I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 398: Crimson Palace Furnace Refining Ghost Banner

When Xia Daoming was offering sacrifices to the mountain god's scepter, a strange vision appeared in his mind.

The power of the mountain god's scepter was far greater than when he had wielded it before. With just one swing of the axe, mountains could collapse and the earth could crack, killing a large number of powerful creatures.

And when he had previously used all his strength to display the power of the Mountain God Scepter, his power was only comparable to that of an early Nascent Soul cultivator.

This is certainly related to his own low level of cultivation, but it also has a lot to do with the fact that the Mountain God's Scepter is incomplete and the mysterious power it contains is insufficient.

Now that he has built the Crimson Palace, his strength has undergone a qualitative change, and the power of the Mountain God Scepter he wields has naturally increased, but the increase in power is limited and not proportional to the growth of his actual strength.

Therefore, if Xia Daoming wants to return to the Great Xuan Realm, the most urgent thing is to repair his most powerful trump card, the Mountain God Scepter.

In this way, even if a Divine Transformation cultivator from Xuantian Pavilion really takes action, he will still have room to maneuver.

Before entering the Xuanwu Secret Realm, Xia Daoming once obtained a piece of the broken corner of the Mountain God's Hu.

However, at his level at that time, he could only see a few tricks and was unable to fill in the incomplete runes on the Mountain God's Sceptre or piece the broken corners onto the Mountain God's Sceptre.

Today, he has reached the Crimson Palace realm, and has more than twenty years of experience in refining the blood beads of the four divine beasts and forging the Crimson Palace. His divine eye ability has become more profound and he can capture more subtle and hidden traces. He can basically restore the ancient runes on the broken corners, which seem simple but actually contain many subtle and mysterious changes.

With the insights and experience from casting, and the help of his divine power of clairvoyance, Xia Daoming decided to try to piece together and repair the Mountain God's Sceptre to increase its power.

After looking over the Mountain God's Sceptre for a while, Xia Daoming put it away and took out the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner and the Ten Thousand Snakes Poison Banner.

When the Ten Thousand Snakes Poisonous Banner was taken out, there was nothing surprising about it except that it emitted a gloomy aura. However, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner was different.

As soon as the banner was taken out, black air began to swirl on the surface of the banner, and ghost hands and ferocious ghosts stretched out their heads, baring their fangs and claws, trying to break free from the banner.

On those ferocious ghosts, one could faintly see the figures and faces of Qi Wuya, Mo Bei, Muchen and others constantly changing like a passing show.

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

"You bastard, Xuantian Pavilion will not let you go!"

"..."

When the evil ghosts saw Xia Daoming, their eyes showed deep hatred, they bared their fangs and claws, and let out shrill cries.

These Nascent Souls contain powerful spiritual powers. If they are refined into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, they will surely become powerful ghost generals.

Since the two sides are enemies of life and death, Xia Daoming naturally will not show any mercy.

That day above the sea, Xia Daoming used his powerful force to kill many Nascent Soul cultivators, and at the same time hung the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner in the sky to absorb their Nascent Souls.

However, this method of refining the Nascent Soul is a cruel method and should not be performed during the journey.

Now that he has settled down on Red Dragon Island, Xia Daoming has nothing to worry about.

He saw that although Qi Wuya and the others' Nascent Souls had been dispersed long ago, their hatred for him was still condensed. He sneered, "When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. Don't hold a grudge against him anymore. Forget everything completely!"

As he spoke, Xia Daoming made some hand gestures.

A phantom of the Crimson Palace appeared in front of him.

But this time, the Crimson Palace was filled with flames, like a huge furnace.

The crimson palace is located in the heart.

Heart is fire.

The fire in the Crimson Palace is the most mysterious.

As the furnace in the Crimson Palace appeared, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner flew up and fell into the furnace in the Crimson Palace.

Suddenly, black energy surged from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, and countless evil ghosts screamed.

Soon, the Ten Thousand Snakes Poison Banner also flew into the Crimson Palace furnace, and Xia Daoming slowly closed his eyes. Half a year later.

On this day, Xia Daoming opened his eyes with a tired look.

The furnace in the Crimson Palace disappeared.

In front of him, there was only a dark banner floating quietly.

The flag was unfurled, and there was no more swirling black air, no more eerie ghostly aura, no more ghost claws sticking out, no more ghosts crying and wolves howling.

This Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner looks like an ordinary black banner.

Seeing this, Xia Daoming had an idea.

As soon as this thought came to mind, the originally ordinary black banner suddenly gave off a monstrous black aura, and a ghost claw covered with black scales stretched out from the banner, suddenly covering the entire hall.

The ghost claws slowly retracted, and the spiritual energy in the hall was continuously gathered, and finally compressed into a small bead.

The bead may look small, but it contains terrifying power.

"The power of this little bead should be no less than the life-saving item in my early years - Yin Ming Lei."

Xia Daoming looked at the small bead in the ghost claw's hand and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

As he was sighing with emotion, the ghost claw slowly loosened its claws, and the small bead lost its power to suppress it and exploded all of a sudden.

The terrifying air shock waves rushed in all directions, but were suppressed by the power of the ghost claw.

Apart from the turbulence of spatial energy in the ghost claw, the main hall was not affected at all.

“Not bad, not bad, it’s worth my hard work for half a year, not sparing a lot of the Crimson Palace Fire to refine more than ten Yuanyings and many evil spirits, and completely integrate the Ten Thousand Snakes Yin Poison Banner.

This banner can be controlled by spiritual consciousness. If used properly, it can barely be used by a late Nascent Soul cultivator. At the very least, it should be able to be used by a top-notch mid-Nascent Soul cultivator."

The Ghost Claw is extremely powerful and can be used at will without affecting one's spiritual consciousness. Xia Daoming is very happy about this.

After practicing the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner a few times as he pleased, Xia Daoming put it away.

After putting away the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, Xia Daoming began to take elixirs and pills to restore his cultivation.

After several days, when the Blood Sea Crimson Palace recovered, Xia Daoming once again took out the Mountain God's Sceptre and the broken horn, and observed them carefully with his eyes shining with golden light.

Another half year passed like this.

On this day, Zhuang Rui and Lu Ning both came to pay a visit.

The two lived up to Xia Daoming's cultivation and within a year, they both entered the late Jindan realm.

"My Lord, the two of us will start refining the elixir tomorrow. I wonder if you have anything else to tell me?"

"Okay, you pass on my decree and order Fu Zunli and Long Xinglan to open the furnace and refine the elixir for you two to protect you. If you need anything, let them know and I will arrange it." Xia Daoming was in a good mood when he saw that the two of them were already late Jindan cultivators and would be able to open the furnace and refine the elixir tomorrow.

"We will follow the master's orders!" Zhuang Rui and Lu Ning respectfully accepted the order and retreated.

A few days after Zhuang Rui and Lu Ning began to refine the elixir as ordered, Huang Yurong, who ranked second among the fourteen Red Dragon Guards, asked to see them.

"Your servant greets the master!" Huang Yurong bowed.

Sitting on the island master's throne, Xia Daoming's eyes were shining with sharp golden light as he looked at the beautiful and graceful Huang Yurong below.

In front of this sharp golden light, Huang Yurong felt as if she was completely exposed, and even all her thoughts seemed to have nowhere to hide in front of this sharp golden light.

This made Huang Yurong feel both frightened and inexplicably shy. Fortunately, Xia Daoming quickly withdrew his gaze, and Huang Yurong felt relieved.
