“Xie Zheng.”
Gu Shen gently spoke, his voice echoing in the quiet room deep within the dojo.
Xie Zheng, who was forging a sword embryo with his soul, suddenly paused.
This is the Second Judge’s Dojo!
Ordinary outsiders simply have no qualifications to enter, and there are several sealed artifact barriers enveloping this place… In Changye, only a few can easily break through these barriers and send their thoughts!
“Mr. Xiao Gu?”
Xie Zheng excitedly raised his head, instantly guessing who the visitor was.
“It’s me.”
Gu Shen took a step forward, smiling as he appeared in the quiet room.
In the dim room, sparks flew and gradually settled.
The flat sword embryo emitted waves of fiery red under Xie Zheng’s soul fire.
Gu Shen looked at it and smiled with praise, “This sword is excellent.”
Though merely a sword embryo, it faintly emanated a murderous aura.
If forged into shape and infused with origin power,
it would at least be a high-quality S-grade sealed artifact!
When Gu Shen took Xie Zheng under his wing initially, he did not provide much substantial help, but the “Forging Master” profession was highly sought after. The Five Families maintained excellent relationships with Xie Zheng.
Just take this sealed artifact as an example.
Once this sword is complete, the Five Families will compete to seize it. Such a sealed artifact can significantly enhance the top fighting power within a family!
With the “Forging Inheritance,” Xie Zheng’s status in Snow Forbidden City is now extremely transcendent!
But he always remains clear-headed, never arrogant, reflecting on himself daily.
Xie Zheng is a poor young man who crawled out from the pile of dead in the Tundra, facing both adversity and luck along the way.
He knows that although he “has some skills,” the Five Families have treated him kindly all these years mainly because of Gu Shen’s influence!
He was personally safeguarded by Gu Shen as a genius, and just because of this, no one dares to cause him trouble.
“Master, why have you come?”
Xie Zheng quickly stood up to welcome him.
He hasn’t seen Gu Shen in a long time.
He even suspected… Mr. Xiao Gu might have already forgotten his cheap disciple.
“The previous war was too busy, I couldn’t find the time.”
Gu Shen smiled and said, “Actually, I’ve been watching your movements in Changye. Xie Zheng, you’ve worked hard these years.”
Forging sealed artifacts for the Five Families is not an easy task.
He could see that Xie Zheng’s soul hadn’t rested in a long time.
The blacksmith conjured by his soul fire seemed majestic and upright but actually exuded a faint “weariness”…
Perhaps, this is the reason why Xie Zheng’s Heart Flow Power has progressed so rapidly?
Give Xie Zheng a quiet dojo, and he can immerse himself in forging for years, without sleep or rest.
I have to admit, this guy is indeed the best inheritor of the “Forging Inheritance,” Mr. Turing’s choice has always been precise!
“…”
Xie Zheng froze for a second.
Though in the quiet room, Xie Zheng has always been aware of external events!
These years have been turbulent with war and unrest.
He’s not good at warfare, so he continually sends newly forged sealed artifacts to the front lines through the forging inheritance he bears… Now the war has finally ended, and Changye has regained peace and tranquility these past few days!
This is all because of his master!
“Master…”
Xie Zheng’s eyes faintly reddened, he whispered, “I’m not tired, you are.”
“Tsk.”
Another voice sounded in the quiet room.
Luo Er casually spoke, “I can’t stand this scene, the battle is over, is this really necessary?”
Only then did Xie Zheng notice another vague figure behind Gu Shen, standing in the shadow of the quiet room, indistinct in silhouette.
This scene made the hairs on his back stand up.
He’s not skilled in combat, but his only strength is spiritual power, allowing him to perform soul scrying across realms.
Yet the figure before him is like a Black Hole.
No matter how much spirit he sends, it vanishes without a trace!
“This is my senior sister.”
Gu Shen helplessly spoke, smiling, “Titled ‘Tiantong,’ you must have heard of her?”
“Tiantong Shibo.”
Xie Zheng immediately responded very obediently.
Tiantong? Of course, he’s heard! A legendary figure within the Judgement Institute! Together with Mr. Zhou Jiren, they ventured into Moon City Fortress, sacrificing their great transcendent for the human cause!
Over the years, their black-and-white portraits hung in the Judgement Institute, presumed “felled in action.”
Until Gu Shen returned from the [Old World], confirming these three were “alive”!
Most importantly…
Tiantong Luo Er displayed her “spark” to the World Council, the “Valley Spark” from the Starship Civilization Era!
The quiet room was extremely still, Xie Zheng seemed to hear the sound of his own heartbeat at this moment!
Thump thump! Thump thump!
So… standing before him now are two Divine Thrones?
“Alright, there’s no need to be tense.”
Gu Shen noticed Xie Zheng’s spirit was taut, he smiled and said, “We’re all family.”
Though he said this, how could Xie Zheng truly relax?
He suddenly recalled Gu Shen’s seemingly casual praise earlier, cautiously looking at the fiery red sword embryo, and tentatively asked, “Master… if you like this sword, once it’s finished, I’ll personally deliver it to you.”
“No need.”
Gu Shen shook his head.
The previous praise was genuine but carried no additional meaning.
With his current status, does he still need sealed artifacts?
“When a master visits a disciple, there’s no reason for the latter to present gifts.”
Gu Shen softly said, “It’s well known, I’m a person with a wandering nature, drifting beyond the Five Continents all these years, never truly teaching you anything… In fact, what I can teach is limited. For these reasons, I hardly deserve for you to call me ‘master.'”
