High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged again and continued to activate the forging technique.

With the Heart of the All-Encompassing Furnace, the fusion efficiency is astonishingly fast.

He originally thought it would take at least a few more months before he could see the basic shape.

It only took a month.

The Nine Nether Mysterious Waters underwent a tremendous transformation.

Inside the training room at this moment.

The spiritual energy was so dense it was like an impenetrable fog; the temperature fluctuated, and the air was filled with a strange scent that blended metal and starlight.

The silvery ribbon of water flowed slowly around Chen Yuan.

It has expanded to nearly a hundred feet in length, almost completely encircling the entire training room.

On the surface of the water, various kinds of light shimmered and reflected each other.

Blade flashes, sword shadows, spear gleams, axe marks, staff strikes, spear tips, scythe blades, umbrella shadows, bottle patterns, bowstrings...

The phantom images of various treasures kept flashing on the water, then disappeared again.

It was as if a real galaxy was slowly flowing around Chen Yuan.

"Just one last step..."

Chen Yuan's forehead was covered in sweat, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.

He formed hand seals and cast the final forging rune into the Milky Way.

The moment that spiritual rune disappeared into the water, the entire Milky Way trembled violently.

then.

All the light converged at the same time, and then burst forth at the same time.

boom!

An extremely terrifying aura surged forth from the Nine Nether Profound Water.

Wherever that aura passed, the walls of the training room trembled slightly.

Chen Yuan's expression changed, and he quickly reached out to press down.

He forcibly controlled that aura within the cultivation room, preventing it from leaking out in the slightest.

"Phew... I almost blew the house up."

He wiped away his sweat, but his face still held an undisguised smile.

This is just one energy fluctuation in an incomplete state.

He didn't even dare to imagine how terrifying the power would be when it was finally completed.

"Once the Wanbao River is completed, I'm afraid I'll be able to compete with those at the Supreme Realm."

Chen Yuan pondered to himself.

He was not blindly confident.

He was at the mid-stage of the Eternal True God realm, possessed multiple ultimate laws, and had the Myriad Treasures River, a super treasure that incorporated nearly twenty top-grade Eternal Secret Treasures.

If it really came down to a fight, he might not necessarily lose to an ordinary early-stage Supreme Being!

"I wonder when the Law of Thunder and the Law of Time will be available for signing in."

As Chen Yuan continued the fusion work at hand, he was also making plans in his mind.

He now possesses the six ultimate laws of space, metal, wood, fire, ice, and earth.

There were no rule-based rewards for signing in last month.

To reach the Supreme Realm, we still need to meet the requirements of the Four Paths: Me, Light, Thunder, and Time.

"Hopefully the system will cooperate."

He muttered something under his breath.

His hands didn't stop moving; he carefully integrated the spirit patterns of the last few treasures into the Milky Way.

Just then.

Suddenly, that familiar mechanical voice echoed in my mind.

[Ding! The monthly check-in count has been refreshed. Would you like to check in now?]

Chen Yuan paused for a moment.

Another month has passed so quickly?

He looked up at the cultivation room.

The surrounding spiritual mist has dissipated considerably.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of spirit stone fragments, the result of repeated consumption over the past month.

"Let's sign in first, it won't make a difference."

Chen Yuan diverted a portion of his mind to continue controlling the fusion of Wanbao River, while simultaneously responding in his mind.

"Check-in".

[Ding! Check-in successful!]

[Congratulations, host, on receiving the following rewards: Ultimate Comprehension of the Law of Darkness, Ultimate Comprehension of the Law of Light, and the Supreme Eternal Treasure, Sky-Splitting Claw.]

"Ultimate Comprehension of the Laws of Darkness: Rapidly elevates the host's comprehension of the Laws of Darkness to the ultimate level."

["Ultimate Comprehension of the Law of Light: Rapidly elevates the host's comprehension of the Law of Light to the ultimate level."]

"Sky-Splitting Claw: A supreme eternal treasure. The claw is forged from the life essence of the Sky-Splitting Dragon Beast and fused with Void Crystal. Its five fingers are sharp as hooks and contain the dual enhancement of the Law of Tear and the Law of Darkness."

The claw-like wind shatters the void where it passes, capable of tearing apart even an eternal divine body. Its attack speed is extremely fast, and its trajectory is unpredictable, making it impossible to defend against.

Chen Yuan quickly reviewed the sign-in rewards and his eyes lit up.

The ultimate understanding of the laws of darkness and light!

This time, the sign-in finally yielded a law-related reward, and there were two at once.

Chen Yuan felt a surge of joy.

"Once I absorb these two laws, I will have nine ultimate laws."

He quickly calculated in his mind.

Space, metal, wood, fire, ice, earth, darkness, plus light.

The Eight Ultimate Laws.

Only the Law of Lightning and the Law of Time remain to meet the ten requirements for breaking through to the Supreme Realm.

"It will get easier as time goes on."

Chen Yuan's lips curled up slightly.

Reaching the ultimate levels of both the Law of Light and the Law of Darkness simultaneously boosted his power immeasurably.

Light and darkness are two opposing forces.

If it can be perfectly controlled and integrated, its power is far more than just one plus one.

"Absorb the laws first, we'll deal with Wanbaohe later."

Without further hesitation, Chen Yuan spoke to the system in his mind.

"receive."

[Ding! Reward has been issued, please check.]

The moment the system's voice fell, two orbs of light appeared out of thin air in Chen Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

One was blindingly bright, the other was pitch black.

The ball of light contained endless profound laws and mysteries, which surged into the depths of Chen Yuan's soul like two torrents.

Chen Yuan immediately stopped forging the weapon.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to absorb the two laws.

The profound mysteries of the Law of Light surged forth like a tidal wave.

Light, purification, protection, warmth.

There is also the most essential power of light—to dispel all darkness and illuminate all nothingness.

As Chen Yuan sensed the profound mystery of the Law of Light, a strange enlightenment gradually arose in his heart.

Light and darkness, seemingly opposites, are actually complementary.

Without the contrast of darkness, the brilliance of light cannot be shown.

Without light, darkness is nothingness.

The two laws unfolded simultaneously in his consciousness, like two rivers converging.

Chen Yuan slowly began to grasp the true meaning of it...

Time passed little by little.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

At that moment, two completely different lights were flowing in those eyes.

A holy white halo shone in his left eye.

His right eye shone with a deep, dark, ghostly light.

Light and darkness intersected, merged, and swirled deep within his pupils.

Chen Yuan spread his hands.

A ball of pure white light slowly rose from the palm of his left hand.

The sphere of light emitted a warm and holy aura, illuminating the entire training room.

A dark sphere slowly rose from the palm of his right hand.

The dark sphere was deep and cold, as if it could even devour light.

A light and a shadow slowly rotated in front of Chen Yuan.

"Is this the ultimate law of light and darkness?"

As Chen Yuan felt the power emanating from his palm, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

This feeling is amazing.

Previously, when he used the Law of Darkness, he only roughly utilized its properties of devouring and concealment.

But now, all the mysteries of the Law of Darkness are clearly displayed in his mind.

The addition of the Law of Light further elevated his understanding of the two powers to a new level.

What would happen if the forces of light and darkness were combined?

This thought suddenly popped into Chen Yuan's mind.

He slowly brought his hands together, and the spheres of light and darkness moved towards the center at the same time.

The moment the two forces came into contact, a grayish-white energy wave spread out from the point of contact.

Chen Yuan's pupils contracted.

He sensed a dangerous aura.

That aura even made him, a mid-stage Eternal True God, feel a chill.

"interesting."

He did not continue the experiment, but slowly withdrew the two forces back into his body.

There will be plenty of time to study this later.

There is still work to do now.

With a thought, Chen Yuan took out the Sky-Splitting Claw from the infinite storage space.

The Sky Claw is entirely black with silver-white patterns.

Its five claws were long and sharp, each gleaming with a cold, chilling light.

The patterns on its claws flowed subtly, making it seem as if it were alive.

"Good weapon."

Chen Yuan took a look with his Eye of Void and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The Sky-Splitting Claw is among the top-tier weapons in his arsenal.

In terms of close-combat lethality alone, it is probably even superior to the Dawnbreaker Spear!

After all, it is a weapon specifically designed for close-quarters combat.

"One more item won't make a difference, and one less item won't make a difference either. Let's integrate them into Wanbaohe as well."

Chen Yuan did not hesitate for long.

He also sent the Sky-Splitting Claw into the Milky Way-like Wanbao River.

As soon as the Sky-Splitting Claw pierced through, a silver-black light appeared on the surface of the Myriad Treasures River.

The light circled the Milky Way a few times before quickly merging with other lights.

"good."

Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

He reactivated the forging technique and continued to refine the details of Wanbaohe.

Another half month has passed.

The sun was shining brightly at noon that day.

Yuhua Manor was quiet.

The shadowy creature lay on its back on the southern lawn, its four paws dangling casually.

Its tail slapped the ground intermittently, making the grass sway and bend.

"Ah, this feels so good... this is what life should be like."

The shadowy figure squinted, feeling warm all over from the sun.

Chen Yi and Chen Er patrolled near the manor gate, while Chen San to Chen Wu sparred in the training ground...

Chen Tianling was meditating in the pavilion at the back of the manor.

suddenly.

A burst of laughter came from the direction of the training room.

"It's done! I've succeeded!"

The laughter was powerful and filled with undisguised ecstasy, exploding like a thunderclap over the manor.

Even the surrounding air vibrated several times.

The shadowy figure shuddered at the sudden laughter.

It suddenly sprang up from the ground, its four paws flapping in the air twice, almost falling over.

"Holy crap!"

Youying steadied herself, her small eyes wide open, and looked towards the direction of the training room.

"What's making you so happy, boss? You're laughing so loudly."

It tilted its head and listened for a moment, then muttered something.

"What's the boss talking about, Wanbaohe? What's that?"

The others in the manor were also alerted.

Chen Tianling opened his eyes in the pavilion and looked towards the cultivation room.

A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

"It seems that the boss's most precious treasure has been successfully forged."

Based on his observations over the past few days, the boss was definitely forging a powerful treasure.

Chen Yi and Chen Er exchanged a glance, both seeing joy in each other's eyes.

Chen Wu wiped the sweat from his face and grinned.

"For the boss to be smiling like that, it must be a very good thing!"

Shadow flicked its tail and took off running towards the training room.

"Let's go! Let's go see the boss's treasure!"

Chen Tianling also stood up and followed at a leisurely pace.

Inside the meditation room.

Chen Yuan stood in front of the prayer mat, his hands behind his back, and a dazzling Milky Way floated in front of him.

The Milky Way was several tens of feet long, and its entire surface was shimmering with light and color.

Blade flashes, sword shadows, spear gleams, axe marks, staff strikes, spear tips, scythe blades, claw marks, umbrella shadows, bottle patterns, bowstrings...

Nearly twenty different weapon phantoms slowly swirled in the galaxy, each exuding an extremely powerful aura.

The entire Milky Way is like a long river of precious light, formed by the convergence of countless treasures.

Magnificent, dazzling, terrifying.

Looking at his masterpiece, Chen Yuan felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

It took two and a half months and countless efforts.

It incorporates all the offensive treasures he possesses.

He even incorporated the Fengshen Mirror, which had a sealing effect, into it.

Finally, this unprecedented super treasure has been created!

"Wanbaohe...is complete."

Chen Yuan murmured.

Although there aren't actually ten thousand treasures in his Wanbao River.

However, the combined power of nearly twenty top-grade eternal treasures is many times stronger than that of ten thousand ordinary weapons.

With a thought, Wanbao River immediately shrank to about a foot in length.

It slowly rotated around his wrist like a small snake.

Chen Yuan waved his hand lightly, and the phantom images of the Four God-Slaying Swords in the Wanbao River lit up.

The next second, four long swords flew out of the Wanbao River and hovered beside him.

"It can indeed be removed separately."

Chen Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

This is where Wanbaohe's flexibility lies.

Although all the treasures have been integrated into the River of Treasures, they have not lost their independence.

When you want to use the God-Slaying Sword Formation.

The four swords can be taken out and arranged in formation at any time.

It's so convenient that you can just put it back into the Wanbao River after you're done using it.

"This is practically a mobile arsenal."

Chen Yuan sighed and then tried to take out the Dawnbreaker Spear as well.

The gun body was intact, and the tip was as sharp as ever.

"Not bad, not bad. In the future, when we fight, I can first release a sword formation from the Wanbao River."

"Use the Dawnbreaker to get close, then use the Shattering Star Bow to snipe from a distance."

"Throw the rest all at once."

Chen Yuan became happier and happier as she thought about it, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

He retrieved all the weapons into the Wanbao River, then held the Wanbao River in his palm and examined it carefully.

But as Chen Yuan watched, he gradually frowned.

"Why does it feel like... something's missing?"

He muttered to himself.

Chen Yuan repeatedly examined the Wanbaohe in his hand.

It shines brightly, is very powerful, and is also quite agile.

But I always felt that something was missing.

He pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Yes! The artifact spirit is missing!"

Chen Yuan slapped his forehead.

He finally remembered what he was missing.

Although Wanbaohe is very strong now, it is ultimately just an inanimate object.

It requires him to be distracted and manipulate it in order to unleash its maximum power.

If there were a spirit inside Wanbaohe, it would be a completely different story.

A weapon spirit is like giving a weapon artificial intelligence.

It can assist its owner at all times and automatically adjust its attack methods.

They can even take the initiative to protect their owners when they are in danger.

The difference in combat power between a treasure with a spirit and one without is significant.

"But getting a spirit from a weapon... is difficult."

Chen Yuan's excitement immediately subsided.

As a Dao Integration-level weapon forger, he was perfectly clear about the conditions for the birth of a weapon spirit.

There are two ways in which a spirit can be born.

One type is that the treasure, over a long period of time, is nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and naturally develops intelligence.

This kind of artifact spirit is the rarest and the most powerful.

The problem is that it takes too long for nature to nurture a spirit.

It could take anywhere from a few hundred or a thousand years to tens of thousands of years, or even longer!

How could Chen Yuan possibly have the time to wait?

Moreover, it's uncertain whether the Myriad Treasures River, formed by the fusion of so many treasures, can even give birth to a spirit.

Another method is for the blacksmith to forcibly inject a spirit into the artifact when forging a supreme treasure.

However, this method also has requirements.

That means the spirit that was injected must have been subdued, otherwise it would be devoured by its master.

"My Wanbao River has fused with so many eternal top-grade treasures, and its internal energy environment is extremely complex. It is simply impossible for a spirit to naturally emerge from it."

Chen Yuan sighed.

"If I were to forcibly inject a spirit into it... I don't have any spirits on hand right now."

He leaned back on the cushion and began to seriously consider the matter.

"Where can we find a suitable spirit?"

Chen Yuan's gaze swept across the ceiling of the training room, his mind racing.

The best choice is, of course, the Cloud Realm.

But he barely escaped from that wretched place; wouldn't going back now be suicide?

He immediately dismissed the idea.

Those guys in the Cloud Ripple Immortal Realm are no pushovers, and weapons with spirits are hard to find anyway.

Chen Yuan then thought of another aspect.

"Even if we find it, it's not certain whether the spirit of the artifact will submit."

"If it turns out to be a tough nut to crack, I'll have to go through the trouble of taming it."

"The risks are high, and the returns are not necessarily high."

The more Chen Yuan thought about it, the more she felt it wasn't worth it.

He looked down at the Wanbaohe cigarettes in his hand.

So what if there's no spirit within the artifact?

With these nearly twenty top-grade eternal treasures as its foundation, the power of the Myriad Treasures River is already terrifying enough.

"Never mind, let's talk about the artifact spirit later."

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"For Wanbaohe now, the artifact spirit is just icing on the cake."

"Consolidating our current advantages is more important than anything else."

He drew Wanbaohe back into his body, letting it float above the vortex of divine power in his dantian, and slowly nurtured it.

Then he patted his robes, got up, and walked out of the cultivation room.

"I haven't left the house for two and a half months, it's time to get some fresh air."
