There was only a month and a half left before the Demonic Saint Passage opened, and Ji Dong's Mana Armor was still a long way from completion.
However, in the past two months, because Ji Dong had been repeating the process of restoring his Mana and releasing the Ultimate Dual Flames every day, his Mana had increased, and he had finally reached level 48. It must be known that the speed at which he could increase his Mana by one level was not as fast as before. It was impossible for him to break through to the Quintuple Champion level before entering the Righteous and Demonic Battlefield.
Just as Zhu Yan was in a dilemma, unsure if he should first complete the armor for Ji Dong, or continue to increase the quality of the armor, Yin Zhaoyang and Yin Zhaorong came together to check on the progress of the forging. After listening to Zhu Yan's complaints, the two Supremes immediately decided to replace Ji Dong's position and personally help Zhu Yan complete the remaining number of times the armor could be folded.
"Little Dong Dong, help me pass this to Her Majesty the Empress." Although his eyes looked a little tired, Ji Dong could still see the excitement in his eyes. It was obvious that the Soaring Serpent very much wanted a lotus seed from the Flaming Bar.
Ji Dong sighed in his heart. This was the choice of the Flaming Bar. Although he was unwilling, he had no other choice. He could only pray in his heart, hoping that the things that the Soaring Serpent gave the Flaming Bar would be able to make up for the Flaming Bar's pain, and it would be best if it was beneficial to her.
The Soaring Serpent could not wait to release his Mana to isolate himself from the outside world. With anxiety, nervousness, and unease, Ji Dong called out to the Flaming Bar.
The familiar Red Lotus unfurled, and a golden lotus seed appeared on one of its petals. This was not the first time that Ji Dong had seen this lotus seed appear, and he could not help but feel a pain in his heart.
"Soaring Serpent, you and I are even. Remember, do not tell anyone about my relationship with Ji Dong." The voice of the Flaming Bar did not sound any different from before. It was still as elegant and pleasant as ever, like the music of the heavens rippling in the air.
The Soaring Serpent picked up the lotus seed, its small eyes shining brightly. "Your Majesty, please do not worry. Little Dong Dong is also my friend. If I have any breakthroughs in the future, it will all be thanks to Your Majesty. I thank you here. If Your Majesty has any requests in the future, I will agree."
The voice of the Flaming Bar faintly sounded. "If you really want a breakthrough, then go find the Vermillion Bird. Only by being with it will you have a chance."
The Soaring Serpent was taken aback, and its eyes changed slightly. "Is there really no other way?"
The Flaming Bar calmly replied. "This is the only way, and the only shortcut I know of. The Yin and Yang Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts of the same element will repel each other. Just like the two Sovereigns of the core world, there can only be one result when they fight, and that is mutual destruction. The Flame Tyrant and the Dark Flame Devil King also lost their lives, and their brands fused together in agitation within their bodies. That is all I can say, the decision is up to you."
A hint of sincere respect appeared in the Soaring Serpent's eyes. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely consider your words seriously. Little Dong Dong, I have to leave now. After this farewell, I do not know if we will ever meet again. I will now bid farewell to Zhao Rong. Getting to know each other can be considered fate. It is also because of your help that I was able to obtain the help of Your Majesty. I have a book that I have treasured for a long time to give to you. You possess the Five Elements Formation, it should be of some help to you.
As she spoke, a blue light flashed, and an ancient looking book made entirely out of leather landed in Ji Dong's palm. The blue light disappeared, and the Soaring Serpent disappeared in a flash.
The Flaming Bar smiled. "This gift from the Soaring Serpent is also very precious. Ji Dong, the battle between the Saint and Demonic Saints is imminent. Don't forget what I said to you. I have to continue cultivating."
The Flaming Bar's aura disappeared along with her voice. Ji Dong could not help but feel a sense of loss in his heart once again. However, his gaze was quickly attracted by the book in his hand that was completely made out of leather.
The words on the book were not recognizable to Ji Dong. They were a type of ancient script that looked curvy and strange. On the cover of the book, there were four large words. The entire book was made out of a special brownish-yellow leather. Although he did not know how many years had passed, it did not seem to have been damaged at all. It was as if it had been through the passage of time. The strangest thing was that from this book, Ji Dong could actually feel a faint fluctuation of Mana. It was different from any kind of attribute, but it was an extremely well-rounded feeling of Mana, as if it possessed all five elements of Yin and Yang.
Flipping to the first page, Ji Dong's heart immediately trembled. He had actually seen the drawing on the first page before. Ten Elemental Totems formed a circle, looking extremely lifelike. It was actually exactly the same as the relief sculpture on the stone door that he and Yao Qianshu had almost destroyed in the underground palace. Even the aura was very similar, just much weaker. Beside the totems, there were a large number of ancient text annotations, but he did not know what was written.
The next ten pages each had a type of totem, with a large number of small annotations beside it. He could not understand what was written, but looking at the lifelike totems, Ji Dong could vaguely feel that these words should be related to totems or his own Five Elemental Formation.
The last three pages were also accompanied by some drawings. These drawings seemed to be the production methods of a few items, and seemed to be made out of different kinds of paper. Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ji Dong's mind. Could it be that these papers were used to create Magic Skill Scrolls? The Soaring Serpent had said before that this book was related to his Five Elemental Formation. If the last three pages were the production methods of the Magic Skill Scrolls, then the Soaring Serpent's words would be easy to understand. However, he did not know what was written at the front. Only by understanding the contents and combining it with his own Five Elemental Formation, would he be able to truly understand the profound mysteries within.
Now was not the time to be thinking about this. He was about to head to the Saint and Evil Battlefield, so he would think about it after the Battle of the Saint and Evil ended. Although the ancient text was extremely difficult to distinguish, he believed that with the vast knowledge of his Grandmaster, Grandmaster's wife, and even the vast knowledge of the Flaming Bar, they would definitely be able to translate it for him.
Returning to the wooden hut by the seaside, Ji Dong was just about to find Fury to continue sparring with his Magic Skill when suddenly, from Zhu Yan's residence not too far away, an intense Mana ripple could be felt. Immediately after, he saw an intense gold and black halo rising into the sky like a cloud of smoke. The distorted halo contained an extremely powerful Mana ripple, as if it was filled with a spiritual calling.
"Ji Dong, come quickly." Zhu Yan's voice was filled with urgency as he called out Ji Dong's name.
Ji Dong did not dare to tarry. He hurriedly leaped up and rushed to the wooden hut. The ten thousand layers of folding had already been completed a dozen days ago, but the siblings still remained at Zhu Yan's residence to assist him in the final few steps of the forging. The metal that had been folded ten thousand times was no longer something that Zhu Yan could forge with his own ability. He needed the assistance of the Ultimate Dual Flames to temporarily soften it.
As soon as he entered the wooden hut, the first thing that Ji Dong felt was a wave of heat assaulting his face. Within the wooden hut, Yin Zhaoyang and Yin Zhaorong were slowly withdrawing their Ultimate Dual Flames. Zhu Yan stood there drenched in sweat, his expression as ugly as a sheet of paper. On the ground between the three of them was a complete set of armor that formed a conical shape, and its original appearance could not be seen clearly.
Ji Dong did not ask what kind of armor Zhu Yan would forge for him. Now, his gaze was immediately attracted by the armor before him as soon as he entered. Because it was fused together, he could only see a conical object and not its appearance. What attracted Ji Dong's attention was the material of the armor itself.
The dark-red body did not seem conspicuous, and Ji Dong could faintly see a layer of extremely fine cloud patterns on the dark-red metal with his powerful eyesight. The cloud patterns exuded a firm, tough, domineering, and sonorous aura, filled with a strong sense of superiority. The most peculiar thing was that the armor was constantly trembling, and the golden and black smoke that Ji Dong saw earlier was actually seeping out from its body.
As soon as Zhu Yan saw Ji Dong, he did not say a word and rushed forward, immediately pulling her to the armor. "Quick, there's only one last step left. It needs to be soaked in your blood. I didn't think that I would actually create a magical weapon that has spirituality and needs to recognize its master. This is definitely the best work I've made in my life."
Even though he was already very tired, his eyes were filled with fervor and excitement. Three months. He had used a whole three months, and with the help of Ji Dong and two other sovereigns, he had finally forged this armor with spirituality. Ji Dong did not quite understand what a magical weapon with spirituality was, but in truth, the most basic requirements for a so-called divine weapon were spirituality and the ability to recognize its master. Just as Zhu Yan had judged, the armor he had forged, with the advantage of the materials, the Ultimate Dual Flames and ten thousand folds, as well as the soaking and forging without regard for the cost, was already extremely close to a divine weapon.
"Brother, hurry up and water it with your blood. Only then can it complete the process of recognizing its master. Otherwise, it will lose all its spiritual energy before it can even take shape, and become an ordinary weapon."
Hearing Zhu Yan's urgent voice, Ji Dong did not dare to be negligent. Towards Zhu Yan, he had a feeling of gratitude and admiration. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Zhu Yan looked like a crazy old man, but Ji Dong knew very well that Zhu Yan was just like him in his previous life, who was obsessed with bartending, wholeheartedly devoted himself to the research of magical weapon forging. He did not care about the matters of the outside world at all, which was why he had such a slovenly appearance. However, this dedication had already filled Ji Dong with a good impression. They were the same kind of people, which was why when Zhu Yan had forcibly acknowledged him as his kin, Ji Dong did not oppose it as he got to know him better. Now, he was even more grateful. In order to help him forge this armor, Zhu Yan, who was over a hundred years old, had worked so hard over the past few months. Even with the support of the magical energy of the Seven Crowns, he seemed even older. All of this was for him, so how could he not be moved?
His hands swept past each other, and a dazzling light flashed. Ji Dong suppressed his Ultimate Dual Fire Attribute with all his strength, channeling power into his fingernails, and sliced through the veins on both hands. This time, he used a lot of strength. It must be known that he had the Vermillion Bird Inner Armor under his skin. Even if he forcibly controlled the Vermillion Bird Inner Armor to not be activated due to an attack, the toughness of his skin was far from that of an ordinary person.
Under Ji Dong's deliberate control, two streams of blood immediately spurted out from the wounds, and landed on the armor that was still burning hot. Immediately, the armor stopped trembling violently, and its body flickered with a faint light. When it was bright, it turned gold, and when it was dim, it turned black. Its aura changed, and it was the mana undulations of the Ultimate Dual Fire.
If it had been an ordinary person, even the blood of a fire-type Demon Master would not have been able to satisfy this armor. At this moment, it was not just going through the process of recognizing its master, but also the process of condensing its own spirituality, and completing the final step of forging. Furthermore, Ji Dong's blood was filled with the aura of the two great Ultimate Fires, as well as the existence of the Chaotic Fire, the most fundamental Power of Creation in the world. The instant the blood fused into the armor, the armor immediately greedily absorbed it, and did not leave a single trace behind. The trembling stopped, but the number of times the light flickered became more and more rapid, as if it was expressing its own excitement.
Ji Dong forcefully channeled his own mana to prevent the wounds from healing, and blood continued to spurt out. Due to the Vermillion Bird Transformation and the Winged Serpent Transformation, his body was not only extremely tough, but the various functions of his body were also far superior to that of an ordinary person. As his blood flowed out, his body's hematopoietic function began to rapidly circulate. As long as he did not lose too much blood, there would not be any problems with his body.
