Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1117 Resurgence of Will
Repression, endless repression.

After being swallowed by the Pixiu's essence, this was the only feeling Li Qing had; he felt that everything about him was melting and dissolving.

That's right, the Pixiu's essence was refining him. Having not eaten for countless years, Li Qing, who had come to him, was undoubtedly the best food.

Even if only instinct remains, it is still the origin of a Mahayana-stage true spirit, extremely powerful.

Li Qing felt his power slowly draining away, and his consciousness fell into a daze. He didn't even want to resist the power that was slowly refining him.

dong dong!dong dong!
In the darkness, only the sound of a heartbeat gradually slowing down remained.

This place seemed like a gentle haven perfect for peaceful sleep. He just wanted to drift off to sleep, oblivious to everything else, and rest forever inside the Pixiu's belly.

There wasn't even a thought of resistance; it seemed like everything was going to end like this.

"Kid, wake up! You're about to be refined by the Pixiu!"

"Stop standing there in a daze. If you delay any longer, you're really going to die here."

Yu Ji Lingzun was also getting anxious. She watched from the perspective of an outsider as Li Qing gradually sank into the belly of the Pixiu, seemingly trying to assimilate with it, without reacting at all.

If this continues, she will die here too. After Li Qing is refined, it will be her turn next.

"This is it, that damned old devil Wanbao. He's been dead for so many years and I still have to be tricked by him. He's a damned bastard."

At this moment, Yu Ji Lingzun was also helpless. She could only try her best to wake up Li Qing, constantly touching his sea of ​​consciousness with her divine sense and attacking him to awaken his self-awareness.

However, Li Qing remained unmoved by the repeated impacts; his eyes gradually lost their luster and slowly closed.

At this moment, Yu Ji Lingzun was also in complete despair. There was really no hope now. She would be buried in the belly of the Pixiu along with Li Qing.

"Damn it, how could I fall in a place like this? I had already found a way to get rid of the spirit body and reshape my human body, but I didn't even try it once."

"I was too greedy and reckless. I shouldn't have brought him here. With his talent and my assistance, he had a 30% chance of advancing to the Mahayana stage. Now it's all for nothing."

Just when she was in despair, suddenly, Li Qing, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them.

boom!
A will that seemed to crush all the heavens and myriad worlds awakened, and even the Heavenly Dao seemed to retreat in the face of this will.

Li Qing's eyes had become extremely unfamiliar at this moment, his pupils filled with indifference, a gaze that had seen through countless ages, as if nothing in the world could move him.

The Pixiu that was refining him instinctively felt a sense of fear and extreme danger. Even though only a trace of its original essence remained, the Pixiu knew that it seemed to have swallowed something it shouldn't have.

The Pixiu opened its mouth, as if to spit out Li Qing, whom it had swallowed.

The Pixiu spewing out wealth is truly a rare occurrence throughout history.

But it was too late. Inside the Pixiu's belly, Li Qing's pupils emitted a kaleidoscope-like pattern. Then the kaleidoscope began to spin, and the vast true spiritual essence was actually absorbed into his pupils.

This is a reverse refining of the Pixiu, it's simply unbelievable. Such a method amazed Yu Ji Lingzun, who was watching all this.

Before long, the essence of the Pixiu was completely integrated into Li Qing's body, and the originally oppressive dark environment was instantly restored to clarity.

"Boy, how did you do that? You actually refined the essence of the Pixiu in reverse?! Even a reincarnated true immortal might not be able to do that, right?" Jade Spirit Venerable exclaimed in surprise.

'Li Qing' did not answer her, but instead took off the small dark purple jade cauldron hanging from her ear, as if she were removing an earring pendant.

He examined the small cauldron, his indifferent gaze devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

After a short while, he finally spoke, "An unlucky fellow who was refined into a weapon spirit, he was able to awaken ahead of schedule this time thanks to you."

This extremely unfamiliar tone stunned Yu Ji Lingzun. At this moment, Li Qing seemed to have completely changed. Even though his appearance had not changed, the look in his eyes proved that the person in front of her was no longer the Li Qing she knew.

"You're not that kid Li Qing? Who are you?!"

Upon hearing this question, 'Li Qing' did not respond. Instead, he looked up at this strange space. His gaze seemed to pierce through endless distances and landed on a supreme realm, the ultimate place that countless beings throughout the ages had longed to ascend to—the True Immortal Realm!
After a short while, he withdrew his gaze and looked again at the small, dark purple jade cauldron he held between his fingers, saying in a detached tone, "Who I am is not important. Let's make a deal."

"Make sure this kid advances to the Mahayana stage as soon as possible. Afterwards, I will help you break free of the spirit body and reshape your human form."

Now it was Jade Spirit Venerable's turn to be confused. She was somewhat unsure of what the current situation was. It seemed somewhat like possession, but not quite.

"Didn't you already take over this kid's body? What do you mean by that?" Jade Spirit Venerable couldn't help but ask.

'Li Qing' responded, 'It's not possession; to be precise, it's symbiosis.'

"Time is running out, remember what I said."

As soon as he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and the scenery around him rippled outwards.

In the blink of an eye, 'Li Qing' arrived in a brand new world. Looking at the mountains and rivers of this world, his eyes, which had seen countless vicissitudes of time, softened and were filled with a touch of nostalgia.

"home."

He murmured as if reminiscing, then waved his hand towards the void. A boundary marker rose from a corner of this world and landed in his palm.

After stroking the town boundary marker with his hand as if reminiscing about it, he put it back.

The next moment, he took a step forward, and the mountains and rivers reversed beneath his feet. In an instant, he arrived at a flower field, where all kinds of colorful flowers grew. Some were not yet in bloom, while others were already in full bloom.

Jade Spirit Venerable dared not disturb his refined enjoyment and observed everything with trepidation.

Not long after, 'Li Qing' closed his eyes again and lay down in the fragrant flower field.

A moment later, Li Qing stood up again, this time with a blank look in his eyes, looking around at the scene, completely unaware of what had happened.

"Where am I? Where is the Pixiu's origin?" As he spoke, Li Qing's divine sense expanded, taking in all the scenery of the surrounding area into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The polar night world?! He's arrived in the polar night world!

At this moment, his memory was still stuck on the Pixiu opening its mouth and swallowing him whole; he had no idea what happened afterward.

"Boy, you're awake?" Jade Spirit Lord asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing quickly asked, "Senior, what exactly happened just now? How did I suddenly come to this world from inside the Pixiu's belly? And how could the Pixiu's essence have already been refined into my body?" After speaking, Li Qing slowly closed his mouth, and his face gradually turned pale.

Needless to say, he had basically guessed most of it.

"Is it that one who has been resurrected?" Li Qing seemed to have lost all his strength. This lost memory was clearly the one that the Demon Lord experienced through his body.

These memories all became fragments of the Demon Lord's memories, sealed within his sea of ​​consciousness. He could understand them clearly simply by going through them, just as he had done in the past when he had looked through the Demon Lord's memories from an observer's perspective.

“Just now, you really seemed like a different person. I don’t know how to describe it, you were just very unfamiliar. I’d like to ask you about the specifics,” said Jade Spirit Venerable.

With things having come to this point, Li Qing had no desire to explain anything further.

The Demon Lord's resurrection is drawing ever closer. The fact that he had fallen into a deep sleep inside the Pixiu's belly became the opportunity for the Demon Lord to awaken ahead of schedule.

Even though that will has once again fallen into slumber in his sea of ​​consciousness, in the not-too-distant future, he will eventually have to truly face all of this.

Li Qing composed himself, and then with a slight thought, the world around him vanished, and he returned to the peculiar space where the Pixiu devoured wealth.

However, since the essence of the Pixiu had already been refined into his body, this space no longer had the ability to be sealed. A pitch-black crack tore open, and everything that had been swallowed inside was spat out.

boom!
In the Ancient Dragon Realm, in the Sea of ​​Stars, a spectacular sea eruption occurred, with millions of hectares of seawater transforming into a towering tsunami that surged into the sky.

Li Qing's figure was also mixed in with the seawater.

He activated his Wind and Thunder Silver Wings, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the void. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the cave of the Dragon Blood Crocodile.

At this moment, the Dragonblood Crocodile was still under the control of the Deceptive Serpent Eyes. His eyes turned into a pair of dark golden vertical pupils, and a nine-headed serpent briefly appeared.

The Dragonblood Crocodile seemed to wake from a dream, completely unaware of what had just happened. His memory was still stuck on the part where he brought Li Qing back to the cave, and after that, it was a blank.

"Senior, these spiritual fruits are my collection. I wonder if you are satisfied with the taste?"

Six days had passed, and they were about to leave the Ancient Dragon Realm, but Li Qing's mind was not on it at all.

He casually waved his hand, closed his eyes, and carefully experienced the changes within himself.

The true spiritual essence had already been refined into his body. Although he had not yet completely refined it, he could already feel the infinite benefits that the true spiritual essence brought him.

His foundation was now as solid as it could possibly be. Any minor flaws left over from his past cultivation had been completely corrected. His Daoist arts had reached perfection, and every realm was flawless and without any imperfections!

Previously, the Mahayana stage was like an insurmountable chasm to him, but now that chasm has been largely filled, and he seems to be only one step away from the pinnacle of the mortal realm.

His nascent soul was integrated into his body, and his essence, energy, and spirit remained at an extremely high level.

This is the true source of the spirit at work; his cultivation, magical power, physical body, blood and qi, and soul have all received extremely abundant nourishment.

The Mahayana period is not far off.

Li Qing sighed, stood up, and left the cave of the Dragon Blood Crocodile without saying a word.

One day later, at the foot of the ancient sacred mountain.

Dressed in a linen robe, Long Yi, full of vigor, slowly descended, a bright smile on his face, seemingly having made quite a haul.

"We've kept you waiting, Brother Wuji. Let's go now."

"Hmm." Li Qing nodded absentmindedly and followed Long Yi into the void, leaving the Ancient Dragon Realm.

The Spirit Realm, Tianyuan Continent.

With a deafening roar, the several passages connecting to the Demon Realm in the center of the Tianyuan Continent slowly merged together.

Boom!

A vast void battlefield appeared before them, with the Spirit Realm at one end and the Demon Realm at the other!
The battlefield between the two worlds appeared, quite a few years earlier than expected.

However, both sides were already prepared and had set up their positions, guarding their respective sides of the interface.

This void battlefield is far too vast; it could easily accommodate multiple Mahayana-stage supreme beings for a decisive battle!
"Woo-woo~!" A melodious horn sounded from the forces of the Spirit Realm, played by a powerful member of the Beast Clan, the Wild Bull Clan.

Just hearing the horn sound sent a surge of heat through all the beings in the spirit realm, their fighting spirit boiling.

Meanwhile, on the demon side, war drums were being beaten. A powerful member of the Demon Hand Clan released his ghost hand and beat a huge demon drum with all his might.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The rhythmic drumbeats resounded, and boundless primordial demonic energy rippled from the demon realm.

boom!
A fist that blotted out the sky slammed out from the spirit realm, causing the void battlefield to tremble.

A powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage from the Spirit Realm took the initiative, attempting to probe how many Mahayana stage experts had arrived from the Demon Realm.

"Hey, which old ghost is so eager to die? Step forward, and I, your ancestor, will grant your wish!"

A wild, demonic voice rang out, followed by a jet-black blade of light that slashed out and instantly shattered the incoming fist imprint.

Before long, a huge figure wearing a cloak appeared on the other side of the demon realm.

"You demon scum of the War Ghost Clan, today I will tear you apart with my bare hands!" A Heavenly Demon burst forth from the Spirit Realm. This was a Mahayana powerhouse of the Heavenly Demon Clan. His demonic aura swept over them in a mighty torrent, even subtly suppressing the primordial demonic energy surging from the Demon Realm.

The two powerful cultivators at the Mahayana stage immediately engaged in an epic battle, fiercely clashing in this void battlefield.

Meanwhile, the forces on both sides below also moved, with demonic war beasts surging out with immense momentum, charging towards the camp on one side of the spirit realm.

"Kill! Slay all the demon scum! Restore peace and order to the Spirit Realm!"

The powerful figures from all races on the Tianyuan Continent also formed imposing teams, arrayed their forces, and charged forward.

This war between the two worlds has finally reached its climax!
