I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

"The method of Refinement, you may consult with Fang Hao. The difference is trivial, the core of it is nothing but utilizing Extreme Soul for Refinement, finding the materials for the Divine Weapon yourself."

"An Extreme Soul Divine Weapon can be continuously improved. The longer it is nurtured, the stronger it becomes, and it can advance as your strength increases."

Jiang Buping was immensely captivated; an Extreme Soul Divine Weapon was such a profound and potent existence.

However, the required materials for Refinement were generally scarce, belonging to the kind that related to the Divine Soul, naturally rare.

"This is the Extreme Soul Martial Arts Manual. Study it carefully, especially comprehend how to Refine an Extreme Soul Divine Weapon."

Li Xuan pointed with his finger, transmitting the Extreme Soul Martial Arts Manual directly into Jiang Buping's Divine Soul.

"Yes, Master!"

Jiang Buping had only skimmed through the manual briefly when he became incredibly excited. The Extreme Soul Martial Arts Method and the Extreme Soul Martial Arts Divine Skill were both so mystical and powerful.

Let alone mastering them all, just understanding one or two would considerably enhance his strength.

Afterward, Jiang Buping began to seek guidance from Fang Hao on the basic methods of Artifact Refining; although it was refined with Extreme Soul, the Refinement method wasn't much different from conventional Artifact Refining techniques.

And in Artifact Refining, who could surpass Fang Hao?

"Refining, in fact, is also very mystical. I too, as your senior brother, have only made minor achievements in Refining. However, the method of Refining your Divine Weapon, which relies on Extreme Soul, is not something an outsider can help with, but the Refining method is also key to the strength or weakness of a Divine Weapon.

"The strength of a Divine Weapon depends on many factors. I will impart to you what's most vital, yet also most fundamental. As long as you grasp this method, you will understand how to continuously Refine and enhance your Divine Weapon..."

Fang Hao began to impart the Refinement techniques to Jiang Buping, modifying them to suit the characteristics of the Extreme Soul Divine Weapon, and tailored them to be more suitable for Jiang Buping.

Having taught Jiang Buping how to Refine artifacts, Fang Hao then helped him select materials suitable for Refining his Extreme Soul Divine Weapon.

Now, Fang Hao was in no lack of Refining materials; even the rarest materials were available to him, given that the three great forces of the Qinghua state and the various Immortal Heavenly Venerables all sought his services, offering rare materials when asking him to Refine Divine Weapons.

At this stage, Jiang Buping did not need to worry about materials, enough for him to Refine his Extreme Soul Divine Weapon. As for further nurturing and upgrading the weapon, that would be up to him.

But as long as the foundation of the Divine Weapon was there, the rest would be much simpler.

After obtaining materials for Refining the Divine Weapon, Jiang Buping resumed his closed-door cultivation, studying the Extreme Soul Martial Arts Manual and practicing the Extreme Soul Martial Arts Divine Skill, while simultaneously pondering how to Refine his own Extreme Soul Divine Weapon.

Meanwhile, Fang Hao became busy as well; with the Divine Realm about to descend into chaos, and with him managing the Qinghua state, it was time to take more action, all while preparing to enhance his power.

He practiced Qimen Martial Art, which has a unique cultivation method, and the Path of Formation was reaching a stage that called for further advancement.

"The Communication Talisman's range is ultimately too limited. However, crafting a new one, capable of transmitting across the entire Domain, across the entire Divine Realm, is not a big issue."

Fang Hao started with refining an upgraded version of the Communication Talisman.

How to extend the Communication Talisman's range?

There is only one way: to use the Heaven and Earth Laws as the foundation for transmission.

A higher level of talisman would be based on Dao Principles, but at this stage, Fang Hao could not Refine such a talisman.

Yet using the Heaven and Earth Laws as a foundation was within his capabilities now.

"Heaven and Earth Laws regulate the Domain. Even the Immortal Heavenly Venerable or even mightier beings cannot destroy them. Using these laws to transmit messages..."

The more Fang Hao thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Among the multitude of Heaven and Earth Laws, he selected one and, using its essence, infused it into the Communication Talisman to serve as the talisman's bridge.

This way, the Communication Talisman's transmission range would inevitably expand significantly.

After successfully refining the new Communication Talisman, Fang Hao began planning for the next phase. He already had a plan.

To set up a Great Formation that would envelop the entire Qinghua state.

Or rather, to use the entire Qinghua state as the foundation of the Great Formation.

"Once a fragment of the Great Formation is established, it will be the time of a major surge in my strength, comparable to the Void-breaking Realm, right?"

Fang Hao was thrilled at the prospect.

However, to set up such a Great Formation, he would need the cooperation of the three great forces and the three Emperors of Da Yue.

"As the chaos in the Divine Realm begins, to ensure the stability of the Qinghua state, it is necessary to set up this Great Formation. And once it's complete, the Heavenly Grotto will no longer be a threat.

"Enemies from beyond the heavens, upon entering the Qinghua state, will be struck down by the Great Formation. Could a Great Formation grounded in the Qinghua state be something that warriors at the Immortal Heavenly Venerable Realm can withstand?"

Fang Hao felt that Emperor Da Yue and others would likely support his decision. With the assistance of the three major powers, completing the Great Formation was merely a matter of time.

The materials required to set up the Great Formation were extremely vast, and it also concerned his own Domain Qimen. He intended to integrate Domain Qimen into the Great Formation.

Using the Qinghua state Domain as the board!

The more Fang Hao thought about it, the more excited he became. Visions of the Qinghua state transforming into his own Domain Incredible Formation filled his mind. Once successful, within the Qinghua state, he could control the Domain Qimen with a mere wave of his hand and effortlessly eliminate Immortal Heavenly Venerables.

Of course, once the Great Formation was completed, he could control the entire Qinghua state Domain. The fact that he would use the Qinghua state Domain as the board of the Incredible Formation could not be revealed to Emperor Da Yue and the others, otherwise, the Immortal Heavenly Venerables, feeling threatened, would never agree.

Even with the deterrence of his master, they would not assist sincerely, and might even intentionally create flaws.

"Each Immortal Heavenly Venerable needs to be given an Array Plate, especially Emperor Da Yue and his three people, who will certainly demand to maintain an advantage in strength. That is not difficult."

"How can I make them work harder, though?"

Fang Hao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It seemed to Immortal Heavenly Venerables as if they had reached the pinnacle of cultivation, but what realm lies above the Immortal Realm?

If, after setting up the Great Formation, there was an opportunity to break through the Immortal Realm, would they work even harder?

"What lies above the Immortal Realm, and how does one cultivate it?"

With these questions, Fang Hao sought out Feng Yan.

"What realm lies above the Immortal Realm?"

Feng Yan blinked and scratched his head, saying, "I don't really know. Immortals, unless killed by someone, do not have the worry of life span. As for what's beyond Immortality, I'm clueless as well."

He paused for a moment, then added; "I only have a vague concept, which could be to merge with the Domain? The true merging with the Domain, not the Immortal Realm's union with the Domain, where one commands a part of the Domain.

"After all, the union with the Domain in the Immortal Realm is not truly one with the Domain. But how to truly merge with the Domain is still too far for me to grasp. Even Emperor Da Yue has not been able to touch upon it at the moment.

"Moreover, whether the Spirit Mechanism of the Divine Realm is sufficient to support a Martial Artist merging with the Domain is also an unknown."

Fang Hao pondered, merge with the Domain?

Since Feng Yan couldn't provide a clear explanation, he had to ask his master.

Li Xuan, of course, did not know what realm lies above the Immortal Realm, but as an extraordinary expert, how could he not be aware?

Moreover, although he didn't know what realm lies above the Immortal Realm, he had a certain understanding of the cultivation above the Immortal Realm based on his knowledge of Taicang Martial Arts.

Li Xuan had also heard what Feng Yan just said. The breakthrough above the Immortal Realm is to merge with the Domain?

"Immortal Realm is united with the Domain, commanding one part of the Domain, but this kind of command is ultimately an external force form of control. However, to merge with the Domain is truly becoming one with the Domain…"

Li Xuan murmured to himself.

What is the purpose of merging with the Domain, which lies above the Immortal Realm?

Naturally, it is to condense the Dao Principles and comprehend the Rhythm of Dao. This must be the cultivation beyond the Immortal Realm.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan spoke with a smile, "Above Immortality is nothing more than comprehending Dao Principles and gathering the power of Dao Principles.

What you have to do is to use the Great Formation to harness the Rhythm of the Domain Dao Principle, enhance the Domain Lingji, so that under the Great Formation, it is easier for Immortal Heavenly Venerables to cultivate, thus giving them a chance for breakthrough."

Li Xuan did not specify what realm lies above the Immortal Realm, as he did not know either, but it did not prevent him from giving Fang Hao tips on how to make a group of Immortal Heavenly Venerables work hard.

"Rhythm of Dao Principles?"

Fang Hao pondered.

"The robe is enveloped in a wisp of the Rhythm of Dao Principles."

Li Xuan pointed out.

"Master, I understand now!"

Fang Hao's eyes lit up. He realized how to harness the Rhythm of Dao Principles—wasn't there an inducement? Although it might not be possible for a while, when the Great Formation was fully set up and finally completed, it would certainly be achievable.

Finally, he had a goal to make Emperor Da Yue and the other Immortal Heavenly Venerables work hard.
