Chapter 592: Eighth-Grade Dharmic Armament Cultivator!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Previously, Wang Baole could already refine a one-use eighth-grade Dharmic Armament, and he had also occasionally succeeded in refining eighth-grade Dharmic Armaments that could be used several times.
The greatest obstacle preventing Wang Baole from refining a true eight-grade Dharmic Armament was his lack of Spiritual Sense. Even though it was boosted slightly by the shriveled fruit that he possessed, the growth of his Spiritual Sense was still slow and was only a little better than no growth. However, it was different now. Having achieved a breakthrough at the trial grounds, which allowed him to advance from mid- to late-stage Core Formation realm, and even approach the peak, he was now just a step away from perfection!
Because of the increase in his cultivation, Wang Baole’s Spiritual Sense was significantly advanced. That made it easier for him to refine the artifacts compared to the past.
Right now, equipped with sufficient materials, Wang Baole tested it out briefly and could already feel that it was different from previously. He then decided to focus on refining the artifacts after stabilizing his cultivation and after successfully mastering the cultivation technique.
Seven days passed. In those seven days, Wang Baole tried to refine eighth-grade Dharmic Armaments many times, ranging from those that were one-use to those that could be used multiple times. When he finally managed to refine a true eighth-grade Dharmic Armament, Wang Baole was extremely excited and exhilarated.
Finally… I can refine an eighth-grade Dharmic Armament! Wang Baole felt a torrent of emotions in his heart. Looking at the bell that he had refined in front of him, he couldn’t help but sound it a few times. Listening to the reverberating and loud ring, and imagining the scenario when someone was trapped within it, Wang Baole was delighted.
I still have many fake eighth-grade Dharmic Armaments. When the time comes, I will first toss out a fake one, have them break it, then toss the real one out! With that thought, Wang Baole was filled with glee. He wanted to celebrate and patted his tummy, which now already had a little bit of spirit fat on it. When he thought about how slim he was now, he immediately took out several bags of snacks and began munching on them delightfully.
He also took out five bottles of Ice Spirit Water and chugged them down. With that, he finally felt satiated, and he began the process of refining artifacts again. The next item he refined was the seventh-grade Dharmic Armament megaphone.
As the grade of the megaphone was too low, it hadn’t been used by Wang Baole for a long time. However, he still liked it very much. Now that his knowledge of refining artifacts had risen, he immediately made plans to advance its grade.
Other than the megaphone, there was also the scandalous rope and the large seal. Those two Dharmic Armaments had personalities of their own, which made them different from the rest. They were also two of the few Dharmic Armaments that Wang Baole could continually upgrade until now.
After spending four days and successfully upgrading the three Dharmic Armaments to the eighth grade, Wang Baole took a look at his storage bag and thought of the self-exploding ribbon that he had used in the battle against Dugu Lin. His heart ached.
What a pity… Wang Baole sighed. He thought about his arsenal of weapons, which included the tri-colored flying sword and a few eighth-grade Dharmic Armaments. While it seemed a little inadequate, he had a plan. However, in terms of protection, he felt that he still faced a significant deficit. Even though the bell could be considered a protective item, Wang Baole felt that it was more suitable to trap his enemies.
Therefore, after thinking about it, a look of determination appeared in Wang Baole’s eyes. He felt that there was a great need for him to refine an eighth-grade Dharmic Armament for the sole purpose of protection. As for its appearance, after thinking about it, Wang Baole decided that if it were to be used to protect his life, it was best that it was armor!
Furthermore, it couldn’t be too thick and should be fitting. At the same time, it shouldn’t restrict him from unleashing Thearch Armor. That way, even if he were to be in a similar battle like the one against Dugu Lin, he would still have protection from the armor even if Thearch Armor breaks apart. That, coupled with his physical body, could make him more resistant to attacks than he was previously.
If Wang Baole were now in the Federation, he wouldn’t have suitable materials even if he had the idea. However, that wasn’t an issue in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. After all, there was an abundance of materials there. After browsing through the items on the Spirit Internet, he immediately noticed a refinement material known as Dark Scarcity.
Other than a memory storage function, its protective qualities also satisfied Wang Baole. It also had an antishock quality. After Wang Baole had chosen it, another round of artifact refinement began.
This time, Wang Baole put in a lot of effort and used half a month before successfully refining the Dark Scarcity Armor. When he realized that he still had a substantial amount of refinement materials left, the idea of repairing the ninth-grade black pike surfaced in his mind.
That was especially so as Wang Baole had already thought in detail about how to repair it. After he considered it for a moment, he immediately got to work, putting in his best effort to repair the pike that he had found in the body of the sword.
However, as Wang Baole was unable to refine a ninth-grade Dharmic Armament, the repair process was imperfect as well. However, since he had enough materials and was willing to invest the materials in the repair process, he had managed to repair most of it, even if it was incomplete. Right now, as he waved his hand, the pike floated in the air in front of him loudly, releasing a ferocious aura.
The aura was surrounded by black smoke. A black snake with fleshy wings could vaguely be seen within the smoke, and it was staring coldly at Wang Baole.
When they locked eyes, a chill was immediately felt in Wang Baole’s heart. That made Wang Baole shudder, and he realized that the pike was perhaps no different from the tri-colored flying sword.
It may not be a strong ninth-grade Dharmic Armament, it can still be considered a weak one. Wang Baole was satisfied. He was about to raise his hand and put away the pike, but the moment his hand neared the pike, the black snake emerged out of it. It charged towards Wang Baole’s hand and bit onto it.
Wang Baole was unaffected. He didn’t stop moving his right hand, and the instant the black snake neared, he snapped his fingers. Immediately, a ball of Dark Fire began burning. Amidst the crackling, the black snake trembled vigorously, screaming shrilly as it retreated quickly. Its body was also surrounded by Dark Fire, and it was only when it had retreated completely into the black smoke that the Dark Fire let go of it and returned to Wang Baole’s palm.
“You’re not to do it again!” Wang Baole spoke calmly without even looking at the black snake. He then placed the pike into his storage bracelet, and his gaze fell on the small mountain of refinement materials in his storage bracelet.
I have bought too much… Looking at those materials, Wang Baole felt that it would be a waste if he didn’t use them. That was especially so because, while over half of it was prepared for his intrinsic scabbard, the other half was of lower quality. Even though the materials could be used to refine an eighth-grade Dharmic Armament, they didn’t fulfill the high requirements that Wang Baole had set for refining the scabbard.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Wang Baole went into action immediately and began refining puppets. He began to try out the idea of refining Dharmic Armament puppets.
At the same time, since it was rare that he had so many materials, Wang Baole also made plans to make some miniature armor for his mosquitos. It was challenging, but with Wang Baole’s current level of refinement knowledge, he would still be able to refine sixth-grade Numinous Treasures if he put in the effort, even if he wasn’t able to refine Dharmic Armaments.
Eventually, when Wang Baole emerged out of seclusion after refining the items, seven of the eight puppets that followed after him as he stepped out of the cave abode were already extremely close to the level of a seventh-grade Dharmic Armament. As for the last puppet, when Wang Baole turned to look at it, joy and satisfaction filled his eyes.
That puppet was his old buddy who had followed him for many years, Zhu Gangqiang.
Perhaps it was because of Zhu Gangqiang’s uniqueness that Wang Baole had unexpectedly managed to refine it to become a seventh-grade Dharmic Armament. That was especially so with the integration of spirits, which gave Zhu Gangqiang a soul and made others feel that it had intelligence.
In terms of combat power, Zhu Gangqiang was also on the level of early-stage Core Formation realm!
Apart from that, Wang Baole also upgraded all the other Dharmic treasures that he could upgrade. Even the Fireworks Canister from before was modified. Wang Baole also managed to refine the armor for the mosquitoes. However, as the mosquitoes’ form was only seen when they flew out, Wang Baole kept the miniature armors after testing their strength. Right now, basking in delight, Wang Baole waved his hand and put away all the puppets. Afterward, he charged towards the main island of the Dao Palace!
He was making the journey to the main island because he had received notification that the Vast Expanse Dao Palace had finally managed to complete the preparations for the teleportation process that was needed for the trip to the Worship Palace Pavilion. The time to make the journey was set to evening on that very day!
Feng Qiuran also gave an explanation to why it was to happen in the evening. That was because the teleportation to the body of the sword had the highest accuracy during the evening.
Therefore, after notifying Zhao Yameng and Kong Dao, Wang Baole charged directly to the Dao Palace. He was slightly early, as before being teleported, he had something big that he wanted to do!
That was… to scare Little Duanmu!
Little Duanmu, this time, I will let you know that I, Wang Baole, will be Federation President.
