All the major powers studied Ming Kun's information, and after a long while, they could only sigh, marveling at the Underworld Lord's astonishing ability to nurture offspring.
Many beings even became interested in the Time Secret Realm.
Thus, a group of Grand Luo Immortals, disregarding all else, rushed towards the Underworld Lord's mansion.
For a time, the Underworld Lord's mansion was bustling with activity.
Lin Yu's consciousness had been floating above Ming Kun's head, observing all this. Seeing that Ming Kun had returned and would not be venturing out for a while, Lin Yu withdrew his consciousness.
Blue Star.
Central City, Lin Mansion.
Lin Yu opened his eyes.
He sighed, "This trip has been quite rewarding. At the very least, it has shown me that the Underworld is also full of intertwined powers."
"However, the Underworld possesses the power of reincarnation and hides too many secrets. My current avatar of the Underworld Heavenly Son cannot access these secrets yet; I need to continue improving my cultivation."
With this thought, he stood up.
He was still far from accumulating enough upgrade points to advance his cultivation, and it would take some time to gather them. Lin Yu then thought of his idea to refine artifacts, so he decided to learn artifact refining for now.
"Fortunately, I have plenty of refining materials on hand!"
With a thought, he issued commands to his avatars.
"All twenty-five billion of you avatars, go and learn artifact refining!"
Upon receiving the command, all the avatars paused slightly and quickly responded, "We obey the main body's command!"
With that, they put down their current tasks and went to learn artifact refining.
Thus, a peculiar scene unfolded across Blue Star.
A group of Lin Yu's avatars abandoned their hunting and began to set up artifact refining sites on the spot.
This scene naturally attracted the attention of many beings. Upon realizing it was Lin Yu's avatars, they stopped to observe, curious about what Lin Yu was up to.
After all, in this world, Lin Yu was the uncrowned king, and every action he took drew the attention of all living beings.
"Huh? Is this a blacksmith's shop?"
"What are you talking about? Don't you see this is an artifact refining room?"
"Ah? I'm an artifact refiner myself. This refining room is too crude, even worse than a blacksmith's shop."
"Look, they are learning artifact refining."
"Such clumsy techniques. My youngest apprentice is a hundred times better than them."
"Is Lord Lin Yu learning artifact refining? But starting from scratch, isn't that too difficult?"
"As everyone knows, artifact refining is a skill that is difficult to get started with and even more difficult to master. I, this old man, have been learning artifact refining for over thirty thousand years and can only refine low-grade immortal artifacts."
Everyone started discussing.
Especially the artifact refiners, who were filled with emotion.
In their view, learning artifact refining was not something that could be achieved in a short time. It required repeated practice and contemplation; it was an extremely time-consuming skill.
Seeing the clumsy movements of Lin Yu's avatars, they did not believe they were doing something useless.
All the artifact refiners shook their heads.
"Alas, Lord Lin Yu is too proud. If he were to humble himself and ask this old man, I would willingly and for free impart our sect's supreme artifact refining techniques."
An old man sighed.
Another old man also shook his head and sighed, "Lord Lin Yu is already so powerful, yet he still insists on learning artifact refining. It would be better for him to focus all his energy on cultivation."
Someone shook their head, "With such clumsy techniques, even if he practiced for ten years, he would gain nothing."
Everyone sighed, none of them believing that Lin Yu would become a master artifact refiner.
In fact, while they expressed pity and sighs outwardly, they secretly held a disdainful attitude.
You, Lin Yu, have monstrous cultivation talent. At such a young age, you have become a High God and can fight beyond your level. In this regard, we are inferior to you.
But you want to self-learn artifact refining? That is too arrogant.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, drawing the attention of many.
"Look! Lord Lin Yu has refined a Divine-grade weapon!"
Hearing this, all beings looked over.
Indeed, Lin Yu's avatar had refined a divine sword.
Although it was only a low-grade divine artifact, it still caused a slight stir. One must remember that Lin Yu was clearly an amateur at artifact refining just moments ago.
How long had it been?
At most a few minutes, and he had gone from a clumsy refiner to someone who could forge divine artifacts.
Unbelievable!
They did not know that Lin Yu already had a foundation in artifact refining, but he had not followed the orthodox path of artifact refinement.
He had long ago cultivated the "Myriad Treasures Condensing Artifact Art" to its highest level, which allowed him to transform energy into equipment, capable of transforming into divine artifacts at its peak.
However, this was not truly artifact refining but a type of sorcery.
Therefore, while it inspired him and gave him a foundation in artifact refining, it did not allow him to forge divine artifacts.
Now, with the combined efforts of so many avatars, he had finally succeeded in refining divine artifacts.
This also signified that he had become a Divine-grade Artifact Refiner.
Then, with a thought, he commanded his avatars to continue their efforts.
Upon receiving the command, the avatars immediately sprang into action.
They rapidly began to frantically refine divine artifacts, increasing their proficiency. Resources disappeared from the small world incessantly.
Divine artifacts appeared in their hands one after another.
After a long while, many artifact refiners were dumbfounded.
They pointed at Lin Yu's avatars and stammered, "His... his success rate in refining divine artifacts has become one hundred percent!"
Through constant practice and the collective efforts of numerous avatars, he had accumulated immense experience in refining divine artifacts. Finally, he comprehended the profound mysteries, and now he could achieve a hundred percent success rate in refining any divine-grade equipment.
Having reached this point, he knew it was time to move on.
"Next, it's time to refine Lord God-grade treasures!"
The Lord Gods of the Divine Path corresponded to the Heavenly Immortals of the Immortal Path. Although their cultivation paths were different, their treasures were largely similar, and understanding one led to understanding the other.
Seeing Lin Yu start refining artifacts again, all the artifact refiners who had been dumbfounded immediately perked up.
Initially, Lin Yu's refining of Lord God-grade artifacts was still clumsy, like a complete novice who had just encountered artifact refining. However, this time, no one dared to underestimate him.
Time flowed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
For these three days, everyone held their breath, staring at the performance of Lin Yu's avatars.
Across the world, countless avatars were refining artifacts simultaneously.
Suddenly!
Countless beams of treasure light shot up into the sky.
Everyone looked up, dumbfounded.
After a long while, they finally reacted, gasping in astonishment.
"This is the phenomenon of Lord God-grade treasures being born!"
"Incredible. Within this radiance, ten thousand Daos are contained. There are Heavenly Immortal artifacts, Lord God artifacts, and even Witch artifacts..."
"He understands so many artifact refining methods, it's inconceivable."
"The key point is that he has refined billions of Lord God-grade treasures. The realms will be thrown into turmoil next."
"Yes, countless merchants will flock here."
"From now on, the Lord God artifacts we possess will be worthless."
"Alas~"
"Who told us to encounter a true genius."
"........"
Everyone complained inwardly.
When Lin Yu refined divine artifacts, they were merely surprised. But when Lin Yu refined Lord God-grade treasures, they were utterly stunned.
The strongest among those present were only at the Lord God level.
Yet Lin Yu had refined billions of Lord God-grade treasures.
Inconceivable!
They looked at Lin Yu as if he were a monstrous prodigy.
