Chapter 695: Divine Furnace

Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi had exhausted their efforts. After obtaining several opportunities, they were finally able to attempt to resurrect an Immortal Aunt today. In this realm, they used the power of incense to revive her Primordial Spirit imprint, then used a red-gold stone human body nurtured by heaven and earth, combined with Life Water—a substance containing massive amounts of life essence—to have a chance at reversing life and death.

Accompanied by various strange phenomena above the Dao Mountain.

A red-gold stone human was now inhabited by a new Primordial Spirit, after which massive amounts of life essence rained down, promoting the fusion between body and spirit.

Perhaps it was because this red-gold stone human was too miraculous, or perhaps it was because Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi had prepared too thoroughly.

This resurrection appeared exceptionally smooth.

Very quickly.

The red-gold stone human gradually transformed into a beautiful woman. This woman was graceful and charming, exceptionally stunning, yet appeared dignified and mature. She possessed an air of nobility, and between her brows was a touch of tenderness that could not be melted away.

"Senior Sister Miaohuizi."

Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi were quite excited.

They had never dreamed that their Eldest Senior Sister, who had once given everything, even her life, for the Heavenly Dao Sect, would actually be resurrected by their own hands one day.

And this Immortal Aunt, known as Miaohuizi, had now completely regained her consciousness. She opened her eyes and immediately became clear-headed.

Because her body was transformed from a red-gold stone human, Miaohuizi's eyes appeared pale red, like two bright rubies, exceptionally lively.

"It's Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi..." Miaohuizi was initially a bit dazed; after all, her soul had only just taken form and was not yet strong, and having just acquired a new body, she had not yet adapted.

But very quickly.

Miaohuizi's heavy memories from before surfaced in her mind.

"Where is this? I seem to have had a very long dream." She couldn't help but look around.

The surrounding architecture was very familiar, as if it were somewhere in the Dao Court, but the spiritual energy of this world was not exhausted; on the contrary, it was very dense. Had the spiritual energy of the Dharma-Ending Age revived again?

But looking at it, it didn't seem like it.

With various questions in her heart, Miaohuizi did not rush to ask. Instead, she steadied her mind and attempted to breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as well as the life essence dissipating around her, recovering some strength while also better adapting to her new body.

"Senior Sister, this is no longer the world of the Dharma-Ending Age of cultivation. We obtained an opportunity and were saved by Lord Dayi. Now, we have left the Dao Court and crossed realms to another world..." Taking this opportunity, Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi immediately gave a simple account of the subsequent events.

Miaohuizi was shocked: "So many things happened after I sat in meditation that day?"

Although what Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi said was very simple, it contained a massive amount of information, making it difficult for one to accept for a moment.

"Senior Sister Miaohuizi, you were actually resurrected." At this moment, the Goddess Yun Yun Feizi, seeing this scene from afar, found it unbelievable. She could not suppress the excitement in her heart and hurriedly rode the clouds over.

"It is the Goddess." Miaohuizi was also somewhat joyful.

As long as the Goddess lineage and the Seven Immortal Aunts lineage were both still around, the Heavenly Dao Sect would be passed on without end.

"Yun Yun Feizi, you actually crossed realms to come here too?" Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi felt a bit surprised to see her appear.

Yun Yun Feizi said: "I begged Lord Dayi to send me over, wanting to see how the two Immortal Aunts were doing. After all, it has been a long time since we last parted."

"Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi and I have been following Tai Yi, training everywhere, and everything is well. Now, having found an opportunity in this realm, we have a chance to resurrect the other three Immortal Aunts, so we crossed realms to settle here for the time being. Goddess, there is no need to worry. You have only just left the Dharma-Ending Age cultivation world; you should follow Tai Yi and strive for the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown and Five Qis Returning to the Origin as soon as possible."

Xuan Yuezi said in a cold voice.

"The two of us have not only achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, but our Flower of Life has also reached Great Perfection. I believe it won't be long before we can advance further. Yun Yun Feizi, you are a natural Dao Body, and now you have only bloomed two flowers; this damages your reputation as a Goddess." Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi spoke up.

"The two of you are right. I will definitely cultivate diligently in the future. However, being able to see the two Immortal Aunts today, along with the resurrection of Senior Sister Miaohuizi, I can consider this trip worthwhile." Yun Yun Feizi sighed with emotion.

But just as they were gathered together.

Within the Red Gold Mountain of the Savage World.

On this day, a gale blew fiercely over a mountain range of the Red Gold Mountain, lightning struck frequently, and various strange phenomena of heaven and earth continued without end. At times, a golden sun appeared from the dark clouds, at times it dissipated into ten thousand zhang of golden light, at times a phantom of a divine tree covered the sky and sun, and at times it condensed into bolts of lightning that struck down.

The spiritual energy of the entire sky gathered, as if signaling that something was about to be born.

Such a grand and imposing phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of all the cultivators within the Red Gold Mountain. They flew out of their caves one after another, standing high in the firmament, gazing at the source of the phenomenon.

Even many merchants and warriors in Red Mountain City looked up at the sky in doubt. Although they did not know what was happening, the wise sighed that this was a sign that a supreme treasure was about to be born.

"It is the direction of Daoist Master Tiangong's cave. Could his Divine Wood Red Gold Furnace have been successfully refined? Otherwise, how could there be such a massive phenomenon?"

"It must be so. I felt an aura that is supreme and rigid. This aura is very massive, vast and mighty, making one's heart palpitate."

"The Dao Tool Sect has truly refined an incredible Dao furnace. The opportunities in this world are too abundant. With red gold and divine wood as materials, I fear a Dao tool is about to be born."

These cultivators couldn't help but sigh while gazing from afar.

They also envied Daoist Master Tiangong's opportunity to be able to refine such a supreme treasure in his lifetime.

At this moment.

Li Yi also rose into the air, rushing out of the City Lord's Mansion. Stepping on a cloud of auspiciousness, he also saw the phenomenon above Daoist Master Tiangong's cave.

"Is the Dao furnace refined?"

His heart inexplicably became a bit excited.

As long as the Dao furnace is complete, red-gold divine weapons will be produced continuously. When that time comes, with everyone having a few pieces, there will be nowhere in this world that one cannot go.

Why were Dao tools in the cultivation world so precious before? Refining difficulty was one thing, but the most important thing was the scarcity of materials. Dao tools had too high a requirement for materials; many cultivators could not gather the materials needed for a single Dao tool in their entire lives.

This was because the cultivation world had been prosperous for too long, and the foundation of a realm had almost been exhausted; there were no heavenly materials or earthly treasures to be excavated.

But the Savage World is different. It is rich in products and can support Li Yi and the others in their wanton squandering.

Just when everyone was looking forward to it.

Suddenly.

A mountain peak of the mountain range was suddenly forcibly blasted open by a magnificent force. A divine furnace radiated infinite brilliance, carrying golden flames, and leaped out from the mountain body.

It hovered above the firmament, swallowing the spiritual energy from all directions.

Countless golden patterns appeared on the furnace body cast from red gold. These patterns intertwined, possessing god-and-ghost-defying power like dense array diagrams.

With the gathering of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, this golden array diagram was activated, and a golden furnace fire rose from thin air.

Once this golden firelight appeared, the entire Red Gold Mountain seemed to be shrouded by a great sun. The temperature soared instantly, especially around that Divine Wood Red Gold Furnace, where the mountain body itself was melting.

If one were to get close to this golden flame, even red gold would be melted.

And the reason why the Dao furnace refined from red gold was not damaged was because Daoist Master Tiangong had added divine wood branches.

The Dao fire erupted from the divine wood leaves could not destroy the divine wood branches because both were of the same root and origin. Only in this way could the Dao furnace be successfully refined. Otherwise, if only red gold were used as the material, once the Dao fire was ignited, the Dao furnace would immediately be unable to withstand such high temperatures and collapse directly.

As more and more spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered, the golden furnace fire inside the Dao furnace burned more and more vigorously. Even though the golden flames jumped out of the Dao furnace, they did not damage the Dao furnace.

And Daoist Master Tiangong was ecstatic to see this scene.

"It's done. The Divine Wood Red Gold Furnace has been successfully refined." Seeing the Dao fire successfully ignited and the Dao furnace able to withstand the burning of the golden flames, he let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Afterwards, Daoist Master Tiangong hurriedly pinched the magic seal, controlling the magic array within the Divine Wood Red Gold, controlling this Dao furnace's absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Without the support of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the surging golden flames that had already dissipated began to converge rapidly, while also constantly shrinking.

After only a moment, a ball of golden flames was stably burning inside the Divine Wood Red Gold Furnace.

And with the insulation of the divine furnace, the surrounding high temperature began to dissipate rapidly, and the cool aura nearby surged over again, which made everyone involuntarily reveal a trace of a smile.

"This immortal tool is a success." Li Yi flew over impatiently at the first opportunity.

He examined this divine furnace, and seeing the golden flame inside, he couldn't help but feel his heart palpitate. This was a divine flame capable of melting red gold; anyone present who touched this thing would be incinerated instantly.

Therefore, this divine furnace could not only be used to refine red-gold Dao tools, but it was also a terrifying great killing weapon in its own right.

Just imagine, if this divine furnace erupted with power when facing an enemy, pouring out the golden flames from within, who could withstand it?

Or if the divine furnace lid fell, if an enemy were collected into the furnace, how could they possibly survive?

"Tai Yi, I have not failed the mission. This Divine Wood Red Gold Furnace has been successfully refined." Daoist Master Tiangong was covered in dust at this moment, but he could not hide the excitement in his heart.

"Many thanks, Senior. With this divine object, our future is promising." Li Yi bowed to him very solemnly.

Daoist Master Tiangong laughed: "Dare not, dare not. This old Daoist has only contributed a meager effort. If not for such divine materials, I would never have been able to refine a Dao-achieving tool. However, although the Divine Wood Red Gold Furnace is complete, the tool spirit still needs a period of time to gestate. Once the tool spirit emerges, there will be no need for this old Daoist to control the refining of Dao tools; the tool spirit will be able to control this divine furnace to refine Dao tools."

He spoke with great pride.

Because he had imprinted all the great arrays mastered by the Dao Tool Sect into the Divine Furnace, he only needed the artifact spirit to awaken, and the Dao Furnace would automatically infuse various arrays into the refined objects, automatically turning them into Dao tools.

Li Yi did not care about these things. He asked directly: "Then is it possible to refine red-gold Dao tools now?"

"Naturally, there is no problem." Daoist Master Tiangong said confidently: "Does Tai Yi want to try?"

Li Yi handed over the damaged Star-Shattering Spear: "This Dao tool of mine is damaged. If it is re-refined with red gold, can it be better than before?"

Daoist Master Tiangong immediately took the Star-Shattering Spear, then waved his large hand, taking several large pieces of red gold from his cave, and then threw them into the Divine Wood Red Gold Furnace in front of him.

"Tai Yi, watch closely. See how fast this divine furnace refines Dao tools." Daoist Master Tiangong threw the materials into the divine furnace.

Accompanied by the jumping of the golden furnace fire, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth nearby surged over again.

As the Star-Shattering Spear and the red gold melted together, they fused with each other. As the golden array patterns inside the divine furnace lit up, strange traces were imprinted on a spear-shaped Dao tool.

Daoist Master Tiangong pinched the magic seal, controlling the divine furnace to refine the Dao tool.

It was only about an hour or so.

A brilliant divine light rushed out from the Dao furnace, and a terrifying energy fluctuation came, making one involuntarily palpitate.

After the divine light dissipated.

A spear cast from red gold appeared before Li Yi's eyes.

"Red Gold Star-Shattering Spear. Tai Yi, please take a look." Daoist Master Tiangong said with a smile.

Li Yi reached out and grabbed it from the air. The spear flew over and landed in his hand. He just waved it casually, and a divine light slashed out from the Star-Shattering Spear, instantly shattering a mountain and tearing apart a piece of land.

And he himself hadn't even infused any magic power into it.

Seeing this scene, his pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly: "The power is this great?"

Daoist Master Tiangong laughed loudly: "That is of course. The Star-Shattering Spear in your hand before, Tai Yi, was a middle-grade Dao tool refined by my Junior Brother, and the material was too poor, and too many killing arrays were engraved, making it somewhat neither fish nor fowl. However, that Junior Brother of mine was also a clever woman unable to cook without rice. In order to increase its power, he had to forcibly raise the Dao tool's grade. But it is different now."

"With divine materials like red gold, the material of this spear has already surpassed the inheritance Dao tool and can carry many times more great arrays than before. It only needs to be slowly nurtured. Once the tool spirit emerges, this spear will not need to be controlled and can follow you, Tai Yi, to kill enemies on its own."

"So miraculous?" Li Yi was very surprised: "When I held the Xuanhuang Seal, the inheritance Dao tool of the Seven Immortal Aunts lineage, I didn't have this ability."

"The tool spirit of an inheritance Dao tool can control the Dao tool to kill enemies; this is not strange. The Xuanhuang Seal of the Seven Immortal Aunts lineage experienced the Dharma-Ending Age, the tool spirit does not exist, and the great arrays have been worn away, naturally not returning to the power of its peak time." Daoist Master Tiangong explained: "It is not just the Xuanhuang Seal that is like this; the Tianyi Sword of the Tianyi Sect is also somewhat damaged. And once an inheritance Dao tool is damaged, it can at most be considered a high-grade Dao tool."

"No wonder." Li Yi understood at this moment; it turns out that what he had been using before were all defective products. They were called inheritance Dao tools, but they had long since lost the power of their peak time.

However, the few Immortal Aunts from back then had also told him about this point.

Afterwards, he said again: "Since the spear can be re-refined, then I also entrust this Red Chi Chi Yu Zi Jin Armor on my body to you, Senior."

Since he wanted to change, he would change all the weapons and armor on his body together.

"This is easy. Tai Yi, please hand it to this old Daoist. This old Daoist will re-refine a set of Dao tools for you, Tai Yi." Daoist Master Tiangong also wanted to use this divine furnace at this moment, so he agreed immediately, and then re-refined Li Yi's damaged Red Chi Chi Yu Zi Jin Armor combined with red gold.

This time it took longer.

It took a full two hours.

But this speed was already astonishing. One must know that refining a Dao tool in the cultivation world takes at least several months, or even several years.

And the reason for such efficiency was entirely because of this divine furnace.

Very quickly.

Another treasure light flew out of the divine furnace, turning into a set of battle armor.

"This armor is named Red Chi Chi Jin Zi Yu Armor. Tai Yi, please accept it." Daoist Master Tiangong said with a smile, then waved his hand, and this treasure armor flew toward Li Yi.

Li Yi took it directly, struck in a Primordial Spirit imprint, and made it his own. Afterwards, this Dao tool treasure armor wore itself on his body.

The armor fused with red gold was indestructible, like a piece of red treasure jade, exquisite and extraordinary.

"Very good." The joy on Li Yi's face became even greater. Afterwards, he again asked Daoist Master Tiangong to help re-refine his storage Dao tool, the Five Elements Bracelet.

In the last battle, the Five Elements Bracelet had already developed cracks. He was afraid that one day this thing would be completely damaged, and the treasures stored inside would vanish into thin air, so re-refining it was inevitable.

Daoist Master Tiangong naturally agreed happily, then added red gold to the Five Elements Bracelet and re-refined it.

Storage-level Dao tools are more cumbersome, and this time it took a full four hours to complete the refining.

Another five-colored treasure light rushed out of the divine furnace.

A brand new Red Gold Five Elements Bracelet appeared before Li Yi's eyes.

After Li Yi took it, he also struck in a Primordial Spirit imprint to collect it. Afterwards, he discovered that the five spaces inside the Red Gold Five Elements Bracelet were more than ten times larger than before, and inside it seemed to have mountains and rivers, as if it were a small world of its own.

Even more living things could survive inside it.

"Tai Yi, are there any other Dao tools that need to be refined?" Although Daoist Master Tiangong was a bit tired, he was still excited because he had never felt that refining Dao tools could be so easy and pleasant.

Li Yi now had the Red Chi Chi Jin Zi Yu Armor, the Red Gold Star-Shattering Spear, and the Red Gold Five Elements Bracelet—a full three top-grade Dao tools. His combat power had already surpassed what it was before by too much.

Although he still wanted to refine more, he could not neglect one thing for another.

Li Yi said: "This time, the Divine Wood Red Gold Furnace being a success is entirely due to the contributions of all the Seniors. Therefore, in the next few days, please refine a red-gold Dao tool for each of the other Seniors."

He was rewarding everyone.

The other dozen or so cultivators had long been impatient and their eyes were shining.

One might ask, who doesn't like a top-grade Dao tool refined from red gold? With such a Dao tool, one's strength could be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds.

But Li Yi did not want red-gold Dao tools to become rampant, so he first rewarded everyone with one. The Dao tools refined in the future would be controlled in his own hands, and then slowly gifted out.

If he fed these cultivators all at once, there would be nothing left to bestow upon them in the future.

Therefore, Daoist Master Tiangong, as well as the Divine Wood Red Gold Furnace, must be firmly grasped in his own hands, and of course, the red gold mine as well.
