Although Nie Yan could roughly guess the reason behind Fleeting Rena's actions, it was not of much help to the current situation. The opening of the Heaven and Earth Furnace was destined to fail … although it was not a complete failure. The Fleeting Family had obtained a complete victory, and Song Hama had managed to save his Cloudcast Iron. Guhan was the only one who had lost completely.
"Forget it!
Don't think that I'll give up just like that. I'll definitely find a second chance! "
Guhan touched his suitcase. There was still 7000cc of Sovereign Blood in it. This was what Guhan needed to activate the Heaven and Earth Furnace for the second time. As long as the suitcase remained, there was still hope for the King of Yue to be reborn.
Although Guhan still had hope in his heart, it was only for the future. Guhan no longer had any hope for the present.
He could only hope that the flames of the Heaven and Earth Furnace would be extinguished as soon as possible so that he could leave this place.
Guhan let out a long sigh. He suddenly realised that Zhao Hao was slowly moving towards him.
"Stop!" Guhan yelled. "You can't get close to this place."
Guhan was right. Zhao Hao could not get close to this place, as he was extremely close to the opening in the lid. Large amounts of hot air were spewing out from the opening.
Guhan's body had been strengthened by the Famed Swordmistress, which was why he was able to stand so close to this place.
If Zhao Hao, who was only an ordinary person, tried to get close to this place, he would probably suffer from a severe heat stroke within a few steps. If he was not careful, he might even die. This was why Guhan had to stop Zhao Hao.
"I know!
I know! "
Zhao Hao smiled sheepishly. He was still a dozen or so metres away from Guhan, but the heat in the air was already too much for him to bear.
"What a pity!
I'm clearly right next to the Heaven and Earth Furnace, and the furnace has already been activated, but I can only stare at it … How great would it be if I could borrow the Heaven and Earth Furnace to forge a sword! "Zhao Hao sighed emotionally and gloomily said.
For a mere Sword Forging Grandmaster, witnessing the working process of the Worldly Cauldron was indeed one of the greatest pursuits in life.
If there was anything that could surpass this goal, it would be to forge his own man-made Sword Maiden.
"You want to use the Furnace of Heaven and Earth to forge a Sword Maiden?" Guhan's eyes lit up. He seemed to have thought of something.
"Yeah!"
Zhao Hao nodded weakly. "It's a pity that you didn't tell me about the Heaven and Earth Furnace when you came out. Otherwise, I would've risked my life to return to the lab and bring all my forging tools and materials here. Then, I would've personally used the Heaven and Earth Furnace to forge a man-made sword maiden."
An artificial Sword Maiden forged using the Furnace of Heaven and Earth would definitely possess extraordinary energy. A 99% similarity would probably be the lowest. I might be able to forge an Innate Sword Maiden!
I will become the number one grandmaster in the world since ancient times! "Speaking up to this point, Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel somewhat proud.
However, Zhao Hao was purely delusional. It was true that the Furnace of Heaven and Earth could forge a top-notch man-made Sword Maiden, but it was impossible to forge an Innate Sword Maiden.
Although the Furnace of Heaven and Earth had not been activated many times in history, it had indeed been activated before. During this period of time, there must have been Sword Forging Grandmasters or even Martial Grandmasters who wanted to use the Furnace of Heaven and Earth to forge an Innate Sword Maiden.
However, history told Gu Han that in the past 1,000 years, there had never been a Natural Sword Lady born in the hands of a human swordsmith. Even those grandmasters with terrifying swordsmithing abilities could only forge 99% artificial Sword Ladies at most.
However, when he thought about it from another perspective, it did not seem impossible.
What the predecessors could not do did not necessarily mean that the future generations could not do it.
If Zhao Hao really succeeded, he might be able to surpass the Martial Grandmaster level. If that happened, the humans would have to think of a new title for Zhao Hao.
A Super Grandmaster?
Or a Lightning Grandmaster?
Although Zhao Hao's words were like a joke in Guhan's mind, he had to admit that Zhao Hao had given Guhan a shocking inspiration!
Although the Furnace of Heaven and Earth did not have a body that could be used by Monarch Yue, did Guhan really have to find a ready-made body?
Couldn't Guhan forge a temporary body for Monarch Yue?
This was the Furnace of Heaven and Earth. With the mystical power of the Furnace of Heaven and Earth, it might really be able to forge a body that could be used by Monarch Yue.
It had to be known that the reason why humans had never been able to forge an Innate Sword Maiden was not because they did not have enough swordsmithing skills to forge a body like a Innate Sword Maiden, but because humans could not forge a Innate Sword Maiden's soul. Without a soul, a Innate Sword Maiden could not become an Innate Sword Maiden.
Now that Gu Han had a Sword Forging Grandmaster by his side, as well as such a mystical Heaven and Earth Furnace, it was not impossible for him to forge a perfect Sword Maiden's body.
"Sir Grandmaster Tianri!
If I prepare enough materials for you, can you start forging a Innate Sword Maiden now? "Guhan Yuqi asked Zhao Hao excitedly.
"No problem!"
Zhao Hao knew that every sword-wielder's dimensional pocket was filled with all sorts of strange items. It was not strange for Guhan's dimensional pocket to contain materials that could be used to forge a Innate Sword Maiden.
At this moment, Zhao Hao's mind was filled with the idea of using the Furnace of Heaven and Earth to forge a Innate Sword Maiden, realizing every swordsmithing master's ultimate dream.
Even if Guhan offered to sell the materials to Zhao Hao for ten times or even a hundred times the price, Zhao Hao would agree without hesitation. Even if he had to give up all his wealth, he would get the chance to use the Furnace of Heaven and Earth.
"Alright!
If I want to forge a Innate Sword Maiden, what materials do I need? "
Guhan quickly asked Zhao Hao. According to Guhan's experience, the Furnace of Heaven and Earth was about to reach its highest temperature. This also meant that the best time to forge a Innate Sword Maiden was about to arrive. Guhan could not delay for even a second.
"Of course, I need metal first!" Zhao Hao also quickly replied.
"What kind of metal do you need?
Will normal metal do? "Guhan immediately took out a huge pile of metal items from his dimensional pocket.
"Some of them will do, but some won't!"
Zhao Hao answered decisively after a quick glance at the metal items that Guhan had taken out.
Ordinary metals could not be used to forge a Innate Sword Maiden!
Zhao Hao first kicked out the normal metals from the pile that Guhan had taken out, leaving only a small amount of rare alloy metals.
"Only these metals will do!"
Zhao Hao looked at the remaining alloy metals with a picky expression. "However, these metals are still not good enough. It will be difficult to forge an Innate Sword Maiden with them, and they have not been purified … If I purify them, not only will it waste time, but the metal that I purify might not even be enough to forge a dagger."
"Rare metals!"
Gu Han's head spun furiously, and with a slap, he took out a large pile of metal powder from his dimensional pocket. The pile was as high as a person's waist.
"Will these alloys do?" Guhan asked as he pointed at the pile of gold alloys.
"Oh my god!
Where did you get these Emperor Alloys?
Don't tell me you went to the core room of Yuzhang City's Super Dimensional Wall Protection System!! "
Zhao Hao was very knowledgeable as he recognized that the metal powder that Guhan had taken out was Emperor Alloys. In the entire Yuzhang City, only the core room of the Super Dimensional Wall Protection System had Emperor Alloys.
This was the alloy powder that Misaka Mikoto had dug out from the Emperor Alloy used to protect the Emperor Zergs during Gu Han's battle in the Super Dimensional Coin Core Room.
These extremely valuable metal powders were all kept by Guhan into his dimensional pocket. He did not expect that they would shine in this place.
"It's useful!
Of course it's useful!
It couldn't be any more useful! "
Zhao Hao's face was filled with happiness. "I can't believe that I can use Emperor Alloys to forge a Innate Sword Maiden. I might be able to forge a Spiritual Sword Maiden!" The limit of a man-made Innate Sword Maiden was the Spiritual Sword Maiden. Zhao Hao had reached that limit the moment he opened his mouth.
"What should I do now?" Guhan asked.
"Go in!
Throw all the Emperor Alloy powder in and smelt it into molten iron to forge a Innate Sword Maiden model! "
As soon as Zhao Hao finished speaking, he froze. It was as if he had recalled something very important.
"Did you forget to think about how to forge a Innate Sword Maiden model with these iron powders?" Guhan stared into Zhao Hao's eyes as he asked.
"… No … How could I … Alright … I admit that I missed this part …" Under Guhan's intense gaze, Zhao Hao had no choice but to admit it.
The Heaven and Earth Furnace could automatically melt the Emperor Alloy powder into molten iron. However, there was no way to forge the molten iron into the shape of a sword. This was a job that had to be done by humans.
In the forging room, Zhao Hao could use the tools that were placed in the electric furnace to forge the molten iron into the shape of a sword.
However, this was obviously not practical in the Heaven and Earth Furnace. No human could enter the Heaven and Earth Furnace and forge the shape of a sword by hand.
It was not easy to see the light at the end of the tunnel but it seemed to be stuck here. This was no longer a problem that could be solved by humans.
"Since humans can't solve it, I can only borrow the power of the Innate Sword Maiden!"
He touched his nose and asked Juzi, "Juzi, you're Mo Di's sword, right?"
"Yes … Master!"
Upon hearing Mo Di's name, Juzi's voice seemed to fluctuate a little.
"Then, do you have the ability to forge like Mo Di?" Guhan asked again.
"Master Mo Di's forte lies in the creation of mechanisms. He doesn't have a deep understanding of the art of forging. At most, he only knows how to forge swords …" Ju Zi was a little dejected as she answered.
"That's enough!
That's enough! "Guhan nodded." Juzi, I'll hand over the appearance of the King of Yue to you! "
