Chapter 570: Chapter 560: The Strongest Weapon in the Ten Thousand Realms! His Lifelong Wish!

From how Wu Di couldn’t even find any tea, it’s clear he truly doesn’t have many friends!

I might be one of the few friends he has, which is nice. It shows that Wu Di values relationships and isn’t just a social butterfly.

In comparison, Su Mu’s network is broader because he’s made quite a few connections over the years while guarding the river.

...

Wu Di picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Su Mu was stunned. This guy... has he never drunk tea before?!

This isn’t savoring tea; this is guzzling!

After emptying the cup in one gulp, Wu Di felt a bit restless, eager to start forging the next moment.

It was obvious that Wu Di truly never takes a break. Is he a perpetual motion machine??

Doesn’t he get tired?

Su Mu then refilled Wu Di’s empty teacup halfway and said with a smile, "Brother Wu, take a break."

"Let’s chat for around half an hour, it won’t delay your work."

Upon hearing this, Wu Di realized his own rudeness and smiled awkwardly, "Brother Su, sorry about that, I’ve been so used to being busy over the years, I can’t sit still when I have free time."

"It’s okay, being busy is good. I’m usually quite busy too, I’m also someone who can’t remain idle."

After saying that, Su Mu changed the topic and pointed to the treasures hanging on the wall, saying, "Did you create all these weapons by yourself, Brother Wu?"

Hearing this, Wu Di nodded, "Yes."

"Although I’m not very familiar with the Path of Forging, I know a little bit. With such a workload, doesn’t Brother Wu have any Daoist Children to help out?"

"Did you do all this by yourself, Brother Wu?"

Su Mu wanted to understand Wu Di’s specific ability, to gauge his level and see where his limits lay.

Upon hearing this, Wu Di spoke slowly, "Long, long ago, I had taken in three Daoist Children to help me out."

Talking about this, a look of nostalgia appeared on his face. After a pause, he continued, "Later, I found them clumsy, so I just let them go."

"I also taught them some of the Path of Forging, but they were too dull, not talented, and not diligent enough."

Speaking of those three Daoist Children, Wu Di also felt a sense of failing the expectation: "Actually, talent isn’t that important. The main thing is that I felt they weren’t ambitious enough, nor diligent."

"Nonetheless, they did learn a little bit from me, enough to barely make it on their own."

"It’s been so long, I don’t know if they are still alive or settled somewhere. I haven’t paid attention."

After hearing this, Su Mu could immediately imagine the tearful expressions of those three Daoist Children.

Given Wu Di’s character, he definitely had very high, demanding expectations for his Daoist Children.

So, it can be said that the three disciples he once had were certainly not as hopeless as he described; they should have been very outstanding, or they wouldn’t have been able to stay around Wu Di.

....

"So, among all these Magical Treasures, are there any that were forged with the help of those disciples?"

This question is crucial. By understanding this, Su Mu could think about finding good candidates to assist Wu Di.

Hearing this, Wu Di shook his head and said, "No, I created all of them myself."

Because all these treasures were forged by Wu Di after he arrived at the River of Time. Even if he had Daoist Children, they couldn’t follow him to the River of Time and work there long-term.

Even for himself, staying in the River of Time for a long time caused severe repercussions.

Each time his body could barely withstand it, he would find a world to recuperate for hundreds of years, then promptly return to the River of Time to continue forging.

Only in the River of Time, using the water of the Long River to forge and shape iron, can the ultimate weapon be crafted!

However, there is a fatal flaw: he cannot cultivate in the River of Time, as it is a River of Origin. Who can cultivate upon the Origin?

But he’s not bothered by it, as his own strength is already enough. Or should I say... enough for forging.

He’s now pursuing the advancement of the "Path of Forging", aiming to reach the end.

Once upon a time, before coming to the River of Time, he thought he had reached the end of this path and couldn’t see if anyone was walking ahead of him.

But now, since he began crafting weaponry in the River of Time, he realized he hasn’t reached the end; perhaps no one has walked further than him, but there is still a path ahead, and he hasn’t reached the end yet, the road is still there!

His lifelong pursuit now is to create the strongest weapon in the Ten Thousand Realms!

....

But his Path of Forging still lacks something, and most importantly... he doesn’t have the "materials" to support the creation of the strongest weapon.

To craft the strongest artifact in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, the key component is the material.

He has spent many years searching for the strongest and most precious materials, only to end in failure.

Even though his strength is sufficient, he doesn’t know how to find, nor what materials can forge the strongest artifact.

Those most precious "materials" in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, some have long been lost in the vast River of Time, and some are in the hands of the strongest beings.

Looking across the Myriad Realms, there are many top resources, but they are all in the hands of a few people, not to mention the most top-tier resources, constantly contested by the most powerful.

He once participated in the competition, but the resources he contested weren’t suitable for his forging. Besides, participating in these contests could waste tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Therefore, he secluded himself in the River of Time, focusing on forging, continuously breaking through his Path of Forging, preparing to one day forge the strongest Magical Treasure.

....

Upon hearing that all these treasures were crafted by Wu Di alone, Su Mu gasped in awe.

With this notion, having Wu Di alone is like possessing an invincible forging army. One person is enough!

As he prepares to leave the Long River, Su Mu is also gradually building his own team.

His goal is simple; after leaving, to first conquer the Myriad Realms on a small scale!

......

"Among the weapons here, there are two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine pieces. Only that spot is missing one."

"What’s going on...?"

Su Mu pointed to the vacant central spot on the wall and asked Wu Di.

Upon hearing this, Wu Di gazed at the empty spot with a steely determination, murmuring, "That place is reserved for what I envision as the mightiest weapon..."

"But, as of now, I still lack some things to forge it..."
