Liu Ming was sitting cross-legged in the center of the starlight array, surrounding by dense starlights.
In front of him, a white flame dissipated, revealing a 2 feet long small golden sword body.
“It’s done!”
Looking at the sword embryo body floating in front of him, Liu Ming was overjoyed. This was the first time he successfully forged the sword embryo body.
Speaking of it, the difficulty of forging this sword embryo body really surprised Liu Ming.
Fortunately, he could try repeatedly in the illusion. Otherwise, it was almost impossible for ordinary people to succeed at 1 time.
Even if everything went well in the front part, if the final heat control had a slight mistake, one could only forge a defective product that could be used to infuse the sword embryo spirit which would greatly reduce the power of the final true spirit flying sword.
After Liu Ming smiled slightly, he closed his eyes and left the illusion again.
In a blink of an eye, 3 more months passed.
After forging more than a hundred times, Liu Ming now had a 60% success rate; the failures were only due to his own carelessness.
After half a year, Liu Ming had already mastered the skills to forge the sword embryo body very well. Although it was not guaranteed to be 100% successful, the success rate was about 90%.
On this day, he was sitting cross-legged in the cave house’s secret room, and the sound transmission disk array on his waist suddenly trembled.
Liu Ming opened his eyes, took out the disk array, and launched a symbol at it. Jin Tianci’s sound immediately came from the disk array.
“The night after 3 days is the day when the star power is the strongest, I hope Brother Liu can be prepared for it.”
“It seems that success or failure lies in this 1 attempt.” After Liu Ming murmured to himself, he closed the disk array and closed his eyes again.
In the following time, he did not enter the mysterious space again, but he quietly meditated and adjusted his breath, hoping to restore his mental power and spiritual power to the best state.
In the afternoon 3 days later, Liu Ming checked everything in the Sumeru Ring. After confirming that it was all enough, he flew toward the place they previously found.
An hour later, Liu Ming once again came to the deserted mountain peak. Jin Tianci was sitting quietly on the rock beside the array. Seeing his arrival, Jin Tianci stood up with a slight smile.
“Thanks Brother Jin for guarding this spot for the past 6 months.” Liu Ming said with a fist to Jin Tianci after falling from the black cloud.
“It’s fine; this place is quite quiet. I seem to learn something by watching the sky every day for half a year.” Jin Tianci waved his hand and said indifferently.
“It’s dusk now. It looks like there are about 2 more hours left before the stars come. We just have to wait a little longer.” Jin Tianci looked at the gloomy sky in the distance and said with confidence.
Liu Ming naturally had no objection, so he immediately found an empty space and sat cross-legged.
The sky gradually dimmed, and the starlight in the sky gradually appeared; 2 hours passed by in a flash.
Liu Ming squinted and looked up at the starry sky.
From his perspective, the stars that almost cover the entire night sky; it was not comparable by the scene half a year ago. The stars were even more bright than the illusion of the Illusive Demonic Pupil.
This Jin Tianci’s mastery of the star position deduction was obviously not as simple as the so-called “rough understanding” as he said.
At this moment, Jin Tianci’s words interrupted Liu Ming’s thoughts.
“Brother Liu, it’s almost time now.”
“Then let’s start now.” Liu Ming regained his thought.
Jin Tianci walked to the side of the array, waved his sleeve, and motioned Liu Ming to enter.
After Liu Ming nodded, he strode into the center of the array, sat cross-legged, took out the forging materials and placed them on the ground.
On the other hand, Jin Tianci made gestures with both hands, launching several golden symbols at the flags around. The flags were brightened up with a faint golden light 1 by 1.
After activating more than half of the formation flags, Jin Tianci’s complexion suddenly changed slightly. It seemed that there was something wrong with it. He calculated slightly, then he pointed in a certain direction. A formation flag trembled slightly; it was uprooted and inserted again into the ground about half an inch away.
At the same time, the crystal light radiated by the array seemed to be a little more dazzling.
Seeing this, Liu Ming showed a hint of surprise, but then his expression had remained calm.
Jin Tianci launched several symbols at the array; all 36 flags flashed with a faint golden light.
He raised his hand and pointed toward the sky, and strands of invisible light immediately gathered toward the array.
Above the array, dense crystal lights emerged.
Liu Ming’s complexion changed slightly. The density of the starlight was much thicker than he saw in the illusion. When he controlled the flame of the star power, he had to be cautious.
So after taking a deep breath, he skillfully took out the meteorite gold essence from the jade box. After making gestures, the starlights were condensed into the white star power flame. He began to refine the impurities.
In less than an hour, the impurities had almost been refined. Liu Ming quickly added the auxiliary materials and smelted them together.
Whether it was smelting the sword embryo material or controlling the star flame, Liu Ming’s movements were unhurried; he looked very composed.
After all, he had simulated hundreds of times in illusion.
Jin Tianci was shocked seeing this.
After another hour, in the array, a cluster of white flame became more and more condensed; it was about 10 meters in diameter.
Within the white flame, a cluster of faint golden phantasm kept expanding and shrinking as if it would explode at any time.
Liu Ming had a dignified look. Even his forehead was sweaty right now. He kept changing gestures to launch waves of symbols at the white flame, maintaining the golden phantasm within a certain limit.
Suddenly, he groaned and launched a dozen of colorful symbols; a dazzling golden light shot out from the white flame.
“Bang!“
The white flame collapsed, and a golden sword embryo was suspended in it, still absorbing the energy of the surrounding starlights.
Compared with the sword embryo body forged in the illusion, this sword embryo body was 2 feet and 8 inches which was longer by almost half.
Liu Ming was delighted.
According to the ancient records, the larger the completed sword embryo body, the more amazing its potential after being infused to forge a true spirit flying sword.
“Congratulations, Brother Liu!” Jin Tianci looked at the sword embryo body a few times, revealing a thoughtful look.
“I can successfully forge this sword embryo body thanks to Brother Jin’s help. I have already finished using the array, I hope I didn’t delay Brother Jin’s usage of this array.
Liu Ming smiled and waved 1 hand.
The golden sword embryo spun in the air before falling slowly into a box that was prepared earlier.
Only then did Liu Ming strode out of the array.
“Brother Liu is able to forge the sword embryo body in just 2 hours, this is really out of my expectation. Then, it will be my turn to use this array next.” Jin Tianci replied with a smile.
After that, after a flash of his figure, he appeared in the center of the array. He made a strange gesture with both hands, closed his eyes and began chanting.
The next moment, a strange scene appeared!
Numerous golden runes emerged from Jin Tianci’s body, and his entire body became dazzling. He was like a golden fireball that illuminated the surrounding.
The dense white crystal light around the array began to slowly rotate around Jin Tianci, and the speed became faster and faster.
In less than 10 minutes, the white starlight turned faster and faster to a point that Liu Ming couldn’t catch up. Looking from a distance, it made him have the illusion of stars surrounding the sun.
Liu Ming couldn’t help being surprised.
Suddenly, after all the starlights spun, they turned into light streams that surged into Jin Tianci’s body.
Seeing this scene, the shock on Liu Ming’s face could no longer be hidden.
Jin Tianci actually used some kind of mystic art to direct absorb star power with his body.
Liu Ming was very clear about the energy contained in this starlight. Meteorite gold essence, a nearly indestructible material, could even be smelted by the flame it formed. General cultivators simply couldn’t withstand such a huge amount of energy.
At this moment, the golden light cluster in the array disappeared, revealing Jin Tianci’s figure again.
At this time, strange golden spirit patterns appeared on the young man in a golden robe; his aura also soared wildly.
After a few seconds, when Liu Ming scanned Jin Tianci with Divine Thought again, he had reached the level of Crystallization Period. His aura was still rising at an incredible speed.
Liu Ming was stunned immediately.
After a while, Jin Tianci, who was covered with golden spirit patterns, had reached the intermediate stage of the Crystallization Period. Waves of powerful spiritual pressures dispersed wantonly.
After another 10 minutes, the spiritual power fluctuations of Jin Tianci finally calmed down.
Liu Ming discovered that the young man in a golden robe had reached the level of Pseudo Pellet State, and he was only half a step away from the Real Pellet State.
Previously, he was just a Condensation Period cultivator.
