The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 2122 - 2111: The Four Domains! Going in Just to Die?

Chapter 2122: Chapter 2111: The Four Domains! Going in Just to Die?

In Spirit Artifact City.

Many cultivators were rushing towards the headquarters of the Artifact Refinement Pavilion.

The closer they got to the headquarters, the higher the temperature became, and the ground vibrated more rapidly.

The hot and powerful aura scattered in every direction made the approaching cultivators frown deeply. Even those with weaker strength showed signs of scorched skin, and they hadn’t yet fully reached the pavilion’s headquarters!

The massive Vermilion Bird shadow soaring into the sky let out sharp cries from its throat, and its frantic struggles were in vain, ultimately getting dragged down by the vast white energy net.

When Ye Chenfeng, Mu Yunliang, Murong Suyu, and others arrived at the headquarters of the Artifact Refinement Pavilion.

The area in front of the pavilion’s headquarters was rather spacious, with everyone standing a distance away from the pavilion.

The entire headquarters of the Artifact Refinement Pavilion was engulfed in a crimson flame.

Xue Wanqing, Yun Rong, and others standing beside Ye Chenfeng were preoccupied with what had happened in the Death Arena. They couldn’t believe Ye Chenfeng had grievances with the ancestor of Xiao Yao Palace, one of the top three forces in the Central Continent!

Nonetheless, there was nothing they could do about it. No matter which sect Ye Chenfeng provoked, they would face it together with him.

Previously leaving the Death Arena ahead, Jin Zhiteng, Hua Changsheng, and Luo Qibai were also among the crowd.

Jin Zhiteng was chatting with an elder from the Artifact Refinement Pavilion. It turned out that Jin Zhiteng was also an Artifact Refiner, the disciple of the Pavilion Master at the headquarters, with a refinement standard at the Fifth-Rank.

Powerful Divine King Realm experts were present in the surroundings.

Mu Yunliang, familiar with the surroundings, began asking around, and through their narrative, Ye Chenfeng managed to understand the situation.

Apparently, for unknown reasons, the artifact spirit, Vermilion Bird, long imprisoned within the pavilion, began to riot. Even the pavilion’s ancestor and four Pavilion Masters failed in suppressing it, leading to the immediate evacuation of personnel inside. The ancestor and the Pavilion Masters, determined to prevent the spirit’s escape, chose to stay inside, trying to subdue it.

But unfortunately, the artifact spirit Vermilion Bird had accumulated too much power, trapping the ancestor and four Pavilion Masters inside the headquarters with no way out.

When the changes at the headquarters of the Artifact Refinement Pavilion occurred, Divine King Realm experts from Spirit Artifact City arrived first.

However, the Vermilion Bird’s flames repelled everything, making it impossible even for Divine King Realm experts to force their way inside.

Nonetheless, as an artifact spirit, the Vermilion Bird’s flames did not repel Artifact Refiners. These flames seemed capable of discerning who was a refiner.

Despite this, the Artifact Refiners inside the pavilion’s headquarters dared not venture recklessly. Although they were not repelled by the flames, they couldn’t withstand the temperature. Even a prolonged stay inside would incinerate Earth God Realm experts to ashes.

Luckily, the materials used to build the headquarters were exceptionally unique; the entire pavilion won’t be quickly burned down by the crimson flames.

Feeling the rising temperatures, a cultivator near Ye Chenfeng shook his head and said, "This time, the headquarters of the Artifact Refinement Pavilion seems doomed. It’s a pity for the artifact domain inside the pavilion. The top three in the Artifact Refiners’ competition could enter the domain, and if the pavilion is destroyed, the domain will vanish as well."

Artifact domain?

Perplexed, Ye Chenfeng turned his gaze to Yun Rong, as he had only heard about the talisman domain.

Yun Rong began explaining quietly to Ye Chenfeng.

It turned out the four main pavilions—Alchemy Pavilion, Artifact Refinement Pavilion, Talisman Master Pavilion, and Array Magic Pavilion—each contained a domain.

Alchemy Pavilion contained the medicine domain.

Artifact Refinement Pavilion contained the artifact domain.

Talisman Master Pavilion contained the talisman domain.

Array Magic Pavilion contained the formation domain.

These four domains shared similar efficacy, accessible only to those under a certain age limit during their opening. This time, coinciding with the start of the four domains, the Four Masters rivalry was temporarily included in the Celestial Mystery Festival.

Anyone entering these domains would experience rapid advancements in alchemy, artifact refinement, talisman mastery, and formation expertise. Previously, Ye Chenfeng hadn’t learned about these matters, possibly due to Yun Rong and others assuming he knew, as they hadn’t explained proactively.

Learning about the four domains intrigued Ye Chenfeng greatly. Excluding the formation domain, the other three had significant allure, compelling him to explore them.

Should the artifact domain within the pavilion be lost, it would truly be regrettable.

As Ye Chenfeng pondered these thoughts.

Old Black Jiang Yuntian’s voice called out, "Kid, if Old White and I aren’t mistaken, this Vermilion Bird artifact spirit originates from an ancient initial celestial artifact."

Artifact spirits aren’t born within all weapons, and even most celestial artifacts won’t birth artifact spirits. Once born, the weapon’s destructive power dramatically increases.

Thus, most celestial artifacts merely develop sentience, attuning with the holder’s soul, without generating true artifact spirits. All celestial artifacts containing artifact spirits are considered peerless celestial artifacts.

Pausing, Old Black Jiang Yuntian continued, "In the initial Ancient Era, there was a celestial artifact known as the Flaming Sparrow Celestial Blade. This Vermilion Bird should be the artifact spirit of that blade."

"Reportedly, during the initial Ancient Era, the wielder of the Flaming Sparrow Celestial Blade swept across numerous same-level or considerably stronger opponents. Eventually, the blade mysteriously fractured, and its Vermilion Bird spirit vanished—the historical records aren’t very detailed."

"It seems by chance the Vermilion Bird artifact spirit ended up in the pavilion. The spirit should reside within a weapon, but the pavilion lacked the capability to subdue it."

"Kid, interested in subduing the Vermilion Bird spirit? It could be significantly beneficial to you in the future."

"However, the only true celestial artifact you possess currently is the Coffin of Death. The dark celestial artifact isn’t suitable for the Vermilion Bird spirit to reside in. Among your weapons, only the Flame Meteor sword shares attributes with the Vermilion Bird spirit, and the sword’s materials can forge celestial artifacts. Although the Flame Meteor sword hasn’t reached celestial standards yet, placing the Vermilion Bird spirit within should suffice."

"Once the Vermilion Bird spirit integrates into the Flame Meteor sword, its power will certainly diminish greatly. Being a celestial artifact spirit, it only manifests its true power within celestial artifacts. Without placing it within a weapon, given your current power, managing the spirit directly is impossible."

"Once you upgrade the Flame Meteor sword to celestial standards in the future, the Vermilion Bird spirit’s original power will be restored."

"So, kid, want to give it a try?"

Gazing at the blazing flames before him, Ye Chenfeng indeed desired the Vermilion Bird spirit. Subduing it meant no one else could acquire it.

Surveying the people around engaged in debate, Ye Chenfeng said to Xue Wanqing, Mu Yunliang, and others, "I’ll step away for a bit and be right back."

Xue Wanqing, Mu Yunliang, and others weren’t particularly concerned.

Ye Chenfeng slipped into a dim alley nearby the pavilion’s headquarters.

He promptly changed clothes and donned a white mask. He had made several masks from special materials before; during the Talisman Master Pavilion selection, he wore a black mask. These unique masks effectively concealed Ye Chenfeng’s appearance from even perceptive experts.

Wearing a white mask and new attire, Ye Chenfeng rejoined the crowd before the pavilion. Amidst the shock, Ye Chenfeng walked straight into the blazing flames.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng entering the pavilion.

Many felt that Ye Chenfeng’s power was at the initial stage of Divinity Transformation Realm’s sixth layer, fostering a shared thought: this person was simply heading to his death.

These flames couldn’t be endured by Earth God Realm experts for long, so what difference could someone at Divinity Transformation realm make? The person with the white mask must be an Artifact Refiner; otherwise, the Vermilion Bird spirit’s flames would have repelled him.
