Chapter 913: Refining the Seven Turns

Yan Buji has many Accumulation Devices on his body; his essential Accumulation Devices are just those few.

However, because Yan Buji has practiced the Essence Method, those essential Accumulation Devices instead lost their connection directly, for reasons unknown.

"But if I pour my Essence into an Accumulation Device, wouldn't it, like my body, be able to bear the Dao of Laws, equivalent to... oh no, it should be greater than the essential Accumulation Device."

Yan Buji thought for a while.

His current internal Essence power comes from that sole primordial Essence, meaning that even though his power is distributed across every Essence in his body, in fact only that one primordial Essence provides the power.

"But I cannot slice the primordial Essence; without the primordial Essence's boost, can the other Essences be placed in an Accumulation Device?"

Yan Buji pondered for long, then suddenly had an idea!

"Blood Refinement!"

His eyes lit up, and he began designing the Ascension Refinement of the Accumulation Device.

After two days, Yan Buji held the finished Accumulation Device blueprint and nodded.

"In that case it should work: using the Blood Refinement method, I will refine my vital blood into an Accumulation Device component, install it into my Accumulation Device, and adjust the position where my Dao of Laws is borne by triggering the blood component..."

Yan Buji smiled; this method is somewhat dangerous.

Because forging a part of himself into an Accumulation Device component is a technique he saw in ancient texts collected in Zhong Tian Zhi Yu; this method can maximally strengthen the link between a cultivator and his essential Accumulation Device, even an indispensable step for some growth Accumulation Devices.

But because the connection is too tight, it is a case of shared glory and shared loss, similar to the primordial treasure forged by ancient cultivators.

"However, blood‑refined Accumulation Devices are a very ancient forging method, yet they fit me, who has practiced the Essence Method, perfectly!"

Yan Buji, thinking this, began dismantling Accumulation Devices, completely destroying some unnecessary components, and instead took his own harvest to refine into Accumulation.

He first set up a formation, then used the formation to contain his Wenwu Fire to temper Yan Buji's vital blood staining the Accumulation Device component; this is the first step.

"The Blood Refinement method should also be a step inherited from ancient cultivators' treasure forging, though back then it was a relatively crude technique," Yan Buji thought.

Nowadays cultivators' Accumulation Devices bloom like myriad flowers, of all kinds; although Yan Buji has seen few, many people's Accumulation Devices reveal nothing from the outside, and those components are the true core.

The so‑called refining Essence, Qi, and Spirit into Accumulation, to some extent strengthens a cultivator's control over the Accumulation Device while also preventing the situation where, due to mind‑spirit linkage, a damaged Accumulation Device would cause severe injury to the cultivator.

Of course this does not mean all harm can be avoided; damage to essential Accumulation Devices still harms cultivators considerably, but it should not be as mutually glorious and ruinous as the primordial treasures of ancient cultivators.

After Yan Buji finished shaping the component stained with his vital blood, he began refining the blood.

Though the path is not the original one, the principle is similar.

"In this component, my vital blood remains active, and my divine thought can link to this component, making it effectively a part of my body," Yan Buji said, holding the refined blood component; because it is first the Ascended Sea Kun Hammer, the component's design is a rolling sleeve that fits over the grip.

Half a month later.

Yan Buji finally completed the Ascension of the Sea Kun Hammer!

The Seven‑turn Sea Kun Hammer turned entirely sea‑blue, as always square, shining with the brilliance of water‑law.

Yan Buji tried to employ the Essence Method, and indeed, through the blood component he shifted his Five Elements Dao of Laws into the Sea Kun Hammer, displaying multicolored radiance.

"Although the Sea Kun Hammer's essence is water, the Five Elements are familiar, its power has increased considerably," Yan Buji nodded satisfactorily.

The Seven‑turn Accumulation Device is temporarily enough for him; the remaining Celestial Material he still needs to Ascend other Accumulation Devices.

In the blink of an eye half a year passed.

Yan Buji's skill in Refining Art deepened, and he also refined the Rift Staff, Spirit‑Quelling Seal, Yan King Helm, Asura Armor, Abni Sword and other Accumulation Devices to Seven‑turn.

The Celestial Material resources he stored for so long were almost exhausted, but converting them into combat power he did not mind a bit.

Lin Qingli had long since awakened, knowing Yan Buji was boosting his strength; she wanted to leave quickly, but knew without Yan Buji she could not exit the Unending Desert, so she also cultivated in this nest.

Perhaps because of the previous battle, Lin Qingli actually broke through to the late stage of the Transforming God within just half a year, nearly the Refining Void stage!

After Yan Buji finished Ascending the Celestial Accumulation, he summoned Lin Qingli to discuss the next preparation.

"Senior, we must leave the Unending Desert as soon as possible," Lin Qingli sighed.

"Entering is easy, exiting is hard. These Ten Great Terrains are not so easy to get out of," Yan Buji shook his head, though he already had a plan in mind.

The spatial seals inside the Terrains are terrifying; even though Yan Buji has entered the Cosmic Dao, he cannot trigger the Heaven Gate Law to traverse out. Previously, when Yan Buji went to the Boundless Abyssal Trench he had to transfer at a Winter Ocean Dragon People base, showing why they are called the Ten Great Terrains.

To get out, one must either return the same way or find another exit.

"Then, senior, what should we do?"

"Can you contact your partners?" Yan Buji frowned and asked.

Lin Qingli shook her head: "Within the Terrains one cannot employ secret arts, and moreover the devouring sand of the Unending Desert will swallow magic!"

Fortunately the Scorpion Queen's nest contains abundant water‑type spiritual energy that can be transmuted; otherwise the two of them could not have stayed here for half a year.

Yan Buji did have many Spirit Pills prepared, but he hasn't studied Alchemy Technique for a long time, so he cannot forge Celestial Pills that would restore their strength.

Now, Yan Buji can only sustain his power by absorbing the Spiritual Stone's aura, and Lin Qingli also has her own means, but they cannot hide here forever.

"Since that's the case, we have to go outside for a walk," Yan Buji sighed.

This Unending Desert is far more dangerous than the Boundless Abyssal Trench; the latter is probably less chaotic because of the presence of the Heavenly Demon King, so fewer monsters run amok.

Yet in this Unending Desert, a terrifying monster could burst from beneath the yellow sand; these monsters are at least Refining Void level, proving the Unending Desert's danger does not progress in layers like the Abyssal Trench, and its peril could arrive at any time.

Fortunately Yan Buji also possesses the Fate Technique: Blazing Oil Cooking Secret, which can foretell danger in advance.

Adding the Fate Dao Mark obtained from previous weapon‑fortune refining, it supports their travel through the Unending Desert without major issues.

Thinking this, Yan Buji and Lin Qingli discussed and continued on the path of escape.
