Chapter 1036 — The Closer to Home, the More Timid the Heart
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
The village headman was rather helpless and could only let him be. Shen Mu, as the Holy Infant of the Creator race, might not be a supreme grandmaster in the comprehension of divine sense, but his vision and experience were extremely lofty, and his attainments in divine sense made him one of a handful of experts. The micro-forging problem that had plagued the Mute Artisan and the Blind Elder for a long time was soon solved by his hand. Under the direction of the Mute Artisan and the Blind Elder, Jingping's forging arts had already reached their peak; advancing even one step further was almost impossible.
But micro-forging required changing physical structure, something Jingping's present skills could not achieve. Physics—one is the thing, and one is the principle, the principle hidden within the thing. Investigate things to extend knowledge, and only then do you understand physics.
But micro-forging was about changing physics.
This required divine sense to pinpoint precisely the sequence of every microscopic crystal within the dark gold. A stone from another mountain can polish jade, and applying the Creator race's achievements in divine sense to micro-forging was exactly what could make up for Jingping's shortcomings. Shen Mu, the Blind Elder, and the Mute Artisan threw themselves wholeheartedly into the research, paying no attention to anything else. After more than ten days, the three of them watched as they personally forged a piece of dark gold into divine gold, and all were stirred beyond words.
"Micro-forging! Changing physical structure is only the surface of it—there can be far broader applications!
" Shen Mu said excitedly.
"Imprint runic formations on microscopic crystals.
A single drop of water has billions of microscopic crystals; a single sword has even more.
If micro-forging can be developed to its limit, and micro-engraving and micro-imprinting are applied to divine weapons and treasures, their power will be raised beyond that of gods and demons at the same cultivation realm!
" The Mute Artisan was also inexpressibly excited, rubbing his hands together. "The Kai Emperor once spoke of this as well. This will be an era of the forging dao—an era in which mighty magic treasures rule the world!
" Shen Mu encouraged him, his voice full of a bewitching power: "And Grandpa Mute Artisan will be the one who opens up this era! " The Mute Artisan roared with laughter, his voice sonorous, the furnace fire behind him shooting up to the sky. The Blind Elder, however, was a little displeased.
He shook his head.
"If micro-forging is developed to its extreme, what need will there be for us humans? If magic treasures become too powerful, then when war comes, it will be magic treasure versus magic treasure, divine weapons flying everywhere. Would we divine-power practitioners, gods, and demons still have any need to cultivate? " Shen Mu said to the Blind Elder in a low voice, "Micro-forging can also be applied to cultivation. That is where Grandpa Blind's wisdom comes in.
See here—apply the micro-engraving and micro-imprinting of micro-forging to the construction of primordial qi, the sequencing of formations, the tempering of the flesh, the reinforcement of divine storehouses, and the forging of heavenly palaces, and it can strengthen the selves of divine-power practitioners, gods, and demons. It can even be used in the cultivation of the primordial spirit!
" His voice once again took on that bewitching power: "Grandpa Mute Artisan opens the era of the forging dao, and Grandpa Blind will correct him—letting divine-power practitioners, gods, and demons equal divine weapons and treasures, or even surpass them! Don't let Grandpa Mute Artisan have all the glory!
" The Blind Elder stroked the beard on his chin and chuckled.
