Chapter 619 Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Crown: The Ferryman Arrives Online
That day.
The Five Elements Corpse Workshop, inside the Yintian Palace.
A unique aura belonging to the spiritual treasure suddenly erupted, and the aura formed by the treasure's light condensed into a pillar, scattering the white clouds for thousands of miles, clearly revealing the signs of the great treasure's birth.
The neighboring Thousand-Mile Red Land sensed it immediately, and the drought demon Qingqing emerged from the depths of the Red Land to look at the incredibly conspicuous pillar of precious light.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Five years, a full five years... and you didn't contact me even once. So you were refining a treasure. I thought you didn't want to cultivate together anymore."
This made Qingqing feel anxious and uncertain for a while.
Now that he has almost finished studying the secret technique of withering and flourishing, if he wants to try it out, he still needs to collect some treasures with rich vitality. Since Wang Yu has already succeeded, he should go and congratulate him first.
With this thought in mind, he transformed into a crimson streak of light and entered the Corpse Chamber.
Meanwhile, on Wang Yu's side...
Since comprehending the simple yet profound method of weapon crafting, called "Natural Refining," he has become unstoppable. Originally, he only intended to refine a low-grade fifth-rank magic robe before stopping.
As a result, more and more materials were put in. Here, I could find a spiritual material; there, I could find a spiritual liquid. It seemed chaotic, but in fact, it perfectly utilized the natural essence that spiritual objects had since they were born from heaven and earth.
He vaguely suspected it was related to the laws of heaven and earth.
However, due to insufficient cultivation, he is unable to see the whole picture, so he is still at the level of guessing and reasoning. Naturally, the weapon refining method cannot be separated from the feng shui technique, and it is only in its initial stage at present.
There is still room for further improvement.
Instead of thinking about that, you should think about the magical treasures he crafted.
This robe has a dark black base with a large number of golden, sand-like particles forming a blurred dragon pattern, or like a wash of gold water, swaying and ethereal, exuding seven parts of nobility.
The back hem is a bit long, with the edges and cuffs hanging down.
With the artistic conception of ink painting, it is like a dream or mist, always in a state of flux. The outer garment, trousers, belt, shoes, and inner lining are a complete set of accessories that together constitute this robe.
Because it was so elegant, choosing a name proved difficult for him.
"I originally intended to forge an ultimate magic robe that primarily amplifies magical power, but this dragon-patterned black gold has overshadowed it. Perhaps this is the drawback of natural forging—it's difficult to control the effect of the finished product."
He stroked his chin, looking at the exceptionally flamboyant robe.
Wang Yu suddenly said.
"I'll call you—[Dragon Pattern Black Gold Crown]!"
The imperial robes are the ceremonial robes of the emperor, representing the pinnacle of humanity. To forge such a robe is to be considered presumptuous, and those whose virtue does not match their position will surely suffer calamity.
However, cultivators don't care about these things. Paired with the Yama Emperor Sword, which possesses the rank of the Underworld Emperor, it complements the sword perfectly. In the past five years, this sword has successfully advanced to the fifth-tier top-grade level.
The Boundary-Breaking Divine Ship has been completely repaired. After leaving the pass, it can prepare to gather passengers and carry out the ferry service.
The Devouring Beast also successfully hatched and perfectly merged with the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Diagram. From now on, it will be the spirit of the Demon Diagram, and its rank will reach the fifth rank, high grade.
Having acquired a spirit in advance, and following the cultivation method of the Demon Diagram, it will be able to continuously devour more Six Desires Heavenly Demons and advance smoothly to the sixth rank to become a Refined Void Spiritual Treasure.
This is also why Wang Yu values the method of refining the Devouring Beast.
The sixth-tier spiritual treasures he possessed were all damaged beyond repair. The Five Elements Heavenly Escape Sacred Armor and the Void Banner were examples of such items. The Sacred Armor still possessed a spirit and could be repaired.
The Void Banner is the natal item of Zhong Ying, the Prison King and Spirit Official.
With the latter's death, even though Kong Kongzi forcibly saved his primordial spirit, the artifact spirit that had been bound to its master by life and death was already dead. Reforging was possible, but repair... was impossible.
These are all part of Wang Yu's assets, which he can utilize once he reaches a certain level of cultivation. This includes his newly forged natal spiritual treasure, the Thirty-Six Grade Blood Lotus Furnace, which has reached the fifth-grade superior level.
The fact that he completely caught up with Wang Yu's cultivation level was also related to his continuous feeding with spiritual flames and his saturated cultivation using demon corpses as materials.
It has almost reached its complete form.
His combat strength is much stronger than when he encountered Kong Kongzi back then. In fact, given his foundation and resources, there are very few beings who can make him go all out.
However, when encountering someone whose level of cultivation is too overwhelming, such as Kongkongzi.
They were powerless to resist.
While they are considered strong, they are not that strong. This is something to be extra careful about. It's important to carefully consider who you can and cannot afford to offend.
As for the grade of the dragon-patterned black gold crown.
Wang Yu was truly puzzled, because this spiritual treasure had not developed any spiritual essence, and it was the first treasure crafted using the natural refining method.
It is similar to the known weapon-refining system, but in essence it completely deviates from the methods and the requirements for weapon refiners. It is more accurate to say that it was made by Wang Yu than by natural selection.
He was just going through the motions.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Could this also be considered a treasure formed by heaven and earth?"
Besides the well-known classification of magical treasures, there is another type of artifact crafting: innate spiritual treasures nurtured by heaven and earth, also known as Xuan Tian Supreme Treasures.
It is not included in the standard classification of magical artifacts.
The weaker ones might be comparable to third-tier magic treasures, while the stronger ones are even inferior to heaven-reaching spiritual treasures. It wouldn't be entirely accurate to call the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Mystic Crown a primordial spiritual treasure.
It's more like a magical state somewhere in between.
That's why it didn't give birth to spirituality.
Thinking of this.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Yu refined the dragon-patterned black-gold crown, directly investing the treasure into his primordial spirit, where it transformed into an outer garment draped over the Taiyin Star Soul.
You can wear it instantly whenever you want and it will perform its intended function.
This item is not very effective.
Firstly, it protects the soul from external demons. Secondly, it possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities, reducing the power of supernatural spells and techniques by five-tenths and deflecting brute force attacks by seven-tenths. It also has a perfect effect on cultivators who have reached the Void Refinement stage.
It can be considered his most precious defensive treasure.
Furthermore, it possesses the miraculous ability to restore mana. With his current physique, he can restore 30% of his total mana in a single breath, which means he can use the Sunpiercing Demon Bow at its maximum power for an extended period of time.
Even if he fired the Taiyin Guanghan Arrow for seven days and seven nights, he would not feel that his magic power was insufficient. The increase in endurance was exaggerated. After all, he used to feel weak after firing three arrows at their maximum power.
The boost to combat power should not be underestimated.
Beyond that, there are no other effects; all are the wondrous passive enhancements, perfectly suited for a cultivator like him who is proficient in various powerful supernatural abilities.
The compatibility is off the charts!
It can even be further improved in the future, so that it can play the same role in the stages of Dao Integration and Mahayana, at which time it will be a true treasure.
Currently, there's no clue how to improve it.
"After five years of seclusion, it seems that the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Crown is my greatest achievement."
With this thought in mind, he checked his cultivation progress again. Thanks to the Blood God Pill, accumulating mana was no longer a problem. In just five years, he was about to complete the accumulation of the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage.
Once the first ferry is completed, perhaps I can attempt to break through to the next realm; the speed is simply incredible.
After taking full account of all the changes in himself, Wang Yu restored the arrangement of the placement bar to the mode before his seclusion.
Only then did he take out his communication artifact and notify the passengers to gather at the Small Extreme Palace a month later to prepare to replicate the coordinates recorded in the ascension passage, so as not to get lost in the cosmic sea.
Only then did they officially leave the pass.
After tidying his clothes, he waited for Qingqing's arrival. He had sensed her unreserved aura just moments before, when he was taking stock of his gains.
Let's talk about dual cultivation.
He didn't have to wait long. A crimson light, like a wisp of smoke, swiftly landed inside the Yintian Palace, where the alluring and enchanting Lady Qingqing could only watch him longingly.
Why has your hair turned black?
The first thing Qingqing said upon meeting him was about his hair color. Wang Yu touched the soft, black hair that had fallen casually, already aware of the change.
His previous gray hair was initially caused by his lifespan passing too quickly, like a person with a lifespan of a hundred years suddenly having twenty years of life drained away.
Their appearance will resemble that of an old person nearing the end of their life.
This is a sign of a severe loss of the essence of life. Do you think he can still live for another eighty years?
--wrong!
In fact, it would be good if he could live another twenty years. How could there be no consequences from the loss of lifespan? It's just like a dam breaking, causing damage after damage.
That's active combustion, and it can be controlled.
As his cultivation level increased, he gradually recovered, but unfortunately, due to the Corpse Demon Secret Technique, he remained a young man with white hair.
For a time, he regained his black hair because his body refinement breakthrough made up for the lost life essence. Later, he also had the Demonic Embryo Body and cultivated various demonic arts and secret techniques.
This causes the hair color to fluctuate between white and black.
Jump left and right.
This time, also due to body tempering, he had completed six of the nine condensations and six of the nine dispersions of cultivation, and the abundant blood and vitality allowed his black hair to return.
However, the "Undying Nether Dragon Technique" has a special nature. Once this yang energy is completely transformed into yin energy, it will still turn white again.
Black hair does give her a unique charm.
They look younger and more energetic.
Seeing Qingqing staring at him intently, Wang Yu was quite pleased and got down to business.
"Five years ago, I promised you a free passenger spot to ascend to the True Spirit Realm. However... my five years of seclusion have delayed our dual cultivation, and the first batch of passengers is about to depart."
"How about we wait a little longer, cultivate together until we reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and then cross the cosmic sea together and ascend to the True Spirit Realm?"
The practice of dual cultivation is a win-win situation.
This is something both sides tacitly agree to.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed so easily. Besides, Qingqing has been waiting for a thousand years and still hasn't been chosen. If he waits a few more decades to cultivate with him for a while, the gains might not be any less than those from going to the Upper Realm.
only.
That's the logic, but you can't say it so bluntly. Wang Yu still has that much emotional intelligence.
Speaking of this, Qingqing stared at him suspiciously for a while.
He hesitated for a moment before responding.
"It's not impossible... The ascension passage of the Mountain and Sea Realm points to the True Spirit Realm. Although the Demon Star Lineage has a place in the True Spirit Realm, it is only a branch. The real headquarters is in the Demon Cultivation Realm!"
"You are also a demonic cultivator. Why don't we travel together through the True Spirit Realm and take the interdimensional teleportation array to the Demonic Cultivation Realm? What do you think, Brother Wei?"
'The Demon Realm, huh…'
Wang Yu did want to go, just as Qing Qing said. He was a demon cultivator, and no matter how cruel the demon cultivation world was, he had a brighter future wherever he was, and his path to advancement was stable.
The True Spirit Realm is mostly populated by orthodox immortal cultivators who say they don't discriminate against or target demonic cultivators.
Even the rules of the Celestial Palace clearly stipulate that one must not deliberately target or discriminate against someone because of their status as a demonic cultivator.
But if this situation doesn't actually occur, why bother setting rules at all? Every rule has a reason behind it.
He believed that the higher-ups of the Cangmang Immortal Palace truly treated everyone equally. After all, one of the Nine Immortals of the Human Race was a demonic giant who had cultivated to the True Immortal realm. However, what the circle of cultivators in the middle and lower realms was like was truly uncertain.
Qingqing's words also implied a deep connection with him.
There's even a possibility that they might lead him into the Demon Star's lineage, and that they might actually become Daoist partners in the future. They've really taken a liking to him.
However.
Whenever Wang Yu recalled the decree from the True Immortal Xuande that he should join the Tai Xuan Heaven lineage, he knew that he could only go to the True Spirit Realm, so he had little desire to resist.
Because the first emperor of his hometown also became a disciple of this man.
He has already cultivated to the Mahayana realm, and they both came from the Ice Prison Realm. He and the first Human Emperor, now the Azure Blood Dragon Lord, were originally in the same camp. If he could succeed, Wang Yu could too.
It's just following the path of our predecessors and sages. There are successful examples, so there's no need to worry about losing your life. If someone really wanted to mess with him, he would have been killed when he activated the Returning Moon Pupil Technique to cross realms.
on the other hand.
True Immortal Xuande is a cultivator who walks the path of cause and effect; he cannot escape it even if he wants to.
This thought came to mind.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Fellow Daoist Qingqing. My relatives and friends are all in the True Spirit Realm, and the Demon Realm is far too dangerous; I might not be able to come out alive. Therefore..."
"I understand, Brother Wei, there's no need to say more."
Qingqing forced a smile. This was the first time she had ever truly cared for a cultivator. Since they were not destined to be together, then so be it.
These things can't be forced.
"Let's do as Brother Wei arranges. However, I'd like to accompany you on this journey across the Cosmic Sea. Then we can return together, and Brother Wei won't be bored on the way."
Wang Yu paused upon hearing this.
It took him a while to reply.
"good."
…………
…………
The Cosmic Sea was anciently known as "Guixu".
It is a place beyond the world, extremely dangerous. Only cultivators at the Void Refinement stage have the means to survive in the Cosmic Sea for a long time, while cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage can only operate there for a short period of time.
This is because there is no spiritual energy in the cosmic ocean!
It is filled with all kinds of energy storms, some of which are waves caused by the destruction of the world, spreading continuously in the cosmic sea and forming energy shock waves, while others are dangerous places formed by chance.
There are also cracks in the Great Dao caused by battles between powerful beings of all races. There are countless reasons for this, and it is difficult to fully understand the causes.
The vast Immortal Realm is a "floating land" on the cosmic sea.
It has tens of thousands of living beings in the world, but most of the places are actually dead lands, endless darkness and nothingness, where only the Void Beasts wander.
Whenever a new world of life is discovered.
The Celestial Palace would then seize it and use its celestial magic to pull the world into the vast Celestial Realm, continuously increasing the size of the Celestial Realm and raising its upper limit.
The opponent is naturally the myriad races.
There are enemies, allies, and other races that have been related by marriage and enslaved for generations. The demon race is one of the forces that is hostile to the human race, and it also possesses a vast demon realm.
This time, Wang Yu was piloting the Boundary-Opening Divine Ship across the cosmic sea for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Despite the grandiose claims, it's really just ferrying passengers in the relatively safe area of the Vast Immortal Realm. With the Divine Ship around, there shouldn't be any problems.
in this way.
One month later.
The Little Palace once again gathers a multitude of heroes.
