Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 764 - 479: New Type_2

Chapter 764 -479: New Type_2

One superior-grade Immortal Artifact, twelve low-grade Immortal Artifacts, plus one hundred and eighty thousand Spiritual Treasures, and five billion four hundred million Magical Treasures.

What kind of magnitude is this for?

White Jade Capital!

As the premier Immortal Spirit Mech Armor of the Wandao School, White Jade Capital had reached the level of hundreds of millions of implements at the time of its creation, with the lower-level Immortal Spirit Rank Five Elements True Spirit Map as its core, and hundreds of millions of Five Elements Magical Instruments as its components.

Thereafter, as the Wandao School developed and the Heavenly Mechanics Methods continuously broke through, White Jade Capital also underwent constant updates and upgrades, enhancing its Quality Rank and growing its artifacts level. By the time the academy established its path in the Earth Immortal Realm, it had reached the realm of the seventh rank top-tier Immortal Spirit and could, in theory, command the core of superior-grade Immortal Artifacts to govern the components of hundreds of millions of Magical Treasures.

But this was only during the time of establishing the path in the Earth Immortal Realm; after the path was successfully established, Wandao School occupied South Observance and reached a cooperation agreement with the Eastern Victory Heavenly Court for mutual benefit and joint development. The upper and lower worlds passed thousands and thousands of years.

...

As tens of thousands of years elapsed and time accumulated, although Wandao School had not broken through the Heavenly Mechanics Methods to the eighth order, it made no small advancements; it perfected the various details of seventh order craftsmanship and so further improved the artifacts level, magnitude, combat power, and might of the top-grade Immortal Spirit Mech Armor.

As the first Immortal Spirit Mech Armor of Wandao School, White Jade Capital has always been at the forefront of the Heavenly Mechanics Methods technology, and this time was no exception. Under the leadership of Xu Yang, the Wandao School had already designed the latest model of the mech blueprint for White Jade Capital.

With the superior-grade Immortal Artifact “Li Ground Flame Light Banner” as the core, it consists of sixty Five Elements-related banners, twelve each of Taibai Luminous Sun Flag, Green Lotus Creation Flag, Prime Elemental Profound Water Flag, All-Heaven Fierce Fire Flag, and Universe Anchoring Star Flag as the main framework, one hundred and eighty thousand Five Elements Spiritual Treasures as the network nodes, and fifty-four Magical Treasures as the array’s foundational stones…

Such a magnitude of Immortal Spirit Mech Armor is the latest model of White Jade Capital, fully in line with the original design concept of “Heavenly Palace Immortal City” at the time of creation.

However, Xu Yang has far too many resources for such a magnitude of Immortal Spirit Mech Armor, especially the five billion four hundred million Magical Treasure components, which the Dao Law Divine Martial Dual Realms simply cannot support. It is only the Earth Immortal Realm that is struggling to construct it.

As things stand, it is the “Azure Star Realm” that has come from behind, taking the initiative to build the latest model of White Jade Capital.

This was all thanks to his strategy of “resource extraction,” ruthlessly exploiting the Heavenly Mechanics Methods and various Supernatural Secret Techniques, compelling those Dongtian Xianshen and Calamity Realm Immortals and Gods to bleed and cut flesh, funding this potentially dangerous enemy.

This is something even the Earth Immortal Realm could not do. After all, there are no Demon Catastrophes threatening the Earth Immortal Realm, and without the challenges of worldly engagement, this resulted in a more peaceful development approach for the Wandao School that did not drive such a massive “armament race” to compel the various factions to dive into the intense tide of internal competition.

But the “Azure Star Realm” is different; owing to the pressure of the invasion from the Desire Realm, Xu Yang and the development strategy of the Wandao School had to be extreme, dragging the entire world and all the major Cave Heaven Secret Realms into an arms race and military escalation, in order to profit from and improve themselves, preparing for the unpredictable arrival of the Demon Catastrophe.

Competition is inevitable!

Better to struggle now and compete now than to have no power to resist when the Desire Realm approaches and the Demon Catastrophe wreaks havoc in the future.

Adhering to this philosophy, Xu Yang decisively started the competition, energetically harvesting the leeks of those Dongtian Immortal Gods with his scythe.

These Cave Heaven Secret Realms and Calamity Realm Immortals and Gods did not disappoint him; shortly after releasing Heavenly Mechanics Methods and various Great Divine Powers, they contributed a large number of resources to him, directly satisfying the construction needs of “White Jade Capital.”

With sufficient resources, what was lacking was manpower. After all, the Wandao School in this world had only been developed for a little over five hundred years. Though its foundation was strong, it had a limited time to produce limited results. To transform these resources into tangible outcomes would likely take a long stretch of time.

But Xu Yang was unconcerned and instead took this challenge as an opportunity to entrust it to the academy disciples.

The five divisions, each with its task, were to refine twelve low-grade Immortal Artifacts, thirty-six thousand Spiritual Treasures, and one billion eight hundred million Magical Treasures.

As for Spiritual Treasures and Magical Treasures, there was no need to worry, as the school had plenty of Fourth Rank and Fifth Rank Artificers—in the presence of adequate materials and time, they would surely complete the tasks without much loss.

However, Immortal Artifacts were a different story; though the Five Elements Immortal Banners were only low-grade Immortal Artifacts and in theory, Fifth Rank Artificers could refine them, that was merely in theory, and the actual operation was not so simple.

Xu Yang entrusted these tasks to the disciples of the five courts. There would inevitably be many failures, leading to considerable waste.

But he was not concerned.

How could there be success without failure?

How could novices turn into veterans or beginners into Grandmasters without being given opportunities or trials?

The Hundred Arts of Cultivation and the Grandmaster craftsmen are all “fed” with resources. Although teaching is also effective, without hands-on experience, a true Grandmaster cannot be taught even in ten thousand years.

Therefore, this Artifact Refining task was a rare opportunity for the disciples of the five courts; it could greatly enhance their Artifact Refining level and indirectly boost their cultivation. A hundred years later, they will have transformed and advanced even further.

Compared to that, the losses were negligible; Xu Yang was no miser, plus wealth is not something that can be accumulated by hoarding—it had to be earned and harvested with a scythe!

Using others’ fortunes to build one’s own foundation, what’s there to pity? It’s more a cause for celebration.

…

With the Five Elements Immortal Banners refined, the disciples of the Five Courts received their orders and departed. Xu Yang had the Garuda Generals with Mahayana Cultivations cast into several alchemy cauldrons, providing them to the Academy Disciples for use as the slightly inferior Nine Dragons Earth Fire Furnace.

Though it was of inferior quality, it still had a Seventh Rank. It was more than sufficient to refine Low-Grade Immortal Artifacts of the Fifth Rank or Spiritual Treasures and Magical Treasures of the Fourth and Third Ranks. It could effectively reduce the failure rate and cut down on material costs.

Even if it was gained by harvesting a “crop of leeks,” one should cherish it once in their own hands. Spend where you must and save where you can—such is the law of business and the way of managing a household.

After receiving their orders, the Academy Disciples withdrew, leaving the vast chamber empty. Xu Yang sat alone before the Nine Dragons Earth Fire Furnace, casting various high-order spiritual objects related to the Five Elements into it.

The Li Ground Flame Light Banner was a Superior Immortal Artifact whose essence was even of Immortal Treasure class, one of the “Innate Five Directions Banner” from the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm of the Earth Immortal Realm. It was created by Calamity Realm Immortals and Gods who entered to observe and understand its mysteries before enhancing and innovating upon it, resulting in the current Li Ground Flame Light Banner that circulates in the Earth Immortal Realm.

Basically, it was just a lower quality version.

But even the inferior version of an Immortal Treasure was never to be considered poor quality.

In recent years, Xu Yang, during his hard cultivation throughout the Dao Law, Earth Immortal, and Divine Martial realms, had thoroughly mastered the refining method of the Li Ground Flame Light Banner. With a series of skill characteristics to bolster him, he could be said to be exceedingly confident.

First, he cast in auxiliary materials, purifying essences of the Five Elements, then a wisp of dark light was thrown into the furnace.

“What is that…”

Within the furnace, Weide’s pupils shrank, eyeing the dark light as a mix of shock, anger, and despair flooded him simultaneously.

Encased in the dark light was an object of square shape, wholly black and lusterless.

This was the heart of the Garuda Tree!

Garuda, Golden Winged Bird, Giant Iron Wood, Gluttonous Dragon.

This wood was in fact from a Garuda Tree, the splendid Garuda Tree that soared into the clouds, reaching a height of tens of thousands of feet, including the Golden Palace Temple on its branches, all of which were Eighth Rank Divine Objects and the most important assets of him, the Garuda King.

But now…

Looking at the heart of the tree, akin to black iron, Weide felt as if his own heart had been gouged out.

What does it mean to wound the soul?

This is wounding the soul!

How can someone be so malicious!

Weide, with tears streaming down his face and furious beating of his wings, transformed all the hatred in his heart into the Pure Azure Glazed Flame that he breathed out.

Sitting outside the furnace, Xu Yang couldn’t care less about him, as he struck out seal after seal, summoned thunder and lightning, and cast both into the furnace, creating a combination of Heavenly Thunder Earthly Fire to refine the heart of the Giant Iron Wood.

Whether it’s Alchemy or Artifact Refining, both are extremely draining on one’s mind and time-consuming, the higher the quality, the more so. Some Refinement Grandmasters spend their whole lives creating only a few Immortal Artifacts because those few items consume countless years of their painstaking efforts and thousands of years of their lifespan.

But Xu Yang was not among them. As a Seventh Rank Artifact Refining Immortal Master, and with a series of skill characteristics bolstering him, his Artifact Refining efficiency can only be described in two words:

Abnormal!

For a Low-Grade Immortal Artifact like the All-Heaven Fierce Fire Banner, he only needed forty-nine days to complete it, and for Medium-Grade Immortal Artifacts, it took just a few to a dozen years.

The Li Ground Flame Light Banner, being a Superior Immortal Artifact, and with his goal for perfection without flaws or gaps, should take him a hundred years.

Therefore, this was set to be his longest “live broadcast” since he made his debut.
