Chapter 87: The Strength of This Magic Treasure Is a Bit Over the Limit!

Time slipped away silently,

At first it was only a brief week, two weeks, three weeks at most,

But as the days passed one by one,

In the blink of an eye a full month had gone by. During this long month,

The cubes in the Qian Kun Zao Hua Cauldron were gradually linked together by Ye Xiuxiu with skill,

Eventually it formed a huge, dazzlingly multicolored and densely packed cube.

If examined closely, one can see that this large cube is actually composed of nine slightly smaller cubes;

Looking further,

one would be amazed to find that each small cube is likewise assembled from another nine even smaller cubes.

Thus, layer upon layer nested, looping repeatedly,

until at the very core the tiniest cube finally ends.

Ye Xiuxiu's thin garment had by now been thoroughly soaked by the continuously seeping sweat,

damp and clinging to her delicate body.

Yet, despite this disheveled state,

her clear, otherworldly face was nonetheless brimming with an uncontrollable excitement.

"It took a full thirty‑one days!"

She murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly with excitement,

"Finally managed to forge this storage Magic Treasure!"

After enduring long and arduous time,

this moment's arrival undoubtedly made her heart surge and her joy run wild.

But when Ye Xiuxiu fixed her gaze on the storage Magic Treasure she had forged with her own hands,

a trace of regret and helplessness rose in her heart.

Although the final product had indeed come into being,

its size was nevertheless excessively massive, occupying as much as a quarter of a room.

Thus, carrying it around became extremely inconvenient. Yet even so,

this was already the best result Ye Xiuxiu could achieve by exhausting all her effort.

If she were to press further, she would likely meet only failure.

After all, this forging for Ye Xiuxiu,

its level of challenge far exceeded imagination.

"Fortunately, everything is still under control."

Ye Xiuxiu exhaled a long breath of stale air as if a weight had been lifted,

as her words fell,

the Qian Kun Zao Hua Cauldron placed not far ahead of her suddenly quivered slightly,

and immediately a dazzling burst of seven‑colored light surged out of it.

The next moment, a "Bang!" thundered, and the colossal storage Magic Treasure, like an arrow released from a bow,

shot out of the Qian Kun Zao Hua Cauldron at astonishing speed,

and flew straight toward the outside of the house.

Because the interior space was limited, it could not accommodate this massive object,

so it was forced to rush outward in search of a place to settle.

Outside, the sunlight was bright and radiant, golden rays pouring down,

illuminating the surface of the speeding storage Magic Treasure,

making its already sparkling seven‑colored hue appear even more dazzling and splendid.

In an instant,

Ye Qingming and Ye Songzhi were as if struck by a petrification spell,

their gazes fixed straight on the object before them, completely entranced. Their eyes widened, faces full of astonishment,

almost simultaneously, they exclaimed in unison:

"A Deity Transformation Stage early‑stage Magic Treasure that stores spiritual Qi!"

At this moment, Ye Xiuxiu inside the room moved with practiced smoothness,

she lightly waved her hand,

and the Qian Kun Zao Hua Cauldron, emitting a mysterious glow, obediently flew into the storage bag in her hand like a well‑trained pet.

Then, she walked out of the room at an unhurried pace, her face radiating a confident and joyful smile.

Seeing Ye Xiuxiu appear, Ye Songzhi became so excited he could barely contain himself,

he immediately stepped forward, sparing no praise:

"Xiuxiu, you are truly amazing! You actually managed to forge this Magic Treasure successfully!"

Beside them, Ye Qingming was also unusually excited,

his two eyes glittered with blazing light, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

It should be known that forging a Deity Transformation Stage‑level Magic Treasure with Foundation Building cultivation is,

simply a world‑shaking, astonishing feat,

and if spread, the entire artifact‑crafting world would be profoundly shocked.

Ye Xiuxiu smiled and walked up to Ye Songzhi,

She began to introduce this miraculous storage magic cube to him in detail, speaking softly:

"Grandfather, don't get overly excited just yet,"

"It's a one-time use item,"

"However, once used, after the spiritual energy inside the Magic Treasure is exhausted, it will also be damaged."

"Moreover, the interior isn't a simple space structure but is composed of countless tiny compartments. Each use destroys one compartment; when all compartments are ruined, the Magic Treasure is completely scrapped."

Ye Songzhi nodded with a smile and spoke gently:

"It's fine, Xiuxiu, don't worry too much."

Then he paused briefly, his gaze firm, and continued:

"You should know that as long as we successfully obtain this first one, there will surely be a second, a third, and so on… So, grandfather, I've placed all my hopes on you!"

After saying these words, he gently patted Ye Xiuxiu's shoulder to encourage and comfort her.

Afterward,

Ye Songzhi then focused his attention on the Magic Treasure in his hand. He took a deep breath, mobilizing the spiritual energy within his body,

and carefully extended it toward the Magic Treasure.

As the spiritual energy gradually seeped into the Magic Treasure, his formerly calm expression grew solemn,

and the astonishment in his eyes intensified.

At first,

judging by its appearance, the Magic Treasure seemed to have only twenty-seven blocks capable of storing spiritual energy.

However, after careful probing he discovered that each seemingly simple block actually consisted of twenty-seven even smaller blocks!

Thus, like opening Pandora's box,

this nested structure kept repeating, seemingly without end.

After thorough investigation,

Ye Songzhi finally estimated roughly the number of energy‑storing blocks inside the Magic Treasure—at least over five hundred thousand!

Such an astonishing number left him dumbfounded, for a moment finding it hard to believe.

He widened his eyes and abruptly turned his head to look at Ye Xiuxiu,

his face full of shock, he asked: "Xiuxiu, are you really sure this Magic Treasure is merely a defective product of the early Deity Transformation Stage?"

At that moment, Ye Qingming, standing nearby, happened to hear the three words 'defective product' and couldn't help but frown slightly.

He instinctively turned his gaze toward the Magic Treasure that radiated dazzling golden light and shimmered with seven‑colored brilliance,

and thought to himself:

"How could such a splendid treasure be called a defective product?"

"What, then, should the things I painstakingly refined before be considered?"

"Could it really be as Xiuxiu said,"

"that they are nothing but worthless scrap?"

Thinking this, Ye Qingming felt a bitter pang in his heart.

What a gap!
