Chapter 615: Chapter 610 Territory 6

The craftsmanship of making Dao weapons, after Lin Xin dissected a few dwarfs and slime monsters, was somewhat understood by him.

Such basic First Grade Dao weapons had an extremely simple structure and could not deceive his analysis.

To slightly modify it and increase the proportion of the soul body in the Dao weapon, making it capable of withstanding the enhancement of his attributes, was what he desired.

The required modifications were complex. Moreover, they needed to be done using Low-Level Arrays, which involved channeling Void Elemental Energy.

After Lin Xin unsuccessfully tried dozens of different low-level arrays, he turned his attention to resonance frequencies.

He used the resonance frequencies of spiritual energy, demonic qi, and chaotic flames, and accidentally caused a Qilin phenomenon.

Afterward, he simply found the resonance frequencies of Three Yin and subsequently, the Thunder Emperor.

By now, he had uncovered the resonance frequencies of four powerful ancient beings.

These four frequencies belonged to the middle-high level resonance bands, whereas the slightly lower frequencies could potentially reveal the existence rates of beings slightly weaker than Qilin, Three Yin, and Thunder Emperor.

Lin Xin directly followed this idea in his research and surprisingly found that not only these beings had frequencies, but he himself also had a frequency, and indeed, everything had its own inherent frequency.

The frequency bands, wavelengths, characteristics, and forms were all different.

As for the Dao weapons, they were entities with pitiable frequency presence.

This gave him a new idea.

***************

Standing inside the fortress, the inner walls all around were filled with densely engraved runic formation patterns.

Lin Xin faced the muddy pool in front of him, his eyes flickering with a faint white glow as he scrutinized it closely.

"Dao weapons are merely a special application of Formation Talisman techniques. The key must be in how to produce, manufacture, and apply these frequencies, and it should be inside this Dao weapon building," he mused.

The muddy pool continuously emitted stinking bubbles, resembling a pot boiling a huge black sludge with various distorted, wriggling things seemingly like worms, or perhaps just a type of gas.

Lin Xin’s eyes gathered Innate Spiritual Energy, and he quickly deciphered the internal and external structures of the muddy pool.

Below the muddy pool, a contorted sphere emitting dark qi was continuously wriggling, slowly separating a small orb that also emitted dark qi.

This small sphere was slowly separated, gradually floated upward, and quickly reached the surface of the pool. During this process, the surrounding pool water, like numerous tentacles, approached and continuously touched the sphere, engraving countless fine formation runes on its surface.

Once the small orb reached the surface of the water, it was covered inside and out with a large number of various formation runes.

The dark qi it emitted was all bound within these runes; like blood flowing in veins, it circulated throughout.

Hiss...

Lin Xin dispelled the spiritual energy in his eyes, and suddenly saw a slime monster slowly crawling out of the pool, offering him a bow, and then walking towards the outside of the fortress.

Lin Xin’s plan was to have all the slime monsters spread out and ambush outside the city. Their food source was the soil and water beneath the snow, so there was no worry that they wouldn’t survive, which was why Lin Xin was willing to choose them initially.

"It should be no problem now...."

Lin Xin watched as the slime monster departed and then looked back at the muddy pool, silently making plans.

"Although this may destroy the Dao weapon structure, as long as it’s effective, everything is not a problem," he decided.

He reached out toward the muddy pool.

The entire muddy pool suddenly shook, then swiftly detached from the ground and floated up.

The muddy pool slowly rotated a few meters above the ground. With each rotation, it shrank a bit.

Quickly.

Plip!

A soft sound was heard as the muddy pool completely transformed into a palm-sized model, which flew into Lin Xin’s hand.

He slightly fiddled with the model, his mind thinking of how to increase the soul proportion in the Dao weapons after their production.

"The source of the soul lies in that black sphere, and by slaughtering demon spirits, Dao weapons obtain a mysterious substance which could enhance the concentration and volume of the black sphere.

In this way, if I slightly modify the size of the separated sphere, thus making the separated soul body larger, perhaps I can increase the soul proportion in the Dao weapons," he thought.

A spiritual power knife materialized in Lin Xin’s hands, and he began carefully modifying the muddy pool model.

Such modifications were not difficult for him, who had studied countless formation arrays and array plates.

The black sphere might seem simple, but it actually consisted of countless, thousands of different energies gathered together.

He did not dare to rashly modify the black sphere directly but instead made changes on the runic formation patterns that separated it. This was a field he was familiar with.

The modification was quickly completed.

Lin Xin released the muddy pool back to the ground, reinstalling it properly.

After waiting another day, he stood on the spot.

Soon, the muddy pool produced another slime monster.

Amid the gurgling sounds, this new slime monster emerged from the pool, not much different from the previous ones.

But Lin Xin clearly felt its frequency vibration was much stronger.

"Feasible!" he affirmed to himself.

All along, his most formidable advantage was his ability to endow other creatures with powerful attributes.

This had provided him with infinite assistance in the Underworld.

If it were possible here too, he could completely create an even mightier Dao weapon army.

"You, come here," Lin Xin commanded the slime monster in front of him.

The two-meter-tall slime monster slowly dripped stinking sludge and walked up to Lin Xin.

"Master... Master..."

The creature unexpectedly began to speak!

This also gave Lin Xin quite a shock.

Talking Dao Soldiers created from separations? It’s actually possible.

He quickly related it to those high-level guards he had seen in White Jade City, who could speak and had their own independent thoughts.

"It seems that high-rank Dao Soldiers also have more separation spheres."

Lin Xin understood that he had, seemingly unintentionally, created a low-level Dao Soldier with the intelligence of a high-level one.

He looked again at the construction site of the Dao Soldier, where the ceaselessly flowing black energy spheres had clearly shrunk a bit. Despite continuous consumption of material, the recovery rate was obviously not keeping up with the separation speed. It seemed that it would soon be rendered useless.

"So that’s it, it was a pre-set balance."

Lin Xin had a clear understanding now.

He did not mind the smell or dirt, slowly placing his hand on the mud monster in front of him.

The touch was slippery and sticky, incredibly disgusting to the extreme.

But Lin Xin remained unfazed.

Whoom!

A layer of white light flowed gently, quickly moving from him towards the mud monster.

Embracing a smooth approach, Lin Xin transferred at a rate of ten attributes per second to the mud monster.

The moment he touched the mud monster, he roughly felt its average data, all below five points, just stronger than an average adult, not by much. It was similar to some naturally gifted individuals among ordinary people.

One second later.

Ten points had been transferred.

The mud monster’s entire body trembled, and dense ripples began to appear all over its muddy form.

Ao...!

A scream-like sound came from its mouth.

Its body size began to rapidly increase, two meters... three meters... four meters!

Lin Xin withdrew his hand and a moment later,

the mud monster’s screams ceased, and the mud on its outer body began to harden and turn black.

Its body shape also gradually became more humanoid.

Too much attribute transfer could lead to soul collapse, so he waited for the mud monster to adapt to the attributes.

As time slowly passed, gradually, the mud monster turned completely into a four-meter tall black mud figure. The contours of human facial features faintly emerged on its face.

"Is this... a Fifth Grade Dao Soldier? A Mud Man?"

Lin Xin had seen many records of Dao Soldiers at the Heavenly Evolution Tower, and he vividly remembered all the information about the Dao Soldiers he owned and related to.

Now seeing this transformed mud monster, he immediately recognized it as a Fifth Grade Mud Man Dao Soldier.

Though still not ranked, it was already a strong Dao Soldier entity, capable of barely holding its own against small Void demons one-on-one without falling behind.

"Indeed, just like with Yin Mantuo earlier, my attribute enhancement can promote species evolution!"

Lin Xin was clear in his mind.

He sensed the fluctuations of the soul sphere inside the mud man, which seemed still bearable.

He reached out his hand to touch the mud man again.

Ten points of attributes started transferring continuously.

Ao!!

This time the mud man threw back its head and roared, its features clearly showing agony.

These were individuals created by the Dao Soldier construction consecrated by Lin Xin, actually connected to Lin Xin through a soul pact.

But the attributes increased too quickly and too urgently, without any buffer time, hence causing great pain.

The attributes kept transferring continuously.

This time, after continuing for three seconds, Lin Xin felt the soul sphere becoming unstable, and he let go.

The mud man roared, with no change in body size, but its skin began to rapidly harden, turning into a greyish-white color similar to limestone, clearly extremely tough. The sound of its roaring also grew louder and louder. If there had not been a Concealment Formation, it might have attracted countless demon spirits by now.

"This is a Ninth Grade Dao Soldier, Stone Man!"

Lin Xin searched his memory, and immediately recognized the name of this kind of Dao Soldier.

"Forty attributes, mostly all used up in evolution. If given to a human Qi Cultivator, it could approach the Golden Core Layer."

But thinking of the correlation between the enhancement of the Dao Soldiers and his own Green Yuan Decision, he planned to continue strengthening it.

Using attribute enhancement was ultimately temporary; once the attributes were withdrawn, it reverted instantaneously.

But this type of enhancement could be used to hunt demon spirits to gain essential improvements, thus promoting his own Green Yuan Decision in turn.

The third time, Lin Xin transferred for about five seconds.

Fifty points of attributes passed on.

This time the Stone Man did not roar randomly but just stood there, its skin growing increasingly black and starting to glint with a metallic sheen.

Before long, a four-meter tall giant composed entirely of metal was fully formed.

"Iron Man! A First Rank Dao Soldier." Lin Xin breathed a sigh of relief, this was equivalent to a high-rank Qi Cultivator in the human world. Of course, this was just a rough rank comparison, as the actual Qi Cultivators had a variety of methods, naturally not something Iron Man could compare with.

He tapped the Iron Man’s skin with his hand.

Dang dang!

Sharp and hard.

"Let’s see if it can be enhanced further."

Lin Xin placed his hand on the Iron Man’s skin, intending to continue transferring attributes, but the soul sphere inside the Iron Man immediately vibrated violently, extremely unstable.

"It’s the limit, the innate limit...." Lin Xin understood—the soul sphere that was separated out had reached its maximum potential, and that was it.
