Meanwhile, Ao Tu summoned the White Bone Spirit to his side, intending to forge a weapon for her.

After thinking for a moment, the White Bone Spirit said, "How about Your Great King forge me a Long Spear?"

Ao Tu asked, "Why do you need to forge Long Spear?"

The White Bone Spirit said, "My martial arts skills are not proficient. I don't know any sword moves, and I only know how to use Long Spear from a distance, which makes it easier to stab people."

Ao Tu shook his head and said, "The Long Spear is a weapon of yang energy, while you are of pure yin nature, making it inconvenient for you to use. Moreover, this Gold Within Kan is also Water Essence, which is yin and soft lead, making it difficult to forge a spear. How about I forge a flying sword for you?"

The White Bone Spirit shook her head and said, "Your Great King, the flying sword is too light and does not suit my taste."

Ao Tu laughed, "With your physique, how much strength can you possibly have? You still complain that the sword is too light?"

The White Bone Spirit said, "Since Your Great King bestowed upon me this new body, my strength is not much less than that of the Scorpion Demon!"

Ao Tu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and reached out to pull the White Bone Spirit to his side to check on her condition.

Upon seeing this, the White Bone Spirit was overjoyed. With a rustling sound, she removed her armor, revealing only a close-fitting white dress underneath, which accentuated her exquisite figure and exuded boundless charm. She then proceeded to remove the white dress.

Ao Tu stopped him, saying, "I have no such intention; I am only refining treasures for you today."

Upon hearing this, the White Bone Spirit Demon's face turned resentful. She gently placed her slender hands around Ao Tu's shoulders and said, "Your Great King, what treasures are so easy to refine?"

Ao Tu ignored her and simply picked up her hand to examine it. It was flawless and white, showing no power. It was indeed made of lotus root, infinitely magical, just like Nezha. Her skin was as white and tender as a six or seven-year-old child, yet it contained immense power.

Seeing that Ao Tu had no interest in the matter, the White Bone Spirit Demon had no choice but to let him do as Ao Tu pleased and examine her body.

After inspecting the lotus root, Ao Tu remembered the matter of Artifact Refining and continued, "How about I forge you a Precious Whip?"

The White Bone Spirit shook her head and said, "The whip is too soft; I don't know how to use it!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Tu pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, I will forge a precious sword for you!"

The White Bone Spirit said, "Didn't Your Great King say that we cannot forge weapons of masculine energy?"

Ao Tu laughed and said, "I will forge a yin-soft blade for you, one that will injure the enemy with a single strike; it is the Blood-Transforming Divine Saber!"

The White Bone Spirit was delighted and agreed.

Ao Tu then instructed her to retrieve several pieces of Yin Fiend Bloodstone and Ten-Thousand-Year Ancient Wood, nurtured at the bottom of the Blood Sea, from the treasure vault to serve as precious materials.

The White Bone Spirit then changed into her armor and left.

Ao Tu took out the remaining treasures to examine them.

Spiritual Root · Bodhi Leaf, this is a root sprout, or perhaps a bud.

Ao Tu originally thought this was a branch of the Bodhi Tree, hence the name Bodhi Leaf. But now it seems that this is not the case. Instead, it is a new bud growing from the cut surface of a broken root. It is about half a person tall, and the branches and leaves are neither lush nor sparse.

Ao Tu accepted the Spiritual Root, which he believed could be used for transplanting elsewhere in the future.

The Houtian Spiritual Treasure - Eight Trigrams Mirror: There's not much to say about this item. It's Daoism Numinous Treasures, possessed by all sorts of Immortal, but this one is of higher quality, ranking among the Houtian Spiritual Treasure.

Fortunately, the Monkey had never seen this treasure before, so he Hidden Mist Mountain, disguised himself as a Daoist, and showed the Monkey the treasure.

Supernatural Ability - The Power of Extinguishing the Outflows. The first of the Six Divine Powers in Buddhist. Defilements refer to the delusions of views and thoughts in the Three Realms. It means that Arhat has severed all delusions of views and thoughts, is not subject to Life and Death in the Three Realms, and has thus attained Supernatural Ability. This is called the Power of Extinguishing the Outflows.

In other words, the Power of Extinguishing the Outflows defilements is the complete eradication of all defilements, the severing of all afflictions of view and thought in the Three Realms, and the realization of Wisdom that Transcendence the Reincarnation Life and Death.

Ao Tu had previously attained five of the Six Divine Powers of Buddhist: the Heavenly Eye, the Heavenly Ear Penetration, the Divine Feet Supernatural Ability, the Mind Reading, and the Supernatural Power of Knowing Past Lives.

Now that I have attained the Power of Extinguishing the Outflows, I can consider my life complete.

Although Ao Tu has not Buddhahood Buddha, he is already far superior to many Buddha. Even compared to Shakyamuni, he is only slightly weaker in terms of the Cultivation Realm attainment and magical power, while his supernatural abilities Supernatural Ability Magic Treasure are far superior.

In terms of Buddhist Dharma practice, Ao Tu founded his own religion, while Shakyamuni, though nominally the Cult Leader, was revered within the Western Heaven Sect, making them clearly incomparable.

The Essence of Li Fire. Li Fire is the fire of the due south, and it has been controlled by the Fire God since ancient times.

The Li Fire is different from the Solar True Fire. The Solar True Fire is the Supreme Yang Fire Great Sun, sweeping away all evil. Ordinary people cannot control it. Even the Sun Star Lord of the Heavenly Court cannot ignite the Solar True Fire on his own.

The Li Fire is not the most intense Supreme Yang Fire, but rather the essence of true yin that is nurtured within the fire. It complements and harmonizes with the water of Kan, making it easier to control and manage, whether for cultivation or Alchemy.

The Essence of Li Fire is a ball of red precious fire. When held in the hand, it is warm and spiritual, leaping up and down as if it were alive.

Indeed, this is true; if this fire were imbued with Creation, it could give birth to the Li Fire Divine Bird.

Ao Tu finally got the Mount he had always wanted.

However, this still feels a bit strange.

Ao Tu adds Creation to the Li Fire, nurturing life; aren't those life forms just like his own children?

Using one's own child as Mount...

Even without adding to Creation, the Essence of Li Fire can be used for Alchemy, Artifact Refining, or cultivating Supernatural Ability.

Ao Tu himself doesn't need to cultivate the Fire God. With his current power, he can directly mobilize the authority of Heaven and Earth to unleash endless Li Fire.

However, although he himself does not need to cultivate this Supernatural Ability, he can bestow it upon his subordinates or disciples in the future, so that they can refine it and cultivate the Supernatural Ability.

Finally, even if you do nothing and simply throw this ball of Essence of Li Fire into the furnace bricks to serve as furnace fire, it can burn for several eons without going out, but doing so would be a huge waste.

After much deliberation, Ao Tu still felt that bestowing Creation upon him was better.

It wasn't that he wanted Mount. Rather, this ball of Essence of Li Fire had already acquired sentience and was gently pulsating in his palm. If he placed it in a place where spiritual veins gathered, a place where Creation arose, such as Flower-Fruit Mountain where Wukong was born, the Ancestral Vein of the Ten Continents and the Dragon Vein of the Three Islands, it could give birth to life after millions of years of evolution.

How could Ao Tu bear to Artifact Refining it into Alchemy or weapons, or bestow it upon his disciples for refining, or even throw it under the furnace bricks to burn away its spiritual essence?

Ao Tu raised his finger and touched the Essence of Li Fire, bestowing upon it Creation.

The Essence of Li Fire, having gained sentience, instantly manifested boundless wonders, shaping Yin and Yang, and creating Heaven and Earth. Within it, a Li Fire Divine Bird, no bigger than a finger, with its wings not yet fully grown and its eyes still closed, circled and flew within the Li Fire, calling out, "Father! Father! Father! Father!"

Upon hearing that clear, crisp voice, Ao Tu's face darkened, and he said, "Don't call me Father! From now on, call me Cult Leader!"

The little divine bird said, "Father gave me life, why won't you acknowledge me?"

Ao Tu said, "I gave you life because I saw that you were born with spirituality, a divine being, and therefore I brought you into this world so that you could become my Mount."

The little divine bird exclaimed joyfully, "In that case, I shall call you Master! What do you mean by ' Cult Leader '? Master, don't be impatient. Once I am born and my wings are fully grown, I will invite you to ride on my back and soar through the universe, traversing the Great Void."

Ao Tu was delighted to hear this, and since the little fellow was quite polite, he took him into his arms to await his birth.

Ao Tu then took out the Ancient Buddha Remnant Body.
