A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 309

Chapter 309 Showing Off When You Have Disciples

“Master, is it really necessary to go to the Forging Masters Association for the assessment?”

Looking at the bustling crowd outside, Wu Zhen’e asked with some confusion.

Wanqi Immortal Emperor slowly shook his head, then said,

“You don’t understand. If you want to go further in the path of forging, it’s best to establish good relations with the Forging Masters Association. Some rare materials are only in the hands of the forging masters. Moreover, joining the Forging Masters Association is the fastest way for you to make a name for yourself, which will greatly help you gather forging materials in the future.”

Hearing this, Wu Zhen’e finally nodded. Actually, he wanted to say that the Wu Commerce Association behind him was already the largest guild in the entire Upper Realm and wasn’t lacking in forging materials at all. But since his master had chosen this path, it wouldn’t do to embarrass him by objecting.

Soon, under the guidance of Wanqi Immortal Emperor, Wu Zhen’e arrived at the largest town in the Upper Realm—Fallenless City.

After arriving in Fallenless City, Wu Zhen’e’s expression gradually grew serious. Rare Mortal World Immortals, who were extremely rare elsewhere, were common here. It was even possible that anyone he accidentally bumped into on the street was a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

This gave Wu Zhen’e a clearer sense of his current cultivation level—he still wasn’t strong enough.

Before long, Wu Zhen’e followed his master to a massive building with five large characters carved above its entrance: Forging Masters Association.

Upon seeing those five large characters, Wu Zhen’e’s breathing suddenly faltered. It was as if he had a sudden realization—he immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and began to refine (his understanding).

Wanqi Immortal Emperor, watching this scene, also couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise,

“You’re one lucky guy. I never expected that the things left behind by the Forging Masters Association’s first president were actually real.”

At the same time Wu Zhen’e closed his eyes and began to refine, the two Great Luo Golden Immortal guards standing at the entrance of the Forging Masters Association naturally saw this too. Their expressions changed noticeably. After exchanging a glance, one of them turned and walked into the Forging Masters Association. Wanqi Immortal Emperor noticed this but didn’t intervene; he guessed the president of the Forging Masters Association would be coming out soon.

At that moment, Wu Zhen’e was deeply immersed in his insights about the path of forging. The moment he saw those five characters, an intense forging aura flooded into his mind.

Everything has its own inherent intent or spirit, though the strength of it varies. The intent preserved in the name of the Forging Masters Association was exceptionally strong, so as soon as Wu Zhen’e saw the name, he began to perceive and absorb this energy.

Meanwhile, inside the Forging Masters Association, President Liu Wanying was in the forging chamber, completely alone. His entire body was engulfed in Immortal Fire, with a temperature beyond countless trillions, yet even such terrifying heat only caused Liu Wanying to sweat lightly.

Liu Wanying was wielding a massive hammer. Each time the hammer struck, it unleashed terrifying power on a piece of Immortal Gold that shimmered with seven-colored light. Watching from outside, the elders of the Forging Masters Association couldn’t help but feel stirred and excited.

“This is the president’s ninety-ninth attempt to break through to become a Ninth-Grade Forging Master. If he succeeds this time, our Forging Masters Association will be forever renowned, claiming the Upper Realm’s very first Ninth-Grade Forging Master.”

“This time is also the most promising yet. As long as the forging takes shape, and the Immortal runes are successfully carved, the Nine-grade Immortal Emperor Artifact will be complete, and the president will have become a Ninth-Grade Forging Master.”

But just as the Elders were watching eagerly with excited expressions, the Immortal Artifact that Liu Wanying was forging inside suddenly trembled without warning and then exploded outright.

If it weren’t for Liu Wanying’s quick reaction, he might have also been affected by the blast of the Immortal Gold explosion.

The Elders outside fell into silence after witnessing this. It wasn’t until Liu Wanying pushed open the door of the forging chamber and slowly walked out that they spoke again.

“Alright, why the faces? It’s just a failure. It doesn’t mean I haven’t had any new insights. One more try, and This Seat should be able to become a Ninth-Grade Forging Master,” Liu Wanying said, noticing the expressions on the Elders’ faces and speaking calmly.

But the Elders looked up, their faces tinged with bitterness as they said, “President, you said the same thing last time.”

“Ahem, the last time was an accident. This time is different. Once I summarize the reasons for this failure and improve my spiritual strength, I should be able to complete forging the Nine-grade Immortal Emperor Artifact next time,” Liu Wanying coughed to mask his inner embarrassment but spoke with a calm, unshaken demeanor.

The Elders could only offer a few perfunctory words wishing the President good luck; after all, this was already the ninety-ninth time the President had said he would succeed next time.

Just then, a figure hurriedly approached Liu Wanying, knelt on one knee, and said, “President, there’s an urgent matter.”

“What is it? Speak quickly,” Liu Wanying replied impatiently, still angry. Seeing that the visitor was an Initial Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, he waved his hand dismissively.

The Initial Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal guard wasn’t offended and quickly continued, “President, it seems that someone at the gate of our Forging Masters Association has gained an understanding of the forging secrets left behind by the first President.”

“Understanding? So what? What did you say?” Liu Wanying was about to respond but suddenly froze, his disbelief apparent as he repeated, “President, it really seems like someone at the entrance has grasped the forging secrets left by the first President.”

“I understand!”

As soon as the Initial Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal guard finished speaking, Liu Wanying, disregarding his earlier failure, quickly set off toward the entrance.

The Elders present were momentarily stunned, but they soon recovered and hurried after him.

Meanwhile, at the gate of the Forging Masters Association, Wu Zhen’e’s moment of insight had reached its most critical point. Wanqi Immortal Emperor stood beside him, ensuring he wouldn’t be disturbed by anyone.

However, the fate of the Child of Destiny was such that disruptions were inevitable.

Not far away, a group of Initial Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivators crowded around a young man, flattering him.

“Young Master, you’ve already become a Third-Rank Immortal Forging Master at such a young age. Today you’re even beginning to push for the Fourth-Rank. If you succeed, you will become the youngest Fourth-Rank Immortal Forging Master in Upper Realm history.”

“What kind of talk is that? ‘If’? Isn’t it already certain that Young Master will become a Fourth-Rank Immortal Forging Master? I’d like to congratulate you in advance.”

“Young Master, when you take off, don’t forget about us.”

The young man surrounded by the Great Luo Golden Immortals couldn’t hide the smile tugging at the corners of his lips.He was Guo Shaogang, the son of Guo Degen, Vice President of the Forging Masters Association. Despite his young age—nearly fifty thousand years old—he had already achieved the rank of Third-Rank Immortal Forging Master. If he succeeded in his breakthrough today, he would become an even more extraordinary talent than President Liu Wanying. Given time, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to replace Liu Wanying and become the new head of the Forging Masters Association.
