Chapter 632: Chapter 632: Refining Furnace Upgrade, Heavenly Stele Fragment (Three More)
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The Refining Furnace echoed with an incessant sound, as if excited, seemingly enjoying the sensation of being transformed.
“Even Supreme Grade Spirit Treasures can’t escape the true fragrance law, eh!”
Ye Feng smiled.
In the process of transforming the Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear, the Refining Furnace also absorbed a significant amount of Upgrade Energy, and finally, after six hours, it accumulated enough to meet the conditions for advancing to Middle Grade Spirit Treasure.
Clang!
The lid of the furnace shot towards the sky.
The Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear flew into the air, rapidly circling above the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, appearing very joyful.
Its grade remained a Supreme Grade Spirit Treasure, but its surface had been engraved with more complex Array Patterns by the Refining Furnace, increasing its power by thirty percent.
Even without Ye Feng’s activation, the Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear could hold its own against high-ranked Void Break cultivators.
“Not bad!”
Ye Feng complimented.
It was a pity the Refining Furnace was only a Lower Grade Spirit Treasure for now; if it were a Supreme Grade, it could definitely double the power of the Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear.
Clang, clang, clang!
The Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear tapped the transforming Refining Furnace with its tip, as if offering praise.
“Are you trying to break the Refining Furnace?”
Ye Feng walked over, grabbed the Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear, and tossed it outside the Sect Leader’s Great Hall.
Clang!
The Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear vibrated intensely, flying around Misty Peak in a huff, occasionally using its tip to examine its surroundings.
If Ye Feng were there, he would’ve noticed that on each side of the spearhead, a special pattern had emerged that at first glance seemed like a pair of eerie eyes.
“Eh, is this the Sect Leader’s Supreme Grade Spirit Treasure?”
Atop the peak, the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine stood tall, now reaching a height of five hundred meters, with a huge human face on its trunk, watching the Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear fly around the summit.
Upon seeing the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine, the Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear examined it, and after a moment, began flying chaotically around various places in the Misty Sect.
“Look, it’s the Sect Leader’s Supreme Grade Spirit Treasure!”
The disciples stopped to watch, unable to restrain their curiosity.
To the admiration and praise from the crowd, the Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear was extremely satisfied, emitting pleasant vibrating sounds now and then, like a beautiful symphony.
On Feilai Peak.
Inner Sect Elder Li Zilong clenched the Mad Dragon Bone Spear, enlightened by the sound of the Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear, his spear intent surging tremendously.
It wasn’t just him.
The disciples who practiced with spears and lances were also mentally shaken, as if they had gained sudden enlightenment, with their cultivation speed soaring.
At the summit of Misty Peak.
Ye Feng noticed this and the corners of his mouth curved upwards.
“Not bad!”
“The Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear internally contains ‘Creation Purple Gold,’ and its sound is imbued with profound meanings that can enhance the comprehension of similar cultivators, offering them chances for sudden enlightenment.”
“With it, practitioners like Li Zilong will have a much smoother cultivation journey.”
With that, Ye Feng looked towards the Refining Furnace beside him.
Boom!
Suddenly, it shot into the sky, drawing in the fierce Heavenly Tribulation Clouds.
However, the Refining Furnace was not fearful of the Heavenly Tribulation.
No matter how the Heavenly Tribulation struck, the Refining Furnace devoured it all, smoothly completing its transformation.
Hum!
The Refining Furnace fell back into Ye Feng’s palm.
The Array Patterns on its surface were now more intricate, and it was emanating the Power of Heaven and Earth, clearly much stronger than before.
[Upgrade Energy: 25%]
Relying on the Heavenly Tribulation, the Refining Furnace absorbed so much more Upgrade Energy, and with just double that amount, it could advance to Upper Grade Spirit Treasure.
Ye Feng extended his hand, and a head-sized piece of Ancient Bronze, weighing a thousand catties, evidently condensed and compressed, appeared in his palm.
Ye Feng grasped the Ancient Bronze and pulled forcefully to both sides.
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out as the Ancient Bronze broke into two pieces, revealing white fragments of a broken stele falling to the ground.
Ye Feng casually threw the Ancient Bronze into the Refining Furnace, then picked up the broken stele from the ground.
“As expected!”
He reached out and touched the table, and two other similar white steles appeared; these were Heavenly Stele Fragments.
Ye Feng pieced together the three stele fragments, forming a complete white stele that was a foot tall, half a foot wide, and an inch thick.
“The Heavenly Stele is complete!”
Ye Feng said with a smile.
Now that all three Heavenly Stele Fragments were gathered, Ye Feng realized they still needed to be restored with a Refining Furnace.
But, the Heavenly Stele was a Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasure.
The Refining Furnace, having only recently been upgraded to a Middle Grade Spirit Treasure, was insufficient to repair the Heavenly Stele that was shattered into three pieces.
This was different from the transformation of the Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear.
The Heaven-reaching Purple-gold Spear possessed an Artifact Spirit and was intact without any flaws, able to cooperate during the transformation process, which was why it could be successful.
But the Heavenly Stele was broken, akin to a dead object.
Under such circumstances, the Refining Furnace would at least need to reach the level of an Upper Grade Spirit Treasure to repair it.
“I will wait for the Refining Furnace to upgrade before repairing it. By then, I’ll also attempt to enter the Tenth Great Mountain Range,”
Ye Feng murmured to himself.
Now that he had become a Body Cultivation Heavenly Emperor, the vast world was accessible to him, and he was pondering when to visit the Ten Great Mountain Ranges or even the Five Great Forbidden Zones.
…
Jiaoyang Holy City.
“Have you heard the name ‘Ye Feng’ before?”
“I know, he is the Misty Sect’s Sect Master. Legend has it that he is a Body Cultivation Heavenly Emperor, and even the White Robe Heavenly Emperor, Yellow Dragon Heavenly Emperor, and Divine Sea Dragon Empress are wary of him.”
“It’s said that Ye Feng is highly valued by the Jiaoyang Ancient Holy Vessel.”
“Rumors are just rumors. How could a Saint care about a Heavenly Emperor? A Quasi-Saint, maybe!”
“Tsk! You just don’t get it.”
The streets and alleys of the Holy City, within all the major forces, were abuzz discussing the meeting between Ye Feng and the City Lord of Jiaoyang Holy City.
“I’m very curious, how could the Misty Sect, situated at the southern border of the Shenzhou Continent, where there seem to be no high-grade Spirit Veins, produce a Body Cultivation Heavenly Emperor?”
“This I do not understand.”
Some High-Rank Cultivators continued the discussion.
The fact that Ye Feng had ascended to a Body Cultivation Heavenly Emperor intrigued them greatly; however, since Ye Feng was too powerful, they did not dare to inquire directly.
Otherwise, they would surely be sent flying with a single punch.
“It’s said that Misty Sect’s Sect Master Ye Feng can perfectly perform ‘Seven Steps to Heaven’, which makes it quite likely that he is a successor of Emperor Beihe.”
“Speaking of Emperor Beihe, that guy was terrifying enough, he emerged out of nowhere back in the day, sweeping through all the Holy Cities and the Void Break ancestors of the Five-Star Forces. Terrifying indeed.”
“However, wasn’t Emperor Beihe only at the seventh level of Void Break back then, far from being a Heavenly Emperor? Ye Feng is a Body Cultivation Heavenly Emperor; how could he possibly be a successor of Emperor Beihe?”
“Are you silly? Emperor Beihe was at the seventh level of Void Break thousands of years ago. With his talent and gifts, he must be at least a Quasi-Saint by now, so why couldn’t he have nurtured Ye Feng, a Body Cultivation Heavenly Emperor?”
“That does make sense!”
Everyone began to associate Ye Feng with Emperor Beihe, convinced that they must know each other.
At that moment, someone shouted:
“Who just said that the Misty Sect doesn’t have any high-grade Spirit Veins? I heard that Misty Sect indeed has a Super Large Spirit Vein, and moreover, it was crafted by Ye Feng himself.”
“Some say he is the Son of Destiny!”
“Hiss!”
The more they discussed, the more astounded the crowd became.
The Son of Destiny?
That was no trivial matter!
If true, even the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint would have to address Ye Feng as “Fellow Daoist.”
“Ye Feng couldn’t possibly be the Son of Destiny, but I have seen with my own eyes how he received recognition from a massive amount of Ancient Heroic Spirit Force. It’s true that he is a Chosen One,”
Someone expressed a different opinion.
At the top level of a tea house.
Inside a special private room.
Three people were seated: two men and one woman.
An old man whose body seemed devoid of any aura, yet when his eyes opened and closed, sharp glints of light that seemed to shatter the void flickered within.
A handsome young man holding a damaged Treasure Bead in his hand, with two green flame marks at his brow.
His cultivation level was very strong, exuding an aura reminiscent of a Heavenly Emperor.
The last person was a strikingly attractive young woman with braided pigtails; every smile and frown of hers exuded extreme charm.
