Now that the great witch was dead, the Black Ears Tribe had lost their leader and was in a state of disunity.
Miao Xuanyi wanted to recruit the Black Ears Tribe, but the tribe refused. She did not waste any more time and sent troops to kill them.
Mu Yun did not participate in the battle. Since the victory was already decided, there was no need for him to do anything.
He stayed in the Empress Residence and cultivated silently. The environment here was quiet and suitable for cultivation. Mu Yun did not want to leave so soon.
Now that there was a spy in the Assassin Guild, he did not want to go back so soon. He specially ordered his disciples to call Fang Tianyue over. He wanted to discuss with Fang Tianyue about the spy.
Inside the Scroll of the Gods, Gui Yi was still devouring the ancient cauldron. Mu Yun went to the Life and Death Secret Pavilion alone.
One year of cultivation in the Life and Death Secret Pavilion was only one day outside. However, there was no spiritual qi of heaven and earth in the Life and Death Secret Pavilion. Therefore, Mu Yun did not cultivate here to improve his cultivation, but to save time.
He had plundered a lot of refining manuals from Bai Gucheng. He could slowly comprehend them in the Life and Death Secret Pavilion.
His comprehension was almost heaven-defying. Even if there was no one to guide him, Mu Yun could comprehend ordinary refining manuals by himself.
"A gentleman's nature is not unusual. He is good at using things. The way of refining is the way to refine weapons …"
Mu Yun started from the simplest refining foundation. This was the way to refine ancient weapons. Ancient weapons were more powerful than immortal weapons, divine weapons, and creation artifacts.
Currently, most of the ancient weapons in the Three Yuan Realm were saint weapons. Saint weapons were divided into nine grades. Because it was extremely difficult to refine them, most people did not have saint weapons. At most, they only had minor saint weapons.
For example, Mu Yun's Seven Stars Sword Box was a minor saint weapon.
There were nine grades of saint weapons. The first grade was Spirit Accumulation, the second grade was Heart Execution, the third grade was Heaven Glimpse, the fourth grade was Nightmare, the fifth grade was Mystic Realm, the sixth grade was True Martial, the seventh grade was Star Slayer, the eighth grade was Daluo, and the ninth grade was Jade Emperor. The Three Elements World was a world where the Ninth Ranked Races lived. The Saint Artifacts that were passed down here were extremely powerful. For example, White Dust's Rushing Thunder Sword was a Saint Artifact of the Heart Executioner. Ordinary Saints would not be able to control it. Forcefully controlling it would only result in the destruction of one's soul, unless they burned their lifespan.
He had to pay a price to barely control the Heart Executioner.
The Ming King Sword, the Imperial City Sword, had the power of a Heart Execution Sacred Weapon. However, the Ming King Sword mainly had powerful runes, and its material was not as good as the Imperial City Sword.
As for the third-grade Heaven Spying Sacred Artifact, it allowed one to pry into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Such sacred artifacts were extremely rare in the Three Elements World.
A Grade 4 Nightmare Saint Artifact had a Nightmare Barrier attached to it. Once it was released, the enemy would fall into endless nightmares and be tortured to the point where they would wish they were dead. They would never be able to rise again.
Mu Yun had never heard of a Sacred Artifact of this level.
For example, the Scroll of the Gods, the Yellow Springs Diagram, and the Sparrow God Fan. The Heavenly Poison Ancient Pagoda and the Triple Origin Supreme Treasure were magical treasures from the Antiquity Age or even the Primordial Age. They were special existences and could not be compared to the grade of Sacred Artifacts. However, their power was not something that ordinary Sacred Artifacts could compare to.
In the Three Elements World, people who refined sacred artifacts were called Ancient Artifact Masters.
There were nine grades of Ancient Artifact Masters. In the Three Elements World, there were only a handful of first-grade Ancient Artifact Masters. Most of them were Artifact Refining Apprentices. Having the title of Junior Artifact Master was enough to make people admire them. This was something that could not be helped. After all, the spiritual energy in the Three Elements World was limited. This place was where the ninth-grade races lived. In the Canglan Myriad World, they were insignificant existences. The truly powerful Ancient Artifact Masters were in higher-level worlds. A second-grade Ancient Artifact Master here was enough to shock the world.
。
Mu Yun silently flipped through the Artifact Refining Manual. These Artifact Refining Manuals were all from the Hundred Tempering Villa. They had unique explanations for the Dao of Artifact Refining.
As Mu Yun continued reading, he also learned a lot.
"There are different ways to refine Sacred Artifacts, such as Weapon Splitting and Breaking, Shattering and Recasting, Setting Formations Like Paintings, Condensing Iron to Create Objects, Gathering Souls to Nourish Artifacts, Transforming Blood into Demons, and so on …" Mu Yun silently comprehended. Just like Ancient Array Masters, who had techniques such as Setting Up Formations and Drawing a Prison, Ancient Artifact Masters also had special refining techniques. For example, Condensing Iron to Create Objects. Holding a piece of Spirit Ore and not using tools such as a hammer or furnace, Ancient Artifact Masters could directly cast a Spirit Art, and in the blink of an eye, the Spirit Ore
Weapons.
Ancient Artifact Masters were true blacksmiths, not blacksmiths. They did not need to swing hammers, bellows, and furnaces. That was the method of mortals.
True Ancient Artifact Masters relied on their unique refining techniques. Once they released a secret technique, they could cast primitive minerals into powerful weapons and artifacts.
Condensing Iron to Create was the most basic refining technique.
One step further was Gathering Soul to Nurture Artifacts. This was condensing an artifact soul, allowing artifacts and artifacts to give birth to spirituality and be reborn. Such spiritual artifacts were truly powerful equipment.
Some of the more powerful refining techniques were Formation Painting.
The so-called Formation Painting was to engrave an ancient array on a weapon. This kind of engraving was not a firm mark, but a painting that could be taken off at any time for a second use.
This technique was a little high-end. The array engraved on it could not be locked. It had to achieve the effect of drawing paper. It could be pasted on or torn off.
This technique was very difficult to complete alone. It required the cooperation of an Ancient Array Master. A weapon engraved with an array was simply terrifying. At the same time, it had the sharpness of a sacred artifact and the attributes of an array. Its lethality was very high.
Among the refining techniques, the most powerful one was Transforming Blood into Magic.
The so-called Transforming Blood into Magic was to use the Blood Origin Pearl as a material to infuse it into a weapon and artifact, giving birth to a special rune.
There were six types of rune attributes. Mu Yun had the Heavenly Slayer Rune and the Heavenly Fissure Rune. He also had a Blood Origin Pearl. However, the technique to infuse magic had been lost since ancient times. He did not know it, and there were no records in the secret manual.
Mu Yun studied for ten years, and learned all the refining techniques recorded in the secret manual.
He relied on the Heavenly Origin Mirror to replenish and deplete his excess Qi and blood to replenish his comprehension talent. His comprehension talent was simply heaven-defying. In just ten years, he had mastered all kinds of refining techniques.
He cultivated in the Life and Death Secret Pavilion for ten years, but only ten days had passed in the outside world.
Mu Yun continued to cultivate. In the secret manual left by Bai Gu Cheng, other than all kinds of refining techniques, there was also the secret method of refining puppets.
Mu Yun's perception was extremely high, and he was able to infer many things from one example. Since he had already learned the method of refining weapons, when he looked at the secret method of refining puppets, he felt that it was very simple. He learned the method of refining puppets without any effort.
Refining puppets, in simple terms, consisted of three steps: Consolidating Form, Consolidating Bone, and Consolidating Soul.
Consolidating Form was to use all kinds of materials to create the shape of the puppet.
Consolidating Bone was to create the core of the puppet. This was the core of the puppet's energy.
Consolidating Soul was to connect one's own blood and soul with the puppet. This way, one could easily control the puppet.
Another ten years passed, and Mu Yun had completely grasped the method of refining puppets.
And only twenty days had passed in the outside world.
"My limit, I'm almost at my limit."
Mu Yun felt dizzy. Cultivating in the Life and Death Secret Pavilion required his soul to bear a huge pressure. He also felt that he was almost at his limit. At most, in a few more days, his soul would disperse.
Although the pressure was huge, Mu Yun still decided to stay for one more day.
He took out the broken Seven Stars Sword Box, the remains of the Ming King Sword and the Imperial City Sword, and piled them all together. Then, with a flip of his palm, he formed a Spirit Art and enveloped them.
"Separate Weapons, Break Weapons, Reforge Weapons!"
Mu Yun used the refining techniques he had just learned to crush all these materials and then reforge them.
Soon, the Seven Stars Sword Box, the Ming King Sword, and the Imperial City Sword were all fused together, turning into a huge metal plate.
Mu Yun closed his eyes and imagined the shape of a sword in his mind. Then, he moved his hand and shouted:
"Condense Iron to Create!"
He cast a Spirit Art, and the metal plate immediately twisted. Then, according to his thoughts, it gradually stretched and turned into the shape of a long sword.
Mu Yun opened his eyes and looked at the long sword in front of him. Indeed, it was exactly the same as what he had imagined.
"Very good, very good."
Mu Yun was overjoyed and nodded with satisfaction. This refining technique was indeed amazing. He didn't need to use a hammer or a furnace to forge a weapon. He only needed a thought and a Spirit Art to forge materials into a weapon.
"From now on, you'll be called the Star Emperor Sword."
Mu Yun gently stroked the body of the Star Emperor Sword. This sword was made of high quality materials and was comparable to a second-grade Heart Punisher Saint Weapon. However, it wasn't a second-grade weapon because it didn't have spirituality.
A weapon without spirituality was only a first-grade weapon no matter how sharp it was. It was called a Spirituality Saint Weapon.
First-grade Spirituality Saint Weapon meant that it contained Spiritual Qi and would gradually nourish and strengthen it. In the end, it would give birth to spirituality. Then, it would be a true second-grade Saint Weapon.
"Gold Essence Iron Jade, gather the soul and nurture the weapon. Spirituality is born!"
Mu Yun took out the Gold Essence Iron Jade and directly fused it with the Star Emperor Sword.
He used the "Gather the soul and nurture the weapon" technique to shatter the Gold Essence Iron Jade and turn it into a pool of Spiritual Liquid that poured onto the Star Emperor Sword.
Under the nourishment of the Gold Essence Iron Jade, the Star Emperor Sword gradually transformed and gave birth to spirituality. It turned into a true second-grade Saint Weapon.
"Heart Punisher Saint Weapon. It's really a Heart Punisher Saint Weapon!"
Mu Yun was pleasantly surprised. He saw the Star Emperor Sword emitting a sharp aura that directly had the aura of a Heart Punisher. It was no longer a vulgar ordinary item, but a true Heart Punisher Saint Weapon. It could kill people, destroy their hearts, and destroy their souls. Its sharpness was incomparably sharp.
The Gold Essence Iron Jade was indeed a top-grade refining material. After fusing with the Gold Essence Iron Jade, the Star Emperor Sword had also received a huge enhancement. At this moment, it was a true second-grade Heart Punisher Saint Weapon.
This Star Emperor Sword retained the sharpness of the Wisdom King Sword, the special attribute of the Seven Stars Sword Case, and the emperor's aura of the Imperial City Sword. It was also a Heart Punisher Saint Weapon. It was unknown how much more powerful it was compared to Bai Chen's Spring Thunder Sword.
"If I can inscribe an array formation on it, this sword of mine will be invincible."
Mu Yun secretly calculated. He also knew the ancient array formation technique. With his own strength, he could use the "Array Formation Painting" technique without the help of others.
