Wang Baole sighed as he put down the Jade Coagulation Sword and began to refine his second perfect Dharma artifact. During the refining process, he did not stop practicing the Cloud Ethereal technique. Every day, he would meditate to deepen his Spirit Qi and also to rest.
Every time he completed a Circulatory Cycle, he would recover a lot of his energy. He could also feel the Spirit Threads in his body growing stronger by the day. Especially when he was refining the required Spirit Stones, his absorption of Spirit Qi increased significantly with the activation of the devouring seed. His entire body was surrounded by clouds and mist, making him look ethereal. Because he had 100% spirit meridians, Wang Baole's cultivation speed was much faster than others.
He deeply understood that cultivation was something that could not be ignored, just like refining Dharma artifacts. The Technique of Infinite Armament Transformation also emphasized that the higher the grade of the Dharma artifact refined, the greater the cultivation required to support it. The Federation's Dharma artifacts were divided into nine grades. Grade one and two were Dharma artifacts, Grade three were Numinous artifacts, and Grade seven was Dharma Armament. If one surpassed Grade nine … it would be a Divine Armament!
This required a Dharma Armament master's cultivation to be extremely high as well!
Thinking of the Technique of Infinite Armament Transformation, Wang Baole could not help but recall the opening sentence.
"We Armament Cultivators view all things as Spirit Stones. We inscribe countless Inscriptions and condense them into … supreme Spirit Kernels!"
"We view the laws as materials and use the starry sky as a furnace to refine … Divine Armaments that can slay Immortals!"
Thinking of this sentence, Wang Baole's heart trembled. He wondered when he would be able to refine all things in the world into weapons.
"When the time comes, I will be able to refine Divine Armaments myself and become the Federation President. This is not something that can be done in a matter of minutes. Who would dare to say no?" Wang Baole was filled with anticipation as he thought of this.
Amidst this anticipation, time passed day by day. Wang Baole refined more and more perfect Grade One Dharma artifacts. Another half a month passed. In this half a month, Wang Baole was almost in seclusion, constantly refining perfect Grade One Dharma artifacts. As he refined one Dharma artifact after another, he was not far from becoming an Armament Disciple.
To other disciples who had just entered Upper Academy Island, this was not an easy task. However, to Wang Baole, it was just a matter of time. At the same time, Upper Academy Island welcomed its second batch of new disciples in this half a month.
The second batch of new disciples consisted of the older students who had not entered the Spirit Breath Village before, as well as a small group of people who had failed in the Spirit Breath Village. They had broken through to the Ancient Martial Arts realm through the Dao College's own mystic realm and were promoted to the upper academy.
Their arrival made the Upper Academy Island livelier than usual. At the same time, the cruiser awarded to Wang Baole by the Dharmic Armament Pavilion as an eight-inch Spirit Root True Breath practitioner was finally completed. The blue-shirted cultivator from the Prefecture Administrative Department personally delivered it to Wang Baole.
He was one of the few people who paid special attention to the battle between Wang Baole and Lin Tianhao. Through the battle between the two of them, the blue-shirted cultivator could tell that Wang Baole was not an ordinary person. He also inquired about Wang Baole's brutal deeds on the Lower Academy Island, which made the blue-shirted cultivator want to befriend him.
Wang Baole liked making friends very much. Even though he was refining Dharma artifacts, when he saw the blue-shirted cultivator arrive, he was not irritated by the interruption of his refining. Instead, he was rather enthusiastic. After exchanging some pleasantries and sending the blue-shirted cultivator away, Wang Baole looked at the small cruiser parked in front of the cave abode. His eyes revealed a trace of excitement.
"A cruiser." Wang Baole went forward and touched it. This small cruiser was not big and did not have wings. It was about thirty feet in size and was oval-shaped. It was green in color and had a hollow in the middle, as if a strange force was circulating within it.
Because of the protective cover, it was very convenient to sit or stand in for short flights. If it was a long flight, one could even lie in it. There were many modes for piloting it. One could set the direction and let it fly automatically. One could also infuse one's whole body's spirit energy into it to pilot it.
"It's a pity that it is not equipped with an attack mode … but I can add some Dharma artifacts on top of it. This way, it will be armed!" Wang Baole circled the cruiser a few times. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. This could be said to be the first cruiser that belonged to him. As this cruiser was a type of Dharma treasure, it was not too difficult for Wang Baole to control it.
After a simple study, Wang Baole could not contain his joy. He simply sat in the cruiser. The spirit energy in his body suddenly spread out and infused into the cruiser. Immediately, the cruiser shook and slowly rose into the air.
Wang Baole's eyes grew more and more excited. He adjusted his spirit energy according to his thoughts. Immediately, the cruiser, which was suspended in mid-air, sped forward and headed straight for the sky.
With a shout of joy, Wang Baole piloted the cruiser around Upper Academy Island. At first, it was unfamiliar, but gradually, it became more agile. This was especially so when there were disciples from other pavilions around him who were piloting their cruisers in and out. After some observation, Wang Baole gradually stopped sitting. Like the others, he stood on the cruiser and faced the wind.
"This is what a cultivator should have. Walking on air, there is no place in the world that one cannot go!" Wang Baole laughed heartily. He could not help but think of the introduction of the Cloud Ethereal technique. If one reached the fifth level of True Breath, one would be able to fly on a sword for a short period of time.
At that time, the cruiser would mostly be used for long-distance travel. Even if one encountered danger in mid-air, one could still leave on a sword and fight the enemy.
"I have to work harder and strive to reach the peak of True Breath as soon as possible!" The feeling of controlling the cruiser and flying around in the sky made Wang Baole excited. He was also full of anticipation for his future. He steered the cruiser faster and faster.
The strong wind that should have been blowing in his face was blocked by the protective shield, so Wang Baole did not feel the slightest bit of wind blowing in his face. The design of the cruiser also reduced wind resistance to a minimum. At that moment, joy filled his body and mind. Wang Baole laughed heartily as the cruiser rushed into the clouds and soared high up in the sky.
At this position, he could no longer see the other cruisers around him.
Everything below him seemed to have shrunk in Wang Baole's eyes. Looking around, the surrounding clouds were like the sea, vast and boundless. When he raised his head, the Sword Sun at the end of the heavens was emitting light and heat, and the ancient greenish-bronze sword was frightening.
"The sword sun. The sun is huge to begin with, much bigger than Earth. This ancient greenish-bronze sword is naturally astonishing as well, many times bigger than Earth."
"Then, the body of this sword is like a continent, like a huge world!" After attaining True Breath, Wang Baole had come into contact with much information about ancient martial arts through the Spiritual Internet on Upper Academy Island.
For example, landing on the sword world of the sun was something that all the factions of the Federation were trying to do. Thirty years ago, the Five Generation Sky Clan had used some unknown method to be the first batch of people to land on the sword world. They had already sent people up there, and it was said that they had received some sort of legacy.
Unfortunately, the details of this were top secret and were not known to outsiders.
"There's also the moon …" Wang Baole's heart skipped a beat. It was dusk now. Besides the sun in the sky, the outline of the moon could be vaguely seen. Since ancient times, there had been many legends and mysteries about the moon.
Some of these legends had been proven, while others, even the current Federation did not have direct evidence. Regardless, many fragments of the ancient greenish-bronze sword had landed on the moon.
This caused the moon, which had been controlled by the Federation many years ago, to become a land of treasures!
"Someone on the Spiritual Internet said that the opportunity to break through the True Breath realm and step into a higher level lies on the moon!" Wang Baole's eyes were filled with anticipation. As his thoughts raced, his eyes suddenly widened. He noticed that in the direction of the moon, a black dot had appeared.
This black dot seemed to be traveling at an extremely fast speed. It was approaching him with a whoosh.
"What's that?" Wang Baole was shocked. He hurriedly controlled the cruiser to descend. As he headed straight for the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, he turned to look behind him. Immediately, he saw the sea of clouds behind him rumble. It was as if a huge creature had rushed out from the bottom of the sea of clouds, rolling in all directions like waves. Following that, a gigantic beast over two hundred feet in size, covered in black fur, rushed out of the sea of clouds instantly. It bared its teeth and charged straight at Wang Baole.
This gigantic beast was a gigantic ape with wings. The suppressive force it exuded surpassed that of the True Breath realm. Wang Baole only took one look at it, and he found it difficult to breathe. His heart raced. Clearly, it was not something he could resist.
Not only did this ape have a frightening aura, it also looked extremely ferocious. Its speed was much faster than Wang Baole's. At that moment, its eyes were filled with ferocity, as if it had locked onto Wang Baole. With a flap of its wings, its speed increased exponentially. In an instant, it closed the distance between them and appeared beside Wang Baole's cruiser. It raised its right hand and slapped at Wang Baole's cruiser.
Compared to its humongous body, the cruiser was like a toy. Wang Baole, who was in the cruiser, was so frightened that he immediately exclaimed in shock. He wanted to dodge, but it was too late. The ape's palm landed on the cruiser, and with a loud boom, the cruiser immediately lost its stability and was sent crashing towards the ground of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion.
"What's going on? There are still ferocious beasts on Upper Academy Island! No one cares about them! "
Wang Baole's entire body trembled, and he immediately screamed. However, before the cruiser could land, the ape increased its speed and caught up with the cruiser in an instant. It bared its teeth and seemed to be very happy. It slapped the cruiser again, and with a loud boom, the cruiser was sent flying again.
Wang Baole, who was inside, was stunned. He screamed even more miserably and felt his mind buzzing intensely. The uncontrollable speed made his heart almost jump out of his chest.
"There's no justice in this world. I didn't provoke it!"
While Wang Baole was filled with grief and indignation, the ape suddenly flew up and arrived beside the cruiser, smacking it down again. Seeing the cruiser fall again, the ape seemed to be very excited. It clenched its fists and hammered its chest forcefully, letting out sounds of excitement. It seemed to be extremely happy.
Just like that, the ape jumped up and down, treating the cruiser as a toy. It kept slapping and slapping. It was obvious that it was playing. It controlled its strength very well and did not smash the cruiser into pieces.
Even so, Wang Baole, who was inside the cruiser, was suffering. He screamed incessantly and was in a daze. He felt as if the whole world was flipping upside down again and again.
Many people on Upper Academy Island saw this scene. They were not too surprised and only shook their heads and lamented.
"Whose cruiser is this? It must be a newcomer …"
"Only a newcomer would dare to fly to the clouds. That is the territory of the Diamond Ape. It will attack when it sees it …"
Just like that, after slapping and slapping dozens of times, the ape seemed to have gotten bored and stopped paying attention to the cruiser. Suddenly, the cruiser landed on the ground of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion with a loud boom. Luckily, the cruiser was sturdy. Although it was broken and smoking, Wang Baole did not suffer any injuries. However, the moment it landed, Wang Baole, who was rolling and crawling, struggled to get out. His head was spinning and he vomited the moment he got out.
His body trembling, the weak Wang Baole raised his head in grief and indignation. He glared angrily at the ape in the sky and raised his right hand. Just as he was about to scold it, a kind-hearted disciple of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion beside him was so frightened that his expression changed.
"Junior Brother, lower your voice. Don't scold it. It is very weak. Once it is scolded, it will use its ultimate move. It is extremely terrifying!"
