Chapter 460: Chapter 303: Snatching the Fire Seed!_2

At the other end of Taixuan Divine Mountain, the Human Clan had barely managed to secure their footing. While not flourishing abundantly, their situation was comparable to the current era’s Qifeng Prefecture.

Lord Qingling, using the Divine Bow left by the Ancient Old Gods, exchanged it for a massive amount of resources to construct a Blessed Land and invited people of various factions who were refugees in the Pure Land to shelter them.

On the other side of Taixuan Divine Mountain, the envoy who set out to retrieve the Divine Bow gathered people from various factions across the Three Prefecture to witness the marvel of the Divine Bow and attempted to replicate it.

Among these diverse factions of the Human Clan, there were no lack of individuals skilled in creating weapons who were considered grandmasters in their craft.

Yet, when it came to replicating the Divine Bow, all were at a loss.

In the end, it was an artisan engaged in constructing the Skyfire Divine Palace who, while working outside and peeping more carefully, suddenly had a brilliant idea.

It was this seemingly absurd yet brilliant idea that allowed those who claimed to be masters of Artifact Refining to break through their longstanding limitations on Artifact Refining, to collaboratively create a new bow.

The power of this new bow was only slightly lesser than that of the Ancient Divine Bow.

"The weapons forged by future generations that reached the ’Divine Weapon’ tier are few and far between, and this Divine Bow... is among them."

Mr. Lu stroked his beard and said, "Just as through ancient to modern times, our understanding has always been about refining the essence to harness qi, and refining qi to transform into godhood!"

"In the Holy Land, generations of exceptional individuals, their wisdom reaching the heavens, attempted to address the hidden dangers in the path of cultivation, all to no avail!"

"Because their understanding was always confined to ’Qi Refining and God Transformation.’ Even with their high intelligence, they were merely following the paths of predecessors, attempting improvements, thereby perfecting it."

"They never considered overthrowing the predecessors’ path of cultivation, breaking the fixed direction of cultivation."

Speaking thus, Mr. Lu continued, "Of course, it’s not that within the Holy Land, there haven’t been proposals of ’Creating first, then Refining God’."

"However, the Landscaping Technique, which cannot be completed without the Primordial Spirit, appears, on the surface, to be hopeless. Thus, focusing on the presumption of ’Creating first, then Refining God’ seems likely to waste effort."

"Following the path of our forebears, standing on the shoulders of our predecessors to perfect the existing path of cultivation indeed seems, on the surface, to be the most correct path."

Following Mr. Lu’s words, Lv Tang couldn’t help but express his emotions.

Regarding the new method proposed by Lin Yan, there are several reasons why Mr. Lu is convinced.

First was Lord Qingling’s final divination before dissipating.

Second was the actions of the lady in red.

Third was Lin Yan’s encounters after entering the Netherworld.

All signs indicated that there was a feasible chance for Lin Yan’s path.

Before this, even Mr. Lu had never imagined the direction of ’Creating first, then Refining God’."

"Without the Primordial Spirit, relying solely on the power of the soul to create the Inner Realm Divine Domain is also our current most challenging step."

Mr. Lu sighed and said,"Working in isolation is ultimately challenging. Collective brainstorming is the right way."

"This journey to the Holy Land, apart from escorting the shackles and the keys, I also seek to learn from the Holy Land!"

"If we can obtain, from within the Holy Land, the various insights on creating ’new methods’ by generations of exceptional individuals, perhaps there would be a way."

"Although they have all failed, that is still an extremely valuable experience!"

——

The sun was directly overhead, past midday.

But at this moment, in the eastern direction, a figure was seen approaching steadily.

Peak of the Qi Refining Realm in cultivation.

The newcomer carried an extraordinary air, with a long beard reaching his chest, presenting quite an imposing figure.

His appearance suggested he was about forty years old.

"..."

Lin Yan and the others all looked toward the direction of the newcomer.

Fu Zhong was the first to go up to meet him.

The newcomer stopped his steps and stared at Fu Zhong who had come up to him, displaying a complex expression.

"What about the arm?"

"It’s severed, the yin energy corroded it, and it couldn’t be reattached." Fu Zhong touched his severed arm, laughed, but seemed quite relaxed.

"Look at you now, if it had been earlier, losing this arm and consequently, your path to Refining God, you probably would have killed yourself," the visitor shook his head slightly and said, "It seems you have grown quite a bit."

"I’m ashamed, I once thought about fighting you for the position of East Mountain Prefecture Master," Fu Zhong said with self-mockery in his tone.

"If you still want it, the position of Prefectural Master, I wouldn’t mind giving it to you," the man said softly, stroking his beard.

"Forget it," Fu Zhong sighed, "I used to think this position was highly prestigious, commanding a prefecture, intimidating all around, with limitless prospects! But now..."

"Realization now is not too late."

The visitor laughed heartily, a trace of self-mockery on his face as he said, "Before I took office, the Saint Master had warned me that this position was never meant to be glamorous or easy, but a constant readiness to die for the Human Clan! The previous Prefecture Master was truly deserving, and these days, I’ve always been restless, uneasy, afraid of tarnishing the legacy of the Prestigious Prefecture Masters of the past!"

On hearing this, Fu Zhong frowned and said, "Speaking of which, now that the Prefectural Master is dead, you should be consolidating the various powers within the Prefecture City in your hands to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands... Why have you come here?"

"If someone wants to undermine me, or even take away my position as Prefecture Master, that might not be a bad thing... Unfortunately, that Observatory Commander of East Mountain Prefecture insisted on stabilising the Prefecture City for me, not letting factions seize power, which is rather annoying!"

The visitor spread his hands and added, "The altar I was ordered to build by the Prefectural Master suddenly malfunctioned, failed to summon the Fire Seed, so I made a trip here!"

Fu Zhong hesitated for a moment but eventually told the truth about the Fire Seed.

On hearing this, the visitor pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since that’s the case, it’s all up to Master Wu Chang’s plans."

As he said this, his gaze shifted forward and stated, "The prime youth of Qifeng Prefecture? It seems... in the Three Prefectures, none of the younger generation can compare to him."

As his voice fell, he moved past Fu Zhong, heading forward.

The people of East Mountain Prefecture looked at each other, then stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

"Greetings to the Prefectural Master!"

"Rise."

The newly appointed Prefectural Master had a complex expression as he slightly raised his hand, then turned to Mr. Lu, greeting, "The junior Xu Changyi, born in the first lineage of the Holy Land, former chief law elder, and now fortunate to assume the position of East Mountain Prefectural Master!"

"Lord Xu, you flatter us," Mr. Lu returned the gesture.

Then the new Prefectural Master turned to Lin Yan and said solemnly, "This must be Master Wu Chang?"

"Wu Chang, greetings to the Prefectural Master,"

Lin Yan stood up, wasting no words; he reached into his robe, pulled out an item, and passed it over, "This is the Fire Seed entrusted by the old Prefectural Master before his death."

Xu Changyi was momentarily startled, then said, "Since it was entrusted to Master Wu Chang, you don’t plan to use it yourself now? This is an opportunity to ascend to the Refining God Realm!"

Lin Yan’s expression was solemn as he said, "I believe the East Mountain Prefecture needs the legacy of the Fire Seed more."

Xu Changyi’s eyes showed more respect upon hearing this, but he unceremoniously took the Fire Seed.

Then he said, "The old Prefectural Master compiled a list, a batch of resources for city building will soon be sent to Qifeng Prefecture, to be handled by Master Wu Chang."

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "The old Prefectural Master had also an artifact of the Ancient Gods, originally intended for his descendants, but after successfully sealing the Forbidden Land, entrusted it to me, to pass on to Master Wu Chang."

He reached into his robe, pulled out a wooden box, and presented it with both hands.

Seeing this, Lin Yan’s expression lifted slightly.

Though the Fire Seed was returned, he received an artifact of the Ancient God.

"All these were gifts from the old Prefectural Master to Master Wu Chang. As for me, the new Prefectural Master, it wouldn’t be right to come empty-handed..."

Xu Changyi said with a smile, "The contributions of everyone to East Mountain Prefecture are immense, whatever you need, feel free to ask. As long as it is within my power, I will not hesitate."

Lin Yan thought for a moment, then said, "I would like collections of sword skills and movement techniques, the more the better!"

Xu Changyi was somewhat surprised, but did not ask further, agreeing, "That should not be difficult, I’ll immediately order someone to handle it. Once everything is organized, it will all be sent to Qifeng Prefecture, to be handled by Master Wu Chang."

As his voice fell, the distant sound of angry shouts was heard.

Suddenly, several figures appeared, their killing intent fierce.

"Xu Changyi, return our clan’s treasure!"

"Take back the Fire Seed!"

"Kill them!"
