Emperor's Domination

Chapter 5649: Female Blacksmith

“Clank!” The woman struck the piece of metal repeatedly during the refinement process.

Unlike mortal blacksmithing, the piece of metal was engulfed in numerous sword dao laws. She also imbued the hammer with power from her anima tree.

Thus, each smash utilized anima to imprint her sword dao into the forming blade.

This served two purposes - creating a blade on top of honing her dao and cultivation. She did so tirelessly, completely immersed in the process.

Li Qiye sat down and didn’t disturb her rhythmic dao training. She paid no attention to him and continued to hammer away - becoming one with her sword dao and anima in a zen state.

Top cultivators could tell that this went beyond blacksmithing. It seamlessly integrated cultivation and blacksmithing, killing two birds with one stone.

“Clank!” The crafting finished in time and the woman tempered the blade. It possessed a chilling sword aura before being sharpened, capable of decapitating anyone.

She carefully traced the blade with her fingers before sighing in disappointment. This didn’t reach her desired level.

“Insufficient.” She tossed the sword away. It turned into a ray and flew into the previous valley.

She then turned to take a look at the visitor. The moment her eyes fell upon Li Qiye, they exuded a blinding imperial light. Just her gaze alone could kill anyone from ten million miles away.

She became emotional and came over to bow: “Sacred Teacher, I apologize for the late greetings.”

“You recognize me?” Li Qiye smiled and came closer.

“I heard Senior South Emperor mention you and your supreme appearance before, I have nothing but admiration for you, Sacred Teacher.” She responded; her eyes reflected her words.

“South Emperor, I see. You must be Violet Abyss Dao Lord.” Li Qiye smiled.

“You are incredible, Sacred Teacher. How many can withstand this flame?” She was in awe to see Li Qiye being so reckless.

Her hand would have been reduced to ashes, leaving a potentially permanent injury.

“Inborn Trinity Primal Trueflame, only one person has this flame in the mortal world.” Li Qiye commented sentimentally.

“I came to this place under the guidance of Senior South Emperor.” She responded: “I’ve been looking for a good flame all this time to forge the sword I envision. This didn’t go so well until after I came to this battlefield. The senior mentioned a trueflame falling in this place and I was lucky enough to find it, so I settled here. It’s the best I’ve ever seen.”

“Of course it is, it is one of a kind.” Li Qiye smiled and shook his head.

“Unfortunately, I still can’t craft my weapon with it.” She sighed and lamented.

“You were inspired by the old man in Sword Burial Zone, wanting to forge a sword to merge with your dao.” Li Qiye said.

“I’m shocked that you know this, Sacred Teacher.” She couldn’t help but tremble.

“It’s evident at a glance that you’ve only grasped the bare surface.” Li Qiye said.

“Your insight is impeccable, Sacred Teacher.” She took a deep breath and bowed respectfully: “The truth is that I saw a vision during a near-death encounter. It guided me to the two parts of Abyss.”

According to the legend, the dao lord couldn’t grasp the dao despite her best efforts and made a last-ditch attempt to enter Sword Burial Zone. The world didn’t know that not only did she obtain these artifacts, but she also saw an immortal training with the sword. This memory remained etched in her memory.

Because of this, she wanted to craft her own blade, hence her journey across the immortal continent to find the right flame.

“The heavenly sword is a limit.” Li Qiye said.

She felt slightly embarrassed and nodded: “Yes, Sacred Teacher, but it is still not my own. I wish to be able to craft a blade of this level eventually.”

She didn’t need to forge a blade at all since she already had Abyss. This was the limit of the mortal world, exceeding imperial and divine blades.

However, this was still not her sword. Many others who had obtained the heavenly swords felt the same way and didn’t necessarily keep them around.
