Artifact
With the joint efforts of many great masters, this operation went smoothly.
It took them only about seven days to design a sketch, and then they began to forge the initial parts according to the sketch.
The only difficulty was when agreeing on the main material of the artifact body - because it is extremely difficult to find materials that can withstand such a majestic aura. Hard
to find is secondary, what is more important is suitability, and that condition is even more demanding.
"Use Nine Heavens Star Meteorite." This was Tang Zifeng's suggestion.
Because he wanted to forge the artifact, he took the initiative to move to the artifact club and participated in all the processes of artifact forging - it is hard to say whether he was supervising.
"Nine Heavens Meteorite is quite suitable." Grandmaster Minghua hesitated for a moment, "But, Meteorite is already rare, not to mention Nine Heavens Meteorite. If all of it is used to forge artifacts, it will almost exhaust all the stocks in the world of cultivation."
"But we don't have a better choice at the moment, right?" Tang Zifeng looked indifferent, "And it's related to the Sixth Domain... No matter how precious it is, it's worth it."
In the end, Minghua and other grandmasters agreed to Tang Zifeng's suggestion.
But Minghua said that it was not clear whether Tang Zifeng chose to forge with such a precious material for the "Sixth Domain" or for someone else.
When Tang Zifeng participated in this artifact refining operation, he completely abandoned his identity as a "younger generation" and showed a rare strong attitude.
Even for some details, they took the initiative to point out some grandmasters' negligence and problems in their weapon forging techniques, which often made the grandmasters embarrassed.
These grandmasters have long been at the top of the weapon path in the current world of immortal cultivation. They usually live in luxury, listen to flattery and teach the younger generation. They have never been "taught" like this before, and they were immediately furious.
But the weapon path does not judge by seniority, but by level.
The level of the weapon path may not be intuitive, but it is easy to test.
You say your theory is right, and your forging technique is more advanced, okay, let's try it once - the path is not intuitive, but the forged magic weapon is very intuitive.
Any empty theory will eventually be implemented in the weapon itself.
Tang Zifeng used "objective facts" to shut up those grandmasters.
He could be said to be the leader of this action before, but this "leader" power was given to him by Qin Ruqing's authority. Because only he had Qin Ruqing's trust.
But now, he has truly become the leader of these masters who look down on others. And this time, he relied on his indisputable level of weapon refining.
Tang Zifeng even gave lessons to these grand masters.
He talked about the theory of "using the body as a weapon."
"This is the core that Minglu Immortal Venerable taught me when I accepted the inheritance." Tang Zifeng said.
Just this one sentence, immediately made those experienced grand masters sit up straight.
——This is the ancient weapon inheritance!
They couldn't help but lean forward and prick up their ears.
Tang Zifeng was surrounded by people without knowing it, and began to "lecture" the Grand Master.
When he got excited, some people showed their yearning, "So that's it! The body is the tool, and cultivating the tool is cultivating the body. No wonder the ancient tool cultivators could be the main combat force, and they were all heroic."
Grand Master Minghua also looked at Tang Zifeng in a complicated way: "Zifeng, you can tell us the core of this inheritance without keeping it secret... You are very good."
This level of inheritance should not be passed on to anyone other than disciples and relatives. Tang Zifeng was able to tell everyone in this occasion, no matter what his purpose was, everyone had to be grateful for his kindness.
With Minghua's words, the other Grand Masters also showed admiration and appreciation to Tang Zifeng. Even the Grand Master who had fallen out with Tang Zifeng before because of his "teaching" actually took the initiative to bow deeply to Tang Zifeng.
"Zifeng is our teacher for one day!" he said excitedly.
Tang Zifeng also said seriously: "Zifeng was cultivated by the Instrument Association, and he should return the favor and contribute to the development of the Instrument Association. Moreover, such an important inheritance can raise the height of the instrument path in the current world of immortal cultivation. How can Zifeng keep it to himself?"
The old guys actually had tears in their eyes and were moved by Tang Zifeng's righteousness.
But Tang Zifeng was in a state of turmoil. He looked at these people calmly, but in his heart he remembered what Qingqing said to her:
"In fact, some good things will be more useful if you reveal them a little rather than hiding them. When you go there this time, there will definitely be people who will take advantage of their age. These old guys are not bad, they are just used to it - and you have to take them out of their comfort zone. You don't need to say much about the inheritance you got in Guixu, just reveal some core theories, but don't say a word about how to operate it in practice."
"Just wait and see in the end. You have the bait in your hand, and you are keeping them hanging. How much real stuff you reveal in the end depends entirely on ourselves, doesn't it? Even if you say nothing in the end, your position is already occupied and cannot be changed. Those old guys will only curse you in their hearts, and they will surely not dare to fart in public. Because they are still counting on you to continue to leak out some knowledge and pass it on to them!"
Qin Ruqing hardly had to think about these "operations". As soon as his full lips moved up and down, he spoke a long list of truths.
Tang Zifeng asked her at that time: "Qingqing knows so much, are there many people who curse you in their hearts?"
Qin Ruqing raised her eyebrows and said proudly: "Of course not? In the current world of immortal cultivation, there are more than half of the people who are willing to curse me in their hearts for no reason. As for the remaining half, they love and hate me, and their teeth itch when they think of me, which also accounts for a lot of people!"
Qin Ruqing said this without blushing.
Tang Zifeng couldn't understand the reason for the joy in her eyebrows at that time, but now, looking at the expressions of these great masters, he seems to understand it inexplicably.
Sometimes, it's really fun to cheat people.
While these people are forging artifacts, Qin Ruqing can't be idle.
She needs to constantly sense the sixth domain. And practice the skills of blending mind with Tang Zifeng.
Yes, these are two different things.
Qin Ruqing didn't make much progress on the first task. If she could find it by herself, there would be no need to forge any artifacts.
The second task was quite effective - Qin Ruqing can now accurately control which thoughts can be captured by Tang Zifeng and which thoughts need to be hidden when the divine thoughts merge.
It's impossible to be completely "honest".
Such proficiency certainly has a price.
The price was that Qin Ruqing had never thought that the fusion of spiritual thoughts needed to be controlled, and accidentally Tang Zifeng saw something she shouldn't have seen...
From then on, she knew the importance of mind control and diversion, so she intensified her practice and mastered it later.
The "content that shouldn't be seen" was not very harmful.
It would just cause social death.
Tang Zifeng finally knew about the illusion that she had been hiding for a hundred years!
That day was an ordinary day in Qin Ruqing's eyes.
She practiced as usual and experienced the "power of the origin". Then she pondered the arrangement plan in her mind, and then tried to find the sixth domain. Finally, she practiced the art of spiritual communication with Xiao Tang, who was returning to the island of Japan from the instrument.
The normal practice content should have been Qin Ruqing's understanding of Tang Zifeng's law of transmitting the five elements.
The five elements are the foundation, but they are also very important. The relevant laws are complete from low-level to high-level, from easy to difficult. Qin Ruqing also planned to take Xiao Tang to try higher-level things such as the realm of all things or the absolute realm after going through all the five elements.
As a result, an accident happened that day.
The accident was caused by Tang Zifeng, who for some reason (?) gave Qin Ruqing a handmade small gift.
A jade statue of Qin Ruqing, a goddess, carved from jade.
Qin Ruqing took it and played with it in his hand in surprise: "What material is this, cool, and seems to be glowing? Is it me carved on it? Oh, it must be me, and there is a lotus under my feet."
Tang Zifeng: ... In fact, you can tell it's you by looking at your face.
Taking the jade from Qin Ruqing's hand with slender fingers, Tang Zifeng said warmly: "This is fluorescent jade, a rare but perhaps useless material. I saw a piece in the warehouse of the Warehouse. It's just the right size to make a jade ornament." So he took it out and carved Qing Qing's image.
"Ah, it's useless and you still give it to me?" Qin Ruqing was surprised.
"..." Tang Zifeng was a little helpless, "I just wanted to show you something new."
He was not offended because he knew that Qingqing... had this kind of character. She generally thinks very pragmatically and has little emotional thinking.
As if to prove this novelty, Tang Zifeng used her fingers hard, and with just one twist, she actually crushed the small jade statue to pieces in front of Qin Ruqing.
"Ah! Xiao Tang, what are you doing!"
As a result, the crushed jade sculpture did not fall to the ground, but turned into tiny streams of light, flowing out from Tang Zifeng's fingers, and gradually dispersed in the surrounding air. Looking around, there was green and blue fireflies.
Qin Ruqing exclaimed sincerely this time.
Tang Zifeng curled the corners of his lips because of this wow, and stretched out his hand again, and the sky of fireflies gathered again in his hand into a small image of Qin Ruqing.
He stuffed the jade sculpture into Qin Ruqing's hand and said, "That's why this jade is called firefly."
Tang Zifeng might not be able to please Qin Ruqing by giving him a small jade sculpture (but giving him spirit stones would definitely do),
but giving him a jade sculpture that could disperse and gather like a firefly did please Qin Ruqing.
This kind of strange thing was just what Qin Ruqing liked.
The jade carving seemed much more precious to her this time. She imitated what Tang Zifeng had just demonstrated, crushing and reassembling it several times before reluctantly putting it away.
Tang Zifeng was watching her with a smile.
Catching this smile, something flashed through Qin Ruqing's mind. She felt vaguely familiar with it, but couldn't remember it. It didn't matter if she
couldn't remember it. She practiced the telepathic communication technique with Tang Zifeng as usual.
But this time, it was a bad calculation!
She remembered it during the telepathic communication.
"Hey, did Xiao Tang from the Illusion also carve such a gadget for me?" This sentence sounded in Tang Zifeng's mind like a loudspeaker.
He paused, then opened his eyes in surprise, "Who is Xiao Tang from the Illusion?"
Tang Zifeng said this sentence with his telepathy.
Qin Ruqing was stunned and said subconsciously, "Oh no! Now Xiao Tang knows about the illusion!"
Unfortunately, she forgot that she was still communicating with her mind, so Tang Zifeng heard this sentence again. By the way, her mind also subconsciously emerged the scene of Xiao Tang in the illusion giving her a small wooden sculpture (?
When Qin Ruqing reacted to all this, she quickly retracted her head and took a few steps back with her body supported. Her clear eyes were wide open with rare fear.
Seeing Xiao Tang looking at her with an unprecedented look, Qin Ruqing laughed dryly and tried to cover her ears and steal the bell:
"Ha, Xiao Tang, you didn't hear anything?"
Tang Zifeng's thoughts seemed to be still immersed in the mind he had just captured, and hesitantly said: "Xiao Tang in the illusion, is it me?"
"Well, it looks like you, so it must be you! I dreamed about you, and in my dream you also gave me a small carved ornament, but it was made of wood... Why do you like to give things like this? It's just a coincidence." Qin Ruqing started to talk nonsense.
Tang Zifeng's eyes became serious. He was surprisingly hard to fool at this time. "No, an illusion is an illusion. With Qingqing's strictness, How can one call a dream an illusion in his mind? "
Isn't this just deceiving oneself? "
Qin Ruqing kept his mouth shut.
Tang Zifeng has already begun to follow this clue. He looked at Qin Ruqing with inquiring eyes, "That little Tang in the illusion, his words and deeds seem to be quite close to Qingqing, he is not an ordinary person."
Hey, are they a couple? They are definitely not ordinary people. Qin Ruqing could only smile awkwardly.
"Can we infer this: In a certain illusion, Qingqing had a close relationship with me, or someone who looks and has the same identity as me, that was beyond the closeness of ordinary people, and it lasted for quite a long time."
Do you have to be so sensitive, God! Qin Ruqing couldn't listen any more, and jumped up like a shrimp.
"You also said that it was an illusion! Illusion!" She emphasized loudly.
Tang Zifeng nodded, "In other words, it is true, it is true."
Qin Ruqing: ...Want to die.
She forced herself to maintain her momentum, stared at Tang Zifeng with sharp eyes, raised her chin and announced: "Today's spiritual communication ends here!"
After that, she flashed a few times and disappeared on the island reef.
Tang Zifeng was left, staring at the direction where Qin Ruqing left, thinking.
After that, Qin Ruqing did not practice any telepathic communication with Tang Zifeng for at least seven days.
During these seven days, she began to practice telepathic control, making sure that from now on, her telepathic control would be directed to the target, and there would be no irrelevant content.
Tang Zifeng did not take the initiative to ask Qin Ruqing anything, as he was entangled by the group of great masters and was busy forging divine weapons, so his time was already very tight.
After seven days, Qin Ruqing decided to take the initiative to attack.
She took the initiative to call Tang Zifeng over. When she saw him, she called out, "You've been a little lazy these days. Why didn't you come to see me? As it's a big deal to find the sixth domain, we still have to keep practicing."
Tang Zifeng opened his mouth, and Qin Ruqing was quick to respond, and continued to say, "Let's make it a little more difficult today..."
Tang Zifeng shut up this time, staring at Qin Ruqing, and hummed deeply.
With the full cooperation of all the grandmasters, the artifact used to assist Qin Ruqing in exploring the sixth domain was finally forged.
That day, the sky of the cultivation world was struck by a full forty-seven nine-sky thunderbolts.
This is an astonishing number. Any grandmaster in the past would have boasted about it for his whole life, but at this moment, it was not enough.
Because, for a true divine weapon to take shape, it needs to go through 49 thunderbolts! Now there are only 47, two less, so it cannot be considered a true divine weapon.
Blood was oozing from the corners of Tang Zifeng's mouth, and his breath was weak. He stared at the sky where the thunderclouds had not yet dispersed, and actually tried to summon thunder again.
This time, the forging of the divine weapon adopted the ancient forging method of "using the body as a weapon". Because Tang Zifeng is the one who truly accepts this inheritance, and he is also the one who is connected to the divine consciousness of the divine weapon.
This means that Tang Zifeng must bear at least 20% of the power of the thunderbolt suffered by the divine weapon.
This is because the divine weapon is not considered Tang Zifeng's natal weapon, so its power is weakened. If it is a natal weapon, Tang Zifeng and the Dharma weapon body are one body, so naturally he will have to bear all the thunderbolts.
But even with only 20% of its power, Tang Zifeng was already on the verge of death after forty-seven thunderbolts struck him.
Minghua frowned and looked at him, "That's enough, Zifeng. The thunderclouds have dissipated, and there will be no more thunderbolts! Even if you summon them, you can't bear it in your current state!"
Although the other masters had regrets, seeing that the situation was set, they also tried to dissuade him.
But Tang Zifeng's intention to summon thunder never stopped. As a result, the thunderclouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, emitting a rumbling sound, but no thunderbolts fell, presenting an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
Everyone was shocked. I don't know why Tang Zifeng still insisted on holding on at this point. Is this the belief of the great weapon refiner? Does he have to create a magical weapon?
But he is still so young, and now he has already experienced forty-seven thunder tribulations. It is only a matter of time before he can forge a divine weapon that can truly withstand forty-nine thunder tribulations. Why should he be so persistent at this moment?
Master Minghua saw something, raised his eyes and looked at Qin Ruqing beside him, and said loudly:
"Fairy Ruqing, you should persuade him. The power of the thunder tribulation has been exhausted, and there will not be another one. He is only hurting himself by supporting the tribulation cloud like this."
Qin Ruqing frowned tightly. She flew to the bottom of the thundercloud without saying a word, next to Tang Zifeng.
Tang Zifeng used her remaining strength to look up at him, raised her hands and pushed her aside: "Let's go... the thunder tribulation will affect you."
Qin Ruqing said coldly: "Bullshit! I don't have any strength left, there is no thunder tribulation!"
Tang Zifeng said nothing.
Qin Ruqing glanced at him for a few times, and suddenly spoke loudly, using his spiritual energy to transmit the sound to the senior leaders of the noble families around him:
"Everyone, the artifact is complete. I have also felt something recently. I plan to activate the artifact in seven days and officially search for the sixth domain. I hope you will cooperate!"
Feng Qinxue, who was standing on the cloud, glanced at Tang Zifeng, and finally looked at Qin Ruqing and nodded:
"If Master Tang has no problem, I will ask the supreme elder of the clan."
Qin Ruqing kicked Tang Zifeng, who was still lying on the ground at his feet, and when Tang Zifeng looked at him, he said expressionlessly:
"I will activate the artifact in seven days, and you will have to protect me at that time. Master Tang, is there any problem?"
After staring at each other silently for a while, Master Tang seemed to have finally compromised.
"No problem." He said word by word.
After the words fell, the gathering thunderclouds finally dissipated.
The sky brightened.
