Chapter 833: Chapter 519: Going to the Banquet
At Wuzhuang, before the Earth Fire Furnace, Xu Yang ignited a variety of Immortal Treasures, preparing to begin Artifact Refinement.
With a sweep of his horsetail whisk and a few hand seals, suddenly, waves appeared without wind, and light was born without fire; the once-silent Alchemy Cauldron instantly turned red-hot, displaying Yin-Yang Bagua patterns. Beneath the furnace burned a nameless fire that showed no true form, allowing only for those who understood the mysterious mechanics of Yin-Yang Harmony, Innate and Acquired to appreciate the wonderful principle of mutual generation and overcoming, ultimately forming a united refining fire.
It was none other than—Tusita True Fire!
After thousands of years and enduring hardship in cultivating Mysterious Skill, though due to his intellectual nature, he had not managed to reach the Divine Powers such as “Two Instruments Microcosm” and “One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones” like Ren Baimei, Xu Yang had not come away empty-handed; this Tusita True Fire was one of the few achievements.
As the name implies, Tusita True Fire is the orthodox transmission from the Taiqing Path and the true fire used by the doors of Tusita Palace.
However, this was merely the most elementary kind of Immortal Fire within the Taiqing lineage. Above it were still the “Two Instruments Heavenly Fire,” “Six Ding and Six Jia Divine Fire,” and other Divine Flames used by Heavenly and Earth Immortals.
…
Among them, the most famous was the “Six Ding and Six Jia Divine Fire,” reputed to be the regal flame used by the Palace Master of Taiqing of Mysterious Indus Celestial Court, where “Six Ding” represents the Yin, the fire of Acquired, and “Six Jia” represents the Yang, the fire of Innate, employing both Six Ding and Six Jia in harmony, integrating civil and military refinement, capable of transforming all matter in the world. Even Heavenly Immortals dared not withstand it.
Xu Yang neither had the cultivation nor the realm to utilize it, currently only having comprehended the initial level of Tusita True Fire.
Still, it was impressive; look at Ren Baimei, a genius blessed by heaven, who after ten thousand years of arduous cultivation, used still the same Tusita True Fire until he became a True Immortal, only then gaining a bit of confidence to delve into researching Six Ding Yin Fire, unsure of when he could integrate Yin Yang Harmony to cultivate Innate and Acquired, merging Chaos Yuan into one’s Six Ding and Six Jia Divine Fire.
Although it was the most basic level of Immortal Fire, Immortal Fire was still Immortal Fire. It was more powerful than the pure azure glass flame used by the Garuda Clan in terms of alchemic and artifact-enhancing properties. Ren Baimei’s becoming an Eighth Order Artificer Immortal Master was not without the aid of Tusita True Fire.
Now transferred to Xu Yang, it was even more adeptly handled; using Tusita fire for refining, the furnace charcoal turned red, adding one spiritual item after another, removing chaff and preserving essence, all prepared for refinement.
Previously in the Blue Star World, using the Nine Dragons Earth Fire Furnace and a Three Calamities Cultivator Garuda King as the fire-tending novice, it took a hundred years to refine just one top-quality Immortal Spirit-grade Ground-Departing Flame Light Banner, and the hard labor involved goes without saying.
This time, Xu Yang still intended to refine the Ground-Departing Flame Light Banner, yet it was not the only thing he planned to refine.
Just recently, having met with the Jade Pool Palace Master and Great Mercy Bodhisattva, he had given out the top-quality Immortal Spirit-tier Heavenly Mechanics Methods; before long, the Heavenly Court’s Buddhist Sect would be able to build top-quality Immortal Spirit Mech Armor, enhancing Calamity Immortal combat capabilities.
This was not particularly good news for the Wandao School; after all, the ability of Wandao School to establish itself in South Observance and stand as an equal in competition with the Heavenly Court’s Buddhist Sect was not only due to him being the Taoist Master; it also owed much to the formidable combat capability provided by the top-quality Immortal Spirit Mech Armor, allowing Mahayana to contend against low-order Calamity Immortals.
Now that the top-quality Immortal Spirit Mech Armor had leaked out, with the potentiality of the Heavenly Court’s Buddhist Sect, it would not take long before a large number of Calamity Immortal combat capabilities emerged, effectively erasing the advantage the Wandao School had in this regard.
This was definitely not good. After all, while it’s best to be cautious about harming others, it’s necessary to be wary of others as well. No one could guarantee that, after receiving this Mana Point, the Heavenly Court’s Buddhist Sect wouldn’t harbor different intentions, potentially plunging South Observance back into strife.
Therefore, Xu Yang kept a mindful eye and provided both sects with only the initial form of the advanced Immortal Spirit Mech Armor.
Over the past three thousand years, the Wandao Schools across various worlds have continued their arduous research. Although they haven’t pushed Heavenly Mechanics Methods into the Eighth Order, they have refined many aspects, making it near perfect, significantly enhancing both Mech Armature Grade and Immortal Spirit combat capabilities.
This was evident from the previous battle in the Twilight Realm. The initial version of the superior-grade Immortal Spirit Mech Armor possessed only the combat power of between the First to Second Calamity. Faced with a Third Calamity Immortal God, they would fall into adversity, only able to defend, incapable of going on the offensive.
However, in the battle within the Twilight Realm, managing the “latest model” White Jade Capital’s Phoenix Song, it easily vanquished an external incarnation of a Fourth Calamity Demon God. Its combat capabilities, if not reaching the fourth or fifth Calamity stage, had reached the third stage.
Meaning, the perfected version of the superior-grade Immortal Spirit Mech Armor now possessed combat power equivalent to a Third Calamity Immortal God. Compared to the initial version of the superior-grade Immortal Spirit Mech Armor, it held a significant technological advantage, hence Xu Yang so readily dispatched the Mana Point, allowing the Heavenly Court’s Buddhist Sect to share some of the pressure in exchange for time to develop.
Now, he planned to refine artifacts on a grand scale, creating a “Five Directions Immortal Venerable” to address the situation in the Heavenly Secret Realm.
This Five Directions Immortal Venerable would be composed of Five Directions Immortal Flags and five hundred million Spiritual Treasure Magical Artifacts, possessing combat capabilities surpassing that of a core single White Jade Capital and specializing in defense. With the unrestrained cycle of the Five Elements, impervious to all methods, personally commanded by him and facing a Nine Tribulations True Immortal, even if it could not secure victory, it would surely hold an impregnable position.
Spiritual Treasure Magical Artifacts needn’t be explained further. Over three thousand years, reliant on the Five Elements Pill Origin’s capabilities and Wandao Celestial Patrol’s fruits, concurrently advancing through upper and lower realms, the accumulated foundational assets are ample enough to refine five hundred million Spiritual Treasure Magical Artifacts, even if it means suffering some losses to Qi and enduring significant physical strain.
As for those Five Directions Immortal Flags…
Central–Earthly Branches Apricot Yellow Flag!
East–Azure Lotus Treasure Color Flag!
South–Ground-Departing Flame Light Banner!
West–Suese Cloud Realm Flag!
North–True Martial Black Eagle Flag!
These Innate Five Directions Flags, each one an existence within and beyond the realm of Immortal Treasures, sealed in the Heavenly Secret Realm, are hard for True Immortals to even touch.
However, just like the Ground-Departing Flame Light Banner, with the Heavenly Secret Realm opening dozens of times, a large number of Calamity Immortals and True Immortals entered, observing these Ancient Immortal Treasures, contemplating their principles and understanding their mysteries, ultimately learning to imitate their refinement method, which spread among the Earth Immortal realms.
