Chapter 1533 Ancient Anvil Association

1533 Ancient Anvil Association

”Have you heard? Exalted Blacksmith has returned and announced that he would be doing the God of Creation Ceremony!”

”No way! The one who disappeared from the world after Eternal Blacksmith became the God of Creation nine thousand years ago?! When is he going to do the God of Creation Ceremony!?”

”He said heʼs going to do it next month.”

”Next month? Thatʼs too soon!”

Once news of Tian Qiyuanʼs God of Creation Ceremony spread, people from around the world flocked to the Grand Elder Summit, where he would perform the ceremony.

”The Grand Elder Summit, again? Itʼll definitely become a tradition to perform the ceremony there from now on.”

At the Grand Elder Summit, countless people gathered there, including the Divine Blacksmiths, as well as the God of Creation.

”I knew he was training in seclusion, but I didnʼt anticipate he would perform the God of Creation Ceremony this soon.” Silver Flame Blacksmith said out loud.

”Itʼs been around ten thousand years since he became a Divine Blacksmith, right? This is a little too soon, no matter how I look at it.” Star Forging Blacksmith sighed.

”Can he even craft Celestial-grade treasures? I bet he rushed to perform the ceremony the moment he crafted his first Celestial-grade treasure!” Fiery Heaven Blacksmith laughed in a mocking tone.

”What do you think of Exalted Blacksmithʼs decision to perform the ceremony, God of Creation?” Heaven and Earth Blacksmith asked him.

God of Creation pondered for a moment before responding, ”He crafted his first Empyrean-grade treasure around ten thousand years ago. Even if heʼs managed to improve enough to craft Celestial-grade treasures with this little time, I cannot imagine he could have achieved a high success rate.”

Relentless Blacksmith nodded in agreement with God of Creation and said, ”I share the same sentiment. No matter how talented you are, there is a limit to what you can achieve. All of us performed our first God of Creation Ceremony after a hundred thousand years of achieving Celestial-grade treasure, too.”

”Letʼs bet on how much treasure heʼll craft. Iʼll bet a Glistening Cold Ore on 5.” Fiery Heaven Blacksmith suddenly said.

”That sounds fun. Iʼll bet a nine-inch long and three-inch thick Ancient Burning Wood on 12.” Relentless Blacksmith said.

The others also joined in on the fun.

”Can I join you guys?” A new voice suddenly resounded.

The group of Divine Blacksmiths turned to look at the person who had just spoken simultaneously.

”If it isnʼt the Sword Goddess. Of course, you can join in on the fun.” Heaven and Earth Blacksmith said, knowing that she was a friend of Tian Qiyuan.

”So, whatʼs your bet?” Fiery Heaven Blacksmith asked.

”Iʼll bet this.” Zi Xuan retrieved an entire Golden Celestial Tree from her spatial ring, shocking everyone there.

”Youʼre betting an entire Golden Celestial Tree?! And itʼs at least 1 million years old!” Yin Yang Blacksmith exclaimed in a shocked voice.

”Is it too much? Iʼll change it if you donʼt want it,” Zi Xuan casually said.

”Who said anything about not wanting it? If you want to bet that, by all means!” Fiery Heaven Blacksmith laughed.

”What is your prediction?” Silver Flame Blacksmith asked.

Without hesitation, Zi Xuan responded with a calm smile on her face, ”Iʼll bet on 100.”

”Huh?”

Everyone paying attention to their little gamble raised their eyebrows in a puzzled manner after hearing her words, most of them believing they had misheard her.

”Did I hear you correctly? That youʼd bet on Exalted Blacksmith crafting 100 Celestial-grade treasures during the ceremony?” God of Creation asked with a look of disbelief on his face.

”Indeed, you heard me correctly.” Zi Xuan calmly nodded her head.

”...”

After a moment of silence, Fiery Heaven Blacksmith burst out laughing, ”Hahaha! If youʼre trying to donate that Golden Celestial Tree to one of us, just say so! Thereʼs no need to utter such nonsense!”

The other Divine Blacksmiths also laughed out loud. None of them could take Zi Xuan seriously, after all.

”Alright, since everyone is having fun, Iʼll join, too.” God of Creation said as he retrieved a rare material from his spatial ring. ”Iʼll bet on 20.”

”20? Youʼre overestimating him too much, God of Creation.” Fiery Heaven Blacksmith shook his head.

”Weʼll see about that…” he calmly said.

The people who sat around them wanted to join in on the fun, but none of them had the guts to do so, as the Divine Blacksmithsʼ presence was simply too much for them, not to mention the God of Creation himself.

Sometime later, Tian Qiyuan showed up at the Grand Elder Summit. However, there was an issue that most of the people there immediately noticed.

”Huh? Where is the Ancient Anvil Association?” Star Forging Blacksmith questioned out loud.

”Perhaps theyʼre running late?” Silver Flame Blacksmith said.

”Thereʼs no way they would be late to the God of Creation Ceremony. Itʼs sacred for them.” Heaven and Earth Blacksmith said.

”Exalted Blacksmith, where is the Ancient Anvil Association? You are aware that their presence is essential for the ceremonyʼs legitimacy, are you not?” the God of Creation inquired.

Tian Qiyuan looked at him and said, ”I know, but I donʼt think theyʼll show up.”

”Why is that?” God of Creation became even more puzzled.

”Because I refused to be associated with them,” he calmly said.

”What?! Youʼre telling me that youʼve been an unofficial blacksmith this entire time?!?!” Heaven and Earth Blacksmith exclaimed in a bewildered voice.

”Thatʼs right.” Tian Qiyuan calmly nodded.

To be officially recognized as a blacksmith, one must register with the Ancient Anvil Association.

”Impossible! How come the Ancient Anvil Association hasnʼt mentioned this before?!” Silver Flame Blacksmith asked, her voice filled with disbelief.

”More importantly, why did you refuse to accept them? Theyʼre recognized by almost every blacksmith in the world,” the God of Creation asked.

”Itʼs simply a matter of pettiness,” Tian Qiyuan replied with a casual shrug. ”We had some disagreements in the past, and Iʼve held a grudge ever since.” His words left everyone speechless.
