When Zhao Hai saw the flame, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. This cauldron was the eye of the entire Nine Palace Flying Star Formation. The eye of the formation wasn't randomly set up. Take the Nine Palace Flying Star Formation as an example. The Nine Palace Flying Star Formation contained the Eight Trigrams as well as the Four Divisions. The cauldron was placed in the middle of the formation. It had the intention of stabilizing the four directions and suppressing the nine continents.
Zhao Hai's Nine Palace Flying Star Formation was powered by the Earth Fire. The Earth Fire was very violent. If the cauldron wasn't used to suppress it, then the Holy Academy's mountain wouldn't be as warm as it was now. It would turn into a flaming mountain. Although it wouldn't be a barren land, it wouldn't be suitable for human habitation.
Because the energy source was the Earth Fire, the flame appeared on the cauldron. And this flame wasn't an ordinary thing. This flame was the core of the Nine Palace Flying Star Formation. During wartime, this flame was the best weapon to attack the enemy. During peacetime, this flame was the best flame to refine artifacts. It was much stronger than ordinary flames.
As the flame rose, the entire Holy Academy's mountain was suddenly shrouded in a layer of fog. This fog was divided into nine colors. It constantly alternated in the air and looked very beautiful.
Then, the nine-colored fog slowly disappeared. Nine clouds appeared above the mountainous area of the Sacred Academy. These clouds were also divided into nine colors and looked very beautiful.
These nine clouds weren't motionless. Instead, they seemed to follow a certain pattern, constantly drifting. However, they didn't leave the mountain range of the Sacred Academy. Moreover, when a cloud moved to another mountain, the color of the cloud would change accordingly. It was very beautiful.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Hai finally let out a long breath. This was because this meant that the Nine Palace Flying Star Formation was a success. Although the current Nine Palace Flying Star Formation couldn't correspond to the constellations in the sky and couldn't display its full power, it was enough for now.
Zhao Hai looked at the Sacred Institution Mountain. He believed that as long as the main peak wasn't breached, and as long as the cauldron was fine, then the Sacred Institution Mountain would be impregnable. Moreover, the weather would be favorable.
However, Zhao Hai was very clear that the Nine Palace Flying Star Formation was just the beginning. He had already looked through the map of the entire Spirit Weapon Realm. Moreover, he had chosen nine locations in the Spirit Weapon Realm to establish nine large formations. The eye of each formation was a cauldron. This was the Nine Cauldrons Suppressing the Nine Continents. As long as his plan succeeded, then the Spirit Weapon Realm would become a place rich in spiritual energy. People would live in peace and contentment. The weather would also be favorable, and the Spirit Weapon Realm would become better and better.
However, this plan wasn't so easy to complete. He had just arranged one formation. There were still eight formations waiting for him to arrange. It wouldn't be easy to arrange all eight formations. It would take a long time, and Zhao Hai didn't seem to have a lot of time.
Although half a year had passed and no one came to trouble them, Zhao Hai didn't dare to take it lightly. This was because Zhao Hai was very clear that for a cultivator, half a year wasn't much. Half a year was too short for a cultivator.
The people in the Spirit Weapon Realm didn't know much about cultivators, but Zhao Hai understood them very well. Cultivators would often go into seclusion. Sometimes, it would take a few years, or even decades. Half a year might pass in the blink of an eye for them.
Because of this concept of time, a lot of cultivators would drag their feet when doing things. In fact, these cultivators couldn't be blamed. It was because their concept of time was very different from ordinary cultivators.
For many ordinary people, a month was not a short time. They could do a lot of things. But for Cultivators, a month was just enough for them to succeed in their seclusion. There was really no comparison between this time and the time they spent in seclusion.
Therefore, although the people behind the Sacred Academy hadn't come to trouble Zhao Hai for half a year, Zhao Hai didn't dare to take it lightly. If he thought that the other party wouldn't come after them for half a year, then he would be too naive. When the other party comes, then they would be dumbfounded.
Because of this, Zhao Hai hadn't relaxed in the past half a year. The Spirit Weapon Realm was developing hard, and the Secret Realm was developing well. At the same time, the construction of the Sacred Academy's mountain area had been completed. But in Zhao Hai's view, this wasn't enough. At the very least, they still didn't have a large artifact. This would become their weakness.
In a war, no one was clearer than Zhao Hai about how large an artifact could be. He had used too many large artifacts in the past, and the appearance of large artifacts could determine the direction of a war.
But now, the Spirit Weapon Realm didn't have any large artifacts. Not only that, they didn't even have the method to refine them. In this case, it was impossible for Zhao Hai to use large artifacts to fight against the people behind the Sacred Academy.
If they only relied on the Sacred Academy's mountain area for defense, then they would be too passive. This wasn't Zhao Hai's style of doing things. Therefore, the matter of refining large artifacts had already been put on Zhao Hai's agenda.
The large artifacts that Zhao Hai wanted to refine were true large artifacts. They were different from the Jasper Golden Light Sword that Zhao Hai used. Although the Jasper Golden Light Sword was very large, it was still inferior to a true large artifact. Therefore, if Zhao Hai wanted to use a true large artifact, then he would have to use a true large artifact.
In the past, there weren't any large artifacts in the Spirit Weapon Realm. First, there weren't any methods to refine large artifacts. Large artifacts weren't easy to refine. This was especially true for refining large artifacts. This was because a lot of Cultivator Realms believed that refining artifacts required fire. The water refining method that Zhao Hai knew about was something that didn't even exist in the Cultivation Realms.
It was not easy to use fire to refine a large instrument, because the large instrument was too big. Before it was completely refined, there was no way to change the size of the large instrument. Under such circumstances, it was obviously very laborious to use fire to refine such a large instrument.
Large artifacts were different from small artifacts. If you want to make a sword, it wouldn't be difficult because you can keep hammering it. As long as you use the right method, the sword will become a good sword. It just depends on how much effort you put into it. Although there was a requirement for fire, it wasn't very high.
However, large artifacts were different. If a large artifact was too big, one wouldn't be able to forge it because it was too big. Moreover, large artifacts were often in the shape of carriages or ships. Under such circumstances, how could one forge it? There was simply no other way. Therefore, you could only work on fire and use a stronger fire to remove the impurities in the materials. This would allow the large artifact to reach the desired strength. Only then would it succeed.
However, the Spirit Weapon Realm was a low-level realm. In this realm, it was almost impossible to find a flame that was strong enough. Therefore, if one wanted to refine a large artifact in the Spirit Weapon Realm, then one must first find a suitable flame.
Large artifacts had high requirements for the strength of the artifact. This was because if you use a small artifact, then when you fight, you can have your small artifact avoid the opponent's artifact. This way, you wouldn't need to worry about your artifact being damaged.
However, large artifacts were different. Large artifacts were very big targets. If you don't make the materials strong enough, then your large artifact would be finished when the opponent attacks. It was just like making a large boat out of paper, then when the opponent attacks, your large artifact would be cut in half. If the strength wasn't strong enough, then it would be useless.
However, Zhao Hai now believed that the Spirit Weapon Realm could also make large artifacts. This was because they already had the conditions to do so.
Let's talk about the method to refine large artifacts first. Zhao Hai had the method to refine large artifacts. In the past, he had done it more than once or twice. Therefore, the method to refine large artifacts wasn't a problem for him, so he could solve it himself.
The fire needed to refine large artifacts was something that Zhao Hai didn't have a solution to before. But now, he had a solution. This fire was the fire above the Nine Palace Flying Star Formation's eye. Although the fire looked small, it wasn't an ordinary fire. The reason it was so small right now was because it was suppressed by the cauldron. Moreover, it wasn't the time to use it, so it was small. Once it was used, then the fire would naturally become bigger. In theory, the fire could become infinitely bigger. Therefore, the fire needed to refine large artifacts was now available.
Therefore, there was no need to refine large artifacts. Finally, there was the problem of the materials needed to refine large artifacts. It was very difficult for low-level realms to refine large artifacts. One of the biggest reasons was the lack of materials. Some materials in high-level realms couldn't be found in low-level realms. It was precisely because of the lack of high-level materials that they couldn't refine high-level artifacts.
Although cultivators could use purification methods to refine low-level materials into high-level materials, there was also a problem. It was too time-consuming and expensive. Take iron as an example. If you want to refine ordinary iron into high-level refined iron, the ratio would be 10,000 to 1. In other words, 10,000 jin of iron would be refined into one jin of refined iron. However, refined iron couldn't be regarded as a high-level material, it could only be regarded as a mid-level material. If you want to refine fine iron into high-grade refined iron, then the ratio would be about 10,000 to 1. In other words, if you want to refine ordinary iron into high-grade refined iron, then the ratio would be about 10,000 to 1. In other words, if you want to refine ordinary iron into high-grade refined iron, then you would need at least 100 million jin of ordinary iron. Note that this was iron, not iron ore. This ratio was too frightening.
But this problem could be solved by Zhao Hai. Although he couldn't make so many high-grade materials, he could use a lot of low-grade materials to make alloys. These alloys might have some shortcomings, but in terms of strength, they might not be worse than high-grade materials.
