Chapter 1231 Untitled

Prime Emperor Taixu frowned and said with a troubled expression, "But the Space-Time Mirror is a divine object that only exists in legends. No one knows if it really exists or not. If it exists, where is it now?"

Space-Time Mirror?

A thought flashed across Sheng Xiao's mind. Back then, Divine Master Mo Jing used his Divine Master skeleton to forge a Space-Time Mirror. However, because he wasn't a professional refiner, he failed in the forging process and it became a Reincarnation Mirror of endless reincarnation.

"If the Space-Time Mirror you're talking about is a mirror made of the bones of a Divine Master, then… I happen to have one here." Sheng Xiao's right hand brushed across his interspatial ring and an ancient mirror appeared in his hand.

The mirror looked dim, but Prime Emperor Taixu could sense spiritual energy fluctuations that were even stronger than his mentor's when he was alive.

Prime Emperor Taixu could tell at a glance that this was indeed a mirror made of the bones of a Divine Master.

He was shocked and asked Sheng Xiao, "Why do you have this?"

Sheng Xiao said, "It's serendipity."

What was serendipity?

Secrets were called serendipity.

"However, the Space-Time Mirror in my hand is a half-finished product, so it needs to be refined again to succeed." Sheng Xiao asked Prime Emperor Taixu, "Who is the most powerful refiner in the Cang Lang Continent?"

Professor Cheng quickly said, "Zhan Wuya's father, Master Duan Fen, is the only refiner who can refine a peak level 9 Spirit Tool." Then, he glanced at Sheng Xiao and said, "The Cherry Blossom Warhammer that Zhan Wuya gave Zhan Jianxue was made by Duan Fen's eldest disciple."

Zhan Wuya's family was actually a blacksmith family?

If even Master Duan Fen's eldest disciple could refine a grade nine Spirit Tool, Master Duan Fen's weapon refinement techniques must be even better.

Sheng Xiao nodded. "Then, Professor Cheng, please bring me to see Zhan Wuya's father."

"No problem." Professor Cheng asked Prime Emperor Taixu for instructions. "Dean, I'll call Zhan Wuya over. It'll be better if he brings Sheng Xiao and me to the Duan family." Master Duan Fen's refining skills were superb, but he wouldn't help others refine weapons that easily. With Zhan Wuya around, it would be easier to convince him to agree.

Prime Emperor Taixu felt that Professor Cheng's considerations were more comprehensive, so he said, "Alright, bring Zhan Wuya along."

"Okay."

When Professor Cheng found Zhan Wuya and told him about Yu Huang, Zhan Wuya didn't agree immediately.

Sheng Xiao saw that Zhan Wuya was so resistant, so he asked Professor Cheng, "Is Zhan Wuya on bad terms with his father?"

Professor Cheng explained concisely, "Madam Duan felt that Zhan Wuya jinxed her eldest son to death, so she neglected Zhan Wuya and was depressed all day long. In order to make her happy, Master Duan Fen sent Zhan Wuya to the War God Clan when he was ten years old."

Sheng Xiao understood what was going on.

When Duan Fen sent Zhan Wuya to the War God Clan, he was actually abandoning this child.

No wonder Zhan Wuya was so conflicted and hesitant when he heard that they were going to see Duan Fen.

When Sheng Xiao saw that Zhan Wuya was in a difficult position, he said, "It's okay if you don't want to go. Professor Cheng will accompany me. Master Duan Fen probably won't reject me on account of Cang Lang Academy."

Zhan Wuya glanced at Sheng Xiao.

When he thought of the stupid things Zhan Jianxue had done to Yu Huang, he felt guilty. "Forget it, let me bring you guys there."

Master Duan Fen had not refined a spirit weapon for more than ten years, so even if Professor Cheng brought Sheng Xiao to him for help, that person might not agree.

He had to go.

"Thank you."

The Duan family lived in Cang Lang City, so they arrived at the Duan family's home in the evening.

As the number one weapon refinement master of the Cang Lang Continent, Duan Fen lived in a home that was built into a sacred and towering palace.

When Zhan Wuya brought Sheng Xiao and Professor Cheng back to the Duan family, it shocked the entire family.

"Grand Master!" The Duan family's steward ran into the weapon refinement room and pushed the door open to interrupt Duan Fen's meditation. "Grand Master! Second Young Master is back!"

When he heard the butler say that Wuya was back, Duan Fen thought that he had misheard him.

Seeing the disbelief on the master's face, the butler said with both sorrow and joy, "Master, Second Young Master Wuya is back!"

Duan Fen was surprised and delighted when he heard this.

Ever since he sent Wuya to the War God Clan, that child had never returned to the Duan Clan, as if he had completely severed ties with the clan.

In the past thirty years, this was the first time Zhan Wuya had taken the initiative to see him.

Duan Fen was overjoyed. He hurriedly stood up and patted the hem of his coat before anxiously leaving the weapon refinement room and rushing towards the guest building.

As soon as he rushed into the living room and saw the handsome young man standing by the window with his back facing him, Duan Fen instantly burst into tears. "Wuya…" Afraid that he was dreaming, Duan Fen didn't even dare to raise his voice, for fear that he would disturb him and make him disappear.

Zhan Wuya had been looking out the window. He had clearly heard Duan Fen's call, but he had no intention of turning around.

Duan Fen felt uneasy and ashamed.

At this moment, Zhan Wuya turned around and bowed to Duan Fen as he said, "Greetings, President Duan." From the day Duan Fen sent Zhan Wuya to the Battle God Clan to make his wife happy, Zhan Wuya no longer had anything to do with the Duan Clan.

When Duan Fen heard his second son call him President Duan, his face instantly turned pale.

However, Duan Fen was too ashamed to ask Zhan Wuya to call him father.

After all, he was the one who took the initiative to give the child away.

He was already lucky that the child came back to see him.

Duan Fen suppressed the anguish in his heart and asked Zhan Wuya, "Why are you back today? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Zhan Wuya didn't want to stay in the Duan family's home for long, so he told Duan Fen about Sheng Xiao's difficulties in a few words. When Duan Fen found out that Sheng Xiao had a Reincarnation Mirror refined from the bones of a Divine Master, he was shocked.

The skeleton of a Divine Master was a legendary holy object.

Since Sheng Xiao had such a treasure, even if Zhan Wuya didn't beg him personally, he wouldn't be able to resist the temptation and would definitely agree. Since Zhan Wuya was here, Duan Fen couldn't reject him all the more.

"Sheng Xiao, of course I'm willing to help you. It's just that my capabilities are limited, so I'm not sure if I can successfully repair the Space-Time Mirror, but I'll try my best."

"Thank you."

After Sheng Xiao handed the Space-Time Mirror to Duan Fen, Duan Fen looked at Zhan Wuya reluctantly before taking the Reincarnation Mirror to his exclusive refining room.

They waited for more than half a day.

Duan Fen looked tired, so his assistant helped him out of the refining room. The other assistant was holding a tray, which a white mirror on it. As Duan Fen leaned against the assistant with a pale face, he said to Sheng Xiao weakly, "Sheng Xiao, the Space-Time Mirror has been successfully repaired. Bring it back to the academy to save her."

When Sheng Xiao saw that Duan Fen wasn't in a good state, he asked, "Why is Master Duan Fen so weak?"

The assistant explained, "The reason why this Space-Time Mirror wasn't successfully refined earlier was that it was missing a Prime Master bone. The Master intercepted a Prime Master bone from his ribs and successfully repaired the Space-Time Mirror."

Zhan Wuya and Sheng Xiao looked down at Duan Fen's abdomen.

Only then did they notice that the clothes on Duan Fen's abdomen were dyed red with blood. It was only because he was wearing a black shirt that they were unable to notice immediately.

Sheng Xiao knew that Duan Fen was doing all of this to mend his relationship with Zhan Wuya.

But Sheng Xiao was still moved.

Sheng Xiao knelt down in front of Duan Fen. "I will remember your kindness today. If you have any request in the future, I will not reject it!"

Duan Fen said weakly, "You're Wuya's friend, so I'm very willing to help you guys. Take it away."

Sheng Xiao took the mirror and put it into his interspatial ring.

With that, Zhan Wuya was about to leave with Sheng Xiao and the others.

Duan Fen shouted hoarsely, "Wuya!"

Zhan Wuya stopped.

Duan Fen said, "Wuya, your mother has been dead for ten years. Before she died, she cried to me while saying that she had let you down and that she had done something wrong. She asked me to apologize to you."

The corners of Zhan Wuya's lips curled up slightly as he sneered and said, "Master Duan Fen, I will remember your kindness today and will definitely repay it in the future. As for your wife's apology…" Zhan Wuya lowered his eyes and looked at the winding path paved with marble in the courtyard outside the living room.

At ten years old, he was sent out of this home by Duan Fen while holding his hand and stepping on those stone slabs.

Zhan Wuya pursed his lips and hid the sorrow in his eyes as he said, "I'm an orphan, so I can't afford your wife's apology." With that, Zhan Wuya walked out of the Duan family's home first.

Sheng Xiao frowned and followed him out.

Professor Cheng shook his head at Duan Fen helplessly as he said, "Master Duan Fen, that child has resentment in his heart, but don't blame him." With that, he chased after them.

As Duan Fen looked at the figure that walked further and further away and became smaller and smaller, he felt as if he had seen the child from thirty years ago again.

He was the one who personally held his hand as he chased him out of the house.

He had no right to beg him to come back.
