Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 30: The Chaotic Ancient Demon Embryo Scripture

Li Chunfeng boarded the flying boat returning to Jiecheng and arrived in just half a day.

Along the way, we saw many infrastructure projects underway in this foreign land, including signal towers, defense arrays, and road transport.

The consistent policy of the Earthly Realm is: to take steady steps, occupy one area at a time, and consolidate it.

Now that they have established a firm foothold in the Ghost Realm, there is no reason for them to withdraw easily.

It's clear that the airship routes taking off from Jiecheng are still very busy, and the situation at the front remains tense. Fortunately, Jiecheng is protected by two massive mountain ranges located in the Grand Canyon, making it a natural barrier and also situated in the rear area.

Perhaps the front lines are already engulfed in gunfire, but he in the rear cannot feel it for the time being.

At Song Zhijie's equipment repair shop, Old Song took out his most treasured spirit wine today to celebrate Li Chunfeng's birthday.

Neither of the two men were talkative, and they couldn't bring themselves to offer flowery toasts. Instead, they expressed their feelings through the drinks. So, even though it was just the two of them and no one was urging them to drink, they kept raising their glasses, creating the feeling of a large group of people clinking glasses at a banquet.

Finally, Song Zhijie collected the last remaining wine jar.

"Alright, you've only just entered the Bone Strengthening Realm, let's call it a day. Don't waste the spirit wine, go back and consolidate your strength. We can talk about anything else tomorrow."

"it is good."

The spirit wine was potent, and Li Chunfeng was indeed a little tipsy. If he drank any more, he might embarrass himself.

The next day, he handed the 'Hundred-Man Killing Blade' to Song Zhijie.

After examining it with his professional eye, Song Zhijie said, "It's a rare first-tier demonic weapon, but its excessive baleful aura makes it unsuitable for cultivators. When you swing it, it will impact your spiritual power, causing unnecessary additional consumption, so it's not suitable for cultivators."

Li Chunfeng nodded, agreeing completely with his experience.

"Would it be useful to Uncle Song?"

Song Zhijie said, "There are many ways to condense evil energy in demonic weapons. The martial artists in the Boundary City are diverse, and there are quite a few who practice demonic arts. This demonic weapon is superior because it is a natural creation, so it will sell very well. Shall I help you sell it?"

"Then give it to Uncle Song."

Li Chunfeng was about to become rich, so he didn't care about this small amount of money.

Song Zhijie glanced at him, said nothing, and placed the demonic weapon at the front of the weapon rack.

"How was your initial tribulation assessed? When is the next Abyss Tribulation approaching, and do you have any follow-up plans?"

Li Chunfeng didn't hide anything, "It's a super-god-level evaluation. The next Abyss Tribulation is in three months, so time is still quite tight. I plan to return to the Earthly Realm to prepare for the exam after I survive the second Abyss Tribulation. I'll have to trouble Uncle Song during this time."

“It’s not a problem. I have no experience taking care of people either. You’re so young but very independent. I didn’t help you much… Wait, what was your evaluation just now?” He suddenly realized and added with a surprised look.

"It's godlike."

Song Zhijie was momentarily stunned, and after a long while, he said, "You're the genius who received the God-like rating and manifested on the Zed Ranking in Canyon City, as rumored online a few days ago?"

"That happened four days ago. Yesterday, another genius appeared on the list of those who had been challenged. I am not the only one."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhijie was once again in a daze. A few days ago, the Super God Ranking appeared in Canyon City, which was very popular on the Internet. Even though he didn't go online much, he had followed the gossip for quite a while.

After all, there are tens of millions of cultivators in the Earthly Realm, and only a very small number of geniuses can be listed on the Super God Tribulation Ranking.

I remember Yan Liguang once told him that Li Chunfeng was a war orphan. It was precisely because his family had no connections and little wealth, and he was all alone and helpless when he went out to gain experience, that he asked Yan Liguang to take care of him. But Yan Liguang never told him that Li Chunfeng was a genius!

Seeing Li Chunfeng's calm and collected expression, he finally accepted the fact that the internet bombshell had actually happened right next to him.

A smile, as if he'd scared a child to tears, involuntarily appeared on his face. "Okay, okay!"

"If I had known this would happen, I should have had a few more drinks yesterday."

Li Chunfeng laughed and said, "Uncle Song, it's not too late to drink after I've survived the second tribulation."

"Then it's a deal. Is there anything I can help you with since you're back this time?"

Taking advantage of the situation, Li Chunfeng brought up the important matter, "There is indeed something I'd like to ask Uncle Song for help with." Song Zhijie's expression turned serious, "Go ahead."

Li Chunfeng then put forward his request, wanting Song Zhijie to help him forge a special battle axe.

This is in preparation for cultivating the "Chaotic Ancient Demon Embryo Scripture".

Although he only obtained the first three levels of this scripture, Li Chunfeng benefited immensely from it.

The Chaotic Ancient Demon Embryo Scripture is the supreme martial arts classic of the Chaotic Ancient World. The first three levels of the technique are enough to lay a solid foundation for his physical body to reach the third realm.

In the chaotic ancient world, the highest realms are those of the Great Emperor and the Buddha.

Unlike other young emperors who were all invincible among their peers, Chaotic Ancient Buddha was an anomaly.

He came from Luan Gu Temple and was exceptionally talented from a young age, highly regarded and expected to succeed by his elders. However, his life was full of hardships, with repeated defeats that left him disheartened and despondent.

However, he had a great opportunity, having successively obtained the inheritance of several Great Emperor's cultivation techniques and scriptures. After reading through many imperial scriptures, he was born from a hundred defeats and a demonic embryo was born. Later, he severed my Mingdao sword, broke free from his cocoon and was reborn. From then on, the demonic embryo was fully formed, defeated all his former opponents, and finally attained the Buddha's fruition.

This process may seem trivial, but it is actually extremely brutal.

When Li Chunfeng received the scripture transmission of the "Chaotic Ancient Demon Embryo Scripture," he also learned about the life of the Chaotic Ancient Buddha from the perspective of the young monk Duzhu's memories, through his master's words.

I have great admiration for this ancient Buddha whom I have never met.

It must be understood that sometimes defeat is not something that can be resolved simply by saying "I admit defeat, you win." Defeat comes with consequences. These consequences include separation by death, the loss of a beautiful woman, the tragic death of a loved one, the annihilation of a master, the loss of all friends... and many other tragedies that are difficult for outsiders to comprehend.

That is why he was able to struggle and refuse to give in even after a hundred defeats, because he was unwilling to accept defeat and had to rise up.

Other emperors were undefeated throughout their lives, but the Ancient Buddha of Chaos suffered defeat after defeat, almost to the point of losing his Dao heart.

Yet he was able to break free from his cocoon and be reborn, slaying my Mingdao, which further highlights the extraordinary nature of the Ancient Chaos Buddha.

In the first three levels of the "Chaotic Ancient Demon Embryo Scripture," there is also a set of axe techniques and a divine weapon forging method, called "Chaotic Ancient Axe Technique" and "Chaotic Ancient Battle Axe."

Unlike ordinary divine weapons, the Chaotic Ancient Battle Axe has two forms: one is an ethereal divine talisman, and the other is an axe that can destroy anything.

It is a divine weapon that can grow stronger.

When refined to its ultimate state, it can transform between the ethereal divine talisman and the void-breaking divine axe, refining all things and even cleaving the void of the universe.

This battle axe is closely related to him personally, and Li Chunfeng must find a reliable person to forge it.

His network of contacts was limited, and among the weapon-making masters he knew, only Song Zhijie was someone he could trust.

Although he didn't have much contact with Song Zhijie, some people have this quality: once you've met him and spent a short time with him, you're willing to trust him.

After listening to Li Chunfeng's methods of military strategy, Song Zhijie fell into deep thought.

"This is the method for forging growable divine and demonic weapons. The forging of growable weapons is also a discipline that requires in-depth study in the field of weapon forging."

"As far as I know, the research on this kind of weapon-forging method is a key supported project in the three major academies, the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Dao Palaces, the one hundred and eight Dao Academies, and even many martial arts academies in the world."

"The most distinctive feature of this type of weapon is its spirituality. There are also many research challenges, such as low growth potential, insufficient stability, difficulty in controlling the probability of generating spirituality, and inability to achieve mass production, etc."

"The method of forging this battle axe of yours was clearly obtained from outside. Many of the materials used for forging weapons have disappeared or are of a completely different kind in this world. We can only slowly verify them with the materials in this world to find alternative materials. This will inevitably involve materials science, and we may not be able to find them."

He said a lot, but Li Chunfeng only seemed to understand. "Uncle Song, do you think this weapon can be successfully forged if all the materials are available?"

“I have examined it. Most of the materials used to forge this battle axe can be found or have substitutes in the Earthly Realm, but the Demonic Embryo Iron, one of the core main materials, is unheard of. I analyze that the main function of the Demonic Embryo Iron is to contain many materials, and it is also the key factor that enables this battle axe to generate spirituality, making it irreplaceable.”

"I will write to my supervisor later to ask him to help demonstrate the feasibility of casting and try to find a substitute with similar performance. The process will be quite complicated."

Magical Iron!
Li Chunfeng remembered this material and planned to go to Yuancheng to look for it.

If there really isn't one, he won't be stubborn.
