Look at the 'Blue Sky Sword' that is quietly entrenched above the 'Original Pearl', rising and falling slightly with the flow of the surrounding 'spiritual energy'.
Gao Yuan's heart suddenly moved.
Almost instantly, in response to his spiritual consciousness, the mini version of the 'Blue Sky Sword' trembled all over.
Suddenly it turned into a flash of green light and disappeared.
At the same time, a green shadow flashed in front of Gao Yuan, and a long single-edged sword about a foot long appeared out of thin air two feet in front of his chest.
The latter was very illusory at first, like a hazy projection.
But as his thoughts changed, the blade of the long knife suddenly became restrained and materialized.
There were no unusual fluctuations or lights on its surface, and it just floated quietly in front of Gao Yuan.
But there is a touch of indestructible sharpness that shines from the surface of the blade.
Gao Yuan remained seated, quietly sizing up the 'Blue Sky Sword' in front of him, which was all green and shaped like a swimming dragon.
The latter has no handle and looks a bit like a throwing knife.
The slender blade is imprinted with strange lines that are slightly lighter in color.
The tip of the knife is slightly upward, and the overall shape presents a very smooth streamlined arc.
While looking at the blade of the 'Blue Sky Sword', Gao Yuan also quietly realized that novel sense of connection in his heart.
This feeling is very strange, yet extremely natural.
It was completely different from when he controlled the magic weapon in the past. He didn't even need to find out the thread of divine consciousness and be constantly connected to it for guidance.
This 'Blue Sky Sword' is like his arm, a partial extension of his body, and has a close connection with him.
No matter what he thinks in his mind, he can implement his thoughts on this 'Blue Sky Knife' without any delay, just like his arms and fingers, without the need to convey it through the thread of spiritual consciousness.
"This feeling of no delay at all is truly amazing!"
After feeling it for a long time, Gao Yuan said to himself in wonderment.
After a slight pause, his eyes suddenly looked towards the opposite wall.
No need to think about giving orders, no need to even think.
Just like instinct, the 'Blue Sky Sword' that was floating quietly in front of him flashed quickly.
Almost teleporting, it poured silently into the center of the opposite wall.
This stone wall, suppressed by rammed earth and reinforced by formations, was as fragile as tofu in front of this 'Blue Sky Sword'.
At the same time, a feeling of feedback, like a personal attack, was also clearly and unusually reflected in Gao Yuan's heart.
"That's right, whether it's the specific power or the experience of using it, all aspects are unmatched by magical weapons!"
"Although it has not been tested in detail, based on the momentum of the attack just now, the power of this 'Blue Sky Sword' should not be worse than ordinary high-grade talismans!"
Looking at the 'blue sky knife' that flashed back according to his own thoughts, Gao Yuan said to himself with a satisfied look on his face.
Although speaking of it, it is a magic weapon that only a Hunyuan realm monk can control.
Its specific power can only be compared with the high-grade talismans of the Kaiyuan Realm, and it seems to have no real power.
But in fact, the 'Blue Sky Sword' in front of him has only just completed the preliminary refining process.
The power it displayed at this time was not even 10% of what it was in the final stage.
After all, the 'Blue Sky Sword' at this time has not yet been infused and nourished by 'spiritual energy'.
To put it more strictly, it is not even a real magic weapon.
At best, it can only be regarded as a 'prototype of magic weapon'.
Only after his subsequent use of 'spiritual energy' and continuous infusion and cultivation, will the true power of this 'Blue Sky Sword' be gradually revealed.
This is significantly different from the talisman whose power is completely solidified once it is successfully refined, and which is essentially a one-time consumable.
At this thought, Gao Yuan's mind condensed slightly.
Without the help of spiritual exploration, he could sense a gray and unknown space through the close mental connection with the 'Blue Sky Knife'.
It was empty inside, except for a faint mysterious symbol suspended in the central area.
This gray space is the 'True Seal Space' opened up inside the 'Blue Sky Sword' as a magic weapon.
And that mysterious symbol is the core of the 'Blue Sky Sword' - the True Seal of the Sky!
From Gao Yuan's special perspective through telepathy, this 'Splitting Sky True Seal' was only the size of a fist.
Compared with the 'True Seal Space' where it is located, which has an inner diameter of at least ten feet, it appears to be extremely small.
At this time, trace amounts of 'spiritual energy' are constantly being sucked into this 'real seal space'.
And on the surface of the 'Split Sky True Seal', waves of obscure vibrations are constantly coming out.
Affected by it, the "spiritual energy" swimming in the "True Seal Space" spontaneously gathered near the "Split Sky True Seal" as if being guided.
Then it was absorbed by the latter and slowly integrated into the body.
And with the integration of these 'auras', the halo flowing on the surface of the 'Split Sky True Seal' became more and more brilliant.
On its outer edge, filaments resembling granulations sprout from time to time and spontaneously spread toward its surrounding area, making it have a faint tendency to expand outward.
"Is this the process of 'cultivation of spiritual energy' of the magic weapon as described on the jade slip of "Blue Sky Sword"?"
“It’s really amazing!”
Gao Yuan said sincerely with a look of admiration on his face as he felt the process of the 'Splitting Sky True Seal' growing itself by continuously devouring 'spiritual energy' inside the Blue Sky Knife.
According to the description on the jade slip that recorded the "Blue Sky Sword", the cultivation cycle of the magic weapon will be divided into three stages: initial completion, small completion, and Dacheng as the core true seal continues to grow.
The specific power of the magic weapon will also continue to increase as the core 'true seal' gradually grows stronger.
Moreover, every time a magic weapon is cultivated and promoted to the next stage, it will undergo an obvious transformation and sublimation.
And this kind of transformation and sublimation will also greatly strengthen the power of the magic weapon.
And during this period, because of the close spiritual connection, the magic weapon refiner can also intervene to a certain extent in the direction of the improvement of the magic weapon according to his own needs.
Taking the Blue Sky Sword as an example, even though it is only a low-grade magic weapon, it has several branches of improvement such as 'escape speed' and 'sharpness'.
This feeling of customization made Gao Yuan feel extremely novel.
It's as if this 'Blue Sky Sword' magic weapon is not a purely dead object at all, but a pet with flesh and blood that can be cultivated and grown!
"Tsk, it's really hard to let go!"
"It would be great if the refining method of "Blue Sky Sword" could be judged as a skill by the system as a whole, and then it could be 'deduced' for promotion!"
After being silent for a while, Gao Yuan said softly with some regret.
Unlike when he refined other artifacts in the past, this time his process of refining the 'Blue Sky Sword' was not judged as a skill by the system.
This made Gao Yuan, who had always been lucky and opened the system panel to check the situation as soon as the magic weapon was refined, felt extremely disappointed.
But then he thought about it and felt that this situation was very reasonable.
Because in the entire refining process of the 'Blue Sky Sword', apart from controlling the 'Spirit Fusion True Flame' and providing some relatively suitable refining environments, in fact his own participation was not high.
Most of the work was done by himself after he extracted the 'Split Sky True Seal' from the 'Split Sky Stone' according to the secret method.
Just like the current 'Splitting Kong Zhenyin', it absorbs the 'spiritual energy' from the outside world and grows on its own, without his guidance and involvement at all.
Therefore, after refining the 'Blue Sky Sword', there is no new corresponding magic weapon refining skill in his skill bar.
On the contrary, the secret method he used to extract the 'Splitting Sky Seal' passed the system's judgment and was included in the skill column.
But the effect of the latter is just to improve the efficiency of extracting the 'Split Space True Seal'.
Unless he has plans to refine the 'Blue Sky Sword' in batches later, this skill will hardly be of any use.
As for the ‘Splitting Sky Knife’, as a low-grade magic weapon, it cannot be promoted through ‘deduction’ by the system.
This means that its growth limit will not be too high and it can only be used as an emergency transition within a short period of time.
Therefore, after Gao Yuan refined it, he had no intention of practicing the secret technique of 'Heart Forging' recorded in the jade slips to further refine the 'Blue Sky Sword' into a natal magic weapon.
"But even so, as long as I invest a lot of 'spiritual energy', I can cultivate this 'Blue Sky Sword' to the stage of perfection in the shortest possible time."
"At least at this stage, it is definitely my strongest attack method, bar none!"
"At that time, I will not say that I will use this to walk sideways among Hunyuan Realm monks, but it will still be very useful when used to hunt monsters such as 'Weird Demons'!"
"Therefore, until there is no better choice, this early investment in 'spiritual energy' must be spent as it should be!"
While thinking, Gao Yuan put the 'Blue Sky Sword' into his body, and then took out two more jade slips, each of which recorded various talismans.
These two jade slips were both taken by him at the Alliance Auction's 'Gongshu Book Special' last time.
Under the strict restrictions of the Inner Demon's Oath not to be spread to outsiders, these two jade slips each recorded more than ten kinds of 5-7 level talismans, which were not very expensive.
The jade slip, which recorded 12 kinds of talisman formations, was finally sold for 980,000 intermediate spiritual stones.
As for the other letter, it contains 17 kinds of talisman formations, and the number of level 7 talisman formations is also one more.
Its final price was also much more expensive, and he finally won it for 1.54 million intermediate spiritual stones.
Although this cost a lot of spiritual stones, Gao Yuan felt that it was very worth it.
In his heart, he is increasingly looking forward to the future "Unmanned Puppet Plan".
The appearance of these two jade slips further enhanced his 'talisman array library' reserves.
And as the number of talisman formations he mastered increased, he became more and more confident in designing his own 'unmanned puppet'.
…
Deep in the 'Grey Desert', outside the North No. 16 area.
Gao Yuan's figure was like electricity, bringing up violent surging air currents, sweeping backwards towards the 'blue area' not far away.
His attire today is quite strange compared to past days.
In addition to the 'combat belt' that he had improved several times, his two shoulders were also much bloated than usual.
At first glance, it looks like it has two extra heads.
Opposite him was a 'Weird Demon' that had just activated its 'Crystalization' ability and its speed had greatly increased.
At this time, it was falling tightly behind him, leaping up in the air from time to time, drawing back its waist and spreading its claws to pounce towards him.
Whenever this happens, Gao Yuan's right arm will quickly gather three layered and regular colors of gold, blood, and gray, followed by a burst of astonishing energy fluctuations, suddenly blasting out.
He had a head-on blow with the 'devil' that was chasing him and swooping towards him.
While knocking the latter back, he also used his strength to retreat towards the 'blue area' at a faster speed.
In the process, one person and one demon flew seven or eight miles each, and gradually came to the area where the 'blue and yellow' meet.
Gao Yuan saw this, his heart moved, and he immediately decided not to waste any more time.
I saw him shouting secretly, and the 'Burning Blood' and 'Burning Sky Style' were activated instantly.
The 'Tian Jue Gang Jin' wrapped around him instantly entered a highly active state.
At the same time, he clenched his right hand into a fist and instantly blasted out the 'Collapse Mountain Style' superimposed with the 'Tianshaking Fist Strength'.
The 'weird demon' on the other side who saw him stop and swooped in again struck a blow in the air.
"Dang~!"
The Qingyue sound was like the huge impact of a bell, with a curling aftertaste, mixed with the violent surge of invisible energy, spreading in all directions.
At the same time, the whole body of the "Weird Demon" on the opposite side shook violently, and then staggered back more than ten steps, and then managed to stabilize his body.
"Ho~!"
This turn of events was obviously beyond the expectation of this 'weird demon', causing it to roar in a mixture of fright and anger.
Then he shrank slightly and lowered his body, as if facing a formidable enemy.
In comparison, Gao Yuan's performance was much calmer.
I saw him swaying, his body slightly retreating half a step, and then he easily relieved the force of the counter-shock.
Looking at the somewhat embarrassed 'weird demon' across from him, there was no trace of surprise on his face.
Different from the first time he encountered the 'Weird Demon', at this time he had already entered the second level of Hunyuan Realm.
Whether it is his 'spiritual power storage limit' or the 'condensation degree' of his 'spiritual power', there has been a considerable improvement.
Affected by this, the strength of the 'body-protecting Qi', which is directly related to one's own 'spiritual power level', naturally increases.
The power of his "Four Heavenly Styles" has also made great progress on the original basis.
In addition, the strength of the 'Weird Demon' opposite is not too strong, which is at the level of 'Breath of Another World 4'.
In the previous pursuit, he was able to deal with the latter's attacks with ease.
Not to mention that in this hit just now, he superimposed the huge bonus of ‘Burning Sky Style’ and ‘Burning Blood’!
This 'weird demon' was not only repelled by him with one blow, but was even slightly injured, which was all expected.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to do some tests on the other party this time.
After encountering it, he didn't even need to retreat to the 'blue area', he could defeat it just by standing there for a few times!
While his thoughts were turning, the movements of Gao Yuan's hands did not stop at all.
After knocking back the 'weird demon' with one punch, a clear 'click' sound suddenly came from his shoulders on both sides.
At the same time, the two high bulges on his shoulders instantly resembled the sails of a satellite, each expanding by more than a meter on both sides.
Along with a series of slightly overlapping 'buzzing' sounds, bright streams of light lit up from the two 'sail boards'.
In an instant, there was a violent shock in the vitality of the surrounding heaven and earth.
Four cone-shaped energy beams of different colors shot out from the two 'sail boards' and instantly hit the 'Weird Demon' opposite who had just stood firm.
"Ke~ke~ke..."
"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh..."
"Puff~puff~puff..."
"Chi~chi~chi..."
Under the cover of these four light pillars, accompanied by a series of dense and different strange sounds, four completely different substances, with the body of this 'weird demon' as the center, overlapped and materialized.
The first thing that took effect was the white light emitted from Gao Yuan's left shoulder.
Under its illumination, a thick layer of white frost instantly appeared on the surface of the body of the strange demon.
At the same time, extremely tough vines also appeared out of thin air around the body of this 'weird demon', each one like a python, spontaneously wrapping around its body.
On this basis, countless milky-white spider webs, mixed with a fluffy yellow-green mucus that was extremely viscous, gathered densely around this 'weird demon', as if every opportunity was found.
Like rice dumplings soaked in honey, they were tied in place in layers.
"Ho~!"
When this 'weird demon' saw this, it immediately let out an angry roar and struggled even more crazily.
As the layers of white frost covering its body continued to fall off, a "crunching" sound gradually came from the vines.
As for the outermost cobwebs and mucus, they were even more overwhelmed, breaking and peeling off from time to time.
During this period, Gao Yuan just stood there quietly.
Carefully observe this 'weird demon', entangled with the four talisman arrays on his shoulders powered by 'advanced spiritual stones'.
Whenever the hoarfrost peels off, the vines break, and the cobwebs and mucus are thrown off, more hoarfrost, vines, cobwebs, and mucus will be generated out of thin air again under the illumination of the light beams emitted by these four talismans.
No matter how this 'weird demon' roars angrily and struggles wildly, it's still like prey caught in a trap.
It is impossible to free yourself from the superimposed control of these four layers of restraints.
And with the fierce struggle of this 'weird demon', these four layers of bindings are still tightening little by little.
Looking at the situation on the field, it was actually the four talisman arrays on Gao Yuan's shoulders that gradually gained the upper hand!
"Tsk, although the levels of these four talisman formations have not yet been 'deduced' to level eight due to consumption reasons, after all, they have been deduced three times at level seven."
"This time, the 'Advanced Spiritual Stone' is used as an energy source. With the cooperation of each other, it has been possible to directly trap the 'Weird Demon' when its strength is not too strong!"
"In this way, when I hunt the 'Weird Demon', I no longer need to spend a lot of third-level 'Jade Talisman' to assist in the battle, and the cost of future hunting will also be greatly reduced!"
"It's just that, in this way, the consumption speed of 'Advanced Spiritual Stones' will be greatly increased. If you see it in the exclusive trading area again in the future, you should hoard as much as possible!"
"Tsk, if I had known earlier, I would have bought more of the 'Advanced Spiritual Stones' when they were cheap!"
Gao Yuan sighed helplessly when he thought of the 'advanced spiritual stone' exchange ratio that had doubled compared to before.
Seeing that the 'Weird Demon' on the opposite side was struggling more and more weakly under the continuous control of the four talisman formations, his mind flashed, and two teardrop-shaped pot-bellied puppets appeared in front of him.
I saw these two big-bellied puppets, guided by the lofty threads of spiritual consciousness, each quickly circled around the unable to move 'devil' on the opposite side.
In a series of 'Puff~Puff~Puff~' sounds, second-level talismans of different shapes were neatly arranged around this 'weird demon'.
After doing all this, Gao Yuan had a thought in his mind, and the 'Blue Sky Sword' appeared in front of him, bringing with it a series of afterimages and intensive slashing sounds, and continuously slashed at the 'Weird Demon' on the opposite side.
.
At the same time, Gao Yuan's spiritual consciousness also spread out, carefully paying attention to the changes in the 'weird demon' on the opposite side.
When he discovered that the latter had lost its 'crystallized' state and started to display its 'clone' ability, he directly detonated the second-order talismans around it.
A moment later, the 'Blue Sky Sword' that had just retreated flashed out again.
As if teleporting, it struck directly at the 'clone' that had just jumped up on the opposite side.
In an instant, the 'weird demon', whose strength had been greatly reduced due to the heavy damage and the use of the 'clone' ability, was cut diagonally into two pieces.
"Breath of Another World 4..."
After the gray and white fonts of the system flashed before his eyes, Gao Yuan felt relieved.
He stepped forward skillfully and dug out the 'advanced crystallized magic core' from the body of this 'weird demon'.
"Well, so far, apart from this kind of energy ocean that is detonated in advance, there is no better way to target the ability of the 'Devil's Clone'."
"Besides, the effect of ordinary spell attacks is still a little bit poor. If you don't pay attention, the 'devil' will take the opportunity to escape into the void."
Gao Yuan frowned slightly and muttered to himself helplessly.
"At this time, it would be great if we could have a sustained ability to gather monsters!"
He whispered secretly in his heart.
At the same time, he subconsciously thought of the mysterious man from back then.
When it comes to the ability to gather monsters, is there anything comparable to the ability shown by the latter?
Now, as his strength has improved, his horizons and knowledge have also expanded.
He has vaguely realized that the ability used by the mysterious man at the beginning should be a rare 'supernatural power'.
And judging from the way the latter was deployed and directly covered a valley, it was still a 'supernatural power' that had been cultivated to an extremely advanced level!
"By the way, I have been in the Hunyuan Realm for so long. I have even refined the magic weapon 'Blue Sky Sword', but I have not officially started practicing my 'supernatural power' yet."
"Well, after a while, after you have improved your strength a little more and cultivated the 'Blue Sky Sword' to a level above Xiaocheng, the next step is to start practicing the 'supernatural power'!"
"Just in time, the 'Breath of Another World' is gradually becoming abundant, and the third level of body training should be officially included in the follow-up plan!"
As his mind turned, Gao Yuan no longer delayed, his figure swayed, and he rushed straight towards the 'yellow area'.
After his great improvement in strength, his battery life has also been improved, and he no longer has to hunt one or two 'weird demons' a day like before!
