Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1050 The Ancient Realm of Burning Flames
Inside the main hall of the Refining Heaven Pavilion.

Including Li Qing, a total of five figures entered the hall. All of them were Nascent Soul stage Venerables who had comprehended the laws of the Refining Heaven Pavilion and held pivotal positions within the pavilion.

Inside the hall, everyone's eyes were fixed on the figure at the very end of the council hall.

The Refining Heaven Pavilion Master has emerged from seclusion. He has gained a great deal from his long period of closed-door cultivation, and now his aura is even more distant and ethereal.

Even though the Lord of the Refining Heaven Pavilion was sitting right in front of them, Li Qing felt that he was very, very far away from them and hard to fathom.

He has become even stronger, and is only half a step away from the perfect integration stage. In the future, he may really have a chance to try to break through to the Mahayana stage.

Once one's cultivation reaches the Perfection of the Integration Stage, one is considered to have initially qualified to attempt the Mahayana Stage.

Of course, this is only the most basic qualification; the hope of success is still quite slim.

Just like the old patriarch of the Heavenly Dog Clan, whose cultivation had stagnated at the Perfection of the Integration Stage for many years and who had never taken that step, simply because this stage was too difficult. Throughout history, countless brilliant talents have perished here.

The Mahayana stage represents the pinnacle of cultivation in the mortal realm. Beyond that lies the attainment of immortality and entry into the realm of immortality.

The council hall was quiet. The figure of the Refining Heaven Pavilion Master was shrouded in darkness, making it difficult to see the expression on his face.

At this moment, Venerable Xingluo became restless and hesitated before saying, "Sect Master."

"Okay, everyone's here, let's set off."

"This matter is a top secret of the human race and must not be leaked. No one is allowed to discuss this matter before meeting the Celestial Venerable, so as to avoid revealing heavenly secrets."

The Pavilion Master of Liantian Pavilion spoke solemnly. After he finished speaking, he slowly stood up and led everyone away from the council hall, flying out of Liantian Pavilion.

Li Qing, who was following behind, remained silent. He knew why they weren't even allowed to talk.

Once their cultivation reaches the Mahayana stage, these supreme experts can attempt to deduce the secrets of heaven and discern changes in the heavenly order in the blink of an eye.

Humanity is currently at war with the Beast Fang Clan, yet the Celestial Venerable has chosen this critical juncture to refine a Chaos Treasure. In his view, this is hardly a good time to refine a treasure.

If the Mahayana stage ancestor of the Beast Fang Clan were to find out about this, he would absolutely not allow the treasure refining project to proceed smoothly.

Refining a Chaos Treasure is already defying the heavens. If a powerful cultivator from another race at the Mahayana stage comes to obstruct it, the trouble will be truly immense, and the chances of successfully refining it will be extremely slim.

This time, the treasure refining trip was naturally to the Dao Palace, but the Refining Heaven Pavilion Master did not lead everyone to Star River City to take the teleportation array. Instead, he went in the opposite direction and came to a mountain far away from the Refining Heaven Pavilion.

The Pavilion Master of the Refining Heaven Pavilion pointed a finger in the air, causing ripples to spread across the void, and then the scenery of the mountains and rivers below changed.

A teleportation array was hidden here!

"This matter is of great importance. We can only use the secret teleportation array to directly teleport to the Dao Palace. Please follow me." The Refining Heaven Pavilion Master stepped onto the teleportation array and distributed ancient teleportation tokens to Li Qing and the others.

Wow!
Immediately afterwards, a large number of spirit stones were poured out, and the rich spiritual energy immediately entered the teleportation array. In an instant, the spirit stones were drained into empty fragments.

boom!
The teleportation array was activated, and a beam of light shot straight into the sky. After a violent spatial fluctuation, the six people inside the teleportation array disappeared from their original spot.

Before long, Li Qing and the others were teleported to a magnificent and ethereal celestial palace.

Gazing at the celestial palace perched atop the sea of ​​clouds, Li Qing was still filled with awe, even though it was the second time he had seen it.

“Let’s go. Not long ago, the Supreme Celestial Venerable Taiyuan returned to the Dao Palace. This time, let’s go directly to see the Celestial Venerable.” The Refining Heaven Pavilion Master said calmly.

Hearing this, Li Qing felt a surge of emotion. After cultivating for so long, was he finally about to see the strongest being below the Immortal Realm?

Although he had previously come into contact with powerful figures in the Mahayana stage, those were all Dao bodies or divine thought incarnations. But this time was different; this time he was going to meet the true body of the Supreme Celestial Venerable Taiyuan directly!

Led by the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Refining Pavilion, Li Qing and the others followed and flew into this celestial palace.

In an instant, the entire celestial palace seemed to come alive. The thick clouds around it rippled away, and a colorful rainbow bridge stretched out, leading the group from the Refining Heaven Pavilion into the depths of the celestial palace.

During the process, Li Qing couldn't even see the changes in the scenery clearly. He only felt that in the blink of an eye, he had arrived in a secluded temple. The rainbow bridge from before had long since disappeared, as if it were an illusion.

Inside this temple, there was an ordinary-looking old farmer sweeping the dust off the ground with a broom. His movements were meticulous, and he was extremely serious with every sweep.

Upon seeing this, the Pavilion Master of the Refining Heaven Pavilion quickly stepped forward and respectfully clasped his hands, saying, "Xiao Chen, the forty-seventh Pavilion Master of the Refining Heaven Pavilion, greets the Supreme Celestial Venerable Taiyuan!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing took a deep breath and quickly followed the others, bowing his head and clasping his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Taiyuan Heavenly Venerable!"

This was the first time they had ever seen the Celestial Venerable of the Human Race in person. They hadn't expected him to be so simple and unadorned, dressed in coarse linen clothes, looking exactly like an old farmer.

If this were placed in the mundane world, they would not give this person a second glance and would naturally ignore his existence.

Taiyuan Tianzun didn't even look up at them, he just nodded slightly and continued sweeping the dust off the ground.

"It's only been a few hundred years since we left, yet there's so much dust on the ground. Xiao Xiao, what do you think happened?" Taiyuan Tianzun said casually.

The Lord of the Refining Heaven Pavilion did not change his expression at all, and did not mind the Heavenly Venerable calling him Xiao Xiao. He respectfully said, "It's just a little dust, just sweep it away. Why does the Heavenly Venerable need to go to such trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Taiyuan Tianzun gradually stopped sweeping, leaning on the broom with one hand, and looked up at the group from Liantian Pavilion.

"Yes, if there's dust, then just sweep it away."

"It would be great if, if there were traitors, they could be eliminated so easily."

“A Nascent Soul stage Venerable who has comprehended the laws is an extremely rare existence in any race. I really don’t want to kill him like this unless it’s necessary.”

Upon hearing this, Li Qing felt a surge of shock and disbelief.

There are traitors among them? Traitors to humanity!
Li Qing almost subconsciously raised his head and looked at the elders accompanying him, his eyes filled with extreme shock.

These people are all Supreme Elders of the Refining Heaven Pavilion, highly respected and having served in the pavilion for a long time. Their positions are extremely important. How could they possibly betray the human race?

The other elders were in the same boat, looking at each other with incredibly varied expressions, completely unaware of who had betrayed them. Only one middle-aged man in a black Taoist robe stood motionless, his face deathly pale, and slowly knelt on the ground.

"Elder Xuanyang, you..."

"Why did you betray Elder Xuan Yang of the human race? Has the Refining Heaven Pavilion ever mistreated you?"

"How is this possible? Elder Xuan Yang, you are a traitor!!"

Seeing this scene, how could everyone not know that Elder Xuan Yang, who held an extremely high position in the pavilion, was the traitor that Taiyuan Tianzun had mentioned?

Since the Celestial Venerable has made such a pronouncement, he cannot be wrong; he must have some undisclosed and irrefutable evidence.

Elder Xuan Yang kowtowed to the ground and said in a deep voice, "Xuan Yang deserves to die a thousand deaths. He has failed the human race, the Heavenly Venerable, and the Pavilion Master."

He readily admitted to the matter without denying it, and didn't even bother to offer any further explanation.

The Refining Heaven Pavilion Master sighed and slowly turned around, looking at Elder Xuan Yang with a complicated expression: "I remember when you were still at the Refining Void stage, you left the Refining Heaven Pavilion for a long time in order to break through to the Integration stage, saying that you wanted to find an opportunity to break through."

"You have been gone for nearly a thousand years without returning to the pavilion. Not only the others in the pavilion, but even I thought you had perished."

"But you returned alive a thousand years later, and even successfully broke through to the Integration Stage. I am sincerely happy for you. For this reason, the entire Refining Heaven Pavilion held an Integration Ceremony for you, inviting cultivators from all directions to come and congratulate you."

"So your betrayal was caused by that thousand-year disappearance?"

Elder Xuan Yang's body trembled slightly as he spoke, "Back then, I wandered in the Great Wilderness for hundreds of years, but I couldn't even find a trace of a Dao-merging spiritual object. I had no choice but to force my way through the barrier."

"I almost failed in my attempts to break through the barrier, but for some reason, a powerful cultivator from another race suddenly appeared and helped me stabilize the dissipated true essence in my body. He not only kept me alive, but also gave me a Dao-integrating spiritual object, allowing me to successfully advance to the Integration stage."

"That Mahayana stage expert did not say which clan he came from. He simply planted a hidden restriction in my primordial spirit and left. At the time, I was unaware of this."

"Later, after I finished studying the Daoist Canon in the Daoist Palace, this restriction was triggered."

Taiyuan Tianzun's expression remained calm and expressionless as he spoke, "Now that things have come to this, is there anything else you wish to say?"

"Xuan Yang is willing to die!" Elder Xuan Yang kowtowed heavily, the sound reverberating in the hearts of the other Supreme Elders.

Taiyuan Tianzun swung his broom again, and this time all the dust on the temple floor flew up. Elder Xuanyang's body turned into a shower of light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

A Venerable One at the mid-stage of the Integration Realm died so easily.

Li Qing's heart trembled slightly, shocked by the Heavenly Venerable's methods. So this was a cultivator in the Mahayana stage? He had so easily wiped out the life of a cultivator in the Integration stage. It was simply terrifying.

The Pavilion Master of Liantian bowed his head and clasped his hands, saying, "Xiao Chen is poor at judging people; I beg the Heavenly Venerable to punish him!"

"Let's skip it. If we really punish you, who will assist in refining the treasure next?"

"You should atone for your sins by doing good deeds. Put in more effort when refining the Chaos Treasures." Taiyuan Tianzun put away his broom, his gaze swept over the remaining people, then lingered on Li Qing for a moment before withdrawing his gaze.

The Pavilion Master of the Refining Heaven Pavilion hesitated before speaking, "The matter of refining treasures may have already been leaked, which could introduce many new variables. Do we really still want to continue?"

"Of course we will refine it. Rather, this matter might mislead others into thinking that we will also cancel our treasure-refining plan," said Taiyuan Tianzun firmly.

"Let's set off. Xiaoyao has been waiting for a long time; it's time to go."

After saying this, Taiyuan Tianzun gently waved the broom in his hand, and the entire temple suddenly rose into the air, then disappeared into the Taoist palace.

The next moment, the temple appeared in a fiery red world. The earth here was formed from magma, with streams of crimson magma running through it like rivers, and the clouds in the sky were seas of flame.

This is clearly no longer Tianyuan Continent; it must be in some independent interface.

Li Qing had never even heard of such a fiery realm in the world. The entire world seemed to be made of flames, and the six spiritual fires of heaven and earth within his body were extremely active in this realm.

"The Ancient Realm of Burning Flames is an independent realm outside the Nine Heavens Void. In ancient times, it was the territory of the Fire Spirit Clan. Later, due to unforeseen events, this realm became uninhabitable, and the Fire Spirit Clan moved to the Spirit Realm." Elder Xingluo said in shock. He often entered the Nine Heavens Void and had a deep understanding of some special independent realms in the void.

Only those who have reached the Mahayana stage of cultivation can freely enter and exit such realms hidden in the void of the Nine Heavens.

Taiyuan Tianzun flicked his sleeves, and a spatial passage opened up directly in the void. He led the group of weapon-refining elders from the Liantian Pavilion into it.

boom!
A wave of heat swept over them, and they found themselves in the heart of the Burning Flame Ancient Realm, where the air was filled with traces of the power of the laws of fire.

Soon, a relaxed voice rang out: "You've come at the perfect time, let's begin now."

"Next, you will use the secret techniques in the 'Refining Heaven Scripture' to refine all the spiritual materials and divine ingredients together, refining them to the extreme! Meanwhile, Brother Taiyuan and I will refine the Chaos Origin to keep it in an active state."

"After the spiritual materials are refined, you will need to work together to refine all the spiritual materials into the prototype of the treasure. Finally, Brother Taiyuan and I will refine the Chaos Origin into the prototype of the treasure to make it a Chaos Treasure."

"The prototype of the treasure is in the shape of a tower. Xiao Chen knows the blueprints and steps for its crafting. He will be in charge of the crafting process this time."

The only one who can address Taiyuan Tianzun as "brother" is naturally Xiaoyao Tianzun!
A figure in green robes stepped out of the sea of ​​fire, and the surrounding flames seemed to repel him, making way for him.

It is none other than the Carefree Celestial Venerable!

The carefree Celestial Venerable squinted and smiled. He looked at Li Qing and said, "Boy, I didn't expect to meet you again so soon. You've comprehended the power of laws in such a short time. You're truly remarkable."

"Keep up the good work, I'll be waiting for you to take over my job in the future."

Swish!
Upon hearing this, the other Supreme Elders of the Refining Heaven Pavilion looked at Li Qing in utter shock. They had never expected that Li Qing would actually gain the attention of the Carefree Heavenly Venerable!
Moreover, he is being waited for by the carefree Celestial Venerable to succeed him—what an honor!

Li Qing was stunned, not expecting the Carefree Celestial Venerable to say such a thing.

"You flatter me, Celestial Venerable. I am merely at the early stage of the Integration Realm. I am unworthy of such high expectations from you," Li Qing said, taking a deep breath and bowing with his fists clasped.

The carefree Celestial Venerable, however, was extremely easygoing and unrestrained. He waved his hand and said, "Who can predict the future? Besides, whether this refining is successful or not, you guys will all benefit from it."
