On the first day that I forged, I learned how to forge basic things like a sphere, small tools, and small weapons. On the second day, I could already do large tools and different kind of weapons, I pa.s.sed the third day until the seventh day meditating, a.n.a.lyzing everything that I forged and the failures, trying to get an understanding towards the Forging Essence, only after I learn it, I"ll be able to learn the so-called "10 Mortal Hammers".At the end of the first week, I still couldn"t understand the Forging Essence and I felt really confused but then I remembered the sentence [There isn"t a true essence towards Forging, each blacksmith has his understanding; some believe it is just the act of hitting the hammer on the material and shaping it in something while others believe in something different].
I started to get an idea of what it was, on the second week, I trained my control over fire to remove all of the material impurity and on the half of the second week, I was able to completely remove the impurities, at the end of the second week, I finally understood what my Forging Essence is.
It was as if I was enlightened at that time, my brain started to think faster as I started to think what it is before I understood; I"m the Forging Essence, the Forging Technique itself it"s me, my Essence will be the Origin of everything;
Instantly, my realm skyrocket from Spiritual Knowledge 1-layer Peak to Spiritual Knowledge 4-layer, in fact, I was able to advance quickly like that before but I suppressed, the first three layers of this realm are basically to improve your element control, of course, you still have to absorb the Spiritual Energy, however, you can"t break through if your control isn"t improved.
While enlightened, my body started to move on its own as I took the hammer and started heating the material with precise and fine control, then, I started hitting the hammer on the material, that started to take shape, above the hammer, ten small, white and spiritual hammers appeared as an aura that seemed to be the Origin of everything was released.
A deafening sound was heard each time the "Ten Mortal Hammers" descended to hit the material, that slowly took shape of a black-colored sword that had golden-colored lines intersecting with each other, giving a beautiful design.
The last step came as the fiery golden-colored Flame slowly started to change as the temperature fell, the flame slowly became golden-silverish-colored as an extremely cold aura was released from it, cooling down the material heat before the last step ended, the final product was made!
One week pa.s.sed with me meditating, a.n.a.lyzing the beautiful sword that I made and I was still shocked by what I did: A Third Grade Weapon! I"m still amazed, of course, making another Third Grade one will be impossible and the possibility of making a Second Grade one won"t be that hard, however, I"m now considered a First Grade Mortal Blacksmith.
This is what I learned after reading more of the book, the art of Forging is divided into Mortal Blacksmith (1st Grade to 9th Grade); Earth Blacksmith (1st Grade to 9th Grade) and Celestial Blacksmith (1st Grade to 9th Grade).
However, on the continent, I"m currently at, the best blacksmith is only at Mortal Blacksmith Peak and only at the Central Continent that an Earth Blacksmith is, I wonder if there are Celestial Blacksmiths only at a higher plane?

Going out of his courtyard, Apollo directly went to meet with his dad and talk to him that he will leave, seeing that Uncle Lu was talking with his dad, a sad expression was on Uncle Lu face, feeling an ominous sensation, he came near them and asked ""Why are you sad like that, Uncle?""
""Little Apollo... I came here three weeks ago but you were on reclusion, it"s about Lamia"" He said and for some reason, Apollo panicked while thinking about what happened but his thoughts were interrupted as Uncle Lu said ""The Great Elder of "Blooming Lotus Sect" took her as an apprentice, saying that she has the rare "Watering Moon King Body", little Lamia asked me to notify you that she is waiting for you and that she"ll never forget you""
Apollo cared about her like a friend but why is he feeling so sad, more than it was supposed to be? Why his body feels so heavy? Holding back tears that were threatening to come out, Apollo asked with his voice trembling ""D-Dad... Why I"m feeling like that? Why my heart hurts so much? Uncle Lu, why you let Lamia go?""
""My son... It"s hard to explain but you must remember, in this world, the only way for you to get what you want is to be strong"" Apollo dad said, not knowing what to say, seeing his beloved son sad like that.

Apollo felt that he had to release his anger and unwillingness, a domineering Rainbow-colored Lightning and Golden-Silverish Flames broke out of his body.
Outside of the Ílio clan, every citizen of the Great Qian Kingdom felt fear as huge amounts of black clouds appeared on the previously clear sky, the temperature rose to incredible heights as rainbow-colored Lightning appeared from time to time, the sound of thunder striking their ears.
Some got to their knees and prayed together ""O"Great G.o.d, please have mercy on this lowly Kingdom, have mercy and spare our humble lives!"" no one except Uncle Lu and Apollo dad knew, however, the source of this Celestial Phenomenon.
"His anger... made a "Celestial Phenomenon" appear, just who Apollo truly is?" Uncle Lu thought, confused but proud of his son-in-law.
At the same time, Apollo eyes opened, the previous anger disappeared and so did the Celestial Phenomenon, a cold glint appeared on his beautiful golden-colored eyes as he said ""Father, I calmed down. I"ll go to the Luo Kingdom to take the Myriad Weapons Sect recruitment""
Saying that, normal blue-colored Lightning sparks were all that could be seen before Apollo disappeared, leaving his dad, that had a sad expression as he said ""This speed... I"m afraid that even someone at Spiritual Manifestation 3-layer peak can"t have, to think that little Apollo was already this strong, just, I hope that this sadness and unwillingness make his Will stronger""
Meanwhile, Apollo was already out of the Kingdom, he wasn"t with even a tiny bit of anger anymore, his eyes were burning with determination to get stronger, with this in mind, he went to the Kingdom nearby.
