Chapter 23 Encirclement
Once he leaves the stone workshop, no matter what treasures he obtains, no one will be able to investigate them or know their secrets.
However, there will still be a very few people who will not give up on this source stone.
After all, many people had already witnessed Lu Zhao's Origin Technique. He had made so many preparations beforehand, just to obtain an ordinary stone. Surely some people wouldn't believe it.
Therefore, there will still be a very few cultivators who will try every means to obtain that stone.
Not long after entering the Heavenly Palace, Lu Zhao took out the source stone, crushed it open, and a purple light shot out from it.
The purple light flashed by in an instant, and then everything returned to calm.
At this moment, Lu Zhao held a piece of purple immortal gold in his right hand. It was only half the size of his fist, but weighed more than 20,000 jin.
"Divine Mark Purple Gold?" Lu Zhao's eyes widened in disbelief.
The divine mark of purple gold was about half the size of a fist and had not been polished in any way.
The natural patterns on it are like a carrier of the Dao between heaven and earth, bearing a special Dao and nurturing a special power.
Even on the Divine Mark Purple Gold, Lu Zhao could sense the condensation of Dao principles.
After a brief period of reflection, Lu Zhao understood those principles.
Although there are Dao principles on the Immortal Gold, there are very few of them. After a little contemplation, one can fully comprehend them.
However, there were also many benefits, making Lu Zhao feel that his strength had improved.
It seems that if he absorbs a few more Dao principles, he will reach the perfection of the first level of the Four Extremes Heaven.
After all, it has been almost half a month since I went through the tribulation outside Yaochi and obtained this piece of immortal gold. That's quite a long time.
It normally takes several days to travel from the ancient site of Yaochi to this holy city by plane.
In addition, Lu Zhao spent a lot of time healing his injuries and comprehending the benefits of the lightning tribulation, which is why it has been delayed for so long.
The main issue is that under normal circumstances, the absorption rate of Dao principles is relatively slow.
When engaging in combat, one can rapidly absorb a large amount of Dao principles.
If he hadn't fought Li Yishui and Yang Kun, he would still be far from reaching the perfect first level of the Four Extremes and would need much more time, because he needed far too many Dao principles.
Lu Zhao then took out the Dao Diagram and held it in his left hand.
The half of the Dao diagram is woven from threads drawn from immortal gold. Judging from the color of the immortal gold, it should be the gold threads of Dao Tribulation Gold.
Judging from the weight of the Dao diagram alone, it has long exceeded 10,000 jin.
We now have enough materials to forge a weapon.
The next step is to combine these two items to form a complete artifact.
At this moment, subtle Dao principles surged forth from Lu Zhao's body.
These principles envelop the two objects, nourishing them little by little.
He was also somewhat worried that the immortal gold refined into weapons after the day after tomorrow would have a significantly higher resistance to flames. He feared that the eighth layer of flames would not be able to burn the Dao Diagram and thus make it impossible to refine the Chaos Banner.
So what Lu Zhao needs to do now is to nurture the Dao Diagram little by little.
Analyze its resistance, destroy the Dao traces in the Dao diagram, and turn the Dao diagram into ordinary divine material, making it convenient for him to use in subsequent weapon refining.
Time continued to flow around them, and the Dao Diagram was gradually nurtured by Lu Zhao.
He was gradually mastering the Dao traces on the surface of the Dao diagram.
Then, on the surface of this Dao diagram, he tried to imprint his own Dao mark, but it was impossible. The other party's Dao principles did not disappear, and his Dao principles could not be imprinted on it.
If one imprints their own Dao principles upon it, it will surely help them refine the Dao diagram.
Under normal circumstances, the flames deep within the Fire Domain can condense immortal gold and refine it into special artifacts.
Even the patterns on a Holy Spirit Companion Artifact are innate, and its resistance to fire is far inferior to that of Imperial Artifacts.
Even the immortal fire runes at the center of the fire domain cannot easily burn a complete imperial artifact.
As for those damaged artifacts, they couldn't withstand the tempering of the immortal fire runes.
Therefore, those fragmented pieces of imperial weapons can be reforged into immortal gold materials, and eventually refined into other imperial weapons.
The only thing Lu Zhao can do is try to refine this Dao diagram into immortal gold.
He's not quite sure yet what level of flame could refine it.
With his current abilities, he can only reach the eighth level of flame at most. This kind of flame is definitely not enough; it's difficult to even melt normal immortal metal.
Materials that have already been used to forge weapons must require even more terrifying flames, at least the flames of the ninth level or even celestial fire.
However, Lu Zhao's current cultivation level is far too low.
They are completely unable to enter the ninth level of the Fire Domain, and are now unable to refine this Dao diagram.
"Let's keep them for now. We can go into the Fire Domain later and use its power to imprint the Dao principles on them, and then refine the Dao diagram little by little." Lu Zhao put away the two treasures.
It might not even require the power of the fire domain; the power of the lightning tribulation might suffice.
However, for Lu Zhao, any principle of the universe will become a part of his nourishment and he will gradually master it.
Therefore, he had already thoroughly mastered those incomplete Daos on the Dao Diagram, making it relatively easier for him to refine the Dao Diagram.
At this moment, outside the Heavenly Palace, the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion and Xiang Yifei sat facing each other.
"Have you heard about that? I heard that the person who gambled on stones a few days ago was actually Ye Fan in disguise?" asked the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion.
"I've heard about this. I didn't expect Ye Fan to be so bold. It turns out he came to the stone market to gamble on stones in order to find a way to heal his injuries." Xiang Yifei frowned at this moment.
"We must not let him succeed easily, otherwise we will always be able to look up to him."
After several days, the two finally decided to split up and keep watch.
Sure enough, almost five days passed before a figure finally emerged from the Heavenly Palace. Upon seeing Lu Zhao appear, the Purple Mansion Saint Son instantly sprang to his feet.
He was even afraid that he had misread it, so he quickly scanned Lu Zhao with his divine sense.
Once he confirmed that it was indeed Lu Zhao, he immediately notified Xiang Yifei to come over.
"As expected, it appeared." Xiang Yifei also showed a slight smile.
"Go, he will die today." The Holy Son of the Purple Mansion changed into a tight black robe to cover his face, and there was a large gourd on his back.
In order to avoid being criticized by outsiders as being two-faced, claiming that they give someone a source stone on the surface but then ambush them from behind, they need to avoid being accused of being hypocritical.
He could only conceal his identity so that even if someone suspected him, they wouldn't say it out loud, and the reputation of the Purple Mansion Holy Land wouldn't be ruined.
Xiang Yifei also changed his appearance, covering his face.
After completing their disguises, the two immediately chased after Lu Zhao.
As soon as Lu Zhao left Tianque, he immediately sensed several auras. They were coming from different directions and were all secretly chasing after him.
"Quite a few people have come." A cold glint flashed in Lu Zhao's eyes.
The next moment, his figure flashed quickly, and he used a technique from the Palace of Illusion.
Under this method, some people with weaker cultivation were shaken off, but the holy sons still kept their aura locked on him.
He failed to shake off the men, so he sped off towards the city outskirts.
During this process, he used the methods of the Palace of Illusion on multiple occasions.
