Crack — —
A thunderbolt as thick as a bucket fell and bombarded the material that Qin Shujian was hammering.
Regarding this —
Qin Shujian did not stop it at all.
Now it was only in the melting stage. Because there were too many materials, it caused a qualitative change.
Now that the thunderbolt fell, it was a good thing for Qin Shujian.
As the sledgehammer fell —
The power of the thunderbolt that came down was all scattered and then integrated into the material.
Suddenly — —
The material that had already become transparent was now dyed with a faint purple color. That was the power of the thunderbolt of heaven and earth.
Bang!
Boom!
Every time the hammer fell, the material solidified a little, and also caused a thunderbolt to fall.
It was an intimidating aura.
It had already spread faintly.
In the eyes of others, they only saw a giant that was three thousand feet tall, holding a sledgehammer and hammering in an orderly manner. Every time the hammer fell, there was a myriad of Dao Rhymes overflowing.
Heaven and earth shook.
Accompanied by the sound of thunder — —
At this moment, in the eyes of some people, Qin Shujian did not seem to be hammering the material, but more like hammering the entire world.
Fang Yilan did not know much about forging, so she could not see too many clues.
After watching for a while, she turned her head to look at Su Zhan and said, "Can you see anything?"
"Very strong!"
Su Zhan just said two words simply.
In his view, every time Qin Shujian hammered, it just happened to fall on the most ingenious node of the material, to the greatest extent, removing the impurities in the material.
This kind of method was not something that ordinary people could do.
Even Su Zhan could not completely remove all the impurities in a material.
Once all the impurities were removed, it was equivalent to returning to the most primitive state. That state had already surpassed the level of the ninth level.
At this moment, in Su Zhan's view — —
Qin Shujian's hammering was forging all the materials to a perfect level.
At this moment, he already had some understanding in his heart.
On the other side — —
Fang Yilan's face was also slightly solemn.
Su Zhan was proud and arrogant. If even he said that Qin Shujian was very strong, then it meant that Qin Shujian was really strong.
Another two days passed — —
The thunderbolt had already dissipated.
But the sky was still covered by dark clouds, as if something terrible was brewing.
Now, all of the materials had been melted.
Qin Shujian took out five Innate Embryos from his Storage Ring and threw them all into the melted materials.
"What?!"
Su Zhan was shocked.
Fang Yilan said, "What's wrong with that?"
"One Innate Embryo can be forged into a Dao Artifact. Under normal circumstances, five Innate Embryos should be gradually merged into the Dao Artifact. This way, the power of the Lightning Tribulation and the difficulty of merging them will be greatly reduced.
If he reached his limit, he could stop halfway.
But now that he has thrown in five Innate Stage embryos, it means that from the beginning of the forging, the difficulty will be at its peak. Once his strength can't support it, it will completely fail. "
Su Zhan's expression was grave.
It didn't matter if he failed.
However, if he failed, all those ninth tier materials and five innate embryos would all be destroyed.
So many materials were lost.
Even Su Zhan felt heartache for Qin Shujian.
With the addition of the Innate Embryos, the entire forging process reached its peak.
At this moment.
Qin Shujian's muscles were all twisted together. With a solemn expression, he held the sledgehammer in his hand and smashed it down heavily.
He didn't use his Spiritual Force to form the sledgehammer because there was no need for that.
In terms of effect, Spiritual Force and Vital Essence were the same.
However, in terms of appearance.
The former was more pretentious, while the latter was more simple.
If it was in the past, Qin Shujian would definitely use the Spiritual Force sledgehammer to temper it. However, he couldn't do so now.
This time, he was forging Cold Mountain City.
He had already invested too much. If he failed, he would be so heartbroken that he would cry.
Therefore.
Now was not the time to be pretentious. As long as the Dao Artifact was successfully forged, that would be the real pretentious moment.
Bang —
The sledgehammer fell. The flames instantly disappeared.
At this moment, there was no need for flames. With the integration of the Innate Embryos, he only needed to keep hammering and combining the two into one.
As the flames dispersed.
Qin Shujian condensed the Vital Essence sledgehammer with all his strength and suddenly smashed it down.
The sledgehammer fell.
The void shook.
After the integration of the Innate Embryos, the liquid-like materials gradually solidified under the sledgehammer's hammering.
A squarish silhouette had already appeared.
And when the outline appeared, the dark clouds in the sky finally brewed to the extreme.
Crack —
A thick purple lightning bolt bombarded down.
In an instant, the mighty heavenly might caused everyone's expression to change drastically.
In front of the purple lightning, those great cultivators of the God Martial Arts Realm already felt a terrifying threat.
Su Zhan whispered, "It's going to be promoted to a Dao Artifact!"
Yes.
It was going to be promoted to a Dao Artifact.
Now was the beginning of the solidification process, and there was already a Dao Artifact Thunder Tribulation descending. Once the Thunder Tribulation passed, it would become a one-seal Dao Artifact.
If there was a Dao Artifact Thunder Tribulation descending when the solidification was successful.
Then this Dao Artifact could at least become a two-seal Dao Artifact in the end, or perhaps even stronger.
But when the solidification began, there was a Dao Artifact Thunder Tribulation descending.
Then this Dao Artifact.
In the end, it would definitely not be as simple as a two-seal Dao Artifact.
Su Zhan took a deep breath.
He had already thought about it. After this matter was over, no matter what, he would invite Qin Shujian over to help forge the Eastern Continent's portal.
When it came to forging.
Su Zhan had always thought that no one in the world could surpass him.
Even for other Grandmasters of forging, he was very disdainful in his heart.
But now.
Su Zhan finally understood that there was always someone better than him in this world.
When it came to forging.
He was not as good as Qin Shujian.
At this point, the forging had progressed to almost half of the stage.
The blacksmiths who came to observe all gained a lot.
However.
The ones who really gained a lot were those high-grade blacksmiths and Grandmasters of forging.
This time's observation.
It had already paved the way for them to become Masters and Grandmasters in the future.
After completely digesting these things, they would at least have a certain success rate even if they did not have a 100% chance of breaking through.
Originally, they had spent a ninth-tier material as a stepping stone.
For many people, it was quite a heartache.
But now.
But no one felt heartache.
For them, a ninth-tier material in exchange for a chance to observe was really worth it.
If it was possible.
They would rather use more ninth-tier materials in exchange for a few more chances to observe. In this way, they would be able to break through 100%.
But —
This kind of thing could only be thought of.
Perhaps after this time, there would not be such an opportunity again for thousands of years.
So.
No one dared to be careless or distracted. They all watched Qin Shujian's every move seriously, secretly verifying with the path they had taken, trying to deduce a higher level.
Rumble!
Thunder fell, and the power of heaven was vast.
Qin Shujian held the vital essence sledgehammer in his hand and knocked on the solid material.
Now, he did not dare to be distracted easily.
With each strike of the hammer, Ye Zichen was stunned.
The outline gradually became clear and solid.
Another three days passed.
The Lightning Tribulation disappeared, and the city could now be seen from the square outline.
The moment the thunder tribulation dissipated.
A Dao seal was already engraved in it.
The appearance of the Dao seal meant that what Qin Shujian was forging now officially stepped into the level of a Dao artifact.
Although it was only a one-seal Dao artifact.
But in the eyes of others, it was already shocking.
Unlike the last time Qin Shujian forged a Dao artifact by himself, this time, the Dao artifact was completed in front of everyone.
Now that the Dao seal had been formed.
Even if the forging failed, no one would say anything.
A forging master said with emotion, "I have no regrets to see the birth of a Dao artifact in my lifetime!"
In the direction of the Nine Palaces Sect.
Ling Huaiyu's beautiful face had become serious, and her beautiful eyes stared at Qin Shujian motionlessly.
"A Dao artifact!"
"It's already a one-seal Dao artifact, so when this Dao artifact is completed, it will be at least a three-seal level!"
A three-seal Dao artifact!
Even among the top sects, it was at the level of a sect.
In the cultivation world.
There were only a few four-seal Dao artifacts.
Many top sects only had a three-seal Dao artifact to suppress their luck. As for the higher level, it was very difficult.
Only in the hands of the imperial court.
Only then could there be a high-level Dao artifact.
In the past, the 13 Constabularies had a six-seal Dao artifact.
Right now, the Dao artifact that Qin Shujian was forging already had the foundation of a top sect. As long as there were no problems, when the Dao artifact was completed, it would definitely be at the three-seal level.
Until now.
Ling Huaiyu no longer had the intention to compete with Qin Shujian. She could only observe the other party's forging process with an attitude of learning humbly.
Qin Yuanbai didn't understand forging.
But he understood Ling Huaiyu.
Ling Huaiyu's solemn expression had already explained a lot.
"Elder Ling, what do you think his chances of success are now?"
"If we don't consider the interference of the Thunder Tribulation, the success rate is at least 80%. If it's considered a Thunder Tribulation, it's hard to say." Ling Huaiyu replied with a rather meaningless answer.
Then.
She changed the topic and said, "At this point, regardless of whether he succeeds or not, it's a success for Qin Shujian. Because the Dao seal has been formed, it proves that the forging of the Dao artifact has been successful."
Did he succeed?
Qin Yuanbai looked at the Dao seal that was emitting heavenly might and was silent for a moment.
It was a success!
Because the Dao seal had already appeared.
Then, Qin Yuanbai said, "If the Nine Palaces Sect can provide innate embryos, Elder Ling, are you confident that you can forge a Dao artifact?"
"Sect Master, are you talking about something like Qin Shujian or an ordinary one-seal Dao artifact?"
"What do you think, Elder Ling?"
"If it's like Qin Shujian, I can't do it. If it's just a one-seal Dao artifact, I have a 30% chance of success."
Ling Huaiyu thought for a moment and gave a fairly accurate answer.
A 30% chance.
This success rate was already not small.
If it was in the past, Ling Huaiyu could say it in a very proud tone, but now, she didn't have this idea.
Forging Dao artifacts was indeed very powerful.
But one had to distinguish between people.
With a gem like Qin Shujian in front of her, Ling Huaiyu didn't think that she was qualified to compete.
Beside her, Qin Yuanbai was also slightly silent.
He could hear the lack of confidence in Ling Huaiyu's words.
At this moment.
Qin Shujian was still forging.
Even with his vast vital essence, after such a long period of continuous forging, he had consumed nearly one-third of the vital essence in his body.
Bang — —
Another hammer fell, the void twisted crazily, and a vast wave spread out.
No one knew when.
The thunder tribulation had fallen again.
Dao artifact!
Every time a Dao artifact was forged, it would attract a thunder tribulation.
The last thunder tribulation was a one-seal Dao artifact.
This time, the arrival of the thunder tribulation meant that the Dao artifact was transforming from a one-seal to a two-seal.
"Ha!"
The pressure suddenly increased. Qin Shujian focused his mind, and only the vital essence hammer in his hand and the Cold Mountain City that had already condensed below.
At this moment.
He seemed to have changed places.
In the dark.
A familiar force was being summoned. Originally, because of the long tempering, he felt a little tired, but at this moment, it disappeared.
Not only that.
A new force surged from Qin Shujian's body, making the strength of his hammer even more terrifying.
Boom — —
The shadow of the long river came rushing over.
The vast river came from the void and went into the void.
And when the vast river appeared, it was as if it had been struck by lightning.
Su Zhan and Fang Yilan's expressions changed greatly.
"The long river of laws!"
They did not expect that at this time, Qin Shujian would draw out the long river of laws.
The long river of laws.
It existed in the dark, between reality and illusion.
If one wanted to summon the long river of laws, they would have to touch the laws to a very deep level, or completely master the laws. Only then would it be possible to summon it.
Or else …
If others wanted to summon the long river of laws, there was only one possibility.
It was the cultivator's own belief.
In an instant, the compatibility with the long river of laws rose to an extremely high level.
Su Zhan stared at the long river of laws and said in disbelief, "How could he summon the long river of laws at this time? Could it be that the laws he understands are unique to the forging path?"
If that was the case.
Qin Shujian was born to be a blacksmith.
Fang Yilan also stared at it. After a long time, she shook her head and said, "No, it's not the forging path's laws. I feel an incomparable power from it. Maybe what he's compatible with is not the forging path's laws, but the power laws!"
"The power laws!"
Su Zhan's expression was a little strange.
There were very few people who could simply comprehend the rules of power.
Those who used saber techniques and comprehended saber intent were generally compatible with the saber laws.
Those who used sword techniques and comprehended sword intent were generally compatible with the sword laws.
Even those who used fists to fight enemies were likely to be compatible with the fist laws.
There were countless laws between heaven and earth, and any one of them could be comprehended. However, the power laws were different because such laws were too general.
Any cultivator.
They would use power.
But there was no one in the current human race who could truly comprehend the power laws.
To put it bluntly.
Every cultivator would use power, but very few cultivators would actually feel the existence of power.
This was a very mysterious thing.
Originally, Su Zhan thought that Qin Shujian would comprehend something similar to the saber dao.
After all, he had heard of it before.
He knew that Qin Shujian's saber technique had also reached an extremely profound level.
But he never thought that.
Qin Shujian would be compatible with the power laws.
Then.
Su Zhan took another deep breath and said, "To be able to summon the long river of laws at this time, even if he didn't reach the sixth level of the Celestial Human realm before, I'm afraid he's almost there now."
Once the long river of laws was summoned, the level of understanding would skyrocket.
Not to mention reaching the seventh level of the Celestial Human realm and touching the laws.
But at least.
At the stage of understanding the laws, it had already reached an incredible level.
Fang Yilan sighed and said, "It seems that our human race is really going to have another powerhouse!"
The powerhouse that she was talking about.
It was at least the peak of the Saint realm, or even a half-step almighty existence.
The vassals rebelled.
A large number of peak Saint realm powerhouses had fallen, and it had already weakened the human race by a lot.
It was just that the demon race had been expelled now, so it was not obvious.
But to be serious.
In the various mansions.
Now, they were lacking a sixth level of the Celestial Human realm to suppress.
Under such circumstances.
An additional vassal-level powerhouse would be a good thing for the human race.
And in Fang Yilan's opinion.
Qin Shujian would definitely not stop at the sixth level of the Celestial Human realm.
With the other party's talent.
The probability of him breaking through to the almighty realm in the future was almost 100%.
On the other side.
At this time, Qin Yuanbai had completely fallen into a daze, and the smile on his face had also stiffened.
Looking at the illusory long river.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
What was that? If he was not mistaken, it should be the legendary long river of laws!
The inheritance of the Nine Palace Sect was not weak.
At its peak, it had also given birth to a Saint realm powerhouse.
As the current sect master of the Nine Palace Sect, although Qin Yuanbai had not reached the Saint realm, he still knew about the existence of the laws.
But knowing was one thing.
When he really saw the laws, he still could not suppress the shock in his heart.
"The long river of laws, could it be that Qin Shujian has really advanced to the fourth level of the Celestial Human realm?"
Qin Yuanbai did not dare to believe it, nor did he want to believe it.
Before coming to the Liang Mountain Spirit Domain, he also scoffed at Qin Shujian's title of the number one powerhouse in the cultivation world.
As the saying went.
There was no first place in literature, and there was no second place in martial arts.
Before they truly fought, the so-called number one title was nothing more than a joke to others.
Only those ordinary cultivators would believe in this title.
For a top powerhouse like Qin Yuanbai, unless he was really beaten into submission, he would not think that he was weaker than others.
It was just that —
The moment he saw the long river of laws.
Qin Yuanbai's heart was in a mess.
Fourth level of the Celestial Human realm!
The long river of laws!
Even if Qin Shujian had just stepped into the fourth level of the Celestial Human realm, his strength was not something he could compete with.
Moreover.
Qin Yuanbai looked at the long river of laws that was summoned. In his heart, he did not believe that Qin Shujian was only at the fourth level of the Celestial Human realm.
Originally, he still had the thought of exchanging pointers with Qin Shujian.
But now, there was no more.
Because there was no need for that.
When the long river of laws appeared, Qin Yuanbai knew that he had lost because of the other party's cultivation base.
Lost before the fight.
For him, this was something that was very difficult to accept.
But the matter was in front of him, and Qin Yuanbai would not ask for humiliation.
On the side, Ling Huaiyu was also shocked by the appearance of the long river of laws, but she was just a great cultivator at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm. She did not understand the laws at all, nor did she recognize the long river of laws.
So.
The moment she saw the long river of laws, Ling Huaiyu turned her head to look at Qin Yuanbai, wanting to get an answer from him.
But just as she turned her head, she saw Qin Yuanbai's pale face.
Instantly.
Ling Huaiyu's heart sank, and she asked, "Does Sect Master know what that illusory long river is?"
"I know!" Qin Yuanbai's expression recovered a little, and then he spat out a few words with difficulty, "The long river of laws!"
The long river of laws?
Ling Huaiyu's eyes flashed with doubt.
Qin Yuanbai glanced at her and added, "Only powerhouses above the fourth level of the Celestial Human realm can understand the laws, and only then can they summon the long river of laws."
Boom!
These words shocked Ling Huaiyu so much that her delicate body trembled.
She didn't know anything else.
But Ling Huaiyu still understood the words' fourth level of the Celestial Human realm '.
"Sect, Sect Master means, means that Qin Shujian is already at the fourth level of the Celestial Human realm?"
Her tone was a little stuttering, and she seemed a little nervous.
There was no other way.
This news was too shocking.
Qin Yuanbai also calmed down a lot at this moment, took a deep breath, and said, "If I'm not wrong, he's at least at the fourth level of the Celestial Human realm, maybe even higher."
"Didn't he just break through to the Celestial Human realm not long ago? How could this be! "
Ling Huaiyu couldn't believe it.
Qin Yuanbai shook his head and said, "There's no need to investigate the cause. Qin Shujian's advancement to the Saint realm is without a doubt. Our Nine Palace Sect can't be enemies with him in the future!"
They couldn't fight against him!
At least before the Nine Palace Sect had a Saint realm powerhouse, they couldn't fall out with Yuan Zong.
Or else …
Even if the Nine Palace Sect used all their trump cards, they might not be able to resist.
After seeing Qin Shujian's strength.
Killing intent rose in Qin Yuanbai's heart.
This killing intent wasn't directed at Qin Shujian, but at the Yin Yang Sect and the Crimson Heaven Sect.
The two sects had initially blocked Yin Bancheng's breakthrough with the tacit consent of the Nine Palace Sect. Later on, when Yuan Zong secretly attacked the two sects, the Nine Palace Sect had also stopped them.
After all, they were the sects of the White Yong Prefecture.
It was impossible for the Nine Palace Sect to sit back and watch the two sects suffer from Yuan Zong's persecution.
But now …
Qin Yuanbai no longer had the idea of protecting the two sects.
Because Yuan Zong was too strong. If Yuan Zong found an excuse to attack them for the sake of the two sects, or bore a grudge, it would be a terrible nightmare for the Nine Palace Sect.
Although the Yin Yang Sect and the Crimson Heaven Sect were Bai Yong Prefecture's sects.
But to the Nine Palace Sect, they didn't have much of a connection.
At this moment.
Qin Yuanbai had already given up on the two sects in his heart. Not only that, he was also considering whether to take the initiative to condemn the two sects and then sell Yuan Zong a favor.
But once he did so, the Nine Palace Sect would be a little embarrassed.
Just as Qin Yuanbai was struggling.
The spectators were also shocked by the long river of laws.
The illusory long river was nurturing a terrifying power, suppressing the void and condensing it.
But just like Ling Huaiyu.
If one wasn't a Celestial Human, they wouldn't know what laws were, let alone the existence of the long river of laws.
So.
Although the others were shocked, they didn't know anything about the long river of laws.
On the other side.
When the long river of laws appeared, Qin Shujian's strength skyrocketed.
Every thunderbolt that fell was scattered by his hammer, and then injected the power into the Dao Artifact.
The Thunder Tribulation this time.
It lasted for a full five days.
The moment the thunderbolts retreated, the city had become clear, and the two Dao Seals emitted a terrifying Heavenly Might.
At this point.
The two-seal Dao Artifact had been formed!
