Chapter 2196.2: Forge of Heaven and Earth

The Origin Sect took no further action against him after he killed their soul separation cultivator. They must have grown wary and sent a true immortal this time in a bid for caution.

Terra Demon gave an overview of everything that’d recently happened in the capital before leaving. After Lu Yun recollected himself, he headed for the family’s secret vault.

……

The Lu young master had modified the secret vault to be based on talismans of the connate five elements as well as a massive seed storage formation. Previously thirty meters across, the vault was now a massive space roughly half a kilometer wide. Large qi accumulation formations abounded within, creating an ambient concentration of energy so intense that it was ten times denser than Fallen Leaf or Ashflame City.

The gray jiao swam down from Lu Yun’s shoulder and circled through the area, immensely satisfied with the place. Meanwhile, the young man took out one specimen from all of the spirit herbs in his storage ring and planted them in the vault.

“Skynet Stone, Frostmoon Ice, Essence of Copper, Silverscar, Purplenight Gold, Transformed Spirit Grass, Waternet Root…” After completing this task, he took out another set of ingredients and placed them in front of him. A summoned ball of connate li fire melted them all.

The gray jiao located a tiny pond made from a talisman of connate kui water and spat out the meter-tall golden dragon egg. It coiled over it and stuck its head out of the water, looking at Lu Yun’s actions with curiosity.

His cultivation level was much higher than when he refined the Dragon Transformation Grass and his command over connate li fire and other ingredients was much more proficient. Golden light sparkled in his eyes as his fingers fluttered through hand seals. The seals melded into the liquid of ingredients and distilled what was useful from them.

The gray jiao’s eyes went wide when it saw the flames in Lu Yun’s hands. Connate li fire! A young man of nascent soul cultivation could casually summon this connate flame! Not even the most preeminent chaos immortals could manage the deed.

While the flame in Lu Yun’s hand was exceedingly weak, it was connate li fire without a doubt.

The jiao nodded to itself—it hadn’t followed the wrong human. Perhaps this young man really could help it recover and take another step forward.

The ingredients gradually merged together in the void and a faint smear of silver floated out of the bundle. Proxima Metal was about to take shape, but here, Lu Yun hesitated.

“Proxima Metal is the key ingredient for a cross forge, but other materials are needed to refine the forge as well. While I have a broken cross ark in hand…” Lu Yun’s hand seals suddenly changed and rays of blue, red, white, black, and yellow light gathered from the void.

These were the pure connate five elements and they immediately fused into the solidifying ingredients. The hint of silver instantly vanished—the connate five elements were the guiding force of these materials now.

“Too much connate metal origin, out!” Lu Yun threw out a ball of golden energy.

“Needs more connote fire origin, come!” He grabbed in the southern direction and threw a ball of connate fire origin into the materials.

“Connate water and wood origin need to be increased! That’s enough connate wood origin!”

His hand seals were now the movements of treasure refinement. He was going to refine the core origin of Proxima Metal and the connate five elements into a cross forge.

……

Humm!

Rumble!

A soft rumble sounded overhead as a red cauldron with simplistic design appeared in front of Lu Yun. It billowed with a vast presence. Although it was only one meter tall, there was astounding capacity inside. It ran six hundred meters from end to end.

Lu Yun didn’t add a seed storage formation; the cauldron had somehow given rise to something similar itself. He looked at it with clarity in his eyes.

“The connate five elements are the foundation of this world’s core origin. When they come together to form the same space, it manifests the rules of heaven and earth. The rules then manifest light, shadow, wind, thunder, time, life, and ultimately the world…”

Thunder and lightning roared within the cauldron, a byproduct of the five elements.

“To think that this world would be like this… It seems to be different from the world of my memories, but reaches the same goal through different means.

“The nothing…” Lu Yun’s spontaneous comprehension of this world propelled his mentality to soul separation. His actual cultivation remained at peak nascent soul.

“Heh heh heh, a cross forge? Let’s call this the Forge of Heaven and Earth.”

Albeit named differently, it functioned the same as a cross forge, but was many times more powerful than a regular forge. The heart of a cross ark’s propulsion system, this forge was bigger than some of the larger cross arks.

Lu Yun took out a lower rank crystal after he put the forge away and held it in his hand, slowly absorbing and refining it to replenish his Hongmeng qi.

……

The gray jiao settled down in the Lu secret vault. It focused on hatching the dragon egg while also recovering from its injuries. If there was anything Lu Yun needed from it, the jiao wouldn’t hesitate to help.

It was morning the next day when he left the secret vault.

“Grandpa, you’re already an awakened powerhouse??” Lu Yun jumped with shock when he saw Lu Tianling.

Lu Tianling was equally startled. He kept a heaven-defying treasure on him that enabled him to conceal his cultivation. Even the heavenly book could see through it, but his little grandson had identified his true cultivation with one glance.

“You…” Lu Tianling’s jaw dropped as he didn’t know what to say.

“Heh, don’t worry grandpa. There is none other than your grandson who can see through your true cultivation,” Lu Yun chuckled.

“Oh you! Eh, wait, when did you form your nascent soul and reach mid nascent soul??” Lu Tianling was about to respond when he took note of Lu Yun’s cultivation and was shocked out of his intended topic.

A seventeen year old nascent soul cultivator?! He’d been delighted for several years when Lu Xiaochi formed his at thirty! His grandson had exceeded the master by so much that they weren’t in the same plane of existence!

Genius?

The so-called three gentlemen of Dark City would seek immediate reincarnation into their next lives if they were compared to his grandson! There weren’t that many seventeen-year-old nascent soul cultivators in Great Xia either.

Besides, what kind of place was Great Xia? It possessed an abundance of qi and precious treasures—it wasn’t surprising for there to be teenage nascent out cultivators.

Yet Lu Yun had grown up in a third rank cultivation empire and still formed his as a teenager. What was this if not heaven defying?? And he’d only been foundation establishment a year ago!

“Hahahaha!! A seventeen year old nascent soul cultivator! My grandson coalesced his nascent soul at seventeen years old! HAHAHAHA!!” Lu Tianling threw his head back with laughter, laughing so hard that he flushed beet red. Being an awakened powerhouse, he could naturally see that Lu Yun’s cultivation was completely stable.

“But haven’t you seen my disciple, grandpa?” Lu Yun asked curiously to see his grandfather so excited.

“Disciple?” Lu Tianling tried to set aside his agitation.

“Haven’t Gui Xie and Kong Mengqian come home?” Lu Yun frowned.

“Milord, bad news! …young master?” A flustered He Wuheng ran in and paused when he saw Lu Yun. “You’re back, young master? Wonderful!”

“What is it? What’s going on?” Lu Tianling frowned.

“In response to milord, the Yuwens beat up the second master moments ago and Senior Bloodbath went to save him. He was also gravely injured and they’re both held captive.” He Wuheng glanced at Lu Yun and continued solemnly, “The Yuwens say we must pay five hundred million upper rank spirit stones in three days to ransom them, or else…”

“Or else what?” A threatening glint appeared in Lu Yun’s eyes.

“Or else Senior Bloodbath and the second master will not live after three days.”

“What is going on here?” Lu Tianling took a deep breath.

“Someone came to cause trouble at our trading company this morning, so the second master went to handle it. However, someone beat him up for it. The one who injured the second master and Senior Bloodbath is a latter nascent soul cultivator,” He Wuheng said slowly.

“I understand now, leave this to me,” Lu Yun sighed. “If there’s a single hair missing from second uncle or Senior Blood’s head, I’ll exterminate the Yuwen bloodline from this world.”

A tyrannical air bloomed from his body while Lu Tianling wordlessly opened and shut his mouth.

“Ai, I’ve gotten old, so I leave the matters of the family to you guys!” He looked at his grandson with gratification.

“Don’t worry, grandpa. The Origin Sect will fall and the Lu Clan will surpass Great Xia,” Lu Yun said calmly.

“You…” Lu Tianling stared at Lu Yun, unable to find words for a proper response.

“Be at ease, grandpa, I’m not a child anymore. I learned of certain things long ago.”

“Good, good, wonderful! You’ve finally grown up, Yun’er!” Lu Tianling laughed with joy.

……

The Yuwen trading company was now the biggest in Darklake Empire. It monopolized more than seventy percent of the empire’s business. It’d acquired numerous training companies throughout the nation—whether by money or force.

Only the Lu trading company could stand up to them now. The Ouyang Clan had long become a Lu vassal.

The Yuwen headquarters stood in the middle of the most prosperous southern quadrant of the capital. This was Darklake’s hub of commerce.

Two enormous flags were raised in front of their headquarters and two people hung from it. Drenched in blood, they had more bones broken than anyone could imagine. Tormented to within an inch of their lives, they barely looked human.

It was Lu Xiaochi and Bloodbath.
