At the bottom of the lake, there was an abundance of Golden Morning Spatial Ore. In no time, over forty Spiritual Beasts had excavated at least tens of thousands of pounds for him.
Guo Feilong, adhering to the principle of not wasting time, set up a refinement furnace on the open ground by the lake and began refining the Golden Morning Spatial Ore into metal.
The metal refined from the Golden Morning Spatial Ore was not pure gold in color but rather a shade of purple-gold.
Guo Feilong's lifebound sacred treasure was crafted using the body of a metal fairy that could absorb other metals to upgrade, and the body of another metal fairy that could automatically heal and restore memory, with their spirit cores as the main materials.
His lifebound sacred treasure possessed the ability to absorb other metal ores to upgrade and to self-heal from damage.
When refining the humanoid metal lifebound sacred treasure, Guo Feilong deliberately left it with a hollow belly, with a mouth leading directly to it.
The reason for leaving a hollow belly was to prepare for the day he might find a metal capable of bestowing spatial abilities, allowing his lifebound sacred treasure to absorb and refine it.
Thus, while refining the Golden Morning Spatial Metal, Guo Feilong also allowed his lifebound sacred treasure to absorb it.
Simultaneously, Guo Feilong used Auspicious Clouds to aid his lifebound sacred treasure in accelerating the absorption of the Golden Morning Spatial Metal.
With the assistance of Auspicious Clouds, the speed at which his lifebound sacred treasure absorbed the Golden Morning Spatial Metal was exceptionally fast, akin to an old ox drinking water.
Over the years, his lifebound sacred treasure had absorbed many different types of metals, both high-grade and low-grade.
This humanoid lifebound sacred treasure had already reached the pinnacle of a supreme sacred treasure, not far from evolving to the stage of a low-quality Divine Treasure.
Three days later.
The forty-plus Spiritual Beasts had dug over a hundred meters deep into the lake bottom, finally exhausting the Golden Morning Spatial Ore.
Guo Feilong obtained over a hundred thousand pounds of Golden Morning Spatial Ore, which could be refined into over ten thousand pounds of metal at a ten-to-one ratio.
"My lifebound sacred treasure is just a hair's breadth away from upgrading; I can't afford to be stingy with the Golden Morning Spatial Metal, not even a little."
As Guo Feilong continued to refine the Golden Morning Spatial Ore into metal, he consoled himself, knowing that his lifebound sacred treasure had already absorbed over four thousand pounds of Golden Morning Spatial Metal.
It's important to note that the price of Golden Morning Spatial Metal outside was extremely expensive.
An ounce was priced at 3 million low-quality spirit stones, and it was a rare commodity, not something that could be bought just with spirit stones.
Ten ounces make a pound.
One pound of Golden Morning Spatial Metal.
Stolen novel; please report.
Equals 30 million low-quality spirit stones.
Ten pounds equal 300 million low-quality spirit stones.
A hundred pounds equal 3 billion low-quality spirit stones.
A thousand pounds equal 30 billion low-quality spirit stones.
Four thousand pounds equal 120 billion low-quality spirit stones.
That's enough to buy a low-quality Divine Treasure.
"Why hasn't it upgraded yet?"
When the humanoid metal lifebound sacred treasure absorbed 6,000 pounds of Golden Morning Spatial Metal and still hadn't upgraded to a low-quality Divine Treasure, Guo Feilong was on the verge of going crazy with heartache.
Had he known that using so much Golden Morning Spatial Metal wouldn't upgrade his lifebound sacred treasure, he wouldn't have allowed it to absorb the metal.
With that much money in spirit stones, buying other high-grade metals could also have upgraded his lifebound sacred treasure.
But now he was in a difficult position; his lifebound sacred treasure was already at the critical point of upgrading to a Divine Treasure.
Even if it meant letting the lifebound sacred treasure absorb all the Golden Morning Spatial Metal, he was willing to do it.
Because.
The artifact spirit of the humanoid metal lifebound sacred treasure told him that a vast space was forming inside its belly.
The artifact spirit of the Family Fortune Cauldron also informed him that because his lifebound sacred treasure used a lot of Auspicious Clouds while absorbing the Golden Morning Spatial Metal, there was a ninety percent chance that the space inside its belly might become a small world seed when it upgraded to a Divine Treasure.
A small world seed meant that as his lifebound sacred treasure continued to evolve, the space would evolve with it, eventually forming a small world with its own heaven and earth, sun, moon, and stars.
In short, it would be incredibly powerful.
At this moment, his lifebound sacred treasure was like a puzzle missing one piece, always just a bit short, giving hope but also despair.
As the days passed, another four days went by, and Guo Feilong's humanoid metal lifebound sacred treasure finally crossed the invisible boundary from a supreme sacred treasure to a low-quality Divine Treasure after absorbing over ten thousand pounds of Golden Morning Spatial Metal.
With a hum, a mysterious frequency of vibrations emanated from his lifebound sacred treasure, and the metal all around it shone brightly.
The previously hidden tribulation lightning rune scripts began to appear one by one.
A terrifying aura from heaven and earth suddenly descended.
Guo Feilong looked up at the sky above, where a mass of pitch-black tribulation clouds had appeared, rapidly expanding and growing.
Tribulation lightning, feared and revered by all things in heaven and earth.
At this moment, all the high-level Spiritual Beasts in the Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world were filled with innate fear.
Even those Spiritual Beasts that had undergone the baptism of tribulation lightning and evolved to be comparable to the Golden Elixir stage were now restraining their auras.
Some hid in caves, some used Divine Powers and Spells to burrow underground, and others hid in lakes and rivers.
The four Spiritual Beasts in the Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world, comparable to the Elemental Infant stage, were also frightened by the aura of the tribulation and retreated to their respective cave abodes to sleep quietly.
The tribulation clouds expanded rapidly, soon covering the entire sky of the small world.
"Does anyone know what's happening?"
"Is there a Golden Elixir stage Spiritual Beast about to cross the tribulation to become an Elemental Infant-level Spiritual Beast?"
All the cultivators in the small world gazed up at the tribulation clouds in the sky, their eyes fixed on the depths of the small world.
There, the tribulation clouds were the darkest and densest, resembling a massive spinning top rotating clockwise.
Terrifying bolts of lightning, like countless restless thunder dragons, darted through the pitch-black tribulation clouds.
Boom!
A lightning bolt as thick as a water barrel struck down from the tribulation clouds, straight as if it were a path to ascend to the immortal realm.
Guo Feilong's lifebound sacred treasure spread its arms, raising its head to welcome the descending tribulation lightning, a terrifying existence for other beings or sentient sacred treasures.
But for Guo Feilong's lifebound sacred treasure, which had obtained tribulation lightning rune scripts during its last tribulation crossing, it was akin to a child of the tribulation, with the lightning being a reward and affection.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the power of the tribulation lightning descended, the tribulation lightning rune scripts on his lifebound sacred treasure continuously absorbed the power of the tribulation lightning.
Guo Feilong, connected with his lifebound sacred treasure in mind and spirit, could feel its aura growing stronger.
When the last of the eighty-one tribulation lightning strikes ended, his lifebound sacred treasure had fully upgraded to a low-quality Divine Treasure.
From now on, it would be called a lifebound Divine Treasure.
Guo Feilong extended his hand, and the lifebound Divine Treasure flew into his palm for him to examine.
Before upgrading, the lifebound Divine Treasure had nine mysterious tribulation lightning rune scripts.
Now, the mysterious tribulation lightning rune scripts on his lifebound Divine Treasure had doubled to eighteen.
With more tribulation lightning rune scripts, the power of the tribulation lightning must have increased a notch, becoming even stronger.
Guo Feilong wasn't in a hurry to find out how much stronger the tribulation power of his lifebound Divine Treasure had become. What he wanted to know most was whether the space inside his lifebound sacred treasure had formed a small world seed.
In the next instant, Guo Feilong's divine sense entered his lifebound Divine Treasure.
