Chapter 3 Taiyi Refined Gold, Refining Treasures

In that instant, Taiwei's left eye transformed into a crystal-clear void, cold and ruthless, indifferent and lifeless, like the laws of the Great Dao, devoid of emotion, desire, selflessness, and ego.

In Taiwei's right eye, a five-colored radiance swirled like a rainbow, a magnificent sight, where joy, anger, sorrow, greed, hatred, delusion, and doubt all surged forth, diluting the indifferent expression on Taiwei's face.

"Fortunately, it's not too late. As long as I have a constant stream of emotions and desires to fill my heart, I can use the power of humanity to suppress the ever-spreading power of the Heavenly Dao's erosion. In this way, I can say that I have temporarily solved the big problem of the Dao Transformation Tribulation."

Taiwei wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead, looked at the scattered azure dragon scales all around, and with a wave of his sleeve, collected all the azure dragon scales into a small space opened up in his sleeve.

For Taiwei, creating a portable mustard seed space was not difficult at all; it was simply an instinct inherent in cultivators at the Celestial Immortal level.

After collecting all the azure dragon scales, Taiwei's yin and yang energies coalesced into an auspicious cloud beneath his feet, which slowly descended onto Xiyang Mountain, which was cracked with several huge fissures.

Near the summit of Xiyang Mountain, Taiwei found the cave that the Demon Tiger had originally carved out. Looking at the dark cave filled with a foul stench, Taiwei frowned, flicked his sleeve, and a gust of wind mixed with sparks of fire burned all the corpses and bones in the cave to ashes.

Surrounded by a layer of Yin-Yang mystic light, Taiwei entered the cave. After breaking through several simple fire-evil formations hidden in the cave, Taiwei arrived at the deepest part of the cave.

Here, Taiwei saw a large piece of platinum-colored, dazzling, radiating light like thousands of steel needles of Taiyi refined gold.

Although Taiyi Refined Gold is not the most top-tier divine gold in the primordial world, it is still considered extremely rare. Such a large piece of Taiyi Refined Gold is something that even ordinary Golden Immortal cultivators, let alone a Celestial Immortal like Taiwei, have probably never seen before.

The reason why the Demon Tiger was able to transform from an acquired black tiger into the nearly innate Dao True Fire Demon Tiger is because of this large piece of Taiyi Refined Gold.

It was this large piece of Taiyi refined gold that allowed the Demon Tiger to retain its limited intelligence after devouring a large number of divine beasts of heaven and earth.

In fact, if Taiwei hadn't suddenly intervened, the Azure Dragon in Luoxuan River would have been no match for the Demon Tiger. Even though the Azure Dragon's cultivation was stronger than the Demon Tiger's, the Demon Tiger's bones had long been tempered by Taiyi Refined Gold and were no weaker than ordinary Heaven and Earth Divine Gold.

The final result of the battle between the two divine beasts was that the Azure Dragon died, while the Demon Tiger was at most on the verge of death. The Azure Dragon's Azure Flame Yin Lightning could not break through the Demon Tiger's refined gold tiger bones that protected its internal organs and spiritual platform.

As Taiwei looked at the large piece of Taiyi refined gold, hundreds of azure dragon scales flew out from his sleeves one after another, like a set of fish scale armor, enveloping the Taiyi refined gold that was radiating countless dazzling divine lights.

The Azure Dragon belongs to water and is gentle in nature, while the Taiyi Refined Metal is hard, fierce, and indestructible. The two substances have exactly opposite natures and restrain each other.

Even with Taiwei's current cultivation at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm, attempting to forcibly subdue this Taiyi Refined Gold would be successful, but would inevitably result in a miserable and embarrassing situation.

At that time, in order to refine this piece of Taiyi refined gold, the demon tiger spent five hundred years refining it with its own blood essence day and night, finally making the Taiyi refined gold no longer resist its aura.

Although Taiwei's cultivation level is far superior to that of the Demon Tiger, it would still take at least several years to tame this piece of Taiyi Refined Gold. Taiwei has no patience to waste time on a dead object.

Just then, he was preparing to refine a protective magic weapon, using the scales of a blue dragon to wrap around Taiyi refined gold. The two were one hard and one soft, and the power that the Taiyi refined gold unleashed was just blocked by the blue dragon scales. The two were in harmony with the yin and yang.

Taiwei was also able to use the two divine objects, one hard and one soft, to refine magic treasures that suited his Yin-Yang Dao foundation. As for the slight imprint left by the Demon Tiger in the Taiyi Refined Gold, it had already vanished the moment the Demon Tiger died.

The azure scales completely covered the pure white Taiyi refined gold. Taiwei looked at the azure scale sphere that splashed up thousands of sparks, and the yin and yang energies at his fingertips transformed into swimming fish that flew out and circled the azure scale sphere.

The undulating Yin-Yang light slowly lifted the Azure Scale Orb, transforming it into a stream of light that plunged into the Luo Xuan River at the foot of Xiyang Mountain. Taiwei's figure also fell into the Luo Xuan River along with the falling Azure Scale Orb.

Water splashed as Taiwei trod on the waves, watching the sphere of green scales constantly rotating in the river. He spread his five fingers on his right hand, and amidst the entanglement of Yin and Yang energies, the lava fire and the blue water thunder slowly evolved.

The Demon Tiger's Lava Fire merged with the Azure Dragon's Azure Water Yin Thunder under Taiwei's control, forming a Azure Sky Thunderfire. The lightning and flames intertwined perfectly, transforming into a higher level of Heaven and Earth True Fire.

Taiwei flicked his finger, and the Heavenly Thunderfire burst forth with streaks of fire. The slender flames continuously bloomed and separated, like a slowly unfolding lotus flower enveloping the sphere of green scales.

Amidst the raging thunder and fire, hundreds of scales of the Azure Scale Sphere and a whole piece of Taiyi Refined Gold began to slowly melt.

As Taiwei watched the azure dragon scales of Taiyi refined gold gradually merge into one amidst the blazing thunder and fire, his divine sense transformed into strands of silk thread that pierced through the azure-white divine gold marrow, removing all impurities and turbid yin energy within it.

Taiwei chanted incantations, clenching his left hand with five fingers. The vast water vapor and spiritual energy of the Luoxuan River transformed into a five-colored spiritual energy that merged into the essence of the Azure-White Divine Gold, strengthening the Yin power within the Azure Dragon's scales and balancing the Vajra power within the Taiyi Refined Gold.

With his right index finger extended, Taiwei pointed down, and countless mysterious and ineffable crimson jade characters merged into the increasingly pure divine metal essence. A faint radiance condensed, and the pure water vapor in the entire Luoxuan River was drawn by Taiwei's own great power.

The power of the Taiyin star in the sky was drawn down by Taiwei. The power of Taiyin combined with the vast water vapor, and a drop of Taiyin True Water was created, falling onto the spiritual treasure embryo that was constantly being shaped.

Amidst the shimmering water, the essence of divine metal had completely solidified. Amidst countless fleeting crimson characters, a sheathed longsword slowly descended before Taiwei.

The maroon scabbard looked incredibly ancient, adorned with mysterious patterns of gold and purple. Taiwei held the scabbard with his left hand and the hilt with his right, and with a slight exertion, a burst of dark light burst forth from the scabbard.

As soon as it appeared, a vast sea of ​​stars was formed from countless sword lights. A dark dragon shadow roamed the sea of ​​stars, stirring the four poles with overwhelming power. It opened its mouth to swallow spiritual energy from all directions, and trailed behind it with brilliant starlight.
