There were three major steps in crafting. The first step was' forming the embryo ', the second step was' quenching ', and the third step was' spirit awakening '.
Of the two thousand golden scrolls, ninety percent of them talked about 'forming the embryo'.
The remaining ten percent of them talked about 'quenching'. As for the 'spirit awakening' step … It only took up a very, very small part of it.
The second step: quenching!
It wasn't enough for a weapon to be just hard. Its toughness and flexibility were also very important. After all, hard weapons were easy to break.
Quenching was to soften and toughen the weapon. And a Grandmaster Artificer could even rely on 'quenching' to make the weapon sharper.
The biggest problem with quenching was … the quenching agent!
The quenching agent was actually water. The quality of the water was very important. The better the water quality, the better the quenching agent. That would make the quenching of the weapon even more perfect.
First Essence Heavy Water and Metal Essence Heavy Water were both extremely rare in the Divine Realm. And above the Metal Essence Heavy Water, there was … the Frigid Mist.
Divine Kings could have 'Void Fire' because of the True Flames in their bodies. But those who could have 'Frigid Mist' were extremely rare.
Seeing this, Qin Yu was overjoyed.
"My mutated Magnificent Lotus Doppelganger formed by fusing the Black Lotus Core and the Golden Bead has the unique skill of using the Frigid Mist Domain. With this doppelganger, my quenching agent will definitely be perfect." Qin Yu became even more excited.
Other Divine Kings, even if they were to think of a way to obtain 'Frigid Mist', how could they compare to Qin Yu's doppelganger in terms of using the 'Frigid Mist Domain'?
The first problem with quenching was' quenching agent '.
The second problem with quenching was … controlling the temperature.
Different weapons required different quenching agents. It wasn't that the colder the quenching agent was, the better. After all, some materials would freeze and crack the moment they came into contact with the Frigid Mist.
Also, when the embryo was undergoing 'quenching', the control of time was also very important.
How long would the quenching take? When would the quenching stop?
Staying in the quenching agent for a period of time could cause the quality of the embryo to decrease. Staying in the embryo for a period of time wouldn't allow the embryo to reach the highest quality.
The temperature was very important.
This was a combination of experience, observation, and talent.
"Of the three major steps, this' Quenching 'is slightly simpler than' Refining Artifact Embryo '." Qin Yu thought so in his heart. But Qin Yu had forgotten that even a Godking couldn't perfectly control the Frigidmist Aura.
Frigid Mist Qi was the highest quenching agent.
The third step of the three major steps — Spirit Awakening!
After going through the first two steps, even if the weapon was refined, it would at most meet the standards in terms of hardness, sharpness, and softness. However …
To be worthy of being called a 'Heavenly Divine Artifact'.
The most important thing was the 'Spirit Awakening'!
Although very few of the two thousand golden scrolls recorded the art of spirit enchantment, that was because the strength of the art of spirit enchantment depended on the cultivation of the formation!
By attaching an array to the 'weapon', the weapon would become an organic whole. It would be able to perfectly control the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, darkness, lightning, and so on. It would allow the weapon to communicate with the heavens and earth and undergo a fundamental change!
This was Spirit Awakening.
Once a weapon was Spirit Awakened, the final grade of the weapon would be determined.
After Spirit Awakening, the weapon would have an 'Amplification' effect. It would allow the weapon to become a whole and its attributes would become more distinct. Furthermore, there would be special effects!
For example, the 'Sharpness' special effect of the Divine Sword Scarlet Blood. This special effect appeared after Spirit Awakening.
"No wonder Senior Chehou said that if one's cultivation in formations is not at the fifth level, one would definitely not be able to refine a Heavenly Divine Artifact!" At this moment, Qin Yu completely understood.
If one's cultivation in formations was not at the fifth level, the Spirit Awakening effect would not reach the standard of a Heavenly Divine Artifact.
The standard of a Heavenly Divine Artifact was … to be able to effectively amplify the power of a Heavenly God!
And for ordinary Divine Artifacts, if one poured in the power of a Heavenly God, one would be able to achieve the best amplification effect. But if one poured in the power of a Heavenly God, one's attack power would at most increase by a bit. The amplification effect would instead decrease.

In the spacious Artifact Forging Hall, there were only two jade colored cloud beds. At this moment, Qin Yu opened his eyes. The golden scrolls that were originally floating in front of him had completely disappeared.
"No wonder they said that a true Grandmaster Artifact Forging Grandmaster would definitely be a Grandmaster Array Grandmaster. So this is the case. Although this Spirit Awakening Technique is the simplest, it is also the most difficult. "Qin Yu sighed in his heart.
Simple, the simplicity lies in the process.
Difficult, the difficulty lies in the formation!
"I can set up a formation space. However, I am unable to set up a fifth level formation, a sixth level formation, a seventh level formation and an eighth level formation." Qin Yu laughed at himself.
Qin Yu was very clear about his own cultivation in formations.
Setting up a formation space relied on the spatial laws of his own universe. It did not mean that he knew how to set up a fifth level formation or a sixth level formation.
However, knowing how to set up a perfect formation was already enough for him.
"According to what Senior Chehou Yuan said, the pinnacle of Spirit Awakening is to achieve perfect harmony. His level-eight array formation was already very harmonious. However, my 'Universe' formation should have already reached the pinnacle of harmony. Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, darkness, lightning and other elemental energies have already reached perfect harmony. "
A trace of a smile appeared on Qin Yu's face.
This point had determined … that the weapons that Qin Yu would forge would all be enchanted with the 'Universe' formation.
Qin Yu floated away from the cloud bed and arrived at the center of the Refining Flame Palace.
"For artifact forging, I will first forge the 'Artifact Embryo.'" With a thought from Qin Yu, a large pile of materials appeared at a corner of the Refining Flame Palace. These materials were all from the Bewitching God Temple.
Chehou Yuan had already prepared them for his successor.
"There are many ways to forge an Artifact Embryo. How exactly should I forge an Artifact Embryo?" Qin Yu frowned. At this moment, he recalled a sentence that Chehou Yuan had said before — 'If you want to become the new' Craftsman God, 'you cannot copy the methods of your predecessors. You must create your own artifact forging method that is most suitable for you!'
Create your own artifact forging method?
How could innovation be so simple? Of the few Grandmaster Artificers in the Divine Realm, which one of them did not experience the process of forging artifacts time and time again before finally coming to a conclusion?
"Forge artifacts first, then finish. First, I will test the various artifact forging methods of my predecessors one by one. Then, I will slowly search for my own path of artifact forging!"
Qin Yu made his decision!
With a thought, from the large pile of materials at the corner of the Refining Flame Palace, seven materials flew to Qin Yu. Qin Yu extended one of his hands and the Refining Flame Wristband immediately flew out — Black Divine Flame and White Pure Flame.
Qin Yu began his first attempt at crafting.
The method he used was the 'Revolving Wave Technique' of an ordinary artifact forging expert in the history of the Divine Realm.
Qin Yu was very clear on this. There were extremely few Grandmaster Artificers in the Divine Realm. The main reason was that the majority of the genius artifact forging experts were obstructed in the 'Spirit Enchantment' stage.
No matter how good their artifact embryo was, if their cultivation in formations was insufficient, they would not be able to forge a Heavenly Divine Artifact. If they were unable to forge a Heavenly Divine Artifact, they would not be able to become a Grandmaster Artificer.
Although the 'Revolving Wave Technique' was only an ordinary artifact forging expert's artifact forging method.
However, Qin Yu felt that this method was not much weaker than the 'Craftsman God' Chehou Yuan's' Thousand Tempering Hundred Refining 'in terms of' artifact forging. '
… …
'Revolving Wave Technique', 'Nine Tunes Flame Refinement', 'Fifth Artifact Forging Technique' …
Qin Yu continued to experiment with all kinds of peculiar methods. These methods all gave Qin Yu different experiences and comprehensions, allowing Qin Yu's comprehension in artifact forging to advance by leaps and bounds.
Qin Yu was completely immersed in the process. The materials used for each and every weapon were all low grade materials. The first prerequisite for 'artifact embryo' was materials. If the materials were too inferior, it would be impossible to forge a good weapon.
However, these were, after all, things that Qin Yu was using to 'experiment.'
After more than a thousand years had passed in the Divine Realm, when Qin Yu was the most engrossed in his experiments, Qin Yu discovered … that he had actually used up all of the ordinary materials in the Bewitching God Temple.
More than a thousand years had passed in the Divine Realm.
How long had Qin Yu been experimenting for? It was very difficult to calculate. That was because the current time acceleration in the New Cosmos had reached over five thousand times.
The Refining Flames Palace that Qin Yu was in was constantly in a state of time acceleration. Time was accelerating unceasingly. Qin Yu estimated that he ought to have been experimenting for five to six million years.
"Not enough materials? What should I do? "Qin Yu thought with a frown.
Suddenly, Qin Yu started to laugh. "I've forgotten. The Utmost East Sage Emperor had already instructed me that I can ask him for materials if I don't have enough!" Qin Yu immediately sent a voice transmission to Qiuzhong Fu, telling Qiuzhong Fu to personally go and retrieve a large amount of ordinary materials.
"It would seem that I'll have to return to the Misty Mystic Palace." Qin Yu muttered to himself.
"Eh?" Qin Yu was suddenly startled. "I've reached the High Level Heavenly Deity level?"
In the past several million years, Qin Yu had been completely immersed in artifact crafting and had not noticed that he had reached the High Level Heavenly Deity level. In the past several million years, Qin Yu's Magnificent Lotus Clone had been comprehending the spatial comprehensions left behind by Zuo Qiumei the entire time.
In the past several million years, the Magnificent Lotus Clone had comprehended half of the spatial comprehensions that Qin Yu had left behind for his clone.
The half of the spatial comprehensions that Qin Yu had left behind for his clone was also a quarter of the total spatial comprehensions that Zuo Qiumei had left behind for Qin Yu.
Qin Yu and Li Er had both obtained half of Zuo Qiumei's spatial comprehensions.
In reality, the Magnificent Lotus Clone had only comprehended an eighth of the spatial laws.
With merely this bit of spatial laws, Qin Yu had actually managed to reach the threshold of the High Level Heavenly Deity level. From this, it could be seen that there was an enormous gap between a new High Level Heavenly Deity and a peak High Level Heavenly Deity.
"Li Er's comprehension speed is a bit slower than my clone's. She is currently still at the peak of the Mid Level Heavenly Deity level." Qin Yu had already determined this with a single glance at Li Er.
The Magnificent Lotus Clone's soul was comparable to that of a High Level Heavenly Deity. Thus, his comprehension speed was extremely fast.
"I shall not disturb Li Er anymore." Qin Yu lightly nodded. Then, he disappeared from the artifact crafting palace.
At the summit of the East Hazy Mountain.
The cyan gowned Qin Yu's clone was currently sitting cross-legged. This clone had been quietly comprehending the spatial laws left behind by Zuo Qiumei the entire time. What his clone had comprehended, Qin Yu's true body had naturally also comprehended.
The cyan gowned Qin Yu's clone suddenly opened his eyes. He said. "True body!"
Qin Yu lightly nodded. With an intention, the final lump of seven colored radiance in his mind directly flew into the mind of Qin Yu's clone and assimilated into it.
"You can continue with your training." After Qin Yu finished saying those words, he left the New Cosmos and returned to the Wood Mansion.
Qin Yu currently did not have the time to comprehend the spatial laws. Thus, the task of comprehending the spatial laws was left to his clone.
After all, the path of artifact crafting was truly time-consuming. After several million years, Qin Yu had only managed to accumulate some experience. Of course, if Qin Yu were to create an artifact crafting method right now, Qin Yu was also capable of doing so.
However, Qin Yu strived for perfection.
Qin Yu had decided to do more experiments, accumulate more experience, and comprehend more before creating an artifact crafting method.

In a garden behind the Utmost East Sage Emperor's Palace. The Utmost East Sage Emperor Huangfu Yu was currently chatting with his wife.
"Your Majesty Sage Emperor, the people from the Misty Mystic Palace have come to collect the artifact crafting materials." A tall, thin and ice-cold woman said respectfully. "The majority of the materials are ordinary materials. Only a small portion of them are slightly more precious. Merely, the amount is extremely large … "
The Utmost East Sage Emperor Huangfu Yu was immediately overjoyed.
"Haha, he's finally started crafting artifacts. Good, good, the larger the amount, the better. He wants a lot of ordinary materials. It seems that he's currently experimenting and accumulating experience. The refinement of an artifact by someone whose cultivation in the field of formations surpasses that of Chehou Yuan's is truly worth looking forward to. "The Utmost East Sage Emperor was very happy.
That tall, thin and ice-cold woman suddenly had an awkward expression on her face. "Your Majesty Sage Emperor, the amount is too large. All of the ordinary materials in our storage have been, have been emptied."
"Emptied?" The Utmost East Sage Emperor Huangfu Yu was stunned. "This Qin Yu, he, he's able to use them all?"
… …
Qin Yu brought back a large amount of spatial materials and then returned to the Wood Mansion with Jiang Lan. He once again entered the New Cosmos and began to train. Currently, the New Cosmos' time acceleration had already reached over five thousand times. Qin Yu possessed ample time to experiment.
Inside the Artifact Crafting Palace.
Qin Yu had once again started crafting artifacts. With sufficient materials, Qin Yu began to experiment without any worries. In this vast amount of experiments, an unprecedented artifact crafting method that gathered the experience of numerous artifact crafting experts was gradually taking shape.
Time was passing. Qin Yu who was immersed in artifact crafting was unable to sense the passage of time.
There was not a single weapon in the Artifact Crafting Palace. Where were the weapons that Qin Yu had experimented with in these years? Although they were all inferior materials, Qin Yu's' Tempering 'and' Spirit Awakening 'techniques were still extremely powerful. The weapons that he crafted were also not inferior.
Outside of the Bewitching God Temple, on the East Hazy Mountain.
In the entire mountain forest of the East Hazy Mountain, weapons were scattered all over the place like trash. The amount was so great that it could definitely be counted in the tens of thousands. Even the worst weapons were Divine Artifacts. There were even … Low Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts.
These were Qin Yu's vast amount of experimental products!
