531 First Prototype (1/2)
A quaint material quality, a refined talisman, a marvelous feeling, as well as that faint scent of the wild - all these left Zhou Bao in constant shock.
The Highest-grade Supreme Fairy Weapon with a fragment of the Ancient Sacred City!
This was what Zhou Bao felt when he first saw that fragment.
Sure, it was only a fragment the size of a palm. But it blessed Zhou Bao with a beautiful sense of perfection. It was as if it was not a fragment but rather a whole piece that had been painstakingly refined by a master artist. One couldn't bear to touch it, harm it, or defile it.
Seeing Jing XIII pick it up carelessly with his big hand, Zhou Bao could not help but roll his eyes, thinking, ”What a brute!”
”Haha, when I first saw something like this, I felt really strange. In the end, however, this thing is still a defective product and not of the real Ancient Sacred City. Although it may be composed of Fairy Dharma of the Ancient Sacred City, it is no longer possible to revive the glory of those days. Therefore, after a long time, there isn't much to feel!”
Zhou Bao did not say anything; he just received the fragment from Jing XIII. But as soon as he touched it, a wave of thoughts from the fragment entered Zhou Bao's mind, and he was slightly shocked as he received them. He finally understood why Jing XIII said that refining the Supreme Fairy Weapon was not difficult - these thoughts already contained the way to refine the Supreme Fairy Weapon. As long as the conditions were met, one could refine the Supreme Fairy Weapon. Of course, according to Zhou Bao's current strength and conditions, anything he could possibly refine would be of the lowest grade. At the same time, he also managed to resolve a question in his heart; or in other words, confirmed an idea in his heart.
The most important distinction between Fairy Weapons and Pure Yang Celestial Devices were in their talismans. Pure Yang Celestial Devices, like the top Upper-grade Pure Yang Celestial Devices, including Zhou Bao's Flipping Sky Seal, required three talismans to form a talisman formation. As for Fairy Weapons, the core was not composed of a talisman formation, but rather a simple talisman. Of course, this single talisman had another name: Immortal Character. Every Immortal Character represented a particular Fairy Dharma. It was the core of the Fairy Weapon, just like how the core of Zhou Bao's Furnace of Immortality was like. Same goes for the Wheel of Time. As for the Jade Plate of Fate, only heaven knew what that blinding light in its core was.
Taihao Fairy Weapons and Heavenly Fairy Weapons were like that, and the same goes for the Supreme Fairy Weapons.
Immortal Characters were different from talismans and normal characters. Be it talismans or normal characters, all of them needed a sequence of multiple strokes to form a sentence and convey a complete meaning. On the other hand, an Immortal Character could convey countless meanings. It could convey the meaning of one character, or it could convey the meaning of an entire sentence. An Immortal Character could even convey the meaning of an entire book series thoroughly - how did it do that?
It could do that based on one thing - insights!
The more insights one had about an Immortal Character, the more meanings it could convey and the more powerful it was.
With every increase of insights about an Immortal Character, the Immortal Character would evolve according to the nature of one's insight after a certain level, and one's rank and power would grow larger and larger. Of course, it was too early to speak of these things. Be it the Furnace of Immortality or the Wheel of Time, the Immortal Characters on them were all formed naturally. Zhou Bao had neither an opportunity to gain any insights nor could he have derived any insights from them. The Immortal Character from the Ancient Sacred City's fragments in front of him was the same; he was unable to gain any insights about it. However, he could use those prior thoughts to refine one Supreme Fairy Weapon. Of course, on the condition that he had such an opportunity. Right now, he could only do a rough sketch at best.
Moreover, the process of refining a Supreme Fairy Weapon was extremely difficult.
”You don't have that much time. Maybe I can help you in operating the Wheel of Time!” Jing XIII said.
”It's ok. I have a method to operate it!” Zhou Bao looked at Jing XIII and said, ”After I refine this piece of Supreme Fairy Weapon, I will not forget to help you with it. But for now, you can go back!”
”Seems like you still don't trust me very much!”
”Of course I don't trust you. There has been no incident that proved our affections and disproved traitorous ways. I don't think our relationship is deep enough for me to trust you with something like this. If you have any requests, just say them!”
”I don't have too many requests, and I haven't even thought of any requests I can make!” Seeing how defensive Zhou Bao was around him, Jing XIII felt a little disappointed. However, he naturally did not display such disappointment on his face. ”Perhaps I will need a favor from you in the near future. Please do not reject then!”
”As long as I can do it and it does not hurt me, I will do my best!” Zhou Bao did not promise immediately, but neither did he reject. He only gave a conditional reply, which still pleased Jing XIII immensely. ”Alright then, I shall leave now. I wish you success!”
