C15 Slaying the heavens

The southeastern part of the Tang Dynasty Region was the most lively area in the capital. It was a place where all sorts of different types of people lived, where fish and dragons mixed together, and where the most bustling trading area of the entire Tang Dynasty was located.

To the north and west of the trading area were the residences of the tycoons of the merchants. Thousands of servants and huge mansions were closely connected to the trading area. It was a scene of prosperity and prosperity. South of the trading area was the southeast gate of Shangjing, which was precisely where the merchants were going in and out.

On the east side of the trading area was a region where goods were processed. This place was inhabited by the poor people of almost the entire Shangjing. They were situated at the lowest level of society and engaged in a large amount of work every day in exchange for essential living necessities.

In the middle section of the commodity processing zone, there was a smithy, but it seemed to be out of place in the surroundings. Many rich and powerful young masters and martial artists frequently visited this place because it was the "world's best blacksmith" bestowed upon by the late emperor.

In the forging workshop of the metal shop, a young man who appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old was bare-chested. The young man's fair body seemed out of place in this room.

He was forging a weapon, and next to him stood an old man in his sixties or seventies, and a middle-aged man, also bare-chested, both watching the young man as if a work of art were about to be born.

In just a moment, the young man let out a loud shout, and a huge sword-shaped object flew into the Pond of Refinement next to him. A dragon's roar rang out, and the Pond of Refinement was filled with a three-foot-long, three-inch, half-foot-wide sword.

Its entire body was dark, its great sword blade-less, but it emitted a cold aura. The middle-aged man walked over and grabbed the gigantic Long Sword s with both of his hands. Sensing the gigantic sword's weight, the middle-aged man could not help but increase his strength by 20%.

Under the gazes of the old man and the young man, he let out a loud shout and swung down forcefully. A sword mark that was an inch long appeared on the Sword Testing Stone, flashing with blue light at the same time. The middle-aged man laughed: "Amazing, another divine sword ah, Long'er, it seems like you have already left your master's training!"

The three people in the room were Smelting Clan, Fang Tian and Fang Yunlong.

Fang Yunlong was already thirteen years old, but due to years of practicing martial arts, he looked like a seventeen or eighteen year old adult. It had already been more than six years since he returned home from Tiger Hidden Valley with his grandfather. In these six years, quite a few changes had occurred.

In these few years, for the entire Tang Dynasty, a major event had occurred. Tang Dynasty was the largest nation in the entire nation, but to the south of Tang Dynasty, there was a great Song Empire. Although it was only half the size of Tang Dynasty, it was brave, fierce, and extremely aggressive.

A few years ago, after annexing a few small nations, he suggested that they could compete with Tang Dynasty for the position of Yuzhou's overlord. Tang Dynasty had already sat in the overlord's position for a thousand years.

Of course they would not give up so easily, so the two countries began to attack each other tentatively. They were all trying to find each other's weaknesses, hoping to defeat the other.

It was just that the wars between big countries were too huge and could not be easily waged. Thus, in the past two years, there was only a small fight every three days and a big one every seven days. However, there was no national war.

As for the Fang Family, Fang Ligong had spent most of his time in seclusion these past few years, trying to comprehend the insights he had gained from his discussion with Tang Yuan.

Fang Tian Feng's business was booming, his martial arts had broken through to the fifth level of the 'Holy Mantra of Li Huo', and he was now at the sixth level. He was famous in the martial arts world, like the sun in the sky.

When he looked forward to entering the Upper Sky, he would be busy with the business of the Evil Fire Escort Office and would be at home for a short period of time.

Fang Yunlong's father, Fang Tianshui, had become the Great Tang Dynasty's Right Premier and had a status only lower than the Left Premier. His authority had increased in these few years, and because of Fang Tianshui's youth, his status became even more imposing.

The officials generally believed that the later Minister Zuo would be none other than himself. Students of the imperial court would be everywhere, and this would become a huge force of Tang Dynasty that could not be ignored.

In the past three years, when the number one craftsman in the world stopped crafting weapons, he had already become the world's number one craftsman after the number one craftsman in the world, and the price of the weapons he forged was hard to come by.

Fang Yunlong's best friend, Fang Tong, had been living in the attics in the backyard of the Fang Residence for the past few years, rarely showing his face.

Fang Yunlong's older sister, Fang Shan, had already been married for three years. Zhang Li was from the Fu family, and was an escort from the Fiery Escort Office.

As for Zhang Li's father, Zhang Yong, he was one of the three great escort officers of the Fiery Gilt Steel Ops. He was a master of martial arts and was only second to Fang Tianfeng in the Fiery Blaze Escort Company.

Second sister Fang Yu had always been with her best friend in Fang Tong's pavilion, learning some four books and five scriptures, as well as an absolute art of formations. A year ago, her father, Fang Tianshui, had already arranged a marriage for her. Her husband was the eldest son of the Military Department's Minister of War, Tong Qian, Tong Jing.

Due to the tense situation at the border, Tong Jing, as the deputy commander of the elite cavalry in the southern region, couldn't return to the capital in a short time, so the marriage was delayed. However, it was nearing the end of next year.

Third sister Fang Ling had the highest martial arts skills among the three sisters, and she often accompanied Fang Yunlong in male attire as she sneaked out of the Fang Residence. He was already the age for marriage.

However, she always expressed her unwillingness to marry. Furthermore, her second elder sister was not married yet, so there was no need for her to be in such a rush. However, after Fang Yu's wedding next year, Fang Tianfeng expressed that he would definitely not give her the chance to drag things out.

Younger Sister Fang Qing, ever since she was young, other than Fang Ligong and Fang Yunlong, there was no one else in the entire Fang Residence who had not been duped by her.

Fang Ligong had been in closed doors cultivation for a long time, and had never come out easily, so Fang Qing had not seen him do it much, not to mention that Fang Ligong had already reached the highest realm of the Innate Realm, so it was impossible for Fang Qing to see through him.

On the other hand, Fang Yunlong had a very cute Xiaoyun, Fang Qing liked it very much, and would take it from Fang Yunlong's hands several times, but in the blink of an eye, the Xiaoyun had already ran to Fang Yunlong's side, so she loved the house dearly. Fang Qing only fawned on her brother Fang Yunlong every day.

Fang Ligong had named him Fang Yunhu. This little fellow had inherited his father's body, which was naturally born with a very firm and strong body, and also innately strong strength. Although it wasn't like Fang Yunlong who was a genius in martial arts, it wasn't like him.

But it was also an excellent bone. He would often follow his brother Fang Yunlong and become Fang Yunlong's other burden.

As for Fang Yunlong himself, the changes in these few years were even more obvious. With the help of Tang Yuan's six Soothing Muscle Pills, he had successfully forged a copper skin and iron bone. The blade was truly difficult to cut.

As for internal energy, with the help of the Pei-Yuan Dan, he had successfully broken through the fourth layer of the "Holy Mantra of Fire and Li" and entered the fifth layer three years ago.

He did not know why, but after he had originally cultivated the "Holy Fire Scripture of Li Huo" to the fifth layer, his skin had regained its original color and was no longer a light red. Unexpectedly, Fang Yunlong's skin had become white and transparent.

This made Fang Yunlong not look like a martial artist, but instead an elegant scholar. Fang Ligong said to Fang Yunlong after looking at it, it was very similar to the baby that the squirrel gave him. After entering the fifth floor, every time Fang Yunlong had the luck to walk thirty-six cycles in his body.

He always felt that there was a very thin stream of air and Qi flowing through his body, which had no hindrance to his body.

On the contrary, it caused Fang Yunlong's senses to be even more acute and full of spirit. But his dantian was still full, no matter how much Fang Yunlong used up his internal energy, it had never dried up.

In order to take revenge for the Xiaoyun as soon as possible, Fang Yunlong had been cultivating very seriously these past few years. Other than the body tempering and cultivation through internal energy, Fang Yunlong had also read a lot of books and learned the "Li Huo Sword Technique" from his grandfather.

He started to study the Fang family's high level formation technique and her best friend Fang Tong's various formation techniques. It could be said that Fang Yunlong's current formation technique was not inferior to his grandfather Fang Ligong's and best friend Fang Tong's in terms of experience and technique.

These few years, the Xiaoyun had also grown a lot bigger. It was even more mischievous and attached to Fang Yunlong more, jumping around on Fang Yunlong's shoulders everyday. It was extremely adorable.

After coming back from the Tiger Hidden Valley, Fang Yunlong immediately took the stone and went to find the Smelter. After the Smelter's examination, it concluded that it was an Iron Crystal. The Iron Crystal was a product that had accumulated the essence after tens of thousands of years.

It was said that this material was refined by a deity. One day, a customer brought a rock the size of a soybean, and told the smelter to help refine the weapon, but no matter how much the smelter's master increased the furnace temperature, the smelter would still be able to refine a weapon.

However, none of them were able to refine it. In the end, a few Immortals came and started to fight for the sake of the stone. It was only through their conversation that the Smelting process learned that it was an Iron Crystal.

He never thought that Fang Yunlong would bring out such a big piece. The Smelting Clan quickly made him hide it away, a man is innocent, possession of a treasure is a crime.

Knowing that the metal crystal was so hard to refine and was also a material for the immortal to refine, Fang Yunlong was naturally very happy. He was even more interested in refining and would sneak over to the refiner's place whenever he had time to learn refining.

This time, he felt that his level was enough, thus Fang Yunlong suggested that he refine a huge sword. This directly caused all the ingredients that the Smelting Clan had not used for decades to be plundered, to the point that they were naturally preserved.

The metal refined from the meteorite was also expropriated and became a part of the huge sword. After seven days of refinement, it was finally completed.

Fang Yunlong walked over to receive the greatsword. Even though he was exhausted, he was full of spirit and vigor, and thought that if it wasn't for the greatsword's sharpness, it would at least glow with a purple light on the Sword Testing Stone.

Actually, Fang Yunlong had only decided to refine a huge sword by himself because he remembered Yang Bian's Heavy Iron Sword that was one of the Heavenly Engraving Heroic Couples. Furthermore, this huge sword would help him plan his next step.

Holding the huge sword, Fang Yunlong bowed to the Forge Master and Third Uncle, "Many thanks, Third Uncle. Long'er being able to successfully refine the sword requires him to be under the guidance of the two of you."

"Hahaha!" The Smelting Clan laughed out loud, "Now, I am truly the best craftsman in the world. Even if I am taught how to refine divine swords, I have no regrets in this life."

Fang Tian also laughed boldly, feeling proud of Fang Yunlong. At this time, Fang Yunlong suddenly thought that since he had this gigantic sword, then the original Golden Qilin Sword would no longer have any uses. He decided to give the Golden Qilin Sword to his brother Fang Yunhu when he returned home.

Fang Tian suddenly said: "Long'er, give the sword you made a name."

Fang Yunlong slightly muttered to himself and heroically said: "I've decided to call this sword Heaven Severing."
