Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1155 Half-Immortal Li Qing
In the Lingxiao Immortal Realm, an astonishing aura swept out, and immediately, the sound of waves and tsunamis could be heard throughout the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles.

Wow!
The Mahayana-stage beings in the vicinity of this area all felt a sense of oppression and palpitations, as if a true immortal was about to descend.

"What happened? What was that terrifying noise just now?"

"It sounded like the boiling blood of some powerful being."

"How is this possible? Just the boiling of blood and qi is enough to cause such a commotion. Could it be that a true immortal who has been sleeping for countless ages in the Lingxiao Immortal Realm has been resurrected?"

"This is the location of the Tusita Heaven. Could there be some change in the Tusita Heaven?"

All the Mahayana stage experts who came from the outside world were extremely shocked, and their eyes turned to the source of the violent commotion.

Immediately afterwards, streaks of light shot out, rapidly flying towards the source of that aura, as they wanted to see what had happened.

However, these Mahayana practitioners had to stop as they approached that region, their expressions solemn as they gazed at the vast and wondrous phenomenon in the sky ahead.

It wasn't that they didn't want to go any further, but rather that they were so overwhelmed by the terrifying pressure surging from the source of the strange phenomenon that they could no longer advance.

The immortal laws in front of them were actually drawn out, turning into substance, and flashing and intertwining in the void like various colored lights.

"What exactly happened? The power of that aura inside is even greater than that of our clan's old patriarch!" A crimson phoenix soared through the sky, its phoenix eyes filled with intense shock.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan is also one of the most powerful true spirits in the world. The Heavenly Phoenix King in their clan is definitely a near-immortal being, ranking among the most powerful in all the heavens and myriad realms.

The fact that even a mid-stage Mahayana Heavenly Phoenix was so shocked shows just how powerful the aura in the strange phenomenon ahead was; it was definitely a being at the Immortal Dao level!

More and more Mahayana stage experts gathered, looking at the sky that seemed about to collapse from afar, their eyes filled with horror and shock.

Among them, several Mahayana stage cultivators from the Three-Eyed Saint Clan had deathly pale faces, looking extremely unwell.

Ling Xuzi's gaze was extremely solemn. He naturally knew who was in the strange phenomenon. They had previously detonated a celestial array, disrupting the celestial laws of this place, intending to severely injure Li Qing.

Unexpectedly, Li Qing seemed to have suffered no harm at all. On the contrary, he was becoming stronger by using these immortal laws, and seemed to be moving towards a supreme realm!

"What kind of being have we created?" a Mahayana cultivator from the Three-Eyed Sacred Clan muttered to himself. He understood that this matter was extremely serious. Once Li Qing's transformation was complete, the entire Three-Eyed Sacred Clan would likely face annihilation!
"We can't just sit idly by and do nothing; we have to think of a way. We have to think of a way."

However, it's too late to turn back now. They can't even cross the chaotic laws of the immortal realm ahead, let alone influence the powerful being undergoing transformation at the center of these laws.

Right now, all the Mahayana practitioners around could only watch from afar and wait.

Before long, a majestic figure appeared, his true form reflected in the entire sky. A Chaos Immortal Lotus bloomed at his feet, making him look exactly like a true immortal descending to earth!
A rich celestial light emanated from that figure. At this moment, Li Qing seemed to have become the focus of the entire Lingxiao Immortal Realm. He was drawing upon the remaining immortal spiritual power and law power in the world to forge his supreme immortal body!

Just before that, he had already swallowed the immortal bamboo shoot, and the immortal power contained within it instantly spread throughout his physical body, thus affecting his physical form.

Immortal bamboo shoots can assist true immortals in the upper realm to forge the body of a mystic immortal. If combined with superior body-forging techniques from the immortal realm, the resulting supreme immortal body can even rival a golden immortal at the level of a true immortal!

Li Qing's current cultivation level is still far from that of a true immortal. He hasn't even transformed his physical body into an immortal form yet, so it's impossible for him to cultivate a true Xuanxian body.

Therefore, this immortal bamboo shoot can only transform his mortal body into an immortal one for him at present. Any excess medicinal power will dissipate completely and cannot remain for long.

However, this step is extremely difficult. This action almost goes against the natural order. If one cannot become a true immortal, how can one transform a mortal body into an immortal one?

The immortal laws of the entire Lingxiao Immortal Realm seemed to be activated, and the intertwined light of laws was tempering Li Qing's physical body. Every beam of immortal light of laws easily pierced through his body, leaving behind traces of the laws.

This step looks like a tribulation; such injuries are beyond the recovery even of an immortal body.

Fortunately, the immortal bamboo shoots continued to work, constantly reshaping his body, making his flesh even more flawless and pure with each cleansing.

Li Qing was not passively enduring the tempering of the immortal light of the laws. His thoughts were all focused on his sea of ​​consciousness. He endured the excruciating pain of his physical body disintegrating and comprehended a body-tempering immortal scripture—the "Primordial Body Tempering Immortal Scripture"!
To forge a true immortal body, this body-tempering technique from the immortal realm is indispensable. He must master it; only in this way can he withstand the tempering of the immortal light of the laws and lay the foundation for his immortal body.

Rumble!
A terrifying beam of immortal light pierced through Li Qing's side abdomen. No blood flowed from the horrifying gash; instead, countless traces of immortal laws covered the wound.

The excruciating pain nearly shattered his soul. The attack that had just struck him was actually a destructive law that involved the immortal realm. If it had landed on his head, even his primordial spirit would have been extinguished!
Li Qing separated a wisp of his mind and manipulated four Chaos Killing Swords to leave his body, each protecting one of the four directions around him to withstand the bombardment of some of the immortal light of the laws.

At this critical moment, Li Qing finally gained a preliminary understanding of the "Primordial Body Tempering Immortal Scripture"!
Although it's only the beginning, it's already enough.

Li Qing activated the Body Refining Immortal Scripture, actively guiding the power of the immortal bamboo shoots within his body to forge an unparalleled immortal body at an even faster pace.

Gradually, Li Qing's physical body became extremely flawless and immaculate, and one could clearly see boundless immortal light slowly flowing through the meridians within his body.

At this moment, his body had surpassed that of any True Spirit King in the lower realm, as if he could easily pierce the sky and open a passage to ascend to the Immortal Realm with a mere wave of his hand.

Li Qing opened his eyes, and two beams of clear light flashed through his dark pupils. His eyes seemed to contain three thousand planes, encompassing everything, and were able to see through any cause and effect and secrets of heaven in the world.

"Not enough," Li Qing murmured. Through the Demon Lord's memories, he knew that his current physical body was only just emerging from the mortal realm and could not yet be considered a true immortal's body.

A true immortal body is capable of opening immortal apertures!

Upon realizing this, Li Qing immediately activated the Primal World Seed, and rich immortal spiritual power flowed out from it, spreading through his body like streams.

These immortal spiritual energies converged towards his dantian and eventually merged into his nascent soul.

"Immortal Aperture, manifest!" Li Qing shouted in his heart, fully activating the Primal World Seed.

At that moment, faint outlines of celestial apertures began to emerge from his body.

If he could open one of them, he could directly enter the True Immortal Realm, but unfortunately, his magical power cultivation is still far too lacking.

Now is not the time for true immortals, so Li Qing had to put aside this unrealistic idea and focus on circulating the "Primordial Body Forging Immortal Scripture" to build the foundation of his immortal body.

Soon, a primordial aura emanated from Li Qing's body, and immortal spiritual power overflowed from his mouth and nose. With each breath, the illusory image of the immortal aperture on his body would solidify a little more.

Two full days passed, and with the help of the immortal bamboo shoots within his body, these illusory immortal apertures finally stabilized.

Li Qing barely managed to cultivate the first level of the "Primordial Body Tempering Immortal Scripture," which is divided into nine levels!
It was at this very moment that the immortal laws of the Lingxiao Immortal Realm roared, as if endless dark clouds were gathering, as if brewing a tribulation to become an immortal.

But this calamity, which seemed to be a tribulation of immortals, ultimately failed to materialize!

Li Qing was lucky, because he was not a true immortal after all; his physical body had only barely reached that level. Moreover, the Great Dao Laws of the Lingxiao Immortal Realm were incomplete, so he could not generate a true Heavenly Tribulation.

Seeing this, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He knew he had succeeded and cultivated a true immortal body.

All of this felt so unreal, like a dream.

Feeling his current immortal body, Li Qing felt that the world of Lingxiao Immortal Realm could no longer suppress him!

However, it's not time to reap the rewards yet. The power of the immortal bamboo shoots within his body is dissipating. Li Qing mobilizes the power of the Primal World Seed to seal the medicinal power of these immortal bamboo shoots within his immortal body.

After doing all this, the primordial species revived even further!
If left unchecked, once they leave the Lingxiao Immortal Realm, they will inevitably reveal heavenly secrets, alerting the supreme beings of the Immortal Realm and ultimately leading to their destruction.

Li Qing understood that he had to begin integrating the immortal spiritual power within the Primordial World Seed, so that his magical power and true essence would contain the power of immortality!
Now that he possesses the body of a true immortal, he is absolutely capable of bearing immortal spiritual power.

However, there are certain risks involved in doing this. Once it begins, his fate will be completely tied to the Primal World Seed, and even the Demon Lord does not know how things will evolve in the future.

This is, after all, a forbidden item in the immortal realm!
"Let's begin." Li Qing took a deep breath, and the immortal light on his body was completely drawn back into his body. With a slight thought, he guided the immortal spiritual power within the Primordial World Seed to flow through his body, finally converging into his dantian and merging with his nascent soul!
Boom!

The moment his magical power and immortal spiritual power touched each other, it was like boiling oil in a raging fire. Li Qing's dantian boiled and surged, and he was almost pierced by the rampant immortal spiritual power.

Only when one reaches the True Immortal stage can one transform all their magical power into immortal spiritual power. What Li Qing is doing now is clearly an extremely risky move.

At this moment, Li Qing activated his cultivation technique and the Primordial World Seed, forcibly suppressing the immortal spiritual power and his own true essence, forcing the two to merge together.

However, each encounter was extremely unsuccessful, as the two forces were like distinct rivers, unable to merge at all.

"Find a balance point. The immortal spiritual power is destined to surpass your magical power. Try to use your own cultivation techniques to refine this immortal spiritual power for your own use."

The Demon Lord's voice rang out in Li Qing's mind at just the right moment, but Li Qing hesitated to do so. He said, "Are you crazy? I'm only at the Mahayana stage. Do you think I can refine immortal spiritual power?"

"The cultivation method you practice is an immortal cultivation method, and your physical body has also transformed into the body of an immortal. What is impossible about that?" the Demon Lord replied coldly.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing suddenly realized that he had overlooked all of this and still regarded himself as a human cultivator in the Mahayana stage.

Yes, he has always used the immortal spiritual power mobilized by the Primal World Seed, and never thought of personally controlling such immortal power. Now that he has the body of an immortal, he naturally has to adjust his mindset.

Finally, Li Qing's divine sense stirred slightly, and he began to circulate his cultivation technique, attempting to refine the immortal spiritual power within his body.

"What an idiot! I told you to try refining immortal spiritual power yourself, not to completely abandon the Primal World Seed. You can use the Primal World Seed to assist in the refining!" The Demon Lord commented in a tone of disappointment.

Li Qing was already used to such mockery. He heeded the advice and used the Primal World Seed to suppress the restless immortal spiritual power while simultaneously circulating his cultivation technique to refine it.

Finally, a wisp of immortal spiritual power merged with a strand of his magical true essence!
He succeeded. With this experience, Li Qing began to speed up, skillfully merging his magic power with more immortal spiritual power.

Gradually, the aura emanating from Li Qing became increasingly terrifying, and the entire world became extremely oppressive. The Mahayana stage beings who were watching felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but move away.

Three days passed in this way, and the strange phenomena in the world began to stir. Large swathes of immortal laws were suppressed, and all the immortal light was completely concealed.

In an instant, the entire world was left with only a majestic figure sitting cross-legged on the Chaos Immortal Lotus. He faced a group of Mahayana stage experts alone. These beings who used to roam freely in the Spirit Realm now looked so small and insignificant!
Li Qing succeeded. He completely merged with the Primal World Seed, and also fused his vast and powerful magical power and immortal spiritual power together.

Thus, he broke new ground, glimpsing the realm of immortality amidst the mortal world, and became a half-immortal!
The imposing figure slowly stood up, looking down upon all living beings with a distant and profound gaze, as if he had seen through the cause and effect of the world.

At that very moment, an ancient scroll flew down from the Lingxiao Immortal Realm and slowly unfurled in front of Li Qing.

Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. He thought he was seeing things. Why would the Daoist Canon from the Daoist Palace be here?
But he quickly realized that this was a treasure from the Immortal Realm, one of the past volumes of the Book of Time, and it was contained here!

"The Book of Time consists of five volumes: two for the past, two for the future, and one for the present. It's incredible that one of these volumes was lost in the Lingxiao Immortal Realm," exclaimed the Xuantian Immortal Palace.

Upon seeing this book of the past, Li Qing realized that cause and effect were in flux, and he saw scenes of his past self through the book.

"So that's how it is. The cause and effect in this world are truly wondrous. Now I can transmit the Dharma to my past self and pass on the 'Dao Jie Wu Ji Jing' to the past." Li Qing murmured, placing one hand on the scroll of the Book of Time.
