Chapter 320: Chapter 319: Bell, Sword, Axe, Pot, Tower, Zither, Cauldron, Seal, Mirror, Stone
âThe heavens and earth return to harmony, ten thousand dragons reveal their forms.â
Zhong Lin sat cross-legged within the treasury, let out a loud shout, and immediately, the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi surged wildly. Under the effect of a mysterious power, ten thousand dragon-shaped shadows appeared all around Zhong Lin, with all the flying dragons baring their fangs and claws, roaring towards the sky.
âQi returns to the apertures, dragons return to the nest, ten thousand dragons enter the aperturesâŠâ
Zhong Lin shouted again, and the myriad dragons in the void roared, then simultaneously pierced into the acupuncture points around him.
After a while, Zhong Lin slowly opened his eyes, feeling the dragon-shaped energy coursing through his acupoints, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
âWhat a âGreat Cycle Ten Thousand Dragon Sutraâ, truly mysterious and unpredictable. It gathers the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi into the myriad apertures. Once fully cultivated, each acupuncture point hides a divine dragon. When needed, the power combines into one to be released, transforming into a True Dragon, both hidden and powerful.
No wonder the âGreat Cycle Ten Thousand Dragon Sutraâ must have the âDragon Elephant Golden Bodyâ as a prerequisite. If one cannot cultivate the âDragon Elephant Golden Bodyâ to the Perfection Realm, the acupoints simply cannot withstand the overbearing dragon-shaped energy.
I am only in the initial stage of practicing the âGreat Cycle Ten Thousand Dragon Sutraâ. The dragon-shaped energy in the acupoints is still relatively weak, and the True Dragon expelled is only a mere shape. Once I cultivate it to the Realm of Great Success, that Feng Lan Sword Lord wonât need many moves; a single palm will be enough to smash him into pulp.â
Zhong Lin was very satisfied with the power of the âGreat Cycle Ten Thousand Dragon Sutraâ, and was even more looking forward to the other two sect-protecting divine skills mentioned by Long Zhao from the Sea Suppressing Sect.
After all, just the âGreat Cycle Ten Thousand Dragon Sutraâ is so formidable. What about the attack-focused âAzure Dragon Eight Formsâ and the defense-focused âEight Desolate Dragon God Body Protection Skillâ?
Zhong Lin did not continue cultivating. After initiating the âGreat Cycle Ten Thousand Dragon Sutraâ, the Spiritual Origin would automatically nurture and strengthen the âten thousand dragonsâ. Of course, actively refining it would be faster.
But now Zhong Lin had an even more important task to do, which was to refine his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact.
He got up and walked outside, heading to the location of the Geng Metal Vein.
In front of him, the Geng Metal Vein was the best material for crafting Spiritual Energy, though the mining process could be somewhat troublesome. However, Zhong Lin did not intend to ask for help; after all, this was his secret base.
Now the only thing to consider is what kind of spiritual artifact to craft.
By rights, the most suitable Lifebound Spiritual Artifact for Zhong Lin is a âswordâ, after all, he has already comprehended eighty percent of Sword Intent, reaching the Realm of âSword Refining into Silkâ.
However, Zhong Lin was not a pure swordsman; otherwise, he wouldnât continue to comprehend Fist Intent. If it werenât for the mutual restraint and interference of various intents, he would undeniably have diversified his skills, embracing Sword Intent, Gun Intent, and more.
âA Lifebound Weapon is a Martial Artistâs second extension, capable of incorporating the comprehension of conceptions, growing together. If I refine a spiritual sword as a Lifebound Weapon, it would be too much of a waste for someone like me with special aids. Therefore, for me, integrating multiple conceptions into one is the best choice,â Zhong Lin thought to himself.
Zhong Lin was different from other martial artists. Others had no choice but to be purely focused, whereas he could perceive a myriad of insights through the system panel. Abandoning the whole forest for a single tree would be like losing a watermelon while picking up a sesame seed.
âThe Lifebound Weapon is the second extension of a martial artist. Since the human body is limited, what harm is there if I imprint my comprehension of other conceptions onto the Lifebound Weapon? The physical body will still primarily cultivate Sword Dao. At that time, to control all with one method, to unify all skills with one art, perhaps when my cultivation strengthens in the future, I can find a solution, meld myriad arts into the body, and forge my supreme path.â
The more Zhong Lin thought, the more excited he became, feeling that this approach was entirely feasible.
âSo, what kind of Lifebound Weapon should I forge? Since Iâm not fixated on a sword, the choices are abundant.â
While pondering, Zhong Lin couldnât help but recall certain items imbued with special meanings from his previous life, especially the fantasy spiritual treasures in prehistoric novels.
âDonghuang Bell, Xuanyuan Sword, Pangu Axe, Demon Refining Pot⊠Bell, Sword, Axe, Pot, Tower, Zither, Cauldron, Seal, Mirror, Stone.
Damn it, Qidian has not let me down. Why cling to swords, spears, and halberds? If I were to use these items as my Lifebound Weapon, with my growth, I might actually cultivate them into the legendary spiritual treasures one day.â
Zhong Linâs body trembled with excitement, reminiscing about the Innate Spiritual Treasure that touched his heart the most when he first read prehistoric novels in his past life.
In the days of primordial chaos, when the universe was undefined. The Primal Energy nurtured the Wushi. Donghuang Taiyi controlled the sun and moon, awaited the order of Qian Kun. From the gathering of Primordial Energy, he took Sun Essence and Moon Light, Starlight and Universe Light, forged the bell with nine layers, named it Donghuang. When the bell was completed, the heavens shook, the earth roared, and all gods fell silent, knowing this was no ordinary object.
The bell body was as enormous as a mountain, solid and weighty. Its surface glimmered, carved with natural creatures and stars and seas, inlaid with gold and jade, glittering coldly. Amidst its swings, it seemed as if the Milky Way was hanging upside down, with the galaxy swirling.
At the sound of the first ring, all beings across the eight directions and six realms bowed their heads.
At the sound of the second ring, Yin Yang exchanged, life and death followed fate, and all was silent.
With a resonance penetrating heaven and earth, it can create and destroy, transform all into a cohesive whole.
As the bellâs sound echoed, day and night reversed, stars realigned, and time and space shifted.
Eternal across the ages, enduring as the world, undestroyed by trials.
âFuck it, itâs settled, whether itâs strong or not is just a matter of version, but whether itâs cool or not is a lifetime matter. Besides, what could be stronger than the Donghuang Bell?â
âMoreover, my surname is Zhong, forging a bell as a Lifebound Weapon couldnât be more fitting, itâs perfect.â
At this moment, Zhong Lin felt as if his governor and conception vessels had been unblocked, and his inner adolescent fantasy once hidden at the bottom of his heart burst forth again.
Since the decision had been made, there was no need to change it.
With a grasp in the air, he directly retrieved the Black Dragon Sword from the Storage Bracelet, and began mining the Geng Metal Vein.
At this moment, Zhong Linâs mind was filled with the three words âDonghuang Bellâ. Even mining felt exciting, without a trace of boredom.
After excavating a pile of ore, he retrieved the Spiritual Artifact Furnace, ignited the Spiritual Fire, and refined the ore in the furnace, removing impurities, and producing block after block of Geng Metal Iron Ingots.
When tired, he sat to meditate and rest, and when hungry, he swallowed a Fasting Pill. In this manner, after more than a month, he ultimately produced ten thousand pounds of Geng Metal Iron Ingots.
At this time, Zhong Linâs hair was a bit disheveled, and his clothes had several tears, far from his usual elegant demeanor, but his eyes were exceedingly bright, like stars in the night.
âThe Geng Metal is sufficient. Next, Iâll start refining the artifact.â
In this world, there was no concept of artifact refining. Common folk forged weapons through hammering, while Martial Artists would find their own ways to craft embryos and then introduce them into the Soul Palace for nurturing.
Zhong Lin never intended to ask others for help, as this was to be the future âDonghuang Bellâ, naturally he would craft it himself.
With a grasp of his right hand in the air, all the Geng Metal Iron Ingots were encapsulated by his Spiritual Origin and thrown into the Spiritual Artifact Furnace.
Ten thousand pounds of Geng Metal sounded abundant, but this metalâs density was immense; even ten thousand pounds was merely the size of a large iron ball.
Primordial Qi gathered, and beneath the furnace, Spiritual Flames ignited, with scorching heat waves sweeping through the entire cave.
