Chapter 540: Divine Pattern, Illusory
Chapter 540: Divine Pattern, Illusory
There were six eighth-level incense sticks, three of which came from the Thousand Spirits Saving People Stele, and three were obtained from the Health Preservation Gate Hall, which was an unexpected gain.
"Combined armor."
After a moment's hesitation, Li Yuan threw the newly assembled 'Dragon Kun Armor' into the Divine Fire Combination Furnace, set it on fire, and used gold and silver as fuel. Soon, dazzling golden light flashed in the furnace.
He skillfully bled the person and injected his inner energy into him. After a moment, a mouthful of dark red armor was spat out by the combined furnace.
【Dragon Kun Blood Armor (Level 8)】
[…The divine fire ignites. With the thousand pieces of armor as its foundation, the armor is forged with the blood and energy of the weapon master as its soul. The spirit has been born…]
[Control conditions: Control the bloodline of the main force]
[Control Effect: Level 8 (Gold): Divine Weapons Are Hard to Damage
Level 7 (Light Gold): Horizontal Training Talent]
“It’s average, but it’s OK.”
Li Yuan nodded.
The standard armor of the Dragon and Tiger Army is not considered to be of high quality, but its grade is actually not bad. Moreover, because it is standard armor with unified characteristics, the success rate of combining forces is extremely high.
Following the same method, he soon created two identical eighth-tier 'Dragon Kun Blood Armor'.
"The combined forces do not need fine weapons, standard equipment is more suitable, but it's a pity that there is no ninth-level incense..."
Li Yuan played with the three sets of divine armor.
The success rate of combining standard equipment is very high, with more successes than failures. After a round of combining, he did not lose much incense, but the low-level weapons were all used up.
"We have to ask the old dragon head for a batch. Anyway, we have the Black Whale Hammer and the place to raise troops as an excuse."
Exposing the identity of the Black Whale Hammer Master is not without benefits. For example, the reason for collecting weapons can be attributed to the Black Whale Hammer. Li Yuan had a thought in his mind, but he was a little hesitant:
"The remaining three eighth-level incense sticks..."
Previously, he had obtained 200 seventh-level incense sticks at one time, which greatly raised Li Yuan's threshold. He was no longer as reluctant to use the incense sticks as before, but he still had to consider how to use them.
"Well... I need a pair of boots and a piece of bone ornament. I also need to keep an eighth-level incense stick in my hand. I can combine forces later if needed. Well, that's it..."
After thinking for a moment, Li Yuan began to gather his troops.
He was already familiar with the process of combining troops, and in a short while, he had combined two eighth-level items.
【Longkun Thousand Beast Boots (Level 8)】
[…With the blood of the Master of Arms as the source, and with the boots made from various spirit beasts, they are forged with divine fire, and their spirituality is already alive, with a slight appearance of dragons and Kun…]
[Control conditions: Control the bloodline of the main force]
[Control Effect: Level 8 (Gold): Dragon Kun Speed
Level 7 (Pale Gold): Swift as Thunder]
"The appearance of Long Kun?"
Li Yuan was slightly startled. Weapons above the seventh level, even combined weapons, needed him to irrigate their qi and blood. But this was the first time he had seen such a 'dragon Kun appearance'.
[The speed of Dragon Kun: The commander of the army uses the "forms of all beasts to imitate the sea-splitting black whale and become the form of Dragon Kun". Dragon Kun, when it enters the water, becomes Kun; when it soars into the sky, becomes a dragon; when it enters the clouds, becomes thunder; when it lands, becomes wind...]
[When the divine fire and the magic weapons merge, these boots are stained with the shape of dragon Kun...]
"This is an unexpected surprise."
Li Yuan was quite surprised, but he didn't rush to try it. Instead, he picked up the bone ornament:
[Thousand Bone Fierce Blood Ring (Level 8)]
[…The bones of hundreds of spirit beasts, spirit birds, and spirit insects were forged by divine fire. The remaining spirit beasts’ souls were fused in the fire, and microscopic spirits were born…]
[Control conditions: Control the bloodline of the main force]
[Control Effect: Level 8 (Gold): Avoid danger if you sense it
Level 7 (Light Gold): Spiritual Beast Perception]
[Avoid danger: 'Go with the wind, avoid danger']
"That's not bad."
Weighing the earring, Li Yuan attached great importance to this kind of blessing. If one could foresee danger, he could avoid it in advance or change the control combination. This could be used in conjunction with the Zhenhai Black Turtle Shell.
As for the perception of the spirit beast, it is also good. The other five bone ornaments also have this kind of control blessing. When combined, the power is quite impressive.
After a change of mind, Li Yuan was quite satisfied with this combination of forces. He put away the last wisp of eighth-level incense, opened his eyes, left the warehouse, and ended this combination of forces.
……
On the way back to the house, Li Yuan tried to control the newly assembled weapons, but the results were not as good as he expected. The one that had the most immediate effect was the Long Kun Thousand Beasts Boots.
This pair of eighth-level spiritual boots is highly compatible with him.
With the help of the control, Li Yuan felt as if he had merged into the wind. He didn't have to exert any effort to go with the flow, without any worldly air.
"nice one."
Li Yuan was slightly delighted, and immediately took up four pairs of boots, three of which were [Dragon Kun Boots of a Hundred Beasts (Level 7)], one of which were [Divine Fire Thousand Beasts Boots (Level 7)] and [Divine Fire Hundred Beasts Boots (Level 6)].
With nine pairs of spiritual boots on his body, Li Yuan felt that he was as light as a feather. This could not even be said to be an illusion, because he did not activate his true energy and there was no trace wherever he passed.
With a little effort, he felt as if he was floating up to the sky.
"Maybe, we can try to fly!"
Li Yuan felt a little excited.
A martial artist with great Qi and meridians can, after his true Qi is full, stand in the air to a certain extent. Several years ago, he could stand in the air for several hours, and could even mobilize his true Qi to float in the air.
But that's just flying in the air, and once you move violently or get distracted, you'll fall down, not to mention fighting with others.
But now, with the help of nine pairs of spiritual boots, it may be possible.
"The benefits of a single control stack..."
Feeling the miraculous effects of various blessings, Li Yuan immersed himself in them, and was quite selfless along the way. Fortunately, after the martial arts performances of various sects, Longhu Temple was no longer as lively as before, and few passers-by saw him.
After the spiritual boots, it is the Thousand Bones Fierce Blood Ring.
He put together a set of nine bone ornaments and controlled them all at once. He felt a slight chill between his eyebrows and a sense of his soul leaving his body. The surrounding scenery became extremely vivid. "What is this?"
Li Yuan was suddenly startled and looked towards Long Xixiang's small temple.
He was naturally very familiar with this small temple, as he had gone there and seen it every day before. But at this moment, under his gaze, the small temple seemed to be a living thing, trembling rhythmically.
Under the light white mist, you can faintly see many intertwined "lines".
"Divine pattern..."
Li Yuan subconsciously took a few steps closer, and the crisscrossing divine patterns became vivid, as if he could grasp them with just a stretch of his hand.
"This is, picking wonders?!"
Li Yuan suddenly realized something. When he heard other people talk about the wonders of picking fruits before, no matter how easy it was to explain, he still had some doubts.
But when he saw it with his own eyes, he suddenly understood.
"The outer manifestation is the scenery, the inner manifestation is the divine pattern..."
Li Yuan looked around, and wherever he looked, whether it was grass, trees, rocks, or anything else that was not carved by artificial means, there were divine patterns flowing.
The only difference is the color, thickness, length, and appearance. It seems illusory and unreal.
"Um?!"
Suddenly, Li Yuan's heart was shaken. He looked towards the direction of Hushan. Faintly, he could see four balls of light interweaving like clouds.
Complex divine patterns entangled and flowed in it, some were dragons and elephants, some were divine swords, dragons and tigers, and some were carved dragons and golden bells...
"Is this Old Dragon Head and Old Taoist Nie entertaining those two old seniors?"
Li Yuan wanted to stare again, but he felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows. He could not help but come out of this strange state. Fatigue and sleepiness also surged over him like a tide. This was a sign of excessive mental exhaustion.
"A wonder, a divine pattern."
Rubbing his brows, Li Yuan was still immersed in what he had just seen. He had seen the divine patterns before. Apart from other things, the Pure Yang Sword of Taoist Nie was still in the army training ground.
But this is the first time that it has been so intuitive, clear and comprehensive.
Divine patterns flowed under the rocks and grass, and for a moment he felt as if he was seeing the real world.
But he soon collected his thoughts. He was so exhausted that he had to go back to his room to catch up on some sleep.
……
……
After the heavy snow, the waterfall outside Jingtao Hall had already frozen.
In the open space in front of the hall, Taoist Tiancan slowly practiced standing meditation. His movements were gentle, even a little soft, but as he pushed, the aura around him slowly rose, as if a dormant volcano was about to erupt.
At one side, the bald monk sat with his waist bent and breathed in and out, and a golden bell that seemed to be there and not there appeared outside his body. The golden bell was covered with textures, and at first glance, it looked like a golden dragon was swimming around.
"Om~"
In front of the two men, Nie Xianshan and Long Xixiang had solemn expressions, with energetic energy and mist swirling around them.
"call!"
After a moment, Long Xixiang and the other man took several steps back together, and the Tiancan Taoist and the other man, who had been practicing Qigong with their eyes closed, slowly opened their eyes, with a look of fatigue on their faces.
"The injuries of the two seniors are much more serious than those of this junior. This is because the seniors have great merits and virtues. If it were someone else, they might not be able to hold on until now."
Long Xixiang let out a long sigh, thinking back to the shattered divine realm he had just seen, and felt a sense of empathy.
Compared to his past self, Wan Zhuliu's attack on these two was several times more severe. The sword intent almost merged with the divine realm and looked shocking.
"That Wan guy is really cruel and vicious."
Nie Xianshan was quite indignant: "Killing people is not enough, to torture them like this is really unkind!"
"..."
The bald monk did not respond, and the Taoist priest Tiancan coughed lightly:
"Master Long, why did you ask me to come here? It can't be just to check on our injuries, right?"
"I invited the two seniors here for an important matter."
Long Xixiang glanced at Nie Xianshan. This old Taoist had changed a lot since he broke through the Tiangang, and he was even less able to speak than him.
"Oh?"
Taoist Tiancan became interested: "Tell me about it."
"I wonder if you two seniors know about the imperial court's God-peeking Ceremony?"
Long Xixiang asked.
"A glimpse of the God's sacrifice?"
Taoist Tiancan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he sneered: "What kind of prophecy is this? Fifty years later, it's just the imperial court playing tricks and deliberately alienating us from the Taoist sect. I don't believe it."
The bald monk glanced at him and said nothing.
"The imperial court is worthy of death!"
Nie Xianshan quite agreed.
"My disciple has a kind nature and is obsessed with martial arts. He has never been hostile to anyone, but he was slandered by the court as a master-killer. He is really a traitor!"
Long Xixiang's face was full of indignation.
"That's not what you said in God's Capital..."
Taoist Tiancan and the bald-headed monk looked at each other and complained in their hearts. Although they did not go to the capital, they knew clearly what happened that day.
But they would not point it out. The two who had already noticed some clues nodded and agreed.
