After the Skyfall

Chapter 865 Red Gold Artifact
On this day, in the sky above Shenmu City.

The three divine wood and gold furnaces were lit, their golden flames illuminating half the sky and radiating astonishing heat. The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in, and beams of precious light shone from within the three divine wood and gold furnaces.

The Celestial Craftsman sat to one side, manipulating three divine furnaces to forge three artifacts for achieving enlightenment.

And this wasn't the first time he'd done this.

Without him, only familiar with Seoul.

Having accumulated a wealth of experience in refining numerous crimson gold artifacts, the Celestial Craftsman has now become a true master craftsman, capable of establishing his own sect without any problem.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Li Yi has invested a lot of resources.

During this period, the gains were astonishing. The Celestial Craftsman built two more immortal warships, and because of the addition of divine wood, their defensive capabilities were even more amazing. Moreover, they could autonomously absorb and store the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even if the energy of the magical artifacts was exhausted, they could still operate for a very long time.

"Is this the artifact for achieving enlightenment?"

At this moment, Xiang Xiangzi held a pale golden sword, its spiritual energy fluctuating wildly and constantly radiating intense golden light. Simply getting close to it could harm ordinary cultivators, and only those with extraordinary supernatural powers could wield it.

“It’s even more powerful than the immortal artifacts of the Xuanxian Continent.” Her beautiful eyes sparkled. As a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Three Flowers Realm, this was the first time she had ever wielded a weapon meant for those who had attained the Dao.

Weapons of this caliber only exist in the Outer Heavens in the cultivation world.

Because the resources of the cultivation world were almost exhausted before the end of the Dharma.

"Xuan Yuezi, how do you think it compares to the Demon King's weapon, the Treasure Moon Disc, that you possess?" Xiang Xiangzi then asked.

“It’s even better than the Treasure Moon Disc.” Xuan Yuezi said, “I never expected that the Heavenly Craftsman Elder of the Dao Artifact Sect could actually refine a true Dao-establishing artifact. I don’t know if it’s because his skills are amazing or because this divine tree has boundless potential.”

After her initial reaction, she looked up at the magnificent, golden tree.

Adding divine wood to any Dao artifact during its crafting process will cause it to undergo an astonishing transformation, reaching a higher level.

Unfortunately, the people of this barbaric world don't know how to utilize it; otherwise, how could such a large divine tree have survived to this day? It would have been cut down long ago.

"The Dao-attaining artifact is not the limit of this world. Although the material of the divine wood is amazing, there are countless good materials in the wild world. The divine sword in the fairy's hand is not simple. It was refined with three hundred catties of red gold, as well as the bones of strange beasts, the essence of the earth, and the copper of the Western Mountain. It can be said that it was made by mixing the five elements, supplementing yin and yang, and was tempered day and night for eighty days.

At this moment, the Taoist Master Tiangong spoke up: "I was afraid that its power was too strong and uncontrollable, so I removed the spirit of the weapon. Otherwise, with the strength of the fairy maiden, it would be a question whether she could tame this divine sword."

"You old Taoist priest, are you looking down on this fairy maiden?" Xiang Xiangzi raised an eyebrow.

"That's not the case. I just didn't want any accidents to happen." The Heavenly Craftsman smiled. "This divine sword is very special. It is neither a Crimson Gold Dao Artifact, nor a Celestial Artifact, nor a Dao-Achieving Artifact. Therefore, I named it the Crimson Gold Divine Artifact based on the characteristics of this world. The Crimson Gold Divine Artifact is further divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower."

"What the fairy maiden holds is a low-grade crimson gold divine artifact."

"Only low-grade?" Xiang Xiangzi asked, "Then when will you be able to refine high-grade?"

"Refining a high-grade divine artifact? This old Daoist can't do that, but I'm somewhat confident I can refine a mid-grade crimson gold divine artifact. However, I'll need Taiyi's help, because according to my calculations, to refine a mid-grade divine artifact, you'll need to use a deity as material." The Heavenly Craftsman Daoist's eyes flickered as he said, "Using a deity as the main material, supplemented with various rare and precious ores, you can produce a mid-grade divine artifact. Such a weapon only needs to be swung once to unleash the power of a deity."

"You old Taoist priest are really crazy, actually trying to use a divine artifact to refine a weapon." Xiang Xiangzi's eyes widened immediately.

The Celestial Craftsman said, “Why not? The gods of this world are too powerful. Their physical bodies are the greatest weapons. If we can obtain the physical bodies of a god, we can make a powerful divine weapon with just a few modifications.”

"A god of one rank can forge a mid-grade crimson gold artifact. If it is a god of ten ranks, then it can definitely forge a high-grade crimson gold artifact. If you don't believe me, one day when the Great Yi kills a god of one rank, you can hand over the corpse to this old Taoist. This old Taoist will definitely surprise you."

As he spoke, an expectant look appeared on his face.

"Hey, old Taoist, this isn't the time to talk about these things. Are your three divine wood and gold furnaces alright? They look like they're about to explode." Xiang Xiangzi pointed at the three scorching furnaces in mid-air again.

"This is a sign that a new crimson gold artifact is about to be forged, not that the furnace is about to explode," the Celestial Craftsman said with a smile, stroking his beard.

He is now quite adept at refining low-grade crimson gold artifacts, and it is not difficult at all. He can even multitask.

really.

Just as he said, the next moment, three beams of light burst forth from the Divine Wood Crimson Gold Furnace and appeared in this world, their scorching heat accompanied by towering golden light shooting out in all directions.
The people of Shenmu City were already used to such strange phenomena; they had seen it far too many times in the past six months. The savvy merchants had long since figured out the root cause of the phenomenon.

Someone inside the city lord's mansion is forging a powerful divine weapon. Although many merchants have offered high prices to buy one, they have all been refused. Such a treasure is destined not to be left out in the open, otherwise it would cause considerable trouble.

soon.

The precious light in the sky dissipated, transforming into three crimson gold artifacts.

They are a suit of armor, a long spear, and a giant axe.

“Fairy Xuan Yuezi, please choose one. This is Taiyi’s order.” The Heavenly Craftsman said with a smile, “I will keep the remaining Crimson Gold Divine Artifacts and hand them over to Taiyi later.”

Xiang Xiangzi chose a divine sword before, and now it's Xuan Yuezi's turn.

"I'll choose this armor." Xuan Yuezi thought of the Demon King's weapon, the Moon Plate, so she chose a divine armor for herself.

The Celestial Craftsman nodded, waved his hand, and gave the armor to Xuan Yuezi. He then put away the other two crimson gold artifacts.

However, he did not stop after finishing this task, but continued to refine weapons.

His task was heavy and not easy at all.

Fortunately, several skilled cultivators assisted him and immediately delivered various refining materials, which were already prepared in advance, saving the Heavenly Craftsman a lot of time.

But by this time, Li Yi was no longer in the Wilderness World.

He felt that he had been in charge of the Crimson Gold Kingdom long enough, and that the rules had been established over the past six months, with everything running smoothly. Therefore, he boarded the Immortal Warship and directly opened the interdimensional gate to return to Earth.

Once it enters Earth's sky.

Li Yi sensed an evil aura permeating this world. He hadn't felt this before, but after becoming a god, he began to feel it.

It wasn't that this evil aura wasn't present before, but rather that I was too weak to sense it.

Is it a pollution problem?

Li Yi immediately recalled what Hua Qing's remnant soul had said inside the knife coin. Moreover, after a year of nurturing in the desolate world, the knife coin had recovered to about 70-80% and would be completely repaired soon.

However, Li Yi was not concerned about the pollution issue at the moment, but rather about the enormous changes that the Earth had undergone in the past year.

Because there was no powerful enemy invading.

So the Earth has been frantically recovering and rebuilding over the past year.

The power of technology and spiritual practice has made rebuilding cities extremely rapid, and the Earth has changed dramatically.

As Li Yi flew through the immortal warship, he saw that several cities had returned to their former glory, and cultivators were returning from other realms one after another. The situation on the verge of collapse on Earth had suddenly transformed into a great cultivation world.

Although humans are inherently evil, one has to admire their resilience at times, as they can rebuild their home even after it has been destroyed.

"If we can solve the pollution problem, that would be amazing," Li Yi thought to himself.

He frowned at that moment.

The evil aura emanating from heaven and earth made him feel extremely uncomfortable and created a strong sense of rejection towards himself as a god.

soon.

Li Yi's immortal warship arrived in Tianchang City.

Because of the large number of Earthlings who crossed over from all corners of the world to return, coupled with the establishment of the Daoist tradition, many Daoist masters and geniuses have emerged in Tianchang City. Of course, they also benefit from the protection of a large array.

After Li Yi entered the territory of Tianchang City, the feeling of rejection subsided considerably.

Because this place is isolated from polluted spiritual energy.
