Xu Fan looked at the lake and said leisurely: “l won’t be at leisure for much longer. I’ll have to wait for Pang Fu to finish gathering the materials.”
“It’s time to go back to the days and nights of refining artifacts.”
Although Pu Tao can control the puppets to refine treasure artifacts, when it comes to refining Dao materials, he fumbles a bit.
So now, everything related to Dao artifact refining can only be handled by Xu
Fan or the first clone himself.
“First, refine a Dao Artifact level Sky-Based Satellite Weapon, then the Thousand Spirit Sect’s Dao Artifact, Heavenly Patrol Satellite, upgrade the
Sect’s Mountain Guard Array and Gathering Spirits Array.”
“Finally, Ning Dao’s Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword, and then the Hidden Spirit
Island’s mobile giant island plan.”
“All these trivial matters will keep me busy for about ten years.”
Xu Fan simply made a ten-year plan for himself.
Half a month later, Xiang Yun, who was cultivating at his own mountain peak, received a notification to go to the Treasure House to receive spiritual swords. “Is it finally ready?” A glint flashed in Xiang Yun’s eyes.
Ever since he knew that he wouldn’t lack spiritual swords in the future, Xiang Yun had been cultivating the Dao of Sword formation.
Perhaps due to his passion, he had cultivated the Dao of Sword Formation to the same level as his Heart Sword Way in just a short month.
With the addition of krypton gold attribute, he felt that his current cultivation of the sword formation Dao was enough to suppress his previous self. Xiang Yun quickly packed up and flew towards the treasure house on his sword.
At the entrance of the treasure house, Xiang Yun said to the puppet at the door: “1 came to get the spiritual swords given by Elder Xu.”
“Received, please wait a moment.”
The puppet guarding the door summoned the Tool Puppet to fetch things for Xiang Yun without even verifying his identity.
In no time, a Tool Puppet handed a storage bag to Xiang Yun.
“In the storage bag, there are 200 second-tier Water Cold Spirit Swords, 200
Fire Spirit Swords, 200 Wood Spring Spirit Swords, 200 Gold Sharp Spirit
Swords, and 200 Earth Rock Spirit Swords.”
“Please check and accept,” the Tool Puppet said.
Xiang Yun took the storage bag, checked it, and then asked the Tool Puppet, “Why are there so many spiritual swords?”
The Tool Puppet paused for a moment before saying, “This is the minimum output when opening a Spirit Sword production line. If you feel there are too many spirit swords, keep some for backup.”
“When you advance to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages and can’t use them anymore, just return them.”
“Thank you for your explanation.” Xiang Yun knew that the puppet was operated by the Artifact Spirit responsible for maintaining the daily operation of the sect.
“Get stronger quickly and protect the sect.”
After saying these, the Tool Puppet returned to its original dull appearance.
After getting the spiritual swords, Xiang Yun wanted to find a place to test their power, and then he met Xiong Li who just came out of the treasure house.
Xiong Li wore a pair of gauntlets that made him look even more domineering and mighty.
“Xiang Yun, you got new equipment. Want to practice with me?” Xiong Li saw the treasure house’s storage bag in Xiang Yun’s hand, knowing that he had a new magical treasure.
Unlike before, Xiang Yun agreed this time.
“Brother Bear, how about a life and death battle on the illusory stage?” Xiang Yun said with excitement.
Upon hearing Xiang Yun’s words, Xiong Li became excited. There were not many disciples in the sect that could arouse his fighting spirit. Xiang Yun was one of them in the past.
“It seems these new things have given you quite a bit of confidence.” Xiong Li said happily.
Xiang Yun nodded and told Xiong Li about Elder Xu’s order to switch to the cultivation of Sword Formation Dao.
“Actually, I’ve already told you before that Great Master wouldn’t bury any disciple’s talent in the sect.”
“It’s just that you were stubborn before, and didn’t want to cause trouble for the sect.’
“Now it’s fine, you’re on the path you most want to follow.”
“Today, to celebrate your official turn to the Dao of Sword Formation, I’ll bet you a thousand points that as long as we tie, these points will be yours.”
“If you lose, just treat me to a big meal in the sect’s dining hall.” Xiong Li said boldly.
“What if I win?” Xiang Yun asked with a smile.
“Ten thousand points.” Xiong Li said, thinking he couldn’t possibly lose. Xiang Yun wasn’t even a little silver coin worthy of playing with.
“Deal.’
At the Hidden Spirit Sect’s Trial Tower, as Xiong Li and Xiang Yun decided to have a life and death battle on the illusory stage, more and more sect disciples began to gather here.
It could be said that besides those who were in closed-door cultivation, all the other disciples were present.
“Real men, 100% pain sensation, they’re really brave.”
“Although Xiang Yun is fierce, how can he have the confidence to challenge Xiong Li? Isn’t this suicide?”
“Senior Brother Xiang Yun is not stupid, he must have his own reliance. Did he recently start playing with cannons?”
A group of onlookers, including Xu Fan watching the live broadcast, were present.
“Let’s see how strong you are with the added krypton gold attribute.” Xu Fan said, looking at Xiang Yun preparing through the light curtain.
Xiong Li and Xiang Yun entered their respective Soul Illusion Realm arrays.
The heaven and earth transformed, and in a moment, the two of them appeared on a flat mountain top that had been cut in half.
Wearing his newly exchanged gauntlets, Xiong Li clenched his fists and made a banging sound.
“Xiang Yun, come on, let me see if you’ve made any progress!”
“Let’s see if you can break my Gang Qi true body!’
Xiong Li said, setting his body ablaze with spiritual power flames. A 5-meter-high Gang Qi true body appeared, with a pair of red eyes full of fighting spirit. “Well, today, let me show you.”
“Formation, rise!”
In an instant, Xiang Yun summoned 36 spiritual swords of one attribute, for a total of 180 five-element spiritual swords appeared in the sky, sealing off the entire mountaintop.
“Interesting, I’ve never fought a cultivator of the Sword Formation Dao before.’
Xiong Li threw a punch towards Xiang Yun in the distance. A massive Gang Qi fist print smashed towards Xiang Yun.
‘Sword Formation: Shield’
The sword array in the sky began to transform, with the earth attribute spirit swords and water attribute spirit swords instantly forming a sword array to protect Xiang Yun.
Xiang Yun then used his fingers as sword commands, directing the sword array to attack Xiong Li.
“Sword Formation: Merge”
In the sky, the gold attribute spirit swords and fire attribute spirit swords began to gather and transform.
With the gold attribute spirit swords forming the sword tip and blade, and fire attribute spirit swords forming the sword body, they turned into a hundred-meter giant sword that slashed towards Xiong Li.
“Well done! ”
Xiong Li’s fists were immediately enveloped in a chill, striking at the giant sword in the sky.
‘Boom~~’
The shockwaves from the collision swept across the entire mountaintop.
Xiong Li’s punch collided with Xiang Yun’s shield.
A layer of water shield and a layer of earth shield directly blocked this powerful punch.
Xu Fan, who was watching the live broadcast, gave it a thumbs up.
“Not bad, it has that flavor,” Xu Fan said.
However, soon after, the next punch from Xiong Li sent him flying.
‘Bang
Xiang Yun was directly knocked off the platform on the top of the mountain, and the sword array quickly spun, holding onto Xiang Yun’s figure.
“Xiang Yun, not bad, you almost broke my Gang Qi True Body,” Xiong Li said, looking at Xiang Yun, who had stabilized his figure in mid-air.
“Brother Bear, it’s not over yet, this is just the beginning,” Xiang Yun said, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“Then let’s continue to fight.”
Xiang Yun cast a Water Mist Sword Formation, covering the entire battlefield.
Various attack- type formations then began to madly bombard Xiong Li.
Upon seeing this, Xu Fan closed the live broadcast. His purpose for watching the live broadcast was not to see the power of the sword array but to see if Xiang Yun could manage a breakthrough and comprehend the attack sword arrays of three different attributes.
“l shouldn’t always use my standards to demand others, I shouldn’t have such high expectations.”
The first batch of materials purchased by Pang Fu has been delivered.
So far, the materials required to refine the Dao Artifact Heavenly base weapon satellite have been collected.
In the underground space, the massive refining room, Xu Fan began to concentrate and compose himself, a necessary step when refining important magical treasures.
Stupid was standing next to Xu Fan, solemnly waiting for him to complete the Dao Artifact refining process.
Two hours later, Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes.
Five clusters of spirit fire ignited from the void around Xu Fan, then merged into one, transforming into a Five-Colored Spirit Fire.
Subsequently, various spiritual materials appeared beside Xu Fan.
“Senior Brother Sha, refining this Dao Artifact will take half a year, are you ready?” Xu Fan said while controlling the Five-Colored Spirit Fire, speaking to Stupid.
Everyone in the sect had been notified that Xu Fan would be in the refining state for the next ten years.
“Understood, I’m all prepared,” Stupid said excitedly. As an artifact refiner encountering a bottleneck, observing the refinement process of a higher-level artifact refiner is the best way to break through one’s current realm.
Generally, in the cultivation world, artifact refiners do not allow others to be present while they are refining, except for their closest master and disciple relationships.
Xu Fan picked up a piece of Sky Extreme Magnetite and began tempering it.
The battle between Xiong Li and Xiang Yun lasted for a day, and in the end, they reached the time limit and were automatically kicked out of the Soul Illusion Realm by the Trial Tower.
Xiong Li and Xiang Yun, both supporting each other, walked out of the Trial Tower, with many disciples already waiting outside for a long time.
“Brother Bear, I’ve just seen your true strength today, and it’s amazing.”
“Senior Brother Xiang Yun, I didn’t expect you to be so powerful in the Dao of
Sword Formation that you actually fought Brother Bear to a draw.”
“Senior Brother Xiang Yun, from now on, I have another idol.”
As soon as the two of them came out of the Trial Tower, they were greeted by flattering voices from the people around them.
“Xiang Yun Junior fellow, it seems that I won’t be able to keep the title of the sect’s First Combat Strength in the future,” Xiong Li said to Xiang Yun, who was supporting him.
“Haha, Brother Bear, you’re just joking. You didn’t even use your full strength in the end.’
“I could clearly see that you wanted to use your Big Move in the end, but you didn’t. Did you want to keep it as a trump card?”
“So, in a real life and death battle, I would have lost long ago,” Xiang Yun said with a smile.
Xiang Yun then spoke loudly to the surrounding senior and junior fellow apprentices, “Brother Bear said that if it’s a draw, he’d treat us all to a meal in the sect cafeteria.’
“Hurry up and thank Brother Bear.”
The surrounding disciples immediately boiled over. Although the sect cafeteria’s free food was delicious, the dishes bought with points were even more delectable, and they were good for cultivation as well.
“Yay! Thank you, Brother Bear.” “Brother Bear is mighty!’
“Brother Bear, you are my idol.”
The surrounding disciples cheered and flew towards the sect’s dining hall.
Xu Fan, who was refining, nodded after knowing the result of the battle and said, “As expected, it’s not a surprise..”
