The Nine Cauldrons-Volume 5 - Chapter 580 Refining the Godly Armour

In the deepest region of the Frost Jade Pool in the Great Yan Mountain:

The demonic dragon Violet Rain was deep in slumber. The cold breath that came out from its nostrils froze the water around it, cracking it.

"Roar!"

The demonic dragon Violet Rain opened its golden eyes, which were as huge as car wheels, shocked. It could clearly feel two presences. One was the presence of the familiar Undying Phoenix. The other one was a black hole! It could not touch it or feel it, so it would naturally think that it was black hole.

The long-lived demonic dragon understood immediately that this black hole represented an Insightful Emptiness Realm expert!

"Insightful Emptiness Realm expert?" The dumbfounded demonic dragon Violet Rain disappeared in the water immediately.

In the East Flower Garden of the Xing Yi Sect at the Great Mountain Yan.

"Why is Qingshan not back yet?"

"Mother, don't worry. Dad must be dealing with something urgent."

Li Jun and her daughter were together. Obviously, she would be worried after Teng Qingshan had been gone for so long.

Suddenly—

"Roar!" an angry roar sounded. The Six Legged Bladelike Chi, which was sleeping on the pasture at the side, looked up angrily, making angry and terrified noises. It could also feel the presence of the Undying Phoenix and the "black hole". How could the Six Legged Bladelike Chi not be scared of an Insightful Emptiness Realm expert?

"Oh no!" Li Jun, who understood the Language of Beasts, had a change of facial expression.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

A red stream of light and a light ray of five colors landed in the East Flower Garden almost at the same time.

"Roar!" The Six Legged Bladelike Chi, whose eyes were filled with hostility, was shocked when it saw that the person who was the light ray of five colors was Teng Qingshan. Clearly, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi was baffled that Teng Qingshan's presence had become a "black hole."

"Haha, Bladelike Chi, what are you doing? Do you want to fight with me?" Teng Qingshan laughed as he walked there and patted the scales of Six Legged Bladelike Chi.

The Six Legged Bladelike Chi's bloodshot eyes showed a glimpse of surprise.

"Haha, you only haven't seen me for a few days and you don't recognize me anymore," said Teng Qingshan, laughing.

"Qingshan." Li Jun walked towards him.

Their son, Hongwu, opened his mouth. "Father, it has been seven days since you went to the Barbarian Tribe Temple. Mom has been worried about you every day."

"Little Jun." Teng Qingshan smiled, apologizing, "I didn't want to stay for so long either, but…"

Boom! Boom!

Two powerful presences landed in the East Flower Garden almost at the same time, scaring the maids at the far side. The enormous dragon, which had a length of over 20 Zhang, and a smaller golden dragon turtle could be seen. The demonic dragon Violet Rain and the golden dragon turtle both stared at Teng Qingshan coldly.

But soon, these two demonic beasts were both dumbfounded.

When Teng Qingshan went to the Barbarian Tribe Temple, he had instructed the two demonic beasts to help if a strong enemy approached. Therefore, when they sensed the presence of the Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert, the demonic dragon Violet Rain and the golden dragon turtle both rushed here immediately.

"Little Jun, please help me thank them," said Teng Qingshan, laughing.

"Oh." Li Jun was a bit puzzled as she gave out a few roars to the demonic dragon Violet Rain and the golden dragon turtle.

"Roar!" There was a glimpse of joy in the eyes of Violet Rain and the golden dragon turtle as they gave out roars, congratulating Teng Qingshan.

"Li Jun turned and looked at Teng Qingshan. "Qingshan, you, you reached the Insightful Emptiness Realm?"

"Insightful Emptiness Realm?" Honglin, who had been melancholy recently, shouted out in astonishment.

"He is now an Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert like the Sovereign of the Heavenly God Palace?" Hongwu's eyes enlarged. Living in a home like this, the siblings, Hongwu and Honglin, had heard a lot about the cultivation realms and the experts in the Land of Nine Prefectures. They knew clearly what the Insightful Emptiness Realm expert represented!

Before the Omnipotent Expert came into existence, the Insightful Emptiness Expert was the strongest.

"This is the good thing I acquired from the setback I experienced. I was given a cold shoulder at the Barbarian Tribe Temple, but I gained a moment of enlightenment while I was at the Undying Phoenix's home in the Desolate Land and achieved a small success in the Insightful Emptiness Realm after devoting my full attention on cultivation for a total of seven days," said Teng Qingshan, laughing. However, Li Jun, Honglin, and Hongwu did not understand the difference between entering the Insightful Emptiness Realm and achieving a small success in the Insightful Emptiness Realm.".

Even if they did not understand, they were already very impressed.

...

The fact that Teng Qingshan had become an Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert was a very joyful thing. A sect that has an Insightful Emptiness Realm expert would remain high up in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. None of the other sects would have the audacity to provoke that sect! If Huang Tianqi', who had just entered the Insightful Emptiness Realm, was only a little bit stronger than Emptiness Realm Culmination, then Teng Qingshan, who had achieved a small success in the Insightful Emptiness Realm was much stronger.

If Pei San was only concerned about Little Blue's mother that year, then now, looking at Teng Qingshan, even if Little Blue's mother did not exist, Pei San would easily provoke Teng Qingshan.

On that day, in the East Flower Garden.

The demonic dragon, the golden dragon turtle, the Undying Phoenix, and the Six Legged Bladelike Chi, together with Teng Qingshan's family, talked for a long time. The demonic dragon and the golden dragon turtle only went back in the evening.

******

By evening, the demonic dragon and the golden dragon turtle had already gone under the water beneath the ground. These two Emptiness Realm demonic beasts were the dictators of the Heavenly Flood Lake.

"Roar!"

"Roar! Roar!"

The demonic dragon Violet Rain and the golden dragon turtle exchanged roars, communicating. Clearly, Violet Rain was very happy.

In the beginning, it was through the recommendation of the golden dragon turtle that Teng Qingshan could visit the demonic dragon Violet Rain. Violet Rain itself only started treating Teng Qingshan differently after it had heard the legendary stories of Teng Qingshan. Teng Qingsahn was known to be the prodigy who stepped into the Emptiness Realm at the age of 21. With this in mind, the demonic dragon Violet Rain felt that it was very likely for Teng Qingshan to become an Omnipotent Expert. Therefore, Violet Rain's attitude towards Teng Qingshan became extremely pleasant.

It must be known that in this world, there were only two demonic beasts that were better than the demonic dragon Violet Rain. The first demonic beast would be the Honorable Bear while the second demonic beast would be the Undying Phoenix.

The Honorable Bear of the Emperor Yu's Hall was the demonic beast that had followed the Omnipotent Expert Emperor Yu and received advice and teachings from Emperor Yu.

The Undying Phoenix had followed the Omnipotent Li Taibai and was taught by Li Taibai. The demonic dragon Violet Rain might be slightly less talented than the Undying Phoenix, but its talent and natural aptitude were definitely on par with the Honorable Bear. However, it was still weaker than both the Undying Phoenix and the Honorable Bear because its cultivation was not taught by an Omnipotent Expert. Instead, it had pondered and learned the cultivation methods by itself.

This time, the Demonic Dragon Violet Rain was betting on Teng Qingshan, believing that this amazing fellow might succeed.

Just as expected, twenty years after creating his own sect, Teng Qingshan had already entered the Insightful Emptiness Realm! Even the demonic dragon Violet Rain, who had lived for a long time and seen countless experts, was impressed. Maybe this human, Teng Qingshan, whom the Violet Rain thought highly of, could really step into the Omnipotent Realm.

Of course….

This was only a possibility. It had been more than 2,000 years since the fourth Omnipotent Expert Martial Ancestor Shakya appeared. There had been people who managed to reach the Insightful Emptiness Realm. However, there was not even one Omnipotent Expert had appeared since then.

It was really too difficult to become an Omnipotent Expert.

...

Night came.

"Qingshan, what's wrong?" asked Li Jun. She could see that something was wrong from Teng Qingshan's expression as they were talking in the pavilion after dinner.

"Just now, I tried to insert my Power of the World into the Hong Tian Godly Armor, but the power within the Hong Tian Godly Armor rejected my Power of the World." Teng Qingshan laughed bitterly as he shook his head. "Now, I finally understand why Insightful Emptiness Realm experts have to refine their own Godly Armor instead of using the Godly Armor owned by other cultivators from the past.

Li Jun said after thinking, "Qingshan, the Hong Tian Godly Armor was refined by North-eastern King Hong Tian using his Power of the World. Therefore, your Power of the World was rejected."

Since I cannot insert my Power of the World into this armor, the effect of this Godly Armor will be a lot weaker." Teng Qingshan shook his head. "Since this is so, then I will not wear this Hong Tian Godly Armour. I will refine a set of my own Godly Armor."

Teng Qingshan gave an order, and the whole Xing Yi Sect spread out to the whole Land of Nine Prefectures, gathering various rare, precious ores.

The demonic dragon Violet Rain and the golden dragon turtle also helped.

Water Soft Crystal, Ten Millennia Coldsteel, Heavenly Meteorite… Various precious ores and metals that were difficult to obtain even with money were all gathered. This was the advantage of having forces all around the world. Furthermore, Teng Qingshan asked best weapon master in the Land of the Nine Prefectures, Ouye Mojiang, to forge the armor.

Having many valuable materials to choose from was the dream of a weapon master.

Teng Qingshan's father, Teng Yongfan, and his grandfather, Teng Yunlong, were so excited that they came to watch the famous weapon master forge the armor.

A whole set of armor, including the boots, arm guard, cuisse, and inner armor, was completely made and refined after eight days and seven nights. After successfully refining it, the Weapon Master Ouye Mojiang was so excited that he did not sleep for the entire day. When he finally felt tired, he slept for three days straight.

Teng Qingshan named this set of armor "Reincarnation".

"Your spear is named 'Reincarnation'. You want to name your armor 'Reincarnation' as well?" Li Jun was curious. "Qingshan, why do you want to name it 'Reincarnation'?"

"I just like the name." Teng Qingshan smiled.

Teng Qingshan did not want to tell anyone about his experiences in his past life, not even his family.

"And now, the Reincarnation Armor is only forged. Although the full suit of armor was forged with many valuable materials and even though the Emptiness Realm Expert would have to use a great deal of strength to destroy it, this full suit of armor was still only considered a weapon of the ordinary human being. In order for it to become a Godly Armor, it would need to go through a very long process of refinement with the use of the Power of the World." Teng Qingshan had taken off the Hong Tian Godly Armour and was now wearing the Reincarnation Armor.

...

During normal training and casual days, Teng Qingshan wore the Reincarnation Armor like how he wore the Hong Tian Godly Armor in the past. However, the helmet and outer armor were hardly worn. "This is why Emptiness Realm experts value the inner armor of the Godly Armor the most. It is not just because the inner armor is the most convenient to wear. The main reason is that that Insightful Emptiness Realm experts spend the longest time wearing the inner armor."

The process of refining was the time spent wearing.

"Qingshan," said Li Jun as the couple took a walk in the East Flower Garden, "the girl that Hongwu likes... her time of filial piety is ending soon. Shouldn't we…"

"Hmm?" Teng Qingshan raised his head and looked at the far side. "Brother Mu Tao, what brings you here?"

Swoosh!

A stream of light landed and turned into a person. It was the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal, Mu Tao, who had silver hair and carried a giant sword. Mu Tao was shocked at first. After looking clearly, he said, "Brother Qingshan, you, you, you already…"

"Haha, Brother, I have made a breakthrough." Teng Qingshan laughed.

"I only improved a little and reached Emptiness Realm Culmination after twenty years since coming to the Land of Nine Prefectures. But Brother Qingshan, you…" Mu Tao was proud of himself, but when he saw Teng Qingshan's improvement, he was shocked.

"Brother Mu Tao, why do you have time to come here?" asked Teng Qingshan, laughing.

"Haha, your teacher, that stubborn fool, has finally made a breakthrough. And so, now I don't have to stay there anymore." Mu Tao laughed.
