133 It Is Very Fragile (1/2)
With a wave of emotions, Wang Baole put down the Condensed Jadeite Sword and began refining the second perfect Dharmic Artifact. In the refinement process, he did not halt his cultivation of the Cloud Ethereal technique. He would meditate and practice the technique every day, which allowed him to build up Spirit Qi and rest as well.
Every circulation that he finished would allow him to rejuvenate his mind. He also felt that the Spirit thread within his body was growing stronger by the day, especially when he was refining the required Spirit Stones. As the devouring seed churned, it was obvious that his speed of absorbing Spirit Qi had increased significantly. The appearance of mist around him, coupled with the fact that he had activated a hundred percent of his spirit meridians, caused his cultivation speed to far exceed that of others.
He understood that neither cultivation nor the refinement of Dharmic Artifacts should be ignored, especially as it was specifically mentioned in the Technique of Infinite Armament Transformation that as the grade of the Dharmic Artifacts being refined increased, the required support from one's cultivation would increase.
Furthermore, there were nine grades of Dharmic Artifacts listed by the Federation. The first two grades were known as Dharmic Artifacts, those from the third grade were known as Numinous Treasures, and the seventh grade was known as Dharmic Armaments. If it was beyond the ninth level, it would be known as a Divine Armament!
That put a huge demand on the Dharmic Armament cultivator's cultivation!
As he thought about the Technique of Infinite Armament Transformation, a passage from the preface surfaced on Wang Baole's mind.
”As armament cultivators, everything is viewed as Spirit Stones. Endless inscriptions are made, condensing them into… supreme Spirit Kernels!
”Viewing the laws as forging materials, and the cosmos as an incubator, refinement is done… to produce a Divine Armament capable of eliminating the gods!”
Wang Baole was shaken, thinking about those words. He wondered when the time would come for him to reach the level where he could refine every single object in the world.
Then, I will be able to refine Divine Armaments and become the President of the Federation! This is not something that can be accomplished in a matter of minutes of days. Who would dare say 'no'? Wang Baole was filled with anticipation as he thought about this.
With this feeling of anticipation, days passed. The number of perfect first-grade Dharmic Artifacts that Wang Baole had made increased in number. In the two weeks that passed, Wang Baole stayed in near-complete seclusion, endlessly refining first-grade Dharmic Artifacts. With each Dharmic Artifact refined, he was a step closer to becoming an Armament Disciple.
This was not an easy feat to the other disciples who had just gained admission to the Upper Academy Island. To Wang Baole, however, it was just a matter of time. At the same time, in the two weeks that passed, the second batch of disciples entered the Upper Academy Island.
The second batch of disciples consisted of senior students who did not enter the Spirit Breath Village previously and the small proportion of people who had failed in the Spirit Breath Village. They had passed the mystic realm of their respective Dao Colleges to achieve breakthroughs and were allowed to advance into the Upper Academy.
Their arrival made the Upper Academy Island livelier. At the same time, the cruiser gifted by the Dharmic Armament Pavilion to Wang Baole for being an eight-inch Spirit Root True Breath expert was finally completed and was sent personally to him by the blue-shirted cultivator from the Pavilion Administrative Department.
He was one of the few who had paid particular attention to the battle between Wang Baole and Lin Tianhao. From that, the blue-shirted cultivator could already see that Wang Baole was extraordinary. He even looked up information about the brutal incidents involving Wang Baole in the Lower Academy Island, which strengthened his desire to befriend Wang Baole.
Wang Baole was fond of making friends. He was in the process of refining Dharmic Artifacts, but he was not at all irritated that he was interrupted by the blue-shirted cultivator's visit. Instead, he was extremely welcoming, and after exchanging greetings before sending the blue-shirted cultivator away, Wang Baole looked at the small cruiser parked outside his cave abode, his eyes filled with excitement.
It's a cruiser. Wang Baole stepped ahead to get a feel of it. The green cruiser was wingless and not very large. It was about thirty feet wide, oval in shape, with a dent in the middle, as if a mystic force was circulating within it.
Due to the presence of the protective shield, it was convenient regardless of whether one was standing up or sitting down when the cruiser was used for short-haul flights. If it was used for long-haul flights, one could even lie in it. There were also many flight mode options, from the autopilot mode that could be enabled after keying in the destination to the self-driving mode after the spirit energy was completely integrated into one's body.
It's a pity that it's not equipped with a combat function. However, I can incorporate some Dharmic Artifacts on it. This way, it would be ready for combat! Wang Baole circled the cruiser. The more he looked at it, the fonder of it he was. It could be considered his first personal cruiser, and as cruisers of this sort were like Dharmic Artifacts, Wang Baole did not face many challenges controlling it.
After a brief look at the cruiser, Wang Baole sat on it, his excitement overflowing. Instantly, spirit energy within his body was unleashed and integrated with the cruiser, causing it to vibrate slightly and rise slowly into the air.
Wang Baole looked exhilarated. Controlling the spirit energy with his mind, the cruiser that was in midair began to speed forward into the skies.
He yelped happily. Wang Baole flew the cruiser within the skies above the Upper Academy Island. He was initially unfamiliar with it, but he gradually grew more skilled, especially as disciples from the other pavilions were also flying their cruisers in the skies. After some observation, he no longer sat down on the cruiser, instead standing up on the cruiser and roaring with the wind in his hair.
This is what a cultivator should be equipped with. Stepping into the skies, making everywhere between the heavens and earth a place that can be explored! Wang Baole laughed heartily and recalled that it was written in the Cloud Ethereal technique that if a True Breath expert reached the fifth level, they could fly into the skies while standing on a sword.
Till then, cruisers were mostly used for long distance travel. Even if danger was met midair, one could still leave while stepping on a sword and battle the opponent.
I need to buck up and level up to the peak of a True Breath! The exhilaration of flying in the skies while controlling his own cruiser made Wang Baole extremely excited for his own future, and the speed of his cruiser increased.
The strong winds that were coming at him were blocked due to the protective shield. Therefore, Wang Baole did not feel the strong winds striking his face. The cruiser's design also minimized air resistance. Amid his joy, Wang Baole laughed as the cruiser tore through the clouds and flew at a high altitude.
At this position, no other cruisers can be seen in the vicinity.
Everything below seemed to have shrunk in Wang Baole's eyes. Looking into the distance, the surrounding layers of clouds were like an ocean, wide and limitless. When he looked up, the sun at the edge of the skies was glowing hot, and the ancient greenish-bronze sword was especially prominent.
Ah, the Sword Sun. The sun is huge, many times larger than the Earth. Naturally, the ancient greenish-bronze sword is also astonishing and similarly many times larger than the Earth.
