I Open Treasure Chests in the Apocalypse

When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 455 Specialization is Key

After careful consideration, Jiang Yuan decided to abandon the identification of the stele, and after not using the Heavenly Eye, no more beams of light came out from the stele in front of him.

"I really don't like the feeling of being completely in the dark!" Jiang Yuan felt something was missing and his heart felt empty when he didn't use his Heavenly Eye for identification.

However, it's definitely not possible to use the Heavenly Eye in its current state, otherwise the dissipated energy would trigger another attack from the stone tablet, which would be troublesome.

"This huge stone tablet must be the artifact tablet that Shi Xuyao ​​mentioned!"

Jiang Yuan walked around the artifact tablet. Without the help of the Heavenly Eye, he could only observe the artifact tablet by his own ability.

What does this symbol mean?

Having learned from past mistakes, he did not recklessly touch the monument.

He took a few steps back and began to observe the inscription as a whole. When he was three meters back, he saw that the symbols that were connected together were changing, just like a randomly assembled jigsaw puzzle.

"This is the seventeenth dwarven script among the three thousand languages!" Jiang Yuan was shocked. The reason he knew the answer was entirely due to the inheritance of the Sun and Moon Saint King.

There's a reason why the Sun and Moon Saint King is called the First Holy Spirit below the gods. It's not just because of his great strength, but also because he has mastered a vast amount of other knowledge.

Unable to become a god and stuck at the invincible holy spirit level, he could only continuously strengthen other aspects of his power to break through this shackle of godhood, which also led to him possessing many inheritances.

Light-elemental blacksmiths and enchanters, and dark-elemental array masters and poison controllers—these are all secondary professions that Sun and Moon Saint Lord has dabbled in. Although he is not an expert in any of them, he has achieved considerable success in almost all of them.

However, because the inheritance was divided into two, the dark-type secondary professions mastered by the Sun and Moon Saint Lord were all in Bu Yao's hands. Otherwise, he would have liked to learn the formation master, since it complements the weapon forger and would greatly enhance the weapon forging if mastered.

Aside from these, the Sun and Moon Saint King also possessed a vast amount of the Three Thousand Common Languages, making him a linguistic genius. He could even speak a very small number of the less common languages ​​among the Three Thousand Common Languages. One can imagine how long this invincible saint king had been stuck on the threshold of becoming a god.

"Damn it!"

Although Jiang Yuan knew that the inscription was in dwarven script, he didn't know it at all. Although the Sun and Moon Saint King mastered the three thousand languages, due to the complicated nature of the inheritance, the Saint Coffin simply could not bear such a massive amount of inheritance, and only briefly mentioned the classification of the three thousand languages.

"That's not right. None of the people in Yanshan Village understand the dwarven language, and they can't understand the inheritance either, yet they have so many blacksmiths!" Jiang Yuan realized, after all, it was a fact that Yanshan Village had twelve blacksmiths.

"It seems that whether you understand it or not doesn't matter; there must be another way to receive the inheritance!"

Jiang Yuan reached out his hand, intending to pass on the knowledge using the mindset of an ordinary person—the simplest form of contact.

When his fingers touched the inscription, a thought entered his mind, and he realized that he had not done anything wrong.

The Dwarven Stele records the complete inheritance of three genius dwarves, but to obtain the most crucial inheritance, one must pass the tests set by these three dwarven predecessors.

"Three top-tier blacksmithing lineages!" Jiang Yuan was no longer calm. Although Sun Moon Saint Lord had remarkable blacksmithing skills, there was still a considerable gap between him and the top blacksmiths. One was an amateur and the other a professional; the difference was obvious.

The information transmitted from the artifact tablets is increasing, including information about the three genius weapon-forging masters of the dwarf race.

The Heavenly-ranked weapon forger, known for his offensive prowess, dedicates his life to forging weapons of slaughter.

The Earth-ranked blacksmith, named Yu, dedicated his life to forging defensive weapons.

The third person is a weapon forger named after the concept of creation. He never forges weapons or crafts anything; he only refines souls, and only the souls of weapons!

"It's true that everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, but you guys are way too specialized!"

Jiang Yuan was speechless when he received the three inheritances. He had never seen such a willful blacksmith. One only made weapons, another only made armor, and the last one was even more special, only forging the soul of weapons!

Jiang Yuan could only describe this kind of inheritance in two words!

capricious!

"To obtain the three inheritances, you must complete the following tests."

"A Heavenly-level weapon forger must forge a Void Spirit Realm weapon within one month of acquiring the basic inheritance."

"Earth-level blacksmiths, within one month of obtaining the basic inheritance, can forge Void Spirit Realm armor."

"Human-character weapon forgers must forge a Void Spirit Realm weapon spirit within one month of acquiring the basic inheritance."

"Hmm," Jiang Yuan felt utterly overwhelmed. Wasn't this asking people a lot of trouble? Forging something at the Void Spirit Realm within a month? You're practically asking for trouble!

Just as he was feeling frustrated, he caught a glimpse of the inscription at the bottom of the stele, and the previously illegible inscription was now flowing.

"Is this what basic inheritance is?"

Jiang Yuan focused his gaze and saw many independent inscriptions. He guessed that there were also differences in strength among the basic inheritances. After all, this was a stele, and even if it could not obtain the inheritances of the three characters of Heaven, Earth and Man, it would still leave some basic inheritances for future generations.

Shi Xuyao's purpose in becoming his disciple was also very clear. Obviously, his goal was different from that of the others in Yanshan Village. He was pursuing the most advanced forging inheritance, namely the three kinds of Heaven, Earth and Man. However, with his own forging ability, it was impossible for him to reach the level required by the three inheritances within a month. Therefore, after witnessing Jiang Yuan's forging, he saw hope.

As for whether the three great inheritances exist, Jiang Yuan felt there was no need to doubt it. Needless to say, the items that fell from the Golden Gate were all top-tier items, so it was not surprising that they possessed all sorts of inheritances.

"That's interesting!"

Jiang Yuan sat down cross-legged in front of the artifact tablet. He wanted to see how strong the basic inheritance of this weapon-forging master was, that he could cultivate twelve weapon-forging masters in Yanshan Village in such a short time.

Since energy cannot be used, the only way to obtain basic inheritance is through touch.

The first inscription he chose was the bottom one and the shortest. When he touched the inscription, his consciousness was drawn into a void.

"Interesting, so this is how it's passed down!"

Although his consciousness was taken into the void, it did not prevent him from thinking independently. Such a method of inheritance is quite rare, which shows what a precious treasure the artifact tablet is.

The characters in the void kept rearranging and changing, and finally each character transformed into a human figure. The figure looked short and stocky, and was obviously not human. However, the artifact tablet had previously stated that it was a forging legacy left by the dwarves, so it was obvious who this figure was.

The sight of four figures swinging hammers at the same time was dazzling, but Jiang Yuan was already a blacksmith and knew the forging techniques very well, so the four figures were not a difficult task for him.

"Too easy!"

With a thought, Jiang Yuan's consciousness, which was in the void, materialized into a human form, and then swung his hammer along with the four dwarf figures.

With a crack, the void shattered, and Jiang Yuan's consciousness was ejected. The inscription he had touched transformed into a scroll floating in his palm.
