The towering Craftsman Mountain shot up through the misty clouds. At the foot of the mountain, several hundred great beings of different races knelt. At first glance, Luo Feng could recognize a third of them as universe knights. The rest were undying great beings.
"Close to 200 universe knights kneeling," Luo Feng said to himself. "The ability to create true treasures must be extremely desirable."
"Hey! Why aren't you going?" Bo Ni Sha, who was beside Luo Feng, asked out of curiosity.
"I do desire to learn." Luo Feng smiled and lowered his eyes to look at Bo Ni Sha. "I certainly do want to learn the legendary skill of the Craftsman Master. However, I am not confident. Therefore, I'm here more for satisfying my curiosity... to take a look."
"They are all here to try their luck," said Bo Ni Sha. "Out of these 500 or more candidates, it will be a generous intake if two or three are accepted as disciples." She pointed to the crowd of great beings of different races on their knees. These great beings, either in the life-form of energy, flesh and blood, or rock, were all down on their knees. All waiting wordlessly...
"How long have they been kneeling?" Luo Feng asked.
"Waiting, waiting till the Craftsman Master appears," Bo Ni Sha said lightly. "Kneeling for thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years is commonplace. But the longest wait has yet to exceed 100 centuries. If one does not even have the perseverance to kneel for a long period of time, one is not worthy to learn the skill of making true treasures."
Luo Feng nodded.
"I can't accompany you any further," said Bo Ni Sha. "I'm heading off to visit my friend." She danced around Luo Feng before flying off into a deep blue building.
Luo Feng looked up at the towering Craftsman Mountain as he made his way toward it.
"So many different races," he said.
He looked at the many buildings of different styles located quite a distance away. These numerous ancient buildings were abodes that great beings had constructed while here to seek an audience with Craftsman Master. The majority were vacated, but a sizable number of them were still occupied by great beings.
"They might be great beings from other races who are here to seek treasures," Luo Feng said to himself. "The fourth black metal board can be found on Craftsman Mountain; Craftsman Master is on that mountain. Given his power, how am I going to obtain the fourth black metal board? Even if I did manage to steal it, Craftsman Master controls the space and time here. He could catch me easily." He gazed up at the mountain. "How am I going to obtain it?"
While thinking, Luo Feng walked on, not realizing that he had already reached the foot of the mountain.
"Stop! My friend, stop!" A deep and melodious voice called out.
Luo Feng turned to look. Amid the crowd of over 500 universe knights and undying great beings, a handful looked over. Among them, there was a being with four hooves and a human body over 1,000 feet tall. He was watching Luo Feng with three golden eyes, and in a melodious voice, he said, "My friend, Craftsman Mountain is where Craftsman Master and his disciples reside. Any other great beings without prior permission from Craftsman Master will not be able to enter the region. Entering without consent would be showing disrespect to Master."
"Oh," said Luo Feng with a smile. "Thank you. I was too engrossed in my thoughts."
"Are you also here for the purpose of asking Craftsman Master to take you in as his disciple?" The being shifted its gaze downwards to look at Luo Feng. Although he was kneeling, he was still taller than Luo Feng.
