As if visiting a grave to burn paper, igniting a fire to heat the kang.

Ji Jue's primary task was to throw one thick spiritual book after another into the fierce flames.

He burned all the record books created by the Taiyi System, detailed imprints of natural disasters recorded over the years by the Tong family at disaster sites everywhere, using their own spiritual essence and matrices.

Then, using his own spiritual essence, he stirred the records, prompting the events to arise.

From the midst of chaotic transformations and terrifying high temperatures, he seized the vitally important moment to fully imprint all the recorded events into the Flame Light furnace's fire.

He reduced the loss of events to the greatest extent and avoided distortions in the records.

Then, by inserting the records and events into the Circulation, everything from the past would evolve again from the furnace, thereby refining the edge and imprinting the marks...

The sound of Sword Sound rose again, a flash of cold light, chaos all around, instantly severed!

As if obeying the operation of heaven and earth, he cut out all desolation and disobedience, establishing a new pattern and rules, such terrifying spirit and sharpness, yet hidden within the iron law.

Based on Tian Yuan, binding many; Ether as the main axis, containing everything; Mirror as the turn, reversing reality and illusion; Ruins as the body, interfering with the present world...

Four blessings, formed from countless rune emblems and Spiritual Circuits, constituted a complete entity.

If it could be forged, probably even the Heavenly People of Tong Shan wouldn't need to look for another weapon. Even if this weapon became of no use to him in the future, it would still be enough to start a new lineage within the Tong family's heritage!

Rather than calling it a weapon, it would be more appropriate to call it a ceremonial artifact!

As Zhou Chong had said...

This was better!

"Feed the material."

Unexpectedly to Ji Jue, Zhou Chong's voice rang out again.

The furnace fire illuminated Ji Jue's eyes.

He reached out his hand once more.

At this moment, he had no time to care for more; for him, this was an unprecedented opportunity. The essence and transformations closely presented in a demonstration of creation, fully focused by a master, with insights sparking tangentially.

He was completely immersed in it.

Without the need for Zhou Chong's orders or reminders, he naturally blended into it.

Without any hesitation.

The record books in his hands, one after another, were thrown into the fierce fire, seizing the extremely crucial opportunity, spurred by Non-attack and continually catalyzed.

And he did not have to speak for himself, those record books, which needed an Ether Chosen One to spend long periods to thoroughly record and repeatedly verify and trace, now seemed inexhaustible, brought in by the people of the Tong family box after box.

No word wasted, and the supply was continuous.

The whole process was flawless and flowed smoothly.

Such a massive project, under Zhou Chong's leadership, had absolutely no bumps or issues. Even if there were any, he resolved them effortlessly.

Even more potential problems had already been removed by him.

Truly a master.

While Ji Jue admired in his heart, he also felt the increasingly heavy weight and pressure on himself.

If the collaboration architecture of All Sources Return were a whole vast system, then the role Ji Jue was playing within it had unknowingly risen from the periphery to the core part.

Even though the essence within still seemed as elusive as a flower in the fog, hard to discern, he was now exposed to and could contact much more change than before.

Unexpectedly, a person as narrow-hearted as Master Zhou Chong could also reveal such generosity and magnanimity during such times.

In front of the Melting Furnace, Zhou Chong's face was as still as water, devoid of any expression.

Only those familiar and close to him could discern the momentary displeasure and darkness that flickered in his eyes.

He didn't want that!

How come Ji Jue was just too damned handy...

For such a massive project, full integration was mandatory, not sparing any effort, and definitely no allowance for slacking off.

Zhou Chong had originally planned to kick him out with disdain the moment he couldn't keep up.

Yet unexpectedly, he was too smooth.

Despite never having cooperated with him before, in just a few feedings, he had already adjusted to the operation of All Sources Return by feel, autonomously judging the timing for feeding and catalyzation.

Moreover, through judgments of the fire control and blessings' extraction, he adjusted his own position autonomously to facilitate other parts in their operations and control, providing assistance.

Even substituting for other parts and bearing the pressure.

Unconsciously, the weight hanging on him had grown more and more.

What many other apprentices and craftsmen struggled with, for him, was as effortless as a breeze; throughout it all, his hands and fingers remained orderly, all spiritual essence flowed smoothly, stable as a rock.

The collaboration in All Sources Return was a process of survival of the fittest, the more one could bear pressure, the more stable one was, the more essential they were.

By the time he regained his senses, he had become one of the keys in the entire project.

Damn it...

Even Zhou Chong, who prided himself as a master and highly cultivated, couldn't help but feel a surge of irritation and… an envy he would never admit amidst his busyness.

All good names were already taken by others.

Why couldn't he find such a good apprentice? With him, who would ever need to worry about his workshop falling behind or the handing down of his craft?

What a pity, what a lament, what hatred.

But then, on second thought... since it's not his trained apprentice, what care could he possibly owe? Since the bike isn't mine, what's wrong if I start pedaling while standing up?!

He should be thanking me!
