First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 131: The Embryo of the Big Dipper Sword

The perfect Big Dipper Sword Formation requires the refinement of seven Dao swords, namely Tianji, Yaoguang, Kaiyang, Yuheng, Tianquan, Tianxuan, and Tianshu.

Shen Mo currently lacks the extremely elemental materials, so he can only create the prototype of the Dao swords for now.

He aims to first refine the seven sword embryos so that he can still use them for offense and defense after setting up the sword formation.

In the future, he can slowly refine and imbue various attributes, allowing them to continuously transform into finished Dao swords. At that time, he may be able to reproduce the magnificent style of the old man with white beard who "exterminated demons" with the Big Dipper.

Star Peak, Forge Hall.

Shen Mo is not the first time he has come to enjoy the benefits of the disciples in the peak, so he is familiar with the place.

"The Big Dipper Dao swords are only about an inch long, and ten jin of Heavenly God Iron is enough for me to try forging multiple times."

Different from swords like the Dragon Sparrow Sword, the Big Dipper Sword is specialized in formation deployment and serves as the core of the sword formation, so its shape is very unique.

Each Dao sword is only as long as a finger.

It is not convenient to fight against enemies with just one sword, but only when the seven swords are used together to set up the sword formation can their power be fully displayed.

However, there are unexpected benefits to this.

For example, when refining the prototype of the Dao swords, there is no need to consume a large amount of Heavenly God Iron.

The amount of raw materials Shen Mo obtained from the auction in Jiyun Town is enough for him to refine the sword embryos thirty times.

This made him suspect that it was precisely because the price of Heavenly God Iron was high that the big shots who created the sword formation or later cultivators tried their best to reduce the size of the seven Dao swords.

"Let's begin!"

Shen Mo suppressed his stray thoughts and silently said.

He took out the Heavenly God Iron and placed it in the forge furnace, activating the earth fire.

The deep blue flames burned fiercely, constantly licking the dark black ore.

The grade of Heavenly God Iron is not inferior to the Tai Xuan Gold Stone that Shen Mo brought out from the Mountain and River Realm.

After two and a half hours of burning, the Heavenly God Iron gradually turned red, with a dark red color all over, like magma flowing out of a volcano.

Seeing this, Shen Mo immediately activated his spiritual power and took it out.

He also took out the Dragon Sparrow Sword and quickly slashed it towards the red-hot and softened Heavenly God Iron.

"Clang clang clang!"

Soon, the whole piece of ore was evenly divided into more than thirty pieces.

"If it weren't for the assistance of the earth fire, it would be difficult to cut this piece of Heavenly God Iron! Even the Dragon Sparrow Sword would suffer some damage when striking such a precious material."

"When the Dragon Sparrow Sword was promoted before, even if the promotion failed, it only wasted some inexpensive auxiliary ores."

"But it's different when forging the Big Dipper Sword embryos. Once the forging fails, the Heavenly God Iron will become worthless scrap iron along with other ores!"

"I can't refine the whole piece of Heavenly God Iron in one go!"

Shen Mo glanced at the Destiny Panel.

[Owner of Destiny: Shen Mo]

[Cultivation: Second Layer of Qi Gathering Realm]

[Talisman Dao: (Second Grade) 1120/3000]

[Pill Dao: (Second Grade) 1211/3000]

[Forge Dao: (First Grade) 987/1000]

In terms of forging, he is not far from advancing to the second grade.

Even if he fails a few times in the early stage, he can still improve his forging skills through the experience of failure.

The small piece of Heavenly God Iron that was cut off was put back into the forge furnace. As the ore was heated and turned red again, it gradually melted into a sticky iron liquid.

Then, Shen Mo successively put in the prepared Tian Geng ore, Qilin ore, and other auxiliary ores, melting them one by one and infusing them into the iron liquid transformed from the Heavenly God Iron.

"Melt!"

Shen Mo's expression became solemn as he quickly formed a series of forging seals in his hand.

These are mainly the commonly used seals for casting, supplemented by the techniques for refining the Big Dipper Dao swords recorded on the jade slip of the sword formation.

"Gudong!"

"Gudong gudong!"

The mixed iron juice seemed to be boiling, constantly surging and rolling.

Puluulu!

Accompanied by a strange sound, the iron juice in the forging furnace suddenly condensed into a lump, turning into a dark mass of impurities.

[You attempted to use Divine Iron of Heaven, Tian Geng ore, Spirit Awakening Iron, and Mica Gold Essence to forge the embryo of the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword, but failed.]

[You attempted to forge the embryo of the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword. During the forging process, you gained a lot of experience in forging, deepening your understanding of the way of forging. Forge experience +40.]

As expected by Shen Mo, the first attempt to refine the prototype of the Dao Sword ended in failure!

However, his forging skills were successfully promoted to the second rank.

There was an experience bar on the panel, and he gained something in both directions.

Moreover, even if he continued to fail, Shen Mo was always able to improve his experience in related areas until he succeeded.

Otherwise, how could it be said that failure is the mother of success? Try a few more times, and sooner or later you will succeed.

The only difference was the amount of spiritual materials and ore consumed!

The ore worth more than sixty spiritual stones turned into residue, but Shen Mo was not discouraged.

He continued to refine the prototype of the Dao Sword needed for the formation!

Failure!

Failure!

Still failure!

Shen Mo was surrounded by more than ten lumps of dark gold and iron impurities!

It wasn't until half of the raw materials were consumed that a crisp sword hum came from the earth fire furnace.

[You attempted to use Divine Iron of Heaven, Tian Geng ore, Spirit Awakening Iron, and Mica Gold Essence to forge the embryo of the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword, and succeeded.]

[You successfully forged the embryo of the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword. During the forging process, you gained a lot of experience in forging, deepening your understanding of the way of forging. Forge experience +200.]

Shen Mo quickly opened the earth fire furnace and saw a short sword embryo, about an inch long, shining like stars, quietly suspended in the furnace.

"Not bad, although it is a Profound Grade lower-grade Dao Sword embryo, the foundation is excellent!"

"When I collect the treasures of heaven and earth that contain extreme meaning, as long as they are melted into the sword embryo, they can be promoted to a Profound Grade lower-grade Dao Sword."

"If there is enough extreme meaning, they may even transform one by one into Profound Grade upper-grade. At that time, with seven Profound Grade upper-grade swords arranged in a formation, the power...hiss!"

Shen Mo gently stroked the slightly cooled Big Dipper Seven Star Sword embryo, as if caressing the skin of a loved one, and his heart was filled with pleasant imagination.

Then, he set aside the sword embryo.

Continuing to activate the earth fire, he continuously burned the Divine Iron of Heavenly Integration and other auxiliary ores, and using the method of forging, he cast them into new sword embryos.

Shanren does not know the years.

In the blink of an eye, a day and night had passed!

Shen Mo's face was slightly tired, but his eyes were filled with excitement.

Ten jin of Divine Iron of Heaven, a large amount of Tian Geng ore, Spirit Awakening Iron, Mica Gold Essence, and other auxiliary ores were finally successfully forged into seven sword embryos!

Due to Shen Mo's increasing forging skills, he successfully refined the remaining six sword embryos with half of the remaining raw materials, leaving behind extra Divine Iron of Heaven and other precious ores.

He originally wanted to refine more Dao Sword prototypes for future needs.

But unexpectedly, it seemed that he was influenced by the formed sword embryos...

All subsequent attempts ended in failure!

Shen Mo was not annoyed. Anyway, once the sword formation was set up after the sword embryos were formed, ordinary means would be unable to destroy the sword embryos.

Whether it was spells, profound tools, talismans, or combat techniques, if they wanted to damage a sword formation activated by someone, they had to first ask whether the vast and terrifying sword intent would agree!

As soon as he returned to his cave, Shen Mo couldn't wait to refine the seven sword embryos.

At the same time, he took out the jade slip of the "Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation."

He was not good at formations, so he followed the jade slip step by step to set up the sword formation.
