Carving the inscription pattern on the soul is the most difficult step. It can only be done after reaching the Golden Core Realm. Before that, it's only the moment when the soul leaves the body. But after that, there aren't so many requirements. As long as the soul can withstand it, then you can practice the inscription pattern.
Shi Xuan visualized the first inscription pattern of the second stage of the Clear Wind Escape. Slowly, the cloud-shaped inscription pattern began to appear in his soul.
This inscription pattern only has a part of the characteristics of the ancient cloud seal, but it's still very complicated. Shi Xuan just slightly lost control and the inscription pattern disappeared.
Visualizing talisman characters was not as easy as one might imagine. The formation sequence of the talisman characters had to conform to certain rules. Visualizing which part came out first, and then visualizing which part came out was a key point in learning magic arts. In addition, the space between each stroke had to be exactly the same. This was not like visualizing the true method, where one only needed to understand the meaning.
Shi Xuan tried seven to eight times before he finally visualized the inscription pattern in his soul. Then, he carefully let it slowly approach the inscription pattern of the Clear Wind Escape. Finally, it maintained a mysterious distance above the first stage inscription pattern, seemingly touching yet not touching.
After stopping, Shi Xuan revolved the inscription pattern in his soul and suddenly felt hot. The inscription pattern and the inscription pattern formed a mysterious connection, but it didn't truly become a whole.
Shi Xuan continued to work hard and visualized other inscription patterns. After visualizing five to six inscription patterns, he only stopped when he felt that part of his soul was getting hot. This was beyond the limit of that part of his soul for today. However, there was already a small half of the ancient cloud seal pattern above the first stage inscription pattern.
Although there was a small half of the ancient cloud seal pattern, it didn't affect the usage of the first stage of the Clear Wind Escape. When activating the divine ability, there's no need for that small half of the ancient cloud seal pattern to come into play. Only when the second stage is completed would it completely fuse and become the second stage inscription pattern.
Shi Shuan then slowly cultivated the other six minor supernatural powers. When he was finally done, he felt extremely exhausted. He hurriedly performed the [Breeze and Moon God Illuminating True Technique] to recover a little. After that, it was time to nurture the seal characters, allowing them to fully match the essence of his soul.
For the next few days, Shi Xuan ordered Yan Jujian to go to the mountain to find good wood. At the same time, he asked Ding Mingde to go to the city to buy a few good cauldrons. It would be best if there were cauldrons used by the daoist temple. In addition, he also needed to buy some materials that Shi Xuan told him to prepare for the flame temperature increasing array and flame stabilizing array.
The second stage spell was indeed relatively simple. Three days later, during the night, Shi Xuan successfully visualized the last inscription pattern and moved it to the layer of inscription pattern above the Clear Wind Escape. As soon as it was placed, the entire layer of inscription pattern became a complete ancient cloud seal pattern mixed with a few ordinary inscription patterns. At the same time, a golden light flashed and this layer of inscription pattern and the first stage inscription pattern became a whole. Shi Xuan finally cultivated a second stage spell.
With the first time, the rest was much easier. That night, Shi Xuan cultivated the Golden Blade Divine Wind Chop, Golden Dragon Armor Incantation, Qi Concealment Technique, Yin Yang Eye, and Qi Observation Technique to the second stage. Only the Shangqing Cardinal Thunder was at the second stage, so it was far from breaking through.
Shi Xuan confirmed that the effects of the Stage Two Minor Divine Ability were at least double that of the Stage One Minor Divine Ability.
During the day, Shi Xuan didn't stay idle. After carefully studying the refining book, as well as the refining method of the Life and Death Wheel in the Treasure Record, Shi Xuan initially thought of three methods to refine the spell. However, two of them were purely for backup, as they would cause great damage to the material of the White Bone Soul Flag. He hoped that he wouldn't need to use them when the time came.
The material and refining method of the White Bone Soul Flag were all very good. Being able to refine it to the seventh level showed that it was a high-grade spell, which could withstand the majority of restrictions. Therefore, after the refine was completed, Shi Xuan racked his brains to choose which restriction to refine.
The restriction provided in the White Bone Soul Flag refining book was undoubtedly the most suitable, but Shi Xuan didn't like it. First, the two thousand-year-old skulls were completely shattered, and a large part of the restriction was related to this. But giving up on this and taking out unrelated restrictions to make a new restriction, Shi Xuan didn't have the ability to do so. Second, it required a living person to refine it, which Shi Xuan still couldn't accept.
However, Tian Shi Xuan had a flash of inspiration. He took out the restrictions on the few artifacts in the Treasure Record and studied them. To his surprise, he discovered that the restrictions on the first heaven of the Life and Death Roulette and the first two heaven of the White Bone Soul Serving Flag were very similar. The restrictions on the next few heaven became more and more different.
Shi Xuan pondered whether or not he should use the restrictions of the Life and Death Wheel to refine the White Bone Soul Flag. Most of the restrictions were similar, and the effects of the Life and Death Wheel indicated that the material of the flag was roughly compatible with the restriction. Although the materials required by the Life and Death Wheel seemed to be of a high grade, the White Bone Soul Flag was also a high-grade spell, so the materials wouldn't be too bad.
However, if he started to refine it without much understanding, it was hard to say if the materials wouldn't be able to withstand the last few levels of restrictions. It was hard to say if the flag would be ruined, so Shi Xuan was very hesitant.
However, on the second day after Shi Xuan mastered the second level spell, he made up his mind to use the Life and Death Wheel to refine the spell. After all, he had already used up his Taiyi Heaven Blasting Thunder Talisman. Having another spell would give him an extra layer of protection. Who knew if he would meet an enemy stronger than the Double-headed Tiger in the future? Using the White Bone Soul Flag to refine the restrictions, he didn't know how long it would take to collect the materials, so it didn't conform to the principle of being able to obtain it immediately. Secondly, he couldn't accept it.
After all the preparations were done, Shi Xuan directed Yan Jujian and Ding Mingde to set up the formation with the materials they bought. Then, he chopped the high-quality wood into pieces and placed them in the center of the formation. Finally, he placed the furnace he bought from a Daoist temple on top of the pieces of wood.
Shi Xuan used a spell to light the pieces of wood and preheat the furnace. At the same time, he had Yan Jujian and Ding Mingde stand by. To the current Shi Xuan, refining wasn't something he could do alone. It would be good to have them send the wood and fan the fire.
When the bottom of the furnace was heating up, Shi Xuan placed the White Bone Soul Flag and the small half of the flagpole into the furnace. He added some materials to help the flag melt later so that it would be easier for Shi Xuan to cut it.
Shi Xuan walked around the furnace and used the fire control spell in the refining book to concentrate the temperature of the flame on the broken part of the flag. Although there was no restriction and the part of the material that had been broken by the lightning was stable, the temperature of the wood fire was still far from being able to melt the unstable mixed materials at the broken part.
As he controlled the fire, he lifted the materials that he had just put in into the air like a string puppet to the broken part of the flag. These materials that weren't too high-grade could help melt when they came in contact with the original material.
With great difficulty, Shi Xuan diverted a bit of his attention and signaled Ding Mingde and Yan Jujian to prepare the wood so that they could add it at any time. Then, his eyes widened and he formed a spell. He used the fiercest method in the fire control spell. At the same time, he used the other third of his attention to turn the fire control spell to the maximum.
The orange-colored flame suddenly rose and engulfed the cauldron. Its color also turned yellow with a hint of white. Shi Xuan had been waiting for this moment. He controlled the heat produced in this moment to the hole on the flag through the formation and the formula. As expected, the broken part of the flag softened slightly.
Shi Xuan opened his mouth and a pale white wind blade flew straight at the broken part. After three blades, the broken part was finally torn horizontally. The small half of the flag with the hole was separated from the bottom.
However, at this time, Shi Xuan discovered that the furnace was actually burned. This was the place that he had overlooked. How could a normal furnace withstand such high temperature? Shi Xuan didn't have time to be upset. He focused his soul and a black seal character appeared in front of him. With a point of his finger, the seal character hit the flag. After the flag was half submerged in the flames, it finally stopped in mid-air.
"You two, quickly use the spell to control the flame!" Shi Xuan had no choice but to let the two of them go. Fortunately, they had rehearsed it before. The main thing was that Shi Xuan was worried that he wouldn't be able to do two things at the last moment. He didn't expect to use it now.
After a few months of cultivation, especially the imparting of immortal technique manuals in the last few days, Yan Jujian had a comprehensive understanding of it. It was not a problem for him to control the spirit design. Ding Mingde was also qualified to act as an assistant and add wood.
Shi Xuan waved the White Bone War Soul Streamer in a specific way according to the refining method. Black seal characters appeared in the air one after another, and were inserted into the broken part of the streamer's surface. They faintly merged with the intact streamer's surface. Finally, the upper half of the streamer's surface formed a border with a strange pattern.
Shi Xuan's Taoist robe was drenched in sweat and dried by the fire. However, it was not the time to succeed. The black seal characters hit the end of the flag pole and the upper half of the flag. The black seal characters drilled into the pole and into the flag. At the same time, Shi Xuan controlled the White Bone Soul Serving Flag to flip back and forth to make it easier for the seal characters to hit.
With a loud shout, the last seal script was formed and Shi Xuan pointed it at the black banner. When it was inserted into the black banner, the surrounding miasma and chaotic Qi surged towards the black banner, and a part of it successfully seeped into the black banner.
Although Shi Xuan was unusually tired, seeing that the ritual implement had been successfully reforged, the happiness in his heart suppressed the discomfort in his body and mind. He barely protected his body with spells and took the black flag out of the fire. At the same time, he signaled to Yan Jujian and Ding Mingde that they had succeeded and there was no need to control the flame anymore.
The entire black flag was a third smaller than before. It was only about the height of a person. There were strange patterns on the surface of the black flag. It looked demonic and dazzling, but the evil ghost head from before did not reappear. It must have been caused by the restriction of the White Bone Soul Serving Flag. It felt like gold to the touch.
Shi Xuan did not mistreat Yan Jujian and Ding Mingde. Although he put away the small half of the flag, he still gave the remaining pieces of the flag to the two of them. He also took out the remains of the flag pole and told the two of them to use half of it when forging weapons in the future. As for now, he let Yan Jujian take care of it. He would teach them the introductory knowledge of forging weapons in a few days. Of course, he would not teach them the evil parts that required blood sacrifice.
