Chapter 432: A Teacher's Example, Correcting Art Style (Part 2)
Although the related gains are not yet stable, as long as they get started, with the constant development of the Daoist artifact refinement, they will soon be able to achieve large-scale production and even have more long-term plans.
Of course, such a combination would require a huge number of lower-level artifacts as "parts," which is far beyond the expectations of many old-school cultivators.
"Don't worry, as the level of refinement matures and is constantly improved and simplified, there will be corresponding simplifications," Lei Jun said. "When it reaches a large scale, the corresponding consumption for individual artifacts and treasures will also decrease."
To be precise, it is still in the experimental stage.
If the difficulty of refining individual artifacts can be further reduced, future developments will be even more beyond the imagination of the world.
"Thanks to the coordination of the Celestial Master and Longhu Mountain, a large number of heavenly resources from the Guicang, Dehai, Datong, and even Penglai, as well as the Great Han and the Northern Song Dynasty, have played a huge role," Nie Fang said with emotion.
Lei Jun said, "Currently, the communication between the current Han and the former Song Dynasty is temporarily interrupted, but it is only temporary, and it will not be long before it will resume."
Nie Fang said, "We still have some accumulated materials, and we will coordinate appropriately."
Lei Jun nodded slightly.
In front of him were the pure Yang combination artifacts that Nie Fang had brought for him to review.
At the moment, similar artifacts are still winning by quantity.
But if it continues, it may directly affect the battles of the Upper Three Heavens cultivators, especially those of higher realms.
It must be said that in the case of war, various developments are indeed relatively rapid.
Of course, there is also a lot of waste in taking detours or even going back, but overall, the development is rapid.
In this regard, as the holy land of the Daoist School of Artifact Refinement, Shushan Sect plays an important role.
And their most direct threat before this was the Shushan evil cultivators from Huangquan.
Therefore, in terms of pure Yang artifacts and treasures, they put in the most effort and naturally developed the fastest.
Lei Jun did not object to this and temporarily did not plan to publicly announce the news that Huangquan had changed hands and the Shushan sect in the underworld had been destroyed.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Luo Yuan faction of monstrous beings and the never-ending disaster they pose remain ongoing concerns at present.
The continued development of pure Yang artifacts and treasures will not be in vain.
Lei Jun had not forgotten that his senior brother, Wang Guiyuan, was burdened with the Endless.
After gaining control of Huangquan, in addition to studying and researching, Lei Jun also constantly compared and studied Huangquan and Endless.
If he could find an effective way, he might be able to help Wang Guiyuan get rid of his worries in this regard.
Nie Fang was also not opposed to the research and development of pure Yang artifacts and treasures.
Although his primary fictional adversary wasn't the wicked cultivators of Huangquan nor the creatures of Lou Yang, given that he was presently in the Tang Dynasty and receiving assistance from Tian Shifu and the Shu Mountain Sect, he didn't think twice about contributing his share to the opposition against the Anmyong In evil.
Moreover, even if his imaginary enemy was not the Youming Yin evil, the pure Yang power was still an extremely powerful force, and Nie Fang would not refuse if he had a legitimate opportunity to come into contact with and learn about it.
He was also talented, and although his first artifact-level organ puppet, Niuliu, involved very little pure Yang power, Nie Fang had already started preparing for his breakthrough to the Eighth Heaven.
He would refine his second artifact-level organ divine soldier, which already had many ingenious ideas about the pure Yang power.
Nowadays, the cultivation world of the Tang Dynasty is led by the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain, but various artifact refinement techniques and pill refinement techniques are booming.
Among them is the unorthodox Daoist School of External Elixir Artifact Refinement.
In this process, Nie Fang and the Mysterious Boundary were one of the biggest beneficiaries.
The development of the Mystic Realm has been rapid, and although it cannot be called the fourth sacred site of the Daoist School, it has become widely known and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Tang Dynasty, with numerous disciples and even beginning to branch out and form separate sects.
Nie Fang's own cultivation has also improved significantly.
Influenced by Lei Jun, the approach of the Yan Clan’s Xuanji Technique has now adopted a highly pragmatic tone.
As a result, the current boom in various artifacts and organs will naturally give feedback to the most dedicated Nie Fang.
Nie Fang's visit to the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain this time was to report to Lei Jun on the progress in various areas and also to seek his guidance.
In recent years, he has been guided by Lei Jun in many ways.
Especially in the Lei Fa.
Lei Jun's Lei Fa is so strong that it can be said to be the number one in the world in the Tang Dynasty.
Even his fellow sect members, Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang, are not as profound and extensive as him in this single field.
A very crucial point of Nie Fang seeking guidance from Lei Jun was that his ideas for Niuliu were similar to Lei Jun's research on divine abilities.
That is, within a limited time, to explode with powerful attack power and destructive power that surpasses the limitations of one's current realm.
It goes without saying that Nie Fang's imaginary enemy in this regard was Nie Zhongjie and the Ming Dynasty scholars of the same path.
When facing scholars of the Ming Dynasty, unless one's strength and realm crush the opponent, what is most taboo is to engage in a protracted battle with the opponent, giving them the opportunity to constantly accumulate the power of cultural, ink, moral, and ritual order.
The most applicable method, of course, is to explode with a powerful force beyond the opponent's expectations in the shortest time, crushing and piercing them first.
The more violent Niuliu is, the better.
The path he is currently researching is to assist the organ puppet with Lei Fa.
"The Ming Dynasty has also been changing in recent years," said Lei Jun.
Nie Fang nodded: "Master is referring to the changes in the Ming Dynasty that the junior has heard about before."
The reforms of the Ming Dynasty's first assistant, Zhou Mingzhe, are deepening.
The opponents that Nie Fang has to face are becoming more diverse and complex.
In addition to Niuliu, he also considered facing more complex situations when refining his second organ puppet.
To be precise, it is not only aimed at the Ming Dynasty.
The situation is changing rapidly, and some enemies may be common to both the Tang and Ming Dynasties.
…………………
In the meantime, amidst the vigilant Tang universe against Luo Yuan and the Bottomless, beneath the frigid, quiet, and homicidal facade of Luo Yuan, currents are churning.
Several icy abyssal seas trembled in unison.
Rolling black fog mingled with the eerie aura of the netherworld, spreading in all directions.
The summit level great devil of Lou Yuan, Marquis of Youluo Mountain, emerged from such an abyssal sea, enveloping the four corners of the underworld.
The remainder of the Great Demons residing in the Luo Abyss, all of whom ranked amongst the elite, responded uniformly, exhibiting a cautious composure.
Within Luo Yuan, there were a total of five great demons who possessed strength comparable to a Nine Heavens cultivator.
Youluo Mountain Lord.
Silvermoon Underworld Phoenix
GreatAbyssialTortoise.
Stygian Moss.
Bone Dire Dragon.
In addition to these, there used to be the Corpse Flea King.
In the past, within Luo Yuan, the Corpse Flea Monarch maintained a low profile and was merely recognized as a Great Demon of the Eight Heavens.
It stealthily made its way to the Ninth Heaven, taking part in the great war of Earthsea and occupied the body of the Wen Li tribe's deceased patriarch, Li Zhongding, but never went back to Luoyuan.
In the end, it met its demise in the Earthsea as well, slain by Great Tang's Heavenly Master, Lei Jun.
Hence, the summit great demons of Luo Yuan have eternally been a tiger, a phoenix, a tortoise, a dire dragon, and a type of moss that does not fall under the animal kingdom.
Speaking of moss, when it comes to sheer size, the Stygian Moss is undoubtedly the most substantial within the realm of Luo Yuan.
Its coverage area was vast, its form thick and heavy, like a colossal dark glacier teeming with life, not only filling an entire abyss but also spreading further to envelop the surrounding seas.
However, that did not mean it shunned interaction with outsiders.
The Bone Dire Dragon and the previous Corpse Flea King were both its important allies.
Nevertheless, when it came to the Youluo Mountain Lord, both the Stygian Moss and the Bone Dire Dragon were deeply guarded.
But now, the Youluo Mountain Lord was visiting the territory of the Stygian Moss.
The Stygian Moss was on guard, and even the Bone Dire Dragon drifted over, responding to its presence in a distant manner.
The two sides seemed to be on the brink of an intense battle.
The other demons in the vicinity were petrified.
Far away in another abyssal sea, the auras of two other great demons were stirring, those of the Silvermoon Underworld Phoenix and the GreatAbyssialTortoise.
They were loners by nature, but at this moment, they too were paying attention to the intense changes in Luo Abyss.
However, the battle that was erupting in the territory of the Stygian Moss was merely a cover for the true purpose of this gathering.
Whether it was the Youluo Mountain Lord, the Stygian Moss, or the Bone Dire Dragon, all three were calm and collected.
And in the territory of the Stygian Moss, there was also a young Daoist.
A disciple of the Old Ancestor of the Zhou, a successor of the Kunlun Yu Yu Heaven, Mu Weizi.
"Are you an heir of the Celestial Palace?"
The Youluo Mountain Lord gazed at Mu Weizi amidst the raging battle.
"My master and I, by chance, obtained a portion of the legacy and teachings of the Celestial Palace."
Mu Weizi didn’t reveal the whole truth to these formidable demons of Lou Yuan, but he knew how to target their vulnerabilities: “I have come here today with the intention of seeking your help in uncovering more relics of the Celestial Palace.”
The Stygian Moss spoke, its voice sounding like countless voices speaking in unison: "The Corpse Flea back then was aided by Daoist Mu Weizi and his master, allowing it to improve its cultivation."
"What is it that you hope to gain from Luo Yuan?" asked the Master of Youluo Mountain.
"Help will be required, not merely from all of you, but additionally... help from Luo Yuan."
"The three of us alone are insufficient for that."
"First of all, the three of you will witness the sincerity of my master and me. Secondly, if any of you have requests, my master and I can also lend a hand... in persuading the other two."
Indeed, regardless of their previous cooperation with the Stygian Moss and the Bone Dire Dragon, and despite their current cautiousness towards the Youluo Mountain Lord, none of them would readily wish for the Old Ancestor of the Zhou to truly step into Luo Yuan.
The Old Ancestor of the Zhou himself did not wish to create unnecessary trouble at this point in time.
"We can have a proper talk now." The Youluo Mountain Lord's tone was cold and indifferent, making it hard to discern his emotional leanings.
The Bone Dire Dragon remained by the sidelines, silent as if it had nothing to do with any of this.
But the flickering gaze within the skull of dragon bones betrayed its attention, shifting between the Youluo Mountain Lord and Mu Weizi.
At the same time, it was communicating with another.
"He does seem to be related to the Celestial Palace." Chen Yi's voice was calm.
Ever since Mu Weizi's arrival, he had felt his Pure Golden Hall within his soul trembling slightly.
By now, Chen Yi had gained a deeper understanding of that hall: "However, it's hard to say how deep his connection with the Celestial Palace runs. His words cannot be taken at face value."
"That goes without saying."
The Bone Dire Dragon and the Stygian Moss could sense something else from Chen Yi as well.
One, an existence that made their hearts pound, reminding them of some bone-chilling memories from the past.
Before the situation was clear, they would not dare to make a move against Chen Yi, and might even offer him assistance.
At the same time, they would also gain some benefits from him.
Their current interactions with Mu Weizi were of a similar nature.
Everyone was out for their own interests, but first and foremost, the Bone Dire Dragon and the Stygian Moss wanted to obtain what they desired.
The Youluo Mountain Lord was likely of the same mind.
Mu Weizi, how could he be an exception?
He had vaguely sensed the presence of Chen Yi and confirmed that he was related to their old associates of the Celestial Palace.
However, he was not yet certain whether Chen Yi was of the same faction as them or of the rebellious faction from back then.
The fact that Chen Yi was under the care of the Stygian Moss and the Bone Dire Dragon made it more likely that he was of the same faction as them.
But even among those of the same faction, there were differences.
The Old Ancestor of the Zhou did not wish to create unnecessary trouble at this point in time, so as long as the Celestial Palace was concerned, Mu Weizi would not make a move against Chen Yi either.
But he would keep an eye on him.
There would be opportunities in the future.
Just as he had orchestrated the current situation in Luo Yuan through decades of meticulous planning.
The Bone Dire Dragon and the Stygian Moss finally made substantive contact with the Youluo Mountain Lord after a long while.
With that, three out of the five major demons from Luo Yuan were in agreement.
As for the remaining Silvermoon Underworld Phoenix and GreatAbyssialTortoise, they were loners and not of the same faction.
The situation in Luo Abyss could begin to change.
