Upon hearing the Saint Artifact Spirit's arrogant self-proclamation as a "Little Brother," Liu Boli nearly exploded and was about to emerge from the Golden Toad to personally apologize to the Artifact Spirit.
However, that "Little Brother" made the Saint Artifact Spirit recall events from the Artifact Refining World.
He had voluntarily recognized him as his "Little Brother."
He stood up, flew to the Four-Not-Alike Puppet, gently touched the Spiritual Reindeer's head with his right hand, frowned, and used his left hand to wipe his right hand.
Qian Duoduo was in a great hurry.
It was clear that the Saint Artifact Spirit disliked the Puppet's head not being a Qilin's head and was starting to hesitate again.
"Bear with it for now. I swear, I will do my best to help you return to being a Sacred Artifact as soon as possible."
Qian Duoduo loudly promised the fat boy.
The Saint Artifact Spirit looked at him, then at the Golden Winged Bird that had finished eating the Dragon and was burping, before diving into the Puppet and entering the Entering Saint Key.
As he burst in, the Four-Not-Alike Puppet's body began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
His soul liquid occupied the soul core and nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine soul holes of the Entering Saint Key, and flowed along the Four-Not-Alike's Spiritual Veins, filling the entire Puppet's body.
The Four-Not-Alike's eyes lit up, its head moved, and its limbs began to stir.
The Four-Not-Alike Puppet's tail swished, and its grade began to rise from Senior Dan Artifact, with a "bang," it reached Profound Weapon—initial, middle, and senior grades—and with another "bang," it reached Spiritual Artifact.
Inside the Golden Toad, Liu Boli watched the Four-Not-Alike with wide eyes.
The Magic Treasure he refined at most was only a Spiritual Artifact.
Fat Snake Xiao Guan simply buried his head in the ground. A Heavenly Human Realm Liu Boli made him voluntarily submit.
A Golden Winged Bird pecking at a Dragon made him give up resistance.
Now there was another unfathomable fat boy, making him only able to worship endlessly.
Amidst Liu Boli's surprise and Fat Snake Xiao Guan's worship, the Four-Not-Alike leaped from Spiritual Artifact to Treasure Artifact, and then transformed from Treasure Artifact into Immortal Artifact.
The moment the Immortal Artifact appeared, Spiritual Qi filled the entire Ice Gale World.
The Ice Gale World became a Cultivation paradise, yet at the same time, it was like a thin sheet of ice that would shatter into countless pieces if even a tiny pebble were to fall on it.
At the same time, countless cracks also appeared on the Four-Not-Alike's body.
Qian Duoduo knew that if the Four-Not-Alike's aura were to rise even a little more, then this newly refined body, along with the Entering Saint Key, would turn into nothing, and the fat boy would have to return to his Lower Spirit Sea.
All that effort and all that commotion would be for nothing.
"That's enough. Don't ascend any further. If you ascend more, you'll take this Puppet's life."
Qian Duoduo advised.
Liu Boli, inside the Golden Toad, had another headache.
He felt that his disciple Qian Duoduo's words were too blunt; how could a Dan artifact compare to a Sacred Artifact? Let alone letting the Saint Artifact Spirit discard one Dan artifact, even discarding ten thousand wouldn't be a problem.
If it was discarded, one couldn't blame the Sacred Artifact; one could only blame the Dan artifact for being too weak.
However, Qian Duoduo's words immediately caused the Four-Not-Alike's rapidly surging aura to stop.
At this moment, the Golden Winged Bird glanced at the Four-Not-Alike, which had turned into an Immortal Artifact, then casually wiped its sharp beak on Qian Duoduo's hair, drilled into his head from above, returned to the Lower Spirit Sea, and transformed back into two small purple fish.
Compared to before, the small purple fish were a whole size larger.
Without time to digest the thunder power in the Spiritual Vein, Qian Duoduo stepped forward and gently stroked the Four-Not-Alike's head.
"Too much power, this body cannot bear it. Take it slow, one step at a time; growth itself is very miraculous."
The Four-Not-Alike's eyes, as pure as the Saint Artifact Spirit's, blinked twice.
The Four-Not-Alike's aura began to descend, from high-grade Immortal Artifact to initial-grade Immortal Artifact.
Qian Duoduo squatted down and held the Four-Not-Alike in his arms. The Four-Not-Alike struggled for a bit, then stopped, its aura descending further, from Immortal Artifact back to Treasure Artifact, and then from Treasure Artifact down to Spiritual Artifact.
Fat Snake Xiao Guan slightly raised his head.
However, the Four-Not-Alike's aura was still descending.
