Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1082 Imperial Dragon Seal

Li Qing and Long Yi eventually escaped the Death Realm. Thanks to the sealed black dragon corpse, the two powerful beings at the Mahayana stage were distracted and did not pay much attention to the fact that two human cultivators at the Integration stage had escaped.

Compared to the skeleton of a real dragon, their appeal was far too small to be worth mentioning.

Just after they escaped the realm of death, an earth-shattering battle broke out, with the ancestor of the Holy Whale Clan clashing with a mysterious powerhouse who was also at the Mahayana stage.

The two, who were already far from the brink of death, were still filled with lingering fear. If they had been a step later, they might have been caught in the crossfire and would have truly met their demise.

The two returned to the ancient path in the void and flew at top speed in the direction they had come from, not daring to stop at all.

By this time, Long Yi's magical power had recovered somewhat, so Li Qing no longer needed to help him escape.

"This is incredibly dangerous. The spiritual awareness of beings at this level is far too acute. Even the slightest abnormal fluctuation in the void will attract their attention," Long Yi exclaimed.

Li Qing also breathed a slight sigh of relief, agreeing with what the other party said; beings at that level could not be judged by ordinary standards.

"The remains of that Black Flame Sacred Dragon were given away so cheaply to other powerful figures. Doesn't your Long family feel that this is a huge loss?" Li Qing asked curiously.

However, Long Yi shook his head and said, "My Long family cannot digest such a great opportunity. We never thought we could actually obtain a complete dragon skeleton."

"Moreover, that is a seal set up by the laws of space. Even a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage might not be able to break it. In the end, it might even attract the attention of the true dragons of the Ancient Dragon Realm."

"It is already quite an achievement to obtain even a piece of black dragon horn, and I am already satisfied."

This mindset made Li Qing nod in approval. It was truly remarkable that a family with such a long history could possess such understanding.

"Let's hurry back. I want to see the moment the Imperial Dragon Seal is completed!" Long Yi said with anticipation.

Li Qing nodded. He also wanted to hurry back to refine the treasure and then go back to seclusion. He didn't know if it was because of the Demon Lord's will briefly revived or for some other reason, but he felt that his bottleneck had loosened slightly and he could try to break through to the late stage of the Fusion Realm.

This is the last bottleneck in the Integration Stage. After breaking through it, he can cultivate step by step to the perfection of the Integration Stage and then prepare for the advancement to the Mahayana Stage.

And so, the two who had embarked on the ancient path of the void did not stop for a moment, and rushed at full speed toward the secret realm where the Long family was located.

Upon returning to Longyuan Village, Li Qing was arranged to meditate in a cave filled with spiritual energy, while Long Yi began running errands for the Long family.

The incident in the Death Realm was significant, and Long Yi needed to inform the entire family's leadership, prohibiting all elders from going there in the near future.

While his father, Long Xudao, was in seclusion for many years, Long Yi was the head of the family. Now, all that's left for him to officially take over as the head of the Long family is a formal succession ceremony.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. When Li Qing had adjusted himself to his peak condition, Long Yi came to visit.

Long Yi clasped his hands in greeting outside Li Qing's cave and said, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, have you been resting well these past few days? I have finished dealing with the affairs of my family. When can we begin refining the Imperial Dragon Seal?"

"Yes, I've made all the preparations, and we can begin now!" Li Qing walked out of the cave.

"Very well, then please follow me. There is a special place for refining treasures within my Dragon Realm!"

Led by Long Yi, Li Qing arrived at the western area of ​​Dragon Realm, where there was a volcano that was stirring within. Just by getting close, one could feel the restlessness inside the volcano.

Li Qing narrowed his eyes, noticing that the fire-attribute spiritual energy in the air was somewhat unusual and unusually active, even the heaven and earth spiritual fire within his body was subtly affected.

He followed Long Yi up to the crater and looked down. At the very bottom of the volcano, in the sea of ​​crimson lava, a pure lotus flower took root and swayed gently with the heat waves.

Some kind of elixir?

wrong!

Almost instantly, Li Qing rejected the answer. He felt that the six spiritual fires of heaven and earth within his body were also subtly stirring.

The cultivation technique he was practicing now was no longer the "Crimson Blaze Heaven-Burning Technique," so he could no longer sense the spiritual fire in the surrounding world through the technique. However, after seeing the holy lotus flower with his own eyes, he quickly realized what was happening.

This is a spiritual fire of heaven and earth!
"This is... the Pure World Sacred Flame? Your Long family actually sealed a celestial fire here. No wonder the fire-attribute spiritual energy spewing from this volcano is so restless," Li Qing said with slight surprise.

Long Yi chuckled and said, "My family's direct descendants have always been refining treasures here. This Heaven and Earth Spiritual Flame was left behind by an ancestor of our family before he passed away. He declared that no one in the family should refine or subdue this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Flame for their own use. Thus, this Pure World Sacred Flame has remained within the family."

“Brother Wuji, I know you possess more than one spiritual flame, but you should not covet this Purifying Demon Flame. At most, we can only use its flame to refine treasures.”

Li Qing shook his head and laughed, "Fellow Daoist Long Yi is joking. I was just marveling at the profound foundation of your Long family. You've left such an unclaimed spiritual fire of heaven and earth unattended for so many years, only to use it to refine treasures. It's truly a waste of resources."

"Hehe, it's just an ancestral precept. We, the descendants, will naturally abide by it."

As he spoke, Long Yi took out all the spiritual materials needed for this treasure refining.

One piece of Crimson Sun Jade, one Dragon Crystal Stone, one piece of Origin Heaven Spirit Gold, and one section of Black Dragon Horn as the main material!

Each one is a top-grade spiritual material, especially that piece of black dragon horn, which surpasses ordinary materials for refining Heavenly Treasures and is extremely precious!
Li Qing accepted all these top-quality spiritual materials one by one and immediately began refining them without saying a word.

His expression was solemn as he channeled pure magical power into the spiritual materials.

At the same time, he fully demonstrated the profound meaning of the first volume of the "Refining Heaven Scripture". Each of the four spiritual materials was enveloped by his magic power, and he repeatedly refined them in order to improve the quality of these spiritual materials as much as possible.

Of course, these spiritual materials are all top-tier materials. Even with repeated refining, he could only improve their quality slightly. In particular, the section of black dragon horn had hardly changed, except that it had become more active than when he first obtained it, and the broken part had become much smoother.

“It’s time to set things off, Brother Long Yi!” Li Qing said.

Snapped!
Long Yi snapped his fingers, helping Li Qing break the seal at the bottom of the volcano. The Pure World Sacred Flame below erupted instantly, having accumulated a large amount of flames after being suppressed for so many years.

However, thanks to Li Qing's superb fire control skills, these unclaimed spiritual flames posed no threat to him whatsoever. He could now be considered the ancestor of fire manipulation.

In an instant, Li Qing suppressed the platinum flames, then condensed them into a furnace, and subsequently threw all the spiritual materials into it one by one.

Immediately afterwards, the forge formed from the platinum-gold flames began to shrink, completely enveloping the four spiritual materials. Long Yi, watching all this, revealed a look of amazement in his eyes. Li Qing's fire control technique was truly magnificent, like a pleasing performance.

Li Qing, on the other hand, was focused on the refining process. He was completely absorbed in it, constantly sensing the changes in the various spiritual materials in the furnace.

The first to melt was the Origin Heaven Spirit Gold. He pointed out and incorporated the melted spirit gold liquid into the surface of the Crimson Sun Essence Jade, allowing both spiritual materials to undergo the tempering of the World-Purifying Sacred Flame together.

Immediately afterward, the dragon crystal was covered in cracks and exploded in the next instant, causing quite a commotion.

Li Qing had anticipated this. He pressed his hand down in the void, and his vast magical power completely suppressed the fluctuation. All the shattered dragon crystal fragments were embedded into the piece of Crimson Sun Jade.

Finally, there was the dragon horn, the horn of the Black Flame Sacred Dragon. Even the spiritual fire of heaven and earth could hardly burn it. For this reason, Li Qing used several unique weapon-refining techniques in succession, and even used his own spiritual fire of heaven and earth to refine it in turn.

Finally, a layer of black powder fell off this section of the black dragon horn, and the entire horn gradually softened.

The entire process lasted seven days and seven nights. Li Qing, who had been focused on refining the treasure, suddenly had a glint in his eyes, as if he had seized an opportunity, and immediately injected more than a dozen streams of spiritual energy into the void.

Rumble!
More and more Pure World Sacred Flames were erupting from the bottom of the volcano, but Li Qing calmly and methodically began to refine the Black Dragon Horn and the Crimson Sun Essence Jade that had fused the two spiritual materials.

Li Qing was multitasking. The softened black dragon horn had been transformed into a small black dragon under his refinement. As for the Crimson Sun Jade, it had been transformed into the shape of a jade seal, square with a recessed cavity at the top.

"combine!"

Li Qing gave a low shout, and the little black dragon formed from the dragon horn let out a dragon roar, followed by a wave of fire law ripples spreading outwards.

This horn originated from the Black Flame Sacred Dragon, so it naturally possesses the power of the law of fire. Li Qing's weapon-refining skills were superb, and he actually activated this law before it was completely refined into a spiritual treasure, causing it to resonate and produce a Daoist charm.

The black dragon seemed to come alive, and under Li Qing's control, it charged directly at the jade seal that had already taken shape. In the end, the black dragon coiled up in the jade seal, and the two became one.

At that very moment, the black dragon jade seal activated its Daoist aura, and waves of law power spread out like ripples.

The magical artifact has taken shape!
However, it still needs to be nurtured. Li Qing's refining method was a bit too violent, almost damaging the spiritual treasure itself. Long Yi, who was watching from the side, was terrified, fearing that Li Qing's mistake would cause the spiritual treasure to explode.

"Brother Wuji, you are truly skilled and daring." Long Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, not knowing whether it was from being frightened or from the heat.

Li Qing did not reply. He continuously nurtured the black dragon jade seal with the Pure World Sacred Flame, while also meticulously carving it. Intricate patterns emerged, highlighting the black dragon above the seal and making it appear extremely grand.

Thirty-six days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Daoist aura on the surface of this black dragon jade seal was fully activated, with a faint dragon's might emanating from it.

Seeing this, Long Yi's eyes lit up. He knew that the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure he wanted was about to be forged!
Li Qing, however, spoke up: "Brother Long Yi, take a drop of your essence blood and inject it into it. Only dragon blood can fully activate the dragon's might of this jade seal!"

“Okay!” Long Yi readily agreed. With more than 50% dragon blood flowing through his body, he could naturally achieve the same effect.

He forced a drop of blood from his fingertip and flicked it directly into the Black Dragon Jade Seal. A bloodstain appeared instantly and then disappeared again.

The next moment, the entire Black Dragon Jade Seal came to life.

"Roar!"

The roar of the dragon shook the heavens and the earth. The pitch-black jade seal soared into the sky, and layers of dark clouds gathered, with terrifying calamity light appearing and disappearing.

A calamity has befallen Lingbao!

Rumble!
The earth-shaking thunder crashed down, and the Imperial Dragon Seal charged directly into the tribulation clouds, churning endlessly in the sea of ​​lightning like a dragon's head.

Li Qing closed his eyes and calmed his mind to regulate his breathing. This time, the treasure refining process was indeed quite costly, mainly because he used many of his unique weapon refining techniques in order to save time, which consumed too much of his true essence.

As for this tribulation of spiritual treasures, the Imperial Dragon Seal can easily overcome it. After all, it is a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure made with a true dragon horn as the main material, and there is absolutely no possibility that it cannot overcome the tribulation of spiritual treasures.

Long Yi, on the other hand, was filled with worry, fearing that the heavenly lightning would shatter his treasure. At this moment, two true dragons were fighting in the tribulation clouds, one a lightning dragon formed from lightning, and the other a black dragon formed from the Imperial Dragon Seal.

This calamity lasted for seven days and seven nights, and finally ended as the booming thunder faded away.

[Successfully crafted the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure: Dragon-Controlling Seal, reward: 6,000 years of lifespan!]

As the notification of increased lifespan appeared, Li Qing let out a long breath and reopened his eyes.

The Imperial Dragon Seal flew back through the air and landed in Long Yi's hand. He had just refined a drop of his essence blood into it, and now he and the Imperial Dragon Seal were able to communicate with each other.

"What a treasure! It's truly an unparalleled gem!" Long Yi's eyes gleamed with desire as he stroked the lifelike dragon atop the Imperial Dragon Seal, feeling the jade's texture.

This powerful spiritual treasure is incredibly potent. He had only just acquired it, yet he was already certain that it could be used to control a high-level formation, and his Nine Dragons Fire Formation could finally be completed.

Seeing Li Qing stand up, Long Yi took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Li Qing, and clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "I am so grateful to Brother Wuji for enabling me to obtain this treasure today. Thank you!"

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Long Yi, there's no need for that. It was already agreed upon beforehand. I was just doing my best," Li Qing replied with a smile.

Long Yi pondered for a while, as if he had made a decision, and took out a silver gourd from his person.

"I will bestow this wondrous object formed from the laws of space upon Brother Wuji. In the future, after I succeed to the position of family head, I will also take you to the Ancient Dragon Realm!" he said solemnly.

Li Qing raised an eyebrow and said with considerable interest, "I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate. After all, we had already agreed on the compensation beforehand, and Fellow Daoist Long Yi suddenly raised the price. I'm really embarrassed."

"Of course, if you insist, I will have no choice but to accept."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing put the small silver gourd formed from the spatial law into his hand. He had already witnessed its power in the Death Realm and was certain that it was a rare artifact of the law.

With this item, he can refine the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings into a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure in the future. At that time, he will be able to travel through space, traverse the void, and wander among the myriad worlds without any problem.
