I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 915: Chapter 480: Sun and Moon Essence Wheel (2)

Continuing, the artifact pattern gathered is the Yin Yang attribute - Two Elements, representing the convergence and fusion of Yin and Yang, which is the core part of the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel.

The next artifact pattern — Primordial,

...

Soon, on the surface of the round artifact embryo in the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, lines of artifact patterns appear one after another, 28 artifact patterns shining with spirit light, emitting the intertwining glow of Yin and Yang, like layers of Yin Yang patterns wrapping the artifact embryo tightly, gradually nurturing an Innate Artifact Spirit in the Yin Yang Array Formation.

Li Mu’s pre-designed and refined ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’ nurtured a powerful spiritual energy in the Artifact Refining Furnace, a force of Yin-Yang gradually taking form within, with an overwhelming presence, as if to tear through the void, stunning heaven and earth.

At this moment, within the Artifact Refining Room, a round wheel of alternating sun and moon leapt from the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, suspending in front of Li Mu, radiant with lights, interwoven with Yin and Yang, filling the entire Artifact Refining Room with a mysterious atmosphere.

However, the moment the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’ was born, an intangible powerful force penetrated the Treasure Mansion Space and locked onto it, emanating a majestic and terrifying aura.

Li Mu clearly sensed this aura and knew it was the Artifact Tribulation that Daoist Soldiers must experience when born. He couldn’t help but smile wryly, not expecting that his casual artifact refining this time would trigger an Artifact Tribulation.

The quality of the Yin Yang Essence Wheel is even higher than he anticipated.

Li Mu sighed helplessly, put away the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’, and his figure disappeared from the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, appearing on the Tribulation Crossing Platform in the Seven Profound Sect’s back mountain.

Soon, like hunting dogs that sensed a bone, the thunder tribulation quickly arrived, and the sky above the Tribulation Crossing Platform was soon filled with dark clouds, lightning, and rolling thunders, as waves of horrific Power of Heaven and Earth began to converge.

Meanwhile, the sect elders of the Seven-Element Sect also noticed the anomaly and rushed over with sword control from the seven main peaks.

”Which fellow disciple is undergoing tribulation, without notifying us in advance!”

”This thunder tribulation is no ordinary one!”

”Sect Master, who is crossing the tribulation? No, this isn’t a divinity transformation thunder tribulation, ..., this, it’s actually an artifact tribulation, Sect Master, you’ve refined a Daoist Soldier requiring tribulation!”

”Ha! This is the first time old man has seen a Daoist Soldier undergoing tribulation.”

...

The Seven-Element Sect elders, Fang Shixin, Qin Wentong, Zhong Zilin, appeared one after another next to Li Mu, staring intently at the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’ above the Tribulation Crossing Platform, extremely excited and engaged in lively discussion.

”You’re here! Watch the tribulation!”

Li Mu smiled helplessly at everyone and gestured.

Just as Li Mu’s voice fell, the might of the thunder tribulation in the sky increased again, seemingly in response to his nonchalant attitude; the Power of Heaven and Earth around the Tribulation Crossing Platform grew increasingly violent, with flashes of lightning and thunder, as if even space was being torn apart.

”This thunder tribulation is indeed extraordinary!” Qin Wentong’s eyes flashed with excitement, as the sect’s artifact refining master, he naturally knew that a Daoist Soldier capable of triggering such a powerful artifact tribulation must possess extraordinary quality and potential.

”Sect Master, is this Daoist Soldier something you’ve just refined?” Fang Shixin asked in surprise, greatly admiring Li Mu’s artifact refining ability, never doubting it, but never expecting the Sect Master to have reached such heights, to refine such a Top-Grade Daoist Soldier.

Daoist Soldiers that require artifact tribulation, and those that do not, are two levels of existence.

And those that require artifact tribulation are another level of existence. In their refining process, they integrate the Power of Heaven and Earth, establishing a subtle connection with it, thereby capable of triggering the test of thunder tribulation. These Daoist Soldiers not only possess excellent quality but infinite potential, capable of exhibiting unimaginable power in the hands of cultivators.

At this moment, the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’ suspended on the Tribulation Crossing Platform is a Top-Grade Daoist Soldier requiring artifact tribulation. Its surface flows with the light of the sun and moon, intertwining with Yin-Yang power, with each strike of tribulation thunder unable to inflict fatal harm, as if naturally possessing the ability to control thunder dao, holding the foundation to continue promoting in tiers.

In comparison, Daoist Soldiers that do not require artifact tribulation appear much less remarkable. Although they are also at the Daoist Soldier tier level, lacking connection with the Power of Heaven and Earth, their quality and potential naturally cannot be compared to the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’, nor can they continue to advance in tiers.

”Just a fluke.” Li Mu smiled lightly, using Divine Thought to control the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’, assisting in overcoming this artifact tribulation.

Above the Tribulation Crossing Platform, bolts of thick thunderbolts roared like giant dragons, charging towards the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’. Yet, the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’, as if possessing spiritual intelligence, continuously rotated and flashed under the thunderbolts’ attack, dissolving the Thunder Power with ease.

”Great!” Elder Zhong Zilin couldn’t help but exclaim, ”This ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’ is indeed extraordinary, able to dispel the thunder tribulation power so effortlessly!”

Li Mu’s mind was completely immersed in the confrontation with the thunder tribulation, now was not the time to relax. Only when the thunder tribulation completely ended could it be considered a real success in refining this Daoist Soldier.

Under the control of Li Mu’s Divine Thought, the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’ displayed its miraculous abilities amidst the tribulation thunder.

Its surface’s light of sun and moon swiftly flowed, with Yin-Yang power continuously reversing and transforming between the wheelpanes.

The ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’ pushed its Yin-Yang power to the extreme, with thunderbolt strikes on the wheelpanes, the frenzied thunder power was drawn by an invisible force, instantly decomposed into tiny thunderbolt particles, rapidly absorbed and transformed into the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’s strength under Yin-Yang power.

More than that, the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’ exercised the power to invert two elements, converting the frenzy and destructive intention within thunderbolt power into gentleness and vitality; each thunderbolt strike seemed to be expertly guided and converted into nourishment for its own growth by the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’.

The thunder tribulation in the sky also seemed to sense the resilience of the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’, each thunderbolt roaring down one after another; yet, under Li Mu’s manipulation, the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’ maintained a stable rotation throughout, dissolving the Thunder Power one by one.

As time passed, the power of thunder tribulation gradually waned, whereas the light of the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’ grew ever more brilliant, becoming an entity that couldn’t be destroyed by thunderbolts.

Finally, when the last thunderbolt dissipated in the sky, the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’ successfully overcame its artifact tribulation, flying swiftly to Li Mu’s front, its Yin Yang Wheel spiritually turned, displaying its strength and grandeur to everyone.

”Sect Master, congratulations on successfully refining such a powerful Daoist Soldier!” Fang Shixin was the first to step forward and congratulate, his eyes full of admiration: ”Not only does this Daoist Soldier possess excellent quality, but it also holds such miraculous abilities; promoting to the Tier Eight Dao Artifact is just around the corner!”

”Indeed! Sect Master, your Artifact Refining Skill advances further, having reached the pinnacle of perfection! Wonderful and worthy of celebration!” Qin Wentong admired as he looked at Li Mu, full of admiration.

As a fellow artifact refining master, having been guided by Li Mu several times, Qin Wentong still couldn’t cross that final crucial step, only able to watch Li Mu lead further ahead, his emotions at this moment indescribably complex.

”Elder Qin, the Path of Artifact Refining values the Heart Realm and insight.” Li Mu lightly smiled, seeing Qin Wentong’s heart realm, promptly reminding: ”Your skill has reached excellence; just quiet your mind, continue delving, and you’ll surely break through the bottleneck.”

Upon hearing this, a gleam of realization flashed in Qin Wentong’s eyes, bowing deeply to Li Mu, expressing gratitude: ”Thank you, Sect Master, for your guidance!”

At this time, the other elders also crowded forward, praising Li Mu’s accomplishments in artifact refining profusely.

Li Mu responded one by one, humble yet graceful, storing away the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’, bidding farewell to the elders, he flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Li Mu intended to keep the ’Sun and Moon Essence Wheel’, planning to retake refining for the three Daoist Soldiers commissioned by the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

In the next artifact refining, Li Mu planned to restrain his power pursuit, not to strive for extreme breakthroughs in the Path of Artifact Refining, but to emphasize the practicality of Daoist Soldiers, simplifying the complexity.
