CHAPTER 927: CHAPTER 698: DIVINE FURNACE (PART 2)

"The Daoqi Sect has truly crafted an incredible Dao Furnace. The opportunities in this world are exceedingly rich, with Red Gold and Divine Wood as materials, it seems an Enlightenment Artifact is about to be born."

The cultivators couldn’t help but express their admiration as they gazed afar.

They also envied Tian Gong Taoist’s fortune, able to forge such a Supreme Treasure in his lifetime.

At this moment.

Li Yi ascended into the air, bursting out of the City Lord Mansion. He stood upon a Xiangyun, and also witnessed the anomaly in the sky above Tian Gong Taoist’s abode.

"Has the Dao Furnace been forged?"

He felt inexplicably excited inside.

Once the Dao Furnace is completed, the Red Gold Divine Soldier will continue to be produced; at that time, with a piece for everyone, where in the world couldn’t one venture?

In the past, why were Dao Artifacts in the Cultivation World so precious? The difficulty in crafting was one reason; more importantly, it was the scarcity of materials. Dao Artifacts have extremely high material demands, and many cultivators spend their entire lives unable to gather the materials required for one Dao Artifact.

This is because the Cultivation World has flourished for too long, the foundation of a realm almost completely exhausted, with no natural treasures to excavate.

But the Barbaric World is different. Here, resources are abundant, enough to sustain Li Yi and the others’ lavish use.

As everyone looked forward in anticipation.

Suddenly.

A mountain peak in the range was forcibly blasted open by a majestic force. A Divine Furnace emanating endless brilliance, accompanied by golden flames, leaped out from the mountain.

It hovered above the sky, absorbing spiritual energy from all directions.

The furnace made of Red Gold suddenly appeared with countless golden patterns, intertwining like a dense array with the immeasurable might of Gods and Ghosts.

As nature’s spiritual energy gathered, the golden array was activated, and a burst of golden fire rose impossibly.

Once this golden fire emerged, the entire Red Gold Mountain seemed to be enveloped by a grand sun, with temperatures instantly soaring, especially fearsome around the Divine Wood Red Gold Furnace, where the mountainside began to melt.

If one were to approach this golden flame, even Red Gold would be melted.

The reason the Dao Furnace crafted from Red Gold wasn’t damaged is because Tian Gong Taoist supplemented it with branches from the Divine Wood.

The Dao Fire erupted from the Divine Wood leaves can’t destroy the Divine Wood branches because both share the same origin; only thus can the Dao Furnace be successfully forged, otherwise if only Red Gold were used, once the Dao Fire ignites, the Dao Furnace would immediately fail from the extreme heat and collapse.

As nature’s spiritual energy gathered more and more, the golden fire within the Dao Furnace burned increasingly intensely, even as the golden flames leapt from the furnace, they didn’t damage it.

And Tian Gong Taoist, witnessing this scene, was euphoric with joy.

"It’s done, the Divine Wood Red Gold Furnace has been successfully forged." He saw the Dao Fire ignite smoothly, and the Dao Furnace could withstand the burning of this golden flame, letting out a deep breath of relief inside.

Then Tian Gong Taoist hurriedly formed a spell, controlling the array within the Divine Wood Red Gold, managing the absorption of nature’s spiritual energy by the Dao Furnace.

Without the support of nature’s spiritual energy, the surging golden flames that had already scattered began to rapidly contract, continuously shrinking.

In just a brief moment, a mass of golden fire stabilized, burning inside the Divine Wood Red Gold Furnace.

And with the isolation of the Divine Furnace, the surrounding high temperatures began to swiftly dissipate, a refreshing breath once again surged forth, causing everyone to involuntarily reveal a slight smile.

"This Immortal Artifact is a success." Li Yi hurriedly flew over at the first opportunity.

He scrutinized the Divine Furnace; upon seeing the golden fire within, he couldn’t help but be startled. This was a Divine Flame capable of melting Red Gold, and anyone present who came into contact with it would immediately be incinerated.

Thus, this Divine Furnace not only could be used to forge Red Gold Dao Artifacts, it was also a remarkably terrifying weapon.

Imagine, if during battle this Divine Furnace’s power erupted and poured forth the golden flames inside, who could withstand it?

Or if the lid of the Divine Furnace fell, if the enemy was consumed inside the furnace, how could they survive?

"Taiyi, I have not failed the mission, this Divine Wood Red Gold Furnace has been successfully forged." Tian Gong Taoist, though covered in grime, couldn’t hide his internal excitement.

"Thank you, Elder, with this divine object our future holds promise." Li Yi solemnly bowed to him.

Tian Gong Taoist laughed, "You are too kind, the old Daoist merely did what little he could. Without such Divine Materials, I certainly couldn’t have forged an Enlightenment Artifact. However, though the Divine Wood Red Gold Furnace is complete, the Artifact Spirit still needs time to nurture. Once the Artifact Spirit emerges, Dao Artifacts can be forged without the old Daoist’s control; the Artifact Spirit will be able to manage the Divine Furnace to forge Dao Artifacts."

Saying this, he was filled with pride.

Because he had imprinted all of the Daoqi Sect’s Grand Arrays into the Divine Furnace. Just requiring the Artifact Spirit to awaken, the Dao Furnace would automatically imbue various Grand Arrays into the items forged, making them automatically transform into Dao Artifacts.

Li Yi wasn’t concerned with these matters, he directly asked, "Can Red Gold Dao Artifacts be forged now?"

"Of course, there’s no problem." Tian Gong Taoist confidently replied, "Taiyi, would you like to try?"

Li Yi handed over the damaged Shattered Star Long Spear, "This Dao Artifact is damaged; if more Red Gold is added to reforge, can it surpass its previous state?"

Tian Gong Taoist immediately accepted the Shattered Star Long Spear, then with a wave of his hand, retrieved several large blocks of Red Gold from his abode, subsequently placing them into the Divine Wood Red Gold Furnace right in front of him.
