Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Deception, Ye Feng Refines Another Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact
“Congratulations to the Paper Fan Prophet on successfully cultivating a Divine Origin Realm level Meat Mountain Monster. With it, we can sweep through numerous forces,” said the old Sect Master of Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect respectfully.
“You shall deal with this Meat Mountain Monster. I have been away for too long and it’s time for me to return,” Paper Fan Young Master said lightly as he waved his paper fan, gave a few instructions, and then turned to leave.
“Farewell, Paper Fan Prophet!”
The old Sect Master of Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect and the twelve Supreme Elders all knelt on one knee, sending off the Paper Fan Young Master.
Only after confirming that the other party had truly left the area did the old Sect Master of Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect let out a sigh of relief, followed by wild joy.
“This Meat Mountain Monster actually belongs to me!”
The old Sect Master laughed heartily, feeling that happiness had come too suddenly.
He had met the Paper Fan Young Master three hundred years before.
However, the latter, seemingly a member of the Human Race, had in fact long been possessed by a divine soul from another world, becoming the spokesperson for the Prophet Clan in the realm of Mystique Kingdom.
As for the prophet in the underground space who the old Sect Master had eliminated, he just happened to have a feud with Paper Fan Young Master.
Strictly speaking, these two prophets were in competition with each other.
Since that prophet was killed by the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect, Paper Fan Young Master chose to support the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect; after all, they had helped him deal with his former enemy and rival, making them allies of sorts.
Thus, Paper Fan Young Master became the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect’s backer.
This secret was very well kept.
Within the entire Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect, only the old Sect Master and the twelve Supreme Elders were aware of it, and even the Great Elder of Divine Wind Sword Sect was kept in the dark.
After leaving the Black Stone Wasteland, Paper Fan Young Master landed on the top of a mountain.
“I won’t return to the Blood Demon Main Hall for now, I’ll take a stroll in the Southern River Basin instead; perhaps I’ll find some romantic luck,” whispered the Paper Fan Young Master.
Soon after, he lightly waved his paper fan and slowly walked away.
Blood Demon Main Hall.
A large underground hall.
Crack!
A Soul Lamp suddenly cracked, startling the old man who was in charge of watching it, but quickly, the Soul Lamp recovered on its own.
“What’s going on?”
The man watching the lamp rubbed his eyes and found that the Soul Lamp had reassembled itself after breaking apart, scratching his head in confusion.
But as long as the Soul Lamp was intact, it meant that the Vice Hall Master was also fine.
“Perhaps it was just a nightmare,” he thought.
The man watching the lamp sat cross-legged on the floor, continuing his vigilance over the several hundred differently lit green Soul Lamps.
Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect.
The old Sect Master looked at the Meat Mountain Monster standing in place, his eyes full of excitement as he laughed, “It’s a good thing we have the Soul Stabilizing Needle to suppress the three souls and seven spirits. This way, the Vice Hall Master of the Blood Demon Hall’s Soul Lamp will surely remain lit without attracting the attention of those from Blood Demon Hall.”
“All thanks to the Paper Fan Young Master for taking action.”
The twelve Supreme Elders said with a smile.
“Indeed,” nodded the old Sect Master, “Give the orders that all the Demon-locking Towers must intensify their efforts to torment the demonic beasts within to harvest their Evil Qi. After we lie low for a while, we can sweep through the entire Southern River Basin directly.”
One of the Supreme Elders asked in confusion, “Old Sect Master, why not attack the Southern River Basin now?”
Another Supreme Elder added, “The Sect Masters of the four Two-Star Rank forces have not yet advanced to the Divine Origin Realm, with only Misty Sect posing a threat. Why not seize the opportunity to attack?”
The old Sect Master shook his head, “I have calculated that there will be a more suitable opportunity in the future. We continue to wait.”
“Understood.”
Upon hearing this was the result of divination, the twelve Supreme Elders present all nodded, no longer questioning the decision.
…
Misty Sect.
Ye Feng and his group had long since returned to the mountain’s summit.
“Everyone, disperse and cultivate well. Every so often, I will personally give a lecture. If you have any questions related to cultivation, you can raise them then,” Ye Feng said to his disciples.
“Thank you, Sect Leader.”
The disciples bowed and then dispersed.
Usually, when they encountered problems with cultivation, they would take the initiative to consult Mo Ying, Ji Ziling, and other first-generation brothers and sisters.
If they still couldn’t solve the problem, they would turn to Gong Qingqiu.
And if even Gong Qingqiu didn’t know, then they would personally ask Sect Leader Ye Feng, who resided at the peak of Misty Peak.
“Wow!”
Upon seeing Ye Feng, Brother Flathead, who had grown to ten meters tall, immediately stood up, lifted his head, and made faces at Ye Feng at the summit of Misty Peak.
His demeanor seemed to say: I’ve grown stronger again, come on, let’s fight!
“Hey, this guy!”
Ye Feng laughed and waved his hand to remove the Demon Emperor Halo from Brother Flathead, causing him to return to his normal size.
“Wow!”
Brother Flathead stood there stunned as he felt the powerful force within his body rapidly dissipating, bringing him back down to the high-ranking High-Rank Demon General level.
“This is the Demon Emperor Halo, which allows you to temporarily gain a portion of the strength from all demonic beasts below the rank of Demon Emperor within a thousand li, at most lasting for seven days. Once the time is up, it will be removed,” explained Ye Feng.
Ye Feng conveyed his message through sound transmission.
Brother Flathead scratched his head, half-understanding.
After retracting the halo, Ye Feng arrived at the edge of Misty Peak’s cliff and looked at the Mad Python King lying in the Sect Main Plaza, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
“This Demonic Beast’s spine is indeed a high-grade material for artifact refinement!”
Ye Feng murmured to himself.
He turned his head to look at Li Zilong, who was at Feilai Peak giving guidance to a few Second-generation Disciples in the method of wielding the Silver Spear in battle, and smiled slightly.
Rip!
A golden light descended from the sky, splitting open the entirety of the Mad Python King’s flesh and taking out its complete spine, suspending it in the air like a bone dragon, attracting everyone’s attention.
“What is the Sect Leader going to do now?”
The crowd was perplexed.
Ye Feng remained silent.
He released the Supreme Grade Refining Furnace, gestured with his hand, summoned the damaged Blood Blade left by the Vice Hall Master of Blood Demon Hall in Fuyun Gloomy Forest, and threw it into the Refining Furnace to be re-sacrificed into precious materials.
Then, Ye Feng separated the Mad Python King’s spine into sections and refined them in batches in the Refining Furnace.
During this, he added many Middle-grade Spirit Stones and various other materials.
In the end, he even cast a golden light into the Refining Furnace.
When he killed Mos Quasi-Emperor and those three Middle-Rank Demon Kings, their Demon Cores shattered, but the bloodline powers and Demon Elemental Force were still present, sealed by Ye Feng with four strands of Wind Element Spirit Energy.
That piece of golden light just now was the concentrated power of Mos Quasi-Emperor.
Clang!
The Refining Furnace seemed to be boiling, crafting a Spiritual Artifact within.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Sect Leader is forging a brand-new Spiritual Artifact, and he’s actually using the vertebral bones of the Mad Python King. This is a big move indeed!”
Li Zilong looked up and was amazed.
He envied whoever would receive this freshly-forged weapon.
Half a day later.
Hum!
The lid of the Refining Furnace popped open.
A snow-white dragon spear soared into the sky, bursting with sharp aura. With a gentle poke, it created a hundred-meter-deep pit in Fuyun Gloomy Forest.
“Hiss!”
Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
“It’s a Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact!”
Gong Qingqiu, Mo Ying, Chu Yun’er, Li Zilong, and others widened their eyes, feeling a heart-pounding aura from the artifact and were instantly astonished.
“Not bad at all!”
Even Ye Feng was a bit surprised.
Before the refining began, the Refining Furnace communicated through thoughts, claiming that this refining session could at least produce an Upper-grade item among the premium Spiritual Artifacts.
Unexpectedly, once it was complete, it turned out to be an even higher Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact!
“It seems that it’s because it received the full strength of Mos Quasi-Emperor, coupled with the enhancement from that damaged Blood Blade, thus upgrading its grade.”
Ye Feng guessed the reason.
[Upgrade Energy: 22.5%]
Glancing at the accumulated energy in the Refining Furnace, Ye Feng discovered that the energy accumulated had reached as much as one-fifth.
Of course, there was already one-tenth before, and the refining of the Supreme Grade dragon spear only added about 10% of the upgrade energy. The amount of energy needed to promote it to a Spiritual Treasure was still far from enough.
Clang!
Ye Feng flicked lightly, and the Supreme Grade dragon spear tore through the air, instantly placing itself in front of Li Zilong.
“This is a Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact, bestowed upon Elder Zilong. I hope you will protect our Misty Sect well and not disappoint the expectations of your Sect Leader.”
Ye Feng spoke loudly, his voice spreading throughout the whole Misty Sect.
“Wow, it’s actually a Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact!”
“I’m crying with envy!”
The Disciples caused a sensation.
They stared at Li Zilong with eyes full of envy.
After all, that was a Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact, immensely precious, and the Sect Leader had just given it to Elder Li Zilong without even blinking an eye.
“Is… is this really for me?”
Li Zilong felt as if a great fortune had descended from the sky.
Just a moment ago, he was still wondering who the lucky person would be, and it turned out to be himself!
“It’s bestowed by me, your Sect Leader, take it!”
Ye Feng urged, “This Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact has no name yet, Elder Zilong can name it himself. I hope you continue to cultivate diligently in the future.”
“Furthermore, from now on, whoever advances to the Spirit Sea Realm will be awarded at least one Upper-grade Spiritual Artifact.”
Ye Feng added, his voice clear and loud.
Upon hearing this, the Disciples became excited, their enthusiasm for cultivation surging suddenly.
