Chapter 1356 Forging for Thirty Years, Divine Whip (1)
Connate divine weapons were priceless outside.
Zhou Shu had said many times that he wanted all human martial artists to have a connate divine weapon.
But in reality, until now, there were still very few human martial artists who could own a connate divine weapon.
It wasn't that Zhou Shu was lying, but even if he kept forging connate divine weapons day and night, it was far from satisfying the needs of human martial artists.
Moreover, after the series of battles, Zhou Shu had no time to forge connate divine weapons.
If he hadn't taken action back then, the human race would have been destroyed. So what if he could forge more connate divine weapons during this period of time?
It was Zhou Shu's Ten Imperial Cauldrons that had temporarily bought the human race some time to catch their breath.
Only then did he have time to forge connate divine weapons.
But at the same time, these connate divine weapons still couldn't be supplied to human martial artists.
He needed these connate divine weapons to hire a group of mercenaries.
Ding Dang!
Another connate divine weapon was thrown onto the pile of successfully forged connate divine weapons.
"Your Highness, it's the 9,567th one!" a voice called out in surprise.
He was the forger in charge of counting the number of weapons.
His face was full of excitement, as if he had witnessed a miracle.
Nearly ten thousand connate divine weapons. Wasn't this a miracle?
He would never have imagined that he would be able to see the birth of so many connate divine weapons one day.
As a forger, what could be more exciting than witnessing the birth of so many connate divine weapons?
"Only 9,500?" Zhou Shu frowned. In the Eight Views Palace, with the enhancement of his Heavenly Emperor Jade Book, only a day had passed outside.
In order to maintain the flow of time in the Eight Views Palace, Zhou Shu was constantly using a massive amount of spiritual essence.
If not for the fact that the battles in the Demon Realm were continuing and he was constantly obtaining rewards from the Legendary Armament Canon, he might not have been able to last so long.
A month had passed outside, but thirty years had passed here.
In thirty years, after gathering all the strength of the Huaxia Pavilion, he had only forged more than 9,500 connate divine weapons…
This forging speed was already very fast. It was almost equivalent to forging one connate divine weapon every day.
But it was still too slow for Zhou Shu.
It had to be known that the Huaxia Pavilion had an abundance of forging materials. They didn't have to worry about not having enough forging materials at all.
Under such circumstances, spending 30 years of hard work and still not being able to forge 10,000 connate divine weapons was a failure.
"Only?"
Zhou Shu felt that it was a failure, but Shi Songtao and the others already felt that they were very successful.
They were forging one connate divine weapon almost every day. If news of this forging speed spread, it would scare other forgers to death!
Under normal circumstances, it was very normal to take a few months or even a few years to forge a connate divine weapon.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes and experienced it personally, they would never have believed that they could forge a connate divine weapon a day.
Even if everyone had worked together to accomplish this, it was still unbelievable.
Everyone sighed in their hearts. His Highness is indeed His Highness. He's not satisfied even with such results.
No wonder His Highness's forging skills are unparalleled.
Only with this spirit of perfection can His Highness become the greatest forger in the world.
"Pavilion Master, we're only a few hundred connate divine weapons away from completing our goal," Shi Songtao said. "Let's work harder. We'll definitely be able to complete it in a year!"
A year here was only a day outside. There should still be enough time.
"The speed of forging is slower than I expected. This means that there's still room for improvement in our forging process." Zhou Shu pondered. "There's no hurry for the last few hundred connate divine weapons. Let's cooperate in some other ways."
The assembly line forging technique was Zhou Shu's creation and also the exclusive ability of the Huaxia Pavilion.
The Huaxia Pavilion had gathered over 90% of the forgers in the ancestral land. These forgers each had their own duties. In fact, their efficiency had more than doubled compared to when they worked alone in the past.
Now that Zhou Shu was personally overseeing, everyone once again displayed their intelligence and began to consider how to further increase the efficiency of their forging.
…
In the Demon Realm of the ancestral land, Yao Qing's expression was solemn. He formed hand seals, and fire dragons danced up and down.
Yao Qing's previous life was the Bai Ze King Bai Yue, the only disciple who had obtained Zhou Shu's forging legacy.
He had long cultivated his Iron Smelting Hands Technique to the highest realm.
Apart from Zhou Shu, only Yao Qing had cultivated the Iron Smelting Hands Technique to this level.
He could already use the Iron Smelting Hands Technique to refine weapons with his bare hands as he pleased.
Even so, his expression was incomparably serious.
This was the personality he had inherited from Bai Yue. When forging, no matter what divine weapon he forged, he would do his best.
Moreover, the divine weapon he was forging now was not an ordinary divine weapon.
Boom!
In the sky, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. A connate divine weapon took shape between Yao Qing's hands.
Yao Buqi, who had been watching, asked curiously, "Is this the connate divine weapon you mentioned that can withstand the power of the curse in the demonic beast bloodline?"
Previously, Yao Qing had told him that he could forge a connate divine weapon to extract the portion of the bloodline of the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm that had been infected by the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom's Black Emperor and let the demonic beasts regain consciousness.
