Chapter 485: Volume 14, Chapter 58, "Array Dao" Volume 900

Uncle Fu nodded with a smile and said, "There’s no hurry for the moment. Although the items in the room are important, the three Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures here are indispensable for your future travels in the Divine World."

"Please, Uncle Fu, go on," Qin Yu immediately sensed something.

"The ’Feiyuan’ Divine Ship and the God-locking Tower, these two auxiliary Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, you should refine the ’Feiyuan’ Divine Ship when you have time. Afterwards, refine the God-locking Tower, and finally the ’Snow Silk Gloves’," Uncle Fu suggested.

Qin Yu asked with a hint of confusion, "Uncle Fu, why refine the offensive spiritual treasure last?"

From Qin Yu’s perspective, in the Divine World, one’s own strength was the most important, and the Snow Silk Gloves should be refined early on.

Uncle Fu smiled and shook his head, "You already have the Divine Spear ’Residual Snow,’ and your attack power is already very strong. Moreover, an Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact is not as difficult to refine as a Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, so there’s no need to rush in refining the Snow Silk Gloves."

"I agree with that; Heavenly Divine Artifacts are indeed easier to refine than Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures," said Qin Yu with a smile and a nod.

A Heavenly Divine Artifact merely requires the Soul Realm to reach the ’Soul Golden Core’ level for it to be easily refined. And in terms of power, an Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact is on par with second and third-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures.

Of course, even within Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, there are levels of superiority.

"Let these three Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures stay here for now. When you have time in the future, you can slowly refine them. Only when fully refined can Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures exert their strongest power," Uncle Fu sighed, "Come, follow me to another room."

Qin Yu immediately nodded and followed Uncle Fu, leaving the room containing the three Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, and entered the room opposite.

Stepping inside,

the scenery around him changed dramatically, and Qin Yu closely observed his surroundings.

This was a misty and boundless starry sky, with dazzling stars emitting a faint starlight in the distance, and where Qin Yu stood was in space.

Not far ahead of Qin Yu, there was a house suspended in the starry sky, surrounded by blocks of golden scrolls, thousands of them, all floating around the house.

"What’s going on here?" Qin Yu asked, puzzled, looking at Uncle Fu beside him.

Uncle Fu smiled and said, "Qin Yu, it looks like a star space, but in reality, the space here is not large. Whether it’s in front or behind, to the left or right, or up and down, there’s just a distance of one li. Beyond that, you can’t take a single step further."

"Uncle Fu, you mean... those stars are just an illusion?" Qin Yu suddenly understood.

"Yes, it’s an illusion," Uncle Fu smiled, "Although the master’s strength is formidable, he has not reached the stage where he can create a whole space; he can only set up a small area at most."

Uncle Fu pointed to the stone house floating in the center: "Inside that stone house is the core of the entire Mishen Palace, the ’Refining Fire Bracelet’ crafted from nine Purple Origin Fire Pearls.’

"Refining Fire Bracelet?" Qin Yu couldn’t help but be moved; this Refining Fire Bracelet was the control core of the Mishen Palace.

"The Purple Origin Fire Pearl itself is a third-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, and the master has refined nine Purple Origin Fire Pearls into one to form this ’Refining Fire Bracelet.’ With the Refining Fire Bracelet, you can enhance your fire control capabilities. As for the bracelet itself, it is considered a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure. However, for an Artifact Refining Master, it is almost equivalent to a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure," Uncle Fu said, smiling at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu immediately guessed what that implied.

For an Artifact Refining Master, the ability to control flames was extremely important, not just in regulating the level of heat, but also the grade of the flames. Since the ’Refining Fire Bracelet" was crafted from nine Purple Origin Fire Pearls, it presumably belonged to Fire Attribute Spiritual Treasures, the benefits of which for artifact refining were evident.

"Qin Yu, what’s most important for you now is... to refine this ’Refining Fire Bracelet’ as soon as possible," Uncle Fu looked at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu nodded, his gaze fixed on the floating house.

Refining the ’Refining Fire Bracelet’ would mean he had taken control of the Mishen Palace. Qin Yu immediately stepped on the void and headed straight for the house. But after just a few steps, Qin Yu’s gaze involuntarily shifted towards those golden scrolls.

"What are those scrolls?" Qin Yu asked with curiosity.

Uncle Fu explained with a smile, "Those scrolls contain recorded cultivation techniques, secrets, or various types of knowledge, much like the Jade Scrolls in your Immortal, Demon, and Beast worlds. However, the storage capacity of scrolls is far greater than that of Jade Scrolls."

Qin Yu was somewhat surprised inwardly.

The capacity that the Jade Scroll could record was crystal clear to Qin Yu. That capacity was astoundingly large... so much so that not even the so-called storage disks from the technological universe where his mentor ’Lei Wei’ resided were a ten-thousandth of the Jade Scroll’s.

This Golden Scroll actually had a capacity much larger than the Jade Scroll’s, truly worthy of being an item used in the Divine World to record information.

"Qin Yu, the reason I said the items in this room are more precious than those in the room on the right is mainly because of these scrolls," Uncle Fu said solemnly.

Qin Yu was startled internally.

At first, Qin Yu thought it was because of the ’Refining Fire Bracelet’ that Uncle Fu mentioned this room’s items were more precious than those in the other room. He hadn’t expected it to be because of these scrolls.

"These thousands of scrolls are of a value that can’t be described with numbers. They contain descriptions of medicinal herbs, all sorts of strange Demon Beasts, dangerous places in the Divine World... and many other things. To become a high-status Artifact Refining Master, you must completely master them!" Uncle Fu pointed at the floating Golden Scrolls.

Qin Yu’s gaze was like a burning torch as he looked at these Golden Scrolls.

"These Golden Scrolls contain the corpus of knowledge left by the master. Many things about levels from the past were indescribable in language and will have to be comprehended by you later," Uncle Fu said with a smile. "But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Right now, the most important thing for you is to master the most fundamental skill necessary for a refining expert—Array Formation!"

"Array Formation? Which scroll is it?" Qin Yu asked.

Qin Yu had already made a determination to study and research.

"Which scroll?" Uncle Fu was slightly taken aback.

Qin Yu smiled, "Yes, what’s wrong, Uncle Fu? Surely you’re not telling me that a single Golden Scroll doesn’t suffice to record all of Senior Che Hou’s comprehension of Array Formation," he joked.

"Of course, the master left behind nine hundred volumes of ’Array Dao,’ and you must completely comprehend all nine hundred to have taken the first step on the path of an Array Formation expert," Uncle Fu nodded as he spoke.

Qin Yu felt a wave of pressure, "Uncle Fu, please don’t tell me that all nine hundred volumes are full!"

Qin Yu was very clear about the storage capacity of the Jade Scroll; for many years, he had never seen a Jade Scroll filled with information. The capacity of the Golden Scroll, even larger than that of the Jade Scroll, was terrifying just to imagine.

Even if a Divine World expert’s ’Divine Sense’ could calculate at an extremely fast speed, the sheer quantity of information contained in an entire Golden Scroll was still formidable.

"These nine hundred volumes are not all full," Uncle Fu said with a smile, and Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, only for Uncle Fu to continue, "Of these nine hundred volumes, the first 899 volumes are completely full, and only the last volume is half full."

Qin Yu was stunned for quite a while.

"Uncle Fu, how long do you think it will take me to finish reading these nine hundred volumes?" Qin Yu asked quietly, as he still didn’t have a precise concept of the capacity of the Divine World’s Golden Scrolls. It was bigger than a Jade Scroll’s, but by how much?

Uncle Fu smiled and said, "I’m not exactly sure, but my estimate is... if you read through these nine hundred volumes without stopping for sleep or rest, it will likely take at least a few hundred years. Once you have finished, it would mean that you have taken the first step towards comprehending the ’Array Dao’ First Realm!"

"A few hundred years just to finish reading nine hundred volumes? Just to comprehend the first step of the First Realm?" Although Qin Yu was prepared for the difficulties of becoming a refining expert, the mere thought of comprehending Array Formation was enough to shake him.

"You didn’t hear me clearly. I said... after finishing reading the nine hundred volumes, you will have just taken the first step and be qualified to embark upon progressing into the ’Array Dao’ First Realm. At that time, you won’t even remotely comprehend the First Realm," Uncle Fu said with an easy smile.

Qin Yu felt the pressure mounting.

It was an enormous challenge to become the foremost Artifact Refining expert in the Divine World.

"Uncle Fu, how long will it take to comprehend the ’Array Dao’ First Realm?" Qin Yu inquired.

Uncle Fu said with a light smile, "Some do it faster, taking only tens of thousands of years. Others, however, might spend tens of billions of years without ever reaching the first layer of the Realm."

"Tens of thousands of years?" Qin Yu nodded inwardly, convinced that if others could do it, he could do even better.

Uncle Fu continued, "Qin Yu, the comprehension of ’Array Dao’ is unlike any ordinary Cultivation Technique. Faster isn’t necessarily better; in fact... the more talented a person is, the better it is for them to linger in the First Realm for an extended time."

"The master himself spent over a million years to reach the ’Array Dao’ First Realm, and then tens of millions of years to reach the Second Realm," Uncle Fu said slowly.

"However, the master later discarded all past comprehensions and started anew. It took him over a billion years to reach the ’Array Dao’ First Realm again, yet to comprehend the Second Realm took only an hour!"

Qin Yu’s heart jolted, and a look of shock couldn’t help but appear in his eyes.

Che Hou Yuan had such formidable perseverance, initially spending merely a million years to reach the First Realm of Array Dao, then taking ten million years to reach the Second Realm.

Yet, Che Hou Yuan later dared to abandon all understandings and start from scratch. It took him more than a billion years to perfect the First Realm. Then, he reached the Second Realm in just an hour.

A million years, ten million years.

A billion years, an hour.

"What’s going on? What exactly is happening?" Qin Yu felt there was a profound mystery hidden within.

Uncle Fu said with a light smile, "Array Dao itself is a test of talent and patience. The master was born with a divine stature, unparalleled talent, immense perseverance, and great wisdom. Only then did he finally comprehend the Third Realm of Array Dao, making him the number one Artifact Refining expert in the Divine World!"

"Without that second attempt at cultivation, the master would have never grasped the Second Realm of Array Dao," Uncle Fu stated indifferently.

"What’s going on? Didn’t Che Hou senior initially comprehend the First Realm already? Why did he go through the process of comprehension again?" Qin Yu felt his mind was in disarray.

Uncle Fu shook his head and said, "Because the First Realm everyone comprehends is different."

"The differing First Realms determine one’s future in the way of Array Dao. Qin Yu, what I’m telling you now is also what the master entrusted me to tell his successor before he left. In the First Realm of Array Dao, you must reach the most complete realm, yes, the most complete... strive to delve even deeper, more thoroughly."

A tinge of bitterness surfaced in Qin Yu’s heart.

Che Hou Yuan undoubtedly had exceptional talent, but he still spent a billion years to comprehend the First Realm the second time around. How long would it take for Qin Yu? Does he have that much time?

"Uncle Fu, I will first refine the ’Refining Fire Bracelet.’ The understanding of Array Dao can wait until I reach the Divine World; there’s not enough time in the Immortal, Demon, and Monster World," said Qin Yu as he stepped into the house.

In about 108 years’ time, Qin Yu would have to undergo the Divine Tribulation and then ascend.

And in these 108 years, Qin Yu still had many things to do, leaving no time to comprehend the Array Dao. A hundred years? That’s barely enough to even finish reading the nine hundred scrolls of Array Dao.

******

This floating house emitted a warm red glow, originating from the bracelet made up of beads of near-transparent crimson red that floated in the center of the room.

Qin Yu’s gaze fixed on the bracelet.

Refining Fire Bracelet!

Qin Yu was utterly certain, and at that moment, Uncle Fu walked in and said, "Qin Yu, refining that ’Refining Fire Bracelet’ is somewhat challenging, mainly relying on the True Fire inside your body, as well as the Soul Realm. You should first drop a bead of your blood onto it; according to the settings by the master when he created the bracelet, it should be quite easy to recognize the master through blood and absorb it into your body."

Qin Yu nodded his head.

Stretching out his finger, a drop of fresh blood drifted from his fingertip and fell onto the ’Refining Fire Bracelet,’ which instantly made a sizzling sound and emitted a cloud of white vapor.

"Done," Qin Yu felt a clear sense of a soul-link connection.

With a thought, the Refining Fire Bracelet merged directly into Qin Yu’s body, and almost at the same moment, he sat down cross-legged and began the refining process.

The time left for Qin Yu to ascend wasn’t long, and he did not want to waste too much time on refining the bracelet. He wanted to save time to spend with his family.

"He’s really working hard." Seeing Qin Yu start refining, Uncle Fu couldn’t help but smile and nod, "With your Soul Realm, plus the master’s attempt to lower the refining requirements when he made the ’Refining Fire Bracelet,’ it’s estimated that you’ll be able to complete the refining successfully in just a few thousand years."

A few thousand years?

Qin Yu would have to undergo Divine Tribulation in 108 years, but unfortunately, Qin Yu, who was now fully focused on refining the ’Refining Fire Bracelet,’ had no idea what Uncle Fu had said, otherwise, he would have felt incredibly frustrated.

"The master was truly remarkable. For Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures that naturally formed, refining them usually requires hundreds of thousands of years. For some more formidable Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, the time and energy needed are even more astonishing. If a Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure resists, it’s estimated they cannot be refined no matter how much time is given. Fortunately, the ’Refining Fire Bracelet’ was personally crafted by the master, and Qin Yu has benefited from that. A few thousand years is enough for him to successfully refine it," Uncle Fu mused.

Clearly, to Uncle Fu, refining a Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure in just a few thousand years was incredibly fast.

Afterwards, Uncle Fu sat down beside him, flipping his hand to take out a pot of tea and leisurely began to drink, while Qin Yu sat cross-legged to one side, wholly focused on refining the "Refining Fire Bracelet".

Time passed... one year after another...

******

In the Dan Field Space of Qin Yu.

The Refining Fire Bracelet hovered in Qin Yu’s Dan Field Space, with streams of black flames continuously merging into the Refining Fire Bracelet, while Qin Yu’s Soul Power also constantly infused into this "Refining Fire Bracelet".

"What’s going on? Why is this Refining Fire Bracelet refining so slowly?" Qin Yu, who had already performed Blood Recognition, knew he was still far from fully refining the "Refining Fire Bracelet".

According to Uncle Fu, the speed of refining the Refining Fire Bracelet was related to the Soul Realm and the True Fire within the body. And after performing Blood Recognition, Qin Yu also knew... that to speed up the refinement of the "Refining Fire Bracelet", he would have to enhance his Soul Realm or the True Fire within his body.

"At this rate, when will it end?" Qin Yu was anxious, "If I put this Refining Fire Bracelet in the ’Star Space’, directly at the source where the True Fire within the body originates, it might be faster."

With a thought, the Refining Fire Bracelet entered the ’Black Hole’, traveling through the Black Hole Channel to arrive at the Star Space.

The Star Space had become very vast by now, and Qin Yu’s consciousness surveyed the area all around.

On the outskirts of the stars, the boundless ’Glue Space’, much like Cosmic Space, flowed with dense Glue Breath, just as it did in the past, with strands of Breath flowing into the Star Space.

"There’s still some distance from the Late Origin stage," noted Qin Yu, turning his attention to a dark spherical object that still sparkled with slivers of golden light; by Qin Yu’s estimation, if he had completely reached the Late Origin stage, there shouldn’t be a trace of golden light.

The Star Space continuously absorbed the ’Glue Breath’ from the outskirts.

"It needs to absorb for a while longer," Qin Yu sighed, then shifted his focus to the Refining Fire Bracelet.

The Refining Fire Bracelet was flying toward the source of the ’Black Divine Fire’.

But at this moment—

"What’s going on?" Qin Yu was startled to see a scene unfold before him, as a strand of ’Glue Breath’ had drifted onto the Refining Fire Bracelet, causing it to tremble violently, and then it began to ’struggle’ to devour that strand of Glue Breath.

This strand of Glue Breath was minimal; the core of his Star Space, that dark golden spherical object, would devour massive amounts of Glue Breath in an instant.

However, the Refining Fire Bracelet took nearly a month to devour less than one-tenth of that strand of Glue Breath.

But just by devouring one-tenth, Qin Yu felt... the degree to which the Alchemy Bracelet had been refined suddenly increased by one-tenth!

"My god." Qin Yu was shocked.

He was also ecstatic, as a month meant an increase of one-tenth in the degree of refinement. Adding to the two-tenths already refined at the beginning, Qin Yu believed... another seven months would be enough to fully refine the Refining Fire Bracelet.

However, in the following days, Qin Yu discovered... the speed at which the Refining Fire Bracelet devoured ’Glue Breath’ was getting slower and slower.

Initially, it devoured one-tenth of that strand each month. Later, it took two months just to devour the second ’one-tenth’.

A full ten years!

After ten years, the Alchemy Bracelet was finally completely refined, and at this time, there was still a small part of that ’Glue Breath’ left undevoured. The Alchemy Bracelet could no longer devour ’Glue Breath’, as if it had become saturated.

The remaining ’Glue Breath’ converged with billions of strands of Glue Breath towards the core of the Star Space, the ’Origin’, which was devouring ’Glue Breath’ every moment at a terrifying speed.
