The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 399 Ninth-Rank Elder

If the construction drawings are fine, then get started; if there are problems, then rework them.

We can always manage to take care of things by causing trouble with this Optimus Prime.

Wang Wu was actually quite nervous, so he comforted himself by saying, "It's okay, it's just a game!"

Next, he wrote down the construction drawings and began a long, day-and-night construction operation with the associated iron essence.

Actually, it wasn't that complicated. The accompanying iron essence was too useful; it was sharp and hard, just like a high-precision lathe with very, very small errors. It fought for three days and three nights, and even when Wang Wu advised it to rest, it refused.

Finally, the entire Xuan Tie Sky Pillar was hollowed out from beginning to end.

Yes, except for the outer layer, which cannot be moved because it is engraved with the Ninefold Calamity Fire Array, the rest of the interior has been drilled with fine, neat, continuous, and uniform holes.

It is like a work of art.

The four clowns and the accompanying iron spirit made great contributions in this battle.

The latter lay down and pretended to be dead.

Wang Wu had no time to comfort it and began the most important step, which was the internal forging method. This step didn't even require the accompanying iron essence, because it was an upgrade, not a repair.

now,

Wang Wu first blocked all the external openings, leaving only one. Then, he transformed into a tiny person the size of a soybean, stood in the opening with a diameter of only one centimeter, and began to inject crimson flame spiritual energy into it. A large amount of crimson flame spiritual energy flowed directly to the bottom through those precisely calculated openings.

In less than three seconds, the hole was full and could no longer be filled with crimson flame spiritual energy.

At this moment, Wang Wu took out the refined black iron and used his natal demon weapon to cut it continuously, as if chopping dumpling filling, into small pieces, which he then sprinkled into the holes.

This process is unaffected by the infusion of crimson flame spiritual energy.

This is not comparable to the story of the crow and the pitcher.

Because water and stone are incompatible.

However, such a large amount of crimson flame spiritual energy will directly melt the black iron fragments into molten iron when it encounters them!
This sounds like a bit unnecessary.

That's not actually the case.

Because this is only the first stage.

A moment later, when Wang Wu threw in more fragments of black iron, but the crimson flame spiritual energy could not melt them, it meant that the crimson flame spiritual energy inside the Sky Pillar had been almost completely consumed.

Look, the space has reappeared.

So he continued to pour crimson spiritual energy into it.

Unsurprisingly, the amount of crimson spiritual energy injected this time was 20% less than the last time.

But that's not a problem at all.

Wang Wu decisively began to slowly and systematically perform pressurized injection.

Yes, pressurize!

This step is quite easy to do.

Because Optimus Prime is intact overall, his outer shell is intact, and the holes drilled inside are evenly stressed and heated due to the calculations of the four clowns.

In other words, no matter how much the pressure of the crimson flame spiritual energy inside is increased, the overall bearing capacity of Optimus Prime will not decrease much as a result.

In fact, because of the existence of those holes, the pressure brought about by this internal pressurization is effectively and evenly distributed.

These pressures don't burst through the outer shell all at once, but rather apply pressure evenly, pressurizing the molten black iron and the remaining internal structure of Optimus Prime.

This is the true essence of Wang Wu's internal forging method.

In other words, he only needs to pump air from one end to apply pressure evenly and comprehensively to the entire Optimus Prime.

Instead of applying pressure to just one point.

This has a completely different meaning.

If these holes aren't drilled inside, even if Wang Wu transforms into a giant bear over 3,000 meters tall, unleashes all his power, and uses the Optimus Prime as an ear pick to wreak havoc, the force will still only act on the outside.

The external Nine Heavens Formation is precisely the one that cannot be destroyed.

Wang Wu didn't have enough funds to buy them, nor did he have enough connections to apply for top-tier supplies.

He can only do this.

Soon, when Wang Wu continued to increase the pressure inward by 20%, he stopped. He first used his level 18 spiritual talent to observe the details, and at the same time transmitted the complete data to the four clowns so that they could make real-time calculations and make subtle adjustments.

Currently, the pressure in the hollow area inside Optimus Prime is maintained quite evenly with that in the solid area.

Then continue to add the black iron fragments, letting them react with the crimson flame spiritual energy. While consuming the crimson flame spiritual energy, the black iron fragments will also be burned into molten iron.

When the crimson flame spiritual energy inside is almost depleted, continue to the next round.

Since the pressure increases by 20% each round, it will be evenly transmitted to every section. Furthermore, because the fragments of the Xuan Iron have all turned into a liquid state, they are even easier to conduct. From top to bottom, there is no situation where the pressure is greater closer to Wang Wu; even at the very bottom of Optimus Prime, the pressure is uniform.

This is why he wanted to work on liquid pyrite, as solid pyrite is not as flexible.

Furthermore, as this pressure continues, the liquid iron itself will accumulate a large amount of force, and it will itself become a pressurized liquid forging hammer, thus forming the second stage of the internal forging method.

At this time, Wang Wu could not enter, nor could the accompanying iron essence. They had to rely on their level 18 spiritual talent to monitor, observe, and sense every place to obtain detailed and accurate data, which would then be used by the four clowns for real-time deduction.

Anyway, this time the four clowns were quiet and convinced of their defeat.

Because internal forging is indeed effective.

And the effect is very good.

They're the kind of people who have the means to do so and wouldn't consider them worthwhile.

But those who lack the means can still make do!
Time passed slowly. A day later, Wang Wu had increased the pressure inside Optimus Prime to 300%, and the amount of black iron fragments he had put in was more than five times what he had previously excavated.

The encouraging effect has finally appeared.

The quality of this Optimus Prime has been improved overall, and this internal improvement was achieved without the outer shell being deformed or damaged.

"Friendly reminder: You invested a total of ten million points of Crimson Flame Spiritual Energy and one-twentieth of the total reserve of Mysterious Iron in this internal forging method. Although you have successfully upgraded the quality of this Sky Pillar to the seventh grade of Heaven, in reality, this Sky Pillar does not belong to you."

"And next, you actually can't upgrade all 108 Optimus Primes; you can only upgrade a maximum of 20."

"It seems you're making a deal that's destined to bankrupt you. We can't understand it, but we wish you all the best."

"In any case, the internal forging method you created has opened the eyes of us old guys."

-

The four clowns gave in and were impressed.

Wang Wu smiled slightly, too lazy to pay attention to them. In reality, did he gain nothing?
how can that be possible!
At this moment, as he connected to the Ninefold Tribulation Fire Array, causing the entire Optimus Prime to blaze once again, the Hidden Origin Bell above successfully sensed this and connected with the Optimus Prime. At this instant, melodious bell sounds rang out from inside the Hidden Origin Bell.

Connection successful.

Immediately afterwards, the Hidden Origin Jade Talisman vibrated slightly, and a five-colored ray of light flew out from the Hidden Origin Bell, entered it, and then radiated onto Wang Wu.

For a fleeting moment, Wang Wu even felt that his connection with the Hidden Origin Bell had deepened—no, his compatibility had improved.

Then, lines of information appeared on the jade talisman.

"Unbelievable! As the acting leader, you actually took the initiative to upgrade a pillar of heaven without any conditions. You significantly improved the load-bearing capacity of the Hidden Origin Bell. You received a reward of 10,000 strands of human five elements, and you also received the same amount of Hidden Origin Contribution Points from the Hidden Origin Society."

"This means that the Hidden Origin Contribution Points are a manifestation of the Hidden Origin Society's core philosophy and an essential path to becoming an elder and a core member of the Hidden Origin Society."

"Congratulations, your compatibility with this Hidden Origin Bell has increased even further!"

"If you want to continue upgrading Optimus Prime, please upgrade it in the Wind-Fire method. Only in this way can the Hidden Origin Bell achieve a better load-bearing capacity."

-

That's the biggest gain!
Without further ado, Wang Wu immediately selected a pillar inscribed with the Three Realms Spirit Wind Array according to the location. Using the same method, he first disconnected the connection, then drilled holes, and then injected crimson flame spiritual energy to pressurize it. The entire process had become extremely skillful.

In this way, it takes about five days to upgrade one.

In this way, after more than a hundred days, nearly four months, Wang Wu was penniless. He had exhausted all his spiritual energy, all his refined black iron, and even gave away the snacks made from his companion iron essence. At that time, he successfully upgraded twenty pillars to support the sky.

Ten pillars were inscribed with the Ninefold Calamity Fire Array.

The ten roots are inscribed with the Three Realms Spirit Wind Array.

The harvest was naturally extraordinary, with a total of 200,000 strands of human five elements entering the account, along with 200,000 points of hidden element contribution.

It was precisely because of these Hidden Yuan contributions that his status in the Hidden Yuan Society was successfully elevated once again.

"Your contribution to the Hidden Origin Society has reached the required level. Your actions have alarmed the headquarters of the Hidden Origin Society. According to the rules of the Hidden Origin Society, you have officially become a ninth-rank elder of the Hidden Origin Society!"

"From this day forward, you will become a core member of the Hidden Origin Society."

"You can purchase supplies at half price at the twelve branch altars of the Hidden Origin Society."

"You will receive a Hidden Origin Token. Based on this token, you can make one request to the Hidden Origin Society headquarters every three thousand years. As long as the Hidden Origin Society can fulfill your request and it does not violate the core rules of the Hidden Origin Society, the Hidden Origin Society headquarters will grant it."

"Based on your current performance and the compatibility between you and the Hidden Origin Bell, the Hidden Origin Society headquarters has temporarily decided to promote you to the second-in-command of the Dragon Head City branch, with authority second only to the chief administrator, and the authority to vote three times in favor and three times against."

"This means that the chief administrator has the authority to vote five times in favor and five times against."

"Friendly reminder: One of the basic requirements for appointing a branch leader of the Hidden Origin Society is that one must possess the strength of a Taiyi True Immortal. Although you have become a Ninth-Rank Elder, you are not capable of handling things independently."

"All other benefits are doubled based on the standard for a first-rank steward."

"Friendly reminder: the new leader will arrive in three days. Please be prepared to welcome him."

"Congratulations, your compatibility with this Hidden Origin Bell has increased. Theoretically, you can now move freely within a radius of 150,000 miles. The Hidden Origin Bell will provide you with the most comprehensive and all-around protection, a privilege that even the new head of the organization cannot enjoy."
