Chapter 1087: Chapter 404: I Burn My Soul for the Righteous Path (Part 2)

But Ning Zhuo is not like that.

He cultivates three Dantians simultaneously, allowing him to employ three artifact refining methods at once, complementing one another, thus achieving remarkably high efficiency.

The treasure tower continuously hums and trembles. In just a moment, the tower’s vibrations reach a peak, emitting a clear and long hum that seems to cleanse the divine soul!

The Five Elements radiance surrounding the tower suddenly contracts inward and disappears. The blood vessels, initially chaotic, turn gentle, like dark red exquisite lines, deeply engraved within the glaze and on the lotus platform, merging seamlessly with the tower’s body. Meanwhile, the divine sense penetrating the core completes the imprinting of the core magic prohibition and its total control, silently.

The humming sound fades, and the Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower becomes completely silent, emitting a layer of gentle, restrained treasure light that harmonizes perfectly with Ning Zhuo’s aura.

Ning Zhuo mobilizes his divine sense, transforming it into a stream of light that enters his brow, into the upper Dantian—remarkably obedient, like an extension of his own arm!

Once in the upper Dantian, the Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower immediately disperses golden radiance. As it attempts to expand its posture, the Buddha Heart Demon Seal lightly trembles, causing the golden radiance spread across the tower to retract instantly, being completely suppressed.

Ning Zhuo is not surprised by this scene: “Although the Buddha Heart Demon Seal and the Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower are both magic treasure level, there is a significant difference between them in suppressing Qi Fortune.”

“The main materials of the Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower are at most at the Golden Core level. However, I can’t even verify the level of the main material of the Buddha Heart Demon Seal, which is perfectly integrated.”

“While the Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower suppresses Qi Fortune, it is limited to individuals, unable to extend its influence to friends and family. The Buddha Heart Demon Seal should be comparable to the real body of the Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower, capable of suppressing the Qi Fortune of organizations.”

Since the Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower “lives stifled” in the Divine Sea Upper Dantian, Ning Zhuo mobilizes his divine sense to transfer it from the upper Dantian to the middle Dantian.

In the Middle Dantian Qi Sea, the Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower seems to breathe easily, the tower body gently trembles, once again dispersing clusters of golden radiance.

It attempts to occupy the center, but the center of the middle Dantian has always been a tornado pillar of Five Elements Mana.

The Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower tries to contend but finds it cannot compete, so it settles in one corner.

Ning Zhuo sees this and moves the Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower to the lower Dantian Essence Sea.

The center of the Essence Sea is similarly occupied by a blood pool, leaving no space for the Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower.

The Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower remains, but the Buddha’s Golden Radiance clashes with the Essence Sea’s environment, causing Ning Zhuo discomfort.

After three attempts, Ning Zhuo finally moves the Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower back to the Qi Sea Middle Dantian.

“I used three artifact refining methods successfully, thus the treasure can be received into all three Dantians.”

“But evidently, this magic treasure is best suited for the middle Dantian, because the Five Elements Qi Regulation Art is ultimately balanced and peaceful, while the Divine Sea and Essence Sea have notable biases towards Buddha and Demon respectively!”

“Besides, there’s another reason—this Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower has a unique feature—it’s a combination artifact.”

By now, Ning Zhuo has successfully refined it, thoroughly mastering this magic treasure, understanding its internal structure clearly.

The tower consists of three layers.

The first layer resembles a cell, with a Red Crystal Melting Furnace positioned centrally. The furnace walls emit a murky dark light, with a Sinborne Fire inside the furnace.

The second layer appears like a study, with streams of Purple Qi supporting a Green Jade Table, upon which an unbound book rests. The words “Merit and Achievement Book” are prominently displayed on the cover.

The third layer feels like a temple, with a large Black Stone Divine Throne placed centrally. On the throne sits a wooden statue of a Judge God, permeated with divine charm indicating god invocation success.

“Sinborne Fire, Sin Flame, Resentful Poison Phosphorus, Blood Evil Flame, Crimson Blight Spirit-Immolation, etc., are all lower-tier fire seeds of the Red Lotus Karma Fire. They possess certain characteristics of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, but at the same scale, their power is considerably weaker.”

“The real body of the Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower undoubtedly contains the Red Lotus Karma Fire. But in the tower gifted to the winner, the lower-tier fire seeds are used as replacements.”

Even though it is only Sinborne Fire, Ning Zhuo feels pleased.

After all, it is a fire seed.

Throughout his travels, he once acquired a Wood Fire but has already exhausted it.

Of course, in terms of alchemy and artifact refining value, Sinborne Fire is far inferior to Wood Fire.

“The ’Merit and Achievement Book’…” Ning Zhuo is very familiar with this cultivation technique.

This is because the method originates from Confucianism, but it has become very widespread, widely used in today’s Cultivation Kingdom!

The creator of the “Merit and Achievement Book” is a Confucian sage, Duke Dingwen Ding Ming, who draws Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi, applies Human Daoist Law, thus enabling the assessment of merits, allows for the evaluation of achievements, serving as the guiding principle for the governance structure and measurement of civil and military affairs in the Cultivation Kingdom.

“It is said that Duke Dingwen Ding Ming mastered Confucian classics. Using the ’Classic of Filial Piety’ to define ’Nine Rites of Merit’, with the ’Zhou Rites’ to shape ’Six Methods of Merit Evaluation’, through ’Spring and Autumn Annals’ to discern human affairs, underwent numerous natural catastrophes and earthly tribulations during the creation of the ’Merit and Achievement Book’, ultimately nearly exhausting the immense cultural lineage of Jixia Academy, achieving success with arduous effort.”

Judge God Statue in the third layer of the tower is also essential.

“The ’Merit and Achievement Book’ alone is only a human means. With successful god invocation, leveraging the divine skills, one can utilize the powers of Heaven and Earth.”

“The combination forms the cornerstone of the Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower’s ability to distinguish merit and demonic deeds.”

“The true body of the Merit and Achievement Slaughter Tower comprises six components.”

“The base with the Good Leaf Lotus Platform, the body with Formless Glaze, the top with Karma Mantra Pearl, along with the first layer containing Red Lotus Karma Fire, the second layer with ’Merit and Achievement Book’, and the third layer featuring the Underworld Judge God Statue.”
