Chapter 251: Chapter 147: Seven-Star Thunderbolt Spear

Just in case, he also commanded the Celestial Yang Fire to smelt this portion of bone powder one more time, thoroughly purging it of all Demonic Qi.

After processing the Three Corpses Bone Demon Spine, Yang Jing took out various precious Spiritual Golds and used the same technique to freeze them into a fine powder.

These were mostly leftover materials from refining Spiritual Artifacts for various Immortal Cultivation Clans.

As the saying goes, a chef who doesn’t sneak a taste will never have a full pantry.

As an Artifact Refiner, it was only natural for him to skim a few Spiritual Materials for himself.

Using his Bright Qi Talent and Grotto Dark Dharma Eye, Yang Jing carefully blended the various powders of Spiritual Materials. He then used his Magical Power to mold them into a ten-foot-long Big Spear, ensuring each type of Spiritual Gold powder was in its most suitable position.

For example, the resilient Red Essence Fire Copper was used for the Big Spear’s core. The sharp Profound Essence Gang Silver was perfect for the spearhead’s edge, and the hard Profound Gold was ideal for the rest of the spearhead and for coating the shaft.

If not for the Spatial Restriction inside the Profound Celestial Furnace, there would have been no way to fit this spear.

He formed hand seals for a spell, driving one Restriction after another into the spear.

Since the spear was a handheld weapon, it didn’t require many of the essential Restrictions found in ordinary Magical Artifacts. This gave Yang Jing much more room to work.

The first Restriction he chose was the Great Cave True Thunder Prohibition. This Prohibition, recorded in the Great Cave True Thunder Technique, could be used for both Artifact Refining and Array Formation. The second was the Seven Star Treasure Prohibition, which came from the Artifact Refining Atlas for the Celestial Waterfall Sword.

The Three Corpses Bone Demon’s spine had been seared by Celestial Spirits Star Force, infusing it with Star Power. This gave it a considerable affinity for the Power of the Stars, making it a perfect match for this Prohibition.

In addition, Yang Jing meticulously selected seven other Restrictions, such as the Ruyi Prohibition and the Fire Dragon True Prohibition, and drove them into the Big Spear.

Aside from the Fire Dragon True Prohibition, taken from the Fire Dragon Sword Scripture, he had learned all the other Restrictions from the numerous Artifact Refining Atlases he had studied.

If an ordinary Artifact Refiner had attempted this, the Restrictions would have conflicted, making success impossible. But Yang Jing was not just an Artifact Refiner; he was also an Array Master. Harmonizing various Restrictions and integrating them into a cohesive whole was the very essence of an Array Master’s expertise.

In fact, many Artifact Refining Atlases were created by Artifact Refiners who were also masters of the Array Dao.

Having studied so many Artifact Refining Atlases recently, Yang Jing had long since mastered the intricacies of perfectly combining different Restrictions.

Once the Restrictions had merged with the Big Spear, Yang Jing immediately formed a hand seal and released a torrent of Sun True Fire, engulfing the weapon.

At this stage, the temperature across the entire Big Spear had to remain uniform for it to solidify and take shape properly.

Refining a palm-sized Spiritual Artifact like the Flying Spirit Shield was one thing; this step wouldn’t have been difficult then. But the Big Spear before him was a full ten feet long and slender, making the task immeasurably harder.

This was a great test of Yang Jing’s control over his Sun True Fire.

Yang Jing remained calm, not a hint of panic in his actions as he maintained steady control over his Magical Power. Under his command, the Sun True Fire flowed like water. The Big Spear within the flames gleamed with a brilliant golden light, looking as if it were forged from pure gold.

With wide eyes, he used his Grotto Dark Dharma Eye to observe the Big Spear’s condition. He didn’t withdraw the Sun True Fire until all the powders within the spear’s body had completely fused together.

The Big Spear was now nearly complete. Yang Jing applied the Five Elements Mutual Generation Principle, quenching the spear with Five Elements True Fire. He finished the process by using the Star True Fire from his Divine Fire Gourd.

The Star True Fire coiled around the spear’s shaft like a dragon. It remained for the time it takes an incense stick to burn before Yang Jing recalled it into the Divine Fire Gourd.

While still inside the Profound Celestial Furnace, the Big Spear let out a cry that sounded like a dragon’s roar. Its Spiritual Essence was far more abundant than any Spiritual Artifact he had previously forged.

If the Profound Celestial Furnace weren’t so sturdy, and if Yang Jing hadn’t been suppressing it, the spear might have pierced straight through the furnace wall and flown away.

’What a powerful Spiritual Artifact!’

Inside the Profound Celestial Furnace, the spear had only been exposed to Yang Jing’s Magical Power, not any other Spiritual Qi or Magical Power, leaving its aura pure.

If it left the furnace and was contaminated by outside auras, it would undergo unforeseen changes. Thus, the best course of action was to have Iron Head jump directly into the furnace to claim and refine it as his own.

Even Yang Jing hadn’t expected the Big Spear’s Spiritual Essence to be so remarkable, and Iron Head wasn’t by his side. He had no choice but to channel his Magical Power to pin the spear down inside the Profound Celestial Furnace while he summoned Yang Jingxu.

The Big Spear was like a newborn infant stuck in the birth canal, continuously letting out thunderous, dragon-like roars.

Yang Jingxu was stunned when he entered and saw the scene.

“Go get Iron Head.”

Yang Jing said to Yang Jingxu, all while carefully channeling his Magical Power to keep the Big Spear suppressed.

Yang Jingxu nodded and hurried away.

For the past month, on Meng Sima’s orders, Iron Head had been cleaning up Tribulation Cultivators and the trading companies that collaborated with them.

Backed by the influence of the Seven Nations Ticket Shop, most of the trading companies were compliant, eager to avoid being kicked out of the payment system. They promptly handed over any employees who had colluded with Tribulation Cultivators.

With the employees’ confessions, Iron Head easily pinpointed the general areas where the Tribulation Cultivators were active. The once-rampant cultivators couldn’t escape his Bright Qi Talent’s tracking and were captured one after another.

Because so many Tribulation Cultivators were involved, the other three disciples had also gone to assist him.

During this time, Iron Head’s fame soared, while the reputations of the Taichang Trading Company and the Celestial Treasure Tower were ruined among their peers.

After a good while, Iron Head, Yinjiao, Chi Yu, and Ji Feng finally arrived at the Quiet Chamber, looking weary and dust-covered from their travels.

Zuoqiu Feng had also come to see what the commotion was about.

“What a powerful Magical Artifact!”

An Gongyu’s eyes widened in amazement. As a Golden Core Cultivator, he was exceptionally perceptive. Although he couldn’t see the Big Spear through the Profound Celestial Furnace, he could still sense its wild, untamable Spiritual Essence.

It was rare for an ordinary Spiritual Artifact to possess such potent Spiritual Essence.

Zuoqiu Feng stared, a glint in her phoenix-like eyes.

“Quick, jump into the furnace and claim this spear,”

Yang Jing said to Iron Head.

Iron Head had absolute trust in his master. Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped directly into the Profound Celestial Furnace.

The Big Spear, having been suppressed for so long, sensed a living being enter the furnace. It immediately whipped its tip around and thrust straight at Iron Head.

Startled, Iron Head drew the Big Spear that Ji Feng had refined for him.

The two Big Spears clashed, erupting in a brilliant shower of sparks.

The space inside the Profound Celestial Furnace was considerable. Instead of using his Magical Power to suppress the weapon, Iron Head chose to compete with the new Big Spear in a contest of Spear Technique.

The new spear moved like a dragon, its Spiritual Essence granting it an innate, untaught mastery of Spear Technique.

Iron Head’s own spear technique, however, was like lightning. With the spear in his hands, he moved like a bolt of thunder, unstoppable.

Only after dozens of exchanges did the new Big Spear suddenly withdraw its power. It fell silent, hovering motionlessly within the furnace.

Iron Head glanced down at his own spear and saw that it was now riddled with nicks and gashes from the new weapon’s attacks.

He cautiously approached and took the new Big Spear in his hand.

The Big Spear did not resist.

Relieved, Iron Head sat cross-legged on the floor of the furnace, laying the Big Spear across his lap. He began to refine it with his Divine Sense and Magical Power. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he grasped the spear and leaped out of the Profound Celestial Furnace.

Only now could everyone in the Quiet Chamber finally see what the Magical Artifact looked like.

The Big Spear was ten feet long with a completely golden shaft. Only the cutting edge of the spearhead shone with a silvery light. The spearhead itself was shaped like a sword blade, its spine adorned with a seven-star pattern. The entire shaft was covered in a Dragon Scale pattern, making the weapon resemble a golden dragon.

Iron Head examined the spear’s shaft, unable to put it down.

“This spear contains the Great Cave True Thunder Prohibition. Only when you master the Great Cave True Thunder will you be able to unleash this spear’s full power.”

Yang Jing said, smiling at his disciple.

Iron Head’s Talent for the Celestial Thunder Technique was far inferior to Yinjiao’s. Even after being possessed by the Thunder God General, he had still failed to master the Great Cave True Thunder.

However, this Thunder Technique was inherently difficult to begin with. Without the amplification from having mastered the Five Thunders, it would naturally take more effort to comprehend.

Iron Head bowed respectfully to his master. He could clearly sense the intent of True Thunder lying dormant within the spear.

“Give it a name,”

Yang Jing said.

Iron Head scratched his head.

“Master, let’s call it the Seven-Star Thunderbolt Spear!”

The spear could activate the Seven Star Treasure Prohibition to gather indestructible Celestial Spirits Star Force on its blade. It could also channel the Great Cave True Thunder to launch its spearhead like a projectile. The name couldn’t have been more fitting.
