Reforging Star River Myriad Blades

Hehe, Little A, you clearly still don't understand your host.

Although the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak is the sixth of the six divine artifacts, it is useful for both self-defense and escape.

But if we're really talking about it, what could possibly move your heart as much as "When the Milky Way appears, the world is transformed"?

Let's put it this way: Lu Ping always wore the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak and rain.

As for the Star River Myriad Blades, it lies inside Lu Ping's body every day and is rarely used, perhaps only once a year.

Have you not heard of things like clothes...?

Little Five Wu, in the end, I gave my heart to the wrong person.

Lu Ping chose B.

[You chose B.]

A silver nebula flew out from your Dantian and hovered in front of you.

[You begin upgrading the Star River Myriad Blades.]

[Using the Small Heavens Cloud Restriction True Method as the general framework, you have integrated and reconstructed the original Restrictions of the Star River Myriad Blades.]

[The original structure of the Star River Myriad Blades was based on Hundred-Blade Ring composed of one hundred and eight flying blades.]

[Ten rings combined form Thousand-Blade River; a hundred rings merging together create a Myriad-Blade Star River of ten thousand eight hundred stars.]

[While this direct lineage of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect is exquisite, it also limits the potential for further advancement of Law Treasure.]

[Now you've taken a different approach, using a single flying blade as the smallest unit.]

[For every 150 flying blades you take, use the Cloud Restriction Technique to connect and refine them into a complete Earthly Fiend Restriction.]

[The 10,800 flying blades combined together make up exactly 72 Earthly Fiends.]

This is destined to be an extremely mentally taxing and time-consuming process.

Even if you have all the "working class" Trait maxed out and possess seven times the efficiency, it's not something you can achieve overnight.

[You summoned the Moon Palace Fire-Devouring Furnace and officially began your secluded cultivation.]

[Work from Home, effective.]

[Exclusive Workstation, activated.]

[Multiskilling, effective.]

[The Artisan Spirit is now in effect.]

[Workaholic, effective.]

[...]

[Inside the stone hall, flames rose from the furnace, and silver flying blades darted up and down in the firelight.]

Time flew by amidst the clanging and hammering sounds of forging.

[In the blink of an eye, spring has turned to autumn.]

[Age 31, 13 years of service.]

[Trait being generated...]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Trait: Coworker 50-50 Split (Level C) -- A meticulous employee who never feels cheated when sharing meals or dining out, insisting that everyone pay half.]

[Should we change the Trait?]

Ah?!

Lu Ping stared at the new Trait on the screen and blinked.

If this Trait were applied to workplaces on Blue Star, it would be a godsend for socially anxious people.

Every time the department Team Building dinner, I no longer have to fight with those greasy old men to pay the bill; nor do I have to take the blame for those green tea bitches who only order expensive dishes and don't pay.

Think of how much Mental Involution this will reduce!

No, he's already equipped with [Mental Involution], and he's constantly scaring himself to increase his Divine Sense.

Besides, who in the cultivation world would split the bill with you for a meal?

Before engaging in combat with an enemy, should I first approach them with a bill and say, "Fellow Daoist, I'll throw ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones at you later; let's split the cost equally, half for each of us"?

Oh?! It seems like it's not impossible.

Lu Ping chose not to change.

[You choose not to change.]

[You ignored the newly appearing useless Trait and continued to immerse yourself in the great work of Artifact Refining.]

[Until this day, the last wisp of Cloud Restriction was imprinted into the ten thousand eight hundredth flying blade.]

[You have spent a year finally completing the Seventy-Two Earthly Sha Restrictions of the Star River Myriad Blades.]

[You have seven times the work efficiency as a foundation, an Artisan Spirit, ten times the energy restored by Quality Sleep, and the ability to calm a restless State of Mind like a lazy Salty Fish.]

[You worked almost non-stop throughout the year.]

[The hard work you've put into Artifact Refining this year would be equivalent to twenty or thirty years of hard work for any other Artifact Refiner.]

[Ten thousand eight hundred flying blades were divided into seventy-two groups within the stone hall, their energy interconnected, subtly forming a miniature constellation.]

[Options pop up.]

[A: To be on the safe side, let's rest for a while first.]

[B: With one burst of energy! Activate the Small Heavens Cloud Restriction True Method, combine the seventy-two Earthly Fiends into one, and condense the Heavenly Gang Cloud Restriction!]

[C: You pull out a bottle of super glue and pour it onto the flying blade: "What's with all this mystical Formation Technique? Physical adhesion is the best! As long as the glue is thick enough, even Heavenly Demon would have to have its skin peeled off!"]

Little A's words probably had a hidden meaning.

However, a man with a cheat code has nothing to fear!

Lu Ping chose B.

[You chose B.]

[You form a hand seal, your inner Primordial Spirit opens its eyes, and a vast amount of Primordial Spirit Power pours out.]

["Combine!"]

[You gave a low shout.]

A clear chime rang out from inside the stone hall.

[The seventy-two flying blades suspended in mid-air trembled simultaneously, and countless intricate Cloud Restriction Array Patterns peeled off from their blades, intertwining and colliding in mid-air.]

[Earthly Fiends Transform into Heavenly Gang.]

[Under the guidance of your Primordial Spirit, the seventy-two Earthly Sha Cloud Restrictions begin to merge, ultimately transforming into a single Heavenly Gang Cloud Restriction.]

[As the Heavenly Gang Restriction, the entire stone hall was filled with a dazzling silvery-white light.]

[Just a moment later, all the dazzling light receded back into the blade.]

[The 10,800 flying blades have transformed back into an inconspicuous nebula, slowly swirling in your palm.]

[The moment the Star River Myriad Blades was forged, your Primordial Spirit felt an emptiness, and you fell straight back.]

[A nebula flashed in your palm and flew into your body on its own.]

[At the same time, a burst of fire shot out from your Dantian, landing and transforming into a drab gray Crow.]

[The Crow tilted its head, looked at you lying on the ground, and sighed helplessly.]

This family will fall apart without crows.

[Before you passed out, you seemed to hear Little A asking softly,]

"Are you wrong?"

Lu Ping: "..."

Lu Ping felt as if the system was asking him if he was wrong.

I remember the first time I tried to chain the Hundred-Blade Rings, I exhausted my Divine Sense and fainted...

[Quality Sleep, effective.]

[Several hours later, you awoke again. Your Divine Sense was full, and your Primordial Spirit was even more solidified.]

[Indeed, the best way to enhance the strength of Primordial Spirit is to drain Primordial Spirit completely and then restore it.]

[Just like back then, you went from the Hundred-Blade Rings to the Thousand-Blade Rivers, and then to the Myriad-Blade Star River.]

[When you push your Divine Sense to its absolute limit, your Divine Sense also rapidly improves.]

[Hehehe, I, Hu Hanshan, am back!]

[You haven't even reflected on your recklessness.]

[It seems that Windbreath Ravine has truly become your lair.]

[You summoned Star River Myriad Blades, and a nebula swirled before you.]

[Judging by appearance alone, it is exactly the same as it was a year ago.]

[But since you are connected to your Life-Bound Law Treasure by mind and spirit, you will naturally understand the changes involved.]

[Although this Life-Bound Law Treasure is still classified as Supreme Law Treasure, its fundamental nature has undergone a complete transformation.]

[The original Star River Myriad Blades had reached the end of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect's legacy. Now, with the foundation of Cloud Restriction, infinite possibilities have opened up ahead...]
