Chapter 535: Chapter 483: Preparations for Forging a Divine Tool?
“Next, it’s just a matter of waiting patiently for them to continue their cultivation for a while and see if they can complete it.” Pei Xuanjing planned in his heart.
He had been tracking his experiment for a while now, and those pseudo Grandmasters who had refined the Martial Arts True Intent seeds, whether they were refining his own sword intent or the martial arts true intent seeds distilled by other first-grade martial artists, were now almost out of danger and could slowly control their blood qi circulation.
The next step they needed to try was to start gathering the blood qi around their body and complete the first step of the Upper Three Realms martial artist cultivation, condensing the Blood Qi Wolf Smoke.
Only by completing this step, they could represent themselves breaking the original constraints, no longer being inferior to others, and standing in an equal position with those grandmasters who possessed martial arts true intent.
Without much danger in this step, even failures wouldn’t cause significant harm, so Pei Xuanjing only allocated a strand of Yin Spirit power to watch over those martial artists who were carrying his sword intent, and then returned to his closed cultivation to continue refining Taoyun, waiting for the right time to continue observing the next stage of the experiment.
Now, two years had unwittingly passed since the promotion of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. During this period, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. Pei Xuanjing’s Taoyun had already reached 5 million points, enough for him to conduct a life simulation.
However, because he had many matters at hand, Pei Xuanjing did not immediately begin the life simulation, deciding to wait, after all, he wasn’t sure how long this life simulation cultivating would take.
Since he couldn’t perform life simulation for the time being, Pei Xuanjing, besides refining Taoyun, turned his attention to another matter: crafting divine artifacts.
He originally wanted to craft a divine artifact to control the Divine Position in his hands, in order to avoid being eroded by the Heaven and Earth Karma. At first, he was worried that he wouldn’t have suitable materials for crafting divine artifacts.
However, after he was listed as a co-offering in the temple by the Emperor, Pei Xuanjing had an idea to use the Power of Incense Faith as a material to craft a divine artifact of his own.
It had to be acknowledged that sometimes the advantages of the feudal empire were apparent. Especially after the Great Ming Divine Dynasty ascended, the execution became very strong. With the imperial edicts, countless worship temples were erected in the territory of Great Ming in just two years.
And these short two years accumulated a rich Power of Incense Fire for Pei Xuanjing.
“Although I have the idea of crafting divine artifacts, I seem to have no clue how to craft this divine artifact,” Pei Xuanjing sighed.
He wasn’t a jack of all trades. He had never even attempted to forge a divine weapon. He wanted to craft a divine artifact, but he had no idea where to start.
Of course, although Pei Xuanjing had the intention to forge a divine artifact, he had a conclusion in his heart about what this divine artifact should look like.
The bell, the cauldron, the tower, the seal, the mirror, and the furnace are all the most suitable prototypes for divine artifacts. They are not only powerful but also have various effects.
In the legend, these kinds of divine artifacts have a great reputation. They can open the heaven and the earth, set the four elements – Earth Water Wind Fire, and suppress all realms.
But Pei Xuanjing was still a bit unsatisfied. He felt that something was lacking. He thought that these things could not contain all of his Dao. Originally, according to his idea, crafting a Dao map was the most suitable thing.
Use his Shenxiao Heaven’s Intention as the foundation, include the Four Seasons and Five Orders, and create Shenxiao Sky Intent Map with the creation and demise of thunderbolts.
But Pei Xuanjing wanted to use this Dao map as his foundational treasure, and he didn’t want to use this method to create a divine artifact to master the divine position.
So, for the time being, Pei Xuanjing was still a bit indecisive and had not made a good decision.
…
Pei Xuanjing walked out of the main hall, passed through the pavilions of the Taoist Temple, glanced at those martial artists who were refining their blood qi and martial arts true intent non-stop day and night at the practice martial arts field, and nodded in satisfaction.
After all, with himself personally supervising, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was right in front of them. If there were any slackers who were unwilling to work hard, Pei Xuanjing would not reprimand them, but would definitely abandon them.
Seeing that these people were all taking the opportunity to grow very seriously, Pei Xuanjing smiled, turned around and went back to the main hall again, but his figure gradually faded into the darkness.
The Tiangong Workshop, this place was a forging divine weapon location of the royal family. There were several sole grandmasters supported by the royal family. The divine weapon that Pei Xuanjing had requested them to forge was also created here.
“Greetings to National Teacher.” Upon seeing Pei Xuanjing, a royal first-grade martial artist quickly paid his respects.
They were the royal guards, specifically guarding this place to prevent thieves from infiltrating. After all, there were numerous divine weapons here. If a disaster really occurs, even the royal family of the Great Ming would feel the financial pinch.
“How is the divine sword of poor Dao progressing?” Pei Xuanjing asked.
“The National Teacher’s divine sword is being forged by the workshop master in conjunction with several grandmasters. According to the information passed out, I’m afraid it will take some time to complete,” the guard replied.
Forging a divine weapon has never been a simple matter. Besides the grandmaster spending years forging a Ten Thousand-Forged divine weapon, it also requires martial artists to personally temper it to reach the peak state.
At Pei Xuanjing’s level of Realm, ordinary Ten Thousand-Forged divine weapons would be of no help to him, but would become a burden instead. Therefore, he brought that Purple Lightning Divine Gold and the broken silver spear as materials, hoping to forge a top-level Ten Thousand-Forged divine weapon, or even surpass Ten Thousand-Forged. Thus, under such circumstances, it would take even longer.
If it weren’t for the valuable and rare materials that Pei Xuanjing provided, and that forging such a divine weapon would bring great gains to many grandmasters in the Tiangong Workshop, even if he were now the number one person in the world, he would not be able to afford these grandmasters to jointly create a divine weapon for him.
Hearing that it was still early, Pei Xuanjing nodded his head and turned down the guard’s invitation to go in and watch. He asked, “I wonder if this Tiangong Workshop has some information on learning how to forge weapons?”
He came here today, not just to ask if his divine weapon had been forged, but also wanted to get some information about forging weapons for study.
Since he didn’t know anything about weapon forging, he also had no idea how to craft a divine artifact. He might as well get some materials from here for study, to see if he could gain any insights.
In response to Pei Xuanjing’s request, although the guard was curious, he didn’t dare to ask more. He hurriedly found an entry-level manual for apprentices from the workshop.
Even the Tiangong Workshop could only have these basics, which were for the apprentices to get started.
As for the advanced forging methods, these were the core secrets of each blacksmith, and they would never be revealed easily. These grandmasters would only pass this knowledge on to their disciples before death, and wouldn’t pass it to a second person. Therefore, even if Pei Xuanjing stepped forward, it would be very difficult to get their secrets.
However, for Pei Xuanjing, this was enough. He only needed to understand some refining and forging methods as a reference, and he didn’t need too sophisticated techniques.
After doing all this, Pei Xuanjing went to the Imperial City again, but he was not looking for the Emperor, but for that mysterious Mr. Wu.
