The Heavens: Man Covers the Heavens, Refines Treasures to Become an Emperor

Chapter 45 The Path of Cultivation
At this moment, Jiang Xuan was sitting cross-legged in a long river of magic weapons.

There is a big bell. When the bell rings, it can suppress the power of chaos, reverse time and space, refine yin and yang, and have the ability to turn the world upside down.

There is a Tai Chi diagram, a picture that separates the clear from the turbid, determines the land, wind, water, and fire, and encompasses everything.

There is a banner, swaying slightly, with the power to create the world, the power to tear apart chaos, the power to control heaven and earth, the power to shatter time and space, and the power to command everything.

Tripod, sword, tower, book...

Nearly endless magical weapons tore through the sky and split the earth, creating a huge upsurge in this long river of magical weapons, and countless magical powers collided in an unimaginable and violent manner.

This is also the magic of the Nine Skyless Boundaries. Originally, everything in the Nine Skyless Boundaries was empty, the heaven and the earth were empty. With the entry of Jiang Xuan and others, their thoughts flowed, and the Nine Skyless Boundaries would undergo various changes according to what the living beings thought in their hearts.

Glimpse into the past, present and future, and reflect the martial arts that you desire most in your heart.

For example, what Emperor Shitian saw was Nu Fenglei's Five Thunder Hand, where the dragon essence and the phoenix blood were in conflict. Now that Emperor Shitian had obtained the dragon essence, what he was most eager to do at this moment was to obtain the Five Thunder Hand to transform the phoenix blood in his body and then swallow the dragon essence, so that the two powers of the divine beasts would not conflict with each other.

For example, what the Xiao brothers saw were the Four Wonders of Hun Tian and the Ten Thousand Dao Sen Luo. The inheritance of both was incomplete, lacking the last move, and they were eager to perfect their magical skills.

Shenwu Yifu hoped to master the Red Fire Divine Art, a unique Japanese martial art that was extremely powerful. Practicing it to the eighth level would lead to the realm of martial arts legend. However, practicing this technique was extremely dangerous, as one had to endure the burning of flames at every step. The slightest mistake would result in both body and soul being destroyed. Most people's Red Fire Divine Art could only remain at the elementary stage throughout their lives. Further practice would require not only extremely high martial arts talent, but also a certain amount of luck.

To reach the last level, one needs to give up everything, burn the body with flames, and finally reach the highest level of Red Fire Divine Art - Nine Rebirths.

Shenwu Yifu hopes to gain the insights of Chihuo Yuanzu, the founder of Chihuo Divine Art, through Jiukong Wujie, and reach the highest level in one leap.

As for Jiang Xuan, what was reflected were his thoughts on his own path.

After he mastered the Eight Trigrams Furnace, he then mastered the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe and a Xian Xian Sword. The Eight Trigrams Furnace can refine heaven and earth, can refine magic weapons, can refine the essence of all things, and is the foundation for improving cultivation.

The Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe and the Xianjian Sword, one is for defense, the other is for unparalleled killing and attacking methods.

To this day, Jiang Xuan’s path of cultivation has become completely different from the Heaven-Covering Method.

Especially after he had mastered the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe that covered his entire body, Jiang Xuan had tried to practice the mysterious methods recorded in the Taoist scriptures, only to find that the essence of heaven and earth in the Sea of ​​Bitterness was like silt in a river, and the speed of clearing the Sea of ​​Bitterness was extremely slow.

The Taoist Scriptures are the supreme law of the Secret Realm of Wheel Sea, and the mysterious methods recorded in them are undisputedly the best in the world. However, they are now operating extremely slowly, which is incomparable with the previous speed of practice.

There is no problem with the Taoist scriptures, so the problem lies with Jiang Xuan himself.

The fusion of magic weapon and physical body will eventually change the physical body. Refining magic weapon in the body is equivalent to artificially creating "doors", which conflicts with the "doors" developed by the secret realm system in the method of covering the sky.

Jiang Xuan guessed that as the level of the body's magic weapon increased and the number of magic weapons increased, this conflict would become more intense, and eventually it might become completely impossible to practice the Heaven-Covering Method.

However, he was not worried about this situation. The speed at which he absorbed the essence of heaven and earth with the Eight Trigrams Furnace was no slower than that of practicing Taoist scriptures. If he refined the treasures of heaven and earth and converted them into spiritual nourishment, the speed would be a hundred times faster than usual.

Therefore, in terms of accumulating strength, Jiang Xuan has the more powerful Bagua Furnace as an alternative.

There are five secret realms in the Zhatian magic practice, namely, the Wheel Sea, the Dao Palace, the Four Poles, the Dragon Transformation, and the Immortal Platform. The emphasis is on constantly tapping into one's own potential and developing the divine treasures in the body.

The various divine bodies, hegemonic bodies, Taoist bodies, and holy bodies in the world of Shrouding the Heavens all have a gold mine hidden in their bodies. With a little development, they can achieve achievements that ordinary people cannot achieve in their lifetime. These special physiques are all outstanding in some aspect, either extraordinary combat power, or innate shortcuts to the Tao, with abilities beyond ordinary people, or being able to ride the speed of cultivation, and so on.

Jiang Xuan's smelting system is equivalent to autonomously building himself into a special physique. The Xianjian Sword is fused into his right arm, and with a flick of his finger, the scarlet sword energy harvests the world. Who among the people who cover the sky would not give him the name "Killing Sword Body" when seeing this?

With the Bagua furnace as its base, the magical powers were revealed. Who among the people who cover the sky would not exclaim in amazement at this, saying, "The furnace of heaven and earth is baking furnace," an ancient phenomenon.
But problems also arise. His "artificial physique" has serious imbalances.

The Xianjian Sword is a sword of pure spirit, energy and power, and it was forged with the nourishment of the sword world, making it extremely sharp; the material of the Purple Ribbon Fairy Robe is the magic stone of this world, which is also very magical; and the original form of the Eight Trigrams Furnace was just a spiritual magic weapon obtained from the Great Leiyin Temple, which pales in comparison with the previous two magic weapons.

During these days, although Jiang Xuan devoured the Xuanyuan Sword and the magic weapons obtained from Elder Han and others, and refined the essence and integrated it into the Bagua Furnace, it was still far behind the Xianjian Sword and the Zishou Immortal Robe.

The level of the Bagua furnace would severely limit the level of the magic weapon it could refine. If he got a supreme divine material, could he refine it with the fire of the Bagua furnace?
It is true that if Jiang Xuan's realm is high enough, ordinary materials can be transformed into magic, breaking through the limitations of materials. An ordinary hatchet can become a main artifact, a blade of grass can cut down the sun, moon and stars, and an ordinary Bagua furnace can also refine the heaven, earth and universe and become a real Bagua furnace.

But considering Jiang Xuan's current state, it would take him an unknown amount of time to reach this level.

And if Jiang Xuan fails to gain enough comprehension of the Xianjian Sword in the future, and instead focuses on other magic weapons as his realm improves, resulting in the inability to upgrade the grade of this magic weapon, will the Xianjian Sword eventually become a foil?

If one only refines one magic weapon, takes this magic weapon as the foundation, and only practices this way, then one person can be a magic weapon, and there will be no problem.

Jiang Xuan was naturally unwilling to take only one of the countless magic weapons. Moreover, if he did so, it would be impossible for him to achieve the same achievements as his predecessors by following their path. This was true in any world.

You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. When you are young, you have to be careful when walking on the road under your feet to reach the other side.

An endless river of magic weapons flowed beside Jiang Xuan, and countless magic weapons shone, colliding and blending with each other, bursting out runes one after another.

At this time, Jiang Xuan was gaining enlightenment, sitting in a long river of illusory magic weapons, his soul immersed in the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror, his hands forming seals that kept changing, which were the embodiment of his magical powers.

Densely packed symbols formed a storm, which was the manifestation of his spiritual light, interweaving and entwining like ripples.

Countless insights surged into his mind, and as the insights grew, Jiang Xuan's mastery of his own magic weapon became more and more perfect.

Purple air was rippling all around him, flames from the furnace were shooting up into the sky behind him, and a magic sword was hovering above his head.

The three forces intertwined, collided, and merged...

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xuan slowly opened his eyes. Countless mysteries flowed in his eyes, emitting an astonishing aura. It took a long time before he calmed down.

"It's done!"

Jiang Xuan felt a surge of joy in his heart. Today, his smelting system could be considered to have reached a high level.

The magic weapon refined with divine materials was integrated into the physical body. The improvement of the magic weapon's grade brought Jiang Xuan more insights into the Tao, which in turn led to the improvement of other magic weapons.

In this way, as time goes by, Jiang Xuan's improvement in any one aspect will be an all-round improvement.
