440 Chapter 440
“It should be here, Yingluo.”
An hour later, Xia Pingan arrived at a high-class residential area in the southern part of the undying city. He stood in front of a Vermillion gate and looked up at the house number on the wall beside the gate-spirit 98, tianyao Lane.
On both sides of the alley, there were houses of similar size. This house was the ” Ling ” house in the undying city. This ” Ling ” house sounded like a haunted place, but the environment was not bad. Outside the courtyard, there was a three-meter white wall. There were also fluorescent lamps in the alley. It looked very high-class, much better than the courtyards of ordinary hotels and inns.
Xia ping ‘an looked around. The alley was very quiet, and there were not many people around. He walked straight to the steps, took out the Golden Key, and inserted it into the lock. He turned the key, and the door opened. It was indeed here.
The undying city was underground, so the vegetation in the courtyard was suitable for those strange things that grew underground. A few huge mushrooms stood in the courtyard. They were over two meters tall and each mushroom was like a small pavilion. Under the mushrooms was a thick layer of moss, which looked a little magical.
There was a pond in the courtyard. The fish in the pond were unique to the underground world. Their bodies were like glass. They were translucent and glowed. A school of colorful fish, red, blue, and green, swam in the water and glowed. In the dark, they looked pretty if they didn’t use night vision.
After entering the courtyard and closing the door, Xia Pingan summoned the Child of Fortune and the Black Dragon. He let the Child of Fortune and the Black Dragon walk around the courtyard, the rooms, and the underground secret rooms. After making sure that there were no problems, he was finally relieved.
A few minutes later, Xia Pingan was standing in the courtyard, holding the array board of the yin and yang disorienting Ice and Fire sword array that he had previously made. He buried the array board directly under the few big mushrooms. As soon as the array board was buried, the magic art was activated, and the entire courtyard was shrouded in fog. It had already been shrouded by the array that Xia Pingan had set up.
Although the array board of the yin and yang illusionary trace Ice and Fire sword array was not very powerful, it should be enough to protect the house against ordinary invasions. Even a powerhouse of the seven-sun realm or eight-sun realm would need some time to break the array board. This would give him enough time to warn and react.
After burying an array disk in the courtyard, Xia Pingan heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that this courtyard was a little more interesting. At least, he would not have to be on tenterhooks when he fell asleep.
After that, Xia Pingan came to the underground secret room in the courtyard.
The underground secret room in this courtyard was more than 200 square meters in size. The floor and walls of the secret room were covered with a layer of rock and a layer of metal armor, which looked quite hard. However, this was only on the surface. Xia Pingan had not forgotten how he and Yan Xi had killed the righteous sect’s sect leader Wei Jiangxing, who was fusing with the realm Pearl in the secret room, as if he was killing a chicken.
Xia ping ‘an didn’t want to be attacked by someone when she was fusing with the realm bead one day. That would be a tragedy.
At this moment, Xia Pingan had a Saint master’s realm Pearl and a blacksmith’s realm Pearl on him, and they were about to fuse. Although Xia Pingan was burning with desire and wanted to fuse the realm pearls immediately, he could not be careless before the fusion.
Today, Liangtian’s tortoiseshell five elements reversal formation had given Xia ping ‘an a lot of inspiration.
Xia Pingan pondered for a moment, then took out a pile of gold coins from the secret room and began to refine the array disc.
In the pitch-black Secret room, the high temperature of the flame appeared to be dense.
Half an hour later, the gold coin melted in the fire and gradually turned into an octagonal array embryo.
After that, Xia Pingan continued to refine. Three golden turtles, four small swords, and the five elements array weapons representing metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were refined one by one. Although Xia Pingan only had gold coins on hand, the formation could convert the five elements. As long as he had one thing, he could refine it. The five elements were complete. With metal to water, with water to wood, with wood to fire, with fire to earth, with earth to metal, the five elements were not lacking.
Metal array disks were more durable, more malleable, and could withstand more array patterns, so they were widely used. Under special circumstances, if one wasn’t picky, wood, ice, and soil could be used to make array disks.
When these array tools were added to the array position of the array embryo, the array base would be formed.
As the spells were cast, the formation base in the flames gradually changed its shape. From time to time, there were strange formation patterns integrated into it. The formation eye and the formation door gradually condensed into a dense mist.
Finally, two days later, Xia Pingan retracted his spell and an eight-trigram array disc with a restrained light steadily fell into his hand from the air. On the array disc, a few golden turtles could be seen standing on three feet, each with their heads raised to the sky. There was a small golden sword in each of the Qian, kun, li, and kan positions.
I’ve become a Taowu. Xia Pingan grinned and let out a long breath. Because of the accumulated experience of refining the array disc before, the process of refining the array disc was unusually smooth. It was both a practice and a breakthrough. This array disc was slightly stronger than the one from Liangtian. It was the tortoiseshell five elements reversal Eight Trigrams sword array, which had stronger defense and attack power.
There was the yin and yang sword formation outside the secret room and the formation disk inside. It was enough.
Xia Pingan threw out the formation disk and cast a magic art. The formation disk immediately melted into the void while a layer of faint white fog appeared around the secret room. At this moment, although nothing seemed to have changed in the secret room, it was already under the protection of the formation.
After two consecutive days of refining the array discs, Xia Pingan was still in high spirits. He was full of energy and did not feel tired at all. Thinking about the integration of the important realm beads next, Xia Pingan drank some water and ate some food in the secret chamber. Then, he closed his eyes and rested for two hours. When his energy had recovered to its peak, he opened his eyes and took out a box from the spatial warehouse.
He had obtained this box from the steward’s Hall. The box was split into two layers. The upper layer contained two realm pearls. The sagemaster realm Pearl was as warm as Jade, and it flashed with a rainbow-like light. Within the rainbow-like light, the statue of Kong Zi could be seen.
The forger’s realm Pearl was a deep and solemn black color. There was a flame spurting out from the middle of the realm Pearl. Within the flame, there was the shadow of a long sword and the three words ” Ou Yezi “. After fusing with a forger’s realm Pearl, one could cast a long sword magic weapon. However, if one wanted to cast other magic weapons, they would have to fuse with different tool soul realm pearls. To a certain extent, the fusion of tool soul realm pearls was more difficult.
On the second layer of the box was a spiritual crystal. On the crystal was the words “Ou Yezi.” This was the spiritual crystal of a forger.
The sagemaster world bead didn’t have a spiritual will crystal. After fusing with the sagemaster world bead, whether or not one could obtain a Dao imparting position seemed to be a long process. It completely depended on one’s ability, talent, and comprehension.
After Xia Pingan’s gaze wandered around the two realm beads, he summoned the Black Tortoise to guard the secret room for the time being. Then, he picked up the forger’s realm bead and the spiritual will crystal of the forger’s realm bead and began to drip his blood to fuse them.
Ou Yezi and general Moxie were of the same generation. They were both great swordsmithing Masters. The three of them had gone to Chu and forged the Longyuan, tai ‘a, and Gongbu swords for the King of Chu. The reason why the forger’s realm Pearl was Ou Yezi and not general Moxie was probably because Ou Yezi was the most important person who had continued the path of swordsmithing. Not only did Ou Yezi forge the chunjun, shengxie, Yuchang, and juque bronze swords, he had also forged the first iron sword in Chinese history-the Longyuan. He had accomplished an epoch-making feat and led the Bronze Age to the Iron Age.
The clear Sable sword forged by Ou Yezi was known as the number one godly sword in the world. It became a symbol of the rise and fall of a country. The swords forged by Ou Yezi, such as the fish intestine, were also very famous in history. They were associated with many historical figures and events.
Xia Pingan had never seen the zhanlu sword before, but from the bits and pieces in the history books, the zhanlu sword was regarded as a national treasure by Yue country when it was forged. Feng Menglong said in the ” records of the countries of Dong Zhou ” that the zhanlu sword was made of ” the heroes of five metals “. This zhanlu sword could cut iron as if it were mud. It might be the first super-alloy sword in history, which was even better than the iron sword, the deep dragon.
The information provided by the telepathic thought crystal introduced Ou Yezi’s life. It also emphasized that Ou Yezi’s metallurgy and casting techniques were learned from his mother and uncle Yingluo.
A moment later, Xia Pingan was surrounded by a cocoon of light.
An hour later, the cocoon of light broke. Xia Pingan opened his eyes. In his eyes, two clear, pale golden sword shadows slowly dissipated in the flames.
This realm Pearl increased Xia Pingan’s divine power by 128 points. Xia Pingan had officially become a weapon forging master, and a weapon forging Hall had been built in the secret mandala. The person in charge of the weapon forging Hall was none other than Ou Yezi.
After a moment of silence, Xia ping ‘an picked up the sagemaster’s realm Pearl that she had admired for a long time.
Before the integration, Xia Pingan went through Kong Zi’s life and works in his mind. After making sure that he did not miss out anything, he began to integrate them with his blood.
In a daze, Xia ping ‘an opened her eyes and was shocked by what she saw.
In front of him was a huge, empty Hall. A huge plaque hung on the hall with the words ” sagemaster Hall ” written on it. The empty space in the hall was densely packed with people kneeling. There were no less than three to four thousand of them. All of them were dressed in Confucian clothes and were looking at him respectfully, as if they were studying with an open mind.
He was sitting on a high platform. Behind the high platform were 20 towering granite pillars, each of which was carved with huge golden words.
On the twenty pillars, there were exactly twenty articles from the Analects of Confucius.
On the highest stone pillar behind Xia ping ‘an was the first article of the Analects of Confucius,”learning is the first,” which said, ” “Isn’t it easy to learn and practice? Isn’t it fun to have friends from afar? A man who doesn’t know but doesn’t cower, isn’t that a gentleman?”
“Sir, please teach us!” The 3,000 to 4000 people in the hall shouted in unison. Their voices rumbled as they bowed to Xia Pingan in the ancient way of the Dao.
Xia ping ‘an looked around and finally found that the sacred Master Hall was not anywhere else, but in his secret mandala. It was a new building in the secret mandala, a Suan ni.
