Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1057 Mid-stage of Fusion
After returning to the Refining Heaven Pavilion, Li Qing once again began a deep period of seclusion.

This time, he will take the Dao Integration Pill and the Spirit Seizing Pill in his possession to break through to the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, and at the same time, he will completely refine the other three killing swords into Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures.

In addition, comprehending the laws of chaos with the help of the Chaos Spiritual Gold bestowed by the Celestial Venerable of Freedom is also a very important matter. The progress of comprehending the laws directly determines the upper limit of combat power in the Integration Stage.

The war between the humans and the beastmen has been initially quelled, but the next challenge is the demon horn race, an even more powerful race.

Although the two races have formed an alliance to deal with the Ghost Horn Clan, the war that is about to break out will definitely be more intense, and it is hard to say what will happen in the future. Therefore, Li Qing has a strong sense of urgency to improve his strength and cultivation.

In addition, he promised Jade Spirit Venerable that he would refine a Heavenly Mystery Gu for her after she advanced to the Mahayana stage in the future. In return, the latter would do her best to help him break through to that realm.

This is quite important for Li Qing. With the strong support of a powerful expert who was once at the Mahayana stage, his chances of advancing to the Mahayana stage in the future will be much greater.

"Let's start cultivating first. Once we break through to the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, our efficiency in refining treasures will increase significantly."

"I wonder how the Spirit-Seizing Pill bestowed by the Celestial Venerable compares to the Dao-Merging Pill. I've heard that its medicinal power is somewhat weaker and not as good as the Dao-Merging Pill."

As he spoke, Li Qing took out the white jade porcelain bottle he had obtained in the Free and Unfettered Cave, and took out a grayish pill, about the size of a thumb.

Without saying a word, Li Qing swallowed the Spirit-Seizing Pill.

hum!
The medicinal effects instantly spread throughout his body, and Li Qing's magical power, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly increased.

Immediately, he activated the Dao Tribulation Limitless Scripture, while simultaneously using the Six Paths Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire within his body to refine the immense medicinal power.

After a long while, Li Qing slowly opened his eyes, and his magical power had clearly increased.

"It is somewhat inferior to the Dao Integration Pill, and it contains relatively more impurities, but it is still a very rare and precious pill."

"I possess the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, and my physical body and blood are extremely vigorous, so I am not afraid of these poisonous impurities."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing entered a deep state of cultivation, swallowing one Spirit-Seizing Pill after another without any intention of stopping.

And so, time flew by, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The entire Tianyuan Continent is now in turmoil, with various races making unusual moves and the situation extremely unsettled.

The main reason is that the changes in the ranking of the Myriad Races Dao Stele have attracted the attention of too many powerful figures. Many insightful powerful figures have guessed that the Chaos Treasure newly added to the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking was most likely forged by the human race. Otherwise, how could its ranking have increased so quickly?
However, the cultivation world of the human race was unexpectedly peaceful. In two years, everyone digested the surprise that the human race was now the ninth largest in the Tianyuan Continent, and at the same time accepted the peace talks and alliance with the Beast Fang Clan.

The Ghost Horn Clan, however, was surprisingly patient. They had thought that the clan would immediately declare war on the human race after the death of one of their Mahayana-stage ancestors, but they had managed to endure it!

The power of a Chaos Treasure was simply too great, forcing the Ghost Horn Clan to swallow their anger.

With the alliance between the human race and the beast-tooth race, the ghost-horned race was even less willing to declare war, as if they were making some kind of preparation.

The human race is naturally happy to enter a period of peace. After all, the human race is now ranked ninth, and it would be best if they could avoid unnecessary war.

However, the Beast Fang Clan, which had already fallen out of the top ten, could no longer sit still. An ancestor of this clan, who had reached the Mahayana stage, came to visit the human race and directly descended into the Dao Palace to discuss matters with the two Heavenly Venerables for many days.

The ancestor of the Beast Fang Clan who came to visit the human race was Ancestor Cangya. The decaying aura emanating from him was even more intense, and it was as if half of his body was about to disintegrate.

“Xiaoyao, Taiyuan, I know that you two have reservations and are unwilling to start a war lightly.”

"But you need to know one fact: the death of the Ghost Horn Clan's Nether Horn God in the Burning Flame Ancient Realm is inextricably linked to the two of you. You don't really think that the Ghost Horn Clan will swallow this insult, do you?"

"The Ghost Horn Clan hasn't declared war yet, but I think they're making preparations. I heard some time ago that the Yellow Spring Ghost Mother went to visit the Insect Clan and the Three-Eyed Holy Clan!"

Upon hearing this, both human celestial beings showed solemn expressions.

That Yellow Springs Ghost Mother was the most powerful ancestor of the Ghost Horn Clan, with a cultivation level of mid-stage Mahayana, surpassing them all.

Both the Three-Eyed Sacred Clan and the Insect Clan are ranked among the top three races on the Myriad Races Dao Stele. The Insect Clan is a collection of various powerful spirit insect races. Within its clan is an Insect Queen known as the Mother of All Insects, whose strength is extremely powerful and is the pinnacle of this world.

The Yellow Springs Ghost Mother's visit to these two clans was certainly not to seek out old friends or acquaintances.

Ancestor Cangya added fuel to the fire, saying, "Once the Ghost Horn Clan reaches some kind of trade agreement with those two clans, then the Ghost Horn Clan will be the one to declare war on our two clans!"

"Even if you manage to forge a Chaos Treasure, you will likely still find it difficult to protect yourselves."

After a moment of silence, Xiaoyao Tianzun and Taiyuan Tianzun slowly spoke again: "Fellow Daoist Cangya, we are certainly not such short-sighted people."

"In fact, even if you hadn't come, we were planning to go to the Beast Fang Clan to find you. However, completely pacifying the Ghost Horn Clan is probably not something that can be done overnight."

"Besides, even if we really wipe out the Ghost Horn Clan, how will we divide the benefits between our two clans? They're a piece of meat that's oozing with fat."

Hearing the two Celestial Venerables' coordinated attack, Ancestor Cangya frowned and sighed:

"You two know that this war cannot be won overnight. Isn't it too early to discuss this now? Can't we discuss it later?"

"Moreover, I'm afraid I won't live for many more years. Even if I promise you a share of the profits now, what will happen if I perish in the future?"

That makes sense. The two human celestial beings did not discuss it further. As long as they had the Chaos Profound Yellow Tower, the initiative would always be in their hands.

"Well, since we're going to deal with the Ghost Horn Clan, we naturally need to have some serious discussions about it," said the Grand Venerable Taiyuan calmly and unhurriedly.

However, Ancestor Cangya frowned and said, "What's the point of discussion? Why don't our two clans just declare war on the Ghost Horn Clan and then send troops to attack them?"

The carefree Celestial Venerable shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that's not appropriate. The Ghost Horn Clan is located in the far northwest of the Tianyuan Continent, which is far away from our two clans. We would have to cross the Great Wilderness to get there, and I'm afraid there would be many problems along the way."

"Moreover, there are two forbidden areas in the territory of the Ghost Horn Clan: the Nine Nether Yellow Spring Waterfall and the Ten Thousand Corpse Burial Ridge. If you or I accidentally wander into them, we might face a great danger."

Ancestor Cangya was quite dissatisfied with the two Celestial Venerables' timidity. He said directly, "Then what do you suggest? If we wait a few more years, I'm afraid I'll pass away. It's better to make the most of my remaining life while I'm still alive."

The carefree Celestial Venerable revealed a smile and said, "Then I'll have to ask Fellow Daoist Cangya to die ahead of time!"

The ancestor Cangya was taken aback, and asked unhappily, "What do you mean by that? Wait, you mean?"

"That's right, that's what we plan to do."

Several days later, Ancestor Cangya left the Dao Palace, his face showing apprehension and lingering fear.

The two human celestial beings were cunning enough to make him admit defeat. "It's fortunate that my race didn't continue to be enemies with the human race, otherwise it would have been troublesome. This scheme is truly the work of two shrewd and calculating people."

And just like that, a year or so passed in the blink of an eye.

Throughout the year, the Beast Fang Clan continuously sent envoys to the Human Clan, trying to persuade them to join forces with the Beast Fang Clan in attacking the Ghost Horn Clan.

However, the Dao Palace repeatedly evaded the matter, and finally even directly declared to the outside world that as long as the Ghost Horn Clan did not take the initiative to declare war on the Beast Fang Clan, the human race would absolutely not pay any attention to it.

Suddenly, the relationship between the two clans, which had seemed to be on the verge of a honeymoon, turned quite cold.

In response, the Beast Fang Clan began to condemn the human race for their lack of integrity, expressing their indignation and wishing they could wage war against the human race again.

However, under the suppression of the higher-ups, this anger was restrained, and the Beast Fang Clan did not take any impulsive actions.

The human race was also relieved, thinking that it would be best if they didn't have to fight anymore. It was good to be able to sit firmly in the ninth position of the Myriad Races Dao Stele. Nobody wanted to fight and kill.

"These bastards from the Beast Fang Clan are really rude. Fellow Daoists exploring the Great Wilderness should be careful. If you encounter the Beast Fang Clan, be sure not to get into a conflict with them."

"Hmph, such a rude attitude! If I were the Celestial Venerable, I would have severed the alliance directly!"

"That's right. Now it's the Beast Fang Clan that needs our human race's help, yet they don't even bother to be respectful."

"We should just leave them to their own devices. It's not that easy to wage a war against the Oni Horned Clan."

"."

Two more years passed in this tense and cold atmosphere between the two groups.

In the past two years, the Beast Fang Clan has given up sending envoys to the Human Clan, seemingly abandoning their attempts to establish a war alliance.

The tense situation suddenly became extremely calm, and all the races on the Tianyuan Continent seemed to have returned to peace.

But in this atmosphere, a shocking piece of news suddenly came from the Beast Fang Clan.

Their clan's patriarch, Cangya, is about to perish. His vital energy and blood are depleted to the extreme, his body is decaying, and his time is drawing near.

In an instant, the entire Beast Fang Clan was plunged into panic and mourning.

Despite the clan's desperate attempts to suppress the matter and keep the secret, the news inevitably leaked out and spread throughout the Tianyuan Continent.

The human race, however, was quite pleased with this, and many cultivators even cheered with joy.

"Heh, serves them right. Those bastards from the Beast Fang Clan cursed my human race every day, and now they're reaping the bitter fruit of their actions."

"That Ancestor Cangya is the oldest ancestor of the Beast Fang Clan. He suffered great damage to his vital energy during the last Great Heavenly Tribulation, so it is normal that his lifespan is coming to an end now."

"He's about to pass away. I'm afraid this Ancestor Cangya might do something rash."

Within the human race, some were relieved, while others felt fearful and uneasy, worried that the Cangya Ancestor might hold a grudge against the human race and engage in a mutual destruction with the two Celestial Venerables, which would be a serious problem.

"It shouldn't be that bad, after all, the two races are officially allied. If we did that, it would be tantamount to completely tearing off the mask of friendship!"

Fortunately, such a thing did not happen. The old ancestor Cangya seemed to have accepted his fate. During this time, his mentality became much more peaceful. He searched everywhere for a suitable place to transform into a Dao cultivator, and at the same time, he left behind his legacy within the clan.

It seems that this matter will pass smoothly, and the Tianyuan Continent will likely enter a long period of peace in the future.

Inside the Refining Heaven Pavilion, Li Qing's cultivation had reached a critical stage. He had already consumed the entire bottle of Spirit-Seizing Pills bestowed upon him by the Carefree Heavenly Venerable, far surpassing the other Venerables who had also received Spirit-Seizing Pills.

"The effects of the Spirit-Seizing Pill are getting weaker and weaker. Although I have the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire to help me refine it, I am only close to the mid-stage of the Integration Realm now."

"As expected, we still need to use the Dao Integration Pill to break through this remaining bottleneck!"

After saying this, Li Qing took out another pill, but this time it was a Dao Integration Pill.

He closed his eyes and swallowed the Dao Integration Pill without expression.

boom!
The immense medicinal power exploded within his body once more. He skillfully circulated his cultivation technique, while simultaneously using the spiritual fire of heaven and earth to refine the medicinal power within his body.

Soon, the thick barrier that was originally in the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm began to loosen, and he was about to break through this bottleneck.

Two days, three days, five days.
On the ninth day, within the Wuji Palace, a powerful aura soared into the sky, and a vast spiritual pressure spread out, enveloping the entire Liantian Pavilion.

Li Qing has made a breakthrough; he has successfully entered the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm!

This speed of cultivation is undeniably fast. You must know that the other Supreme Elders in the Refining Heaven Pavilion wasted many years in the early stage of the Integration Realm, while he has already reached a higher level in less than a thousand years.

Almost at the same time, another equally powerful aura emanated from another part of the Refining Heaven Pavilion.

Some of the Supreme Elders have also successfully broken through to the mid-stage of the Integration Realm!
As if sensing something, Li Qing laughed loudly, circulated his internal energy to calm the unstable aura within his body, and then flew up, gazing into the distance towards another location of the Refining Heaven Pavilion.

"Hahaha, congratulations Elder Xingluo! Now that you've broken through your bottleneck, you have nothing to worry about!" Li Qing laughed and said.

The Supreme Elder who broke through was none other than Elder Xingluo. With the help of the Spirit-Seizing Pill bestowed by the Heavenly Venerable, he also stepped into the mid-stage of the Integration Realm.

Elder Xingluo: "Elder Wuji, you flatter me. Compared to you, what are my achievements?"

"Although I have been fortunate enough to enter the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, the path to the Great Dao is still long. I'm afraid I will have to trouble you again with the matter of helping me refine pills."

Li Qing was in a good mood and, knowing that the other party was referring to helping with alchemy, he readily agreed.

"No problem, no problem. It's the same as what we discussed before. Just come find me when the time comes."

The Dao Integration Pill is a very useful pill, and it still has considerable effects even in the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm. Elder Xingluo naturally planned to refine a batch for his future cultivation.

After breaking through to the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, Li Qing didn't rush to leave seclusion. Instead, he continued to cultivate in seclusion to consolidate his realm while also considering which killing sword to forge next.
