When the life within a metal is stimulated to a certain degree, it will give birth to its own intelligence.
However, a life that has gained intelligence naturally hates being controlled. Therefore, it will try to escape on its own.
At first, Quan Yi was indeed greatly shocked, but with his cultivation, it was impossible for the metal to escape.
However, while he could control the metal, he couldn't control the soul within it.
In the end, Quan Yi, lacking experience, accidentally allowed the soul to dissipate on its own.
But, after thinking and summarizing, Quan Yi thought of the Sacrifice Ceremony from back then.
For souls, spiritual methods are undoubtedly the best approach.
Therefore, Quan Yi used Dragon Might against the escaping soul and increased the output of his spiritual power.
Sure enough, it now seemed that his idea was correct.
The soul that was trying to escape was firmly locked inside the Mystic Iron. At this point, Quan Yi knew that taming the metal's soul and stabilizing it within the metal was the most crucial step.
Under Quan Yi's immensely powerful spiritual power and Dragon Might, the newborn soul was too small and had no room to escape.
The golden-red light flashing on the surface of the Mystic Iron gradually began to retract, revealing the black color of the Mystic Iron itself. However, the layers of patterns turned into golden-red Dragon Scale patterns.
Their shape was exactly the same as Quan Yi's own Dragon Scales.
The metal, tainted with Quan Yi's aura, was influenced by Quan Yi in all aspects, and this similarity was constantly deepening.
The Dragon Scale patterns continued to spread, gradually covering the entire surface of the metal. At this moment, the golden-red light completely retracted, and black light began to emerge instead.
When the black light flickered, it was like a creature breathing, maintaining a specific rhythm.
Even more miraculously, without knowing when, the Mystic Iron Forging Hammer held in his hands was also covered with the same patterns and emitted the same life-like breathing.
Unconsciously, these two Forging Hammers, connected to Quan Yi's bloodline, were tempering themselves in the process of being hammered.
Compared to the extremely loud and dynamic new Mystic Iron, the changes in these two Forging Hammers seemed silent.
This was because the Forging Hammers that had received the blood baptism were vastly different from the Mystic Iron that had not received blood.
When injecting his own energy and aura, they would not show any resistance, which made stabilizing the soul of the Forging Hammers extremely smooth.
This was also an unexpected gain for Quan Yi in this forging.
However, when Quan Yi completed the step of stabilizing the soul, the metal did not undergo the transformation he had expected.
This feeling of reaching the end, only to find no road ahead, once again swept over Quan Yi.
Quan Yi had poured his everything into the metal, and he also knew that the metal had reached the edge of advancement.
Just as Quan Yi felt trapped, two excited Dragon Roars echoed in Quan Yi's mind.
"Xiao Jin, Xiao Hong!"
At this final juncture, it was always them who guided Quan Yi to take the crucial step.
Feeling the tremor of the Martial Souls within his body, Quan Yi did not hesitate and immediately performed Martial Soul Summon.
"Roar! Roar!"
Two Dragon Roars spread from Quan Yi's hands, echoing in the Forging Room. Mixed in these roars were the mental fluctuations of Xiao Jin and Xiao Hong.
The moment the Dark Gold Sun Dragon Claw covered his hands, the calming Forging Hammer and Mystic Iron once again burst forth with two-colored light. At the same time, three Dragon Roars erupted along with the light.
The soul of the metal became extremely active with the appearance of the Dark Gold Sun Dragon Claw.
It was also at this moment that Quan Yi noticed the mysterious changes occurring between the energy contained within the metal and the metal's soul.
It was this scene that gave Quan Yi a flash of inspiration.
He immediately mobilized the energy within his body, frantically pouring it into the two hammers.
Under the amplification of the Dark Gold Sun Dragon Claw, the intensity of the energy increased to another level.
After condensing the energy, Quan Yi brought down both hammers, and a heavy rumble sounded.
From the point where the three collided, a dazzling light suddenly erupted.
In the Scarlet Dragon Eye's vision, the energy inside the metal underwent a peculiar oscillation under the stimulation of the heavy blows.
The oscillating energy seemed to resonate with the soul, producing a phenomenon of fusion.
Just then, Quan Yi heard a cheerful voice in his ear.
The light dissipated, and the Mystic Iron on the Forging Table transformed into a small flying dragon, soaring into the air. After circling once, its body immediately split in half and merged into the Forging Hammer.
During the forging process, the size of the twin hammers, which had shrunk considerably, increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Quan Yi gently closed his eyes, feeling the various changes in the Forging Hammer with his heart.
First, the weight of a single Forging Hammer reached more than two thousand kilograms.
While the fusion had an impact, it was more due to the increase in level, which increased the weight on its own.
Secondly, an even more important change was that Quan Yi clearly felt the aura of Ultimate Gold and Ultimate Fire from the Forging Hammer.
Even the Scarlet Dragon Skyfire Armor had not reached the level of Ultimate Gold, but in this forging, a very ordinary Mystic Iron not only reached the level of Ultimate Gold, but also inherited Ultimate Fire.
This feeling was like touching a part of his own body, and more importantly, Quan Yi could communicate with the Forging Hammer mind-to-mind.
In response to Quan Yi's instructions, the hammer could also make some subtle changes, which would undoubtedly be of great convenience for future forging.
After feeling it for a long time, Quan Yi's fierce aura that permeated his body gradually faded away as the Dragon Scales disappeared.
The Forging Hammers in his hands also merged into Quan Yi's body along with his Martial Soul.
"Sorry to keep you waiting," Quan Yi said with a smile as he turned around.
"I don't understand, I really don't understand. How is it that the speed at which your forging level increases feels faster than the speed at which your Soul Power level increases?"
Dugu Bo shook his head with a wry smile. Although he had carefully observed Quan Yi's every move throughout the entire process, he was still confused in the end.
"Haha, the rapid improvement in forging techniques is all due to the support of profound cultivation.
The cultivation of a Soul Master and forging are essentially the same.
Like me, I am a forger who has been forcibly elevated by cultivation, and there are still many shortcomings in many aspects."
Compared to other forgers, Quan Yi almost only specializes in metal purification, but the Dark Gold Sun Dragon Claw, Scarlet Dragon Eye, and vibration perception have allowed Quan Yi to reach the forefront of all forgers in terms of purification.
"If the previous realm was Creation, what should this one be called?"
Compared to Dugu Bo, Huo Wu had some understanding of forging, but not much. However, Huo Wu had the Holy Spirit Perspective that Dugu Bo did not possess.
Under the Holy Spirit Perspective, even if Huo Wu didn't understand forging techniques, she could still see many deeper things.
In Huo Wu's eyes, this forging was a process of elevating the soul level of the metal.
From a glimmer of spirituality to a complete soul comparable to a Soul Beast, Huo Wu felt a lot in a very short period of Time.
Her own understanding of the soul also grew, and in terms of gains, Huo Wu was not far behind.
"Spirit Awakening, this is the realm after Creation."
