Chapter 344 Meeting Ancestor Chen!
Just after Joey sent a mental force into the Golden Purple Soul ball, a powerful suction force came out from it, directing toward the blinding white thick book that was camouflaged beside a white cloud.
The book was forced to move toward it and eventually absorbed by the golden purple soul ball.
In the next instant, his soul consciousness which was inside his Soul sea shut his eyes and countless multiple pieces of information started flashing in his eyes.
The information from the book was so limitless that he started feeling dizzy suddenly and his consciousness faded as he started seeing only darkness in his vision.
But a dazzling iridescent tiny ball broke free of the golden purple soul ball and morphed into the shape of a handsome youth.
The youth glanced around and said with an incredulous look, "Wow, this kid is something else…. He is still bound to this lowest level realm of the world but his Soul Sea is otherworldly boundless beyond his cultivation realm. Hahaha, I've finally found a good seedling."
He then glanced at Joey's Soul Consciousness body and frowned.
"Shit! What the hell is wrong with this kid? He just absorbed all the infinite knowledge of Divine Weapon Smithy at once." Tang Chen continued, "Ugh, I should help him. Otherwise, he will be stuck in the myriad infinite parallel universe of weapon smiths."
The soul was none other than a part of Ancestor Tang Chen, which was hidden inside the book which Joey just devoured with his golden purple soul ball.
He then floated toward Joey and poked at his forehead with his finger and yelled, "Released!"
Then his figure turned to the glaring iridescent tiny soul ball and entered through Joey's Soul Consciousness body.
The darkness that filled Joey's vision suddenly broke down into multiple pieces like the breaking of glasses and the next thing, Joey realized he was standing on a verdant grassy field.
He looked around and saw that he was in a valley. Near to him was an enormous mansion, fully polished with white and with a name tag on the gate written in powerful and regal-looking strokes, 'Tang Weapon Smithy Workshop'
"I just black out for a moment and the next I'm here. What is this place?" Joey asked himself. "This place seems to be more real-like, unlike my Soul sea world." 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢
"Young man, why are you still standing there? Why don't you come inside?" A man's voice bombarded from inside the mansion.
Joey felt familiar with the voice?. So, he scuttled forward, passing through the gate, and stopped in front of the goliath mansion.
With a loud squeaking sound, the enormous iron door opened in front of him and Joey walked inside. Just after he was inside a Brobdingnagian hall, with the sound of mechanical gears, the enormous iron door slammed, shutting itself.
Joey glanced around and he was astounded at seeing various machines installed inside the hall.
And at the far corner of the hall, he saw a youth smashing a hot iron bar with a gigantic hammer drawn with multiple white blinding lights of the magical sigil.
Dang! Dang! Dang!....
The sound of hammering kept chiming inside the hall.
But on seeing his face, Joey blurted out with astonishment, "Ancestor Tang Chen!"
He then sauntered toward him, bowed slightly, and greeted him while cubing his hands at him, "Greetings, Ancestor Tang Chen! I'm Joey. It's quite pleasant to meet you in person."
The youth ended his hammering and then he turned around and said with a smile, "Catch it!" He tossed the gigantic hammer with the silver-white stone toward Joey.
Joey raised his right hand and caught it in the air. But his countenance changed immediately as he used his other hand holding the handle while bearing the heaviness. Then he slowly raised it and asked forcefully, "Ancestor, what is with this weapon? I have never held something as heavy as this weapon before. And where is this place?"
"Don't be rushed, as I'm not going anywhere. Well, have a seat!" Tang Chen said, and he snapped his finger and then two majestic looking chairs with the sculpture of dragons raised out from the stone floor, one next to Joey and another beside him.
After sitting on the chair, Chen asked, "What's your name, lad?"
"Please, call me Joey."
"No-no-no. I mean, what is your real name? Your birth name in the Tang." Chen insisted.
"Oh! It's Tang Xuanzong. But I still prefer the name, Joey."
"That'll not do. As a Tang, you must be proud of your name… So, I'll give you a nice name today since you finally learned my legacy. And that's out of the question." Tang Chen continued, "Because you're so attached to the name, Joey. From today onward, as long as you use my techniques and skills, you will be known as Tang Jiu or simply Tang Jojó"
Joey responded with a wry smile, "Senior, please don't put me in a tough spot. I really like this name." freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"Oh! Then what about this? Unless you make a heavenly pledge in my name that you will accept this cool name I've given you, then there is no way I'm gonna teach you any of the techniques and skills." Tang Chen said with a firm tone. Then he further added, "And from your current situation, you seem to be desperate to learn my technique, do you?"
Joey felt like he was in a great dilemma after reincarnating into this world for the first time. He pondered in his head, 'Ugh! What's wrong with this old fart in a young man's body? Pressing others for just a name… But as he said, this is the only shot I have left to strengthen myself again. And I don't like to be powerless in this messy world. Fine, I'll have to compromise this time. And anyway, the name Tang Jojó seems cool, as he suggested.'
He closed his eyes for a few seconds and said with a calm tone, "Okay, since Ancestor wishes to bestow such an amazing name on this youngster, then it would be rude to not accept it."
