Chapter 1285: Chapter 1283: Breaking Through to Grandmaster Level
Jiang Liu sat quietly on the back of the White Dragon Horse. Having just experienced several instances, Jiang Liu wasn’t in a hurry to enter another, but instead, sat on the back of the White Dragon Horse, tinkering with his life profession.
Casually picking up some materials, he opened his life skills, placed the materials inside, then casually clicked.
A brilliant light flashed, and soon, a Heavenly Immortal Level Legendary Level Equipment was forged.
Arriving at the Great Thunder Monastery, a final battle was bound to erupt. Although the number of top-tier combat forces was crucial, the backbone of Heavenly Immortal and Taiyi Realm forces was equally important. Therefore, over the years, Jiang Liu had continuously improved his life profession, naturally preparing a lot of healing potions and corresponding equipment.
Accumulating sand into a pagoda, gathering little to make much, these potions and equipment could significantly enhance the overall strength of the Ming Sect members, so why not?
After forging a few pieces of equipment and repairing a few, Jiang Liu casually made a batch of healing potions, feeling a bit mentally fatigued, he decided not to continue.
Prompt: Blacksmith Profession successfully upgraded, now a Grandmaster Blacksmith!
Just then, suddenly, a system prompt sounded in Jiang Liu’s mind.
The sound slightly invigorated Jiang Liu’s spirit. The Blacksmith Profession upgraded? Reached the level of Grandmaster Blacksmith?
Filled with joy, Jiang Liu opened his life profession interface to take a look.
Sure enough, the Blacksmith Profession had been upgraded to the level of Grandmaster. This meant he could try forging and repairing Epic Level Equipment!
“Great, although Divine Level Equipment is impressive, it’s relatively scarce in number, and forging them requires higher materials. Now I can try forging Epic Level Equipment, so let’s set a small goal first: ensure all Ming Sect members above Taiyi Realm get a few pieces of Epic Level Equipment?”
Seeing his Blacksmith Profession had successfully been upgraded to Grandmaster, Jiang Liu felt secretly delighted, and muttered to himself setting a small goal.
Epic Level Equipment greatly enhances an individual’s strength. Having more pieces might even allow for overcoming slightly weaker opponents, making it extremely vital.
Even for Jiang Liu himself, most of his equipment is Epic Level, which speaks volumes.
Moreover, the utility of top-level Epic Level Equipment like the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors is not significantly weaker than many Divine Level Qualities in some aspects.
Beep beep beep!
Just as Jiang Liu was setting a small goal for himself, planning to equip the core members above Taiyi Realm in the Ming Sect with Epic Level Equipment, the system prompt sounded in his mind.
Jiang Liu opened the friends list to see Gaoyang’s avatar flashing. When he opened the message dialog box, Gaoyang had already discussed with Long Eyebrow Immortal and others. The conclusion was they could integrate illusion techniques with artifact refining skills, achieving the potential for constructing computer terminals and network architecture.
“Hmm, this direction is plausible!”
Considering Jiang Liu’s Blacksmith level had now reached Grandmaster level, he slightly pondered and nodded to himself. Theoretically, it was indeed feasible.
As for whether it could be successfully accomplished? That would be determined in the final practice.
“Mirage Demon, huh?” Seeing the goal proposed by Gaoyang and Long Eyebrow Immortal, Jiang Liu silently contemplated.
Do they want to subdue the Mirage Demon? What exactly is this Mirage Demon?
More importantly, where is this Mirage Demon, making it challenging to subdue?
Even Demon King Ox and Long Eyebrow Immortal don’t know the location of the Mirage Demon.
“The first step seems to be finding the whereabouts of the Mirage Demon!” After pondering for a moment, Jiang Liu determined the first step.
However, searching for this peculiar Mirage Demon is no easy task in this vast world.
More importantly, this matter cannot be delayed. The sooner it’s found, the quicker the internet cafe plan can be implemented.
“It’s a pity, my Treasure-Seeking Mirror can only search for treasures, not people. I don’t know what treasures the Mirage Demon holds, making it tough to use the Treasure-Seeking Mirror to find it.”
“Legend has it that Goddess Nvwa, the Saint of the Demon Clan, wields the Demon-Attracting Flag. If desired, she can gather any demon clan in the world. However, I don’t have any ties with Goddess Nvwa; going to her for help could lead to unpredictable results.”
“Perhaps it would be better to seek help from Human Emperor Fuxi?”
Pondering ways to track the Mirage Demon, Jiang Liu finally focused on Fuxi.
Last time we visited the Flame Cloud Sage Cave, Fuxi was quite accommodating; rather than asking the never-before-met Goddess Nvwa, why not try asking Fuxi instead?
After all, this matter is also in preparation for reinstating the position of Human Emperor. From a rational standpoint, Fuxi should be willing to help, right?
Although the emergence of the Immeasurable Kalpa has led to chaos in the celestial calculations, greatly affecting the ability to foresee, Fuxi is known as the strongest in calculation abilities across the Three Realms and Six Paths. Even if only a fraction of that ability remains, Jiang Liu believes Fuxi should be able to discern some clues…
Finding the Mirage Demon, of course, the sooner the better, so after pondering for a moment and having a general idea, Jiang Liu decided to set off immediately.
In the Journey to the West pilgrimage team, only Jiang Liu currently holds the identity of the Human Clan, so after telling Sun Wukong and the others a few words, he continued flying towards the direction of the Flame Cloud Sage Cave.
“Sigh…” Watching Jiang Liu turn and leave, staring for a long time, Sun Wukong suddenly let out a light sigh from his mouth.
“Monkey Brother, why did you suddenly sigh?” Seeing Sun Wukong’s sudden sigh, Zhu Bajie couldn’t help but ask.
However, upon hearing Zhu Bajie’s words, Sun Wukong glanced at him but didn’t seem willing to explain, merely shaking his head and saying: “It’s nothing!”
After dropping that sentence, Sun Wukong lay down on the nearby grass, with a twig in his mouth, appearing to have a lot on his mind.
“This…” Although he said it was nothing, does he really seem fine with that appearance? Zhu Bajie found it a bit baffling.
Could it be that out of nowhere, even Monkey Brother has something weighing on his mind? More importantly, is there something he can’t share with me?
“Senior Brother…” After a moment, the White Dragon Horse came to Sun Wukong’s side and lay down.
At first, when Jiang Liu was reluctant to accept the White Dragon Horse, it was Sun Wukong who came up with the idea to let the White Dragon Horse join the Journey to the West pilgrimage team, so the private relationship between the White Dragon Horse and Sun Wukong has always been quite good.
“Xiaobai!” Hearing this, Sun Wukong turned his head and glanced at the White Dragon Horse.
“Senior Brother, what’s on your mind all of a sudden? Can you tell us about it?” the White Dragon Horse asked Sun Wukong.
“Actually, it’s not really anything specific, just that I feel something isn’t quite right!” Upon hearing the White Dragon Horse’s words, Sun Wukong shook his head and said.
“Bajie is naturally lazy, so I couldn’t be bothered to talk to him about it, but you’ve been with me from the beginning, accompanying our master on the journey, you should know how rapidly our master’s cultivation has advanced over the years!” Sun Wukong said to the White Dragon Horse.
“Indeed, in just less than ten years, our master’s cultivation has reached such heights that surpasses thousands of years of arduous cultivation for others!” Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the White Dragon Horse nodded in agreement, with a sense of lament and amazement.
“Back then, our master’s cultivation level was something we protected all the way west, but gradually, our master’s cultivation has caught up to us, and even his methods have surpassed ours…” Sun Wukong continued.
“Isn’t this a good thing? Could it be? Senior Brother, are you unhappy because the master’s cultivation has advanced too quickly, surpassing you?” Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the White Dragon Horse curiously looked at Sun Wukong and asked.
“I, Old Sun, don’t mean that at all!”
Hearing this, Sun Wukong decisively shook his head, then said: “But, Xiaobai, don’t you think our master has been busy with a lot of things recently? And nearly all of them he’s been managing on his own!”
“This…” Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the White Dragon Horse was momentarily at a loss for words.
But upon closer consideration, it is indeed recent that the master often leaves the disciples to wait while he goes off alone to handle affairs.
“Previously, it was us who protected our master on the journey to the Western Heaven for scriptures, but now, it seems our role is becoming progressively smaller. Even though our master has given us numerous dharma treasures and brought us through rapid cultivation, we still seem unable to keep up with master’s pace…” Observing the White Dragon Horse’s silent demeanor, Sun Wukong followed up.
Upon hearing this, the White Dragon Horse understood Sun Wukong’s meaning.
It seems that recently, the master’s actions make the disciples feel their roles are becoming increasingly irrelevant, unable to be of assistance, hence why there’s something on his mind, right?
The unhappiness isn’t due to the master’s fast cultivation growth, but rather it’s because he feels his growth speed can’t keep up with the master’s, thus leading to increasing frustration, right?
Understanding Sun Wukong’s thought, immediately, the Little White Dragon discreetly glanced at Zhu Bajie beside him.
Muttering to himself that with the master gone, he could finally get a good nap, Zhu Bajie immediately found a soft patch of grass to lie down and sleep.
Seeing the Second Junior Brother like this, coupled with his apparent satisfaction with reaching the Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation level, made it understandable why the Senior Brother didn’t want to talk about his concerns with the Second Junior Brother…
