The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 301 Refining Weapons? Let Me Do It

The chaotic world of gods is an ocean world.

There are two main land areas on the ocean.

One area is where countless living beings live, and the other is the core of the entire chaotic world of gods, the Palace of Gods.

“That’s the Pantheon.” Lei Zhan stood on the large ship, looking down at the vast land below, where he could vaguely see the phantom of a majestic and enormous mansion.

Even though it was just a phantom, it still made Lei Zhan, Sanqing, and Bodhi feel breathless, as if they were looking up to a towering mountain.

"The Palace of Ten Thousand Gods." Bodhi's expression changed from relaxed to solemn.

Along the way, they learned a lot about the Pantheon and naturally understood what kind of danger awaited them after entering the Pantheon.

"The mansion left behind by a Dao Lord who defied the heavens has stood so grandly through the endless ages, it's truly..." Feng Mo gazed at it leisurely, "No wonder he was able to chase after an Eternal Emperor back then, even as a Dao Lord!"

“Let’s go.” Lei Zhan smiled. “I’ve already said everything I needed to say on the way here. Once we’re inside, even I have to be careful. So, proceed with caution and remember not to do anything reckless.”

“That’s natural,” Bodhi nodded.

“To act recklessly in a place like this is truly courting death,” Sanqing said.

"Let's go, I can't wait!" Fengmo laughed.

"Hmm." Lei Zhan nodded slightly, leading the three of them as they swooped down towards the majestic and enormous mansion.

Whew! Whew! Whew! Whew!
The four of them encountered a distorted void almost simultaneously, and then disappeared without a trace.

……

"We're in!" Lei smiled, and with a shift in space, a lush, continuous mountain range came into view, one after another, towering majestically, like a sleeping mountain dragon.

"Is this the Myriad Mountains? Each of these outermost mountains holds a hidden treasure." Bodhi gazed into the distance.

As far as the eye could see were countless mountains, and at the end of the mountains, there was an endless mist, and at the very end of the mist, there was an incomparably dazzling and majestic mansion.

The outermost edge of the Pantheon is the Ten Thousand Mountains! Exactly ten thousand peaks!

Further in, there is a vast sea of ​​fog!
At the very heart of the palace lies the dazzling and majestic mansion, the 'Palace of the Gods'.

“That’s right.” Lei Zhan turned to look at Bodhi. “These outermost mountains, exactly ten thousand, correspond to ten thousand treasures.”

However, as countless years have passed, some treasures have long been taken by other cultivators who came to explore, while others have been left behind.

If we're lucky, we might stumble upon treasures that haven't yet been taken by other cultivators.

"Then let's go take a look!" Sanqing looked at the nearest mountain.

In fact, these are all world gods and chaotic immortals.

Based on the experience of many cultivators in the past, the survival rate of ancestral gods and immortals in the Wanchong Mountain area is relatively high, and they generally only venture around Wanchong Mountain.

Most of the World Realm cultivators entered the Sea of ​​Fog, since the survival rate for World Realm cultivators was quite high.

“Let’s go,” Lei Zhan nodded.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
The group soared through the air, flying directly towards the nearest mountain. Upon arriving, they landed on the mountain and obediently began to walk slowly through the forest.

Around them, ripples, barely visible to the naked eye, spread out as they cautiously probed.

They traversed one mountain after another, proceeding cautiously. Although their strength was formidable, comparable to a second-step Dao Lord, they maintained a low profile.

After all, this is the Palace of Ten Thousand Gods, where even true Dao Lords of Life and Death have died many times.

Developing one's potential is one thing, but showing it off too much can easily cause unnecessary trouble.

……

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm?" Fengmo looked into the distance, a blue light suddenly appearing in his eyes. "Look there!"

“That’s…” Sanqing and Bodhi also looked over, “A treasure?”

“It is indeed a discovered treasure.” Lei Zhan followed the gaze of the group and looked into the distance, a smile immediately appearing on his face.

In the distance, amidst the lush green forests, a tightly closed gate could be vaguely seen, its surface adorned with intricate divine runes and restrictions.

"After wandering through these mountains for over a month, I've finally found another treasure. And the door to this treasure is still tightly closed, so the treasures inside shouldn't have been obtained by other cultivators yet." Feng Mo's eyes gleamed.

In the past month or so, they have passed through at least dozens of mountains, but their luck has been much worse.

The treasures buried within these dozens of mountains are either too well hidden to be found, or they have already been obtained by other cultivators, causing the entire treasure space to collapse.

After all, the Myriad Gods Dao Lord was highly skilled. Although every mountain contained a treasure, the mountains were very large, and the treasures were hidden by many restrictions, making them very difficult to find.

“This one, the treasures inside were indeed not taken away, but…” Lei Zhan shook his head and smiled, “But don’t be too happy yet. The door is tightly closed, which means that there are very likely that there were cultivators who entered this treasure space before us and have not come out yet.”

There are ten thousand mountain peaks, and each mountain peak holds a treasure.

Once the treasure gate is opened, it will temporarily close if someone enters to prevent other cultivators from following in!
If Lei Zhan and his group enter this treasure space and fail to take the treasure, the door will open, allowing them to leave directly.

However, if the treasure is obtained, the treasure space will collapse directly, and this passage will open, but the other side of the passage is a completely collapsed dead end.

“Indeed, there’s no rush.” Sanqing said with a smile, “Although some cultivators have entered before us, this treasure is not so easy to obtain. We can try again when the gate reopens.”

“What Sanqing said makes sense. I’ll wait here for a while. Even if we’re unlucky and the treasure has already been taken by someone else, we can just go and look for it again,” Bodhi said.

Their purpose was to gain experience, to explore and hone their skills, and to acquire more treasures. Waiting a little longer was not a problem at all.

“Indeed.” Lei Zhan said with a smile, “Anyone who enters the Myriad Gods Palace knows that there are ten thousand treasures buried in the Myriad Mountains, but how easy is it to obtain treasures?”

Even if ten thousand cultivators went to retrieve it, at most one would be incredibly lucky to obtain any treasures.

Lei Zhan has a thorough understanding of the details of Wan Chong Shan, and the test involved will not be easy.

But as long as it passes through, it will at least be a legacy that can be passed down without limit. Even if it is not used and can be sold, it can still be worth hundreds or thousands of cubic units of Chaos Spirit Liquid.

Moreover, those with sufficient potential who can gain the favor of the array spirit 'Wanshan' will be directly gifted with a treasure.

Lei Zhan thought to himself, "Since I want to enter the core of the Pantheon and get the greatest benefit, I must first let the outermost array spirit know of my existence."

The spirits of the arrays, the spirits of the magical artifacts, and the puppets responsible for the operation of the Pantheon all have means of communication with each other. Once they all know that I am a world god who has comprehended the strongest path, it will make my actions more convenient.” “No rush, no rush! Let’s wait a while.” Patriarch Bodhi casually found a rock to sit down.

For someone in the World Realm, a single seclusion can last for millions or tens of millions of years, so they have the patience to wait for some time.

“There’s no rush.” Sanqing nodded and sat down casually under the shade of a tree.

"There's no rush, so let's wait... Hmm?" Fengmo was about to find a place to sit down when he suddenly paused.

“The cultivators who entered the treasure before us are about to come out.” Lei Zhan looked at the tightly closed gate in the distance and immediately smiled.

Rumble~~~
The treasure gate in the distance was twelve zhang tall, entirely black, with complex and mysterious silver divine patterns on it, radiating faint fluctuations.

The tightly closed gate suddenly opened with a loud 'boom,' and two cultivators, one old and one young, walked out.

……

"Unfortunately, the trials within this treasure trove are far too difficult! Passing through nine layers of restrictions..."

"To fully comprehend and master the profound mysteries of the weapon-refining method within those nine layers of restrictions is too difficult!" A white-bearded old man in gray robes shook his head and sighed.

"Pity."

The short, stout boy in the white robe also looked regretful. "We've been wandering through these mountains for nearly two thousand years, and finally, we've been lucky enough to stumble upon a treasure trove..."

But it's the art of weapon crafting, which neither of us is good at. What a pity.

"Hmm?" An old man and a young man were walking and talking side by side, about to walk out of the deep cave corridor.

But suddenly.

"These...the auras of four World Realm experts?"

Sensing several undisguised powerful auras outside, both the old and the young cultivators' expressions changed.

"This..." The short, chubby boy in white robes gritted his teeth, "What's going on? We've only been here a few days, how come there are four World Realm experts outside?"

"Two Chaos Immortals, two World Gods..." The gray-robed, white-bearded old man felt a little uneasy.

Although they are all cultivators at the level of world gods, their strength is quite average. Otherwise, they wouldn't be stuck here. The myriad mountains surrounding the Myriad Gods Palace are generally inhabited by ancestral gods and immortals.

Glancing at his companion beside him, the gray-robed, white-bearded old man felt slightly relieved and immediately transmitted his voice, "These World Realm experts outside are probably all here for this treasure, and we haven't gotten our hands on it either..."

"This... is true." The short, stout boy in white robes was taken aback, but also felt slightly relieved. Their strength was average, and they didn't have anything good in their possession, so generally no one would bother with them.

Of course, within this Pantheon, no one would slaughter other cultivators without a reason.

Having obtained the treasure, one can leave directly through another passage without having to return the way they came, especially since the treasure space hasn't collapsed.

"Let's go. There's only one passage. There's no other way to leave. We can only face it."

The old man in the gray robe and white beard shook his head and said, "If all else fails, and we really encounter those with eccentric personalities, we might as well fight to the death."

"Let's go. That's all we can do," the short, chubby boy said helplessly.

Boom~~~

As they approached the gate, the previously closed gate slowly opened, and the white-bearded old man and the short, stout boy walked out.

……

"Hmm? They really came out." Feng Mo looked at the old man and the young man who came out of the cave, his gaze passing over the two of them and looking into the deep passage inside, his eyes shining. "Let's go, now that they're out, we can go and try it out too."

"Let's go." Lei Zhan glanced at the two cultivators. They didn't conceal their auras at all, and were also at the World Realm level. Lei Zhan didn't bother to care.

In terms of world-class conditions, their current level of play completely overwhelms a large group.

"Fellow Daoist," Bodhi said with a smile, gazing at the two from afar, "I wonder what kind of trials await within this treasure trove?"

"This..." The white-bearded old man hesitated for a moment, then looked at the four World Realm cultivators who were all looking at them before slowly saying, "The trials inside are related to weapon crafting. You must break through nine layers of restrictions to obtain the treasures inside."

"It's too difficult." The short, chubby boy looked at Lei Zhan and the others, none of whom seemed easy to mess with, and obediently said, "The two of us who participated in that trial and broke the most restrictions only reached the fifth level... The Myriad Gods Dao Lord truly lives up to his name!"

"Weapon refining?"

"Only broken through the fifth layer of restrictions?"

Lei Zhan and the others were all taken aback, but when they turned around, Lei Zhan looked at the Three Pure Ones and smiled:

"This treasure will test your weapon crafting skills. Are you confident in your abilities?"

Among them, when it comes to weapon crafting, Lei Zhan himself is completely ignorant of the art of weapon crafting. Only Sanqing has learned a great deal and is quite skilled in weapon crafting.

It should be known that many powerful magical treasures in the Three Realms were crafted by the Three Pure Ones.

The famous Zhuxian Sword Diagram is so powerful that it makes many powerful beings in the Three Realms tremble at the mere mention of it.

"Refining weapons..." Sanqing shook his head, "We need to take a look first."

"Weapon forging?" Bodhi's eyes lit up with anticipation. "Then let's go take a look!"

……

The group of four walked along the deep corridor to its end, where they found themselves in a vast space, spanning more than ten miles, shrouded in a hazy light.

"Is this the treasure space?" Bodhi looked around, a look of joy on his face. "I wonder what treasures are inside this treasure space."

"Let's go. We'll know what it is once we get it." Lei Zhan smiled and took the lead, passing through the hazy light and directly entering the treasure space.

“Stone coffin. Corpse.” Lei Zhan looked at the center, where a huge stone coffin was placed, and the corpse inside could be vaguely seen. Above the stone coffin, a ball of light was floating.

"That sphere of light contains treasure! Ten thousand treasures throughout the entire Ten Thousand Mountains, each one different." Lei Zhan turned to look at the three who had followed him in, and said with a smile, "Who wants to try first?"

"Who wants to try first?" Sanqing, Bodhi, and Fengmo looked at each other and blinked.

“Since those two cultivators said that the trials here are related to weapon crafting, I’ll go first!” Sanqing said with a smile.
