Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1096 The Sword Formation is Complete
Inside the Refining Heaven Pavilion and the Wuji Hall.

A fragrant aroma of medicinal pills wafted out, followed by a surge of rich spiritual energy that rapidly converged into the hall.

But this commotion didn't last long, and everything returned to calm. This was because someone used powerful magic to conceal the intense fluctuations of the completed pill.

Inside the hall, Li Qing was holding a round and plump pill between his fingertips. The pill was pure white, perfect and without any flaws. One could even believe it was a pearl.

But Li Qing understood that this was not some pearl, but a peerless treasure pill that could help solidify the nascent soul when breaking through to the Mahayana stage—the Nascent Soul Solidification Pill!

"When I advance to the Mahayana stage in the future, as long as I swallow this pill, I can skip the step of solidifying my nascent soul and focus all my attention on breaking through the barrier." Li Qing murmured to himself, then carefully put away this peerless treasure pill.

He gained a lot from this seclusion. In addition to obtaining a Nascent Soul Pill, he also finally completed his cultivation of the Dharma Form.

That's right, he has already achieved the initial stage of cultivating the Chaotic Azure Lotus Form, and he has gained another trump card.

In addition, during his seclusion, he vaguely sensed that he was not far from reaching the perfect level of the Integration Stage.

"Phew, time truly flies when you're cultivating. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

As he spoke, Li Qing slowly walked out of his secluded meditation room. He sensed a spiritual message hanging outside, but because he didn't dare disturb Li Qing's secluded cultivation, the message wasn't sent inside.

Stepping out of his secluded meditation room, Li Qing leisurely opened the letter and slowly began to read its contents.

After reading it, a flame ignited at his fingertips, burning the letter to ashes.

"In just a short time of seclusion, such a big thing has happened outside. The various races have actually formed an alliance to jointly resist the invasion of the Demon Realm."

"It's really a bit childish for allies to have inter-tribal competitions and exchanges."

"The reward is indeed quite tempting. If we can win the championship, not to mention the prizes from the other races, the lotus seed that the Three-Eyed Sacred Clan offered is unimaginably valuable. They even brought out immortal medicine."

The letter was sent by the Dao Palace, expressing their strong desire for Li Qing to represent the human race in this competition with other races, and to help Taiyuan Tianzun obtain the immortal lotus seed that could replenish his depleted essence.

To be honest, he wasn't really that interested in the immortal lotus seed, since he already had two unknown flame immortal fruits that he had obtained from the Myriad Treasures Ancient Realm.

"The Celestial Venerables have made great contributions to the human race, and I am able to cultivate peacefully among the human race to this day thanks to the existence of the two Celestial Venerables."

"I have received some favors from the Dao Palace in the past. If it weren't for the Dao Palace, I'm afraid I would still be worrying about the cultivation method I practice."

Li Qing muttered to himself, having already made up his mind to participate in this inter-race competition and do his best to win the immortal lotus seed for Taiyuan Tianzun, so that Taiyuan Tianzun could live for nearly ten thousand more years.

If he is to break through to the Mahayana stage in the future, he will be able to enjoy the protection of two Heavenly Venerables. Therefore, he should attend this competition.

Of course, there are still about twelve years before this grand competition between the various races, so Li Qing still has time to make some preparations, such as refining the last killing sword into a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, so as to completely perfect the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!
And so, Li Qing began another short period of seclusion, this time intending to refine weapons.

"This weapon forging wasn't difficult. The Trapping Immortal Sword was originally a Grade Earth Spiritual Treasure. After being nurtured in my dantian for so many years, it has now reached the peak of Grade Earth Spiritual Treasure."

"Next, all we need to do is follow the steps and refine the Law of Wind into it!"

With that, Li Qing summoned the Immortal Trapping Sword!

A strange purple light flickered continuously. This killing sword seemed to be sentient, as if it knew what was about to happen, and its blade was trembling slightly on its own.

Seeing this, Li Qing chuckled and shook his head, saying, "I've really wronged you. You're clearly the second killing sword to be born, yet you're the last to be promoted to a Heavenly Treasure. No wonder you're in such a hurry."

As if in response to Li Qing's words, the Immortal-Trapping Sword trembled a few more times, and a clear sword cry resounded.

"Look how impatient you are! Let's get started now!"

Li Qing is quite confident now. His weapon-refining skills have truly reached their peak. Upgrading the Immortal-Trapping Sword to a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure is not a difficult task for him.

After he finished speaking, Li Qing summoned a perfectly intact cyan rune.

boom!
In an instant, a strong wind arose inside the Wuji Palace, and an unnamed gale swept through the area surrounding the palace.

This fragment of the Wind Law's rune is extremely complete, hence its power is also extremely astonishing. Even if it has been subdued, it will still cause strange phenomena in the surrounding world on its own.

The next moment, Li Qing's face was extremely solemn. He pointed out with one finger, forcing the rune fragment of the wind law into the Immortal Trapping Sword.

As the two drew closer, the originally purple Immortal-Trapping Sword now appeared to be coated with a layer of cyan film, its entire blade constantly shifting between cyan and purple.

It's unclear how much time has passed, but Li Qing finally refined the Law of Wind into the Immortal Trapping Sword. At this moment, the sword body presents a peculiar bluish-purple color and looks quite unstable.

But for Li Qing, this was an extremely simple matter. His pure true essence surged forth and flowed into the Immortal Trapping Sword. He then began to harmonize it using a weapon-refining secret method recorded in the "Refining Heaven Scripture".

"Back to basics!"

Li Qing let out a low roar, and with two fingers of his right hand together, he pointed towards the Immortal-Trapping Sword.

Sonorous!

The power of laws that had been refined into the killing sword finally calmed down, as if it had been harmonized and become perfectly balanced.

At this moment, the bluish-purple color on the surface of the sword stabilized. Li Qing chuckled as he saw this, for the final moment had finally arrived.

"It's ready. Just as I thought, the Law of Wind is indeed extremely compatible with the Immortal Trapping Sword, and can easily resonate with its Daoist rhythm."

As he spoke, he flicked the hilt of the Immortal-Trapping Sword three times with his fingertips, and in the next instant, the entire killing sword shone with a bright blue light!
boom!
An unnamed wind arose between heaven and earth, and thick dark clouds gathered above the Wuji Palace. Lightning flashed intermittently in the clouds, and the terrifying power shocked all the cultivators in the Liantian Pavilion.

Of course, the people in the Refining Heaven Pavilion were already somewhat numb from the shock, only knowing that Elder Wuji had once again refined a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure!

Rumble!
A streak of bluish-purple light flashed out, and beneath the tribulation clouds, sword shadows appeared in layers, each with a gentle breeze flowing over its surface.

The tribulation of the spiritual treasure came quickly and went quickly. The Immortal Trapping Sword transformed into thousands of sword shadows in an instant, easily passing through the tribulation with the power of the wind law. It was perfected through the tribulation and became a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure!

The entire sword-forging process took about seven years, shorter than Li Qing had anticipated.

"A bold idea I conceived in the mortal realm has now been fully realized!" "The Four Swords of Zhuxian are all heaven-reaching spiritual treasures. Combined with the Killing Array Diagram, I will be invincible below the Mahayana stage!"

Li Qing held the newly completed Immortal Trapping Sword horizontally in one hand, his two fingers slowly stroking the blade, his expression one of utter satisfaction.

"Alright, it's time to exit the pass!"

As he spoke, he walked out of his secluded meditation room, where several disciples, who had been awakened by the commotion of the spiritual treasure tribulation, had been waiting for a long time.

"Congratulations, Master, on acquiring another Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure!"

Li Qing glanced at his disciples and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, it seems that you have not slacked off in your cultivation over the years. But then again, you have been my disciples for so long, but I haven't answered your questions much."

"Since I have some free time today, I'll explain some things about cultivation to you!"

The disciples' eyes lit up, and they said gratefully, "Thank you, Master!"

And so, the group sat down around Li Qing, their posture impeccable and their faces full of anticipation.

With Li Qing's current cultivation level, guiding these disciples was more than enough. He started from the fundamentals of cultivation, explaining the essentials of cultivation at each stage, and also explained the scriptures from the Nascent Soul stage to the Void Refinement stage according to his own cultivation method.

His current level of understanding is too high. He had only just begun to speak when he had already captivated the disciples, who were completely absorbed in the story and unable to concentrate.

After about half a day, Li Qing finally came to a stop.

The disciples seemed to awaken from a dream, their expressions showing a lingering sense of enjoyment. They wished they could listen to his sermons and teachings indefinitely, as this was far easier than their usual solitary practice and contemplation.

Li Qing said with a smile, "What one cultivates in the Dao is ultimately one's own Great Dao. These are my experiences and insights from my journey. They may not be suitable for you. This level of explanation is enough. Beyond that, you need to experience it for yourselves. Only in this way can you be grounded in reality!"

"Alright, if you still have any doubts or questions about the cultivation techniques you practice, feel free to ask, and I will answer them one by one."

After another round of questions and answers, Li Qing slowly stood up, ending his sermon.

"That's settled then. I have some important matters to attend to and must leave the Refining Heaven Pavilion. If you have nothing urgent to attend to, you may stay in the hall and cultivate."

The disciples' eyes lit up, and they asked, "Master, are you going to participate in the inter-clan competition?"

“Indeed, the Heavenly Venerable Taiyuan has made great contributions to our human race. If we can seize that Immortal Lotus Seed, the pressure on the human race in the future will be much less,” Li Qing nodded and said.

"As expected, I knew that the Dao Palace would definitely invite Master. The spiritual letter sent a few years ago was a request for Master to participate in the inter-clan competition!"

May Master's immortal destiny prosper!

"."

With his disciple's blessing, Li Qing chuckled and flew out of the Wuji Palace, then transformed into a silver streak of light that traversed the horizon.

After leaving the Refining Heaven Pavilion, Li Qing did not rush to the Dao Palace, but leisurely enjoyed the magnificent scenery along the way.

He flew leisurely to the site where several foreign Mahayana cultivators and human Celestial Venerables had fought several years ago. The earth here had completely collapsed, and shocking cracks were everywhere.

"Even the surrounding spiritual energy is extremely thin; the power of the Mahayana stage is truly terrifying."

Li Qing muttered to himself, sensing the lingering power of this place. It was a level truly at the pinnacle of humanity, and even after so many years, it had not completely dissipated, leaving him deeply moved.

Even though he now considers himself invincible at the Integration Stage, he still felt a chill run down his spine after sensing the residual power of the Mahayana Stage.

"Once you reach the Mahayana stage, will you truly be able to control your own destiny?" Li Qing couldn't help but ask himself, but he still had no idea.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, the dormant will was becoming more and more active, destined to awaken in the future. What would happen then, he was still uncertain.

Perhaps when he reaches the Mahayana stage, his fate will come to an end.

Li Qing sighed, shaking these pessimistic thoughts out of his mind, and left the place.

He continued to travel the world, concealing his identity and cultivation, and experiencing all the beauty of the human world.

At this moment, the most talked-about topic in the human cultivation world is naturally the upcoming inter-race competition, which concerns a single immortal lotus seed. Even a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage would be extremely tempted by it.

Of course, human cultivators were very pessimistic about this, because the geniuses of other races were too powerful.

"I'm afraid other races have no hope, not even my human race. The outcome will likely be decided between the Golden Crow Clan and the Three-Eyed Sacred Clan."

"The Heavenly Eye Immortal Pupil is an extremely remarkable talent even among the Three-Eyed Sacred Clan. The last member of the Three-Eyed Sacred Clan to open the Heavenly Eye Immortal Pupil has already attained enlightenment and ascended to become a carefree True Immortal in the Upper Realm."

"It's a pity that the Yin Body of my human race has not yet fully developed, so we cannot compete with it."

"The Golden Crow Clan is quite remarkable. Although most of them are descendants with impure bloodlines, I heard that this time a Golden Crow with almost ancestral blood has emerged, with Golden Crow true blood accounting for more than 90% of his body. He is destined to achieve enlightenment in the future!"

"Nine-tenths of his blood is true essence; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a true spirit, would it?"

Upon hearing this news, Li Qing was not particularly moved; instead, he was eagerly anticipating his encounter with these peerless geniuses.

Now that his Dharma form is in its initial stages and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is complete, only such an opponent is worthy of letting him test the true power of his Dao techniques.

"The title of the strongest below the Mahayana stage, huh? Interesting." Li Qing chuckled, his figure transforming into a streak of silver light once more.

This time, he went directly to the Dao Palace. With the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings, the long distance was only a short while away.

Before long, Li Qing arrived at the celestial palace in the clouds, and he shouted loudly:
"I am Wuji from the Refining Heaven Pavilion, here to pay my respects to the Dao Palace!"

Li Qing's voice, as powerful as thunder, resounded throughout the entire Dao Palace.

Soon, several figures with refined auras flew out from the Dao Palace. These Dao Palace elders immediately came to greet Li Qing with joyful expressions.
