Chapter 14898 Again
Ling Xiao knew that Ji Mingkong was looking at him.
He also knew that he had let Ji Mingkong down many times.
This woman managed a vast empire for him, which delayed her cultivation, and she followed in his footsteps time and time again.
He also wanted to get closer to Ji Mingkong and have a heart-to-heart talk.
But he knew he didn't have that much time. Right now, the most important thing was to improve his strength and refine the seven-star high-grade holy rune stone.
Only in this way can he protect Ji Mingkong, protect the Batian Empire, and protect all the people he cherishes.
For the sake of this goal, he cannot be soft-hearted and cannot waste time on personal feelings.
Ji Mingkong sighed and said nothing more until Ling Xiao's figure completely disappeared, at which point she regained her composure.
She wasn't a little girl. From the Tianlong Continent to the present Bai Ze Continent, she had followed Ling Xiao, and they had been through so much together. She knew exactly what Ling Xiao was thinking, and she guessed that Ling Xiao knew exactly what she was thinking too.
The two understood each other without saying a word, so there was no need for further words.
"Mingkong, what are you thinking about?"
Weiwei moved closer to Ji Mingkong, her big, round eyes fixed on her, and couldn't help but ask.
Ji Mingkong smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just feel that our Emperor is working too hard, carrying all the burdens on his shoulders. I really want to help him, but unfortunately, I don't have the ability."
"Mingkong, you're talking nonsense again. You've managed the Batian Empire very well and haven't caused His Majesty any trouble. That's the greatest help you can give him. I think His Majesty knows that perfectly well."
"That's true!" Ji Mingkong smiled. Everyone has their own things to do, and everyone should do their job to the best of their ability.
"Let's go cultivate too, let's not waste time."
With a shout, she entered the cultivation room first. Now that she had resources, cultivation techniques, and a good cultivation room, if she didn't seize the time to improve her strength, she feared she would fall further and further behind Ling Xiao.
Meanwhile, Ling Xiao had already returned to the Holy Rune Tower.
He was in a very good state at this moment. Gone was the previous anxiety and unease. All that remained was pure confidence and calmness. He had entered a state that even surprised himself.
A clear and tranquil mind!
This state is excellent for both research and cultivation. In this state, a person's comprehension will be greatly enhanced, their thinking will become more agile, and they will not be affected by anything from the outside world.
He sat back down on the refining table.
There are various materials and tools for refining high-grade seven-star holy rune stones on display.
Looking at the materials, he did not rush to start, but carefully analyzed them, constructing each holy rune in his mind.
After a long time, he finally began to take action.
There was no one around.
Even high-ranking officials, including Jiang Chuan, dared not come here to disturb Ling Xiao unless something happened to Ling Xiao or he had some need.
In Ling Xiao's mind, seven different elements formed a clear pattern, intertwining and merging with each other.
The trajectory of each element became incredibly clear. Which element was easier to fuse with which element, how to fuse them, and on which sacred rune to fuse them became increasingly clear.
Beginning with crimson fire, it ignites the divine power of heaven and earth, setting the foundation of the entire Sacred Rune Stone like a wildfire, establishing the core structure of the Sacred Rune Stone.
With orange soil as its base, it is thick and stable, bearing the power of the other six elements. As solid as the earth, it makes the entire sacred rune structure as stable as a rock.
Guided by the yellow wind, light and agile, it draws the six elements to flow in an orderly manner, breaking down the barriers between them and allowing the power to flow smoothly.
Green water is gentle and continuous, harmonizing the conflicts and frictions between different elements, resolving their antagonistic forces, and bringing the seven forces into harmony.
Azure lightning forms the edge, fierce and domineering, endowing the sacred runes with earth-shattering explosive power, like thunder piercing the sky, concealing unparalleled sharpness.
The blue ice is solid, its frigid chill freezing the trajectory of all elements, stabilizing the entire framework of the sacred runes, and allowing the raging power to be contained and prevented from spiraling out of control.
Purple Lightning marks both the end and the beginning; it is the final power to be incorporated into the seven elements, yet it is also the most crucial link.
Once integrated, it will in turn nourish and strengthen the previous six elements, forming a perfect closed loop that is cyclical and ever-renewing.
That's right, that's it.
Once everything was in place, Ling Xiao suddenly picked up the Sacred Rune Brush and began drawing on the Sacred Rune Stone.
A crystal-clear sacred rune was placed there; only by circulating divine power could one draw sacred runes on it with a sacred rune pen.
Moreover, this kind of drawing is closer to seal carving, with the brushstrokes penetrating directly through the surface of the sacred pattern crystal and merging into it.
Of course, to do this, fire is necessary.
This is similar to weapon crafting.
Saint-faced crystals gradually soften at high temperatures, making them more suitable for drawing.
However, the temperature must be carefully controlled. If it is too low, it will not achieve the desired effect; if it is too high, it will melt the sacred rune crystal, thus preventing the formation of the sacred rune array from being completed.
Soon, Ling Xiao completed his first holy rune, a red flame holy rune, which was also the most basic one.
Once you get off to a good start, things become relatively easy.
Next comes the second sacred rune, which represents the earth and Houtu. This rune makes the sacred rune stone more solid, preventing it from being accidentally released before it is even used.
The third sacred rune is yellow, representing the infusion of wind element. This sacred rune can make the entire sacred rune array more dynamic.
The fourth sacred rune is green, representing water. This is a very important part, as it can achieve a better fusion of the previous three sacred runes, reducing or even eliminating the conflicts between them.
The fifth sacred rune is quite domineering, representing cyan lightning; this stroke was very difficult.
If not handled carefully, all the previous drawings will be completely wasted.
Ling Xiao was still in a state of clarity, but his body still showed signs of tension. Sweat dripped from his forehead, and although it was quickly evaporated by the high temperature, it still showed his nervousness.
Ling Xiao's divine power and soul were greatly depleted, to the point that his face turned somewhat pale. Fortunately, his cultivation foundation was excellent, so his divine power was much stronger than that of ordinary martial artists.
Not to mention those of the same level, even those with a higher realm than him do not possess his profound divine power.
As for his soul power, it goes without saying that his soul is incredibly powerful thanks to the Overlord Martial Soul. In fact, if we compare soul power alone, he might be even more terrifying than the eight strongest warriors in the Chaotic Martial Realm.
Unfortunately, his divine soul did not translate into combat power; it could only enhance his ability to resist soul techniques.
Of course, using this soul power to refine the sacred rune stone is a perfect match, achieving twice the result with half the effort.
After completing the tense and exciting fifth sacred rune, Ling Xiao breathed a slight sigh of relief and then began to draw the sixth sacred rune.
Because he had drawn six-star high-grade holy runes before, the first six holy runes, though difficult, were actually achievable. The most troublesome one was the last holy rune.
He had failed nearly twenty times before.
Each time, it was the last holy rune that caused all previous efforts to be wasted.
