Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 568: Visiting the He Family to Seek Advice

Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Visiting the He Family to Seek Advice

Yu Changfeng had once yearned so desperately for it. He hoped that if he opened his eyes, he would find that everything he had endured over the years was just a dream.

The empire would still be there, and so would Wu Ji.

They would be frolicking, roughhousing, drinking, leading their horses, and teasing the girls who passed by.

Under the setting sun, they would be discussing which brothel to spend the night in.

Unfortunately, everything he had experienced over the years was real, not a dream.

He couldn’t open his eyes and return to that era.

Parting from Wu Ji, the pact made with Wu Ji...

He had fulfilled none of it.

He was truly a failure.

He had failed Tao Verification multiple times and also failed in forging the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon. As a result, Fairy Valley had been devastated, the Dragon Veins were extinguished, and this place had become the dreaded Life Prohibited Zone.

If it had not been for Chen Pingping’s arrival, he wouldn’t have known how much longer he would have had to endure.

Perhaps a few hundred years, maybe a few thousand years, tens of thousands of years...

Tedious, endless, an eternal night.

Every time he thought about it, an oppressive weight settled in his heart, as if mountains were crushing his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

There were even many times he had forgotten his purpose, forgotten what he had once strived for all those years.

Tao Verification. Yes! He remembered now.

His blood, long dormant, began to flow slowly, then started to boil.

Yu Changfeng remembered that he had to achieve Tao Verification and had made a pact with Wu Ji: they would charge into the Ancient Battlefield together and spill Emperor Blood.

On that ancient land, they would carve out a legendary reputation for themselves.

The Twin Kings, unparalleled in the world! They had once made such an arrogant vow.

PANT... PANT...

Yu Changfeng breathed heavily, trying hard to calm himself down.

But he just couldn’t do it!

Past events resurfaced one after another, and memories gushed out like spring water.

Fuck! He felt a surge of anger.

Because he had been successfully persuaded by Chen Pingping.

What infuriated him was that this guy had stolen his Divine Weapon, tricked him out of his Fairy Valley, and now he was here to trick him again. Yet, he found himself unable to refuse.

It wasn’t just because Chen Pingping’s promises were unimportant. As if he cared about those!

"Damn it..." Yu Changfeng cursed, "Are you an Ask Demon, kid?"

"Ah?"

"You know, those Demon cultivators who rely solely on their glib tongues, cultivating by spouting utter nonsense," Yu Changfeng said, looking at him.

"..."

"Enough nonsense. If you want me to help you, fine... but show me your sincerity first," Yu Changfeng said resentfully. "I need Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Pills. My current condition is terrible. Also, hurry up and return my Divine Weapon!"

WHOOSH!

Chen Pingping took out the ancient cauldron.

Yu Changfeng hurriedly snatched it up and finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Alright. Now, help me recover my strength."

Chen Pingping asked, "How much do you need?"

"Of course, the more the better..." Yu Changfeng shot him a sidelong glance. "Hurry up and go gather them. Don’t waste any time. I’ll refine the ancient cauldron first, and then... prepare for Tao Verification."

"???"

Chen Pingping froze. "Senior, are you mistaken?"

"Mistaken about what?" Yu Changfeng retorted. "I’m not mistaken at all!"

"I’m the one who needs to forge the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon," Chen Pingping stated.

"That’s right! Once I recover my strength, it’ll be fine. I believe there were flaws in my past failures. If I reforge it this time, I’ll definitely succeed."

"I am the one who will be forging it..." Chen Pingping said calmly. "Me. Not you."

The distinction was critical.

Yu Changfeng’s understanding was that if he used the ancient cauldron to achieve Tao Verification again, the final ownership would naturally belong to him.

Moreover, subconsciously, he believed the ancient cauldron was the most suitable choice for Tao Verification—bar none.

However, the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon Chen Pingping spoke of would be under *his* control. His plan was to use branches from the Fusang Tree as raw material. These would be shaped with Heavenly Fire, with a Heaven Tao Stone guiding the process and being integrated into the weapon. Finally, he would use the power of the Dragon Veins to nurture the Emperor Weapon God.

Fuck me...

Yu Changfeng leaped to his feet, eyes wide as saucers, staring at Chen Pingping with utter disbelief written all over his face.

Mad! He’s completely mad! This kid has lost his mind! He actually wants to forge a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon?

How is that any different from courting death?

Yu Changfeng’s face stiffened, and he turned around without saying a word.

He planned to give up.

But then, Chen Pingping raised his hand and produced over a thousand high-grade Spirit Pills, several thousand stalks of Spiritual Medicine, and hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones.

This...?

He was torn. At the same time, he was utterly shocked. Where did this kid get so many treasures?

"That ancient cauldron... it probably doesn’t belong to this world. For it to undergo Tao Verification in the lands of the Southern Diaspora and transform into an Emperor Weapon is nearly impossible," Chen Pingping said, shaking his head. "Senior, please help me."

"..."

"I’ll come back in a few days with more for you..."

His words ended there. Chen Pingping didn’t press further; he knew Yu Changfeng needed time to recover and to contemplate these matters.

He had already said a great deal. Anyone else in this situation would likely find it difficult to accept everything in such a short time.

「...」

After leaving that place, Chen Pingping found He Yitian. "I’d like to meet the elders of your He Family."

He Yitian: "???"

He vaguely guessed something but didn’t dare to think too deeply.

On the way to the He Family residence, He Yitian couldn’t help but ask, "Big Brother? Are you serious about this?"

Chen Pingping nodded. "I am."

He Yitian’s mouth fell slightly agape, his worldview shattering into pieces.

He was going to forge a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon!

And now, he was heading to the He Family to seek guidance from their elders!

That evening, upon their arrival at the He Family estate, a group of its high-ranking members, learning of Chen Pingping’s visit, greeted him with fiery enthusiasm.

"Daoist Chen, to have achieved so much at such a young age is truly remarkable..."

"Daoist Chen, do you perhaps have a Tao Companion?"

"The young ladies of our He Family are quite fine, especially our He Yidan..."

The elder wanted to continue.

Chen Pingping hurriedly interjected, "This junior has come this time hoping to ask you Seniors for guidance on a few questions."

The elder quickly replied, "Ah, so that’s the case. Please, speak freely."

Chen Pingping had never truly forged a Divine Weapon himself. After all, the system provided rewards of all levels, so in this aspect, he was a complete novice.

This time, he mainly came to inquire about some basic questions.

Of course, in He Yitian’s eyes, his Big Brother possessed vast experience in Artifact Refining; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to repair that flying vessel in just a few short months.

Therefore, He Yitian believed, the questions Chen Pingping was about to ask must surely be related to forging a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon.

He immediately perked up his ears.

Who would have thought that Chen Pingping would proceed to ask a series of basic questions, such as... what was the difference between a Destiny God Weapon and a Divine Weapon forged by an Artifact Refiner?

Or, for instance, could high-grade raw materials be shaped progressively to eventually reach a desired grade—an improvement distinct from the way a Destiny God Weapon advanced?

And another: during the process of forging a Divine Weapon, was it necessary to inscribe Arrays?

The conversation lasted several hours.

Some of the other high-ranking members present were growing restless. They had assumed Chen Pingping had come for something significant, but he ended up asking a plethora of what they considered mundane questions.

The elder answering his questions, however, was very patient and addressed each one for Chen Pingping in detail.

Finally... Chen Pingping suddenly asked a more advanced question: "And what if it were an Emperor Weapon? What would its primary structure consist of?"

This is it! This is it!

He Yitian, who had been on the verge of sleep, instantly jolted awake, his spirits lifting.

The elder paused, looking somewhat puzzled, but still began to explain, "The creation of an Emperor Weapon involves countless intricacies. Nearly every Emperor Weapon comes into being through a unique process, so their internal structures naturally differ as well. Take, for instance, the Emperor Weapon of the Ancient Country, the Dragon Spring Sword..."
