Qing Xuanzi felt that Yang Mei was not easy to kill this time. He was like an unkillable cockroach.
You would just blow him apart here, and he would emerge over there.
Even so, it could have worked before. They could wear him down slowly; eventually, he would exhaust himself.
But not now.
The saints over there clearly could not hold out much longer.
Xing Chen and Lu Ya had figured it out. These people were here solely to hold the two of them back.
So that after Qing Xuanzi destroyed Yang Mei, he could come deal with them.
Thus, every move they made was lethal.
Hongjun might have been doing somewhat better, since he still had a solid foundation.
But the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa were in rather dire straits.
The dozens of Dao bodies had just surrounded them when they were dismissed with a single move.
If Hongjun had not occasionally lent them a hand, the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa would have collapsed long ago.
Qing Xuanzi frowned. This would not do.
Before they even destroyed Yang Mei, the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa would probably be killed by them.
"Master, the Creation Jade Disc is a Chaos Treasure. Although it is damaged, those few cannot break it open.
"Why not trap them first, then deal with them at our leisure?"
Qing Xuanzi sent Hongjun a transmission, signaling that they should change tactics.
Hongjun glanced toward Qing Xuanzi and saw that the battle on his side was not going very well either.
He gave an almost imperceptible nod.
A green radiance burst from Hongjun's body and instantly enveloped everyone present.
Everyone felt the scene shift, replaced by a vast green ocean world.
"The Creation Jade Disc." Lu Ya's expression changed in alarm, but he quickly calmed himself. "Are you planning to trap us here until we die?"
Qing Xuanzi sneered. "As if. This is the Creation Jade Disc Space. We are letting you comprehend the Dao inside."
Xing Chen, however, revealed a greedy gaze as he looked upon the boundless green world and let out a sinister chuckle.
"How about we make a deal? You can trap us here, and we promise not to run. How does that sound?"
"It does not. Senior brothers, please lend me your treasures." Laozi and Yuanshi knew what Qing Xuanzi intended to do.
They too wanted to see whether it could succeed, so they readily handed the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner to Qing Xuanzi.
"This is bad." Lu Ya seemed to have thought of something and cried out.
"Master." Qing Xuanzi looked at Hongjun.
"Trap." With Hongjun's single word, the boundless ocean wrapped around Yang Mei and the others.
Xing Chen was overjoyed. "Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Hongjun truly understands."
"You idiot! Qing Xuanzi is definitely forging the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe over there. His countless incarnations are extremely bizarre.
"If he gains the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe's aid, you will be in grave danger."
The moment Qing Xuanzi asked for the Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner, Lu Ya had already realized this. He could not help cursing Xing Chen for being an idiot.
Before Qing Xuanzi floated the three Heaven-Opening treasures: the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Chaos Clock.
Qing Xuanzi was pondering how to begin.
"Qing Xuanzi, can it be done?" Nüwa was somewhat anxious. Among them, only Qing Xuanzi had the ability to deal with those people.
Although the few saints had already attained the Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, they had cultivated for too short a time and lacked sufficient attainment.
They could not threaten those enemies at all. On the contrary, they were practically offering up their heads.
"It should be possible. After all, Senior Brother Yuanshi's weapon-crafting methods were passed down from Great God Pangu."
Qing Xuanzi's words nearly made them faint. Damn it, so he was not even confident.
And he was planning to use Yuanshi's weapon-crafting methods. This was getting absurd.
Yuanshi especially felt that he might die here today if things went wrong.
Who could have expected Qing Xuanzi to be so unreliable? He even claimed that the Dao of Weapon Crafting came from Father God.
Damn it, even I do not know how to turn them into the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe.
"Qing Xuanzi, are you serious?" Laozi also sensed that something was wrong. He knew his second brother's abilities extremely well.
How could this possibly work?
"Yes. I think Senior Brother Yuanshi's Dao of Weapon Crafting is excellent."
Seeing Qing Xuanzi answer so seriously, the saints dearly wanted to go over and smack him a few times.
But considering that they would more likely be the ones beaten up, they could only grit their teeth in frustration.
"Well, Junior Brother Qing Xuanzi, although I believe what you said is quite right, you have had too little time."
Yuanshi felt somewhat embarrassed by Qing Xuanzi's praise, though he thought the same himself.
But turning them into the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe was clearly impossible, was it not?
"Qing Xuanzi, do not listen to Second Brother's nonsense. Let us think of another solution."
Tongtian was rather blunt. He directly exposed Yuanshi for showing off, and Yuanshi's face darkened.
His Jade Ruyi flew toward Tongtian's forehead.
Tongtian effortlessly knocked the Jade Ruyi away, since Yuanshi had not used any strength at all.
However, both of their expressions changed.
Because Qing Xuanzi had begun.
No one knew what talisman he had drawn, but a flame rose up and directly began roasting the Heaven-Opening Three Treasures.
The Heaven-Opening Three Treasures actually began to show signs of melting.
This was truly astonishing. What kind of fire was this? Laozi's eyes gleamed. If this fire were used for alchemy, its effects would surely be incredible.
Then Laozi suddenly shouted, "Junior Brother, be careful! If you burn them, those are three supreme treasures!"
Laozi's heart ached terribly. It was not really that he feared Qing Xuanzi would ruin the treasures.
He was only worried whether they could still be separated after Qing Xuanzi did this.
If they could not be separated, then his treasure would be gone. That would be an unbearable loss, a truly ruinous loss.
Yuanshi also widened his eyes. With this fire, it might truly succeed.
He was a master weapon refiner and knew that weapon crafting required three elements: fire, materials, and talismans.
If Qing Xuanzi wanted to merge them into the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, the materials were absolutely not a problem. They were originally one whole.
What was lacking were fire and talismans. Now that Qing Xuanzi had produced this fire, the matter was already half accomplished.
The only question was what kind of talisman he would use. Yuanshi himself did not seem to have any good ideas.
If Qing Xuanzi could use an appropriate talisman, then this would definitely succeed.
If it succeeded, Qing Xuanzi's weapon-crafting skill would surpass his own.
This talent was too terrifying. In less than a hundred thousand years, he had even learned Yuanshi's signature craft.
Hm? What talisman was this? Yuanshi saw Qing Xuanzi use a talisman.
It resembled a Divine Man Talisman somewhat, yet it was not one. It also carried traces of a Ruyi Talisman.
This was too damn impressive. He had actually devised such a talisman. Yuanshi was completely convinced.
One had to know that creating a weapon-crafting talisman from scratch was basically impossible.
Yet anyone who managed to create one was a master-level weapon refiner.
And this was even a weapon-crafting talisman for a top-grade divine artifact. Yuanshi felt that his entire worldview had been shattered.
So Father God Pangu was not the only one capable of creating refining talismans. Qing Xuanzi could do it too.
As expected of a monstrous genius whose flower bloomed with Thirty-six Petals. From this day onward, the title of the greatest weapon refiner in the primordial world would have to change hands.
He would have to give up his position too.
