Chapter 448 - Forging the Wood Suppression Stele

"Big Brother Liu, there's a stench of blood here!" Rather than calling this a house, it was more like a heavily damaged courtyard with one of the houses without any roof. The other houses were intact, but a faint reek of blood came from inside.

"Someone died here not long ago, and it should belong to the previous owner." Liu Wuxie scanned the place with his divine sense and saw blood stains on the wall. He took out a Water Cleanse Talisman to clean the house until the blood stench had disappeared.

The two were exhausted after a busy day. They finally relaxed, and Gu Yu sat on a meditation mat.

Liu Wuxie glanced at Gu Yu before he walked out of the house. He took out several array flags and placed them around the courtyard.

The array flags couldn't stop an expert in the Astral River Realm, but it was more than enough to deal with those in the Heavenly Phase Realm.

Gu Yu followed Liu Wuxie out of the house and watched him set up a spiritual array. He asked, "Big Brother Liu, are you setting up a Seven Dipper Array?"

"You're also versed in spiritual arrays?" Liu Wuxie's eyes lit up. Gu Yu had a mysterious air around him, and he planned to investigate if a Gu Clan existed in the Southern Province after returning to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

After all, the Gu Clan couldn't be unknown with an expert in the True Profound Realm.

"My grandfather did teach me, but I never found it particularly interesting," Gu Yu said openly, revealing that his grandfather had covered a wide range of topics over the years.

"Come and help me set it up since you're versed in spiritual arrays!" Liu Wuxie didn't press any further because everyone had their secrets. With Gu Yu's help, the Seven Dipper Array was soon set up.

A faint halo enveloped the entire courtyard. The objective of this spiritual array wasn't to kill but to defend. Once everything was taken care of, Liu Wuxie finally relaxed.

The sky had turned dark, and the Blood Sea Abyssal Island was still brightly lit at night, even more bustling than in the day. This was because most cultivators would look for Blood Abyssal Stones in the mines during the day and only return to the city at night.

Many stayed at the mines at night to look for Blood Abyssal Stones while everyone had returned.

The mine was divided into five sections, three controlled by the three major forces, while the Abyssal Clan and Sea Demon Clan controlled the other two.

A commotion erupted outside the courtyard, and the loud banging on the door startled Liu Wuxie. When he stepped out in the courtyard, he found three men standing outside, clearly intoxicated.

"Open the door, or we'll kill all of you!" The stench of alcohol was overwhelming.

Gu Yu followed closely behind Liu Wuxie and was on guard.

Liu Wuxie opened the gate. Even though it was night, the moonlight made the city as bright as day. Assuming the three were merely drunk and seeking trouble, he asked, "What do you want?"

"This courtyard belongs to us now. Get lost!" The trio walked towards Liu Wuxie, but a halo blocked them from the courtyard.

"We bought this courtyard today, so why should we give it to you three?" Liu Wuxie was also on guard. These three weren't weak and were in the low level of the Heavenly Phase Realm. Such cultivation was common on the Blood Sea Abyssal Island.

"This is precisely the reason why we want it!" The man in the middle sneered and struck the spiritual array with his palm. But the spiritual array only released ripples and was utterly unaffected by his attack.

If they could seize a courtyard and sell it away, they could profit 500,000 spirit stones, which was a snatch.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Liu Wuxie's eyes. He didn't expect to be provoked on his first day on the Blood Sea Abyssal Island.

"Big Brother Liu, they can't break the spiritual array!" Gu Yu wasn't worried because the Seven Dipper Aray was incredibly powerful among all defensive spiritual arrays.

"I hope they can break it soon," Liu Wuxie smiled bitterly. The loud banging had alerted the other cultivators in the surroundings, who came out to watch. The more people gathered in the surroundings, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.

After failing to break the spiritual array with one strike, the three were furious and drew their weapons to attack the spiritual array.

"You have a lot of nerves. We bought this courtyard from the Ding Feng Hall, and you want to seize it? Who will dare to buy houses from the Ding Feng Hall?" Liu Wuxie's voice was loud, and he sneered as he looked towards a corner. This was the Ding Feng Hall's territory, and their people were nearby.

At the very least, safety was guaranteed because Ding Feng Hall's reputation would suffer a blow if their territory weren't safe. Cultivators who bought properties from the Ding Feng Hall would also leave and turn to the other two forces.

His words achieved the desired effect as three men emerged from the shadows with a grim expression.

"Wang Dali, what are you three doing here? Get lost!" The three were donned in the Ding Feng Hall's uniform, seeming to hold a significant position. Although Ding Feng Hall's development in recent years wasn't comparable to the other two forces, it was still prosperous under the management of two leaders.

"I pay my respect to Captain Zhang. We had too much to drink, and we will leave immediately." The man named Wang Dali immediately sobered up and nodded at the three captains from the Ding Feng Hall respectfully.

"Get lost, and don't cause any trouble here!" Captain Zhang waved his hand and chased them away because this was Ding Feng Hall's territory.

Wang Dali and the other two men glared at Liu Wuxie before leaving, indicating that this wasn't over. After all, how could they possibly give up 500,000 spirit stones so easily?

Liu Wuxie and Gu Yu had relied on the protection of the spiritual array to avoid a confrontation. Without it, a fight would have been inevitable. Liu Wuxie knew that the Ding Feng Hall was unreliable; they only acted to protect their own reputation rather than out of any real intention to assist him.

Peace soon returned to the courtyard, but Liu Wuxie's brows furrowed deeper.

"On a nearby street, Wang Dali and Captain Zhang walked side by side, appearing quite familiar with each other. "Captain Zhang, why did you hold me back? If there's a chance for spirit stones, we won't leave you behind," Wang Dali said.

"The hall masters have been strict recently, and we should minimize private looting in the Ding Feng Hall's territory as much as possible. Do it elsewhere if you want to find a victim." Captain Zhang glanced at Liu Wuxie's courtyard, and he had made his point.

Their conversation was private, but Liu Wuxie saw it. When he returned to the courtyard, he didn't cultivate but took out several materials, planning to forge the Wood Suppression Stele.

Since he had obtained the Heavenstore Wood, he hadn't had time to forge it. Now, however, he had the perfect opportunity to forge it into the Wood Suppression Stele to protect his liver and strengthen himself.

Even if he couldn't reach the ninth-level Heavenly Dipper Realm, it could still boost his strength significantly.

Time was tight, and Liu Wuxie had to complete forging it within a day.

A terrifying flame engulfed the entire house as he worked. Gu Yu sat quietly nearby, observing intently. Liu Wuxie didn't mind Gu Yu's presence, as his grandfather likely had taught him the basics of forging.

Liu Wuxie had gathered a lot of materials for the Wood Suppression Stele after killing so many people, and even Gu Yu watched in awe.

Gu Yu's grandfather had taught him forging techniques, but his technique seemed much weaker than Liu Wuxie's. The difference wasn't in the technique but in the control over spiritual runes.

Liu Wuxie's control of spiritual runes was superb; he could handle any spiritual rune as he wished.

The Heavenstore Wood hovered in the air as Liu Wuxie formed seals, injecting spiritual runes into the wood.

"Big Brother Liu, aren't you worried that the Heavenstore Wood might not withstand so many spiritual runes?" Gu Yu asked, concerned. He noted that while ordinary spiritual treasures typically required only a few hundred runes, Liu Wuxie was embedding thousands and showed no sign of stopping.

"Ordinary spiritual treasures can't withstand large amounts of spiritual runes because of the lack of expansion array, which limits their capacity," Liu Wuxie explained as he continued forging.

Gu Yu was shocked and quickly jotted Liu Wuxie's words down for future study.

After over five thousand spiritual runes were injected, the Heavenstore Wood began to change shape, forming a palm-sized stele.

By now, it was dawn, but Liu Wuxie had no intention of going out. He planned to refine the Wood Suppression Stele first and then continue to fuse the other materials into it.

The luster on the Wood Suppression Stele grew increasingly brighter and even showed signs of becoming a xiantian treasure. The process continued till noon before he was done forging it.

He had exhausted most of his materials. He was only left with over a million spirit stones and a groove of stalactite essence. He had been consuming the stalactite essence daily to cleanse his physique. Despite no increase in his cultivation, his strength had been rising rapidly.

He didn't rest and asked Gu Yu to keep a watch because he planned to fuse the Wood Suppression Stele into his internal organ.

He had barely survived the last time he integrated the Earth Suppression Stele into his body. Thus, he had to be careful this time. Even so, this time would be much smoother with his previous experience.

The pain was mild when the Wood Suppression Stele entered his liver, given the regenerative properties of wood. When the Wood Suppression Stele entered his liver, a flow of energy transmitted from the Earth Suppression Stele to help it recover.

A day later, the gate in the liver opened up, and another universe was behind it, with the Wood Suppression Stele seated in it.

Liu Wuxie's cultivation began to soar and reached the pinnacle of the eighth-level Heavenly Dipper Realm, which was only one step away from the ninth.

What's going on? There's a bridge connecting my spleen and liver. Liu Wuxie was shocked. He had no prior experience refining the Suppression Steles and could only explore it himself.

Will my organs connect if I refine the other three Suppression Steles into my internal organs? A bold thought rose in Liu Wuxie's mind.

It seemed possible, judging from the current situation. Once the cycle of five elements was formed, his true essence would only deplete if the consumption far exceeded the cycle. This meant his true essence wouldn't be exhausted even if he fought for ten days and nights.
