Chapter 2778 The Next Arrangement for Weapon Forging
Jiulong Mountain's next development strategy is to prioritize stability, adopt a comprehensive defensive posture, and remain indifferent to the increasing pressure from various major forces.
The more Jiulong Mountain made these arrangements, the more unscrupulous the surrounding forces became.
In a short time, all the major forces accelerated their approach to Jiulong Mountain.
In the Central Yuan Continent, competition for resources is particularly fierce. Nine Dragon Mountain previously had a total of ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators, among whom the Great Mountain Lord was a late-stage Nascent Soul stage cultivator, making it one of the more powerful forces in the Central Yuan Continent.
However, even with such strength, they often clashed with surrounding forces over resources.
The forces that have managed to hold on until now are all fairly evenly matched in strength. With the news of the Great Mountain Lord's fall, Nine Dragon Mountain has become a piece of fat meat in the eyes of the surrounding forces, and everyone wants to pounce on it and take a bite.
The situation was very unfavorable for Jiulong Mountain. The cultivators who had been withdrawn back to Jiulong Mountain were all uneasy, but the Zhanzong cultivators did not care much and continued to cultivate talents in accordance with the talent training plan they had previously formulated.
After sending the new secret back to Jiulong Mountain, Sun Yi arranged for a fragment of his soul to stay and then returned to the weapon-refining ground.
Upon arriving at the weapon-forging site, Sun Yi immediately gathered everyone together and said in a solemn tone, "The major forces around Nine Dragons Mountain are now pressing us step by step. We must seize the time to forge top-tier spiritual weapons, especially eighth-tier battle armor. I hope that every cultivator in our sect at the Integration stage can be equipped with a set by then."
Zhang Ye, standing to the side, frowned slightly and said, "The eighth-tier battle armor mainly uses materials provided by the Great Luo Demon Saint. There is no problem with the main materials, but some auxiliary materials are too scarce."
"Given our current resource reserves, we can only forge a maximum of seven sets of Tier 8 battle armor."
"In addition, only about five sets of the eighth-order Five Elements Spirit Swords can be forged."
"If all the top-quality Five Elements materials in our reserves are used to forge the Five Elements Spirit Sword, then we will have no way to forge the Five Elements Ring."
"In addition, we can probably forge ten eighth-order Heaven-Opening Blades. That's our current resource situation."
Sun Yi frowned slightly: "The quantity is a bit too small."
Originally, we planned to equip every Nascent Soul cultivator with a set of eighth-tier spiritual artifacts, but now it seems that the idea was a bit too idealistic.
Ye Wuchen, standing beside him, said with a wry smile, "This is already a lot. These are eighth-grade spiritual artifacts. The fact that we were able to refine so many eighth-grade spiritual artifacts has completely exceeded our expectations."
"I believe that even the Nine Refinements Sect, which is famous for its weapon-refining skills, would be able to refine at most one eighth-grade spiritual weapon using the same materials and spending more time than us, which would be quite remarkable."
Although Ye Wuchen did not know how strong the Nine Refinements Sect's weapon-refining ability was, he was very clear about how terrifying the War Sect's weapon-refining ability was.
At this moment, Ye Luo stepped forward and said to Sun Yi, "Sect Leader, we do not currently need to equip all Nascent Soul cultivators with a full set of eighth-grade spiritual weapons."
"Even if Senior Ye and the others have opened up the Five Elements Dantian, refined the Spirit-filling Treasure, and strengthened their divine souls, it is not very realistic for them to control a large number of eighth-order spiritual artifacts at the same time."
"Why not separate the eighth-tier spiritual artifacts and let them control one or two of them individually? This way, the power of the eighth-tier spiritual artifacts can be brought into full play."
"Indeed, this eighth-tier spiritual weapon is completely different from the seventh-tier spiritual weapon. Its power has been greatly increased, but the consumption of mana has also increased accordingly."
"If I hadn't opened up the Five Elements Dantian and refined the Spirit Treasure, I wouldn't have been able to control the eighth-order spirit sword for a long time."
As Ye Wuchen spoke, he summoned a crimson spirit sword.
This crimson spirit sword is the eighth-order spirit sword that Sun Yi and the others forged before. It has been handed over to Ye Wuchen for refining and is now completely under Ye Wuchen's control.
Sun Yi looked at the spirit sword and felt the terrifying aura emanating from this eighth-order spirit sword. His eyes flickered slightly, as if he had overlooked the difficulty of controlling an eighth-order spirit weapon.
Eighth-order spiritual artifacts are, after all, spiritual artifacts belonging to the Mahayana stage, containing fourth-order laws, and are indeed very difficult for ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators to control.
"Senior Ye, how long can you sustain this eighth-order spirit sword at full power?" Sun Yi asked Ye Wuchen.
Ye Wuchen smiled wryly and said, "With my current strength, I can probably control this spirit sword for about half an incense stick's time."
"Only such a short time?" Sun Yi frowned slightly. If an eighth-order spiritual weapon could only last for half an incense stick's time, then it was impossible to control multiple eighth-order spiritual weapons at the same time.
"It seems I didn't consider the special characteristics of an eighth-order spiritual weapon," Sun Yi shook his head.
"Although I can only control this spirit sword for half an incense stick's time with all my might, the power it unleashes is strong enough to deal with an ordinary peak Integration stage cultivator." Ye Wuchen changed the subject.
Sun Yi's eyes lit up: "Can he really unleash such power?"
Ye Wuchen nodded affirmatively: "Yes, Sect Leader, eighth-order spiritual weapons are completely different from seventh-order spiritual weapons, and they greatly enhance one's strength."
"If we can equip every cultivator in the Integration Stage of our sect with an eighth-tier spiritual weapon, along with the sect leader and Xiao Qi, I believe that such strength would be enough to sweep across the Central Yuan Continent."
"Alright, in that case, let's first consider equipping each Nascent Soul stage senior with a set of eighth-tier spiritual weapons. We need to refine the eighth-tier spiritual weapons as soon as possible."
Sun Yi decided to first equip each Nascent Soul cultivator with a fifth-tier spiritual weapon, and then consider subsequent matters after resolving the troubles in the Central Plains.
At this moment, Zhang Ye spoke up, "Sect Leader, since this decision has been made, I suggest that we directly forge the Five Elements Spirit Sword, which is less difficult, takes less time, and consumes fewer materials."
"Once the Five Elements Spirit Sword is forged, it can be taken back to Nine Dragons Mountain immediately for Shan Yu and the others to refine, so that their strength can be improved as soon as possible."
Sun Yi nodded: "Okay, let's do it this way and start refining immediately!"
Sun Yi decided to adopt Zhang Ye's suggestion, since he didn't know when the enemy would directly attack Jiulong Mountain, and strengthening Jiulong Mountain's strength was the top priority.
Next, Sun Yi led this group of elite warriors to begin the refining process.
The crafting difficulty of the Five Elements Spirit Sword is far lower than that of the battle armor. With the joint efforts of Sun Yi and his team, the second eighth-order spirit sword was crafted in just two months.
This golden spirit sword, tempered by golden lightning, has undergone a complete transformation. Its crimson-gold blade gleams with dazzling golden light, and a strong aura of metallic law emanates from it.
At the same time, there are two extremely complex golden runes on the blade of the golden spirit sword.
The spirit sword hovered in the air, and all the warriors who emerged from the innate formation focused their attention on it, their faces filled with excitement.
In just two months, an eighth-grade, second-rank spiritual weapon was forged, and the weapon refiners who forged this spiritual sword were not of high cultivation level. This is absolutely a miracle that has never appeared in the history of the spiritual realm and the cultivation world.
