After returning to Martial Grandmaster Ku Fa's residence, Fang Chen went straight to rest.
Over the next few days, Fang Chen continued to learn how to refine weapons and temper his mental state. Finally, after some hard work, Fang Chen managed to refine a low-grade Yuan Weapon. This way, Fang Chen had become a Blacksmith Grandmaster.
"Brother Fang, congratulations on becoming a Blacksmith Grandmaster." Martial Grandmaster Ku Fa grinned from the side.
Fang Chen smiled faintly. "In front of a Martial Grandmaster, my little achievement is nothing."
"Brother Fang, you can't say that. I wasn't even a Blacksmith Grandmaster when I was your age," said Martial Grandmaster Ku Fa.
"Martial Grandmaster Ku Fa, my mental state has improved a lot after learning how to refine weapons from you. It's time for me to leave this place," said Fang Chen suddenly.
"Fang Chen, where are you going?" asked Martial Grandmaster Ku Fa.
During the time he had spent with Fang Chen, Martial Grandmaster Ku Fa had discovered that Fang Chen's personality and other aspects were rather perfect. He could be considered a pretty good member of the younger generation.
"I'll take it one step at a time," said Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, the Nanling Continent is filled with danger. You have to be careful," warned Martial Grandmaster Ku Fa.
Fang Chen nodded.
The next day, Fang Chen left Martial Grandmaster Ku Fa's residence and left Leaning City.
The instant Fang Chen left Water Leaning City, two black figures followed closely behind him. Of course, after the two black figures left, martial grandmaster Ku Fa's figure appeared on the streets of Water Leaning City.
"As expected."
Martial Grandmaster Ku Fa's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he watched the two of them leave.
After leaving Luishui City, Fang Chen appeared in a wasteland. Although he could fly for a short period of time, Fang Chen still wanted to experience the scenery of the Southern Mountain Range.
However, what Fang Chen didn't know was that not far away from him, Xue Guang and Bu Han were trembling on the ground in horror.
"Senior, please let us go," Bu Han cried out in fear.
"Humph! When you want to kill others, you have to be prepared to be killed by others," Grandmaster Ku Fa did not want the two of them to disturb Fang Chen, so he had taken a step forward and captured the two of them.
After interrogating him, Martial Grandmaster Ku Fa discovered that the warrior named Bu Han was actually a disciple of the Barren Sect. As he had a grudge with Fang Chen, he wanted to kill Fang Chen.
Puchi
Martial Grandmaster Ku Fa pressed his palm down and killed the two of them. He glanced in the direction that Fang Chen had left, then turned around and returned.
After walking for about six hours, Fang Chen arrived at the foot of a mountain. Just as he was about to rest, he suddenly met an acquaintance.
"Green-Robed Sword Marquis."
When Fang Chen saw this person, he called out.
The Green-Robed Sword Marquis also noticed Fang Chen. The first time they met was in the tomb of the Condensing Reality Realm expert.
Back then, when the two of them exchanged blows, Fang Chen had gained the upper hand. After parting ways, they finally met again.
"We finally meet again."
The Green-Robed Sword Marquis did not know Fang Chen's name, but he recognized Fang Chen. When he saw Fang Chen, his face was full of smiles.
At this moment, the Green-Robed Sword Marquis was surrounded by dense sword intent. His eyes were filled with battle intent.
"Let's fight."
The Green-Robed Sword Marquis was a martial arts fanatic. Back then, he was proud and arrogant, but he was defeated by Fang Chen. This time, he naturally wanted to fight again.
"Alright."
Fang Chen nodded. The Green-Robed Sword Marquis had a good character. Fang Chen was happy to make friends with this kind of person.
Whoosh!
Just as the Green-Robed Sword Marquis finished speaking, a longsword suddenly appeared in his hand. His wrist shook and a wild sword intent appeared on the longsword.
"Be careful."
The Green-Robed Sword Marquis growled and launched a fierce attack.
"Not bad."
When Fang Chen saw the Green-Robed Sword Marquis' attack, he nodded with satisfaction. The latter had made great progress. Although in his eyes, there was nothing to be afraid of, this kind of progress was not something an ordinary person could achieve.
Moreover, the Green-Robed Sword Marquis' control of sword intent had also reached a certain level.
"Illusion God Sword Art."
Fang Chen used the Illusion God Sword Art. The wild illusory Qi was integrated into the sword intent and instantly bombarded towards the Green-Robed Sword Marquis.
Crack!
The Green-Robed Sword Marquis originally thought that he would be able to defeat Fang Chen. But in just one move, he had been defeated.
"How is this possible?" The Green-Robed Sword Marquis was a bit puzzled.
"You've actually become so strong."
"Your strength isn't bad either." Fang Chen said.
"Why did I lose to you?" The Green-Robed Sword Marquis seriously asked.
"There are three reasons why you lost to me. The first is because of the Illusion Sword Dao. The second is because your weapon is a low level profound weapon. The third is because my sword intent has reached the third minor realm." Fang Chen said.
"What?!"
The Green-Robed Sword Marquis was thoroughly shocked by Fang Chen's words.
He had originally thought that he was a genius in the Sword Dao and was complacent. But compared to Fang Chen, his so-called genius was simply laughable.
Not to mention the difference in weapons, just the difference in sword intent was impossible to make up for.
"Your sword intent has actually reached the third minor realm. Truly amazing." The Green-Robed Sword Marquis sighed inwardly.
The Green-Robed Sword Marquis was known as a genius in the Sword Dao in the Water City. But after so many years, his sword intent had only reached the second minor realm.
Fang Chen's sword intent had actually reached the third minor realm. This was definitely a heaven-defying genius in the Sword Dao.
"I'm leaving." Fang Chen finished speaking and turned to leave.
"I will definitely not give up." The Green-Robed Sword Marquis looked at Fang Chen's departing figure and said in a deep voice.
The Sky Ghost Forest was a famous forbidden area outside of the Water City. It was extremely dangerous. It was said that if an ordinary Condensing Reality Realm warrior entered, they would not be able to escape unscathed.
Fang Chen had accidentally entered the Sky Ghost Forest. Just a moment ago, Fang Chen had encountered a 5th Condensing Reality Realm demonic beast. This demonic beast was extremely strong. Fang Chen had to use all of his strength to kill it.
After killing the demonic beast, Fang Chen continued to advance.
However, after advancing for a while, he suddenly heard the sound of battle.
"Someone's here." Fang Chen was puzzled. Then, he quickly rushed towards the source of the sound.
When Fang Chen arrived at the scene of the battle, he was surprised to find that it was not a human. It was the remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect fighting a demonic beast.
There were two remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect. Their strength was roughly at the early 5th Condensing Reality Realm. The two of them were fighting a demonic beast together.
Under the two's battle, the demonic beast was on the verge of collapse.
"Bang!"
Under Fang Chen's gaze, the two remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect finally killed the demonic beast.
"Old Wu, your strength has increased a lot."
"I was bored, so I came out to kill demonic beasts. I don't know when I'll be able to leave this damn Valley Fill Forest." The remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect called Old Wu said.
Just as the two were talking, they suddenly discovered Fang Chen.
"There's a human." Old Wu was the first to discover Fang Chen. His eyes were filled with greed when he saw him.
"Old Wu, be careful of the map on you." The remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect saw that Old Wu was about to make a move and warned him.
"Don't worry. This human warrior is so young. He's definitely not strong. Let's kill him and suck his blood dry. Then, we'll go back." After Old Wu finished speaking, he directly appeared in front of Fang Chen.
"I didn't expect there to be remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect here." Fang Chen said coldly.
"Kid, it's too late for you to know." Old Wu's voice fell and he directly attacked.
However, Fang Chen's attack was faster than his. He performed the Phantom Sword Art. The illusory aura instantly filled the air and Old Wu was instantly trapped in an illusion.
The Hidden Star Sword in Fang Chen's hand directly pierced Old Wu's body.
Crack!
Old Wu didn't even have time to speak before he was killed by Fang Chen. This happened so suddenly that the other remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect didn't even have time to react.
By the time he reacted, Fang Chen had already picked up Old Wu's interspatial ring.
"Put down Old Wu's interspatial ring!" The remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect roared angrily.
Fang Chen snorted coldly. Holding the Hidden Star Sword in his hand, he walked straight towards him.
The remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect instantly transmitted this matter back and then attacked Fang Chen.
A second later, the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect was killed by Fang Chen. Then, Fang Chen quickly disappeared from the Heavenly Ghost Forest.
In the depths of the Heavenly Ghost Forest, there was an extremely dense evil aura. There was a secret stronghold of the Yellow Spring Sect here.
The person in charge of this stronghold was called Protector Zhe Gu. He had yet to recover from his serious injuries, so his cultivation base was only at the Seventh Stage of the Condensing Reality Realm.
However, even so, he was still strong enough.
At this moment, Protector Zhe Gu was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the dense evil aura, recovering his strength. As time passed, his body continued to absorb the wild evil aura around him. Beside him, there were many remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect guarding him.
"What map is lost?" Protector Zhe Gu, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly roared angrily.
"The map is lost. That idiot Old Wu." The other remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect kept cursing Old Wu when they heard that the map was lost.
"Old Wu was killed and the map was lost. It was taken by a human warrior. All of you, go and find him. He is still in the Heavenly Ghost Forest. We must find the map at all costs." Protector Zhe Gu roared angrily.
