Chapter 67 Upgrading the Soul Refining Flag
Take out the tattered and damaged Soul Refining Banner.
Chen Jie carefully transferred all the main souls inside the banner.
The nine main souls and all the other deceased souls were placed in the main flag of the soul-gathering array in the underground secret chamber and properly sealed.
To prevent damage to the main soul and leakage of evil energy during the upgrade process of refining the soul banner.
After completing the preliminary preparations, he cleared his mind of all distractions, and his thoughts settled into a state of clarity.
next moment,
He sat cross-legged on the core of the underground secret chamber array, his aura calm, waiting for the refining to begin.
Swish!
Chen Jie's expression suddenly turned solemn, and his fingertips rapidly formed complex incantations for refining the incantation.
A delicate jade box floated in front of him, containing the thousand-year-old lightning-struck Yin wood that he had spent a fortune to acquire.
A chilling, malevolent aura was faintly emanating from the area.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—
He raised his hand and threw out the battle flags in succession.
The thirty-six battle flags were precisely positioned in all directions around the perimeter according to ancient and mysterious arrangement rules.
In an instant, the prototype of a special sacrificial array was sketched out.
The formation is in place!
Chen Jie then took out various materials and sealed wooden boxes that he had prepared in advance from the storage bag, opened them all and displayed them around.
Each wooden box contains rare auxiliary spiritual materials needed to upgrade the Soul Refining Banner.
Every single material was something he had prepared and carefully accumulated beforehand.
Everything is for the advancement and upgrade of the Soul Refining Banner.
Looking at the dazzling array of precious materials before him, Chen Jie took a deep breath.
He suppressed the restlessness in his heart, closed his eyes slightly, and entered a deep state of clear meditation.
boom!
The moment he opened his eyes again, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, its oppressive power filling the entire underground chamber.
The moment the malevolent energy surged, the spirit stones embedded in the bases of the thirty-six array flags around the area simultaneously lit up with brilliant spiritual light, and the array was instantly activated and ready to unleash its power.
Waaah—!
The entire magic array is now fully operational!
Inside the sealed room, a chilling wind howled, whipping up a fierce storm of malevolent energy.
The malevolent aura surged and swirled, its power terrifying.
Chen Jie sat firmly in the center of the formation, his body completely still.
Despite the howling winds and the sweeping evil aura, he remained steadfast and unwavering throughout.
His fingertips moved incessantly, forming hand seals.
A continuous stream of pure magical power flowed out, precisely guiding the thousand-year-old lightning-struck Yin Wood within the jade box to slowly rise into the air and hover in the center of the magic array.
The howling sound of the magic array grew even more intense!
The scattered Yin energy was drawn by the formation and converged towards the thousand-year-old lightning-struck Yin wood, continuously pouring into its body.
Seeing the formation in operation, the malevolent energy gathered, and everything seemed normal.
Chen Jie closed his eyes again, and his divine sense spread out, penetrating the magic array barrier.
Next,
He firmly controlled the flow of Yin energy and the rhythm of the ritual in the entire area, daring not to deviate even slightly.
In an instant,
The thirty-six array flags around seemed to come alive, their spiritual light flowing endlessly, flashing with seven-colored halos, dazzling and spectacular.
Then, a bizarre scene quietly unfolded.
The seven-colored spiritual light, accompanied by the yin energy, slowly traveled and transformed, eventually being absorbed and devoured by the thousand-year-old lightning-struck yin wood.
The color of the yin wood gradually deepened and solidified, becoming as black as ink, profound and restrained.
All the spiritual light from the array converged into the Yin Wood, completely stabilizing and settling it.
The suspended, thousand-year-old lightning-struck Yin wood was surrounded by an increasingly heavy and intimidating Yin aura, its ferocity hidden in the shadows.
Chen Jie remained unfazed and activated his magic technique once more!
A peculiar flame appeared out of thin air, steadily wrapping around and enveloping the thousand-year-old lightning-struck Yin Wood.
This fire is no ordinary earthly fire, but a sinister fire condensed from the souls of countless dead, chilling to the bone, created specifically for refining the Soul Banner.
Om-!
The Yin-evil fire rises and burns!
The entire underground chamber was instantly enveloped in a chilling blue light, sending a bone-chilling cold through it.
The Yin Sha Fire appears ordinary and weak, unable to ignite even ordinary objects.
It may seem flashy and impractical, but it is actually incredibly powerful and is the supreme flame for refining soul weapons.
Under the continuous burning of the Yin Fire!
A mysterious phenomenon slowly appeared, with wisps of black smoke gradually rising from the surface of the thousand-year-old lightning-struck Yin wood.
Just like when he first refined the Soul Refining Banner, the locust wood underwent a transformation process after being soaked in the juice of foxtail grass.
At this moment, the foundation of the thousand-year-old Yin Wood is being rebuilt with Yin Sha Fire.
The thousand-year-old lightning-struck Yin wood, which was originally just a short section, slowly stretched and took shape under the blessing of the array and the tempering of Yin Sha fire!
It is meticulously crafted and sculpted into a perfectly shaped and exquisitely crafted flagpole blank.
The sculpting process may seem to be summarized in just a few words, but it actually requires a great deal of mental effort.
Chen Jie repeatedly forged and tempered this piece of thousand-year-old lightning-struck Yin wood with Yin Sha fire for a full four hours before finally forging the flagpole blank into a flawless shape.
call--!
Seeing that the flagpole blank had taken shape smoothly, Chen Jie's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He continuously manipulated the formation for four hours without interruption.
Activate your divine sense to maintain the forging process!
Even though he had broken through to the fifth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, and his spiritual sense and magical power were far superior to before, he still felt extremely exhausted, and his sea of consciousness was faintly stinging.
A bitter smile crept onto his face.
Such intense and continuous refining is extremely demanding on one's spiritual consciousness and mind, truly a severe test.
Although the flagpole had been shaped, he dared not relax for a moment, remaining focused and vigilant, steadily advancing the subsequent processes.
boom!
Chen Jie's hand seals changed rapidly.
The countless Yin-evil flames flickered for a moment before slowly receding and dissipating into the void.
The only thing suspended in mid-air was the completed banner pole, held firmly by a vortex of malevolent energy, preventing it from falling.
Whoosh!
With a flick of his fingertip, Chen Jie caused the suspended banner to fall steadily into his palm. It felt cool and heavy, with a restrained aura of malevolence.
He clenched his teeth slightly and bit his tongue hard.
puff--!
A mouthful of pure essence blood sprayed out, landing on the surface of the banner pole, instantly condensing into a blood-red natal rune.
Chen Jie activated his mind, manipulating the crimson runes to slowly permeate the area.
A tiny bit of essence blood rune seeped into the core of the banner pole, imprinting itself on the very origin of the mind.
A moment later,
The bloodstains on the banner pole had completely disappeared, and the blood essence runes had vanished without a trace, merging seamlessly with the banner pole.
After doing all this, Chen Jie used his divine sense to remotely control the various rare auxiliary materials that had been prepared in advance, continuously throwing them onto the surface of the flagpole.
boom--!
In an instant, the surface of the flagpole emitted an unusual, dazzling light.
All kinds of top-grade materials, such as black iron, refined gold, and rare animal hides, were melted and combined into one.
Compared to the old Soul Refining Banner, it is almost equivalent to a complete reforging and renovation.
This upgrade is completely different from the first refining!
Chen Jie spared no expense, using all the best materials, and meticulously crafted the work to achieve the highest level of perfection.
Following the ancient method of upgrading the Soul Refining Banner, all spiritual materials and secret techniques are perfectly integrated into the Soul Refining Banner.
The final crucial step is to engrave the core magic array runes.
Having gained mature experience from the first refining, and with his greatly increased cultivation level, his control over his divine sense is now vastly different from before.
The process of engraving the runes was smooth and effortless.
Chen Jie was completely focused, his mind extremely concentrated, meticulously engraving layers of core magic arrays and secret patterns on the new Soul Refining Banner, not daring to make the slightest mistake.
Time flies, and a day and a night pass in the blink of an eye.
Chen Jie finally emerged from the underground training chamber of the Roufeng Slaughterhouse.
At this moment, he looked somewhat haggard, his face tired, and his eyes were bloodshot.
but,
However, it could not conceal his barely suppressed excitement and joy.
The thought of the newly upgraded and transformed Soul Refining Banner filled Chen Jie with excitement, and he almost raised his arms and roared.
This natal magic weapon took him countless efforts and a lot of spirit stones to carefully polish and refine every step of the way!
Now, as expected, it has finally achieved a perfect upgrade.
Although the upgraded grade is unclear, the improvement is obvious.
Before the upgrade,
The Soul Refining Banner is just a very ordinary low-grade magic artifact with limited capacity; it can only hold a maximum of nine main souls.
Once the number of main souls exceeds a certain limit, the banner body will collapse directly, unable to withstand the burden.
And now the foundation of the banner is extremely stable!
Even if it is later refined into the Myriad Soul Banner, this brand-new Soul Refining Banner will still be as solid as a rock, with more than enough bearing capacity.
The upgraded Soul Refining Banner is enough to accompany him in his cultivation until he reaches the Golden Core realm.
Before reaching the 100,000 Soul Banners, there is no need to expend resources to upgrade and refine them again.
