Chapter 178: Starting the Artifact Refining of Lightning Absorbing Pillars (For Lord Cheng Yuyu’s Additional Update)

Yu Liwei and Long Xingxiu flew into Dao Sheng Peak, and Zhang Yuhe and Lian Zhengyu immediately stood up to greet them.

Long Xingxiu looked at Zhang Yuhe, a smile on his face as he asked, “This must be Zhang Xiaoyou, right?”

“Zhang Xiaoyou mastering the Supreme Law and achieving the feat of overcoming a Golden Immortal with True Immortal cultivation is truly admirable.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuhe immediately responded modestly, “Sect Master Long, you flatter me; I was merely fortunate.”

…

After a series of pleasantries, everyone sat down in the pavilion on the mountaintop.

Yu Liwei looked at Lian Zhengyu and went straight to the point, asking, “You mentioned before about building a Tribulation Platform; do you have confidence in it?”

Lian Zhengyu did not waste words; he handed over a Jade Slip and then said, “This is the Formation that Zhang Yuhe improved. You’ll understand after you’ve seen it.”

Yu Liwei took the Jade Slip and examined it carefully for a while, then passed it to Long Xingxiu.

Upon seeing the contents of the Jade Slip, both of them were greatly shaken.

Long Xingxiu exclaimed, “Zhang Xiaoyou is indeed a heaven-sent genius to be able to devise such an exquisite Formation!”

“Once this Formation is set up,”

“Not only will it assist True Immortal Disciples in Undergoing Tribulation for the Golden Immortal Heavenly Tribulation, but even if we are fortunate enough to Breakthrough to Taiyi Immortal in the future, this Formation will still be of great help.”

Yu Liwei, who was nearby, also nodded in agreement.

After Zhang Yuhe’s improvements, the Immortal Rank Ren Water Lightning Absorption Array was extremely vast and complex.

However, the effect of the Formation was undoubtedly very effective.

The only troublesome thing now was how to gather the Materials needed for over ten thousand Lightning Absorbing Pillars.

Although according to the description in the Jade Slip, the Materials required for the Lightning Absorbing Pillars were the most common Immortal Rank Spirit Materials in the Immortal Realm.

But no matter how common, they were still Immortal Grade Materials.

Getting a few hundred pieces would be easy to say; any of their forces could produce them.

However, the Formation that Zhang Yuhe had deduced actually required over ten thousand Immortal Artifact-grade Lightning Absorbing Pillars.

This quantity was truly a bit exaggerated.

Even if they emptied the treasuries of all three forces, they wouldn’t be able to gather that many Materials.

Yu Liwei stood up, looked at Zhang Yuhe, and asked seriously, “Do you have confidence?”

Zhang Yuhe nodded and replied solemnly, “As long as the Materials are gathered, I am confident in Artifact Refining all the Lightning Absorbing Pillars and setting up the complete Ren Water Lightning Absorption Array.”

Zhang Yuhe was very confident in the Ren Water Lightning Absorption Array.

Back in Yu Fan Heaven, he had repeatedly deduced and improved this Formation.

The actual effect made him very satisfied.

He believed that now that this Formation had been deduced to the Immortal Rank level, its effect of weakening the Heavenly Tribulation would undoubtedly be even stronger.

At the very least, helping him withstand the Golden Immortal Heavenly Tribulation would definitely not be a problem.

“Good, the matter of Materials will be handled by us; you only need to Artifact Refining the Lightning Absorbing Pillars.”

After Yu Liwei finished speaking, she looked at Long Xingxiu, waiting for him to express his stance.

The reason Yu Liwei wanted to bring the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect along to build the Tribulation Platform was, on one hand, due to Zhang Yuhe’s extremely large demand for Materials.

Having another force participate could accelerate the construction progress.

On the other hand, she wanted to reassure Long Xingxiu and stop him from thinking about unnecessary things.

The Jian Sea Area was such a small pond; there was no need for further infighting.

Everyone should progress together.

After their overall strength improved, they could then find a way to develop in the Chaos Continent.

The resources in the Jian Sea Area could only support them in Cultivating to the Golden Immortal Realm; that was already the limit.

If they wanted to make further Breakthroughs, they would have to go to the Chaos Continent.

There were infinite resources there.

As long as they could gain a firm foothold in the Chaos Continent, breaking through to Taiyi Immortal in the future was not impossible.

Moreover, Chaos Beasts were the true great enemies of Cultivators.

Yu Liwei truly had no interest in internal strife in the small pond of the Jian Sea Area.

However, although she thought this way, the other party also had to be sensible.

If the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was like the Ouyang Family, then she wouldn’t mind eliminating them to avoid future trouble.

Long Xingxiu was clearly very sensible.

He immediately stood up and said excitedly, “This matter is settled then.”

“After I return to the Sect, I will immediately send people to deliver the Materials from our inventory.”

“Then I will mobilize the Golden Immortal Cultivators within the Sect to go to various large sea areas and gather the Materials as quickly as possible.”

Hearing this, Yu Liwei nodded.

She looked at Zhang Yuhe and slowly said, “The first batch of Materials will be delivered in a few days. The remaining Materials will require us to go to other large sea areas to purchase them.”

“But rest assured, these Materials are not too precious; as long as we put in more effort, we will definitely be able to gather them all.”

Zhang Yuhe stood up and said gratefully to the two, “Thank you for the support of both Seniors. I will definitely set up the first Tribulation Platform in the Jian Sea Area.”

“Good, then let’s each make our arrangements.”

After speaking, she transformed into a streak of light and flew away from Dao Sheng Peak.

Yu Liwei had traveled a long distance, only said a few words in total, and then left directly.

Long Xingxiu also did not linger.

He cupped his hands towards Lian Zhengyu and then flew away.

A few days later, the Nine Immortals Sect and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect separately sent people to deliver their inventory of Materials.

Adding the Materials Zhang Yuhe had plundered from the Ouyang Family and the Dao Saint Sect’s inventory, they had now gathered approximately five thousand sets of Materials needed for Artifact Refining Lightning Absorbing Pillars.

These Materials were the accumulation of countless years by various major forces in the Jian Sea Area.

Even so, it was barely enough for Artifact Refining half of the Lightning Absorbing Pillars.

This also required every Artifact Refining attempt to be one hundred percent successful.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuhe had never failed since his first contact with Artifact Refining.

If it were other Artifact Refiners, the average failure rate would probably be about half.

In that case, the Materials they needed to collect would have to be doubled, which would be even more troublesome.

Zhang Yuhe brought all the Materials to the Dao Saint Sect’s Artifact Refining Hall.

Before this, Lian Zhengyu had already cleared out the Artifact Refining Hall; other Disciples’ actions of Artifact Refining Magic Treasures and Immortal Artifacts all had to be suspended or moved elsewhere.

The vast Artifact Refining Hall was entirely for Zhang Yuhe’s sole use.

He opened up all the secret chambers within the hall, and hundreds of Refining Cauldrons appeared in his view.

However, not all of these Refining Cauldrons were suitable for Artifact Refining Immortal Artifacts.

To Artifact Refining Immortal Artifacts, the Rank of the Refining Cauldron had to at least reach High Grade Spirit Treasure.

With a wave of his right hand, Zhang Yuhe removed the unsuitable Refining Cauldrons, leaving about a hundred remaining.

After placing various Materials into these hundred or so Refining Cauldrons, he quickly formed hand seals.

Beneath these large cauldrons, scorching flames soon ignited.

A hundred or so large cauldrons simultaneously starting Artifact Refining Immortal Artifacts was like a super Artifact Refining workshop.

This was definitely a marvel in the Immortal Realm.

However, Zhang Yuhe did not feel too much pressure.

He always believed that Artifact Refining was a very simple matter.

As long as one’s cultivation was sufficient, and they had suitable Materials and blueprints, Artifact Refining Immortal Artifacts was as simple as having hands.

While operating over a hundred Refining Cauldrons simultaneously, he even had leisure time to slowly deduce Divine Abilities beside them.
