Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 592 - 338: Ruyi Monarch! Path of Artifact Refining! (Part 2)

"Little Junior Brother, this is your Third Senior Brother, Ruyi Monarch, Elder Ruyi. I remember you have a Lifebound Treasure, but it hasn't ascended to the Heaven Rank yet. It's a good opportunity for your Third Senior Brother to refine it for you. You wouldn't know, previously no matter how I invited him, he wouldn't come. He insisted that there is a Heaven Rank Strange Fire in the sect that can enhance his refining skills."

"It wasn't until I mentioned that in the occupied Green Simurgh Island, there's a naturally formed Green Simurgh Fire Sea. The Green Simurgh Strange Fire inside has been formed for many years, making it ideal for refining. It didn't take half a month for him to come here with a pile of resources and materials."

"In terms of cultivation, your Third Senior Brother is indeed a bit inferior compared to other Elders. But in artifact refining, he is invincible in the same realm. The only thing he lacked was overcoming the Nirvana Fire Tribulation. But now, with the Green Simurgh Strange Fire stimulated, in a few days, your Third Senior Brother smoothly overcame the Nirvana Fire Tribulation and is now a True Monarch of the Nirvana Realm Middle Stage, able to refine a Heaven Rank Treasure that will surely satisfy you."

Hai Guang True Monarch smiled and said, his spiritual power spreading out, sweeping over Jiang Shu's body. He suddenly frowned but didn't say anything, directly inviting Jiang Shu to land. When they returned to the cave mansion on Green Simurgh Island, he continued to ask:

"Little Junior Brother, who is currently presiding over the Heavenly Sound Vientiane Ship? Didn't he tell you how difficult it is to occupy the Inner Circle now? Not to mention that you are still in the Primordial Pill Realm. Even if you are in the Early Stage Nirvana Realm, you need to be extremely careful. Especially on our Green Simurgh Island, where a Transformed Realm Great Demon with Green Simurgh bloodline fled heavily injured and could bring Demon Race experts anytime."

"It's extremely dangerous. Your current strength is too weak. I'll escort you back later. Come back when you have ascended to the Nirvana Realm."

Having been in the Nirvana Realm Middle Stage for many years and having accumulated experience from battles, Hai Guang True Monarch was almost on the verge of reaching the Late Stage Nirvana Realm. Although he mainly cultivates Primordial Power Divine Abilities, the boost in spiritual power brought by the realm still surpasses Jiang Shu at his current stage.

Moreover, Jiang Shu did not hide anything in front of his Senior Brother, naturally allowing Hai Guang True Monarch to see through his realm at a glance.

"Senior Brother knows you have outstanding talent and many trump cards. In the Primordial Pill Realm, you are unrivaled through the ages, the best in the world. But the Primordial Pill Realm and the Nirvana Realm are two different realms. Especially in the Inner Circle, none of them are ordinary Nirvana Realm cultivators. The Demon Cultivators here practice cultivation techniques that sacrifice lifespan for divine skills, progressing very rapidly and with terrifying power."

"As for the Demon Clan Commanders in the Transformation Realm, they are formidable, each possessing strong demon bloodlines. It can be said that, as long as they follow the proper steps and have enough resources, they have the potential to become a Demon Monarch. Their talent and strength are in no way inferior to ours, and should not be taken lightly as ordinary demons in the Transformation Realm. The difference is like that between our Sect Elders and loose cultivators in the Nirvana Realm; they may seem to be in the same realm, but the gap is significant."

"Now, even in front of ordinary demons in the Transformation Realm, you could barely hold your own without being defeated, let alone against these Demon Clan Commanders."

"Of course, Senior Brother also knows that since you have apprenticed under Master, Master must have given you significant trump cards, but there's no need to use them easily, right? Your reputation has already spread among the Demon Clan and the remnants of the Demon Sect, and by that time, even Transformation Realm Late Stage, Nirvana Realm Late Stage experts will make a move, so use your trump card at that time."

Hai Guang True Monarch spoke earnestly, although he didn't know why Jiang Shu remained in the Primordial Pill Realm. He only needed to know that the Inner Circle of the Endless Sea was extremely dangerous, making it difficult even for Early Stage Nirvana Realm geniuses to stay.

In the Eight Great Sects, newly promoted True Disciples have almost all left the Inner Circle.

Under such circumstances, even if his Little Junior Brother had entered the Nirvana Realm, he felt it might be dangerous, let alone just being in the Primordial Pill Realm.

"Second Senior Brother, don't worry. After I resolve this matter, I will naturally ascend to the Nirvana Realm directly."

Jiang Shu explained briefly the blood oath established when he received Master Ming Lei's inheritance. Within the sect, a Senior Brother is the closest relationship aside from the Master, and Hai Guang True Monarch's intention was to support him, so he naturally didn't hide anything.

"In other words, you must kill Zhou Yan to ensure your Dao Heart remains intact? But Zhou Yan has now ascended to the Nirvana Realm and is a Sect Elder. Not to mention, the sect has yet to investigate his affairs. Even if they do, and it turns out he did harm fellow disciples, the sect will likely conceal it because, in a great battle, every sect desperately needs Nirvana Realm combat strength. It's impossible to pressure him with the sect."

"As for you, being in the Primordial Pill Realm, it's completely impossible to oppose..."

Before Hai Guang True Monarch finished speaking, he saw his Little Junior Brother, Jiang Shu, smile and wave a hand. A gigantic figure suddenly appeared in the spacious cave mansion.

A Heavenly Rank Puppet, Nine-tailed Fox Bear!

"Second Senior Brother, before entering the Inner Circle, I already slew this Transformed Realm Great Demon in the Outer Circle alone and refined it into a puppet. Even if Zhou Yan has entered the Nirvana Realm, I can still slay him across realms."

"Actually, as far as I'm concerned now, the blood oath doesn't really obstruct anything. If a Heart Demon arises, I can break it with overwhelming spiritual power. It's just that I owe a debt to Master Ming Lei. Since I can do it, I naturally will."

Jiang Shu shook his head, and at this moment, Hai Guang True Monarch's gaze shifted from Jiang Shu to the Nine-tailed Fox Bear.

This demon beast, he recognized. Its physical power was already remarkable among Transformed Realm demon beasts, and its spiritual attack was a standout, with few peers in its realm.

If his Little Junior Brother could slay such a Transformed Realm Great Demon, wouldn't that mean his combat strength was comparable to the Nirvana Realm Middle Stage?

This... how could this be possible!

Hai Guang True Monarch's eyes began to wander; this shattered his preconceived notions, a Primordial Pill Realm opposing a Transformed Realm Great Demon, if this spread, it would surely shock the entire Cang Mang Domain.

Moreover, since his Little Junior Brother dared to say it aloud, it indicates that when slaying the demon beast, he likely did not use the trump cards given by Master, relying solely on his own Primordial Power Divine Abilities.

Could this be an eternal genius?

Is this the number one in the Primordial Pill Realm?

"Oh, this Heavenly Rank Puppet, wonderful indeed."

Before Hai Guang True Monarch could say more, the previously silent and taciturn Ruyi Monarch's eyes suddenly lit up, as if seeing a great uncut gem. He circled the Heavenly Rank Puppet, occasionally caressing it with both hands.

Although Ruyi Monarch mainly focused on artifact refining, he wasn't unfamiliar with Puppet Skills. He quickly saw through the mysteries of this Heavenly Rank Puppet. Unlike Hai Guang True Monarch's shock, he was more impressed by his Little Junior Brother's refining technique.

It's known that each dedicated artifact-refining cultivator has a set of proprietary methods. Artifacts refined with the same model and materials have various distinctive features for distinction.

But the puppet refined by his Little Junior Brother, although it appeared ordinary on the surface, actually had a touch of returning to the basics.

Even if he were to refine it himself, he could only make the Nine-tailed Fox Bear Puppet stronger, but he couldn't achieve what his Little Junior Brother did.

Could it be that his Little Junior Brother is not only a cultivation genius but also a genius in refining puppets? An artifact refining genius?

The more he looked, the more delighted he became, even gleaning some artifact-refining insights from it. Sadly, it was a puppet, not a treasure. Just as he was about to lament, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly looked at Jiang Shu and asked: "Little Junior Brother..."

"Hmm? Ruyi Senior Brother, go ahead."

"Didn't Second Senior Brother say you refined a Lifebound Treasure? Could you let Senior Brother take a look at it..."
