After receiving Grandpa Wu Zhaoyang's assurance, Shen Qiang, in high spirits, had a meal with Wu Zhaoyang and Grandpa Wu in Wu Zhaoyang's dormitory before leaving.

As soon as Shen Qiang left, Wu Zhaoyang, who had been silent, hesitantly looked at the excited grandpa who was drinking and said, "Grandpa, although this broadsword is made with Thunder Fallen Gold Iron and Soul-Gathering and Soul-Cleansing Sand, after being forged, it's enough to rival an Immortal Artifact."

"However, the existence of the Cultivation World is not a matter of one morning or evening; over millions of years, countless skilled craftsmen have emerged, so this blade can compete with Immortal Artifacts but is still not enough to dominate all and become number one."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Wu Zhaoyang swallowed the strong wine from his cup in one gulp, his flushed face revealing an exhilarating expression, and said.

"Back then, our Wu Family and Ji Family were both called the two great Artifact Refining Families, but because our ancestor couldn't bear to use the Holy Maiden's Essence, we ultimately lost to the Ji Family in a competition. Since then, the Ji Family's Long Chang has dominated the Cultivation World, while our Wu Family's descendants, due to the bet of that time, could only forge one artifact for others in their lifetime."

Looking at Wu Zhaoyang, Grandpa Wu's eyes shone brightly and he said, "Chaoyang, Grandpa is old, and my life is like this, but you are still young, you are the most outstanding successor our Wu Family has seen in three hundred years, with talents no less than our ancestors'."

"So, our Wu Family will not allow your name to be buried, therefore, I have already decided, this blade will be the starting point for your fame to shake the Cultivation World!"

Wu Zhaoyang stood up suddenly, shocked, and said, "Grandpa, do you mean, to forge a soul for it?"

Excitedly, Grandpa Wu solemnly said, "Yes, this Divine Weapon already possesses the basic conditions to surpass all Divine Weapons in the world, it has Thunder Cloud Gold Master, Five Elements Gold, indestructibility, and even the essential treasure for forging a soul - the Soul-Gathering and Soul-Cleansing Sand."

"This Shen Qiang, when you were down, extended a helping hand and gave you a prosperous life, he has graced our Wu Family; if there is a Divine Weapon in this world that can match the Holy Maiden's Essence, it can only be this blade."

Wu Zhaoyang was shocked.

Meanwhile, solemnly, Grandpa Wu said, "Alas, the current technological advancement is rapid, our Wu Family's forging skills no longer fit the mass production trend, and I don't believe there will be a better opportunity to use the Holy Maiden's Essence in the future, so let's decide in this way."

"In the future, should your children grow up, let them learn some other means of livelihood, a blacksmith shop can no longer be sustained, so let's use this Holy Maiden's Essence to repay Director Shen for his recognition and kindness to you."

Wu Zhaoyang looked at his grandpa with a shocked expression for a long time, then said with a determined gaze, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely forge this Divine Weapon within three days!"

"Hmm, keep it up, I know you can do it!"

The Wu family grandfather and grandson encouraged each other.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang, whose mind was very clear, returned to the Mountain Villa after purchasing numerous items.

After briefly explaining the situation to Uncle Tongui.

Shen Qiang went straight to the basement.

Skillfully, based on his memory, set up a Space Array in Yu Liqun's basement.

The array was set up quickly and perfectly.

Standing beside the array, Shen Qiang didn't rush to activate it.

Instead, he thought seriously and repeatedly.

"Before, Ali and I lived on a deserted island for more than half a year, after triggering the space and returning, I found that only a minute had passed in Yu Liqun's basement."

"So if not guessed wrong, as long as this array is here, it can guide me back like a lighthouse."

"But only three days later, Baihua Palace's Treasure Exhibition Conference is about to take place. I have Star Moon's Protection, which allows me to become invisible under the moon, but unable to use True Qi or True Yuan to fight, which feels like being shackled. The only way to break through this is to quickly enter the Yang God Realm."

"This will take a lot of time and will definitely make me miss the Treasure Exhibition Conference."

"But if I can successfully enter that small island and cultivate slowly, even if it takes several years, as long as my Cultivation can successfully enter the Yang God Realm, after returning, there will be enough time to arrange matters concerning the Treasure Exhibition Conference."

"Not only that, more importantly, once all my guesses are confirmed, I will have a space that can change everything, and whenever I need to cultivate, I can immediately enter this space to train."

"That means I can, in a very short time, practice my Cultivation to an extremely high level. In that case, I will have more time and energy to accompany my loved one, even fulfilling my promise to Qingxuan to go to the Immortal Realm to see the Empress will no longer be out of reach."

"This is taking a risk."

"But if I don't do this, how long will it take to have the power to stand against the strong? How long will it take to achieve my dream?"

Thinking about this, Shen Qiang's eyes lit up, and he boldly stepped into the array.

Moreover, he steadfastly activated his Personal Space in an instant.

Boom!

An intense spatial rejection created a hole.

Like a Time-Space Gate.

Then Shen Qiang's figure flashed and disappeared.

It felt like just a blink of an eye.

The next moment.

Shen Qiang's figure fell heavily on the mountain top of the deserted island.

The moist sea breeze swept in, and the golden cicada emerging from Shen Qiang's body appeared, astonished and happy, saying, "Wow, it's only been a few days and those trees have grown so big."

Looking at the familiar outline of the island, Shen Qiang smiled, but just as he turned around.

Shen Qiang saw at a glance, a decayed and unrecognizable skeleton behind him.

The broken fibers, crumbling at a touch into powdered bones, indicated that this skeleton must have been here for hundreds of years.

It's Yu Liqun.

Bending down to pick up that Storage Ring, which originally belonged to Shen Qiang, from the side of the skeleton, Shen Qiang smiled and joked, "It looks like you've found your Paradise."

Having said that, Shen Qiang went down the mountain, heading to the shore where he and Ali once lived.

The charming yet only palm-sized golden cicada hurriedly gave up watching the scenery, calling out, "Master, wait for me!"

Shen Qiang laughed, "You can fly, you're faster than me."

The golden cicada playfully landed on Shen Qiang's shoulder, looking at the azure sea, listening to the roaring waves, saying, "Master, it's just the two of us here this time, I will take care of you like Sister Ali did."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang took her off his shoulder, placing her in front of his eyes for a closer look.

The face of the beautiful golden cicada was no less stunning than Qian Shanxue, her figure's proportions were astonishingly perfect, especially now, she was wearing a swimsuit made for her by Xiu Ju with Illusion Butterfly Silk, wearing a straw hat, her long slender snow-white legs were enchanting and graceful under the thin silk tied at her waist, extremely alluring, but it was a pity, her physique was still too small now.

So Shen Qiang could not help but sigh and said, "Little girl, want to take care of me? Better grow up first."
