A passing traveler through the heavens

In the world of artifact spirits, mastering the forging fragments and unique forging methods is essential for forging and repairing artifact spirits.

To create a weapon spirit, one must first select a weapon or tool that is highly spiritual and made of rare materials. For example, the Flame Spear Chongli and Phoenix Wood Ningyu, which the Seven Luminaries weapon spirits are attached to, are both powerful and extraordinary spiritual weapons, which are the foundation for the creation of weapon spirits.

In addition to the spirit weapon, a series of special materials are also required. Once the weapon is initially forged, a crucial spirit infusion ceremony must be performed, which is the core step in forging the spirit weapon.

The one who infuses spirit must possess powerful spiritual energy, but this was not a difficult task for Ji Lin.

The place for infusing spirits usually needs to be a place with abundant spiritual energy and a pure aura, such as a quiet and secluded ancient cave in the mountains, or a valley where spiritual energy gathers.

To enhance the effect of gathering spiritual energy, it is sometimes necessary to set up special formations or place specific items.

When performing a spirit-infusing spell, the spirit infuser must concentrate fully, focusing their spiritual power, and guide the spiritual power to slowly infuse the artifact through complex and varied specific hand gestures and mysterious and obscure incantations.

After the spirit infuses the artifact with the spirit power, the spirit infuser must use their own spiritual awareness to guide the flow of the spirit power within the artifact, so that it can perfectly blend with the artifact's material and the spiritual energy it originally contained, thereby shaping the prototype of the artifact's intelligence and consciousness.

This process is extremely critical, requiring the person infusing the spirit to be highly focused and precisely control the direction and intensity of the spiritual energy.

When the artifact begins to generate its own spiritual fluctuations and resonates with the spiritual power of the person who infuses it, the infusion process is initially completed.

However, this is not the end. The spirit infuser will need to continue to input a small amount of spiritual power to consolidate the spirit's intelligence and help it grow steadily.

It is worth noting that the spirit infusion process is fraught with risks.

If the person injecting the spirit has insufficient spiritual power or does not control it properly, they are very likely to suffer a backlash from the spiritual power injected into the spirit artifact, resulting in damage to their own spiritual power, reversed meridian flow, or even endangering their life.

If the spirit of a magical artifact is too strong and difficult to tame, or if the spirit-infusing process is interfered with by external forces, it may cause internal spiritual energy disorder, resulting in damage and breakage of the artifact, making it impossible to successfully nurture a spirit.

Fortunately, Ji Lin had the good fortune to obtain the spirit-infusing method passed down through generations of the Su family in the spirit world.

After several days of study, he has successfully modified the forging fragments of the Spirit World into a process that conforms to the Primordial World. Next, he will begin the forging of the Spirit.

Ji Lin sat cross-legged in the cave, calculating with his fingers, and selected an extremely auspicious day for forging the weapon spirit. Before that, he had to make thorough preparations…

On the night of the full moon a month later, Ji Lin keenly sensed in the cave that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth had suddenly become denser.

He immediately turned around and went to the stove that had already been set up.

At this moment, a raging fire was burning in the furnace. This fire was the Five Elements Fire condensed by Ji Lin. It was dazzlingly red and brightly orange, intertwined and leaping, releasing rolling heat waves that distorted the surrounding air.

Enveloped in flames, the two weapon embryos were faintly visible. Their originally rough texture gradually became soft and malleable under the high temperature, and their surfaces shimmered with a faint light, as if responding to the forging power of the flames.

Without delay, Ji Lin took out the Starry Sea Fan and instantly transformed it into the shape of the Fate Hammer Ling Xi.

The hammer, Lingxi, was heavy in his hands. The hammerhead gleamed with an ancient luster, and the handle was engraved with mysterious runes. Ji Lin gripped the handle tightly with both hands and swung it high. The muscles on his arms were taut, and the veins were slightly bulging. Every muscle contained powerful strength.

With a muffled thud, the hammer struck the weapon embryo heavily, the sound deep and powerful, echoing through the cave.

Sparks flew everywhere, like fireworks blooming in the night sky, brief yet dazzling.

Each hammer blow brings the embryo closer to the ideal weapon, leaving clear hammer marks on the metal surface, like the traces of time.

Once the weapon's prototype was initially formed, Ji Lin retrieved many precious materials from the system space.

These materials come in various shapes and sizes, including the flesh and blood obtained from the destruction of the three-headed dragon. The dragon's scales were as hard as iron, gleaming with a cold light in the firelight.

Ji Lin carefully placed the three-headed dragon's body and various materials into the furnace one by one. His movements were precise and smooth. Each time a material was added, the flames in the furnace would suddenly leap up, making a "whooshing" sound.

Subsequently, Ji Lin increased his magical power output.

He closed his eyes tightly, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and a faint halo emanated from his body, a sign of surging magical power.

As magic power was injected, the temperature in the furnace rose sharply, and the flames became even more violent, emitting a sharp howling sound.

Ji Lin used the Star Sea's forging and repairing abilities to integrate his own will and magic power, guiding various materials and weapon embryos to fuse together.

His spiritual senses, like a pair of invisible hands, moved through the furnace, meticulously sensing the changes in each material to ensure they were evenly blended together.

At the critical moment, Ji Lin mobilized his magic power and launched an attack at the cave wall.

The attack, carrying immense power, slammed into the wall like a cannonball, instantly blasting a gap in it. Moonlight shone through the hole in the wall, illuminating the cave and the nascent weapon in the furnace.

The soft moonlight and the blazing flames intertwined, creating a strange and wondrous sight.

Ji Lin used his mental power to move the weapon prototype out of the furnace and let it be bathed in moonlight. The weapon prototype trembled slightly under the moonlight, as if absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Lin held his breath and took out the Iron Book of Heaven from the system space.

Two faint blue lights rose from the cave, which were the souls of Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao. The blue light seemed to be real, drifting leisurely in the dim cave, exuding a sense of etherealness and mystery.

Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao's souls gradually solidified in the air. Although they had no physical form, their presence could be clearly felt.

Their eyes met, and then they both nodded slightly to Ji Lin. This seemingly simple gesture was full of weighty entrustment.

Ji Lin understood immediately, and stretched out his hands. A warm and gentle light slowly emanated from his palms, gently enveloping the souls of Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao.

Then, he slightly raised his arm and very slowly sent the souls of the two people into the two weapons respectively.

After doing all this, Ji Lin took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, to calm the turmoil in his heart. He once again firmly grasped the Life Hammer Lingxi, which was transformed from the Star Sea Fan.

At this moment, the Fate Hammer gleamed with an eerie light in the cave, resonating with the surrounding spiritual energy.

Ji Lin swung the hammer and smashed it heavily against the weapon. Each strike was accompanied by a special power fluctuation that was almost visible to the naked eye.

Just then, the world outside the cave seemed to be stirred up by an invisible giant hand.

First, several thunderclaps boomed loudly, the sound deafening, as if they were about to shatter everything in the world. Then, a large mass of inky black clouds gathered from all directions at an extremely fast speed, instantly covering the sky above the cave.

In the clouds, electric snakes darted and intertwined wildly, and blinding flashes of lightning, like sharp blades, mercilessly ripped through the thick night.

In an instant, the entire world was illuminated as bright as day, and the intense light even shone through the cracks in the cave, casting interlacing shadows of light and shadow inside.
