Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 898 Agreement between all races
After returning to the cave, Li Qing began a deep retreat again.

No matter how chaotic the war was in the outside world, he just turned a deaf ear to the external affairs and focused on practicing Taoism.

At the beginning of this retreat, Li Qing first practiced the "Red Glory Burning Heaven Art" again.

Because the new chapter of the martial arts he comprehended in the Fire Domain was more complete, and the previous realms were also fine-tuned.

It took several months to retrain.

Although Li Qing's cultivation did not improve, he gained a lot of benefits.

The operation of the martial arts in his body became more transparent, and his own magical power became much stronger. This revision of the martial arts was no less than a transformation.

“If I advance to the Void Refining Stage in the future, I can advance directly without any obstacles, and I can directly continue with the practice.”

Li Qing let out a long breath, and his entire aura became much more condensed. After mastering the exercises, the realm he had just broken through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation was finally stabilized.

He still has a few Earth Spirit Grass fruits on hand, but he is not in a hurry to use them to improve his cultivation.

He planned to continue accumulating for a while and comprehend more about his current state in order to lay a solid foundation.

Afterwards, he began to comprehend the "Nine Snakes Heart Sutra" he obtained from Luohun Mountain.

The entire content of this mental method was deeply imprinted in his sea of ​​consciousness, and all the contents were clearly visible.

"It's a little different from what I imagined. It's quite different from the Kunpeng Treasure Technique. It's not a true spiritual inheritance."

After some contemplation, Li Qing gained a lot of insights into the "Nine Snakes Heart Sutra". He originally thought that it was the same as the "Kunpeng Treasure Technique", and that it could cultivate true spiritual power in the body.

But this is not the case. The Nine Snakes Heart Sutra came from a race that believed in and worshipped the True Spirit Hydra. It is not the inheritance of the True Spirit Hydra.

"It's a bit strange. This mental method is not a method of cultivation. The things it covers are very complicated. It is more appropriate to call it a mental method."

The "Nine Snakes Heart Sutra" is divided into three levels. The first level is very simple and easy to understand. Once it is practiced, it can directly bring some benefits to the three aspects of body, magic power and soul.

This increase is very intuitive and comprehensive, and it will bring significant benefits to any existence.

But when it comes to the second level of practice, it becomes a bit profound and complicated.

The second level is to raise a snake spirit, which requires taking the essence and blood of a snake monster, the stronger the better.

At this level, one must plant the blood essence of the snake monster into one's own body, and use one's own spirit, magic power, and qi and blood to nourish this blood essence.

Once it is refined, there will be an extra snake spirit in the body. This snake spirit can not only assist in battle, but can also merge with the body, thereby transforming into a snake and bursting out with power far beyond its own.

As for the third level, it is even more bizarre. This level is related to sacrifice.

Once cultivated, the snake spirit that one has raised with great difficulty can be used as a sacrifice, and the object of the sacrifice is still unknown.

However, it can often bring temporary help from some unknown and terrifying force. If the snake spirit is of good enough quality, it is not impossible to borrow the power of a real spirit!
"In this case, all the previous training will be wasted. However, it is still quite good to use it as a trump card in desperate situations."

Sacrifice the snake spirit in exchange for unknown power, and it is even possible to borrow the power of a true spirit.

If you encounter a life-and-death crisis, it does provide you with an additional means to break the impasse.

"It seems that this Nine Snakes Heart Sutra is still worth practicing. At least the improvement brought by refining the first level is quite considerable. We can't give up easily."

As for the next two levels, Li Qing was not in a hurry to practice. After all, he did not have any good snake monster essence blood at the moment.

With this in mind, Li Qing decided to focus his time and energy on practicing the "Nine Snakes Heart Sutra" and began to concentrate on comprehending the first level.

Although the contents were reflected in his mind, it was not so easy to try to practice.

The practice of this mental method is not easy, and many of its contents are extremely complicated and obscure. Even Li Qing's soul in the Nascent Soul Stage finds it difficult to comprehend it thoroughly in a short period of time.

Fortunately, Li Qing was very patient. He was not discouraged by the difficult journey of cultivation. Instead, he persisted in it even more stubbornly.

In this way, time passed by unknowingly, day after day, and in the blink of an eye, several months had passed.

In the outside world, the war between the giants and the tree demons has reached a white-hot stage. Both sides have suffered many casualties, and even the old monsters at the fusion stage have suffered some losses.

As for the human race in Xuan Ancient City, they have actually been living a very uneasy time during this period.

Even if you are just doing some support work at the rear of the battlefield, the Immortal Path War is filled with too many unknowns and dangers.

Therefore, during this period of time, the human race who went to support also suffered a lot of casualties. Some cultivators in the God Transformation stage and some powerful body cultivators died, and even their bodies were not brought back.

The war had progressed to this point and it should have been a fight to the death, but both tribes strangely stopped fighting.

It stopped for more than ten days, and no one knew what happened during that time.

After hearing waves of violent spiritual power fluctuations coming from the sky above the Tonggu Continent, the strong men from all races realized that this must be the ancestors of the two races starting to fight.

After confirming this, the entire Tonggu Continent fell into deathly silence. No one dared to act on their own again. Everyone waited quietly for the outcome of the fight between the ancestors of the two tribes.

The extremely violent fluctuations of spiritual power could be clearly felt even at an extremely long distance.

This was just a fight in the void outside the sky. If a war broke out in the universe, the sky would probably be torn apart and the entire Tonggu Continent would fall into a catastrophe.

Even Li Qing, who was in seclusion, couldn't help but come out.

He raised his head to the sky, looking in awe at the direction where the two Mahayana masters were fighting.

"It's so powerful. Even though we are at such a long distance, I can still feel a sense of oppression from the bottom of my heart." Li Qing murmured to himself.

Although the Giant Spirit Ancestor was very confident in his attitude towards the ancient ancestor of the Tree Demon Clan in the Fire Region, that was, after all, an ancient ancestral tree that had lived for endless years. They were both in the Mahayana stage, so how could they be that different?

The battle between the ancient ancestors of the two tribes lasted for seven days. After the aftermath gradually subsided, the strong men of each tribe became nervous.

They are eager to know the outcome of this battle, because it will be a battle with extremely far-reaching impacts, and may even change the situation of the entire Tonggu Continent in the future.

Even the human race in Xuan Gu City were extremely nervous. If the giant ancestor was defeated, the days ahead would probably be difficult.

After a few days, the two tribes withdrew their troops, as if they had reached some agreement, and a ceasefire miraculously occurred.

However, the outcome of this battle was somewhat confusing, and no one knew which side won.

Soon, an agreement was circulated.

"In the future, a passage between the two worlds may appear in Tonggu Continent. In order to ensure that there are enough fresh troops in the battlefield between the two worlds, beings at the Fusion Stage and above are no longer allowed to attack at will."

"If any being in the fusion stage dares to ignore this agreement, then all races will join forces to kill him." The dispute has not stopped, but the high-end combat forces of each race can no longer take action easily. Only cultivators in the refining stage and below can continue to fight.

After reading this agreement, Li Qing was silent for a while, and then said to himself: "It seems that the war between the entire clan has evolved into a dispute between the middle and young generations."

"That's good, at least we'll have enough combat power and fresh troops for the future battlefields between the two worlds."

"If the war continues, I'm afraid that even the cannon fodder in the Fusion Stage won't be enough when the passage between the two worlds opens."

For Li Qing himself, this is naturally a great thing. At least he doesn't have to worry about the war in the future being so intense that it will directly sweep into Xuan Gu City.

If it was just limited to the Nascent Soul stage, he still had a good deal of confidence and certainty in being able to handle it.

At this point, the scale and intensity of the war had decreased significantly, and it was almost a ceasefire.

However, news and secrets from all ethnic groups soon spread out.

"The Red Luan Saint of the Feiling Clan has successfully entered the Void Refining Stage. It is said that on the day of the breakthrough, a phantom of a Red Luan was reflected in the sky!"

Almost at the same time, news came from the Tree Demon Clan that several young geniuses had successfully entered the Void Refinement Stage.

"The Sky Sword Grass successfully advanced to the Void Refining Stage. After the heavenly calamity that day, there was a vision of six swords flying in the air, showing their sharpness!"

"Hiss, a six-leaf sword grass, I'm afraid it can really stand out among the young and middle-aged generation."

"It's hard to say. It is said that after the Red Luan Saint Son successfully broke through, the true blood in his body further returned to its ancestral state. In the future, he may really turn into a true spiritual Red Luan bird!"

The Feiling Clan and the Shu Yao Clan each had their geniuses enter the Nascent Soul Stage, and it seemed that they had a considerable advantage in the agreement that forbids them from taking action during the Fusion Stage.

Many people even speculated that in the battle in outer space some time ago, the ancient ancestor tree of the tree demon clan might have gained the upper hand, and the release of this agreement bought the tree demon clan enough breathing time.

But Li Qing didn't think so. Although there was no news that any genius from the Giant Spirit Clan had entered the Void Refinement Stage, that was because as early as in the Tianguang Secret Realm, the unfathomable white-eyed giant had already entered this level.

To be honest, the giants have a considerable advantage in this agreement.

Just as the outside world was waiting for other news, a vast layer of calamity clouds suddenly condensed over the human race’s Xuan Gu City.

Rumble!
The terrifying pressure of thunder made everyone in the city fall into shock. They all looked up at the cloudy sky and opened their mouths wide.

"Is this... a great calamity?!"

"Yes, this is the great heavenly tribulation. Is someone about to enter the Void Refining Stage?"

"Could it be that the great calamity of Lingxu City Lord has arrived early?"

For a moment, the entire Xuan Gu City was full of speculation, wanting to know what was going on.

Judging from the thickness of the thundercloud, this is definitely a major calamity, far beyond the reach of any minor one!

This sudden change alarmed Li Qing. He extended his spiritual sense and looked towards the sky outside.

"It really is a great calamity. Is someone going to advance to the Void Refining Stage?"

"I didn't expect that my human race actually has a genius hidden. This is quite unexpected."

Li Qing chuckled. He had almost guessed the identity of the person who was undergoing the tribulation.

Of course it couldn’t be Lord Hei Ming. After leaving the Tianguang Secret Realm, Lord Hei Ming never returned to Xuan Gu City.

"Mr. Hu, he shouldn't have reached this point yet. If there is no special opportunity, he will need at least a hundred years to cultivate to the perfection of the Spiritual Transformation Stage."

"In this case, it should be the Sikong Merchant of Jinfeng Trading Company."

Sure enough, a thin middle-aged man with a mustache and a relaxed demeanor ascended to the sky step by step.

As early as after the Giant Spirit King City auction ended, Merchant Sikong announced to the public that he was going into seclusion.

Now that so much time has passed, many people have already forgotten about this matter. Unexpectedly, at this rather special time point, Lord Sikong Shang finally took this step.

"God, please have mercy on us. Is our human race going to have another powerful person in the Void Refinement Stage?!"

"It turned out to be Lord Sikong. He actually made a breakthrough!"

“I heard a long time ago that this merchant got a Void Breaking Pill. It seems that with the help of the pill, he has finally advanced to the Void Refining Stage.”

“Can you survive the heavenly tribulation? This is a genuine great heavenly tribulation, a great heavenly tribulation that even the Lord of Lingxu City is extremely afraid of.”

The restrictions of the city's formation were immediately released, and Lord Sikong Shang rushed into the sky unhindered. He was going to face the first great calamity in his life.

If something goes wrong, this catastrophe may become the last major catastrophe in his life.

Rumble!
Thunder rumbled in the sky, as if it was going to crack the entire sky apart.

The tiny figure began to respond to the calamity. In the vast sea of ​​thunder, Lord Sikong Shang looked insignificant, but he was the only protagonist of this calamity and attracted the attention of the entire city.

This thunder disaster lasted for seven days and seven nights, during which many terrifying heavenly thunders appeared. However, Lord Sikong Shang had a profound foundation and was finally able to resolve them one by one.

The thunderclouds dissipated and the heavenly calamity ended!
boom!
A powerful aura surged out from the body of Lord Sikong Shang. After going through all the hardships and reaching perfection, he finally officially entered the Void Refining Stage!
From today on, the human race in Xuan Gu City has the protection of a second powerful person in the Nascent Soul Stage.

After learning about this, many mortals in the city even cried for joy, as if they had successfully made a breakthrough.

With one more powerful person in the Nascent Soul stage, it means that Xuan Gu City will have more security in the future and will no longer have to rely on the support of Ling Xu City Lord alone.

After all, it is difficult to support a single tree.

Soon, a hearty voice rang out from the City Lord's Mansion:

“Hahahaha, congratulations to Fellow Daoist Sikong for completing his tribulation and successfully entering the Void Refining Stage!”

The Lord of Lingxu City came out in person to congratulate them. He had a smile on his face, which showed joy from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you, Lord Lingxu!"

Soon, figures flew up into the sky one after another to congratulate Lord Sikong on his advancement to the Void Refinement Stage.

Li Qing was naturally among them. It was naturally a great thing for the human race to have one more cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, and sincere congratulations were needed.
