Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1052 The Arrival of the Mahayana
In the ancient realm of Burning Flames, twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye. Overwhelming flames surge from all directions, and the power of fire in this realm is simply inexhaustible.

At the heart of the raging flames, five powerful figures each occupied a corner, and before them, a seven-story, five-sided Xuanhuang Pagoda was beginning to take shape.

This is a pagoda forged from the Primordial Profound Yellow Mountain. It has only just been completed. Strands of Profound Yellow Qi flow out from the pagoda and swirl around its body. Each strand of Profound Yellow Qi can easily crush a mountain ridge.

"Now! Refine the last auxiliary materials into the tower, and then repeatedly temper the tower with the 'Refining Heaven Scripture'!" The Refining Heaven Pavilion Master roared, and directly hammered his refined Xuan Yin Iron into the lowest level of the tower.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing immediately took out the refined Solar Fire Essence and placed it into the top layer of the Xuanhuang Pagoda.

Each layer of the tower was crafted from a peerless divine material, and the seven layers were interconnected, radiating a precious light.

boom!
A pagoda is about to be completed!
Even though the Chaos Origin has not yet been integrated into it, once this pagoda is successfully born, it will be an extremely powerful Xuanhuang Pagoda, and it should not be difficult for it to reach the top of the Tongtian Spiritual Treasure Ranking.

The reason is that the spiritual materials used in this Xuanhuang Tower are too amazing, and it was made by five weapon refiners from the human race with the highest weapon refining skills. This almost represents the highest masterpiece in the human race's weapon refining world.

But this is far from the end!

This time, they're not here to refine some heaven-reaching spiritual treasure. This time, they're going to make history in the spiritual realm's cultivation world by refining a Chaos Supreme Treasure using acquired methods!
Prescribing the name of this Xuanhuang Pagoda with the word "Chaos" will transform it into the Chaos Xuanhuang Pagoda!
Therefore, they did not allow the Xuanhuang Pagoda to be fully completed, but stopped when it was about to be completed.

If the previous ten years or so of refining were just an appetizer, then what follows is the most difficult and crucial part.

boom!
The figure of the Carefree Celestial Venerable has appeared. In front of him, a mass of chaotic origin is constantly surging, as if it is about to explode at any moment. It is already in its most active state, and this is the best time.

"You all step back a hundred feet. From now on, Brother Taiyuan and I will lead the weapon forging, and you will assist us from the side," said the Carefree Celestial Venerable solemnly.

Soon, the figure of Taiyuan Tianzun appeared. He stepped down from the sky and pointed a finger at the Xuanhuang Pagoda that was about to take shape below.

A terrifying surge of spiritual energy poured out, and this realm could hardly withstand such a powerful impact. Space itself began to distort, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

The Xuanhuang Pagoda began to spin rapidly, and the incredibly heavy Xuanhuang Qi also spun along with it, sweeping in the endless flames around it, forming a vortex of fire.

As for Li Qing and the others, they heeded the advice and stayed away, not daring to get too close, for fear of being affected.

When a Celestial Venerable in the Mahayana stage makes a move, he or she can destroy this world with a single action. If they are not careful, they may really risk their lives.

Soon, the Carefree Celestial Venerable also made his move. He pushed the void horizontally with both hands, and the mass of chaotic origin in front of him was directly blasted into the Xuanhuang Tower.

Li Qing, who was watching this scene from the side, was deeply moved. He cultivated the Chaos Law and didn't even want to blink, closely observing the weapon refining process.

"It's a pity. If I could get some Chaos Origin, my understanding of the Chaos Laws would be much deeper." Li Qing sighed inwardly, but he knew it was impossible. The Heavenly Venerable was going to refine a Chaos Treasure, so how could he possibly share the precious Chaos Origin with him to absorb?

However, Li Qing wasn't particularly disappointed, because he could still summon the Xuan Tian Immortal Palace once more. The palace spirit had promised him that once he advanced to the Integration Stage, it would give him some Chaos Origin.

Over the years, he has been delayed by various matters, and Li Qing is not confident enough in his own strength, so he has never been able to summon the Xuan Tian Immortal Palace.

After all, he knew that every time the Xuan Tian Immortal Palace descended upon the world, it would cause an extremely large commotion.

If it were to descend upon the Tianyuan Continent, it would likely attract the covetous eyes of many powerful figures, as there are quite a few Mahayana stage ancestors among various races.

Even powerful true spirits from some ancient outer realms will descend. Last time on the Canglan Continent, Li Qing personally witnessed a golden-winged roc trying to break through the Xuantian Immortal Palace.

Therefore, he plans to wait until at least the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm, or even the late-stage of the Fusion Realm, to go out to sea and travel far away from the Tianyuan Continent to summon the Xuantian Immortal Palace.

Although it might not be able to avoid the notice of those top Mahayana cultivators, it's still better than summoning them directly on the Tianyuan Continent.

On this continent, there are even beings that are almost like immortals.

The Three-Eyed Sacred Clan, in particular, is ridiculously powerful. Not only does the clan have peerless experts at the late Mahayana stage, but they also clearly possess a Chaos Treasure, making them arguably the strongest race in the Spirit Realm. People from this clan even dare to prey on True Spirits.

In the sea of ​​fire, the surrounding flames gradually thinned, and countless eyes were fixed on the Xuanhuang Pagoda without blinking.

The Xuanhuang Pagoda is now surrounded by the intertwining and fusion of Xuanhuang Qi and chaotic mist, and its heavy body has begun to tremble slightly.

Suddenly, a clear and crisp sound rang out.

Click!

The Xuanhuang Pagoda has cracked!

Upon hearing this sound, everyone's eyes widened, and they showed expressions of disbelief.

"How is that possible? This is a pagoda forged from the Primordial Profound Yellow Mountain. We spent sixteen years refining it. Can't even such a divine material withstand the fusion of the Chaos Origin?"

"That shouldn't be the case. If even this doesn't work, then what kind of material in the world can withstand the fusion of the Chaos Origin? Could it be a celestial material?"

"Is all our efforts in vain, a complete waste?"

"."

Li Qing remained silent, his expression still incredibly focused as he intently observed the evolution of the primordial chaos within the tower.

The law he cultivates is the law of chaos, and his understanding of this power is far more profound than that of the other Supreme Elders.

After a long while, Li Qing, who had noticed some signs, muttered to himself, "It shouldn't be a failure. The power of chaos is extremely profound. It is both the beginning of all things and the end of all spirits."

"This is the primordial chaos reshaping the tower. Only when it is truly destroyed and rebuilt will the primordial chaos truly merge with the Xuanhuang Tower."

Upon hearing this, the Carefree Celestial Venerable glanced at Li Qing with an expression of admiration in his eyes.

Neither he nor Taiyuan Tianzun showed any sign of annoyance, as if they had anticipated this change, and their expressions remained calm.

After observing for a while, the Carefree Celestial Venerable spoke again: "Let's begin. It's not enough to make the Chaos Origin naturally merge with the Xuanhuang Tower. We need to put in a little more effort."

"However, that would also hasten the cracking of the Xuanhuang Pagoda. The five of you should each use your own methods to assist in reinforcing and repairing the Xuanhuang Pagoda!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two Celestial Venerables continued to harmonize the Chaos Origin, using their supreme magical power to accelerate the fusion of the Chaos Origin with the tower body.

Meanwhile, Li Qing and his group of five each employed unfathomable weapon-refining techniques, employing a variety of methods to reinforce and repair the Xuanhuang Pagoda from a distance of a hundred feet.

Strands of primordial chaos and profound yellow energy flowed out from it, and the two energies truly began to merge and intertwine.

With the reinforcement of five skilled weapon refiners from the Refining Heaven Pavilion, the Xuanhuang Pagoda has been in a state of repair. Although it has not improved, it has been able to maintain its cracked appearance.

"Hold on, I have ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk here. If your magic power is insufficient, you can drink it directly to quickly restore your magic power."

As he spoke, the generous Taiyuan Heavenly Venerable distributed a whole bottle of pure ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk to each of Li Qing and the other four. It contained no impurities and had not been diluted. As long as they consumed it, they could immediately replenish their lost true essence.

After receiving the millennium-old spiritual milk, Li Qing drank a small sip without hesitation, and the true essence he had lost quickly began to replenish itself.

During this process, he couldn't help but glance at the Carefree Celestial Venerable and noticed that he seemed somewhat absent-minded, glancing at the sky from time to time.

Li Qing's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something might change.

A powerful being at the Mahayana stage can easily discern the secrets of heaven and observe changes in the heavenly cycle. The fact that the Carefree Celestial Venerable is acting this way suggests that he may have sensed something amiss.

On the surface, Li Qing remained calm and continued repairing the Xuanhuang Pagoda without slowing down. However, he was secretly preparing to use the spatial light to escape at any time.

Soon, an extremely faint sound entered his ears; it was the voice conveyed by the spirit of the medicine cauldron.

"Be careful, it seems that other powerful beings have descended upon this realm."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing was overwhelmed with shock and almost used his spatial light and the ability to escape thousands of miles away in an instant.

For someone to be referred to as a powerful being by Jade Spirit Venerable in such a tone, they must definitely be at the Mahayana stage of cultivation!

The human race only has two Great Ascension stage Celestial Venerables, so the newcomer is obviously a powerful figure from another race. Li Qing doesn't believe that this mysterious powerhouse who suddenly broke into this realm is here to assist them in refining treasures.

The person is not good!
As expected, not long after, a rift tore open in the sky of the Burning Flame Ancient Realm, and the sky suddenly darkened. Immediately afterwards, two scarlet eyes appeared in the gray sky, each as huge as the sun, followed by a domineering and awe-inspiring aura that swept across the land.

boom!
The five Nascent Soul stage cultivators present all paused, feeling their true essence solidify and become sluggish. This pressure was too strong, as if it would crush the entire world.

Soon, a deep, muffled sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Taiyuan, Xiaoyao, you two have quite the refined taste. Abandoning your own clans, you actually ran to the Fire Spirit Clan's lair to refine treasures. Aren't you afraid that those old guys from the Beast Fang Clan will wipe out your human race?"

A colossal figure slowly descended from the sky; this was its true form, so large that it blotted out the sun, and for a moment half the sky turned pitch black.

This was a figure with bat wings on its back and two huge ram horns on its head. The overwhelming pressure emanating from it almost made Li Qing and the others tremble slightly.

As expected, the treasure refining process could not proceed smoothly this time, as a powerful figure from another race came to interfere.

For a moment, despair welled up in the hearts of the people from the Refining Heaven Pavilion, and they all looked at the two Heavenly Venerables.

Neither the Carefree Celestial Venerable nor the Supreme Celestial Venerable showed any surprise at this, as if they had expected it all along.

After the carefree Celestial Venerable poured a wisp of true essence into the Chaos Profound Yellow Pagoda, he slowly raised his head and looked up at the figure that blotted out the sky.

He chuckled softly, and as his laughter echoed, the overwhelming pressure dissipated.

"Hehe, so it is the Netherhorn God of the Ghost Horn Clan. May I ask what brings you here, my friend?"

On the Tianyuan Continent, the ninth-ranked race is the Ghost Horn Clan!

It turned out to be the Mahayana stage ancestor of this clan who came. They thought it would be the ancestor of the Beast Fang Clan, but it turned out to be the Ghost Horn Clan, which is even more powerful!
The Dark Horn God did not rush to make a move. He coldly replied, "I am just here to kindly remind you two that the Beast Fang Clan has launched a full-scale offensive against your human race. If you stay in the Burning Flame Ancient Realm any longer, I'm afraid your human race will be wiped out."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of several Supreme Elders of the Refining Heaven Pavilion changed drastically. They had not expected the Beast Fang Clan's offensive to come so quickly, and without the protection of the Heavenly Venerable, the human race was in danger of being wiped out.

However, the two Celestial Venerables remained calm, especially the Carefree Celestial Venerable, who couldn't help but laugh: "Heh, there are many True Spirit families among the human race. If there is a real danger of collapse, they can all use the secret techniques and methods passed down in their families to summon True Spirits to protect the human race."

"I don't think those old guys from the Beast Fang Clan would dare to come out all at once, so I'm not afraid of what Fellow Daoist Mingjiao mentioned."

The voice of the Underworld God became even colder, as if questioning, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Absolutely not afraid!"

Upon hearing this response, the aura emanating from the Underworld God suddenly erupted, and endless death energy was released from the bat wings on his back, instantly staining the sky.

“Xiaoyao, I’m not the only one from the Ghost Horn Clan who has set out this time. An elderly ancestor of our clan has also joined the effort and will assist the Beast Fang Clan in annihilating your human race.”

"If your only backup plan is those True Spirit Bloodline descendants, then your human race should be wiped off the Tianyuan Continent this time."

The carefree Celestial Venerable's expression remained unchanged; in fact, his smile deepened.

"Don't worry, you all continue refining the treasures. I'm going to meet this powerful figure from the Ghost Horn Clan."

Having said that, the figure of the Carefree Celestial Venerable had already disappeared from the spot. The people of the Refining Heaven Pavilion, who were originally somewhat fearful and uneasy, were now much calmer and more at ease.

When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; they can only hope that the Heavenly Venerable is powerful enough.

Li Qing's expression was uncertain, but without saying a word, he began to actively participate in the refining of the Chaos Profound Yellow Tower.

He cultivates the Law of Chaos, which can assist in the fusion of the Chaos Origin and the Pagoda. Although he cannot completely replace the Celestial Venerable, he can still play a role.

Moreover, he could clearly and profoundly perceive the surge of chaotic power, which was of great benefit to his cultivation of the laws of chaos.

Although he was participating in the refining of the Chaos Profound Yellow Tower, his thoughts were churning rapidly.

"Humans and the Ghost Horned Clan already have an irreconcilable feud. If the Chaos Profound Yellow Tower can really be forged, it might directly threaten the Ghost Horned Clan's position."

"It's understandable that the Ghost Horn Clan would take action. The mysterious foreign Mahayana cultivator who placed the restriction on Elder Xuan Yang and caused him to betray him was probably from the Ghost Horn Clan. No wonder the Dark Horn God Venerable was able to find the Burning Flame Ancient Realm so accurately."

"But the two Celestial Venerables are so calm, they seem to have considerable confidence, and they must have a way to deal with it."

"Even so, I should be fully prepared. If things go wrong, my own life is the most important thing."

Just as Li Qing was thinking this, an earth-shattering divine battle broke out in the sky!

The two powerful cultivators at the Mahayana stage have begun their duel, and their first move was earth-shattering. They didn't even bother with any probing; they went straight to getting serious.

Rumble!
A terrifying surge of spiritual energy erupted from the sky above the Burning Flame Ancient Realm, each leak of energy seeming to be capable of destroying the world.

Space shattered, and endless gales swept in from beyond the sky, obstructing everyone's view.

It was only because they were far enough apart that they survived; otherwise, even the slightest aftershocks from the all-out battle between two Mahayana stage experts would have been enough to kill them a thousand times over.

Moreover, with Taiyuan Tianzun by their side, even if there were aftershocks sweeping in from afar, they wouldn't actually affect them while they were refining the treasure.

However, feelings of fear and unease were still inevitable. Even Li Qing felt a chill run down his spine. If the situation turned bad, he would not hesitate to use the spatial light to escape.

At this moment, Taiyuan Tianzun, who had been silent for a long time, spoke. His voice was calm, showing no concern for the earth-shattering divine battle taking place at the top of the sky.

"The laws you cultivate allow you to participate in the forging of the Chaos Profound Yellow Tower. With your talent for refining weapons, you should also be able to detect some abnormalities."

Upon hearing this, the other four, including the Pavilion Master of the Refining Heaven Pavilion, were stunned. They all looked at Li Qing, realizing that the words of the Heavenly Venerable Taiyuan had been spoken to him.

He was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. He had been preoccupied with the earth-shattering divine battle in the heavens, so he had no mind to comprehend the forging of the Chaos Profound Yellow Tower.

Taiyuan Tianzun continued, "Keep your focus and think again about the mysteries explained in the second volume of the 'Refining Heaven Canon'."

Volume 2 of the Refining Heaven Manual.
At this moment, Li Qing focused his attention on the Chaos Xuanhuang Tower again. With the help of the Chaos Law, he was indeed able to resonate with this unfinished treasure.

The next moment, the Chaos Dao Seed in Li Qing's dantian trembled, as if it had made some connection with the Chaos Origin in the Xuanhuang Tower.

The primordial chaos seemed to come alive, as if conveying some kind of desire.

Before long, Li Qing exclaimed in utter horror, "It...it craves the sacrifice of powerful beings?"

Taiyuan Tianzun revealed a look of aptitude and said, "This treasure refining is destined to be disrupted, and the time is too rushed."

"In order to make it take shape as soon as possible, Xiaoyao and I used some shady secret methods."

"If we can continue the process smoothly without any interference, then we will continue refining step by step. But if anyone is foolish enough to try to interfere, then we will offer them as a sacrifice to the Chaos Origin to accelerate its fusion with the Xuanhuang Tower."

"To put it bluntly, it's just a blood sacrifice technique, a dark and shady method."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked incredulous, and then looked up at the top of the sky again.

Clearly, the object of this sacrifice has been revealed: the Nether Horn God of the Ghost Horn Clan!

The only question is, can the carefree Celestial Venerable defeat and kill his opponent?
That's a powerful cultivator in the Mahayana stage who has lived for countless years. Even if you're no match for him, it would be difficult to stop him from escaping.

However, Taiyuan Tianzun spoke lightly, "Try to maintain the fusion between the Chaos Origin and the Xuanhuang Tower. If you can, then this old bone of mine might be able to step forward and lend a hand."

Li Qing's eyes widened; this was giving him far too much credit.

"Wait... Celestial Venerable, you wouldn't be relying on me as your backup plan, would you? This matter is of utmost importance, and I have no confidence whatsoever!"

Taiyuan Tianzun shook his head and said, "You're overthinking it, kid. Our real backup plan isn't this; we have another arrangement."
