A Thousand-Zhang Demon Colossus, Nascent Soul Perfection! De Ling's Choice, a Chance Encounter with Spirit Transformation! "Last Day of Double Rewards!"

Two weeks later.

The Xu Residence.

Top Cultivation Chamber.

Chongyuan had been in seclusion here for seven or eight years, and now a sharp whistle echoed in the Cultivation Chamber.

However, each Cultivation Chamber is protected by Grand Formation that isolates all movement.

Therefore, virtually no one knows what's going on inside.

Except for Xu Chuan.

Fourth-Tier Grand Formation cannot withstand the true Divine Sense Spirit Transformation.

However, the moment Xu Chuan's Divine Sense swept over him, Chongyuan reverted from his Demon Beast form to human form.

"Who dares to spy on me!"

"No, Xu Chuan, it's you!"

"Your Divine Sense has actually broken through! Could it be that your Nascent Soul has Transformation into Primordial Spirit?"

"It was just luck."

Xu Chuan's voice rang out in the Cultivation Chamber.

"Just luck?" Chongyuan said, "Even in ancient times, there weren't many resources that could allow a single Infant's divine consciousness to break through its limits."

Moreover, in this era, breaking through to the Spirit Transformation is more than ten times more difficult than in High Antiquity.

This also includes breakthroughs in the Cultivation Realm, Law Power, Physical Body, and Divine Sense.

"Daoist Chong Yuan, how curious!"

After a moment of silence, Chongyuan said, "Ultimately, it's your Xu Household's own fortuitous opportunity; I have no interest in knowing about it."

"Congratulations, Daoist Chong Yuan, on breaking through to the Transformation Late Stage and regaining some of your Divine Ability."

"I imagine that when he Transformation Peak, even if he truly Spirit Transformation, he will still be able to put up a fight."

Chongyuan didn't say much, only stating, "After some time, I will be taking De Ling away for a while."

"Please make yourself at home, fellow Daoist."

Afterwards, Xu Chuan did not disturb Chongyuan's consolidation of his Cultivation Realm and withdrew his Divine Sense.

"He is truly a genius, able to condense his Primordial Spirit ahead of time in this era."

Even those few Fifth Tier Pill that are effective in this area wouldn't be enough.

While there may still be hope for breakthroughs in realm, breaking through the limits of magical power, physical body, and divine consciousness is more difficult than breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, with such a foundation...

His path to Spirit Transformation is almost certain to succeed; the only question is whether he can withstand the wrath of heaven and the calamities of humankind.

Thinking of this, Chongyuan frowned slightly again, "By the way, what kind of Dharma Form inheritance does Xu Chuan cultivate?"

De Ling seems to have never mentioned it either.

A short while later.

He stopped worrying and, after several days of seclusion, officially emerged from his retreat.

Xu Deling was overjoyed.

"De Ling, your Karmic Flame Divine Ability is not far from reaching perfection, is it?"

"About two or three more years."

What if we only cultivate one type?

"Within that year."

"Then for the next year, you will focus solely on Karmic Flame Divine Ability."

Why?

"I will take you to retrieve my remains, and then use them to ignite the fire of Nirvana, to aid us in our three Nirvana."

Transformation to the Spirit Transformation Bloodline.

If successful, you will be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage directly.

Of course, Nirvana is always a matter of life and death; do you dare to try?

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Xu Deling smiled gently, "It won't be easy to catch up with Grandfather's pace."

And behind them were little guys like Chongxi, Zhao Yuan, and Zhaoheng chasing after them.

If I am content with the status quo, my future achievements will be limited.

"This is the Xu Deling I know!" Chongyuan. "Then this year, you will focus all your efforts on cultivating the Karmic Flame Divine Ability."

"It is possible, but why this Divine Ability, and not the Vermilion Bird Dharma Form Divine Ability?"

"Karmic Flame involves a trace of cause and effect, while Nirvana is the shedding of the old body and the condensation of new life. The perfected Karmic Flame Divine Ability may increase your attainment by a trace."

Opportunity to succeed.

I believe you!

Xu Deling didn't say much, but smiled and uttered three words.

"Grandfather has already mastered his Law Treasure, and there's no further progress in his Artifact Refining Path for the time being. So, as you suggested, he should focus all his efforts on cultivating the 'Vermilion Bird Karma Flame.'"

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Deling successfully cultivated the "Vermilion Bird Karma Flame" to perfection, making his strength increasingly unfathomable.

Even when facing Great Cultivator like Li Qianyu, who has condensed Dharma Form Phantom, he can hold his own.

His Divine Ability were fully developed.

Xu Deling then bid farewell to Xu Chuan and left.

They naturally went to the Heavenforged Sect.

"Master Phoenix Plume!"

"Elder Phoenix Plume!"

Along the way, many Heavenforged Sect Disciple bowed respectfully to Xu Deling.

Xu Deling is a legend of the Heavenforged Sect.

Even though she was away for a long time, she was still respected by countless disciples.

The back of the Main Peak.

"Disciple De Ling greets Grand Master and Second Master."

Flame Dragon stroked his beard and smiled faintly, "What brings you here?"

"I've come to pay my respects to my two Masters, and I'd also like to visit the Flame Phoenix Blood Pool."

True Sun asked in surprise, "Ever since you came out of the Flame Phoenix Blood Pool, the energy there has become increasingly thin."

What are you going there for?

"Please allow me Master."

Seeing Xu Deling's seriousness, True Sun said, "Alright, I'll have my junior brother take you there later."

"Thank you, Master. How have Master both been lately?"

"Don't worry, everything is fine. Even out of respect for your Xu Household, no force would dare to provoke us."

"If you encounter any trouble, feel free to come to the Xu Household and find our disciple."

Flame Dragon looked at Xu Deling with a hint of melancholy in his eyes, "In the blink of an eye, that little girl from back then has now caught up with us in cultivation."

"I will always remember the teachings of De Ling two Master over the years."

"Cultivate diligently and strive to surpass us two old men."

Half an hour later.

Flame Dragon led Xu Deling there.

"You may enter the blood pool yourself; I will return."

"Thank you for your help, Master."

At this moment, the Flame Phoenix Blood Pool was almost devoid of color, resembling clear, watery soup.

However, the pool water temperature was still quite high, and bubbles occasionally rose from the pool.

Xu Deling entered the Flame Phoenix Blood Pool.

A flash of crimson light appeared in the Spirit Beast Pouch, revealing Chongyuan.

He didn't say much, only calmly stating, "Come with me."

The two quickly descended to the bottom of the pool.

Then it encountered a thin film.

Chongyuan forced out a drop of his True Blood. The True Blood touched the membrane and then melted to create an entrance.

"Go in."

The words had barely left his mouth.

The two used their Escape Light to quickly pass through the entrance.

In just a few breaths, the original entrance was restored.

Behind the membrane was a separate space, where Fire Element Spiritual Qi was exceptionally abundant.

In the middle is a colossal creature, thousands of feet tall.

This space is...

"That's right. This place was created by my original self using Law Power, precisely to store my remains and prevent others from coveting them."

Xu Deling examined the skeleton; she didn't know how long the skeleton had been dead.

But its oppressive aura still terrified her.

"The so-called Blood Pool of the Heavenforged Sect is nothing more than a small amount of my Essence Blood, plus the energy leakage and the fusion with the Earth Fire."

"The Spiritual Qi here is so rich, it far surpasses that of my grandfather's Withering-and-Blooming Courtyard." Xu Deling sensed it carefully.

"Naturally, the body of a great demon is heavenly materials and earthly treasures, automatically attracting the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi."

Non-Self n't isolated myself with space...

It might take over 100,000 years to condense into a Sixth-Tier Spirit Vein.

The current concentration should be comparable to the Spiritual Qi of Mid-Grade -Fifth Tier Spirit Vein.

"Enough for what you and I need for this Nirvana."

After a pause, Chongyuan asked again, "Shall we begin now, or should we recuperate for a few days?"

"Now, let's press on with this momentum."

"Alright, let's begin!"

The two arrived at the top of the skeleton's head, and Xu Deling sat cross-legged.

Chongyuan, on the other hand, used Secret Method to gather the residual Bloodline essence contained in the bones.

"Fire Phoenix Nirvana!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

The thousand-foot-tall skeleton ignited with a faint golden flame.

Golden flames continued to gather above the skeleton's head.

In an instant, the top of the skeleton's head transformed into a golden sea of fire that seemed to never go out.

"Activate the Nirvana Secret Method!"

After being reminded by Chongyuan, he immediately sat cross-legged and began his Nirvana.

Half a day later.

Flame Dragon and True Sun came to investigate, but after searching the Flame Phoenix Blood Pool, they could not find any trace of Xu Deling.

"De Ling shouldn't have gone out," Flame Dragon said, "But why isn't she here?"

"The Flame Phoenix Blood Pool must still hold secrets that are beyond our comprehension."

When De Ling Nirvana, it must have been due to the blessings of Ancient Great Demon from this land.

Ultimately, it is destined to be obtained by those who are destined to receive it.

Junior brother, you personally guard outside and make sure no one comes near.

"Yes, senior brother."

Two weeks later.

Xu Chuan reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Late Stage in his cultivation, but then encountered a bottleneck.

After only a few days of recuperation, he took a High-Grade "Tian Luo Pill" to attempt to reach the Nascent Soul Perfection.

Three days later.

As dawn breaks and purple qi clouds rise in the east, the first light of day appears.

Xu Chuan successfully broke through.

"After more than three hundred years of cultivation, from a mere mortal to the Nascent Soul Perfection, my path has finally achieved Minor Mastery."

But the future situation will only become more dangerous and volatile.

Xu Chuan's gaze seemed to pierce through the Mist of time.

But the Mist, and it cannot be dispelled by ordinary means.

Even Heavenly Secrets Divination is no exception.

"If Spirit Transformation emerges from my Xu Household, there will surely be a fierce battle in the future. If we win, we will unify Southern Heaven and Blackwater."

If defeated, one can only lie low.

The birth of a new Spirit Transformation is the beginning.

With the seal between heaven and earth broken, it will be much easier for those who subsequently Spirit Transformation.

But a hundred years from now, will his strength be restricted, just like other Nascent Spirit Transformation?

This is currently just a rumor and has no actual basis.

As for the great changes in heaven and earth.

The key lies in the Southern Heaven Ancestral Vein.

With the Ancestral Vein lost, the concentration of Spiritual Qi energy remains the same, and ultimately, only a few Nascent Spirit Transformation will be born.

What is the connection between the Shitou Mei Yun brought from the Primordial Battlefield and the Ancestral Vein?

Xu Chuan made several calculations using the [Heavenly Secrets Dao Derivation], but the results were still vague.

However, this also proves that the Shitou was not an ordinary rock.

"The Southern Heaven Ancestral Vein, the foremost Immortal Sect, the Person of Destiny..."

Xu Chuan murmured, "I'm confident I can break through to the Spirit Transformation, but I need to welcome back the High Antiquity..."

His eyes were deep and unfathomable.

After a short while, he stopped thinking about it.

"De Ling should be undergoing her third Nirvana, the ninth Nirvana, returning to her ancestral True Spirit."

This time, she has a good chance of success, but the outcome remains to be seen.

Heavenforged Sect, Flame Phoenix Blood Pool.

More than half a month has passed.

Xu Deling and Chongyuan are still undergoing their Nirvana.

Nirvana is a perilous journey, with each stage becoming increasingly difficult, sometimes requiring special flames or materials.

Mastering Secret Art does not guarantee continuous Nirvana.

Strands of the essence of the Flame Phoenix's bones seeped into their bodies, cleansing their Bloodline.

At the same time, they are constantly being burned by the flames of Nirvana.

Skin, flesh, Meridians, bone marrow, Dantian, Sea of Consciousness, and even Nascent Soul.

The cry of the Vermilion Bird resounded within Xu Deling's Bloodline.

Strands of vital energy rose and transformed into Blazing Vermilion Bird, which spread its wings and enveloped Xu Deling's body.

Her Vermilion Bird Heart was burned, and a large amount of Vermilion Bird True Blood condensed out.

It's like their potential has been unleashed.

Her Bloodline was gradually purified, and she was breaking through to the level of the Spirit Transformation.

But things didn't go so smoothly for Chongyuan.

The demonic body he possessed after his Nirvana was far inferior to his original form.

In terms of foundation, his strength lies only in his Origin Spiritual Consciousness.

However, the Origin Spiritual Consciousness has little effect on Nirvana.

Ordinary methods are unlikely to seriously damage the Divine Sense of those above the Spirit Transformation, but the Nirvana Flame is quite special.

That's an exception.

If Nirvana fails, the Origin Spiritual Consciousness of Chongyuan will also perish.

Therefore, even in High Antiquity, few Phoenix Clan dared to embark on the path of Nirvana.

At most, only once or twice.

The existence of True Spirit that has undergone nine Nirvana and returned to its ancestral form was something Chongyuan had never heard of.

Even he himself only managed to complete five Nirvana.

His fifth Nirvana gave him the fortuitous opportunity to enter the realm of Fusion demon.

Chongyuan's aura gradually weakened.

This weakness affected Xu Deling.

After all, the two had formed Spirit Pact, allowing them to sense each other's safety through their Divine Sense.

"How could Chongyuan..." Xu Deling was horrified. "He's High Antiquity Body Integration Great Talent!"

Under the protection of the Xiantian Blazing Vermilion Bird, her Bloodline has gradually Transformation, and she has now entered the Spirit Transformation Early Stage.

She felt she could keep going.

The longer the transformation lasts, the more thorough Transformation, and the higher the Bloodline level will be after rebirth.

They can even reach the Spirit Transformation Late Stage, or even the peak of the Bloodline.

Each Transformation brings forth Divine Ability, and may even condense precious bones.

The stronger one's Bloodline, the more extraordinary Divine Ability and precious bones will naturally be.

What should I do?

Or rather, what can I do?

"Karmic Flame."

"By the way, Chongyuan said that Karmic Flame also has the potential to increase the success rate."

However, Chongyuan could not withstand the Karmic Flame.

"Only I understand the essence of Karmic Flame; even without controlling it, Karmic Flame cannot harm me in the slightest."

Xu Deling had only one thought in mind before making a decisive decision.

Most of the Xiantian fire separated and flew into Chongyuan's body.

Thanks to this Xiantian Creation, his condition improved rapidly.

She herself condensed the Karmic Flame Vermilion Bird to resist the burning of the Nirvana Flame.

Under this pressure.

The remaining Xiantian fire began to merge with the Karmic Flame Vermilion Bird, causing the Karmic Flame Vermilion Bird to change.

Time passed.

This flame of Nirvana burned for a full forty-nine days.

Then.

Both Xu Deling and Chongyuan had giant eggshells condensed around their bodies, with mysterious patterns on them.

However, the two are different.

The former has a red background with white gold patterns, while the latter has a red background with gold patterns.

A massive amount of Spiritual Qi was absorbed by the two giant eggs.

Their lives are undergoing Transformation.

The day the egg breaks is the day of new life.

Eighty-first day.

Xu Deling and Chongyuan hatched from their eggs, and the eggshells turned into spiritual light and disappeared into the air.

Chongyuan, now in demon form, looked at Xu Deling with a complex expression.

"With your foundation, you could even Transformation into Spirit Transformation Peak Bloodline, instead of just being a Middle Stage Bloodline as you are now."

At that time, the Physical Body will also receive Bloodline resources, reaching the Fourth-Tier Late Stage.

"Since you've chosen to be my Path Guardian, how can you give up halfway?"

Xu Deling smiled sweetly.

Chongyuan remained silent.

A short while later.

He said, "Very well, from now on I will protect you until we Fusion, to repay this debt of karma."

"Are you planning to leave?"

"I the Unseen a feeling that the world would undergo a great change, or that we would return to the High Antiquity. At that time, I did intend to leave."

But now...

Perhaps from the moment I helped you Nirvana, we were already bound by an inextricable karmic bond.

"Having Little Red with you is pretty good."

"You are not allowed to call me by that name. My name is Chongyuan."

Chongyuan's face darkened.

Xu Deling smiled, "It's not bad now, at least the original goals have been achieved."

"We'll go into seclusion for a few more days before leaving."

"Okay." Chongyuan nodded slightly.

The Withering-and-Blooming Courtyard.

Xu Chuan's Sea of Consciousness trembled slightly.

He immediately awoke and muttered to himself, "De Ling has successfully completed his third Nirvana."

Xu Chuan summoned the Clan Genealogy and examined it.

[Name: Xu Deling]

[Age: 330 years old]

[Spirit Root: Heaven Spiritual Root (91% purity)]

[Talent: Vermilion Bird True Eyes, Vermilion Bird Heart, Thousand Temperings, Heavenly Craft Creation]

[Physique: Vermilion Bird Dao Body]

[Bloodline: Spirit Transformation Middle Stage Bloodline, awakened top-tier True Flame, Southern Bright Blazing Fire]

[Cultivation Realm: Nascent Soul Late Stage]

[Physical Body: Fourth-Tier Middle Stage]

[Law Power: Three times the Law Power of the same rank]

[Note: The Vermilion Bird Dao Body is affinity-for -Fire-Type Laws]

[Note: Southern Bright Blazing Fire, Quasi-Greater Divine Ability, is formed by the Transformation Karmic Flame into a portion of Xiantian Li Fire.]

This fire Ultimate Yang and strong, and is the nemesis of all evil spirits and demons.

[Can be used as True Flame material for the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana]

[Note: The Vermilion Bird True Eyes can see through illusions, revealing everything clearly, and also possesses the power of destruction; Superior Divine Ability.]

"It seems De Ling has made a choice, but that's more in line with her personality."

"Southern Bright Blazing Fire," Quasi-Greater Divine Ability, is an unexpected delight.

However, with her current combat strength, if she were to acquire a suitable Spirit Treasure, she might even surpass Zhang Fan.

"What a pity about that Spirit Treasure wing from the Vermilion Bird Secret Realm."

Several days later.

Xu Deling and Chongyuan planned to return to Yunxi.

She glanced at Chongyuan.

Chongyuan immediately understood, "Your Xu Household, from top to bottom, truly cannot shake their collecting obsession."

Keep this skeleton. Its energy essence is almost depleted, but it can still be used as the main material for Spirit Treasure.

Moreover, the Spiritual Qi here is thin, otherwise the Restriction will gradually dissipate.

It's better for it to fall into your hands than for it to be used by others.

"Then I'll accept it, having gained experience in forging the new Azure Dragon Treasure Umbrella for my grandfather."

When I am able to refine Spirit Treasure in the future, I will also refine them completely.

"What ever."

Leave the Flame Phoenix Blood Pool.

Stepping out of the Passageway, one sees Flame Dragon sitting cross-legged outside, addressing his "Second Master."

"You're finally out. I thought something had happened to you, and I didn't know how to explain it to the Xu Household."

Xu Deling cupped his hands and said, "I've caused Master worry."

"It's good that you're alright."

Flame Dragon waved his hand with a faint smile, "In that case, my senior brother and I can rest assured."

Was there any success this time?

"It's acceptable, but I took away the last fortuitous opportunity from the Flame Phoenix Blood Pool."

It will soon become just an ordinary hot spring, devoid of any of its mystique.

The disciple is willing to make amends.

As he spoke, Xu Deling flipped his hand and took out a Porcelain Bottle, handing it to Flame Dragon.

"This is."

Flame Dragon opened it and exclaimed in surprise, "Profound Origin Pill! And three of them are of High-Grade!"

"Profound Origin Pill" is an abbreviation for "New Nine-Revolution Profound Origin Pill," and is called so to distinguish it.

"This compensation is far too much."

"I cannot disclose what is in the Flame Phoenix Blood Pool, but these few Pill are nothing compared to it."

Please accept this with peace of mind, Master.

Perhaps it can help Master break through the bottleneck of Great Cultivator in the future.

Seeing the determination in Xu Deling's eyes, Flame Dragon sighed softly, "Very well, I will accept it."

You're getting ready to leave, aren't you? Before you go, go see your senior brother one last time.

He doesn't have much Lifespan.

"How could this be?" Xu Deling's expression changed slightly.

"It would be too strenuous for him to refine Spirit Treasure at his Cultivation Realm, consuming too much mental energy and damaging his foundation."

There were originally more than a hundred years left.

Now, I fear we only have twenty or thirty years left.

"Why didn't you write to inform your disciple sooner? I begged my grandfather to intervene, perhaps he could repair the Master's foundation."

"I suggested it too, but my senior brother wouldn't allow it."

Flame Dragon said, "He said that he had no regrets in his life for being able to refine two Spirit Treasure."

"I understand. I will ask my grandfather to come when I return."

Thank you.

Given this fundamental condition, ordinary Pill are simply ineffective in curing it.

Even if they existed, they would be far too rare to be found in this day and age.

Flame Dragon could only place his hopes on Xu Chuan's Divine Ability.

He met True Sun.

He examined Xu Deling's Artifact Refining Path and was very satisfied with it, saying, "Your Artifact Refining Path is already among the best in the world."

As for Spirit Treasure, don't try it too early.

It's best to wait until you reach the Nascent Soul Perfection.

This Jade Slip contains my insights into refining Spirit Treasure, which should be of some use to you.

Consider this your final graduation gift from your master.

Xu Deling felt heavy-hearted.

She didn't mention the matter of Lifespan, but accepted the Jade Slip, cupped her hands, and said, "Thank you, Master."

"Regardless of what the future holds, I will protect the Heavenforged Sect to the best of my ability."

"I believe in you." True Sun smiled slightly.

"Then this disciple will take his leave."

Xu Deling left Heavenforged Sect and immediately returned to Yunxi.

Upon his return, he and Chongyuan went to the Withering-and-Blooming Courtyard.

"You're back."

Xu Chuan's gaze swept over the two of them, "Nascent Soul Late Stage, Fourth-Tier Middle Stage Physical Body."

Its Law Power is so profound that it is even stronger than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Perfection at the peak of their Law Power.

"With this Nirvana, your talent and foundation are second only to Primordial Harmony and Jingwu; even I am no match for you."

"Grandfather's Divine Ability are boundless; his granddaughter is far inferior."

Xu Chuan laughed heartily, then said to Chongyuan, "Daoist Chong Yuan has also Nirvana."

They are not far from the Transformation Peak.

Their Bloodline is also extraordinary, surpassing even Moyue's.

I reckon even Xu wouldn't be a match for you.

"You figured that out?"

"It was all De Ling's own choice; the matter of Nirvana was far too dangerous."

If you're not confident, it's best not to try it lightly.

Chongyuan clasped his hands and sighed, "I have learned a great deal. Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Xu."

A short while later.

Xu Deling said solemnly, "Grandfather, Master True Sun's Lifespan is running out."

Master Flame Dragon said that he had damaged his foundation by refining Spirit Treasure twice in a row.

Originally destined for Lifespan of over Two Sixty-Year Cycles, he now only has twenty or thirty years left.

She bowed and said, "Master Flame Dragon said that Master True Sun does not want to trouble my Xu Household."

That's why they never told me.

Please ask Grandfather to go and check on Master True Sun's condition.

"There's actually such a thing."

Xu Chuan nodded slightly. "I'll go with you in three days."

Thank you, Grandfather.

Three days passed.

Xu Deling and Xu Chuan set off.

Flame Dragon personally hosted them.

Upon seeing Xu Chuan, True Sun turned to Flame Dragon and said, "Junior Brother, you should still tell De Ling about my situation."

"Senior brother, the Heavenforged Sect still needs you to hold it together."

Xu Deling also said, "Master, there's no need to hide this matter. If my Xu Household has a way, we will definitely do our best to help."

"Yes." True Sun nodded slightly. "Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Xu."

Xu Chuan said with a faint smile, "De Ling has been taught by you, and you are willing to let go."

I will always remember this kindness and gratitude.

Fellow Daoist, do not resist. I need to investigate the situation further.

A short while later.

Xu Chuan withdrew his Divine Sense and said, "Indeed, your foundation and Divine Soul have been damaged, and you have no hope of advancing further in this life."

It seems that Spirit Treasure are not so easy to refine.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, do you have a solution?"

"Injuries to the Divine Soul and soul can be healed, but injuries to the foundation, I can only say I'll try."

First, arrange a Quiet Chamber.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please follow me."

After True Sun and Xu Chuan left, only Xu Deling and Flame Dragon remained in the main hall of the cave abode.

"I hope the Grand Master is alright."

"Actually, my senior brother had already let go of the past, but I didn't want him to pass away because of it."

Heavenforged Sect is the number one Artifact Refining sect in Southern Heaven.

But all of this was borne by my senior brother. If he were to pass away, all the glory would vanish like smoke.

The Azure Cloud Sect won't offer much assistance either.

"How are Yan Zhen and Senior Brother Blazing Sun?"

"Their cultivation level is just so-so. Fourth-Tier Pill are precious, so they only refine one occasionally."

They mostly rely on their own self-cultivation.

As for Artifact Refining...

Blazing Sun is now capable of crafting Seven-Pattern Top-Tier Magic Treasure.

Although Yan Zhen has touched the threshold of the Eight-Pattern, it will not be easy to truly refine it successfully.

My senior brother said that it would take at least another Sixty Years before Yan Zhen would have a 10% to 20% success rate.

As for the Nine-Pattern Magic Treasure Artifact Refiner...

One like this might not appear for hundreds of years.

Your senior brother is genuinely delighted that you have achieved this.

Xu Deling said, "Second Master, if you break through to the Great Cultivator and still have Spirit Treasure in hand, you can definitely prevent others from spying on you."

"Spirit Treasure, if it falls into the hands of a power that doesn't have enough strength, it will be a curse rather than a blessing."

That's why I didn't refuse those three "Profound Origin Pill".

Not long after.

I plan to Death-Seclusion Retreat and focus all my efforts on breaking through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

Half a day later.

Xu Chuan and his companion emerged from the Quiet Chamber.

"How is it?" Flame Dragon asked immediately.

Xu Chuan replied, "The damage to your Divine Soul is almost completely healed; you can simply adjust your breathing daily from now on."

However, the damage to the foundation, while my Divine Ability can have an effect, are limited in scope and require daily application.

Flame Dragon's heart sank.

He knew that Xu Chuan couldn't possibly spend so much time on his senior brother.

The Xu Household faces different challenges due to their different social standing.

As the pillar of the Xu Household, Yunxi needs him to oversee things.

Furthermore, he himself also needs to cultivate and develop Divine Ability.

There was no extra time.

With Xu Chuan's Talent, he wouldn't be as easily blocked by the bottleneck in his Cultivation Realm as they were.

"I'm not entirely unsure about the extent of the damage to the foundation, but I need to go back and investigate further."

The Heavenforged Sect can first find five High-Grade Xiantian Spirit Treasure, Five Elements Qi Quan.

Once I find a solution, I will treat Fellow True Sun.

Approximately several years.

"Alright." Flame Dragon was overjoyed and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Xu."

"It's nothing."

Xu Chuan and Xu Deling left.

We arrived at Yunxi.

Xu Deling asked, "Grandfather, can you really heal injuries to the foundation of one's health?"

"You've forgotten the 'Supreme Heaven-Mending Foundation Art' that my Xu Household obtained from the Cold Mountain Secret Realm."

"But doesn't it require fifth or sixth-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures? Why is it Xiantian Spirit Treasure?"

"Therefore, I plan to use it as a blueprint to create my own Foundation-Healing Art."

It may not be as profound as that, but it should be effective in healing foundational injuries below the Spirit Transformation.

"I'm sorry to have troubled Grandfather because of my matter."

Xu Deling felt a little guilty.

After all, he knew that Xu Chuan was a very busy person.

"It's alright. I've reached a dead end in terms of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Xu Deling was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed and exclaimed, "Grandfather, you have broken through to the Nascent Soul Perfection!"

When did this happen?

"Shortly after your Nirvana."

"Congratulations, Grandfather! You are on the path to becoming Spirit Transformation cultivator."

"Alright, go back and cultivate diligently. Leave True Sun's matter to Grandfather."

Thank you, Grandfather.

Xu Deling's heart was completely at peace.

When Xu Chuan was studying the "Supreme Heaven-Mending Foundation Art," he discovered that the Creation Power and the Life-and-Death Power inherently have the function of repairing the foundation.

He didn't know whether it was the effect of these two methods, or whether all Greater Divine Ability had similar effects.

All in all.

Based on Creation and supplemented by Life and Death, it guides a trace of Xiantian power from the Xiantian Spirit Treasure.

This method has great potential.

The rest is just about retreating into seclusion to contemplate and then trying again and again.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Chuan successfully created the "Creation Foundation Art" and then went to the Heavenforged Sect again.

I stayed there for half a month.

After being used twice, True Sun's injuries were completely healed.

But.

He has been suffering losses for a long time, and this time he can only make up for a little over Sixty Years of his lifespan.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Xu."

Xu Chuan nodded slightly, then asked, "Flame Dragon is in seclusion?"

"That's right, Junior Brother wants to successfully break through to the Great Cultivator before I pass away."

Originally, the hope was slim, but with the three "Profound Origin Pill" sent by De Ling, they now had a 10-20% chance of success.

"In the blink of an eye, Fellow Flame Dragon has been in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage for over two hundred years."

Given his accumulated experience and resources, there is likely to be hope.

"Thank you for your Fellow Daoist Xu."

"This matter is settled; I shall take my leave now."

"I'll see Fellow Daoist Xu off."

Heavenforged Sect Outside.

Watching Xu Chuan depart, True Sun murmured, "Eighty years? That's enough time for Yan Zhen to stably refine Eight-Pattern Magic Treasure."

The words had barely left his mouth.

He rode a beam of crimson light back into the Heavenforged Sect.

Heavenforged City.

Xu Chuan sensed something and, after some calculation, discovered that there was actually the aura of a Spirit Transformation in this city.

He didn't dare use his Divine Sense to investigate, but instead used the method of deduction to follow the energy flow.

I passed by a street stall.

The stall was run by an elderly man in tattered gray clothes, who was picking his toes without any regard for his appearance.

After finishing my business, I took a sniff of it as well.

"Golden Core Early Stage?"

"No matter how well you conceal it, it cannot hide from the Heavenly Secrets Divination."

People were seen coming in.

The gray-robed old man immediately put on a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist, is there anything you fancy?"

These were all unearthed by this old man from Primordial Era Ruins in a certain Secret Realm Cave-Heaven.

Look at these ancient patterns, the design of this Flying Sword.

Xu Chuan smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Daoist, the pattern is ancient and simple, but what use is a mere fragment?"

The Flying Sword did indeed look like High Antiquity relic, but it lacked any spiritual light and was only half intact.

Should I take it back and use it as a decoration?

Fellow Daoist, please don't bring out these junk items. If you have something genuine, I might consider buying it.

"Fellow Daoist has a discerning eye, so I won't deceive you. I certainly possess genuine treasures, but it depends on whether your eyesight is sufficient."

"Let's take it out and see."

The old man in gray chuckled, gathered up the junk from his stall, and with a flick of his sleeve, nine items appeared on the table.

Among them were three Flying Swords, a bell, a bronze piece, two fist-sized black stones, a yellow Gourd, and a gray sphere.

"Fellow Daoist, these nine items are priced at 500,000 Spirit Stone each, no bargaining."

You can only choose one item.

After all, treasures are only sold to those who are destined to find them.

"Let me take a look first."

"Please make yourself at home, fellow Daoist." The gray-robed elder looked completely at ease and lay down on the recliner.

Xu Chuan's gaze first fell on the Flying Sword. It was shrouded in spiritual light and had an ancient and simple design, making it look like High Antiquity Swordsmanship of considerable quality.

But that's just for show.

It was repaired Houtian, but the technique was quite good.

It's High-Grade Magic Treasure, but it's estimated that it can only unleash the power of Mid-Grade Magic Treasure.

Then, Xu Chuan picked up the black bell and shook it.

Ring ring~

A ringing bell can shake the soul, but it has cracks and can only be used a limited number of times.

Next was a bronze plate, which contained divine light and was protected by Restriction.

Xu Chuan dared not force a breakthrough.

But out of curiosity, he did some calculations and discovered that the old man in gray had sealed away one of the Mid-Level Divine Ability himself.

For Golden Core cultivator, Mid-Level Divine Ability is a good fortuitous opportunity, but breaking through the Restriction is not easy.

One must at least reach the Nascent Soul stage.
