Towards Eternity
Ch 540's. New Weapons & Travel

Weng Lou who was finished with his 'management' left the location where he fought after burying the body of the woman who was his previous opponent.

Although Weng Lou did not really care about the woman, he could not turn a blind eye to her identity as a Martial Practitioner who walked the path of immortality. The body of a Martial Practitioner in the realm of Soul Unification was extremely valuable to Martial Practitioners in the realm of Soul Cleansing.

It was believed that just a mere body piece from them, could help a breakthrough towards a higher stage, or perhaps ascending to the realm of Soul Unification that was considered legendary to some.

"At least don't make trouble for me anymore. I've buried you well, so be calm in the world there," said Weng Lou indifferently.

Red Devil College, Weng Lou's residence.

The figure of Weng Lou is seen jumping high from one stone and landing right on the training field above the mountains that almost resemble a mountain. Du Zhe and the Black Ape Fighters who had gone first to look busy doing their activities when Weng Lou came.

"Teacher?! What the hell is going on with you? Did you fight someone again?" Du Zhe who saw the arrival of Weng Lou had now stood in front of him and asked curiously.

Weng Lou was currently undressed and bare-chested. His body also looks dirty like a pile of very dirty dust.

"Ahahaha...are you worried about me, Du Zhe?" asked Weng Lou who was just aware of the condition of his body.

"Eum!" Unexpectedly Du Zhe immediately nodded without feeling the slightest embarrassment. His young age makes him still have thoughts like children in general so he looks very innocent.

"Hm.no need to worry too much about me, you better stay focused in training, Du Zhe." Although his words were like showing Weng Lou not caring about his student's worries, he was actually quite happy that anyone cared about him in this place far from his home.

Du Zhe only nodded in understanding in return from Weng Lou's words. Previously he was trying to smash a log with his martial technique to try to ascend to the 3rd level Foundation Base and it seemed like he was staying a little longer able to be really good.

Weng Lou immediately headed to a dark room containing a lot of metal stacked in the corner of the room. There was a furnace that did not light up there and also some forging tools that hung neatly on the walls of the room.

A fairly large lantern was lit by Weng Lou and he placed it on the table, making the room brighter and he was able to see well.

Without lingering Weng Lou immediately headed to the fireplace that had nothing in it. He threw coal into it to fill the bottom and began to raise the temperature of the furnace using a special pump located on the edge of the furnace.

Weng Lou's hands continued to pump until the fire inside the furnace began to change color from red to yellowish and the temperature was now much hotter. The coals inside the furnace look bright red due to the heat of the fire inside.

"It should be pretty hot. I don't have the Qi to help me make a hotter fire, but the metal I want to use is only of standard quality, so the temperature of this fire is more than enough" said Weng Lou.

Walking towards the metal pile in the corner of the room, Weng Lou then chose some brownish-colored metal from the pile. He saw some crystal sparkles on the metals, and nodded in satisfaction at them.

He walked back to the furnace, and put the metals he brought into the fire.

*Tsshhhh-" The metals now in the fire began to emit thick black smoke and slowly began to expand and heat up to turn into a bright orange color like hot metal in general.

Once he saw that the metals were hot enough, he immediately took them back and began cleaning the metal. The hammer in his right hand firmly hit the hot metals and the sound of metal clanking rang out loud. He did not stop there and swung his hammer back.

About fifteen minutes after beating the metal, there was a change in all the metal. At first all the metals were brownish in color, but now the cold metal had turned a dark blue after receiving the metal cleaning from Weng Lou.

The small crystals that were previously present in the metals have now been shattered into pieces and scattered throughout the metal. Now a completely different metal has emerged and this is the material Weng Lou wanted to make his new weapon.

"I need a long-range weapon to fight on the ship later, but on the other hand I also need a melee weapon to be able to keep up with opponents who are in the Soul Unification realm. The kha! It's really troublesome. This metal at most can only make two daggers the size of a short sword, but I'm not very good at using daggers like mother....."

Weng Lou felt a dilemma in his heart. Inside his head, he thought quickly and thought of the decision he had to make. This dark blue metal he made could be made into a long bow, or a sword at least one meter long. The weapon he needed the most right now was a bow, but it was not a long-term weapon if he had already reached the territory of the Ryuan Empire.

"Haaahhh, I don't know if this will work or not, but hopefully there's no problem with this weapon" said Weng Lou, who had no other choice.

Like a master carpenter, he began to make the prints of the weapons he would make. It took him about half an hour to make a print that turned out to be two curved swords that seemed to be very thin when it was finished. The two swords were twin swords. There was a difference in the two handles of the sword but it would be hard to see by the eyes of ordinary people.

Calmly Weng Lou then threw back the previous metal into the fire. After heating up again, Weng Lou immediately took out the metal.

Weng Lou's eyes scanned the hot metal for a moment, and immediately placed it on a thick metal container. Next, the container was put into the fire, and Weng Lou began to pump again so that the temperature of the fire rose higher.

*Shuuayo!!!* The flame inside the furnace until it flared out, but then it immediately became quiet as the fire started to turn bluish in color and slowly but surely the metal inside the container started to melt.

With patience Weng Lou continued to pump and eventually the metal melted completely. Weng Lou's hands did not stop pumping even though the metal had melted, he kept pumping for ten minutes more and he saw that the molten metal was now increasingly becoming liquid.

"Okay... show me your miracle..ayo. show me....." After a while, suddenly something happened to the very liquid metal.

*Fhushhh! Burrrs!* Sudden bubbles appear on the surface of the molten metal and pop out a bright purple dust.

"Come on..ayo....." The dust then began to fall back on the metal and turn the top of the metal into a bright purple.

After making sure that the entire top of the metal becomes purple, as it has been covered by dust, the, Weng Lou hurriedly took out the metal-filled container from within the fire and began to put it into the two sword prints he had prepared earlier.

*Blurr....* Sheat steam comes out when the metal liquid is inserted in the mold. After everything was put in, Weng Lou closed the mold tightly and silenced it a moment ago and immediately reopened the mold.

A smile adorned Weng Lou's face as he looked at the two extremely thin and still blunt twin swords inside the prints. The two swords were still reddish in color due to the temperature that was still very hot. Without the slightest fear, Weng Lou took the twin swords with his bare hands and instantly caused both palms to blister.

Weng Lou carried the two swords and put them in a basin filled with cold water.

"It's quite a pair, with my blood having seeped into the metal, making the sword will be able to be used to its full potential by me," how about Weng Lou who then immediately took one of those swords and started sharpening it.

The afternoon later.

Two dark blue twin swords with some purple stripes neatly displayed on the cloth on the table. The sword without the slightest trace of flaw was shimmering as it was exposed to the dim light from the nearby lantern. The two handles of the sword were made of a series of metals that formed like an intricate key at its limit. At both ends of the sword, there was a hole about the size of Weng Lou's pinkie.

Weng Lou calmly raised the two curved swords, then swung them in his hand.

*whus.....* the sound of the sharpness of the sword made Weng Lou smile with satisfaction, he started to make some basic moves before finally stopping.

"The balance is perfect, and there is no discomfort when grasping it" said Weng Lou with a fairly happy heart.

He then calmly connected the two handles of the sword, and miraculously the two swords became one. Weng Lou then pulled out a metal string from the sword barrier and connected it to each end of the sword to form a bow.

Weng Lou's hand took out a training arrow nearby and placed it on the bow created from the two twin swords.

The bowstring was pulled, and then released. The arrow shot quickly and hit Weng Lou's target which turned out to be a metal between the metal piles in the corner of the room. The arrow instantly made the metal dent due to the impact of its attack.

"The magnitude of this attack is quite satisfactory, even if it is just an ordinary bow but it can already cause such a big dent in the metal. Hehehe..I wonder what will happen to the sea beasts if they are hit by high quality arrows from this bow."

***

The next day in Rengu City.

Crowds gathered in front of Choi's father's workshop to see a ship that had shocked the entire city because of its appearance yesterday.

"Hey, get away a little! I want to see too!" A muscular man walked with a jostle through the crowd until he finally arrived at the very front and stared in amazement at a ship that looked almost entirely made of metal.

"It really doesn't have the slightest screen! Oh, my God, I must be dreaming!" The man shouted out loud like a madman. The people behind him then pulled his body so that they could also watch the steamer created by Weng Lou and the reaction from them was just like that muscular man.

Currently on board, Weng Lou was busy raising all the items and groceries into the ship. Du Zhe was seen diligently helping Weng Lou straddle some items that he was able to lift, while Choi's father was busy doing ship inspections, and Choi himself was 'supervising' several carpenters working under his father were transporting high-quality coal sacks.

"Hey! Don't touch that machine! The machine is very sensitive so be careful! Nah! Not there! Put it on his right! Good, don't forget to make sure the ties on each sack are well bonded!" Like a boss, Choi arranged for each worker and obviously made the brand all feel annoyed but did not dare to do anything because he saw the figure of a very large creature was asleep on the ship.

They can only work quickly to get out of there as soon as possible, of course, regardless of what Choi says. After half an hour later, Weng Lou and Du Zhe finished boarding all their luggage onto the ship and helped Choi's father inspect the ship.

All sorts of preparations were completed after the sack containing the last coal on board and the carpenters who are currently in the workshop Choi's father took to lower the ship with the help of a series of pulleys.

*plash.....* The steamer soon reaches the water surface and floats well. The chains attached at both ends of the ship were released and pulled by the people who were on top of the workshop.

In the large chain she was pulling, Choi and her father held tightly to the chain and began to leave the ship. The two of them did not come with Weng Lou away. Choi's father felt that his condition was not possible to join the cruise with Weng Lou. He was happy because he was still alive to be able to witness the birth of the world's first steamer and even help in the manufacturing process.

On the other hand, Choi actually really wants to join Weng Lou, but he is aware of the age of his father who will not be long. He did not want to leave his sickly father while he went out to have fun.

"One day I will create my own ship and go on a journey! It's so good to know you, Weng Lou!" Choi who was hanging on top of the chain waved his hand at Weng Lou.

Weng Lou laughed softly at his words, according to Weng Lou, Choi would be able to do it, can be seen from the madness in his eyes. He gave everyone a farewell, and then told Du Zhe to start the engine.

With Weng Lou as the captain of the ship, Du Zhe who became the one in charge of fueling, and the Black Ape Fighters who would become their combat weapons in case of an attack. Weng Lou had chosen a few others to join him on his voyage. However he did not recruit them as members of his group, these people he chose were those who intended to go to the Ryuan Empire for adventure.

Of course these were Martial Practitioners and not ordinary humans. According to Weng Lou bringing ordinary humans on his journey this time, it was the same as bringing them to death.

Du Zhe himself actually had Weng Lou wanted to leave on Gui Island and train under the guidance of Hong Mugui, but he removed the idea from his head because he could still see Hong Mugui's hatred for him. No one knows what Mugui might have done to the student if Weng Lou had left him alone.

"Everything! Get ready in your positions, we're leaving!" With the words of Weng Lou, their steamship immediately sailed away and left their previous location quickly.

Outside Rengu City, the steamer Weng Lou who had just stepped out from under the city was immediately greeted with all sorts of farewell calls. They were happy to witness the steamship that had been made by Weng Lou's group. Although actually they do not really recognize the figure of Weng Lou.

On top of a building in Rengu City, Hong Mugui stared at the steamship Weng Lou and the others were riding with a gloomy look in his eyes. He immediately disappeared from his place and then reappeared on the city bridge. He calmly stepped away from the city, but before long a group of people immediately confronted him just as he was about to reach the end of the bridge.

"Hong Mugui....after causing all sorts of things for bringing two monstrous monsters to Gui Island and blackmailing all of us, do you intend to escape from us?" A woman who was no stranger in Mugui's eyes spoke in front of the group.

The woman was a Martial Practitioner in the early stage 6 Soul Cleansing realm that Weng Lou had defeated when he became the ruler of the Huwa Islands. Because of the power difference that is not far from Hong Mugui, he and his group did not escape the blackmail action carried out by Hong Mugui.

More than half of their wealth had been squeezed out by him using the name Weng Lou as a shield and the source of fear of all Martial Practitioners in the Huwa Islands.

"escaped? Hahaha...funny once....who do you think will escape, huh?!"

Right when hearing Hong Mugui's remark, about ten people with strength in the 1st stage of the Soul Cleansing realm appeared out from under the bridge. At the same time, the aura from the Martial Practitioner in the 6th stage of the Soul Cleansing realm came out from Hong Mugui's body and made the people there choke on his breath except for the woman who had previously spoken to him.

"You old fuckers who only know how to hide to strengthen themselves, I'll kill you today!"
