Chapter 271: The Body as an Artifact (3)
These rainbow aquas were extremely strange. They were evidently water, yet they seemed to be living creatures. Just a drop was like gelatin, actually dyeing the black arm bone with various colors!
And for the first time, the black arm bone actually displayed indications of softening!
āNine Dragons Pearl Delight!ā Both of Gao Muyaās eyes were crimson. At this moment, he didnāt have the effort to care about Xu Yangyi. He had spoken correctly; when such a time arrived, a grand artificerās desire would finally seize the rising wind. No matter what, he would continue working! As for Xu Yangyi, Gao Muya no longer had the time to concern himself. He only wished that the other could hold on! Perhapsā¦ it would be better for Xu Yangyi to black out!
[1]
Boom!
Following Gao Muyaās shout, nine tails shortly united into one and transformed into an enormous fire orb. Along with Gao Muyaās gesture, it seemed like water, casting and forging back and forth on Xu Yangyiās left arm bone!
āFUCK!!!ā Xu Yangyi roared angrily, his voice hoarse. Such an all-terrible temperature made him truly wish that he had now passed out.
No goodā¦ now still isnāt the the most crucial momentā¦
His eyes were also reddened, looking towards the fireball. Within it, there were an additional eight pieces of the Heavenmend Stone that hadnāt melted. Once they melted, the unconscious him wouldnāt be able to protect himself, and his meridians would possible be burned down!
Even if he had to force himself despite the painā¦ he had to make it through this phase!
In his mind, he recalled the words that Gao Muya had said to him. Among all materials, the Heavenmend Stone was the hardest and most heat-resistant material. Moreover, it was one of the primary materials for transforming the bone arm into a magik treasure embryo! This was the hardest step! And also Xu Yangyiās most painful step! After this step, there were still few procedures like this step that melted materials and used them directly on his arm. Nonetheless, this degree of pain couldnāt be mentioned in the same breath let alone the same day with the Heavenmend Stone.
His body almost instinctively mobilized spiritual force. He knew of his own state. He clearly understood that his arcane effort was vastly different from others. After his left arm had been severed, there was still a moderate amount of mired spiritual force inside his meridians. This spiritual forceā¦ He presently dared not use it to cover the pain amidst his state of confusion. He could only wait for the time that all nine Heavenmend Stone pieces transformed into a blazing tide!
āThis isā¦ā However, just as he mobilized his spiritual force, preparing to completely draw it on standby over his left arm, he shocking discoveredā¦
His internal spiritual forceā¦ actually started to revolve by itself!
Whatās going on?!
Instant shock, to the extent that it overrode his arm pain in a flash. His spiritual sense immediately performed Innersight, yet he discovered that although he was unable to cycle a greater or lesser qi cycle because his left arm was missing, a cycle actually started to revolve on its own!
Why?
He looked within his body in shock, a hundred ideas running amok in his mind, but he was unable to solve this mystery!
This was the warning sign that the Eternal Alchemy Canonās Foundation Establishment realm would appear!
In Qi Condensation, concocting pills was the same as cultivating. In Foundation Establishment, one was self-cultivating all the time. At the moment, he hadnāt reached Foundation Establishment, but his arcane effort began showing an omen of the Foundation Establishment realm!
No!
In his mind, he sobered. Probably the bodhi seed at work, his thought process suddenly became faster:
Noā¦ thatās not sayingā¦ that one can only self-cycle at Foundation Establishment, ratherā¦ this is fire!
Thatās right, the Vermilion Bird Fire! Iām late-stage Qi Condensation; I still donāt have the full picture on where it is now, but most of it has been displayed. This might be a demonstration only at Foundation Establishment. And with this flame, my internal pill-furnace meridians can be considered truly perfect! I can then actually activate it. Itās not that Foundation Establishment can only start it, but only Foundation Establishment has the chance to get the Vermilion Bird Fire and make it activateā¦ but itās starting up nowā¦ Could it beā¦
His spiritual sense immediately rushed into his qi sea. Soon afterwards, he sawā¦ a pulsing flame in his qi sea! Itā¦ was white fox fire!
The Burning Flame!
So thatās how it isā¦
He quickly realized what was going on. Over the course of the artificing on his bodyāthe body as an artifactāthe Heavenmend Stoneās high temperature carried the Burning Flameās fire. Sliver by sliver, it actually formed a bean-sized piece of the Burning Flame!
Although it was small, how great was it to the current Qi Condensation Xu Yangyiās meridians? This flame caused a late-stage Foundation Establishment senior and half-step Core Formation senior to both manipulate it with full power. Although it was small, it was already enough to activate the Eternal Alchemy Canonās complete state!
Such a change didnāt permit the lack of any factor. Because of the loss of his left arm, he was unable to continue cultivating. And yet the Eternal Alchemy Canon unexpectedly patched his entire body up for the time being. His pill furnace-shaped meridians within his body simply didnāt need his control. They absorbed spiritual force on their own. But as this spiritual force cycled to his left arm, they didnāt find a drain. To Xu Yangyiās surprise, it gave rise to minor resistance with the heat wave that battered his insides and allowed his deep pain to be greatly reduced.
If it werenāt for the artificing, I wouldnāt be able to absorb this flame. If I didnāt cultivate the Eternal Alchemy Canon, I mightāve passed out from pain nowā¦ It really isā¦
He shut his eyes, his heartbeat already normalizing:
the Heavenās Willā¦ Fortune makes fools out of menā¦
This was a golden opportunity bestowed by the heavens.
This kind of chance was too difficult to obtain. It really was thought as a destined opportunity. This early realization and appreciation of the Eternal Alchemy Canonās profundities caused him to understand a fraction more. He still wasnāt aware how long it would be until he reached Foundation Establishment. Perhaps it would be soon or maybeā¦ several decades. But he could use this time to think over, ponder, and reflect on this sensation, so his body could find the most suitable path for this arcane effort!
The pain was already in a controllable scope that he could bear by gritting his teeth, and it wasnāt like just now where he couldnāt help but to scream. After all, after his left arm had been severed, he was unable to cultivate. He was making use of the dredged-up spiritual force in his meridians. It could only be consumed, not replenished. Nonetheless, an army of new life force suddenly joined. Although it wasnāt much, it was already enough to alleviate his pain by a level.
Outside, the tremendous Burning Flame took drops of rainbow liquid into the black arm bone. A little less than half of the black arm bone had already become kaleidoscopic. Within himself, Xu Yangyi was embracing and guarding his three energies of essence, qi, and spirit, and pushing extremely tiny slivers of qi to cycle with the bean-sized flame. Unintentionally, Old Man Di took a glimpse at Xu Yangyi, almost not believing his eyes!
Cultivation?!
How could this kid cultivate now?!
Cultivation required a meditative state. This so-called meditative state was the elimination of distracting thoughts, a process of a mind without rampant diversions. A high temperature of 20,000 Ā°C melted the Heavenmend Stone, and the black arm bone directly accessed Xu Yangyiās left arm. Xu Yangyiā¦ He was actually able to free his heart from distraction?!
Was this a joke?!
āFellow Daoist Di!ā Following Gao Muyaās angry shout, Old Man Di immediately regained his wits. Gao Muya glanced at him in discontent. The meaning in his eyes was obvious. In such an important time and the inducement of so many heavenly treasures, you can still actually divide your attention?
Nevertheless, as Gao Muya followed Old Man Diās glance, he couldnāt help but abruptly cry out in alarm: āIs this a fucking a joke?!ā
Gao Muya exhaled and immediately felt his internal spiritual force fall to discord. The cold sweat on his forehead exuded out, dense and packed, and he used all his strength to stabilize his mind at once, butā¦ it was somewhat late!
The enormous blazeā¦ because of this momentary pause of hand seals, they began to sway in an instant. But in the flameā¦ an armās thickness of Heavenmend Stone, bearing slivers and strands of fire, poured into Xu Yangyiās left black arm bone with a rumble!
SIZZLE!!!
An explosion rang out! With great worry in his heart, Gao Muya immediately controlled the flame and continuously struck out with several magik arts. The flame then stabilized, but the prismatic aqua melted down from the Heavenmend Stone had already dyed Xu Yangyiās entire arm bone with vibrant hues in this twinkling!
This state of discord had on the contrary completed a matter that needed several days to finish.
Gao Muya coldly gasped. Not only was he in foul spirits, he instead promptly turned his head to look at Xu Yangyi. At the start, he only dared to control the drops to fall in trace by trace, but now, a strip with the thickness of an arm fell in! Would Xu Yangyi be able to accept it?
This was related to his name as a grand artificer. If he had smelted someone to death as he was artificing, his reputation was done for. Despite that, with a glance, he and Old Man Di were completely stunned.
Xu Yangyi was still cultivating! He still hadnāt awaken!
āWhere did this monster come fromā¦ā Several seconds later, shock and awe colored Gao Muyaās face. āIāve really seen a living ghostā¦ā
They were simply none the wiser that in the instant just nowā¦ Xu Yangyi had suddenly felt countless enormous heat waves wildly rush towards his left arm wound!
The qi defense he had started to weave moments ago collapsed with a rumble. But subsequently, several hundred starry motes of while flame were all sucked into his qi sea! The bean-sized flame unexpectedlyā¦ began to strengthen bit by bit!
Bean sizedā¦ Fingertip sizedā¦ A finger thickā¦ In the end, the flame awesomely reached the size of a palm!
Crackle crackle crackleā¦
Following the white flameās combustion, not only did the meridians within his body not feel pain, they released a coziness and rejuvenation to his soul!
Xu Yangyiās meridians were like a long drought coming across sweet rain, suddenly expanding and absorbing spiritual force from the outside world at a lightning speed. Such speed rendered him flabbergasted.
Thisā¦ The fire seed has been takenā¦ Is this the Eternal Alchemy Canonās cultivation speed after complete activation?
He looked towards his dantian in astonishment:
This is so speechlesslyā¦ fastā¦
No, this isnāt the fastest!
His eyes stirred.
Thatās rightā¦ This is the āsource engineā, and Iāmā¦ still missing fuel!
Yes, the Eternal Alchemy Canon was claimed to require a country to nurture one person. The source engine existed, but there was zero fuel. This was merely his Qi Condensation meridians finally meeting this fire seed. His pill furnace had been ignited, causing a bottleneck-style eruption. It would soon calm down.
Nonetheless, he was bereft of the slightest disappointment. Instead, joy ran through his entire heart!
There was no fuel, but at such a speedā¦ if he offered adequate spirit stonesā¦ what level of freakishness would his qi-revolution speed reach?
Not just thisā¦
The bodhi seed caused his thought process to be incredibly fast, and he divined three from one:
This is the revolution speedā¦ but what is revolution?
Without any hesitation, he answered himself:
The outside worldās qi!
With a fire seed and fuel, I still needā¦
He took a deep breath and repressed his heart that was wildly beating because of expectation:
a real placeā¦ with super dense qi! Paired up with a supreme Spirit Focusing Formation!
Likeā¦ Danxia Templeā¦ Under the heavenbound doorā¦ a heavenly paradise!
In this transient moment, he completely firmed his resolve towards the struggle over the heavenly paradise.
If said before, it was Ancestor Ancientpineās rearing of Gu. Afterwards, Xu Yangyi decided to because his future compelled him to go into battle. Now, it had transformedāhe was compelled towards victory! If not him, who else would he give up the heavenbound doorās surroundings to!
The Eternal Alchemy Canonās cultivation speedā¦ If this āpaired setā was completed, to say the least about other cultivators, his cultivation speed would be a fold higher than same-stage cultivators, including the apex clans!
And this was still a rough assessment!
Any āpaired-set installationā that reached perfection would bring a qualitative leap!
Vermilion Bird Fireā¦ the strongest fire seedā¦
He bit his lip. The two words of āFoundation Establishmentā werenāt distant from him, but they still werenāt an approaching word. Xu Yangyi rose up with an unprecedented thirst.
