Wang Baole's breathing quickened when he heard Little Missy's words. He didn't think too much about it. The current situation didn't allow him to carefully weigh the pros and cons. Almost instantly, he came to a decision.
"I'll give it a shot!" Wang Baole's eyes shone with determination. Without any hesitation, he slapped his body with his right hand. As his body trembled, he raised his right hand, and a brilliant light flashed. His scabbard was suddenly drawn out.
The moment it appeared, the scabbard began to tremble. This was the Dharma treasure that hadn't been destroyed by Dugu Lin's Four Beast Fists. The moment it appeared, it showed signs of collapsing under the pressure of the strands of light. There were even cracking sounds and cracks appeared on it!
Little Missy didn't know what to do when she saw the danger. The Never-Ending Clan's body formed by the laws around Wang Baole's body instantly collapsed with a boom. As it spread outwards, it resisted the light. Then, Little Missy's figure appeared and rapidly formed a series of hand seals. Immediately, the shimmering threads of light froze.
Wang Baole heaved a sigh of relief. However, he could see that Little Missy was barely holding on. So, he stabilized his breathing and rapidly formed a series of hand seals. Without any delay, he began to refine his scabbard!
Wang Baole already had a plan for upgrading his scabbard from sixth-grade to seventh-grade, and he had simulated it in his head too many times. As for the materials, he had already gathered enough for that as he continued to collect them!
However, Wang Baole hadn't been confident before. On one hand, he was worried that his scabbard would collapse if he failed. On the other hand, the materials were precious. If he failed, it wasn't impossible to gather all of them again, but the price would be great.
So, he had been honing his artifact refining skills. His original plan was to refine the scabbard when he was absolutely certain that he wouldn't fail. However, the opportunity before him was too rare. Most importantly, Little Missy's last sentence just now …
"Allow it to absorb a trace of the power of this place and have the foundation to transform into a supreme treasure!" Wang Baole's eyes shone with intense anticipation. He waved his hand, causing a huge amount of materials to fly out. His hands flashed in a double-handed incantation gesture, and he waved his finger at them. The materials melted, and Wang Baole began to extract their essence.
As for the Dharma cauldron used for refining artifacts, Wang Baole had fire Dharma divine powers and was more than enough to refine ordinary Dharma armaments. But here … Wang Baole's eyes flashed as he suddenly spoke.
"Little Big Sister, is it possible to let a single strand of light in?"
Little Missy looked over at Wang Baole and was about to say something, but when she saw the determination and determination in his eyes, she didn't try to persuade him otherwise. Instead, she performed an incantation gesture, using the power of the natural laws of the Vast Expanse to cause a thin strand to fly toward Wang Baole. However, because of the power of the natural laws of the Vast Expanse, it was much slower than before.
Because of that, Wang Baole could use it to his advantage. Almost as soon as the strand of light arrived, Wang Baole began to throw out the materials in order. Using the strand of light to cut and melt them, he began to refine them into the shape he needed!
It was like dancing on the tip of a knife. Wang Baole was completely focused, not daring to be the slightest bit distracted. He even forgot about the dangers of this place, and where he was!
In his eyes, in his world, there was only the refinement of his Natal Scabbard, and he would not allow himself to fail. Even though Little Missy had said that the refinement would definitely succeed, he was still extremely vigilant and stubborn to the point of madness!
Rumbling sounds echoed out as vast quantities of materials were dissolved and cut up. Little Missy took back the strand of light, and Wang Baole continued to perform incantation gestures to place the materials into the Intrinsic Scabbard. The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, without the slightest error. After enough time passed for an incense stick to burn, Wang Baole finished sorting out the materials and placing them into the Intrinsic Scabbard. At that point, he looked up, and his eyes began to shine brightly.
Wang Baole was well aware that the true refinement was about to begin!!
He took a deep breath and pulled out a sufficient amount of Weapon Sand from his bracelet of holding. Without the slightest hesitation, he fused the Weapon Sand into his scabbard. Then, he performed an incantation gesture with both hands, causing the flame magical technique inside of him to explode out and envelop the scabbard. The scabbard's aura began to rise at an astonishing rate!
It rose from Rank-6 to Rank-7, and the pressure it exuded grew more and more shocking. However … it was still some distance away from breaking through the limits of Rank-6 and becoming a Rank-7 embryo!
Wang Baole didn't know what was missing, and he began to feel anxious. Based on his calculations, he should have successfully ascended to Rank-7 embryo at this stage. All he needed to do was fuse it with his Soul, and it would become a true Rank-7.
"Where did it go wrong …?" Wang Baole watched anxiously as the Intrinsic Scabbard's aura rose to its limits. Not only did it stop rising, but it also showed signs of cracking because it hadn't broken through to the next level in time!
Based on his understanding of Dharmic Armaments, if this situation wasn't resolved immediately, then as the cracks continued to spread, the Dharmic Armament would be consumed, as if it were self-immolating. Once all the materials were consumed, the Dharmic Armament would collapse.
"Cracking … is it because … it's not tough enough?" At this critical juncture, Wang Baole's heart trembled. Little Missy suddenly performed a series of hand seals. Instantly, the stone slab beside her floated up slowly. Then, it abruptly shot toward the scabbard, instantly appearing above it and pressing down!
Under this pressure, the scabbard immediately trembled. It was originally showing signs of cracking, but it seemed to be suppressed by a force from all directions, preventing it from collapsing!
"Hurry up and repair it. I didn't expect this either. Your scabbard … is already different from the formula in my memory … I can only help you maintain it so that it doesn't collapse …" As Little Missy spoke with difficulty, Wang Baole immediately performed a series of hand seals and took out a large amount of materials again. As he repaired his Dharmic Armament, his mind was also rapidly pondering the problem of the scabbard's lack of toughness. Without question, although Wang Baole heard Little Missy's apology, he was unwilling to fail just like this.
In fact, if he failed this time, Wang Baole had the premonition that it would be impossible for the scabbard to reach the seventh grade.
Wang Baole's eyes were a bit bloodshot as he suddenly looked at the strand of light that Little Missy had just taken away. "Since that's the case, then even if I fail this time, I still have to try. Lack of toughness, huh …? I've already used up most of the materials I have, but … there's another material that's extremely tough!"
"Little Missy, release that strand of light!" growled Wang Baole. Little Missy's face flickered as she realized what Wang Baole was trying to do.
"Is it really necessary to go all out like this?" she couldn't help but ask.
"It's already come to this. If I don't succeed, then I'll just give up on the thought!" Said Wang Baole through clenched teeth. His eyes shone with a ferocious light. Little Missy gave Wang Baole a deep look, but didn't try to dissuade him. Instead, she performed an incantation gesture. Immediately, the strand of light that she had just taken away was released and shot toward Wang Baole.
As the strand of light closed in, Wang Baole threw caution to the wind. Roaring, he performed an incantation gesture, causing his scabbard to shoot toward the strand of light. He wasn't going to touch it, but rather … absorb it!!
He was going to absorb the restrictive strand of light into his scabbard!
In the blink of an eye, the strand of light was absorbed into the scabbard. The strand of light seemed capable of cutting through all living things, and in the blink of an eye, the scabbard was unable to withstand it. It was like a mortal swallowing a sharp blade. Just as it was about to be pierced through, the power of the stone slab created an incredible pressure and pressure that prevented the strand of light from penetrating through!!
Seeing this, Wang Baole's eyes shone with madness, and he let out a roar.
"Another strand of light!"
Little Missy was also shaken by what was happening. She quickly performed an incantation gesture, causing a second strand of light to shoot toward the scabbard. Then a third, a fourth, a fifth ….
In less than thirty breaths of time, Wang Baole had absorbed over a hundred strands of light into the scabbard. The scabbard was already riddled with holes, and if it weren't for the power of the stone slab suppressing it, it would have long since been reduced to nothing more than ash.
But now … it was still able to maintain its shape. That gave Wang Baole a chance. He kept forming hand seals with both hands, refining and repairing the sword. When he ran out of materials, he took out the Stellar Source and threw it into the scabbard.
As of this moment, he wasn't even thinking about the concoction formula. The only thing on his mind was to repair the scabbard!
It was impossible to say how much time passed, but Little Missy was still in a daze. All of the restrictive strands of light had been absorbed by the scabbard, and Wang Baole was running low on Stellar Sources. Then, all of a sudden, the scabbard, which had not broken through the critical point of its repair, suddenly erupted with … a crushing aura!!
