Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1124 Entering the Dao Palace
After the great battle subsided, Li Qing's gaze swept over the countless human cultivators who were bowing and paying homage to him. Looking at the devastated land, he sighed softly in his heart.

The next moment, he formed hand seals, activated the Chaos Dao Technique, and used his own chaotic power to reshape this world.

hum!
In an instant, the cracked earth gradually closed up, and the bottomless pits were restored.

After advancing to the Mahayana stage, Li Qing was already able to use the Chaos Dao to create the world. If he wanted, he could even evolve chaos to create a small interface and repair this land after the great war. That would be nothing.

The countless human cultivators present were all shocked by the supreme divine power and magic of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable. The world that had been invaded by the demonic energy of the Demon Realm had been restored and had become vibrant again!

Having done all this, Li Qing didn't linger and flew towards the heavens amidst the admiring and fervent gazes of the crowd.

His first stop was Panlong City. Even without using the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings, he arrived at such a distant place in the blink of an eye.

For beings in the Mahayana stage, distance itself is never a problem.

Li Qing did not conceal his aura too much, but released a little spiritual pressure. In an instant, all the cultivators in Panlong City could sense the vast and abyss-like aura and pressure.

In an instant, everyone knew that the Supreme Celestial Venerable had descended!
"Greetings, Supreme Celestial Venerable!"

Before long, figures flew out of Panlong City, and all the high-ranking members of the direct line of the Long family came out of the city to pay their respects to the newly promoted Heavenly Venerable of the human race.

"Greetings, Venerable Wuji!"

Seeing this, Li Qing then restrained his spiritual pressure and chuckled, "Everyone, there's no need to be so formal. I am not an ungrateful person. I was able to successfully advance to the Mahayana stage thanks to the Long family's assistance in summoning a true dragon from the Ancient Dragon Realm. Otherwise, I might have really been in grave danger this time."

"If the Long family needs any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

This is a favor personally acknowledged by a Great Ascension Celestial Venerable, and its weight is immense. As long as Li Qing is still alive, the Long family will be able to stand tall among the human race for another day!
Upon hearing this, all the senior elders of the Long family nodded excitedly and expressed their gratitude.

Of course, some elders were a little uneasy. Using the family's resources for such a big deal naturally had some objections. However, as the head of the family, Long Yi suppressed these objections and forcibly summoned a true dragon to descend into the world.

Soon, several more figures flew out from within the Dragon Realm.

"Master, I miss you so much!"

"Congratulations, Master, on your great progress in cultivation and your attainment of the Great Vehicle!"

"."

Li Qing's four apprentices flew out with great joy. Looking at that familiar, tall figure, tears welled up in their eyes, both moved and happy.

Behind his disciples, Long Yi, dressed in a linen robe, flew out with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, congratulations Brother Li on successfully advancing to the Mahayana stage! In the future, our human race will depend on you for shelter and protection!"

Hearing this, Li Qing's smile became even brighter, and he said, "I was able to advance to the Mahayana stage thanks to Brother Long."

"If you ever plan to attempt a breakthrough in the future, just let me know, and I will protect you!"

Long Yi naturally wouldn't refuse. The combat power that Li Qing displayed after his breakthrough was unmatched by even a True Spirit of the same level. He killed three foreign Mahayana cultivators as soon as he achieved Dao, making him a Mahayana powerhouse of unparalleled brilliance, surpassing all others throughout history. Even in the entire Spirit Realm, there are few Mahayana beings with such dazzling achievements as him!
"Haha, I'm relieved to hear that. I hope the day I have to trouble you won't be too late."

After exchanging pleasantries, the senior members of the Long family tried their best to persuade Li Qing to visit Longyuan Village, but Li Qing shook his head and declined.

"It's not that I'm putting on airs, but I have a lot of things to do and I really don't have time to spare."

"Gentlemen, I shall take my leave now!"

With that, he waved his hand, engulfing his disciples in his escape light, which flew straight into the sky.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Supreme Celestial!" All the elders of the Long family bowed their heads and clasped their hands in farewell.

For his second stop, Li Qing went directly to the Feng family, where he brought four disciples to Fengxia City.

Before he could even reveal his aura, a group of high-ranking members of the Feng family had already been waiting outside the Feng family mansion for a long time.

"Greetings, Supreme Celestial Venerable!"

Li Qing nodded and casually raised his hand, causing all the Feng family members who had been bowing to straighten up again.

"Please, everyone, there's no need for such formalities. I've brought a few disciples here to express my gratitude. If the Feng family hadn't summoned the Heavenly Phoenix to their aid in time, my two unworthy disciples would likely be in grave danger."

"You lot, hurry up and thank Patriarch Su."

Li Qiyin and the other three all bowed respectfully to the Feng family.

"Young friends, please don't stand on ceremony. You are all disciples of the Heavenly Venerable, and your future achievements are limitless. My Feng family also hopes to leave more capable and independent strongmen for the future human race." The usually reserved and prudent Feng family head couldn't suppress his smile today, and his eyes revealed a smug and triumphant look.

Regardless, the Feng family definitely made the right bet this time, and the favor they did was done before Li Qing even achieved enlightenment, so the value of that favor is immense.

"If the Celestial Venerable Wuji doesn't mind, would you do me the honor of coming into the mansion for a short while?" the Feng family patriarch invited.

This time, Li Qing did not refuse. He nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you!"

The Feng family received Li Qing and his four disciples with the highest level of courtesy, and all sorts of precious items that are rarely seen in the outside world were presented to them.

During the banquet, Li Qing looked at Su Ling and Su Yin and said with a light smile, "My two fairies, if you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Su Yin smiled and raised her cup to Li Qing, saying, "Brother Wuji, you are now a Celestial Venerable, and we will naturally need your help in the future. My sister and I are also very curious about the Mahayana stage."

Su Ling, looking somewhat awkward, stammered, "Congratulations on successfully advancing to the Mahayana stage. Please forgive me if I offended you in the past."

When they first met in Flying Immortal City, Su Ling teased Li Qing, saying that his vision of becoming a Venerable was too ambitious and difficult to achieve, and that he was being unrealistic.

The two crossed paths several more times afterward. Su Ling's attitude towards Li Qing wasn't exactly friendly, but Li Qing understood that it was just that she was a bit arrogant, so why would she care about such a small thing?

"Fairy Su Ling is too kind. These are just trivial matters and not worth offending. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to come to the Dao Palace to find me."

As he spoke, he took out a natal jade tablet, upon which was imprinted with his aura, and directly gave away this item, which could be considered a celestial talisman. Su Ling naturally did not refuse; she bit her lower lip and accepted it with an extremely complicated expression.

"Thank you, I will cherish it."

Seeing this, the head of the Feng family said nothing more. She understood that Li Qing's actions were a veiled expression of his intention not to take a concubine.

Now that Li Qing is a Celestial Venerable in the Mahayana stage, who in the world can force him to do something he doesn't want to do?
At this point, although the Feng family had managed to latch onto Li Qing, there was no possibility of their relationship progressing any further.

After lingering in the Feng family's immortal abode for a while, Li Qing left again with several disciples.

He didn't go to any more True Spirit Clans after that, but went directly to the Dao Palace.

Looking at the Heavenly Palace in the clouds ahead, Li Qing was filled with emotion. This was not his first time visiting the Dao Palace, but this time he was here as a Heavenly Venerable of the Human Race.

As a Celestial Venerable, he was naturally qualified to take charge of the Dao Palace. All the elders of the Dao Palace looked at the tall figure slowly descending with excitement.

"Welcome, Supreme Celestial Venerable!"

Looking at the elders of the Dao Palace, Li Qing smiled and nodded, saying, "Please, everyone, no need for formalities. I will be giving a sermon at the Dao Palace in six days, spreading the Dao throughout the world. I will need your help in making the arrangements."

"No trouble, no trouble!"

"We will do our utmost to handle the task entrusted to us by the Heavenly Venerable; how could we possibly find it troublesome!"

"Please rest assured, Heavenly Venerable, we will handle this matter properly!"

"."

The first thing to do upon entering the Dao Palace is to leave a stone statue of oneself in the main hall. From ancient times to the present, only human celestial beings have been allowed to do this.

When he first studied the Book of Time, he also underwent a test in the main hall, facing the oppressive aura emanating from more than a dozen celestial statues. Now, he too will leave behind his own statue.

Upon entering the main hall and gazing at the dozen or so magnificent stone statues of various shapes, Li Qing no longer needed any other means this time. He could easily withstand the waves of oppressive aura on his own, and his expression remained relaxed and at ease.

Before long, he waved his hand, and the power of the Chaos Law surged from his palm. Then he grabbed a handful of gray soil.

With a slight thought, the power of chaos merged with the dust and ash, quickly transforming into his image: a sculpture of a tall and imposing figure wearing a loose blue Taoist robe.

After it took shape, waves of aura-like pressure emanated from it, as if facing the Limitless Celestial Venerable directly.

"The Nascent Soul stage cultivators who will come to study the Book of Time in the future are probably in for a tough time. The Heart Refining Trial in the main hall is quite challenging." A smile appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

Immediately, his gaze swept over the dozen or so magnificent stone statues in the main hall. They were all renowned Mahayana Celestial Venerables from various eras in human history, and now he was able to stand alongside these predecessors.

After doing all this, Li Qing turned and left the main hall.

The second thing is to open up our own cave heaven in the Dao Palace. The location of the Dao Palace is actually very special. It is located in the center of the human race's territory, but it is also connected to various places in the outer void. It is as if it is anchored in this area. The location is very carefully chosen.

The Xiaoyao Cave Heaven and Taiyuan Cave Heaven, which Li Qing had previously visited, were both cave heavens that the two Heavenly Venerables had created by anchoring the void beacon in the void with the power of this Heavenly Palace.

This was no challenge for him. Li Qing arrived above the Dao Palace, and his powerful divine sense reached out, directly controlling the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy).

He used the Dao Palace to anchor the beacon, and then suddenly pierced through the void with his own power of the Chaos Law.

Boom!

A hazy, chaotic space was initially created. Li Qing stepped out and entered this hazy space, using the power of chaos to evolve all things in the world, carrying out the creation of heaven and earth.

Before long, a small, ethereal world gradually took shape, with a gushing spring, lush trees rising from the ground, and several beautiful mountain peaks standing tall.

The entrance to this space connects to a courtyard within the Dao Palace. From this day forward, this will be his grotto-heaven, and it will be called the Limitless Grotto-Heaven.

His disciples could also cultivate inside in the future. There was no need to worry about insufficient spiritual energy in this cave. After it was connected to the Dao Palace, pure spiritual energy was continuously poured in.

"So that's how it is. The entire Dao Palace is actually connected to all the spiritual veins of the entire human race's territory. It truly is a case of 'a single hair can move the whole body,'" Li Qing exclaimed.

After that, Li Qing brought his disciples into the Wuji Cave Heaven and gave each of them a token that allowed them to enter and exit freely.

From this day forward, the status of his disciples among the human race also rose dramatically. Although their cultivation was not yet at the Integration stage, they became disciples of the Heavenly Venerable, a prestigious position comparable to that of the Dao Palace Elders and the leaders of various major forces.

After giving a brief explanation, Li Qing began to recuperate in the Wuji Cave Heaven, recovering the true essence that had not been fully replenished in the previous battle.

He then began to experience a series of changes in himself after reaching the Mahayana stage.

"No wonder that after reaching the Mahayana stage, one can easily kill cultivators in the Integration stage. The difference is really too great."

"I was so arrogant back then, thinking that after absorbing the true spirit essence, I could barely exchange a few blows with a Mahayana stage expert. I'm so glad I didn't make a fool of myself."

There was no way around it; Li Qing's foundation was simply too solid. After advancing to the Mahayana stage, his strength experienced an explosive growth.

His physical body, soul, and magical power have all reached an unimaginable level. In addition, his Chaos Dao has also undergone a transformation. Even though he has only recently entered the Mahayana stage, his combat power is enough to make him look down on many beings of the same level.

Soon, Li Qing closed his eyes, and his nascent soul stepped out of his physical body.

The next moment, his nascent soul tore through the void and rushed directly towards the heavens.

Boom boom!

The biting winds from beyond the nine heavens were so strong that even cultivators at the Integration stage would suffer severe physical damage here, but for Li Qing's current Nascent Soul, it was nothing at all.

He soared through the void with his nascent soul, traversing one dazzling celestial star after another, which was truly exhilarating.
