1259 The Unique Nine Treasures PaG.o.da!
Ideas started blooming in w.a.n.g Teng’s heart after realizing that the Fire G.o.d Hammer and the Lightning G.o.d Hammer could stir up the power of rules.
There was no description in the Buddha’s Sutra saying that the power of rules from the origins would appear during the cultivation of the Nine Treasures PaG.o.da.
It could only mean that it came from the two visualized weapons. Those special hammers ignited the power of rules.
w.a.n.g Teng’s choice was the right call.
!!
The two hammers were indeed extraordinary.
One was a fire element hammer while the other harnessed the lightning element.
By right, if there were external elemental forces present, the power of the hammers would increase.
Coincidently, w.a.n.g Teng had both of them.
Divine flame!
Heaven-Earth Calamity Lightning!
However, activating them was dangerous.
Everything was happening in w.a.n.g Teng’s consciousness. In the likelihood of the weapons exploding, failing to withstand the power of the divine flames and the Heaven-Earth Calamity Lightning, it would cause irreparable damage to his minds.p.a.ce.
Consciousness, an essential part to all living creatures; once it collapsed, the person would die, unless the spirit was powerful enough to survive outside the body.
Still, w.a.n.g Teng decided to take the risk. He was a little mad, but he was clear headed.
He made some preparations before activating his divine flames and the Heaven-Earth Calamity Lightning, relocating the hundred hammers into the Devouring Nihility Beast’s s.p.a.ce.
The Devouring Nihility Beast was an indomitable universal behemoth, with a consciousness many times stronger than w.a.n.g Teng’s. It was also tougher; normal powers couldn’t destroy it.
Thus, it was better to carry out such risky experiments within the beast’s consciousness.
The Devour Nihility Beast clone: (*⊙~⊙)
You’re so evil!
An intense bitterness swirled around the creature’s mind, floating right and left in front of w.a.n.g Teng.
“Erm, don’t be like that. Your consciousness is powerful; you’ll be fine,” w.a.n.g Teng said, the tone laced with guilt, “Anyway, we’re in this together. Let’s not dwell on the details.”
The Devour Nihility Beast clone: …
He wasn’t wrong!
After a round of appeasing the other, w.a.n.g Teng got serious.
He merged the divine flames into the Fire G.o.d Hammer.
First was the Emerald Glazed Flame. Good, it didn’t explode.
Next, the Soul of a Thousand Beasts Flame. It remained intact!
Third came the Holy Flame. Good, nothing happened. w.a.n.g Teng wiped some virtual sweat.
Lastly, the Dark Flame…
The Fire G.o.d Hammer became a little unstable. The four flames had been with w.a.n.g Teng for a long time, so they wouldn’t rebel; still, they acted out and became violent when instilled into the Fire G.o.d Hammer at the same time.
w.a.n.g Teng’s heart was racing furiously.
Should I remove one divine flame?
Fortunately, the Fire G.o.d Hammer didn’t burst. It withstood the fluctuations of four divine flames.
Puff!
w.a.n.g Teng let out a ma.s.sive sigh.
At this moment, an eruption occurred—
Boom!
After the flames were infused, the ones surrounding the hammer were no longer illusory. They turned into real flames.
“Success!” w.a.n.g Teng was elated. The hammer didn’t collapse, and became more powerful. This validated his previous guess.
The power of rules flowing in from outside became faster when he wielded the Fire G.o.d Hammer.
He was invigorated by the feeling.
No longer hesitating, he took out his Heaven-Earth Calamity Lightning to instill the Lightning G.o.d Hammer.
This time, the other weapon showed no signs of exploding. After all, there was only one kind of lightning power, and it was at the first rank.
Once the step was made, the purple patterns on the Lightning G.o.d Hammer s.h.i.+mmered brightly. Lightning sparks started to course around the hammer. It looked divine.
w.a.n.g Teng transferred the hammers into his own consciousness.
Bang, bang, bang…
Then, he bashed his spiritual body with the hammers. Dull thuds rang in his consciousness again.
During the hammering process, the scorching heat produced by the Fire G.o.d Hammer invaded his spiritual body and refined it.
The power on the Lightning G.o.d Hammer worked the same way. Tiny bolts of lightning crept into his spiritual body and purified it.
The addition of lightning and flames caused the pain to increase.
Even his real body started trembling. His face paled while showing a contorted expression. Large drops of sweat dripped down his forehead, drenching his s.h.i.+rt. Groans came out of his throat; there were blood traces at the corner of his lips.
Again!
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t stop. He kept shouting in his heart.
Again!
Again!
The hundred hammers started plummeting down. Only their lingering shadows could be seen.
Boom!
The pain worsened as time pa.s.sed and w.a.n.g Teng became numb. One could only tell that the suffering continued by looking at the twitching muscles on his face.
A mysterious paG.o.da was slowly being constructed inside w.a.n.g Teng’s consciousness. It gave off a faint golden glow.
Although incomplete, an ancient and majestic aura could already be felt. It was profound, vast, and n.o.ble.
Red, green, white, and black flames shot up and circled the paG.o.da, burning violently as if in the process of forging real gold.
Purple bolts of lightning struck down from the top of his consciousness. Thunder roared as they struck the building.
If someone were standing right in front of w.a.n.g Teng, they would be oblivious to the terrifying scenery inside his mind.
Amid the magical scene—the mysterious paG.o.da continued to give off a faint golden glow. It was conspicuous and dazzling; nothing could hide its glamor.
The golden glow intensified as the powers refined it. The result was visible, even with the glaring flames and the bolts of lightning. The construction became firmer, and was about to be completed.
w.a.n.g Teng could finally see the paG.o.da’s appearance.
There were nine levels in the paG.o.da, and was a few hundred meters tall. The hundred hammers seemed to be minuscule before it.
The structure was complex; its pinnacle, eaves, and columns were filled with paintings of divine and mysterious animals.
Those creatures were ferocious and scary, as big as giants; they seemed to be ready to leap out from the walls to wors.h.i.+p the paG.o.da.
A majestic and stern aura was spread.
w.a.n.g Teng had never seen those beings, yet he felt that they looked similar to the Ancient G.o.ds. They were enormous and muscular like giant statues.
However, the creatures depicted on the paG.o.da were even more hideous and savage when compared to the Ancient G.o.ds. They were two different breeds.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His entire consciousness was trembling. The Nine Treasures PaG.o.da was slowly forming with the help of the divine flames and the calamity lightning. Wisps of the power of rules were seeping in from the outside world, merging into the building and giving it an unpredictable strength.
The addition of the Fire G.o.d Hammer and the Lightning G.o.d Hammer caused the Nine Treasures PaG.o.da to move in an unknown direction.
The person who created the Buddha’s Sutra had never foreseen such a change.
Time pa.s.sed gradually. On the third day at dawn—the paG.o.da inside w.a.n.g Teng’s consciousness was finally completed.
The four divine flames dispersed and the lightning above the paG.o.da started to calm down.
w.a.n.g Teng’s consciousness settled down again.
The Nine Treasures PaG.o.da floated in his deep consciousness, giving off a gentle and dazzling golden glow. It was vibrant and eye-catching.
If placed among a bunch of s.h.i.+ning paG.o.das, people would still notice it first.
w.a.n.g Teng was exhausted but happy.
Success!
He finally formed the Nine Treasures PaG.o.da!
He observed the building carefully and noticed the faint presence of red, green, white, black, and purple occult patterns under the golden glow.
Those were the colors of his divine flames and the calamity lightning.
The patterns weren’t obvious, being covered by the golden light. He wouldn’t have noticed them if he didn’t look carefully.
“There’s no description about this in the Buddha’s Sutra. Was this caused by the power of rules?” w.a.n.g Teng wondered.
He could feel the power of rules from the Nine Treasures PaG.o.da. This allowed it to have a stronger offensive power.
If created with the ‘normal’ process, it could be used to hit other spiritual bodies. However, since it had the power of rules from the origins, the power of flames and lightning could be constrained inside.
This was amazing!
What were spiritual bodies afraid of? Flames and lightning!
w.a.n.g Teng’s Nine Treasures PaG.o.da was st.u.r.dy, and also possessed the power of flames and lightning. It was a great spiritual weapon.
Its defensive ability had also increased. If anyone wanted to destroy the paG.o.da, they would first have to break the defenses established with flames and lightning. This gave him two additional s.h.i.+elds.
w.a.n.g Teng was overjoyed.
He let out a sigh. The gains were better than expected.
Next, he just needed to continue refining the Nine Treasures PaG.o.da and make it stronger.
The more powerful his spiritual power, the stronger the paG.o.da would be.
Right then—the Devouring Nihility Beast clone appeared in w.a.n.g Teng’s consciousness and sized up the Nine Treasures PaG.o.da with interest. “w.a.n.g Teng, make a paG.o.da for me, too.”
“Oh right, I should do that.” w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes lit up. He nodded and laughed. “That way, I’ll have two paG.o.das. Hahaha.”
The Devouring Nihility Beast clone smiled.
w.a.n.g Teng wanted to forge another paG.o.da right away, but he recalled it was the day he would take over as regiment commander of the Tiger Strike Force. Hence, he had to put the matter on hold.
Right when he was about to leave his consciousness, he noticed that something was amiss.
The two hammers are still here! w.a.n.g Teng stared in surprise at the Lightning G.o.d Hammer and the Fire G.o.d Hammer.
The other ninety-eight hammers had dispersed, but those two remained. w.a.n.g Teng could tell that they were the first two hammers he had created.
What is going on?
