Chapter 780: Still Ungrateful?

The Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield was a Dharmic treasure fit for Spirit Immortals within the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect. As its level increased, its power would also increase exponentially. Once one could refine it to the eighth level, whether it be the protection it provided to its user or the 40% reflection when hit with an opponents’ divine power and spells, they all made this treasure shocking even within the Divine Eye civilization.

However, it might be easy to refine the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield at first, but refining it to its perfected stage was way too difficult. Even among the artifact refinement masters within the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect, there were less than ten of them who could refine this treasure to its eighth level!

So... even if the treasure was very widespread, those that could be exchanged for by the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect disciples were only those that were at the third or fourth level. Those Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shields could only be considered Soul Conduit Dharmic treasures. As for those at the fifth level and above, they were extremely rare.

However, just like Wang Baole’s judgment when he was first exposed to the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield, the few masters in the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect who could refine this treasure to its eighth level all believed that it must have a ninth level, a tenth level, and maybe even higher levels than that!

They also previously did research because of this, wanting to achieve a breakthrough. One could imagine that once any one of them achieved that, both their status and position would far exceed their previous status and position. They would then become the only irreplaceable person in the sect!

But the further one went, the harder it was to refine the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield. So until today, the maximum level of the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield was its eighth level. Wang Baole’s original maximum was the seventh level, but the theories and refinement methods within the Divine Armament recipe Little Wu gave him had a huge impact on Wang Baole.

He gained many insights when trying to understand the recipe. Although he couldn’t completely use the Divine Armament recipe on the refinement of his Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield, Wang Baole could still apply some parts of it. Using part of the recipe that came from the Black Earth Empire, it could be said to be borrowing and could also be seen as a personal innovation by Wang Baole. One could even say it was brute force. Wang Baole started refining the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield via stacking!

Stacking had both its definition on the surface and other definitions. The former referred to how, in Wang Baole’s mind, since one level seven wasn’t enough, if he continuously gathered, imprinted, and stacked inscriptions onto his level seven Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield, it would raise its power infinitely in theory.

Wang Baole didn’t come up with this idea on his own. Actually, other masters had similar ideas. However, they needed to address two problems if they wanted to achieve this. One problem was ensuring that the Divine Justice Shield could withstand an increased number of inscriptions and not collapse due to the heavy burden. The second problem was creating enough inscriptions. After all, everything was limited.

These two problems became huge obstacles to the stacking method. One could only watch and sigh as the two problems were unable to be overcome.

But the method Wang Baole thought of could be said to be the latter method of the stacking method. He took inspiration from the disassembly and parasitism mentioned in the Divine Armament recipe. Using part of the Black Earth Empire’s methods as his foundation, Wang Baole combined several level seven Divine Justice Shields together to form a ring similar to an array formation!

The ring looked disassembled, but the moment it met an attack, it could instantly gather and form a level eight Divine Justice Shield for a moment!

Although the state couldn’t be maintained for long, the advantage provided was extremely obvious. As the defense system was formed by combining and stacking multiple Divine Justice Shields, it could disperse the enemy’s spell onto every Divine Justice Shield. Not only would that make the defense system very hard to break through, but while the level of reflection would seem like 40%, in reality, it would far exceed that!

To a certain extent, this could be considered as changing the structure of the Divine Justice Shield. One could even change its name. Once news of this spread out, it would definitely shock the entire Divine Sovereign Justice Sect!

But Wang Baole didn’t consider anything else right now. He was completely immersed in the stacking and combination of the Divine Justice Shield’s seventh level. Even if he received a voice transmission from Fairy Ling You, he would only give a brief reply and not bother too much about it. That was especially so when he received a voice transmission from a female cultivator who claimed she was Fairy Ling You’s younger sister and asking to buy Zhuo Yixian.

As for these small matters, Wang Baole simply ignored them. Perhaps it was due to this sort of stubbornness towards artifact refinement that he could reach the level of mastery he possessed today.

Several days later, when he combined ten level seven Divine Justice Shields together, he actually reached the eighth level of the Divine Justice Shield using this method!

He didn’t stop there. Wang Baole seemed to be completely obsessed with artifact refinement as he stared at the Divine Justice Shield in front of him with bloodshot eyes. He muttered technical jargon used for calculations that most people wouldn’t understand. After a moment, he raised his right hand, waved it, and started refining once again.

This time, he was going to use a hundred level seven Divine Justice Shields and combine them to reach a hitherto unseen ninth level!

Following the success of the ninth level, the excited Wang Baole received a voice transmission from Fairy Ling You’s younger sister once again. This time, her tone was obviously hostile, and she was very firm in her decision to buy Zhuo Yixian.

Buy Zhuo Yixian? Wang Baole didn’t take a close look and rejected her again. Afterward, he continued refining, his target being the tenth level.

As this process needed him to refine large amounts of Divine Justice Shields, Wang Baole sold many of his self-destructing battleships to the Ice Phoenix Legion and used his profits to buy the materials he needed.

Just like that, after he refined 500 level seven Divine Justice Shields and combined them together, he formed the tenth level that broke all previous limits!

The previously unseen tenth level had a reflection strength that shot up to 80% because it was refined using a different method. It could actually reflect 80% of all external power back to the enemy!

This was already considered scary, but what was scarier... was that Wang Baole was still not satisfied!

That’s too weak!

So, as Wang Baole sold off everything he owned that could be sold, he finally increased the number of level seven Divine Justice Shields he refined to 2000!

Combining them together, they formed... the twelfth level!

The reflection strength could also reach 120%!

Basically... for this Divine Armament like Dharmic treasure, if the enemy didn’t use their full strength, they would still be fine. But if they unleashed their full power... in the next moment, they would definitely understand what shooting themselves in the foot felt like!

At this moment, if the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s artifact refinement masters were to see this firsthand, they would be incredibly shocked while also feeling that it was strange... Truly, it was originally a fine Dharmic treasure, but under Wang Baole’s refinement, it felt somewhat unnatural.

But not only did Wang Baole not feel this way at all, he even thought that the Divine Justice Shield was still not stealthy enough. Therefore, he put in some thought and only left one level seven Divine Justice Shield floating around his body. While it caught people’s attention, he used the advantage given to him by his essence avatar and stored the remaining 1999 Divine Justice Shields in his body.

It was only after completing this that Wang Baole felt slightly satisfied. But as he was about to refine the thirteenth level, a sad thing happened... He ran out of money.

Right at this moment, the stubborn female cultivator who wanted to buy Zhuo Yixian sent another voice transmission. This time, her tone was extremely hostile.

“Long Nanzi, I’m right outside your cave abode. I will definitely buy this pet from you today!”

After Wang Baole noticed the voice transmission, he felt even weirder. He didn’t immediately walk out, instead infusing his consciousness into the donkey outside. After communicating with it, his expression became strange.

The lady who wanted to buy Zhuo Yixian was actually one of the onlookers watching Zhuo Yixian and Little Wu fight. Wang Baole didn’t know what got into her to make her like Zhuo Yixian so much, but she had already come to Wang Baole’s cave abode many times. Each time she came, she would bring some food for Zhuo Yixian. Perhaps she thought that Wang Baole was mistreating his pets and therefore wished to purchase Zhuo Yixian.

Could it be that after being rejected many times by me, she’s even more interested now? Wang Baole rubbed his chin. Narrowing his eyes, he suddenly spread out his consciousness and saw that there was a young lady outside his cave abode touching Zhuo Yixian’s head lovingly and speaking softly to him.

“Don’t worry, this time I’ll definitely bring you away. That Long Nanzi is too evil, he doesn’t even have a little bit of compassion. And you... you should be Little Wu, right? I can purchase you as well, would you like to come with me?”

After hearing that, Little Wu, who was standing at the other side, yawned. He showed a face of disinterest and rejected her.

Meanwhile, Zhuo Yixian nodded his head slightly. Watching to this point, Wang Baole raised his eyebrows and observed carefully again. He confirmed that he had noticed the appreciation and desire in Zhuo Yixian’s eyes. This made Wang Baole narrow his eyes.

Wang Baole held a high position back in the Federation and could be said to understand how people think to a certain degree. Naturally, he noticed that more than half of the emotions he saw in Zhuo Yixian’s eyes were his true feelings. Meanwhile, with his understanding of Zhuo Yixian, he knew that this person normally had big ambitions.

He’s still ungrateful? He thinks that the lady would be a better master than me? Wang Baole felt uncomfortable in his heart. It was truly like that. In this period of time, Zhuo Yixian naturally noticed the intentions of the female cultivator and unwittingly weighed the pros and cons in his heart. He felt that although Wang Baole was a Soul Conduit, he was pretty ordinary compared to the younger sister of the legion commander.

Despite having agreed in his heart thousands of times, he still feared Wang Baole very much. Hence, he could only hint to the female cultivator to go negotiate with Wang Baole.
