Chapter 419 Different Paths Lead to the Same Destination; One Path Leads to All
"Why is he buying so many refining materials?"
The Lord of Chaos City didn't deliberately pry into Zhou Ze's privacy, but the sight of Zhou Ze transporting mountain after mountain of refining materials to Chaos City made even him curious.
"Could he be thinking of weapon crafting? He should be learning weapon crafting, otherwise he wouldn't have bought so many low-level materials. What's he up to? Is he tired of teaching? Has he switched to weapon crafting?"
The Lord of Chaos was puzzled.
However, he didn't ask any more questions, because Zhou Ze's original reason for not becoming an apprentice was that he had his own ideas and was unwilling to accept any constraints. Now that he has grown to this point, he has become one of the most outstanding people in the clan.
What they want to do, I couldn't control before, and I can't control now either.
"I hope he won't neglect his cultivation and teaching!" the Chaos City Lord thought to himself.
On the other side, Zhou Ze spent several days memorizing all the books on crafting, from ordinary weapons to the most precious treasures. He understood the low-level weapons instantly.
However, more advanced weapons still require some practical experience to help one understand them.
"This primordial universe doesn't place much importance on weapon crafting. Even the weapon crafting heritage of the human race, one of the six top races, only goes as far as the methods for crafting ordinary supreme treasures."
Zhou Ze shook his head, entered a world ring, and began his daily weapon-refining routine.
He didn't have unrealistic ambitions; he started directly with Force weapons, beginning with ordinary people crafting the most basic weapons: selecting materials, building furnaces, smelting, forging, quenching, and so on.
Zhou Ze started almost from scratch, beginning with understanding the essence of things.
As the days went by, the various weapons around Zhou Ze piled up into a small mountain. These weapons were all ordinary weapons, and there were no weapons with primal force.
But Zhou Ze gained a lot from it.
"The most important thing in weapon crafting is the materials. No matter how superb your crafting skills are, without the materials, you can't cook without rice."
"Making the furnace is also important. You have to make the furnace yourself to fit your own needs. There are many intricacies involved."
"Smelting removes impurities, and this step requires the most inspiration and tradition. Different formulas will produce completely different smelted materials."
"Forging and quenching go without saying. The higher the weapon's level, the more important it is to insert and solidify law runes, inlay gems, and so on. It's quite complicated."
Zhou Ze shook his head. If it weren't for the great use of weapon crafting in the future, he really wouldn't bother continuing.
"Let's begin forging Force weapons—"
Decades have passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Ze was surrounded by all kinds of weapons, including first to fifth-tier Force weapons, psychic weapons, and armor, in countless quantities.
Having already grasped the ten fundamental laws, the most difficult aspect of solidifying the secret runes was actually the simplest for him. Moreover, he had no shortage of materials and possessed various inherited smelting formulas.
In addition, his extraordinary comprehension can be fully applied to weapon crafting, and in just a few decades he has reached the level of a weapon crafting master below the immortal realm.
"Time Acceleration!"
With a thought, Zhou Ze realized that the quenching stage, which normally requires a lot of time to settle, was cooled down in seconds thanks to Zhou Ze's time acceleration.
After cooling down, Zhou Ze continued to melt new materials into the furnace and began forging, quenching, and repeating the process. Once he could use the time acceleration process, Zhou Ze would "cheat".
Through repeated trials and tribulations, Zhou Ze reduced the time it would normally take others several years or even decades to forge weapons to less than a day.
This is why Zhou Ze was able to create so many weapons in such a short time.
Of course, this is because he has already reached a very high level of proficiency in weapon crafting. Otherwise, if someone else were to do it, even if he could accelerate time, an acceleration might cause everything to collapse, and they would have to start all over again.
"The Force weapon is almost finished being forged. The main task is to solidify the runes. The higher the weapon's level, the higher the requirements for solidifying the law runes. If a weapon refiner's laws don't meet the requirements, they will never be able to create a weapon that requires the corresponding laws, even if they die!"
"The weapons used by immortals are actually not much different from the force weapons used by those below the immortal level. Once you reach the level of a realm lord, you not only have to start creating your own secret techniques, but also your own weapons —"
"Once you reach a higher realm, the crafting techniques below the level of a great treasure are not difficult; the key is still the solidification of laws and law runes!"
Zhou Ze pondered carefully: "However, once it reaches the level of a great treasure, the difference between it and the weapons of the past is enormous—"
Zhou Ze thought of the characteristics of treasures and supreme treasures, which can be integrated into the skin and recognize their master. Not only that, but they are also divided into melee, ranged, domain, sealing, soul and so on.
"Let's start forging powerful artifacts right away, beginning with the simplest swords, spears, and clubs—"
Zhou Ze calmed down and began to forge the treasure!
The biggest difference in crafting treasures is that from this moment on, you need to use soul power, and all treasures require a special item, namely the soul crystal!
The smelting of Soul Crystals can change the essence of weapons, giving them spirituality and even life!
The forging of soul crystals is a fundamental skill with countless variations and is extremely complex. If one is not careful, one will fail to forge a treasure and end up with an ordinary force or telekinetic weapon.
Even with Zhou Ze's talent and comprehension, he failed several times and spent over a hundred years before finally forging his first precious longsword.
"Clang~"
Zhou Ze reached out and flicked the light blue, precious longsword in his hand, which looked exactly like the one he usually carried, and it immediately produced a crisp sound.
"Finally, it's done. It was even more troublesome than creating a secret technique from scratch—"
Zhou Ze complained.
He was completely unfamiliar with forging precious artifacts and couldn't use time acceleration to shorten the process. He could only endure it, which is why, even with his talent, it took him a hundred years.
Now that the first treasure has been created, it is a brand new beginning for Zhou Ze. With his mastery of his own power, he can completely replicate the same process without any mistakes under the influence of his mental power.
And so, the second one, the third one—
With the acceleration of time, Zhou Ze created ten powerful swords in one go. The powerful swords that the kings and immortals had always dreamed of could now be bought in bulk by Zhou Ze.
Next, Zhou Ze began to create other types of powerful treasures, such as telekinetic weapons, armor, domains, sealing weapons, and soul treasures.
Once you understand one thing, you understand everything. Zhou Ze succeeded in creating these different types of treasures on his first try, and even accelerated some of the processes in between.
"Sigh, with no shortage of materials, the key is still the solidification of the secret runes and willpower—"
Zhou Ze sighed. Different paths lead to the same destination. Even the way of weapon crafting ultimately comes down to understanding laws and applying those laws, as well as one's will and consciousness.
"If the most important thing in this cosmic sea is the art of weapon crafting, then it wouldn't be just the Mountain-Sitting Guest who can craft top-tier and supreme treasures."
"That would definitely lead to the creation of weapons capable of producing supreme treasures, ultimate treasures, and even weapons of a higher level —"
Zhou Ze thought about many things at this moment. He knew that in the Origin Continent, there were those who became God-Kings through culinary skills; wasn't the Mountain-Sitting Guest a God-King who became one through weapon forging?
