CHAPTER 2462 LUSTROUS EDGE OBSIDIAN
The size of the feather was much smaller than the original slice and if anyone were to see it now, they'd find it to be a rather exquisite work of art. Every filament of the feather was precise and layered perfectly with each other, forming the shape that matched Ashy's other feathers. Lin Mu had practiced using Meld quite a bit in the Sleepscape in order to improve his control over it. He had seen how Lin Mo had used Meld in the bridge plane before and how easy it was for the devilish man.
Despite the fact he was using it on such a large scale, the man had still managed to precisely peel off the skin of thousands of immortals at once. Of course this was a rather gruesome application but Lin Mu knew the skill needed behind that was not low.
Lin Mu reckoned if Lin Mo could do it with his body, then he should be able to do the same. Though he was still doubtful as to how that man had managed to be better than him, despite the fact that he had never actually gotten to practice using it before.
'Lin Mo's skills were certainly something else… The Devil Sword especially… That's a very strong sword technique, perhaps the strongest I've seen so far.' Lin Mu couldn't help but think.
Even after talking a lot with Xukong, he had still been unable to figure out just what Lin Mo exactly was and how did he obtain his skills. But one thing was for sure, he was much stronger than Lin Mu and could get stronger as long as he was allowed to kill.
After all, he had managed to reach the Transcendent Immortal Level by killing enough Black Fin Island members.
It almost made Lin Mu tempted to try out the Murdering Heart Sutra again, but this time on his own. But he had managed to control himself, knowing that there was no telling if it was him who was really in control or if Lin Mo would take hold again. At the very least, the man had not shown or presented himself in any form so far.
Lin Mu wondered if he would only do so when the Sutra was used or if there was some other condition. Since the first time he had used the sutra, there was no appearance of Lin Mo and he had managed to absorb souls just fine.
~CHIRP~ owns this.
He was brought out his thoughts by Ashy's voice, as she hopped around with her new feather.
"It fits perfectly!" Ashy said chirping happily.
"That's good, I can start adding the arrays now." Lin Mu spoke. "Give it back for now since it won't stay on your back for long this way. I still need to add adhering formations too it too." He added.
"Okay~" Ashy let Lin Mu take the feather off.
The next part of the process was going to be a bit harder, but Lin Mu was up for the challenge. He now needed to turn it into a Spatial Storage tool.
"This is your first time making a proper Spatial Storage tool, now that I think of it." Xukong spoke up.
"Ah yeah… though technically the first time. I did make those prototypes while we practiced." Lin Mu recalled him doing a few tests back in the Sleepscape.
"That was with easier materials though. This one is going to be harder." Xukong replied. "Lustrous Edge Obsidian isn't exactly the best materials for Spatial Storage tools." He added.
"But it's the only material that matches Ashy's feathers and can be refined enough to add a couple of arrays to it." Lin Mu stated. "At least among the materials that are accessible to us." He added.
"Hmm… true. Plus, you need to make it so that she can use it with Spirit Qi too." Xukong reminded.
"I should be able to make a dual energy channel for it so that it works with both Spirit Qi and Immortal Qi. Or simply add a storage of Immortal Qi that is linked with a controlling formation that can use Spirit Qi for instructions and direct the Immortal Qi for the actual work." Lin Mu explained his plan.
"Oh, very ambitious." Xukong could tell it was not going to be simple. "I'll look forward to it." He decided to simply wait and watch.
"Of course." Lin Mu said as he held the tiny obsidian feather and began the first step.
~CLACK~CLACK~CLACK~
The rocky armor coated his palms as the Longgui Bulwark Armor technique was activated. Lin Mu then closed both of his palms, cupping the small feather between it. It might seem like the obsidian feather was very delicate and break from this, but that was far from the truth.
In fact, the Lustrous Edge Obsidian was a very hard mineral. It was harder than most common diamonds and was one of the reasons why it was valuable for weapon refinement.
In fact, the main use for it was making Spear heads, Arrow tips and small daggers. Not only was it very hard and durable, when sharpened it could hold its edge for a very long time and against a lot of damage too.
The best part about it was that it also allowed one to add formations to it. As such, its durability could be enhanced even further. The only flaw in it, at least in Lin Mu's case, was that it wasn't exactly the best material to make a Spatial Storage tool with.
'The capacity won't be high, but for Ashy it should be more than enough,' Lin Mu thought as he began the refinement process.
~HUALA~
Searing hot energy was released from his palms as it coated the obsidian feather. His closed palms turned into a small furnace as they heated the feather to hellish temperatures.
Lin Mu checked it from time to time, and only stopped when he could tell its color had changed.
From its previous shiny black, it was now a more matte black!
