Chapter 1511 - 1215: The Artifact Is Complete
Chapter 1511: Chapter 1215: The Artifact Is Complete
Miracle Workshop, on the rooftop of the first research institute of the Array Path.
Not only were Wen Zhong and Duan Tianzhi present, but also Master Mo River of the Yan Court’s Artifact Path, along with over ten other Refining Masters above the rank of Grandmaster.
And on the stone platform in front of the group of Refining Masters lay a jade box, sealed and emanating a purple light.
Mo River looked at the jade box and said, "There hasn’t been a new Holy Artifact in Yan Court for decades... Old Wen, this is the fourth Holy Artifact you’ve personally crafted."
At this moment, Wen Zhong’s face was pale, his hair disheveled, looking extremely withered, yet his eyes were gleaming with unusual excitement.
"Hahaha... cough, cough!" Wen Zhong barely let out two laughs before succumbing to a bout of coughing.
Duan Tianzhi quickly supported Wen Zhong, speaking seriously, "Master, perhaps you should go back and rest? You’ve exhausted too much of your Essence Qi and Spirit."
"How can I leave at this time? A moment longer won’t hurt!"
Wen Zhong waved off Duan Tianzhi’s support, turned to Mo River, and said, "Thanks to Royal Envoy Su bringing back the Taixu Immortal Gold and various treasures, otherwise it would have been difficult to craft such a Holy Artifact!"
Though Wen Zhong’s face was tired and pale, it was full of satisfaction and a gratifying smile.
For a Taidou level Artifact Refiner, crafting Star Devices is not merely for others, but also for the pursuit of their own "craftsmanship."
Crafting Star Devices is extremely energy-consuming, and the amount of dedication required to craft a Holy Artifact is beyond imagination.
Therefore, at the Taidou level, they often are reluctant to take action unless necessary; it’s better not to refine anything than to create something that doesn’t meet their expectations!
Now with disasters looming, everyone in Great Flame is preparing for battle, and of course, the Miracle Workshop cannot stand idly by.
With such an innate divine item as Taixu Immortal Gold, and the commission from the genius of the Sky Patrol Department who severed myriad demons with his sword...
The timing, geographic, and human factors were all aligned. Wen Zhong took up the task again after many years, dedicating all his energy into crafting this treasure, marking the pinnacle of his Artifact Refining career!
At his current age, it’s unlikely he’ll have another chance to craft a better Star Device in the future.
The rest of the Refining Masters hearing this all felt a deep respect and admiration for Wen Zhong, their eyes also showing a hint of envy.
Mo River also felt a silent envy. Such a fortuitous treasure as Taixu Immortal Gold is indeed something one can only stumble upon by chance.
Just then, Mo River looked up ahead, his eyes slightly moving, "He’s here."
A young man in black robes, with silver hair and silver eyes, stepped into the void, ascending step by step, landing before them in an instant.
"Royal Envoy Su."
Wen Zhong and Mo River were the first to cup their hands in greeting, followed by the bow of over ten remaining Grandmasters.
Su Yuan returned the greeting, "Master Wen, Master Mo."
"Royal Envoy Su, glad I didn’t fail the mission!" Upon seeing Su Yuan, Wen Zhong immediately perked up, stepping forward eagerly to bring Su Yuan to the stone platform, "The Holy Artifact is completed. The envoy only needs to use your Star Power to activate the seal for this treasure to be revealed to the world!"
Wen Zhong’s expression was elated, filled with pride and confidence in his work, eager to showcase it to Su Yuan, and to his fellow colleagues.
Mo River, Duan Tianzhi, and the ten Grandmasters behind them were all equally excited and expectant, gathered here to witness the birth of another Holy Artifact within Yan Court after so many years!
As for Su Yuan himself, he was even more eagerly anticipating the rebirth and transformation of the Heavenly Lock.
However, upon seeing Wen Zhong’s evident fatigue yet unusual excitement, Su Yuan first turned around solemnly and bowed respectfully towards him:
"Master Wen, Grandmaster Duan, thank you both for refining this treasure for me!"
A Legendary Holy Artifact is not something that can be easily crafted in just one or two months.
The reason it was done so quickly is because Wen Zhong also entered the Sunrise Sunset One Year Array set by Yan Court to conduct the refinement.
To reforge the Heavenly Lock, it took a total of three full years, and the amount of dedication involved is hard to imagine!
What’s more, considering Wen Zhong’s advanced age?
Even with his disciple Duan Tianzhi assisting him, and the spirit pills and potions from Yan Court nurturing his body and replenishing his Essence Qi, Wen Zhong had already reached his limit.
At this moment, faced with Su Yuan’s gesture of respect, both Wen Zhong and Duan Tianzhi’s expressions changed, quickly bowing in return to Su Yuan.
"How could we accept such a grand gesture from the envoy? My mentor and I are honored to have the opportunity to forge this treasure for the envoy!"
Even before the preparation phase of Artifact Refining, Wen Zhong and Duan Tianzhi had heard from within the Sky Patrol Department about Su Yuan’s legendary exploits in the Southern Continent, saving the Taishang, slaying countless demons, and closing off escape routes!
Even if it couldn’t be said that he single-handedly changed the situation in the Southern Continent, his repeated actions undoubtedly played an irreplaceable role!
Even if it wasn’t required by Yan Court, having the opportunity to craft a Star Device for such a remarkable individual is already a fortunate event, let alone Su Yuan bringing along an abundance of precious materials, including Taixu Immortal Gold.
Wen Zhong sighed inwardly, not only admiring his strength and achievements but also that despite his young age, achieving such astounding success, he still remained humble and sincere in treating others...
This kind of character left Wen Zhong in awe, no longer viewing him as a young rising star.
"Envoy, please proceed to open it!" Wen Zhong smiled and urged.
Su Yuan nodded slightly, raised his hand to grasp the sealed jade box on the stone platform, immediately causing some spirit light to spread from his palm onto the brocade box.
"Buzz...!"
As if sensing the familiar aura of its owner, the brocade box began to tremble, "Dong dong dong..." as if something inside was eagerly trying to break free.
Su Yuan chuckled softly and with a wave of his hand, opened the brocade box.
"Swish!"
A brilliant golden light shot up to the sky, flashing straight into the void, disappearing without a trace!
