God of Slaughter Chapter 407 Blacksmith’s Secret of Success

“The energy fluctuations are very violent there. Except for the four kinds of terrifying disasters, there’re also three layers of barriers. Even I could not break inside.” The Ice Cold Flame sent a message to Shi Yan.

Standing under the enormous beast, Shi Yan frowned and quietly observed the beast’s massive pupil.

After sensing for a while, he realized that the energy fluctuations there were intimidating. Without using the external force, he didn’t believe he could enter that Heaven Gate.

“Isn’t it true that you have a secret treasure that could break all kinds of barriers?” The Ice Cold Flame communicated with him again. “Maybe you can use that secret treasure to enter the Heaven Gate to find out the secrets in there.”

Shi Yan was startled and then beamed a smile.

He took out the Sky-breaking Shuttle, pouring his divine sense into it to connect with the soul inside. “Can I enter that Heaven Gate?”

The Sky-breaking Shuttle suddenly emitted an intense light. The edge of the Sky-breaking Shuttle faintly pointed to the Heaven Gate, shooting out a ray of fine silver light, shining on the Heaven Gate.

Half a day later, a response was sent to him. “You can go inside, but I need half of your Profound Qi to break the barrier.”

Shi Yan thought for a while and slightly nodded. “Ok. I will pour the Profound Qi into you. Get through the channel. I want to go in there.”

After talking, Shi Yan poured the Profound Qi from his body into the Sky-breaking Shuttle.

Under the massive Profound Qi infusion, the Sky-breaking Shuttle suddenly discharged bright silver light hitting that Heaven Gate.

Bang.

A shocking quiver came from the Heaven Gate as a bunch of bright silver lights emerged from there.

Shi Yan didn’t think too much, immediately turned into a bunch of stars which followed along that bright silver light to directly penetrate the Heaven Gate and disappeared instantly.

In a vast expanse of space, there was only a decayed mummy.

This mummy wore a blue gown, and it was sitting cross-legged. His left hand held a very thick, old book and seemed like it was carefully reading the contents of the book.

It should be a God Realm warrior who had condensed his great power to build this strange space.

In this space, Shi Yan immediately remembered the space that he had entered before, which had been created by the Star God Ouyang Zhi. The scene here was not as bright as that space but very similar.

This space here should also be built by a God Realm warrior. This one was not the same type of Heaven Gate that had been created over so many years like the Chasm battlefield. Instead, it had been created by a God Realm warrior out of sheer boredom.

This Heaven Gate didn’t seem to be too mysterious nor dangerous. The territory area was also limited.

Standing in this strange space, Shi Yan looked around and saw only misty white fog all over the place. He couldn’t see farther anyway.

Hesitating for a while, he didn’t rush to check that mummy yet. Instead, he walked around but got nothing.

In this spacious area, there was nothing else except this mummy.

All the mysteries were perhaps in that ancient corpse. Shi Yan slowly walked to the mummy while the rest of his Profound Qi was quietly gathering. The Star Shield and the Dark Shield then spread out together to guard against any dangers that might bounce up from that ancient mummy.

Beyond his expectation, even after he came close to that corpse, he didn’t encounter any dangers nor felt any barriers.

When he was close to the corpse, he could see four words on the old book that the ancient corpse was holding in his hand – ‘Blacksmith’s Secrets of Success.’

What?

Shi Yan’s heart slightly bounced while his eyes were brightening.

Is this the secluded place of the ancient blacksmith?

Lingering here for quite a long time, through his subtle observation, he knew that this place should be the gathering place of blacksmiths. There were many furnaces, forging materials, which were no longer useful, and also some secret treasures that had been refined.

Apparently, there existed many powerful blacksmiths in this strange space. Although Shi Yan didn’t know why all of them had disappeared, he could be sure that everything here was related to blacksmiths.

In the ancient time, blacksmiths and alchemists were both crucial parts of the warrior’s world.

Whether it was in ancient times or modern times, blacksmiths and alchemists both enjoyed a distinguished position. Every blacksmith or alchemist was an extraordinary warrior. Secret treasures refined by blacksmiths and pellets refined by alchemists were the important factors in enhancing warriors’ strength. If a warrior held a powerful weapon as well as all kinds of pellets, then whether in practice or battle, he would surely have the upper hand over one who didn’t possess these items.

A blacksmith with a profound realm could create Sacred level secret treasures. Such a blacksmith would have the respect from all other warriors.

The reason that the Spirit Treasure Sect could dominate the Divine Great Land for so many years was thanks to having many blacksmiths and alchemists. If it didn’t have a big number of blacksmiths and alchemists with high levels like that, perhaps it might not be able to become one of the seven ancient factions of the Divine Great Land.

In short, blacksmiths in this world were absolutely precious, and they received respect from all warriors. The more powerful a blacksmith was, the better privilege he could have.

Although this blacksmith had been weathered for so many years, he still maintained his reading posture. Shi Yan didn’t know at which level this blacksmith was, but if he could build the Heaven Gate, he was at least a God Realm warrior. A blacksmith would consider being a powerful blacksmith as their important pursuit. Levels were only a necessary condition to fulfill in their pursuit.

In general, a blacksmith with God Realm cultivation base might also be a Sacred level blacksmith and could refine Sacred level secret treasures.

A Sacred level blacksmith.

Shi Yan line of sight moved while his eyes brightened.

In the entire Divine Great Land, God-level blacksmiths seemed to have disappeared a long time ago; the most powerful blacksmith now was only at the Sacred level, who could refine sacred level secret treasures.

Even the Spirit Treasure Sect only had two Sacred level blacksmiths, who were the most powerful protectors for the Spirit Treasure Sect’s domination in the Divine Great Land.

Shi Yan’s eyes brightened. He stared at the old book ‘Blacksmith’s Secrets of Success’ in the mummy’s hands. His heart pounded fast as he couldn’t stop the desire to possess that book.

He didn’t know if it were dangerous.

Shi Yan stretched his hands out to catch the ‘Blacksmith’s Secrets of Success.’ His skin turned to purple while many spots of starlight were twinkling on the back of his hand.

He was very cautious.

When one of his fingers touched that ‘Blacksmith’s Secrets of Success,’ a brutal surging spirit suddenly burst out from the old book.

Instantly, Shi Yan’s Sea of Consciousness swayed. His spirit seemed to be locked by a mysterious soul barrier; he couldn’t even think.

Truly powerful!

Shi Yan reacted decisively, retrieving his hands, holding his breath, and reinforcing his mind.

As soon as his fingers left the ‘Blacksmith’s Secrets of Success’, the surging spirit also disappeared.

It seemed that as long as he didn’t touch the old book, there would be no spiritual fluctuations released. However, with a slight touch, those surging spiritual beams would lock his mind and directly imprison his spirit.

With a cold face, Shi Yan didn’t dare to retake the actions. He carefully looked at the old book and didn’t find anything unusual. After Shi Yan pulled his finger back, there was no spiritual sense.

He knew that the terrifying spiritual surging was definitely from the old book. Maybe it came from its pages.

Every page might also have a strong spiritual fluctuation. As long as he touched it, he would suffer from the impact of that energy.

Although he had reached the Sky Realm, he didn’t know what to do with these horrifying spiritual fluctuations.

He had a deep understanding of various types of Upanishads, and his perception of souls was much more profound than that of a typical warrior. So, if even he couldn’t resist this kind of terrible spiritual surging now, he believed that other Sky Realm warriors would absolutely find it difficult to feel safe under the impact of those fluctuations.

No matter what, he needed to take the book first. This old book was definitely a precious treasure of the blacksmiths.

Shi Yan’s eyes changed a little bit. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind. No matter how evil this book was, he had to keep it in his Storage Ring, and then, he could slowly explore its secrets later.

He reached out again. This time, he pointed the Storage Ring towards the old book and then waited until it touched that old book. Then, he quickly triggered his mind.

A flow of light flashed. That old book disappeared and stayed inside his Storage Ring.

As long as his fingers didn’t touch the book, the violent spiritual fluctuations would not burst out.

His mind sensed it a little bit, and then he realized that the old book was retrieved by the Storage Ring indeed. He then let out a sigh of relief. He looked at the ancient corpse and wanted to see how abnormal that book was.

Boom.

A loud noise suddenly came up from that ancient corpse. It then turned into a strange plume of smoke and disappeared into thin air in this strange space.

The old book and this weathered ancient corpse seemed to have a close connection. Since the book disappeared from the corpse’s hand, it seemed not to feel the need to exist anymore, and then disappeared just like that.

Not only that, when the ancient corpse turned into ashes, this space also began to crack, as some splits appeared.

Shi Yan’s face changed. He didn’t overthink and immediately communicated with the Ice Cold Flame.

A bunch of silver lights flashed up, and Shi Yan quickly drilled into it. That bunch of light brought Shi Yan flying outside, following the channel that the Sky-breaking Shuttle had broken through earlier.

In the cold space, Shi Yan turned into a column of starlight and returned to the ancient city from that strange space.
