"Begin the refining!"

Lu Tao didn't waste any time and went straight into his weapon-refining room to begin refining a new Great Thousand World.

Imperial Jade Marrow, Immortal Tears Green Gold, Imperial Tribulation Heavenly Gold, Ascension Lotus...

Lu Tao took out all the Emperor-level materials he had collected from the three top powers, piled them up in front of him, and then began to pray.

There are many kinds of Emperor-level materials, each with its own unique function.

When crafting a Great Thousand World, simply piling up all the top-tier materials won't necessarily produce the best Great Thousand World.

Just like when crafting other divine artifacts, it also requires so-called compatibility.

That is, the instrument.

but.

There aren't many recipes for crafting artifacts from the Great Thousand Worlds, and the materials required are far fewer than the top-tier materials that Lu Tao has collected.

He needs to combine these Emperor-level materials to pray and see which materials, when mixed together, can be used to refine the best Great Thousand World currently available.

It needs to be better than No. 2 in terms of stealth and defense.

certainly.

The materials used now are all top-tier Emperor-level materials, while the best materials used to refine No. 2 were only Divine Emperor-level materials like those from the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Therefore, in any case, the new Great Thousand World will inevitably be more effective than the Second Great Thousand World.

This is beyond doubt.

"Praying..."

Lu Tao made each of his prayers, selecting each piece of Emperor-level material.

Not long after.

Lu Tao selected the materials and, with the help of other auxiliary materials, began refining them with the aid of the fireball.

whoosh—

Tens of thousands of fireballs scorched and engulfed the pieces of Emperor-grade materials.

Even though these fireballs have reached the level of superior divine emperor artifacts, smelting emperor-level materials is not so easy.

It took quite a bit of time.

This is even with the enhancements from various weapon-refining rooms; otherwise, it would take even longer.

and.

The subsequent integration process was equally challenging.

The smelting and fusion of various Emperor-level materials alone took Lu Tao several months.

"As expected of an Emperor-grade material!"

Lu Tao sighed softly.

Fortunately, he had enough fireballs, each one capable of easily burning a God Emperor to death. With the help of these fireballs, he was able to melt down the Emperor-level materials so quickly.

Otherwise, even with various enhancements, it would probably take thousands or tens of thousands of years to create a new Great Thousand World.

It's so exaggerated, it's unbelievable.

"melt!"

With Lu Tao's final soft shout, various materials and Emperor-level materials began to fuse together in an orderly manner.

The world's outer shell, internal structure, formations, the inlay of the Holy Spirit Vein, the implantation of three thousand different cultivation techniques, and so on—every step is orderly and perfectly combined.

"The final step... spiritual fusion!"

As the world was about to take shape, Lu Tao took out many spiritual consciousnesses from the system space and merged them all together to form a brand new and powerful spiritual consciousness.

Then integrate it into the new world, making it the will of heaven and earth in this world.

Buzz—

As the void trembled slightly, a brand new world was created by Lu Tao.

The moment it took shape, like other worlds, its rank was only a low-level minor world.

but.

Although its rank is low, its abilities in all aspects are far superior to those of the previous No. 1 and No. 2 of the same rank, and it can even be said to have surpassed the rank in the Lesser Thousand Worlds.

Gain experience, level up...

Lu Tao didn't observe everything about Number 3 carefully; he just kept giving it experience and then let it begin its tribulation in Number 2.

Boom—

After several days of relentless tribulations, Number 3 was upgraded to the level of an intermediate Great Thousand World.

"Let me see your power!"

Lu Tao happily took No. 3 in his hand and carefully read the text description of No. 3.

With just one glance, Lu Tao couldn't help but be overjoyed: "A superior-grade Holy Spirit Vein!"

That's right.

After the mid-grade Holy Spirit Vein from No. 2 was inlaid into No. 3, and after several upgrades, its grade was also raised to the level of a high-grade Holy Spirit Vein.

This made Lu Tao very happy.

With these superior-grade Holy Spirit Veins, his cultivation speed will undoubtedly be faster.

Not only were the original mid-grade Holy Spirit Veins upgraded, but other low-grade Holy Spirit Veins or Divine Veins were also inlaid by Lu Tao, and all of them were upgraded to different degrees.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

The Immortal Sect today already possesses cultivation resources far exceeding those of the entire God Realm, particularly in terms of divine veins and holy spirit veins.

There are just too many.

Light is the pulse of the Holy Spirit, and it is measured in tens of thousands.

It should be noted that there are only about a hundred Dao Saints.

Even if each of them possessed a hundred Holy Spirit Veins, they still couldn't compare to Lu Tao, not to mention that's unrealistic.

Lu Tao didn't think much of it and looked at the other increases.

The various increases, such as cultivation increase, comprehension of martial arts rules, weapon forging increase, alchemy increase, etc., are the same as those of No. 1 and No. 2, with no difference.

Both are seventeen times.

In response to this.

Lu Tao was not disappointed; he had been mentally prepared for this.

Furthermore, Lu Tao's creation of No. 3 was not for these enhancements.

As for time acceleration, it is naturally even less comparable to No. 2. It only provides a very limited boost from the cultivation technique, amounting to only twice the speed.

With Number 2 present, the time acceleration for Number 3 is actually completely useless.

Then there's the Reincarnation Aptitude, which can also reach the highest level of King Grade.

Lu Tao didn't care either.

He looked at the stealth effect that he cared about most.

"Hiss... It actually managed to hide from the search of a mid-stage Dao Saint!"

Lu Tao was overjoyed as he looked at the stealth effect of number 3.

Originally, number 2, who was of the same rank, could at most deceive a God Emperor at the peak of his power, and could not easily deceive his perception.

The result is now.

Although No. 3, crafted from Emperor-grade materials, is still only a mid-level Great Thousand World, its concealment effect has been improved many times over.

It can completely deceive even those in the mid-stage of the Dao Saint realm.

Even when facing a late-stage Dao Saint, with a bit of luck, one can evade their perception.

Just like how Number 2 managed to deceive the Perfected God Emperor, it's just that it's not so easy to deceive him. But in terms of effect, if we consider the realm, Number 3's concealment effect is roughly equivalent to raising the realm by one major level.

That's incredible.

This is the difference between Emperor-grade materials and Royal-grade materials.

It's incredibly big.

Finally, there's the defensive capabilities of number 3.

Its defensive capabilities are significantly improved compared to No. 2.

The previous No. 2 had better stealth than defense, but the current No. 3 has defense that is now on par with stealth.

Number 3 can completely withstand the bombardment of a mid-stage Dao Saint.

Even a late-stage Dao Saint can withstand it for ten breaths; that's how powerful Number 3 is.

Compared to No. 2, its improvement in this aspect provides Lu Tao and the Immortal Sect with almost unparalleled security.

If Lu Tao were to advance to the God Emperor realm, Number 3 would see further improvements in all aspects...

At that time.

Even a Dao Saint in the late stage, or even at the peak, would probably be unable to do anything to Number 3.

That's true safety and peace of mind.

"Phew... I can finally relax!"

Lu Tao breathed a long sigh of satisfaction. He believed that even among the Dao Saints of the three major powers, few could pose a threat to him, as he could withstand No. 3, who was at the mid-stage of the Dao Saint realm.

Dao Saint... is the highest level of cultivation in the God Realm.

With only about a hundred individuals in total, it's easy to imagine that those who have reached the late stage or perfect Dao Saint level are extremely rare.

Compared to other realms, having ten or more Dao Saints at the late stage is considered a rather exaggerated proportion.

therefore.

Lu Tao's fear of the three major forces almost completely vanished at once.

This is the sense of security that number 3 brings him.

It has to be said.

This is extremely exaggerated and terrifying.

Of course, that's not the most crucial point.

The most crucial element is the will of heaven and earth of number 3.

Its will of heaven and earth, after being fused with millions of spiritual consciousnesses comparable to the perfected God Emperor, the will of heaven and earth of many great worlds, and other spiritual consciousnesses accumulated in the system space over the years.

Number 3's strength far exceeded Lu Tao's expectations.

Lu Tao even suspected that Number 3, the will of heaven and earth, could easily kill a God Emperor at the peak of his power.

My soul probed into Number 3's body, sensing its power.

Lu Tao asked curiously, "Number 3, how strong are you?"

Number 3 said, "Reporting to the sect master, if the battle takes place inside my body, I can easily kill a Dao Saint in the early stage, or even the middle stage. However, if the battle takes place outside my body, my combat power will be greatly weakened, and I will not be able to kill a Dao Saint."

"Hmm, that's already very strong!"

Lu Tao nodded to himself; this combat strength was actually quite formidable.

Number 3 is, after all, the vast world, mainly used for living, cultivation, and protection. Compared to these, its combat power is not particularly outstanding.

Even so, the combat power of item 3 is still stronger than that of the superior-grade Dao artifact, the Frost Sword.

and……

Number 3's combat power is sustainable, and it doesn't consume much of its energy. However, once the power of the Great Dao of the Frost Sword is exhausted, it will need time to be nurtured and restored.

Therefore, even when fighting outside the body, Number 3 is more powerful than the Frost Sword.

"Not bad, not bad. The only regret is that we didn't get any Saint-level materials. If we had gotten a few and added them to the refining process, its various abilities would definitely have been upgraded to another level."

While Lu Tao was satisfied, he also felt some regret.

Despite plundering so many treasure troves, not a single Saint-level material was obtained.

Even after emptying the Tianyu Sect's treasury, they still couldn't obtain a single item after the Dao Saint's restriction was lifted, which is truly regrettable.

Otherwise...

Number 3 should be even safer, capable of concealing and preventing attacks from late-stage Dao Saints, or even those at the Perfection stage.

It can practically maximize security features in one go.

To truly achieve safety and peace of mind.

"Replace!"

With a thought, Lu Tao directly swapped the positions of number 2 and number 3, placing number 3 on the outermost edge.

at the same time.

Lu Tao's heart stirred, and he asked, "Number 3, with your current abilities, if you can shield yourself from cause and effect, you can also deceive even the mid-stage or late-stage Dao Saint?"

Number 3 replied, "Yes, Sect Master, my world power is very strong, and my own will is also very strong. I can easily shield cause and effect, preventing other Dao Saints from sensing or guessing your existence."

Lu Tao nodded slightly and instructed, "Yes, remember to shield cause and effect in a timely manner when our Immortal Sect takes action in the future."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Make a note of this on the 3rd.

In the past, this task was always done by number 1. After number 2 finished refining it, number 2 would take over. Now it's number 3's turn.

It's like a tradition.

"Sigh, I have a feeling I'm about to be abandoned!"

Number 1 was feeling somewhat distressed at this moment.

Once Number 3 emerges, all of its abilities will be replaced by Number 3. To the Immortal Sect, it will be just like the other depleted Great Thousand Worlds—useless.

Unlike No. 2, it doesn't have an extremely high time acceleration, and No. 3 can't replace it.

"..."

Sensing Number 1's emotions, Lu Tao was speechless.

I couldn't be bothered with it and continued doing my own thing.

"Enlightenment Stone..."

Lu Tao took out a small piece of Enlightenment Stone that he had obtained from the Tianyu Sect.

The Enlightenment Stone, as its name suggests, is used to attain enlightenment. This so-called "Dao" refers not only to the Great Dao, but also to martial arts techniques, rules, and so on.

therefore.

Its role is extremely important, especially for the Immortal Sect, where it is of paramount importance.

This enlightenment stone is not large, only about the size of a fist.

Perhaps its use is limited for the Tianyu Sect, and it can only be sealed in the treasure vault. Even Elder Fu, a powerful expert in the late stage of the God Emperor realm, has not taken it out to study and use.

However, once this item fell into Lu Tao's hands, it could infinitely enhance his abilities.

"Let's see what materials we can use."

Lu Tao channeled his immense spiritual power onto the various refining materials, selecting those that would enhance his comprehension.

Even if the benefit is only a tiny bit, or even negligible, Lu Tao wouldn't mind.

He sifted through all such materials and then prayed again.

soon.

Lu Tao selected a variety of materials suitable for the Enlightenment Stone and then began refining them, just like the Enlightenment Stone itself.

The artifact that Lu Tao crafted was naturally made primarily of Enlightenment Stones, but he did not want to damage the Enlightenment Stones' properties of enlightenment. Therefore, he did not dare to melt too many Enlightenment Stones during the crafting process.

They simply melted its surroundings and then fused other materials around the Enlightenment Stone.

final.

With the help of the fireball, Lu Tao refined it into a three-zhang-sized Enlightenment Stone.

【Enlightenment Platform: 0/10,000 (Divine level, made from precious Enlightenment Stone fragments, allowing beings to sit cross-legged on it, enhancing their understanding of various skills, the Great Dao, etc.)

Because this Enlightenment Stone fragment is relatively small and has been used for countless years, the Enlightenment Stone's Enlightenment properties have been greatly depleted, so the Enlightenment Platform will not be very effective.

The gain in understanding of each aspect is only 5 times.

Note: The more times the Enlightenment Platform is used, the more Enlightenment Stones it consumes. Please use it sparingly!

"Good heavens, no wonder it's been sealed away in the treasure vault and never used; its reserves have been almost completely depleted!"

Lu Tao suddenly realized.

He said that since there was such an enlightenment stone, why didn't the elders of the Tianyu Sect use it? So that's why.

actually.

Even a 5x increase is a rare treasure for other beings, as it is equivalent to increasing one's comprehension by 5 times.

This will definitely save them countless hours in comprehending cultivation methods, martial arts techniques, rules, and the great Dao.

but.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Enlightenment Platform Lu Tao crafted has a 5x amplification; the amplification of the Enlightenment Stone alone will definitely be smaller.

He put a lot of thought and effort into crafting this Enlightenment Platform.

The various materials, faith consumption, and suitable artifact recipes that are obtained through prayer... and so on.

Only he could do that.

If it were someone else, such as a sage from the Tianyu Sect, they certainly wouldn't dare to use the Enlightenment Stone to try refining artifacts.

Even the slightest loss would be unacceptable to the sage of the Tianyu Sect.

Lu Tao dared to try it casually because he had a wish, and also because the things he refined could be upgraded and have an amplification effect.

So what seems like a simple process for him to refine the Enlightenment Platform is actually not easy at all.

and.

The combined effect of other materials also accounts for a significant portion of this 5-fold increase.

If it's just fragments of the Enlightenment Stone, twice the amount would be considered good.

A 5-fold increase... For disciples of the Immortal Sect who have always enjoyed various increases, a mere 5-fold increase is really nothing to mention.

But this is only the initial increase of the Enlightenment Platform.

It hasn't been upgraded yet.

"Using the Enlightenment Platform to gain experience is relatively easy."

With that thought in mind, Lu Tao placed the Enlightenment Platform in the No. 3 training room and then placed the No. 1 Rule World on the Martial Arts Platform.

In an instant.

The experience gained from the Enlightenment Platform skyrocketed.

In just a moment, the experience bar expanded significantly.

The foundation of the Enlightenment Platform was almost completely exhausted in that instant.

"upgrade!"

Lu Tao hurriedly upgraded the Enlightenment Platform, just in case it broke.

Buzz—

In an instant, the Enlightenment Platform upgraded one after another, and its amplification effect continued to increase, causing its almost exhausted foundation to surge again.

final.

When the Enlightenment Platform is upgraded to the Royal level, its amplification effect reaches 25 times!

Each time it upgrades, the increase in power increases by 5 times, although it's just cumulative.

However, this increase is greater than the increases of the Lesser Thousand Worlds, Lesser Worlds, Cave Dwellings, and Sects.

Especially its current 25-fold increase.

It far surpasses the individual increases of the current Great Thousand World, the Rule World, the Cave Mansion, and the Sect, which are only a dozen times each.

This gap will only widen further in the future.

"As expected of the Enlightenment Stone, this amplification effect lives up to its name!"

Lu Tao was very satisfied with the amplification effect of the Enlightenment Platform.

With this 25-fold increase, the Immortal Sect's comprehension of rules, the Great Dao, and other aspects will undoubtedly be faster, improving by about a quarter.

certainly.

After the Enlightenment Platform appeared, He Yuanshuang, Wu Ming, Lu Ling and others were the ones who helped the most.

They will be able to comprehend the rules of chaos more quickly, and in the future, they will comprehend the Great Dao of Chaos.

"This Enlightenment Platform is being used up too quickly; let's put it in the cultivation room of Rule World 1."

Lu Tao moved the Enlightenment Platform to a different location.

Originally, he wanted all living beings, including his followers, to enjoy the amplification of the Enlightenment Platform, but the foundation was being depleted too quickly, so it was more appropriate to only allow it to be used by the Immortal Sect disciples in the cave.

After crafting these two items, Lu Tao still didn't leave seclusion; he continued to craft other things.

Brand new telescopes, earpieces, and even a second Anywhere Door...

After refining many items, Lu Tao finally emerged from seclusion.

"Let's set off for the outer void and collect the last thirty kinds of divine medicines of the rules!"

Lu Tao stretched and used the Anywhere Door to open a space. With one step, he stepped out of the Dao Palace and appeared in the outer void beyond the three major forces...
