# Chapter 2368: Forging the Sword Together
Wuming's face was ashen. He had never crossed swords with Tian Ruojian before; this was their first confrontation. Tian Ruojian had only struck once, and it was as if he had become the legendary old man Jia, wielding the Sword of Jia—a single sword stroke that twisted time itself, killing with just one blow.
Facing such an opponent was terrifying. This was no longer a question of victory or defeat, but a matter of life and death. If his power had been just a little weaker just now, if he had failed to break through that artistic conception, that sword strike would not have pierced his chest but his brow instead, directly obliterating his life.
"Tian Ruojian, are you certain you want to protect Lin Feng?" Wuming said coldly. He was a Great Accomplishment Saint King of the Void Divine Temple. It wasn't just his temple that wanted Lin Feng's life, but other temples as well. This person, who was most likely a taboo figure, absolutely had to be killed. They could not allow Lin Feng to escape from under their noses again.
"At least here, before this senior, anyone who wants to make a move must first ask my sword," Tian Ruojian said, his gaze sharp. His hand gripped his sword tightly, as if with the sword in hand, no one could break through this barrier of his. To kill Lin Feng was impossible.
"Young one, come with me. Don't mind them," the Weapon Forger said to Lin Feng again. Tian Ruojian looked at Lin Feng and smiled slightly. "Senior is focused on forging a sword. This is an opportunity for you. Go ahead. Leave this place to me."
"Mm." Lin Feng nodded slightly, then looked at Zhetian and said, "I entrust my dog to you as well, senior."
"Don't worry. If the temples are so shameless as to touch your family, I won't hesitate to go on a killing spree," Tian Ruojian replied. Lin Feng stepped forward and followed the Weapon Forger away.
Seeing Lin Feng following, the Weapon Forger turned and led the way ahead. Before long, they arrived at a somewhat illusory, ethereal space. It was very quiet here, as if only the two of them existed.
The Weapon Forger moved his mind, and instantly, endless sealing chains suspended the sword in the void above. He said to Lin Feng, "Just now, I had everyone use their power to suppress the sword's boundless will. But it seems your power is completely different from everyone else's. You weren't trying to suppress the power inside, but rather attempting to merge with and control it. Your power is very special. If I give you the chance, can you fully control the sword's will and power?"
"Senior, my power does indeed have a dominating quality. However, my own power is not yet strong enough. The wills and powers within the sword vary in strength. I can control the weaker ones, but the stronger ones are very difficult for me to master. This is related to the strength of my own power," Lin Feng said.
After hearing Lin Feng's words, the Weapon Forger nodded slightly. "I sensed that too. Compared to many of those outside, your power still has a gap. There's no way you can control all the sword's power. After all, some of the sword's power is so strong it even surprises me. I have an idea. Since the sword's power and will come in many types, if you slowly master them, can you separate them into several major categories? For example, merge some powers with the will of speed together to create extreme speed; combine powers that control the soul together to form a terrifying soul attack."
"What a crazy idea!" Lin Feng's expression solidified as he looked at the Weapon Forger's aged face. This guy was truly a forging maniac. He actually wanted a single sword to contain multiple different types of attack power, allowing for selective attacks.
Of course, the Weapon Forger's idea stemmed from the saint skeletons. Given the Weapon Forger's status, his forging ability was beyond question, and the other forging materials he controlled were also beyond doubt. The sword's durability was nothing to worry about. So, after obtaining these materials, he decided to forge the sword publicly, wanting to see if any of the powerful experts had power that could help him forge the sword. In the end, he found that Lin Feng's power was very suitable. The only pity was that Lin Feng's power was a bit weak, not strong enough.
The Weapon Forger wanted to create a weapon that broke through previous limitations.
"I want to try," Lin Feng said. The Weapon Forger nodded slightly. "Alright, give it a try."
Lin Feng's body slowly floated up, arriving before the sword. Immediately, a terrifying power emanated—his dominating power and his world power. He wanted to do as he pleased, to control those powers. First, he needed to turn the space inside the sword into his world, where he controlled the Heavenly Dao.
This power permeated into the sword. The Weapon Forger's expression suddenly flashed with sharpness as he looked at Lin Feng. His power had been driven out. He had intended to help Lin Feng suppress it, but he hadn't expected Lin Feng to drive him out. However, he was quite satisfied with this. If Lin Feng weren't strong enough, he would have been disappointed instead. His entire life had been dedicated to forging. It didn't matter who used the weapons he forged, as long as he could accomplish it. And with his strength, would he lack Sacred King weapons for his own use?
Lin Feng turned the sword world into his own world. He could carefully distinguish the characteristics of the power within it.
"Wind Will."
"That's the Will of Speed, and also the Will of Light." Lin Feng quietly sensed them. Those wills were the powers the saint corpses had possessed before death. After death, they had become indestructible wills, all extremely powerful, as if they had lives of their own.
"If I can merge all these wills of the same attribute into my Dominating Will and imbue them into the sword, I will have fulfilled the Weapon Forger's requirement," Lin Feng thought. Then, his terrifying dominating power surged toward those wills with the attribute of speed, trying to assimilate them and merge them into his Dominating Will.
However, Lin Feng encountered extremely strong resistance. Those were independent wills. Why would they be willing to merge and submit? They were all independent entities.
"Since you've entered my world, you should be dominated by me." Lin Feng's will was incredibly powerful, as if a terrifying Heavenly Dao force enveloped those independent wills, then tried to devour them and merge them into his Dominating Will.
"I can do it." Lin Feng was delighted. He had succeeded. Although those wills wanted to resist, relying on the might of his dominating Heavenly Dao, he could make some wills submit and merge into his dominating power. However, some stronger wills he still couldn't control, even in his own world. This seemed to confirm that if someone too powerful entered his world, he still couldn't deal with them. When power reached a certain level, it could possess the power to break through realms.
Lin Feng merged some will power, then withdrew his power from the sword, leaving only a dominating power with a terrifying speed artistic conception inside.
"Senior, take a look," Lin Feng said to the Weapon Forger.
The Weapon Forger nodded slightly, then his will power invaded the sword. Soon, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. "Indeed, they've merged together. And it's also accompanied by a unique will power of yours that others can't control. However, this means that when this sword is forged in the future, it can only be yours. Only then can you freely use the power inside. Otherwise, it would be an incomplete sword."
Lin Feng chuckled awkwardly. "I can only do this much. Even if you don't give the sword to me, senior, I won't have any objections. I'm still willing to cooperate with you in forging the sword."
"You're overthinking it. I only care about how powerful the sword is, not who owns it. Otherwise, weapons like the Imperial Relic and the Sword of Jia wouldn't have been given away," the Weapon Forger said indifferently. "If you're suitable to use it, then this sword naturally belongs to you."
"Lin Feng thanks you, senior." Lin Feng didn't decline this time. He knew that the Weapon Forger truly didn't care. This forging maniac only cared about the sword he forged.
"But there's still a problem. Since the wills you can control are limited, the sword we forge won't be too powerful at first. So, let it grow stronger as your strength increases. We'll forge a sword together that can continuously evolve." The Weapon Forger looked at Lin Feng, his gaze sharp. After seeing Lin Feng's ability, he had already decided what kind of sword to forge.
"I'll follow your decision, senior." Lin Feng was also slightly excited. His power, combined with the Weapon Forger's forging ability, would create a sword that could evolve. He was very much looking forward to the birth of such a sword.
"Then for these next few days, you'll stay here and forge the sword with me," the Weapon Forger said to Lin Feng. Lin Feng nodded slightly.
Outside, days passed one by one, but the people outside hadn't left. For them, a few days wasn't even worth mentioning as time. Their lives had experienced too many years. Right now, they were very curious about why the Weapon Forger had taken Lin Feng with him. Was he going to forge a sword for Lin Feng?
Of course, for the people of the temples, they had more important things to do—kill Lin Feng. So, instead of decreasing, the number of people outside gradually increased, as other powerful temple figures had arrived!
