Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1047 Completion of the Array Diagram
And so, led by the captain of the Xuanming Pirates, Li Qing and his group changed course and temporarily changed their target to search for Xia Wushuang's pirate crew.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and a deserted island could be seen in a quiet sea, surrounded by ships.

The lead ship was the Sea Breeze, which Li Qing was familiar with. It seemed to have sensed the approaching spirit boat and released a series of cultivators' auras, as if to intimidate them.

"Halt!" Two smaller ships approached, and the pirate monks on board looked wary.

Soon, they spotted the captain of the Xuanming Pirates on the ship. Their expressions changed drastically, and they exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no, it's the Xuanming Pirates!"

"Huh? You've got some nerve, daring to come back and fight back? I was just worried about not being able to catch you!"

"Quickly, go and inform the captain! The captain of the Xuanming Pirates is back to cause trouble!"

"."

boom!
Almost simultaneously, the Sea Breeze sailed in, crushing through countless giant waves. Many cultivators stood on the ship, most of them maintaining the ship's formation, while a few with profound cultivation stood solemnly at the bow.

The leader was a dissolute, curly-haired man with one eye covered by a black eyepatch. His aura was already very close to the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, and he could break through at any moment.

This person was none other than Xia Wushuang, who had been separated from Li Qing for a long time. He narrowed his one eye and looked at the spirit boat that was rapidly approaching, and a look of joy gradually appeared on his face.

"Hahaha, Brother Wuji, what a coincidence! I never expected to see you here!"

“Relax, everyone. This is an old friend of mine. If he is hostile, it won’t matter if you outnumber him by dozens of times.”

Xia Wushuang's loud laughter quickly spread, and his pirates looked at each other in bewilderment.

Before long, a tall figure flew out carrying the captain of the Xuanming Pirates. This time, he made no attempt to conceal the spiritual pressure of the Integration Stage, displaying his powerful cultivation to the fullest.

Those low-level pirates all changed their expressions drastically, their eyes filled with shock. They never expected that the newcomer would be a Grand Cultivator in the Integration Stage!

"Brother Xia, it's been a long time since I last saw you. You're even more impressive than before! I never imagined that after all these years, you'd be entering the late stage of the Void Refinement realm. Congratulations!"

"I recently went out to sea and on my return I captured a foolish pirate captain. He said he seemed to have some grudge against you, so I brought him here personally for you to deal with."

As Li Qing spoke, he casually tossed the infamous pirate leader onto the Sea Breeze, not even glancing at him a second time.

Xia Wushuang only glanced at him before looking away, focusing her attention more on Li Qing.

"You actually succeeded in achieving Dao Integration and are now a cultivator in the Integration stage?"

"Hahaha, this is great, this is really great!"

You could tell that Xia Wushuang was really excited, even more so than when he himself entered the Fusion Stage.

Amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the pirates, Li Qing landed on the deck of the Sea Breeze and said with a light laugh, "By the way, there's some good news about you. Of the two people you asked me to kill, I've already killed Lord Youshan."

Upon hearing this, Xia Wushuang froze on the spot, and then repeatedly exclaimed "Good!"

"Good, good, good! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

He originally thought that he would have to wait many more years to get revenge, but he didn't expect that good news would come so soon.

"The remaining one may have to wait a while longer, but I don't think it will keep you waiting too long, Brother Xia."

"I came here this time to ask you to help me completely complete the Myriad Evolutions Immortal Array. As for the two essential materials that are missing, I have already collected them all."

Xia Wushuang readily agreed. He hadn't expected Li Qing to complete the materials so quickly. Both the branches of the Tongtian Tree and the Jade Milk from the Earth's Core were materials that were extremely rare in the world.

And so, the two of them arrived at a secluded cave on the island.

Li Qing entered a grotto-heaven world, intending to break off a branch from the towering sapling rooted at the center of his grotto-heaven world to use as material to complete the formation.

But he soon discovered that the two fragments of law he had just acquired were now constantly rotating around the towering sapling.

"Hiss, such a change has actually occurred! The two fragments of law are actually nourishing this little Heavenly Tree, while the Heavenly Tree is also completing these two law runes!"

The little tree has grown much taller and stronger, with branches extending from the main trunk and leaves becoming very lush.

Of course, this is far from comparable to the real Tongtian Tree, which has many titles such as World Tree, Jianmu, and Ancestor Tree of All Realms. How could this small tree, which was differentiated from a branch, compare to it?

"I thought this towering tree could only absorb life essence to grow, but I didn't expect that the power in the fragments of laws could also nourish it."

"In this way, we don't have to worry too much about breaking a branch causing irreversible damage."

As he spoke, Li Qing used the Immortal Slaughtering Sword to cut a branch about the thickness of an arm from the small Heavenly Tree, the cut being smooth and clean.

Immediately afterwards, the two law runes surrounding it emitted law power, which was completely absorbed by the Little Heavenly Tree, and the cut on the branch was quickly repaired.

"Indeed, now that my cave world has the support of this small Tongtian Tree, its sturdiness has increased considerably. If it is further refined in the future, its power will be even greater, and it may even evolve into a complete world."

After speaking, Li Qing took the cut-off branch with him and handed it over to Xia Wushuang along with the Earth Core Jade Milk, asking her to help complete the Myriad Evolutions Immortal Array.

Xia Wushuang's mastery of formations is trustworthy. Over the years, he has progressed far in the field of formations, so doing these small tasks is naturally a piece of cake for him.

In just a few days, he perfectly refined the Earth Core Jade Milk and the Heavenly Tree Branch into the Myriad Evolutions Immortal Array, completely completing the array diagram that served as the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array.

boom!
On that day, a terrifying aura swept across the entire silent sea.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation diagram is now perfectly complete. From now on, Li Qing will no longer have to worry about damaging the formation base when using the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, and can use it at will.

Of course, to unleash the full power of this sword formation, Li Qing would need to add two more killing swords, but that was only a matter of time.

"I never expected that this array diagram would actually be completed one day. It's truly unbelievable."

"This formation has a great origin. It originated from a celestial formation. It was originally a fragment of a formation obtained by our predecessors in the Lingxiao Celestial Realm. It was then completed by successive sect leaders and finally became the Myriad Evolutions Celestial Formation."

"If it can be completely refined in my hands, it can be considered as fulfilling the wishes of many great predecessors in the sect."

Xia Wushuang sighed, a sense of loss showing in her eyes.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation Diagram rolled up again, and the terrifying aura that had swept across the entire sea area quickly disappeared. "With this formation, helping you kill your last enemy in the future won't be a difficult task."

"Brother Xia, just wait for news overseas. That day won't be too far away," Li Qing said casually, his tone brimming with confidence.

He wasn't overly arrogant, but rather had a clear understanding of his own abilities.

In the future, when the four swords of Zhuxian are unleashed together, coupled with this sword formation diagram, cultivators below the Mahayana stage will likely find it difficult to find any rivals.

"Hahaha, then I'll be waiting for your good news. Come on, it's rare for us to meet, so let's have a good drink this time."

"Over the years, while adrift at sea, I've amassed quite a collection of fine wines and spirits, to say the least."

Unable to refuse the warm hospitality, Li Qing eventually invited Wan Shengtian and his family to join him at the banquet. Together with the pirates, they drank heartily of the spirit wine and fine spirits, staying for several days before finally departing.

After a brief reunion, Li Qing and Wan Shengtian's family set off again to return to Tianyuan Continent.

Upon reaching the human territory, Li Qing used his own escape light to carry them to the nearest city with a teleportation array. Using the teleportation array, they returned to Tianxing City and then quickly returned to Liantian Pavilion.

This time, he was away for a short period of time, only about a year.

Originally, Li Qing was worried that he would miss the opportunity to refine the Chaos Treasure by the Heavenly Venerable. Fortunately, there has been no news so far. As for the Refining Heaven Pavilion Master, he is still in seclusion and does not see any guests.

After returning to the pavilion, Li Qing inquired a little about the current situation of the human race.

The Immortal Path War with the Beast Fang Clan has not yet fully erupted, but the two clans frequently engage in sparring matches between their younger generations. The high-ranking officials on both sides rarely make a move, showing considerable restraint, unlike the intense conflict that began at the start of the war.

"The younger generation of the two clans are actually sparring; isn't that a bit too childish?" Li Qing frowned, feeling that something was amiss.

It should be noted that the Heavenly Refining Pavilion had rushed to build several Heavenly Fate Warships in previous years, clearly preparing for this fierce Immortal War. However, it seems that the project has started strong but ended weakly.

"Never mind, since there's still no movement, I'll go into seclusion and let the outside world's disturbances pass by like smoke."

After making his decision, Li Qing returned to his Wuji Palace.

The two nominal disciples were still there, but the personal disciple Li Qiyin was nowhere to be seen and was not in the hall.

"Greetings, Master. Senior Sister Li said she has some feelings and plans to travel around to find an opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, so she is not in the hall."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing shook his head helplessly and said, "I think they went out to find food rather than to travel."

"Forget it, that girl is lazy to begin with, you two shouldn't follow her example!"

"Take these. These are some pills left over from when I was cultivating at the Nascent Soul stage. They will be of great benefit to improving your cultivation and increasing your magical power. Cultivate well."

Upon seeing this, the two disciples' eyes lit up. They quickly accepted the pills and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master!"

"I'm going into seclusion for a while now, so please don't disturb me unless it's something important."

"As ordered!"

And so, Li Qing entered into a deep period of seclusion. He had so much to do and time was very tight.

With the impending Immortal War, which could erupt at any moment, his sense of urgency intensified.

He had a premonition that the Celestial Venerable's plan to refine a Chaos Treasure might cause a great stir and have a far-reaching impact.

To protect oneself amidst such turmoil, one must continuously enhance one's strength.

"Let me see. First, we need to switch our cultivation techniques. Second, the forging of the Immortal Execution Sword and the Immortal Absolute Sword should also be put on the agenda."

"I gained a great deal in the Wanbao Ancient Realm this time, and I must transform it into my own strength as soon as possible."

"Finally, I need to cultivate the Golden Cicada Rebirth Technique. Once I master this immortal technique, I can use it to undergo a second transformation."

"And we can't forget about refining pills either. The materials for refining the Dao Integration Pill are now completely ready."

Just as he was saying these words, the small purple cauldron hanging from Li Qing's hair by his ear flew out.

The small cauldron expanded, growing to be taller than a person in the blink of an eye. Its dark purple body was crystal clear, and a slender figure emerged from it.

"So this is the Tianyuan Continent? When I reached the peak of the Integration Stage, I thought about whether I should come to this continent to seek the opportunity to break through to the Mahayana Stage, but I never did."

"I've heard that the Three-Eyed Saint Clan, the strongest on this continent, possesses the strength to challenge the entire Spirit Realm. I wonder if it's true or not."

Looking at the woman's figure, Li Qing quickly clasped his hands and said, "Senior, do you know how to refine the Dao Integration Pill?"

Upon hearing this, the woman turned around and looked at Li Qing with a half-smile, nodding and saying, "Of course I will. This is an important pill for the Integration Stage. Without this Integration Pill, how could I have cultivated so quickly?"

"It's not impossible for me to refine the Dao Integration Pill for you. Consider it as a way of repaying you for taking me away from the Myriad Treasures Ancient Realm. I can start the furnace for you once."

"If you want to forge more furnaces, then we'll see what price you're willing to pay!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing remained silent for a moment before speaking, "What does Senior desire?"

The woman on the dark purple jade cauldron sat on the edge of the cauldron's mouth, crossed her legs, and revealed the stunning scenery beneath her skirt.

She didn't seem to care at all and said, "I want to get rid of my spirit form and regain my human form!"

This is asking too much. Once it is refined into a spirit, it will no longer be able to possess a cultivator. It will be trapped in the treasure for life, and it will be virtually impossible to escape. If the treasure is destroyed, the spirit will also dissipate.

This is common knowledge.

Li Qing frowned; he really didn't know how to handle this request.

But soon, he patted the silver ring on his wrist, and a piece of black, decaying wood, exuding endless yin energy, appeared in the hall.

"This is Soul-Nourishing Wood, which I obtained from the Myriad Treasures Herb Garden. It is of extremely high age. If it can be of any help to you, senior, I am willing to offer it to you directly!"
