Time flew by, and the Chaos Fire in Li Mu's hands gradually dissipated.
As the Chaos Fire extinguished, seven Spiritual Artifact embryos, imbued with complex Formation patterns, slowly rotated in the air, emitting a strong spiritual glow.
Lines of brilliant Artifact Runes condensed one after another, perfectly formed, and their auras began to resonate with each other, forming a peculiar and subtle whole.
"Form!"
Li Mu quickly formed hand seals and softly shouted.
The next moment, the seven Formation Artifacts responded to his Divine Thought, traversing and interweaving along a profound trajectory, their spiritual light surging.
In the blink of an eye, they displayed a series of exceedingly complex Formation transformations in the air.
Within the Formation, streams of spiritual light, like dragons, shuttled between the Formations, and a powerful sealing force was generated, creating layers of ripples that spread outwards, completely isolating the space within the Formation...
Looking at the complex Formation displayed by the seven Formation Artifacts in the air, Xiao Jin, Xiao Wa, and the others all showed shock and awe in their eyes.
"This... is this the power displayed by a three-rank Formation Artifact?" Xiao Jin's eyes widened, and he murmured in disbelief.
Although he didn't know much about Artifact Refining, he could feel the terrifying power contained within that Formation, which was by no means comparable to ordinary ones.
Xiao Wa was equally shocked, his honest face filled with astonishment: "Master, the power of this Formation is probably comparable to the True Spirit Law Domain of a Seven-rank True Spirit, right?"
"Yes! It's truly incredible that just a set of three-rank Formation Artifacts can condense such a massive amount of Origin Qi and form such a terrifying sealing force.
If higher-rank Materials were used to refine higher-rank Formation Artifacts, what kind of power could this Formation unleash!" Azure Moon True Dragon keenly caught the mystery within the Formation, murmuring to himself, full of disbelief.
Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix's fiery red eyes flickered with intense light, and she said admiringly: "This Formation is practically a miniature world! Its sealing power is enough to trap any creature below the seventh rank.
Master, you are truly amazing!"
As the Formation operated, the seven Formation Artifacts resonated with the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, and streams of spiritual light surged like a tide, absorbing all the surrounding Spiritual Qi, causing the spiritual power within the entire Treasure Mansion Space to fluctuate.
Just then, Li Mu slowly stretched out his palm and gently waved it.
The seven Formation Artifacts seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, flying back into his palm one by one.
The spiritual light converged, the Formation dissipated, and they transformed back into seven seemingly ordinary but internally profound Spiritual Artifacts.
"These Formation Artifacts were refined by me using the Divine Runes method, so their power is naturally extraordinary!" Li Mu looked at his beasts and smiled slightly, introducing them.
"Master! What is the Divine Runes method?" Xiao Jin's spirit lifted, and he asked curiously.
"The Divine Runes method is an ancient and powerful spiritual rune, which should be a Dao Law Rune," Li Mu smiled slightly and patiently explained: "Unlike ordinary Artifact Refining methods, it involves carving more complex and exquisite Divine Runes into the Spiritual Artifacts during refining, aligning with the Heavenly Dao, thereby imbuing the Spiritual Artifacts with more powerful strength and characteristics."
"Magic Treasures, Dao Pills, and even Formations refined using Divine Runes can resonate more deeply with the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, unleashing extraordinary power," Li Mu continued to add: "This is also why, even though they are only three-rank Formation Artifacts, they can display such powerful sealing force."
Xiao Jin, Xiao Wa, and the others listened with rapt attention; they had never heard of such a miraculous Artifact Refining method.
Azure Moon True Dragon's eyes glowed, knowing the power of the Divine Runes method, and her admiration for Li Mu arose spontaneously: "Master, not only is your cultivation profound, but your Artifact Refining technique has also reached an awe-inspiring Realm.
It is my great fortune to be able to follow you!"
"The effects of artifacts refined with the Divine Runes method are not limited to this!" Li Mu smiled slightly and continued to introduce: "The Dao Artifacts refined with Divine Runes are not just about their power; they can also connect with the holder's mind through them, using the power of the Dao Artifact to comprehend the rhythm of the Great Dao, assisting in Dao comprehension and peering into the mysteries of Heaven and Earth.
For cultivators, this is an unparalleled treasure."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin, Xiao Wa, and the others' eyes lit up, and their hearts stirred.
"Master!"
Xiao Jin said impatiently.
Li Mu understood what Xiao Jin wanted to say, smiled broadly, and interrupted him in advance: "You have accompanied me through thick and thin.
Today, I will use the Divine Runes method to refine a Life Dao Artifact for each of you, to help your cultivation advance further and break through your current Realm sooner."
"However, to refine this artifact, you will need to help me with a few things!" Li Mu paused and then added.
Before Li Mu's words finished, Xiao Jin, Xiao Wa, Azure Moon True Dragon, Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix, and Ice Spirit Snow Leopard all perked up, their eyes flashing with anticipation and determination.
"Master, just command us!" Xiao Jin was the first to express his stance, his tone full of determination.
Xiao Wa gave an honest smile and said happily: "Master, whatever you say, Xiao Wa will do!"
Azure Moon True Dragon's body trembled, and he said excitedly: "Master, Qing Yue is willing to go through fire and water for you, without hesitation!"
Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix and Azure Jade Ginseng King also nodded, indicating their willingness to fully assist Li Mu, even if it wasn't for refining Dao Artifacts for them.
Li Mu smiled and nodded, continuing: "The Divine Runes Dao Artifacts refined for you here will be able to form an Artifact Formation, which I will use to seal the spiritual Origin of a nine-rank divine object."
"nine-rank divine object?" Xiao Jin's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this; he knew what immense power and rarity that represented.
Although Xiao Wa was honest, he also knew the extraordinary nature of a nine-rank divine object.
He scratched his head and asked somewhat confusedly: "Master, how powerful must the spiritual Origin of a nine-rank divine object be? Can we do it?"
Azure Moon True Dragon's gaze was solemn, knowing the terror of a nine-rank divine object, but since Li Mu said so, he must have his considerations: "Master, how do you plan to seal the spiritual Origin of this nine-rank divine object?"
Li Mu looked at them, smiled slightly, and explained: "The spiritual Origin of a nine-rank divine object is indeed powerful, but not impossible to seal.
I need each of you to take out an artifact most intimately connected to your own mind.
These artifacts will serve as the core Materials for refining your Life Dao Artifacts, and at the same time, they will become the Formation eyes of the grand sealing Formation, acting as a bridge for sealing the spiritual Origin of the nine-rank divine object."
Upon hearing this, the beasts all nodded, indicating their willingness to cooperate.
"Master, can this tail of mine, which I shed after undergoing the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation, be used?" Green-Eyed Golden Ape - Xiao Jin took out a thick ape tail from his embrace and asked excitedly yet a little nervously.
Li Mu's eyes lit up, and he gladly accepted it, praising: "Xiao Jin, this tail of yours not only contains your Origin Bloodline but is also connected to your mind, making it a superior choice for refining a Life Dao Artifact."
Ink Jade Rock Lizard - Xiao Wa, upon hearing this, also hastily took out a gray rock armor from his storage ring and introduced: "Master, this rock armor was shed during my True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.
It is integrated with my body and is a part of me.
Should it be suitable for refining a Life Dao Artifact?"
Li Mu took the rock armor and examined it carefully, seeing the heavy Earth Origin power flowing on it, and couldn't help but nod: "Xiao Wa, this rock armor of yours is no small matter.
It contains the Origin power of rock and is connected to your mind.
Refining a Life Dao Artifact with it will surely elevate your defense to a higher level."
Azure Moon True Dragon then slowly said: "Master, this Azure Dragon reverse scale on my body is connected to my Bloodline and is the source of my power.
Is it suitable for refining a Life Dao Artifact?"
"Master, I'll use these seven fire feathers!" Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix handed seven dazzling fire feathers to Li Mu, each emitting a scorching aura and containing endless flame power.
"Master, I only have these few shed roots," Azure Jade Ginseng King handed over a few translucent ginseng roots emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.
Though inconspicuous, they contained Azure Jade Ginseng King's profound vitality and Wood Origin essence: "These are roots I naturally shed over the Years, connected to my life Origin."
"Good!" Li Mu nodded in satisfaction, collecting the True Spirit Origin items from each of the beasts one by one.
"Xue'er, what about yours!" Li Mu turned to look at Xue'er, who was watching them with envy, and asked with a smile.
"Me! Do I have one too!" A hint of surprise flashed in Xue'er's eyes, but then she showed hesitation: "But, Li Dage, I don't have any special Origin artifacts."
"You can just condense a drop of your essence blood!" Li Mu smiled slightly at Xue'er, signaling.
No error version reading! 6 = 9 + Book_Bar first published this novel.
Xue'er did not doubt him; since Li Mu said so, she unhesitatingly condensed a drop of heart blood containing her pure Bloodline essence and carefully handed it to Li Mu.
Li Mu solemnly accepted the essence blood and placed it into a specially made jade bottle, preparing to begin refining the Life Dao Artifact.
Looking at the puzzled gazes of the beasts, Li Mu explained with a smile: "The Life Dao Artifacts I am refining for you this time can form an Artifact Formation that combines the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Space, Years, and Karma—ten Great Dao Laws—called: Mixed Origin Reversal Spirit Sealing Array!"
"Your Life Dao Artifacts, besides being used individually, can also serve as the Foundation for the Five Elements Artifacts.
Xue'er, you will receive a Yin-attribute Dao Artifact, which largely aligns with your ice-attribute Dao Law.
I will control the Yang-attribute Dao Artifact.
As for the other three Great Dao Laws, I will refine them into a Formation Diagram," Li Mu finally added.
Upon hearing this, all the beasts showed expressions of awe, their eyes gleaming with longing and reverence for the Mixed Origin Reversal Spirit Sealing Array.
An Artifact Formation capable of combining the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Space, Years, and Karma—these ten Great Dao Laws—was by no means easy; the wisdom and power contained behind it must be beyond imagination.
"Master, this... this Mixed Origin Reversal Spirit Sealing Array, can it really combine ten Great Dao Laws? This is too incredible!" Xiao Jin's green eyes widened, and he exclaimed excitedly.
"Master, you are truly amazing! To be able to refine such a complex Artifact Formation, Xiao Wa truly admires you wholeheartedly!" Xiao Wa looked at Li Mu with immense adoration.
Azure Moon True Dragon's eyes were sharp, knowing the profoundness and power of the Great Dao Laws.
An Artifact Formation capable of combining ten Great Dao Laws would undoubtedly be a tremendous help to cultivators.
Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix and Azure Jade Ginseng King were also full of admiration; Li Mu's ability to refine so many complex Dao Artifacts and then assemble such a magnificent Artifact Formation was enough to prove that his mastery of the ten Great Dao Laws had reached an extraordinary level.
"Li Dage, won't it be too difficult? Are you confident? Take your time, don't push yourself!"
Xue'er looked at Li Mu with a face full of concern, her eyes holding both anticipation and worry, speaking caringly.
Li Mu looked at Xue'er and the other beasts' worried expressions, and a warm current surged in his heart.
He smiled and shook his head, explaining: "Xue'er, don't worry, since I proposed this refining plan, I naturally have a certain degree of confidence.
If the entire Artifact Formation were to be refined all at once, the difficulty would certainly be extremely high.
However, if it is divided into numerous Dao Artifacts, existing independently, and then reassembled into a complete Artifact Formation for use in the Sea of Consciousness, the difficulty decreases significantly, and the success rate greatly increases."
This Artifact Refining technique, Li Mu referenced Myriad Swords Mountain's Artifact Refining method, breaking the whole into parts, refining them separately, and finally combining them to achieve the best effect.
This Artifact Refining technique centers around the Artifact Formation Diagram, then refines seven Dao Artifacts separately to enter the Formation.
This not only reduces the difficulty of Artifact Refining but also has the opportunity to boost the seven-rank Formation Diagram, allowing it to advance faster due to the completeness of the Dao Law.
This time, the set of seven-rank Formation Artifacts Li Mu was preparing to refine contained the ten Great Dao Laws of Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Space-Time, Years, and Karma, and furthermore, would integrate Three Thousand Divine Runes.
If successfully refined and integrated into a Formation, its Foundation, roots, and power would be even stronger than the eight-rank Chaos Spirit Banner and the eight-rank Myriad Swords Mountain, potentially directly advancing to the eighth-rank, or even touching the edge of a nine-rank Divine Artifact.
"However, refining such Life Dao Artifacts is not an overnight task; it requires collecting a large amount of precious Materials and undergoing a complex refining process," Li Mu said with a solemn expression, continuing: "Moreover, during the refining process, you will also need to fully cooperate, integrating your minds with the Materials and the Formation, only then can we ensure that the Life Dao Artifacts are connected to your minds and unleash their maximum power."
Upon hearing this, the beasts all nodded, expressing their willingness to fully cooperate with Li Mu's refining plan.
This was a rare opportunity; possessing a Life Dao Artifact intimately connected to their own minds would be a huge boost to their cultivation and strength.
"Master, what should we do next?" Xiao Jin asked impatiently.
Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "Next, I will first refine your individual Life Dao Artifacts.
During the refining process, I will need your support with your True Spirit Origin power, working closely with me to refine the Dao Artifacts together, ensuring that the Life Dao Artifacts can smoothly connect with your Bloodline."
The beasts all nodded, indicating their understanding; this was the key to refining Life Dao Artifacts, and there could be no slightest carelessness or oversight.
Soon, Li Mu led the beasts into the Artifact Refining Room.
He immediately condensed Chaos Fire, forming a furnace with the fire, and began refining the first seven-rank Divine Runes Dao Artifact, starting with Xiao Jin's tail.
Green-Eyed Golden Ape - Xiao Jin followed Li Mu's instructions, opening his mind, allowing Li Mu to control his body using the Soul Communion Technique, and outputting Golden Ape Origin to participate in the refining together.
Li Mu spared no expense, taking out precious seven-rank gold-element Spiritual Materials one by one from his tianxuan ring—golden flame divine sand, Liu Jin Boundary Crystal, and so on—and continuously throwing them into the Chaos Fire Artifact Refining furnace.
The Chaos Fire instantly enveloped these rare Materials.
Under the high temperature, the Materials began to melt, radiating dazzling light.
Numerous golden spiritual liquids intertwined and collided within the furnace, and faint sounds of dragon roars and tiger growls could be heard—a sign of the spiritual essence sublimating. (End of this chapter)
