X-Dragon Era
Chapter 480: Chapters 349-351 Fire Red Gourd_4
If the Primordial Sovereign had obtained the current Kongtong Seal, there wouldn't have been much he could do either. At most, he could have combined it with half of Mount Buzhou to refine a Postnatal treasure, after all... he didn't have the Chaos Cauldron at hand, unable to reflect Mount Buzhou into an Innate state, leaving it as a Postnatal object.
If he didn't enhance it, the Kongtong Seal wouldn't be very useful, barely sufficient to contend with diamond-tier masters, let alone those above the diamond tier, only able to exert the undying power of its imprint.
Not to mention the Primordial Sovereign—if even Nuwa would probably not succeed, despite having the Chaos Cauldron, as the success rate of reflecting Mount Buzhou into an Innate form was too low. Refining half of Mount Buzhou, if one could preserve ten percent of it, would already be good. If one really did so, it would be a great loss. Even if it became an Innate Spiritual Treasure, its power would be reduced by seventy to eighty percent. And one has to ask... would a Sky-Overturning Seal with its power reduced by seventy to eighty percent still command such great prestige?
But Xin Yun was different. Not only did he have the Chaos Cauldron at hand, but he also had the Sky-opening Axe Soul personally in control, with the success rate practically approaching one hundred percent. If there was ever a loss, it would be exceedingly rare. After all... one's own soul controlling one's own body, how could errors easily occur? This was as rare as someone getting winded while breathing or choking while eating.
For the Dragon Spirit aspect, Xin Yun had already made a decision. Yes... it was the Nine Phantom Divine Dragons within the Mount Buzhou Illusion, the irreplaceable best choice. However, for the material enhancement of the seal body, Xin Yun was at a loss.
Gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin—among these metals, which one should be used to supplement the body of the seal? Gold, silver, and tin were too expensive and too soft, unsuitable for the seal's body. Otherwise, upon striking, the body would dent greatly, making repairs very troublesome.
It's worth mentioning that in this Primordial World, tin was not a cheap metal. Its value lay between gold and silver, cheaper than gold but more expensive than silver, a highly valuable metal.
Since these three metals were ruled out, only iron and copper remained. Comparatively speaking, both had unique characteristics; copper was heavier, while iron was harder. Although they seemed similar, once the accumulated amount became significant, the difference was clear.
For instance, the weight—one cubic meter of copper weighs 8.9 tons, whereas one cubic meter of iron weighs 7.86 tons, a difference of more than a ton. Taking the genuine Sky-Overturning Seal as an example, one wouldn't know how many billion cubic meters it was, and the difference would be too significant.
Xin Yun now needed to decide whether he wanted hardness or weight for the seal. If he chose weight, the body of the seal would easily get damaged; if he chose hardness, the power of the seal would decrease because, after all... the main purpose of the seal was to crush with its weight.
Scratching his head in anguish, after thinking for quite a while, Xin Yun still couldn't make up his mind. Shaking his head, Xin Yun gave a wry smile, no longer continuing to ponder, as he needed to quickly resolve the matter of recruiting masters.
However, before considering the issue of recruiting masters, Xin Yun still needed to take some time to understand the situation of the Red Gourd. Having spent ninety-nine eighty-one periods of time, he didn't know what the Red Gourd had gained after reflecting its Innate nature.
As he contemplated, Xin Yun put away the Kongtong Seal, and with a reach of his right hand, a bright and dripping red gourd appeared before Xin Yun. Looking at this lustrous and red light-circulating Red Gourd, Xin Yun couldn't help but smile. The flowing red light was obviously the manifestation of Innate Spiritual Qi.
Reaching out with his right hand, the Red Gourd automatically flew to Xin Yun's right hand. At the same time, Xin Yun closed his eyes with a smile and sunk his consciousness into the Red Gourd.
As soon as he entered the Red Gourd, a charming girl wearing a bright red dress cheerfully jumped over and hurled herself into Xin Yun's arms. Startled for a moment, Xin Yun quickly realized this was Green Ying.
During the process of reflecting its Innate nature, the Red Gourd absorbed a vast amount of energy and grew quickly. This was reflected in Green Ying, who transformed from a child into a lovely girl of roughly ten years old.
Looking at the exceedingly adorable Green Ying, radiating powerful spiritual aura, Xin Yun tenderly embraced her and asked with a smile, "How is it? Did you make any gains?"
"Mhm, mhm..." Hearing Xin Yun's words, Green Ying nodded and said, "Yes, of course! Under the washing of the Chaos energy, I've grasped the Law of Chaos, successfully transformed the Soul Scattering Shock into a law, and comprehended the Ninety-nine Spirit Scattering Great Array!"
"The Ninety-nine Spirit Scattering Great Array!" Xin Yun exclaimed excitedly upon hearing Green Ying's words.
"Mhm, mhm..." Nodding obediently, Green Ying continued, "With these ninety-nine eighty-one gourd seeds, one can set up the Ninety-nine Spirit Scattering Great Array. The force of Soul Scattering contained within each gourd seed will unify, overwhelming anyone who enters the array with a force increased by eighty-one times!"
"Damn!" Xin Yun couldn't help but curse in amazement upon hearing this. That was incredibly powerful; the Soul Scattering Shock innate to the gourd seeds was already formidable, and now... with the help of the Ninety-nine Spirit Scattering Great Array, being able to unite all the power into one was simply monstrous!
While marveling, Green Ying meekly added, "However, my current understanding of the array is very minor, so it can only be passively laid out for now. It can neither lure people in nor trap them. Once the enemy escapes the array, it loses its power."
Hearing Green Ying's words, Xin Yun paused briefly before quickly coming to terms with the fact that it was a recently gained insight and wasn't studied deeply, so it couldn't be too powerful. Compared to formations like the All-Heaven Divine and Evil Formation, and the Great Array of Zhou Heavenly Stars, it certainly lacked a lot. But its advantage lay in its immense potential for development.
