In the depths of Undying Mountain, when the Supreme Beings chose to remain silent, they had actually revealed their stance.

After all, their opponent was a Great Accomplishment Saint Body in his twilight years!

The most terrifying thing wasn't Great Emperors battling Forbidden Zones of Life, but a late-stage Great Emperor wielding an Imperial Weapon.

Because they didn't have much time left to live, they had nothing to fear!

Killing one was breaking even, killing two was a profit!

It was the same logic for the Great Accomplishment Saint Body!

Facing an opponent who feared neither life nor death, who could guarantee they would retreat unscathed, rather than be dragged down with them?

Moreover, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's uncharacteristic display of strength clearly indicated something unusual was afoot!

Was this intentional, a trap? Or was it bait?

"Soon! According to our deductions, the correct time is drawing near!" one Supreme Being whispered.

Their lives were precious. They had waited for eons, yet had not seen the path to immortality open. How could they falter now?

Since they didn't have much time left anyway, why shouldn't they wait until the Great Accomplishment Saint Body was on the verge of death?

At that time, they could settle old scores and exact revenge. Could the Great Accomplishment Saint Body still defy the heavens then?

"Once the Saint Body falls, no one will be able to stop us!" another Supreme Being declared.

They had existed for too long. The erosion of time had pushed them to their limits; they could barely hold on.

They were eager to unleash a Great Dark Upheaval, using countless lives to perpetuate their own immortality.

Soon! It would be very soon!

At most, a few hundred years, and the Great Accomplishment Saint Body would surely reach his limit!

"Before then, didn't the Saint Body say his disciple lacked refining materials? Let's ensure he has no more disciples!"

The voice of this Supreme Being was chillingly cold, like ice that never melted, clearly still seething with anger.

It was understandable. They were peacefully slumbering when the Great Accomplishment Saint Body suddenly and recklessly barged into their homes.

His reason? His disciple was short on refining materials, and he happened to have some at their place, so he just broke in.

No matter who it was, they wouldn't stand for it, let alone a group of peerless, invincible powerhouses like themselves.

For the moment, they didn't want to engage in a fight to the death with the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, but his disciple would not be allowed to live.

Nine Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies had successively appeared. How could they permit another Saint Body to grow?

Upon returning to Sacred Cliff, Li Quan casually tossed something. Yang Qing quickly caught it, and his eyes widened at the first glance.

It was a stone the size of a washbasin, entirely emerald green, dotted with tear-like marks, dazzling and emitting a hazy glow.

This? Is this Immortal Tear Green Gold?

Immortal Tear Green Gold was one of the Immortal Golds, a peerless material for forging ultimate Imperial Weapons, rumored to be the tears of immortals.

The ultimate Imperial Weapon of Yaochi Holy Land, the West Emperor Pagoda, was forged by Empress West using Immortal Tear Green Gold, possessing world-shattering power.

Immortal Gold was incredibly rare, difficult to find even by searching the entire universe. Even a small piece was priceless.

A piece of Immortal Gold the size of a washbasin was a divine material without equal in the world. Its appearance anywhere would drive countless people mad.

With such a piece of Immortal Tear Green Gold, it would be more than enough to forge an ultimate Imperial Weapon.

His Master had barged into Undying Mountain and taken such a large piece of Immortal Tear Green Gold, and the Supreme Beings didn't go mad?

"Have you decided what kind of weapon you want to forge?" Li Quan asked.

He had witnessed Yang Qing's state under the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree and knew Li Quan's harvest this time would be substantial.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. He wondered if his disciple could surprise him, making his efforts worthwhile.

"I've decided! I plan to forge a sword!" Yang Qing replied.

Under the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, various weapons had appeared before him, resonating with him one by one.

At that time, he had cleared his mind of all distractions and, relying solely on his instincts, sensed that a sword was the most compatible with him.

"Why did you choose a sword?" Li Quan asked.

The choice of weapon was entirely personal. While its appearance was important, the forging process was even more crucial.

A simple weapon could be forged into a complex one, and a complex weapon could also be simplified.

"This world is too dark. I want to wield a sword to break through the heavens and carve out a bright and clear future!" Yang Qing said firmly.

The beings living in this era were unfortunate. Forbidden Zones of Life repeatedly revived, and Great Dark Upheavals occurred frequently.

Even with the successive emergence of nine Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies, they could only barely hold on, unable to completely quell the Great Dark Upheavals.

As a disciple of a Great Accomplishment Saint Body, his future was destined to involve battling the Supreme Beings. He wished to wield a sword to break through the darkness of the heavens.

"Good! Very good!" Li Quan's face was filled with relief.

No matter how far Yang Qing could go in the future, this ambition alone was enough to satisfy him.

The world called him the Human Saint Body, but he felt he didn't deserve it, as he was unable to pacify the Forbidden Zones of Life.

But he truly did his best!

What he couldn't accomplish, he could only leave to future generations. Though unwilling, he was filled with hope.

Perhaps one day, Yang Qing could truly inherit his will and accomplish what he couldn't.

Yang Qing remained silent. There were some things he didn't say. What he wanted to break through was far more than just the darkness of this era.

What he wanted to break through was the darkness that had shrouded the world for countless ages!

If the Forbidden Zones of Life weren't eliminated and the Supreme Beings weren't dead, the darkness that shrouded the world would never end!

One person, one sword, ascending to the heavens, breaking through the darkness, slaying all Supreme Beings, and eradicating the major Forbidden Zones of Life – that was his ultimate goal.

This was difficult, with almost no hope in sight, but even if a strong wind arises, I will ride the wind for ten thousand miles!

This was the biggest reason he chose the sword!

Yang Qing soon resumed his cultivation. He even extravagantly brewed a cup of tea using leaves from the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree.

After drinking it, his entire being became ethereal, his heart free from joy or sorrow. The Great Dao seemed to flow around him, making his thoughts surge like a spring.

Unknowingly, he had entered a deep state of cultivation, continuously refining Divine Patterns within the Sea of Suffering.

One, two, three. A total of forty-nine Divine Patterns were smelted together, forming a rough embryo.

Then came the meticulous carving, requiring repeated refinement of the Divine Patterns to gradually shape it into a true artifact.

One day, two days, three days. Yang Qing's eyes remained tightly shut, motionless!

If he hadn't taken the tea brewed from the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree leaves beforehand, he wouldn't have been able to sustain such a prolonged expenditure of mental energy.

A full seven days later, Yang Qing finally opened his eyes, a brilliant smile unconsciously appearing on his face.

It was done! He had forged his own artifact!

Although it was still a rough embryo, it had already taken initial shape and could barely be considered successfully forged.

Afterward, he looked at the Immortal Tear Green Gold. After the artifact took shape in the Sea of Suffering, the forging materials still needed to be smelted and fused with the artifact.

Li Quan watched Yang Qing silently, his expressionless face betraying no inner turmoil. He had been prepared long ago.

Forging an artifact successfully in seven days? It wasn't like proving Dao and becoming Emperor in seven days. What was there to be so surprised about?

"How many Divine Patterns did you refine?" Li Quan finally couldn't help but ask.
