Since Su Ran was cultivating, Chen Fei naturally wasn’t in a hurry and simply waited by the side.
With nothing else to do, he took out the seal from his chest once again.
This object contained a complete inheritance of the Axe Dao. If he could gain its recognition, he would be able to wield its power.
Unfortunately, despite dripping so much of his blood onto it, this thing had never acknowledged him.
“I wonder if the Myriad Dao Technique of the Void Heaven Cauldron can refine this thing?” Chen Fei pondered.
He had witnessed the Void Heaven Cauldron’s terrifying ability to devour power. Even forces far stronger than himself—such as the century-old Silver Flood Dragon or the illusionary beasts on the Ultimate Difficulty Floating Bridge—had all been effectively devoured by the cauldron.
The Myriad Dao Technique not only had the ability to refine myriad laws but could also absorb the innate abilities of demonic beasts.
Because of this, Chen Fei wanted to test if he could use the Void Heaven Cauldron and the Myriad Dao Technique to refine the Axe Dao spirit weapon in his hands.
Without hesitation, he sat cross-legged and placed the seal in his palm.
Though the object wasn’t large, it was surprisingly heavy, weighing several thousand jin.
With a thought, the Void Heaven Cauldron trembled, and a terrifying suction force emanated from it, channeling through his body and onto the seal in his palm.
The moment the Void Heaven Cauldron’s suction force landed on the seal, the seemingly lifeless Axe Dao spirit weapon suddenly lit up.
The runes naturally imprinted on the seal seemed to come alive. Spiritual energy flowed rapidly through them, and a powerful force surged from the seal.
Boom!
A loud explosion erupted as the power within the seal clashed against the devouring force of the Void Heaven Cauldron.
Under the direct confrontation of these two forces, an immense shockwave sent Chen Fei flying.
Landing on the ground in a sorry state, he got up, covered in dust, only to find Su Ran staring at him with a look of astonishment.
“I didn’t expect this thing to be so formidable!” Chen Fei smiled awkwardly, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
Su Ran was amused by his predicament and chuckled. “This is an Axe Dao spirit weapon. Though I don’t know its exact grade, it is far beyond our reach.”
“Be careful not to hurt yourself,” she reminded him before resuming her cultivation.
Chen Fei looked at the Axe Dao spirit weapon, which had also been thrown aside by the impact, and felt unwilling to give up. He, a living person, had been humiliated by a mere object!
“The devouring power of the Void Heaven Cauldron was actually resisted, and I was nearly injured in the process.”
“My wife is right. This thing is truly extraordinary.”
“But the more remarkable it is, the more valuable it will be if I manage to control it. Wouldn’t it give me another powerful weapon in my arsenal?”
“Perhaps I could even use it against someone like Ye Chenxing, a Thousand-Seal Technique Spiritual Master!”
How could Chen Fei give up so easily?
This was a rare opportunity he had stumbled upon, and letting it sit idly by would be a huge waste.
After dusting himself off, he once again picked up the Axe Dao spirit weapon.
At this moment, the seal had returned to its original state. As he held it in his palm, it felt smooth and warm, like polished jade.
This time, instead of using the Void Heaven Cauldron to forcibly devour it, he secretly activated the Myriad Dao Technique, attempting to refine it through its unique method.
The Void Heaven Cauldron trembled again as spiritual energy surged, following the circulation of the Myriad Dao Technique.
A special rune formed within his body, then passed through his flesh and into the Axe Dao spirit weapon in his palm.
Buzz!
A barely perceptible sound resonated in his mind.
The seal in his hand trembled slightly, like a piece of tofu wobbling gently.
It did not resist!
Chen Fei was overjoyed. There was hope!
Encouraged, he continued operating the Myriad Dao Technique, repeatedly forming and embedding special runes into the seal.
As more and more runes merged into it, the tremors of the Axe Dao spirit weapon became increasingly intense.
When the final rune was engraved onto the seal, it once again emitted a radiant glow, its runes circulating with power as it floated into the air on its own.
“Is it working?”
Chen Fei’s heart surged with excitement.
However, before he could celebrate, the floating Axe Dao spirit weapon suddenly burst forth with a powerful light.
Boom!
Chen Fei was sent flying again!
This time, the impact was far worse than before. He crashed to the ground violently, his head ringing, and when he looked down, a deep, bone-revealing wound had appeared on his chest.
“Chen Fei, what were you doing just now?”
“Were you trying to refine it?”
Su Ran, once again disturbed by the commotion, looked at him in surprise.
“This thing seems to have its own consciousness. It looks like I really can’t refine it right now.”
Despite suffering another setback, Chen Fei stood up with a wry smile, channeling his spiritual energy to heal his wound.
“It’s effective!”
“But perhaps your cultivation level isn’t high enough. Your spiritual energy isn’t strong enough, which is why you suffered backlash.”
“When your cultivation grows stronger, you might be able to refine it using the same method and take control of this Axe Dao spirit weapon.”
Seeing Chen Fei’s mixture of frustration and determination, Su Ran responded with an unexpected remark.
“Really?” Chen Fei’s face lit up with joy.
“Of course. The refinement method you used seemed quite special and powerful. Once you reach the Dao Spiritual Master realm, you might actually be able to refine it.” Su Ran affirmed confidently.
“Great!”
Chen Fei had absolute trust in Su Ran’s words. He patted the dirt off himself and once again picked up the now-restored seal.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the seal had indeed undergone slight changes. The runes on it now carried faint traces of his unique aura.
The refinement had worked—just not enough to gain the weapon’s recognition.
This further confirmed Su Ran’s analysis. He could refine it using the Myriad Dao Technique, but his current cultivation was simply too weak to complete the process.
“At least it wasn’t all for nothing!”
Chen Fei joyfully stored the seal away, then patiently waited for Su Ran to finish her cultivation.
The rich spiritual energy in this place seemed endless, continuously replenishing itself each time Su Ran absorbed and refined it.
However, this replenishment wasn’t infinite.
After cultivating for a full hour, the surrounding spiritual energy stopped regenerating.
This made Chen Fei suspect that there were high-grade spirit stones, possibly even superior-grade ones, hidden nearby—only constrained by some kind of formation.
