Xiao Ping'an took out numerous extremely precious materials: the Nine Immortal Gold, the Hundun Essence, and the Mother Qi of All Things —all materials used to forge Extreme Dao Weapon and even Immortal Artifact. Now that Xiao Ping'an was forging a weapon, what he produced was naturally Immortal Artifact.
Such rare materials cannot be collected by just anyone. It is only because Xiao Ping'an lived through a long period of time and killed so many Dark Supreme that he was able to accumulate so much.
Then Xiao Ping'an captured the small flame tree and bird from the Fire Domain Divine Fire in the Underworld.
Those strange flame runes were all immortal runes, seemingly capable of destroying heaven and earth, and obliterating all of time and space.
If used to forge weapons, it can naturally make the weapons better.
With so many materials, only this kind of flame can melt them quickly in a short time, or perhaps Xiao Ping'an's Great Dao Flame.
Xiao Ping'an's Great Dao Fire burned fiercely, merging with the flames on the flaming tree and the flaming bird, precisely controlling the forging of weapons.
After melting so many rare materials, he also incorporated the fragments of the Heaven's Will Blade into it.
Under the scorching heat of the flames, it quickly melted into a dazzling red glow.
One after another, the laws of the Great Dao manifested, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth roared, and the fused solution exuded an incomparably mysterious aura.
Then Xiao Ping'an continuously activated the profound mysteries within those divine metals, activating the most fundamental immortal Dao within them.
The profound and mysterious principles contained in these materials collide and merge with each other.
Especially the fragments of the Heavenly Blade, the Great Dao Laws they unleashed were truly terrifying and astonishing.
If it weren't for Xiao Ping'an's astonishing strength, ordinary Supreme and Ancient Emperor would probably have been instantly killed or severely injured by this terrifying Great Dao Law.
It might explode before it even has a chance to fuse, wasting these precious materials.
Faced with the terrifying power of heaven and earth, Xiao Ping'an remained calm and composed. His eyes were bright as he carefully observed the materials and the countless flying Great Dao Runes within them.
His hands continued to trace, imprinting his three Supreme laws, unique to him, into the Heavenly Blade.
These rare materials, after melting, gradually transformed into the shape of a Heavenly Blade, just like a dazzling, blazing sun.
The shape of that Heavenly Blade was conceived under that blazing sun.
The aura emanating from it was far stronger than that of ordinary Extreme Dao Weapon from the start, and it rapidly evolved into Immortal Artifact.
Xiao Ping'an thought for a moment, then threw the Heavenly Blade away.
The world is still filled with the aura of Heaven and Earth Great Tribulation, and is shrouded in the oppression of this Dharma-ending Age.
After the Heavenly Blade flew out, a sky full of red smoke streaked across the starry sky, covering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The immortal runes above, which transcend all the myriad paths of heaven and earth and flash continuously, are constantly transforming and sublimating.
The aura of that heavenly tribulation, the aura of destruction, were all devoured by that crimson Heavenly Blade.
After the terrifying aura of the heavenly tribulation was completely devoured, the Heavenly Blade, which had evolved into Immortal Artifact, flew back into Xiao Ping'an's hand.
Xiao Ping'an grabbed it and looked at the crimson Heavenly Blade on it, which exuded an aura of slaying all things in heaven and earth. He was very satisfied.
"Your name will be Great Red Heaven Blade."
Buzzing.
The Great Red Heaven Blade hummed, seemingly quite pleased with its name.
He instantly exuded an aura of world-destroying power.
The Heaven's Will Blade was originally a great law born during a time of great change in the world. In the original text, no one had the ability to collect it and forge it into their own weapon.
Now, the world has gained an immortal like Xiao Ping'an, who forcefully suppressed this Great Dao Law and forged it into his own weapon.
Xiao Ping'an looked at the Great Red Heaven Blade, becoming more and more satisfied.
With a deafening roar, boundless Hundun erupted, and incomparably intense celestial light burst forth, cascading down like a waterfall of silver water.
One after another, uninhabited stars were enveloped by this terrifying Hundun and swallowed up by the Great Red Heaven Blade.
This crimson Heavenly Blade, as red as blood, is covered with countless immortal runes that intertwine to form Order Divine Chains, exuding a supreme immortal aura.
The weapons and deities inside looked exactly like Xiao Ping'an, making them essentially another weapon for him to prove his Dao.
The Great Red Heaven Blade cleaved through the starry sky and returned to Xiao Ping'an's hand once more.
Xiao Ping'an's gaze was intense as he carefully observed the Great Red Heaven Blade for a long time.
In this world, the Great Red Heaven Blade integrates the Great Dao Laws of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and also carries the Great Dao Laws of the Immortal Path. It carries the Great Dao Laws of two worlds, which is truly magical and mysterious.
His strength surpasses that of ordinary Immortal Artifact.
Although it is not Immortal King Weapon, it is definitely incomparable to ordinary Immortal Artifact.
The entire world suffered heavy casualties, and there was widespread mourning.
Xiao Ping'an knew there was nothing he could do about it. With his current strength, being able to refine the Heaven's Will Blade into his own weapon was already his limit.
Only time can heal the grief of those who weep and wail.
Now, throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, all sorts of terrifying phenomena have gradually dissipated, and many stars have dimmed. The Heavenly Heart Imprint has almost completely disappeared. Apart from Xiao Ping'an, who can only vaguely sense it, no one else can detect it anymore.
The myriad paths of heaven and earth have almost vanished, becoming nearly undetectable.
The essence of heaven and earth seemed to have been completely devoured by a terrifying monster; although it wasn't entirely devoid of spiritual energy, it was practically nonexistent.
Just like the legendary Dharma-ending Age, people are almost unable to cultivate themselves.
No wonder those Primordial Beings in the original text sealed themselves and their people away. Faced with such a terrifying era of spiritual desolation and the end of Dharma, probably no one who is used to flying around could bear the feeling of being suppressed by the entire Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Many promising young immortals who were originally capable of venturing into the Bitter Sea and embarking on the path of cultivation are now almost unable to cultivate.
Aside from a few exceptional geniuses who can open up the Bitter Sea, it is almost impossible for anyone to embark on the path of cultivation.
The whole world fell silent.
Xiao Ping'an looked at the ruins of the world. So many people had died, and so many prosperous places had been reduced to ruins.
The once glorious holy land and noble families are now a scene of desolation and lamentation.
Looking at this world ravaged by death and injury, he couldn't help but realize that he had underestimated the devastation that had occurred between the end of the Primordial Era and the beginning of the Desolate Ancient Era.
More than 90% of living beings perished; this was yet another extremely cruel Heaven and Earth Great Tribulation.
He traversed star after star, witnessing the ruins of villages that slowly grew into populated areas and eventually developed into cities.
He also saw that, apart from humans, some other races, although they had degenerated into beasts, still managed to survive, including some demons and Primordial Beings.
Although the human race, which reproduces even faster, appears somewhat forlorn.
Xiao Ping'an walked through one habitat after another of the myriad spirits in the world, looking at this broken world in silence.
On this day, Xiao Ping'an arrived on Earth.
He came to a small town and settled down there.
In this small town, I saw many ragged, gray-haired old people and patients who collapsed on the road and died soon after.
A dilapidated city, narrow streets, and hurried pedestrians.
Even after hundreds or thousands of years, the fear of the Heaven and Earth Great Tribulation has not disappeared from people's hearts.
He saw some children, only a few years old, covered in dirt and wearing tattered clothes.
But you can see that their eyes are very pure.
Looking at Xiao Ping'an, whose clothes were clean, they couldn't help but feel a little scared, worried that they had offended some important person.
But they were hungry; they were a group of orphaned little beggars.
They wanted to beg from Xiao Ping'an.
Xiao Ping'an hadn't gone hungry for a long time; he had indeed gone hungry a very, very long time ago.
Looking at this group of little beggars, Xiao Ping'an couldn't help but sigh.
He casually took out one steamed bun after another and distributed them to the little beggars.
Each person was given a steamed bun, which immediately brought a pure and joyful smile to the faces of these little beggars.
That was the look of someone who was extremely satisfied, a look of happiness.
Looking at the group of little beggars, Xiao Ping'an suddenly felt a pang of emotion.
In their hearts, being able to eat their fill is the greatest satisfaction.
Xiao Ping'an cremated and buried the dead.
He settled down in the small town and even took in a group of little beggars.
In this era of spiritual deprivation, almost all living beings are unable to cultivate, and even Xiao Ping'an cannot defy the heavens.
He looked at the group of little beggars and wondered what he would do with them after they grew up.
With ample food, the children's lives improved day by day. Gradually, their blood and energy became abundant, and they grew increasingly beautiful. Xiao Ping'an thought of the pre-Qin Qi cultivators in the original text; they seemed to have been born under conditions of spiritual deprivation.
Based on historical legends, he deduced some Qi Refining Technique and taught them to the little beggars, trying to get them to practice.
Although it couldn't help these little beggars escape the Bitter Sea or comprehend the great Dao, it did make their vital energy and blood become more vigorous and stronger.
If one continues to cultivate according to Xiao Ping'an's Qi Refining Technique, one may eventually reach the Saint Realm.
But it's clear that these children don't have that talent.
They all cultivated their vital energy to a high level, yet none of them managed to escape the Bitter Sea.
As they grew up, their hearts shone with sunshine, seemingly having banished the fear of the Heaven and Earth Great Tribulation of yesteryear.
Those who practiced Qi Refining Technique became a group of Qi cultivators, radiating vibrant vitality.
Looking at these children growing up in such harsh conditions, Xiao Ping'an felt as if his own soul was undergoing a transformation.
That is, how to rise from ruin in the Dharma-ending Age.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
Although he knew that the world would recover in the future, Xiao Ping'an would not wait for such a long period of time; he also wanted to promote the recovery of the world.
Training Qi cultivators was one of his explorations.
Although limited by the current environment and the scarcity of spiritual energy, these children's cultivation cannot continue to progress, but it has made their physical foundations extremely solid.
They continued their journey on the path of Qi Refiners.
Although they cannot open up the Bitter Sea, it does not prevent them from flying and escaping through the earth by refining their Qi.
When the environment is right, they will naturally create their own Bitter Sea.
Although this road is difficult.
The current cultivation environment is like a flawed world, where the laws of the Great Dao are difficult to perceive, the essence of heaven and earth is depleted, and places where the Great Dao once resounded are now almost ruins.
These children have limited talent; even with their best efforts, they can only reach the original Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm and cannot advance any further to enter the Dao Palace Secret Realm.
The children Xiao Ping'an adopted have all grown up and reached the age to get married and have children.
He had adopted both boys and girls, and some of these children fell in love and got married, while others married women from other places.
These children progressed along the path of Qi cultivation, but ultimately, in this degenerate age, they were unable to break through again.
They will eventually die slowly.
However, since they all lived for two or three hundred years, they had no regrets in dying.
They have many children and grandchildren, and their lifespan is astonishing, far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Xiao Ping'an traveled across the entire planet, wandering through mountains and rivers, spreading his Qi Refining Technique, while simultaneously experiencing the strange sensations of this Dharma-ending Age.
He left this planet and then spread the Qi Refining Technique in other places.
He firmly believes that in this degenerate age, Qi Refining Technique is the most suitable cultivation method and secret technique for people of this era.
He continued to spread the Qi Refining Technique, and in the blink of an eye, thirty thousand years had passed.
Compared to ordinary people, this is an extremely long period of time; countless generations have already passed in the mortal world.
He returned to Earth and found that the place he had once been in had changed beyond recognition.
The world changes, and once powerful nations have turned to ashes, with other nations rising from the ruins.
The mortal world has changed countless times.
The Qi Refining Technique passed down by Xiao Ping'an have brought many more people with vigorous blood and energy to the Earth, making the planet many times more prosperous than it was back then.
Xiao Ping'an made further progress in his research on Qi Refining Technique.
In a daze, Xiao Ping'an found a way to "mend the sky".
Now that the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth has dissipated and its rules and order are no longer apparent, cultivation is difficult.
Xiao Ping'an created the Dao and its laws, reorganized the order of the Great Dao's laws, and established the Dao through his own actions.
Order Divine Chains from the Great Dao intertwined within his body, and the rules of the Great Dao flew into the Xukong, resonating with the mountains, rivers, plants, and trees.
There is no need to seek the Dao; wherever mountains and rivers are, there are divine patterns of the Great Dao. What one can see is the order of the laws of the Great Dao.
Even in the Dharma-ending Age, when the Great Way is not manifest, one can still cultivate in the desolate mountains and rivers.
Mountains, rivers, grasses, trees, flowers, leaves, dust, stars, sun, and moon—all contain the Great Dao.
His body radiated a divine light, with countless intricate runes of the Great Dao Runes interwoven around him, and his unique Great Dao permeated the surroundings.
He started with all things in heaven and earth, extracted those extraordinary runes, resonated with all things in heaven and earth, and transformed all things in heaven and earth for his own use.
On his path to becoming a Qi cultivator, Xiao Ping'an gained many more insights.
He walked and stopped, resonating with all things in this world where the Great Way did not prevail.
Observe the patterns of the Natural Dao, examine the terrain and mountains, and all will transform into Great Dao Runes.
Imprinting indelible runes in place after place.
He was exploring the most fundamental Great Dao Runes of heaven and earth, and unexpectedly, he made such an amazing discovery in this Dharma-ending Age.
He could sense that the sun, moon, stars, heaven and earth, and all things were the Dao Scripture. Even a speck of dust or an ordinary flower, grass, or tree contained endless profound meanings.
The Great Dao Runes contained within them may possess the immense power of heaven and earth, but each and every shining rune contains the profound principles of the Dao.
He carefully extracted and meticulously deduced the information.
Through his daily and yearly research, he truly went further and further down the path of Qi cultivation.
He attempted to set an example by his own conduct for the first time.
Countless golden runes appeared around his body, like a sky full of stars, demonstrating the supreme laws and order of the Great Dao.
All things in heaven and earth are tangible forms evolved from the Great Dao Runes.
Xiao Ping'an studied diligently day after day, year after year.
He traveled among mountains and rivers, under the sun and moon, carefully contemplating the mysteries of various sacred places.
He was immersed in this extraordinary exploration, feeling that he had new insights every day. He increasingly realized that the Dharma-ending Age was not a disaster for people like him, but rather a great opportunity.
He travels to all the Life Source Land in the universe, and to all the most sacred places, making new discoveries every day.
In those special places, he seemed to deduce certain scenes from an incredible era.
He witnessed the creation and destruction of the universe. Although he only saw fragments of it, the scene of the world being destroyed, the laws and order of the universe turning to ashes, and the entire world being reduced to dust and smoke deeply shocked him.
Countless dazzling Great Dao Runes bloomed, causing the destroyed world to reappear, endlessly cycling through birth and death.
Xiao Ping'an was truly astonished that he could gain such amazing insights in this Dharma-ending Age.
Although we don't know what era those scenes were from, they are indeed historical events that happened.
Perhaps it's a scene of battle between supreme beings, or perhaps it's a remnant of a vast universe that was born from destruction and fell into this world.
Xiao Ping'an studied the principles of heaven and earth and all things, forging his own path to greatness.
Many years have passed without us even realizing it.
Xiao Ping'an walked through the cosmos, observing all sorts of incredible and bizarre scenes, and comprehending his own Dao and Dharma.
It took nearly 100,000 years for its main body and its clones to travel to almost every Life Source Land in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
He felt he had found the truth.
On the path of Qi cultivation, one must continuously refine and deduce, ultimately transforming it into a true scripture of the Great Emperor.
He meticulously deduced the situation amidst countless stars and perilous locations.
His eyes held endless Great Dao Runes, as if he had glimpsed the essence of a Qi cultivator, capturing the infinite principles of heaven and earth, constantly evolving.
Countless Great Dao Runes intertwined densely, constantly evolving in his hands and in the starry sky.
He pushed the Qi Refining Technique to its limit, and it actually evolved into an immortal scripture.
Yes, it's not just the Heavenly Venerable's scriptures, but truly touches upon the level of immortals.
Of course, not everyone can reach the final stage of their spiritual practice.
Not everyone has this kind of innate talent and understanding.
Just like many mathematical formulas are now publicly available, but many people still can't understand them. Even if they spend a lifetime studying, they still can't reach the level of an average mathematician.
