Although these one hundred magical artifacts have been created, and their arrangement and activation methods are not complicated, the underlying principles remain unknown.
For these masters of craftsmanship, their true purpose lies in understanding the underlying principles.
Xiao Wenbing laughed and said, "I understand what you mean, senior."
Having said that, he arrived at the source of the light screen, pointed to the first magical artifact, and began the great speech that would resonate throughout the ages and be forever recorded in history in the cultivation world.
From the first ritual implement to the last, he spoke with confidence, his knowledge accumulated over time, and his eloquence flowed freely.
Like a surging river, flowing endlessly; like the Yellow River bursting its banks, unstoppable once it begins.
The principles he expounded were both profound and easy to understand and implement, yet they were also ingenious, flexible, and always left people amazed.
The old Taoist priests listened intently, remembered it all, and were completely captivated, as if in a dream.
Xiao Wenbing walked around once, stood with his hands behind his back, and smiled nonchalantly.
After a long silence, HP sighed and finally said, "Fellow Daoist's abilities are beyond our reach."
In fact, the principles that Xiao Wenbing spoke of were certainly not things he had come to understand on his own; they were all things that the Mirror God had come up with through painstaking effort.
In this realm, although these people cannot use immortal spiritual energy, it does not mean that they cannot use the mysterious powers of heaven and earth.
Just as you can reach a destination by plane or train, you can also reach it by walking.
Although their efficiency cannot be compared, as long as you persevere, you can achieve the same result.
The aura of immortals is like a high-speed mode of transportation, allowing you to reach your destination quickly and easily.
However, without the spiritual energy of immortals, everything depends on the two legs beneath our feet.
These cultivators are like penniless wanderers who can't afford plane or train tickets to their destination, so they have no choice but to travel thousands of miles on foot.
The problem is that they don't know the direction of their destination. If they go even slightly astray on the road ahead, they will never have the chance to reach it.
This is why innovation is so difficult. It's not easy for a website to improve upon what its predecessors have built. Besides extensive knowledge and strong capabilities, luck is also indispensable.
As for the Mirror God, with its vast knowledge and experience, it's like a satellite probe that has already locked onto the correct direction. No matter where the starting point is, as long as you follow its guidance, you will definitely be able to reach the destination.
Therefore, after listening to Xiao Wenbing's eloquent discourse, the old Taoists realized that the reasoning behind it was actually quite simple. They were even more convinced and expressed their heartfelt admiration for Xiao Wenbing, who was able to come up with such a theory.
Xiao Wenbing accepted the praise from everyone without hesitation. You should know that in order to get to where he is today, Xiao Wenbing followed the Mirror God to learn all kinds of knowledge every day. The hardships he endured were truly unknown to outsiders.
While all roads lead to Rome, not every road is easy to travel.
The shortest route is undoubtedly a straight line between two points, but there are too many obstacles on this route. Neither high mountains nor rivers are difficulties that Xiao Wenbing, who is only at the Golden Core stage, can overcome.
Therefore, the Mirror God could only choose the smoothest, but also the most winding and longest, road from among the thousands of roads.
The Mirror God had exhausted all its efforts on this path. However, it sadly discovered that even this path was quite difficult for Xiao Wenbing, who was only at the Golden Core stage and had limited knowledge.
In desperation, during this period, the Mirror God taught Xiao Wenbing these most basic knowledge every day, not expecting him to master them, but only hoping that he could memorize them and understand a few fixed variations.
Although the Mirror God's requirements were already as low as they could possibly be, the sheer volume of information involved was absolutely beyond the capacity of ordinary people to handle. For the past four months, Xiao Wenbing had been living a life of utter misery...
Moreover, with two women watching him intently from the sidelines in the hut, the presence of the Mirror God absolutely could not be exposed. He would pretend to be meditating each time, but in reality, he was taking the opportunity to communicate with the Mirror God.
Thus, the two women often found it strange that the more Xiao Wenbing meditated, the more tired he became, which was completely opposite to the energetic state of others after meditation.
Fortunately, the bitter days are finally over, and those days of great suffering, like Yang Naiwu's, are gone forever.
Amidst the admiring gazes of the old Taoist priests, Xiao Wenbing felt a strong sense of triumph.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao devised such a wonderful technique and generously shared it with us. We are truly unworthy of such a gift..." Old Daoist Hewlett exclaimed.
"What's the big deal? I came up with this method and originally intended to promote it widely. Ideally, everyone would have such a magical artifact." Xiao Wenbing said solemnly, "I have another request. I would like to ask all the seniors to promote this method widely and spread it throughout the cultivation world to fulfill my wish."
HP and the others were initially taken aback, but then they were all deeply moved.
"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, once this matter is settled, we will certainly travel the world and spread this method throughout the cultivation realm to help you accomplish this immeasurable merit," HP said solemnly.
The other experienced Taoist priests unanimously agreed.
The world is full of wonders. Some natural treasures have the effect of calming the mind and stabilizing the spirit. Wearing them can prevent the invasion of inner demons, just like the effect of a calming house, but a hundred times more convenient.
However, such rare and precious materials are extremely scarce. To have one for everyone is wishful thinking. Even in Tianding Star, the holy land of craftsmanship, they are absolutely unique.
As for the Tranquil Mind House built by Xiao Wenbing, although it is not very convenient, any cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage can definitely collect the materials and forge one in one or two hundred years.
Therefore, once Xiao Wenbing reveals this method to the world, it will be a tremendous boon to all cultivators in this realm, benefiting countless people. The scourge of inner demons may even be eradicated from this point on.
The magnitude of his merit is such that, while it may not be said that there will be no one like him in the future, it is certainly unprecedented.
Being able to add one's name to this book of merit is also a matter of bringing glory to one's family, and it has a positive and benevolent aspect to one's own karmic retribution. That's why these old Taoists volunteered one by one to agree.
Xiao Wenbing smiled, finally relieved. Once these people spread the word, it would be a pipe dream for him not to become famous throughout the land.
And as their fame soars, the biggest beneficiary will be their place of origin, the great Earth.
He once said that he wanted to make the word "Earth" famous again in the cultivation world.
At this moment, he is taking firm steps, steadily moving towards this goal...
"Thump...thump...thump..."
The sound of the three jade cauldrons colliding resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
Master Huipu exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and delight, "The sect leader has emerged from seclusion!"
Volume 4, The Divine Artifacts, Chapter 169: The Knot of Unity (Part 1)
------------------------
Slowly, a faint phantom gradually took shape in his hand. As spiritual energy gathered, the faint phantom became increasingly solid and substantial.
This is Xiao Wenbing's special ability, the superpower that the Mirror God calls divine power.
It is precisely because of this amazing ability that Xiao Wenbing has achieved his brilliant success today.
Now, this amazing ability will once again play its special role.
The shadow transformed from transparent to inflected, then from black and white to color, as more and more spiritual energy transformed into divine power, and the magical artifact in his hand was about to solidify...
However, Xiao Wenbing's good luck had clearly come to an end, because at that moment, the Mirror God's urgent call came to his mind: "Warning, a creature is rapidly approaching."
Xiao Wenbing's expression changed. He had two enormous secrets that he could not reveal even a fraction of, even to his closest relatives. One was the existence of the Mirror God, and the other was the divine power he was currently displaying, capable of creating all things. Although this divine power had always been criticized by the Mirror God as a false divine power, once it became useful, he didn't care whether it was false or not.
His mind raced as he quickly assessed the time required for the magical artifact to take shape, and in that brief moment, he had already calculated it.
Ten seconds, just ten seconds will be enough. After ten seconds, he will be able to create this magical artifact. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the person who came would give him these short ten seconds.
However, his hopes were quickly dashed, as the Mirror God's cold, emotionless voice continued to echo in his mind: "Target rapidly approaching, estimated to reach the quiet room within five seconds. Four...three...two..."
Xiao Wenbing let out a long, dejected sigh. "The times are truly against me." He dejectedly withdrew his spiritual power, and the magical artifact that was about to be completed swayed in the space before disappearing instantly.
He stared angrily at the still rippling void in his hand, a deep resentment rising within him towards the newcomer. Why did they come so soon? Why now? Was this premeditated?
Xiao Wenbing stood up, forcibly suppressing his displeasure, and forced a passable smile onto his face. Although he was unhappy, he was no longer a child, and he couldn't be too blunt about his emotions.
His gaze was fixed on the door of the quiet room, awaiting the arrival of the "distinguished guest".
One second... two seconds... three seconds...
Quietly, there was nothing unusual about the door, and there was no sound.
Xiao Wenbing was greatly surprised. What was going on? Did the newcomer want to play hide-and-seek with him?
After a moment of contemplation, he focused his divine sense and scanned the area outside the door, only to be deeply shocked. In his perception, there was no one outside the door at all.
"Mirror God. Where is he?" Xiao Wenbing asked in surprise.
However, he was still somewhat self-aware, knowing that his spiritual perception was far inferior to that of the Mirror God, so he spoke very politely and not in a questioning tone.
"It's right outside the door."
Are you sure?
"I'm sure," Mirror God assured him confidently.
Xiao Wenbing focused all his divine sense a second time. However, the result was equally disappointing; the cultivation level of the person outside was clearly not at his level. No matter how he probed, he sensed nothing.
He had absolute faith in the Mirror God. Although the spirit of this artifact was sometimes a bit long-winded, its spiritual perception and profound knowledge far surpassed his own in every aspect.
Intelligent beings from the realm of gods truly possess captivating abilities.
Since it said there were people outside the door, then there must be.
Xiao Wenbing moved swiftly, flashing to the door and grabbing the handle with lightning speed, pulling it open abruptly.
"call……"
He looked around, but was disappointed to find that perhaps he was too slow, or perhaps the other person was too fast. In any case, he still couldn't see anything suspicious.
"Sigh..." He cursed inwardly. What kind of bastard would be so bored as to steal something, and would he be looking for a beauty of Feng Baiyi's caliber?
He was inwardly complaining and shaking his head when he suddenly caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye.
From the door panel, a creature with a green head and large eyes slowly flew up. This thing was not very big, but its shape was somewhat ferocious. It was flapping its small wings and making a faint "buzzing" sound as it rushed towards Xiao Wenbing.
Xiao Wenbing scanned it with his divine sense and was greatly alarmed. Although this thing was small, it had a faint trace of spiritual energy fluctuations. He immediately became fully alert, as he had never seen anything like it before.
Although his spiritual senses couldn't detect any particular offensive power from this guy, since he dared to launch an attack, he would naturally retaliate with all his might.
He suddenly shouted, flicked his finger, and a sharp burst of energy shot out like lightning. The powerful force instantly knocked the object to the ground.
Xiao Wenbing opened his mouth, wondering what was going on. How could this little thing be so useless? However, the thing's body was quite resilient; it had managed to maintain its intact body after taking his blow.
In a flash, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator appeared before him. The cultivator glanced around but didn't notice anything amiss. He asked, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, is there something wrong?"
Xiao Wenbing laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just noticed something while I was practicing my internal energy." As he spoke, he pointed to the little guy on the ground.
"Ah, these are jade bees, which can be found everywhere on Tianding Star. Fellow Daoist Xiao, there's no need to be surprised."
"Bifeng?" Xiao Wenbing's expression turned somewhat strange. "Is this little thing any threat?"
"No, they are docile and pose no threat to fellow cultivators above the Core Formation stage."
Xiao Wenbing thanked the man and, under the pretext of resting, went into the quiet room.
Yesterday at noon, Xiao Wenbing displayed his divine power and crafted a simplified version of the Ancestral Master's House. Subsequently, Hui Zhe, the current sect leader of the Jade Cauldron Sect, who had been in seclusion for a hundred years, finally emerged from seclusion.
