Gao Xian had never seen a seventh-rank Heavenly Sovereign in action, and he had no idea how powerful an eighth-rank Heavenly Sovereign was. But he believed that the Nine Provinces Tripod was at least eighth-rank, and even ninth-rank was not surprising.
Wiping out the cracks in the void and splitting the heavens, such magical power is too amazing! If such a powerful Jiuzhou Ding wants to give him benefits, he must take it!
However, he also has to strike a balance.
If he asked for too little, he would waste this precious opportunity. If he asked for too much, he would appear too greedy and leave a bad impression on Jiuzhou Ding.
Sister Bai said that Jiuzhou Ding has a serious and old-fashioned personality. You can talk less when talking to him, but you can't tell lies.
Jiuzhou Ding just said that he is clear about rewards and punishments.
He also specifically emphasized "a hundred years of hard work", which is also a reminder. Although he has not made any achievements in the past hundred years, he has also worked hard.
The key is what is this hard work worth?
Jiuzhou Ding doesn't give him a direct reward, but is testing him?
Gao Xian has lived in this world for more than a thousand years, and has become more savvy. When facing the Jiuzhou Ding, he couldn't help but think a lot.
But he really couldn't grasp the right balance in this matter.
It was like Jiuzhou Ding gave him a composition topic, he could write whatever he wanted, without any restrictions. It was precisely because there were no restrictions that he felt embarrassed.
If it is a multiple-choice question, you can make judgments based on your experience and wisdom.
Gao Xian thought again and realized that if he didn't understand, he could ask. It's actually taboo to speculate on such things.
Jiuzhou Ding is a person of upright and serious character, so there should be no problem if he asks for advice respectfully.
Gao Xian bowed to Jiuzhou Ding and said solemnly, "Senior, I want a lot of things. But I don't know what you can give me."
Jiuzhou Ding looked deeply at Gao Xian with his golden eyes. In an instant, Gao Xian felt as if he had been stripped naked and all his privacy was completely exposed.
Then he was thrown into an ice cave, feeling chilled from the outside to the inside.
Fortunately, Sister Lan and the Mirror of Love and Lust were hidden in the deepest part of his soul, condensed with the origin of his soul and memory into an impenetrable point, and were not disturbed by these external observations.
Jiuzhou Ding had no intention of prying into Gao Xian's memory. He just took a look at Gao Xian's current state of practice and various situations.
"With your current level of cultivation, I will give you three choices."
"First, I will help you fuse the Pojun Star Mirror and the Tiansha Star Sword. Your Pojun Star Mirror is at a very high level and cannot be further improved. By integrating it with the Tiansha Star Sword, which is the black and red nine-pointed star, the Pojun Star Mirror can break through its current level."
Gao Xian was surprised and happy. Uncle Jiu was so thoughtful. He gave him the choice directly. This made things easy.
He refined the Pojun Star Sword to the perfect master level. According to his own feeling, its restriction level had reached the sixth stage of excellence.
If you can break through the current level, that means you have been promoted to the seventh level!
There is just one problem. The Tianshaxing Sword gathers evil energy, and this thing is likely to cause a lot of trouble after fusion.
He can't just look at the benefits, he also has to see the negative effects of this thing.
Jiuzhou Ding added: "The second option is that I will extract the changes of the restriction of the Golden Light Blade that spreads across all directions without hindrance and interruption, and integrate it into your natal sword. Although it is not enough to upgrade the level of your sword, it can increase the power of the sword. It is enough to use at the sixth level."
Gao Xian's eyes lit up. This is good!
Most of Hai Yuqiong's abilities lie in the Infinite Golden Light Heavenly Blade, and its most fundamental transformation is that it spreads across the ten directions without hindrance or interruption.
If he could integrate these two changes into the Five Elements Wuji Sword, it would be enough to allow him to move freely in the sixth level.
He also noticed the wording of Jiuzhou Ding. This kind of fusion cannot improve the rank of the sword. However, the fusion of Pojun Xingxing Sword and Tiansha Xingjian can improve the rank!
One is at level six at most, while the other can be upgraded to level seven!
There is a huge difference between the two.
Jiuzhou Ding gave two choices, and the difference could not be so big. Therefore, the fusion of Pojun Star Sword and Tiansha Star Sword must have consequences.
Faced with two choices, one safe but conservative, the other radical but powerful, Gao Xian hesitated.
"There is a third option. You can fuse the North Star Ring in your hand with the Universal Golden Wheel."
Jiuzhou Ding said: "The two instruments are quite compatible. After fusion, if you refine them well, you will have a chance to upgrade to the seventh level, or even higher. But your cultivation method is not compatible with the two instruments, so the chance of upgrading is slim..."
Gao Xian understood that the third option was actually the safest one, as it retained the hope of upgrading his rank without any future troubles.
The biggest problem is that his main secret method has nothing to do with star power. Pojun Star God Sword is refined with sword intent, and although it also uses star power, the approach is completely different.
His cultivation path has been fixed, and there is absolutely no way he would change it for the sake of a magical artifact.
The Jiuzhou Ding is called a magic weapon, but in this person's eyes, none of them are qualified to be called divine weapons. This includes the subtle difference in the names.
The Infinite Golden Light Sky Blade became the Golden Light Blade. Without all the modifiers, this artifact sounds ordinary...
Gao Xian weighed the pros and cons and quickly made a decision. He clasped his hands towards the Jiuzhou Ding and said, "Senior, I choose the second one. I will use the sword to fuse the golden blade."
This choice is a bit conservative, but it is the most suitable for him.
If the power of the natal sword is increased, the Taiyuan Divine Appearance will also rise. Besides, just because the fusion cannot increase the rank of the sword this time, it does not mean that there will be no chance to break through the sixth-rank limit in the future.
In order to deal with Bei Ming Dao Zun, swords are also the best choice.
Who knows what will happen if the Pojun Star Sword and the Tiansha Star Sword are fused together. If the level is raised too high, it will be difficult for him to control it.
This may not be a good thing for him.
Jiuzhou Ding nodded slightly. He knew Gao Xian would definitely choose the second one, which was in line with Gao Xian's cautious character. Gao Xian would only be aggressive within the scope of his ability and control, and he would not easily take risks for uncertain things.
Jiuzhou Ding waved at Gao Xian, and the Five Elements Wuji Sword on Gao Xian's waist turned into cold light and flew into the air. The Infinite Golden Light Sky Blade hidden deep in the North Pole Emperor Star Divine Seal also turned into golden light and flew out.
Gao Xian was shocked. The Five Elements Wuji Sword was his natal sword, and it was taken away by the Jiuzhou Ding just like that. He had no power to resist.
Even though the Infinite Golden Light Sky Blade was forcibly taken out from the Divine Seal of the North Pole Emperor Star, it was nothing compared to forcibly seizing his natal sword.
Jiuzhou Ding picked up the Five Elements Wuji Sword with his broad palm. He was nine feet tall with long limbs, and the Five Elements Wuji Sword looked very small in his hand.
He grabbed the Infinite Golden Light Sky Blade with his other hand and clenched it, and the golden jade ruler melted into a ball of crystal golden light.
Jiuzhou Ding grabbed the ball of golden light and wiped it on the Five Elements Wuji Sword. The golden light turned into countless fine golden runes and merged into the deep of the sword blade.
When the golden light was completely integrated into the sword, Jiuzhou Ding snapped his fingers, and the four-foot sword blade vibrated and emitted bursts of sword sounds.
The sound of the sword was even a little shrill, which made Gao Xian feel a little unhappy. He cherished his life sword the most, but Jiuzhou Ding treated it so roughly...
Gao Xian just muttered to himself, but of course he didn't dare to say anything.
To be honest, he was more shocked at this moment! Even someone as strong as Bai Yujing had to decompose the artifacts, and then gradually refine and reassemble them.
Uncle Jiu's work seemed so rough and casual. He took it in his hands and kneaded it twice, and it seemed that it was almost done? !
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Jiuzhou Ding sprayed a mouthful of cyan-gold Yuanqi at the trembling sword, and the originally shrill sword sound suddenly became clear and long, with an indescribable spiritual and pleasant sound...
Without waiting for Gao Xian to speak, Jiuzhou Ding flicked his hand and the re-refined Five Elements Wuji Sword turned into a ray of cold light and flew into the Longyuan scabbard.
"Okay."
Gao Xian suppressed the urge to draw his sword and inspect it. He bowed respectfully to the Jiuzhou Ding and said, "Thank you, senior."
"This is what you deserve. You're welcome." Jiuzhou Ding waved his hand. Gao Xian was guarding the door for him, so he helped Gao Xian out. It was reasonable and they didn't owe each other anything.
Gao Xian thought for a moment and asked carefully, "I have nothing to do in the past hundred years, so I am willing to serve you."
Opportunities are something you have to fight for yourself. Gao Xian decided to give it a try. What if it works? If it doesn't, it doesn't matter. If the employees want to work actively, how can the boss be dissatisfied? Jiuzhou Ding certainly knew what Gao Xian wanted. He said, "There is indeed something I need you to do. But you have to wait until the Jiuzhou Dharma Assembly is over."
Without waiting for Gao Xian to speak, Jiuzhou Ding flicked his long sleeves, and the space turned over and the light and shadow shone. Although Gao Xian could sense the changes in the surrounding void, he did not dare to move.
In an instant, the light and shadow condensed again, and Gao Xian and Qinnan had returned to the Xuanming Hall.
Taoist Xuanyang on Zhongyang Mountain sensed something and glanced at Gao Xian from afar. Gao Xian sensed the old man's gaze and smiled and bowed.
Taoist Xuanyang knew that Gao Xian had gone to Xuanhuangtian, and he didn't ask any further questions.
Now Gao Xian has achieved the sixth level of enlightenment, and his cultivation is not much worse than his. He must respect Gao Xian's privacy.
Gao Xian took Qiniang back to Jingxing Palace first. Qiniang didn't know the situation in Taiyi Palace, and she didn't know how she came back.
Gao Xian and Qiniang gave a brief explanation and asked Qiniang to go and rest first.
After practicing in Xuanhuangtian for a hundred years, Qi Niang's cultivation reached its peak, and her mental state was actually fine. However, this long-term practice was still too boring, and she still needed some time to adapt to the normal world.
After settling Qiniang, Gao Xian drew out the Five Elements Wuji Sword. The appearance of the sword did not change at all, but the rune restrictions at the center of the sword had completely changed.
As his natal sword, the Five Elements Wuji Sword had an extremely close connection with him. With the sword in hand, Gao Xian naturally knew the various changes in the core of the sword.
Originally, he and the sword had a close and spiritual connection, but now the sword was moving very sluggishly, mainly because the central restriction of the sword had undergone tremendous changes.
Gao Xian activated the sword intent, and the sword resonated, but the circulation of the sword energy was particularly sluggish.
He put away the sword. It seemed that it would take at least thirty to fifty years to refine the sword again and reach the state of unity of mind and body.
This problem will naturally occur when a sword is violently modified to have its central restriction. This is not the same as using the Longyuan scabbard to refine a sword.
Gao Xian thought for a while and decided to go find Sister Bai to ask about the situation.
Sister Bai seems to be very familiar with the Jiuzhou Ding and should be able to give him an explanation.
In the Thirteenth Heaven Hall, Gao Xian bowed respectfully to Bai Yujing.
"Senior, there is something I don't understand..."
Gao Xian told the story of Taiyi Palace again. He finally asked, "Senior Jiuzhou Ding, your method of refining magic tools is so amazing?"
Bai Yujing glanced at Gao Xian and said calmly: "He is Jiuzhou Ding. Whether it is alchemy or refining, he is the best in the human world. It is easy for him to transform a sixth-level artifact."
"Ah, I see."
Gao Xian was very surprised that Jiuzhou Ding actually had such a power. He turned a little excited. He was now an acquaintance of Uncle Jiu. He could ask Uncle Jiu for help in the future! Gao Xian asked again: "Senior, I got the Wanxiang Golden Wheel and Tiansha Star Sword in Jiuyao Palace. Will there be any problems if Tiansha Star Sword is integrated into Pojun Star God Mirror?"
Bai Yujing was silent for a while before saying, "The Heavenly Evil Star Sword is extremely evil and dark, and is a very powerful killing weapon. However, this thing will naturally gather evil energy, which is quite a hindrance to cultivators. You have to think about this matter carefully..."
After seeing Gao Xian off, Bai Yujing thought for a while and flicked his finger. A huge water mirror appeared out of thin air. Light and shadow flashed inside the water mirror, and the tall and majestic figure of Jiuzhou Ding appeared.
"Fellow Daoist, do you want to use a talented person?" Bai Yujing did not beat around the bush. She and Jiuzhou Ding were very familiar with each other, and neither of them liked polite nonsense.
"Yes." Jiuzhou Ding answered very directly.
"The Tianshaxing Sword is still too dangerous." Bai Yujing said.
"The world is changing suddenly, and following the rules will not save humanity. The Evil Star is not in the Golden Book of Creation, this is the real opportunity." Jiuzhou Ding said in a deep voice.
Bai Yujing was silent...
