Everyone nodded, but no one spoke. They had actually conducted all sorts of experiments, but they had not yet found a way to deal with the power of arrogance. So they were now having a real headache. This power of arrogance was indeed very difficult to deal with. They had never encountered such a strong power before.

Zhang Hongliang said in a deep voice, "Young Master wanted to use the power of faith to break the power of arrogance, but we don't have the power of faith to use. We do have Buddhist power, but we don't have a power as pure as Zhao Hai's. So I think the first thing we need to do now is to find or create a power as pure as the power of arrogance. Only in this way can we possibly break the power of arrogance."

Wen Yuming nodded and said, "That's right, but how can we obtain such pure power? Compressing ordinary power probably won't work, right? That would require compressing too much power. We need to think of another way."

Zhang Hongliang said in a deep voice, "I've thought of a method, which is to purify Buddhist power. Our sect has a lot of Buddhist power. Why don't we try to purify it? We can just treat Buddhist power as an ordinary power and then purify it. What do you think?"

Upon hearing Zhang Hongliang's words, Wen Yuming was taken aback for a moment, and then he asked, "Tell me your specific thoughts?"

Zhang Hongliang said, "Here's what I'm thinking: we need to find an extremely pure power that can also counter the power of arrogance. When Young Master was fighting against the power of arrogance, he also used Buddhist power. If we purify Buddhist power, wouldn't that be equivalent to solving two types of power at once? Buddhist power actually contains the power of faith. If we purify Buddhist power, then the power of faith will also be purified. So maybe it can really be used to deal with the power of arrogance."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuming's eyes lit up, and he said, "Your idea is not bad, but how do we purify the Buddhist power? Ordinary purification arrays cannot purify the Buddhist power."

Zhang Hongliang said, "I have a preliminary idea. I think we should use the principle of a steam pressurization chamber to pressurize the Buddhist power. However, this would require very high-quality materials. So, my idea is that we could utilize both divine fire and divine light, and then use the principle of a pressurization chamber to pressurize the Buddhist power comprehensively. This way, we might be able to obtain a purer Buddhist power."

Wen Yuming nodded and said, "This method is not bad, we can try it. Are there any other methods?"

Another elder spoke up, "I think we can also try Endless Lightning. Endless Lightning has been providing us with energy in the Yin-Yang Lightning Pool, but we also need to be aware that Endless Lightning and the Power of Pride have something in common, which is that they seem to never disappear. Would it be better if we used Endless Lightning to deal with the Power of Pride? However, the strength of Endless Lightning doesn't seem to be enough. I think it needs to be compressed and purified."

Wen Yuming nodded and then said, "Endless Lightning is indeed a good choice, but how to purify it is a problem. Lightning is already very powerful, so purifying it is too difficult. Do you have any ideas?"

The elder spoke up, "Could we use a weapon-refining method to purify the Endless Lightning? But I plan to use a water-refining method to purify it."

Wen Yuming was taken aback, then he asked, "Water refining method? How do you use that? You want to purify a kind of energy, how does the water refining method purify energy?"

The elder said, "I plan to use divine light to form a river of light, and then put the endless lightning into this river of light, so that the power in the river of light can wash away the endless lightning and see if we can purify it."

Wen Yuming thought for a moment, then said, "Let's give it a try. The two of you start experimenting at the same time and see which method succeeds. Remember, you must be fast."

Zhang Hongliang and the others all responded, and then they went to begin their experiments. Zhang Hongliang returned to his laboratory and immediately started the experiment. He first took out a sufficient amount of Buddhist power, and then began to refine it with divine fire and divine light to see if he could purify it. He succeeded halfway. Divine fire could purify Buddhist power, but divine light could not. Moreover, Zhang Hongliang also discovered that the Buddhist power could be purified once each time it passed through a divine fire, and at the same time, the Buddhist power would also be imbued with the characteristics of this divine fire. These characteristics of the divine fire were perfectly integrated into the Buddhist power, making it even more powerful, but it was still far from reaching the level of Arrogant Divine Power.

Zhang Hongliang immediately used divine fire to further refine the Buddhist power until the divine fire had no effect on it. Only then did he try using a pressurization chamber to see if he could further compress the Buddhist power. However, when he reached this step, a problem arose. While compressing the Buddhist power using the pressurization chamber did indeed make it purer, it also revealed a problem: the Buddhist power had turned into a solid, and a very solid one at that. This power was completely unusable, and Zhang Hongliang couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Another elder's experiment was also very successful. He actually created a river of light with divine light, and then he threw endless lightning into it. When the endless lightning entered the river of light, it initially shrank, but then it seemed to disappear. This greatly surprised the elder. He immediately put in more endless lightning, and these lightning bolts also seemed to disappear. Just when he thought he had failed, a very subtle and completely different lightning bolt appeared in the river of light. Then the lightning bolt began to multiply from one to two, from two to four, and slowly more and more lightning bolts appeared. Moreover, these fine lightning bolts were very solid. Although they could not compare with the power of the arrogant god, they were already quite good. In the end, the entire river of light actually became a river of lightning. All the energy in the river of light was transformed into lightning energy, and this lightning energy also contained the energy of various divine lights, which was very magical.

However, this lightning energy was still not as pure as the power of arrogance. The elder helplessly reported this situation to Wen Yuming, who immediately asked him to try the pressurization method to compress the lightning and see if he could create purer lightning energy.

The elder immediately tried it, and he actually succeeded. The compressed lightning energy was almost as pure as the power of arrogance. However, this also caused a problem: this lightning energy was very unstable. It could explode with the slightest vibration, and the explosion was extremely powerful. The elder who conducted the experiment was killed, and many people in the Divine Mechanism Hall were also killed. Fortunately, they were resurrected immediately, so their experiment was considered a success.

Success was achieved, but this lightning energy could not be used, just like Zhang Hongliang's experiment with Buddhist power. Zhang Hongliang's experiment with Buddhist power was also considered a success, because the purity of the compressed Buddhist power could be compared with that of the arrogant divine power, but it became solid and very stable, so it could not be used.

After listening to the two men's words, Wen Yuming immediately gathered all the elders of the Divine Mechanism Hall and reported the results of their experiment to everyone. Finally, he looked at everyone and said, "Although we have now produced two kinds of energy that can be compared with the power of arrogance in terms of purity, neither of them is useful. Does anyone have any other ideas? If so, please share them. If not, then we should think of another way."

Everyone frowned as they pondered this matter. After a while, an elder suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He looked at Wen Yuming and said, "Hall Master, I do have a plan, but I don't know if it's feasible."

"What method? Tell me quickly," Wen Yuming said, looking at the man curiously.

The man responded and then immediately said, "Master, it's like this: the Buddhist power that Old Zhang created is too stable and has become solid, while the energy that Old Ye created is too unstable and unusable. So, could we combine these two powers? We can use Buddhist power as a shell and then add lightning power inside. In this way, the Buddhist power will encapsulate the lightning power. When we use it, we can detonate the lightning power, and this thing will explode like a lightning bead. This might be effective."

Upon hearing his words, everyone was stunned, and then their expressions changed. They hadn't actually thought of the method the elder had proposed. As for what the Thunder Pearl he mentioned was, everyone knew that it was actually a one-time use magical artifact with a strong explosive power. If a Thunder Pearl were to be made using Buddhist power as the shell and lightning power as the core, it was hard to say how powerful it would be. Even a kingdom-level expert might not be able to withstand such a Thunder Pearl.

Wen Yuming's eyes lit up and he said, "That's a good idea, we can give it a try." Zhang Hongliang and Elder Ye also nodded at the same time. They were both excited and couldn't wait to conduct the experiment.

Seeing their expressions, Wen Yuming knew they couldn't sit still any longer, so he immediately said, "Alright, let's all try it now." The group all stood up, turned around, and walked out. This time, Zhang Hongliang and Elder Ye were conducting the experiment together. Zhang Hongliang used Buddhist power to make the shell, while Elder Ye used lightning power to make the core, and then they put the two energies together.

Because of their previous experience, they were extremely careful during the experiment. They even used Xiaoqianjixing to compress the energy and perform the operation, instead of themselves. They did this because they were worried that if the lightning force were to explode, it wouldn't affect them. They had to ensure their own safety.

The first experiment failed; the lightning force exploded before it could even be placed into the Buddhist power, instantly destroying a small Thousand Machine Star. They immediately began the second experiment. This time, they successfully placed the lightning force into the shell made of Buddhist power, but no matter how they moved the shell, the lightning force inside wouldn't explode. This greatly disappointed Zhang Hongliang and his team. They immediately began to investigate, trying to figure out why it wasn't exploding. (End of Chapter)
