Chen Xiaobei: Brother! I was just about to text you!
Acheron: I’ve been expecting you! Send it over!
Chen Xiaobei: Thank you so much, bro. I feel really bad that you have to lose some of your lifespan.
Acheron: Brother, you’re kidding again. My lifespan is similar to the heavens and earth. Losing a little bit of my life is nothing worth mentioning!
Chen Xiaobei: Thank you! I’ll send the item over now.
Chen Xiaobei then sent the Green Jade Cauldron, the modified scroll of painting – A Ride that Carries Victory, and the Sunlight Cache to Acheron.
Acheron really was a foresighted wizard.
He foresaw that while Chen Xiaobei had everything he needed to craft the Divine Instrument, he did not have enough time to complete the last step. So, he volunteered to help Chen Xiaobei complete the crafting.
Right now, what Chen Xiaobei lacked was lifespan. But Acheron had more lifespan that he could use. It was practically inexhaustible; helping Chen Xiaobei was as effortless as lifting one’s hand.
Acheron utilizing his lifespan to operate the Sunlight Cache was the fastest way to complete the crafting of the Divine Instrument.
Having sent everything over, all that was left for Chen Xiaobei was to wait.
Of course, Chen Xiaobei was never one to waste time.
Cultivating was Chen Xiaobei’s first choice. After all, he had stored a large amount of Beast Essence in his body, and not absorbing all of them would be a waste. Moreover, he was still very weak right now, so it was pivotal for him to increase his strength!
Back in his room, Chen Xiaobei quickly went into cultivating mode.
In a blink of an eye, 20 hours had pa.s.sed.
“Huh? Acheron sent a message! It’s probably a success!”
Chen Xiaobei had just finished cultivating when he received the message.
Ding
[Cultivation: Middle phase of Celestial Cultivation; Lifespan: 70 years; Health: 128,000; Combat power: 98,700]
Within 20 hours, Chen Xiaobei’s combat power and health had increased by 2,000 points. With the help of the Primordial Witch King’s Combat Enhancement Training Manual, he could b.u.mp his combat power up to 128,310. Held back only by the limitation of his health, he could still wield 128,000 combat power.
Luckily, when he was in America, Chen Xiaobei had used the biochemical drug and increased his health by 10,000. Had he not done that, he would have lost a very valuable 10,000 combat power.
“My cultivation is rising steadily, but it’s still too slow. If Old Leader could just finish three million words, I would get the Ginseng Fruit. Then I could reach the peak of Celestial Cultivation effortlessly, and break through to Ethereal Cultivation!”
Chen Xiaobei was feeling a little frustrated.
20 hours is equivalent to 1,200 minutes. If he wants to use the Sunlight Cache, then that would take 1,200 days!
In other words, in the 20 hours Chen Xiaobei spent cultivating, the Divine Instrument had been burning in the Sanmei True Fire for more than three years!
If Chen Xiaobei had so much time, he would already have broken through to Ethereal Cultivation.
Of course, there are no if’s in this world. Chen Xiaobei was extremely low on lifespan right now. Old Leader was his only hope.
Ding
[Congratulations! You’ve received a Red Envelope from Acheron. The Green Jade Cauldron has already been stored inside the treasure chest!]
Ding
[Congratulations! You received a Red Envelope from Acheron. The Sunlight Cache has already been stored inside the treasure chest!]
Acheron: I’ve finished crafting the Divine Instrument. You just need to open the cauldron!
Chen Xiaobei: Thank you so much, brother! I really am very grateful! I can’t wait to see my Divine Instrument! We’ll chat later!
Chen Xiaobei pocketed his phone and retrieved the Green Jade Cauldron from the Infinite s.p.a.ce Ring.
The Sammei True Fire had already been put out. That meant that the Divine Instrument was complete, and being kept in its residual warmth.
“How exciting! This is the first my first time crafting a Divine Instrument! Now, let me take a good look at you!”
Chen Xiaobei rubbed his hands gleefully.
Whoosh
Bright light burst out of the cauldron and washed Chen Xiaobei’s room in a blood red light.
Inside the cauldron was a scroll, in which the bright red light had come from within it.
“Let me see…” Chen Xiaobei reached out and took out the scroll carefully. When his fingers brushed the scroll, he could not help but swallow.
Zing!
On the scroll were numerous terrifying spirit faces created by the red brilliance. Even though they were just illusions, they exuded a powerful evil aura!
It was as if hidden inside the painting, was a group of primordial ancient evils that came from the underworld. It was absolutely terrifying!
“What a powerful Spiritual Attribute! It’s even more powerful than the Thunder Pool Tesseract! I wonder what it really looks like!”
Chen Xiaobei unfurled the scroll carefully.
As it was unrolled, instead of evil spirits with crimson robes, Chen Xiaobei saw a painting that was created by a couple of legendary painters – A Ride that Carries Victory!
At first glance, the painting looked very much like the draft.
But upon closer inspection, it was pretty obvious that the real painting was even more detailed, even more realistic. The portrayal of people on the painting no longer looked like it was being painted. The image of the general that was facing the hundreds of thousands of soldiers looked exactly like a real person. And his enemies exuded a strong murderous intent as well. It was as if they were going to kill hundreds of thousands of people and destroy everything that were on their path. This painting, in all honesty, looked a hundred times more impressive than the draft that Chen Xiaobei saw the last time.
“Phew!” Chen Xiaobei inhaled sharply. “This is just too scary!”
Chen Xiaobei’s pupils contracted, and his breathing stuttered.
Along with the growth of his body, all the suffering and tribulations that Chen Xiaobei had gone through had hardened his mental state so much so that he was no longer as easily as ruffled, and was able to welcome stark changes without getting affected!
But, right now, looking at the scroll of painting, Chen Xiaobei was gripped with a fear that sent an icy chill running down his spine.
He did not feel like that even when he was facing the 12 priests.
The terror the painting inflicted on the person looking at it was far beyond the prescence of a demiG.o.d. Even Chen Xiaobei was shaking like a leaf! Had the average person seen the picture, they would have been stricken with terror, losing all their desire to fight. Even before the battle started, they would have already lost all courage.
“Using this ‘A Ride that Carries Victory’ painting as the ‘jacket’ is the perfect pairing!” Chen Xiaobei was delighted. “There’s no way the enemies would dare lay eyes on this painting. It would be even more impossible for them to see though the Formation Core for the Thousand Spirits Formation! With that being said, I will be able to kill those demiG.o.ds with ease! No one in this world would be powerful enough to destroy this formation!”
By using the painting A Ride that Carries Victory as cover, which concealed the core of this Divine Instrument, the Thousand Spirits Formation was well hidden in the concealed s.p.a.ce.
Buzz…
Chen Xiaobei held it, and the blood-red light on the paining rose up like dancing flames.
The soldiers and the horses in the painting trans.m.u.ted into skeletal evil spirits!
The already frightening painting became an embodiment of pure horror.
It was not unlike the doors of h.e.l.l, where tens of thousands of evil armies charged forward from the sea of blood-red flames!
