News of Tian Qiyuan's return and his upcoming match with the God of Creation spread through the Nine Heavens like wildfire, igniting curiosity and excitement among cultivators and blacksmiths alike.

"What? The Exalted Blacksmith has returned? What happened to him being a fraud?"

"I guess that's why the God of Creation challenged him to a match—to determine whether he is truly a fraud or not."

"The Exalted Blacksmith revealed his identity? How do we know that he's not in disguise?"

"So the Exalted Blacksmith is the creator of the flawless sword… It all makes sense now…"

A few weeks later, the God of Creation announced the time and place for their competition.

"Our match will take place at the Astral Holy Grounds exactly ten years from now. There will be no time for preparations once the God of Creation Ceremony begins, but you have ten years to prepare."

Tian Qiyuan acknowledged the match and vanished from the world for the next ten years.

As Tian Qiyuan's match with the God of Creation grew closer, countless influential figures and powerful backgrounds made their way to the Astral Holy Grounds.

The Astral Holy Grounds, a unique location beyond the Nine Heavens, was accessible only to those capable of traversing the starry sky, making attendance at their match a rare privilege reserved for the most powerful or resourceful cultivators.

Fortunately for those unable to travel but eager to witness the historic event, a special treasure would broadcast the match to the entire world, ensuring everyone could watch the legendary match unfold.

When Tian Qiyuan arrived at the Astral Holy Grounds, he was greeted by a massive sea of influential people. No matter where he looked, he would recognize at least several of them with a glance. Hell, even the Celestial Emperor was present.

Of course, the Ancient Anvil Association and Yao Tao, with his new physical body, were also there.

When Yao Tao sensed Tian Qiyuan's gaze on him, his body instinctively reacted, trembling in fear.

Sometime later, Tian Qiyuan and the God of Creation approached the large area where their stations had already been prepared.

Before they started the match, the Celestial Emperor entered the stage as an announcer and said, "We have all gathered here today to witness the God of Creation and Exalted Blacksmith's competition. Both contestants will be performing a slightly altered version of the God of Creation Ceremony."

"Just like the original ceremony, they have 100 attempts to craft as many Celestial-grade treasures as they can. However, they both must craft the treasure using the materials provided to them, so they cannot craft whatever they want."
