Chapter 676, Shocking the Entire Assembly

[The Master Craftsman’s Hammer!!!?]

 

Upon witnessing this peculiarly designed massive hammer, the originally sky-piercing clamour came to an abrupt halt.

 

As the Mo Clan, who prided themselves as descendants of the Lu Ban Sect Master,and the strongest amongst the Lu Ban’s Descendants,  virtually everyone recognised this object.

 

Because within the Mo Clan’s ancestral shrine, an identical Master Craftsman’s Hammer was enshrined!

 

At this moment, the Mo Clan members who had been clamouring originally all froze like ice sculptures in place, utterly motionless.

 

Only burning gazes of reverent worship remained, locked unwaveringly upon the peculiarly shaped hammer in Qin Yichen’s hands.

 

Opposite Qin Yichen, those Elders who had originally been hesitating whether to directly apprehend these three individuals now bore expressions that had turned vacant.

 

The image of the Master Craftsman’s Hammer was etched deep within their Souls. Naturally, they could not possibly fail to recognise the Master Craftsman’s Hammer!

 

Even these several Mo Clan Elders found themselves speechless at this moment, their faces bearing nothing but shock upon shock.

 

When the shock passed, their first instinct was to question whether the Master Craftsman’s Hammer was real!

 

Because the Master Craftsman’s Hammer had vanished for far, far too long. As Lu Ban’s Descendants, they had naturally been searching for the Master Craftsman’s Hammer’s whereabouts all along, yet there had never been any news.

 

Who could have imagined that the Master Craftsman’s Hammer would appear in such a remote, impossibly remote small Grand Empire?

 

Subsequently, these several Elders began observing the Master Craftsman’s Hammer closely.

 

A moment later…

 

“It’s authentic!” The Third Elder rendered his judgement. When he spoke these two words, his voice carried tremors, his facial expression approaching excitement and fervour.

 

To them, the Master Craftsman’s Hammer represented their faith!!!

 

When the Master Craftsman’s Hammer appeared before their eyes, their emotional state was beyond imagination.

 

Immediately, the surroundings resonated with successive sharp intakes of breath. Instantly, their gazes towards Qin Yichen transformed.

 

Some held shock.

 

Some held amazement.

 

Naturally, there were some other reactions as well.

 

Gongshu Zhiyi, standing beside Qin Yichen, immediately became like a proud little peacock, surveying her surroundings with supreme satisfaction. [*Hmph!* Serves you right for looking down on us!]

 

Since arriving at the Mo Clan, their group had received treatment of neglect, mockery, and indifference. Now, observing their faces frozen in such shock they could not close their mouths, she naturally felt immensely satisfied.

 

However, Lu Xiaoguan was different.

 

From the moment Qin Yichen produced the Master Craftsman’s Hammer, his expression had grown somewhat tense, his gaze continuously monitoring those several Mo Clan Elders.

 

Because he understood clearly that the Master Craftsman’s Hammer’s possessor held another identity, the Lu Ban Sect Master!

 

No matter how powerful the Mo Clan might be, they ultimately belonged to the Lu Ban Sect.

 

This point would not be disputed even by the Mo Clan itself.

 

So then, would the Mo Clan acknowledge Qin Yichen as their Sect Master!?

 

If acknowledged, everyone would be happy. If not acknowledged…

 

The first to recover from the emotional state were still those several Mo Clan Elders.

 

They naturally realised this point as well. The several individuals exchanged glances, looking towards the Third Elder.

 

“Go notify the Patriarch and Great Elder to come!”

 

The Third Elder instructed an Elder beside him, whereupon that Elder swiftly departed.

 

Clearly, this matter had already exceeded what he could resolve.

 

Qin Yichen’s identity remained unclear, though he could discern the identities of Gongshu Zhiyi and Lu Xiaoguan from the tokens they carried.

 

Gongshu Zhiyi and Lu Xiaoguan, standing beside Qin Yichen, would represent that the Gongshu Clan and Lu Clan had already acknowledged Qin Yichen’s identity and status.

 

However, speaking of Qin Yichen’s talent…

 

He furrowed his brow slightly.

 

Although when carving, Qin Yichen had entered an Egoless Trance, those movements could hardly be called flowing like clouds and water. They could only barely be considered skilful.

 

For ordinary members of the Dao of Crafting, this was already quite impressive, but it still could not catch his eye.

 

However, regarding Qin Yichen’s Spiritual Energy cultivation and mastery, though he had not spoken aloud, his heart held tremendous shock, even something that could be called breathtaking.

 

The Unity of Heart and Soul!

 

Having stepped into that Realm, the Third Elder understood clearly how difficult reaching it truly was.

 

Yet how old was Qin Yichen?!

 

During the Elders’ silence, the surrounding Mo Clan members also gradually awakened.

 

Beyond some exclamations, there were also whispered conversations.

 

Naturally, many people had considered that point.

 

He was the Lu Ban Sect Master!

 

Could it be that their Mo Clan would have to submit beneath this foreign youth?

 

Mo Xun’s complexion shifted uncertainly, his eyes fixed unblinkingly upon the Master Craftsman’s Hammer in Qin Yichen’s hands, his gaze flickering.

 

He might not be the Mo Clan’s most outstanding youth. Contrarily, he understood forbearance and concealed his own strength. Perhaps many believed that among the younger generation he ranked merely fifth, at most fourth, but his performance today was sufficient to place him in the top three.

 

Yet, his true strength could trample even the top two.

 

However, even trampling the top two, he still could not shake the position of the top youth.

 

He understood clearly, as did all Mo Clan youth, that person was a once-in-a-millennium monster. Moreover, according to legend, two years ago, his mastery over Spiritual Energy had already reached the Unity of Heart and Soul Realm!

 

Meaning, until their mastery reached the same Unity of Heart and Soul Realm, they would never have means to compare with that monster.

 

Master Craftsman’s Hammer!

 

In Mo Clan records, it was filled with legendary colours.

 

If one could obtain the Master Craftsman’s Hammer, would that not enable them to trample that monster underfoot?!

 

As Mo Xun contemplated, a massive Roc appeared in the sky, blotting out the Sun, nearly covering the entire Heaven.

 

*Swish! Swish! Swish!*

 

Subsequently, several silhouettes descended from that Roc, landing upon the elevated platform.

 

“Patriarch!”

 

“Great Elder!”

 

The Mo Clan members successively paid respects to the two elderly, decrepit figures standing foremost.

 

Clearly, the Mo Clan Patriarch and Great Elder had arrived!

 

Having received that Elder’s report, they had immediately come to this location.

 

Regarding the surrounding calls, neither paid any attention, their gazes immediately focusing upon the Master Craftsman’s Hammer in Qin Yichen’s hands.

 

At first glance alone, the Mo Clan Patriarch’s pupils dilated slightly.

 

That Mo Clan Great Elder, however, moved with wind beneath his feet, directly approaching Qin Yichen’s front, appearing somewhat nervous and seemingly somewhat constrained, asking, “Might I… observe it?”

 

“Of course.” Qin Yichen smiled faintly, extending the Master Craftsman’s Hammer before him.

 

Having produced the Master Craftsman’s Hammer here, he naturally was not afraid of the Mo Clan forcibly seizing it.

 

If the Mo Clan would truly act like that, then they would not be worth his effort to win over.

 

The Mo Clan Great Elder’s hands trembled somewhat as he received the Master Craftsman’s Hammer.

 

Even after receiving it, he maintained two hands, holding it like the greatest treasure.

 

This did not resemble observation. Rather, it was prostrate worship of one’s faith!
