Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Who Created This Method

Under the watchful eyes of the puzzled immortals, Yu Hua was intently refining artifacts, continuously melting the wujin ore in the cauldron using his watery fire Divine Skills.

As the melting was about to succeed, he became distracted with making hand seals, and a red bolt of lightning appeared above the arena.

Transform into blood Divine Skills?

The immortals once again looked on with amazement and turned their gazes toward the Stellar Lord of the Watery Virtue, Yu Yuan, as this was the Divine Skill he was adept at.

They didn’t understand why, at the crucial moment of artifact refining, Yu Hua was employing the Transform into blood Divine Skills.

Soon after, they saw Yu Hua continuously perform hand seals, and the red lightning transformed, astonishingly taking the form of a rune-like scarlet lightning talisman that flickered in the air.

But Yu Hua’s actions were far from over. He casted spell after spell of mana, conjuring a restriction out of thin air.

At this point, whether it was the disciples of the Chan Teaching, the multitude of monks from Buddhism, or the other immortals, they were all shaken. They finally understood that Yu Hua was using a completely new method of artifact refining.

Many experts adept in Artifact Refining were fully focused on watching, trying to figure out Yu Hua’s method of artifact refining.

"Hehe," Sun Wukong scratched his face and chuckled. Naturally, he had noticed the immortals’ intentions, but it wasn’t so simple.

Just like a Supernatural Spell, it couldn’t be learned simply by watching others use it.

For example, Traverse the Earth Golden Light would be useless to watch countless times without the method to cultivate it.

The same was true for the method of Artifact Refining: it wasn’t just a matter of casting spells and making hand seals on the surface—there were also the manipulations of mana, the power of the Primordial Spirit, as well as the Formation restrictions, flames, cauldron, timing, and so on—it was a profound skill combining all of these elements.

The method of refining a Spirit-guidance artifact, which he had created after consulting the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, was even harder to comprehend.

Previously, Yu Hua and his four disciples, including Wen Huang, had learned from him for quite some time before they barely managed to master it.

However, judging by the current situation on the arena, this fourth-generation disciple of the Intercept Sect seemed to have put in the effort and practice, and had essentially mastered the method of refining Spirit-guidance artifacts.

Yu Hua then used the power of the Primordial Spirit as the lead, merging the spirit pattern transformed through the Transform into blood Divine Skills with a restriction.

He swiftly made hand seals again, applying the Seal Impression Technique, infusing the merged spirit pattern and restriction into the cauldron.

Boom!

The cauldron, of Lesser Spiritual Treasure grade, shook violently and emitted a violent aura.

Yu Hua’s complexion changed, and he struggled to control it, finally stabilizing the cauldron.

The wujin ore, after being melted and shaped, had now become a long sabre with a reddish pattern. The spirit pattern flickered, giving the entire magical artifact a sense of spirit and charm.

At this moment, the immortals all fell silent, with only the rolling waters of the Heavenly River below roaring continuously.

The gods who came to attend the Martial Arts Tournament all possessed certain strength and status in the Three Realms, and they could naturally see that the long sabre refined by Yu Hua was a special magical artifact.

It was made from refining materials that contained no fragments of laws, yet the resulting artifact possessed the power of Divine Skills, and in particular, the power of the noteworthy Transform into blood Divine Skills.

Although Yu Hua had not yet shown the long sabre’s power, everyone knew that winning or losing no longer mattered.

Because the new method of artifact refining he had revealed was sufficient to bring an unprecedented revolution of magical artifacts to the Three Realms, enough to change the situation of the entire world!

The expressions of the Chan Teaching disciples like the Southern Extremity Longevity Star, Guang Chengzi, Real Man Tai Yi, and others became uglier. Even if the magical artifact refined by Yu Hua had only one restriction and wasn’t as good as Feng Huzi’s artifact with two restrictions, the Chan Teaching still lost.

Sorcerer Subhuti’s eyes flashed an indescribable expression, and Jin Chanzi’s eyes gleamed as if they were making some decision.

Zhao Gongming’s eyes bulged, and then he noticed that the Golden Spirit Mother had a calm expression, clearly having anticipated this.

"Hahaha, good, very good!" He laughed heartily, his voice echoing over the Heavenly River and breaking the silence.

As an old Quasi-Saint, Zhao Gongming was very clear about what Yu Hua’s revealed ability meant.

Take the Transform into blood Divine Skills, for example; the reason Yu Yuan could refine the Transform into blood Divine Blade wasn’t just because he was skilled in Artifact Refining, but most importantly, the innate materials he used contained some fragments of laws related to the poison path of the Transform into blood Divine Skills.

Back then, limited by the materials, he could only refine a single Transform into blood Divine Blade.

And now, if the method of artifact refining shown by Yu Yuan were to be used, even more Blood Swords could be crafted!

"Senior Sister, is this a method Yu Yuan figured out?" Zhao Gongming asked, "Why did he hide it and not bring it out earlier?"

Before Jin Ling could respond, Zhao Gongming said to himself, "Right, if he had brought it out earlier, today wouldn’t be as thrilling."

"This method was not created by Yu Yuan," Jin Ling said.

"Could it be Yu Hua? Impossible!" Zhao Gongming couldn’t believe it.

"Always so dramatic, when will you ever be steady? Haven’t you suffered enough losses already?" Jin Ling frowned and scolded.

Zhao Gongming muttered a few words but didn’t argue back. In his heart, he still wondered how Yu Hua, with his meager talent for artifact refining, could possibly create a method that would send shockwaves through the Three Realms.

At this moment, Yu Hua presented the successfully refined saber on the stage and demonstrated it before the crowd.

The black saber with blood patterns turned into a streak of lightning, flitting and flashing through the sky above the Milky Way.

Though it harmed no one, many powerful beings present could discern its might.

Especially those who had witnessed the Blood Sword in action during the Divine Enthronement war, as Yu Hua had used that very sword to injure both Ne Zha and Lei Zhenzi. In the end, it was Yang Jian who, with the power of his profound arts, managed to block the sword and then, with a strategy and together with Lei Zhenzi, killed Yu Hua.

From this, one could see how formidable the Blood Sword was.

And the black saber with blood patterns refined by Yu Hua, though not as powerful as the true Blood Sword, still surpassed some of the inferior, low-grade postnatal Spiritual Treasures.

This once again shocked the immortals, as the material Yu Hua used for artifact refining was a piece of black gold ore containing no fragments of any laws, and he had used only one formation restriction during the refinement.

Compared to the artifact with two restrictions refined by Wind-bearded, naturally, Yu Hua’s saber came out on top!

"I concede," Wind-bearded said with a smile, thoroughly convinced.

For someone passionate about artifact refining, the opportunity to witness an innovation in the method of refining was satisfaction enough.

He then gave Yu Hua a respectful bow before stepping down from the stage.

At this moment, the winner of the artifact refining competition at the martial arts conference had been decided.

Seated in the place of honor, the Jade Emperor invited the winners of the Alchemy, Artifact, Talisman, and Formation competitions to come forward for their rewards.

The winners of alchemy, talisman, and formation each received a six-thousand-year-old Peach of Immortality, evoking the envy of all the immortals.

The Tribulation of Wind, Fire, Thunder and Lightning, which occurs every five hundred years, is a longevity tribulation that worries most immortals in the Three Realms. The Peaches of Immortality from the Jade Pool that can help them overcome these tribulations have become the treasures everyone dreams of.

Finally, everyone’s eyes once again focused on Yu Hua. They knew that this fourth-generation disciple from the Cut Teachings would receive an even greater reward.

The Jade Emperor said with authority, "Lonely Star Lord Yu Hua, as the victor in the artifact refining competition of the martial arts conference and the innovator of the artifact refining method, you have rendered great service to the Three Realms. With Heavenly Dao acknowledging this, I bestow upon you a Nine-Turn Golden Core..."

"Your Majesty, I cannot accept such a reward!" Yu Hua suddenly spoke up loudly.

"Hmm?" The Jade Emperor’s gaze fell upon him.

"I ask Your Majesty for discernment, the true innovator of the artifact refining method is another," Yu Hua said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, some of the strong beings present were not surprised, as they had guessed that Yu Hua might not be the creator of this method.

However, most of their gazes were on Southern Pole Immortal Yu Yuan, believing he had the highest probability of being the one.

The Jade Emperor then inquired, "Oh? And who might that be?"

Yu Hua did not dare to answer directly but instead looked around at those present.

After seeing Sun Wukong nod with a smile, his heart settled, and he respectfully said to the Jade Emperor, "Your Majesty, the one who created this method is none other than the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong!"

As his words fell, all the immortals were greatly astonished.
