The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

"Of course it's true!"

Li Yan's eyes flickered slightly.

He could sense an immense power contained within his frail body.

This is an immortal emperor who has reached the thirteenth level of perfection, and also a master craftsman in the art of forging.

"This is the Divine Craftsman of the Spirit Hammer."

Li Yan instantly understood the identity of the newcomer.

He opened a passage in his personal world, where he had placed the remains of the God, and the aura of the God's remains immediately revealed within.

Then he noticed that the short, red-bearded old man in front of him was looking at him with intense gaze.

"Good good!"

Through the world passage opened by Li Yan, the Divine Craftsman with the Spirit Hammer sensed the powerful aura of the divine remains within.

This is clearly a product of the fall of an extremely powerful Heavenly Dao God, and its quality is extraordinary.

So a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face, and he nodded repeatedly at Li Yan.

Li Yan raised an eyebrow, but he didn't know why the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman was so excited.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Qianyi of the world within his sleeve made a quick calculation in his mind and immediately transmitted his voice to Li Yan.

"Fellow Daoist Zhenyan, your timing is quite perfect!"

"This time, fellow Daoist, you might just snag a great deal!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yan's heart stirred, and he quickly asked, "What does Fellow Daoist Qian Yi mean by this?"

Emperor Qianyi didn't keep Li Yan in suspense. He smiled and explained, "I just deduced that the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman recently obtained an immortal divine material called Ancient Demon Source Blood, which is a powerful divine material that can be compared with the remains of a Divine Venerable."

"The reason why the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman is so excited is that he is currently looking for the remains of a God, and wants to use the characteristics of these two divine materials to create an unparalleled treasure that surpasses the top treasures in quality."

"If the forging laws cultivated by the Divine Craftsman of the Spirit Hammer can be successfully used to forge such a treasure, there is a great chance that he will advance to the fourteenth rank and become an Immortal Saint!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he already understood where the opportunity that Emperor Qianyi was referring to lay.

The remains of a deity are not something easy to obtain.

Firstly, they are rare, so finding them is not an easy task.

If it weren't for the Five Great Dao Lords, Li Yan would have had a hard time discovering the Heavenly Dao God Venerable in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm.

Secondly, even an Immortal Emperor who has reached the thirteenth level of ultimate power.

It's not necessarily possible to defeat an extraordinary immortal like the Heavenly Dao God.

Therefore, it would be difficult for the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman to find the remains of other deities in a short period of time.

Therefore, it is easy to imagine how strong the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman's desire was for the divine remains in Li Yan's possession.

The Spirit Hammer Master Craftsman seemed to realize he had been a little too excited, so he coughed lightly twice and his expression gradually calmed down.

"Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to trade the remains of a deity you possess to me?"

"I am willing to offer a top-tier treasure in exchange for the remains of a divine being."

The Spirit Hammer Master Craftsman spoke calmly, as if his earlier agitation had never existed.

The value of the divine relic in Li Yan's possession is roughly equivalent to that of a top-tier treasure.

However, the remains of a deity are merely materials, and refining them is extremely troublesome.

Transforming it into a top-tier treasure is not something anyone can do.

Therefore, if it were someone else, they would most likely agree to the Spirit Hammer Craftsman's condition.

But Li Yan naturally wouldn't agree so easily.

"I'm sorry, but I wish to ask the Divine Craftsman of the Spirit Hammer to integrate my divine remains into my flying sword, but I cannot grant the craftsman's wish."

Li Yan shook his head.

Even without Emperor Qianyi's reminder, he would never have used the remains of a divine being to exchange for a top-tier treasure.

After all, top-tier treasures can greatly enhance the strength of an immortal emperor.

However, it will still take some time to adjust.

As his natal flying sword, the Mo Yuan Sword contains the same sword dao laws as the sword dao laws he comprehended, making it the most suitable treasure.

However, there has always been a flaw in the material.

That's why he wanted to reforge the Mo Yuan Sword, incorporating it into the remains of the God, to make up for the shortcomings in the material.

Even if you use the remains of a deity to exchange for a top-tier treasure at the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman.

Firstly, it may not necessarily match the laws that Li Yan cultivates.

Secondly, even if the laws match, is it still more compatible than his natal flying sword, the Mo Yuan Sword?
Li Yan would never do something so foolish.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you think about it again? If one thing isn't enough, then two or three are fine to discuss!"

Upon hearing Li Yan's words, the Spirit Hammer Craftsman immediately panicked, and an anxious expression appeared on his face.

His own race is an ancient race from the Origin Realm, and he was born with the strength of the ninth rank, which is the rank of Great Emperor.

In addition, his mastery of forging techniques makes him even more skilled at forging treasures, so he rarely goes out.

In terms of interpersonal skills, they are naturally much worse.

Moreover, after he became famous, he was recognized as a master craftsman capable of creating treasures from the Origin Realm.

Even the most powerful immortal emperors must be treated with respect.

That's why I didn't develop any cunning or show my emotions on my face.

Seeing that Li Yan was unwilling to agree, he immediately became anxious.

The ancient demonic blood on his hands cannot be left for too long.

If we wait another tens of thousands of years, its grade might drop to the level of an ordinary heavy treasure.

By then, it will be even more impossible for him to refine supreme treasures.

Therefore, he naturally wouldn't let go of the divine relic in Li Yan's hands.

"If Fellow Daoist Zhenyan desires a precious sword, I can specially craft one for you in the future."

"I hope you, fellow Daoist, will grant me this divine remains!"

The Spirit Hammer Master Craftsman pleaded earnestly with Li Yan.

Li Yan sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist Lingchui, it is not that I intend to make things difficult for you. It's just that the flying sword in my hand is my natal flying sword, and it is already a top-tier treasure."

"It's just that the material itself is a bit weak, which is why I wanted to ask you to help me integrate the remains of the God Venerable."

"Therefore, I hope Fellow Daoist Lingchui can understand."

After thinking for a moment, Li Yan directly revealed the Mo Yuan Sword within his body.

The sharp aura of sword principles emanating from the Mo Yuan Sword immediately attracted the attention of the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman.

"What a sword!"

When the master craftsman saw the Ink Abyss Sword, his eyes widened in surprise, and he blurted out...

"Such material, yet it ranks among the top treasures. This is entirely due to the sword principles within this sword, and it also seems to possess a divine sword intent, making it even more rare!"

"If the material deficiency can be compensated for, it will surely become a top-tier Origin Realm treasure!"

As a master craftsman capable of creating top-tier treasures, the Spirit Hammer Master Craftsman possesses a far deeper understanding of these treasures than ordinary people.

He carefully examined the Mo Yuan Sword and immediately made an accurate judgment.

If it weren't for the limitations imposed by its material, its power would certainly be even greater.

A conflicted look appeared in the eyes of the Spirit Hammer Master Craftsman.

After seeing the Mo Yuan Sword, he finally understood why Li Yan was unwilling to give up the remains of the God.

Such a flying sword is an unparalleled treasure with immense potential.

Moreover, this flying sword is Li Yan's natal flying sword.

If someone else were to wield the Mo Yuan Sword, they could only unleash 80% of its power at most. But Li Yan could unleash 160% of its power.

This is something that other top-tier treasures can never reach.

If it were him, he would never hand over the remains of the deity.

There are very few source world divine materials of this rank that can compare to it.

Once integrated into the flying sword, it will definitely greatly increase the sword's power!

The master craftsman with the magic hammer was deeply conflicted.

He was not one to seize by force, but the remains of this deity were related to his path to enlightenment, so he couldn't help but be tempted.

The master craftsman pondered for a moment.

Upon seeing the Mo Yuan Sword once again, a thought suddenly struck him, and his eyes lit up.

"Fellow Daoist Zhenyan, I have a great opportunity to bestow upon you. Are you willing?"

"Please speak frankly, Fellow Daoist Lingchui."

Li Yan's heart stirred, and he immediately realized that the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman must want to talk to him about the Ancient Demon Source Blood.

as predicted.

The Divine Craftsman with the Spirit Hammer then spoke up, saying, "I currently possess a divine material that is extremely compatible with your divine remains, called Ancient Demon Source Blood."

"If we use these two as the main materials, there is a very high probability that we can forge a supreme treasure."

“This level of treasure is even comparable to a broken ordinary Origin Realm treasure.”

"That's why I want to exchange it for the remains of the deity in your possession."

“But since you’re unwilling to exchange right now, I have another way.”

"Looking at the flying sword in your hand, I see that its sword principles are sharp and it also has a special and mysterious sword intent. It can be considered a fine sword blank."

"Since you want to incorporate the remains of the God of War into it, and I want to refine it into an unparalleled treasure."

"Then I'll lend you this ancient demonic blood for now, and use these two divine materials as the main ingredients to reforge your flying sword!"

"In this way, we can both achieve our goals, shall we?"

The master craftsman with the magic hammer explained his plans in detail.

He only wanted to refine an unparalleled treasure, but the ultimate ownership of this unparalleled treasure did not necessarily have to come into his hands.

What is most important to him is the understanding of the laws of forging in the process of forging supreme treasures.

So, after realizing that Li Yan could not give up the remains of the God, he came up with this plan.

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Lingchui!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yan was naturally overjoyed.

If the Divine Craftsman of the Spirit Hammer succeeds, he will be able to upgrade the Ink Abyss Sword to the level of a supreme treasure, which will greatly improve his strength.

At that time, we might be able to enter the core area and search for innate cultivation techniques within the Origin Realm that allow us to practice the laws.

Li Yan is currently in the inner region and has not been able to gather any information. Even Emperor Qianyi knows very little about him.

But this matter concerns his future career, so he has already made plans.

After sending the five Dao Lords back to the True Realm, he set off for the core area of ​​the Origin Realm to search for cultivation techniques.

"Don't be in such a hurry to thank me. This Ancient Demon Source Blood is a divine material that I painstakingly found. How could I possibly give it to you so easily?"

"You must sign the Origin Realm Contract with me. After the treasure is refined, you must find a divine material worth the same as the Ancient Demon Origin Blood within 100,000 years."

"Otherwise, you'll have to pawn this flying sword to me!"

Although the Spirit Hammer Master Craftsman was dull-witted, he was not stupid.

He naturally wouldn't easily give up the ancient demon blood he had so painstakingly obtained to Li Yan to refine into a flying sword.

We must first get Li Yan to sign the Origin Realm Contract.

"it is good!"

Li Yan agreed without hesitation.

The Origin Realm Contract is extremely binding. Once signed, any violation of the contract will result in punishment from the Origin Realm.

Even a fourteenth-order Venerable Saint would find it difficult to escape the constraints of the Origin Realm Contract.

Back when Li Yan was in the Flying Star Islands Secret Realm in the Outer Domain, there was a tenth-order Great Emperor who wanted to use the special terrain there to force Li Yan to sign the Origin Realm Contract in order to bind him.

However, the emperor had no idea who he had provoked, and was later destroyed by Li Yan.

Although he signed the Origin Realm Contract, he still has to return a treasure to the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman within 100,000 years, one that is equivalent to the Ancient Demon Origin Blood.

But if the Mo Yuan Sword can be forged, he wouldn't refuse even if it were two or three divine materials, let alone just one.

After all, for him, ten thousand years from now, he will definitely advance to the fourteenth or even fifteenth rank.

At that time, a few divine materials will be utterly insignificant.

Improving the grade of the Mo Yuan Sword and increasing his combat power is his most important task right now.

Therefore, although Emperor Qianyi felt that the contract was somewhat harsh, he still planned to have Li Yan discuss it again.

But Li Yan readily agreed.

Seeing that Li Yan agreed, the Divine Craftsman of the Spirit Hammer nodded slightly, a satisfied look on his face.

With a wave of his hand, a contract radiating spiritual light landed in front of Li Yan.

Li Yan could sense that the moment the contract appeared, a gaze seemed to be directed at it.

He carefully examined the contents of the contract, and found that they were no different from what the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman had said.

However, just to be on the safe side, he asked Emperor Qianyi to take another look.

"Fellow Daoist Zhenyan, rest assured, the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman has an excellent reputation in the inner domain, and there are no loopholes in his work."

"However, if you cannot produce a divine material of equal value within the next 100,000 years, we will have no choice but to mortgage your natal flying sword to the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman."

"Although it is rumored that some level 14 experts can circumvent the constraints of the contract."

"But what is needed is extremely precious, even many times more precious than divine materials like the blood of the ancient demon source!"

Emperor Qianyi did not understand why Li Yan would agree to such a demanding request.

Ten thousand years may seem like a long time, but for an immortal emperor who is neither dead nor indestructible, it is just the time it takes to take a nap.

If Li Yan is willing to negotiate with the Spirit Hammer Master Craftsman, he could even increase this time by a hundredfold!
"It's alright, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Qianyi."

After thanking Emperor Qianyi, Li Yan immediately imprinted a wisp of his primordial spirit onto it.

In an instant, the contract radiating spiritual light vanished, merging directly into the depths of the Origin Realm.

This contract contains the primordial spirit aura of him and the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman. Whoever violates the contract will be punished by the Origin Realm.

This calamity is extraordinary; even a fourteenth-level Venerable Saint cannot withstand it.

However, Li Yan had no intention of breaking the contract, so the contract actually served as a form of protection for him.

If the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman dares to forge a flying sword and then fail to hand it over, or secretly adds any tricks to the flying sword, he will violate the contract and be punished by the Origin Realm.

In this way, Li Yan could rest assured to entrust the Mo Yuan Sword to the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman for forging.

The master craftsman of the Spirit Hammer was extremely satisfied with this.

He originally thought that Li Yan would not agree to the harsh conditions in the contract, and had already made plans to extend the time frame.

But to everyone's surprise, Li Yan agreed immediately.

In this way, if Li Yan is unable to fulfill the agreement in the future, he will have no choice but to mortgage the flying sword to him.

He will not only be able to recover his losses, but he will also make a fortune.

However, he didn't believe that Li Yan could find a divine material of equal value so easily.

Therefore, he was determined to have this flying sword!
The Spirit Hammer Craftsman pondered to himself that since the flying sword would most likely fall into his hands, he naturally had to be extremely careful.

All other precious refining materials needed must be the very best! (End of Chapter)
