From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 340 Two Options
Learning a sword formation is one thing, but mastering it to a high level of proficiency or even perfection takes time.

However, You Ming grasped the essence of "learning by doing" and began entering dungeons from the very first day he mastered the [Myriad Manifestations Sword Ring].

He specifically sought out [the Skyborn] to practice on.

His sword formation, combined with his enhanced spatial perception, did indeed allow him to withstand the attacks of the [Voidborn] for a considerable longer.

However, the opponent's spatial manipulation techniques were too unpredictable, and he was repeatedly defeated in battle.

After all, there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and You Ming did not expect to suddenly master some kind of divine skill and then defeat them utterly.

His plan was to defeat his opponent within ten years.

What he needs to do is to persist for longer each time than the last, gradually becoming stronger and defeating his opponent little by little.

In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed.

You Ming has been able to hold out against the [Void Descendant] for almost half an hour, up from the initial half quarter of an hour.

Although he felt he had hit a bottleneck these days and it was difficult to further enhance the power of the sword formation, he still enjoyed it.

In his past life, he was a homebody, and this feeling of staying at home every day playing dungeons gave him a kind of joy in grinding games.

"My lord, the Iron Refining Sect has refused to forge weapons for us, but Red Wind Valley and Sword Forging Cliff have agreed. This is their forging plan, however..."

"However, their quotes were 8,000 divine power and 12,000 divine power respectively."

Wu Mo produced a document and handed it to You Ming.

You Ming picked up the documents and looked at the two proposals.

Red Wind Valley excels at crafting magical weapons that allow for flight or swiftness. Therefore, after obtaining the [Sky-Splitting Bone Fragment], they planned to utilize the spatial characteristic of "moving at will and without restraint" to create a [Yin-Yang Rift Wheel].

Its shape is like the moon, as thin as a cicada's wing. The entire body is made of polished bone fragments, with seventy-two wind-patterned gold wires inlaid in the bone seams.

Its interior is equipped with a dual array of spatial and wind elements, which greatly increases its speed and allows it to transform at will by using the power of spatial jumps.

It pushed speed to its limit.

The style of [Sword Forging Cliff] is completely different. Their weapon-forging philosophy is that weapons are formidable, and formidable weapons are sharp, used to overcome all obstacles.

They wanted to use the power of that spatial tearing to forge a longsword capable of cleaving through boundaries and cutting through the void.

Once mastered, it possesses a fierce and domineering edge, with extremely strong barrier-breaking power, making it suitable for frontal assaults and surprise attacks to break through enemy lines.

You Ming looked at the two proposals and thought they were both good, but they were both lacking something.

"My idea is, could we combine these two characteristics into one weapon, which could both increase speed and break through boundaries and tear through the sky?"

You Ming stroked his chin and slowly began to speak.

He didn't know how to forge weapons, but he had money.

He felt it was worth it to realize his idea, even if it meant paying tens of thousands more in divine power.

After all, with this weapon, if he can kill the [Voidborn], the reward he will receive will be more than just tens of thousands of divine power.

"I'm afraid...it will be difficult."

Wu Mo was somewhat troubled. If he wanted to integrate the two ideas, the best way would be to have the two sects join forces.

But these two families were never on good terms; they couldn't be said to be loving and affectionate, but they were at least irreconcilable enemies.

After all, competitors are rivals, and two competitors who are very close to each other are naturally the most hostile of rivals.

"It's alright, go ask again. If the two companies work together and can achieve the effect I want, I can pay 20,000 divine power to each of them, or have them quote a price." "As long as it's within my budget, I can accept it."

"If they ask for an exorbitant amount, we'll go to even more distant states to inquire, and perhaps even see if there's a way to directly contact the weapon-refining sects in Lingzhou."

You Ming waved his hand. Now that he was the leader of a powerful force, his vision had long been broadened. This magic weapon was neither important nor unimportant to him.

He had plenty of time anyway.

Even disregarding the fact that his spirit can still live on in a divine position after death, his current lifespan, after cultivating the [Original Nature Great Divine Power], has reached six thousand years.

Compared to other cultivators of the same level in the [Dharma Aspect] realm, he was twice as strong.

Wu Mo nodded; he had understood You Ming's meaning, and he would handle the rest.

"Is there... anything else?"

You Ming closed the document and was about to return to his cave to continue his cultivation when he suddenly saw Wu Mo hesitating in place, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

"grown ups."

"Since the beginning of this year, the Cangyuan River has been flooding continuously, with heavy rains on both banks, causing damage to many farmlands. Various city gods have already begun disaster relief efforts."

Wu Mo spoke slowly.

“I’ve heard about this as well; even our Fengshui River God went there.”

You Ming nodded; he was aware of this matter.

The Cangyuan River is the largest river in northern Kyushu, traversing several provinces and stretching for thousands of miles. At its widest point, the river is over a hundred miles wide, while at its narrowest point, the distance between the two sections is over thirty miles.

It has branched out into more than a hundred tributaries.

Even the Feng River is a tributary of the Cangyuan River, and a relatively small one at that.

However, what does this have to do with us?

"I've asked around and heard that the flooding of the river is because our river god is about to give birth, but for some reason, the child is still not born."

"Therefore, his irritability triggered endless storms."

Wu Mo told You Ming everything he had found out.

"Huh? Is that even possible?"

"This river goddess has caused such a disaster, damaging thousands of miles of land. I'm afraid the heavens will not let her off the hook."

You Ming had heard before that Jiang Shen was a goddess, but he never expected that she would get pregnant and give birth.

"I've heard that this woman's husband is a great figure in heaven. At most, she will be reprimanded for this. Moreover, since she is pregnant this time, there is a reason for the incident. I'm afraid she might not even be reprimanded."

Wu Mo lowered his voice and spoke softly, even deliberately avoiding mentioning names or other keywords to avoid being detected.

You Ming was slightly taken aback. Before Qinglian Jun died, he disintegrated and caused floods that covered most of Bingzhou. After You Ming killed him, he gained a lot of merit.

It's unexpected that this river god, who committed such a heinous crime, might ultimately escape no punishment.

However, You Ming was not an innocent novice. Such things have never been uncommon since ancient times. Even he himself was able to have such a smooth life in the lower realm because he had powerful backers. Otherwise, he would have been devoured long ago.

"Why are you telling me this... Do you want me to deliver her baby?"

You Ming was initially puzzled, but after a moment's thought, he understood what Wu Mo meant.
