Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1143 Long Yi Breaks Through the Barrier
Time flies, and another century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Because of the impending opening of the Lingxiao Immortal Realm, many powerful cultivators at the Mahayana stage have descended upon the Tianyuan Continent from other continents or beyond the Spirit Realm in the past hundred years.

Looking across all the heavens and myriad realms, the entire Lingxiao Immortal Realm is one of the most important opportunities. If one gains something from it, one might be able to attain immortality through it!

Even though the Spirit Realm has existed for over a million years without any legends of ascension, these beings in the Mahayana stage still harbor a desire to enter the Lingxiao Immortal Realm and give it a shot.

The Tianyuan Continent today absolutely deserves to be called the central continent of the Spirit Realm. The number of Mahayana stage experts who have gathered here is an astonishing figure; it is no exaggeration to say that there are now over a hundred Mahayana stage experts on the Tianyuan Continent!

During these hundred years, the human race's situation has remained stable and improved. With two Mahayana-stage Celestial Venerables in charge, external enemies have not dared to easily invade.

The presence of Li Qing, in particular, is incredibly reassuring. The title of Wuji Tianzun resounds throughout the universe and is renowned throughout the world.

At this moment, within the Boundless Cave Heaven, Li Qing was fully immersed in the study of the Chaos Treasure. He painstakingly comprehended the "Refining Heaven Scripture," and on several occasions, he borrowed the Chaos Profound Yellow Pagoda of the Carefree Celestial Venerable to observe it and to feel the mysteries of the Chaos Treasure.

A century later, he finally gained enough insight and had enough confidence in refining the Chaos Treasure.

"Let's begin. Right here, let's upgrade the first killing sword to a Chaos Treasure." Li Qing murmured, then his thoughts stirred slightly.

Sonorous!

A sharp golden light flashed, and in front of Li Qing, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword stood upright, with the Daoist principles flowing along its blade. Cultivators with slightly lower cultivation levels could not even look directly at this golden killing sword.

He chose the Immortal Slayer Sword as his first choice because this Heaven-Reaching Killing Sword had been with him the longest and was the one he was most comfortable using. Therefore, choosing the Immortal Slayer Sword as the first weapon to be upgraded to a Chaos Treasure was also the one he was most confident in.

Li Qing opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of pure true essence onto the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.

Soon, countless chaotic Dao traces appeared on the golden sword. Each trace was left by Li Qing when he underwent the Great Ascension Heavenly Tribulation. These were the foundation for the Immortal Slaughtering Sword to be promoted to a Chaotic Treasure.

The next moment, Li Qing activated the treasured artifact on his wrist. Under his mental command, a mass of chaotic origin was forced out of the cave world. Li Qing used his supreme power to suppress this mass of chaotic origin, preventing it from escaping in any way.

Finally, Li Qing activated the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, its long, straight blade plunging directly into the center of this chaotic origin.

boom!
A powerful and vast wave erupted, almost causing the entire chaotic origin to explode!

Fortunately, Li Qing's methods were astonishing, and he managed to suppress the Chaos Origin, allowing it to maintain its original form.

hum!
The Immortal Slaughtering Sword emitted a clear sword cry, as if it could not withstand the influx of a large amount of chaotic origin, and it seemed to be about to collapse.

Li Qing was not surprised by this; on the contrary, it was within his expectations.

Forging a Chaos Treasure is no easy task; in some ways, it is even more difficult than a cultivator in the Integration Stage advancing to the Mahayana Stage.

After all, only the carefree Celestial Venerable has ever accomplished this throughout history, and even then, he only achieved it with the help of external forces.

At this moment, the Immortal Slayer Sword is undergoing the most terrifying test, as the power contained in the Chaos Origin is capable of splitting the heavens and the earth.

The golden sword blade showed signs of being assimilated by the chaos within these primordial elements, which was definitely not a good sign. If left unchecked, the Immortal Slayer Sword would disappear from the world.

Seeing this, Li Qing immediately pointed out a finger, activating the secret technique in the "Refining Heaven Scripture" to use his superb weapon-refining skills to enhance the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and maintain its existence.

Before long, the chaotic Dao marks on the Immortal Slaughtering Sword seemed to come alive, each mark resembling a small, white fish, beginning to swim within the entire mass of chaotic origin.

As time went by, something amazing finally happened: the Chaos Origin began to merge with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, and the Chaos Dao Traces left behind during the Great Ascension Heavenly Tribulation became the carriers of the Chaos Origin.

boom!
A soaring aura surged forth from the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, and boundless golden light illuminated the entire Boundless Cave Heaven, causing this vast, independent secret realm to tremble.

"There is hope! This is the right path!"

Li Qing's eyes gleamed as he confirmed that he was on the right track every step of the way, and a bold idea suddenly sprouted in his mind.

Sonorous!

In the next instant, he summoned two more killing swords: the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and the Immortal Trapping Sword!

That's right, Li Qing wants to upgrade all three killing swords to Chaos Treasures at the same time. Since the process is the same anyway, he might as well do it all at once.

Soon, two more wisps of chaotic essence were extracted from his cave world. Li Qing repeated the process, plunging his two killing swords into the two wisps of chaotic essence.

hum!
Faced with the trend of the two Heaven-Reaching Killing Swords disintegrating, Li Qing, just like before, used the secret method of the "Refining Heaven Scripture" to maintain the integrity of the sword bodies.

After a long time, when the three killing swords had stabilized, Li Qing sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to sense the Primal World Seed within his body.

As a large amount of immortal spiritual power was drawn out, Li Qing activated the Taixu Immortal Fire.

boom!
Illusory flames were released, but this time they were not used against the enemy, but ignited on the three killing swords.

With the blessing of the immortal fire, the Chaos Origin accelerated its fusion with the Killing Sword.

The three swords, each a different color, grew stronger with each passing moment, and the entire Wuji Cave Heaven seemed on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, with Li Qing in charge, he covered the three killing swords with his own aura, causing all the chaotic power they were emitting to be contained.

Once everything calmed down, the three swords began to slowly absorb the Chaos Origin. This process was destined to be long, and even with the assistance of the Immortal Flame, it would probably take at least several hundred years to completely merge with the Chaos Origin.

And so, Li Qing sat cross-legged once more, silently urging the Primordial Flame to wait for the three Heaven-Piercing Killing Swords to absorb all the Chaos Origin.

Two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. Li Qing is like an old monk in deep meditation, not moving an inch for two hundred years.

The Primordial Flame continued to burn for two hundred years, and the three killing swords finally absorbed all the chaotic origins, leaving not a trace behind.

At this moment, the three killing swords were in a strange state. The laws contained within them were integrated with the chaos, like newly born chaotic miniature worlds, filled with scattered and disordered chaotic power.

“It has already become a nascent Chaos Treasure, with each killing sword surpassing the level of a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, but it is still somewhat lacking in the realm of a Chaos Supreme Treasure.” Li Qing muttered to himself, having discerned the key to this matter.

Next, the laws within the three killing swords will be extracted again, allowing them to be born from chaos and become true Chaos Treasures.

Just as he was about to begin refining, a divine thought transmission suddenly came from the outside: "Wuji, that kid from the Long family is preparing to break through to the Great Ascension stage."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "So soon, is Long Yi also going to reach this point?"

"It seems that before it can truly advance to a Chaos Treasure, it will have to get the three killing swords stained with blood."

After speaking, Li Qing waved his hand and put the three killing swords away again. Panlong City was now completely emptied of all cultivators, except for a figure dressed in hemp clothing who sat cross-legged in the sky above the city, breathing and regulating his energy.

Not long after, a divine thought transmitted: "Brother Long Yi, just focus on breaking through the barrier from now on, and don't worry about anything else."

Upon hearing this, Long Yi slowly opened his eyes, his smile clean and clear. He nodded and said, "Okay."

The moment the words fell, a pure golden phantom of a true dragon materialized from Long Yi's body, and a vast dragon's might swept outwards.

"Roar!"

With a deafening roar, two golden dragon-shaped beams of light shot from Long Yi's pupils.

The next moment, the light in his pupils vanished, and his entire body returned to a deathly stillness.

Unlike Li Qing's initial breakthrough, he was now trapped in his inner demons, which was the first life-or-death challenge he would face in his attempt to break through to the Mahayana stage.

However, Long Yi's willpower was strong enough. He had successfully passed through nine heavenly gates in the Ancient Dragon Realm and leaped over the dragon gate. Overcoming the tribulation of inner demons was no trouble for him.

About ten days later, the deathly aura on Long Yi's body returned, followed by a vast vortex of spiritual energy from heaven and earth that surged into Long Yi's body.

This commotion was quite intense, directly affecting the flow of spiritual energy throughout the entire human territory!
Many of the strongest individuals on the Tianyuan Continent could sense this intense fluctuation, and they quickly realized that it was the movement of someone attempting to break through to the Mahayana stage.

"That's interesting. To attempt to reach the Mahayana stage at this critical juncture is quite a bold move."

"Are you trying to reach the Mahayana stage before the Lingxiao Immortal Realm opens?"

"Such powerful dragon might! Could it be that a true dragon is breaking through in the spirit realm?"

"."

Countless gazes came from all directions of the Tianyuan Continent, wanting to see what the source of this mighty dragon's power was.

But just then, a cold snort resounded from the void.

"Humph!"

A surge of powerful chaotic energy instantly blocked all gazes. Unless one were to descend in person, it would be impossible to see the progress of Long Yi's breakthrough.

Long Yi below continued to absorb the vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After an unknown amount of time, a nascent soul the same size as Long Yi emerged from his body.

The nascent soul became extremely solid, and the aura emanating from its body reached its peak.

Long Yi has passed the hurdle of Nascent Soul solidification about 70-80% and is not far from success.

In an instant, all the cultivators in the entire human territory understood that the human race was likely about to give birth to its third Great Ascension stage Celestial Venerable!
If successful, then the world will be ruled by three deities!
Even in the history of humankind, there has never been such a golden age, with three Mahayana-stage Celestial Venerables jointly guarding humankind. This is absolutely an incredibly exciting thing.

At that time, the human race will rank eighth on the Tianyuan Continent, and will be able to obtain many more Immortal Jade Tokens!

But will things really go so smoothly? Currently ranked eighth is the Beast Race, a powerful race that even the Ghost Horned Race could not surpass at its peak. Naturally, they would not want to see the Human Race produce another Great Ascension Stage Celestial Venerable, shaking the Beast Race's position.

boom!
On the Tianyuan Continent, in the desolate Beast Domain, several terrifying and savage auras revived.

An ancient beast ancestor has emerged from seclusion, intending to interfere with the emergence of the third Mahayana-stage Celestial Venerable among the human race.

Several beast claws tore through the sky and plummeted towards the human territory.

Just then, the Chaos Xuanhuang Tower burst forth from the void, deflecting the probing attacks of these beast ancestors.

The Celestial Venerable of Freedom manifested in the heavens, his voice chillingly cold: "Today I'll see which blind fool dares to reach out!"

Such a powerful and carefree Celestial Venerable made several ancient ancestors of the beast race hesitate for a moment, pondering the pros and cons.

But at this moment, a light laugh came from the void again: "Xiaoyao, I have recently gained some insights into my cultivation and would like to spar with you to see how my cultivation has progressed."

"Mingzun? It seems the Three-Eyed Sacred Clan intends to completely break ties with our human race?" The killing intent in Xiaoyao Tianzun's eyes was fully revealed as he stared intently at the figure hidden in the void.

"Hehe, don't put it so harshly. It's just that we owe the Beast Clan a favor, it has nothing to do with my Holy Clan." Mingzun chuckled, revealing his aura as a mid-stage Mahayana cultivator.

The next moment, Li Qing unleashed a chaotic handprint into the void, shattering the entire sky.

Mingzun did not retreat. He opened his third eye on his forehead and instantly neutralized the powerful attack.

"The Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji truly lives up to his reputation; his Chaos Dao is indeed unfathomably profound." The Bright Venerable's eyes revealed a solemn expression.

In response, Li Qing's actions were even more direct. He used the remaining chaotic power to lock onto the location of the Bright Lord, and a great road paved with chaotic power spread out beneath his feet.

"Since you're here, be prepared to die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing's figure transformed into a silver streak of light, instantly traversing the entire Chaos Great Dao and descending before the three-eyed saintly being in the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm.

The light from Mingzun's forehead intensified, and the vast power of his pupils distorted space, as if it were about to destroy Li Qing's physical body.

But what responded to him was a golden killing sword filled with chaotic power!
This sword cleaved the sky, stirring up boundless sunlight, moonlight, and starlight, causing the entire heavens to dim, as if only this sword light remained in the whole world.

Li Qing immediately used the Chaos Immortal Slaughtering Sword. Although it had not yet been fully refined into a Chaos Treasure, its power was naturally extremely strong, far surpassing that of the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

Wow!

A terrifying sword wound appeared on Mingzun's body, and his body was being impacted by a large amount of chaotic power, almost causing his body to collapse.

"A Chaos Treasure? Impossible." Mingzun's face showed utter shock. He was injured in just one exchange, which was truly unbelievable.

He never expected that this Wuji Celestial Venerable also seemed to possess a Chaos Treasure!
Before he could retreat, Li Qing raised his other hand, and the power of the law of cause and effect gathered, forming a sword of the law of cause and effect once again.

With another sword strike, he aimed to sever the causal connection between Mingzun and the heavens and earth.

But at this moment, an even more terrifying spiritual pressure appeared in the sky. A powerful expert in the late stage of Mahayana had arrived—Ling Xuzi of the Three-Eyed Sacred Clan!

"It really is you. I thought you died in the Demon Realm."
