"Daoist Friends, in refining the Eight部 Futu, you absolutely must not act with undue haste. I still have numerous Heavenly Demons and several friends reared inside my Eight部 Futu. Slowly regulating the source energy, refining slowly, and coordinating with them is the kingly way. Hah! The Buddha subdues the dragon! The Six-Syllable True Mantra, free in the world, the True King descends."
Seeing Bai Xi and Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable acting so fiercely, Fang Han's heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth and spat out a spiritual talisman. A thousand layers of Buddhist light radiated from it, illuminating the void. In the Buddhist light, a Buddha appeared with a benevolent visage, entirely filled with compassion, serenity, joy, and elation. It was precisely the phantom of the Worldly Free King Buddha.
As soon as this phantom emerged, it waved its hand and supported the Eight部 Futu on its palm. Holding the treasure pagoda in its hand, its treasured appearance was solemn. Instantly, the frenzied source energy within that treasure pagoda was successively suppressed, transforming methodically and orderly. The form of the entire treasure pagoda squirmed like flesh and blood, seemingly about to give birth to its own life.
Fang Han spent four thousand years of arduous cultivation inside the Yellow Spring Diagram. Under the guidance of the Human Emperor Pen, this Worldly Free King spiritual talisman was also sacrificed and refined to become increasingly wondrous. Although its various functions had not yet been fully developed, it could exert an unparalleled effect in suppressing restless source energy and guarding the mind.
"Hmm?"
Seeing the Worldly Free King spiritual talisman manifest a phantom, Bai Xi and Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable were both startled.
"Is this not the legendary spiritual talisman that suppressed the Scarlet Abyss Demon Venerable? But it requires the Great Karma Technique to activate. Could it be he knows the legendary Great Karma Technique?" Bai Xi was shocked internally, cold light flickering in his eyes: "The Great Karma Technique ranks second among the Three Thousand Great Daos, secondary only to the Great Destiny Technique. However, the Great Destiny Technique has never appeared, and the Immortal World does not possess it. Thus, the current number one Great Dao is Karma acting as king. This Dao technique is unimaginably profoundly mysterious. Even if you told me the cultivation mantra of the Great Karma Technique, I might not be able to successfully cultivate it. This youth is truly an unfathomable abyss! It seems I must handle him carefully."
"Brother Bai Xi, let us refine slowly." Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable shouted: "To think Daoist Friend Fang Han could actually activate the spiritual talisman of the Worldly Free King Buddha. This is for the best; it provides even greater certainty of a successful artifact refinement, uncorrupted by suddenly invading devils."
While speaking, their hand seals slowed down, striking out incantation seals bit by bit according to the artifact refining methods from the Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual.
"Daoist Mu, Green-Faced Venerable, Five Swords Gentleman, Turning Wheel Holy King, Jialan… Coordinate together and quickly drive the Great Treasure Refining Technique as well! This time refining the Eight部 Futu is an immense trial for you all. If it truly succeeds, summoning the source soul aura of the Primeval Ancestor Dragon to descend upon the pagoda's body, you will have a great opportunity to elevate your realms once again."
Fang Han's divine sense resonated within the Eight部 Futu, transmitting into everyone's hearts.
"Buzz!"
Daoist Mu and the others didn't waste words, uniting together to strike out the Great Treasure Refining Technique. Consider just how spectacular and vast a sight it was when 1.8 billion Heavenly Demons activated it simultaneously. Various sounds converged into a torrent, breaking down the various materials.
"Bang!"
A golden dragon stretching a thousand zhang long was pulverized. Its flesh and blood melted, and its bones turned into white dust, seeping into the Eight部 Futu. It was refined into streaks of talismanic runes, burning with raging flames. All impurities were refined away.
Fang Han opened his mouth and spat out.
A torrent of flames swept out transversally, also pouring into the Eight部 Futu. Those dragon corpses, dragon blood, dragon bones, and various materials thoroughly decomposed under the flames, transforming into pure source energy. Even that Horn of the Azure Dragon began to melt. The artifact spirit inside had long since converted, flying out, abandoning its original body, and also chanting scriptures.
"Such pure flames!"
While striking out incantation seals, Bai Xi and Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable were once again shocked. Looking at the purely transparent flames, resembling celestial flowers, they knew that was the "Heavenly Realm Pure Fire"! Unsurpassed in purity, it could temper out all impurities from magical treasures.
They were unable to emit this kind of flame themselves.
"It is rumored that this person cultivated the Great Five Elements Technique. The Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi refines everything, but this kind of flame is truly formidable. Could it be?"
"It seems to be the aura of a Peerless Dao Artifact. Rumor has it that within the Tianwu Treasury, there are Five Elements Peerless Dao Artifacts refined by Panwu Immortal Venerable. If they can be integrated into the body, the power is tremendous. I estimate this surge of flames is emitted by a Peerless Dao Artifact. Otherwise, with his cultivation, it would be impossible to emit such terrifying flames that are fully capable of burning my world."
"Alright, let us put all our effort into the refinement. At the moment the Eight部 Futu attains great success, we will borrow the aura of the Primeval Ancestor Dragon to break through our realms. And then…"
"Say no more, let's refine first. The faster, the better. This magical treasure, the Eight部 Futu, is even more difficult to refine than a Peerless Dao Artifact."
Seeing Fang Han emit this kind of Heavenly Realm Pure Fire, the bodies of Bai Xi and Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable swayed as they suddenly flew out. Their world powers poured in madly once more. Simultaneously, their mouths forcefully sprayed out a river-like stream of Creation Qi.
The Creation Qi possessed a faint touch of clean bud-yellow, like the aura of all things germinating, but within it also lay a crushing force capable of altering rules.
It was precisely by having this kind of Creation Qi that one could condense a High-grade Dao Artifact.
Compared to Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable and Bai Xi's Creation Qi, Fang Han's was much weaker. Spewing out from his mouth, it was like a small stream. After all, there was a difference of two realms. Their cultivation was not on the same level and could not be compared.
As Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable and Bai Xi's Creation Qi surged into the Eight部 Futu, the matter of the Eight部 Futu began to condense and alter in the direction recorded in the Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual. The entire pagoda's body grew taller, more upright, and sharply defined. The Dragon World was even opened up, and the Eight部 Supreme Dragon Qi from above shot down forcefully, converging into an ocean. Within that ocean, indistinctly, wrapped a wildly savage aura seemingly capable of tearing apart the myriad heavens and swallowing the universe, radiating outwards.
This aura was extremely ancient, seemingly originating from an era before heaven and earth were divided.
Bathing in this aura, all living beings within the Eight部 Futu went still and peaceful, as if they had returned to the connate stage, entering a massive womb.
"Hmm? Good. This indeed possesses some flavor of the ancient Dragon Race. Let us continue condensing!"
Fang Han, Bai Xi, and Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable exchanged glances, all revealing joyous expressions upon seeing the changes in the Eight部 Futu. The three men wildly sprayed out Creation Qi once again and struck out the Great Treasure Refining Technique.
Roar roar! Roar roar!
This phase of refinement passed for several years. That Bai Xi continuously sprayed out Creation Qi, and the mana within his body seemed unable to keep up. Seeing this, Fang Han immediately transferred a vast stream of Pure Yang source energy over, and Bai Xi instantly recovered the vigor of a dragon and the fierceness of a tiger.
And Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable also bellowed loudly: "Daoist Friend Fang Han, quickly transfer it to me. Burn one hundred billion Pure Yang medicinal pills into my body. I am going to activate my Nine Dignitaries State Tripods. Having spent so many years condensing the Eight部 Futu, I have re-comprehended the Great Treasure Refining Technique. The nine State Tripods can act even more nimbly and accelerate the speed!"
"Alright!"
Fang Han did not hesitate slightly. His body swayed, and instantly, within the void, one after another Pure Yang crystal mountains appeared, striking into Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable's body and burning within his internal world.
In an instant, Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable's world was like an exploding star, emitting infinite light and heat. At the same time, Fang Han also caught a glimpse of some profound mysteries of the world condensed by Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable out of his own doing.
"State and Cosmos, Nine Tripods Become One, Supreme of the Dao of the Tripod, Suppress the Four Directions!"
The nine Semi-Peerless Dao Artifact State Tripods were activated by Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable. They spun continuously and, after flying up, suddenly turned completely upside-down. From within the tripods, thousands of millions of spirit liquid sprayed out. That spirit liquid transformed into little human figures that seeped into the Eight部 Futu, then merged with the Creation Qi, causing the various magical treasures in the middle of the Eight部 Futu to become even more sentient.
"Heaven and Earth Jade Marrow!" Fang Han was startled. He knew this was a precious spirit liquid that had immense benefits for harmonizing the source energy of magical treasures. Every single drop was extremely precious. With Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable becoming a grandmaster of artifact refining, the utility of this treasure was extraordinarily hard to come by.
The Eight部 Futu underwent changes once again.
All the Heavenly Demons within began to grow. Many Heavenly Demons either split apart or, borrowing the Eight部 Supreme Dragon Qi, transformed into Demon Kings. Furthermore, they were not ordinary Demon Kings, but Dragon Demon Kings—powerful existences that were half-demon, half-dragon.
Dragon Demons!
Possessing thick dragon breath.
At this very moment, the dragon breath emanating from within the Eight部 Futu was such that if even an ordinary person smelled it, their strength would vastly increase, and they would grow scales on their body, taking on some traits of a dragon.
"Eight Pole Golden Lock! Throw open the major gates! Golden Immortal empowerment, ancient titan!"
Bai Xi's eyes flashed, seemingly feeling that he too must utilize all his strength to achieve rapid success. As a result, a potent white vapor from within his body rushed out from his mind, transforming in the midair into a massive, purely white, flawless, and perfect hand. With a slight rotation, this hand pushed the entire grand array.
Rumble!
This grand array was thoroughly pushed into motion, turning over and operating. Countless amounts of golden liquid, transforming into an Indestructible Substance, flew out and rushed into the Eight部 Futu, forcing the space inside the pagoda's body to relentlessly circulate and expand.
This expansion, resembling the birth and evolution of a planet, expanded continuously for a full century before ultimately halting recently. The internal space of the Eight部 Futu had already undergone earth-shaking changes. A massive space unfolded outwards. The eight magical treasures within were all permeated by the Indestructible Substance.
"How is there so much Indestructible Substance!" Fang Han was shocked. Over all these years, he had only refined a tiny bit of Indestructible Substance within his body. The flesh and blood of his physical body had not yet completely transformed.
When Creation Qi merged with his own flesh and blood, it would slowly condense into Indestructible Substance. In the end, transforming all of his physically flesh and blood to Indestructible Substance would mean attaining great success, and subsequently merging with the void to comprehend the Heaven Position.
"Pay attention! Fang Han, quickly pour Pure Yang source energy into the Eight部 Futu. This treasure is about to undergo its final transformation!" Bai Xi bellowed wildly, opening his mouth to forcefully spray out Pure Yang true fire.
Fang Han hesitated even less now. His body stood up, transforming into a physique with three thousand arms and three thousand eyes. From each arm of that body, a long river of Pure Yang was struck out, violently charging into the interior of the Eight部 Futu.
