Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1083 Late Fusion
After forging the Imperial Dragon Seal, Long Yi gifted the spatial law artifact to Li Qing. Although his Long family had an extremely profound foundation, it was not something that could truly give away various treasures related to the laws to others.

It was simply because Long Yi truly saw Li Qing's value: a weapon refiner capable of crafting heaven-reaching spiritual treasures was a rare find, even throughout the entire ancient history of the human race.

Even the Long family wouldn't put on airs like a true spiritual family; they would lower themselves to try and win over Li Qing. Even if they couldn't bring him into their family, they would still try to befriend him.

Who knows, the Long family might need his help to refine treasures in the future. Compared to Li Qing's value, a strange object formed from a spatial law, though precious, is actually nothing special.

Li Qing then stayed in Longyuan Village for a few more days, experiencing the warm hospitality of the villagers and making friends with many of the elders and senior members of the Long family. Finally, he insisted on leaving despite their repeated attempts to persuade him to stay.

“Fellow Daoist Wuji, you’re leaving too soon. My family’s patriarch will be emerging from seclusion soon. Why don’t you stay a few more days?” An old man in purple robes kept trying to persuade Li Qing to stay, his face showing an expression of regret for not having met sooner, and his eyes full of reluctance.

He is the eldest elder of the Long family and also one of Long Yi's uncles. He holds a very high position and his influence is second only to the head of the family.

However, Li Qing declined with a wry smile, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Elder, but I have other important matters to attend to and need to return to the Refining Heaven Pavilion."

"Fellow Daoists of the Long family, there's no need for you to stay any longer. We'll meet again in the future. I'll take my leave now!"

Having said all that, the eldest elder of the Long family no longer stood on ceremony to keep him. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Since that's the case, then I can't insist on keeping you any longer. Fellow Daoist Wuji, you should really visit my Long family often when you have time. Longyuan Village is always looking forward to your next visit!"

"Nephew Long Yi, why aren't you seeing off Fellow Daoist Wuji!"

Long Yi, dressed in a linen robe, walked out with a smile and said, "This way, please, Brother Wuji. Please forgive us for our poor hospitality."

"Fellow Daoist Long Yi is too kind. I had a very pleasant stay at the Long family this time. If I didn't have important matters to attend to, I would definitely have stayed longer. I haven't had enough of the scenery of the Dragon Realm yet!" Li Qing replied politely.

As for the other members of the Long family, they all bowed respectfully to Li Qing, clasped their hands in greeting, and said, "Respectfully seeing off Senior Wuji! Respectfully seeing off the young master!"

Amidst these respectful farewells, the two departed Dragon Realm and returned to Panlong City.

Long Yi escorted Li Qing onto the teleportation star array. Looking at Li Qing's figure, he said, "Brother Wuji, I will send you a message as soon as I succeed to the position of family head."

"Alright, then I'll wait for good news at the Refining Heaven Pavilion!" Li Qing waved his hand, his figure enveloped in teleportation light, and disappeared into the formation after speaking.

Long Yi returned to Longyuan Village. The elders of the Long family were still there, looking at Long Yi with satisfied expressions and saying:

"Young Master did a good job this time. A weapon refiner who can forge a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure is indeed someone we need to win over."

"Hmm, it's a pity that this person is unwilling to join my Long family as a guest elder. If we could get his help, my Long family would be even more prosperous in the future, and we would be able to remain safe no matter how great the turmoil is in the future."

"It's already very good. These weapon refiners are rare talents, one in a hundred generations. Naturally, they would not be willing to be bound or restrained in any way. It's enough to befriend them."

"Let him feel the sincerity of my Long family and maintain this relationship. We might need this person's help to refine the Heavenly Treasure in the future."

"."

After this experience, Long Yi's position in the Long family became even more secure. He not only obtained a powerful spiritual treasure that greatly increased his strength, but also demonstrated his ability to recognize talent. His position as the head of the family was now a foregone conclusion.

After leaving the Long family, Li Qing returned to the Refining Heaven Pavilion without stopping.

He used the teleportation array to arrive at Star River City, and once again used his extreme speed to return to the Wuji Palace in the shortest possible time. This time, he didn't say anything and immediately began his seclusion.

He sensed something during this trip; his bottleneck had loosened. With the help of the Creation Source Crystal, he was extremely confident that he could break through to the late stage of the Integration Realm in one go!
Holding several top-grade spirit stones in his hand, Li Qing carefully adjusted his breathing for several days, bringing himself to his peak condition, and then slowly exhaled a breath of fresh air.

"Phew! Time to begin!"

He muttered to himself, then mobilized the abundant and full magical power within his body, and began to strive towards the late stage of the Integration Realm.

The pure magical power transformed into surging, towering waves, crashing one after another against the bottleneck of the late-stage Fusion Realm. This seemingly insurmountable barrier finally began to falter.

Li Qing calmed his mind and concentrated all his energy on breaking through. He snapped his fingers, and a large number of spirit stones gushed out from the silver bracelet on his wrist.

Wow!
Spirit stones piled up into small mountains around him, and he used six rings of spiritual fire from his body to draw out the pure spiritual energy from these spirit stones.

Every moment, a vast tide of spiritual energy flowed into Li Qing's body. He pushed the Dao Tribulation Limitless Scripture to its limit, and the Six Paths Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire continuously assisted him in refining this enormous spiritual energy.

In the dim light, the spiritual energy transformed into six vortexes, pouring into Li Qing's body from different directions.

His aura began to rise steadily, advancing towards the late stage of the Fusion Realm.

Within Li Qing's body, the surging waves of magical power grew more and more intense, and the bottleneck was increasingly loosened by the impact.

Just then, Li Qing had a sudden thought and activated a ball of pure energy accumulated at the bottom of his dantian.

This is the power of creation he obtained by refining the Creation Source Crystal. It has been accumulating in his dantian for a long time, and it was prepared for this moment.

Under the guidance of his mind, the power of creation erupted, and the bottleneck of the late stage of the Fusion Realm suddenly became extremely fragile. Under Li Qing's persistent attacks, it finally collapsed completely.

In that instant, he finally stepped into the late stage of the Fusion Realm!

boom!
A fierce aura swept out from the Wuji Palace, and the powerful spiritual pressure swept across tens of thousands of miles, instantly clearing away the clouds under the sky.

All the disciples and elders in the Refining Heaven Pavilion felt as if they had been struck by a hammer, and suddenly trembled, looking at the source of this spiritual pressure with incredulous eyes.

This spiritual pressure is still getting stronger, as if it's about to pierce the sky, and it has already surpassed the scope of the ordinary late stage of the Fusion Realm!

But eventually, it all came to an end. After the aura within the Wuji Palace reached its peak, the spiritual pressure that had swept across thousands of miles slowly subsided, and the entire Liantian Pavilion returned to tranquility.

"Elder Wuji has advanced to the late stage of the Integration Realm?"

"When did cultivation become so easy? That's the Integration Stage! I remember that every step forward in that realm was incredibly difficult, and countless outstanding talents were stuck at the early Integration Stage."

"Elder Wuji's cultivation technique is of an extremely high level, but his rapid advancement must be due to some other fortuitous opportunity." "This is truly a cause for celebration! Elder Wuji's combat strength was already unparalleled before, and now he has advanced even further. I wonder just how powerful he will become now?"

"It seems that the position of the next Pavilion Master will definitely fall to Elder Wuji."

"I'm afraid the position of Pavilion Master is no longer attractive to Elder Wuji. With such a cultivation speed, he has entered the late stage of the Integration Realm so quickly, and he also has combat power that surpasses others of the same level. It is no exaggeration to say that he is on the verge of the Great Ascension Realm."

"."

The entire Refining Heaven Pavilion was in an uproar, and then disciples and elders flocked to the Wuji Hall to pay their respects.

"Congratulations to Elder Wuji on reaching the late stage of the Integration Realm!"

"Congratulations! Elder Wuji's Taoist skills have greatly improved, and he will surely attain the Mahayana stage in the future!"

"Congratulations, Elder Wuji."

Meanwhile, Li Qing was adjusting his breathing to consolidate his unstable magical power. This time, he had taken too big a step in breaking through with the help of the power of creation, which had caused his realm to become somewhat unstable.

Fortunately, he has a solid foundation and profound knowledge, so he only needs to consolidate his cultivation to recover, and there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Thank you all for your kindness, but I have just broken through and still need some time to consolidate my magical power, so it is inconvenient for me to come forward to receive you at this time."

"I hope you will all understand."

In this regard, who would dare to truly blame Li Qing for not giving face?

All the cultivators from the Refining Heaven Pavilion who had gathered near the Wuji Palace immediately clasped their fists in greeting again before dispersing, not daring to disturb Elder Wuji's quiet cultivation.

Li Qing repeatedly circulated his cultivation technique, while simultaneously using the spiritual fire of heaven and earth to refine his own true essence, continuously strengthening his foundation.

During the process, the dark purple jade cauldron hanging by his ear suddenly trembled: "You still have some pills on hand, plus a Spirit Connection and Dao Integration Pill, reaching the Perfection of the Integration Stage shouldn't be too much of a problem."

"Next, you should prepare for the breakthrough to the Mahayana stage. First, you need to collect some of the auxiliary materials for the Nascent Soul Solidification Pill. This pill can save you a lot of effort in the process of solidifying your Nascent Soul."

"Secondly, before you attempt to reach the Mahayana stage, I advise you to do your best to elevate your physical body and soul to their strongest level."

"Finally, there's the Great Ascension Tribulation and the extraterrestrial demons. With your cultivation of the Chaos Law, your Great Ascension Tribulation might be a bit over the top."

Hearing these words, Li Qing felt a surge of curiosity. He knew nothing about breaking through to the Mahayana stage, so he naturally wanted to find out more.

"May I ask, senior, why elevate your soul and physical body to their peak? And what is this extraterrestrial demon all about?"

Jade Spirit Venerable was once a top expert in the Mahayana stage. Being able to find out more relevant details will be of great benefit to his future breakthrough, so that he won't be completely clueless.

In fact, he could get the answers to these questions from the two human celestial beings in the palace later, but since there were already seniors available, he was too lazy to bother.

Yu Ji Lingzun didn't hide anything from Li Qing, and generously answered: "After you pass through the Great Ascension Tribulation, your physical body and soul will undergo a baptism of the Great Dao. This is the manifestation of your lifelong Dao fruition. At that time, your physical body and soul will be greatly improved."

"The cultivation of the physical body and the soul becomes increasingly difficult in the later stages, even more difficult than the cultivation of magical power. The stronger your physical body and soul are at that time, the better the effect of the Great Dao baptism will be."

"As for the extraterrestrial demons, didn't you encounter them when you broke through to the Integration stage?"

"Although the extraterrestrial demons encountered during the Integration Stage were relatively weak and could only create illusions to confuse those undergoing tribulation, they were still quite a troublesome problem."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing fell silent. He carefully recalled that when he broke through to the Integration Stage, he seemed to have never encountered any extraterrestrial demons!
Jade Spirit Venerable clicked his tongue and said, "You really do have a big secret. I sensed something was wrong when I faced the dragon's might in the Death Realm. Even the little dragon was drenched in sweat from the shock, but you seemed to be completely unaffected."

"I never expected that you wouldn't even encounter any extraterrestrial demons when you broke through to the Integration Stage. That's truly a remarkable story. If word gets out, I'm afraid quite a few old monsters will want to capture you and investigate your secrets."

In response, Li Qing naturally thought of his identity as the successor of the Demon Lord.

When he broke through to the Integration Stage, he did not encounter the illusion of the extraterrestrial demons, but he did suffer a chaotic divine lightning bolt and almost died. In fact, it was much more dangerous than the extraterrestrial demons.

If it weren't for the immortal technique "Chaos Seed Dao Scripture", he would probably have perished long ago.

Thinking back to his own sea of ​​consciousness, the Demon Lord's will became even more active, and Li Qing's heart sank.

He knew that his future attempt to reach the Mahayana stage would probably not be so simple, and he might encounter some unexpected things.

For a moment, Li Qing clenched his fists. He couldn't just sit and wait to die; he had to find out what was going on.

To understand all of this, besides investigating it yourself, you have to ask those who know about it.

Mysterious Heavenly Palace!

Li Qing let out a long breath, his face extremely solemn, feeling no joy whatsoever for breaking through to the late stage of the Integration Realm.

The Xuan Tian Immortal Palace comes from the True Immortal Realm, and there is also a remnant soul of an immortal in the palace. It must know everything about the Demon Lord's successor. He must find out why all this happened and what he will encounter when he tries to break through to the Mahayana stage.

Once he understood the situation, he could prepare accordingly. In short, he absolutely could not attempt to reach the Mahayana stage without any prior knowledge!

In addition, the Xuan Tian Immortal Palace had promised him that once he reached the Integration Stage, he could summon the Immortal Palace to descend once and receive a gift of the Immortal Palace's Chaos Origin.

Thinking of this, Li Qing's face darkened even more, feeling that all of this was just a cruel twist of fate.

"With my current abilities, I should be able to find a remote location to summon the Xuan Tian Immortal Palace."

"However, some preparations are still needed. First, let's try to refine the spatial law artifact given by Long Yi into the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings. If we can upgrade the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings into a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, then even if we encounter a Mahayana-stage being, we should have a chance to escape." Li Qing muttered to himself.
