Chapter 568: Chapter 558: Got It? Forging a Great Dao Artifact by Hand, Capiche?

No matter which ancient text or historical book you consult, though the interpretations are somewhat similar, there is one fixed saying.

That is, Dao Artifacts are naturally evolved!

Therefore, the moment Su Mu saw the "Dao Artifact" hanging on the wall, it also refreshed his perception of "Artifact Forging"!

Could it be that Dao Artifacts can really be crafted by humans??!

Although Su Mu met Wu Di for the first time, he patiently observed him for an entire night. Regarding Wu Di, there was one thing Su Mu could be 100% sure of...

Given his obsession with "blacksmithing and forging," the treasures he personally collects must be crafted by himself!

This is beyond doubt; he doesn’t even need to ask.

Several "Harmonization Artifacts" hanging on the wall bear Wu Di’s crafting style in the details, confirming they must have been made by his own hands.

Thus, Su Mu appreciates not the treasures themselves but Wu Di as a person!

Su Mu is not short of treasures, but he lacks such people, especially like Wu Di.

This is also the main reason for actively befriending Wu Di.

....

The refinement process was nearing its end, and Su Mu was about to leave.

So, Su Mu had to consider some people and recruit some talents.

After leaving here, Su Mu intended to establish his force immediately and proceed full scale in one step.

Therefore, he needed to draw in some outstanding candidates.

Like Fang Yuan, Su Mu chose to keep Fang Yuan by his side, not because of his cultivation talent. In this world, geniuses are abundant.

What Su Mu admired most about him was... his calmness and thought process.

After guarding the river for so many years, Su Mu has seen many people. Most have one thing in common: exceptional talent.

But truly, those who Su Mu admired and regarded as outstanding are few.

He still remembers those he forced into signing a "loan," the children of destiny. He wonders how they have developed.

It’s been so long, and except for someone named "Ye Fan," who has come to repay, the others haven’t been seen. He wonders if they plan on defaulting....

Nonetheless, Su Mu has thought of a new "repayment" method and plans to find them after going out.

He is not worried about finding them.

When signing the "loan," he was cautious enough to have them leave a blood print, leaving behind their aura.

Once he leaves this broken river, no matter where they are, he’ll find them in an instant.

The signing of the "loan" initially, apart from superficially taking a little bit of treasure from them, was more importantly a kind of "invisible investment," also understood as "release" or "rearing."

Those children of destiny, as the routine goes, are bound to grow into prominent figures, children of the realm.

By then, when he leaves the river, won’t they be the best candidates for Su Mu to build his sect influence??

To avoid finding each one later, he had already planted the seed of cause and effect before their crossing.

However, he wonders how far they have developed....

What if some are too weak and haven’t even reached the Celestial Immortal Immortal King realm? They wouldn’t even catch Su Mu’s eye.

But... thinking about it carefully, he has only guarded the river for less than ten years, and even if they are children of destiny, they couldn’t develop so quickly.....

Forget it, the "invisible investment" has been spread around long enough, just need to wait for time to pass, and eventually, he will find a few excellent seedlings.

.....

This "Wu Di" has already made it onto Su Mu’s "list."

But he just doesn’t know... how to recruit such a remarkable talent for his use. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

....

While Su Mu was pondering, footsteps echoed.

Wu Di strode in, pulling Su Mu’s thoughts back to reality.

He was holding a freshly forged silver broadsword.

Upon closer inspection, this silver broadsword astonishingly reached the "Emperor Weapon" level!

"Emperor Weapon" is the lifebound treasure used by Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors, already considered very high in grade!

Considering the time, how long has it been? Just one hour!

In one hour, he handcrafted an Emperor Weapon?!

Is he joking?

Kidding!

Moreover, this is not an ordinary Emperor Weapon; it’s an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon!

Representing the pinnacle standard of "Emperor Weapons."

Wu Di walked to the wall, took down a likewise "Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon" black broadsword, and replaced it with the newly forged silver broadsword.

Su Mu compared them carefully; Wu Di’s newly forged silver broadsword was indeed slightly better than the black one!

After taking down the black broadsword, he casually tossed it into the abandoned pit outside the window!

With that, Su Mu comprehended something.

Why Wu Di’s weapon collection spans across all realms of quality.

From the most basic Spiritual Artifact to the highest "Slaying Dao Artifact," all kinds of weapon types were present!

It turns out..... Wu Di has a "collection fetish"!

For instance, from the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon of the short axe type, he only collects the best!

Anything slightly inferior is treated as garbage and discarded.

....

Understand?

One hour, handcrafting an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, makes sense?

Wu Di’s actions also allowed Su Mu to witness the ultimate iron forging prowess!

If one were to ask what "iron forging" looks like at its pinnacle, there is only one answer, and that’s the Wu Di before them!

.....

After replacing the new ax, Wu Di’s face didn’t show any satisfaction; his brows remained furrowed.

It seems, in his world, "satisfaction" is not a word that exists.

His brows were always tightly knit.

He turned his gaze to a short sword nearby, staring at it for a while.

Subsequently, he moved toward the center’s Treasure Pearl, fetched a piece of pitch-black meteorite iron, and strode toward the forge outside.

It appears Wu Di was unsatisfied with the short sword hanging on the wall and planned to craft a more perfect one!

This short sword didn’t even have any flaws Su Mu could point out, yet Wu Di found shortcomings??

Wu Di allowed Su Mu to explore his room, undisturbed, unconcerned that Su Mu might take his possessions. He only cared about the iron block in his hand!

Such a person is generally referred to as an iron "block" fanatic!

....

Seeing Wu Di about to immerse himself in forging again, Su Mu called out to him:

"Brother Wu, wait a moment."

He couldn’t simply wait for Wu Di to continuously forge; although patient, he couldn’t waste all his time!

Upon hearing this, Wu Di stopped, slowly turned around holding the iron block, and said, "What’s up?"
