From Covering the Sky, I Became a Transcendent

Chapter 6: Building Instruments
The other shore realm is the last small realm of the Wheel Sea Secret Realm, and it is also a realm of transformation.

It is said that the ancient mighty ones who cultivated in the secret realm of Wheel Sea alone would experience a transformation of nine lives and nine deaths in this realm. As soon as they came out of the realm, clouds would move in all directions and strange phenomena would soar into the sky, which were comparable to the ancient sages.

But cultivating only one secret realm is never perfect. Although such a person is powerful and can found a great sect, he has no hope of achieving enlightenment in his lifetime.

A normal cultivator also needs to undergo nine transformations in this realm and be reborn, only then can he complete his wheel of reincarnation and move on to the next secret realm.

After Si Chen spent some time consolidating his cultivation, he decided to make a concerted effort to complete the cultivation of the entire Lunhai Secret Realm. Anyway, he had nothing to do and he was still young, and those old men were unwilling to let him out.

One by one, the pure sources burst and transformed into sufficient life essence to help him practice.

A few days ago, Si Chen was enveloped in golden light, and the wheel sea was filled with strange phenomena and vitality.

In the next few days, his body lost its luster, his muscles shriveled, and his spiritual power began to dry up.

Later, his internal organs also stopped functioning, and he became lifeless. His bones turned gray and no longer clean and white, as if they were about to decay and die.

This is the transformation of the other shore realm.

Upon reaching the other side, the monk's flesh, blood, internal organs and bones will all wither, and then a different kind of rebirth will take place, with nine consecutive blood transfusions and bone transformations to complete the transformation.

After a long time, his body began to emanate vitality again. Endless light bloomed, his essence, blood and bones were regenerated, his heart began to beat again, and his whole body was rejuvenated.

But soon, this vitality dimmed again, and the flesh and bones all over the body fell into a state of death again, which was more intense than the first time.

Si Chen had to go through this kind of transformation nine times, which took more than half a year. It was a very painful thing that ordinary people could not endure.

After the ninth transformation, Si Chen opened his eyes, and the majestic holy power of the sun surged out of his body. He had cultivated to the peak of the Wheel Sea Secret Realm, and his strength had been greatly improved.

He did not plan to enter the Taoist Palace right now. He planned to stop and calm down for a while.

Practicing too fast is not a good thing. The old man in gray robe told him that there was a person on the ancient star Ziwei who turned into a dragon at the age of ten. He was extremely talented and this speed was beyond the reach of even the young emperor. However, this person was later trapped at the second level of immortal and could not make any progress. It was a pity.

"You can consider refining equipment now."

Si Chen looked inward at the Sea of ​​Bitterness and saw hundreds of divine patterns hovering above it. These divine patterns were more than enough for him to refine the weapon in his mind.

Monks can sacrifice the "divine runes" into various shapes, such as flying knives, daggers, etc., which can be released outside the body to kill the enemy. This is more effective than simple "divine runes". Some people will spend a lot of time and effort to transform the original "divine runes" into flying swords, small shields, divine halberds, etc., which are easier to control and will be much more powerful when used against the enemy.

Some people are not afraid of complexity and mystery, and repeatedly refine the "divine patterns" and sacrifice them into "tripods", "bells" or "towers", etc., which can exert various mysterious powers.
It is recorded in the notes of ancient sages that the "trajectory of Tao" is intertwined within the above three instruments, and the hope may be greater.

Of course, the probability of this happening is very low, and only those monks who are gifted and extremely powerful can have this opportunity.

The more mysterious and complex the instruments are, the more difficult they are to form; they contain the "Tao" and "principle" of heaven and earth.

It is recorded in the Emperor's Scripture that there are four major realms in the secret realm of the Wheel of Bitterness, the Fountain of Life, the Divine Bridge, and the Other Shore. In each realm, one can sacrifice a kind of instrument, or choose a instrument to break all laws and devote all his heart to creating one.

The "True Scripture of the Sun" highly praises the "tower" because the emperor's weapon of the Holy Emperor of the Sun is a stone tower, and its shape is recorded on it, making it convenient for future generations to copy.

Si Chen had a unique idea. He did not plan to refine just one weapon, but three.

As a monk with aspirations and aesthetics, he would definitely not choose weapons like "flying knives" or "daggers", which are too ordinary.

First of all, the most suitable weapon for the Chaos Body is undoubtedly the 'Pearl'. The Chaos Pearl is perfect and flawless, born naturally. This thing is not suitable for fighting, but it can be used as a weapon to prove the Dao and carry one's own Dao. Then it is necessary to refine another weapon to protect the Dao and kill. Si Chen chose the 'Halberd'.

The halberd has a long handle and double blades, and is a very handsome weapon. The ancients not only used it in wars, but also used it as a ceremonial weapon.

Like the Lu Bu described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he used the Fang Tian Hua Ji, and there is also the allusion of shooting the halberd at the gate.

There don't seem to be many Supremes who use the 'halberd', but that doesn't stop Si Chen from wanting to refine it.

Si Chen had liked this kind of weapon very much in his previous life and had observed it carefully, so it was not difficult for him to construct a prototype using the divine patterns.

He decided to polish these two tools first, so he immediately mobilized the divine patterns and began to forge them in the sea of ​​suffering.

It is not easy to refine the original "divine pattern" into a weapon. It is a difficult and long process and cannot be achieved overnight.

First of all, we must determine the shape of the "tool" and imprint it firmly in our hearts. In the future, we will use it as a reference to refine it without allowing any flaws.

This was actually very mentally taxing. The halberd was fine and not difficult to shape, but the Chaos Bead was different. No matter how much Si Chen forged it, he was not satisfied. He always felt that something was missing. To put it bluntly, it was not "round".

The circle represents the heaven, earth, universe and stars. Legend has it that Pangu created the world by breaking a circle and shattering a spherical space. This was the initial evolution process of chaos. The circle represents infinity and eternity.

A whole day passed, and Si Chen tried several times but still couldn't achieve perfection. He tried various methods, but in the end he still felt it was not round enough.

It’s not the roundness of the shape, but the “Chaos Pearl” he carved lacks some charm.

He does not have a sufficient understanding of the Tao rhythm represented by "circle".

In other words, this bead is of great significance and is not so easy to cast.

This is normal. After all, he is only eight years old and has only been on the path of cultivation for more than a year. Even if he is extremely powerful, it is impossible for everything to go smoothly for him.

"Perhaps another blessing is needed to make this device perfect?" Si Chen could only pause and turn to polish the third device.

The third tool he chose was a plate. Yes, the template was exactly the mysterious ancient plate above his Sea of ​​Bitterness. This plate had a great cause and effect relationship with him, so there would be no harm in carving this object.

The result was unexpectedly smooth. Upon closer observation, the outline of a plate soon appeared. However, he was unable to copy the ancient characters on it, so it only had the shape.

At least two of the three instruments have been refined, but if one wants to make the 'instruments' more powerful, it is definitely not enough to just use divine patterns to refine them, especially the Chaos Pearl, which requires the addition of some special materials.

Next up is the Nine Heavens Divine Jade series, which are saint-level refining materials and are not rare. At least the Ancient Sun Sect has no shortage of them.

But for Si Chen, who has the potential to attain enlightenment, using this as an instrument embryo to accompany him in comprehending the great Dao of heaven and earth is undoubtedly a waste of his talent.

Therefore, they could only use better materials, which were the Nine Immortal Golds. But the problem was that the Ancient Sun Sect did not have this top-grade immortal material.

This kind of magical material is hard to come by and depends entirely on luck.

Not to mention the Ancient Sun Sect, some emperors, after achieving enlightenment, were unable to refine imperial weapons because they could not find immortal gold and had to fight with their bare hands.
