Summary

The chapter discusses the art of weapon forging, emphasizing its significance among cultivators and the quest for celestial weapons, rumored to be incredibly powerful artifacts from the celestial realm. While powerful weapon smiths strive to create heavenly-grade items, the legendary Divine Record of Weapon Forging is said to be the key to crafting celestial weapons, though its existence remains unproven. Gu Xiu, a seasoned weapon forger, discovers this divine record and realizes that his previous knowledge was merely superficial. The chapter outlines the three main processes of weapon forging: Fusion Awakening, Fusion, and Awakening, highlighting the skills and understanding required at each stage. As Gu Xiu inscribes the divine manual, he gains insights into a different forging path and sees a chance to restore the Shadow Sword, a weapon he has long wished to repair. The chapter concludes with Gu Xiu and others preparing to enter the Rainfall Valley, which is filled with dangers, including aggressive Rain Spirits. Tensions rise as they encounter a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators who threaten them, but Gu Xiu reassures his companions. As they enter the valley, a foreboding prophecy about the cessation of rain and the emergence of a destructive black wind is hinted at, suggesting impending doom.
