In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

Chapter 62 Quasi-Emperor Stone Statue

Zhang Taichu's target was naturally the Quasi-Emperor statue. He had discovered it with his Origin Heaven Divine Eye when he entered the valley. After that, he waited for everyone to leave without making a sound. He liked to eat alone, and now his opportunity had come.

Zhang Taichu activated his Source Technique, causing the earth to churn and quickly creating a large crater. In the center of the crater stood a ghost-faced stone statue exuding a chilling aura and imperial might.

The terrifying pressure prevented Zhang Taichu and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi from getting close until they took out their sacred weapons.

"This is imperial might! Could this be an imperial weapon?!"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was greatly surprised. Relying on the holy power of the Holy Weapon Mirror, she took a few steps forward and approached the stone statue to examine it carefully.

At this point, Zhang Taichu began to explain the science.

"This is not an imperial weapon, but a forbidden artifact intended for quasi-emperors, yet its power is enough to suppress even a holy spirit!"

"Suppressing the Holy Spirit?!"

Everyone from Yaochi is sensitive to the concept of the Holy Spirit, since a female Holy Spirit resides within their sacred ground.

Now that they heard there was something that could suppress the Holy Spirit, they naturally paid extra attention.

"Wait a minute—I think I've seen something like this in the ancient texts of the Holy Land. It's called—the Ghost Stone Statue, right?"

"You actually know that?"

Zhang Taichu looked utterly astonished, while the Holy Maiden of Yaochi rolled her eyes at him.

"I am, after all, the Holy Maiden of the Holy Land and the future successor of Yaochi. I have some knowledge of this. Let me think, this should be a set of forbidden artifacts, namely a human stone statue, a ghost stone statue, an immortal stone statue, and a god stone statue."

"In total, there are nine in total. Each one is a large formation that can summon corresponding puppets to attack. This ghost statue should be able to control corpses and evil spirits. Only when all nine statues are gathered can the Holy Spirit be suppressed. Relying on just one is at most stronger than a holy weapon."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi is indeed very knowledgeable. In the original work, only the Black Emperor knew this, and even people with great backgrounds like the Holy Prince and Ji Ziyue did not know it.

"However, judging from the appearance of this ghost statue, it is already on the verge of breaking and will not last much longer."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was disappointed, but Zhang Taichu was not disappointed at all, because he had the ability to repair any magical artifact below the level of an Emperor Weapon. In fact, he was confident that he could even repair an Emperor Weapon after he had studied the Nirvana Mysteries more deeply in the future.

After all, he will be going to the ancient road of the human race to get the Demon Emperor Ruler, which is a standard imperial weapon. Whether he can become a Heavenly Dragon in the Shrouding Heaven depends entirely on it.

"I have my own way of getting this, but right now the priority is to repair the holy weapon, otherwise we'll have a hard time even getting close to it."

The biggest difference between forbidden artifacts and Dao soldiers is that they do not have a weapon spirit, which means that they are not intelligent enough and will emit pressure at any time.

The ghost stone before them resembled a forbidden artifact of the quasi-emperor level, meaning it constantly emitted the pressure of a quasi-emperor, something Zhang Taichu and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi could not withstand.

The best way is to store it in a sacred weapon and use the sacred weapon to suppress it, so that it won't hurt you.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi looked at the sacred weapon mirror above her head. This sacred weapon was damaged from the beginning, and when the Peacock King used the Azure Emperor Weapon to kill the giant centipede, the damage to the mirror was further aggravated, and now it is considered half-crippled.

"How are you going to cultivate this—this is Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold? Just how many kinds of immortal gold do you possess?"

Even the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, with her refined manners, exclaimed in surprise. Zhang Taichu held the Holy Weapon Mirror in one hand and a Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold the size of an egg in the other, and then used the Nirvana Profound Truth.

The entire Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold was enveloped by the Nirvana Flame, rapidly softening and eventually melting into liquid.

This is a good solution; if other flames were used to soften the immortal metal, it would be an enormous undertaking.

Under Zhang Taichu's control, the liquid Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold quickly flew towards the Sacred Weapon Mirror and then merged with it.

Just like when the Soul-Shaking Bell was repaired, the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold first repaired the cracks on the mirror surface before spreading it out to cover the entire mirror surface.

By this time, the fire of rebirth had enveloped the entire mirror, beginning its own unique rebirth.

"Okay, it will recover in a few days."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Taichu realized that Yaochi Saint was almost touching him, her beautiful and holy face right in front of him.

How many secrets do you still have?

"You want to know? You should know that secrets are a double-edged sword. The more you know, the greater the pressure you'll face. Do you really want to know?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi snorted.

"What will it take for you to tell me?"

"How about you give me a kiss?"

"Ah—you pervert!"

With a push from both hands, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi nearly sent Zhang Taichu flying a hundred and eight thousand miles away.

"Say it or don't, who cares? Humph!"

Zhang Taichu got up from the ground and brushed the dirt off his buttocks.

"The tsundere type isn't fashionable anymore; I still prefer the gentle type. Can you go back to being gentle?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi rolled her eyes at him, then took out the fragments of the broken bronze bell.

"Since you can repair it anyway, repair this holy weapon of mine as well."

Zhang Taichu took it casually, then took out a piece of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold and repeated the process.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was secretly shocked. She had only been testing him, but she hadn't expected that Zhang Taichu would actually have more immortal gold in his hands, and he didn't seem to care at all, as he clearly had more.

"I now strongly suspect that you robbed the tomb of some great emperor, otherwise where would you get so much immortal gold? Just these two pieces you just took out could have made a protective magic artifact, and you actually used them to repair a sacred weapon?"

Zhang Taichu responded while repairing the bronze bell.

"You don't understand, do you? Crafting a protective magic artifact is indeed important, but it can't be a trump card for survival. If you encounter a careless old man, not only will you lose the artifact, but you might also lose your life."

This can be seen in Ye Fan's case. Although the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron was made with the finest immortal materials, it did not play a significant role in Ye Fan's growth.

When you are weak in the early stages, activating the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron once will greatly deplete your magic power, making it impossible to use it frequently.

Besides, even if you use it, it can only deal with enemies of the same level. It won't be effective against those one or two major realms higher, and they might even get stolen from you.

In the middle stage, Ye Fan's main weapon was the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow obtained from Earth. It was a sacred weapon and had a special attack effect on the Golden Crow Clan.

After he became a Saint King, his weapons changed to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and the Immortal Ascension Cauldron. In other words, the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron only showed its power in the later stages, after Ye Fan became an emperor, especially in the final battle, when it shattered the Undying Heavenly Blade with a single blow.

But then again, once you've become an emperor, imperial weapons are just icing on the cake compared to a great emperor.

The truly useful tools are always those that far surpass one's own level of cultivation.

For example, those in the Dragon Transformation Realm use King-level weapons, Great Powers use Saint-level weapons, and Great Saints use Emperor-level weapons, which is why Zhang Taichu used Immortal Gold to repair Saint-level weapons as a trump card to save his life.

Of course, the most crucial reason is that Zhang Taichu is not lacking in immortal gold, which is why he dares to use it this way.

Even if someone else knew how important a sacred weapon was in the early stages, they wouldn't be willing to use immortal gold to repair it.
