Dual Cultivation God Returns-Chapter 499 Forging

?Wu Long arrived at the Peak of Unity and immediately received a sound transmission from Lian Zhiqiu guiding him to a secret passage leading down into the very core of the peak and the mountain itself.

It did not take long for him to reach her standing on a large floating stone platform of a circular shape that did not look that big when viewed in comparison to the room.

The whole underground hall was a gigantic cylinder with two giant formation circles on its ceiling and floor, and complex patterns and symbols completely covering the walls.

There were similar stone platforms floating above and below the one Lian Zhiqiu stood on, each with an identical to each other array circle on the bottom, and a unique one on the top.

This was the Grand Formation Wu Long admired, as each platform served as it's own separate formation, simultaneously being an additional block of the overall Grand Formation, the structure of which constantly adapted and changed the way Lian Zhiqiu needed it to.

There were spatial rings in the walls, holding more platforms which were either older versions of the currently active ones, or formations serving specific purposes she did not need constantly active.

"I see you have already made it... I thought you said you were only going to try"

He chuckled as he saw the Forging Array he requested already operating on the platform she was currently standing on as it was synchronized with the Grand Formation all around them.

"Hahaha, I got slightly carried away, but I think I succeeded"

"You indeed did succeed"

Wu Long nodded with a smile as he hugged the beauty whose eyes were lit with excitement and gave her a kiss.

"Hehe... try it, try it!"

She then urged him with a glint in her eyes and he smiled, letting go of her and retrieving a spear with a small crack in it's blade.

"Let's try this one first"

He chuckled as the array which emitted a subtle yellowish glow began lighting up with a bright orange light, and the spear he let go of floated to the center while a few rocks he took out next flew toward it and started floating around the spear blade.

Wu Long concentrated, and his figure reflected in Lian Zhiqiu's eyes then made rapid hand seals, flames coming out from four specific spots of the array under their feet, streaming toward the center, then connecting into a giant ball of flames above the spear and rocks, visibly increasing in intensity but not size by the second.

And then, as his hand seals changed while the whole Grand Formation lit up, resonating with the Forging Array, thin lines of concentrated heat separated from the flame orb and streamed toward the rocks and the spearblade.

"...!"

'What kind of Forging Technique is that?!'

Lian Zhiqiu widened her eyes as she never saw anything resembling that during her travels, even though she saw Forging Masters perform their work.

It was as if each line was an incredibly precise artisan moving completely independently and yet in tandem with the others.

The rocks split as pure ore was extracted from within and then smelted together to make an alloy while the spear blade was partially melted in specific patterns, and then the new alloy streamed into it, not only filling in the crack but also the other melted parts, and when that was done completely coated the blade in a new layer.

The whole process was incredibly slow at the start as it could be seen that the flames struggled to first purify and then melt the ores, but the latter part was finished relatively quickly.

Wu Long had beads of sweat cover his forehead, as his Spiritual Qi rapidly depleted.

Operating a Forging Array without being a Forging Cultivator was normally impossible, as producing the flames required Forging Flame to exist within the Dantian among other things.

What he did was use a complex of techniques to bypass all requirements, a workaround he developed himself, which was highly inefficient as well as incredibly taxing, requiring far more effort for the same results.

Not to mention that he was using an inferior Grade Array for the materials he was dealing with, and his lower cultivation realm exacerbated the difficulty since he used techniques to offset his cultivation difference with the required one.

All of that combined caused a tremendous strain on him, though not harmful, but quite demanding in terms of his Spiritual Qi, as well as both physical and mental fatigue.

The only thing he could provide without much problem was Soul Power, but it was only a part of the overall process so that did not save him from the rest.

Eventually, as he finished the forging process, his hand grasped a spear with a new shining blade and the rust covering its shaft completely gone to reveal the beautiful inscriptions engraved on it, which were previously concealed.

"Hah, all of that and it is still a low-level 1st-tier Profound Grade spear"

He made a slightly self-mocking smile, fully aware of the absurdity of reforging such a spear in his realm, but still not completely satisfied.

"Incredible..."

Lian Zhiqiu came closer, her eyes reflecting the new blade shining with a light of amazement, then revealing praise and even a tinge of arousal as they turned to him.

He still had most of his Spiritual Qi since his reserves were just so vast, so he proceeded to work more, among other things slightly reforging the Profound Grade Spatial Ring to hide its form.

Though, since he could not tamper with the already engraved with spatial arrays parts of the ring he had to resort to cover its form with an additional layer, thus making the already thick ring quite sizeable, but succeeded in making it completely unrecognizable.

By the end of it all he was completely exhausted again, though of course in much better shape than last time.

His ladies helped him partially recuperate, completely spending what small amounts of Yin Qi they accumulated since the previous cultivation.

The next day they discreetly departed from the Sect, joined by two beauties.

One was sent off by a disgruntled father who seemed to be mumbling something under his nose and staring daggers at Wu Long.

The other was sent off by her Master with unreadable expression, though the former could feel worry and tender care in her gaze even though she did not know why the latter was worried.

Although everyone except Wu Long was surprised that Lian Zhiqiu was departing with them as well, but no one questioned them.
