Divine King of Honour-Chapter 694: Refining the Spiritual Artifact
Xu Nian had only discovered this not long ago.
Practicing under the Seven-colored Bodhi Tree seemed to quickly elevate the realm of his soul.
This brought immense joy to Xu Nian.
With his soul level now broken through, Xu Nian was also able to forge Spiritual Weapon Level armaments.
Although this world restricted his own Spiritual Cultivation, it did not limit his Soul Cultivation.
Thus, Xu Nian's breakthrough in Soul Cultivation came logically and without the slightest obstacle.
"I wonder what scale of weapon the Sect Master plans to forge?" The Great Elder approached from a distance, his face revealing a chuckle-like smile.
Although he knew Xu Nian possessed an extraordinary talent.
The path of Artifact Refining required diligence in practice.
So he didn't think Xu Nian would have any significant breakthroughs in Artifact Refining.
At most, he could only forge armaments of a peculiar metal level.
As for the quality, it certainly wouldn't be too high.
"I'm going to forge a Spiritual Artifact," Xu Nian said with a smile.
"What?" The Great Elder even doubted whether his ears had misheard.
The people around them all looked at Xu Nian with faces full of surprise.
"I plan to forge a Spiritual Artifact," Xu Nian repeated, still smiling.
The Great Elder was suddenly stunned, blankly staring at Xu Nian for a full minute.
"Wait a moment, I'll inform all the disciples in the institute to gather here. The Sect Master forging a Spiritual Artifact is an event not to be missed," the Great Elder said, immediately turning on his heels to run.
Though he no longer had both arms, his cultivation remained intact.
Seeing this scene, Granny Xu's eyes also revealed a hint of surprise.
Xu Nian, on the other hand, was sweating profusely.
He was merely trying, without certainty of whether he could succeed or not.
If he failed in the presence of all the Sect disciples, wouldn't it be incredibly embarrassing?
However, seeing the Great Elder's level of excitement,
Xu Nian found it difficult to object.
In the present Tianhen Continent, forging a Spiritual Artifact
was utterly impossible.
Constrained by the heavens and the earth, one's cultivation could not reach the Zifu Realm.
And thus, Artifact Refiners naturally couldn't produce the terrifying flames needed to melt Divine Iron.
So when they heard Xu Nian was preparing to forge a Spiritual Artifact, their first reaction was disbelief.
However, thinking of Xu Nian's continuous creation of miracles,
they still chose to believe in Xu Nian.
Soon, the Great Elder had gathered all the disciples of the Artifact Refining Sect.
Upon hearing that the Sect Master was preparing to refine an artifact, and moreover a Spiritual Artifact,
these people swarmed over in droves.
And so, the entire square quickly filled with people.
The crowd was abuzz with discussions, clearly about Xu Nian forging the Spiritual Artifact.
"The Sect Master is planning to forge a Spiritual Artifact? I'm not hearing things, am I? How is it possible to forge a Spiritual Artifact on the Tianhen Continent?"
"Yeah, the Tianhen Continent is under heaven and earth's suppression; it's utterly impossible to break through to the Zifu Realm. So how can he refine a Spiritual Artifact?"
"Hey, don't forget, how did the Sect Master refine artifacts in the first place? His method of Artifact Refining seems completely different from ours, maybe he really can forge a Spiritual Artifact?"
"But what about the flames? Can the Sect Master produce flames capable of melting Divine Iron?"
...
The disciples of the Artifact Refining Sect below were all talking at once.
Some agreed with Xu Nian's approach to refining, but most harbored doubts.
However, even with their doubts, it definitely did not affect the exalted image of Xu Nian in their minds.
"Sister, do you think the Sect Master can really forge a Spiritual Artifact?" Yann Xi asked Yann Hong.
"It's hard to say. The Sect Master is always full of surprises, which you should know too. Maybe he really can create a miracle and become the first person in the history of our Artifact Refining Sect to forge a Spiritual Artifact," Yann Hong replied.
Upon hearing this, Yann Xi nodded her head.
Indeed, each time they thought something was unachievable by others,
Xu Nian ultimately accomplished it.
Xu Nian found the discussions below quite amusing.
However, he did have one real issue.
That was the problem of the flame.
Flames capable of melting Divine Iron were not easy to find.
But Xu Nian already had a plan in mind.
"Senior Wentian, may I borrow some fire?" Xu Nian asked the Wentian Demon Sovereign.
He was certain that the Wentian Demon Sovereign must possess flames that could melt Divine Iron.
"Boy, you sure know how to calculate, aiming for the soul fire of my life essence. But are you sure you can withstand it?" the voice of the Wentian Demon Sovereign rang out.
"I can!"
Xu Nian responded immediately.
"Alright then, boy, catch." Wentian Demon Sovereign said.
A stream of black flames then surged out from his storage ring.
Immediately after, everyone saw a ball of black flames erupt from the palm of Xu Nian's hand.
Xu Nian looked at the flames on his palm, with a trace of joy appearing on his face.
But soon, the corners of Xu Nian's mouth began to twitch.
The terrifying flames caused his skin to burn with intense pain.
If this continued, his whole hand might burn to a crisp.
"Boy, I told you my soul fire is terrifying. What I've given you is already a weakened version of my soul fire. I advise you to give up," Wentian Demon Sovereign's voice echoed in Xu Nian's mind.
The surrounding disciples also showed signs of horror.
The terrifying temperature of the flames genuinely frightened them.
"Hum!"
Xu Nian immediately activated his Dragon Scale Blood Armor.
With the emergence of the Dragon Scale Blood Armor, Xu Nian felt much better.
Furthermore, the Dragon Energy from the Ice Frost Giant Dragon strengthened him.
Finally, Xu Nian could withstand the intense temperature of the terrifying flames.
"Boy, not bad, you actually managed to deal with the temperature of my soul fire. But controlling it might be a bit difficult, right?" Wentian Demon Sovereign's voice continued to resonate in Xu Nian's mind.
However, Xu Nian just smiled slightly and directly controlled the black flames with the power of his Spiritual Sense, freely changing their shape.
Wentian Demon Sovereign was taken aback.
It then dawned on him that Xu Nian's soul had been strengthened by the Wordless Heavenly Scripture.
The crowd around him watched as Xu Nian deftly manipulated the flames, each of them showing surprised expressions.
Could it be that the Sect Master really could refine a Spiritual Artifact?
"Hum!"
Xu Nian flicked his sleeve.
A Spiritual Hammer appeared in front of him.
Indeed, this Spiritual Hammer was the Thunder Hammer he had acquired from the Eighth Prince.
Originally, this Thunder Hammer was a Low Grade Spirit Artifact.
Now, Xu Nian's goal was to smelt down this Thunder Hammer and refashion it into a hammer suitable for himself.
Of course, Xu Nian also had a very important piece of artifact refining material.
This artifact refining material was the real reason he wanted to smelt down the Thunder Hammer.
"Hum!"
Xu Nian flicked his sleeve again.
A bead then appeared before everyone's eyes.
As soon as the bead appeared, everyone immediately felt an intense cold.
This cold swept across the entire plaza instantly.
Even the heavens and earth were affected by the terrifying cold, and snowflakes even began to drift down from the sky.
Everyone retreated, their bodies shivering uncontrollably.
"What... what on earth is this? How can it have such terrifying low temperature? Could it be the Sect Master wants to meld this bead into his weapon? How terrifying would that be?"
Everyone was shocked, murmuring to themselves.
Xu Nian merely smiled slightly.
That was exactly his intention!
