188 Request to Be Electrocuted (1/2)

Three months is neither long nor short… I must make good use of it! Wang Baole sat cross-legged in the cave abode. After planning out the inscriptions for the Fire God Cannon in detail, a look of determination appeared on his face.

I'll choose the Fire God Cannon then! Wang Baole took a deep breath and immediately took out the jade slip. He began to structure the inscriptions for the miniature Fire God Cannon. Even though he had a reference, it was an improvisation after all, and still posed some challenges.

Thankfully, Wang Baole had a deep understanding of the inscriptions for the Fire God Cannon. Having gone through the battle in the stronghold previously, he had made many improvisations to the Fire God Cannon, allowing him to familiarize himself with every single part within it.

The Fire God Cannon that I make cannot be too small… If not, it won't have enough force, and would be challenging to assemble… Wang Baole scratched his head and was deep in thought as he began to adjust his plans.

I cannot overthink the Fire God Cannon either. What I need to do is to treat it as an original, and boost its inscriptions…

Time flew, and three days passed.

In those three days, Wang Baole sacrificed his sleep and meals as he endlessly structured and remodeled it. Finally, he managed to completely outline the ideal Fire God Cannon that he was about to make in his mind.

From its appearance, it looked vastly different from the Fire God Cannon. To put it more accurately, it looked more like a rocket.

Looking at the blueprint that he had drawn on the jade slip, Wang Baole was satisfied. He began to plan out the inscriptions according to his blueprint and the power he wished to bestow to it. Different creative thoughts emerged continuously, colliding and create sparks in his mind.

Several days passed, and Wang Baole, who was fully immersed in the improvisation of the Fire God Cannon, finally ended the planning for the inscriptions. He looked visibly fatigued.

Considering just the inscriptions alone, he had referenced the inscriptions on the Fire God Cannon and planned out over a million inscriptions. His level of cultivation and understanding of the Dharmic Armament didn't allow him to put all the inscriptions he had planned onto a single Numinous Treasure.

I will need to assemble seventy-eight Numinous Treasures to complete the structure… Wang Baole rubbed his glabella and took out a bottle of Ice Spirit Water. After gulping it down and taking a short break, he got to work again.

He spent the most time on that stage. He needed to strictly follow the requirements he had set out to create seventy-eight Numinous Treasures that were different in appearance, inscriptions, and function.

Furthermore, there couldn't be any mistakes, as everything had to match his blueprint perfectly so that the Numinous Treasures could have the perfect distribution of the million inscriptions. That way, when they were assembled, they could complement each other and function perfectly.

Everything had to be restarted should there be a failure at any point, since it was crucial to ensure that no mistakes were made. Just like that, after being immersed in the refinement process for a month, Wang Baole emerged, agitated and excited as he had finally completed every single one of the seventy-eight Numinous Treasures.

Even though Wang Baole wasn't completely satisfied with every one of them, considering his level of knowledge, it was the best that he could do. Even the Numinous Treasures that he had made previously weren't as demanding in terms of the amount of concentration and effort needed to produce that batch of Numinous Treasures.

In the month that passed, he was so focused on the improvised structure for the Fire God Cannon that he had forgotten all about his snacks.

The next step will be the most difficult step of assembling everything… Looking at the Numinous Treasures before him, Wang Baole took a deep breath to calm his agitation. He understood that assembling the Numinous Treasures wasn't as simple as putting together pieces of wooden blocks. Instead, they could only be integrated under the control of spirit energy during the refinement process.

That was extremely challenging and shockingly demanding on one's spirit energy and focus. Therefore, Wang Baole only began the assembly process after taking a day's break.

Even though Wang Baole had predicted the level of difficulty in assembling all the Numinous Treasures, he still found it challenging and experienced many instances of failure. That was especially so on the fifth day when the prototype of the Fire God Cannon before Wang Baole suddenly exploded after a loud boom emerged.

Wang Baole managed to protect himself from the impact using the protective covering provided by a Golden Bell Bead. However, looking at the Numinous Treasures that had broken into pieces, Wang Baole was on the brink of tears as he dejectedly pulled his hair hard.

My cultivation is insufficient! A look of stubbornness was apparent from Wang Baole's eyes. After experiencing those failures, he had realized that the assembly of Numinous Treasures required precise control of spirit energy in many aspects. Therefore, as soon as his spirit energy was unable to keep up with the pace of refinement, degradation and retardation would result, causing the assembly process to fail.

Even though Wang Baole surpassed other second level True Breath disciples, he was still unable to complete the assembly in one go. His thoughts darted around as he paced the cave abode, before suddenly stopping in his tracks.

I can only succeed in assembling the Numinous Treasure if I become a third level True Breath! With that thought, Wang Baole gritted his teeth as he planned to purchase more pills. He suddenly lowered his head to look at his stomach, and a bewildered look appeared in his eyes as he stroked it with his hands.

The effectiveness of those pills is probably nothing compared to the crystal in my stomach… Every time my cultivation is activated, some part of the crystal would be absorbed. However, it is still too slow. If the rate of absorption can be increased, I will definitely be able to achieve a breakthrough in my cultivation! Slapping his stomach, Wang Baole immediately sat down with his legs crossed and took out the Numinous Treasure that had the effect of deceiving one's mind, which was given to him by Chen Yutong.

Without hesitation, Wang Baole immediately put the Numinous Treasure on his head and began to give out orders.

”I am heavily injured, and I need nutrients…” As Wang Baole completed his sentence, the helmet-like Numinous Treasure vibrated. A current appeared to reach into his head, but that was it. There wasn't any further reaction.

Wang Baole waited for a short while and was beginning to feel troubled. He tried different commands, including that of hunger and running, and realized that everything had failed. He then stared with his eyes wide, as he felt like he needed to give out a more substantial command.
