A passing traveler through the heavens

Yang Jian's eyes reddened slightly as he slowly reached out, trying to touch the two souls before him. However, souls have no physical form, and his hand could only pass through them, leaving only an illusion.

Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao, the two soul entities, looked around at the man in front of them and the unfamiliar surroundings with a bit of a bewilderment. For some reason, they felt a deep sense of familiarity from Yang Jian.

Yang Jian's lips trembled, and his voice choked with emotion: "Father, elder brother, is it really you?"

Yang Tianyou's eyes were full of doubt and concern as he asked, "You are... Erlang? But weren't we already... Where exactly is this?"

Yang Jian's eyes were brimming with tears, which were about to spill over: "Father, elder brother, it's a long story."

Yang Jiao looked at Yang Jian with heartache in his eyes: "Second brother, you've suffered."

Just then, Ji Lin walked into the middle of the crowd and snapped his fingers crisply. Instantly, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Ji Lin used the unique skill he obtained from the lottery in the Joy of Life world—"So it is, and so it is" from the Ultimate Series.

This skill allows you to briefly summarize complex events or processes, enabling listeners to quickly absorb a wealth of information.

"So it is, and so it is." As Ji Lin used his skill, all sorts of information about the Yang family after their massacre flooded into the consciousness of Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao like a tidal wave.

Following that, Ji Lin went on to explain in detail the current state of Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao's souls.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian was extremely anxious and hurriedly asked Ji Lin if there was any way to revive his father and elder brother. Ji Lin then explained in detail the spirit forging techniques he had mastered.

After hearing this, Yang Jian fell into a long silence.

Seeing this, Ji Lin advised, "Junior brother, why don't you go ask Master? Maybe he has a solution." Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's eyes rekindled with hope, and he was overjoyed. He hurriedly ran out.

Ji Lin watched Yang Jian's departing figure, then turned to Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao's soul forms and said softly, "Your soul forms are still extremely weak and should not be exposed to the outside for extended periods."

After saying this, he put the two souls back into the Iron Book of Heaven, then squatted down and teased the Howling Celestial Dog beside him.

Not long after, Yang Jian hurriedly returned with Jade Cauldron Immortal. Upon seeing this, Ji Lin immediately took out the Iron Book of Heaven and released the souls of Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao once again.

As soon as Master Yuding stepped in, his gaze was drawn to the soul before him. A hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes as he quickly stepped forward, examining it while muttering something under his breath.

Yang Jian's face was full of urgency, and his voice trembled: "Master, please take a look, is there any way to bring my father and elder brother back to life?"

Master Yu Ding did not answer immediately, but carefully examined the souls of Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao. After a while, he straightened up with a solemn expression.

Finally, Master Yu Ding sighed helplessly and slowly shook his head: "Your father and elder brother's souls are severely damaged, and conventional methods of resurrection are unlikely to work."

Yang Jian's eyes dimmed instantly, as if all the light had been drained from them. He swayed and almost lost his balance.

At this moment, Ji Lin took out the Star Sea Fan from the system space. Under everyone's gaze, the Star Sea Fan slowly transformed from weapon form into human form.

This miraculous scene made Master Yu Ding's eyes widen in astonishment.

Seeing this, Ji Lin once again used the "so-and-so, and so-and-so" skill to explain the weapon spirit forging technique to Yu Ding Zhenren in detail.

After listening, Master Yu Ding nodded slightly and did not ask any further questions, taking it as Ji Lin's good fortune, since everyone has their own destiny on the path of cultivation.

“Disciple, I think it’s worth a try to learn your senior brother’s method of forging weapon spirits. You just saw your senior brother’s weapon, the Star Sea Fan. Reviving it using this method is a viable option,” Jade Cauldron Master said to Yang Jian.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian unconsciously clenched his fists. After a fierce internal struggle, he finally agreed in a hoarse voice to try to revive his father and elder brother using the spirit forging technique.

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have used up all his strength, and his whole body went limp instantly. Ji Lin reacted quickly and stepped forward to support Yang Jian.

Afterwards, Ji Lin gave his master a few brief instructions and then put Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao's souls back into the system space.

After bidding farewell to Master Yuding, Ji Lin led Yang Jian and Xiaotianquan to a scenic and secluded place in the Kunlun Mountains.

Ji Lin used his magic to conjure a stone table and benches, and took out several bottles of wine and some food from his system space. He then sat down opposite Yang Jian and began to drink.

At this moment, Yang Jian was filled with grief and desperately needed alcohol to numb himself. Although Ji Lin did not know how to comfort him, he drank bottle after bottle with him.

Yang Jian gulped down a large mouthful of wine, and said with a wry smile, "Senior brother, do you think I'm very useless?"

Ji Lin also took a sip of wine and said slowly, "Junior brother, don't say that, it's not your fault."

Yang Jian's eyes were somewhat unfocused as he gazed into the distance.

Ji Lin patted Yang Jian on the shoulder: "Life is full of disappointments, and it's already remarkable that you've persevered this long."

"Although this spirit forging method is not a conventional resurrection, it is still a glimmer of hope."

Yang Jian took another swig of wine, his voice tinged with bitterness: "Hope?"

Ji Lin poured himself a drink, tilted his head back, and downed it in one gulp: "As long as there's even a sliver of hope, we can't give up, can we?"

"Just like you never gave up on saving your mother."

Finally, shrouded in sorrow, Yang Jian collapsed to the ground, drunk. Upon seeing this, Ji Lin took out a blanket and gently covered him with it. He then gently lifted the sleeping Howling Celestial Dog beside him and gave it some instructions.

"Take good care of your master." After saying that, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared.

Ji Lin searched far and wide in the Kunlun Mountains, and with his keen sense of spiritual energy, he finally found an excellent place, a place filled with rich spiritual energy.

He immediately used his magic power, and the mountain slowly trembled, gradually forming a spacious cave. Then, Ji Lin began to set up an array.

In an instant, mysterious runes lit up, weaving together to form an impenetrable protective net that could not only conceal the aura within the cave but also absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world, providing a continuous source of energy for weapon forging.

With everything prepared, Ji Lin took out the Iron Book of Heaven from his robes and began studying the methods for forging weapon spirits within…

Seven days passed in a row, and during those seven days, the clanging and banging of weapons being forged echoed continuously in the cave.

Ji Lin worked tirelessly, completely absorbed in the weapon-forging process. Sometimes he would throw various rare ores into the blazing furnace, and other times he would pick up special tools to meticulously refine the nascent weapon.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. When Ji Lin swung his tool for the last time and placed a perfect weapon aside, the entire cave was already filled with all kinds of weapons.

These weapons come in various shapes and sizes; some exude a chilling aura, while others surge with intense flames, each containing powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

After a week of tireless forging, Ji Lin had mastered the technique of forging the fragments to perfection…
