Chapter 592: Chapter 357: Demon Locking Pool, Golden Immortal Seal
In the days that followed, Su Yu stayed in Divine Turtle City, practicing cultivation while waiting for Fang Hong to organize his own studies.
Apart from the Small All Heaven Star Array, there were also numerous records from the Star Palace.
As the master of the Star Palace, he could organize the Star Palace’s records as the mother texts for dao techniques, from Heart Skills, Sword Formulas, Body Refining Skills to various Divine Secret Skills, everything was available.
However, consolidating these mother texts was extremely time-consuming. Su Yu estimated it would take two to three years. He decided not to wait in the same place, and left Divine Turtle Island directly, heading towards Red Dragon Luo.
With a year and a half remaining, it was better to stay over there and use his Ancient Dragon Power to transform more dragons.
Turning that flood dragon into a red dragon was a spur-of-the-moment decision by Su Yu, but later establishing a Dragon Palace there was his genuine intention.
The Cyan Immortal Domain was too far from the human headquarters, making it inconvenient to deploy troops and dispatch generals.
Although Celestial Pillar Mountain had a teleportation array leading to the human heartland, the Celestial Court did not permit direct participation in the wars between different civilizations. Moreover, the teleportation array was small, allowing only limited numbers to be transported, making it unreliable for troop deployment during critical times.
Therefore, having a large-scale long-distance teleportation array exclusively was absolutely necessary.
By leveraging his Ancient Dragon status to gain a position among the Cyan Dragon Race and establishing another Dragon Palace here, with teleportation arrays built in both places, during war times it would be possible to continuously gather experts from the Dragon Palace to support.
Returning to the Dragon Palace location, Su Yu transformed back into an Ancient Dragon, residing at the bottom of the sea, continuously radiating Bloodline Power, stimulating the surrounding flood dragon, aquatic race, and dragon race bloodlines. Almost every moment, there were aquatic races awakening dragon veins, and occasionally flood dragon bloodlines transforming into true dragons.
Su Yu presided over the Dragon Palace while Ao Run and Red Dragon Luo divided their forces, leading large numbers of marine soldiers to sweep the surrounding seas.
He wasn’t just presiding idly; besides releasing Bloodline Power in all directions, he also took time to extract massive mineral resources to begin artifact refining.
With no shortage of materials, after unifying the entire Blue Mountain, he stored an immense amount of artifact refining materials in his Chaos Pearl, along with various spoils from previous battles, ranging from low-level treasures to materials for Tier Nine and Tier Ten Treasures.
Although Su Yu hadn’t studied artifact refining before, after cultivating as a Celestial Immortal, his progress slowed, leaving him ample time, so he spent some leisurely time practicing refining, alchemy, and other skills.
Starting from scratch with Celestial Immortal cultivation, his learning speed was extremely fast, and now he could personally refine treasures or flying swords from Tier One to Tier Ten, including demon artifacts.
There’s not much difference between demon artifacts and human-used treasures; the only difference lies in the symbols embedded during the refining process.
The Human Race uses standard cloud ban symbols, while the Demon Race uses demon script, which Su Yu learned the complete set of demon script during his transformation at Dragon Castle.
With nothing much else to do, he refined a batch of demon artifacts to arm his subordinates.
Demon Race treasures are very simple, with ninety percent being weaponry, the most common types being demon blades, long spears, long halberds, and water forks, without the complexity of human treasures, all standardized weapons with identical attributes.
He mobilized the marine soldiers to create tens of thousands of molds, then unleashed a dragonfire with power reaching Profound Immortal level to melt all materials, refining impurities and obtaining the essence, pouring them into each mold, rapidly acquiring tens of thousands of equipment outlines.
He then embedded demon script prohibitions into each, adjusting weapon shapes and blades. In less than five minutes, a Tier Seven demon artifact would be formed.
Four Seas Water-cutting Saber (Tier Seven): Demon Soldiers, Dragon Palace standard weapon.
Attributes: Physical attack power 10,000 + 100% magic damage, attack range 5 kilometers, demonic power consumption 500 points, additional trait: Sharpness +2000.
The attributes are standard; to save effort and time, he didn’t add any fancy traits or additional magics, just pure sharpness, perfect for large-scale refining.
With one Tier Seven demon artifact per soldier, the combat power of the marine troops could be greatly enhanced.
However, there were only weapons and no armor; the Demon Race’s bodies are so strong that mediocre armor is weaker than their bodies and thus unsuitable.
He could refine up to 288 weapons a day without rest, but realistically, only about 200, since he couldn’t truly work 24 hours without rest.
After a year, only 73,000 could be refined. Even if he recruited the four women of Xuan Yue to help, with five people refining together, after a year that would be around 365,000. It’s currently barely enough for equipping those elite marine troops above level 200.
But once the scale of elite marine troops expands, it won’t be enough. After all, it’s the Dragon Palace; how could it be sufficient without a few million or even up to a billion elite marine troops?
"Still not enough manpower."
"Need to change the approach."
Su Yu rubbed his chin, and a bold idea emerged in his mind:
"Perhaps I could issue tasks in my name, asking Human Race artifact refining experts to refine demon artifacts."
"Or simply collaborate with Thousand Star Kingdom?"
"According to stats when he left, Thousand Star Kingdom has two to three million life profession players, with at least four to five hundred thousand knowing artifact refining. Among them, probably twenty to thirty thousand can refine Tier Seven Treasures. If the Dragon Palace provides standard equipment outlines for them to refine, they could produce a piece every two to three days, which means one hundred pieces a year, resulting in two to three million pieces annually."
"Wow, this could work!"
This way, the Dragon Palace only needs to provide the materials.
The artifact refining materials, though the Fallen Star Dragon Palace is just starting without much stock, are plentiful at Cyan Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Race and the Demon Race both lack skill in artifact refining, but underwater spiritual mines are even more abundant than on land, with many low-quality spiritual mines left unmined. The warehouse at Beiming Dragon City alone has materials for refining Tier Seven and Eight demon artifacts in such abundance it’s about to overflow.
