Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Su Yun and Ying Ying designed the specifications of the Chao Tian Que and Xian Gong Ji Tan together. They were relatively small and did not include any imprints. Su Yun had to personally add the imprints after they were refined, but it was extremely complicated and not something that could be accomplished in a day.

There was a skilled craftsman in the Tong Tian Ge named Ou Ye Wu. After receiving Su Yun's drawings and flipping through them, he asked, "When does the Lord of the Ge need it?"

Su Yun replied, "The sooner the better, of course."

Ou Ye Wu said, "If the Lord is willing to spend money, you can quickly refine it by taking over several supervisory factories in Da Qin."

"That's simple."

Su Yun ordered someone to invite Bu Qiu Rong and continued to ask, "Brother Ou Ye, how should the dragon horn be refined?"

Ou Ye Wu was surprised and asked, "Is it a real dragon horn or a fake one?"

"Of course it's a real dragon horn."

Su Yun took out a dragon horn from Ying Ying and said, "It's this one."

Ou Ye Wu was shocked and carefully examined it. This dragon horn had five branches like a tree. The branches were not long, but the horn was large. However, the terrifying aura contained within the horn made him feel fearful. 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥．𝗰𝐨𝗺

Ou Ye Wu activated his true essence, but before it could flow into the dragon horn, it was crushed by the power within the horn. He couldn't activate it at all.

Ou Ye Wu marveled and shook his head, "This material has too much power. It is not suitable for refining treasures."

"Can't be used to refine treasures?" Su Yun was disappointed.

Ou Ye Wu explained, "Materials that are too good have extremely strong inherent power. They cannot be imprinted with their own runes and divine abilities, and even their true essence will be crushed. Therefore, they can only rely on the original power of the treasure. Such treasures existed in ancient times. They only need to be worshipped and do not need to be refined."

Su Yun humbly asked, "How should they be worshipped?"

Ou Ye Wu replied, "Place it on the altar and offer three incense sticks in the morning and three incense sticks in the evening. When you need to use it, it will rise up and kill."

Su Yun felt even more disappointed. He originally thought that he could refine a powerful spiritual weapon using the dragon horn, but he didn't expect that he could only worship it. Suddenly, he remembered something and took out the spear that killed the Fire Virtue God Jun. He asked, "Can this treasure be repaired?"

Ou Ye Wu examined the broken spear and said with a gleam in his eyes, "Lord, I want to see the spiritual weapon that broke this divine weapon!"

Su Yun shook his head and said, "That is the Immortal Sword of Tribulation Crossing. Most people who see it die. If you cultivate to the realm of the Original Dao and attempt to cross the tribulation, you will most likely be able to see it."

Ou Ye Wu had no choice but to give up and continued to examine the broken spear. He said, "This kind of divine weapon has the power to kill gods and demons. However, when it was cut by the Immortal Sword, all its imprints were destroyed and it became unusable."

Su Yun felt extremely disappointed. Ou Ye Wu suddenly changed the subject and said, "However, it can be melted and refined into a spiritual weapon. Lord, don't you have a spiritual weapon yet?"

Su Yun nodded.

Ou Ye Wu smiled and said, "Then use this divine weapon, along with a small branch of the dragon horn, to refine a spiritual weapon for the Lord. The material used for this divine weapon is better than Qing Hong Jin. If the dragon horn is ground into powder and used as pigment to carve various imprints, the power will be incredibly fierce! What does the Lord think?"

Su Yun was overjoyed and immediately started drawing the Huang Zhong blueprint with Ying Ying.

After they finished drawing the blueprint, Ou Ye Wu carefully examined it and suddenly exclaimed, "Is it so complicated and delicate?"

He had heard that Su Yun's spiritual ability was a seven-layer Huang Zhong, with each layer representing a year, month, day, hour, character, second, and instant. If it reached the instant, it could still be refined. But now, Su Yun's Huang Zhong blueprint had an additional layer, micro-scale, which instantly increased the difficulty of refining by several times!

Moreover, refining a spiritual weapon was not like refining a spiritual tool. A spiritual tool could save a lot of steps and materials, but a spiritual weapon required extremely high precision. Especially Su Yun's Huang Zhong, which was already extremely abnormal in terms of precision, reaching the micro level. Ou Ye Wu had never seen such a precise spiritual weapon before!

Ou Ye Wu found it difficult and said, "It takes three to five years for Da Qin to refine a heavenly ship to travel to the outer planets with a precision of seconds. The precision of the Lord's Huang Zhong to the micro level, even with supervisory factories, it would take several years to refine."

Suddenly, the voice of Bu Qiu Rong came from outside, "If it takes three to five years for one supervisory factory, then what about ten supervisory factories?"

He walked into the envoy's mansion with a majestic demeanor and saluted Su Yun, "Bu Qiu Rong pays respects to the Lord."

Su Yun helped him up and smiled, "According to Brother Bu's meaning, it seems that you have acquired the supervisory factories of Da Qin?"

Bu Qiu Rong said, "During these days, the Da Qin demons have been causing trouble everywhere, and there is chaos and war. It is a good time to acquire assets. I have already started. When Da Qin goes to war with other countries, the supervisory factories of the Tong Tian Ge can sell spiritual weapons and spiritual tools to Da Qin and the countries it invades, making money from both sides."

Su Yun asked, "Has the Tong Tian Ge supported the Yuan Hui?"

"In these months, we have already sent a batch of spiritual tools, spiritual weapons, and supplies. However, I am not optimistic about the Green Forest Uprising in the northern border."

Bu Qiu Rong said, "News from the country says that Emperor Ping plans to personally lead the troops, but he was vetoed by the Sage Xue Qing Fu and Wen Guan Shan. Wen Guan Shan and Xue Qing Fu are both condoning the Green Forest Uprising and causing even greater turmoil. They are taking advantage of this opportunity to enhance their prestige and power, in order to crush their opponents."

Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Zuo Song Yan led the Green Forest Army in a rebellion in the northern border. He was always worried that Zuo Song Yan would be like Qiu Shui Jing and be suppressed after a short period of time.In the Eastern Capital, there were three forces competing for power: Xue Qingfu, Wen Guanshan, and Di Ping. This gave Zuo Songyan an opportunity. Moreover, Zuo Songyan had Jing Zhao protecting him, so he didn't have to worry about his life for the time being.

"How much money has Tongtian Pavilion spent these days?" Su Yun asked.

During these days, Su Yun had spent money not only on delivering spiritual weapons and soldiers to Yuan Hui, but also on supporting scholars studying overseas. He also paid for Ye Luo, Bai Yuelou, and other scholars to design a small skyship for Yuan Shuo's experimentation, trying to lay out the same sky road.

He spent money desperately and couldn't help but worry that he was spending too much.

Bu Qiurong said, "Not much. Tongtian Pavilion's assets have actually increased a lot. The senior members of Brave Troops said that you are more frugal than other pavilion masters, and you don't spend money, probably because you were poor when you were young. The pavilion master of Bai Yuelou is the most extravagant in Tongtian Pavilion. He built Shuo Fang City and Tian Street, spending money like water, probably spending one percent of Tongtian Pavilion's wealth..."

Su Yun fell silent and dryly said, "Then let's build more skyships for Yuan Shuo..."

Bu Qiurong said, "It won't cost much. There are too few scholars, so building a few small skyships won't cost much. And buying more construction factories can actually earn more money."

Su Yun felt depressed in his heart and waved his hand to indicate that Bu Qiurong and Ouyewu could leave with his money, drawings, and the horn of Winged Dragon.

"I really don't want to inherit this wealthy property."

Su Yun sighed, and the young man seemed to have the melancholy of a rich person. He looked at the sky street under the cloud city and said, "This whole street is mine, and I own one-tenth of the industry in this cloud city. Ah, where should I sleep tonight? It's really worrying..."

After a few days, Ouyewu brought the altar and dragon horn. A small branch was cut off from the dragon horn, and he said, "It will take a few more days to refine the Altar of Heaven."

Luo Wanyi ordered the ministers to bring a map of the distribution of gods and demons within the Great Qin Empire. Su Yun woke up from the worries of a rich person and became spirited. He borrowed the Heavenly Phoenix from Li Zhuxian and prepared to go to various places to persuade gods and demons to help Winged Dragon fight against Luo Yujin.

In these few months, some feathers grew on the wings of the Heavenly Phoenix. When Xing Jiangmu locked the wooden tower, this big bird carefully spread one wing, and the tips of the feathers on the other wing stood upright, telling Su Yun the origin of each feather: "Guo Guo, Guo Guo Guo Guo, Guo Guo Guo!"

Two tail feathers also grew out, longer than its body, shining with various colors, very beautiful.

Xing Jiangmu prepared the wooden tower and the food, and the Heavenly Phoenix's carriage set off.

In the wooden tower, Su Yun unfolded the map of the distribution of gods and demons. There were more than twenty marks on this map, including the divine and the demonic. The demonic were easier to find, often occupying one side and being extremely fierce.

The divine were more difficult to find. They often hid in deep mountains and forests and rarely went out. Therefore, to find these scattered divines in the world, they needed the help of Luo Wanyi, the Little Holy Emperor.

The next morning, Su Yun found the divine Kai Ming.

The divine Kai Ming was relatively easy to find. This divine was located in the Bamao Mountains, driving away the demonic Xiang Liu and protecting one side, so he was loved by the people.

When Su Yun arrived here, he saw divine light soaring into the sky. The divine light emanated from Kai Ming's body and was gradually being blocked.

Countless people were building temples for the divine Kai Ming. At this time, the grand palace had been built to the point of being roofed, so the divine light on Kai Ming's body was gradually being covered.

Su Yun walked into this brand new temple, with the Heavenly Phoenix following behind. He saw people bustling and working in the temple, many workers standing on scaffolding, pasting gold foil on the walls, and some were hammering giant stones, using them as bricks. Some spiritualists activated their mana to transport the giant stones to high places.

They went all the way to the main hall deep in the temple, where they saw the enlightened divine beast squatting on beautiful jade, with nine heads, tiger heads and human faces, silently overlooking all directions.

The main hall in this temple was illuminated by the divine light on Kai Ming's body, making it look like a fairy palace. And above his head, many workers were sealing the roof.

"Brother Kai Ming, do you really want to accept the worship of the world here and enjoy false glory?"

Su Yun laughed heartily and took out the horn of Winged Dragon, saying, "Nowadays, humans and demons are hunting gods and demons everywhere, and many gods and demons have been killed by them. Winged Dragon is worried about your safety, so he asked me to come and find you."

One of Kai Ming's heads lowered to look at him, then raised it and shook his head, saying, "I am Kai Ming Jin Jing, the divine of great light. Humans and demons cannot harm me at all. Not to mention humans and demons, even Xiang Liu saw me before he became divine, and was broken by my divine aura, howling and fleeing. If humans and demons don't come to see me, it's fine. If they come to see me, I will make sure they won't return!"

Su Yun said in a deep voice, "Brother Ming, humans and demons have Immortal Scrolls in their hands! You know the power of the Immortal Scrolls..."

"Hahaha!"

The other heads of Kai Ming turned around and laughed in unison, "It is extremely difficult to activate the Immortal Scrolls, and the preparation time is too long. He won't have time to activate the Immortal Scrolls, and I can cut off his head!"

Su Yun's heart sank. Kai Ming was stubborn and didn't like to move around. He also liked to be flattered. No matter how he persuaded him, Kai Ming refused to leave.Su Yun turned to leave, thinking to himself, "I can't afford to waste too much time on him. The longer I delay, the greater the danger other gods and demons may face..."

As he stepped out of the grand hall, he suddenly turned back, tears streaming down his face. "Brother Ming, to tell you the truth, it was Brother Winged Dragon who sent me here for help. Brother Winged Dragon, he..."

Overwhelmed with grief, he took out two horns of the Winged Dragon. One of the horns had a small branch removed. He choked out, "Brother Winged Dragon fell into enemy hands, and only these two horns managed to escape! Look, one of his horns was even cut off by someone!"

.

Ming's face changed drastically. He picked up the dragon horns, examined them carefully, and asked in a trembling voice, "Tell me everything in detail!"

Su Yun wept, "His remaining spirit is attached to the dragon horns. He only told me that he was targeted by the remnants of the human demons, and then he lost his breath. I don't know whether he is dead or alive..."

"Why didn't you say this earlier?"

Ming hurriedly descended from the jade platform. His body flickered and transformed into a young boy with a tiger's head. He said hastily, "Let's go, let's go! We need to find the other gods! By the way, did he cry and beg you? Can you mimic what he said while crying..."

Su Yun, Ying Ying, and Tian Feng turned their heads to look behind him, only to see eight identical young boys with tiger heads following him.

"I'm not taking pleasure in his misfortune! Absolutely not..."

The nine boys explained in unison, "I don't know why, but when I think of Winged Dragon's crying voice, I feel an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. It's probably because he used to beat me... I have no intention of mocking him!"
