Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1064 Famous Throughout the World
Upon receiving the message from the Refining Heaven Pavilion, all the Dao Palace elders present stood up abruptly, their faces filled with anxiety.

"Quickly, send the intelligence up!"

The secret report was quickly delivered to an elder, who immediately extended his divine sense to read the secret letter personally written by the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Refining Pavilion.

The others all looked worried. After a day, the news was likely bad news, and the worst-case scenario was that only the Pavilion Master of the Refining Heaven Pavilion would survive.

But soon, the elder's expression changed repeatedly as he read the secret message, first from tension and worry, then from astonishment and shock.

"Old Tao, what did Xiao Chen say in his letter? And why do you have that expression?"

"Yes, what was the outcome? Could it be that even the inheritance of the Refining Heaven Pavilion was taken away?"

"Stop being so mysterious! We should at least give you a straight answer about whether he's dead or alive!"

"."

The Daoist elder named Lao Tao murmured in shock, "Almost completely wiped out."

These words caused the entire room to fall into dead silence once again, and the faces of the other elders also darkened.

The Refining Heaven Pavilion is one of the most important forces under the Dao Palace. Over the years, it has maintained a high degree of autonomy and wields considerable influence.

If they were all wiped out and the lineage were completely severed, the loss would be far too great.

"How could this be? The Ten Thousand Soldiers Demon-Slaying Formation was personally set up by Master Gong."

"Yes, even with powerful protective formations, the Refining Heaven Pavilion couldn't last a single day?"

"Alas, it was our oversight. We thought that not mobilizing the Refining Heaven Pavilion's manpower was the best protection for them, but we did not expect the Ghost Horn Clan to be so cunning, directly crossing such a vast territory to launch a secret attack on the Refining Heaven Pavilion."

"Should have thought of that earlier"

However, Elder Tao shook his head and said, "No, you misunderstood me. I meant that the nineteen Ghost Horn Clan members who attacked the Refining Heaven Pavilion were almost completely wiped out. Only three escaped, and all of them were severely injured. They escaped by using the Ghost Shadow Escape Technique while on the verge of death."

Upon hearing these words, the other elders raised their eyebrows and looked at Elder Tao in disbelief.

Some elders even suspected that he had lost his mind, for he had said such a thing.

"Phew, I know you don't believe me, but that's what the news says. It's definitely Xiao Chen's aura, there's no mistake."

"Furthermore, he mentioned in the letter that the Ghost Horn Clan possesses a strange insect called the Purple Gold Spirit Devouring Insect, which can devour spiritual power of various natures. It was obtained from the Insect Clan by the Ghost Horn Clan's Yellow Spring Ghost Mother and is extremely useful for dealing with formations."

"The Ten Thousand Soldiers Demon Extermination Formation of the Refining Heaven Pavilion was broken by this insect. Now, Xiao Chen is asking us to send an array master to help him rearrange the formation as soon as possible."

Soon, the secret message was passed down one by one, and every Dao Palace elder present read it and then showed the same shock as Elder Tao.

"How is this possible? Nineteen Ghost Horn Clan members at the Integration Stage, including two who have reached the Perfection Stage, and several at the Late Integration Stage. How exactly did the Refining Heaven Pavilion manage to stop them?"

"Even if Xiao Chen cultivated to the perfection of the Integration Stage some time ago, it would still be difficult for him to defeat so many powerful members of the Ghost Horn Clan."

Unfortunately, the Pavilion Master of Liantian Pavilion did not mention this question in the secret message. He wanted to suppress Li Qing's reputation as much as possible, which was also a form of protection.

"I don't know. I'll send someone to the Refining Heaven Pavilion to check if this is true and to find out the specific details of the battle."

"Right now, we can't find any array master to help the Refining Heaven Pavilion rearrange the grand array. At present, the teleportation star arrays of various major cities all need maintenance, and no one can spare the time."

"If all else fails, let the people from the Refining Heaven Pavilion come to the Dao Palace to hide for a while. We're short-handed right now anyway."

And so, the news about the Refining Heaven Pavilion in the Dao Palace came to a temporary end.

Meanwhile, news of various events, both good and bad, were also coming from other parts of the human territory where war was raging.
For example, Feixian City, which had been in dire straits, was finally defended with the full support of the Dao Palace. Not only that, but it also broke the Ghost Horn Clan's offensive and annihilated tens of thousands of Ghost Horn Clan members, including many powerful beings at the Integration Stage.

"Terrible news! Danzhou City has been completely destroyed, along with its city lord and all the cultivators within. The Ghost Horn Clan slaughtered the entire city!"

Various reports have emerged, but overall, the large-scale attack by the Ghost Horned Clan has been greatly slowed down, and the human race has launched a counterattack.

Some of the previously fallen cities were gradually recaptured, but the cities were now scorched earth. The Ghost Horn Clan dug three feet into the ground, but not a single spirit stone was left.

As the war progressed to this stage, conquering cities and seizing territory was no longer the main theme. The two races began to fight decisive battles, with renowned warriors from both sides fighting to the death every day.

From the younger generation to the older generation of powerful figures, from the Nascent Soul stage to the Integration stage, numerous life-or-death battles take place every day.

This is absolutely a head-on collision of the fates of the two races, and the outcome of each decisive battle directly affects the rise or fall of the fates of the two races.

Among the younger generation, the one with the indestructible golden body from the Dao Palace is the most eye-catching. He has already reached the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, and his cultivation speed is incredibly fast. His combat power is also astonishing. He has killed seven Ghost Horn Clan members of the same level in a row, making him famous and resounding throughout the universe.

The magnificent achievements of the Undying Golden Body overshadowed the brilliance of others of his generation, and he vaguely exuded an aura of dominance over his contemporaries. Compared to him, everyone else seemed much dimmer.

However, the final battle at the Integration Stage level was less than satisfactory. The Ghost Horn Clan had indeed mobilized all of their elite forces, whose strength and methods were quite extraordinary.

Among them, the Ghost Horn Clan named Yuan Zhou is the most terrifying. Its cultivation is at the late stage of the Integration Realm, and it is hailed as an existence that will surely attain the Mahayana Realm. Its combat power is even considered to be comparable to the pure-blooded true spirit offspring of the same level.

Yuan Zhou's record was also quite brilliant. He fought four decisive battles in total, killing three human cultivators in the Integration stage, two of whom were Dao Palace elders. The only one who survived was thanks to taking the Yin-Yang Rejuvenation Pill, a life-saving holy medicine, in time.

"Now that things have come to this, why are those True Spirit Families all silent? Why don't they send out their Nascent Soul stage experts to fight against Yuan Zhou?!"

"The Dao Palace has already fought two battles, and two elders at the Integration Stage have both died. These True Spirit Families, who usually just bully others, don't dare to utter a single word now!"

"Hmph, those who only know how to bully others in their own territory will never amount to anything. No wonder no Celestial Venerable has been born for so many years."

"Which Celestial Venerable wasn't invincible in his youth, a figure who amazed the entire universe? The people of the True Spirit Clan are too cowardly; they don't even have the courage to fight."

There are also some opinions about the True Spirit Families within the human cultivation world. Some of the things said are quite harsh, and some even call these True Spirit Families bloodsuckers of the human race.

Of course, these words were only spoken in private; no one dared to openly and defy the Dao Zhenling family. For a time, even as the battle situation gradually became clearer, the atmosphere in the human cultivation world was extremely somber.

Ultimately, the outcome of this war is always determined by the top-tier powerhouses. If the battlefield at the top is not satisfactory, then even if the younger generation performs exceptionally well, it will be difficult for them to achieve anything significant.

If some powerful elders of the Ghost Horn Clan were to shamelessly attempt to eliminate those young prodigies prematurely, how would the Human Clan protect them?

Amidst this somber atmosphere, a shocking piece of news broke.

"Yuan Zhou has reappeared and is going to have a life-or-death battle with a sword cultivator from the Refining Heaven Pavilion!"

"Just before we defended Flying Immortal City, Yuan Zhou clearly stated that he wanted to fight a swordsman from the Refining Heaven Pavilion!"

"Aren't all the members of the Refining Heaven Pavilion weapon refiners? Why would Yuan Zhou challenge a sword cultivator?"

Soon, more accurate news spread throughout the world.

It turns out that not long ago, the Ghost Horn Clan sent a team of nineteen Nascent Soul stage experts to attack the Refining Heaven Pavilion, hoping to seize the human race's highest inheritance in weapon refining.

However, this very team, which brought together the elite forces of various tribes of the Ghost Horn Clan, was almost wiped out, with only three survivors managing to escape, but all of them were seriously injured and on the verge of death.

"It is said that a peerless swordsman has emerged from the Refining Heaven Pavilion. He used a sword formation to kill several members of the Ghost Horn Clan, severely damaging their morale. At this moment, the Ghost Horn Clan is in turmoil."

"Rumor has it that Yuan Zhou's younger brother was also in the group that attacked Lian Tian Ge, and was even killed by that sword cultivator himself."

"No wonder Yuan Zhou was so angry. So this is what happened. But who is that peerless swordsman who possesses such combat power?"

"I've never heard of any sword cultivator in the Refining Heaven Pavilion being so powerful before. Could it be the Pavilion Master? I remember the Pavilion Master isn't a sword cultivator either."

And so, Li Qing's reputation spread far and wide. Although his real name and Buddhist name were not revealed, he became the focus of attention.

Both humans and demon horns wanted to know who that peerless swordsman was who had achieved such terrifying feats.

Those few Ghost Horn Clan members who managed to escape after attacking the Refining Heaven Pavilion all spread rumors that he was a human cultivator with the appearance of a Heavenly Venerable, whose strength was astonishing and who had no rivals among those of the same realm.

When this assessment came from the enemy camp, the whole world was in an uproar.

Li Qing, the instigator of this matter, did not care about such empty fame. He was unaware of these things and naturally had no chance of leaving seclusion to meet the other party's challenge.

Of course, even if they knew, he wasn't very interested in such a decisive battle.

He is currently in seclusion in a newly excavated cave, recuperating and preparing to reach peak condition to forge the final Immortal-Slaying Sword.

Outside his cave dwelling, the Wuji Hall stood, where his disciples cultivated.

Now that Li Qing is going into seclusion, no one dares to disturb him. Since he displayed his astonishing combat power, his importance in the pavilion has become comparable to that of the pavilion master.

Inside the cave, Li Qing absorbed a mountain of high-grade spirit stones, and the mana he had consumed in the previous battle gradually returned to its peak.

He opened his eyes, and two beams of light shot out from his pupils.

"It's time to start forging the sword!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing let out a long breath, then snapped his fingers, and the spiritual materials he would need flew out.

Both of these priceless divine materials were obtained from the Ancient World of Myriad Treasures: Eternal Mithril and the Stone of the Northern Star Extreme Mountain!
He had personally refined both of these divine materials, further enhancing their spirituality, making them more than sufficient for crafting a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

boom!
The next moment, Li Qing activated all six Heavenly Spiritual Flames, the six-colored flames forming a ring of fire that gradually contracted and adhered to the two spiritual materials.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time he had refined raw spiritual materials into a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure in one go. In this process, he not only needed to refine the prototype of the treasure, but also had to integrate the laws into it.

The previous Immortal Slaughtering Sword was first refined to the peak of Earth-grade spiritual treasure, and then the laws were refined into it to bring out its Dao charm.

The Zhuxian Sword was forged from the Seven Wonders Immortal Tree, which inherently contained the power of laws. Over time, it was sculpted into a sword tree, and then Li Qing stimulated its Daoist essence, making its forging quite natural. It was almost indistinguishable from a naturally formed Tongtian spiritual treasure.

Therefore, he was quite serious and cautious in refining the Immortal-Slaying Sword this time. Fortunately, he had accumulated important experience in the Burning Flame Ancient Realm and participated in the refining of Chaos Treasures, so the refining of the Immortal-Slaying Sword this time did not seem rushed.

boom!
Under the relentless scorching of the six Heavenly Flames, the Stone of Beichen Extreme Mountain and the Eternal Mithril began to fuse together. The two completely different peerless spiritual materials were like two lumps of mud in Li Qing's hands, which could be kneaded at will.

His divine sense surged forth, carving the two peerless spiritual materials that had merged into a sword shape. The Eternal Mithril became the hilt, while the stone from the Northern Star Extreme Mountain became the blade.

Under Li Qing's superb crafting skills, the two spiritual materials truly merged, becoming one and completely transforming into the form of a sharp sword.

Amidst the six-colored flames, a silver-white sword could be clearly seen taking shape.

But this is only the initial stage of refinement. Next, he needs to continuously refine it so that it can withstand the power of the Law of Destruction without collapsing.

He opened his mouth and continuously spewed out streams of pure true essence, which merged into the sword.

The true essence cultivated using the Dao Tribulation Limitless Scripture inherently possesses the characteristic of bestowing transformation upon all things. He must repeatedly refine it with his own true essence to elevate the power of the laws that the sword body carries to its ultimate limit.

And so, time passed by, and several months had gone by in the blink of an eye.

Li Qing's magical power was almost exhausted, but fortunately he had the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk that the carefree Heavenly Venerable of the Burning Flame Ancient Realm had bestowed upon him. He had not yet finished drinking this spiritual milk, so he directly poured it into his mouth to restore his magical power to its peak.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword has already taken initial shape. The next step is to refine the Law of Destruction into it and then unleash the Daoist essence of the Law.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed the treasure of the cave with one hand, and it fell from his wrist and flew into the sky.

An aura of destruction rose from within the cave!
