Chapter 13 Xuanyuan War Chariot (Part 2)
All forging techniques of the Master Teacher Continent have been applied, yet it's still impossible to merge these divine artifacts together. It appears that the strength is still not sufficient.
If one could comprehend the Heavenly Destiny of Artifact Refining, perhaps it could be accomplished.
The Heavenly Destiny of Artifact Refining is a Second Level Heavenly Destiny, divided into two. One is the Heavenly Workshop, renowned in the Source World, with over ninety percent of Origin Warriors across the continent originating from here.
The second is the Ministry of Industry, one of the six departments of the Tianli Empire!
And now, Minister Mo Qianji of the Ministry of Industry was slain by me, his corpse resting within the Suspended Realm.
With a grab in mid-air, the minister's body appeared before me, and I gently touched it with my finger.
Boom!
The Library of Heaven's Path trembled lightly, and a river abruptly emerged.
The Heavenly Destiny of Artifact!
"Absorb!"
Seeing the library as effective as before, successfully condensing a new destiny, Zhang Xuan felt a surge of vitality and began devouring Mo Qianji's corpse.
Whir!
Countless Heavenly Mandate Vitality flooded into the library, transforming into volumes of books, then converted into refined strength, merging into the river.
The Heavenly Destiny of Artifact in the Phantasm Space started as a stream, gradually becoming a river, Yellow River, Yangtze River... eventually resembling an oceanic expanse.
In less than half a day, Zhang Xuan fully refined Mo Qianji's comprehension and insight on artifacts.
Of course, the speed was due to his deep research in artifact forging, along with the auxiliary help from the Creation Jade Butterfly, a peerless treasure capable of birthing an Eternal Divine Soul.
"Who would have thought the first to reach the peak of the Seventh Realm would be the Heavenly Destiny of Artifact!"
Indeed, his comprehension of the Heavenly Destiny of Artifact had already reached the Seventh Realm, far exceeding the sixth realm of the Love Destiny.
Nonetheless, when Mo Qianji was alive, he reached the Eighth Realm, yet purely through refining and devouring, the peak of the Seventh Realm was the limit. To transcend this realm, only through crafting and sudden bouts of inspiration.
But this is already sufficient.
Back then, Jiang Li's comprehension of pill forging was also at this level, yet he forcefully crafted a Peerless Divine Pill.
As long as the material level is sufficient, crafting a Second Level Heavenly Destiny Treasure is not impossible!
"Let's try it!"
Feeling the vast and grand Heavenly Destiny of Artifact above the library, like an oceanic expanse, Zhang Xuan exhaled and again looked at the many weapons yet to be synthesized.
Previously, it was a blur in the mind, not understanding the next steps, but now the patterns and materials of all weapons were clear, as if tempered numerous times.
"No wonder it couldn't merge... The materials used to forge these weapons belong to unique treasures not seen for millennia in the Source World, each possessing distinct powers, merging as one... indeed, very difficult to succeed."
It's akin to concocting medicine, where each is the main ingredient, highly potent, lacking any neutralizing or soothing effects. Adjusting them would likely not achieve a tonic beneficial to the human body.
"Must I abandon it?"
Crafting for so long, even learning the Heavenly Destiny of Artifact... If even this can't lead to success, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?
But... these materials are too formidable!
For instance, the Chengde Sword is forged from Shou Mountain Dark Copper combined with Nine Heavens Meteorite Iron. One contains the phenomena of Emperor's worship, another harbors Star Power, merging these two alone is the lifetime limit of a grandmaster, merging more is nearly impossible!
As for the Nine Heavens Celestial Sound Zither, made of Phoenix Perch Wood, Nine Nether Heavenly Silkworm Silk, Star Resonance Stone, each equally precious. The reason they complement each other is the Heavenly Sound Pavilion Master from 7000 years ago, who merged his entire force using his life as the medium.
The Execution Lock's Sinful Profound Iron, Judge's Blood Ink; Golden Armor Battle Puppet's Dragon Blood Golden Paint, Xuanwu Meteorite Iron...
Finding even one piece normally is difficult, synthesis is harder.
The formation of each weapon requires countless efforts; if Zhang Xuan manages to merge many divine artifacts in such a short time, it would indeed be peculiar!
Not even the mighty Emperor Fusheng could accomplish it.
Even using Power Destiny to forcibly bind them, they would still separate in critical life-threatening moments.
Unions under high pressure are never reliable.
"Wait... I can use Love Destiny to fuse! Love can resolve everything, can merge everything..."
Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed, a realization surfaced in the heart.
If crafting, grinding, suppressing... various methods cannot merge these weapons, then... what about Love Destiny?
My Love Silk can connect Power Destiny, Karma Destiny, Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony, Heavenly Destiny of Artifact...
In essence, various destinies can fuse, weapons are no exception.
"Let's try it!"
At this thought, the heart surged with heat, a flick of the wrist, many weapons he synthesized fell uniformly into the River of Love Destiny, washed and forged by the vitality within.
Moments later, numerous weapons melted away, their surfaces revealing layers of fine silk, like fermented soybeans, or cut-off lotus roots.
This fine silk was all condensed by Love Silk, firm and unbreakable, intertwined and complex.
"It's done!"
Zhang Xuan was excited.
Initially thought all these efforts would end in failure, but at the last moment, relying again on the Love Destiny, the fusion was completed.
Boom!
Numerous weapons perfectly merged, forming an elliptical war chariot.
The Golden Armor War Chariot as the skin, Execution Lock and Golden Armor Battle Puppet as the bones, Chengde Sword as the edge, Nine Heavens Celestial Sound Zither as the strings...
With the aid of Love Silk, these weapons indeed formed an unprecedented artifact.
"I wonder what level it is, and its functions!"
Curiously, Zhang Xuan examined it, touching a finger on it, and a drop of blood was absorbed instantly.
Buzz!
The next moment, a spiritual ripple flowed into his mind, revealing the power and terror of the weapon.
"Star Track Jump... can burn Heavenly Mandate Vitality, traverse space, even if locked by Mountain River Order, can break through directly..."
"All Heaven Star Armor, infused with power, can reveal the Grand Constellation on its surface, deflect attacks from the peak of Bodhisattva Realm, even... a full-powered strike from the Buddha!"
"Chengde Breaking Formation can break illusionary power with great momentum, not only cutting the River of Destiny, but also severing Causality Lines..."
Sensing the strength and features the war chariot provided, Zhang Xuan's face turned red with excitement, head dizzy.
Though its rank as a Second Level Heavenly Destiny Treasure wasn't confirmed, its level was undoubtedly superior to Chengde Sword!
This means the war chariot composed of many weapons, although it might not surpass the Crown Prince's Mountain River Order, is nearly on par, even exceeding in combat mastery and defense capability.
Most importantly, this was still a semi-finished product, able to synthesize more weapons using Love Silk.
In the future, when Mountain River Order, Little Jade Seal, and other treasures are synthesized within, the war chariot's power will undoubtedly grow stronger.
"Since it's a chariot, let's call it... the Xuanyuan War Chariot!"
Zhang Xuan decided the name.
Simultaneously, at the very center of the continent, on a huge island within the Sea of Moment, eight tombstones suddenly emitted light.
Elder Ouyang Hai's silhouette flashed out, eyes falling upon the tombstones.
Only to see eight tombstones simultaneously shoot out beams of light, revealing large characters slowly in the sky—
Second Level Heavenly Destiny Treasure, ranked 18th, Xuanyuan War Chariot.
