Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 1700: Origin Star Talisman Pt.2

When Shang Xia first stepped on the path of cultivation and reached the grand completion stage of the Essence Realm, he mastered palm techniques and didn’t rely on weapons. Actually... It was more appropriate to say that his hands were his weapons.

In the Yin Yang Realm, he created sword techniques, and naturally, he was able to wield sword qi to a high level of mastery.

Upon his successful entry into the Triple Command Realm, he used a spear, adhering to his family's martial lineage.

In the Four Constellation Realm, he invented the blade intent, the Four Constellation Samsara Nether Blade.

Following his advancement to the Five Element Realm, the broken divine blade was modified into the Five Element Ring that contained unique properties of the five elements.

When he finally entered the Six Direction Realm, ordinary divine weapons could no longer satisfy his requirement for weapons. He used a Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar as his weapon. Strictly speaking, the stone rod was a Holy Artifact and wasn’t an actual weapon. However, since the techniques Shang Xia created in the Six Direction Realm were rod techniques, his weapon was sufficient for the time being.

Now that Shang Xia had successfully advanced to the Seven Star Realm, the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar wasn’t really suitable any longer, especially since it remained in the Spirit Ruling World for the time being. Now, he needed a weapon that matched his level of cultivation while also being suitable for him to create his rank seven arts.

Thus, when Chu Jia reminded him, Shang Xia seriously thought for a moment before turning to her with a serious look. “Do you have any good suggestions for the choice of weapon?”

Chu Jia sighed lightly, feeling a bit drained. However, she still suggested, "In previous battles, you've used a technique where you condense a weapon projection from your inner qi. It seemed somewhat similar to a mace... Why not forge it with the spiritual materials after the refinement process is over?”

Shang Xia immediately clapped his hands and laughed, "That's exactly what I was thinking!"

The weapon Shang Xia would use in the Seven Star Realm was thus casually decided during their conversation.

Of course, a weapon potentially used by a Sage couldn't be made hastily, even if it was just a prototype. Even an artifact embryo that would be created would take several days of refinement before all the light in the void caused by their actions would die down.

"So, this should be enough to verify the feasibility of combining the Variant Formation Talisman runes into a rank seven talisman. What do you plan to do next? Are you going to continue practicing? Or are you going to try to embroider them into the Star Origin Lord Robe?” Chu Jia noticed that Shang Xia often fell into contemplation as the placement of the runes on the meteorite was about to be completed, indicating he had probably made a decision.

Caught off-guard by her question, Shang Xia smiled and explained, "Actually, when we were certain the combination of the runes would work, I hadn’t been thinking about it any longer. Rather, I’ve been thinking about creating my rank seven martial arts.”

Chu Jia's eyes lit up, asking in excitement, "Have you already built a framework for your Seven Star Realm martial arts?"

Shang Xia quickly waved his hand. "It's not that simple. But at least now I have some idea, I’m no longer as completely clueless as before."

Chu Jia wasn't disappointed by his revelation. She was very familiar with Shang Xia's martial arts trajectory and understood that creating martial arts techniques for each realm wasn’t easy..

In the Four Constellation Realm, Five Element Realm, and Six Direction Realm, Shang Xia’s martial arts got more and more complex. They required years to develop a relatively perfect unique legacy.

It had barely been more than a year since Shang Xia reached the Seven Star Realm. Rank seven arts would naturally be more difficult to come up with than in previous realms. Capturing inspiration for his martial arts while perfecting the rank seven talisman combination was already quite remarkable.

Chu Jia thought for a moment and muttered a little helplessly, "Alright, I don't know whether you'll be able to create the rank seven talisman, perfect the Star Origin Lord Robe, or come up with your rank seven martial arts...” She added somewhat unwillingly, “Shouldn’t you come up with a name for your rank seven talisman first?”

Shang Xia nodded in agreement, "I hadn't thought of that. Do you have any ideas?"

Chu Jia, clearly having thought this through for a long time, quickly suggested, "How about calling it the Origin Star Talisman?"

Clearly, during their time setting up the formation together, Chu Jia had learned a lot about the Seven Star Realm from Shang Xia.

Shang Xiaraised an eyebrow but agreed enthusiastically, "That's a great name, fitting indeed. Let's settle on that!"

As days passed, the orb of light visible across the celestial barrier, regardless of day or night, continued to shrink. However, despite it growing smaller, the light it emitted grew increasingly intense.

During the process, the meteorite and all the spiritual materials it contained were refined by the Power of the Stars. When they carved the runes back then, Shang Xia and Chu Jia infused some Starlight Essence into them. Shang Xia also poured his Seven Star Qi produced by his Big Dipper Star Origin into the meteorite.

"This is no longer just pure meteorite essence," Chu Jia, seemingly addicted to coming up with names, pointed at the spiritually enriched material enveloped by the rich Power of the Stars and asked, "What do you think we should call this? Star Iron? Origin Star Iron? Star Meteorite...? After all, it's fused with so much Power of the Stars!"

Shang Xia, while maintaining the infusion of his Seven Star Qi and keenly sensing the changes within the refined metal, he eventually sent a trace of his soul into it. At the same time, he spared a moment to respond to Chu Jia's question, "Whatever this material is eventually called doesn't matter. Call it what you like! But when this weapon is finally forged, I already have a very suitable name for it."

Chu Jia eagerly asked, "What is it?"

"How about the Seven Star Mace? What do you think?" Shang Xia grinned.
