nIn the Sacred Leader Palace, there was a moment of absolute silence.

nHeavenly Venerate Azure Lotus looked at Shen Tian in a daze—the expression on his face was unique.

nThe lightning and heavenly aura covering the Sacred Leader gradually calmed down after quite a while. He asked, “Tian’er, was everything you said true? Please, do not joke about something this important.”

nShen Tian nodded. “Junior Brother Yundi, please create a Yin-Yang Divine Lightning for Master to see.”

nQin Yundi agreed, took the lake water he had prepared out of his interspatial ring, and then the ball of lake water hovered in mid-air.

nAfterward, as his golden hair flew upward, he released a powerful lightning attack, which surged toward that ball of lake water.

nAs the lightning kept on pouring into the lake water, the bubbles surged out of the bubbling lake water. Meanwhile, the ball of water, which was originally as tall as a person, rapidly shrank in Qin Yundi’s hands.

nShortly after, only a ball of gas glowing with blue light the size of a baseball appeared, spiraling on Qin Yundi’s hand.

nQin Yundi explained with squinted eyes as he created lightning, “Senior Brother Tian’s talent surpasses the past and present. He unknowingly comprehended the Yin-Yang Water Inverse Dao when he was cultivating the IX Divine Lightning.

n“He also discovered that water could be broken down to Yin and Yang atoms through lightning. These two atoms can be ignited through lighting, and through combing Yin and Yang, its explosion releases terrifying destructive power.

n“I have used the Qi Gathering Talisman to mix Yin atoms, Yang atoms, and Spirit Qi according to a fixed ratio. After that, I packed them inside a specially created Spirit Gold Ball, which can be detonated once the user hurls it at their opponent.

n“Following that, when the Lightning Explosion Talisman explodes, it generates a powerful impact that will propel the Spirit Gold Balls within and shoot them in all directions.

n“I have carefully calculated and concluded that the success rate of creasing such a Yin-Yang Penetrating Divine Lightning could be over 90%. In addition, the cost of the Spirit Qi needed to break down the lake water, and Spirit Gold Balls is around three to four Spirit Stones.”

nAs Qin Yundi spoke, he had already placed the compressed gas into a Divine Lightning and finished assembling it.

nThe Sacred Leader nodded, stretched out his hand, and the newly created Divine Lightning flew to his hands.

nThe lightning in the middle of his palm shot out and instantly detonated the Divine Lightning in his hand.

nBoom!

nThe violent explosion sound was deafening, but the impact of the explosion was not leaked at all. It was as if the Sacred Leader’s palm was linked to the void, cleanly absorbing all the impact.

nNumerous Spirit Gold Balls fell from the Sacred Leader’s palm as he calmly said, “The power is quite strong. However, such a Diving Lightning that shoots Spirit Balls indiscriminately in all directions could easily injure our disciples by mistake. It’s a little dangerous.”

nQin Yundi hurriedly untied the long black rod from his back and handed it to the Sacred Leader. “Martial Uncle, there’s this too.”

nThe Sacred Leader was slightly stunned. He looked at the long rod in Qin Yundi’s hands with a puzzled expression before asking, “What is this?”

nQin Yundi stuffed the Lightning Explosion Talisman into the long rod, pulled the trigger, and shot the Sacred Leader.

nBang!

nThe muzzle shot out pale blue flames as well a cluster of Spirit Iron Steel Balls, which scattered as they flew toward the Sacred Leader.

nBoom, boom, boom, boom!

nThe balls collided against the protective lightning and heavenly aura covering the Sacred Leader, and after producing a small ripple, they fell to the ground powerlessly.

nThe Sacred Leader seemed to be deep in thought. “That’s it! Using a Dharma artifact to control the direction the Spirit Balls are shot toward to avoid accidentally injuring comrades, right?

n“This idea is quite good. It’s just that the power was unavoidably reduced. Is this also an idea that you two thought?”

nQin Yundi’s eyes turned into a slit as he smiled, his face full of admiration. “No, no, no. This is Senior Brother Tian’s idea. I only followed Senior Brother Tian’s instructions and created these. Senior Brother Tian also said that this was the crudest manufacturing method of the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun.”

nShen Tian held his head in resignation upon watching Qin Yundi, who had turned into a fanboy, brag about him non-stop.

nWTH!? Didn’t we agree to give you most of the credit, and I would only be the support?

nOnce the Sacred Leader released his lighting-colored domineering aura, why did you start to crazily brag about me without any self-control?

nOh god! I really did not want to take credit!

nShen Tian had no choice but to elaborate upon noticing the Sacred Leader’s questioning gaze.

n“Yes, there is a way to improve it. As Junior Brother Yundi had only used the cheapest Spirit Gold to create the Dharma artifact this time, it was unable to withstand an overly high-intensity explosion.

n“Thus, this Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun can only be counted as a crude semi-finished product. Its power can only deal with Foundation Establishment cultivators.”

nThe Sacred Leader nodded. He agreed with what Shen Tian said, but he also felt that Shen Tian’s statement was a little too modest.

nAlthough this gun’s firepower was weaker, if the opponent did not defend with full power, and a few guns were shot simultaneously, then even late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators would most likely die when facing this kind of Lightning Talisman Gun.

nSeeing that such a Dharma artifact was still only a semi-finished product, even the Sacred Leader was curious about it.

nShen Tian continued explaining, “In fact, a supreme-grade Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun should use high-tenacity Spirit Gold in combination with high-grade defensive arrays.

n“A Dharma artifact like that would completely be able to withstand the explosion of several Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans and thus convert the explosion into the bullets’ impact force.

n“Meanwhile, for the bullets, we shouldn’t use normal iron balls. It’s best to use high-tenacity Spirit Gold with a sharp-pointed, cone-shaped head. If possible, a miniature armor-penetrating array formation could be carved on the tip of the head.”

nThe lightning and heavenly aura covering the Sacred Leader vigorously fluctuated as Shen Tian spoke.

nAs an absolutely rational Sacred Leader that had cut off all emotions and desires, he was rapidly calculating the feasibility of what Shen Tian had said.

nThe Sacred Leader was simulating such a Dharma artifact in his mind with his divine consciousness, and he estimated its destructive prowess.

nAfter a good while, he gradually opened his mouth. Surprisingly, there was a tinge of excitement in his voice, which was difficult to detect.

n“If Iron Essence was used, it could satisfy the requirements of this Dharma artifact. If this is so, then this Dharma artifact might be able to penetrate the Golden Core Restriction realm!”

nPenetrating the Golden Core Restriction realm meant that it should be able to pierce through the Golden Core cultivator’s protective field.

nGolden Core cultivators were different from those in the Foundation Establishment stage that had only formed the Immortal Dao foundation. Golden Core cultivators had already started grasping the laws of Dharma.

nThe cultivators in such a stage could form different Golden Core realms on their bodies’ surface according to the different cultivation techniques they cultivated.

nIt was challenging for cultivators below the Golden Core stage to destroy such a realm and deal damage to Golden Core Qi Refinement cultivators.

nTherefore, if Foundation Establishment cultivators could still be suppressed and killed by an immense number of mortal armies, then Golden Core Qi Refinement cultivators were no longer afraid of the mortal world.

nThus, the so-called “Eating the Golden Core, and I’m the master of my own destiny”, described the Perfected Ones that only then really stepped into the road of cultivation!

nIt was normally difficult for Foundation Establishment cultivators to challenge Golden Core cultivators through setting up arrays and drawing talismans. Only those cultivators in the same stage or even higher stage could draw expensive divine talismans that could kill Golden Core cultivators.

nMeanwhile, the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader felt that if the completed version of the Divine Gun that Shen Tian had described could be created, then such a scene might really be achieved.

nIn the future, with a gun in hand, Divine Firmament disciples would be able to do as one liked with cultivators below the Golden Core Stage. Those who were not convinced could be killed in just one shot.

nBy then, wouldn’t the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s disciples be able to outshine others in those mystic realms that restricted cultivation levels below the Golden Core stage?

nEven the Sacred Leader, who was void of emotions, could not help but be excited at the thought of that. He looked at Shen Tian and asked. “Since you already know how to make it, why didn’t you make one?”

nShen Tian spread his hands out helplessly. “As the Iron Essence was too expensive, Junior Brother Yundi could not buy it.”
