Chapter 577: Chapter 567: Tracing Coordinates, Accompanying the Ten Thousand Realms!

Upon hearing this, Wu Di fell silent for a long time, but still chose to speak the truth.

"I can’t do without the Coordinate Bone."

"There is no other substitute."

"Or, we may find another set of coordinates"

"Or perhaps, in this world, there might be treasures that can replace the Coordinate Bone, but such things are beyond my knowledge. Specifically, what they are, I do not know."

At this point, Wu Di paused and then continued, "This weapon is also made specifically for you, Brother Su."

In fact, saying these words was also to make Su Mu understand that he was not doing this for himself, and he wanted Su Mu to consider it more carefully.

"Tell me about the third requirement first."

Su Mu skipped over it first and asked about the third requirement.

"The third requirement is..... during the forging process, I might cause some anomalies, or there might be interference from others."

"My idea is... to see if Brother Su can protect me as much as possible."

"Not to have Brother Su guard here, just hope that Brother Su can help if I encounter a situation I cannot handle."

Hearing this, Su Mu nodded, saying, "This is not a problem."

For Su Mu, this was not a difficult task. With his divine sense covering the area, he could be immediately aware of any situation arising here, and arrive at the scene in no time.

Plus, with himself standing on Long River, unless facing an enemy with overwhelming power, he stands in an unbeatable position,

"Regarding the Coordinate Bone, I will find a second one for you."

"Is the Coordinate Bone necessary? What role does it serve?" Su Mu asked in detail. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Upon hearing this, Wu Di slowly said, "It’s the Artifact Spirit."

"Using the Coordinate Bone as the Artifact Spirit does not harm its life, but...." At this point, Wu Di paused.

"Go on, it’s okay."

"It’s just that after becoming the Artifact Spirit, it is no longer a free being, destined to be an Artifact Spirit forever." Wu Di replied.

Upon hearing this, Su Mu was silent for a long time, then said, "So, you just need to find a creature not weaker than the Coordinate Bone as an Artifact Spirit, and that’s enough?"

"Yes...." Wu Di nodded.

As for whether there exists in the world a better "Artifact Spirit" than the Coordinate Bone, Wu Di also doesn’t know, as it’s beyond his realm of understanding.

...

"Apart from these, is there anything else needed?" Su Mu asked.

"No, everything else, Brother Su doesn’t need to worry about, I’ve prepared everything." Wu Di replied.

...

"I will think about the Artifact Spirit issue separately."

"In that case, I won’t disturb you. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave."

Su Mu cupped his fists and then left the place.

After Su Mu left, Wu Di watched Su Mu’s figure disappear at the end of the river path.

Then, he turned around to look at the forging platform in front of him, a flash of resolute determination in his eyes.

Now, the conditions that he lacked, Brother Su has fulfilled for him.

He certainly would not fail Brother Su’s expectations; he must craft the strongest weapon, not only to fulfill his lifelong desire but also to repay Brother Su.

If it weren’t for Brother Su, he wouldn’t know how many more years he would need to strive, or even whether he could have stable forging conditions.

Anyway, imbuing the Artifact Spirit is the final step of the process.

So, he began with forging.

He also believed that Brother Su could find something more suitable than the Coordinate Bone.

All in all, he would do his utmost, and at that time, it would be up to Brother Su to decide whether to use the Coordinate Bone or seek something else...

...

Su Mu walked on the water surface, thinking as he went back.

He turned his head to look at the Transparent Fish following behind him, and after a long moment, he withdrew his gaze.

No matter what, he had already formed a contract with this little creature; it followed him, and it was a living being. Su Mu could not bear to use it for forging.

Moreover, although it wouldn’t harm its life, becoming an Artifact Spirit would be akin to eternal imprisonment.

Even though he also anticipated what surprises Wu Di might bring him, at the very least, Su Mu couldn’t bring himself to sacrifice his own Spirit Pet.

After all, it’s just a weapon, and Su Mu was confident he could reach the peak even without it.

After pondering for a while, Su Mu decided to find a new Artifact Spirit. Even if it wasn’t perfect, it didn’t matter.

To Su Mu, an Artifact Spirit could be dispensable.

......

"Go."

"Don’t dwell on our recent conversation."

"I told you, since you followed me, I wouldn’t wrong you."

Su Mu said with a smile to the Transparent Fish that was following behind him.

Upon hearing this, the Transparent Fish gave Su Mu a deep glance, its thoughts unknown, and then dove into the water, vanishing beneath the riverbed sand....

Within just a few breaths of time, it left that stretch of water.

.....

The sky was still early, so Su Mu didn’t hurry home; instead, he turned and headed in a certain direction.

Half an hour later.

Su Mu arrived at a Purple Bamboo Forest, and after passing through it, he was greeted by a headless man carrying a bucket of water.

Upon seeing Su Mu, the headless man set down the bucket and bowed, making way for Su Mu.

......

When he came to the pavilion, just about to knock on the door, it opened automatically.

Inside, Elder Bai Mei was sitting in the courtyard. Upon seeing Su Mu, Elder Bai Mei stood up and gestured invitingly, "Brother Su, welcome."

"Please, have a seat."

After Su Mu sat down, he noticed that Elder Bai Mei had already made tea for him, rich in aroma, as if it had been brewed for a while.

Seeing this, Su Mu smiled and asked, "Did Brother Yang know I was coming?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Bai Mei shook his head, smiling, "No, since Brother Su left last time, whenever I make tea, I habitually brew two pots, always waiting for Brother Su to visit."

It must be said, Elder Bai Mei has mastered the art of language to perfection.

In fact, since Su Mu took the "coordinates" away, Elder Bai Mei anticipated that Su Mu would come looking for him again.

He just didn’t expect it to be so soon.

It seemed Su Mu had realized the importance and uniqueness of the "coordinates."

"It seems, Brother Yang guessed I would come to you."

"Brother Yang truly has profound foresight."

Su Mu wasn’t clueless; he could understand Elder Bai Mei’s thoughts clearly.

"Then does Brother Yang know why I’m here to find you this time?" Su Mu raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Elder Bai Mei gently sipped a bit of tea, placing the cup back on the table, looking at Su Mu earnestly, "If my guess is correct, Brother Su, your visit this time...."

"Should be because of that fish...."

"The Transparent Fish you took from me."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu was taken aback and smiled, "Then it seems Brother Yang already has the answer in mind."
