With the formation added, the sword was completely finished. Zhou Fan turned around and threw the sword at the same wall at the same speed in a spot a foot away from the other two.
This time, when the sword hit, the tip went through the cave wall completely. It continued forward until half of the sword's body was lodged in the wall.
It stayed like that, leaving the sword as a permanent ornament on the wall. Zhou Fan felt that the result was natural and didn't stop for a moment before he continued forging.
In three months, Zhou Fan mastered 3rd rank forging.
In a year, he mastered 4th rank forging.
In five years, he mastered 5th rank forging.
In twenty years, he mastered 6th rank forging.
In a hundred years, he mastered 7th rank forging.
In five hundred years, he mastered 8th rank forging.
After a long five thousand years, Zhou Fan mastered 9th rank forging.
All that remained between him and his return to cultivation was the mastery of tenth rank forging.
Like he had for the past thousands of years, Zhou Fan increased the heat of the fire and the coolness of the water.
He took out an ore and manually strengthened it to the god realm. He then put in the flame and let it burn. Unlike before, the flame took a while to heat up the ore to a good level.
After waiting for a while, the ore finally heated up. Zhou Fan took it out of the stub with his Qi and beat on it. The mending of the ore took a while longer than before as well, but he soon had a good sword shaped ore.
Next, Zhou Fan dipped it in the water. After an entire day, the sword cooled down. Zhou Fan picked it up and put some formations on it. This time, he added a lightning elemental formation, along with the usual strengthening and sharpening formations.
Once he was done, he looked at the sword. Now, he was truly proud with the results. He wasn't dumb enough to throw the sword at the wall since it would very likely destroy the entire planet, and instead put it in his spatial ring.
He had stopped throwing the sword at the wall once they reached the lesser dao creation realm. Looking behind him, there was still a long tunnel that went down millions of miles left behind from his casual throw of the space shattering realm sword.
Zhou Fan turned back around and began to practice with god realm forging.
In a million years, Zhou Fan mastered god realm forging. Realizing that he was finally done, he let out a breath of relief.
While he wasn't upset that he had spent so much time mastering the arts, it got repetitive after a while. It was also physically and mentally demanding.
Now that he was done, he felt like he was free. Before he did anything else, he decided to take a week long vacation. It wasn't that he was lazy, but that he had too much free time regardless.
Zhou Fan's first thought was to go to the same river he had been to before, but he realized that it had been overrun by plants and no longer existed.
Zhou Fan walked over to the teleportation array and decided to travel around and try to find something good to do.
When he teleported through the array, he appeared under a large pile of plants. Zhou Fan quickly cut them with some sword Qi and flew up. Looking around, he felt he had underestimated the difficulty of finding something relaxing to do.
The entire world was completely covered with plants. Even the mountain seemed like a small hill of plants. There were no rivers, no oceans, no cliffs, just plants.
Zhou Fan was so stunned that he decided to temporarily halt his idea of finding a relaxing activity and extended his divine sense to cover the entire planet.
Besides the addition of many more plants and the removal of many terrains, everything seemed similar to the time before he started forging. The living plants were still there, and they seemed to be thriving in the new environment.
Zhou Fan could tell that the planet would be completely fine and safe without his life rain from the simple sweep of his divine sense.
Everything had evolved to be able to survive without water. It seemed that Zhou Fan's time on the planet was completely over since there was nothing to do but exist among plants.
Before he left, however, there were a couple things he wanted to do. One, activate all the arrays that he had placed around the world long ago. Although there were now many plants, the arrays had been created solely with Qi. In other words, they were like an intangible existence that wouldn't decay for millions of years.
Zhou Fan covered the entire world with his divine sense once again. This time, he covered the living plants and their homes with Qi before he inputted Qi into every single array on the giant planet.
Many sounds suddenly sounded out and many colors dyed the planet. There were explosions, rips, and humming sounds that covered everything.
Zhou Fan saw one section of the planet get hit by a god realm explosion array, only for it to be stopped by a god realm protection array.
On another side, he saw a giant tree bloom to the sky and rain down life Qi. Next to it, a dry and dead tree imitated it, only releasing death Qi.
On other sides, there were collisions of light and darkness, water and fire, healing and destroying, creation and destruction, soul and body, and many other types of opposites colliding.
As everything calmed down, Zhou Fan saw that the planet had suffered gravely. Luckily, he had protected the living plants and their homes from everything.
Zhou Fan waved his hand, and the plant world seemed to patch itself up, having only less plants covering the world.
Such an act was fairly simple to Zhou Fan with his current strength and the fact that the planet was under his mortal dao.
The next thing he needed to do before leaving was upload the information on the arts to his mortal dao.
