I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 2816: Chapter 1308: The Phoenix’s Arch-Nemesis

The Phoenix tribe has been exploring the Great Dao of the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Zither for many years.

However, apart from the broken string, the other four Great Daos have various interpretations by the Sixth Rank Artifact Refiners.

Without a standard answer, the Phoenix tribe dares not to confirm which is correct. Yet, after years of opinions from the Artifact Refiners, some ideas have been repeatedly suggested, such as the "Great Dao of Life."

Because the body of the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Zither is made from Parasol Divine Wood, and this Spirit Plant, when revived, possesses the Great Dao of Life.

"If there is a Great Dao of Life, how can there be a Great Dao of Death? These are opposing and forbidden to appear in a single Magic Artifact..."

At this moment, Immortal in Flames, who had just been persuaded back by Pharmacist Li, couldn’t help but argue.

After listening, Chen Mobai knew that the heritage of the Mysterious Fire Sect was likely mediocre, probably only reaching the Sixth Rank, so he couldn’t care less to respond.

"Hmph, sometimes ignorance is bliss."

Chen Mobai remained silent, but Great Ancient True Monarch couldn’t hold back, and directly began to mock Immortal in Flames.

"What do you mean by that? Am I wrong? This is a common understanding in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Talisman Making..."

Immortal in Flames clearly understood that Great Ancient True Monarch was referring to him and immediately began to counter.

"Mr. Zhu, in Artifact Refining, you might need to avoid conflicting material properties, but in Alchemy, this only matters for low-rank elixirs. High-rank elixirs may require hundreds or even thousands of ingredients, and conflicting properties can exist but can be balanced through methods..."

Pharmacist Li, being a friend of Immortal in Flames, quickly stepped in to mediate.

"That’s correct. We are discussing Artifact Refining now, so I say that the Great Daos of Life and Death cannot coexist in a single Magic Artifact!"

Immortal in Flames used Pharmacist Li’s words to reiterate his point.

"Do you know that there exists an Innate Great Dao named Life and Death?"

Great Ancient True Monarch smirked and presented a question.

"Innate Great Dao? What is that? Are there differences between innate and acquired Daos?"

These words from Immortal in Flames led Dustless True Monarch Ao Yuxia and others to laugh. freёwebnovel.com

"Mr. Zhu, this topic might be too advanced for you. If you truly don’t understand, you can later ask Mr. Chen for guidance. For now, don’t waste his valuable time."

No longer able to bear it, Feng Qingshu wanted to stop Immortal in Flames from continuing.

"Chief Feng, I am helping you keep a check. Although my Artifact Refining Technique might be slightly inferior to Chen Guixian’s, my experience is far greater than his over centuries..."

Unconvinced, Immortal in Flames asserted that he was acting in the interest of Heavenly Phoenix Valley.

At this point, Feng Qingshu regretted inviting both Immortal in Flames and Fan Yun for this.

He initially thought these two, both as Fifth Rank Artifact Refiners, even if not as skilled as Chen Mobai, could at least oversee, preventing excessive wastage of the Sixth Rank Materials during the zither restoration.

Heavenly Phoenix Valley had previously suffered from such losses, even though the Sixth Rank materials were extremely precious for even a force like theirs. There were even unethical Artifact Refiners who pocketed profits during the restoration process.

Considering ancestral lessons, Feng Qingshu invited Chen Mobai this time with the express purpose of having two top Fifth Rank Artifact Refiners from the Southern State to oversee.

Who would have expected, instead, this face had been lost in front of people from East Continent.

How did he not realize Zhu Wujiu’s skill was so poor before?

And yet he dared to call himself "Immortal in Flames"?

"These remaining four zither strings, due to the lack of continuation from the original broken strings, need not only new strings but also adequate infusion of the Power of the Great Dao before they can develop spirituality and complete the stringing process."

Knowing Immortal in Flames’ skill and caliber, Chen Mobai directly ignored him and began discussing his plans with Feng Qingshu.

"Is there anything our clan can do for you?"

After listening, Feng Qingshu asked courteously.

Once Chen Mobai had repaired the Sound String, he was already the highest-ranking guest of Heavenly Phoenix Valley.

"Can you invite cultivators of these four Great Daos?" Chen Mobai felt that with the foundation of Heavenly Phoenix Valley, they might truly be able to invite one or two and couldn’t help but ask.

"The Power of the Great Dao is almost life and death for God-Transcending cultivators. If it’s just a short-term infusion, our clan’s reputation might be enough, but to cultivate it to a Sixth Rank level, it’s probably not feasible..." Feng Qingshu shook his head politely.

This aligned with Chen Mobai’s assumptions.

"Then we can only take the second approach. I’ll first refine the new strings and then look for ways to slowly collect the Power of these four Great Daos from between heaven and earth. When it matures, and if I haven’t achieved ascendance by then, I’ll return to string them."

The Three Thousand Great Daos exist between heaven and earth. In theory, if there is an appropriate vessel for the Dao, it is indeed possible to find ways to collect it.

But historically, in the Tianhe Realm, no one ever engaged in such labor-intensive, thankless tasks.

Because achieving this would require at least a God-Transcending, but even they find their time insufficient for absorbing Dao power. And refining the Power of the Great Dao they are not proficient in might yield scarcely any result for extensive effort.

"This will likely take over a thousand years!"

Feng Qingshu roughly estimated and was startled, realizing that the four new strings would meet stringing standards no time soon in his lifetime.
