Initially, the Ding Family possessed better martial skills, but since the family head had not yet confirmed whether Ding Fan was a disciple of Ding Aohuang, the two elders did not dare to give him better secret techniques.
Upon returning to Wolong Residence, Ding Fan sought out Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong, inquiring about their insights on advancing to the Fourth Level Divine Realm. He also chatted with Ding Aoshuang before entering his room.
Before reaching the Third Level Divine Realm, it was all about laying the foundation, but reaching the Fourth Level Divine Realm is entirely different from the previous stages.
After cultivating to the Fourth Level Divine Realm, it's the time to defy fate.
At the First Stage of the Fourth Level Divine Realm, the defiance of fate begins; each stage adds five hundred years to one's lifespan, and it is at this time that one refines their own divine weapon. Ding Fan previously had the Flying Sword Treasure Pouch, but it was completely destroyed in the battle of Great Python Mountain, so he needs to re-refine his Flying Divine Sword.
After breaking through to the Fourth Level Divine Realm and acquiring his own divine weapon, he will be able to fly, and there will be a qualitative change in his combat power.
If the cultivation of the first three levels is likened to adolescence, successfully breaking through to the Fourth Level Divine Realm is stepping into adulthood. Reaching the Fifth and Sixth Level Divine Realms is akin to entering youth, and it is only after reaching the Seventh Level Divine Realm that one can truly soar, equivalent to entering maturity.
Ding Fan didn't give much thought to the future realms. Upon entering his room, he began researching the method to cultivate divine weapons. He was eager to impact the Fourth Level Divine Realm quickly because, according to his estimation, Xia Mengqing would soon be brought back, and he wanted to give her a surprise.
The principle of coagulating a divine weapon is not complex, but during the coagulation process, it's exceedingly complicated, and a slight misstep can lead to collapse.
In the Divine Space, there is a legend that a divine weapon is akin to a great tree, with each tree containing rings representing life. In fact, a divine weapon is like a tree's rings; the longer the tree's lifespan, the more rings it has. Essentially, divine weapons also have rings, but they are hidden within the cultivator's body and cannot be seen.
Thus, to live longer, ancestors attempted to increase the life cycle's quantity. It's like a tree now with only ten rings, but if you carve a hundred rings in advance, theoretically, it could live a hundred years.
Of course, this is merely a folklore, a crude analogy, and it is not accurate.
In truth, utilizing many natural resources and treasures to condense the Origin of Life within the body, continuously altering human functions, allows a warrior's body to delay aging, perpetually becoming young and full of vitality.
The Origin of Life is the Flying Divine Sword cultivated by martial artists. Refining a Flying Divine Sword is difficult; one must concentrate the Origin of Life, and only after tens of thousands of attempts and improvements by ancestors can one ascertain the final required form.
Condensing a Flying Divine Sword is not merely a simple creation process; it is not just about crafting a random flying sword and placing it within the body. It must fully integrate, and become a part of the body.
There are three steps to crafting a Flying Divine Sword!
First, removing impurities within the body to turn it into a blank sheet of paper, becoming pure, and therefore better combining with the Flying Divine Sword.
Second is the coagulation of the Flying Divine Sword, utilizing the True Yuan within deep Dan Yuan, and having countless Heaven and Earth Treasures condensed on the Flying Divine Sword.
The third critical step is perfect integration of the Flying Divine Sword with the body. If it doesn't fit, the sword cannot become part of the body and may collapse at any moment. The Limitless Fruit is needed for this step.
Previously, Mu Gaosou attempted advancing to the Fourth Level Divine Realm nearly a hundred times without success, primarily because he was too old and his bodily functions had deteriorated. Moreover, due to previous failures, his body could not adapt until Ye Li provided him with spiritual material Limitless Fruit to successfully advance.
Ding Fan spent half a day grasping and memorizing the complete method of condensing the divine weapon. He did not rashly begin but went outside to accompany Ding Aoshuang for a meal, played chess, chatted, and then returned to his room to rest.
He slept comfortably, bringing his body and spirit to peak condition. Only the next day did he begin to impact the Third Level Divine State.
He first took out three pills and swallowed them. The pills were meant to remove internal impurities, albeit causing some pain as they forcefully expelled impurities from the body.
Indeed...
Just half an hour passed, and Ding Fan's entire being started heating up, his skin reddened like being thrown into a furnace.
In fact, this method of impurity removal is much like roasting; previously, Ding Fan's intake of body refinement spiritual materials was similar to this. To refine iron ore into high-quality steel, a roasting flame is needed to extract its impurities.
"Hot..."
Soon enough, Ding Fan felt unbearably hot; his entire body turned fiery, as if his every exhale was scorching. Yet, he could still endure the pain, sweat dripping from his forehead, clothes becoming drenched, unaware as he sat cross-legged, motionless with eyes closed.
As time passed, Ding Fan's clothes were soaked, shrouded in mist, his face showing signs of distress, every muscle trembling.
Slowly...
A lot of black impurities expelled from Ding Fan's body; his skin darkened, emitting an unbearable odor. Yet, he didn't open his eyes, remaining seated.
An hour, six hours, fifteen hours...
Finally, Ding Fan opened his eyes, but they were covered in black mud, and his body reeked, eyes losing their luster, body trembling as if about to collapse.
He didn't rush to bathe, instead lying on the floor, breathing heavily.
The secret technique for condensing divine weapons he obtained was very clear: the longer the rest period, the worse the effect of the condensed divine weapon. Therefore, Ding Fan had to fight for every second of rest.
Half an hour later, Ding Fan opened his eyes and sat upright again. This time, he began to condense his flying divine sword. He had the Limitless Fruit, as long as he could successfully condense the divine weapon, the final step would not be a problem.
He took out the spiritual materials and then resolutely drew a dagger, cutting a wound on his lower abdomen.
His lower abdomen immediately split open, and blood flowed endlessly. Ding Fan ignored the pain, quickly took out spiritual materials and prepared medicine pills, and applied them to the wound.
The method of condensing divine weapons from Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong was not like this. This was a unique method given to the Ding Family by the Seventh Elder, said to result in divine weapons many times more durable than Zhong Zhiyong's divine weapons. Ding Fan chose to trust the Ding Family's secret method.
Generally, divine weapons can compare to the highest-grade weapons, but even the highest-grade known weapons are not very durable. For example, Sirius can easily bite them apart, and even martial artists above the Fifth Level in the Divine Realm can break them.
Every major family and power has its own unique method for refining divine weapons, making the divine weapon unbreakably durable.
Divine weapons are very important to a warrior; if their divine weapon is broken by someone, the warrior will suffer serious injuries, immediately faint, and easily be killed.
The medicinal herb used for the abdomen is called Divine Tree Leaf, valued at a billion Black Obsidian. Of course, that's the market price, but the Ding Family's own fields grow this spiritual medicine, so it's no problem for the Ding Family.
Divine Tree Leaf has strong vitality. When swallowed, it can extend life by decades; now, applied to the wound, Ding Fan's injury began to quickly heal.
At the same time, Ding Fan also swallowed several differently colored spiritual medicines and several spirit grasses, swallowing them directly.
At this moment, Ding Fan no longer cared about the wound on his abdomen, nor did he look at the spiritual medicine he had just swallowed. He began to use all his strength to operate his True Yuan, making them run in a very special trajectory.
True Yuan is gaseous at the First Level Realm in the Divine Realm, becomes liquid at the Second Level, but now, to reach the Fourth Level, it must become solid, a complete qualitative leap from previous forms.
The swallowed various herbal materials began to take effect within his body, aiding further cultivation and gradually solidifying. Of course, all this takes time; solidification cannot be achieved instantly, it needs slow progression, not achievable overnight.
Mu Gaosou's last condensation of divine weapons took three days. Ding Fan's secret method is more complicated, estimated to take at least five days.
Actually, this is no different from alchemy. Ding Fan's body is a pill furnace, he has to continuously swallow spirit herb pills, which slowly condense the Wheel of Life.
Beside Ding Fan's body are at least thirty types of herbal materials, whereas when the camel condensed the Wheel of Life, it only had about a dozen spiritual materials.
This shows that the divine weapon created by Sirius Ding Family must be far stronger than ordinary divine weapons; now Ding Yuenn's True Yuan has increased sufficiently, now just waiting to see the hardness of the divine weapon condensed by Ding Fan.
Before reaching the Sixth Level Realm in the Divine Realm, divine weapons are a very good attack method. If a martial artist's divine weapon is sufficiently hard, attack power will increase greatly and not be easily destroyed.
But after breaking through to above the Sixth Level in the Divine Realm, a Nine Stages divine weapon will be condensed and eventually the divine soldier pellet. At that time, the divine soldier pellet will be powerful, truly becoming a family master, contributing to the family.
In the same field, disciples from major powers or large families will be slightly stronger than ordinary warriors; hence in the Divine Realm, countless warriors aspire to join large families, after joining various large powers, not only receive significant spiritual material resources, but more importantly, receive various cultivation secrets from large families.
During the past time, Ding Fan continuously swallowed various spiritual materials and various medicine pills; inside the dantian a small divine weapon had gradually formed.
Three days later, Ding Fan had swallowed all spiritual materials and pills, leaving only one Limitless Fruit. Three hours later, he finally opened his eyes and fell to the ground.
His abdomen was in good condition, and a small divine weapon within his consciousness sea had formed; the second step of condensing the divine weapon was completed.
Exhausted from days and nights without sleep, Ding Fan's eyelids were heavy, but he did not immediately sleep; instead, he rested for half an hour before standing up for the final step.
Fusion!
Allow the divine weapon to merge into his body, becoming part of the body, thus achieving complete success. He swallowed the Limitless Fruit, slowly rotating the small flying divine sword within his consciousness sea, letting the vitality from the flying divine sword spread throughout his body, enhancing body functions, blending with the body.
Half an hour later, the Limitless Fruit's medicinal power spread, fully poured into the flying divine sword, transforming into intangible energy, spreading from the flying divine sword, like countless strands of silk, pouring into his body, thoroughly merging flying divine sword with the body.
"Alright, finally completed!"
At this moment, Ding Fan finally felt a sense of relief; he no longer cared what might happen next and fell directly to the ground asleep.
"Buzz buzz~"
Half an hour into his sleep, something strange occurred.
Suddenly, the Sirius mark on his back lit up, moved around his body, then completely disappeared, leaving no Sirius mark on Ding Fan's back.
