Chapter 2206 An Idea That Can't Be Executed
It turns out that the next level of the Weapon Intents was indeed that Aura-like glow. From what Roan could see, Rean was right. The Sword Intent changed form once again, just like it did in the previous three stages. "Each form increases its power even further while maintaining its main ability to aid any movements used with it. It truly had no need to fuse any of our powers, and most likely, it will never will. The idiot was right about considering it a different concept of existence."
Roan then put Rean's existence behind the back of his mind and focused on training with the new Weapon Intent, which he admitted that calling it Aura was quite appropriate. "Let's just call it Weapon Aura then," he murmured as he realized several moves in a roll.
Meanwhile, Rean arrived at the Blacksmith Workshop and immediately started to work on the new upgrades. He still felt some pain about the Scythe as it would cost quite a lot more of his rarest materials to fix, but that couldn't be helped. 'Hum... I haven't practiced blacksmith at my level of cultivation yet. If I was in the Late Stage of the Elemental Space Realm, I believe I could forge a Peak Divine Level Equipment. However, I'm only in the Middle Stage, so I lack the cultivation necessary to pull it off.'
Yet, it was then that he remembered his Sky Energy. 'What if I use Sky Energy to compensate for the lack of cultivation level. It should be enough to make up for this one stage, no?' He thought. Back when he last upgraded the White Star Scythe and the Black Star Sword, he didn't have Divine Energy, Stellar Energy, and Soul Power fused. The result of their fusion, the Sky-Blue colored energy, was definitely a lot better than what he used before.
However, Rean didn't start to reforge the Scythe and Sword straight away. First of all, he had never tried to forge Divine High-Level Equipment before, let alone a Divine Peak-Level. Rean quickly went through the many metals and other materials he had gathered in these years and decided on what to do. 'First, let's give it a try with some common equipment at the High-Level. I only have enough Solar Essence to reforge our weapons once, so I can't waste it with a failure.'
And so, Rean started to work on improving his Blacksmith Skills. He even wondered if he could carry the abilities acquired in the Elemental Space Realm into the Weapon itself. That way, his weapons that could gather elements on their own would also fuse the elements gathered with Spatial Powers by simply pouring Divine Energy inside. There was a problem, though. As small as they were, the runes used to inscribe the Weapons were already occupying the entire space available for them.
Suddenly Rean had an idea. 'Wait... what if I use the runes I found in the empty Divine Origin Energy Cores? They are several times smaller... If I could just replicate their size and resistance by myself... But then again, how were they even made? They are too small to be made by hand. Even my own Circuitry Formation Runes are already at the point where using hands to carve them out is out of the question, let alone the runes from the cores we got from the Spaceship. The technology there was countless times more advanced...' After thinking about it for a moment, Rean decided to call Sister Orb into the blacksmith workshop.
[What do you need me for?] She quickly arrived, not having much to do anyway.
"You have seen the runes in the Divine Origin Energy Cores, right?" Rean asked straight away.
[Sure, what about them?]
"Although I can simulate them in the Circuitry Formation Repository, I have no way of crafting and inscribing them in my weapons. Do you think you can manipulate the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to replicate what I make in the simulator?" Rean could only rely on that.
[Nope,] Sister Orb answered. [How can I create something that you can't? First of all, it is not like I know how to build runes from formations and inscriptions. I can only hack into them. You will have to build the equipment necessary to make runes that small.]
Rean couldn't help but sigh in response. "So it is like that, uh? Well, it wasn't like I didn't expect it. If you were able to do such a thing, you would have told me a long time ago." In the end, Rean had to put the idea of a weapon that could fuse elements and spatial power together on its own on hold. "Thanks, Sister Orb."
[No problem. By the way, it's been almost two months already since your last cultivation session. Don't forget to go back to cultivate when the time comes.]
"It was Celis who told you to remind me, right?" Rean could tell why she said that.
[Yeap. Because he is a World Swallowing Cedar that basically exists to absorb energy, he doesn't need as much rest as you three. His core always stabilizes a month in advance compared to you two and Kentucky. You can already imagine what it means to him to always have to wait an entire extra month since his cultivation is shared with you all.]
Rean shrugged his shoulder while shaking his head. It wasn't like he could do anything about it. "Well, I won't forget, don't worry. Especially since he will definitely come to Roan and Me when the time comes."
[That's true. Anyway, I'm leaving.] Sister Orb then disappeared in a flash, leaving Rean alone in the Blacksmith Workshop.
Rean then moved to the electrical furnace and turned it on once again, quickly restarting his work on the normal weapons. "Well, if anything, I'll be able to sell these extra weapons once we reach a city. That wouldn't be possible if I figured out how to make them fuse elements and spatial powers on their own, as I would want to keep it a secret." Following that, the sound of the furnace echoed in the workshop as Rean put his other ideas in the back of his mind.
