They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 164 Dan Lei Exploits Thousands of Year-Olds

Dan Lei bowed his head in greeting.

Huaiyan didn't maintain his general's airs. He slammed his staff on the ground, and after a dull, heavy metallic hum, a barrier rose around the platform, quickly blocking the light and energy of [Suihuang] and returning the hall to its original tranquil state.

After finishing, Huaiyan walked up to Danlei and slowly said...
"I, Huaiyan, originally intended to instruct Yunli to bring you, young friend Danlei, to the top of the Flame Wheel Forging Palace before discussing your visit."

Unexpectedly, she forgot to cover this [false sun], almost causing you to enter the [Suihuang] dream and resulting in disaster. It is my fault, and I apologize to you, young friend.

Dan Lei didn't believe a single word of Huai Yan's explanation.

Yun Li must have received Huai Yan's order to allow her to look directly at the true form of [Sui Huang].

After all, she had even reminded him not to bring too many things to the Flame Wheel Forging Palace. If she didn't want Dan Lei to see the [Fire Emperor]'s true form, how could she not have stopped him at all?

Given Yun Li's straightforward personality, if Dan Lei really wanted to see it, she would definitely pull out her "Old Iron" (the name of Yun Li's weapon) and try to knock Dan Lei away.

As for Huaiyan's purpose in doing this, it's quite simple. The illusion technique that [Suihuang] himself possesses, in Danlei's experience, is, for ordinary people, mainly confusing without causing any brain damage.

Without a certain level of spiritual cultivation, one cannot sense the consciousness of [Suihuang]. As long as the time is controlled well, one can make a preliminary judgment on a person's character and strength by observing their reaction to the illusion.

Those trapped in the illusions surrounding the first level are ordinary people; without significant improvement, they are not of great use.

If you can sense the consciousness of the [Suihuang] and withstand the impact to enter the memories of the [Fire Calamity War], then you have passed the second level.

Those who can pass this test are basically outstanding individuals, or at the very least, people with extremely strong willpower, the kind who can take off as long as given a chance.

Then, after entering the memory of the [Fire Calamity Battle], those who can avoid being completely overwhelmed by the fighting spirit within it can be considered to have passed the third level.

According to the records of the Ten Kings, a meme once tried to steal the memories of the [Suihuang], but he failed at this third level. In the end, the memes were burned to ashes by the flames of the [Suihuang] and perished completely.

Of course, Huaiyan could never have imagined that Danlei was no ordinary memory traveler. The memories of the three trials of [Suihuang] had not affected Danlei in the slightest, and he almost stepped into [Suihuang]'s true dream.

Huaiyan was well aware of how dangerous that place was, and Danlei was so young that if he were to awaken [Suihuang] during the fight, everything would be over.

However, Dan Lei's ability to enter the true dream of [Suihuang] also proves that his mental fortitude is no less than Huaiyan's, and that he has the potential to become a general of the Immortal Boat.

Therefore, Huaiyan's apology here was quite sincere.

Dan Lei didn't intend to pursue what had just happened, since he had essentially gotten a free copy of the memory of the "Fire Calamity War" from the perspective of the "Suihuang".

Although it's a bit of a pity that I didn't know what the [Emperor Bow Master] actually looked like, this memory is enough to advance my memory destiny to a higher level.

So, Danlei politely pretended to be clueless and replied...
"General Huaiyan, there's no need for that. I am a traveler of destiny, and the memories of [Suihuang] are quite helpful for me in fulfilling my destiny."

Therefore, please do not blame Miss Yun Li.

Hearing Dan Lei's words, Yun Li rolled her eyes so hard they almost flew to the sky. She kept complaining, "Grandpa is shameless. He's thousands of years old, and he still makes a kid like me take the blame."

Seeing that Dan Lei had taken the opportunity to back down, Huai Yan nodded in satisfaction, then asked again.

"In that case, I will be magnanimous on behalf of my granddaughter, Mr. Xie Danlei."

Here, Huaiyan's address to Danlei changes from "friend" to "sir," implying that he acknowledges Danlei's eligibility to speak with him on the same level and that Danlei is no longer a junior.

So, Huaiyan's tone changed abruptly the next second, and he asked again in a serious tone.

“Mr. Danlei, you previously asked Yunli to tell me that you were carrying the divine artifact of the Changle Tianjun. May I have a look at it?”

Dan Lei wasn't stingy; he handed the backpack directly to Huai Yan.

Upon seeing this, Huai Yan immediately laughed, took the backpack, and said...
"Excellent, excellent. As the saying goes, 'a minor hermit lives in the city,' this is a good method."

After opening the backpack, you'll find the treasure box containing Aha's tears.

Here, Yun Li couldn't resist her curiosity and leaned over to peek into the bag.

However, because the treasure chest completely isolated the inside from the outside, she could only see two gleaming golden "gems".

Fortunately, Dan Lei spoke up to explain, saying to the two of them...
"The items sealed in this treasure box are two drops of [Chang Letianjun's] tears."

To be precise, it was two drops of highly concentrated, star-god-level energy of pleasure and destiny.

Upon hearing this, Huai Yan broke out in a cold sweat and asked speechlessly.

"High concentration? How high?"

Dan Lei is telling the truth here.

"I don't know, but it came from the mask possessed by [Aha]."

Conservative estimates suggest that a single burst could easily destroy a galaxy.

After all, even a trace of the power of a star god is an unfathomable force to mortals.

After saying that, Danlei opened the book box at his waist, took out the mask of [Aha], and said...
"This mask was given to me by [Chang Letianjun]. He can even possess it and move around in it. I can't get rid of it."

Black Tower asked the [Chang Le Tian Jun] attached to the mask for energy, but I felt that [Chang Le Tian Jun] might have ulterior motives, so I intercepted the two tears. Of course, Black Tower agreed to this.

Hearing Danlei say this, Huaiyan was momentarily at a loss as to whether to say Danlei was lucky or unlucky.

Being given special attention by the Star God means that even with other Star Gods, one is guaranteed to receive a blessing, or even become a Commander directly.

But Aha is an exception, because he is known for playing pranks on mortals.

Furthermore, you never know whether the Star God of Joy will ultimately bring you smiles or tears.

However, since Dan Lei's mask was a creation of the Star God, Huai Yan still took it and played with it for a while, wanting to see if there was anything special about it.

However, even with Huaiyan's keen eyesight, he still couldn't tell what material the mask was made of. After fiddling with it for a long time, he came to the same conclusion as Danlei.

Of course, Danlei refused to throw the mask into the flames of [Fire Emperor] to see the effect.

Because if you do this, in the best-case scenario, the mask will carry the flames of the [Fire Emperor] and let Dan Lei experience what it means to be burned alive.

In the worst-case scenario, it's not impossible that [Aha] could directly awaken [Suihuang]'s consciousness.

After studying the mask of [Aha], the moving hall arrived at the highest point of the Flame Wheel Forging Palace. Under Huaiyan's guidance, Danlei followed all the way to Huaiyan's private forging room.

Huaiyan brought Danlei directly to the forging room, clearly indicating that he had already agreed to help Danlei forge the sword case; the rest was just a matter of discussing the price.

So, amidst the flames and high temperatures of the forging furnace, Huai Yan asked directly...

"Dan Lei, you want me to forge the sword case and flying sword for you? Considering that I almost let you into the dream of the [Suihuang], I can agree."

However, Yun Li said on the phone, "You claim to have materials that even the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship couldn't obtain. I'm quite curious; could you let me see them now?"

Dan Lei knew that at Huai Yan's level, when it came to forging weapons for others, profit was no longer a factor.

For a craftsman of his caliber, unless ordered by the marshal, it's priceless to make me happy.

Overjoyed, he forged a magical artifact for a beggar, enabling him to soar to great heights.

If he's unhappy, even if Dongfang Qixing, one of the founders of Interstellar Peace Corporation, comes to ask him to build weapons, he will still refuse.

Therefore, Dan Lei's initial plan was to lure Huai Yan into helping him forge weapons using materials and weapons that Huai Yan had never encountered before.

However, the test of [Suihuang] made Huaiyan accept Danlei's character ahead of time. In addition, Danlei truly possessed a treasure of the Star God, proving that he was favored by the Star God. Therefore, before Huaiyan even had to use Danlei's bribes, he agreed to help Danlei forge a weapon.

However, for Danlei, what needs to be brought out still needs to be brought out. In order to better adapt to magic, he will definitely use mithril and adamantite in his new weapon.

So, Dan Lei, like a tycoon, poured out a large amount of mithril and refined gold from his food pouch, which soon piled up into a small mountain.

Huaiyan was a man of the world, and although he knew that Danlei had never seen these two metals before when he took them out, he remained calm.

Unlike Yun Li, who picked up a piece of mithril and examined it closely, practically wearing the words "Good stuff, really good stuff" on her face.

However, Huaiyan couldn't stay calm for long. After taking out the mithril and adamantite, Danlei started taking out all sorts of crystals and gems.

Then, the corpse of a doomsday beast was released.

Throughout the entire process, even with Huai Yan's skill in maintaining his composure, the corners of his mouth began to twitch.

When Dan Lei finally produced Zhu Luo's remains, he could no longer remain calm. He rushed over, snatched the remains from Dan Lei's hand, examined them for a moment, and then asked...
"Dan Lei, is this the skeleton of the Envoy? It contains both the power of nothingness and the power of destruction. Where did you get it?"

Here, Dan Lei honestly said...

"These are Zhu Luo's remains. After his death, the battlefield was shrouded in a void of shadows."

Under the long-term erosion of the power of the Void Destiny, Zhu Luo's remains have become what you hold in your hands.

When I acquired them, I knew they were top-grade materials for forging weapons. However, in the current universe, I suppose only you are capable of safely handling and forging them.

Dan Lei wasn't just flattering him; Zhu Luo's remains contained the power of nothingness and destruction at the Envoy level.

Even a slightly weaker person, if they merely touch these bones, will be corrupted by the power emanating from them, turning into a self-destructive being who will unconsciously destroy everything around them.

Like Yun Li, as soon as she heard that this thing was the skeleton of an envoy, she wanted to reach out and touch it.

As a result, Huaiyan slapped his hand down very hard and said...
"Yun Li, you can't touch these skeletons. Your cultivation isn't enough."

After speaking, Huaiyan turned to Danlei and asked...
"The remains of Zhuluo are indeed top-grade materials for forging weapons and equipment."

In my entire life, I've only encountered materials of the same level a handful of times.

Also, you just threw out a complete Doomsday Beast skeleton, are you trying to get me to use the ancient beast materials above?

But the combination of these two elements, with the void and destructive power within the bones, is something I cannot imagine what kind of terrifying demonic sword would be forged.

Are you sure you want a sword like this? This sword could very well harm yourself and others.

However, before Dan Lei could answer the question, Yun Li, who was standing nearby, immediately exclaimed...
"A demonic sword? Grandpa, since you know these materials can only be used to forge a harmful demonic sword, why did you still forge it?"

In response to Yun Li's question, Huai Yan answered directly.
"A sword is a sword. The so-called demonic sword actually refers to a sword that has great side effects and can harm the user."

However, as long as the user can wield it, the demonic sword can also become a divine sword that saves the world.

I can't be sure if Danlei will ultimately be able to wield the sword I forged, but he clearly has the potential.

After Huaiyan finished speaking, Danlei took out two more items and continued...

"Actually, it may not necessarily become a pure demon sword."

I still have the Amber King's amber stone and the arrows that were formed from the remains of the Sea Ranger after his death. Do you think we can use them?

After saying that, Danlei took out the amber stone and hunting arrows.

Huaiyan was also feeling a bit numb at this point.

The Amber King has been applying for the amber stones ever since the Alliance obtained them.

As a result, all that's been given so far is a fist-sized piece of amber.

The amber stones that Dan Lei has taken out now are enough to forge four or five swords.

Huaiyan really wanted to complain. During the previous war with Aijihazo, how much exactly did Danlei "embezzle"? Didn't Jingyuan and Feixiao care at all?

As for the relics of the Sea Patrol Knights, it's not surprising that Dan Lei has them. After all, none of the Sea Patrol Knights who participated in the great battle to kill Zhu Luo were weak.

So, Huaiyan began to seriously consider the feasibility, and finally said...

"Using protection to limit and neutralize the corrosive and destructive power of nothingness and destruction is a feasible solution."

"However, there's no need for these relics of the Sea Ranger. Hunting is an extremely destructive path, and the void and destruction are already very unstable; don't make things harder for this old man."

Huaiyan was a professional at forging weapons, so Dan Lei didn't object and simply put away the arrows. However, he still asked...
"By the way, General Huaiyan, do you know how to use this arrow? My Hunting Fate Power can't activate it."

However, Huaiyan was clearly too lazy to answer this question, and handed Danlei a pen and paper, saying bluntly...

"Ask Jingyuan about this. I don't have time to explain such a complicated issue to you right now."

"By the way, what are your requirements for the sword case and the flying sword? Write them down, and I'll see if I can meet them."

Huaiyan had clearly entered a craftsman's working mode, so Danlei stopped mentioning the arrows and instead wrote something on the paper.

"Four long sword-shaped flying swords."

Sword names: Zhuxian, Luxian, Xianxian, Juexian.

Requirements: The four swords must each possess a different elemental energy.

The sword case is named: Mortal World.

Requirements: It must possess considerable sealing capabilities, include sword-wielding functionality, and most importantly, be sturdy, sturdy, absolutely sturdy.

Dan Lei's needs were that simple. With Huai Yan's skills, Dan Lei was not worried at all that the flying sword he had made with so many high-grade materials would be weak.

As for the sword box, there's really only one function worth mentioning: the sword-wielding ability.

However, this kind of minor feature could be added incidentally, so after reviewing it, Huaiyan simply commented...

"You actually want four flying swords, and they have to be of different elements. You really know how to exploit me."

"However, I'll take this job. I can get the sword and sword case you requested within six months."

　Just letting you know I'm safe.

　　The author's maternal grandfather is 91 years old this year. He fell yesterday and almost scared the whole family to death.

　　Fortunately, he only had a problem with his legs and feet, and it wasn't the kind of fall that happened while he was standing.

　　The old man liked to rummage through things; when he fell, he was lifting the bed board and searching for old things.

　　As a result, he bent over for too long and couldn't get up, so he fell face down on the bed frame.

　　And he lay there like that for more than ten minutes.

　　Fortunately, his aunt asked a neighbor to help him up in time. After a check-up at the hospital, no illness was found so far.

　　Thank God, thank God.
