Chapter 1538 Pinnacle of Treasures

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 donʼt 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 wasnʼt 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. Thatʼs 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 heʼd vanished into thin air.

Meanwhile, Tian Qiyuan went to look for Zi Xuanʼs 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.

ʼShe probably couldnʼt handle opening too many entrances to her world after losing her physical body…ʼ

Unfortunately, this was the only entrance to her world that he knew of, and he doubted anyone who wasnʼt Zi Xuan would know of another entrance.

ʼIf I cannot find her, Iʼll let her find me…ʼ

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 Xuanʼs situation, he would not hesitate to become the Exalted Blacksmith again.

There was a chance that Zi Xuan might eventually show up in his world, but he didnʼt know how long that would take or if sheʼd want to trouble him with her presence.

ʼSince she acted to clear my name, I should do just that—clear my name.ʼ

However, he didnʼt know where to start. The Ancient Anvil Association had already convinced the entire world that he was a fraud. If he appeared out of the blue to clear his name after ignoring it for so long, it would only have the opposite effect.

In the end, he decided to return to his world to think of a plan. He also hoped that Zi Xuan would suddenly show up in his world like she often does.

Unbeknownst to him, Zi Xuan had already caught wind of the rumors surrounding the peerless sword. The moment she heard about it, her thoughts immediately turned to Tian Qiyuan. In all the heavens, there was only one individual capable of crafting such a masterpiece.

ʼSo heʼs achieved his ambitions… Itʼs a pity that I missed the process, and I really want to see the sword with my own eyes, but alas… I donʼt think I can visit him while in this condition…ʼ

She feared that Tian Qiyuan would disapprove of her methods of trying to clear his name, as sheʼd gone to the extreme. However, even if it caused him to hate her, she would not stop until she cleared his name.

ʼOnce I reconstruct my body and regain enough strength, I will launch a full attack on the Ancient Anvil Association! Then I will deal with Fiery Heaven Blacksmith once and for all! Since I am not strong enough to deal with the God of Creation yet, Iʼll save him for last…ʼ

A few years later, Tian Qiyuan appeared in the world again, carrying on his back a beautiful black and golden sword.

Once people started realizing his identity as the mysterious man with the flawless sword, they immediately notified the God of Creation of his whereabouts.

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 havenʼt 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?”

”Thereʼs 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.
