Chapter 453: Memory transmission

"If you guys are still living with me, I’ll do my best to help you evolve. But, I want to make it clear that even though you are with me, once I find out you have a different thought, I will not show you any mercy."

Shi Yan mused as his face darkened. "Maybe my current cultivation base isn’t enough to subdue you, but I believe that I can oppress you all one day. If any of you have the guts to betray me or do something harmful to me, even if you can run to the ends of the world, I’ll make you pay a big price. I’ll exterminate every trace of your existence!"

The five living beings didn’t send him any message.

"Good then. I’m done with the bad words. Currently, I want to become a blacksmith, but I don’t know anything about blacksmithing. Can any of you help me with this?"

"I can."

Unexpectedly, all five living beings sent him their thoughts simultaneously.

Shi Yan dropped his jaw.

"I can tell you the refining method. What the Holy Spirit Sect used to create me, I can also tell you that," explained the Holy Spirit God.

"That year, many blacksmiths had come to the center of the earth to borrow the melting heat of lava there to refine their secret treasures. As I was being stashed inside the scorching lava, I got to know some refining methods from those blacksmiths," said the Earth Flame.

"I don’t know much, but I know the refining methods to create living beings like us. People from the Heavenly Palace had carved some refining formations on my body." Unexpectedly, even the Devouring Gold Silkworm had answered him. It seemed after the Devouring Gold Silkworm had obtained the Immortal Blood, its manners towards Shi Yan had a great change.

"I also have some formations to forge secret treasures," replied the King of Demonic Insects.

"I have some memories of the blacksmith!" The Ice Cold Flame confidently sent him a message. "If I impart these memory imprints to your head, you can become a blacksmith!"

The Holy Spirit God, the Earth Flame, the Devouring Gold Silkworm, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Ice Cold Flame, all sent him a positive answer telling him that they knew something subtle about blacksmithing.

Especially the Ice Cold Flame, whose soul was once occupied by a blacksmith, as it had a telepathic connection with that blacksmith. That was how it knew all the refining methods from that blacksmith. This surprised Shi Yan the most.

"Good! Excellent!"

Shi Yan laughed, as he was incredibly joyful. He wanted to fabricate something, but he couldn’t become any sect’s disciple. When he asked those living beings, he hadn’t held any big expectations. Anyway, they weren’t human beings, so he didn’t think that they could help him much.

Turned out it was beyond his expectation. Each of them knew something about the refining methods more or less.

"We’ll start with the Holy Spirit God. Please tell me the refining methods. Use the Soul Consciousness to lecture them all to me." Shi Yan sat down neatly in the vault, smiled and waited for the Soul Consciousness of the Holy Spirit God.

Flows of Soul Consciousness with all kinds of method to condense and refine the Holy Spirit God started to be imparted into his brain.

The method to create the Holy Spirit God was the most precious method of the Holy Spirit Sect in the Endless Sea. Beside the Cult Master of the Holy Spirit Sect, even the senior elders in the sects with a profound cultivation base couldn’t know about this.

The Holy Spirit God was the condensed essence of refining. It knew the details of the refining process. Each beam of Soul Consciousness had become each fiber of memory in Shi Yan’s brain, directly showing him the subtle features.

The method to refine the Holy Spirit God was really mysterious. They had collected many strange demonic beasts, fine souls of human warriors, together with the other rare treasures with Yin features. All of these were then smelted in the Black Yin Cauldron, which was burned by more than ten Nirvana Realm, Sky Realm and God Realm warriors of the Holy Spirit Sect. They had imprinted their thoughts in it to nurture the blended soul inside the cauldron. Through many years of being refined and discharging impurities, the Holy Spirit God was gradually formed.

Once the Holy Spirit God had its own consciousness, all disciples of the Holy Spirit Sect would put their faith power in it to provide it a constant and torrential, peculiar energy to boost its growing pace. The Holy Spirit God then absorbed the Qi from heaven and earth for years before it had finally become the real Holy Spirit God.

This kind of refining method was strange, very different from the other standard methods.

They used the soul to refine, collected faith power and Qi from earth and firmament to condense, and the heavenly lightning to filter impurities. With only the ordinary train of thought, one wouldn’t get to know the ingenious, mystical details related to it.

As he was taking in the beams of pure thoughts in his head with the mysterious characteristics, Shi Yan was panic-stricken and moved, but he sat still. It was unknown how long it had been since the Holy Spirit God stopped sending its memories. Shi Yan was sinking into the state of mysterious refining conditions. He didn’t recognize what was happening in the outside world. His body was now in a magical state, as both his heart and mind were learning from the imparted experiences to explain this marvelous refining method.

It was like a brand-new roll of drawing was gradually unfolded in his head. Through many details of the Holy Spirit God’s refining process, he had another level of knowledge, deeper than what he had known about the earth and the firmament.

Using the power of earth and firmament, and carving the ancient refining formations which carried all kinds of the most amazing inner essence, were also the ways of using intent domains. In the Sky Realm, each time the warriors broke through a realm, it wasn’t only because of the Profound Qi they had accumulated. The recognition and good grasp of martial arts and intent domains were the keys to a successful breakthrough. Shi Yan had a bottleneck he couldn’t solve. But through the marvelous transmission of the Holy Spirit God’s refining process, he vaguely felt that perhaps through refining, he could breakthrough the realm and receive great benefits.

He gradually woke up after an unknown period of immersing in this state.

When he opened his eyes, he found that the five living beings were still floating in front of him, but the Holy Spirit God didn’t send him any thoughts. Seeing him wake up, the Earth Flame regarded him and then started to send him some refining methods that it knew.

Many blacksmiths would come to places which had the earth flame to refine their treasures. This could help shorten the refining time. The earth flame was fiercer than human flame. So, it was more suitable to forge secret treasures. Those blacksmiths had borrowed the scorching lava inside a ten-thousand-year volcano to smelt the materials. They had shown many details and refining methods there. The Earth Flame had its own life and consciousness, and thanks to its curiosity, it had memorized many methods from the blacksmiths. Although it didn’t know what those methods were used for, it knew they were extraordinarily precious experiences.

If a blacksmith dared to use the Earth Flame to refine secret treasures, his realm wouldn’t be low. The refining methods of those people were the essence. The Earth Flame had imparted these methods to Shi Yan, among which were the standard methods and formations that blacksmiths used regularly. Shi Yan knew that he couldn’t perceive those mystical formations at once. He just tried his best to remember and carve those memories deep in his soul. Long after that, Shi Yan woke up and looked at the Devouring Gold Silkworm.

The Devouring Gold Silkworm then started to send messages to him.

As it was a demonic beast, the refining methods it knew were related to demonic beasts.

Those were the secret methods to refine beasts that the Heavenly Palace’s warriors used. First, they would send their Soul Consciousness into the beast’s soul, using the beast’s favorite cultivating materials to earn its trust. Then, they would use their blood to feed the beast and gradually form a connection with it. When the beast used the warrior’s blood and Soul Consciousness, it would eventually become a part of that warrior.

The Heavenly Palace’s methods of training beasts were different from the typical methods other blacksmiths had been using. Shi Yan carefully considered each detail. He then found out that this refining method couldn’t help him much at this time. Through this beast training method, Shi Yan knew how to treat the Devouring Gold Silkworm and the King of Demonic Insects, as he knew how to connect with the beasts. Suddenly, the King of Demonic Insects sent its Soul Consciousness to him. As expected, the refining methods it knew were similar to what the Devouring Gold Silkworm had told him.

Being a demonic beast, it used to have a master. The refining method it knew was what its former master had used to connect with it, tame it, and turn it into a part of his, combining its demonic power with his power. This wasn’t what Shi Yan needed right now.

Eventually, he looked at the Ice Cold Flame.

"The memories I have are really complicated and huge in amount. If I use the Soul Consciousness to impart them, you can’t learn them clearly enough," The Ice Cold Flame sent him its thought. "I can compress those memories into a streak of thought and store it in your Sea of Consciousness. But, it takes time to perceive those memories for sure."

"How long it would take?"

"It depends on your host soul’s capacity. If your host soul can learn fast, your perceiving speed will be fast enough."

"Perhaps it would take half a year, I think. Yeah, it’s already fast. Anyway, those memories belong to a real blacksmith. And, that fellow was a Spirit level blacksmith! If you can be imparted with all those memories, I think you will be a real blacksmith too. It’s the hundred-year essence of a blacksmith."

Shi Yan’s eyes brightened. This was what he needed the most right now.

This full knowledge of refining methods was the best for a beginner like him.

"Let’s do it. I will open my mind to receive your memories."

"Excellent!"

The Ice Cold Flame didn’t linger, turning into a beam of light and directly sinking into his mind.

The icy cold spread out over Shi Yan’s body entirely in just a blink.

Although the Ice Cold Flame had suppressed its power, the cold air still chilled Shi Yan to the bone. It seemed like even his thoughts were frozen, and his consciousness was fuzzy. In his brain, the bizarre memories of the Ice Cold Flame were like diffusing silky fibers of memories. Those fibers intertwined then slowly condensed into memory. The thought inside that memory was really complicated and tangled. This thought then expanded to thousands of different scenes while the light in this thought changed unceasingly.

The Ice Cold Flame had released all the memories about the blacksmith, then turned back into a beam of light, leaving Shi Yan’s head.

Shi Yan’s complexion was stiff. He closed his eyes and then immersed himself into a marvelous intent domain, still maintaining his meditating position.
