"He is indeed talented in this area. He asked me for the Octagonal Formation of the small world and is preparing to research transcendent artifact formations. At the same time, he's preparing to decipher the Star Bell's refining method to see if he can refine a single bell with multiple links. He thinks the current Star Bell is too troublesome to use, so he asked you to give him any rare transcendent artifacts you find in the outside world." As she spoke, Yun Zhiqiu retracted the Flowing Cloud Killer and transformed back into a red metal orb on her palm. She handed it over to Miao Yi.
"You gave him the Octagonal Formation?" Miao Yi looked shocked, as if reminding her of the Octagonal Formation's value. It would be a huge loss if it was destroyed.
Yun Zhiqiu nodded. "It's fine to let him study it. Just based on the transcendent artifact he refined for you, it's fine to give it to him. Is there any transcendent artifact more important than your own life?"
Miao Yi was speechless.
"Alright! You're not such a petty person. "
"What does this have to do with being petty? You know how they refine transcendent artifacts. They specialize in refining and destroying transcendent artifacts. When they're studying someone else's transcendent artifacts, they often tear them apart to examine them. He's already destroyed so many artifacts in Heaven's Avenue. Even if he wanted to study you, he wouldn't have given you such an expensive gift."
Yun Zhiqiu rolled her eyes. "Then should I ask him for it back?"
Miao Yi was speechless. He quickly changed the topic and pointed at the other item in her hand. "What is this?"
Yun Zhiqiu revealed sixteen small red crystal orbs the size of soybeans. Each of them had a small hook on them that looked a little like a woman's earrings. She said, "This is a good item. Yao Ruoxian spent a lot of effort to refine it. Don't underestimate its size. According to Yao Ruoxian, this is the culmination of his many years of experience and painstaking efforts in researching deflecting transcendent artifacts. It's a defensive transcendent artifact. He said that the armor and the Inversed-Scales Spear he refined for you pales in comparison to this. They're not even worthy of carrying your shoes. This is for you to protect yourself. If you use it properly, it can even help you block a Colorful Lotus cultivator for a while. He spent a lot of effort and time drawing countless diagrams to refine this life-saving item for you. Just based on this transcendent artifact alone, it's worth it to give him the Octagonal Formation. "
"Oh!" Miao Yi's interest was immediately piqued. "This little thing is so powerful that it can withstand the attack of a Colorful Lotus cultivator?"
It had to be known that even if he was wearing the Red Crystal Battle Armor, it would still be difficult for him to withstand a blow from a Colorful Lotus cultivator. Perhaps the battle armor would be fine, but the flesh inside would definitely be ravaged by the violent attack.
Yun Zhiqiu chuckled. "If you equip this artifact with you, you'll be able to save your life if you encounter an attack from an expert at a critical juncture. These sixteen orbs might be able to save your life sixteen times over. Initially, he had intended to forge a few more for you, but after considering that even these sixteen orbs wouldn't be able to help you fend off an enemy, it wouldn't matter how many of them you carried on you. After all, this artifact had its own flaws, and there wasn't enough time to forge it. Yao Ruoxian gave it a rather unpleasant name, and called it 'Unbreakable'! "
"Unbreakable?" Miao Yi was taken aback. His eyes lit up as he said, "Come, come, come. Let's give it a try. Let's see how you can't break it."
Yun Zhiqiu looked around at the quiet room, then shook his head and said, "This isn't a good place to use it. Let's find a place outside and try it."
"Alright!" Miao Yi nodded. The two of them then left the quiet room and entered the underground river through the tunnel.
As they dove into the underground river, Yun Zhiqiu noticed that Miao Yi would occasionally turn his head to look behind him. He couldn't help but transmit his voice over and ask, "What are you looking at in this pitch-black water?"
"Nothing much. I'm just being careful." Miao Yi casually brushed it off. In reality, there was a tunnel leading to the underground river at the Hall of Heroes as well. However, the entrance to the tunnel was at the back. Y just happened to come running over.
When they arrived at the Hall of Clouds, the two of them changed their appearances and left the Celestial Avenue. Then, they took to the skies and found a secluded celestial body amidst the vast expanse of space. Then, they set up a formation to test their transcendent artifacts.
"Watch carefully!" Yun Zhiqiu reminded. With a flip of her hand, she took out the sixteen small spheres and held them in her palm. With a flick of her palm, the sixteen spheres immediately shone with a golden radiance, displaying the power of a Fifth Grade Transcendent Artifact. They hovered in the air, and under the guidance of Yun Zhiqiu's transcendence arts, they suddenly spread out and hung on Yun Zhiqiu's clothes. The front of her chest, the left and right arms, both legs, the back, and even one on her hairpin. They didn't look too eye-catching. If one wasn't careful, they would have mistaken them for her accessories.
After she was ready, she reminded, "When you participate in the trial, you can hang them on your armor like this and be on guard at all times. You can also keep them in your storage bangle and take them out when you need to use them."
Miao Yi still didn't understand what she meant, but Yun Zhiqiu was already smiling and beckoning him over. "Come! Come at me with everything you have. Let's see if this transcendent artifact of mine can defend against you. "
Miao Yi glanced at the spheres on her body and was a little eager. "You really want me to attack you with everything I have? I don't want to hurt you. "
"Cut the crap. I have a transcendent artifact to protect me. You can just attack me."
"Are you going to use your bare hands or weapons?"
"Up to you. Use your weapons!"
"Alright! Be careful now. "As soon as Miao Yi said this, he took out the Inversed-Scales Spear and charged forward, thrusting it forward.
Yun Zhiqiu invoked her arts with a flip of her palm, and a small sphere on her chest immediately flew out with a red glow, turning into a large red sphere in front of her.
'Boom!' With a loud bang, Miao Yi's spear struck the metallic red sphere.
After hitting it, he immediately realized that the defensive capabilities of this so-called transcendent artifact weren't all that impressive, and it was instantly caved in.
He was still worried that he might have used too much force and hurt Yun Zhiqiu, who was behind him. Who knew that something strange would happen? The side that he struck didn't break, but the other side broke and bounced back. After it broke, it flipped over like an umbrella in the face of a strong gust of wind.
Miao Yi didn't expect something like this to happen. Caught off guard, he found himself trapped inside the sphere's space.
As soon as the sphere was attacked, it immediately wrapped around Miao Yi as if it was a conditioned reflex. Miao Yi raised his spear and scanned his surroundings within the small room. He didn't sense any attacks, so he immediately swung his spear again. With a loud boom, the sphere that was wrapping around him rebounded once more.
He regained his freedom, and the sphere returned to its original state. Just as he was about to attack Yun Zhiqiu again, she raised her hand and gestured for him to stop. She asked with a smile, "Niu Er, what do you think of this transcendent artifact?"
Miao Yi sheathed his spear and looked at the large sphere with a frown. "Not much. It can only block one attack. I don't see any use for it."
Yun Zhiqiu sneered, "I've been going easy on you, and you still don't know what's good for you? Do you know that if I had sealed it with my arts just now, you would have been trapped in there forever? Unless your cultivation base has reached the point where you can break through its red crystal shell."
Miao Yi was taken aback. "You mean to say that after you wrapped it around me just now, it could seal me?"
Yun Zhiqiu nodded. "That's how amazing it is. The higher one's cultivation, the more ferocious the attack, and the faster it can borrow the force of the attack. Add that to the inertia of the attacker's body, and if you're unprepared, and you run into it, you'll definitely be at a disadvantage. You've already experienced this just now. The most amazing thing about it is its ability to borrow the force of the attack. No matter how powerful an attack is, it will be difficult to destroy it. "
As she said that, she punched the sphere. The sphere immediately inverted, instantly trapping the two of them within it. Yun Zhiqiu invoked a spell, and a series of faint cracking sounds came from all around them. "I've already locked it tightly. The people trapped inside won't be able to get out for the time being, unless they find a way to destroy it, or if they encounter someone with a profound cultivation base. However, this treasure won't be able to trap someone with a profound cultivation base," Yun Zhiqiu said with a smile.
Boom boom boom! She threw three punches at the sphere, and sure enough, the sphere locked the two of them in place. "If there's really no other way, and there's nowhere else to hide, you can hide inside to buy yourself some time."
She then invoked her arts to undo the seal. Boom! She threw another punch, and the sphere exploded into another sphere, releasing the two of them.
Yun Zhiqiu pointed at the sphere and said, "When we focused our attacks on a single point, it reversed itself. If we were to attack a larger area, it would follow the force of the attack and reverse itself, protecting the person hiding behind it. Let me show you, and you'll understand."
As she finished speaking, she floated away. Suddenly, she twisted her body and struck out with her palm.
Boom! The sphere that was attacked was immediately flattened.
Standing at the side of the sphere, Miao Yi could see the changes in the sphere's front and back sides, and he immediately understood the principle behind it.
The sphere suffered a full-scale attack, and was pushed backwards as if it had been flattened. On the other hand, the unattacked side remained motionless, and the entire sphere was almost flattened. Then, it continued to receive the force of the attack, bending into the shape of a bowl. Only then did the attacked side collapse and slide backwards as if shedding its skin. Finally, it flipped backwards and sealed itself into the shape of a sphere.
It didn't flip backwards like before, but flipped backwards like a sock being taken off one's foot. It was as if the sphere was shedding its skin due to the full force of the attack.
Naturally, Miao Yi could imagine that the person hiding behind the sphere must have been enveloped by it again. In other words, the sphere was protected, and it could withstand the second wave of attack for the person being protected.
Yun Zhiqiu flashed back and asked, "Did you see it clearly?"
Miao Yi nodded and clicked his tongue in wonder. "This old monster sure knows how to mess around. He even refined an artifact like this. How much attack power can this thing withstand?"
