Leaving Whale Fishing City and the Setting Sun Archipelago, Yan Zhaoge's group headed straight for the Jade Sun Mountain Range's Solitary Heart Peak.
Pan-Pan carried the Myriad Dragon Palace, speeding through the air.
Yan Zhaoge and the others were seated within the Myriad Dragon Palace. Ah Hu was diligently cultivating, Feng Yunsheng was meditating and Xiao Ai was entranced by a formation diagram that Yan Zhaoge had imparted to her.
The Northern Ocean Clone was similarly seated in the meditative position within the palace, a great spear placed horizontally across his knees.
Light flickered on the tip of the spear, resembling flowing fire as a powerful aura surged from within, tyrannical and authoritative.
It was none other than the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the King Xuan Spear.
With the Northern Ocean Clone's current cultivation base, it would not be easy for him to refine this weapon as he did not cultivate in the direct lineage of the Grand Xuan Dynasty's Five Fire True Art and Seven Fowl Treasured Spear.
Still, after more than half a year of careful refinement, this weapon had already fallen into the Northern Ocean Clone's hands now.
Yan Zhaoge did not interfere, instead allowing the Northern Ocean Clone to face it alone.
In this process of refinement, this high-grade Sacred Artifact resembled a whetstone as it was tempering the Northern Ocean Clone as well.
As the Northern Ocean Clone inhaled and exhaled, the many acupoints of his body shook together, resonating with the myriad stars of the universe.
More and more acupoints were unceasingly surpassing the bottleneck of refining their acupoints to see Divinity, possessing even more inconceivable power as the Northern Ocean Clone grew stronger and stronger.
Accompanied by the refinement of the King Xuan Spear, the Northern Ocean Clone currently stood at the peak of the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm, the early Seeing Divinity stage.
He was only a paper-thin distance away from surpassing the final bottleneck and breaking through to the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm, the mid Seeing Divinity stage.
The characteristic of the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm, the mid Seeing Divinity stage, was to light up the starfire within one's body.
When one refined their acupoints to see Divinity, the inner universe would appear and truly begin communicating with the outer universe, indicating that the martial practitioner's inner universe would begin to unceasingly form and be perfected.
During this process, one would have to continue raising the strength of their fleshly body's qi and blood in order to support more of their acupoints to resonate with the actual stars and see Divinity.
While refining their acupoints to see Divinity could strengthen the fleshly body in itself, the progress was still insufficient.
To unceasingly surpass the limits of the human body.
From the acupoints that had already been refined into divinity, the method was to give birth to a purifying fire and use it to cleanse the body. It was like the starlight in the internal universe had turned into starfire that flickered in the sky.
By lighting up the starfire in one's body, one would be able to further expand one's limits and support more acupoints to become Divinity, continuing to climb the path of martial arts.
In order to light up Starfire, just one acupoint alone was not enough. It required a certain number of acupoints that had become stars in the body.
Once the basic conditions were met, he could continue to try and figure it out to break through the final barrier.
The Northern Ocean Clone was currently already at this bottleneck, only having to light up starfire before he would be reborn once more, stepping into the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm.
At this time, Yan Zhaoge had already finished adjusting his condition. His attention fell on the Internal Crystal Furnace in front of him.
At this moment, this Internal Crystal Furnace of his was constantly being perfected and upgraded, having basically already regained its glory from before the Great Calamity.
With Yan Zhaoge's cultivation base as a Martial Saint, so long as he had sufficient materials, he could even mass-produce low-grade Sacred Artifacts.
Still, materials that could be used to forge Sacred Artifacts were always scarce. This was the case in the World beyond Worlds as well.
Yan Zhaoge guessed that perhaps the central Jun Heaven Territory and Kunlun Mountain would be more abundant?
At this moment, he was staring at the Internal Crystal Furnace, staring at a dark green bamboo cane that flickered with purple light.
As compared to before, this dark green bamboo cane had grown longer again, already nearing six feet in length from its original five feet in length.
The bamboo cane that had originally had five segments had now grown a sixth segment as well, and was about to be completed.
Yan Zhaoge weighed a sword in his hand, its sword-light resembling a long rainbow as it illuminated the heavens and the earth.
It was precisely the low-grade Sacred Artifact, the Glorious Rainbow Sword, which he had obtained from killing Liao Zheng of Shen Lingzi's lineage back when he had obtained the Earth Ocean Lung Crystals and the Heaven Bearing Ceremonial Fragrance.
As a sword Sacred Artifact, this was one of the weapons that Yan Zhaoge was more used to traversing the Royal Reed Sea for a period of time afterwards.
Still, it was already no longer of use now.
First not speaking of the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Evil Sword Taotie, just the weapon that he had just obtained from Sun Zhongda was a mid-grade Sacred Artifact that surpassed the Glorious Rainbow Sword.
Yan Zhaoge gazed at the Internal Crystal Furnace before tossing the Glorious Rainbow Sword within.
"While it can be unceasingly refined and strengthened along with the growth of my cultivation base, it still requires nourishment," Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips.
Using artifacts and spirit artifacts as firewood to burn, Yan Zhaoge himself actually didn't feel any psychological burden when burning Sacred Artifacts.
Still, Sacred Artifacts were hard to come by at the end of the day. While Yan Zhaoge was gradually unable to use low-grade Sacred Artifacts, there were many people by his side and in his lineage who could use them.
In the Eight Extremities World back then, a single low-grade Sacred Artifact had been sufficient to influence the overall situation of the world to a certain extent.
Even now, the number of low-grade Sacred Artifacts in the Eight Extremities World was actually still very limited.
Broad Creed Mountain having established its lineage and established its foundation in the World beyond Worlds, it similarly required sufficient resources.
Therefore, while Yan Zhaoge had accumulated some treasures through the loot of his enemies earlier, he had not directly burned them into the Internal Crystal Furnace to forge this bamboo cane of his.
Still, there was basically no need for him to consider this now.
Speaking of which, he still had to thank King Xuanmu.
After the battle of the Spirit Inheritance Region and the great battle in which the Grand Xuan Dynasty martial practitioners had descended into the Eight Extremities World, the spoils of war that Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain had obtained were not just the King Xuan Spear, the Cloud Commanding Spear and the Precipitous Golden Armour. There had also been an even more massive number of low-grade Sacred Artifacts.
While Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di and Yuan Zhengfeng had all been rather domineering in their attacks and some had inevitably been destroyed in the process of battle, there was still a considerable amount left.
On this basis, the more superior ones were kept while the remaining ones were given to Yan Zhaoge to burn as firewood.
For Broad Creed Mountain to establish itself in the World beyond Worlds, it currently had to rely more on high-end combat prowess like Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di, Feng Yunsheng and Yuan Zhengfeng.
As for the middle echelons, a long time would still be needed.
Now that the Internal Crystal Furnace had been completed, while Sacred Artifacts were hard to forge, there was still time for their resources to grow alongside their manpower.
Of course, if news of this spread, the other powers would definitely collapse upon hearing it.
Of the low-grade Sacred Artifacts that Yan Zhaoge had on him now, the Imperious Cold Martial Armour and the Fish Dragon Spear, had all already been burned into the Internal Crystal Furnace.
He still had use for the former while the latter was the first Sacred Artifact that he had forged and could be kept as a memento.
Other than the Green Abyss Sword that his Grand Master Yuan Zhengfeng had personally forged for him, Yan Zhaoge had long since refined all his other spirit artifacts.
Currently, the dark green bamboo cane that shone brightly within the Internal Crystal Furnace was Yan Zhaoge's greatest money-eater.
Still, Yan Zhaoge did not feel the slightest heartache as he was all smiles as he looked at that dark green bamboo cane.
Money eater aside, this was a treasure that Yan Zhaoge had personally forged from scratch, growing along with him step by step to this day. Its true potential had only just been revealed. (To be continued.)
