Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 244 - 133: Adding Divine Weapon Technique, Fu Shizheng’s Assassination_2
From the initial refining of the embryonic form, after a certain period of tempering, the materials undergo certain changes. At this moment, although it does not possess power, the durability has already surpassed the original material itself. This stage can be called a Demigod Soldier.
The fist-sized stick of the White Ape Demon Monarch can be considered a Demigod Soldier.
For example, his Profound Yellow Tripod still belongs to the embryonic form level.
After the Demigod Soldier stage, continued tempering imprints will power, and the Divine Soldier can amplify attacks, reaching the stage of Elementary Divine Soldiers.
Wei Fan’s Yellow Dragon Spear and Situ Feng’s sword are both considered Elementary Divine Soldiers; above them are Middle-Level Divine Soldiers, Advanced Divine Soldiers, and Top-Level Divine Soldiers. The Eagle Sword belongs to Middle-Level Divine Soldiers.
The growth speed of a Divine Soldier mainly depends on the refining materials and the realm of the person tempering it.
Generally speaking, even a Divine Soldier refined entirely from top-notch materials can, within the lifespan of a Divine Realm Martial Sect of three hundred years, at most become an Advanced Divine Soldier. Very few can temper a Top-Level Divine Soldier within the Divine Realm.
This is why many pursue good materials. Though the growth of a Divine Soldier has no upper limit, a person’s time is limited.
"The ultimate materials inside can be extracted!"
Wei Fan retracted the Demigod Soldier from the White Ape Demon Monarch.
According to the Divine Weapon Technique’s explanation, the more abundant the divinity in the materials, the better they withstand high temperatures. As long as there is a sufficiently high-temperature flame, poor materials can be burned away, leaving only the ultimate materials.
In terms of high temperature, what flame can compare to the True Sun Fire?
Wei Fan stepped out of the camp, walked into the air, and landed on a mountain peak, releasing the Great Leiyin Bell, controlling the Three-legged Golden Crow to emit True Sun Fire.
After a tea’s time, the Demigod Soldier of the White Ape Demon Monarch was reduced to a fist-sized dazzling liquid, emanating a staggering divinity.
"It’s actually made of multiple top-notch materials!"
He quickly controlled the Three-legged Golden Crow to stop the fire, for the True Sun Fire could even destroy real Divine Soldiers; continuing would waste these ultimate materials.
With the Great Leiyin Bell put away, Wei Fan took out Tiger Soul Red Gold, Qilin Black Gold, and Profound Iron and Pure Gold.
According to the Divine Weapon Technique’s Heart Method, True Power is converted into purple flame. After a quarter hour, the Divine Weapon Embryo is refined.
"Let’s call it the Tiger Soul Saber!"
Wei Fan felt he was somewhat wasteful in naming, unwilling to choose something mighty and formidable, so he randomly picked a material name for the saber.
Returning to the military camp after dinner, the sky was already dark and Long Xueyi and Situ Feng had not appeared yet.
"Begin tempering!"
Wei Fan was quite looking forward to the Divine Weapon Embryo entirely crafted from top-level materials.
Although he already had the Yellow Dragon Spear, it wasn’t of the same path, and such others’ Divine Soldiers have reached their growth limit.
Holding the Tiger Soul Saber in hand, the panel began to flicker:
[With a year’s power, you broke into the Divine Realm, eagerly crafting the Divine Weapon Embryo Tiger Soul Saber. You operated the Divine Weapon Technique’s Heart Method, using True Power to temper, nurturing with Heart Spirit, engaging will power, and the Tiger Soul Saber slowly began to transform.]
...
Wei Fan infused all his True Power and Heart Spirit into the Tiger Soul Saber. Visibly, the embryonic form started to become lustrous and solid, and wisps of smoke-like impurities rose from the saber, dissipating.
As time passed, the Tiger Soul Saber became sharper, exuding a murderous aura.
The originally somewhat gray-black blade began to align with the color of Wei Fan’s True Power.
"Psshh..."
Finally, a sharp Sword Aura emitted from the blade, causing the entire blade to vibrate with a terrifying pulse.
[With three hundred years of power, under your devoted tempering, the Tiger Soul Saber became an Elementary Divine Soldier]
It became an Elementary Divine Soldier.
At this moment, the Tiger Soul Saber’s divine power was awe-inspiring, its light and Sword Aura interwoven, exuding bone-chilling coldness.
Although it took three hundred years of power due to low cultivation, this meant nothing to Wei Fan.
He didn’t stop, continuing to pour power into the Divine Weapon Technique. An Elementary Divine Soldier’s power was only comparable to the Yellow Dragon Spear, still insufficient.
The pulsation on the blade grew more terrifying, and the murderous aura became more abundant.
Finally, the Tiger Soul Saber underwent another violent vibration.
[With three thousand years of power, under the infiltration and engagement of your will power, the Tiger Soul Saber’s divinity surged, its Sword Intent spontaneously emerging, becoming a Middle-Level Divine Soldier]
[Tiger Soul Saber (Middle-Level Divine Soldier)]
[Ordinary Power: 61,000 years]
[Spirit Soul Power: 10 years]
Wei Fan stopped; three thousand years of power were enough for a Middle-Level Divine Soldier. Situ Feng used a Middle-Level Divine Soldier to subdue formidable adversaries like the Black Python Demon Lord.
He had just entered Divine Realm, and his will power was insufficient; to create a single Advanced Divine Soldier would at least require ten thousand years of power.
A Middle-Level Divine Soldier was sufficient for now. Tempering it later when strength is improved will save considerable power.
He stored the Tiger Soul Saber into the Storage Gourd.
Even a Middle-Level Divine Soldier couldn’t be stored in the body; only Top Divine Soldiers, like the Great Leiyin Bell, could be stored in the body, nurtured by the Divine Soul at all times.
Wei Fan began to attempt adding Spirit Soul, initially adding a year of Spirit Soul power.
[With a year of Spirit Soul power, your Divine Soul expanded, and the Sea of Consciousness expanded by a zhang.]
[Divine Soul (Sea of Consciousness 102 zhang)]
[Spirit Soul Power: 9 years]
Wei Fan’s eyes lit up.
Spirit Soul power was surprisingly simplistic and forceful; it didn’t require adding any Martial Arts, directly enhancing Spirit Soul cultivation.
He immersed his consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness, watching it vibrate and expand, his Divine Soul becoming yet deeper and more solid.
Divine Realm cultivation primarily involved tempering Divine Soldiers, refining the body, and mostly the Divine Soul.
The hallmark of Divine Realm cultivation is the width of the Sea of Consciousness.
Three hundred zhang Sea of Consciousness marks the Mid-Divine Realm.
Six hundred zhang signifies Late Divine Realm.
Nine hundred zhang achieves Divine Realm cultivation to Perfection.
Without hesitation, Wei Fan quickly used up the remaining nine years of Spirit Soul power, expanding the Sea of Consciousness to one hundred eleven zhang.
In a brief moment, his Divine Soul cultivation increased by one-tenth, enhancing the range of his will power and Heart Spirit coverage by one-tenth as well.
He spent the night in cultivation.
By the next day, Long Xueyi and Situ Feng appeared.
Situ Feng still looked a bit weak, but his aura had stabilized.
With his appearance, Wei Fan was no longer needed there; Situ Feng, as the Commander, would be responsible for the subsequent defense.
Of course, Wei Fan and Long Xueyi still had tasks.
From Cyan Cloud Mountain, collected Secret Manuals, materials, and more needed to be escorted back to Su City.
Moreover, due to the incident at Cyan Cloud City, most personnel were transferred over, resulting in chaos in Su City that required experts to preside.
By noon, the convoy was ready, with some Demon Suppression Guards and soldiers returning to Su City.
"Set out!"
With Chen Qiming’s command, the troops moved.
He also needed to return to defend Su City, for Wei Fan and Long Xueyi, though powerful Demon Hunters, could only manage the big picture with his leadership as the Demon Suppression Assistant General.
"Mount up!"
Long Xueyi was first to leap onto horseback.
Wei Fan tapped the gourd at his waist, and the Yellow Dragon Spear appeared in his hand as he leaped onto horseback.
Just missing a set of armor, he indeed looked like a great general leading troops.
"Why bring out your weapon when there’s no combat?"
Zhang Xianlong looked over, puzzled.
He noticed Wei Fan not only took out his weapon but seemed to infuse it with True Power, as if ready for battle at any moment.
"I’m tempering a Divine Soldier!"
Wei Fan casually responded, riding ahead.
He glanced back at the formidable procession, three to four thousand strong, including Demon Suppression Guards and regular soldiers.
Among them were numerous fallen soldiers’ bodies, including the previously unmentioned He Tai Xian, now disclosed.
A latent murderous intent surged in Wei Fan’s eyes as he saw the mourning Li Chuyang, the red-eyed Su Xuerong, and the solemn Li Fengyi and Situ Ying.
"He’s trying to lure out Fu Shizheng!"
Long Xueyi cast a glance at the Yellow Dragon Spear, instantly tensing her Heart Spirit, realizing Wei Fan’s response to Zhang Xianlong was perfunctory.
Although Su City leveled Cyan Cloud City, casualties were significant.
The true culprit being Fu Shizheng; if he had not betrayed, assassinating He Tai Xian, fewer casualties would have ensued.
Time passed, and on the first day, Fu Shizheng did not appear.
On the second day, the troops arrived at a flat area, where a gray-clad middle-aged man leisurely emerged from the nearby forest.
With hands behind his back, he strolled toward the convoy as if on a leisurely walk.
Countless expressions changed, as Chen Qiming shouted, "Fu Shizheng, dare you appear?"
