Chapter 1191: Three Deputy Patriarchs. Pt.2

Each of the Deputy Patriarchs controlled a certain part of the institution, and the Weapons Hall fell under the jurisdiction of Liu Zhiyuan.

Even though he was someone who couldn’t really clearly split up his personal matters from the matters of the institution, he was still pretty capable. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to maintain his position even with his predecessor’s status influence.

Liu Zhiyuan spent a lot of effort trying to improve the Weapons Hall. However, there were no talents when it came to artifact crafting no matter how hard they tried. The matter with the Weapons Hall also caused Liu Zhiyuan’s prestige to take a huge hit.

Now that there was a divine grade forging hammer in front of him, he saw a chance for the Weapons Hall to finally rise again.

Even though the Blacksmiths were those who would eventually make the weapon, the importance of a good forging hammer couldn’t be denied.

Liu Zhiyuan had to fight for it no matter what as it was an opportunity for the Weapons Hall to finally show some improvement.

“No matter what, this is a forging hammer... If we don’t allow the Weapons Hall to use it, where else can it come into use?” Liu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but ask Ji Wenlong.

Shaking his head, Ji Wenlong mumbled, “If we leave this divine grade hammer to the Weapons Hall, it will be too much of a waste. At least, it would be a waste of resources with how things stand at the moment.”

Liu Zhiyuan wanted to continue to fight for a chance to obtain the hammer, but he was stopped as Yun Jing raised her hand slowly.

“There isn’t a Martial Dipper Realm expert in the Weapons Hall, right?” Yun Jing asked and continued before Liu Zhiyuan could answer. “If there isn’t a Martial Dipper Realm expert using a divine weapon, it will be extremely difficult to make full use of its strength. It’s truly not appropriate for the Weapons Hall to use the treasure.”

After thinking about it, Liu Zhiyuan decided to try once more. “Martial Extermination Realm cultivators are still able to make use of it... At the very least, they would be able to bring out a portion of its power.”

Shaking her head, Yun Jing sighed, “Forging artifacts is different from fighting. If one used the weapon to fight, it would be great as long as they didn’t suffer a backlash. However, if one were to try to use it to craft weapons, they would be forced to use double the effort to only achieve half the results. Even if I don’t say this... You should be clear about it.”

Liu Zhiyuan opened his mouth slightly. But he didn’t know what to say.

Yun Jing chuckled softly, “Actually, not giving them the hammer might not be a bad thing. The hammer will definitely belong to the Weapons Hall eventually, but that will depend on their achievements. If you spread this news in the Weapons Hall, it might encourage them.”

“Isn’t this just dangling a carrot in front of them and watching them make a fool of themselves if they don\'t succeed?” Liu Zhiyuan snapped.

Yun Jing smiled in response. “Good tricks don’t grow old. Most importantly, we’ll need to see if it will have any effects on encouraging them. Alright. This is settled.”

Liu Zhiyuan’s expression sank and he grumbled at the side, “What’s the point of calling me here then? You might as well inform me of your decision with a transmission talisman...”

Yun Jing and Ji Wenlong acted as though they didn’t hear what he said and they continued to talk to each other.

Ji Wenlong laughed suddenly, “Then again, our Tongyou Institution actually has the Hidden Frost Sword, the Five Element Ring, and this hammer now. We actually have 3 divine artifacts. If we add Little Shang’s Holy Artifact into the mix... This is something we would never have imagined in the past! I’m afraid there will not be another great power in our Spirit Luxuriant World who can bring out so many impressive artifacts so easily.”

Yun Jing agreed. “Even though we don’t know how many divine artifacts the Northern Sea Mystic Sect, Eternal Palace, and the Divine Capital Sect have, we can be sure that having 3 divine artifacts at our disposal ranks us at the very top. We won’t be lacking when compared to them.”

All of a sudden, Ji Wenlong asked, “Right... Where did Little Shang get this hammer?”

Yun Jing turned serious suddenly before pointing at the second object on the table. “That’s what I called all of you here for. Little Shang got these after killing a fourth tier True Immortal...”

Siiiiii...

Both of them sucked in a cold breath in unison. Glancing at each other, Liu Zhiyuan gasped in his hoarse voice, “He even managed to kill a high-level True Immortal?!”

Yun Jing wasn’t too surprised at their reaction. Actually, when she heard what happened from Shang Xia’s clone, her reaction wasn’t too different.

Ji Wenlong was surprised, but he still remembered to ask, “Who did he kill anyway? Zhuge Xiang died in the hands of Tong Yutang, and Tong Yutang took on the position of the Star Origin Guards Commander. Where did the high-level True Immortal he killed come from? Was it someone from the Spirit Abundance World or the Spirit Mammoth World?”

Liu Zhiyuan also snapped back to reality and looked to Yun Jing for the answer.

“Neither. Both of you actually know who he is... he’s Wen Juxiang, the high-level True Immortal of the Essence Hong World who infiltrated our Tongyou Elysium back then!” Yun Jing revealed.

“It’s actually him?!”

“Essence Hong World?”

Ji Wenlong and Liu Zhiyuan gasped, and strange expressions could be seen on their faces.

“Does anyone else know that Little Shang killed him?” Ji Wenlong continued to question.

So did Liu Zhiyuan. “Wouldn’t that mean that our relationship with the Essence Hong World has already turned antagonistic? At the very least, we offended a powerful faction there, right?”

Yun Jing explained, “From what Little Shang says, no one else was present when he killed Wen Juxiang. However, the moment Wen Juxiang’s death spread, there might be people who would suspect him.”

Ji Wenlong and Liu Zhiyuan’s expressions changed after hearing what she said.

A high-level True Immortal of an Essence World who gained the trust of the various factions there to investigate what happened in lower worlds... Anyone could guess that his identity wasn’t as simple as it seemed. It would go without saying that they will launch an investigation into his death...

“However...” Yun Jing’s tone changed suddenly, “According to Little Shang, even if the Essence Hong World wants to look into Wen Juxiang’s death, they wouldn’t send a huge number of experts to the Star Origin Dao Field or the worlds surrounding it. That is because Star Origin City wouldn’t open the spatial tunnel if that were the case and we won’t have to worry about a large-scale invasion from them.”

Feeling a small weight lifted off their hearts, Ji Wenlong suddenly thought of something and he asked again, “Will Star Origin City be able to take the heat if the Essence Hong World tries to pin responsibility on anyone?”

Even though it was impossible for Ji Wenlong and the others to learn what happened directly from Kou Chongxue or Shang Xia because of their difference in cultivation realms, they interacted with many worlds because of their connection with Star Origin City in recent years. They knew that the limit of an Essence World were experts in the Seventh Order.”

Yun Jing replied, “Little Shang said that in the short term, there is no need for us to worry about retaliation from the Essence Hong World. That’s because, in his words, the Essence Hong World won’t be able to make their way over! As for why that’s the case... Little Shang’s clone simply smiled and didn’t say anything. There might be some reason we can’t understand...”

Liu Zhiyuan muttered in a low void, “That’s only in the short term. However, that means that the Essence Hong World will eventually be able to come... Is that why he and Patriarch Kou are in such a rush to break through to the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm?”

Yun Jing and Ji Wenlong fell silent as they agreed with his conjecture.

Seeing as they hadn’t responded, Liu Zhiyuan pointed at the pouch-like item on the table and asked, “What’s in there?”

Taking a deep breath, Yun Jing muttered, “Because Little Shang was in a rush to enter seclusion, he didn’t have time to organize the treasures within. However, he already glanced at its contents and he said that there are quite a lot of high-quality treasures within. Most of them should have been gathered during Wen Juxiang’s travels around the various worlds. From what he says, there should be some ancient records and journals of Wen Juxiang’s experiences. They might contain information about his travels to the various worlds, and that should also mean a lot of hidden details have been kept by him. There should also be notes of different cultivation systems in them. There might even be information regarding the Essence Hong World, and those are things we desperately need at the moment. After all, we know pretty much nothing about Essence Worlds now and these are all precious information troves! He wishes for us to quickly organize these things without letting too many people know...”
