Ouyang Jiu'er agrees to help Ye Tian retrieve the Dark Dull Gold Vein from the Forbidden Insect Nest. She explains that using a drop of blood from the Utmost Calamity Crow will make the nest sever its own connection to the vein, avoiding detection. Ye Tian's clone uses the blood, successfully triggering the severance and collects the vein.

“Hurry, let’s move out!”

Ye Tian wasted no time. By employing the Utmost Calamity Crow’s Blood, he severed his own connection to the vortex. This action inevitably caused a disturbance within the Forbidden Insect Nest, alerting the Forbidden Insect Race to the anomaly.

Their arrival was imminent.

Furthermore, the Forbidden Insect Race possessed intelligence. If they discovered the Dark Dull Gold Vein had been removed, they would likely suspect an outsider's infiltration. After all, the Forbidden Insect Race wouldn't take the Dark Dull Gold Vein themselves; it had to have been acquired by someone from beyond their territory.

This left Ye Tian with a minuscule window of opportunity. A swift departure was paramount.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ye Tian traversed the area with remarkable speed. Thankfully, his Forbidden Talent, Concealment, offered exceptional stealth capabilities, allowing him to evade detection by the patrolling Forbidden Insect Race members.

Soon, a contingent of forbidden insects reached the location where the Dark Dull Gold Vein had once been.

Upon observing the absence of the Dark Dull Gold Vein pile, they expressed confusion. However, due to their limited intelligence, they merely reported the situation to the lord-level members of the Forbidden Insect Race.

Very shortly, the more intelligent individuals within the Forbidden Insect Race were apprised of the circumstances and immediately initiated a search for the intruder’s whereabouts.

Within the depths of the Forbidden Insect Nest, lord-level forbidden insects were also mobilized, commencing their pursuit of the trespasser.

At this precise moment…

Ye Tian had already navigated the intricate passageways of the Forbidden Insect Nest, propelling himself through at his maximum velocity.

Before long, he emerged from the nest entirely and fled without the slightest hesitation.

A short while after Ye Tian’s escape, the two lord-level forbidden insects assigned to guard the nest initiated their search of the surrounding areas, extending their sweep into adjacent territories.

Sensing the formidable energy emanating from the two lord-level forbidden insects from a considerable distance, Ye Tian immediately grasped that the Forbidden Insect Race had detected an intrusion. He felt a surge of relief for his swift evasion, recognizing that success would not have been assured otherwise.

The journey ahead proved considerably safer. In the absence of lord-level forbidden insects, the other members of the Forbidden Insect Race were incapable of detecting him.

On his return journey to the base, Ye Tian even encountered several wandering forbidden insects, whom he dispatched with casual ease.

Nine Rivers Base.

Upon reaching the base, Ye Tian proceeded directly to Ouyang Jiu’er’s dwelling.

“Brother Ye, how did it go? Did you manage to succeed?” Ouyang Jiu’er inquired with palpable urgency.

“Success!” Ye Tian projected an image from a section of his internal world, vividly displaying the Dark Dull Gold Vein.

“It truly is the Dark Dull Gold Vein!” Ouyang Jiu’er exclaimed, her excitement clearly evident as she identified it instantly.

However, the Dark Dull Gold Vein had been tainted by the Utmost Calamity Crow’s Blood and required purification.

Ouyang Jiu’er and Ye Tian labored diligently for an extensive period, ultimately managing to extract the blood, albeit with some of the Utmost Calamity Crow’s Blood being unavoidably wasted during the process.

The Dark Dull Gold Vein presented a formidable challenge, exhibiting extreme toughness and resisting refinement. Ye Tian wielded his Forbidden Weapon, the Heaven-Slaying Spear, in conjunction with his Forbidden Talent, Dark Spear, to meticulously work at splitting the vein. After a prolonged and arduous effort, he finally succeeded in dividing the Dark Dull Gold Vein into two distinct portions.

One segment was presented to Ouyang Jiu’er, while Ye Tian retained the other for his personal use.

Ouyang Jiu’er carefully secured her share of the Dark Dull Gold Vein, while casually entrusting Ye Tian with an inheritance pertaining to the crafting of Forbidden Weapons.

“This constitutes a paramount Forbidden Weapon refining technique, exceedingly rare and of immense value. Without a top-tier refining methodology, the creation of a truly ultimate Forbidden Weapon is exceedingly difficult; one can, at best, only fashion a high-grade Forbidden Weapon!” Ouyang Jiu’er elaborated.

“My deepest gratitude!” Ye Tian responded sincerely.

Subsequently, Ye Tian returned to the Blackwind Mountain Base, where he commenced his dedicated study and contemplation of Forbidden Weapon crafting.

Initially, he immersed himself in the study and comprehension of the premier Forbidden Weapon refining technique, known as the Black Heaven Forging Art.

Once he achieved a complete understanding of the art, Ye Tian extracted a modest quantity of Dark Dull Gold and began the intricate process of infusing it into his Heaven-Slaying Spear.

The Heaven-Slaying Spear, a middle-grade Forbidden Weapon, was not substantially distanced from achieving high-grade status. However, for his current level of strength, such a weapon proved insufficient.

Now, possessing a substantial reserve of Dark Dull Gold, he was empowered to forge a weapon of a more advanced caliber.

Within an environment conducive to accelerated time, Ye Tian meticulously refined his Heaven-Slaying Spear day by day. As the Dark Dull Gold was progressively incorporated and his mastery of the Black Heaven Forging Art deepened, the spear’s inherent sharpness and its command over Forbidden Rules experienced continuous and significant augmentation.

One day,

Ye Tian’s Heaven-Slaying Spear finally underwent a transformation, ascending to the status of a high-grade Forbidden Weapon, rendering it vastly more potent than it had been previously.

Yet, Ye Tian persisted in infusing Dark Dull Gold, unconcerned with its cost or potential waste. Any other cultivator, even a Half-Step Domain Ancestor, would hesitate to squander such a precious material so freely.

Through the considerable expenditure of Dark Dull Gold, the Heaven-Slaying Spear underwent another significant enhancement, ascending to the rank of a premier Forbidden Weapon.

“Not half bad! The Heaven-Slaying Spear is now immensely sharper than before!” Ye Tian declared with evident delight.

Possessing such a high-tier Forbidden Weapon bolstered his combat prowess substantially compared to his earlier state.

However, Ye Tian’s ambition wasn’t sated with a single supreme Forbidden Weapon. With a seemingly limitless supply of Dark Dull Gold at his disposal, crafting multiple such artifacts was well within his reach.

This time, he pivoted from forging another offensive artifact, instead choosing to craft a full-body defensive armor set.

Ordinarily, crafting complete defensive armor would be considered an outrageous extravagance, a gross misuse of resources. For Ye Tian, however, such considerations were nonexistent.

Devoting additional time and a substantial quantity of Dark Dull Gold, Ye Tian meticulously forged a complete suit of armor, bestowing upon it the name “Immortal Dull Armor.”

“Yue’er, Xingchen, Xingyue, and Xiao Yue also require Forbidden Weapons. Yet, equipping them with offensive artifacts of the highest caliber might prove imprudent. They frequently engage in combat, and the conspicuousness of a top-tier Forbidden Weapon could easily draw unwanted attention and danger. Conversely, bestowing them with defensive armor would allow them to activate it in critical moments, potentially saving their lives!”

Consequently, Ye Tian proceeded to forge four sets of top-tier Forbidden Weapon-level defensive armor, intended for Xiao Yue, Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingyue, and Ye Yu.

Upon beholding the four sets of Forbidden Weapon armor presented before them, Xiao Yue, Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingyue, and Ye Yu were rendered utterly speechless.

As established Dao Ancestors, they possessed a keen understanding of the immense value of supreme Forbidden Weapons. Even cultivators of the Invincible Dao Ancestor realm rarely possessed such items; typically, only Half-Step Domain Ancestors could boast top-tier Forbidden Weapons, and even then, these were seldom full-body defensive armors! Such luxury was almost unheard of!

When Ye Tian elucidated his acquisition of a vast hoard of Dark Dull Gold and detailed its versatile applications, the four individuals swiftly grasped the extraordinary circumstances.

With profuse gratitude, they accepted the defensive armors, solemnly promising Ye Tian they would never reveal them carelessly. They vowed to utilize them only in the direst of emergencies.

Furthermore, Ye Tian allocated a portion of the Dark Dull Gold to each of them, enabling the enhancement of their existing offensive Forbidden Weapons. At the very least, this would permit their weapons to reach the mid-grade Forbidden Weapon tier, which was more than adequate for their present cultivation levels.

Should they desire further upgrades for their Forbidden Weapons in the future, they were informed they could return to Ye Tian for additional Dark Dull Gold. This arrangement ensured both their safety and practicality.
