Chapter 733: Artifact Spirit

Actually, Jiang Yi didn’t know that when Gui Ying got this Sky-Turning Cauldron back then, his soul spirit was also connected to it after a short time. Otherwise, with one leg missing, it couldn’t have such a strong effect. It only took Jiang Yi a while to connect to its spirit, which was not because of Jiang Yi’s good luck. It was just that this Sky-Turning Cauldron was really magical.

All the pseudo-divine artifacts had its artifact spirit, which was either the soul spirit of the mighty demonic beast or the goblin in heaven and earth, which was sealed inside the treasures by someone using strong divine skills. The reason why the pseudo-divine artifact was precious and was powerful was mainly because of the artifact spirit.

The artifact spirit was the soul spirit of the treasure, which enabled the treasure to connect to the owner, enhancing the power of the treasure. However, Jiang Yi didn’t know these. When he heard Feng Luan’s scream, he quickly asked, “What is a Spiritual Connecting cardinal treasure?’

Feng Luan wasn’t very clear as well. She only heard some legends about the power of the Spiritual Connecting cardinal treasures, which was said to be the mightiest in the world.

Jiang Yi held the Sky-Turning Cauldron and played it for a while before suddenly standing up and asking people to summon Qian Wanguan back. Then, he let Qian Wanguan look for information on the Spiritual Connecting cardinal treasure. He was not comfortable as long as the background of the treasure was not clear.

Two hours later, Qian Wanguan was back. He walked into Jiang Yi’s room and reported. “Boss, the Hong Clan is indeed a big clan in the White Tiger City and has been in the White Tiger City for 1,000 years. The other man is the Young Master of the Li Clan, which ranked no. 8 among the top ten clans in the White Tiger City and is considered as an important clan, too. The young mistress is the lady of a clan in the White Tiger City, too. I have found out that even though Young Master Hong and Young Master Li are the direct descendants of their clans, they don’t have the power to dispatch any peak-stage Heaven Monarch Realm martial expert.”

Qian Wanguan paused and continued. “Besides that, I found some information on the Spiritual Connecting cardinal treasure. All the pseudo-divine artifacts should have artifact spirit. After the artifact recognizes its owner, it establishes a spiritual connection. Once the Spiritual Connecting cardinal treasure is used, there will be special symbols surrounding it.”

“So that’s how it is!”

Jiang Yi was suddenly enlightened and finally realized why the Sky-Turning Cauldron was so powerful despite the missing leg. He sighed in secret and pondered how powerful the Sky-Turning Cauldron would be if it was complete.

“Oh, the circular cauldron of the strongest combatant of the She Clan must be able to make spiritual connections, too. It also had symbols shining on it, with unimaginable strength!”

Jiang Yi was reminded of the circular cauldron released by the She Clan’s absolute master in the Blood Night Fearsome Sea. Although he already escaped with Heaven Evasion, he was still able to detect the numerous symbols shimmering on the circular cauldron, emitting intimidating aura.

Buzz!

He suddenly clapped his thigh. Fire Cloud Armor appeared, and he infused essence force into it, which radiated with brilliant red light… but with no symbol at all. He looked at Qian Wanguan, perplexed, and asked, “Wanguan, my Fire Cloud Armor is definitely not connected to my soul. Did you find out how to make the pseudo-divine artifact a spiritual artifact?”

“Yes!”

Qian Wanguan shrugged and said, “No one can help you but yourself. It is very easy to establish a spiritual connection with some pseudo-divine artifacts… but difficult with others. Even a god can’t anyhow make them spiritual artifacts. It is a process that requires a long time and good fortune.”

“Oh, that’s a pity.”

Jiang Yi sighed softly. If the Fire Cloud Armor was a spiritual artifact, its defense would be increased by many folds. If he used together with Thunder Fire and divine shield, it would be impossible for any ordinary upper-tier Heaven Monarch to kill him.

“Alright. Never mind. Keep Young Master Hong and his group under close watch. We’ll go back to the Sky Thunder City in three days.”

After letting his mind drifting wild, Jiang Yi waved his hand and asked Qian Wanguan and the others to leave. He began sitting cross-legged on the ground and sensing the Sky-Turning Cauldron meticulously. He had already completely refined the Sky-Turning Cauldron now and was connected to the artifact spirit. This cauldron felt like his own body, at his own disposal.

The artifact spirit was not the real soul spirit, but a sliver of tremor that he was able to detect in this Sky-Turning Cauldron. It felt like a living creature, but he couldn’t communicate with the artifact spirit and was only able to give one-way instructions to it.

After studying it for a while, he put the Sky-Turning Cauldron back to the Ancient Divine Essence Ring and began to study the Fire Cloud Armor. If it was also able to connect to his soul, his defense power would be incredible.

He devoted his heart and soul into the Fire Cloud Armor and entered the state of the Union of Heaven and Man to feel this armor by his heart. He attempted to build connections to the artifact spirit of the Fire Cloud Armor so that it would recognize him as the master, and he would refine it completely.

“The artifact spirit!”

After feeling it for a while, Jiang Yi’s soul spirit suddenly quivered. Vaguely, he detected a sliver of fluctuation inside the Fire Cloud Armor. However, when he wanted to look into it, the trace of fluctuation disappeared into nowhere.

Jiang Yi continued to compose himself and study it with his heart. Unfortunately, after a whole day, he made no progress. He had no choice but to open his eyes and mumbled, “Why is that?”

Feng Luan and the other two knew nothing in this field and couldn’t help him either. They only sat in a circle and whispered quietly. Jiang Yi stood up and took a few rounds in the room before continuing to sit cross-legged and detecting.

Three days, he spent three days in the room. During this time, he felt the artifact spirit of the Fire Cloud Armor for many times. However, every time, it disappeared in a flicker of an eye, with no trace to be found. Qian Wanguan outside the room reported that the Heaven Fate Ship would arrive in one hour. Jiang Yi had to stop now.

“It seems like one needs some luck to establish soul connections with the pseudo-divine artifact. Ahh, I’ll work it out sometime in the future.”

Jiang Yi opened his eyes, rose up, and told Feng Luan, Jiang Xiaonu, and Qing Yu to go out. When seeing Yang Dong and the others fully equipped and ready to set out, he looked at Qian Wanguan and asked, “How’s going with Young Master Hong?”

Qian Wanguan’s eyes were filled with a grave look. He sighed softly and said, “It’s not very good. Two Young Masters have been staying in the castle. People are watching us days and nights outside. Just now, ten people were keeping a watch on the outside, and at least five men on the Heaven Fate Ship, including a mid-tier Heaven Monarch.”

A murderous look flashed by Yang Dong’s eyes, he said coldly, “Let’s kill our way out. Chief Jiang, bring the group and leave first. I’ll bring some men with me to cover you. We’ll be safe once getting on the Heaven Fate Ship.”

“There is no need!”

Jiang Yi smiled and shook his head. “You guys go into the Thearch Palace. Be assured, this bunch of Heaven Monarchs shouldn’t be able to hurt me. It’s an order.”

Yang Dong and his group were just about to say something, but kept quiet after hearing the last sentence. The Thearch Palace glowed on Jiang Yi’s hand, and took everyone in. Jiang Xiaonu also wanted to say Yang Dong and his group were just about to say something, but kept quiet after hearing the last sentence. The Thearch Palace glowed on Jiang Yi’s hand, and took everyone in. Jiang Xiaonu also wanted to ssomething, but Jiang Yi’s face turned dark, she held back the words.

It was still early. Jiang Yi didn’t immediately go out. Instead, he sat cross-legged and released Divine Perception to detect the situation outside the castle. Of course, he didn’t risk probing into other castles recklessly, which might anger the martial experts of the Red Sun Merchant Association.

As expected!

The street was swarmed with people; numerous men gathered at the coast, waiting for the Heaven Fate Ship. A dozen men were lying on ambush nearby, fixing on the castle he was in.

Time ticked by. Jiang Yi spread his Divine Perception and found a giant Heaven Fate Ship piercing the sky several thousand kilometers away. It would probably reach the coast in less than one hour.

He still didn’t stand up and leisurely sat cross-legged in the castle. When the Heaven Fate Ship arrived at the beach, he rose up and walked out.

Swish!

His body surged to the sky, flying rapidly in the opposite direction of the coast. His divine senses spread around. As expected, those men who were watching him all flew to the sky. Young Master Hong and Young Master Li in a castle below rushed to him madly with over 30 men.

“Hur-Hur!”

A black cloak appeared on Jiang Yi’s back. When he injected the essence force, the cloak radiated with black light and fluttered. He suddenly sped up and pierced across the sky. At the same time, his divine senses fixed on Young Master Hong in the distance and sent a voice transmission: “Grandson, how dare you chase after me. Grandfather will let you die without a tomb.”
