Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

After a few breaths, the Refined Yang Umbrella fell from the sky, landing on the ground with a "thump" and remaining motionless.

The Evil-warding Umbrella, however, had long since returned to its tranquil state.

Zhang Yuanjing looked at the two umbrellas on the ground with lingering fear, hesitating whether to leave immediately or take the Evil-warding Umbrella with him. After all, he needed this object to find a way out.

However, it was clear that the old man had tampered with the forging of this umbrella, and it was hard to say whether it would meet the requirements of the stone tablet and gain recognition.

He couldn't help but think that if he hadn't restrained himself when he obtained the jade pendant and had recited that incantation first, he wouldn't be Zhang Yuanjing now, but the old man.

And an umbrella refined using a method different from that shown on the stone tablet might not be the Evil-warding Umbrella at all, but more likely a means to control the Refined Yang Umbrella.

Fortunately, he hadn't been reckless and had avoided the old man's trick. Opening the jade pendant when facing the Refined Yang Umbrella had turned out to be a blessing in disguise, causing the old man's remnant soul and the umbrella spirit to suffer mutual damage, ultimately saving his life.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast walked over and stood in front of the Refined Yang Umbrella, its green eyes gleaming with a dazzling light, shining upon the umbrella.

"How is it?" Zhang Yuanjing approached and asked.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast raised its head and squeaked at Zhang Yuanjing a few times.

Ape Thirteen said, "It says the spirit in this umbrella is extremely weak and currently unable to cause harm."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanjing breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Let's ignore it and leave this place first."

He grabbed the Evil-warding Umbrella in his hand. Even if its origins were questionable, it was still the only one he had.

Just as he was about to step out of the hall, the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast squeaked a few more times.

Ape Thirteen was stunned for a moment, then translated using his divine sense, "Yuanjing, the Suanni Beast is asking if you want to subdue this umbrella."

"Subdue this umbrella?" Zhang Yuanjing pointed at the Refined Yang Umbrella. "Even if its spiritual consciousness is damaged, it's still at the level of an Innate Spiritual Treasure. How can a Core Formation cultivator like me subdue it? A slight carelessness could lead to a backlash!"

"The Suanni Beast says that since the black shadow could use that Five-Colored Flower Umbrella to restrain the Refined Yang Umbrella, you can too."

Zhang Yuanjing was stunned. Yes, why not give it a try!

He then said, "I'll refine this umbrella first and see if it works."

He sat down cross-legged, holding the Evil-warding Umbrella in his hand, and guided a strand of mana into the umbrella.

Refining a magical treasure was nothing more than warming it with mana and attaching one's divine sense to establish a connection, so that it could be used as easily as one's own limbs.

As soon as his mana entered the Evil-warding Umbrella, he felt a resistance, much like a cultivator had left behind a divine sense imprint and mana mark in advance.

However, this was just water without a source. He urged his mana and charged fiercely, breaking through the barrier and pouring it into all parts of the umbrella.

After the mana flowed throughout the Evil-warding Umbrella, he then transferred his soul power into it, clearing away the remaining divine sense imprints and leaving his own.

After about an hour, Zhang Yuanjing refined the Evil-warding Umbrella once, mastering its application, and indeed found that this magical treasure, in addition to its offensive and defensive capabilities, had another use: to restrain the Refined Yang Umbrella.

The old man in the statue, he didn't know what relationship he had with this King Xue God, specially developed this umbrella, is to deal with the Refined Yang Umbrella refined by King Xue God.

And King Xue God didn't know what he was thinking, but he left the method of refining the Evil-warding Umbrella in the side hall. Although it was hidden, it was not impossible to discover as long as the method was correct.

He just didn't know if the Evil-warding Umbrella could help him escape the tomb. If not, then subduing this severely damaged Innate Spiritual Treasure would be of no use.

At this moment, the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast began to squeak.

"Yuanjing, it says you should quickly use the Evil-warding Umbrella to restrain the Refined Yang Umbrella. As long as you break through this umbrella's defense, it can use illusion to make the weak umbrella spirit completely fall asleep. Then, you seize the opportunity to imprint your divine sense, and you will most likely succeed," Ape Thirteen said.

"If it fails, will the umbrella spirit backlash?"

"No. The Suanni Beast says there is only one chance. If it fails, the umbrella spirit will collapse, and it will be difficult for the Refined Yang Umbrella to give birth to spiritual consciousness again."

"Then let's try it. It's good if it works, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't."

Zhang Yuanjing activated the Evil-warding Umbrella and slowly covered the Refined Yang Umbrella. This umbrella did not resist at all, only trembled twice and then stopped moving.

This was probably because the umbrella spirit thought that Zhang Yuanjing's divine soul was too weak and there was no need to fear him.

If Zhang Yuanjing's divine soul dared to leave his body and enter the umbrella, it would be happy to swallow it in one gulp as a supplement. Therefore, it also harbored the intention of deliberately showing weakness, luring Zhang Yuanjing to send out his soul power.

When the Evil-warding Umbrella was attached to the Refined Yang Umbrella, the originally integrated aura of the Refined Yang Umbrella became mottled, revealing many flaws.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast had been waiting for a long time, and a pair of green eyes released jade-like light, projecting into the Refined Yang Umbrella.

Since its birth, the umbrella spirit of the Refined Yang Umbrella had been trapped in this tomb, and the only spiritual treasures it usually interacted with were a few fellow prisoners. It had no knowledge at all and did not know what the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast intended to do.

When the green light shone into the interior of the Refined Yang Umbrella, the umbrella spirit realized the danger, but it was too late to stop it.

The warm green light quickly shone on its body, and it immediately felt lazy all over. Although its strong spirituality was always warning it of danger, the severely damaged it could not resist the comfort of this warm light, and it only wanted to have a good sleep and recover as soon as possible.

Before long, it fell into a deep sleep.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast opened its eyes wide, and the green light became even more intense, like a ball of green fire, covering the umbrella spirit.

After a few breaths, the umbrella spirit completely relaxed, quietly slumbering, just like when it was first born.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast maintained the green light unchanged and called out softly.

"Yuanjing, you can imprint your divine sense now."

Zhang Yuanjing released his soul power, and following the trajectory of the green light, he quickly found the umbrella spirit, which was like a ball of soft cotton wool.

At this time, the umbrella spirit was extremely weak, like a newly born spiritual consciousness, dazed and seemingly about to dissipate at any moment.

However, only the spiritual consciousness at this time is the easiest to subdue.

If it is a spiritual treasure that a cultivator nurtures on his own, refining it with mana and soul power every day, once the spiritual consciousness is born, it will naturally carry the cultivator's divine sense imprint. Thereafter, as the spiritual consciousness grows, this divine sense imprint will also grow, ensuring control over the spiritual treasure.

This Refined Yang Umbrella, the spiritual consciousness has already been born, and it will be much more difficult to imprint a divine sense mark.

If the soul power is too strong, it is easy to directly collapse this point of spiritual consciousness. If it is too weak, it cannot be effectively controlled.

Zhang Yuanjing first used a weaker soul power to engrave a faint mark on this spiritual consciousness, and then continuously strengthened it.

At the same time, he closely observed the state of the spiritual consciousness. If there were any signs of trembling, he would slow down first. After it recovered its calm under the comfort of the green light, he would continue to strengthen it.

In this way, after a long six hours of patient and meticulous spellcasting, this divine sense imprint finally took shape.

Then, he gently stroked it with his divine sense, and the divine sense imprint sank into the spiritual consciousness, merging with it into one.

At this point, he finally succeeded.
