Chapter 599: The Success in Refining the Twin Hammers

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Now, in front of Zhou Bao were the two sections of the broken peak, a sight not very pleasant to the eye. The Immortal Character on them had been destroyed by Zhou Bao, but he could never underestimate them. It was because that even if the Immortal Character was destroyed, these two sections of the peak were still similar to Upper-grade Pure Yang Celestial Devices. Suddenly, an idea occurred to him. His eyes gleamed and his breathing became even heavier.

“I get it. The Immortal Character “heavy” has been carved in the mountain peak by its refiner and it is also the key for the peak to become a fairy weapon. However, the magic formation of the word “hard” is natural. It is owned by the original material of this peak, which means, the original material of this peak is a spiritual object at the level of an Upper-grade Pure Yang Celestial Device. Only such a spiritual object can easily be refined into a fairy weapon, just like my Furnace of Immortality. Although the Immortal Character of the peak is broken now, its magic formation of the talisman is still strong. All I need to do is refine it, and in this way, I will be able to get two handy weapons!”

A really handy weapon!

That was what Zhou Bao had always wanted. But as his strength increased day by day, it became much more difficult for him to obtain one. He had used the Golden-Scaled Cudgel and had also learned the 72 Style Earthly Fiends Cudgel Techniques, but there was always a lack of flexibility as he used it and those moves were too stiff. As for the sword, he had already refined the Natal Sword of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. Thus, even the sword of the Pure Yang Celestial Device Level would not increase his fighting capacity. As for the fairy weapon, whether it was the Furnace of Immortality or his Green Bamboo Stick, neither were used as weapons nor could they be taken out to show off at any time. They were fairy weapons and were used only when he ought to make the most lethal moves, especially the Furnace of Immortality. When he was not sure enough to uproot the entire Divine Wind Palace, he’d better use it less frequently. As for the Green Bamboo Stick, its power was indeed extraordinary and it had also moved up a grade. However, its biggest disadvantage was that a load of nonsense was required to be talked, which did not completely conform to Zhou Bao’s style. Most important of all, Zhou Bao had now refined and merged Zhuyan’s bloodline with his. All the Golden Dharma Power in his body had been injected into the Green Bamboo Stick. In a sense, his future way had been clear, that was, the way of pure strength. He would pursue the Extreme Realm of Force and crush the vacuum.

This was the most favorable future way and also the most suitable for him. Therefore, the Green Bamboo Stick was destined to be only a means for him to attack the enemy rather than an object that he could rely entirely upon. In a certain sense, when his cultivation reached a certain phase and his strength was further enhanced, be it the Furnace of Immortality, the Green Bamboo Stick, the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword or even the Heavenly Fairy Weapon—red gourd, could not increase his fighting capacity. When he fully practiced Zhu’s Real Body and evolved the real Dharma Laksana of Zhuyan, he would be able to fight the Heavenly Fairy Weapon. It was precisely for this reason that it was even more difficult for him to find a quite handy weapon that was able to improve his combat effectiveness. It could be said that such an opportunity may come by with some luck, but not by searching for it.

Now he could find such a weapon!

These two sections of the mountain peak were the best choice. Of course, to be precise, they were merely the best materials.

They possessed two kinds of the most basic Principles of Great Ways. They did not have any attack force in the hands of others, but as long as they were used appropriately, for example, in Zhou Bao’s hands, they were two lethal weapons. Of course, if he wanted to use them, he must first refine them into real handy weapons.

With this in mind, Zhou Bao no longer wasted his time. He summoned his Second Primordial Spirit directly and took out the Furnace of Immortality as well.

His Second Primordial Spirit was the Primitive Dragon Chimera, which was a good match for the Furnace of Immortality. Therefore, Zhou Bao had always let it refine the Furnace of Immortality in order to make it understand the Dharma of “refine” in the furnace and the extreme fire. When the right time came, he would let it undergo the Thunder Tribulation and achieve the Genuine Immortal Karma Rank. Although he was not sure whether it could go through six or seven Thunder Tribulations and become a Lord of Heaven or not at one go, he was confident that it would become at least a Venerable easily.

At this moment, it was sitting upright on the Furnace of Immortality. Several black Fire Dragons swarmed out of Zhou Bao’s body to lift the two sections of the peak and throw them into the furnace. After that, it closed its eyes and started the refining process.

It was Zhou Bao’s Second Primordial Spirit who was refining the mountain peaks. Although it was independent, it had evolved from his spirit after all. Therefore, it had a special connection with Zhou Bao. As a result, it knew Zhou Bao’s thoughts very well. Thus, when it refined the mountain peaks, it was able to obtain double the result with half the effort. Under the rotation of the Wheel of Time, time passed like flowing water. In the outside world, only one or two days had passed, but in the Sea of Divine Power, it had been exactly 81 years.

In those 81 years, the incarnation of the Dragon Chimera had not moved an inch. He had been sitting atop the Furnace of Immortality to control the entire refining process.

Did he succeed?

Zhou Bao also came to himself from the meditation. During the 81 years, he had been meditating on the evolution of his own fist intent and digesting the fist intent inspired by the mountain peak. Meanwhile, he had been understanding and perfecting that technique that imitated the universe. When he opened his eyes, endless changes of the void were flashing in the depths of his eyes. In a very short moment, it seemed as if he had gone through the process that the whole universe had experienced from the Big Bang to the evolution of all things and the moment when everything turned into chaos at last. By then, in his eyes, the universe showed what it really looked like.

“It will be wonderful to succeed!” He stood up, only to see that the Second Primordial Spirit of the Dragon Chimera suddenly came to a standstill. Together with the Furnace of Immortality, it turned into a stream of black light and hid in the place between his eyebrows. Where the Furnace of Immortality dwelt before, two clouds of green light were emanating a spirit that would overwhelm everyone.

What surprised Zhou Bao the most was that he found that a shadow of an Immortal Character was looming above the two clouds of green light. Although it was illusory, it revealed a complete Principle of the Great Ways.

“It seems that the level of these two weapons is still above that of the Upper-grade Pure Yang Celestial Device. After all, these two weapons used to have complete Immortal Characters and a Principle of Great Ways. Even if they were broken, they would be complete if they were put together!” Zhou Bao was very satisfied with this phenomenon. He lifted his hands and then two clouds of green light flew into each of them respectively. They revealed their true appearances, and it turned out to be two green hammers.

“How heavy!”

As soon as the hammers reached him, Zhou Bao felt that his hands sank a little bit. The two hammers looked small, merely the size of ordinary watermelons. In fact, they looked exactly like two newly ripe watermelons. The reason why they emitted such a green color was that they had absorbed too much pure pneuma during the refining process in Azure Heaven.

Whoosh!

A wave of Zhou Bao’s hand stirred up a gust of wind. Then, a strong suction appeared along with the flying trajectory of the hammers. With a gentle wave of these hammers, Zhou Bao smashed the Space Rampart.

“Good, very good. With such a weight and power, I can also smash a Lord of Heaven to death with a hammer move!” As he felt the various messages conveyed by these hammers, a strong self-confidence arose from his heart. He could, indeed, kill a Lord of Heaven with just one hammer move. With the power of these hammers and his own hammering skills, coupled with the power of the Heavenly Jade Technique, even a Lord of Heaven who had solidified his Self-world would not be able to bear such a force if a few more Critical Hits were added.

“Power, sheer power. Under sheer power, all cultivation methods and skills are merely nothing!”

Zhou Bao’s eyes were flickering. The corners of his mouth moved and his face revealed a murderous smile.

…

The Infinite Star Sea would no longer be calm.

The Heavenly Falling Star was suddenly destroyed by powerful forces and the deputy leader of the Alliance of 13 Realms, Taiyuan Sage, disappeared, making the situation that had already become a foregone conclusion get extremely weird all of a sudden. Of course, at this moment, the news that Taiyuan Sage had returned to the Alliance of 13 Realms together with his declaration of a closed-door training had not yet spread. Everyone knew that Taiyuan Sage had fought another Lord of Heaven in the Heavenly Falling Star. Finally, he pierced the Heavenly Falling Star and disappeared with that mysterious Lord of Heaven. He had never shown up since then. All this was enough to attract people’s attention.

All that people also focused their attention on the Pond of Illusive Ripples, where there were originally two Lords of Heaven sitting to suppress a Lord of Heaven from the Heaven Realm and take him as a bait to attract other Lords of Heaven from the Heaven Realm to court death. However, Taiyuan Sage had disappeared, leaving only Divine Lord of Red Sun alone, and thus, whether he could suppress him or not was still a question. If other Lords of Heaven from the Heaven Realm came to aid that one, how could Divine Lord of Red Sun deal with this matter? It was another great question.

“The Infinite Star Sea is gradually being plunged into chaos, but I don’t believe there is no other arrangement in the Pond of Illusive Ripples!” Zhou Bao, at this moment, had returned to the Infinite Star Sea. Unlike what he was before, there were some changes in his dress now. Although he still looked like a weak scholar, there were two green hammers hanging behind his butt. While he was walking, the two weapons hit each other and made a series of cling-clang sound, clear and pleasing to the ear.

“That little bastard, stop now!”

With two small hammers hanging behind his butt and a Green Bamboo Stick in his hand, Zhou Bao looked extremely weird. He was walking along an official road of the Thunder Crab Star.

It was one of the several planets that possessed a Transmitting Formation leading to the Pond of Illusive Ripples. It was named like that because it was rich in an exotic animal called Thunder Crab.

This planet was under the jurisdiction of the Alliance of 13 Realms. Compared with the Heavenly Falling Star, this planet had more pneuma and was more suitable for practice. Therefore, the number of the practitioners here was not small. There were dozens of big cities, all of which were guarded by practitioners, among which there was no lack of great practitioners at the Venerable Realm.

Since the accident happened in the Heavenly Falling Star, the whole Thunder Crab Star had strengthened its defenses. More than a dozen Venerables showed up overnight, and the scrutiny of major cities had become extremely strict, the big city with the Transmitting Hall in particular. It was heavily guarded and all kinds of protection measures were taken.

Zhou Bao, however, was stopped before he even entered the city when he was heading toward the Transmitting Hall.
