Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2199 - Refining for the Garden of Loneliness

Although the Jetavana Monastery was sucked into the Qiankun Bag, it was still struggling desperately, seemingly unwilling to be bound.

"As expected of Tathagata's natal magic weapon, even if it is put into the Qiankun Bag, it still cannot be controlled. It must be refined to erase its spiritual intelligence before it can be used by me."

This spiritual magic weapon is like a living thing. If the spiritual intelligence has already recognized Tathagata as its master, then it will not listen to the control of others.

For such magic weapons, one can only perform a series of sacrifices and refinements. The refining process will erase the consciousness of the spiritual intelligence, allowing it to choose a new master.

"Since that's the case, then let's refine it!"

As Chu Hao spoke, he patted his storage bag, and instantly a green cauldron flew out of the storage bag.

This green cauldron is Chu Hao's treasure, the Shennong Cauldron. The Shennong Cauldron is also a treasure of Qiankun, and magic weapons refined with it can increase their spiritual energy and power by thirty percent.

"Get in here."

Chu Hao said, pointing at the Qiankun Bag floating in the air.

The Qiankun Bag flew directly into the Shennong Cauldron, and inside the Shennong Cauldron, it released the Jetavana Monastery before flying out again.

After the Qiankun Bag flew out, the Jetavana Monastery also wanted to quickly sneak out, but Chu Hao had already set up a restriction at the mouth of the cauldron.

When the Jetavana Monastery touched the restriction, it was as if it had been hit hard, and it retreated back into the Shennong Cauldron.

"Refine it for me."

Along with the words, Chu Hao simultaneously released the Solar True Fire.

The Solar True Fire immediately wrapped the Shennong Cauldron, and then began to refine it.

However, the Jetavana Monastery, which was transformed into the Gifting Garden, was Tathagata's natal treasure. To refine it, even with the cooperation of the Shennong Cauldron and the Solar True Fire, it was still not easy.

"It seems that it will take at least three days."

According to Chu Hao's judgment, it would probably take a day to refine the Jetavana Monastery into its true form, the Gifting Garden.

But to erase the spiritual intelligence of the Gifting Garden, it would probably take at least two days.

In other words, to completely refine it, it would take at least three days. Three days is not a long time, but it is not a short time either.

If there was no great war between the Western Heaven and the Demon Clan, Chu Hao probably wouldn't have so much time to refine the magic weapon.

But now Tathagata and the Western Heaven are fighting the Demon Clan with all their might, so the three days should not be enough to determine the winner.

The trees in the garden were green like emeralds and white like jade. Just looking at the exterior, you could tell that this treasure was extraordinary.

"Is this the Gifting Garden? Tathagata is really extravagant."

The Gifting Garden is where Tathagata was born. Of course, what kind of person is Tathagata? His reincarnation is different from ordinary people.

So it was not because there was Tathagata that there was the Gifting Garden, but because there was the Gifting Garden that Tathagata chose to be born here.

Afterwards, Tathagata used spiritual energy to nourish this Gifting Garden for countless years, and repeatedly refined it with essence.

This is why it has become his current natal treasure. It can be said that the significance of the Gifting Garden to Tathagata is second only to his life.

After the Gifting Garden restored its original appearance, its power seemed to have increased by thirty percent.

The spiritual intelligence still existed, and it began to crash around in the Shennong Cauldron, seemingly wanting to forcibly escape.

Fortunately, this is the Qiankun Treasure Shennong Cauldron. If it were replaced with a slightly inferior pill furnace, it would probably have been broken through and escaped by the Gifting Garden.

"Solar True Fire, continue refining me!"

When Chu Hao saw that the Gifting Garden was still struggling, he couldn't help but add a bit of spiritual energy.

After the spiritual energy increased, the flames of the Solar True Fire became more intense, and the Gifting Garden seemed unable to withstand the heat of the refining.

From its original struggling state, it began to become more violent, desperately crashing into the Shennong Cauldron, as if trying to escape for its life.

But this state only lasted for about a day. After a day, the struggling range of the Gifting Garden began to weaken.

It seemed that the spiritual intelligence had entered a state of decline during the refining process. Its consciousness had begun to be gradually erased, and it slowly began to stop struggling.

"The moment the connection between the spiritual intelligence and Tathagata is severed, Tathagata will definitely notice it."

Chu Hao knew that once a natal magic weapon suffered a heavy blow or a major change, it would definitely cause the holder to sense it or even suffer a backlash.

However, as long as Chu Hao refines the Gifting Garden, even if Tathagata notices it, it will be too late to stop him.

"Continue refining me!"

Chu Hao continued to increase the Solar True Fire for refining.

At this moment, the Gifting Garden in the Shennong Cauldron was motionless, and it was estimated that the spiritual intelligence had been almost completely erased.

In the Demon Clan's main base, the battle between the Western Heaven and the Demon Clan continued, and Tathagata also continued to duel with Maitreya Buddha.

Relying on the Qiankun Demon Transformation Formation and the Four Spirits attack, Maitreya Buddha was able to fight Tathagata to a standstill.

Tathagata now had no choice but to enter a state of entanglement, so as to delay time and wait for the energy of the Four Spirits Blood Banner to run out.

"As long as the energy of the Four Spirits Blood Banner runs out, I can kill Maitreya Buddha and get rid of this bad feeling in my heart."

Tathagata was actually extremely angry in his heart, but he was forcibly enduring it.

He had never been so aggrieved before. These Four Spirits had caused him so much suffering, and he could only passively be beaten, because the Four Spirits could not be killed, and all attacks were ineffective.

But just as Tathagata was thinking this, he suddenly felt a burst of panic, and this feeling was very strong.

"What's going on? Why am I so panicked? It seems that there has been a major change."

Although Tathagata felt panicked, he didn't have time to check anything, because the attacks of the undead didn't give him time to pay attention to other things.

Tathagata had never thought that his natal magic weapon would encounter an accident. He thought it was just the mental pressure caused by being too angry.

At this time, Chu Hao had already entered the final stage, and only the last trace of spiritual consciousness remained on the Gifting Garden.

"Refine!"

Chu Hao continued to exert force, and that last trace of consciousness was also quickly erased under the refining.

"It's done, come out."

Seeing that the consciousness of the Gifting Garden had been completely erased, Chu Hao opened the restriction formation on the Shennong Cauldron.

Following Chu Hao's voice, the Gifting Garden flew out on its own, and followed Chu Hao's instructions, landing in Chu Hao's hand.

The Gifting Garden is naturally a wishful magic weapon, which can be large or small, infinitely large or infinitely small.

But just when Chu Hao erased the last trace of consciousness of the Gifting Garden, Tathagata, who was in battle, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Something bad is going to happen!"

Such a backlash finally made Tathagata realize what the problem was, and he immediately shouted.
