Chapter 2684: Chapter 2684: Have Other Plans?

Soon, more people took notice of Yang Luo.

“Huh… what kind of refining technique is that kid Yang Luo using? Why can’t I understand it?”

Someone asked in confusion.

“This kid can harness the power of lightning and fire to refine weapons, which is already impressive, but the technique he’s using looks quite ordinary!”

A higher-level artificer analyzed.

“Regardless of whether it’s ordinary or not, it’s remarkable that he’s competing till now with the top nine artificers from the four smaller continents!”

“Isn’t that right, even if he forfeits now, no one would say much!”

Many others also shared their insights.

Especially the young artificers, they were most attentive to Yang Luo.

After all, Yang Luo was about the same age as them, yet he could compete till now, contending with the nine artificers in refining skill, which undoubtedly inspired them.

Bujie was getting impatient, anxiously saying, “What is Brother Yang doing; why hasn’t he crafted any Immortal Weapons and Dharma artifacts yet!”

Xu Ying replied helplessly, “How long has the competition been going on? Wanting to craft weapons and artifacts in such a short time, even a god couldn’t manage it!”

Wu Qiansheng laughed and said, “Brother Bujie, don’t worry, just be patient and wait!”

“Alright.”

Bujie shook his head helplessly.

At this moment.

Outside the high platform.

Country Protecting Elder Yi Tianhong of the Da Yi Immortal Country watched the scene on the high platform and frowned, saying, “Jiuxiao, although the refining standards of these ten artificers are high!

But to expect them to help us repair the ‘Sunset Divine Bow’ and ‘Sun-shooting Divine Arrow’ might be unrealistic!”

Country Protecting Elder Zhao Tingyu also shook his head and said, “Even if we ask the champion of this competition to help us, they probably can’t repair our Ancestor Artifact either!”

Country Protecting Elder Zheng Fengshi also sighed and said, “Indeed, to repair the ‘Sunset Divine Bow’ and ‘Sun-shooting Divine Arrow’, the first step is to gain their recognition!

If we can’t earn that, we can’t even approach, let alone repair them!

We previously invited many renowned artificers from the five continents to help!

But they couldn’t gain our Ancestor Artifact’s recognition, not to mention the top artificers from the four smaller continents!”

Yi Jiuxiao furrowed his brow and said, “Elders, no matter what, we must try!

If the champion of this competition still can’t help us repair the Ancestor Artifact, then we’ll seek other artificers for assistance!”

“Alright.”

“Then let’s try.”

“It’s the only thing we can do.”

The three Country Protecting Elders all sighed deeply.

The main reason for holding this refining competition this time–

was to select an outstanding artificer to help repair their Ancestor Artifact.

But thinking of how previous artificers were helpless, they didn’t have much hope for this time either.

Just then.

An armored soldier hurriedly flew over from a distance, arriving before Yi Jiuxiao and the others.

The soldier bowed and said, “Your majesty, I have something to report!”

“What is it?”

Yi Jiuxiao asked.

Yi Tianhong, Zhao Tingyu, and Zheng Fengshi also looked at the guard.

The armored soldier replied, “Your majesty, our scouts have discovered that the Southern Barbarian Demon Country is gathering a large army at our border with unknown intentions!”

“What?! The Southern Barbarian Demon Country is gathering a large army at our border?!”

“What exactly does the Southern Barbarian Demon Country want?!”

“Could they be planning to start a war with us again?!”

Yi Tianhong, Zhao Tingyu, and Zheng Fengshi were all shocked.

“No matter their intentions, we must be prepared!”

Yi Jiuxiao’s face was stern and immediately said, “Issue orders to gather the army at the border and keep a constant watch on the Southern Barbarian Demon Country’s actions!”

“Yes!”

The armored soldier responded and quickly departed.

After the soldier left.

Yi Tianhong said coldly, “The Southern Barbarian Demon Country just fought a big battle with us a year ago, who knew they’d start stirring again so soon!”

“Do they really think the Da Yi Immortal Country is afraid of them!”

“If they dare to start a war again, we’ll crush and defeat them thoroughly this time!”

Both Zhao Tingyu and Zheng Fengshi coldly exclaimed.

Yi Jiuxiao rubbed his forehead and said, “If a war can be avoided, it is better not to go to war!

Once a war starts, we will face great casualties, and the people of the Da Yi Immortal Country will suffer!”

Yi Tianhong, Zhao Tingyu, and Zheng Fengshi all shook their heads and sighed.

They didn’t want war either, but if it did come to that, they could only face it.

At this moment.

The competition was still ongoing.

As time passed.

Unknowingly, two hours had passed.

At this moment.

Boom!

A beam of lightning and fire shot out from the Artifact Refining Tripod in front of Chang Songyin, piercing through the sky!

Because the commotion was so great, everyone was startled and looked over!

“Could it be that the Heavenly Dao Immortal Master has succeeded?!”

A voice exclaimed in the crowd.

The next second!

Swoosh!

A silver spear shot out from the Artifact Refining Tripod, radiating dazzling immortal light under the sunlight!

“Haha, as expected, the Heavenly Dao Immortal Master is a cut above, being the first to craft an Immortal Weapon!”

“Of course, the Heavenly Dao Immortal Master was the champion of several previous refining competitions!”

The audience exclaimed.

Especially the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, who were thrilled, feeling a sense of pride.

Yi Jiuxiao sighed, saying, “Elder Chang indeed ages like fine wine; his artifact refining skills are getting more impressive!”

The Referee Elders nodded in agreement, full of admiration.

After refining the spear, Chang Songyin didn’t hesitate; he waved his right hand.

The spear flew into the Artifact Refining Tripod.

He added a few pieces of Immortal Gold Divine Iron into the tripod, beginning to enhance its grade.

Not long after.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Beams of light shot up in front of Wu Youchuan and Meng Haitang, dispersing vast expanses of the Cloud Sea in the sky!

It was seen that Wu Youchuan, Meng Haitang, and the other eight had also succeeded in refining, with some crafting weapons and others refining Dharma artifacts!

These weapons and artifacts floated in the air, emitting blindingly radiant immortal light, brilliantly shimmering!

Evidently, these weapons and artifacts were all Immortal Items!

“The Fire Refining Master and Lingbao Immortal Monarch have also succeeded!”

“Naturally, the Fire Refining Master, Lingbao Immortal Monarch, and others have nearly similar refining skills to the Heavenly Dao Immortal Master, so they can successively craft Immortal Weapons and Dharma artifacts!”

The audience marveled at the extraordinary refining skills of the refined masters.

However, even when Wu Youchuan, Meng Haitang, and the others began to continue refining and upgrading the weapons and artifacts’ grades,

Yang Luo had not succeeded in refining any weapon or Dharma artifact.

“Damn!”

He grew more anxious, “What is Brother Yang doing, why can’t he produce even a single weapon or Dharma artifact?!”

Ning Jianfeng frowned, saying, “Something’s wrong; Brother Yang’s refining skills shouldn’t be this poor!”

Lin Wenxuan furrowed his brow and analyzed, “Could it be that Brother Yang has another plan?”
