The Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 22: The Visit of Francis

The pain Qin Wentian felt was unbearable. He personally witnessed Qin Rao's head being destroyed by Ye Lang – because he was savagely killed – and a terrible smile on Ye Lang's face … it was something he would never forget.

"Yes Lang!" Both hands clenched. Qin Wentian sat on the training ground, took a deep breath, and calmed down; the blood debt must definitely be repaid with blood.

The sky was already dark, and Qin Wentian at that moment, seemed to have entered his own world, as the hubbub of the outside world was no longer able to influence him. Raising his head to the sky, a brilliant astral light shone, and a faint shadow of the Heavenly Hammer appeared. At that moment, high up in the 5th Heavenly Layer, the Heavenly Hammer Constellation began to flow rays of astral light downward, merging together with his astral soul light, tracing incredible lines of light in the night sky.

The two Yuan Meteor Stones placed by Qin Wentian on top of the Astral Soul he released, were completely attracted to the Astral Light rays flowing downwards, as they soared into the air. The energy released by the Yuan Meteor Stones merged together with an incredible line of light, before it was absorbed by the Heavenly Hammer Astral Soul, which was the last one, undergoing refinement and food – turns into Heavenly Hammer Astral Energy – before flowing towards the four limbs of Qin Wentian, bones, the inside of organs, energy channels and meridians.

A Stellar Martial Cultivator who had condensed an Astral Soul could only absorb Astral Qi from the constellations they had formed his innate link to. Ye Lang's Astral Soul was from the Demon Wolf Constellation, and thus, the Astral Qi he absorbed was infused with the aura characteristics of unrestrained ferocious beasts. As for Qin Wentian, his Astral Soul condensed from the Heavenly Hammer Constellation, and thus he was endowed with tyrannical attacks as well as a talent for for forging.

Previously, when Qin Wentian had directly absorbed the Astral Energy contained within the Yuan Meteor Stone, it was simply no way to compare with the Astral Energy he absorbed from the Heavenly Hammer Constellation. And thus, for greater efficiency in processing the absorbed energy, Qin Wentian first used his Astral Soul to absorb the astral energy contained within the Meteor Yuan Stone, which was the most powerful, before allowing the Astral Energy of the Heavenly Hammer Constellation of the 5th Heavenly Layer to "purify" the astral energy before absorbing it into his body. Despite the fact that he knew that it would cause some of the Astral Energy to disperse.

After a while, when Qin Wentian felt that his entire body had been infused with Astral Energy, he circulated Astral Energy around his body as he activated the Tempered Thousand Hammers Refinement Technique. Instantly, cracking and rumbling sounds rang out as a fierce tremor shook his body. His Qi and blood surged, similar to the ocean waves that broke – to the point where all his muscles started to shake, when the tyrannical energy made his body furious by forcing him to break through his limits over and over again, as the tyrannical energy made his body furious, until his fleshy body became stronger, and more perfect.

The second day, news of the Qin Residence was surrounded, spread throughout Sky Harmony City. There were many of them who came to the outside of the Qin Residence who sighed sadly – the majestic Qin Clan of the past, before long it became a historical remnant.

Outside of the Qin Residence, were the Chu Dragon Guards of Sky Harmony City, as well as the Silver Feather Legion led by Icehawk, and the Asura Wu army. These three powerful forces left the Qin Residence trapped in a tight net so that not even a drop of water could leak. Intermittent, they would send troops to test the defenses of the Qin Residence, while the Qin Clan members fought stubbornly, sending their strongest Martial Cultivators, as well as their Defenders, to guard the main entrance.

The pedestrians and outsiders watching the scene, sighed in their hearts, as they felt that the Qin Clan was clearly incapable of holding back any longer, and would most likely be annihilated.

“There are only two more days for Annual Presentation Day. I wonder if the Qin Clan will still be able to survive until next year. ”This thought resonates in the hearts of many. The Yearly Presentation Day is the day before the end of the year, and it is also the day for people to offer sacrifices to their ancestors.

A depressed feeling suppressed the entire atmosphere in the Qin Residence, as Qin Chuan and important members of the clan gathered inside the war hall to discuss tactics and strategies.

"Three great legions: as long as our opponents release orders, we have no choice but to clash directly – and based on the strength of our Qin Clan, we don't even have any hope of winning." Qin Chuan's gaze wandered about, looking at everyone, as he stated.

"How strong is our Defender?" Someone asked, as that person looked to Qin Chuan. Don't mention external parties, even the people from the Qin Clan themselves are unsure of the strength of their Defenders.

"The Defenders are all elites of our Qin Clan, and can be considered stronger than most of the troops out there. However, taking the whole perspective into consideration, the difference between the forces of our troops is still too great. "

"What about those who were loyal to King Wu in the past? Are they going to lead their army to save us? "

"The old patriarch should have his own arrangement, but the water from afar was not able to extinguish the fire that was near. Moreover, the troops belonging to the three powers did not seem to be in a hurry to start the attack, yet still seemed very confident this – was what I was worried about. "Qin Chuan sighed. The hall of war was simply filled with his voice, with no one else proposing another strategy.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Chuan ordered, "After the battle begins, I will mobilize the division of the troops, and place them under the command of Qin He and Qin Ye. the two of you are responsible for protecting the safety of Wentian, Qin Yao, and the entire younger generation. Remember this clearly, you are not allowed to clash with our enemies, and are only allowed to escape.

"Sister, I'm not a coward." Qin Ye shouted furiously.

“We have reached the limit of our cultivation level. The younger generation is the hope of the Qin Clan. I did put them under your responsibility, but this does not mean that I caused you to be a coward – do you understand now? "Qin Chuan slammed his palm onto the table, as he roared furiously, causing the expression from Qin Ye to tighten.

“This is not open for discussion. Those who defy my orders, are unfit to be members of my Qin Clan. "

Qin Chuan's words, caused everyone to become speechless. Qin Yao and the younger generation, including Qin Wentian, were unhappy with the decision as well, as they nurtured anger in their hearts, they want nothing more than to clash with their enemies.

"Clan Leader." At this moment, there was someone entering the hall from outside as he spoke, "Clan Leader, Grandmaster Francis of the Star River Association is requesting an audience with you."

"Star River Association?" Traces of astonishment flickered in Qin Chuan's eyes, as he replied, "Act him."

Shortly after, Francis entered the large hall, and upon his arrival, Qin Wentian involuntarily showed a strange expression on his face.

"Francis greet Mr. Qin Chuan."

"Grandmaster Francis, please don't stand at the ceremony with me, may I know the reason behind your visit?" Qin Chuan was very polite. The status of the weapon craftsmen was indeed extraordinary.

"I'm here to look for Young Master Wentian." Francis revealed a bitter smile, as he glanced at Qin Wentian. That day, Murin had announced that he would choose Francis to accompany him to the Royal City, and Francis, in a moment of greed, had made a false claim against the creation of the divine weapon that Murin inspected. He never thought that Murin wanted him to duplicate the creation process again, which caused him to fall into a depression, and thus, he had no choice but to question Lin Yue, who was the only one who had ever been seen, and finally discovered the identity of the young man who wanted to become an apprentice, who was actually Qin Wentian. Although the Qin Clan was surrounded by enemies, Francis still had no choice but to choose to visit.

The faces of the members of the Qin Clan all displayed strange expressions; why would a grandmaster want to look for Qin Wentian?

"Is there a problem?: Qin Wentian was indifferent.

"i want to cooperate with little brother Wentian to forge divine weapons together, I wonder if little brother would be willing to give me a chance." Francis could feel that the attitude Qin Wentian showed towards him was extremely cold, and thus, he had no choice but to smile, when he asked for help, with a pitiful tone in his voice.

QIn Wentian trembled lightly. This francis actually wants to forge a divine weapon together with me? Could it be that the previous divine weapon that I randomly created had exceeded its standard? Otherwise, there should be no reason why he was looking for me.

"It looks like the divine imprint of the memory fragment that I gained insight into, is incredible." Qin Wentian secretly thought, that there is a possibility of this existing, because he involuntarily let out a cold laugh, as he replied, "Right now, my Qin Residence is in a crisis, the, I have no time to accompany Grandmaster Francis in forging divine weapons. And as for the embryonic liquid and metallic liquid I used before, I can't afford it, please leave. "

Francis smiled bitterly as he looked at Qin Wentian, lowering his voice as he pleaded, "Young Master Wentian, please let me know if you have any conditions."

"First, tell me the reason why you want to forge a divine weapon with me." Qin Wentian looked at Francis that the weapon made earlier was only a first-rate divine weapon, therefore Francis should be able to emulate it as well. Although the carvings of the divine imprint cannot be compared to those written by Qin Wentian, there is no need for Francis to lower himself in such a way, pleading for help from Qin Wentian.

Francis showed an awkward expression.

"If the Grandmaster doesn't want to reveal the reason, then there's nothing to discuss."

Francis glanced at Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan understood the meaning as he waved his hand, signaling the majority of the Qin Clan members left the hall.

"Grandmaster, you can say it now." Qin Wentian said, causing Francis' facial expression to stiffen, as he sighed in his heart. He had no choice anymore, and thus, he revealed the fact that happened after Qin Wentian left that day. After hearing the reason, Qin Chuan and the others, all had expressions of shock and awe on their faces – Qin Wentian could actually write down a divine imprint!

“Wentian, I can send you to Star River Association. That murin, he will definitely ensure your safety. "Qin Chuan's eyes flickered with a sharp light. This Murin was the division leader for the armaments division of the Star River Association, and was endowed with extremely powerful abilities with matters relating to forging, thus increasing his status and position. If he helped, the Qin Clan would definitely survive.

Grandmaster Francis who was standing at the side, had an anxious expression on his face. The current felt as if it was trapped between a rock and a hard place.

"Grandmaster Francis." Qin Wentian looked at Francis as he said, "There's no way I'll forge a divine weapon along with you. However, the reason why you want to accompany Murin, is purely to improve your ability in forging weapons.I have gained insight into many divine imprints, and can share some with you, I have already gained insight into many divine imprints, and can share some with you, so that you too, can explain to Grandmaster Murin. "

Francis' face froze, it seemed impossible for him to make Qin Wentian agree to forge a divine weapon together. However, if Qin Wentian was really willing to hand over the divine imprint to him, it wouldn't be too bad either – at most, he would just apologize and hand over the divine imprint to Murin.

"If that's the case, I should thank Young Master Wentian," Francis replied politely.

"Wait a minute." Qin Wentian walked out of the hall, causing strange expressions to be displayed on the faces of Qin Chuan and the others.

"Sister, have you taught Wentian about the divine imprint?" Qin He asked curiously.

“The Divine Footprint is very mysterious and complicated. I, myself, have not gained enough insight about them, how could I still be able to teach them to Wentian. "Qin Chuan shook his head, as he chanted in a low voice," Strange ....... Qin Yao, Wentian is always close. To you, do you know anything about this? "

"That little evil egg still hides a lot of secrets from me." Qin Yao pouted, however, she still wished for Qin Wentian to be able to accept the lifeline offered by the Star River Association. This way, the Star River Association would ensure his safety and extend their protection to the Qin Clan, resolving the crisis.

After some time had passed, Qin Wentian returned with many iron sheets, causing even more bizarre appearances to be displayed on Francis's face, and on the other Qin Clan members. But when Francis received the iron sheet that Wentian had given him, and upon careful examination, his heart trembled in the excitement of this – was a divine imprint, and not only that, everything was inscribed intricate, beautiful, beautiful, and beautiful. How could Qin Wentian manage to write down such a perfect footprint?

"Forged-type Astral Soul." Francis' heart trembled, as he looked at Qin Wentian

"Right, my Astral Soul is a Forger-type Astral Soul, condensed from the constellations in the 3rd Heavenly Layer. I can give this iron sheet to you, and moreover, it is condensed from the constellations in the 3rd Heavenly Layer. I can give this iron sheet to you, and moreover, it is, if Grandmaster Francis is willing to supply us with some divine weapons, I am willing to use the divine imprint to exchange them. "Qin Wentian's words almost caused excitement to bubble out of Francis. The divine imprint of Qin Wentian was extremely beautiful. As long as he could gain insight into one of them, in the future, creating a top grade tier 1 divine weapon would be very simple for him.

"Okay, I'll say goodbye first." Francis nodded heavily, he decided to give up after returning. He believed that with this print, Grandmaster Murin would not blame him too much.

Qin Wentian's expression flickered, as he watched Francis leave. He deliberately displayed his forging talent, wanting to borrow Francis' mouth to pass the news to Grandmaster Murin. With Murin's strength and status, there was probably a chance he could resolve this crisis for the Qin Clan.

"Dad, I'll go first." Qin Wentian departed from the great hall, as he made preparations to gain insight into the unfathomable and mysterious tier 2 divine imprint.
