Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 147 The War of Ceasefire

A giant sphere shimmering with seven-colored light appeared in the center of the group of six. Countless Daoist jade characters flickered on it, each representing a skill or craft from the primordial world.

Alchemy, weapon forging, formation, beast taming, body tempering... Amidst countless flashes of Dao light, the auras of Taiwei, Fuxi, Nuwa, Taishang, Yuanshi, and Lingbao all connected to this precious sphere.

Taiwei's divine sense merged into his mind, and he understood that the precious sphere in the center of the six of them was a magic weapon made by the Primordial Heavenly Lord, named the Celestial Measurement Sphere.

This precious sphere has no other supernatural powers, only an absolute isolation from the art of divination of celestial secrets. Even the most powerful beings in the primordial world cannot detect any flow of spiritual energy within the celestial sphere.

The six members of Taiwei can integrate their divine sense into the celestial sphere, and then randomly select a skill or craft from the celestial sphere to be used as the competition item.

With the Celestial Sphere, it was possible to prevent Taiwei and Yuanshi from cheating. Taiwei had already checked it, and the Celestial Sphere could indeed repel all external forces. Even Yuanshi Tianzun, who created the Celestial Sphere, could not refine this magical treasure.

Taiwei and Yuanshi are the same. The purple-gold Dao light and the golden-jade Dao light fall into the celestial sphere at the same time, and the dense patterns light up on the celestial sphere.

A clear and melodious celestial sound rang out, and the countless blooming Dao patterns on the celestial sphere slowly came to a stop. A beam of light descended and transformed into a square cauldron. Looking at the cauldron before him, Taiwei frowned, and a smile appeared on Yuanshi's majestic face.

"Refining weapons?"

Taiwei waved his hand to disperse the cauldron and looked at Fuxi beside him. Among the three of them, Fuxi was undoubtedly the strongest in terms of refining treasures.

Among the three on the other side is Yuanshi Tianzun, who has the strongest skill in refining treasures in the entire primordial world. Only by sending Fuxi up can their side have a 30-40% chance of winning this competition.

Fuxi frowned as he looked at Yuanshi Tianzun. Taiwei had already told him the cause and effect of this competition. A supreme treasure of the Void was indeed extremely important. Fuxi did not want to lose, but facing Yuanshi Tianzun, who was the most skilled in refining treasures, he could only use other means to win.

"As for crafting artifacts, the shape is up to you, and the materials will be the spiritual energy of this silver world. You can't use physical objects to craft them. Whoever crafts the best quality artifact in the shortest time and with the least amount of materials wins. What do you think?"

"Can."

Fuxi thought for a moment, then nodded. The two exchanged a glance, and flames roared in front of them simultaneously.

Before Yuanshi Tianzun was the Jade Void True Fire, which he used specifically to refine treasures. This true fire gathered innate and acquired true meanings, and could be said to be the most suitable true fire for refining weapons in the primordial world.

The true fire before Fuxi was the most domineering and scorching true fire of the sun in the primordial world. The moment the golden flames appeared, Taiwei frowned.

If the True Fire of the Sun is used for killing, it is indeed far superior to the True Fire of Jade Void. However, if such a powerful fire is used for refining artifacts, it will undoubtedly greatly damage the material of the artifact itself.

Even the Primordial Celestial Lord dared not use the True Fire of the Sun to forge weapons. Although Taiwei knew that Fuxi was well-versed in all things and had a very deep understanding of the myriad principles of heaven and earth, he did not believe that Fuxi's skill in weapon forging surpassed that of the Primordial Celestial Lord.

However, Fuxi had no time to pay attention to what the people present were thinking. Under Fuxi's control, the golden solar fire transformed into a hundred-foot-long golden-white flame dragon.

Amidst the intensely brilliant blazing sun fire, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around Fuxi surged violently, and the seven-colored spiritual energy of heaven and earth transformed into a rainbow that merged into the sun fire.

Gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to forge artifacts is something that top-tier Primordial True Saints like them can do. However, it is impossible to forge high-quality spiritual treasures using only these ordinary spiritual energies. Therefore, the strongest magic weapon that Primordial Heavenly Venerable and Fuxi could forge was only a spiritual treasure.

As the true fire of the sun blazed fiercely, the Heavenly Mirror in Fuxi's bosom emitted countless rays of light that rushed into the true fire of the sun. Amidst the extremely brilliant golden light, waves of intense heat swept over him.

Fuxi's five fingers, like canopies, tightly bound the ever-raging true fire of the sun. The scorching flames, like a sun about to explode, were filled with indescribable destructive power.

Countless lights shone on the Heavenly Mirror, and indescribable, profound spiritual energy seeped into the true fire of the sun. Under the radiance of the Heavenly Mirror, strands of spiritual energy of heaven and earth collapsed and were reforged, and even more strands of true fire of the sun were enveloped and melted by this broken and reforged spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The Jade Void True Fire before the Primordial Celestial Venerable burned steadily, and countless brilliant spiritual energies of heaven and earth, like dragons and snakes, evolved into the true meaning of strength and gentleness within the lotus-shaped flames.

Countless brilliant ideas intertwined and interwoven, creating combinations of indescribable ways that even Taiwei had never heard of. Points of light shone, and a sharp, piercing aura emanated from the Jade Void True Fire.

Just then, a flash of intense, tearing fire disappeared in an instant. Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at the vessel embryo that had already taken shape in the True Fire of the Sun in front of Fuxi, frowned, and seemed surprised by Fuxi's progress in refining it.

With his left hand forming a mudra, he drew forth streams of spiritual light. The true meaning of strength and gentleness within the Jade Void True Fire before the Primordial Celestial Venerable continuously sublimated, and streams of seven-colored dragons, snakes, and mist condensed, forming a radiant and colorful vessel embryo within the Jade Void True Fire.

"I've finished making it."

Just as Yuanshi Tianzun accelerated his weapon-forging progress, he heard Fuxi's extremely calm voice. The Jade Void True Fire in front of him rippled slightly. Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at the bronze halberd in front of Fuxi, which was wrapped with specks of golden flames, and a mysterious golden jade immortal light flashed in his eyes.

"A single strand of Wuji Qi was enough to forge a spiritual treasure? Fuxi's forging skills are probably not much weaker than mine."

With a flick of his finger, the Jade Void True Fire before him began to burn fiercely. Streams of spiritual energy from heaven and earth merged into the Jade Void True Fire. After three hundred and sixty breaths, the Jade Void True Fire before the Primordial Heavenly Venerable dissipated, and a long sword with a blade like a shark's tooth emitted a clear and melodious long cry.

The bronze halberd and the shark-tooth longsword complemented each other. Although they were just two spiritual treasures, Taiwei sensed extremely pure Dao essence in them. The foundation of these two spiritual treasures was very good, and they might even be promoted to acquired treasures or even creation treasures in the future.

"The Halberd of Ceasefire, or you could call it the Ceasefire, is a high-ranking spiritual treasure." Fuxi waved his hand and sent the Ceasefire in front of him to the Supreme Celestial Venerable, so that the person in charge of the Xuanmen could examine it.

As they watched the bronze halberd radiating spiritual light and continuously absorbing the primordial energy from all directions, the three—Taishang Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun—looked at Fuxi with a unique expression on their faces.
