Chapter 462 - Artifact Spirit

Yang Junshan had thought that it wouldn’t even take a month to completely refine a Middle Ranked Spirit Weapon, but unexpectedly, three months had passed in the blink of an eye. That broken stone trump card was like a bottomless pit, Yang Junshan’s True Essence hadn’t been able to completely refine it yet.

He hadn’t refined a magical equipment for three months. Even a high grade spiritual equipment wasn’t that powerful. Could it be that this magical equipment was actually a treasure?

Yang Junshan’s heart was excited, the fatigue from refining the treasure for the past three months had all been swept away, and he continued to cultivate to refine the treasure.

Yang Junshan had heard Ouyang Xulin describe to him about the detailed ranking of treasures before. Normally, treasures would only form an Artifact spirit when they reached the Spirit Treasure level, but of course, this was not absolute, as some high quality artifacts would often form illusory artifacts as well. However, they were only illusory figures, and the power they possessed was limited.

However, the artifact spirit formed by Spirit Treasures usually had the instinct to protect their master. When the messenger lost the ability to control the spirit artifacts, the spirit artifacts would usually use the body to protect their master, but Spirit Treasures only had instinct.

The mountain cleaver in Yang Junshan’s hands was a low grade spirit treasure, and after refining it, the spirit of the mountain cleaver appeared in his dantian and was nurtured by the Nine Toughness True Handle. This spirit artifact looked exactly the same as the mountain cleaver, but its body was extremely small, only an inch or so long.

However, when the magical equipment reached the level of a treasure, the artifact spirit would undergo another transformation, gaining a portion of spiritual wisdom. It would even be able to communicate with the owner of the treasure simply, and under the situation where the treasure was out of control, it would be able to temporarily control the treasure in place of its master.

However, the spirit of an artifact often depends on the master of the artifact. It can be seen aart of the master’s mind, and thus, when the artifact is refined by different masters, the spirit of the artifact is different as well.

In other words, when the previous master of a treasure was refining it, the artifact spirit that was formed had the ability to seal the spirit of breaking mountain, but when his master changed and was refined by another cultivator, the artifact spirit might still look the same, but it would have no relation to the previous artifact spirit anymore. The spirit of breaking mountain sealed in the treasure would also automatically become ineffective, and the new master would need to seal a new ability inside it.

As for the legendary daoyin apparatus above the treasure, even Ouyang Xulin himself was not sure about its artifact spirit. However, he had once guessed that the daoyin apparatus’s artifact spirit might still be able to retain part of its memories and have the ability to communicate with its master even after its master had fallen in battle. Although the artifact spirit was still controlled by its master’s consciousness, it might still have the ability to think independently.

Of course, this was only Ouyang Xulin’s guess.

In the blink of an eye, another three months had passed. Just as Yang Junshan was looking forward to see if this broken mace was actually a daoyin apparatus, a sense of saturation suddenly came from his spiritual consciousness. Following that, the nine tenacious primeval essence that had been infused into the mace started to flow back into his body, and Yang Junshan finally realised that this treasure was finally at the critical point of being refined.

Yang Junshan’s expression became excited, and immediately focused on observing the change in the stone mace. One must know that it was extremely possible that this wareasure, this was the first time Yang Junshan had seen such a high level treasure in his previous life.

A ball of spiritual light slowly condensed on the half broken mace, and gradually, a half foot long vivid and lifelike pangolin lay on top of the mace, its pair of eyes opened hazily, and the moment it saw Yang Junshan, it suddenly raised its two forelimbs, revealing a surprised expression, and spoke in human language: “Ah, it’s master’s turn!”

Yang Junshan was truly shocked, at this time, it was fine for the spirit artifact to bangolin, but the key point was what did it mean by saying that, could it be that it still remembered the previous master?

Yang Junshan immediately asked: “How do you know who changed master? Do you still remember who refined you before?”

The little pangolin’s eyes were immediately filled with confusion. It shook its head with all its might and said, “Ah, I seem to remember, but I also don’t seem to remember. There are many things that are vague and powerful, and they seem to have been scattered.

The small Pangolin chased after its tail and nimbly spun it around on the mace. Suddenly, it saw the broken cross section of the mace behind it, and immediately shouted, “Ah, why did it break, why did my body break? Oh, why am I still alive after my main body was broken? It can’t be that my main body was damaged, so I lost a lot of memories?”

Yang Junshan was struck dumb by the little fellow’s exclamation, and then couldn’t help but ask: “Then do you remember what rank of treasure you are? A low, middle, or high rank treasure?”

“Treasure?”

The Little Pangolin shook its head. Just as Yang Junshan was in a state of ecstasy that was about to break through his brain, it heard the little Pangolin say: “I don’t know!”

“Then how did your main body shatter, and how did it break, do you remember?”

“Eh, yes, how did my original body break into pieces? Wow, of course it was broken! However, it was shattered by someone. Oh, I can’t remember, but it seems like the former master was not as strong as the previous owner, which was why he was broken! ”

Yang Junshan felt a surge of uncontrollable rage in his heart, and could only say: “Tell me about yourself, what do you remember that you had?”

The pangolin’s tail and two hind legs easily propped up its upper body, its two front paws were placed on its chest, its eyes were dazed for a moment, then clear, and it said: “Wu, I don’t remember, I clearly remember a lot of things, but I just can’t remember. How about you help me find the lost fragment of my main body, maybe I can think of even more!”

Yang Junshan asked, “Can you sense where the other parts of your body are located?”

However, the little guy soon seemed to remember something and became excited. He said, “Ha, that’s right, the true essence you have cultivated is very suitable for me to recover. It seems that the source energy you have cultivated is the same as the source energy I have formed.”

Yang Junshan narrowed his eyes and asked: “Could it be that the true essence cultivated by the previous master of your original body is not compatible with yours?”

The little pangolin nodded and said, “Hm, it is very rare for it to be compatible with me, so my power is rarely displayed. Sigh, but it is now impossible for me to use it completely. My original body has lost two-thirds of its power!”

Yang Junshan then said, “Your original body has lost two-thirds of its strength, so how could an artifact spirit like you remain in that third of your original body?”

The little Pangolin actually rolled its eyes, it said: “Heh, isn’t that simple? That two-thirds of its original body must have broken into a few pieces. That way, that one-third of its original body would actually be the largest, so of course I will stay here as well.”

Yang Junshan still wanted to ask about some information, to see if he could trigger the blurry memories of the little pangolin, but the little guy was yawning continuously at this time, his expression becoming even weaker, as he laid on the stone mace and mumbled, “Aiyo, I just woke up, can I rest for a bit, it’s really too tiring, you know, if it wasn’t for the attraction of your True Origin, I wouldn’t have woken up so quickly!”

Yang Junshan extended his hand helplessly, and the little pangolin immediately jumped into his hands, and gradually disappeared into his palms. The stone mace that was initially floating in front of him also disappeared as well.

Yang Junshan closed his eyes and sunk his consciousness into his dantian, only to see that the half of the stone mace actually tyrannically landed on the black mountain condensed from his True Divine Origin, while the Little Pangolin actually left the body of the stone mace, and condensed below the stone mace to lie down on the black mountain, sleeping soundly.

This was originally a place where only Yang Junshan’s life treasure, Mountain Monarch Seal, could exist. Even though the quality of the mountain cleaver was higher than the Mountain Monarch Seal, but it could only be nurtured outside of the True Divine Handle, and Yang Junshan was the one who activated the True Divine Art to nurture the mountain cleaver. Otherwise, the moment the mountain cleaver moved closer to the True Divine Art, it would be driven away by the Mountain Monarch Seal, as the mountain cleaver was actually not a match for the half spirit artifact, the Mountain Monarch Seal.

The Mountain Monarch Seal did not show any hostility as it allowed the mace to start absorbing the True Divine Energy to recover. It had to be known that the Mountain Monarch Seal’s artifact spirit was like a mountain tiger, and this object carried a tyrannical attribute, and it was not allowed to occupy this region with its source energy.

F * ck, could this guy be scared? It seems like this mace is really not simple!

However, when the mace fell into the True Divine Domain, it was not like the Dove Nest Sparrow. It seemed to understand that the Mountain Monarch Seal had the advantage as a life treasure, as long as the Mountain Monarch Seal allowed it to absorb the True Divine Realm to recover, it would not display any hostility towards the Mountain Monarch Seal.

As for the mountain cleaver, it was originally at the periphery of the Dantian. Now that the mace had descended, the mountain cleaver was actually able to move far away from the Dantian’s core, as if it could feel the unfathomable aura from the stone mace.

Yang Junshan laughed bitterly. He had originally thought that after opening the treasure wrapped in glass, he would find out the truth behind the treasure, but he didn’t expect that after getting the half of the stone mace and a muddle-headed pangolin artifact spirit, he would instead obtain more mysteries.

Refining this stone trump card, which could not be determined until now, had taken up half a year of Yang Junshan’s time. Although it was impossible for Yang Junshan to put all his experience into refining this stone trump card in this half a year, there were still a lot of other things that had to be delayed.

The most important of them all was the photo-inheritance bead that he had acquired the same night as the mace, and this inheritance pearl that Yang Tiangang had been unable to open once again easily opened when it came into contact with the nine tenacious true essence in his hands.

Previously, he had to distract himself refining the fossil mace, so after realizing that he could activate it, he did not continue looking through the contents recorded within. However, just seeing the topic of the inheritance pearl’s description, Yang Junshan’s heart moved.

The Heaven Shaking Art, this, could it be that the record in this book was Dao Techniques and Divine Powers?
