When Li Meng entered the artifact he was shocked by the view. The first noticeable thing was the increase in the space within the artifact. He felt that space had increased by at least three times if not more. He couldn't even see his herb gardens and the Qi pools, since they were so spread out and far away from him.

The next obvious development was the density and quality of energy within the artifact. The very touch of this energy managed to refresh Li Meng and made his Qi flow faster and better. He could feel his body being cleansed by the energy within the artifact. He immersed into the heavenly feeling of energy washing down his body.

"Do you feel the upgrade in the energy quality?" The Keeper asked Li Meng.

"I do feel the extreme enhancement in the energy quality within the artifact and I even feel that the energy within my body is being modified by the artifact." Li Meng said.

"The artifact underwent four sets of modification and enhancement due to the power which I absorbed from the tree and the altar.  We have undergone another modification in the time ratio. It is 9:1 now. You also have two additional facilities available for you. One is a special forging station with crimson World altar and energy at your service."

"The other thing is even more interesting. It is a functionality which you have wanted to open up for a long time."

"I can now use the artifact to attack."

"Yes, you can. But the limitation is that the energy drainage is too much for you to handle. In your current realm, you would only be able to use the attack once, and it would drain all of your energy reserves."

"Can't we use Qis tones for the attack?" Li Meng asked.

"The price to pay will be too much to handle. It isn't sustainable in the long run. The Qi King realm is just the beginning. When you enter the QI Emperor level, you should be able to handle the energy attack. The true usefulness of the first-grade attack is the Qi Monarch realm. You would be able to handle multiple attacks of the same kind.

"So I would need to be in the Qi Dominator realm to be able to handle the attack type properly." Li Meng stated.

"Yes. And it is just the first type of attack. It is called QI ray. A demonstration wouldn't be possible since we don't have enough space or proper QI reserves to practice it. But once you enter the Qi Emperor realm, you can begin the experiments." The keeper stated.

"I guess we have put it on the back for a while. Any changes with the Weapon spirit?"

"The weapon spirit would be able to provide you with a higher level of comprehension, but it is still not awake."

"How many more modifications would it take for it to wake up." Li Meng wanted the weapon spirit to come online as soon as possible. That way he would be able to begin using the artifact properly.

"At least five more modifications and this time the upgrade is going to need many powerful resources. We need half-saint level resources at every least. Only then could the artifact undergo a proper enhancement. You need to practice more and gather enough resources for the upgrade. We also need your cultivation base to be higher. You need to perform well in this royal road event they keep talking about.

"That I will do. First, we need to prepare for the experiment." Li Meng said.

"There is another development within the artifact which is a good thing for us. The breakthrough altar finally emerged out of the depths. It is functional now. You can use the altar to properly fuel the formation which you will be using in the experiment. The altar is capable of harnessing and infusing any kind of energy in the world."

"The Yin tree pieces which have in the ring are to be used as the rime healing herbs with the rest of the collected ones as a substitute to enhance the effect of the tree pieces. The healing energy should be enough to fuel the whole experiment. Should we begin the operation then?"

"Chart out a proper routine and operation procedure. We would also need a memory slate that could record all the details within your body. We also need to verify the art that the guy from Pill Valley gave you and see if it is compatible with our body type. If it is, then we have a defined path ahead of us. If not, we might need to make some modifications to the original art and make it suitable for your body. "

"Did you chose the avatar you will be experimenting on?"

"What is your suggestion in this regard?" Li Meng was eager to know Keeper's opinion on this subject.

"I am thinking that we should experiment on one of the avatars in the general realm. The experiment would result in a huge infusion of energy from the extreme Yin tree bark. The avatar has a chance to obtain the Extreme Yin physique just like Li Meng. IT would also enhance your depth in Yin laws and may even bring some changes into your other avatars."

"Fine then." Li Meng chose one of the avatars in the Qi general realm and a proper surgical room was prepared on top of the altar. After the preparation was complete, he gathered all the equipment and began to operate the formation with the help of the Keeper. Resources were placed in their dedicated positions and the formation came online.

The next step was the soul ink creation which after long-term planning and discussion were finalized as the proper way to go. The soul links were established and a barrier was placed in between the connecting networks of the avatar on the altar and all the other. Li Meng hoped that it would all work out well and he would be losing an avatar he had cultivated for such a long time.
