The Black Water Divine Sword and Yellow Earth Divine Sword Ascend to Third-Tier Treasure Artifacts
Lili!
Inside the county government office in Peacock County Seat, accompanied by the clear cry of Peacock, Kong Wenxuan's mind and consciousness descended with a ray of starlight, returning to his physical body.
When he opened his eyes, he was still sitting in the county government office, with the clan chief Kong Changgeng beside him. He calculated that a day and a night had passed.
This small court assembly at the "Vermilion Bird Royal Court," and the subsequent banquet, lasted for a full day and night.
The banquet following the small court assembly lasted even longer. First, the "Vermilion Bird King" gave a toast, and then the officials congratulated the "Vermilion Bird King." This back-and-forth revelry lasted for several hours.
After the "Vermilion Bird King" left his seat, the banquet, now free of constraints, became even more lively.
Just as Ya Xinghe and Jiao Shihuan had said, the banquet, now free of constraints, became an increasingly lively occasion for officials and True Spirit Lineage to connect, make friends, discuss various businesses, and cooperate.
As a newcomer among the "True Spirit Lineage," the Kong Household has no other familiar or connected "True Spirit Lineage" in the Vermilion Bird Southern Region, apart from those belonging to the other "True Spirit Lineage" in "Bifang Commandery."
Therefore, at the banquet, Kong Wenxuan spent most of the time sitting in his seat, enjoying the Fifth Tier spiritual food and wine bestowed by the "Vermilion Bird King".
Of course, Kong Wenxuan did not come away empty-handed. Ya Xinghe and Jiao Shihuan introduced him to some "Eighth-Grade True Spirit Lineage" from other counties and even other states. Some "True Spirit Lineage" also came to get to know and befriend the Star Inlaying Kong Household after hearing about how they had successfully advanced to the "Eighth-Grade True Spirit Lineage" in just twenty years.
However, since everyone was just meeting for the first time, it was only to get acquainted with each other. It was unlikely that they would form a deep friendship or reach any business deals or collaborations on the spot.
Nevertheless, Kong Wenxuan's first participation in the "Vermilion Bird Royal Court" small court assembly, with a reward of 500 merit points and a bellyful of Spiritual Qi from Fifth Tier spiritual food and spirit wine, can be considered a considerable gain.
He spoke with the clan chief Kong Changgeng, who had been protecting him, about what he had seen and heard at the "small court assembly." He focused on the "internal and external troubles" caused by the emergence of Demon Race in various places and the increased attacks from the "True Martial World" outside the heavens. He also mentioned the "Vermilion Bird Royal Court's" order to strengthen the extermination and extermination of Demon Race in various places, as well as the development plan for the Vermilion Bird Southern Region over the next thirty years.
Although the Kong Household and Peacock County were just a small, remote corner of the Vermilion Bird Southern Region, they could not afford to be unaware of the government orders and policies issued by the higher authorities. This was not only a matter of broadening their horizons and understanding the situation of the world.
Furthermore, only by conforming to the policies and decrees of the authorities can the Kong Household undoubtedly develop better and more safely; if they are unaware of the policies and decrees and act recklessly, not only will they waste their energy, but they may also go against the tide one day and not even know how they will fall.
However, to their relief, the "South Lake Mountains" where the Kong Household was located, as well as the "Demon Race Demon Race Secret Realm" beneath "South Lake," the Demon Race clan's hidden stronghold, had all been wiped out by Kong Wenxuan and the Bi Household's army.
Today, the "South Lake Mountains" are clean and tidy, with no remnants of the Demon Race, or even any signs of them.
Therefore, the suppression and eradication of Demon Race by the "Vermilion Bird Royal Court" were temporarily irrelevant to them, allowing the Kong Household a period of quiet and stable development, expansion, and enhancement of their strength.
However, it remains to be seen how long this period of stable development can last.
Kong Wenxuan recalled the feeling of impending doom he had when listening to the prefects and governors report on their duties at the "small court assembly," and his heart couldn't help but feel increasingly anxious.
Therefore, after discussing his experiences at the "Small Court Assembly" with the clan leader, learning about the Lineage's current expansion campaign in Peacock County, and discussing the Lineage's general plans and development direction, he hurriedly returned to the "Ancestral Spirit Mountain Peak" in the "Peacock Secret Realm" to continue forging swords and cultivating.
As the "Black Water Divine Sword" and the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" were simultaneously unleashed, Kong Wenxuan formed hand seals, imbuing the two divine swords with "Treasure Restriction" for refining Treasure Artifact.
Kong Wenxuan clearly felt the difference; streams of spiritual energy surged from his body, merging into his "Peacock Bloodline," his Purple Mansion, and his "Spirit Law."
This allows the bloodline power and Spirit Law power of the Purple Mansion that he consumed during the process of forming hand seals, condensing the "Treasure Restriction", and refining the two divine swords to be continuously restored.
Without a doubt, this was the spiritual energy and power he brought back from the Fifth Tier spiritual food and wine he enjoyed at the celestial banquet.
This spiritual energy flowed out gently, steadily, and continuously, merging into his bloodline, Purple Mansion, and Spirit Law, restoring his energy and fatigue—everything was just right.
Furthermore, the energy in these Fifth Tier spiritual foods and wines has a special effect, making Kong Wenxuan's mind and consciousness clearer, and his control over the power of his bloodline and Spirit Law power more refined and subtle. When handling the coordination and harmony of the two divine swords being refined simultaneously, he can do so more easily, smoothly, and meticulously.
Even more remarkably, Kong Wenxuan also saw that as the energy of these spiritual foods and wines merged into his bloodline power and Spirit Law power, it also merged into the various magical Treasure Restriction he had formed. These Treasure Restriction merged into the two divine swords, and the sword light emitted by the "Black Water Divine Sword" and the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" became much stronger, greatly increasing their efficiency in devouring and refining Third Tier "Crystal Stone" spiritual materials.
In a short time, Kong Wenxuan's speed and efficiency in refining and upgrading the "Black Water Divine Sword" and the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" doubled.
Originally, Kong Wenxuan estimated that it would take at least six years to complete the remaining refinement and advancement of the two divine swords, and to upgrade them to the Third Tier Treasure Artifact level.
However, now, with the effects of the Fifth Tier- Fifth Tier spiritual food and wine bestowed by the Vermilion Bird King during the celestial banquet, Kong Wenxuan estimates that the time could probably be shortened by half.
And so, another three years passed in the blink of an eye.
The Kong Household's war to expand Peacock County has been going on for nine years, and the expansion of 2,000 li has been more than half completed, but it will still take several years before it is completely over.
Meanwhile, the fourth sister, Kong Wencheng, led the Lineage caravan, traveling with the Bi Household caravan through various counties and even the city of Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture. She also brought back a lot of news from the outside world, knowing that the "True Spirit Lineage" in various places were intensifying their efforts to eliminate emerging and hidden Demon Race in accordance with the orders in the "Small Court Assembly," which was quite lively and chaotic.
Meanwhile, in the "Peacock Secret Realm," atop the "Ancestral Spirit Mountain Peak," Kong Wenxuan's refining and enhancement of the "Black Water Divine Sword" and the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" had reached its final stage.
Buzz! Buzz...
Two divine swords hung side by side upside down in front of Kong Wenxuan, each with black and yellow spiritual light flowing around it, vibrating and humming. The tips of the two divine swords emitted sword light several feet long, swallowing and refining the last palm-sized Third Tier "Crystal Stone" spiritual material below.
Buzz! Chant...
Gradually, the vibrations and humming transformed into the sound of swords. The black and yellow sword lights on the "Black Water Divine Sword" and the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" suddenly shone brightly. The two colors of sword light intertwined and merged into one, within which the strange phenomena of mountains and rivers could be faintly seen. A magnificent and vast power, like a mountain collapsing or water overflowing, an irresistible force burst forth from it, sweeping in all directions!
Even the "Ancestral Spirit Mountain Peak" trembled and swayed slightly under the impact of this magnificent, vast, and irresistible power, prompting Kong Wenxuan to quickly activate the protective formation set up on the "Ancestral Spirit Mountain Peak" to suppress and protect the entire mountain before it stabilized again.
At this moment, the sword light emanating from the two divine swords quickly receded into the swords, and all the strange phenomena and movements disappeared.
After nine years, the "Black Water Divine Sword" and the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" successfully completed simultaneous refinement and upgrading, advancing to the Third Tier Treasure Artifact level!
