A month later.
Yao Ruoxian stood in front of the Cornucopia with a focused expression. His ten fingers were pointing at the cauldron's abdomen as he flicked them. His sleeves and hair fluttered despite the absence of wind. Strands of silver hair could be seen spiraling out from within the cauldron.
Miao Yi was sitting cross-legged in a corner of the cauldron, meditating and cultivating in silence.
To be more precise, he was cultivating at first, but now he was experiencing a wondrous state.
When he first used the Fiery Star Technique to cultivate, he discovered something strange because he also had to use his transcendence energy to resist the high temperature outside his body.
When he used his transcendence energy to resist the high temperature, he discovered that the fluctuations of his transcendence energy could control the changes in the temperature around him.
He couldn't help but temporarily stop cultivating and continuously try to control the high temperature around him. The more he tried, the more skilled he became.
Under the fluctuations of his transcendence energy, the high temperature clouds that attacked him were strange. They adjusted according to the changes of his transcendence energy, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes to the top, sometimes to the bottom, sometimes to the back of his body, sometimes to the point where they condensed into a ball.
He tried to stop resisting the high temperature and get closer to it. To his surprise, he discovered that the art source spinning in his body was actually absorbing some sort of spiritual essence from the high temperature. It was similar to when he had extracted the True Fire of the Sun to form his initial art source.
The most unbelievable thing was that after the spiritual essence was absorbed into the art source, the originally chaotic and spinning art source actually began to emit specks of red light, giving it an additional color.
Miao Yi was shocked. Lao Bai hadn't told him about this before. Could something happen to him while cultivating?
He originally wanted to stop trying, but he discovered that the art source in his body had become a little livelier after the specks of red light were injected into it. That feeling was like a person in a state of chaos suddenly becoming spirited. It was an extremely wondrous feeling.
Miao Yi could faintly sense that absorbing the fire spiritual essence produced by the burning of the Red Blaze Resin seemed to be beneficial to his art source. However, he wasn't sure if it was really beneficial. He didn't want to cause any trouble. However, the art source in his body seemed to be very interested in absorbing that thing. It directly affected his body and mind, followed by a surge of joy.
This bastard was born with a tendency to take risks. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the Sea of Constellations to stir up trouble. After some hesitation, he decided to slowly give it a try.
He braced himself and continued to absorb the spiritual essence in moderation, prepared to immediately stop if he felt any discomfort.
"Refine Fire to Return to Emptiness to forge the True Body, Chang Hao Li Huo is unparalleled!"
A faint sigh resounded. Lao Bai's magnificent figure had appeared beside Miao Yi out of nowhere. He looked at the transcendent artifact being refined on top of the giant 'treasure basin' and shook his head. "Could it really be the will of the heavens?"
He taught Miao Yi the cultivation method of the Fiery Star Technique, but he didn't teach Miao Yi the true essence of the Fiery Star Technique.
The true essence of the Fiery Star Secret Art was contained in the two sentences he muttered just now. Refine the fire to return to the void, forge the true body, leave the fire and be proud of the infinite!
Naturally, he had his reasons for not passing it on.
First of all, he was afraid that Miao Yi would bite off more than he could chew. He felt that Miao Yi's current cultivation wasn't the right time yet, and that it was more important for him to focus on improving his cultivation instead of running around.
Secondly, Miao Yi still needed to be observed, because the most unfathomable thing in this world was the human heart. Lao Bai couldn't guarantee that Miao Yi wouldn't change in the future. He wouldn't easily reveal his true trump card unless the time was right.
But he never thought that Miao Yi would actually touch the threshold of the true essence of the Fiery Star Technique.
This door had already been pushed open a little. Lao Bai knew that as long as Miao Yi had the chance, he would definitely continue to push it open to see the truth. He could only sigh deeply …
'Bang!'
A familiar explosion came from the sea outside.
Miao Yi suddenly opened his eyes and quickly withdrew his cultivation. He leapt out of the pit and caught sight of the white mist rising from the surface of the sea. He immediately flashed over and directly jumped into the sea.
During this period of time, he had already become addicted to picking up treasures and was very familiar with it.
Not long after, he broke through the waves and jumped onto the beach with a silver helmet in his hand. He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
He didn't need Yao Ruoxian to teach him anything. He immediately separated a strand of transcendence source and injected it into the helmet, allowing the ownerless helmet to recognize him as its master.
He threw the helmet in his hand and it flew into the air, exploding into the illusion of a silver lion.
He spread his arms, and a silver mist shot out from his storage ring into the sky.
Soon after, the illusions of a lion, tiger, leopard, octopus, wolf, python, rhinoceros and so on descended from the sky one after another, pouncing towards Miao Yi with his arms wide open.
The lion pounced on him, condensing into a helmet that covered his eyebrows, ears, and neck. The lion opened its mouth to reveal Miao Yi's face.
The octopus coiled around his body, condensing into a set of armor that was both hard and soft. It hung on his shoulders, protected his chest, and blocked his back. The front and back of his chest were engraved with the pattern of a giant wave. Below his waist and abdomen was a curtain of soft armor. The left and right halves covered the outer thighs, while the front and back halves protected the lower body.
Two tigers pounced on his left and right shoulders, their hind legs half wrapped around his arms while their front legs climbed onto his shoulders. The tiger's mouth revealed their fangs as they turned around to look majestically at his left and right sides. The armor was made to look extremely lifelike.
The two leopards hugged his left and right forearms. The leopard's head was slightly raised to protect his elbows, and spread to the back of Miao Yi's palms, forming a pair of extraordinarily imposing wrist guards.
The python coiled around his waist, its head on his abdomen opening its mouth and flicking its tongue. It quickly condensed into a snake-scale belt, binding the soft armor around his waist to prevent it from shaking. At the same time, it protected the vital parts of his waist.
The two wolves pounced on the pair of feet, protecting their knees and ankles, brazenly turning into a pair of shiny boots. On the soles of the feet were two half-floating wolf heads, baring their ferocious fangs.
The rhinoceros fell onto Miao Yi's palm, and instantly condensed into the Inversed-Scales Spear!
Even though this set of armor wasn't a complete one-piece, some parts were interlocked with each other. The design was exquisite beyond compare, and great effort was put into the details, especially when it came to moving the joints. There wasn't the slightest hindrance when moving them. Indeed, it wasn't something that an ordinary artifact refiner could refine. One would need a relatively deep understanding of the art to be able to refine such an exquisite piece of work.
However, it wasn't something that could be put on and taken off using normal methods. Without invoking arts, it was impossible to forcefully put it on or take it off.
With a lion on his head, a fierce tiger on his shoulders, a ferocious leopard on his arms, a giant python coiled around his waist, a vicious wolf under his feet, and eight claws protecting his chest and back, Miao Yi stood on the beach with the Inversed-Scales Spear in his hand. His entire body was enveloped in a hazy white radiance, and it could be said that his aura was extraordinary. He held the spear horizontally in his hand, and without anger, he exuded a murderous aura, just like a god descending to the mortal world!
Looking up and down at his own attire, Miao Yi was genuinely overjoyed, finding the feeling of a nouveau riche.
This set of equipment consisted of ten First Grade Transcendent Artifacts, and had cost him a total of ten First Grade Yao Cores, not counting the other materials he had used.
He remembered that before he went to the Sea of Constellations, the Great Cave Master Miao was still feeling melancholy over a few low-grade Orbs of Will. In order to obtain a few more Orbs of Will, he ran to the Sea of Constellations and risked his life. He had never even thought about owning a transcendent artifact. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, he would own a luxurious set of ten transcendent artifacts.
Perhaps it couldn't compare to Manor Head Yang Qing's single Second Grade transcendent artifact, but his own set was complete, and he had four or five more items than Yang Qing's.
