About five hours later.
"Analysis Two Complete!"
"Material: Fire Melting Divine Crystal. The Blazing Flame Blade contains 16 Innate Treasure Restrictions of the Flame Law, which are as follows..."
"Beginning Deep Analysis Three..."
By the time it reached Analysis Three, this analysis of the Blazing Flame Blade took quite a while.
It took Luo Qing a full ten days for Analysis Three to finally complete.
"Analysis Three Complete. The Innate Rune arrangement that constitutes the Innate Treasure Restriction is as follows..."
"It's done!"
Luo Qing's face lit up with surprise, and he quickly paused the Eye of the Great Dao.
If he were to analyze any further, it would touch upon the fundamental composition of matter, which was completely beyond his understanding at the moment.
All he wanted was the information on the Innate Treasure Restrictions of the Blazing Flame Blade, a damaged Innate Spiritual Treasure.
In the Primordial Era, magic treasures naturally formed were only Innate Supreme Treasures and Innate Spiritual Treasures.
And the damaged Innate Spiritual Treasures were Innate Treasures.
To the Innate Sacred Beings, perhaps even Innate Spiritual Treasures were not valuable.
Damaged Innate Spiritual Treasures? Even more trash, not worth a glance.
But to Luo Qing and other Acquired Immortal Gods, or even those below the Earth Immortal cultivation level.
Let alone Innate Spiritual Treasures, even Innate Treasures were things beyond reach.
It was said that in the early days of the Primordial Era's creation, treasures were everywhere, and one could pick up several Innate Spiritual Treasures just by walking around.
But those opportunities mostly had nothing to do with Acquired Beings; they belonged to the top Innate Gods and Innate Sacred Beings.
What to do if one had no magic treasure to use?
Thus, the Art of Artifact Refining first became popular in the Primordial Era.
Acquired Magic Treasures that imitated Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate Treasures thus came into being.
Magic Tools supplied for the use of beings with weaker cultivation.
Spirit Tools, a step stronger.
And Acquired Divine Artifacts and Immortal Artifacts for Immortals and Gods, and finally Acquired Spiritual Treasures.
These were also the magic treasures used by most beings with not-so-high cultivation in the Primordial Era.
In Luo Qing's previous hundred years, he had already completed a comprehensive understanding of Magic Tools, Spirit Tools, and Divine Artifacts (Divine Artifacts corresponding to Immortal Artifacts).
However, these were merely Acquired Magic Treasures. He had never had an accurate understanding of what Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate Treasures were like.
"So the Innate Treasure Restrictions of Innate Treasures are also composed of Innate Runes!" Luo Qing was very surprised by the analysis results.
After analyzing the Blazing Flame Blade to the third depth, its Innate Treasure Restrictions held no more secrets for Luo Qing.
According to Luo Qing's detailed analysis, whether it was an Innate Treasure or an Acquired Magic Tool or Spirit Tool.
The restrictions within were all composed of miniature Innate Runes.
But compared to the Innate Treasure Restrictions on Innate Treasures.
The Acquired Immortal Restrictions on Immortal Artifacts, both in the number of Innate Runes and the complexity of their arrangement, were far inferior.
Spirit Tools, which imitated Immortal Artifacts, used Acquired Magic Restrictions, which were a tier weaker.
As for Magic Tools, they didn't even have a complete restriction; only scattered Innate Runes were imprinted on them.
"I suppose most artifact refiners only know how to forge, but they don't necessarily understand why the magic treasures take shape."
Three months later, Luo Qing deeply studied the 16 Innate Treasure Restrictions on the Blazing Flame Blade.
He compared them one by one with the Acquired Immortal Restrictions and Magic Restrictions he had obtained before.
There was no difference between Innate Runes themselves; the difference lay only in their quantity, combination, and arrangement.
These Treasure Restrictions and Immortal Restrictions felt to Luo Qing like miniature great formations formed by Innate Runes.
Luo Qing thought of the legendary Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and the Great Formation of the Stars evolved from the River Diagram and Luo Script.
Perhaps these famous great formations were indeed derived from the spiritual restrictions that constituted Innate Spiritual Treasures.
"Everything is ready, I can start imitating Innate Treasures!"
A sharp glint flashed in Luo Qing's eyes.
Since he was cultivating the Dao of Artifact Refining, Luo Qing was naturally unwilling to forge only Immortal Artifacts or Acquired Spiritual Treasures.
No matter how strong Acquired Spiritual Treasures were, they were still inferior to Innate ones.
With the assistance of the Eye of the Great Dao's analysis, Luo Qing naturally hoped that one day he could forge Innate Spiritual Treasures, or even Innate Supreme Treasures.
However, a tall building starts from the ground. Luo Qing now only hoped that he could successfully imitate the Blazing Flame Blade.
Instantly, the temperature inside the cave soared. Precious immortal treasures and spiritual materials were melted one by one in Luo Qing's hands.
Over the years, with the convenience of the Eye of the Great Dao, Magic Tools and Spirit Tools were readily available to him.
Thanks to his excellent Artifact Forging master identity, even if Luo Qing couldn't become an Immortal in a hundred years, he would still live comfortably in the Huoshi Brigade.
At the same time, he had gathered a large pile of good quality Artifact Forging materials.
Three months later, as Luo Qing integrated the last Fire Element Innate Rune into the Treasure Restriction.
With a boom, the Treasure Restriction, which was almost perfectly formed, instantly exploded.
Luo Qing's face darkened. Seven of the nine protective shields that lit up in front of him were instantly destroyed.
This was already the fifth time Luo Qing had branded a Rune Treasure Restriction onto the blade embryo in three months.
But each time, the Treasure Restriction exploded just as it was about to be completed.
"Damn it! Is it because my strength is insufficient, or the blade embryo is too poor? Or is it that this Innate Treasure Restriction can only be naturally formed by heaven and earth, and cannot be artificially replicated?"
Luo Qing couldn't help but curse.
Five consecutive explosions had severely damaged Luo Qing's once triumphant confidence.
Regardless of the reason, Luo Qing knew that his plan to forge an Innate Treasure was ruined.
"Sigh! It seems I can't be impatient. I still need to accumulate more knowledge about Treasure Restriction Runes."
After sitting in meditation for three days to recover his state, Luo Qing seriously summarized the gains and losses of his failed Artifact Forging.
Luo Qing felt that it was still due to his insufficient accumulation of Innate Runes.
There were three thousand Great Daos, and the Innate Spiritual Treasures, Treasures, and Spirit Restrictions born from each Great Dao should have different attributes.
How many Innate Runes would constitute these Spirit Restrictions and Treasure Restrictions?
Luo Qing did not know. He only knew that the number of Fire Element Innate Runes he had accumulated the most of exceeded 10,000.
"However, although the imitation of the Blazing Flame Blade failed, it wasn't a complete loss."
Looking at the dim first-tier Fire Origin Divine Pearl in his hand, Luo Qing muttered.
A single Treasure Restriction explosion had almost blown through the Defense Immortal Artifact.
What if all sixteen Treasure Restrictions exploded together? Could it match the power of the Blazing Flame Blade's self-destruction?
The self-destruction of a Mid-grade Innate Treasure could be enough to take a True Immortal down with it if the enemy was careless, and it could heavily injure a Mystic Immortal.
Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Mystic Immortal, Golden Immortal, Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
These seven cultivation realms were the current cultivation divisions in the Primordial Era.
The path of God-Demons also had corresponding realm names, which corresponded one-to-one with the Immortal Path.
A Magic Treasure that could kill a True Immortal could also be said to be very powerful.
Even Luo Qing's current direct superior, True God Huoshi, was comparable to a True Immortal.
He managed a large brigade of over a thousand tribesmen in the Crimson Flame Tribe, which already counted as being in the upper echelons of the Crimson Flame Tribe.
Thinking of the coming-of-age hunting ceremony of the Crimson Flame Tribe five years later.
"That's what I'll do. I'll forge five Pseudo Treasure Artifacts that can self-destruct first."
The hunting targets would naturally be Fierce Beasts. To be safe, Luo Qing also decided to forge some items that could save his life at critical moments.
Half a year later, the Blazing Flame Blade that Luo Qing had borrowed automatically flew back.
Four years later, the stone door of his seclusion was finally opened.
