Chapter 171: Chapter 170 Pseudo Immortal Artifact

"Boo-hoo-hoo..."

Yudie gently rubbed her eyes with her small fists, feeling wronged: "Master, you scolded me. I’m not talking to you anymore."

"Whoosh..."

In an instant, Yudie transformed into a beam of purple light. Who would have thought that this light would fly straight towards the brow of Yan Rufeng’s Immortal Venerable Divine Soul?

With the disappearance of the light, Yudie also vanished into the brow of Yan Rufeng’s Divine Soul.

At that moment, Yan Rufeng’s Divine Soul suddenly trembled and released an invisible wave of energy, reducing everything it touched to dust.

"Roar..."

Yan Rufeng let out an angry roar towards the sky.

"Haha..."

Yan Rufeng laughed and said: "I feel like my whole body is filled with power..."

Then he wondered aloud: "What exactly is going on here?"

"Hee-hee..."

A laughter like the gentle flow of a stream echoed from deep within Yan Rufeng’s Divine Soul.

"Master, I’ve already settled in your Divine Soul, so of course, your Divine Soul’s power has greatly increased," Yudie said with a giggle.

Yan Rufeng hesitated for a long while before he spoke: "Yudie, you mean to say, your true form has merged with my Divine Soul?"

"Yes!"

Yan Rufeng scratched his head and asked in confusion: "How is this possible? What exactly is happening?"

"Hee-hee!"

Yudie laughed: "Master, don’t ask so many questions. When your cultivation reaches the peak of the Saint realm, I’ll naturally tell you everything."

Yan Rufeng asked doubtfully: "Yudie, why do I have to wait until the peak of the Saint realm? Can’t you tell me now?"

"Master, telling you now would do more harm than good. For now, you should focus on cultivating and enhancing your power," Xuedie advised.

"Hehe!"

Yan Rufeng thought joyfully: "Why is it that everything I encounter nowadays requires me to wait until after becoming a Saint to learn the truth. Master said this, and now Yudie is saying the same thing..."

"Heh-heh..."

Yan Rufeng let out a cold laugh and said to himself: "If I want to know the secret of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, will its Artifact Spirit say the same thing..."

Yan Rufeng hoped the Artifact Spirit of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk would appear soon. Unfortunately, even after almost draining Yan Rufeng’s essence blood, it still hadn’t awakened...

After the Creation Jade Disc merged with Yan Rufeng’s Divine Soul, Yan Rufeng could clearly sense the positions of star domains within the myriad universes, and with a single thought, he could accurately view the exact locations of various universes.

"Phew..."

Yan Rufeng exhaled gently, and his Divine Sense withdrew from the Purple Mansion.

Yan Rufeng sat down on the ground, silently operating his cultivation technique, intending to check if his own cultivation had improved. He shook his head in disappointment and murmured: "Strange, even though the Immortal Venerable’s Divine Soul has become stronger, why has my own cultivation not only failed to improve but actually regressed?"

Before going to the underworld, Yan Rufeng’s cultivation was at the Divine Separation Middle Stage. Although his essence blood was depleted from taking the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, and he couldn’t fully exert his power, he still possessed strength at the Middle-stage Nascent Soul. Yet now he couldn’t even reach the strength of the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

"Could it be because the Twelve Divine Souls were half-absorbed by the Creation Jade Disc?" Yan Rufeng asked himself.

"Sigh..."

Yan Rufeng let out a long sigh: "What should I do now? My essence blood hasn’t fully recovered, and my Divine Soul is half gone. If I want to regain the Twelve Divine Souls, I can only wait until my essence blood fully recovers..."

Because Yan Rufeng couldn’t utilize his Divine Separation Stage strength, he was unable to refine the wormhole mother ship or set up the protective array for the ship’s hull. Yet, it was urgent to leave Earth, and Yan Rufeng couldn’t afford to wait until his strength recovered to refine the wormhole mother ship. Therefore, he had to entrust Ye Lingtian and the others with the task.

No one in the Heavenly Soldier Army felt anything was amiss about Yan Rufeng not participating in the refinement. After all, their cultivation levels were similar, and one less person wouldn’t make much difference.

Yan Rufeng’s current status in everyone’s hearts was not just that of their leader and instructor but more primarily their spiritual leader.

Take Cheng Hui, Yin Zhiqiang, and Fan Zhiwei, for example. When the base was first established and Yan Rufeng was selecting suitable people for cultivation, their qualifications were the weakest among everyone. But now, their cultivation was on par with the Innate Taoist Body of Ye Lingtian, having reached the Divine Separation Stage. They knew their own qualifications well, and their feelings towards Yan Rufeng were not only of gratitude but also profound respect.

Of course, other original base members, like former First Base instructor Ji Yun, although not incorporated into the Heavenly Soldier Army, would follow Yan Rufeng’s command without hesitation, even if the task was incredibly dangerous. This is the power of leadership...

Three months later, when Ye Lingtian issued the final command, the wormhole mother ship weighing several million tons was finally completed.

The moment the ship was finished, the sky changed color, wild winds howled, thunder rolled from afar, and the earth shook continuously.

"Crack..."

"Boom..."

Suddenly, a purple lightning bolt struck the wormhole mother ship, followed by continuous flashes of purple lightning striking the ship rapidly.

"What’s going on?" everyone exclaimed.

Yan Rufeng seemed extremely satisfied, smiling as he said loudly: "Everyone, do not panic. This is the Spiritual Artifact crossing the Spiritual Artifact Tribulation. Once it has crossed, it will be a Pseudo Immortal Artifact."

A Pseudo Immortal Artifact—just the name alone sounded powerful. In the cultivation world, there was once a strong practitioner at the Nascent Soul stage who used a remnant sword classified as a Pseudo Immortal Artifact. With a single move, just one move, he killed a peak Divine Separation Stage powerhouse.

The gap between the Nascent Soul Stage and the Divine Separation Stage is more than just a little. A Divine Separation Stage powerhouse can summon a Divine Soul to aid in fighting enemies, meaning a Nascent Soul Stage practitioner battling a Divine Separation Stage powerhouse is like facing two opponents of a higher realm at the same time. This shows just how powerful Pseudo Immortal Artifacts are.

In the cultivation world, anything associated with Immortals is a treasure, even a fragment capable of attracting numerous factions to fight over it.

The Heavenly Soldier Army’s wormhole mother ship, although a flying artifact, should not be underestimated. It was developed by Professor Zhou, not only achieving triple the speed of light but also equipped with an attack system capable of reducing a planet to dust with ease.

The wormhole mother ship, bathed in the lightning tribulation, now glowed with an unprecedentedly dazzling golden light.

At this moment, everyone cheered and rejoiced. Ye Lingtian’s eyes sparkled with tears as he choked: "Three months of continuous effort, and we finally did it!"

"Hee-hee!"

Wen Tong laughed joyfully: "Ye Lingtian, not only did we succeed, but we also managed to create a Pseudo Immortal Artifact that survived the Spiritual Artifact Tribulation. This time, Marshal Yan must reward us!"

"Haha..."
