Chapter 1930: Chapter 359: Humans Can Triumph Over Heaven

The so-called equality and cooperation have always been firm choices from both sides.

Because you possess a quality that others do not, I choose you;

Perhaps you have resources that no one else has, so I choose you.

Only under such mutually beneficial premises and with aligned goals, is it easier to achieve a win-win or even a shared victory.

The test given by Miaowei precisely signifies how much she values this matter, otherwise there would be no need for such attention.

And this, is exactly what Tang Luo wishes to see, so he asked, "Naturally, may I know what material Daoist Priest Miaowei intends to use to construct the armor?"

"Please take a look, Headmaster."

Seeing Tang Luo’s industrious demeanor, Miaowei thought he might not have understood, her eyes flashed with a calculation, and once again opened the gourd, pouring out a misty fog, reached inside, and pulled out a radiant, seemingly real yet illusory thing: "Wuxiang Smoke Cloth made of Five-Colored Immortal Cloud Silk, can stretch and change, originally just the size of a handkerchief, but when expanded it’s like smoke covering the sky. It can transform between the real and unreal, appearing hidden like a lotus in mist in its unreal state, and solid like a chainmail resisting blades in its real state.

Although its absolute defensive capability cannot compare to those known for their sturdiness, it is one of the best divine materials for drawing formations and diagrams. The inscribed spiritual formations would have a much larger range, one of the most suitable materials for crafting Divine Armor."

Being an expert in the art of crafting, Miaowei spoke eloquently, even Tang Luo, who was merely an outsider, could hear the high compatibility of this divine material with Divine Armour.

Seeing Tang Luo’s interest piqued, Miaowei lightly coughed and said, "However, there’s still a small problem to solve. The supply of this divine silk is limited, if it’s to inscribe ten divine souls at once, it might cause pattern conflict, not only affecting the material’s divinity, even if it was barely completed, the stability of the Divine Armor would be in jeopardy. I ask the headmaster to think of a solution."

With that, Miaowei handed the divine silk to Tang Luo, a hint of wisdom flickering in her eyes.

The practitioners of Xuanji Sect are all immersed in the craft, each having their own interpretation of the rules. Despite the compatibility of this divine material, it could not accommodate the emblematic rules, making it essentially a wasted material.

Just like many grand promises, they initially sound reasonable with a bright future, seemingly like altering the stars could be achieved with a mere verbal agreement, but when put into actual practice, it’s fraught with difficulties, just like this wasted piece of material before them.

Therefore, to avoid repeating past mistakes, and to prevent the situation from becoming more awkward, Master Miaowei chose to challenge Tang Luo a bit. If he could sense this subtle hint, she would take out other suitable materials for armor crafting from the Red Cloud Gourd upon the headmaster’s request.

And she believed that with the headmaster’s wisdom, it wouldn’t be hard to notice the hidden reminder, thus preserving the relationship between Dayuan Peak and Unparalleled Academy, even if it came to an awkward point.

But Tang Luo seemed completely unaware of the deeper meaning behind Miaowei presenting this wasted material, he received it and smilingly said, "The way of Heaven, depletes the excess to replenish the lacking. If it aligns with the Heavenly Dao, even if there’s temporary insufficiency, the heavens will make amends. Does the Daoist Priest agree?"

Originally thought the headmaster did not understand, surprisingly, he was insistent.

Miaowei replied with a complex expression, "Indeed, that’s the way of Heaven, but human nature differs. Whatever is excessive invites more offerings; whatever is lacking loses even the little it has.

Just like this Wuxiang Smoke Cloth, although it’s the most suitable material for Divine Armor construction, its essence can only accommodate one or two divine patterns.

If one forces it into forming an armor, its effectiveness is less than a tenth, better to seek something slightly less compatible, yet achieving six to seven out of ten, what does the headmaster think?"

The headmaster’s smile stayed unchanged, reassuringly said, "Since we have found the best, we shouldn’t easily give up, even if laden with difficulties, human effort can surpass nature."

"It’s easier said than done to surpass nature."

Miaowei sighed, "For instance, the divine material in the headmaster’s hand, if it were more than a zhang, no second thought would be necessary, but it is barely a square foot, what can one do about it?"

The two spoke of the divine material, yet not entirely about the material.

The headmaster’s demeanor remained calm as ever, yet his words were still firm, "In the Academy here, there happens to be a way to fulfill the Daoist Priest’s intention without compromising the Divine Armor."

"Oh?"

Daoist Miaowei’s eyes brightened, "I would be grateful for the headmaster’s guidance."

"Please watch, Daoist Priest!"

Tang Luo spread his palm, the square foot Wuxiang Smoke Cloth floated into the air, as if pulled by an invisible force at the four corners, stretching the cloth tightly.

His eyes moved with divine wheels, divine light surged, two beams of decreed divine light criss-crossed upon the Smoke Cloth.

As Miaowei was puzzled, the Wuxiang Smoke Cloth under the divine light lifted a layer upon a layer.

Before Miaowei could exclaim, it lifted the second layer, third layer, fourth layer... up to the ninth layer!

In Miaowei’s astonishment-stricken expression, the divine material sculpted before her was fully opened in nine layers under the golden divine light, but she was not pleased, only filled with despair.

It’s ruined, the divine material is completely ruined.

It’s known that what sets divine materials apart from ordinary ones is the inherent rule-like nature, such as the stretch and transformation, and the real-unreal changes of the Wuxiang Cloth.

Therefore, each piece of divine material is essentially a preservation of some rule, and this preservation is not limitless, if a divine material is destroyed, the stored rule naturally dissipates, which is why crafting a Divine Artifact requires extreme caution.

Dividing the divine material into ten parts like this seems marvelous but is actually a destruction of the tool.

Simply put, when the human body evolves into a spiritual essence stage, it possesses microscopic capabilities.

The so-called a world in a flower, and a Buddha in a leaf. Splitting a rice grain in half, then taking one half and splitting it again, as long as the microscopic capability suffices, it can be infinitely repeated.

This is the foundation of the craftsmen of Xuanji Sect, like the current Wuxiang Smoke Cloth, Miaowei might not manage pulling the divine material as thin as ten layers of cicada wings but could certainly manage two or three.

But once done, the rules contained in this divine material would be lost, thus rendered useless.

Miaowei felt regretful but held no intention of faulting the headmaster, as the other was not adept in crafting, making such a mistake was understandable, it’s just a pity for this divine material indeed.

Thinking of this, Miaowei gazed at the nine divided layers with dazed eyes, about to sorrowfully close her eyes, unable to bear seeing the scene where the material’s divine attributes scattered and lost.

This kind of pain is akin to a swordsman’s broken sword, or a beast master’s deceased companion beast.

Filled with immense reluctance, Miaowei reluctantly took one last look and was about to close her eyes, only to be surprised that the scene of divine marvel scattering hadn’t appeared, as the spiritual sources flowed among the ten sheets of misty Smoke Cloth in front of her, those spatial partitions spread before her seemed non-existent.
