Streams of sword light flew out from Longevity Island—more than thirty in all—racing toward the islands where the five arenas stood.
The elders on Longevity Island burst into hearty laughter.
Now that was more like it. Young people ought to be lively. Spending every day sipping tea and playing the zither, quieter than even these old fellows—was that proper?
"This time, the arenas should be exciting."
"Indeed!" someone echoed.
The juniors' skills were still lacking, but their minds ran wild as heavenly steeds through the sky. Put them together and let them collide a little, and they could produce something that made people's eyes light up.
At the last Floating Xiang Sect arena, the artifact-refining methods of two Little Fellows in the Mortal Shedding Will Aperture Realm had left everyone in awe. They had directly crushed the materials into powder, mixed them in proportion, and condensed them into the shape of an artifact.
Compared to the usual full process of liquefying, interweaving, Setting up Formation, and imbuing spirit... it was dozens of times faster, though the quality still left much to be desired. In particular, they first used materials like branches to shape the skeletal framework of the artifact's formation diagram, then covered it in powder. The results were far inferior.
But it was fast! If this were a sect war, artifacts refined this way could be used entirely as expendable supplies.
This rapid-form artifact-refining method had already stirred up a raging tide, sweeping through all of Jing Prefecture and spreading toward the Profound Wilderness Realm. Even a group of old fellows were studying its feasibility.
Those two Little Fellows had also Prayed to Heaven and Earth, gaining merit to protect their bodies.
Such monstrous geniuses could not be judged by ordinary standards. They did not expect disciples like that
