Wang Baole sighed. He felt that his reputation had been ruined by his son's hands just like that. Right now, after thinking about it, he decided that he could only spend more effort on the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield so that he could stabilize his position in the Ice Phoenix Legion while also reaching a higher level.
"I have to work hard, especially in this army where female cultivators are the most important. I have a responsibility and an obligation to rise up here. Also, the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect's artifact refinement skills are extraordinary. If I want to gain more in the Divine Eye civilization in the future, I have to increase my reputation and value!" Wang Baole took a deep breath. He wanted to have his own army and continuously raise its level. Only by achieving this goal would he be able to obtain the legacy of the Demonic Eye Art from the Eye of the Eternal Star.
At the same time, he could also use this opportunity to get in touch with the royal family and have the opportunity to take a shortcut in obtaining cultivation techniques.
"It's a pity that I, Wang Baole, have a bottom line. I can't easily sell my body. Otherwise, everything would be simple." Wang Baole was both gratified and regretful about his resolve. He calmed down, and as his eyes flashed, he suppressed all his thoughts. However, he didn't officially refine the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield immediately. Instead, as a precaution, he began to study and deduce the internal structure of the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield once again.
Just like that, time passed slowly. Three days passed in a flash. It had been ten days since Wang Baole obtained the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield. Through these ten days of persistent research, he could be said to have thoroughly understood the principles of this shield. He also confirmed it several times. No matter how he tried to verify it, his train of thought was clear and there were no mistakes in his deductions. Only then did Wang Baole end his research. He raised his head and took a deep breath. His eyes were filled with determination.
"As expected of an existence that surpasses a ninth-grade Dharmic Armament. Just the first two levels of research took me ten whole days … It's broad and profound. Looks like I can't underestimate anyone in this world." Wang Baole shook his head and sighed. Then, he waved his right hand, causing a large quantity of materials to fly out from his bracelet of holding. As they floated in front of him, Wang Baole focused his attention on the concocting process according to his own research and understanding.
With Wang Baole's current attainments in equipment refinement, it could be said that he had integrated three civilizations and had reached an extremely high level. Even he himself wasn't particularly clear on what level his attainments in equipment refinement had reached. Now that he had thoroughly studied the Heaven-shaking Divine Justice Shield, there naturally wouldn't be any accidents during the refinement process.
Two days later, a seven-inch jade-like stone appeared in front of Wang Baole.
If the seven-inch jade stone was laid flat, it would look like a boat. However, if it was erected, it would look like a willow leaf shield!
Not only was the entire body overflowing with light, there was also a strange pressure spreading out from within. As it filled the entire chamber, Meng Chao could faintly see countless runic symbols flowing within the seven-inch willow leaf jade like liquid. They seemed to have formed a natural cycle, and it was very extraordinary.
Even though he had personally forged the seven-inch jade shield and was extremely familiar with its internal principles and structure, Wang Baole was still taken aback by its appearance when the treasure was fully formed. That was especially so when, after a moment of silence, he formed a series of hand seals with his right hand and pointed. A beam of light spread out from Wang Baole's finger, and the seven-inch jade shield absorbed the light the moment it appeared, refracting a large number of illusory runes. With Wang Baole as the center, the runes formed a translucent shield around him.
Looking at the light shield around him, Wang Baole thought for a moment. Then, with a shake of his body, he appeared directly outside the shield. He raised his right hand and poked at the shield. A sense of resistance was transmitted through his finger.
"This treasure is very difficult to refine. It took me nearly half a month to complete it. It's really not simple!" After carefully sensing the resistance and confirming that there was a certain degree of resistance, Wang Baole's eyes shone with a strange light. After thinking for a moment, he decided to continue refining and see if he could refine this treasure to the eighth layer in one go.
The subsequent refinements became increasingly difficult, but with Wang Baole's meticulous research and mastery, he was able to resolve them one by one. After three days, he had refined the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield to the second level!
The second layer of the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield looked quite different from the first layer. The light shield was more resplendent and there were twice as many runes. When it was activated, the runes were densely packed together, giving off an extraordinary aura. However, Wang Baole was not very satisfied.
"It's a little too ostentatious … This is not good. Others will be wary when they see it. It will be difficult to trick them." Wang Baole thought for a moment and felt that this treasure was good in every way. However, this was not compatible with its characteristics. Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Wang Baole decided to make some adjustments. In the end, he overlapped all the additional runes with the original runes of the first layer. When the appearance of this treasure was no different from the first layer, Wang Baole was immediately satisfied and began refining the third layer.
Several days later, the third level was successfully refined. Just like the second level, Wang Baole branded the additional runes on top of the previous runes. Therefore, at first glance, there didn't seem to be any difference. However, if one were to test it out, they would immediately discover the differences.
The 15% resistance caused the treasure's power to increase greatly. In fact, when combined with one's own Mystique, it was equivalent to having 15% of the opponent's strength added out of thin air. In actual combat, this was often the difference between life and death!
Wang Baole was also very happy. However, just as he was refining the fourth layer, an accident occurred.
Although the refinement of the fourth layer was difficult, Wang Baole's attainments in refining artifacts were sufficient. However, the fourth layer of this treasure required a material called Spirit Tempering Leaf. This material was almost monopolized by the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect in the Divine Eye civilization. It was very difficult to buy it outside. Only those with a certain level of authority in the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect could purchase it internally.
Wang Baole's authority was only at the lowest level. He did not qualify to purchase the Spirit Tempering Leaf. Therefore, after scratching his head and looking at the Divine Justice Shield that he had refined to the third layer, he could only end his seclusion and walk towards the residence of the Army Commander, Fairy Ling You.
As the commander of the Ice Phoenix Legion, Fairy Ling You had always been busy. That was especially so during this period of time when she had been preparing for the legion's advancement. Therefore, towards Wang Baole, who she already disliked, suddenly paying her a visit, Fairy Ling You felt a little annoyed. When she summoned him before her, she didn't hide her annoyance at all as she spoke coldly.
She asked coldly, "Long Nanzi, what do you want?"
"Army Commander, I have refined the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield, but I do not have the authority to purchase the materials required for the subsequent refinement. I would like to request that you give me more authority …" Wang Baole was a little diffident. He felt that he had only refined to the third layer, which was a little too far away. However, he still took out the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield that he had refined.
"You've refined it?" Fairy Ling You was stunned when she heard Wang Baole's words. She swept her gaze over the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield and confirmed that it was indeed the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield. Even though the speed at which Wang Baole had refined the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield had exceeded her expectations, Fairy Ling You quickly came to a realization. She thought about how Wang Baole had a background in artifact refinement after all and had a solid foundation. Therefore, it wasn't surprising that he could refine the first level.
However, in her heart, she still looked down on those forces that relied on the upper sects. She thought that they were all unorthodox and insignificant. Even if they could refine the first level, their achievements would stop there. If they wanted to refine the second level, it would be impossible for them to refine it in a few years.
Furthermore, to her, the most important thing right now was the army's advancement. Therefore, she did not pay too much attention to small matters like Wang Baole's and was too lazy to investigate. She directly raised Wang Baole's authority by one level and sent him away.
After walking out of the main hall, Wang Baole did not pay attention to the other party's attitude. In reality, he also felt that the third layer of the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield was indeed a little unpresentable. Therefore, now that he had the authority, he immediately bought the Spirit Tempering Leaves and prepared to return to his residence and continue his seclusion. At this moment, walking in the Ice Phoenix Army's encampment, Wang Baole did not pay attention to the valiant-looking female cultivators hurriedly passing by. Instead, he deduced the changes to the fifth layer of the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield in his mind.
"The fourth layer is not a problem. As long as I have the Spirit Tempering Leaves, I can complete the upgrade in two hours. However, the fifth layer is more complicated. It can be considered the dividing line between the Soul Conduit realm and the Spirit Immortal realm. I need to study it thoroughly." As Wang Baole muttered to himself, he saw that he was about to reach his residence. However, at this moment, laughter rang out in front of him, accompanied by the sound of scolding and whipping.
Wang Baole raised his head in surprise and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw that there were seven to eight female army cultivators clustered around a tall and burly woman. Her cultivation was at the Soul Conduit realm, causing this woman's aura to be astonishing. Furthermore, she was currently holding four ropes in her hands …
The other end of each rope was tied to a pet-like creature. As if walking a dog, it was chatting and laughing with the people clustered around it!
These four pets had different appearances. There was a treant that was obviously formed from plants, a ferocious-looking three-headed lizard, and a python with a woman's head. As for the last pet … When Wang Baole's gaze landed on it, his eyes instantly widened, revealing an expression of disbelief!
