Chapter 432: 427 Rebirth of the Supporting Female Character Aiming for a Counterattack (6) One more update

The Great Elder was stunned by Ye Shaohua like this.

"This Spiritual Power..."

In this world, which was a Cultivation World, there was no such thing as spiritual power attacks; everyone cultivated Golden Core and Nascent Soul, but Spiritual Power was also a part of one’s ability.

He looked at Ye Shaohua somewhat peculiarly.

Ever since her Water Spiritual Root was destroyed, she rarely appeared in the Family.

"What a pity for your Spiritual Root..." the Great Elder said, looking at Ye Shaohua. If her Spiritual Root was still intact, she wouldn’t have to worry about her cultivation level, "How about this, I’ll take care of the matter with the Liao Family for you. But what are you going to do next? Are you planning to leave?"

The Great Elder fell silent for a while, frowning deeply. He looked at Ye Shaohua, who had a nonchalant expression on her face, with some concern.

He had never heard of anyone whose Spiritual Root had been destroyed and was able to heal it again.

But even if it could be healed, the process was certainly not simple.

Ye Shaohua appeared very determined, which made the Great Elder look at her with some surprise.

"Mm, I’ll go and make a name for myself." Ye Shaohua said slowly, "The city doesn’t have what I need."

"If you’re set on leaving, I can’t stop you." The Great Elder’s expression eased somewhat and he suddenly realized that this younger relative was different from what he had imagined...

If the Ye Shaohua of the past seemed tranquil, the current Ye Shaohua felt sharp to him.

He had just seen a kind of pride in the depths of Ye Shaohua’s eyes.

Not the pride that comes from self-conceit, but the kind of aura that one naturally carries after being in a high position for a long time.

"Thank you, Great Elder." Ye Shaohua smiled at the Great Elder, relieved to hear his agreement.

The original owner had been devastated by the issue with her Spiritual Root, her eyes always dull. Now, without that dejection, she seemed to have gained a touch of laziness. Her long lashes drooped and covered the sharpness in her eyes, adding a gentle charm.

The Great Elder just smiled in response.

He watched as Ye Shaohua performed a courtesy to him before preparing to leave.

His lips pursed for a moment, his inner turmoil apparent, "Wait, Shaohua."

Hearing the Great Elder’s voice, Ye Shaohua paused in her steps and then turned around in surprise to look at the Great Elder.

Having called her, the Great Elder did not hesitate and went to an inner room to retrieve an ancient text.

"Originally, I didn’t want anyone in the Family to know about this, but now that you possess such high Spiritual Power, it must be the arrangement of the heavens," the Great Elder looked down, sighed while looking at the ancient text, "Shaohua, having a Spiritual Root is not important. In the Cultivation World, there is a class of people whose status is extraordinary! Do you know about the weapons of our Cultivation World?"

Of course, Ye Shaohua knew this from memory.

The Ye Family was currently using the most common Magic Artifacts, while the Great Elder had a treasure that was one level higher than Magic Artifacts.

Because of this, the Ye Family’s status in the city was no less than that of the Xuanyuan Family.

Usually, Magic Artifacts are hard to come by amongst ordinary people, since crafting them requires cultivators in the Golden Core Stage, and precious materials such as cold iron for forging weapons.

In the Cultivation World, any cultivator at the Golden Core Stage can make Magic Artifacts, and with some luck in obtaining good materials, it’s possible to craft treasures as well.

However, higher-level Spiritual Artifacts are much rarer, let alone those above Spiritual Qi such as Immortal and Divine Artifacts.

The three major sects in the Cultivation World each have an Immortal Artifact, which is what keeps them in a position to intimidate other people in the Cultivation World.

In the Cultivation World, a good weapon can allow a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage to remain undefeated even against a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage.

A cultivator wielding an Immortal Artifact at the Golden Core Stage might even have the chance to kill someone at the Nascent Soul Stage!

Another use of Immortal Artifacts is to help cultivators overcome tribulations. Strong cultivators ascending from Golden Core to Nascent Soul will have to go through Thunder Tribulation, and the stronger the cultivator’s ability, the more formidable the tribulation.

This is a deadly trial every cultivator faces, and under normal circumstances, out of a hundred cultivators, only about forty can safely survive the Thunder Tribulation.

However, with an Immortal Artifact, the probability of surviving the tribulation can increase to 90%.

This is also why high-level cultivators are so numerous within the large sects.

Nonetheless, the total number of Immortal Artifacts known in the Cultivation World amounts to no more than ten.

So, while these fearsome individuals capable of killing far beyond their own level do exist, they are not numerous.

Of course, if you’re weak but come across an Immortal Artifact by chance, it’s best not to show it off, as even those ancient monsters who have lived for millions of years desire an Immortal Artifact to carry them through their final tribulation.

Divine Artifacts, those exist only in legends.

There are hardly any legends about Divine Artifacts in the Cultivation World.

"That’s right, Divine Artifacts are said to only exist in the realm of gods," the Great Elder’s face actually lit up with an unusual radiance when he spoke of these places, "The Immortal Artifacts of the three major sects were all left behind by predecessors who ascended a million years ago. Shaohua, do you know where the other Immortal Artifacts in the Cultivation World originated from?"

Surprised to hear these words from the Great Elder, Ye Shaohua raised her eyes in astonishment. Looking at the ancient text in the hands of the Great Elder, a thought suddenly struck her, "Could it be that our Ye Family used to be Artifact Refiners?"

The Great Elder looked at Ye Shaohua in surprise.

"That’s right," the Great Elder took a deep breath, his expression turning solemn, "Twenty thousand years ago, our Ye Family was the foremost Artifact Refining Family on the grand path, with as many as tens of thousands of disciples and owning more than thirty Immortal Artifacts! That was the most glorious existence of our Ye Family, even the largest sects would not dare offend us lightly, no one dared to provoke an Artifact Refiner, as the number of friends they have is the least of their worries."

This, of course, Ye Shaohua knew well; it was the same principle as the alchemists in a Fantasy World.

"Our ancestor was one step away from crafting a Divine Artifact, but unfortunately was ambushed by a Demon Cultivator, mortally wounded, and passed away. In that battle, the Ye Family suffered immense losses, and the other three major sects took advantage of the chaos, seizing several of our Immortal Artifacts. As for the others, they were destroyed during the war," the Great Elder’s voice trembled as he spoke.

Ye Shaohua also took a deep breath.

Almost able to craft a Divine Artifact?

What kind of ancient monster was the Ye Family’s old ancestor?

Artifact Refining in the current Cultivation World has long since declined, and anyone who can craft a Spiritual Artifact is treated as a distinguished guest by the major sects.

Crafting low-grade Magic Artifacts requires no skill, but to refine more powerful Spiritual Artifacts, Immortal Artifacts, or Divine Artifacts, one must inscribe arrays onto the weapon, so the most important part of Artifact Refining is not the forging itself, but the arrays.

The more complex the arrays inscribed, the more terrifying the weapon.

However, deducing arrays is too intricate, requiring exceptionally heaven-defying Spiritual Power to speculate. Our Ye Family’s old ancestor had Nascent Soul Stage Spiritual Power even when he was only at the Qi Refining level; by the time he was undergoing his tribulation, his Spiritual Power was comparable to that of an Immortal.

Thinking of this, the Great Elder looked at Ye Shaohua with fervent eyes.

And now, Shaohua had previously just been at the Qi Refining level but had reached the Spiritual Power of the Golden Core Stage!
