Zhao Hai asked, “Failure? Why would a failure be in the treasury?”
Tao Wang smiled bitterly and said, “Although it is a failure, the person who made it is very famous . He is the most renowned refiner in the Machine Field of all time, Leng Wuyeng . ”
Upon hearing the name Leng Wuyeng, Zhao Hai was shocked . Leng Wuyeng was born 35 thousand years ago . He wasn’t an ascender and was a native of the Machine Field . He died 32 thousand years ago, living up to three thousand years old!
Naturally, Leng Wuyeng wasn’t famous because of his longevity . Instead, he was known for his refining ability as well as his contribution to Magic Theory . Leng Wuyeng was a natural genius . He also had a knack for Magic Theory . During his time, the Machine Field still wasn’t an independent existence . Instead it was a territory managed by the Cultivation Realm . It was a piece of wasteland where people that cannot cultivate gather . They could only study lower realm magic and battle qi . Because of this, they had no way to contend against those who use cultivation methods .
Leng Wuyeng was born to an ordinary Mage family . Even if both of his parents were Mages, their status was very low . Their family was pretty much living in hardship .
Because of his background, Leng Wuyeng swore that he would change the status of Mages in the World of Cultivation . He diligently studied Magic while also researching magic formations . During his time, runes were still unknown and the system of creating formations had yet to be made .
Later on, because of his talent, Leng Wuyeng joined a sect called Formation Gate and became a disciple . It was then that he started being in contact with true formations of the Cultivation Realm .

The formation system of the Cultivation Realm was a complete one . Each formation were comprised of runes . This made the formation easier to arrange and even more powerful .
After being introduced to this, Leng Wuyeng started to deconstruct magic formations . Then he used his results to systemize runes . His research was specially aimed towards runes .
When Leng Wuyeng reached the age of 2000, Magic Theory was beginning to take shape . And once Magic Theory was announced to the Machine Field, the entire realm seethed with excitement .
Although Magic Theory was unable to contend with cultivation methods, it was still a huge improvement for Mages . If a Mage was able to use a ten thousand or ten million-layer formations, then they would surely be able to contend with the top experts in the World of Cultivation .
This method didn’t only cause an uproar in the Machine Field . The effects of its creation rippled throughout the six realms . Afraid of losing control over the Machine Field, the Cultivation Realm began suppressing the Mages .
Having just studied Magic Theory, the Mages naturally couldn’t match the cultivators . They were defeated again and again . It didn’t take long before they were driven into a corner .
Leng Wuyeng didn’t expect this outcome since he was so focused on improving the strength of the Mages . He didn’t think that he would bring forth a disaster to his people . In the end, he didn’t hesitate to close up for eight years, resulting in magic formations that were now used inside mechs and battleships . And once the Machine Field began manufacturing mechs and battleships, they started their counterattack . After years of battle, the Machine Field was finally able to carve their own territory in the World of Cultivation . They were finally able to become the sixth realm in the World of Cultivation .

But Leng Wuyeng was still aware of the innate flaw between the Machine Field and the Cultivation Realm . The Machine Field didn’t have peak artifacts that major groups in the Cultivation Realm had . With these peak artifacts, a person’s power would equal the might of ten million . They were the true ultimate weapons .
And at the same time, as they were repelling the Cultivation Realm, Leng Wuyeng began to feel the end of his lifespan . Because of this, he used his remaining time to leave a treasure behind . This way, the Machine Field would have a peak artifact capable of resisting the Cultivation Realm .
Leng Wuyeng closed up once more for refining . He used a large number of treasures that he collected his entire life, as well as a powerful technique in order to condense them together and form this liquid sphere . But this sphere was still a half-finished product . This was because it missed the most important step, condensing the formation .
Leng Wuyeng’s refining technique was different from the Cultivation Realm’s . In the Cultivation Realm, the final step of refining was the attachment of an artifact spirit . Only with an artifact spirit would magic treasures display their most formidable might .
However Leng Wuyeng’s method didn’t have spirit attachment . Instead, it was a three-step method divided into smelting, tempering, and condensing formation . Moreover, Leng Wuyeng doesn’t engrave formations from the Cultivation Realm, instead he used those made with Magic Theory .
In the Cultivation Realm, the influence of the first formation was big . The reason for this was because the five elements promotes and restrain each other . Some artifacts only allow a few formations to be engraved on them . Even if the material was good, the most formations one could engrave was 1890 formations . Moreover, this was a number most Cultivators wouldn’t reach .
Leng Wuyeng’s weapon allowed the engraving of 129,600 formations . Moreover, this weapon can be augmented with additional materials . And every material added, one could carve an additional 1890 formations . It was absolutely formidable .
Unfortunately, Leng Wuyeng’s lifespan ran out just as tempering was finished . At this point, it was impossible to engrave it with formations .
And because it was an original artifact, it had special requirements . One needed to engrave the 129,600 formations in one go . If one fails to do this, then engraving would not succeed . Only after the 129,600 formations were finished could one add materials and another 1890 formations .
Leng Wuyeng decided to create the weapon because he thought that he could still engrave formations on it . Since his lifespan was nearing its end, he wanted to squeeze the last part of it in order to engrave the 129,600 formations . As long as he finished engraving this formation, then other formidable Mages would be able to add materials and engrave the succeeding formations . With this setup, the weapon would get stronger and stronger until it would surpass any weapon in the Cultivation Realm . By that time, the Machine Field would no longer be afraid of the Cultivation Realm .
Unfortunately, Leng Wuyeng underestimated the time needed to smelt the materials . When he died, he just barely managed to finish tempering the weapon . He didn’t have time left to engrave the formations .
After Leng Wuyeng, although the Cultivation Realm still accepted disciples from the Machine Field, nobody was able to reach his level . Therefore, Leng Wuyeng’s weapon was never finished . In the end, it can only be placed here .
Zhao Hai wasn’t strange to the name of Leng Wuyeng . Although Leng Wuyeng has been dead for countless years, his position was still irreplaceable in the Machine Field . It can be said that the Machine Field wouldn’t have become this powerful without him . According to legend, Leng Wuyeng can release 50 thousand-layer formations, and maybe even more . Mages from the present Machine Field would find it impossible to reach this level . Only a few could use 1 thousand-layer formations, not to say 50 thousand layers .
But as for Leng Wueyng refining a weapon, Zhao Hai was completely clueless . Now after hearing Tao Wang, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but be both shocked and happy .
He was shocked because Leng Wuyeng was actually a talent beyond comparison . By his own ability, he snatched the Machine Field from the hands of the Cultivation Realm . He single handedly gave the Machine Field its independence .
Zhao Hai was happy because Leng Wuyeng actually refined a weapon . Others might not find any use of it, but for Zhao Hai, this weapon was something that he must have .
Tao Wang stood beside the weapon and couldn’t help but sigh . He failed to see Zhao Hai’s eyes burning as they looked at the weapon . After some time, Tao Wang felt that something wasn’t right . Sensing that Zhao Hai was silent, Tao Wang turned and was shocked . Zhao Hai’s eyes were stubbornly stuck on the weapon made by Leng Wuyeng . Tao Wang was scared for a moment, Zhao Hai had the same look as someone who wanted something no matter what .
Tao Wang stared, then he quickly said, “Little Hai, don’t tell me you want this thing? It’s useless . Although its materials are top-ranked, you cannot use it with Magic Theory . It would be a waste if you have this, choose another one . ”
Zhao Hai turned his head to Tao Wang and said, “Big Brother Tao, can you give this thing to me? I want it . ”
Tao Wang sighed and said, “Little Hai, you know that even if this thing can’t be used, it is still a sentimental item . So even if I give it to you, you still wouldn’t be able to take it out . If others see it, then they will certainly grab it . Listen to Big Brother’s words, choose something else . ”
Zhao Hai firmly shook his head and said, “Big Brother Tao, I don’t want anything else other than this . I have a strong feeling in my heart that I must have it . Brother Tao, what do I need to do to get it?”
Tao Wang looked at Zhao Hai and couldn’t help but be moved . To be honest, from the establishment of the treasury up to today, there had been a lot of people who had seen this item, but not one of them had the same strong feeling like Zhao Hai . Tao Wang felt that he needed to think about Zhao Hai’s request even more .
Instinct was a strange and mysterious thing . Sometimes, you will have a strong feeling in obtaining something . This item might not be great to others, but when the right one gets it, it would be extremely useful for them . This magical feeling seems to be in Zhao Hai right now .
With this thought in mind, Tao Wang said, “Wait for a moment . ” Then after he said that, Tao Wang went to a nearby wall . The wall had a communication device on it . Tao Wang called Desbarres and told him about Zhao Hai’s request . Desbarres didn’t say anything other than to wait for him .
