How so fast?” Sun Wukong circled Su Chen twice, sizing him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve made some progress,” Su Chen smiled. “Further seclusion won’t yield much more, so I came out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! Perfect!” Sun Wukong clapped his hands. “Little brother, you’ve timed it just right! I just got a few jars of fine wine—come drink with me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out to pull Su Chen toward the wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Monkey, drinking can wait,” Su Chen quickly stopped him. “I came out for a favor—I need your help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? What is it? Say it!” Sun Wukong thumped his chest. “If I can do it, I won’t refuse!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not a big thing,” Su Chen paused, choosing his words. “Lately, I’ve had a sudden insight and developed a new axe technique. I want to find a quiet place to practice it thoroughly. But this technique is powerful and will create a lot of disturbance—practicing near the Water Curtain Cave isn’t convenient. So I was wondering, Brother Monkey, does Huaguo Mountain have any secluded, tranquil valleys where I can train?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not mention the Heaven's Gang Thirty-Six Axes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the origin of this technique ties to the Witch Clan—better to keep it secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! What’s so hard about that!” Sun Wukong waved his hand carelessly. “Huaguo Mountain has plenty of gullies—I’ll find you one where you can smash to your heart’s content!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’m in your debt, Brother Monkey,” Su Chen bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need for formalities—we’re family!” Sun Wukong waved again, then remembered something. “By the way, little brother, do you have a suitable weapon for your axe technique? If not, I’ve got a few lying around—not as good as my Ruyi Jingu Bang, but decent enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About the weapon—I was just going to ask you,” Su Chen smiled. “I plan to forge one myself. I recall the various demon kings brought many gifts—some of them were excellent refining materials. I’d like to ask you for a few.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bah! That’s all?” Sun Wukong waved his hand grandly after Su Chen finished. “Those scraps—take whatever you want. If you need more, I’ll go borrow some for you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Brother Monkey,” Su Chen said repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This monkey brother truly had no reservations about helping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, let’s pick the materials first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong was impatient; he grabbed Su Chen’s arm and dragged him toward the pile of gifts in the Water Curtain Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one corner of the Water Curtain Cave, gifts piled up like a small mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jewels, jade, spiritual herbs, immortal medicines, magic treasures, weapons—everything imaginable, glowing with radiant light, blinding to the eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen didn’t hesitate; he activated his spiritual sense and carefully scanned the pile of materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal was clear: find metal spiritual ores hard and heavy enough to withstand the brutal power of the Heaven's Gang Thirty-Six Axes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Is this… ten-thousand-year black iron?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And crimson flame copper essence?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn! Zhemedayikuaijingjin ？ Nageyaowangsongde ， Zhemeshede ！”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he scanned, Su Chen silently marveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gifts from the demon kings were truly diverse, with no shortage of rare treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, he selected several top-tier metal spiritual ores from the mountain of materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy as mountains: ten-thousand-year black iron; indestructible: starsteel; infused with supreme yang energy: solar essence iron…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any one of these materials, alone, would spark bloody battles among cultivators in the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here, in the Water Curtain Cave, they were just carelessly piled up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little brother, just these?” Sun Wukong scratched his head, looking at the few metal pieces Su Chen had chosen. “Want me to get you more?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, enough,” Su Chen laughed wryly. “Refining materials are valued for quality, not quantity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just these, after smelting, they’d be more than enough to forge a single axe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Monkey, I’ve chosen the materials—take me to that valley you mentioned,” Su Chen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong replied, leading the way out of the Water Curtain Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t ride clouds; instead, he leapt and bounded with Su Chen across Huaguo Mountain’s towering peaks and deep valleys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Su Chen finally saw the grandeur and beauty of Huaguo Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder it was the ancestral root of the Ten Isles, the origin dragon of the Three Immortal Isles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many spiritual herbs long extinct in the outside world grew freely here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After crossing several peaks, they arrived at an extremely secluded spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two ten-thousand-ren mountains stood like giant stone gates, embracing each other to form a massive gourd-shaped valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The valley entrance was narrow, allowing only a sliver of sunlight to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, however, it opened into a vast space, spanning several li in diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire valley was surrounded by steep, dark black stone walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little brother, what do you think of this place?” Sun Wukong pointed to the valley. “These two mountains—no one knows what stone they’re made of, but they’re incredibly hard. Even I need to exert myself to break them with my Ruyi Jingu Bang. Here, you can practice your axe technique however you like—it won’t make much noise!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen touched the stone wall—it was, as Sun Wukong said, far harder than ordinary rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, no plants or animals lived here—no demons or creatures came near. It was an ideal place for seclusion and cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect place! Thank you, Brother Monkey!” Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! Glad you like it!” Sun Wukong laughed. “Then I won’t disturb you. Train here in peace—anything you need, just call me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong gave a few final instructions, then flipped a somersault, leaping to the mountain peak—and vanished in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The valley was left with only Su Chen alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let’s begin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laid out the selected refining materials on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he sat cross-legged and took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puff!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden flame appeared at his fingertip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his Primordial Golden Core True Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the Golden Core True Fire emerged, the temperature in the entire valley rose sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen pointed his finger—the Golden Core True Fire flew toward the open ground ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen fed each refining material into the true fire for refining.\u003C\u002Fp>",1160,"2026-06-21T05:42:07.836Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f935d2bd194c396740d214ef031ea87f760b9640d8b38fbfe0e1e1c646792b40","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-53","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-51",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-cover.jpg"]
