An unexpected gain!

The two artisan items revolved around each other, slowly beginning to spin.

A few seconds later, with a sudden bang, they collided!

Then they began to fuse in an extremely complex manner!

Jiang Xuan observed carefully. If he hadn't cultivated the Qiankun Artifact Refining Method, and if his current level as a Yellow Rank Artifact Refiner wasn't already equivalent to an Intermediate Craftsman, he would probably have felt dizzy and even suffered a strong mental impact just by looking at it.

But now, he saw clearly that these two artisan items… were originally one!

They had merely been forcefully separated into two pieces by an extremely special and skillful method, and now they were being restored together.

As the two artisan items fused more and more tightly, a light far brighter than before erupted.

After the light dissipated, a brand new artisan item slowly descended towards Jiang Xuan.

This new artisan item was actually… a cage!

That's right, a miniature cage, now slowly resting in Jiang Xuan's palm.

The heart-shaking hammer and empty skull staff combined into this uniquely shaped artisan item, standing quietly, appearing both eerie and magical.

Jiang Xuan didn't hesitate and once again activated his Qi.

The next moment, the iron bars on the cage, only as thick as chopsticks, subtly flipped, and lines of small text appeared on them.

It was actually a secret letter left by that Martial Saint for future generations.

“Recently, my premonition has become increasingly clear. After I pass away, my body is highly likely to transform into the legendary martial dao sacred remains, but I do not know when the transformation will be complete and when it will reappear in the world. This is beyond my control.”

“Therefore, I entrusted a Heavenly Craftsman to forge my empty shell of a body into this artisan item, named the body cage, at that time.”

“To prevent the secret from being exposed and causing calamity, this body cage will usually be disassembled into two seemingly unrelated artisan items. Only with essence blood can they be re-activated and combined.”

“Possessing this cage, one can forcibly summon the martial dao sacred remains into the cage after its emergence, as long as the martial dao sacred remains have not been truly assimilated.”

“Remember, the body cage has a certain range limit for summoning the martial dao sacred remains, not exceeding one hundred kilometers. Furthermore, those over twenty years old have their bone structure set and cannot assimilate the martial dao sacred remains. Do not bring harm upon yourselves!”

“My children and grandchildren, I have arranged everything I could. Whether you have this luck when my martial dao sacred remains emerge depends on yourselves.”

After this last line of text appeared, all the characters slowly sank into the bars of the cage.

Jiang Xuan read it carefully and finally understood everything completely.

Although he didn't know how Qin Xianwei had learned this monumental secret, there was no doubt that this was the root of Qin Xianwei's plan.

First, find the empty skull staff in this Secret Realm, then obtain the heart-shaking hammer by winning first place in the Martial Dao College Entrance Examination in Lei City itself, and then combine these two items into the body cage.

Although at that time, the martial dao sacred remains would have already emerged for several months and been snatched by some Prodigy or lucky individual, there was no need to worry at all.

Because even for someone with the highest talent, assimilating the martial dao sacred remains would take at least half a year, and possibly even three to five years for longer periods!

But this was still much better than Cultivating on one's own.

For instance, Jiang Xuan's two Grandmaster Artisan Masters, as Grandmaster Craftsmen, had access to Martial Dao resources far exceeding other Ten-Star Martial Emperors, yet they had been stuck at Ten-Star Martial Emperor for so many years.

And this was merely the Breakthrough from Martial Emperor to Martial Venerable, which was already so difficult!

How much more so from Martial Venerable to Martial Saint?

Therefore, for many people, spending three to five years assimilating the martial dao sacred remains was far better than Cultivating on their own.

Not to mention the various incredible Saint-Grade benefits that could be gained!

“If I hadn't appeared, Qin Xianwei's plan would have gone smoothly. By the time she obtained the body cage, no matter who had acquired the martial dao sacred remains, they would certainly not have finished absorbing and assimilating it. Then she could use this cage to forcibly summon the martial dao sacred remains and quietly find a place to assimilate it herself…”

“What cunning. Her identity must not be simple. The power behind her must at least be on the level of the Shock Supernova Legion, otherwise, it would be impossible for her to know such a monumental secret…”

“Why didn't Principal Shen discover her identity? Or did Principal Shen discover it but simply didn't bother to interfere?”

Jiang Xuan's eyes flickered, and he decided to investigate slowly when he had the chance later.

Immediately, his gaze returned to the body cage in his hand.

It could be said that this was his greatest gain from this trip. The importance of this cage even surpassed the Divine Ability and Divine Ability items of the Azure Dragon Dao, second only to the azure dragon secret fetus pearl!

After all, that was the martial dao sacred remains of a Martial Saint!

After absorbing it, he would not only be able to Cultivate smoothly all the way to Martial Saint without any obstacles, but he would also greatly enhance his Foundation, making his Cultivation of the True Martial Hundred Meridians Art from the Fantasy World even more effective!

More importantly, he obtained this body cage more than twenty days before the martial dao sacred remains emerged, so as soon as the martial dao sacred remains appeared, he could use the body cage to directly summon them!

This was hundreds, even thousands of times more secure than Qin Xianwei's plan!

“Since Qin Xianwei knew about the martial dao sacred remains so far in advance, it's definitely not just Principal Shen and her who know. Other forces absolutely have relevant information as well. In the next twenty-odd days, Lei City should see all kinds of powerhouses appear…”

Fortunately, there shouldn't be any older generation powerhouses participating, because the assimilation age for the martial dao sacred remains cannot exceed twenty years old, which greatly relieved Jiang Xuan.

As for older generation powerhouses helping their children and grandchildren snatch the martial dao sacred remains?

He wasn't afraid of that anymore. He now had people backing him!

Since the body cage had a range limit for summoning the martial dao sacred remains, Jiang Xuan decided to stay in Lei City during this period to avoid missing the opportunity.

Moreover, although the martial dao sacred remains were said to emerge in twenty-four days, no one actually had a precise grasp of the exact time, so he dared not miss it even more.

If he left Lei City and the martial dao sacred remains were snatched by someone who then took a starship to some unknown planet on the edge of the Human Federation in the Universe, then things would get serious.

He guessed that Qin Xianwei definitely had a way to track the martial dao sacred remains, but he didn't, so staying in Lei City during this time was more secure.

Seeing that the matter was concluded, Jiang Xuan didn't linger. He took out the mysterious spherical bead from his person, and after activating it with true essence, he and the mysterious spherical bead instantly vanished.

The only remaining task for today was to go to Principal Shen's place to retrieve the star flame flower.
