Chapter 611 Refining True Fire
"Please speak, Dharma Protector." Chen Beiwu's expression hardened.
"By sheer chance, I acquired a masterpiece of creation."
At this point, Yu Yue clasped her hands together, and a grayish-blue millstone appeared in her palms.
The outer ring of the millstone was undecorated, smooth as a mirror, while the inner ring was engraved with six barely perceptible relief seal characters, exuding a subtle and indescribable Taoist charm.
Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted as he discovered that the Daoist aura flowing through the millstone was somewhat similar to that of the Revolving Stele, only more obscure and thinner, and contained a formidable power unimaginable to a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Chen Beiwu curiously probed it with his divine sense, and immediately his blood and qi surged, his dantian hummed, his nascent soul in his sea of consciousness trembled, and a great terror rose in his heart.
What level of creation artifact is this?
Chen Beiwu was shocked and immediately withdrew his extended divine sense.
Unlike the incomplete and powerful artifact of creation in the Southern Wilderness, the Nine Lives and Nine Incarnations Seal, the millstone in front of him was completely intact and in its prime, possessing unfathomable power. It only needed to release a trace of its aura to easily suppress and kill a Nascent Soul True Monarch, far beyond his ability to contend with.
Seeing Chen Beiwu's reaction, Yu Yue channeled her magic power and gently tapped with her right index finger.
"Buzz!"
As the numerous oppressive phenomena dissipated, the millstone immediately returned to its ordinary appearance, no longer wantonly radiating the power of creation.
"This treasure is called the Reincarnation Wheel. It is a replica made by the sect's experts, imitating the Heavenly Ruins Reincarnation Stele. Although its power is less than one ten-thousandth of the Reincarnation Stele, it carries a part of the Great Dao of Life and Death Reincarnation. It is a creation artifact that is unparalleled in the world."
To put it simply, Yu Yue stood on tiptoe, raised the Rebirth Wheel above her head, and handed it to Chen Beiwu with both hands.
"What... what is this?"
Upon seeing this, Chen Beiwu looked quite surprised.
"I have been studying the Rebirth Wheel for thousands of years, but I have been unable to grasp its true meaning. So I wanted to find a suitable cultivator to help me nurture it and see if I could gain any insights."
Yu Yue's voice was clear and melodious: "Iron Egg and the Reincarnation Wheel are quite compatible. Could you help me nurture the Reincarnation Wheel for a period of time?"
Tie Dan: "???"
As a mere perfected demon king, how could it be qualified to nurture such a powerful artifact as the Reincarnation Wheel?
It's no exaggeration to say that even if all the true magic power in its body were extracted, it probably wouldn't be able to unleash even two parts of the power of the Reincarnation Wheel!
"Eek!" (How stupid!)
Zhiling, through telepathic communication, was speechless at Tiedan's astonishment.
The drunkard doesn't mean wine.
Anyone with half a brain could see that Protector Yuyue was just making up an excuse to get Beiwu's help; her real target wasn't Tiedan, but Beiwu himself.
"With our cultivation levels, Tie Dan and I are afraid we can't control this Reincarnation Wheel," Chen Beiwu said, his eyes showing difficulty.
The Reincarnation Wheel is indeed very powerful, but like the Jade Moon Protector, it has many unpredictable factors.
To put it bluntly, even if Chen Beiwu used all his skills, he would not have the slightest confidence in suppressing a perfectly intact artifact of creation.
"Don't worry, this Reincarnation Wheel is made differently from other great artifacts of creation. It does not have a spirit of creation. Instead, the true meaning of the Great Dao of Life and Death Reincarnation replaces the spirit of creation."
Yu Yue blinked, her face innocent and naive: "If you refine it according to the method I gave you, there will definitely be no problem with this reincarnation wheel."
"However, let me make this clear from the start: this treasure is only temporarily lent to you. If you and Tiedan can gain any insights from the Reincarnation Wheel, you must share them with me."
Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu took a deep breath.
In the end, Protector Yuyue got all the benefits, giving him the right to use a powerful artifact for nothing.
"What, does that mean you have to exert all your strength just because it's beyond your capabilities?"
Seeing that Chen Beiwu remained silent, Yu Yue bluntly asked, "Are you unwilling to help with such a small matter?"
Having said all that, Chen Beiwu had no choice but to reach out and take it.
Unlike the ceremony of forming a bond of fellow practitioners, he can keep this reincarnation wheel within the Huncheng Peak and not take it to the Southern Wilderness, thus avoiding the risk of exposing the secrets of the two realms within him.
"Buzz!"
The moment he touched the Wheel of Reincarnation, a vast, ocean-like energy surged into Chen Beiwu's nascent soul through his palm, creating countless dense fragments of images.
In the fragments of the scene, there are countless versions of him growing up, and countless versions of him falling down, as if the wheel of reincarnation is helping him to understand the wisdom of his past lives.
Fortunately, these images came and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal, and the Reincarnation Wheel lay peacefully in Chen Beiwu's palm without making any further noise.
"Thank you for your help."
Yu Yue reached out and patted Chen Beiwu on the shoulder, her tone gentle.
There is one point she did not mention: the Wheel of Reincarnation is a powerful artifact of creation that she shares with her own destiny, and it also contains her insights into the Great Dao of Life and Death.
If Chen Beiwu can gain the recognition of the Reincarnation Wheel and cause it to open the Six Paths Gate, it means that her spiritual perception was not wrong, and Chen Beiwu is indeed the key to her attaining the Primordial Dao.
At that time, she would have to go all in and form a co-existence contract with Chen Beiwu, even if it meant losing all her pride.
Conversely, if Chen Beiwu fails to gain the recognition of the Reincarnation Wheel, it suggests that there may be a problem with her innate spiritual perception, and she needs to play it safe before making any further plans.
"Next, I plan to go into seclusion to study the Wheel Reincarnation Stele. I hope you can also find the Great Dao that suits you," Yu Yue said with a smile.
Chen Beiwu nodded, placed the Reincarnation Wheel into his storage ring, and took the opportunity to ask the question that had been nagging at him: "By uniting with the Dao and seeking nothing externally, one can reach the Refining Void realm. But before uniting with the Dao, how can a Nascent Soul True Venerable sense whether the Great Dao already has a master?"
Yu Yue frowned slightly, unsure how to explain it clearly, and could only give a general answer: "When you cultivate your own Dao to a certain level, you will naturally know it. You will not need to use profound techniques to deduce it. Everything will be clear in your mind, and you will vaguely sense the master's aura of the Dao position."
Seeing that Protector Yuyue's answer was exactly the same as that recorded in ancient books, Chen Beiwu did not ask any further questions and took his leave.
On the other side, deep within the Heavenly Ruins.
Having inexplicably acquired a peerless artifact of creation, Chen Beiwu was unsure whether it was a blessing or a curse, and felt immense pressure, so he had no mind to continue studying the Ruins Stele.
After resting overnight with his eyes closed and recovering his energy, Chen Beiwu probed with his divine sense, looking into the depths of Tie Dan's Dharma lineage.
With the guidance of Protector Yuyue, Tiedan's advancement to the ultimate Demon King level was quite fortunate, as he awakened two Xuan Tong skills alone.
【Mysterious Connection】: Refining True Fire 【Attribute】: Fire, Life and Death 【Rank】: Fourth-Order Supreme 【Description】: Refining the soul with fire can eliminate sins and impurities, restore true nature, and prevent one from being lost in the cycle of reincarnation.
Although this profound power cannot reverse reincarnation, it allows the awakened to refine their three souls and seven spirits with the True Fire Refining Hammer, thus refining their divine soul into a primordial spirit.
Note: Forcibly elevating the soul to the primordial spirit requires nine degrees of refinement. Only those with great willpower and fortune can withstand six degrees of refinement at most; otherwise, there is a risk of the complete destruction of the three souls and seven spirits, and the collapse of the primordial spirit and yang spirit.
It's actually a profound technique that can help cultivators hone their Nascent Soul and forge their Primordial Spirit ahead of time!
Chen Beiwu's eyes brightened slightly, unable to hide his amazement.
The path to becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator is incredibly difficult, and many of the most outstanding talents in the Immortal Alliance fail to overcome it.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Immortal Alliance cultivators, all the profound mysteries that can help Nascent Soul True Monarchs transform into Deities and increase the probability of attaining the Dao True Venerable are supreme mysteries that directly point to the Great Dao.
Even with numerous limitations in the Refinement of True Fire Profound Path, it was enough to make the True Monarchs and Prodigies of the Cave Heaven Immortal Sect envious.
"Woof." Tie Dan barked softly.
When it advances in cultivation, it doesn't think about the killing techniques that can amplify combat power, but rather about the auxiliary techniques that can help it understand the Nascent Soul stage.
Perhaps it was good fortune, or perhaps it was a matter of what one desires, which will surely come to fruition; it just so happens that the profound fire of refinement awakens deep within its bloodline.
"That's very thoughtful."
Chen Beiwu gently stroked Tie Dan's head and looked at another mysterious passage.
[Mysterious Connection]: Transformation into Sunlight [Attribute]: Fire, Life and Death [Rank]: Fifth-Order Creation Yuan Technique [Description]: A point of golden sunlight condenses between the brows, reflecting in the pupils of the eyes to form a halo of transformation. As the halo rotates, it can reveal the opponent's life and death pivot, and can be ignited by refining true fire, causing soul damage that ignores defense and is almost impossible to contain.
Upon sensing Xuan Tong's introduction through the same-concept contract, the golden egg's dragon eyes widened instantly.
unfair!
Why is it that all the other players awaken powerful and terrifying combat abilities, while it's unlucky and awakens a furnace technique that has no combat ability?
Chen Beiwu glanced at the golden egg, too lazy to even comment.
For someone aspiring to become a Primordial Demon Saint, the Furnace Technique is undoubtedly a profound and powerful technique, its power no less than that of Tie Dan's newly awakened Sunrise.
Jin Dan, on the other hand, is clueless. His mind is filled with nothing but offensive and defensive techniques, and he has no idea how rare and precious a technique that can be used to perform magic is.
Shaking his head and extinguishing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Chen Beiwu began to ponder how to gather the key elixir resources for Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, Zhi Ling, and A Zhi to help them attain the Dao of Demon Lord.
Plans can't keep up with changes!
Chen Beiwu never expected that a single opportunity to enter the Heavenly Ruins for enlightenment would not allow him to forge the Primal Myriad Tribulations Body, but instead would lead to the entire team achieving the ultimate advancement to the Demon King realm.
"Woof."
Iron Egg barked softly, indicating that it was not in a hurry to reach the ultimate realm of Demon King, and that it was most prudent to let Sherr be the first to attain the Dao of Demon Venerable.
"roar."
Golden Egg nodded, agreeing with Iron Egg.
Although it covets the strongest position in the team, it also knows that there are priorities.
Moreover, being dominant in a particular version for a short time does not mean you will be dominant forever!
"Woof?" (Why not try refining the True Fire Profound Realm?)
Tie Dan raised his head, his eyes eager to try.
"Time is limited for comprehending the Heavenly Ruins; it's not too late to try again later," Chen Beiwu pondered.
He had only studied three of the nine Ruins Stele, and there were still six Ruins Stele and five Heavenly Books that he had not yet studied.
To avoid missing the opportunity, he plans to visit the special Ruins Stele that the powerful figures of the Immortal Alliance would definitely not miss.
"Still not working!"
Su Miao Zhenjun opened her eyes, suppressing the disappointment in her heart.
Not far from her, True Lord Yueshan sat upright with a serious expression, but he could not make the Bearing Stele move in the slightest.
The burdens of success and failure are intertwined, and fortune and misfortune follow each other. No wonder the Bearing and Bearing Stele is the most difficult of the nine great steles of Tianxu to comprehend!
Yu Zhaohua narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, unable to suppress a sigh of emotion.
The Bearing Stele contains the great principle of cause and effect. By observing this stele and gaining insights, one can avoid karmic burdens and sever karmic ties.
Logically speaking, most of the True Venerables of the Immortal Alliance who have transformed into gods are beings who have thoroughly understood cause and effect, so comprehending the Inheritance Stele should be very easy for them, and their progress should be extremely fast.
In reality, this is not the case. Illuminating cause and effect only allows the Nascent Soul True Venerable to clearly understand the deep connection between the laws of heaven and earth and cause and effect, and to understand the operating mechanism of cause and effect. A single word can determine the life or death of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, but it does not mean that the Great Dao of cause and effect has been completely mastered.
Moreover, the Bearing Stele is extremely special among the nine Ruins Steles. It is the only one that possesses sentience and is willing to communicate with cultivators of the Immortal Alliance.
It is rumored that if one communicates properly and can please the spirit of the bearing monument, even if a cultivator's personality is incompatible with the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, they can still receive guidance from the spirit of the bearing monument, or even obtain a great fortune.
It is precisely for this reason that even if cultivators of the Immortal Alliance have specific goals for comprehension, there is a high probability that they will choose the Bearing Stele as soon as they enter the Heavenly Ruins, for fear that the spirit of the Bearing Stele will be exhausted by their cultivation and fall into a state of dormancy.
"call out!"
Just then, a streak of light flashing from afar successfully attracted Yu Zhaohua's attention.
Chen Beiwu landed in front of the Chengfu Stele and found that the True Monarchs and Prodigies of the Five Great Grotto-Heavens and Thirteen Immortal Sects were basically gathered here, and there were familiar faces everywhere.
Among all the cultivators, there was one Nascent Soul True Monarch prodigy who shone the brightest.
Her hair was as black as a waterfall, her skin as white as jade, her features exquisite, and her bright eyes held an innate coolness. She was none other than Gu Qinghan, the Holy Maiden of Taiyin.
"Are you also interested in the bearing cemetery?"
Gu Qinghan's red lips parted slightly, her beauty as cold and radiant as the moon's radiance, making one afraid to look closely, yet unwilling to look away.
However, all the True Lords and Prodigies present knew Gu Qinghan's temper and dared not look at him for too long.
Only the Nascent Soul True Venerables of each sect were able to maintain sufficient composure, following Gu Qinghan's gaze to look at Chen Beiwu with interest in their eyes.
The Holy Maiden of Taiyin is always aloof, and only those who have transformed into Nascent Souls can catch her eye. For this being to take the initiative to greet her, it seems that True Martial Lord is indeed quite capable.
"Well, I'm just here to try my luck," Chen Beiwu said modestly.
There are three thousand great paths, but their essence is different.
Strictly speaking, the Great Dao embodied by the nine Great Ruins Steles within the Heavenly Ruins is not ranked in any way.
However, the strength of a cultivator's understanding can sometimes affect the ranking of the Nine Ruins Stele in the hearts of the Immortal Alliance's geniuses. Therefore, Chen Beiwu was quite interested in the Bearing Stele, which the Immortal Alliance praised highly.
After all, the Bearing Stele is so generous that it can disregard the nature of things and casually bestow its true meaning and Dao essence just for a moment of pleasure!
If he is lucky enough to obtain some of the true meaning and essence of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, his chances of becoming a True Venerable of the Divine Transformation in the future will increase by another 10% or 20%.
"The Bearing Stele does not like divine sense probing; if you wish to comprehend it, simply observe the small stele in front of it."
With a reminder, Gu Qinghan closed his eyes and continued to study the Ruins Stele.
Chen Beiwu nodded and walked to Yu Zhaohua's side.
"So, did you find anything useful?"
"no."
Yu Zhaohua shook his head and said bluntly, "The spirit of the Inheritance Stele does not consider talent or aptitude, nor does it consider compatibility. I am not destined to make it appear."
At this point, Yu Zhaohua changed the subject, her tone filled with undisguised emotion: "But if it were you, you might be able to do it too!"
"Hard to say."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chen Beiwu, without taking anything for granted, strode over to the small stele in front of the monument.
boom!
Unexpectedly, Chen Beiwu discovered that the surrounding scenery had changed drastically and that seven figures had appeared around him with just a glance of his divine sense.
One of them, dressed in a wide-sleeved silk robe with a skirt that reached the ground, was none other than Gu Qinghan, the Holy Maiden of Taiyin.
As for the other six figures, their faces were difficult to discern, but they exuded an unfathomable and powerful aura.
A full six Nascent Soul True Venerables!
Chen Beiwu's mind stirred slightly, and he vaguely sensed the vast difference in strength between himself and the other six figures.
The next instant, white mist swirled before him, slowly outlining the form of a young beast.
