Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 946 Beginner Warrior

The God-Forging Envoy no longer paid any attention to the Chaotic Heavenly King.

He looked at Zhang Tao with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Human Emperor! You spared no effort to help me escape this predicament. I will remember this kindness!"

As the God-Forging Envoy was about to bow, Zhang Tao quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Senior, you're too kind. I wouldn't dare to take credit for this. Many people have contributed, especially Fang Ping, who contributed the most Saint's Tokens and Heavenly King Seals."

Despite his calm demeanor, the God-Forging Envoy was actually quite excited, and his bow was a bit too forceful.

Zhang Tao had just exhausted a lot of his vital energy, and he hadn't expected the other party to use so much force, so he couldn't hold on.

Instead, he was forced back a step by the impact, his face turning even paler.

Anyone can see that this isn't acting; it's purely coincidental. Zhang Tao is indeed being a bit too unrealistic.

Through their previous interaction, the Divine Forging Envoy could sense that Zhang Tao's qi and blood were quite weak, which was due to the consumption of a large amount of his own essence. He glanced around at the powerful figures around him and loudly announced, "From this day forward, I officially join the New Martial Arts and become a member of the New Martial Arts community."

From now on, anyone who wants to cause trouble for humans will have to get past me first.

The God-Forger was very shrewd; he could see that the Seed was biased towards humanity, otherwise there would have been no need to send him here.

So he didn't hesitate to tie himself to the new warrior's chariot.

These words shocked everyone and came as a complete surprise.

This surprise was quite significant and came too suddenly, leaving several powerful figures in shock.

Fang Ping had a strong heart and was the first to react.

"Haha! Welcome! Welcome!"

Fang Ping laughed excitedly, "On behalf of all the new martial artists, I welcome Senior God-Forging Envoy to join us."

From now on, we're all family!
Please take good care of me, senior!

Fang Ping is now the leader of humanity, so it is more legitimate for him to make his statement.

The addition of the God-Forging Envoy brings humanity six Heavenly Kings, three of whom are top-tier beings among the strongest, making them undoubtedly the number one force in the Three Realms.

Moreover, he is the number one weapon refiner, so repairing or forging divine artifacts will be much easier for him in the future.

Most importantly, the fact that the God-Forging Envoy has made such a statement will encourage more ancient artifacts to come closer to the human world.

The God-Forging Envoy looked at Fang Ping and naturally understood what kind of favor he wanted—nothing more than forging a divine artifact.

He chuckled and said, "Hehe! In the future, as long as any martial artist in the human world collects enough materials, I can help them forge a divine weapon."

Of course, a handling fee will still be charged!

He then looked at Zhang Tao and said, "I just swore an oath to forge a royal artifact for you."

Furthermore, the vital energy you expended to rescue me this time will be replenished double.

The God-Forging Envoy was too excited just now and did say those words. Moreover, the seal was being broken at that time, and the seed would definitely be paying attention to this place. Although it was not a vow made by the Heavenly Dao, it was almost the same.

Therefore, this promise must be kept.

Zhang Tao felt somewhat ashamed. He had indeed consumed a lot of his essence, but it wasn't to unseal the God-Forging Envoy; rather, it was used to refine his own Human Emperor Seal.

Previously, the God-Forging Envoy was an outsider, so naturally the greater the favor owed, the better. Now that he has joined the New Martial Arts, it is somewhat inappropriate to ask for things from others.

However, Zhang Tao still laughed heartily on the surface and said, "Haha! We're all family now, no need to be so polite!"
The creation of the Immortal Source was a karmic debt incurred by the emperors; you were merely implicated.

Besides, being imprisoned for eight thousand years, any karmic debts would have been repaid by now!
So let's skip the Imperial Artifact!
When you have time, you could help repair the damaged artifact; I'll cover the materials and labor costs myself.

Zhang Tao spoke very sincerely and did not act as if he were Zhang Tao's savior, which pleased the God-Forging Envoy.

People began to look at Zhang Tao with new respect.

Has the disgrace to the true king of yesteryear actually changed his ways?

That was an imperial artifact, something even emperors would envy, and he just gave it up like that.

This is not to say that Zhang Tao is not greedy; the imperial artifacts forged by the God-Forging Envoy must be incredibly powerful.

The key question is how long it takes to forge a divine artifact? Given the current situation, the great war between the three realms might end before the artifact is even created.

It's more reliable to let him help repair the artifact; it will be usable soon.

The God-Forging Envoy resolutely replied, "How can that be? What I promised, I must do."

His attitude was very firm. He had said those words under the witness of Heaven. If he went back on his word, who knows what kind of trouble might arise? He was now afraid of these invisible causes and effects.

Seeing that the other party's attitude was so firm, Zhang Tao had no choice but to use stalling tactics, saying, "Then I shall accept it without further ado!"
However, I haven't decided yet what kind of imperial artifact I want.
Once I've finalized the design of the artifact, I'll commission my senior to forge it.

The God-Forging Envoy nodded in satisfaction. He received feedback from his clone and learned everything that had happened.

Others contributed Saint's Tokens to help him escape because they needed his combat power and hoped to fight the Emperor together.

The favor owed isn't too great; I can repay it by helping to forge a divine artifact in the future, provided the other party can provide the materials needed to forge the artifact.

But Zhang Tao used up his own resources to help him get out of trouble, so he may have to pay some other price.

At this moment, everyone looked at Zhang Tao, only to see that his face was pale and his blood and qi were weak, and his aura was barely maintained at the level of breaking through the seventh level.

Everyone showed expressions of appreciation, after all, he had freed up a combat power of over level eight for everyone.

The addition of the God-Forging Envoy to the new martial arts world made Li Zhu feel very frustrated, as it would make it even more difficult to deal with the human world in the future. However, he still said in a gentle tone, "Zhang Tao, your strength has been damaged. Don't stay in front for a while. Stay with the Six Heavenly Kings."

The God-Forging Envoy quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, I'll take your share of the responsibility! Just take good care of yourself."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

All I can say is that Lao Zhang's acting skills are too superb; even a seasoned veteran like Li Zhu was fooled.

Only Zhang Haoran knew that although Zhang Tao seemed to have suffered a great loss, he was actually fine. The power of faith he consumed to pardon the God-Forging Envoy was unrefined, amounting to only a few hundred faith crystals.

This was no problem for Zhang Tao at all, as he still had thousands of faith crystals within his primordial space.

This thing is very cheap, 10,000 value points per piece. In other words, the cost of rescuing the God-Forging Envoy is less than the amount of food that Azure Cat eats for a month.

I wonder what his expression will be when he learns the truth?
This time, Fang Ping, who always loved to curry favor and show off, did not stand up to boast about his achievements. Instead, he stepped back behind the King of Zhen and stood with Mo Wenjian.

He adopted an attitude of being low-key and not seeking credit.

This doesn't mean Fang Ping has changed his personality.

It was because he always carried the avatar of the God-Forging Envoy.

You can just tell your clone what's going on directly; there's no need to be too high-profile in front of others.

We're about to fight the boss, so being too high-profile at this point isn't a good thing.

Fang Ping still remembered the task Zhang Haoran had given him: not to confront the Emperor head-on, as he didn't have the strength for that, but to reap the benefits when the Emperor summoned the Gate of Qi and Blood. So he had to keep a low profile for now.

Fang Ping wanted to keep a low profile, but Zhang Haoran disagreed. At such a crucial moment, how could he let Fang Ping hide?
He immediately sent a message: "What are you doing hiding so far away, kid?"

Fang Ping said confidently, "We're going to war with an emperor. With my strength, how can I not hide? Besides, I'm now at Breaking Seven, isn't it perfect to be with Mo Wenjian?"

Don't even think about making me lead the charge.

Zhang Haoran said irritably, "Who said you were going to lead the charge?"
What good would it do me if you died?

"I called you out now because we haven't assembled everyone yet. Our numbers aren't enough to guarantee a victory against the false emperor!"

"Huh? Are there still powerful figures from the Three Realms who haven't arrived yet?"

"Of course! Have you forgotten the Tengu and the Spring Guardian?"
They are suppressing the Fist God deep in the Forbidden Sea. It seems that the Tengu's fall was related to the Fist God, and they are going there to seek revenge.

Besides, there are many powerful figures on the Chuwu Continent, including more than a dozen Heavenly Kings and Supreme Powerhouses.

You don't want to see us both suffer heavy losses, only to have someone else benefit from the situation!
The initial martial artists were only confined to a few continents; they were not wiped out.

Now that they see our core experts fighting amongst themselves, they'll definitely get involved.

"Beginner martial artists? These guys are so unremarkable! I would have forgotten about them if you hadn't mentioned them."

Fang Ping asked in confusion, "Since they are so strong, why are they being so low-key? Are they just another bunch of old fogies?"

Because of Zhang Haoran's sudden emergence, many plot points have been changed, to the point that the novice martial artist has not had the chance to appear yet.

Fang Ping had no impression of them.

He had no choice but to patiently explain, "The reason why beginner martial artists didn't dare to come out before was because Lin Zi had been wandering around the beginner martial continent."

Whenever a strong person leaves, she rushes in and wreaks havoc.

This was to keep them from having the energy to cause trouble for the Azure Cat.

Lin Zi has now arrived here.

Those who have just reached the initial stage of martial arts mastery no longer have any worries.

Do you think they might be secretly plotting something, waiting for us to fight to the bitter end so they can reap the benefits?

"Holy crap! That's actually quite possible."

Fang Ping exclaimed in surprise, "Those are more than a dozen Heavenly Kings and even the strongest experts. If they suddenly appeared from behind, they might wipe us all out."

"Alright, enough nonsense!"
Aren't you good at fooling people?
Quickly lure them over to join us in beating up the Human Emperor.

The ability of the Primordial Martial World to seal off the amplification of its origin is quite important.

Fang Ping immediately found his words to be very reasonable. What he hated most was someone trying to reap the benefits, so he always had to eliminate the third party before each battle.

"Alright! I'll call them over right now. If those guys dare to play dead and wait to take advantage of the situation, I'll join forces with the Human Emperor and wipe out the Initial Martial Continent first."

Zhang Haoran said calmly, "Alright, I'll leave everything to you!"

Ha ha!

"The beginner martial artists are just a threat to us. They've been fighting with the emperors for over a thousand years, and they have a blood feud. You can start from there."

"understand!"

Fang Ping unleashed his full mental power and roared towards the Forbidden Sea: "Are there any Elementary Martial Realm experts still alive?"

We're starting to fight the boss, so don't hide, come over here right now.

"Don't let people think you're trying to reap the benefits, otherwise, I'll lead my men and wipe out the Chuwu Continent first."

Fang Ping's words, amplified by his spiritual power, instantly spread throughout the entire region.

"boom!"

A massive burst of energy erupted from the depths of the ocean, accompanied by an angry voice.

"You little brats, come and try if you dare!"

If it weren't for that brat Lin Zi's skill in escaping, I would have beaten her to death long ago.

We, the warriors of the early days, will never submit! Fight if you will!

Upon seeing that he had actually summoned the people, Fang Ping immediately changed his expression and said with a grin, "Who said I was going to make you submit?"

It was just a group effort to fight a boss.

You early martial artists haven't appeared for thousands of years, and you have no grudges against us humans, so why fight to the death?
Besides, most of the strong people here haven't participated in the war between the Origin and the Initial Martial Realm, so we don't have any major grudges against each other.

The ones who truly have a grudge against you are those emperors.

We're about to besiege the Human Emperor; don't you want to avenge yourselves?

Suddenly, there was silence in the depths of the sea.

However, that immense aura was still there. Judging from the aura alone, it was definitely a powerhouse at the eighth level of the Breakthrough Realm, and the opponent's blood and qi were extremely strong, possibly even at the peak of the eighth level.

It should be understood that in battles between martial artists of the same level, the combat power of a strong person who follows the Origin Path is not as good as that of a beginner martial artist. The former relies on their own blood and qi, while the Origin Path strong person relies on external force amplification.

Swish, swish, swish,
All eyes turned to them, their eyes filled with shock. No one had expected Fang Ping to call upon novice martial artists to join the attack on the Human Emperor.

This is blatant betrayal, a betrayal of not just any faction, but all the original powerhouses.

Lin Zi harbored the deepest hatred for the beginner martial artist. She asked in a panic, "This is our own business. Why did you ask the beginner martial artist for help?"
If they were to unite with the initial martial arts masters, the nature of the conflict would change; it would constitute betrayal and would be rejected by all fundamental powerhouses.

Fang Ping shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Don't rush to label me!"
What's wrong with beginner martial artists?
Are they not martial artists?
If we win this battle, then things will be much better.

Novice martial artists will be as well-behaved as before.

What if we lose the war?
If all of us strongmen die, all that will remain are these novice martial artists. Aren't you afraid they'll wipe out all the original powerhouses?

What I fear most is that we fight to the death, and someone else benefits from the chaos.

If we can get them to fight alongside us, then there won't be any problem. Even if we lose, they'll die with us. At least the powerful beings of the Three Realms won't be slaughtered. What's wrong with that?

Or do you want us to fight to the death here while they sit on the sidelines watching and waiting to reap the benefits? I'm not that stupid.

Fang Ping's principle has always been to kill the third party first; whoever dares to watch the show will be killed first.

Lin Zi was still somewhat unconvinced and said, "You've already said it outright, do you think they'll still be willing to join the war?"

"Not participating in the war? Ha! Do you think they dare?"

Zhang Haoran said coldly, "If they don't join the war, then they're just trying to take advantage of the situation. Even if we don't fight the pseudo-emperor today, we still have to destroy the Chuwu Continent first."

As soon as his voice fell, several long howls rang out in the distance, and huge streams of blood energy soared into the sky, with the auras of more than a dozen Heavenly Kings rapidly approaching.

Although the Primordial Martial Continent was far away, a supreme expert tore through space and traveled there, quickly arriving before them.
