A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 313

Chapter 313 Sixth-Grade Immortal Artifact Forger

Seeing the Sixth-Grade Immortal Artifact that Wu Zhen’e had forged, Liu Wanying and the others fell into silence.

“Is something wrong? Is the grade of the Immortal Artifact I forged too low?”

Noticing their expressions, Wu Zhen’e asked with some confusion.

“No, no, no. It’s just that we didn’t expect Elder Wu to be able to forge a Sixth-Grade Immortal Artifact so quickly. Judging by the current situation, it’s likely that once Elder Wu breaks through to Immortal Venerable, you’ll be able to forge an Eighth-Grade Immortal Emperor Artifact. And with your talent, you are bound to become an Eighth-Grade Immortal Forging Master within a million years.”

Liu Wanying took a deep breath, his tone both solemn and touched with excitement.

Keep in mind, Wu Zhen’e is still under a thousand years old, yet he has already broken through to Great Luo Golden Immortal. In just less than two and a half years of forging experience, he has managed to create a Sixth-Grade Immortal Artifact.

The talent he has shown can only be described as terrifyingly extraordinary. Even the exceptionally gifted Wanqi Immortal Emperor took a full ten million years to reach the level of Eighth-Grade Immortal Forging Master. Liu Wanying himself took a full one billion years to reach that rank.

But even for them, it took roughly one million years to become Sixth-Grade Forging Masters. After all, for forging masters of higher grades, each step of progress demands unimaginable time and effort.“Is that so? Kind of slow, isn’t it?”

Wu Zhen’e muttered to himself.

In truth, Wu Zhen’e’s goal was to become a God-Tier Artifact Forger by the time he reached Immortal Venerable. Only then could he find a way to refine and elevate the grades of the Five Mystic Pearls within his body, accelerating his cultivation speed.

Although the support of the Five Mystic Pearls was enough to bring him to the God Emperor Realm, the pace would gradually slow down. This was something Wu Zhen’e simply could not accept, so upgrading the grades of the Mystic Pearls as soon as possible was crucial.

Additionally, Wu Zhen’e had started feeling that he could tap into the power of the Five Mystic Pearls. By the time he reached the Immortal King Realm, he would be able to begin harnessing their power in earnest, which would significantly boost his strength.

Though Wu Zhen’e’s words were quiet, Liu Wanying and the others still caught them, and they were instantly stunned. After all, reaching the level of Eighth-Grade Immortal Forging Master in just one million years was an inconceivable speed.

Even the First President took tens of millions of years to become an Eighth-Grade Immortal Forging Master, and currently, there were only five Eighth-Grade Immortal Forging Masters in the Upper Realm, highlighting the rarity of this rank.

Despite all that, Wu Zhen’e still felt the pace was slow. The key point was that Liu Wanying and the others had no way to argue back—Wu Zhen’e’s talent simply couldn’t be denied.

One million years was only their rough estimate; it was entirely possible that Wu Zhen’e’s progression would be much faster than they imagined.

“All right, President Liu, since everything is settled now, I will take my disciple and leave first.”

At that moment, Wanqi Immortal Emperor stood up and spoke.

Hearing this, Liu Wanying nodded, but he soon remembered something and quickly took out a Storage Ring, handing it to Wu Zhen’e.

“Elder Wu, this is your stipend for the next ten thousand years. I also hope you’ll remember to give a lecture at the Forging Masters Association once every ten years.”

“I understand.”

Wu Zhen’e accepted the Storage Ring and nodded in response.

After all, he had promised Liu Wanying to become an Honorary Elder of the Forging Masters Association, so naturally, he wouldn’t refuse.

After taking the Storage Ring, Wu Zhen’e intended to leave with his Master. But just then, a figure suddenly rushed forward and blocked Wanqi Immortal Emperor. Without saying a word, the figure immediately knelt down.

Guo Degen, standing nearby, saw this and his expression changed. He was about to step forward when the kneeling man, Guo Shaogang, looked up at Wanqi Immortal Emperor with a sincere expression and said,

“Senior Wanqi, I have admired you for a long time. I hope you can give me a chance to become your disciple!”

Upon hearing this, Guo Degen abruptly stopped in his tracks, a trace of hope appearing in his eyes as he looked at Wanqi Immortal Emperor. If Wanqi were to agree, it would definitely be a great opportunity for him.

However, Wanqi Immortal Emperor furrowed his brow slightly. After carefully examining Guo Shaogang, he slowly shook his head and said,

“I no longer take disciples. The only reason I accepted Wu Zhen’e was because of his terrifying talent. Not accepting him would have been a huge loss to the entire forging community. But you are different. Your talent is limited; it is very likely you will only reach the Eighth-Grade Immortal Forging Master level in this lifetime, so I will not take you as my disciple.”

“Furthermore, I cannot offer you guidance. Your father, along with Liu Wanying, already provides sufficient forging instruction for you.”

Hearing Wanqi Immortal Emperor’s words, Guo Shaogang’s faint hope immediately died, but there was nothing he could do. He had already anticipated this; it was just a shattered dream.

Yet Guo Shaogang did not respond with anger. Instead, he said with a look of disappointment,

“Thank you, Senior Wanqi. I understand.”

Just then, Wu Zhen’e spoke up.

“Master, why not accept him?”

“Eh?”

Everyone present instinctively turned to look at Wu Zhen’e with a hint of surprise on their faces. After all, he had no connection with Guo Shaogang, and Wu Zhen’e didn’t seem like a sanctimonious type who would speak up on Guo Shaogang’s behalf.

However, Wanqi Immortal Emperor showed no change in expression because of Wu Zhen’e’s words and instead asked with some curiosity,

“Why?”

“Master, right now there’s no one else in the dojo except for you and me, which makes it lack vitality. Bringing Guo Shaogang in would add some life to the dojo. Furthermore, since you often need to enter seclusion, leaving me alone to focus on artifact forging is too exhausting. Taking Guo Shaogang as a junior disciple would give me a fellow apprentice, which would actually help me delve deeper into artifact forging,” Wu Zhen’e said seriously as he looked at Wanqi Immortal Emperor.

But in reality, Wu Zhen’e wasn’t bored because his Master went into seclusion. After all, reaching the rank of Great Luo Golden Immortal meant long periods of solitude were normal. His real goal was to have his Master accept a disciple so the Wanqi Sect could be revived. Once Guo Shaogang was accepted, wouldn’t taking a second disciple be much easier?

Hearing this, Wanqi Immortal Emperor fell into deep thought, causing Guo Shaogang’s heart to once again hang in suspense.

After a long moment, Wanqi Immortal Emperor sighed and slowly said,

“Kid, consider yourself lucky. Originally, I had no intention of taking on any disciples, but since my disciple has spoken up, from today forward you will study by my side. At the same time, I’m giving you a deadline: if you cannot become a Sixth-Grade Immortal Artifact Forger within one million years, then I will expel you from the sect.”

“Disciple Guo Shaogang pays respects to Master and greets Senior Brother!”

Guo Shaogang’s heart filled with joy as he quickly knelt to pay homage to Wanqi Immortal Emperor. He then turned to Wu Zhen’e and spoke with utmost respect.

However, Guo Shaogang’s feelings were mixed. He hadn’t expected his Senior Brother to show no anger over the near disruption he caused earlier and, even more surprisingly, to generously speak up on his behalf.

At this moment, Wu Zhen’e had already taken an extremely important place in Guo Shaogang’s heart. If anything were to happen to Wu Zhen’e in the future, Guo Shaogang was willing to risk his life to help him.
