Hei Fengshen's infinite deduction to become a saint

The Jade Disc of Creation flickered slightly, with countless runes flowing within it. After a breath, the Jade Disc of Creation dimmed again.

A message appeared in Li Changshou's mind.

The Five Elements Completion and Enhancement Mantra for Weapon Refining

This is not a method exclusive to weapon crafting, but rather an unorthodox method for increasing the power of magical artifacts.

Add materials to existing magical artifacts to further enhance their power.

Magical artifacts are categorized in the world of Investiture of the Gods.

The first level consists of magical artifacts and rare items.

Magical artifacts are crafted from special materials and contain various runes and restrictions. They rely on magical power to activate the runes or restrictions within the artifacts to unleash their powerful effects.

These are wondrous objects, born naturally from heaven and earth. They have no inherent magical restrictions within them, yet they possess some wondrous power. Their power is not comparable to various magical treasures or rare artifacts, but it can rival magical artifacts.

The second level is treasure, which is further divided into unorthodox treasures and magical treasures.

Unorthodox treasures are mostly crafted by unorthodox cultivators using various extreme methods. They usually come at a huge cost and have overly extreme effects.

Magical artifacts are treasures crafted by orthodox cultivators using various materials over a long period of time. They communicate with the mysterious ways of heaven and earth and possess astonishing power, but at a reasonable cost.

The third level consists of cave-suppressing magical treasures or ordinary innate items and treasures of merit.

The cave-suppressing magic treasure is a masterpiece among magic treasures. It has been baptized by the tribulation of heaven and earth, and its mysterious and unfathomable methods far surpass ordinary magic treasures. Each use consumes a huge amount of magic power, but the cost of use is reduced. However, the power can be amplified by increasing the cost.

Primordial things are born in accordance with the mysterious workings of heaven and earth, and are inherently mysterious, containing innate forbidden rules, which are divided into eighteen forbidden rules and thirty-six forbidden rules.

The treasure of merit, or the magic weapon, has been imbued with merit, and thus has certain other effects, such as suppressing fortune or killing without incurring karmic consequences.

The fourth level includes treasures for achieving enlightenment, supreme treasures, and supreme treasures of merit.

The Treasure of Enlightenment is the natal magic weapon of a sage who attains enlightenment and whose power is infinitely close to that of a supreme treasure.

These supreme treasures are almost all held by sages. Each one is innately formed and contains forty-nine forbidden items, making their power unimaginable.

The Treasure of Merit is a treasure formed from a massive amount of merit, which can only be formed from the merit accumulated during the creation of the world.

The Life-Stealing Hook and Soul-Severing Sword in Li Changshou's possession can actually be considered unorthodox treasures, but only the Form-Destroying Sword is a true magic weapon.

Li Changshou carefully analyzed the "Five Elements Completion and Enhancement Divine Mantra Refining Method," and in a short while, he knew how to use this refining method.

This weapon-refining technique is specifically designed for refining fragments of the Five-Colored Divine Stone and centipede beads; it simply cannot be refined using other materials.

"It's a niche approach, but it's enough."

A smile appeared on Li Changshou's lips as he raised the "Shangqing Burning Spirit Fire" in his hand.

With a wave of his left hand, the Soul-Severing Sword appeared before him.

The Soul-Severing Sword's blade is shaped like a snake's spine, and its hilt is shaped like a snake's head. Now, he will transform the fragments of the Five-Colored Divine Stone into liquid and inscribe the "Five Elements Revolving Incantation" on the sword's blade and hilt.

The five-colored divine stone fragments flew up and were scorched by the Spirit-Burning Fire.

The Burning Spirit Fire continued to compress, the dark red flames almost turning black, and the temperature had reached its limit.

With his internal magical power draining away, Li Changshou's expression turned solemn.

Melting the five-colored divine stone was no easy task; a full hour passed before the fragments began to melt.

The thumb-sized fragment of the five-colored divine stone eventually transformed into a clump of five-colored, flowing liquid.

With a thought, flames enveloped the Soul-Severing Sword, and the Centipede Bead appeared in his hand.

The centipede bead flashed and disappeared into the snake's mouth on the hilt of the Soul-Severing Sword. The five-colored liquid, drawn by the flames, quickly adhered to the sword.

Strange runes appeared one after another, covering the entire length of the sword from the tip to the hilt, from the spine to the centipede bead in the snake's mouth.

The Five Elements Revolving Wheel Incantation has a unique effect. It utilizes the rotational properties of the five elements to connect all things in the world, while simultaneously replenishing the five elements within a magical artifact, making the internal power of the artifact operate more perfectly.

As the flames burned, the spell came to a perfect end, and a wondrous fluctuation began to emanate from it.

The liquid from the five-colored divine stone fragments is seeping into the bone sword.

The runes seemed to become the lifeblood within the bone sword, connecting the bone sword and the centipede bead into one.

Two unorthodox practices involving the soul resonated within this five-colored network.

A profound, invisible power emanated from the sword, enveloping it, and the originally white bones began to turn transparent.

The network of colorful runes also became transparent under the influence of this mysterious power.

A wondrous energy is brewing within the Soul-Severing Sword.

Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky.

Rumble!

A huge flash of lightning, like a raging thunder dragon.

Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the sky in disbelief.

"Is this... a baptism of lightning?"

"The Soul-Severing Sword is actually going to be upgraded to a cave-guarding magic weapon?"

Overjoyed, he knew that if he succeeded, he would possess a magical treasure comparable to at least one Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

With a wave of his hand, the Soul-Severing Sword soared into the air.

A bolt of lightning crashed down from the sky, striking the Soul-Severing Sword with pinpoint accuracy.

Rumble

The lightning completely engulfed the Soul-Severing Sword, and Li Changshou could feel the Soul-Severing Sword undergoing a transformation under the impact of the lightning.

He glanced around. "We still need to be careful. Such a commotion might attract unwanted attention."

The thunderclap covered an area of ​​several miles, and the enormous thunder attracted countless mountain monsters to hide.

At that moment, a streak of light suddenly rose from a distant mountain peak.

This was an old Taoist priest with disheveled hair, eyes as black as an abyss, and a strange, bloody aura emanating from him. Below his neck, there were some eerie, tiny human-faced sores that were visible to the naked eye.

The clothes he wore also seemed to be made of strange, magical leather, and his eyes flickered with surprise and uncertainty. "A tribulation of lightning? Could someone be undergoing tribulation here to become an immortal?"

Excitement flashed in his eyes, transforming into a gust of cold wind that silently rushed towards the location of the tribulation.

This person is called Tide Old Monster, a fierce unorthodox Nascent Soul cultivator who is enshrined in the Yangzhou Marquis's court.

Today he came to the mountains to find some materials to refine the third unorthodox treasure in his possession.

In just a few breaths, he had already entered the range of the lightning tribulation.

A strange light flickered in his dark eyes, and he could see the center of the lightning tribulation from afar.

The gleaming Soul-Severing Sword caught his eye. "A magical artifact baptism; this is a cave-suppressing artifact."

He could hardly believe it, a thoughtful expression on his face. "How is this possible? Who came from here? To actually forge a cave-suppressing magic treasure?"

A strange look appeared in his eyes, and he continued to search, soon noticing Li Changshou's figure.

He glanced at it and his heart skipped a beat. "A true immortal?"

He averted his gaze, not daring to look any longer, not wanting to attract Li Changshou's attention.

His expression shifted rapidly. "So what if I'm a true immortal? As long as I can get this treasure, I can become an immortal too."

With a fierce glint in his eyes, he quickly approached Li Changshou.

Arriving a dozen or so feet away from Li Changshou, he stopped approaching and instead pulled out nine palm-sized nails from his robes. (Note: In the original Investiture of the Gods setting, there is no divine sense; the difference in perception between cultivators and mortals is minimal. Only specific supernatural abilities and spells can search for and perceive people within a certain range. This book's basic setting follows the original Investiture of the Gods.)

This is the Nine-Aperture Blood Nail, which he created by sacrificing hundreds of coffins and corpses.

Once immobilized, they will immediately die from pus and blood.

In addition, these nine nails can also form an array, making them his most prized treasure for murder and robbery.

He quietly circled around Li Changshou and drove nine nails into an area of ​​twenty feet in radius.

He muttered incantations, and the strange spells activated the nine nails, causing an invisible ripple to quietly envelop Li Changshou.
