people's conditions were relatively easy, so they were happy.
Some people's conditions were very harsh, almost impossible to fulfill, so they naturally looked unhappy. Even so, they did not dare to get angry.
In comparison, the other party was Tian Lingzi, second only to the Tiangong Elder, and was known as a master forger. If they offended him, the consequences would be very serious. For example, if he gave a condition and said that he wanted to deal with someone, then many people would come to deal with that person. It would be difficult to move an inch, and they might even be killed.
Therefore, even if they were dissatisfied with Tian Lingzi's harsh conditions, they could not get angry here. They could only endure it.
Tian Lingzi certainly could see that, but so what? Unless you were a master half a step away from the Great Saint level, Tian Lingzi would give you more face.
One by one, it was finally Chen Zong's turn.
Chen Zong stepped out of the waiting hall. Led by Tian Lingzi's disciple, he walked through a long corridor and kept walking forward. Dim lights were burning on both sides of the corridor.
"Master is inside." Tian Lingzi's disciple bowed slightly and said.
Pushing the door open, Chen Zong stepped in.
As soon as Chen Zong entered, he felt a blazing aura sweeping through, like rolling waves surging endlessly.
What came into view was a huge furnace. The furnace was 20 meters high and 30 meters wide. It was burning with an extremely red fire, as if it had turned into a substance, as if it could burn everything between heaven and earth into ashes.
Tian Lingzi was a middle-aged man in fiery red armor. His cheeks were thin and sunken, and he seemed to be malnourished. However, his eyes were extremely sharp, as if they could see through everything.
His fiery gaze landed on Chen Zong. For a moment, Chen Zong felt as though he had been set on fire, as though he was being burned by a raging inferno.
Chen Zong's gaze also swept across and fixed on him. He made a judgment in an instant.
Tian Lingzi's cultivation was at the peak of the Ninth Heaven Saint Realm. The Cultivation Technique he cultivated was of the highest quality of the Saint Grade. Moreover, it was a fire-attribute Cultivation Technique, and he even mastered the Rare Heavenly Fire.
In other words, Tian Lingzi's strength was not weak.
Tian Jianzi once said that Tian Lingzi was ranked sixth on the Shangyuan Heaven List. That was his ranking a hundred years ago. As for whether he was stronger now, he should be. As for how much stronger he was, it was hard to say.
Whether it was his personal strength or his identity as a Grandmaster Artificer, Tian Lingzi's status was higher than other cultivators.
Even experts like Tian Jianzi did not want to directly become enemies with Tian Lingzi.
"Jiandi?" Tian Lingzi asked. His fiery gaze became even more intense.
"I am." Chen Zong said, "Sir Tian Lingzi, I need to forge a Divine Sense Weapon. Are you sure you can do it?"
A Divine Sense Weapon was different from a Saint Grade Artifact. It was more difficult. Therefore, Chen Zong did not know whether Tian Lingzi could forge it. He needed to ask first.
"A Divine Sense Weapon?" Tian Lingzi was slightly stunned. He did not expect such a request.
To be honest, he had never forged a Divine Sense Weapon, but he had heard of it.
"I have never forged one before, but I can try. I wonder if Jiandi has a forging blueprint?" Tian Lingzi asked. He did not seem to have a strange temperament.
"Yes." Chen Zong would certainly make the necessary preparations. He immediately took out a scroll and flew it to Tian Lingzi. It was a part of the Imperial God Weapon that Chen Zong had drawn.
The Imperial God Weapon was a unique Divine Weapon of the Imperial God Technique. Without the Imperial God Technique, it was useless. However, Chen Zong did not want to expose the Imperial God Weapon completely before the negotiation. He had to hold back.
Tian Lingzi took the scroll and opened it. He looked at it carefully. He was instantly immersed in it.
Time passed slowly. When Tian Lingzi finished looking at it over and over again, two hours had passed.
"I can try to forge it, but I am not sure if I will succeed." Tian Lingzi raised his head and stared at Chen Zong. His tone was sharper and more powerful. "You need to prepare the materials yourself."
The materials needed to forge the Imperial God Weapon were not ordinary. Chen Zong had most of them. There was only one material that he had not obtained yet. That material was called the Soul Dissolving Stone.
Chen Zong planned to find Tian Lingzi first. After confirming it, he would look for the Soul Dissolving Stone.
Whether he looked for it himself or asked someone else to look for it, he had a way.
"What are the conditions?" Chen Zong asked.
The conditions were one of the key points.
If Tian Lingzi's conditions were too harsh, Chen Zong would certainly not agree.
"One hundred years!" Tian Lingzi stretched out a finger and stared at Chen Zong with bright eyes. "You will stay in Tianling Mountain for one hundred years and be used by me."
Chen Zong frowned slightly when he heard that.
One hundred years!
If he was used by Tian Lingzi, it meant that he would become Tian Lingzi's subordinate for the next one hundred years.
This condition was very harsh for Chen Zong. Chen Zong would never agree.
One hundred years was not a short time for him. Besides, he had to listen to Tian Lingzi's orders.
In addition, Tian Lingzi did not have much confidence in forging the Imperial God Weapon.
Therefore, Chen Zong refused without hesitation and took back the scroll.
After being refused, Tian Lingzi's expression changed greatly. His eyes became cold and his voice became sharper. "You have to think about it carefully. Besides me, you can't find anyone else to forge the Imperial God Weapon for you."
"The Upper Yuan Realm is not the only Tianyuan Sacred Region. You are not the only Grandmaster Forger." Chen Zong responded unhurriedly. He got up and walked away.
Tian Lingzi's expression became colder and colder. His eyes were full of anger.
"You should know that I am a Grandmaster Forger. No matter which world I am in, my status is high. There are many people who are willing to listen to my orders. If I want to deal with you, you will not be able to do anything." Tian Lingzi's voice was full of threat. "Fifty years. You only need to stay in Tianling Mountain for fifty years. After fifty years, I will forge the Imperial God Weapon for you."
Chen Zong did not have the slightest intention to pay attention to him this time. He left directly.
Just as Tian Jianzi said, Tian Lingzi was not easy to deal with.
However, even if Tian Lingzi threatened him, Chen Zong was not afraid at all.
Whoever dared to make an enemy out of him for Tian Lingzi would have to be prepared to face the sword in his hand.
The sword was a weapon of slaughter.
Tian Lingzi's eyes flashed with faint flames. He stared at Chen Zong's back as he left. Anger emerged from his heart and spread throughout his body. Traces of killing intent surged endlessly. The flames in the huge furnace seemed to be attracted and became more and more blazing. Wisps of flames rushed out like the tongues of fire dragons, burning the void.
This was the real Tian Lingzi. His temperament was unpredictable.
Chen Zong walked out of the palace. His expression was calm. No one could tell whether he had reached an agreement with Tian Lingzi or not.
Step by step, Chen Zong walked down the mountain. He was thinking about what to do next.
The Imperial God Weapon must be forged. It was a weapon that could strengthen himself. He could not let it go.
