Uncle Fu nodded and smiled. “There’s no need to worry about it for now. Although the thing in the other room is important, these three Grandmist Spiritual Treasures are Spiritual Treasures that you must have when you walk about the Divine Realm in the future.”
“Uncle Fu, please exin.” Qin Yu immediately detected that there was something he must know.
“The Divine Craft ‘Flying Yamen’ and the God Sealing Pagoda are both support type Grandmist Spiritual Treasures, if you have the time, then it’s best for you to first bind the Divine Craft Flying Yamen, then the God Sealing Pagoda and finally the Snowthread Gloves.” Rmended Uncle Fu.
Confused, Qin Yu asked. “Uncle Fu, why is it that you suggest I bind the attack type Grandmist Spiritual Treasurest?”
From Qin Yu’s point of View, he felt that increasing his strength would be the most important after arriving in the Divine Realm and so he should bind the Snowthread Gloves as early as possible.
Uncle Fu smiled and said as he shook his head. “You already possess the Divine Spear Waning Snow. Your attack power is already very strong. Furthermore, a High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifact is a lot easier to bindpared to a Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. Thus, you do not have to hasten yourself in binding the Snowthread Gloves.”
“That I agree. The Heavenly Divine Artifacts are indeed easier to bind than Grandmist Spiritual Treasures.” Qin Yu nodded and said while smiling.
One could easily bind a Heavenly Divine Artifact the moment one’s soul reaches the Golden Soul Pellet stage. Furthermore, if one were topare might, then High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts wereparable to the second or third-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasures.
Of course, even High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts have those that are inferior and superior to each other.
“These three Grandmist Spiritual Treasures shall be left here for the time being. You can bind them when you have time in the future. These Grandmist Spiritual Treasures can only disy their strongest might after being boundpletely.” Said Uncle Fu. “Come, follow me, let’s go to the other room.”
Qin Yu immediately nodded. He followed Uncle Fu and left this room with the three Grandmist Spiritual Treasures and entered into the other room.
Once they entered the room.
The scenery in the surrounding took a huge change again. Qin Yu was carefully surveying his surroundings.
This was a misty and boundless starry space. Numerous bright stars were radiating fascinating and brilliant starlights from afar. As for the location where Qin Yu stood, it was the outer space.
Before Qin Yu, at a distance not far from him, was a house floating in the starry space. Numerous golden scrolls were floating surrounding this house. There were over several thousand golden scrolls. These several thousand golden scrolls were floating around the house just like that.
“What is going on here?” Confused, Qin Yu looked to Uncle Fu beside him.
Uncle Fu smiled and said. “Qin Yu, while this ce appears to be a starry space, but the actual space here is notrge at all. Regardless of whether from the front to the back, left to the right or top to the bottom, they are all only about a mile in distance. It is impossible for you to walk past the one mile distance.”
“Uncle Fu, you mean that... those stars are all just illusions?” Qin Yu instantly understood.
“That’s right, they’re illusions.” Uncle Fu smiled. “Although my master’s strength was very powerful, he had still not reached the level to create arge space. The most he could do is create a small scale space.”
Uncle Fu pointed to that stone house floating in the middle. “Inside that stone house is the core of the entire Bewitching God Temple, the Refining me Wristband created from the nine Purple Origin me Beads.”
“Refining me Wristband?” Qin Yu unable to refrain his excitement. This Refining me Wristband was the core that controlled the entire Bewitching God Temple.
“The Purple Origin me Beads are by themselves third-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasures. My master had merged the nine Purple Origin me Beads into one and created the Refining me Wristband. With the Refining me Wristband, your ability to use mes would increase. As for the Refining me Wristband itself, it is a second-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. However, for the artifact refining experts, it isparable to first-rated Grandmist Spiritual Treasures.” Uncle Fu looked to Qin Yu while smiling.
Qin Yu immediately managed to guess it.
To artifact refining experts, the ability to control mes was extremely important. Not only must they control the heat of the mes, they must also control the level of the mes. And this Refining me Wristband was created through nine Purple Origin me Beads. Thus, it was surely a fire-attribute Spiritual Treasure and the assistance it would provide in artifact refinement and creation was self evident.
“Qin Yu, the most important thing that you must do right now is... to immediately bind this ‘Refining me Wristband.’” Uncle Fu looked to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu nodded. His gaze was cast toward that floating house.
Once he has bound the ‘Refining me Wristband,’ it means that he would be able to control the entire Bewitching God Temple. Qin Yu immediately stepped forward onto the empty space and proceed to walk toward the floating house. However, after merely walking a couple steps, Qin Yu’s gaze was cast toward those golden scrolls.
“What are those scrolls?” Asked Qin Yu in confusion.
Uncle Fu exined while smiling. “Those scrolls are scrolls that contain martial techniques, secrets or all sorts of other different kinds of knowledges. That areparable to the jade slips of your Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm. Merely, the amount of information that these scrolls can contain within them is a lot more than those jade slips.”
Qin Yu was surprised.
Qin Yu was very familiar with the amount of information that a jade slip could contain. That amount could be considered as being astonishinglyrge.... even his own master, Lei Wei’s science and technology cosmos’s so-called storage drive would not even be able to control a ten thousandth of the amount of information that a jade slip could contain.
Those golden scrolls, their capacity was actually muchrger than even the jade slips. They were truly deserving to be the things used to store information in the Divine Realm.
“Qin Yu, the reason why I said the things in this room are more precious than the Grandmist Spiritual Treasures in the room to the right was primarily because of these scrolls.” Said Uncle Fu with a serious expression.
Qin Yu was unable to refrain his shock.
Qin Yu had originally thought that it was because of the Refining me Wristband that Uncle Fu said the things in this room was more precious than the things in the previous room. Never had he expected that it was actually these scrolls.
“These several thousand scrolls are priceless. They describe numerous medicinal herbs, peculiar demon beasts of the Divine Realm and the numerous dangerous ces in the Divine Realm... and so on. Essentially, they contain information on numerous things. In order to be a master artifact craftsman with a majestic status, one must know all of the information in those scrolls!” Said Uncle Fu as he pointed to those floating scrolls.
Qin Yu looked to those golden scrolls with zing gaze.
“Those golden scrolls are the recordings of all my master’s knowledge. Of course, a lot of the things are indescribable with words. For those things, you can only go andprehend them yourself.” Said Uncle Fu with a smile. “However, the path of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The most important thing for you right now is to grasp the single skill that is the most fundamental and the most important to artifact refining experts... Formation Arrays!”
“Formation Arrays? Which scroll is that?” Qin Yu asked.
Qin Yu was already determined to study and learn it.
“Which scroll?” Uncle Fu was slightly shocked.
Qin Yu smiled and said. “That’s right, what’s wrong, Uncle Fu? Could it be that you’re telling me that a single Golden Scroll was not enough to record all theprehension and knowledge that Senior Chehou have toward the Formation Arrays?” Joked Qin Yu.
“Of course. My master had left behind the ‘Array Path’ which isposed of nine hundred scrolls. You mustpletelyprehend these nine hundred scrolls in order to take the first step toward the road to bing an expert of the formation arrays!” Uncle Fu said as he nodded.
Qin Yu felt a burst of pressure. “Uncle Fu, please don’t tell me that these nine hundred scrolls, each and every one of them are full?!”
Qin Yu was already very clear with the capacity of jade slips. In all these years, he had never once seen a jade slip that waspletely full with information. As for the Golden Scrolls that possessed even more capacity than the jade slips, Qin Yu felt dreadful just imagining how much information a single Golden Scroll would be able to contain.
Even though a Divine Realm expert’s Divine Awareness possessed an extremely calcting speed, topletely read over an entire Golden Scroll’s information, it was still very frightening.
“These nine hundred scrolls, not every one of them are full.” Said Uncle Fu with a smile. Qin Yu immediately had a sigh of relief. Uncle Fu continued. “Of these nine hundred scrolls, the first eight hundred ny-nine scrolls arepletely full. As for the final scroll, it is only half full.”
Qin Yu was dumbstruck for a moment.
“Uncle Fu, how long would it take for me to finish reading all these nine hundred scrolls?” Qin Yu asked sorrowfully. Even now, Qin Yu was still not certain about the capacity of the Golden Scrolls from the Divine Realm. While it possessed a bigger capacity than the jade slips, but how much bigger?
Uncle Fu smiled and said. “I am not certain myself. But I estimate that.... if you don’t stop to eat or rest, then it would take you at least several hundred years in order to finish reading all nine hundred scrolls. Once you finished reading them, it meant that you’ll have taken the first step toward the first level of the ‘Array Path!’”
“It’ll require several hundred years to finish reading the nine hundred scrolls? And that’s only the first step towardprehending the first level?” Although Qin Yu was prepared to meet the difficulties in bing an expert artifacts craftsman, but merelyprehending the formation array technique had already shocked him.
“You misheard. I said... after finished the nine hundred scrolls, you’ll be able to take the first step and be qualified to advance toward the first level of the ‘Array Path.’ At that time, you are not anywhere close toprehending the first level.” Said Uncle Fu with a light smile.
Qin Yu felt a burst of pressure.
In order to be the number one artifacts craftsman in the entire Divine Realm, it was extremely extremely difficult.
“Uncle Fu, how long would it take toprehend the first level of ‘Array Path?’” Qin Yu asked.
Uncle Fu lightly smiled and said. “If you’re fast, then you’ll be able to aplish that in several tens of thousands of years. If you’re slow... then even in several billions of years you’re still not at the first level yet.”
“Several tens of thousand of years?” Qin Yu nodded in his heart. If others could aplish that, then he would definitely be able to aplish that even better.
Uncle Fu continued. “Qin Yu, theprehension of the ‘Array Path’ is different from theprehension of ordinary martial techniques. It is not something that is better the faster you managed toprehend it. On the contrary... those with better aptitude, the longer they linger in theprehension of the firstyer, the better it is.”
“My master had used over a hundred million years in order toprehend the first level of the ‘Array Path.’ He then spent over ten millions of years in order toprehend the second level of the ‘Array Path.’” Said Uncle Fu slowly.
“However,ter on, my master decided to discard all of theprehensions he attained in the past and study the ‘Array Path’ from scratch again. This time, it took him over a billion years toprehend the first level of the ‘Array Path.’ However, it took him merely two hours toprehend the second level of the ‘Array Path!’”
Qin Yu was shocked. He was unable to refrain his eyes from showing a shocked expression.
This Chehou Yuan had a great perserverance. At the start, he merely spent a million years toprehend the first level of the ‘Array Path’ and ten million years to reach the second level of the ‘Array Path.’
However, he actually dared to abandon all that he hadprehended to study the Array Path from the beginning again. It then took him over a billion years in order to betterprehend the first level of the Array Path. And then, it took him only two hours toprehend the second level of the Array Path.
A million years. Ten million years.
A billion years. Two hours.
“What’s going on? What exactly is going on?” Qin Yu felt that an enormous mystery was contained within it.
Uncle Fu lightly smiled and said. “The ‘Array Path’ is a test of one’s talent and patience. My master possessed exceptional heaven bestowed talents, great perseverance and great knowledge. Only through all of that did he managed toprehend the third level of the ‘Array Path.’ This had also allowed my master to be the number one artifact craftsman of the Divine Realm!”
“Had it not been for the second reprehension, it was simply impossible for my master to manage toprehend the ‘Array Path’s’ second level.” Said Uncle Fu indifferently.
“What’s going on? Didn’t Senior Chehou already manage toprehend the first level? Why did he startprehending from scratch again?” Qin Yu felt that his mind had turned somewhat chaotic.
Uncle Fu shook his head and said. “That was because the first level that everyoneprehends is different.”
“The different first level that oneprehends would determine the future that one would have in the ‘Array Path.’ Qin Yu, what I am about to tell you is also what my master told me to inform his sessor before he left. For the first level of the ‘Array Path,’ you must reach the most perfectprehension. That’s right, the most perfectprehension... You must try your best to prate deeper into it.”
Qin Yu felt a bit pained.
Undoubtedly, that Chehou Yuan possessed a very high talent. However, he still spent a billion years in order toprehend the first level of the ‘Array Path.’ How long would Qin Yu have to take? Does he have that sufficient amount of time?
“Uncle Fu, I shall first refine and bind the Refining me Wristband. Regarding theprehension of this ‘Array Path,’ I’ll figure that out after I ascend to the Divine Realm. The time that I have in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm is already insufficient.” As Qin Yu said that, he stepped into the stone house.
In about a hundred and eight years, Qin Yu would be undergoing the Divine Tribtion and then ascending to the Divine Realm.
And in these a hundred and eight years, there are still a lot of things Qin Yu must do. He simply did not have any time toprehend the ‘Array Path.’ With a time of only a hundred and eight years, he cannot even finish reading the ‘Array Path’ at all.
Inside this floating house radiates a red light that brings about a warming sensation. The source of the red light is wristband formed by the nine scarlet almost sparkling and translucent beads.
Qin Yu stared at the wristband.
Refining me Wristband!
Qin Yu was absolutely certain. And at this moment, Uncle Fu walked in. He said. “Qin Yu, it is a bit difficult to refine and bind that Refining me Wristband. It is mostly determined by your body’s True me and soul’s level. Firstly, you are to drip a drop of blood on it. ording to the set up my master had ced on this wristband when he made it, it should be very easy for you to drip a drop of blood to be its owner and then take it within your body.”
Qin Yu nodded,
He extended his finger. A drop of blood dripped down from his fingertip andnded on the Refining me Wristband. The Refining me Wristband immediately started to give off a sizzling sound. At the same time, a burst of white mist appeared.
“It’s done.” Qin Yu was able to clearly sense a soul connection.
With an intention, that Refining me Wristband was directly absorbed into Qin Yu’s body. Almost simultaneously, Qin Yu sat down on the ground in a cross-legged position. He had already started to refine and bind the Refining me Wristband.
As Qin Yu does not have a lot of time before his ascension, he didn’t wish to spend a lot of time on refining this wristband. He wished to leave some time to spend with his family.
“Truly a great effort.” Seeing Qin Yu starting the refinement and binding process right away, Uncle Fu started to smile and nod. “With your soul’s level and the fact that my master had lowered the refinement demand when he created this ‘Refining me Wristband,’ I estimate that you’ll be able to sessfully refine and bind it within a couple thousand years.”
Couple thousand years?
Qin Yu would have to undergo his Divine Tribtion in a hundred and eight years. Unfortunately, the current Qin Yu waspletely focused on refining the Refining me Wristband and didn’t hear what Uncle Fu said at all. Otherwise, he’d choke and die.
“My master is truly amazing. Originally, the Innate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures would all require several hundred thousand years to refine. As for some of the more powerful Grandmist Spiritual Treasures, the amount of time it required to refine them was even more astonishing. If the Grandmist Spiritual Treasures were to resist, then one would likely be unable to refine them regardless of how long one spent on refining them. Fortunately, the Refining me Wristband was personally created by my master. Only because of that did Qin Yu manage to attain a small advantage and would be able to refine it in merely several thousand years.” Gasped Uncle Fu in admiration.
Evidently, Uncle Fu believed that refining and Grandmist Spiritual Treasure in several thousand years was extremely fast.
After that, Uncle Fu sat to the side. With a flip of his hand, he took out a pot of tea. Unhurried, he started drinking the tea. As for Qin Yu, he continued to sit there cross-legged and wholeheartedly refine the ‘Refining me Wristband.’
Time passed... year after year....
Inside Qin Yu’s dantian’s space.
That Refining me Wristband was floating within Qin Yu’s dantian’s space. Numerous ck mes were unceasingly pouring into the Refining me Wristband. At the same time, Qin Yu was unceasingly pouring his soul force into it.
“What’s going on? Why is the refinement of this Refining me Wristband so slow?” Qin Yu had already dripped his blood on it and became its master. He was able to tell that the Refining me Wristband was still very far away from beingpletely refined.
ording to what Uncle Fu said, the speed of the Refining me Wristband’s refinement was determined by his body’s True me and his soul’s level. Furthermore, after bing its master, Qin Yu also knew that... if he wanted to increase the speed of the Refining me Wristband’s refinement, he could only do that via increasing his soul’s level or increasing the level of his body’s True me.
“Like this, when would I be able to finish it?” Qin Yu grew anxious. “If I ce this ‘Refining me Wristband’ directly into my ‘Ster Space’ where my body’s True mes are originated from, I reckon its refinement speed would be faster.”
With an intention, the Refining me Wristband was directly sent into the ‘ck Hole.’ Following the ck Hole Channel, it reached the Ster Space.
The current Ster Space was already extremely vast. Qin Yu’s Awareness was surveying the Ster Space.
That boundless cosmic space-like ‘flour paste space’ outside of the Ster Space was the same as before. The thick flour paste was still flowing unceasingly. At the same time, traces of the thick flour paste energy were influxing into the Ster Space.
“There’s still a bit from reaching the Late Stage Origin Stage.” Qin Yu looked to that dark ck colored sphere. That dark ck colored sphere was flickering with traces of gold light. ording to Qin Yu’s estimate, if he were topletely reach the Late Stage Origin Stage, then there would likely not be a single trace of gold light from that dark ck colored sphere.
The Ster Space was unceasingly absorbing the ‘flour paste energy.’
“It still has to absorb for a little bit longer.” Qin Yu sighed. His attention then shifted toward that Refining me Wristband.
The Refining me Wristband was flying toward the origin of the ‘ck Divine me.’
However, right at that moment...
“What’s going on?” Qin Yu looked to a scene before him in shock. A trace of flour paste energy had actually drifted to the Refining me Wristband. The Refining me Wristband immediately started to tremble. It then started to absorb the flour paste energy with ‘great difficulty.’
This trace of flour paste energy was extremely small. The core of Qin Yu’s Ster Space, that dark golden sphere would absorb a huge volume of flour paste energy in an instant.
However, the Refining me Wristband took an entire month’s time and was unable to even absorb a tenth of the flour paste energy that hadnded on it.
However, with merely absorbing a tenth of the trace of flour paste energy, Qin Yu was able to sense that.... the refinement of the Refining me Wristband had instantly increased a tenth!
“Heavens!” Qin Yu was shocked.
At the same time, he was capering madly with joy. A single month had already increased the refinement by a tenth. Adding on the two tenth that he had already refined... the entire Refining me Wristband would be refined in another seven months.
However, in theing days, Qin Yu discovered that... the speed at which the Refining me Wristband absorbs the flour paste energy grew slower and slower.
Originally, it had absorbed one tenth of a trace of flour paste energy in a month. Later on, it took it two entire months to absorb a tenth of the same trace of flour paste energy.
Ten entire years!
After ten years, the Refining mes Wristband had finally finished its refinement. And at this moment, that trace of flour paste energy, a small amount of it was still not absorbed. However, the Refining me Wristband was unable to absorb it anymore. It was as if the Refining me Wristband was already full.
As for the remaining bit of flour paste energy, it followed the millions upon millions of other traces of flour paste energy into the core of the Ster Space, the Origin. The Origin continued to absorb those flour paste energy with a frightening speed every instant.
