#467 - Great harvest
The runes on his body shone like stars, each containing a precise control over the power of thunder.
Li Chengfeng began with his fragile bones, slowly guiding the power of thunder to penetrate them. Each impact caused him excruciating pain, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, using thunder as a hammer to constantly temper himself.
As time passed, his bones were gradually covered by thunder, with light-colored arcs of electricity traveling across them, like the veins of life, recording his unwavering will.
When Li Chengfeng finally stepped into the center of the sea of thunder, the thunder there had reached the extreme of violence, each strike enough to obliterate ordinary cultivators.
Bolts of lightning as thick as arms occasionally struck his body, causing him to tremble and a numbing sensation to spread throughout his body, but he stood firm like a rock, knowing that this was the perfect opportunity to temper his meridians and improve his cultivation.
Four ancient beings, led by the Dragon Turtle, occupied the four directions of east, west, south, and north, respectively. Their eyes were like torches, closely watching Li Chengfeng's every move.
In their eyes, Li Chengfeng was not only a young cultivator, but also a formation master who dared to challenge the limits and pursue the ultimate.
In the center of the volcano, a seemingly inconspicuous flame was burning fiercely. That was the ultimate flame drawn by the formation, with a temperature sufficient to incinerate the heavens and boil the seas.
Countless precious materials were thrown into it, instantly melting and deforming, becoming the foundation for refining the Wings of Space.
With a thought from Li Chengfeng, the power of space surged, and the materials in his hand transformed constantly like living things. Each refinement deepened his understanding of the meaning of space.
The refinement of the Wings of Space required not only exquisite formations, but also special materials. These four skeletons came from the wings of a rare marine flying beast—the Thunder Lion.
They once belonged to a Transformation God realm expert, but were shattered due to a failed ascension.
The four pairs of wings in Li Chengfeng's hands, although incomplete, contained the power of thunder and the mysteries of space in each feather, making them indispensable treasures for refining the Wings of Space.
In order to maximize the use of these precious materials, Li Chengfeng decided to experiment with a pair of incomplete wings first.
He carefully controlled the flames and thunder, each melting and each shaping condensing all his efforts and wisdom.
Under the full assistance of the four big shots, the three half-step Transformation God realm experts led by the Dragon Turtle each guarded a volcano crater.
There, thunder and flames intertwined into a spectacular scene, providing the greatest assistance to Li Chengfeng's refining process. Their tacit cooperation made the entire refining process as smooth as flowing water, without any obstacles.
Li Chengfeng stood between the volcano craters, the hand seals in his hand constantly changing, and the Heavenly Dao Brush was even more freely wielded, the ink as black as a dragon, and exquisite formation restrictions emerged one after another, accurately falling on the wings about to take shape.
Whenever specific materials were needed, the big shots immediately threw them in, ensuring the smooth progress of the refining process.
This trial, for Li Chengfeng, was not only a practice in refining treasures, but also a challenge to his own limits.
Within the Life World space, Li Chengfeng's Substitute Puppet, being connected to his mind, was also refining another magical artifact at the same time. Although the materials were only ordinary flying fish wings, the formations were equally exquisite, and even more tightly integrated on a microscopic level.
This was to test the improvement of the artifact's bearing capacity by microscopic formations, as well as his ability to flexibly use formations between different materials.
However, the road of refining artifacts is never smooth.
When the Thunder Lion wings in Li Chengfeng's hand were about to be completed, a slight oversight in the deliberate hand seals caused an accident in the entire refining process.
With a loud bang, black mist filled the air, and the pair of wings that were about to take shape completely shattered.
But Li Chengfeng was prepared. He quickly sent the broken wings into the Life World space and handed them over to the Substitute Puppet for processing.
In the hands of the Substitute Puppet, the pair of broken wings were not abandoned.
Although the restrictions drawn by Li Chengfeng on them were somewhat preserved, the skeleton and feather parts were still decent.
He planned to repair the wings by adding microscopic formations, but did not act immediately, but left it to the Substitute Puppet.
The Substitute Puppet summoned the little artifact spirit, the little artifact spirit of the Nine Profound Battle Iron—according to his instructions, split six pairs of wings of different sizes.
The little artifact spirit was enthusiastic about this task, and he acted quickly, and soon brought the six pairs of wings to the Substitute Puppet.
With a thought from the Substitute Puppet, the broken thunder wings and the six pairs of wings slowly combined in the air, eventually forming a unique shape never seen before.
The longest pair of wings was naturally located in the center, containing the essence of the thunder wings, while the remaining five pairs were lined up in a row, complementing each other, emitting a dazzling thunder light.
As Li Chengfeng's hand seals were cast again, he imitated his previous refining process, integrating the microscopic restrictions into these six pairs of wings one by one.
It could be seen that those wings slowly merged in the air, eventually turning into a pair of perfect wings, with thunder light flashing on them, as if containing the power of thunder between heaven and earth.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng's art of refining artifacts was once again sublimated, and his understanding of formations also reached a new height.
Outside the space, Li Chengfeng apologized with a look of regret, sincerely apologizing to the seniors: "Seniors, I am really sorry, I just made some mistakes due to improper control, but please rest assured that such mistakes will never happen again. Please allow me to think for a moment."
After saying that, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, and instantly entered a mysterious state of meditation.
In this tranquility, he seemed to have touched some profound understanding, and an unprecedented clarity surged in his heart.
The Dragon Turtle praised from the side: "Little friend is indeed talented and intelligent. At this moment, he can actually gain enlightenment. The next refining will definitely be twice the result with half the effort. Everyone, please be sure to protect him and ensure that nothing goes wrong."
However, what Li Chengfeng realized was not the traditional "Dao", but a subtle technique—he cleverly integrated "Dust of Time" into his own cultivation technique.
Making his every move hidden and invisible, even these top experts could hardly detect his trace.
With a thought, he cast the Substitute Puppet technique and exchanged positions with the Substitute Puppet, while his main body quietly escaped into his own Life World space, wielding the Heavenly Dao Brush in his hand, carefully depicting the patterns on the six pairs of wings.
This is not only his deep understanding of the Dao of Space, but also the embodiment of his ultimate pursuit of speed and balance.
The refinement of the little fox's talent for spatial essence allowed his spatial perception to reach an unprecedented height.
As the brushstrokes moved, exquisite body techniques such as the Dao of Teleportation, Whirlwind Vortex, and Steps of Life and Death were integrated into them one by one, and the six wings seemed to have life, each undertaking the important task of traversing space, adjusting balance, and achieving instant movement.
They cooperated with each other, making Li Chengfeng's speed and flexibility reach an astonishing level.
What's even more amazing is that Li Chengfeng also integrated the power of the Dust of Time into the wings, making the appearance and disappearance of this pair of wings as ghostly as possible, silent and traceless.
After completing the depiction, with another thought, the six wings turned into streamers and escaped into his dantian, surrounded by the Nine Great Blood Shadows, jointly carrying out a more intense tempering and fusion.
