Chapter 584 - Five-Elemental Divine Seal (1/2)

Chen Fan currently had three Spirit Artifacts.

Summoning Flute of the Demon G.o.d, the Sword of Essence Restoring and the Thunder Seal. The Immortal Guardians summoned by the flute were strong in their own right, but their power fell short when fighting against a Mortal Deity.

The Sword of Essence Restoring was the most deadly weapon in Chen Fan’s possession, while the Thunder Seal was not much weaker in comparison.

Those three artifacts had been created by Earth Level Deities from the East, and Chen Fan could use them with ease. However, most artifacts from the Dark Treasure Vault had been crafted by Saints and Deities from the west, using methods that Chen Fan was not familiar with.

“Although I can’t use them, they can work as raw materials.” Chen Fan thought to himself.

Each and every Divine Artifact would be created with the best materials their creator could find. In the modern era, those materials were extremely hard to come by.

“Divine Crystal Gold, Angel Bone, a Saint’s Heart, Divine Skull, Phoenix Feather, Dragon Bone…”

Chen Fan examined each and every precious artifact.

He had never seen an ensemble of materials that was more valuable and rarer than these. If an Artifact Crafting Master would have gotten a hold of them, he could have made a Golden Core Level Spirit Treasure. However, those precious items had been used to make low level Spirit Artifacts with the crudest craftsmans.h.i.+p.

“With this Connate Spirit and Golden Core Level raw material, I should be able to craft another mid-grade Spirit Artifact, if not of superior-grade.” Chen Fan rubbed his chin and nodded.

The artifacts made by Chen Fan would be a significant improvement over the Thunder Seal and the Sword of Essence Restoring.

Even the same mid-grade Spirit Artifact, depending on the power of the creator, its quality could be vastly different. An Artifact created by Chen Fan could rival any superior-grade Spirit Artifact, if not a Spirit Treasure. In addition, they could often be upgraded to reach even higher grades.

However, the Sword of Essence Restoring and the Thunder Seal were limited by the ability of their creators.

“I have the Armor of Golden Flame so I no longer need a Defensive Artifact. I also have the Swords of Nine Abandonments and the Sword of Essence Restoring, so I don’t need a flying sword, either. What I really need is a more versatile artifact, a Comprehensive Artifact.”

Chen Fan evaluated his situation and quickly determined what he needed.

As its name suggested, a Comprehensive Artifact played many roles. It could be used for defense, aggression as well as concealment. Due to the lack of Qi on Earth, most artifacts created on this planet only had one function.

The Sword of Essence Restoring could only attack, the Thunder Seal was a pure spell casting tool, while the other artifacts he possessed were only focused on defense. None of the artifacts could do things at the same time.

“Artifact Crafters on earth might be able to create such an artifact, but its power would be spread so thin that it would be a jack of all trades but master of none. Their crafting methods were so primitive and crude that they would need at least ten thousand years to improve.”

Chen Fan smirked and shook his head.

Some things might be easy for Chen Fan, but they could be extremely difficult for others.

Chen Fan had the ability to create effective Comprehensive Artifacts, but he couldn’t due to lack of proper material. The Summoning Flute of the Demon G.o.d was created with the bones of an Earth Level Deity, and was far from an ideal crafting material. The quality of the material greatly hampered the power of the Demon G.o.ds it summoned.

As Chen Fan encountered more and more powerful opponents, the Summoning Flute of the Demon G.o.d would eventually become irrelevant.

“However, these Divine Artifacts will be different. But what kind of Dharma Treasure should I create?”

Chen Fan examined each and every Divine Artifact lay before him as he calculated.

Those precious Divine Artifacts had very different attributes. The Heart of Light, Feather of the Fire Beast, Thunder G.o.d’s Lance, and the Sea G.o.d’s Trident.

Chen Fan’s gaze landed on the Thunder Seal and suddenly had an idea, “Perhaps I should use the Thunder Seal as the core to craft a Five-Elemental Divine Seal”

Each disciple of the Five Elements Immortal Sect needed to craft a Five-Elemental Divine Seal sometime in their apprentices.h.i.+p. It had very versatile uses and was lauded as an Artifact with comprehensive effects.

An ordinary disciple of the sect could enchant only one or two effects, but Chen Fan could do much better since he had the Azure Thearch Longevity Body.

“Wind and Thunder are both wood elements, and so was the Thunder Seal. Therefore, wood elements should be the main theme of the artifact and the other four elements would complete it in their own way. Once I finish it, it would be as powerful as a superior-grade Spirit Artifact.”

Chen Fan clapped his hands in excitement.

The power of the Five-Elemental Divine Seal would increase over time with its user. Some Seals created during the Connate Spirit level could become no less powerful than Divine Artifacts. Although the materials Chen Fan had to work with were a far cry from what the Five Elements Immortal Sect used, such as Heavenly Sand or the Seventh Gold, it should be powerful enough for the moment.

Chen Fan started making the artifact as soon as he knew what to do.

Before he began, he announced that he would be in secluded cultivation for a while, and ordered his disciples to guard the entrance to the Dark Treasure Vault; its underground location made it an ideal location for seclusion.

“I need Connate True Fire to soften the material. So, Li Fire will do.”

While he thought, Chen Fan lifted the Thunder Seal. Suddenly, two b.a.l.l.s of fire erupted from his eyes and landed on the Seal; the Artifact started to tremble almost immediately, despite its st.u.r.dy construction.
