I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 79: 78: True Fire Refining, Divine Objects Hiding Themselves, Summoning

The divine fire was raging like a cloud of red sand, burning the divine copper that was a foot long.

This treasure is spiritual and is not afraid of any fire in the world. But when it saw the Samadhi Fire, it struggled even more and seemed extremely frightened.

"Puff, swish." Gray mist swirled around the yellow divine copper, trying to extinguish the flying Samadhi Divine Fire.

This is the innate energy that can ward off water and fire.

No matter whether it is ordinary fire, Dharma fire, heavenly fire, earthly fire, yang fire, yin fire, or spiritual fire, once it touches the innate qi, it will immediately be extinguished and can no longer burn.

It is said that even the earth, water, fire and wind in the chaos cannot wear down this innate energy, so it was born before heaven and earth, and it is called the innate spiritual treasure.

Its mystery can be seen from this.

However, the crimson flames were swept by the innate energy, and not only did they not go out, but they immediately "puffed" and burned, like oil falling into a fire, and the fire suddenly exploded several feet high.

The surrounding restrictions were almost ignited. Ji Yuan was shocked and hurriedly controlled it carefully, condensing the entire Samadhi Fire into a fire lotus the size of a washbasin, which he wrapped around the divine copper and burned it.

The Samadhi Fire can burn everything. If it really burns through, the numerous restrictions will not be able to stop it. The entire Moon-Watching Tower and even the entire Sutra Hall may be burned down. That would be a disaster.

Ji Yuan was not surprised that Samadhi Fire could burn the innate energy.

This is only to be expected.

Probably because this divine fire has been extremely powerful since its creation, Ji Yuan has tested it many times.

Whether it is invisible air, visible gold, silver, copper, iron, or wind, thunder, lightning, and clouds, as long as it touches the Samadhi fire, it will become fuel and will further help the fire.

Even the essence of the cold pond in the water will be ignited by the Samadhi Fire.

Once released, the flame will not go out as long as the magic power is not destroyed. Having absorbed the fire from the wood of the Wood Mother and the fire from the gemstone of the Sui Emperor, it has begun to possess the nature of being able to burn everything and being indestructible.

The only drawback is that there is too little real fire; just a tiny flame.

Ji Yuan was only worried that the Samadhi Fire was still a little short of completely transforming into the innate state, and the temperature might not be high enough to refine the divine copper.

Under the burning flames, the golden copper light gradually dimmed, a "sizzling" sound was heard, and it gradually turned a little red.

"Great!" Ji Yuan was overjoyed and quickly increased his magic power to urge the Samadhi Fire to continue burning.

This is the sign that the divine copper is being refined.

If one follows the method of cultivating magic weapons in this world, one would use the intercourse of spirit and soul to slowly communicate with the spiritual power of the magic weapon. This process might take thousands or tens of thousands of years.

The shape and restrictions of the treasures made in this way are uncertain; they may be affected by one's own skills and magical powers; for example, if one is practicing water magic, then the magic copper may turn into a magic weapon, a treasure basin, a golden bowl, etc.

And the divine fire refines treasures.

It is to forcibly suppress the spirituality of the treasure, shape it with extremely powerful firepower, and artificially engrave the treasure ban to make it become the desired form and have the desired function.

This is basically unique in this world, because innate spiritual treasures are not afraid of fire at all.

Ji Yuan wanted to transform it into the magic weapon Bagua Furnace, and use it to prove the great divine power [Samadhi True Fire].

The day when the furnace is completed is the day when the divine fire is fully developed.

If it could be refined into a magic weapon, then the Samadhi True Fire would surpass the attainments of calling the wind and rain, moving mountains and filling the sea, and it would also be possible for Ji Yuan to have his first truly complete magical power.

Rather than just the true seed of supernatural power, it is the prototype of supernatural power.

Not only that, with the Bagua Furnace, the other spiritual treasures can be quickly refined into various magic weapons.

Ji Yuan looked at the divine copper being continuously burned and tempered by the Samadhi Fire with full anticipation.

In the blink of an eye, one day passed.

The divine copper turned a shade of red again.

But it never softened like ordinary gold and iron.

“Once the Samadhi Fire is burning, ordinary gold and iron will instantly vaporize. It’s actually impossible to completely refine the divine copper?” Ji Yuan glared.

It’s not impossible to refine it.

But it cannot be completely refined in a short period of time.

Just like the three-foot-thick ice, it doesn’t form overnight.

"According to the current progress, it will probably take at least a hundred years." Ji Yuan was starting to get a little crazy.

It’s only because the Samadhi Fire has not been completely transformed into the Innate Fire.

There is fire in the wood, which can burn the essence of plants and trees, and has a gentle and continuous nature.

There is fire in the stone, which is violent and furious, and all things have the nature of burning.

But there is still one kind missing, a divine fire with extremely high temperature that can reverse the innate nature.

Even so, if word got out that it took a hundred years to refine a spiritual treasure, it would probably be shocking.

Which spiritual treasure is not the product of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation? Even the supreme treasure of Hongmeng Divine Copper needs at least six or seven thousand years of cultivation before it has a chance to be refined.

"This is a dead end; I can only endure it. Fortunately, the Flint Stone also contains some innate mysteries." Ji Yuan pondered in his heart.

Need fire to prove the innate; achieve the supreme true fire.

You have to refine a magic weapon and achieve success with the help of the innate Taoist rhyme.

To refine a magic weapon, one must obtain the innate power of fire.

Otherwise, you can only rely on time to get through it.

As for the other kind of fire other than the fire in stone and the fire in wood, it is the heavenly fire, that is, the fire in the air.

This is not easy to obtain.

If you can obtain heavenly fire, you can accelerate the transformation of Samadhi fire and turn it into innate.

The Heavenly Fire is in the chaos outside the universe. It is not a question of whether one can go there or not. Even if one goes there, it is extremely dangerous for even the 'Golden Immortal Great Sage' who has cultivated an immortal body there. If one is not careful, one may not be able to find the way back.

The Samadhi Fire is formed by the mixture of Ji Yuan's essence, Qi, and Spirit. It may take thousands or tens of thousands of years to fully cultivate it naturally.

But no matter whether it is the fire in the wood, the fire in the stone, or the fire in the air, they are all the divine fire of heaven and earth that can help to fully cultivate the Samadhi Fire. When integrated into the Samadhi, tens of thousands of years can be shortened to a few years.

It is basically impossible to find fire in the air now.

We can only rely on the Flint Stone. Fortunately, this Flint Stone is the fire treasure passed down by Flint Emperor and has some innate characteristics. After being refined for a period of time alone, the power of the Samadhi Fire has skyrocketed by twice.

The flint, which was as big as an egg, also turned into something as small as a marble.

If a few more months are given to completely refine and fuse the Flint Stone, the power of the Samadhi Fire will be further enhanced.

By then, the Samadhi Fire will have reached its ultimate level, and the speed of refining the divine copper may even become faster.

The Samadhi fire that burned the divine copper turned into wisps of flames and entered Ji Yuan's body through his eyes, ears, mouth, nose and seven orifices.

I have been in the Moon-Watching Tower for a whole day. If I don't go out, the elder who guards the Yin-Yang scriptures might send someone to look for me.

The divine bronze gradually cooled down, and the misty atmosphere and majestic auspicious splendor bloomed again.

It seems like nothing has changed.

"Ah..." Ji Yuan was shocked.

He pointed uncertainly.

The divine bronze moved even slightly.

"So that's how it is! Fire Refining is no different from Soul Intercourse. Both require one to fill the innate spiritual treasure with one's own will in order to achieve control."

Ji Yuan could feel that there was a real connection between him and the divine copper.

It's extremely faint, but not false or an illusion.

There is a trace of his consciousness within the divine bronze.

The essence of Samadhi Fire is essence, energy and spirit: using this divine fire to burn the innate spiritual treasure is to imprint one's own essence, energy and spirit in the spiritual treasure.

Until it is completely in harmony with one's own spiritual energy.

There is no essential difference between this and the method of refining treasures with the soul.

One is a quick one, but it cannot reveal the mysteries of the spiritual treasure; the other is gentler and slower, and can only comprehend some of the mysteries of the spiritual treasure.

If one can thoroughly comprehend the mysteries of Lingbao, one may be able to advance one's cultivation level and master various magic skills.

But to Ji Yuan, it was useless. As long as he could cultivate the magic weapon and attain the Samadhi True Fire supernatural power, it would be a thousand times better than these minor tricks.

"Great, great! If I keep going like this, it won't be long before I can restrain the divine copper light and won't have to enter this Sutra Hall to refine treasures anymore." Ji Yuan was delighted.

The reason for refining treasures in the Sutra Hall is not for anything else, but only because these numerous restrictions can block the light of the treasures.

Once the innate spiritual treasure appears, the precious light and auspicious aura will sweep across millions of miles, shocking the whole universe and attracting powerful people from all over the world to grab the treasure.

If one can control and restrain the precious light and auspicious aura, so that the treasure is covered with dust and the divine object is obscured, then one can find a random place to retreat and refine it for a few years, and then one can completely refine it and cultivate it into an Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Ji Yuan put away the divine bronze, walked down the Moon Watching Tower, left the Yin-Yang Department, and went directly to the Kuixing Tower of the Yuanchen Department to practice that night.

The next morning, he went directly into the Moon-Watching Tower, the core of the Yin-Yang Department, to refine the divine copper with the Samadhi Fire.

Every day.

In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.

It has been four months since Ji Yuan took office as the deacon of the Sutra Repository, and three months since he began to cultivate divine bronze with divine fire.

This day, on the top floor of Wangyue Tower.

The deep red and extremely high temperature Samadhi fire wrapped around the divine copper.

Over the past few months, the sacred copper has changed from yellow to red, then from red to blue-black, and then back to red again.

This is the achievement of refining the body and quality.

The flint stone was only the size of a soybean, and the power of the Samadhi Fire increased several times.

Ji Yuan closed his eyes slightly. Following the slight connection with the divine copper, it seemed as if the surrounding world changed, and he came to the world of infinite golden wind, golden light, and endless divine copper energy.

This is the interior of the sacred bronze.

As the Samadhi fire burns, fiery red talismans are continuously engraved inside the divine copper.

About one percent of the entire divine copper has turned into a fiery red color, containing densely packed fiery red talismans.

If the entire divine copper is completely transformed into the fiery red true symbol of the [Eight Trigrams Furnace], then the divine copper will soften instantly and turn into the shape of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, forming a unique treasure ban that can absorb all the fires in the world.

Ji Yuan opened his eyes, and the flame that was refining the divine copper was withdrawn into his body through the seven orifices.

The divine bronze cooled down again, and the air became misty and auspicious, just like it was at the beginning.

The innate divine copper even turned into a golden rainbow and flew around in the pavilion, attempting to break through the constraints of the ban and turn into a rainbow to escape into the chaos outside the sky.

Ji Yuan reached out and grabbed it.

The rainbow light stopped and turned into a divine bronze shape, flying into his hands, dyeing Ji Yuan's temples and clothes into a rosy glow.

This was the first time Ji Yuan touched it directly with his hands.

The divine copper is over ten feet long and as thick as a man's waist, weighing billions of kilograms. If it can be wielded skillfully, just throwing it to hit someone will be no less powerful than the current top magic weapon, the Heaven-Flipping Seal.

But in Ji Yuan's hand, it didn't weigh much and he picked it up easily.

This was because after three months of diligent practice every day, Ji Yuan had finally refined about one thousandth of the divine copper.

"My dear, I wish you could be smaller and thinner." Ji Yuan said tentatively.

One breath passed.

Counting breaths passed.

The divine bronze did not change.

After all, it is not the Ruyi Jingu Bang or the Iron-clad Soldier.

“Once you refine the magic weapon, everything will go as you wish.” Ji Yuan didn’t care.

The magical instruments of this world cannot change their size.

Only magic weapons can change their size and shape at will.

"Go!"

When the thought arises, part of the self-consciousness within the divine bronze is aroused.

The innate divine bronze actually sparkled with golden light.

Ji Yuan stretched out his hand and threw it.

The divine bronze rolled in the air and then stood lightly on the ground. It was about ten feet tall and as thick as a human waist, shining brightly with countless rays of light.

It is so auspicious that it actually looks a bit like the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.

He pointed again.

The hazy air, the rosy clouds, and the auspicious colorful mist suddenly disappeared and converged.

The entire divine bronze light dimmed, from golden yellow to a pitch-black iron pillar standing on the ground.

There was no longer any trace of the divine power of the innate spiritual treasure, and the divine object had completely disappeared.

“Great, great, great. This way, no one can tell that this is an innate spiritual treasure unless they take a closer look.” Ji Yuan was delighted.

With the help of some of the will in the divine copper, he was able to barely operate this treasure and make it retract the glow. Months of hard work had not been in vain and he finally achieved results.

At this moment, if you don't hold this divine bronze in your hand and look closely, you would really mistake it for an ordinary black iron pillar.

Using magic power to scan it, there was nothing unusual.

It is only possible to see it unless a Qi Refiner holds it in his hand and examines it carefully.

In this way, there is no need to risk entering the Sutra Hall to practice the divine copper. You can take it out and smelt it anytime and anywhere.

It can even be thrown at people.

This innate spiritual treasure is extremely powerful, and can burst out with billions of kilograms of divine power. It is no worse than the Fantian Seal, but it does not have the mysterious power to bind the void like the Fantian Seal.

It's really a pity that the Fantian Seal was lost.

He was only one step away from making the magic weapon, but failed because the material was too poor.

If it really becomes a magic weapon, it may become the most important treasure in the world.

This "heavy" means weight.

With one seal, the heaven and earth are destroyed. No magic weapon can surpass the Heaven-Flipping Seal in terms of power.

Moreover, the real mystery of the Fantian Seal does not lie in gravity. It can instantly burst out billions of tons of divine power, which is already the limit.

The truly magical thing is the invisible binding force; once you are illuminated by the Heaven-Flipping Seal, the void will solidify and there will be no escape, and you can only watch the trillion-pound Heaven-Flipping Seal slowly fall.

This power, similar to cause and effect, is the true magic of the Heaven-Flipping Seal.

As long as you use the Heaven-Flipping Seal, no matter how powerful your profound skills are or how indestructible you are, you will still have to take a hit before you can move on. There is no way to avoid it.

I can only say that it is worthy of being a mythical treasure.

The Fantian Seal possesses this kind of magical power similar to cause and effect, and the Bagua Furnace must also have it.

What exactly it is, you will only know when you master it.

Due to limited materials, the Fantian Seal fell one step short of becoming a magic weapon, and Ji Yuan felt deeply regretful.

This time the materials were used to the fullest extent, directly using the innate spiritual treasure. Ji Yuan didn't believe that it couldn't become a real magic weapon.

"You can also add green coral and refine it into a furnace cover. This way, only 90% of the divine copper will be used, and there will be a small part left. You can try to refine the Heaven-Flipping Seal or other magic weapons in the future."

"The Emerald Coral is also a magical treasure, and it has many mysteries. It will give the Eight Trigrams Furnace a subduing power, making it difficult for all treasures, people, and immortals that enter the furnace to escape. It can also add many magical uses."

Ji Yuan was pondering in his heart when he heard footsteps downstairs. As he thought about it, the innate divine bronze rose up and fell into the treasure bag and was put away.

Just collected the sacred copper.

A young man dressed in Sutra Repository clothing has already walked up to the top floor. "Alas! There are countless restrictions on the top of the Moon Viewing Tower. No sunlight can enter. Why is it so hot?"

This was the heat wave from the Samadhi Fire refining the divine copper, and the anger had not yet completely dissipated.

Even the monks couldn't stand the heat.

"Hahaha, I'm practicing fire magic, and I gained some insights from reading the scriptures just now, so I'm a little angry about this. Junior brother, come up, is there anything?" Ji Yuan changed the subject calmly.

"What a powerful fire technique! Deacon, please be careful. If these heavenly books are set on fire, it will be a catastrophic disaster that we cannot afford."

The man was sweating profusely from the heat, and could not help but quickly retreat before saying, "Just now, someone from Tenghai Peak came to see Senior Brother, saying that the Master of Lingmiao Peak wanted to see him for something."

"I see. Thank you for informing me, Junior Brother."

"I've already told the deacon brother. I'll leave first. It's too hot up here."

Ji Yuan also followed him down the Moon Watching Tower and out of the Yin-Yang Department, where he saw Chen Hai and Yu Qi waiting for him outside the courtyard.

"What does Senior Sister Ling Miao want to call us for?" Ji Yuan was puzzled.

He and Chen Hai haven't returned to Tenghai Peak for three months. They have been living in the Sutra Hall and have not cared about the affairs of Tenghai Peak.

This sudden summons must mean something's up.

"Master called us together and said that the two uncles would understand once they went there." Yu Qi bowed.

"Let's go!" Ji Yuan frowned, swept his sleeves, and several feet of wind wrapped around the two of them and flew directly into the air.

The wind swept through the air, drifting for thousands of miles.

Flying is not allowed in the Sutra Repository; but Ji Yuan is not an ordinary disciple, but a member of the management.

So when the law enforcement disciples saw this, they not only ignored it, but also greeted Ji Yuan from afar with a fawning look on their faces.

The law only restricts ordinary people and never restricts the privileged class.

A few hours later.

The three of them landed in front of Tenghai Palace and entered the main hall of Tenghai Palace, with Lingmiao sitting at the top.

There were about ten monks sitting below, and all the monks from Tenghai Peak had arrived.

There was no alcohol at the table, everyone looked serious, there was no cheerful atmosphere, it was obviously not a banquet.

After Ji Yuan and Chen Hai performed a half-bow, they sat down below Ling Miao.

Now in the entire Tenghai Palace, Lingmiao Zhenren has the highest status, Ji Yuan is second, Chen Hai is next, and below him are Yuqi Tong and everyone else.

"My two junior brothers, you are enjoying yourself in the Sutra Hall. You haven't come back for several months. Have you been negligent or has someone offended you?" Ling Miao looked at them and said with a smile.

Ji Yuan frowned slightly: "Senior sister, there is no need to put up any pretext to test us. Since the two of us are here, we are from Tenghai Peak. If you have any instructions, please feel free to arrange them."

Ling Miao's words were full of hidden meanings. She was testing whether Ji Yuan and the other two were still in Tenghai Palace.

After all, she thought that the two of them were now under the management of the Sutra Repository, and Ji Yuan was in a high position of power and was qualified to leave Tenghai Peak.

Even if he does not establish his own lineage, such magical power and status will make other lineages try to win him over and strive for him.

Ji Yuan and Chen Hai could have returned without following the decree.

But since Ling Miao sent someone to invite them and never treated them badly and was very nice to them, and it happened that Ji Yuan had nothing to do recently, so he decided to come back.

Anyway, I have finished reading most of the books I needed to read over the past few months. I have refined a bit of the divine copper and can already gather the precious light. I can practice anytime and anywhere, so there is not much point in waiting in the Sutra Hall.

I also have to figure out how to get the trial admission ticket worth 5 million merit points within the remaining year and a half.

Ling Miao's expression froze slightly when he heard this, then turned into a smile: "Okay, I do need your help. Now that everyone is here, let's get straight to the point."
