Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

```

Of course, he could have gambled on the innate divine ability that might emerge when going from the Fifteenth Level to the Sixteenth Level, but...

doing so would likely deplete all the trade experience he had gained from those four hundred billion spirit stones.

He would no longer be able to improve either "Immortal Path·Hollow Void" or Formation.

"My 'high-dimensional cognition' foundation is myself; as my strength increases, I can have more 'keywords' to search and recognize more relevant information..."

He looked at the ancient tree. Without breaking through to the Hollow Void Realm, it seemed he couldn't produce new "keywords."

That is to say, he couldn't grow new branches.

So...

"The Domain Stabilizing Ring isn't something highly advanced. Could it be that I already have the information I need, but because the sheer volume of information is so vast, I've overlooked it?"

Alkaid mulled over this, setting aside any further increase in Artifact Refining rank and concentrating on searching for methods to upgrade the Gathering-Separation Ring into the Domain Stabilizing Ring.

There were many methods.

But he couldn't perform most of them.

"The level has risen too high. I can't use much of the data now, but it's still occupying brain space..."

Alkaid concentrated, patiently combing through his mind.

One day of searching, the immense volume of information gave him a slight headache.

"I need to change my approach."

Alkaid thought to himself.

If he assessed his Artifact Refining as belonging to the Fifteenth Level, his Formation was Tenth Level, and the most crucial path of cultivation, "Immortal Path·Hollow Void," was likewise Tenth Level.

His other skills, Demon Hunter had reached the Third Level, and Businessman, thanks to the recent overflow of experience, had risen to the Fourth Level.

"It's a bit messy. A Tenth Level Formation definitely can't block a Hollow Void powerhouse, and a Hollow Void powerhouse would disdain anything crafted by a Tenth Level Artifact Refiner..."

He rubbed his temples.

If he were a Hollow Void War Immortal, it would roughly match up.

But true Hollow Void was two levels higher than Hollow Void War Immortal.

In other words, a Tenth Level Hollow Void is equivalent to a Twelfth Level in Artifact Refining and an Eleventh Level in Formation.

This paralleled the fact that a Refining Void often requires a Thirteenth Level Artifact Refiner to craft a Dao Artifact.

By this deduction, to solve the "Chaos Void" instability problems of a Hollow Void War Immortal, he should primarily search within the Twelfth and Thirteenth Level Artifact Refiners' information.

With a course of action, he began to concentrate on searching within this specific area for solutions.

Upon this search...

He indeed found a trail.

"Artifact Spirit!? A spirit-like life form that can cultivate on its own and evolve a Spiritual Treasure into a Dao Artifact, or even an Immortal Artifact!?"

Alkaid delved deeper and gradually, the path became clear and distinct.

Artifact Spirit.

The reason Spiritual Treasures are called such is that these objects have the basis for cultivating sentience. Once sentience is nurtured, they can independently be modified, upgrade, and break through to higher realms.

"Spiritual Treasure life… After imbuing a Spiritual Treasure with sentience, almost like giving it life, then upgrading and modifying it with Artifact Refining materials, nurturing it until it reaches a certain level and then inducing its metamorphosis..."

After spending a day to fully digest all the information, the doubts before Alkaid's eyes suddenly cleared.

So...

"Is this the correct way to unleash the 'Enlightening' divine ability? A combination of Enlightening divine skills with the mentioned 'Treasure Refining Art' and 'Spirit Nurturing Art', akin to raising a pet, allows the Spiritual Treasure to grow on its own, without an Artifact Refiner having to laboriously forge and fashion it?"

Understanding the underlying principles, Alkaid breathed a little easier.

The higher the level of the Spiritual Treasure, the more difficult it was to create.

For something like the Gathering-Separation Ring, even with his expertise at that time, it still took nearly ten years to successfully craft.

Switching to top-tier Spiritual Treasures, spending decades in their creation was normal.

Dao Artifacts were even starting at a century and above.

But if Spiritual Treasures could grow on their own…

The efficiency of Artifact Refining would increase exponentially.

During his contemplation, he quickly grabbed a Spiritual Treasure named "You Long" Sword, and began experimenting.

Under the process of Enlightening, the You Long Sword quickly gained sentience, obtaining "life."

However, once it possessed "life," the Spiritual Treasure soon developed a thought—"You Long Sword will never be enslaved" and sought to break free from control…

But Alkaid did not concern himself with this and instead used the Treasure Refining Art to modify it.

With his own expertise in Artifact Refining, he quickly pinpointed the defects of the Spiritual Treasure and identified what materials were needed for its upgrade and modification.

It just so happened that he had just plundered the whole Cangwu Great World, and possessed a plethora of materials in abundance.

Therefore, he imbued these materials with his will using the "Spirit Nurturing Art," then refined them into the Spiritual Treasure with the Treasure Refining Art…

The results were surprisingly good.

```

The You Long Sword, which originally had the ethos of "never to be enslaved," seemed to know how helpful this material was to its "evolution" and spontaneously began to cooperate with Alkaid's Treasure Refining Art, merging with the artifact refining material as one.

The complex process of artifact refining was rapidly streamlined.

Moreover, since the material was refined with the "Spirit Nurturing Art" by him, the Spiritual Treasure flying sword had quietly taken on his aura, beginning to feel close to him. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire

"It really works."

After nurturing the You Long Sword for a while, Alkaid quickly turned his attention to the Space-splitting Disk.

With the execution of the "Enlightening" divine skill, the spiritual consciousness of this Spiritual Treasure gradually revived.

Then...

There was that defiant character again.

It impulsively wanted to break free with the words "The world is so big, I want to see it."

Alkaid also controlled this Spiritual Treasure and, after some analysis, quickly took out materials related to the Domain Stabilizing Ring, nourishing it with the Spirit Nurturing Art, then letting the Space-splitting Disk refine it.

Thus, in just three months, with an investment of several billion in materials, the Space-splitting Disk had almost reached the apex of Spiritual Treasures.

The reason it was "almost" a Spiritual Treasure was that the Space-splitting Disk had been fed too much, and there was a sense of indigestion.

But that was no matter.

"Next is the most crucial step..."

Alkaid glanced at the various materials used in the modified Space-splitting Disk...

His lips twitched.

What a waste of resources.

He seemed to become like those artifact refiners in the Cangwu Great World.

Simply stacking materials?

However, he was different from those artifact refiners who deserved to be shot a hundred times.

Because...

Bullets couldn't kill him.

After glancing at the "Entering the Way" innate divine ability, Alkaid took a deep breath, "The critical moment has arrived."

With a flowing radiance in his hand, it seemed he was about to activate the potential of the "Space-splitting Disk" to transform it into a Dao artifact.

In a moment, however, he thought of something and fetched three Spiritual Treasures...

Entering the Way!

Entering the Way!

Entering the Way!

Then, as expected...

Failure!

Failure!

Failure!

"Hmm? Almost there!"

Upon sensing that hint of "Spiritual Light" in the darkness, Alkaid did not hesitate for a second longer and swiftly pointed "Entering the Way" on the Space-splitting Disk.

"This has to work!"

"Hum Hum!"

The Dao charm unleashed was not far behind the transformation of the Rift Sky Disk, with ripples spreading out, countless Void Laws inclined towards "Stabilization" presented themselves in Alkaid's perception.

During this process, the entire Space-splitting Disk also underwent radical changes.

The deep blue halo gradually darkened, and the surrounding space was so greatly affected that it nearly made the Void Disk fall out of its traversing state.

But...

All the material he had piled up was not in vain.

As the Dao charm dissipated completely, an artifact...

That had just barely stepped into the realm of Dao artifacts, and with extremely singular functionality, appeared before Alkaid.

"Success!"

At this moment, even though this was only the second Dao artifact that Alkaid had "entered the way," he was still overcome with emotion and could hardly contain himself.

With this Dao artifact, Li Hanqiu's "Chaos Void" no longer had to worry about collapsing.

Even if he didn't push the "Chaos Void" power to its limit, he could drag any Hollow Void War Immortal to death in a life-or-death struggle.

This was already nearly the standard of a true Hollow Void.

Just as Alkaid was inspecting the perilously achieved Dao artifact's performance, Li Hanqiu's Divine Sense appeared in his perception.

It carried a trace of excitement.

"Northern Sea Star... we're nearly there."
