Chapter 1935 Chang’an Cradle Forge
"We're heading to the Chang'an peak." The Shuijing Clan member spoke.
"The Chang'an peak? The Head Elder is there?" Lin Mu asked.
"Yes. With his recent breakthrough, he has decided to collaborate with the Head elder of the Chang'an Clan and try to make a new weapon. They are hoping that it'll be a better weapon than they've ever made." The Shuijing clan member replied.
"I see… but is it fine for me to be there?" Lin Mu questioned, thinking that the techniques and methods used might be secret to the clan.
"Yes, the Head Elder has already given permission. Besides, a lot of the promising juniors of the Serene Glass Valley will be observing too. This is a rare chance for all of them to get some experience." The Shuijing clan member replied.
"It is a rare instance indeed, then." Lin Mu nodded his head. He too was looking foward to it and wondered what methods they would be using.
The two continued to fly until they reached the Chang'an peak after a while. There, the clan member took Lin Mu to the back of the peak. As soon as Lin Mu stepped foot in this area, he could feel the difference.
'A lot of fire Qi is suppressed here…' Lin Mu felt as if a volcano was buried under it all. ~shua~
His immortal sense spread around the area and quickly picked up on the various formations that were present on the peak. 'So that's why… they have all that fire Qi suppressed underground… it is actually from a formation.' Lin Mu understood.
While he didn't know what kind of formation array it was exactly, he had an idea about it, at least.
'Possibly a Furnace Array… Something similar to the one Jing Wei had in the Myriad Armament Canopy Abode.' Lin Mu thought.
Of course, the Furnace Array here was on an entirely different level than what Jing Wei had. It was an Immortal array and the power contained within it was on a different level. Not to mention, Lin Mu could also sense that the fire Qi wasn't just from the array. There was something else present there too.
'Hm… a treasure of some kind? It is too vague to tell from here.' Lin Mu thought.
He soon arrived at the place where the two head elders would be forging a new weapon.
It was a large stone castle, that had runes carved on all its sides. All of these were reinforcing and defensive formations, from what Lin Mu could tell.
"Here we are, The Chang'an Cradle Forge." The Shuijing Clan member introduced.
"Is this where the Peak Grade Immortal weapon was made? The one that was gifted to the Feng Imperial Clan?" Lin Mu questioned.
"Indeed. This is also the main forge of the Serene Glass Valley and where the best of our weapons are made. There are several more forges, but this is the one with the best conditions as well as heat that can even burn away diamonds." The man answered.
Lin Mu was impressed by it and couldn't help but want to see how it was from the inside.
The two entered the castle through its front gate and soon saw hundreds of people inside. These were all the juniors of the clans that composed the Serene Glass Valley. Lin Mu looked around the building and saw that it was actually rather simple. While it looked like a castle from the outside, it actually didn't have many rooms and halls like a castle. Instead, it was one large singular hall and didn't have any separate sections.
Along its four walls, tens of forges were set up, scorching flames burning within them. But the most spectacular part was the giant central forge. It was this giant forge that was powering the rest of the smaller forges and also had the greatest heat.
Lin Mu could see channels on the ground that linked the smaller forges to the main forge. They were hard to miss, as they were glowing orange on the ground, showing that energy was flowing through them.
"Daoist Mu Lin!" And while Lin Mu was looking around, he heard someone call out to him. "Shuijing Mingzhu," Lin Mu noticed the woman.
"You've come too. We were waiting for you." Shuijing Mingzhu said with a smile. "Shuijing Ju's here too?" Lin Mu guessed.
"Yes. Come, we've got a place on the very front." The woman said before guiding him through the crowd.
Lin Mu went along with her and soon came to stand at the edge of the main furnace. There was a barrier set up, which prevented the heat from the forge from affecting the spectators. Lin Mu could tell that the heat was high enough to hurt immortals just by being in its vicinity.
'No wonder there are so many reinforcing formations on this building. It would have melted away from this heat otherwise.' Lin Mu understood.
"We shall now be starting. All juniors are to carefully observe and learn!" A loud voice was heard, pulling everyone's attention to the main forge.
Two old men stood there, which were quickly recognized by everyone.
"Head Elder Heng and Head Elder Dajian." The juniors greeted them with cupped hands.
Head Elder Dajian belonged to the Chang'an Clan and was also the Serene Glass Valley's top Immortal weapon forger.
"Is that the junior you were talking about?" Head Elder Dajian asked in a low voice.
"Yes, that is Daoist Mu Lin. He has excellent talent with formations." Head Elder Heng replied. "I believe he could react great heights in the future." He added.
"Hmm… if it's coming from you, that's some tall praise." Head Elder Dajian said, finding it a bit surprising. "Let's see how much he can learn from this." The old man turned to the furnace after saying that.
"I'll start it," Head Elder Heng said before extending his hand toward the furnace. As soon as he did that, the flames of the furnace disappeared and a lamp rose from it.
