Yang Rai could create a temporary soul clone inside his artifact that took care of the forging. But he knew that if this kind of ability got out others may want to seize him. Then again who would dare? That's right not many since the cave heavens and paradises know he doesn't mess around. A lesson one of the elders of Xuan-Yuan learned in an extremely painful way. They even had to hand out some high ranking materials.
Yang Rai was surprised that the Elder of Yin-Yang Heaven came to see him. It was impressive but sort of expected. They would do anything to get a sweeter deal.
"Thank you representative of Yin-Yang Heaven for coming. Please have a seat, let's talk over some tea."
"You do know how to talk well. And even show hospitality. Are you trying to butter me up?"
Yu Xiang Die sat down and sipped her tea. Then completely drained the cup. It was unlike any tea she ever had. Yang Rai chuckled a little while he sat confident and composed.
"I see you liked the tea. That's good."
"Where did you get this? No, how can I get more of this?"
"An acquaintance of mine makes it. Oh you're correct by the way. I am trying to ask you something."
"I see, then I should re-compose myself. Ah ahn. Oh my this tea is something else. My world's force became a little more pure."
"What will it take for you to tell me the secret the cave heavens and paradises are hiding. I can even keep it a secret that I know."
"Why are you so persistent about that issue?"
"Because I already know it's some kind of enemy. I can't prepare anything for it aside from what I already know. Worse yet, I know that my regular ability won't be enough."
"How do you know that, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Simple, your forces would have done literally everything in their power to kill me by now. So clearly 1 of 2 things. You can't beat me, which isn't likely or there is an enemy that having someone as strong as a rank 7 open heaven that isn't an Open heaven realm would be a drastically important thing for some reason."
"I still can't just tell you what it is. I'd be killed and so would everyone in the void land."
"Ugh… fine then. You and all of your sects can leave my world at once."
"What!?"
"How am I supposed to trust you with our people when you can't trust us? It's only natural for me to push you out. I'm not pleased by what your forces have done. I'll give you 10 years to make a decision."
"But, this… is too much. Please don't make things difficult."
"I have 2 daughters who, like me, are far beyond the regular strength limits of cultivators. I wouldn't be surprised if you tried to poach them and send them to fight an enemy they weren't able to be prepared for. Like it or not Void Land has the right to know. I'll send you away with some of that tea and some rank 5 materials. When I come out of seclusion I expect to be told what kind of countermeasures to prepare."
