1538 Pinnacle of Treasures
"A mysterious man carrying around a sword of unfathomable quality that is described as the pinnacle of treasures by those who witnessed it, huh?" God of Creation muttered to himself after hearing the recent rumors. As a blacksmith, he was more interested in the sword than the individual with it.
Eventually, he could no longer contain his curiosity and began a journey to find the mysterious man with the so-called pinnacle of treasures.
He visited those who had seen the sword to see if he could learn anything about this mysterious man or find any clues that would lead to him. Unfortunately, he could only acquire insubstantial information.
"He was a tall and handsome man."
"I have never seen him before, but he had a powerful aura around him. I believe he was an expert."
"He was definitely an expert. I don't know how much his sword contributed to his strength, but he managed to obliterate Yao Tao of the Ancient Anvil Association with a single blow."
"His sword matched the length of his body, its blade predominantly black with hints of gold woven in. Although its appearance wasn't extravagant, its quality was undeniably otherworldly," one of the witnesses recalled, their voice filled with reverence.
"If a grade existed above Celestial-grade, that sword would definitely be in that category—or two above it. That's just how perfect it was."
As the God of Creation heard more about this flawless sword, his desire to see it with his own eyes intensified.
The God of Creation, driven by an insatiable desire, eventually placed a bounty on both the man and the sword, offering vast fortunes to anyone who could lead him to either. To the man himself, he promised untold riches and treasures beyond imagination should he present the sword in person. This announcement reverberated through the realms, igniting a fervent hunt that spanned across the Nine Heavens.
However, no matter how much people searched, they were unable to find any traces of the man or the sword, as if he'd vanished into thin air.
Meanwhile, Tian Qiyuan went to look for Zi Xuan's soul after messing with the Ancient Anvil Association.
The first place he looked was the secret entrance to her world in the Eighth Heaven. After traveling to the Eighth Heaven and arriving at his destination, he found that the entrance had vanished and was no longer there.
'She probably couldn't handle opening too many entrances to her world after losing her physical body…'
Unfortunately, this was the only entrance to her world that he knew of, and he doubted anyone who wasn't Zi Xuan would know of another entrance.
'If I cannot find her, I'll let her find me…'
Tian Qiyuan could only think of one way to attract Zi Xuan. Although he had already tossed away the identity as the Exalted Blacksmith, if it could help Zi Xuan's situation, he would not hesitate to become the Exalted Blacksmith again.
When the God of Creation received this news, he stopped whatever he was doing and flew directly to the location given to him.
Surprisingly, it was the Grand Elder Summit.
"The Grand Elder Summit, huh? I haven't been to this place since that incident…" The God of Creation mumbled to himself as he approached the place.
As for Tian Qiyuan, he quietly cultivated at the peak of the summit, where competitions usually took place. It was also where he performed his God of Creation Ceremony.
Although he was surrounded by a crowd, mostly blacksmiths, none dared to approach him. They had all heard of what he had done to Yao Tao. Instead, they merely inspected the sword resting on his lap with awe in their eyes.
"The rumors were true! That is truly a flawless sword! The pinnacle of treasures!"
"Heavens! Who is that man? Do you think he created it?"
"There's no way a nobody could have crafted such a treasure! I doubt even the heavens have the capabilities to do so!"
The blacksmiths stared at the sword with mouths agape, their eyes brimming with wonder and reverence as if they stood before their god.
