Chapter 998 - Artifact Formation (2)

Compared to the refined state of the artifact spirit, the improvement of the Mountain Monarch Seal’s body was much easier.

Of course, this was also because Yang Junshan possessed a complete Dao Realm Stone Demon.

Apart from the spirit of the artifact, the most important part of the artifact spirit’s ascension was the process of fusing with a cultivator’s primordial spirit. This process was also an essential part of a life treasure, and the degree of fusing would often determine the power of the life treasure.

At the same time, this kind of magic treasure that could be highly fused with a cultivator’s origin soul was also a different kind of magic treasure from other magic treasures.

And at this moment, Yang Junshan’s primordial spirit was currently undergoing a process. When the original quality of the Mountain Monarch Seal had completely risen to the Dao-rank, the completion of the fusion of the primordial spirit would almost mean that the Mountain Monarch Seal had completely stepped into the ranks of the daoyin apparatus.

At the same time, the cultivators outside the oven room who had always wanted to take a look at the refining process of the Eight Treasures Daoist was finally able to discover that the oven room’s protective barrier seemed to have weakened a lot after being excluded by the protective barrier placed down by Yang Junshan several times. Although the strength of the protective barrier did not weaken much when faced with the infiltration of the cultivators’ divine sense and soul intent, it still appeared to be sluggish in its response.

Even though there were still people with doubts in their hearts, most of the cultivators had found the opportunity and rushed towards the protective barrier like a swarm of bees.

Many people were immersed in the refining process because of this, but they always felt that there was a layer of fog in front of them, as if they were just a little bit away from seeing the refining secret technique that the Eight Treasures Daoist had used. Even though they were itching to see it, they were unable to see it clearly, and simply did not know that they had fallen into the illusion formation that Yang Junshan had meticulously laid down.

After a long period of wear and tear, there were some cultivators who finally infiltrated the oven room and followed the corridors and pavilions inside to the refining workshop. However, they discovered that they could not finish walking through the corridors and pavilions, and after walking for half a day, they would often find themselves back at the starting point.

A streak of lightning filled with the aura of thunder tribulation descended, and before the thunder could fall, that strand of primordial spirit power automatically dispersed and retreated. Only after it returned to the original body did it realize that it was a false alarm, that it had actually scared itself away. The effort from before was completely in vain, and if it were to enter again, it would have to be from the beginning to the end.

Some of them could not help but curse, but they understood that the formation master who was hiding in the oven room had shown mercy. With the Accomplishment of Array Path that this formation master had displayed, he was completely capable of using the protection of the formation spell to give the spirit sense user a serious injury.

However, there were still cultivators who did not give up and continued to investigate the scene in the oven room. Most of these people were artificers who were really obsessed with the Dao of Refining, and after going through the layers of obstructions set by Yang Junshan, they finally managed to get a good look at what was going on in the oven room. However, they discovered that of the four cultivators in the oven room, other than the three artificers, there was one other cultivator who was completely enveloped in auspicious energy, and at the same time, there was alsreasure which was at a crucial moment of its fusion with the primordial spirit.

The news quickly spread. The sects who were watching the oven room’s every move received the news that the person who invited the Eight Treasures Daoist to refine the daoyin apparatus was a Qi warrior at the peak of the auspicious realm, and the person who was well versed in array formation might very well be this Dao Realm cultivator as well. At this point, the refining of the daoyin apparatus had reached the critical moment of the advancement of the artifact spirit and the fusion of the primordial spirit.

At this time, Yang Junshan no longer had time to consider the soul consciousness and soul remembrance that he had seen outside the oven room, he could only use the eighty-one auspicious Qi that he had evolved into to hide himself and the Mountain Monarch Seal. As for the rest, what had been seen through was not his own [Refining Secret Technique].

It was at this moment that Daoist Eight Treasures finally took out a Dao-seal Stone.

It was mottled, rough, and cracked. It looked likiece of dirt on the surface, but after being activated by the Eight Treasures Daoist using a secret refining magic, the complete Dao patterns on it were quickly triggered by the artifact spirit and primordial spirit that was merging with each other.

Every profound dao mark, after being contaminated with Yang Junshan’s primordial spirit power, would fuse with the Mountain Monarch Seal’s body. Along with the increase in the number of dao marks carved on the body of the life treasure, the speed at which the origin soul and artifact spirit fused would become faster and faster!

Only when the eighty-one Dao patterns had been peeled off one by one, did the entire Dao pattern stone completely turn intile of dirt. Next, under the casual grasp of the Eight Treasures Daoist, it transformed into a pile of dust and slid down his finger.

While the eighty-one profound lines that were tainted with the power of the Primordial Spirit were being carved into the Mountain Monarch Seal, and gradually disappeared from its surface, Yang Junshan’s lone peak Primordial Spirit finally merged into the mountain range formed by the Mountain Monarch Seal. At this moment, the artifact spirit, Mountain Tiger Riding, raised his head and let oueaven-shaking roar.

Outside the oven room, all the existences watching the Eight Treasures Daoist’s forging process were shaken and their soul senses were dispersed by a single roar. They all withdrew their perception techniques in a sorry state, looking as if they still had some lingering fears.

The artifact spirit had already ascended and the fusion of the primordial spirit was a success. At this moment, the daoyin apparatus could be considered a success!

All the existences that were forced back did not leave, but started to pay attention to the sky above the oven room. When the daoyin apparatus was formed, there would definitely bhenomenon of the heaven and earth accompanying it!

Spirit energy was already beginning to gather above oven room, gradually forming the shape of a mountain. But at this time, a roar suddenly came from the top of the mountain, and the phenomenon that was gradually becoming clearer suddenly collapsed, shocking everyone who was paying attention!

Was this a success or a failure?

Logically speaking, the most important part of the refining process of the daoyin apparatus had already been completed. It could be said that the daoyin apparatus had already succeeded, but why did it cause the heaven and earth to crumble in the end?

Could it be that this daoyin apparatus failed at the very last moment?

But this didn’t make sense!

His originally retreating consciousness and soul remembrance could no longer hold back their curiosity, and once again rushed towards the oven room. However, this time, they all met with complete defeat at the protection of the restrictions, and the formation master who had been protecting the restrictions had clearly begun to take over the operation of the restrictions.

Those existences that were watching could not help but curse loudly. If not for the fact that this was an immortal palace, there would definitely be people who would ignore everything to forcefully attack oven room.

Within oven room, Ouyang Xulin was already exhausted, and Spiritual Master Xiao was not much stronger than him. The two of them were currently squatting on the floor of the artifact forging room without any regard for their image, only their eyeballs were still moving tirelessly along with the artifact spirit that was moving around on the floor. Their eyes flashed with excitement.

“Your attainments in formations has already reached the stage of interfering with the phenomenon of heaven and earth?” Aren’t you afraid that this kind of forced interference will affect the final form of the magical equipment? ”

Perhaps Ouyang Xulin and Spiritual Master Xiao did not know about what had happened outside the oven room, but the Eight Treasures Daoist knew about it clearly.

Facing the surprised inquiry of the Eight Treasures Daoist, Yang Junshan laughed and said: “Senior should be clear, although the natural phenomenon has been interrupted, the instigation of the natural spirit energy did not stop because of it. It’s just that this junior does not want to attract too much attention.”

The Eight Treasures Daoist shook his head with emotion and said, “Grandmasters of the Dao of formations are indeed extraordinary.”

Yang Junshan also laughed when he heard this: “Senior is also a Grandmaster Refiner now.”

The Eight Treasures Daoist shook his head. “That’s because, aside from refining, you’ve already made the best preparations to upgrade your innate treasure to the Dao Realm!”

Yang Junshan laughed, and said: “Senior said before, junior’s life treasure still has room for improvement?”

The Eight Treasures Daoist looked at him and said witint of regret: “Originally, this old man’s estimation was not wrong, but this old man has left out a little, and that is that the advancement of daoyin apparatus s requires a cultivator’s control as a prerequisite.”

Seeing Yang Junshan’s confused expression, Eight Treasures explained: “Different from middle tier Mountain Monarch Seal s, daoyin apparatus s need a cultivator’s origin soul and spirit to fuse together, which is also the key point foreasure body to be able to escape its owner and use its space ability to control long range battle techniques. Now that the Mountain Monarch Seal s have been formed, you do not have any experience in controlling Mountain Monarch Seal s, if you take the risk and advance here, if your origin soul is not able to cooperate, then I will fail to do so, and it is still this old man’s suggestion.

“So you’re saying that this junior doesn’t have enough control over the life daoyin apparatus and needs a long period of time to master it?” Yang Junshan was deep in thought.

Daoist Eight Treasures nodded. “Precisely!”

“Is there any tricky way to shorten the time?”

The Eight Treasures Daoist hesitated for a moment and then said, “But it’s not that there’s none. There’s a spiritual treasure in the cultivation world called the ‘God Summoning Stone’ …”

Yang Junshan’s eyes flashed, and an object appeared in his palm. He asked: “The God Summoning Stone Senior spoke of, is it this object?”

The Eight Treasures Daoist saw the item in Yang Junshan’s hand and was greatly astonished. After a long while, he said, “You actually have this item?”

Yang Junshan gently pushed the God Sending Stone in his hand, and it floated towards the Eight Treasures Daoist.

“With this in hand, how long can I save?”

After a long time, he said with a bitter smile, “This temptation is truly hard to resist. If this item is put to good use, you will be able to completely control it without any effort at all. Not only that, it will also be extremely beneficial to your magic treasure in and of itself, but in the vast majority of cases, no one will be able to accomplish this.”

As he said this, he turned to Daoist Xiao and Ouyang Xulin and said, “You two, we are busy now. It is rare to see opportunities for magic treasures to continuously advance in rank.
