"Reverend White Sand, is everyone here?" The Black Daoist suddenly asked.
… …
Taoist Master Wang She, who was being complimented, had a huge purplish-black snake head. He stuck out his tongue, and a smug look flashed across his eyes. "I was just about to let you know, Brother Black. I found a rare treasure a few years ago, and fused it with it. Its power increased greatly, and now, it's on par with the Sea Calming Mirror. I'm sure it won't disappoint you. "
"It's said that the two disciples are within the Wood Martial Abode's jurisdiction. Should we inform the Wood Martial Abode's master?"
"That's right. The Vital Energy Sect's villains have killed demons without restraint. This time, we'll seek justice for our fellow Daoists!"
Lu Sheng roughly organized this world's understanding of Treasures according to the two skill formulas.
"If the Treasures contain most of one's own supernatural power, then the Treasures will be easy to wield. However, their power won't accumulate as quickly as natural energy. They can only be infused over a long period of time. However, this method is pure, and can be used freely. It's easier to raise one's tier. The flaw is that it takes a long time to accumulate. "
There were already many huge octopuses in the deep sea that he had lured over. They were staring at him from afar.
Soon enough, he could see the black cliff of the Wood Martial Abode from afar.
"If the Treasures contain uncontrollable natural energy, then the main purpose of the sacrificial refinement is to allow the natural energy to adapt to one's own supernatural power and be under one's control. The advantage of this method is that it's powerful, and can be formed quickly. However, the flaw is that it's difficult to perfect and improve. "
Lu Sheng reached out and grabbed the metal ball. Its surface was cold and glossy. It released a faint flow of water that isolated the surface of the ball.
"The two Vital Energy Sect disciples have great treasures on them. They'll surely be looked after by an elite. We've received news that they're being followed by the Vital Energy Sect's Seventh Peak's Old Taoist Die Shazi. That old man is skilled in the Three Souls Black Wind. Together with his Prime Treasure, the Fury Blade, his power is astonishing. When the time comes, I'll personally use the Soul-Absorbing Ring to hold him back. Attack with all your might. Kill the two core disciples as soon as possible, obtain the treasures, and leave. "Elder Black made simple arrangements.
"I'm sure you know why I'm here."
Lu Sheng stared at the metal ball with rapt attention. He sensed a terrifying and extremely heavy pressure surging inside the metal ball. The ball was only the size of a fist, but it gave off the illusion that it was the size of a bathtub.
A black cloud floated on the surface of the sea, less than twenty meters away from the waves below. The dark clouds covered a large area, covering more than 30 meters of the sea and blocking the sunlight.
As he hovered above the seawater, Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment. In the end, he decided to return and meet the old man from the Vital Energy Sect. Although he could still continue to break through, it would still take a lot of time. If the old man thought that he had retreated and escaped, he would vent his anger on his subordinates in the other caves. That would not be good.
…
A group of demons cursed and hollered.
That was why he needed better materials to be integrated into the Sea-overturning Orb's quality and strength.
Above the clouds, a few strange-looking Daoists sat facing each other, as if they were waiting for something.
"The techniques of this world aren't as powerful as those of the Great Emissaries of Hell … It looks like I'll have to dig deeper into this place. Perhaps I'll gain more from this trip than the last. "
After an unknown period of time, Lu Sheng finally sensed that the Core Qi released by his Golden Core and consumed by the metal ball had reached an equilibrium. Only then did he perform a restraining hand seal.
"That's right!"
"Daoist Die Shazi, long time no see. You're still as strong as ever." Lu Sheng's expression changed, and he greeted him calmly.
The little demons guarding the cave entrance were startled by the commotion. When they saw that it was Lu Sheng, they sighed in relief. Two little demons with wolf heads and human bodies quickly came forward and greeted him on their knees.
"I'm lacking a target for comparison, so I can't measure the effect of ten percent of my main body's power in this world. Fortunately, the cultivation base of this body is enough for me to protect myself for now. Middle-stage Core Formation isn't enough. I haven't seen the later stages, but they shouldn't be weaker than the late-stage Core Formation. "
"I'll go overseas after killing someone. Who cares if it's the Vital Energy Sect or the Wicked Energy Sect!"
It should be known that even in the Mist Clam Tribe, there were very few clams in the Foundation Establishment stage. Clam demons were known for their longevity. It was unrealistic to wait for them to die of natural causes.
"… It's absorbed at least a million tons of seawater …" Lu Sheng's gaze toward the small ball was different now.
"If I release the million tons of seawater I've absorbed in an instant, it'll be enough to topple a town and cause a small-scale flood. However, it might not be powerful enough against ordinary cultivators. I can simply use this ball as a heavy object to smash people. "Lu Sheng pinched the metal ball and put it away into his sleeve. He looked around him.
However, if he used ten percent more power, it might cause the world to reject him.
When Lu Sheng estimated the speed of this, he was on tenterhooks. He only used the art of sacrificially refining the inside of the metal ball into a storage space. However, the amount of Core Qi he used during the sacrificial refinement far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators. Then, he infused the seawater into his Core Qi. This was the simplest sacrificial refinement method for a Treasure.
Hence, one could see how valuable it was.
"What happened all those years ago can't be said to be right or wrong. Now that there's such a good opportunity for you to clear your name and become a Spirit General of the Vital Energy Sect, this isn't a bad thing for both of us," said Die Shazi with a smile.
A group of demons discussed the details of this operation without any scruples.
"I understand. You guys continue to stand guard." Lu Sheng nodded and strode into the cave. He passed through the passageway and entered the guest hall. Soon, he saw the white-bearded old Taoist, Die Shazi, who was sipping his tea leisurely.
"What's there to greet? That Wood Martial Abode's master is also a human. He's not on the same side as us demons! It's fine if he doesn't make a move, but if he dares to interfere, he's merely a first-grade Core Formation cultivator. Forget about the three Enlightened Masters, even I can chop his head off with my axe! "
'According to the rules of this world's art, the longer the sacrificial refinement, the purer and more complete the quality of the Treasure. The more magic power it contains, the more powerful it will be. Cultivators will be able to channel endless magic power into materials that can contain a large amount of magic power to form powerful Treasures. 'As Lu Sheng swam around, his thoughts flowed. He thought of the principles of this world's Treasures.
"If that's the case, it's all up to you, Brother Wang." Elder Black cupped his fists at this person.
"Don't worry, Elder Black. Although we don't have the Sea Calming Mirror, we have Enlightened Master Wang She's Prime Treasure, the Ten Thousand True Origin Poison Banner. If we catch them off guard, we'll surely be able to kill the two core disciples of the Vital Energy Sect. We'll seize the Earth Lake Sword. "A short Taoist with a fish head and a human body cackled as he flattered.
Currently, several thousand miles away from the Wood Martial Abode, in the air above a barren ocean.
A demon Taoist with a shark head and a human body sat at the side. He shook his head and replied in a rough voice, "Most of them are here. Those who should have been informed have been informed. Those who are still willing to come under such circumstances are those who are grateful to the Ninth True Lord and are willing to sacrifice their own safety. "
A thought came to Lu Sheng's mind. A gush of seawater gushed out from the Sea-overturning Orb. The huge reactionary force pushed him out of the ocean's surface. He leaped a few hundred meters into the air.
Lu Sheng could clearly sense that the Sea-overturning Orb's materials were reaching their limits. The materials limited the possibility of this Treasure's might increasing further.
The speed at which the metal ball absorbed the seawater slowed down. Soon, it stopped. Finally, it turned into an ordinary bluish-gold ball that hovered before Lu Sheng.
He had no intention of completely abandoning his identity as the Wood Martial Abode's master.
He landed on the ground and stood at the entrance of the Wood Martial Abode.
"That is to say, a powerful magic treasure first needs good enough materials. Next, it needs to be supplied with an endless supply of magic power and various natural energies. Finally, it needs to be sacrificial refined over a long period of time.
"We'll make our move in three days. A long night is fraught with trouble. "Elder Black set the time.
However, if someone were to look closely at the surface of the ball, they would be able to vaguely sense that the surface of the ball was distorted.
When he thought of this, Lu Sheng floated up to the surface of the ocean. He retraced the path he came from.
'In that case, I'll call my Treasure the Sea-overturning Orb. If I want to increase its might, it's best to go with the last method. After all, I have Mental Energy. I'll be able to quickly increase my tier and the amount of Core Qi I have. This way, I'll be able to increase its might in a short amount of time. It won't affect my subsequent improvements.
'Also, I can try compressing the seawater absorbed by the Golden Core.' Lu Sheng thought to himself. Even with the technology on Earth, there was no way to compress water into other forms. He planned to try compressing seawater with his main body, which had reached its limit. His main body had gradually adapted to a portion of the rules here. After adjusting the structure of his Yang Essence, his main body could now use the Infinity Technique in a small area.
"Bam."
Elder Black, Bai Sha, and Wang She exchanged glances. They could sense that each had their own thoughts. The three of them were Core Formation demons. None of them were simple characters since they managed to cultivate to this extent.
"Cave Master, a white-haired, skinny old man went in just now. He said he has something to discuss with you!"
In the middle of the dark cloud sat a muscular Daoist whose skin was as black as charcoal.
"You're right." Taoist Black nodded. "Unfortunately … Taoist Master Yue Yao of the South Sea isn't here. She's unfortunately gone to the distant seas, and hasn't returned for five years. She's only occasionally sent one-sided messages back. If Taoist Master Yue Yao was here, with the Sea Calming Mirror that she'd sacrificially refined for a thousand years, this operation would've been much smoother. "
This treasure was much more valuable than the metals he used to forge the Sea-overturning Orb.
He could faintly sense demonic qi from these octopuses. They were clearly not stupid wild creatures.
Hence, these Black Cloud Pearls were usually made from corpses.
'When I return, I'll fuse these Black Cloud Pearls with them. They should be able to greatly improve the Sea-overturning Orb's quality.' Lu Sheng made up his mind. As long as he had enough good materials, he would be able to sacrifice and refine a terrifyingly powerful Treasure.
"Well said, well said."
"Don't worry, Elder Black. We've received the Senior Sovereign's great kindness. This time, we'll be sacrificing our lives!"
The Black Cloud Pearls were cold in nature and hard in texture. They were born from the cold air of death absorbed by a dead clam. Only the corpses of dead clams that were at least in the Foundation Establishment Realm could be used to nurture these items. Furthermore, only ten of them could be nurtured at a time, and each nurture would take a year.
The Black Cloud Pearls that he'd asked for from the Mist Clam Clan had been specially prepared for this time.
Although it sounded like a huge number, in reality, the seawater stored in the metal ball on Lu Sheng's body was equivalent to a small moving pond. If all of it was released and dispersed, the seawater would be just that. However, if it was concentrated on a small ball and used to smash people … the power would be completely different.
