The Unbeatable Uncle-Grandmaster
Chapter 36: Accidentally Forging a Divine Artifact
Under normal circumstances, if a cultivator wanted to become a weapon forger, other than needing the strength of an Earth Stage or so, he would have to be taught by a master teacher and learn basic knowledge for several years. After which, he would slowly grasp the rune mark and grasp the depths within it until he became proficient.
Even geniuses usually needed several months before they could begin forging.
Hence, no matter where one was, the status of a weapon forger was extremely high. A high-tier weapon forger could even increase the strength of a faction several times.
Except for the last time when he perfected the "AK-47", Qin Jue had almost never come into contact with a weapon forging, let alone learned the basics for several years. Therefore, he could only go through this process and perform the most difficult rune outline.
Although the "Dao Rune Book" had become a common commodity, the Five Elements Formation was still the first rune mark to have five element attributes. Compared to the low-level runes used when Qin Jue refined her AK-47, it was many times more complicated.
Of course, Qin Jue also had an incredible advantage, namely that his spirit energy was endless. He did not even have to worry about failure because even if he failed, he could still use his holy ability to forcefully remove and then start again.
With this in mind, Qin Jue began to decipher the Five Elements Formation.
As expected, he failed for the first time.
Perhaps it was because Qin Jue was too powerful, but even though he failed, the runes still covered the body of the Gatling gun, coating it with a silver lining, which reminded him of the game he had played in the past.
But it wasn't a total failure, as Qin Jue had fully deciphered the Five Elements Formation. Only the soil and wood augmentation runes had yet to be activated.
After thinking for a moment seriously, Qin Jue removed the marks on the gun and started again.
The second time, Qin Jue had still failed, but the earth augmentation runes were successfully activated, leaving only wood.
As the saying goes, if you shoot the Moon, even if you miss, you will at least land among the stars.
Qin Jue put away her previous thoughts and became more focused.
After an unknown period of time, along with a faint sound, the weapon trembled slightly and then emitted a dazzling light. Qin Jue finally activated all the rune attributes!
And just as he was done, the spirit energy between heaven and earth suddenly and crazily gathered towards the Gatling gun, scaring him.
What the hell is going on?
The book does not say that such a thing will happen.
Fortunately, he had put up a barrier before and had not affected the young girl who was cultivating.
Under Qin Jue's astonished gaze, more and more spirit qi gathered and flowed into Gatling's gun. As these spirit qi flowed, the bright silver lines gradually turned into gold!
Waitaminute!
Wasn't the golden rune the symbol of a spirit artifact from the Highest Stage upwards?
There were different levels of spirit artifacts, and rune marks were naturally no exception. Among them, the silver-colored markings were called "silver runes." Even the highest grade silver runes could only be refined into a Heaven Stage spirit artifact.
On the other hand, golden rune marks were called "gold runes", and they could be spirit artifacts of the Supreme Stage and above. Not only were their attributes greatly enhanced, they were even able to condense heaven and earth origin energy.
For example, Wei Longtao who had used the Ring of Death Spirit and the Absolute Defense Barrier before he died was clearly only at the middle phase of the Heaven Stage, yet he was able to transcend the realm and rival a Supreme Stage expert. This clearly showed just how great the golden runes were.
However, golden runes were extremely rare, and most of them had been lost. They were extremely difficult to master, and only a few high-level weapon forgers knew how to make them. Hence, any weapon forger that could refine a Supreme Stage spirit artifact had a status that was not inferior to a Legendary Stage expert.
Qin Jue was somewhat dumbfounded. He hurriedly picked up the "Book of Dao Runes" and looked at it.
True, the Five Elements Formation was only a silver rune and could not even be considered the best among the silver runes!
So... What happened?
Did the Five Elements Formation rise by itself?
The problem was, if the Five Elements Formation could level up by itself, why would it be considered an ordinary item?
Moreover, the streamer he had just watched did not get the same results.
Without waiting for Qin Jue to find out, the entire Gatling weapon had already turned into gold. If it was placed inside the game, it would definitely be another expensive item that required real money to unlock it.
This somehow reminded Qin Jue of the fear of being dominated by a penguin in his previous life.
Qin Jue looked at the golden Gatling gun in front of him, not knowing what to do for a moment.
This is probably the most luxurious golden spirit artifact in the history of the Spirit Central World, right?
Qin Jue clearly remembered that whether it was the Death Spirit Ring or the Absolute Defense Barrier, there was only one golden rune. Therefore, his creation is very different.
"Uh ... Did I accidentally forge a divine artifact?"
After a while, Qin Jue calmed down and took out a golden Gatling gun, preparing to test his strength.
Upon second thought, what if his strength was too great and blew up the entire Xuanyi Mountain Sect?
Left with no choice, Qin Jue could only execute the divine ability of teleportation and change locations.
The next instant, he appeared in the vast wilderness. The spirit energy here had been depleted, and resources were scarce. Not to mention the village, there was not even a shadow of a person.
Qin Jue raised his Gatling gun and aimed it at the distant mountain peak. Then he circulated his spirit energy and lit a rune.
In order to be safe, Qin Jue did not activate the augmentation of the five element attribute and only turned on a tenth of the runes.
Da da da!
The six barrels spewed out a dazzling blue light as they spun rapidly; rays of light landed on the distant mountain peak.
The explosion!
In an instant, countless stones cracked, and a terrifying storm of spirit energy swept out, with the mountain as its center. Furthermore, it continued to spread outward. The mountain, in the midst of the impact, instantly turned into ashes as it was devoured by heaven and earth.
"Damn, very strong?"
Stunned, Qin Jue hurriedly stopped shooting and retreated.
The explosion lasted for almost a minute, forming a huge mushroom cloud as it shook the surroundings.
When the dust and smoke disappeared, it was not only the top of the mountain, but even the entire mountain range had been leveled with the ground, which had been gouged out over ten meters.
This strength was almost comparable to the full-strength attacks of a Legendary Stage expert!
And this only illuminated a tenth of the runes!
If he turned everything on or activated the five element attributes, the damage would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, Qin Jue had moved to this place before. Otherwise, the Xuanyi Mountain Sect would have disappeared.
"As expected of a gilded Gatling gun!"
Qin Jue smacked her lips in satisfaction.
He did not think that he would be able to casually forge a divine artifact that surpassed the Supreme Stage or even a Legendary Stage cultivator. If the weapon forgers who had researched for over a hundred years and could only refine an Earth Stage or Heaven Stage spirit artifact knew of it, who knew how they felt about this.
However, although this gilded Gatling weapon was extremely powerful, it was also an all-out absorbent of spirit energy. According to Qin Jue's deduction, even a legendary Stage expert would not be able to use it unless they had boundless spirit energy like him.
“Almost time to return.”
After testing the power of the gilded Gatling gun. Qin Jue once again teleported and disappeared from the wilderness.
Not long after he left, two figures in tattered clothes and dust came out from the ruins below. Their aura was very weak.
The two of them looked at each other, then around them, their faces were full of confusion.
"What just happened?" one of them said in a chaotic voice.
“I don't know, but. I think we're safe.”
