Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1148 One sword slays a Mahayana cultivator, his fame shakes the Spirit Realm
The fact that the Four Swords of Zhuxian ascended to the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking caused a huge uproar throughout the entire Spirit Realm. Countless powerful figures tried to deduce the secrets of heaven, hoping to find out where these four Chaos Treasures were!

Even the most powerful beings cannot deduce any secrets of heaven.

Li Qing is now far too powerful. The destiny of heaven is hidden within him, and with the primordial world seed fused within his body, even a true immortal descending to earth would not be able to deduce the secrets of heaven from him.

However, judging from the names of the Four Swords of Zhuxian, these are definitely Chaos Treasures that were forged later!
Currently, only the human race has the capability to accomplish this. After all, given the precedent of the Chaos Xuanhuang Tower, many powerful individuals can basically guess that these four Chaos Treasures that appeared at the same time were most likely the work of a human Celestial Venerable.

Having survived the immense Chaos Tribulation, Li Qing naturally returned to the human realm. He sat in the Boundless Cave Heaven, fondling the upgraded Four Swords of Zhuxian.

With all four Chaos Killing Swords unleashed, they would undoubtedly possess the power to defeat even a true immortal!
And so, time passed by.

The opening time of the Lingxiao Immortal Realm is getting closer and closer. In recent years, Immortal Jade Tokens have been falling from the Tianyuan Continent like meteor showers from time to time, attracting many powerful people to compete for them.

The territory currently possessed by the human race is extremely vast, far exceeding the most prosperous period in human history. Therefore, immortal jade tokens can fall into the human race's territory.

call out!
Twelve years after Li Qing completed forging the sword, a bright shooting star streaked across the vast night sky and crashed directly into the southeastern border of the human race's territory.

In an instant, many powerful figures who had been waiting for the celestial jade token to fall sprang into action, their targets very clear, and they all rushed toward the location where the celestial jade token had fallen.

More than a dozen beings at the Mahayana stage rapidly approached the human territory, and terrifying spiritual pressure swept across the sky, instantly causing the arrays and city walls on the human border to collapse completely.

The Immortal Jade Token fell into the hands of a disciple of a small sect of the human race. The strongest person in this Immortal Sect was only at the Refinement stage. The disciple who unexpectedly obtained the Immortal Jade Token was initially overjoyed, but then his expression turned extremely ugly.

In that very short instant, more than a dozen terrifying fluctuations of divine sense locked onto him from an extremely distant direction, rendering him completely immobile even from such a vast distance.

As for the sect's Void Refinement stage patriarch, he fled the moment he realized what was happening, fearing he would be implicated. He was quick to abandon his legacy.

"It's over." The human cultivator who had unexpectedly obtained the Immortal Jade Token turned pale and knelt on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Just at this critical moment, a killing sword filled with chaotic energy slashed across the sky!
boom!
This sword strike cleaved the vast night sky in two, and the great laws of heaven and earth crumbled under its light!

A world-destroying sword aura erupted from the blade of the Chaos Killing Sword, terrifying the dozen or so Mahayana-stage beings who all avoided this world-destroying sword aura.

In the blink of an eye, the sword energy swept across a million miles, ultimately leaving behind a bottomless abyss in the desolate land!
The area where the sword energy had just passed still retained an incredibly dense aura of destruction. Even from such a distance, it still made these top-tier experts in the Mahayana stage feel a chill run down their spines.

"So powerful. Is it that Wuji Tianzun?"

Just then, a cold voice boomed over: "Get out if you don't want to die."

Li Qing showed them no respect whatsoever, not even bothering to address them as "fellow Daoist" or reveal himself. He simply told these dozen or so Mahayana stage experts to get lost.

These words aroused anger in the powerful beings from beyond the boundary or from other continents.

The fact that they, as fellow Mahayana practitioners, acted in such a manner made them feel somewhat embarrassed. Although they had all heard of the reputation of this Wuji Tianzun, they were still somewhat skeptical.

"Hmph, I've long heard that the Human Race's Limitless Celestial Venerable possesses extraordinary abilities; I'd like to see..."

The next moment, a voice as loud as thunder interrupted him: "Die!"

The moment the words fell, the Chaos Immortal-Slaying Sword tore through the sky once more, its dazzling sword light stunning the entire human land.

The destructive sword energy unleashed was capable of truly annihilating all life. The early-stage Mahayana expert who had just spoken had no time to dodge and was directly struck head-on by the sword energy.

The power of destruction surged forth from his body like a tidal wave, and in the shortest time, the body of this Mahayana stage expert collapsed. His nascent soul showed a look of utter horror and tried to escape, but the law of destruction, like a leech, tightly bound his nascent soul.

Before long, the nascent soul of this Mahayana stage expert also perished, resulting in the complete annihilation of both body and soul!

The other Mahayana stage experts who came to compete for the Immortal Jade Token gasped in shock. The moment they saw the Chaos Immortal Sword turn its blade, they all shut their mouths, dared not utter any harsh words, and swiftly fled the human territory.

It was terrifying. Without even showing his face, from an unknown distance, he easily killed a powerful being in the early stage of Mahayana cultivation with just a sword of destruction.

This power has already surpassed the boundaries of the mortal realm; it can be said to be infinitely close to the level of immortality!
This matter spread like wildfire throughout the entire Tianyuan Continent. Upon hearing about it, every Mahayana stage expert who had descended to the Tianyuan Continent to await the opening of the Lingxiao Immortal Realm was filled with dread and silently designated the human race's territory as a forbidden area. Without an invitation, they would never set foot in human territory again.

"He annihilated a Mahayana-stage being with a single sword strike, without even revealing his face. Has this Wuji Heavenly Venerable become this powerful?"

“Some people said he was invincible in this world, and I had some doubts. But now it seems that he really has no rivals.”

"To restrain this Wuji Heavenly Venerable, it would probably require several late-stage Mahayana cultivators to join forces, and all of them must possess top-ranking Chaos Treasures; otherwise, it's uncertain whether they could do anything to him."

"Or perhaps a True Spirit King like the Qilin King or the Azure Dragon King, carrying a top-ten Chaos Treasure, could also suppress this Boundless Heavenly Venerable."

Yes, even with such harsh conditions, they believed that at most they could only suppress Li Qing, not truly kill him.

The Three-Eyed Holy Clan, a powerful race that has ruled the Tianyuan Continent for countless years, has become extremely low-key in recent years.

Li Qing's sudden emergence has subtly put pressure on them, making it hard for them to breathe. Their previously arrogant attitude has completely disappeared, and there are even fewer clansmen who dare to venture out into the world.

"Has the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji already reached this stage? Without revealing his true form, he killed a being in the early Mahayana stage with a single sword strike from afar."

"This is near-immortal combat power!"

"It seems that the four killing swords on the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking a few years ago must have been his work. Wuji Heavenly Venerable, what a fine Wuji Heavenly Venerable! When has my Three-Eyed Holy Clan ever fallen to this level?"

The Mahayana ancestors of the Three-Eyed Sacred Clan began to converse, their tone filled with apprehension towards this Limitless Celestial Venerable. Among them, however, was one who harbored extreme hatred for Li Qing—none other than the Bright Venerable who had nearly perished in the Great Void Immortal Flame during the invasion of human territory.

He narrowly escaped death, but suffered irreversible damage to his Dao. The terrifying immortal fire burned away most of his physical body, and even his cultivation level regressed from the mid-stage of Mahayana to the early stage of Mahayana.

"Are we just going to stand by and watch this brat run rampant? I'm not willing to accept that!" Mingzun's tone was filled with boundless hatred.

The other Mahayana cultivators of the Three-Eyed Saint Clan remained silent, keeping their mouths shut. Clearly, none of them wanted to die; no one wanted to think they had lived too long.

With Li Qing's current strength, even if they were to emerge together, it would probably only take one sword strike.

Just then, Ling Xuzi spoke up: "What's the rush? This boy has already become a force to be reckoned with. He can easily stir up a storm. Even I am no match for him."

"Just wait, the Lingxiao Immortal Realm is about to open, he definitely won't miss it."

Upon hearing this, Mingzun, who was originally filled with hatred, paused for a moment, then exclaimed with joy, "That's right! There are many incomplete immortal arrays and deadly places in the Lingxiao Immortal Realm. If we can lure him into them, we might be able to refine him to death!"

Ling Xuzi said coldly, "There are several secret places known only to our clan. Perhaps it's time to use them to our advantage."

After Li Qing's sword strike that killed a Mahayana cultivator ended, the disciple who had unexpectedly obtained the Immortal Jade Token collapsed to the ground, his body limp.

This almost certain death situation was thus averted.

To express his gratitude to the Celestial Venerable Wuji for saving his life, the disciple immediately handed over the Immortal Jade Token to the Dao Palace. In the end, this token for entering the Lingxiao Immortal Realm naturally fell into Li Qing's hands.

This disciple also received many benefits, including numerous spirit stones and pills as rewards, and joined the Dao Palace as a disciple.

With Li Qing in charge, the human territory became completely peaceful, and no foreign enemies dared to invade.

Decades passed in the blink of an eye. In this year, the Myriad Races Dao Stele underwent a strange change, with a large amount of immortal light scattering out from it, like a meteor shower pouring into the night sky.

These are all Immortal Jade Tokens! They will be distributed to the top ten most powerful races!
The human race obtained a total of six Immortal Jade Tokens, which were distributed according to their ranking.

"Unfortunately, the Primal World Seed that merged into my body isolated me from all heavenly secrets, and even severed my connection with the human race's destiny. Otherwise, with the four Chaos Killing Swords and my cultivation, it wouldn't have been a problem for the human race to break into the top three."

All six Immortal Jade Tokens fell into the Dao Palace. Three of them were immediately delivered to Li Qing. Including the one that the cultivator had offered earlier, he now had four Immortal Jade Tokens.

Of the remaining three, one fell into the hands of Long Yi, who was also at the Mahayana stage, while the other two were in the hands of Xiaoyao Tianzun.

Li Qing had no objection to this allocation. For him now, only the things in the two immortal palaces in the Lingxiao Immortal Realm were attractive.

Entering one of the immortal palaces requires three Immortal Jade Tokens! Each time the Lingxiao Immortal Realm is opened, the time is not very long, at most one immortal palace can be explored, and the remaining time is barely enough to open a few outer immortal residences.

Therefore, before entering the Lingxiao Immortal Realm, one must gather information and decide whether to go to the Doushuai Palace or the Yuxu Palace.

Because the two celestial palaces are located at opposite poles of the Lingxiao Celestial Realm, separated by an extremely vast distance, even a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage would find it difficult to arrive in a short time under such conditions, requiring a considerable amount of time.

Therefore, four Immortal Jade Tokens were enough for Li Qing.

And so, Li Qing quietly cultivated himself in his own cave, waiting for time to pass.

Seventy-two years later, he slowly opened his eyes and suppressed the chaotic Dao principles emanating from his body.

"A thousand years really does pass in the blink of an eye. Time really flies," Li Qing sighed, then slowly stood up and stopped cultivating.

A chaotic immortal lotus bloomed beneath his feet, with chaotic mist rising endlessly. The next moment, the power of chaos pierced through the void, and Li Qing's figure disappeared from the spot.

Before long, a towering figure appeared in the far north of the Tianyuan Continent.

This is the territory of the Ice Spirit Clan. Li Qing has come here to bring back Shen Ningbing; the thousand-year promise has come to an end.

This time, however, he didn't even say hello. He simply raised his hand slightly, and the previously stable void began to tremble, revealing a spatial passage.

A chilling aura emanated from the spatial passage. Without a second thought, Li Qing stepped out and arrived at the other end of the passage, reaching this icy wonderland.

Soon, several powerful auras revived from this icy world. The Ice Spirit Clan's ancestor thawed out of seclusion immediately and personally greeted Li Qing.

"Fellow Daoist Wuji, your name is now widely known. Even those sleeping in the glaciers often hear of your glorious deeds," Han Songzi said flatteringly, having naturally heard of Li Qing's various exploits.

When this renowned Wuji Celestial Venerable arrived at the Ice and Snow Wonderland, even the oldest Mahayana cultivator of the Ice Spirit Clan felt a chill run down his spine.

He knew that the entire Ice Spirit Clan could no longer stop him. If Li Qing wanted to, he could even wipe out the entire Ice Spirit Clan single-handedly.

"Fellow Daoist Han Songzi, you flatter me. You all know the purpose of my visit today, don't you?" Li Qing said calmly.

"Of course I understand. Binghua, why don't you hurry and take Fellow Daoist Wuji to the Cold Abyss? That young friend Shen should be about to be born!" Han Songzi said repeatedly.

The Ice Flower Ancestor immediately stepped forward and led Li Qing to the Cold Abyss. Her heart was filled with extremely complicated emotions. She never expected that in just a thousand years, this human Heavenly Venerable would reach this point. It would not be an exaggeration to call him the most powerful cultivator in the Spirit Realm.

"Come with me, Fellow Daoist Wuji. That young friend Shen has transformed very well, without leaving any flaws. You can rest assured," Binghua said respectfully, lowering her posture.
