“Is Supreme Sage Peng Kong really going to bring the human Elder King into the Roc Forest?”
“After all, the human race’s Elder King has promised to help the roc imperial clan refine a Sage King supreme-grade weapon. Furthermore, he’s only going to take a look. If it were me, I would agree as well!”
“Just going in to take a look? Hmph! The human Elder King isn’t so kind. He’s probably plotting something!”
“With Supreme Sage Peng Kong here, and the Roc Forest being the ancestral grounds of the roc imperial clan, the human Elder King would not be able to get whatever he wants. Since we can get a Sage King weapon for free, why not?”
The ancient races’ experts once more began to chat silently, but because of the lesson they had just been taught, no one dared to say anything rude to the human race Elder King.
On the side of the human race, the humans were also very confused. They did not understand what the Elder King was planning to do. To think he even went to the extent of promising to refine a Sage King weapon for the roc imperial clan.
One had to know that some of the human race’s famous Holy Lands didn’t even have a single Sage King weapon!
“Don’t worry, Supreme Sage Peng Kong. I just want to take a look,” Qin Chen ignored everyone else and smiled at Supreme Sage Peng Kong.
Seeing Qin Chen’s expression, Supreme Sage Peng Kong could not help but worry. After all, this fellow was not someone who would willingly suffer losses. Since the other party was willing to use a Sage King weapon as a price to get into the Roc Forest, how could he not have any ulterior motives?
Even so, Supreme Sage Peng Kong was not willing to miss out on a Sage King weapon. Hence, after much consideration, he decided to agree to Qin Chen’s request. At most, he would just keep an eye on the latter.
“I can bring you to the Roc Forest. However, if you try anything funny, I won’t let you off,” Supreme Sage Peng Kong said in a deep voice.
“No problem!” Qin Chen patted his chest and promised.
Seeing how readily Qin Chen agreed, the feeling that he had been tricked intensified in Supreme Sage Peng Kong’s heart. However, since things had already come to this, he could only fly deep into the Roc Forest with Qin Chen.
The array was opened and Qin Chen entered the Roc Forest under the guidance of Supreme Sage Peng Kong. He stopped on the branch of a towering tree that was a hundred thousand feet tall. The tree was extremely huge, with a diameter of at least 3000 meters. Even the trunk under Qin Chen’s feet was at least 300 meters thick!
There were many residences on the tree trunks, all of which were the houses of the roc imperial clan.
Qin Chen looked into the distance and found that the depths of the Roc Forest were filled with large trees like this. The trunks of these large trees crisscrossed, and at first glance, it looked like a small human village.
“This is the place where the roc imperial clan resides. These trees are all heaven and earth spirit trees that can gather spiritual energy themselves. Cultivating here is a hundred times faster than cultivating outside,” Supreme Sage Peng Kong snorted and introduced the Roc Forest to Qin Chen.
Qin Chen sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here. Just as Supreme Sage Peng Kong had said, the spiritual energy here was extremely dense. It was several times denser than the spiritual energy in the Taiyi Holy Land. The reason why the roc imperial clan could dominate the primordial era must be closely related to the Roc Forest.
“Supreme Sage Peng Kong, I have the utmost respect for the ancient Roc Emperor. I wonder where he attained his path?” Qin Chen asked. He did not forget the reason why he was here.
Supreme Sage Peng Kong was speechless. Naturally, he didn’t believe Qin Chen’s words. However, for the sake of the Sage King weapon, he still brought Qin Chen to the roc imperial clan’s sacred ground.
It was an ancient golden tree. It was only a third the size of the other trees, but it was surrounded by path marks. If one listened carefully, one could hear the clear sound of the great path coming from the ancient tree.
“This is the sacred land of my race, and also the place where the emperor of my race, the ancient Roc Emperor, attained his path. Now that I’ve already satisfied your request, shouldn’t you start forging the Sage King weapon for my race?” Supreme Sage Peng Kong asked.
Qin Chen stared at the ancient golden tree as the system’s notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding!]
[An extremely powerful divinity has been detected here. Would you like to check in?]
[Note: You can repeatedly check in here!]
Qin Chen’s purpose for this trip was to check in, so he naturally did not hesitate to say in his heart, “Check in here!”
The next moment.
[Congratulations, host. You have successfully signed in to the ancient Roc Emperor’s land of enlightenment and obtained the Golden Roc Dao Fire!]
Hearing the system’s voice, Qin Chen was dumbfounded. He had spent the price of refining a Sage King weapon in exchange for a ball of dao fire?
In the world, flames were divided into ordinary fires, spiritual fires ignited by spiritual energy, mystical fires born by Heaven and Earth, and Dao fires that contained the great path. Among them, the mystical fires and Dao fires were the most terrifying and precious.
However, Dao fires were also differentiated into the weak and the strong. After becoming a Sage, one could easily summon a Dao fire. Such a Dao fire only contained a small amount of the great path. Although it was stronger than a spiritual fire, it was far inferior to a mystical fire and was not very precious.
Qin Chen was reluctant to work for nothing. He immediately asked the system to appraise the Golden Roc Dao Fire, wanting to know its quality.
[Golden Roc Dao Fire: Divine-grade Dao fire. It contains the great path of the ancient Roc Emperor and has the power to burn the sky and boil the sea. It is extremely rare.]
Qin Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the introduction. So it was a sporadic peerless-grade Dao fire. It seemed that he had not made a loss on this trip.
After all, with the Golden Roc Dao Fire, the flames would be a huge bonus whether it was refining weapons or medicine. When Qin Chen reached the Supreme Sage realm, he could thus challenge the refining of Supreme Sage weapons and pills.
“The materials for the Sage King weapon have been prepared. When will you start?” Supreme Sage Peng Kong disrupted Qin Chen’s thoughts and urged him to start forging.
Qin Chen retracted his thoughts and looked at the ancient tree with some reluctance to leave. This place contained a powerful divinity, and he had only checked in once. If he checked in for a few more days, he would definitely get a lot of treasures.
His eyes flickered as he thought of an idea. He smiled at Supreme Sage Peng Kong and said, “I can start refining the Sage King weapon right now, but such a process requires the right time and place. I think this place is not bad, so why don’t we do it here?”
“Here?” Supreme Sage Peng Kong’s eyes widened in shock. He had not expected Qin Chen to make such a request.
This was the sacred land of the clan. Even the core disciples of the roc imperial clan could not come here as they pleased. Now that Qin Chen requested to refine the weapon here, he was troubled.
“Must you do it here?” Ancient Sage Peng Xuan frowned.
Qin Chen put on his airs and assumed the attitude of an expert. He replied in a deep voice, “If you want me to successfully refine a Sage King weapon of the highest quality, I have to do it here!”
Supreme Sage Peng Kong naturally did not trust Qin Chen. However, there was indeed a saying that refining weapons required the right time and place. After hesitating for a while, he finally agreed to Qin Chen’s conditions.
After a while, an ancient Sage walked over with an interspatial ring. The interspatial ring flashed with light and revealed a floor full of refining materials. There were ancient mines, dragon and phoenix blood, and spiritual liquid… Any one of them would be a treasure that Sage Kings would fight for in the outside world.
Qin Chen looked at a piece of black ore and was shocked. To think it was the Eternal Night Stone Essence!
