Refining, Chaotic Marvelous Treasure!

"A Chaos Treasure?"

Although Zhou Hao had anticipated this, his breathing still became rapid.

What is a Chaos Treasure?

That was an extremely powerful treasure that surpassed the limits of innate spiritual treasures and contained chaotic restrictions.

If we consider innate spiritual treasures as true gods and immortals, then chaotic treasures are like Ancestor God Ancestor Immortal among magical treasures; they are not even on the same level.

Take the True God Dao Ancestor who came to the Limitless Palace for the banquet this time, for example. The vast majority of them did not have Chaos Treasures. Only a few of them, who had reached the top level of strength and had great backgrounds and opportunities, had the chance to obtain Chaos Treasures.

no way.

In the Three Realms, there is absolutely no one who can refine Chaos Treasures.

All of these things that exist are obtained by leaders and powerful beings such as the Sanqing Rulai, or those top True God Dao Ancestor who are infinitely close to being comparable to leaders, through adventures in the chaos.

Wow~~~

A flag, about 1.7 feet long and dark yellow in color, floated in the air.

Upon closer inspection, Zhou Hao noticed that the banner was made of an unknown material. On the dark yellow banner cloth, there were faint golden threads that outlined countless golden lotus patterns.

"This treasure is called the ' Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner,' and it contains five layers of chaotic restrictions. Among the rare treasures of chaos, it can barely be considered a top-grade one," the Sanqing Ones said.

"The Fivefold Chaos Restriction: Once you refine the first layer, you can release three golden lotuses to protect yourself. Each golden lotus is no less than a supreme innate treasure, and even ordinary True God Dao Ancestor would find it difficult to break."

"Refining the second layer of restrictions not only increases the number of golden lotuses to nine, making the protective power even stronger, but it can also form a nine-palace formation, which is also very effective in trapping and binding enemies."

"The third and fourth layers of restrictions only increase the number of golden lotuses, enhancing their protective and enemy-trapping abilities, which is nothing special. However, if all five layers of chaotic restrictions are refined, one can manifest endless golden lotuses at will. Even if I personally set up the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, it cannot be broken unless my three avatars join forces, making it truly impervious to all magic."

Sanqing spoke, a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

This Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner is arguably the strongest magic weapon I possess besides the Immortal-Slaying Four Swords and the array diagram.

It was because of it that I dared to explore freely in the chaos, and dared to venture into unknown and dangerous places in the chaos.

If it were any other disciple, even Lü Dongbin, whom he valued most and who had been bestowed the ' Green Duckweed Sword Sword' upon at the True Immortal realm, he would not easily be willing to grant him the Apricot Yellow Banner.

But the younger Changsheng is different.

Whether it was the tender affection of raising a child in the mortal world or the expectation for Zhou Hao's innate extraordinary talent, the Sanqing Ones, after careful consideration, chose to bestow this protective treasure upon him.

"Disciple thanks Master." Zhou Hao knelt down and kowtowed.

"Get up. Refine this first layer of restriction first, otherwise you won't be able to take it away," the Sanqing said with a smile.

"Yes."

With a thought, Zhou Hao directly enveloped the Apricot Yellow Banner with his pure Yang magic power. The golden threads on the surface of the banner immediately appeared, forming golden Divine Pattern that floated and flowed in the air.

Moreover, those Divine Pattern constantly changed as they flowed.

No matter when you look at it, the Divine Pattern are different from before.

"So complicated..." Zhou Hao gasped.

"Truly worthy of being called a Chaos Restriction!"

This was his first encounter with the Chaos Restriction.

As for the Nine-Layer Chaos Restriction that were originally present on his arm, since he had not cultivated at that time, he always thought it was a natural tattoo.

Later, although he continued his cultivation, the nine layers of restrictions disappeared, and he turned into Blue Flower.

Therefore, the chaotic restrictions within this Apricot Yellow Banner were the first time he had ever truly come into contact with them.

Looking at the ever-evolving, seemingly endless restriction, Zhou Hao suddenly recalled the restriction patterns he had deciphered when refining the Heaven-Earth Spirit Mirror.

Although the complexity of the runes on the Heaven and Heaven-Earth Spirit Mirror is far less than that of the Chaos Restriction, and it also has well-preserved patterns of rune transformation to guide those who comprehend it, it is precisely the guidance left by the rune creator on the Heaven and Heaven-Earth Spirit Mirror that made Zhou Hao think about how to begin refining the Chaos Restriction.

"It should be like this, like this." Zhou Hao focused his mind, his consciousness seemingly becoming his own hand, constantly manipulating and outlining the flowing and changing divine Divine Pattern of the restriction before him.

It turns out that this chaotic restriction is like an endless, unpredictable number. If you can't grasp its essence, even if you study it for eternity, you still won't see any mystery.

However, if one can grasp the essential core of the restriction through the flowing and changing Divine Pattern, and then use this essential core to deduce the changes in the Divine Pattern, one can comprehend its true core origin.

"Incredible!"

"This is only the first layer of restrictions, yet it's already so profound." Zhou Hao was completely absorbed in it.

He saw that the core essence of the first level of the restrictive Divine Pattern belonged to the earth element.

Even the very first layer of the restriction, in its vast and profound mystery, is already no less mysterious than a 'Great Earth Path'.

"Fortunately, one only needs to grasp the most basic and superficial essence to refine it."

"Otherwise, one would probably need to completely comprehend and master the entire Earth Element Great Dao before fully understanding the core essence of the first level of this restrictive Divine Pattern."

Although he had comprehended quite a few 'Dao' principles, he was not truly proficient in the Earth element lineage; he only grasped some 'minor Dao' principles.

However, he only needs simple refining to enable him to control the magic weapon and unleash its power; his requirements are not that high.

With his current level of cultivation, especially his powerful spiritual energy, it's just that he needs a little more time than someone who excels in the Earth element.

Buzz~~~

The chaotic Divine Pattern floating on the surface of the Apricot Yellow Banner trembled, and strange Divine Pattern gradually began to flow in Zhou Hao's eyes.

The Sanqing watched silently from the side, and when they saw that Zhou Hao had already begun refining, they nodded with satisfaction.

"With this treasure protecting him, even if the Wujian Gate sends out its leaders and powerful figures to assassinate him, Changsheng should be fine and won't be left without reinforcements."

Ultimately, the Sanqing never truly trusted the Wujian Gate.

Wind Demon promised not to target Zhou Hao anymore.

Is such a promise effective?

If promises were effective, why would the two sides fight to the death, with the fight only ending when one side is completely annihilated?

Call!

The figures of the Sanqing Ones disappeared from the quiet room, leaving Zhou Hao alone to refine the Apricot Yellow Banner.

Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

That day.

The Apricot Yellow Banner that had been hovering in the air suddenly trembled, and all the Divine Pattern that had appeared retreated back to the surface of the banner. Then the Apricot Yellow Banner slowly fell down and was caught by Zhou Hao.

Wow~~~

As Zhou Hao unfurled the banner in his hand, three enormous golden lotuses appeared around him, able to move and grow larger at will.

"Protect." Zhou Hao's heart stirred.

Suddenly, a golden lotus appeared above his head, emanating a hazy golden light that enveloped him, while two other golden lotuses protected him from the front and back.

Brush!

Zhou Hao, clad in black, appeared out of thin air, then unleashed the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, transforming it into a streak of blood-red light that slashed towards his true form.

The golden lotus that had been slowly floating and rotating in front of him immediately came to meet him.

puff.

A muffled thud.

The Blood-Transforming Divine Blade seemed to be slashing not at a golden lotus, but at a mountain.

The blade light, powerful enough to strike with the full force of an ordinary Dao Ancestor, only caused the golden lotus to pause slightly before it simply spun around and flung away the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade.

However, the immense power contained within the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade was not transmitted to Zhou Hao's true form at all.

Even the ripples in the air were completely imperceptible to Zhou Hao under the golden light emanating from the golden lotus above his head.

"What a treasure, what a treasure." Zhou Hao smiled with satisfaction, dispelling the three golden lotuses that protected him and storing the Apricot Yellow Banner in his golden core space to nurture it.

He has only just refined it. As the master nurtures it for a longer period of time, the magic weapon will become more spiritual and wondrous, and easier to control.

After testing the power of the Apricot Yellow Banner, the black-robed clone returned to the Immortal Mansion. Zhou Hao did some calculations and realized that it had taken him five days to refine the magic weapon.

"No wonder Master left first." Zhou Hao looked at the empty cloud bed in the quiet room and felt a little annoyed.

If I had refined it faster, perhaps my master wouldn't have left so soon, and I could have spent more time talking with him.

"I still need to cultivate more and improve my strength as soon as possible. Only when I completely end the chaos Wujian Gate can my master relax and live a more leisurely and comfortable life," Zhou Hao thought to himself.

Faced with the great calamity, although the lower-level immortals and demons were constantly in danger of death, Zhou Hao knew that the greatest pressure was on his master, Rulai, and the other powerful leaders of Nuwa Faction.

After all, an ordinary immortal or demon might only lose their own life if they make a mistake, but if a leader or powerful being makes a mistake, at best they will lose a great world, and at worst an entire realm, countless immortals and demons, or even all living beings in the Three Realms.

As Zhou Hao moved the two women, Liu Yu and Yun Yuchan, who had already woken up, out of the Immortal Mansion after leaving the quiet room, he Earth Elder rushing over.

"Your Majesty," the Earth Elder bowed respectfully.

Originally, after Zhou Hao refined the Earth Book, the Earth Elder was supposed to address him as Master.

Zhou Hao simply believed that since the Earth Elder had already cultivated from a spirit of a magical treasure into a true living being, there was no need to address it as master anymore.

The Earth Elder then followed the other true immortals and gods in the Limitless Palace, addressing them with the respect due to an emperor.

"What is it?" Zhou Hao asked.

"This is a list of gifts given by the guests who attended the banquet," the Earth Elder respectfully, handing over a scroll.

"Oh?" Zhou Hao reached out and took it, and Liu Yu and Yun Yuchan also came over to look.

After all, there were dozens of powerful figures present, and they were curious to know how extravagant the True God Dao Ancestor were when they interacted.

Looking at the unfolded scroll, which listed the gifts from various powerful figures, Liu Yu asked with some doubt, "There don't seem to be any particularly amazing treasures."

Admittedly, spiritual materials and medicines such as the Returning Void Coldwater, Fire Essence Mysterious Gold, Yin-Yang Mysterious Stone, and Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud Mushroom are already extremely rare treasures for ordinary immortals and demons.

At best, its value is no more than a top-grade pure yang magic weapon.

Compared to the status of these True God Dao Ancestor, it really is nothing.

"Do you think everyone is like the Human Emperor, able to conjure up peerless treasures that surpass the level of True Water and True Fire with a single move?" Zhou Hao laughed. "We're all True God Dao Ancestor. If we get along, we can exchange ideas more in the future. If not, we can just attend a banquet and save face."

"Besides, if they offer really generous gifts, I'd have to dare accept them. Otherwise, how would I repay the favor later?"

"It's better to keep it simple, just right, not too much, not too little."

"I was mistaken," Liu Yu nodded. "Before, since we couldn't see them, we always thought that the True God Dao Ancestor were high above us, like clay or wooden statues, untouched by worldly affairs and indifferent to worldly changes. In fact, even the most powerful beings are living beings."

"Yeah," Zhou Hao casually agreed, his gaze gradually shifting downwards.

When they saw the gifts offered by the gods and immortals, their value suddenly increased.

Almost every gift presented by the gods and immortals who came was worth at least as much as a top-grade pure yang magic weapon.

Some powerful worlds and tribes would give gifts worth as much as two or three top-grade pure yang magic treasures.

"They've certainly gone to great lengths for them." Zhou Hao didn't need to think about it; he already understood the thoughts of those lords of the great worlds and tribes.

They just wanted to become familiar with their faces so that they could remember their names.

Perhaps I can lend a helping hand when someone is in trouble in the future.

What is a huge deal to celestial gods and immortals may be just a matter of lifting a finger to someone with the strength of a top-tier Dao Ancestor.

Then, a familiar name came into view.

"Xia Mang Tang?" Zhou Hao murmured to himself, "Didn't the Xia Emperor already send a gift? Why did this Third Prince send a separate one?"

On the gift list, Xia Mang Tang's name appeared after Xia Emperor's. Although the gift he presented was only a pure Yang-grade magic weapon, it was not particularly eye-catching among the gods and immortals.

However, for Xia Mang Tang, who was only at the half-step Pure Yang realm, a Pure Yang top-grade magic weapon was probably worth most of his fortune.

"Earth Elder, go and bring Xia Mang Tang, the Spirit Sword, and the Windfire. Also, summon Yu Lin."

When Zhou Hao's consciousness enveloped the entire Perching Dragon Gorge, he had already 'seen' that Xia Mang Tang and the two Mysterious Heaven Sect Spirit Sword and Windfire, from the Xuantian Sect were still inside the valley.

Seeing Xia Mang Tang's name on the gift list again, I decided to meet him.

Second update.

I have something to do tomorrow night, so I'll write this tonight and update it tomorrow.
