It is not easy for Xuan Chen to judge whether the way of the king of men or the way of the emperor is better or worse.
A man who allowed the human race to rise from poverty, from having no clothes on their bodies and not having enough to eat to having no worries about food and clothing, from eating raw hair and drinking blood to cultivating slash-and-burn farming, and leading the weak human race to walk alone to this day.
The forerunners overcame thorns and thorns, and the successors passed on the fire from generation to generation, and the road is still bright. With the birth of the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors one after another, Shen Nong became a humane saint, and a single spark was about to start a prairie fire.
If the emperor's way is successful, he will replace the heart of heaven with the human heart, and he will become the protagonist of the eternal world from then on.
But without external troubles, we will fall into internal troubles.
As an elder, who doesn't want the younger generations to suffer less? Why would they think that the younger generations of the human race are constantly fighting against death and hunger like them? Stability is what they want to see.
It is no wonder that among the gods, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors chose to sit idly by and ignore the conflict between Shang and Zhou and the emergence of the Way of the Emperor.
This is the love shown by the elders to the younger ones.
But the absence of foreign aggression may not necessarily be a good thing for the human race.
Xuan Chen thought for a while, this was not a choice he could make. Shennong appeared in Yuxu Palace. I am afraid he already has the answer, so he should let history make the right choice!
Anyway, with the presence of Shen Nong, a saint of humanity, even if the human race is not suitable for the emperor's way, he can always bring order to things.
"Disciple has no objection. Whatever the two saints decide is fine. As long as it is conducive to the development of the human race, disciples will strongly support it. However, after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, they changed the human king to the emperor. Isn't it too impatient?"
“Be aware that haste makes waste, and rushing for quick success is not a good thing.”
Xuanchen shook his head and explained his point of view to the two saints.
Neither support nor oppose.
Shennong nodded and said: "I also hold the same view. Reform is not a trivial matter, so I would like to advise Brother Yuanshi Dao to put it aside after the time is over."
The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.
If the steps are too big, the eggs may be easily pulled.
Yuanshi Tianzun had no emotion on his face and said: "In that case, let's wait until the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors return to the throne before discussing this matter! This matter is of great importance, and we need to consult the opinions of eldest brother and Junior Sister Nuwa."
Saint Taiqing is the leader of the Human Religion.
Saint Nuwa is the creator of the human race.
If you want to verify your path in the human race, you must obtain the consent of two people.
Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun is not in a hurry.
Then the conversation changed and he looked at Xuan Chen and asked, "By the way, why did you come to Kunlun Mountain?"
Obviously, he is very aware of his character of not going to the Three Treasures Palace no matter what.
Xuan Chen smiled slightly and said: "Recently, I plan to refine a spiritual treasure to protect my disciple, so I plan to ask my second uncle for a branch of Huang Zhongli, the best innate spiritual root, and hope that my uncle will fulfill my wish. "
"Also, the willow branch in the pure glass vase of Junior Sister Cihang is also of great use to me. I can exchange it for branches of the hibiscus tree or laurel tree, so that Junior Sister Cihang will not suffer any loss."
If you show off your thoughts in front of a saint, it will only be counterproductive.
Therefore, whether he was facing Jieyin Zhunti or Yuanshi Tianzun, Xuanchen would go straight to the point and explain his purpose.
Yuanshi Tianzun was a little curious and asked: "I don't know what kind of spiritual treasure I plan to refine. It actually needs branches of yellow plum and green willow. Do you need my help?"
As the most adept at refining weapons among all the saints, he knew that this treasure was extraordinary just by hearing the materials.
Generally, the refining of ancient magic weapons uses one kind of material as the main material, and the others are supplementary. There will never be two top-grade materials of the same grade, unless the main material is much higher than the two top-grade materials.
The branches of yellow plum and green willow are the best materials.
What's more, according to what the other party said, there are branches of the hibiscus tree and laurel tree in his hand.
Obviously, the ambition is not small.
The spirit treasure to be refined is absolutely extraordinary.
Xuan Chen did not hide anything, and immediately took out the branches of the hibiscus tree, laurel tree, bodhi tree, and flat peach tree in his hand, and said: "The disciple later realized a magical power called the Seven Treasures Magic, which uses the origin of yin and yang and the origin of the five elements. As a base, we are planning to refine a magic weapon using the branches of the seven best innate spiritual roots of Yin, Yang and Five Elements, supplemented by the principles of the Seven Treasures."
Looking at the branches of the four top-grade innate spiritual roots floating in front of him, Yuan Shi couldn't help but admire Xuan Chen's ambition, and he actually wanted to refine a magic weapon with the branches of seven top-grade innate spiritual roots.
Fusang, laurel, and flat peach are okay, they are in heaven.
But this Bodhi tree, that guy from Zhunti was willing to give it away, must have paid a lot of price.
Huang Zhongli was given the luck of Taiyi to suppress the Immortal Sect by himself.
As for the piece of green willow in Cihang's hand, he picked it up from the battlefield of the Dao Demon War. It is said that when Immortal Yang Mei helped Dao Ancestor break through the Zhuxian Sword Formation, a few strands of his hair were cut off by the sword energy.
The mystery is not small.
No wonder this kid came to Yuxu Palace. It turned out that he wanted something from himself.
However, his skill in refining weapons is still a bit lacking. He only uses the branches of the best innate spiritual roots to refine weapons, which inevitably wastes materials.
Immediately, Yuanshi Tianzun pointed out the problem with Xuanchen's idea and said: "Your idea is good, but there is a problem. The seven treasures of magic allow you to reconcile yin and yang and the five elements, but the magic weapon cannot do it. Even if you gather the seven best innate spirits The branches of the root can at most refine a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, but if you want to refine the acquired treasure, it is a step ahead."
A treasure the day after tomorrow?
From the beginning, I planned to refine a top-quality acquired spiritual treasure!
The second uncle's vision was still too high. After refining the twenty-fourth grade Good Fortune Qinglian and Makuten Takumi one after another, he didn't even pay attention to the top-grade acquired spiritual treasures, and always used them as acquired treasures.
Xuan Chen secretly said.
But he still said honestly: "Please give me some advice from my second uncle!"
This is the advantage of having an uncle who is good at refining weapons. He can easily see his own shortcomings.
Yuanshi Tianzun smiled and said: "Look towards the center of the world!"
The center of heaven and earth?
Nothing?
No, there is a chaotic spiritual root there, which is exactly the sky-reaching tree that replaces Buzhou Mountain and supports the ancient world. It is just hidden in the void and not visible to the world.
Unexpectedly, he was just thinking about a few top-quality innate spiritual roots, but the second uncle actually started thinking about chaotic spiritual roots.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy!
Jumang had previously integrated the law of his own wood into Jianmu, turning it into a chaotic spiritual root. He also used this to become an authentic saint. In terms of spiritual roots, there really was no tree in the entire prehistoric world that could compare to Jianmu.
The corners of Xuanchen's mouth twitched slightly and he said: "Second Senior Uncle, I am not able to refine the acquired treasure with my disciple's skill in refining weapons, so I might as well forget it!"
He still knows how big he is.
The half of Buzhou Mountain is easy to deal with. Its main purpose is to defeat all kinds of magic with one force. With the help of the large formation arranged in the immortal volcano, it is still possible to successfully refine it.
But using several innate spiritual roots as materials to refine such a complicated spiritual treasure is not possible.
Yuanshi Tianzun said in a deep voice: "What are you afraid of? Don't you still have me?"
The main task of refining such a magic weapon is a good challenge for him, and it will also be of great help to improve his weapon refining skills, so he took the initiative to propose it.
Xuan Chen was very excited and bowed his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Second Senior Uncle."
Yuanshi Tianzun immediately waved his hand, and across the void, he summoned a branch of a yellow plum and floated in front of Xuan Chen.
Then he sent the White Crane Boy to call Cihang, and Xuanchen exchanged a branch of the laurel tree and a branch of the peach tree for the green willow tree.
After all, the spells practiced by the opponent tend to be yin and water-based.
The branches of the laurel and peach trees are more suitable for Cihang than the branch of green willow.
Originally, a branch of the laurel tree was enough, but Xuanchen still took the initiative to give him a branch of the peach tree. After all, he and Zhun Tie used branches of two spiritual roots in exchange for the branches of the bodhi tree.
You can't favor one over the other!
It can also be regarded as a closer look at the relationship between the two religions.
Yuanshi Tianzun showed a satisfied smile, and then cut off a branch of the sky-reaching tree from the void. Anyway, a branch would not affect anything.
Ju Mang felt something, but when Yuanshi Tianzun sent the idea, the other party agreed.
"Everything is ready now. All we need is a branch from the sycamore tree. Your kid has a good relationship with the Phoenix Clan. There should be no problem in asking for a branch!"
Looking at the pile of materials in front of him, Yuanshi Tianzun asked.
Xuan Chen muttered: "No problem. The disciple once set up the Innate Bagua Array in the Immortal Volcano to help the Phoenix Clan suppress the Immortal Volcano. It's not a problem to ask for a branch. In fact, the disciple actually plans to use the fire veins and formation of the Immortal Volcano. , to refine this magic weapon."
Yuanshi Tianzun grabbed Xuanchen and stepped out, arriving at the Immortal Volcano.
Shen Nong followed closely behind, obviously very curious about weapon refining, and since the Phoenix clan was now the totem of the human race, it made sense for them to pay a visit.
But Jin Feng was not here at the moment, but went to teach Zhuan Xu.
Only the quasi-sage Xuanniao is here.
Feeling the saint's aura, Xuanniao hurriedly came to greet him. As Kong Xuan's aunt, Xuanchen was no stranger to him.
Xuan Chen smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Xuanniao, long time no see. The second uncle and I want to ask for a sycamore branch this time, and we also want to use the undying volcano to refine a spiritual treasure. We took the liberty to come to visit and thank Haihan. "
"As for Saint Shennong, now that the human and Phoenix tribes are allies, he just wants to pay a visit."
The identity of a saint is there, and if there is anything he can only say for himself, he still knows it well.
Xuanniao immediately welcomed the three of them in.
Not to mention the two saints' face to face, even the relationship between the Phoenix clan and Xuan Chen, she would not refuse, and immediately asked someone to fetch a branch of the sycamore tree.
Shennong and Xuanniao talked about the future of the human race and the Phoenix lineage. After all, the Phoenix clan is now the totem of the human race, the symbol of the emperor and empress, and Jinfeng is now the teacher of the Five Emperors.
The relationship between the two ethnic groups can be said to be closely related, sharing weal and woe, so naturally there are many topics.
As for Yuanshi Tianzun and Xuan Chen, they came to the center of the Immortal Volcano and prepared to start refining weapons. The power of the fire veins here was the strongest in the world and could be said to be unique.
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the great formation arranged by the incarnation of Xuan Chen, and praised: "Yes, this great formation is wonderful. It transforms the evil energy of the fire veins into spiritual energy, making this place an excellent treasure place for refining weapons. You... In terms of formation, I have obtained many true teachings from Tongtian, but I don’t know what your level of weapon refining is now.”
Weapon refining and formation are actually inseparable.
After all, the more the array flags and array plates match those who set up the array, the more powerful the array will be.
Therefore, although the Jie Jiao disciples are good at formations, many of them actually have some attainments in weapon refining, such as Xuan Chen, Duobao, Chi You, Shi Tianjun and others.
"Second Master, you are so complimentary." Xuan Chen said modestly.
Yuanshi Tianzun looked indifferent and said: "You refine it first and refine the embryo of the Lingbao according to your ideas. When you are unable to do anything, I will take action."
Xuan Chen nodded, knowing that the second uncle wanted to consider himself.
The Divine Fire of Ten Thousand Tribulations emerged and began to mobilize the energy of the fire veins. With the help of the large formation, it was continuously transformed into innate spiritual energy. The endless innate spiritual energy gathered together and never dispersed.
Driven by the power of space, seven holes were cut out on the branches of the tall tree, and then hibiscus, laurel, bodhi, green willow, flat peach, sycamore, and yellow plum were inlaid in sequence like grafting.
Afterwards, a series of magic formulas were played, and several channels of creation energy were derived, making them closely connected to form an endless trend.
Unfortunately, Xuan Chen was not good at the art of creation, so it took him several years.
Finally, a fan-like rough embryo is formed.
Then he activated the laws of yin and yang and the laws of the five elements to evolve the magical skills of the Seven Treasures. He engraved this magical power into the magic weapon and continuously activated the magic power to cultivate it.
The magic power of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal in the middle stage pours out, mobilizing the power of Yin Yang and the Five Elements, turning it into runes one by one, and evolving restrictions on the magic weapon, all-encompassing.
Twelve prohibitions and below can only be regarded as inferior.
Thirteen to twenty-four prohibitions are middle-grade spiritual treasures.
Twenty-five to thirty-six prohibitions are top-grade spiritual treasures.
Thirty-seven prohibitions and above are the best spiritual treasures.
As for the forty-nine prohibitions, whether innate or acquired, they are exclusive to the treasure.
Xuan Chen did not dare to be careless and concentrated on his work. The powerful mana gushes out like a tide, but it is as detailed as carving, and the power of law is the tool for carving.
The previous forty restrictions put no pressure on him at all.
At the 41st level, even at the middle stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of difficulty, and immediately mobilized the power of the formation to assist.
This formation was originally set up by him, so it was as natural as his arms and fingers.
Even so, the forty-seventh prohibition was unsustainable after it was formed. During this process, Yuanshi Tianzun also constantly pointed out the flaws in Xuanchen's weapon refining techniques, which benefited him a lot.
Seeing that Xuan Chen could not continue, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately took over the leadership of the weapon refining. He was as skillful as running water and completed the forty-eighth prohibition with ease.
Xuan Chen, on the other hand, activated the laws of yin and yang and the laws of the five elements to take action from the sidelines.
The last restriction is the gap between the best acquired spiritual treasure and the acquired treasure. It can be said that there is a world of difference. Even Yuanshi Tianzun, who is a saint of heaven, does not dare to be careless.
Put your heart and soul into it.
Countless Tao Yun appear in the void. At this moment, the Lingbao is constantly absorbing the innate spiritual energy around it, just like a newly born baby, constantly absorbing the power of the rules of heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth are the furnace, creation is the work, yin and yang and the five elements complement each other, and the power of countless laws lingers.
Yuanshi Tianzun went all out, Xuanchen looked forward to it.
Finally, thanks to the saint's skillful craftsmanship, a fan-shaped spiritual treasure was about to take shape.
Using the Tongtian Jianmu as the fan handle and the branches of the seven top-grade innate spiritual roots as the fan bones, Xuan Chen took out countless collected star essences and put them into it to serve as the fan surface.
These are all drawn from the stars in the sky, and are considered extremely cherished things.
As a thunderbolt exploded, the forty-ninth prohibition appeared. This acquired treasure was completely formed. It only needed to face the final test from the thunder of heaven before it could be born.
Yuanshi Tianzun asked: "Do you want to refine it into a treasure of acquired merit?"
Xuan Chen's body still has a lot of merits, which were accumulated in the past. The incarnation of Xuantian, who was cut with the twelfth-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, did not use the merits to improve his cultivation because he was going to the demon world.
All, there's still a lot left.
Immediately, Xuan Chen poured his own merit into it. In an instant, this acquired treasure was like a shark smelling blood, madly devouring Xuan Chen's heavenly merit.
In the blink of an eye, three-fifths of the merit was swallowed up.
The treasure of acquired merit and virtue was completely formed, and Heaven also sent down seven or forty-nine purple sky thunders as a test for the birth of this treasure.
With Xuan Chen and Yuanshi Tianzun's refining attainments, there is no chance that they will not be able to overcome it.
Looking at the treasure of acquired merits and virtues shining with golden light in front of him, Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Give it a name. After all, you worked hard to refine it."
This means that the naming rights are handed over to Xuan Chen.
Xuan Chen pondered for a moment and said: "This treasure has seven attributes: yin, yang, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. It also uses the essence of stars as the fan surface, so let's call it the Seven Treasures Star Fan!"
"good!"
"Now that the magic weapon is ready, we won't bother you anymore."
Yuanshi Tianzun said concisely and concisely that he would naturally not fail to discover the Nirvana egg of Yuanfeng sleeping under the sycamore tree, but he did not intend to interfere. This was a private matter of the Phoenix clan.
Shennong and Xuannio, who were watching the refining, also nodded and thought this name was good.
"Wait a minute, Second Senior Uncle, I actually recently accepted another apprentice!"
"so what?"
"I plan to refine another spiritual treasure."
As he said this, Xuan Chen took out the half of Buzhou Mountain. Since he was already here, he might as well refine another one, especially since Yuanshi Tianzun, a saint who is good at refining weapons, is beside him.
