Synthesizing a Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact! (4K)

"I have finally refined all the Yin Sha Qi of Iron Sword Pass. It's time to return to my sect."

Xu Jing absorbed all the Yin Sha Qi of Iron Sword Pass, summoned the Flying Sword behind him, and returned to Taihua Mountain.

The Yin Sha Qi that had accumulated over the years at Iron Sword Pass has vanished, replaced by a dilapidated fortress. The difference is, the eerie atmosphere of the past is gone.

Xu Jing returned to Taihua Mountain.

At this time, only the Ninth Senior Brother, Dugu Aotian, was cultivating Devil Cultivation Method on Yuntai Peak, while the other senior brothers Senior Sisters were out on training.

"I already knew you would return. Come to my cave abode, and I will pass on my skills to you."

Xu Jing had just returned to Yuntai Peak when the voice of his master, Xu Jing Lu Changsheng, echoed in his mind, which surprised him.

Your master truly lives up to his reputation.

Xu Jing arrived at Lu Changsheng's cave abode and received Lu Changsheng's Transmission Empowerment.

A Qi Sea of powerful True Qi emanated from the Heavenly Spirit, filling Xu Jing's Dantian and causing a significant boost to his cultivation.

"Now that you have returned to your sect, I have a Law Treasure to bestow upon you."

Lu Changsheng took out an Upper-Grade Sacred Artifact.

This is a longsword, thin as a cicada's wing and translucent, yet exuding Long Sword of bone-chilling cold. Faintly, one can even see a soul struggling within the blade.

This sword is tainted by the Yin Sha Qi of the Netherworld Realm, and the spirit it possesses is also filled with Yin Qi energy.

With the help of Huowen, the daughter of the Torch Dragon Clan leader, Lu Changsheng exchanged a batch of the Netherworld Realm Law Treasure, treasures, and Cultivation Method from the Netherworld with the Torch Dragon Clan Tribe.

This Upper-Grade Sacred Artifact, the "Yin Sword," was Sacred Artifact -level magic Law Treasure that Lu Changsheng bestowed upon Xu Jing as a reward from the system after exchanging Netherworld Realm Law Treasure for it.

Lu Changsheng then distributed the Law Treasures he had received as a system reward.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Xu Jing the Upper-Grade Sacred Artifact "Yin Sword," receiving Thousandfold Ten-Thousandfold Return Reward earned from mentoring: Dao Artifact Fragment x1.]

The Apprentice-Teaching Simulator triggered a return of tens of millions of times, directly rewarding the user with a Dao Artifact Fragment.

At this point, Lu Changsheng possessed eighteen Dao Artifact Fragment.

"Ding! You now possess eighteen Dao Artifact Fragments, meeting the minimum requirements for synthesizing Dao-Proving Law Treasure. Would you like to synthesize the Dao-Proving Law Treasure or keep the fragments?"

Eighteen Dao Artifact Fragment can be combined to create Dao Artifact?

"Synthesis."

Lu Changsheng chose to synthesize Dao Artifact.

There will be other opportunities to obtain Dao Artifact Fragments in the future, but for now, it's best to have a Dao Artifact for self-defense.

"Ding! You have consumed eighteen Dao Artifact Fragments to synthesize Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact — the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda."

An eight-story Treasure Pagoda made of bronze appeared within Lu Changsheng's Inner World.

This Treasure Pagoda has eight sides, each carved with a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon.

The entire Treasure Pagoda exuded an ancient aura from the Primordial Era, causing the world within Lu Changsheng's Inner World to tremble violently, almost collapsing under the weight of the Treasure Pagoda.

The Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda sensed that the world created within Lu Changsheng's body was threatened by the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda, so it shone brightly to resist the Primordial Era aura of the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda.

Not only the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, but also Law Treasures such as the Azure Emperor Sword, the Nameless Ancient Cauldron, and the Earth Book have stirred. These Law Treasures have joined forces to suppress the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda.

The spirit of the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda was surprised to find that Lu Changsheng possessed so many Law Treasures, some of which were of a higher grade than itself, and immediately dared not act recklessly.

"Could this Law Treasure be the Dao-Proving Law Treasure of the Dragon-Subduing God King?"

Lu Changsheng recalled reading in an ancient book that 120 million years ago, a Rogue Cultivator with monstrous talent appeared in the Immortal Realm. His cultivation broke through to the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage, and he even went to the Dragon Clan Tribe in the Yao Realm to slaughter dozens of True Dragons, including many powerful Dragon Clan who had reached the Great Perfection of the Immortal Emperor Realm. The major Holy Lands and sects of the Immortal Realm called him the "Dragon-Subduing God King".

The Law Treasure he used, the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda, was originally Upper-Grade Emperor Armament commissioned to the Haotian Holy Land for forging. Later, with the successful attainment of enlightenment by the Dragon-Subduing God King, and the Dragon-Subduing God King commissioning the Haotian Holy Land to reforge this Law Treasure, it finally became Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact.

Later, the whereabouts of this God King became unknown. Rumors in the Immortal Realm circulated that the Dragon-Subduing God King was killed in retaliation by the Dragon Clan, and his Dao-Proving Law Treasure also disappeared without a trace.

"It is said that even Dragon Clan powerhouse at the Great Perfection of the Immortal Emperor Realm cannot escape once imprisoned in the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda."

Lu Changsheng knew that this was a top-grade magic Law Treasure used to suppress and detain powerful enemies.

The Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda is Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact; even if you just throw it out like a brick, it can still injure Immortal Emperor.

Lu Changsheng poured his True Qi into the Eight Desolate Dragon- Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda, and with tremendous effort, he barely managed to refine it.

The original owner of the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda, the Dragon-Subduing God King, has perished, so the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda is now ownerless. During the refining process, Lu Changsheng also mastered the Mnemonic of the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda.

As long as you possess the Mnemonic for obtaining Dao Artifact, the Law Treasure will not be easily taken by the opponent.

"Use a Simulated Battle opportunity."

Lu Changsheng was eager to test the power of the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda.

The scene before him changed, the light dimmed abruptly, and Lu Changsheng appeared in the Nine Serenities Forbidden Land. The enemy simulated by the system was the headless corpse that Lu Changsheng and Dantai Meng had fought together.

This headless corpse was six hundred feet tall, wielding a Demon Blade whose blade gleamed with a terrifying light.

Although the headless corpse was merely an enemy simulated by the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator, Lu Changsheng still felt a terrifying sense of oppression.

The headless corpse possessed strength equivalent to Great Perfection Immortal Emperor, and could continuously absorb the Yin Sha Qi within the Nine Serenities Forbidden Land to repair its physical body.

In the Nine Serenities Forbidden Land, this headless corpse was undoubtedly a powerful and terrifying existence.

If Dantai Meng hadn't possessed the Dao Artifact "Eternal Dream Bell," even if Dantai Meng and Lu Changsheng joined forces, they might not have been able to defeat the headless corpse.

Facing the powerful headless corpse, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and frantically circulated his Cultivation Method, sending vast True Qi into the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda.

The moment Lu Changsheng activated the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda with all his might, he felt his True Qi rapidly draining away, like a dam collapsing, spiraling out of control.

"Not good."

Lu Changsheng realized that he had used too much force. A massive amount of True Qi surged into the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda. If this continued, Lu Changsheng would be exhausted and die because his True Qi was drained!

"Go!"

Lu Changsheng quickly summoned the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda.

At this moment, the True Qi provided by Lu Changsheng was not enough to unleash even one-tenth of the Law Power the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda.

The Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda grew to a height of eight hundred feet, with flames soaring into the sky. The eight five-clawed golden dragons on the tower seemed to come alive, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

The Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda pressed down to suppress the headless corpse.

The headless corpse gripped the Demon Blade in both hands, facing off against the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the ground beneath the headless corpse cracked, and the fissures spread rapidly in all directions.

The headless corpse's six-hundred-foot-long body sank downwards, and even the Demon Blade developed small cracks.

This headless corpse may have been a God King in life, or perhaps this Demon Blade was a Dao Artifact.

However, his corpse and Law Treasure, after countless years and the erosion of the Sha Qi of the Nine Serenities, were no longer as good as they used to be, and the Demon Blade's grade had also degenerated into Emperor Weapon.

"Destroy!"

Lu Changsheng desperately manipulated the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda to suppress the headless corpse, intending to kill it with a single blow.

The Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda was shaking violently, and the headless corpse's body was still sinking.

The terrifying pressure of the Dao Artifact caused the headless corpse extreme discomfort, and countless cracks appeared on its body.

The Yin Sha Qi of the Nine Serenities Forbidden Land flowed continuously like dark clouds into the headless corpse, repairing its body.

"Stop."

Lu Changsheng finished the simulation.

Sweat had soaked through Lu Changsheng's Daoist Robe, and Lu Changsheng looked as if he had been pulled out of a pool of water.

As Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact, the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda consumes an excessive amount of True Qi.

Lu Changsheng, Immortal Emperor Fourth Stage and a top expert in his field, couldn't even last long when he used less than one-tenth of the Law Power the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda.

"This headless corpse is truly formidable. I used the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda, but I still couldn't destroy it directly. No, if I could unleash more than a third of the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda's Law Power, I could Body and Spirit Annihilation."

"Using Dantai Meng's bell- Dao Artifact is less strenuous than using the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda, but its power is far greater. A single shake is enough to severely injure a headless corpse, something the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda cannot do. This means that her bell- Dao Artifact is of a higher grade than the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda. Could it be Eighth-Grade Dao Artifact? Or perhaps Seventh-Grade Dao Artifact?"

Lu Changsheng finally understood why the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable had given the Eternal Dream Bell to Dantai Meng for self-defense.

The Eternal Dream Bell is of a higher grade than the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda. However, the Eternal Dream Bell is easier to activate than the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda, making it perfect for a master like Dantai Meng who is at the Immortal Emperor Realm level.

Lu Changsheng was not discouraged because the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda was inferior to the Eternal Dream Bell.

Dantai Meng was, after all Daughter of the Illusory Nether Demon Venerable, who was one of the Great Expert in the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable with the Demon Realm influence and numerous Law Treasures. That's why Dantai Meng had Dao Artifact- level Law Treasure for self-defense.

Even the Saint and Saintess of the major Holy Land do not receive such treatment.

Lu Changsheng also has Apprentice-Teaching Simulator, and in the future, he can synthesize other Dao-Proving Law Treasure.

To synthesize Dao Artifact, at least eighteen Dao Artifact Fragments are required.

Lu Changsheng consumed eighteen Dao Artifact Fragments to synthesize the Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact, the "Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda".

So, does that mean the more Dao Artifact Fragments you accumulate, the higher the grade of the synthesized Dao Artifact?

"If I collect a thousand Dao Artifact Fragment, I wonder if I can synthesize First-Rank Dao Artifact?"

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but feel anticipation.

The Dao Artifact are divided into high and low grades.

The Law Power of First-Rank Dao Artifact far surpasses that of Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact.

If the Dao-Proving Law Treasure are the Mountain-Suppressing Treasures of each Holy Land, then the First-Rank Dao Artifacts are the Mountain-Suppressing Treasures among Mountain-Suppressing Treasures, the very foundation upon which Holy Land is founded.

Lu Changsheng has not yet witnessed the true power of the Dao Artifact.

Neither Dantai Meng's Eternal Dream Bell nor Lu Changsheng's Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda displayed their full power, which was less than one-tenth of what it should have been.

At the Yaochi Conference, the Yaochi Holy Mother's Yaochi Dao Artifact, the "Plain-Colored Cloud-Realm Banner," was not actually used; it was merely used to set up Barrier.

Furthermore, the "Myriad-Flower Divine Parasol," the Dao-Proving Law Treasure of the Taihua Goddess that Lin Qinghan obtained from the Divine Maiden Dao Ruins, is also no ordinary item.

The term "ordinary items" here does not refer to ordinary Law Treasures, but rather to ordinary Dao Artifacts.

"There's plenty of time ahead. I'll continue to cultivate cautiously and accumulate Dao Artifact Fragments. One Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact is enough for self-defense. Next time, when I have more Dao Artifact Fragments, I'll synthesize Dao Artifact."

With Lu Changsheng's cultivation at the Immortal Emperor Fourth Stage, he couldn't even unleash one-tenth of the Law Power of the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda, let alone a higher-level Dao Artifact.

Even if Lu Changsheng obtained First-Rank Dao Artifact, he might not be able to move it an inch.

This is like giving a kindergarten child a peerless sword; they still can't lift it.

Lu Changsheng already possesses a Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact, which is already extraordinary. In addition, he also has the Taiyin Goddess Talisman as a trump card. Even if he encounters Great Perfection Immortal Emperor, Lu Changsheng will no longer be powerless to fight back.

"Four thousand years later, I still need to go to Yellow Dragon Mountain to help my Fourth Disciple, Shen Xiaoyao, out of his predicament. The Evil Extremity Sect is not a villainous Sects to be trifled with."

Lu Changsheng knew that the Stars Pavilion where Tang Ling’er and Tang Wansan were located had been destroyed by the Evil Extremity Sect, and the Evil Extremity Sect was still hunting down Tang Ling’er and Shen Xiaoyao.

The Evil Extremity Sect is a Sects founded by a group of wicked people who take pleasure in doing evil and are capable of any kind of wickedness; they can be regarded as a group of lunatics.

They destroyed the Stars Pavilion, yet they still relentlessly pursued Shen Xiaoyao and Tang Ling’er.

This demonstrates the madness of this group.

Tang Ling’er sought refuge with Lu Changsheng accepted Tang Ling’er as Outer Sect Disciple.

In the Mortal Realm, Tang Ling’er's aptitude would qualify her to become Lu Changsheng's Personal Disciple. However, after arriving in the Immortal Realm, the disciple-acceptance conditions of the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator became even more stringent, and Tang Ling’er's Pure Yin Body was insufficient to meet the requirements.

Unless Tang Ling’er's Pure Yin Body merges with Shen Xiaoyao's Pure Yang Body to form a new Special Physique, she will not meet the requirements for accepting disciples in the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator.

Shen Xiaoyao is Child of Destiny, his fate is not yet sealed, so Lu Changsheng should still step in to save him.

In addition, Lu Changsheng also wanted to find out the origin of the Evil Extremity Sect.

The records of the Evil Extremity Sect in the Taihua Sacred Ground only say that this group of people are a bunch of lunatics who cultivate purely for the purpose of doing evil, and they enjoy it immensely.

As for the earliest group of Evil Cultivators who established the Evil Extremity Sect, and who the current sect leader of the Evil Extremity Sect is, and what their relationship is with the Star Immortal Emperor, the records of the Taihua Sacred Ground do not contain a single word about it.

Lu Changsheng could only try to capture the Evil Cultivators of the Evil Extremity Sect alive, hoping to get some information out of them.

Fortunately, Lu Changsheng obtained the Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact, the "Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda." The greatest use of this Law Treasure is that it can imprison powerful Xiuzhenzhe.

Once the Evil Cultivators of the Evil Extremity Sect are imprisoned in the Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda, they will find it difficult to escape.

If Lu Changsheng is unable to extract the information he wants from them, he can take them back to Taihua Mountain and hand them over to powerful beings such as Lin Xuantong and the Household Ancestor Lin for interrogation using their great Divine Ability.

The Eight Desolations Dragon-Imprisoning Pagoda is far more powerful than the Low-Grade Emperor Weapon "Spirit-Sealing Net," so there won't be any situation where Dantai Meng can escape this time.

Of course, when Lu Changsheng encountered Dantai Meng again, he couldn't really capture her alive, since he had already offended the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable.

The Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable didn't personally take action simply because Lu Changsheng hadn't done anything to Dantai Meng.

If Lu Changsheng were to capture Dantai Meng alive again, it would be a slap in the face to the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable.

At that time, I'm afraid the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable will force his way into Taihua Mountain and kidnap Lu Changsheng.

I think I'd better keep a low profile.

Lu Changsheng continued to cultivate discreetly, only emerging from Lu Changsheng when his Disciples were in trouble.
