At this moment, Zi Ran on the Vortex Dueling Platform heard Luo Yeguifeng’s words; the patience she’d had to keep watching instantly vanished, and she directly took out a cauldron from her Storage Ring.
A square tripod!
The square tripod was very simple; with one glance you could see its entirety, almost no different from the square tripods most people had at home for worship. The only special parts were probably its unique patterns, and that deep black, and at the same time extremely unfamiliar, Dragon Wall Text.
After taking out the square tripod, Zi Ran said coldly to Luo Yeguifeng, "What a self-righteous, ignorant old geezer."
As soon as these words came out, they made everyone almost burst out laughing.
Very clearly, Master Zi Ran was taking revenge on Luo Yeguifeng.
Luo Yeguifeng had mocked the Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader as naive, so she mocked Luo Yeguifeng as an ignorant old geezer.
And she even used the word "head" for him!
Normally, when they talked about pigs or cows and the like, only then would they use "head."
Just as anger was rising on Luo Yeguifeng’s face, Zi Ran slapped the square tripod, channeled Hellfire into it, and then activated the deep black Dragon Wall Text around the tripod. The instant the Dragon Wall Text was activated, black flames ignited inside the tripod.
Under countless watching eyes, the flames released a deep and mysterious aura, causing Celestial String, Yan Lai and the others to frown.
This kind of flame, they had never seen before!
Never even heard of it!
Under the curious gazes of the crowd, the black flames did not let their tongues of fire pass over the mouth of the square tripod; they only burned fiercely inside, and then Zi Ran threw the Vortex Diagram into it, letting the black flames devour it.
At this moment, deep within the square tripod where they could not see.
The black flames were continuously pouring into the Vortex Diagram, and as the black flames flowed in, the large amounts of slag from the Celestial Materials and treasures within the Vortex Diagram began to burn, emitting a strange dark-purple radiance.
No extra movements.
No flashy blood-colored tides.
The essences of those one hundred and twenty Celestial Materials and treasures were all poured into the square tripod by Master Zi Ran at the same time, and were simultaneously swallowed by the black flames.
After doing all this, Zi Ran leisurely sat down under the gaze of the crowd. Aside from one hand still channeling Hellfire into the tripod, Zi Ran made no extra moves; she just kept sitting there, occasionally glancing at the flames inside the tripod, occasionally adjusting the intensity of the Hellfire being fed into it.
At this moment, Lin Yehong was imposing as she shook down the Celestial Materials and treasures on the Blood Branch one by one, letting them fall onto the Vortex Diagram, then immediately using fire serpents to draw them in, making them begin to rotate within the Vortex Map together with the essences of the Celestial Materials and treasures that had already been fused before.
As time passed, an hour went by.
Seventy-eight Celestial Materials and treasures had already fallen from the Blood Branch above Lin Yehong’s head, and the fire serpents had circled more than five hundred times.
Lin Yehong’s Small Thousand World had already reached Great Success, so when the fire serpents reached their one thousand one hundred and eleventh rotation, the Vortex Map was completed.
At this pace, at most two more hours were needed for Lin Yehong’s Vortex Map to be completed!
Compared to Master Zi Ran’s side, where no one could understand what was happening, Li Changhai, Qing Qian and many other Vortex Divine Artisans were paying much closer attention to Lin Yehong’s situation. Because in just one short hour, Lin Yehong had accomplished what took them seven or eight days to complete.
In their eyes, the most terrifying part wasn’t even the shortened time.
It was that the essence of every single Celestial Material and treasure could, under the guidance of the fire serpents, fuse together almost perfectly!
"Worthy of being one of the Ten Great Divine Arts."
"No wonder Lin Yehong has a ninety-percent chance of producing High Quality Four-Vortex Vortex Maps!"
"Seeing the ’Small Thousand World’ with my own eyes today, I finally understand why I lost to people from the Thousand Crafts Sect."
The Vortex Divine Artisans of Zeming Palace sighed repeatedly, and even the two Five-Spin Vortex Divine Artisans, Qing Qian and the other, couldn’t help but ceaselessly sigh in their hearts.
The Ten Great Divine Arts truly were the pinnacle techniques of the Vortex Dao.
All these years, Zeming Palace’s losses had not been unjust.
Just as they were marveling at Lin Yehong’s "Small Thousand World."
Just as the spectators beneath the Vortex Dueling Platform were looking at Zi Ran in total confusion.
Just as Luo Yeguifeng was chatting and laughing happily with Yan Lai.
A streak of purple light suddenly bloomed from the Vortex Dueling Platform, flashed once from within that square tripod, and right after that, Zi Ran immediately stopped, stood up, and then carefully watched the Dragon Wall Text gradually appearing on one side of the tripod that no one could understand.
Looking at it, Zi Ran shook her head slightly with a hint of regret.
"What rotten luck. This Four-Vortex Enchantment Tripod contains a total of seven Innate Attributes, and this Vortex Map just had to end up with the worst Innate Attribute."
