First in Battle Merit: The Crimson Fire Divine Sword Advanced to a Fourth Tier Law Treasure
In the Mystic Crane Secret Realm, the great battle has ended, the "sea of fire" has dissipated, Bi Household's "Myriad Fires All-Encompassing Origin-Fortifying Grand Array" has been withdrawn.
In the sky, the "rift" connecting to the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" was now completely sealed off by a sea of starlight. There was no surge of demonic or martial light, only the flow of starlight.
However, Kong Wenxuan could see that behind these flowing starlight, there were also demonic and martial lights surging and crashing, trying to break through the blockade of this "starlight" and rush over again.
But they were all firmly resisted and suppressed.
The enemy can no longer open this "rift" to invade the "Mystic Crane Secret Realm" or even the Bifang Commandery.
On the contrary, their Bifang Commandery side can open that "crack" and attack the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" on the other side when needed.
It can be said that the Bi Household's initial goal of leaving the "rift" connecting to the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" intact, rather than directly destroying it, has already been achieved.
However, now is clearly not the time to launch a counterattack on the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven".
With the strength of just a few "True Spirit Lineage" in Bifang Commandery, it would be suicidal to rashly attack the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven." Therefore, they must wait until the entire "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty" launches a counterattack before they can join the main force to attack the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" and plunder resources, spiritual objects, and origins.
For now, the Bi Household can only seal, suppress, and control this "crack," waiting for the right opportunity. In the process, they will continue to strengthen their erosion and control over this "crack."
These matters are to be controlled by the Bi Household. Kong Wenxuan and his Kong Household cannot interfere in this matter at present. They are just waiting for the right time to follow the Bi Household in launching a counterattack against the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" and seize their own share of resources, origins, and fortuitous opportunity.
However, if Kong Wenxuan and his Kong Household want to seize resources, origins, and fortuitous opportunity within the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven," they must possess sufficient strength. Otherwise, attacking the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" would not be about seizing fortuitous opportunity but about committing suicide.
Therefore, when the great battle ended and everyone began to clean up the battlefield, Kong Wenxuan sought out Bi Household True Person, who was in charge of the merit statistics in "Demon-Suppressing Pass" and was also Bi Yanshu True Person, the head of the Ministry of Revenue of the prefecture, to first compile the merits and achievements he had made on the battlefield.
In this great battle, Kong Wenxuan made many contributions. Not to mention that he joined forces with Bi Qingqing to kill the Fourth Tier "Dijiang Martial Cultivator", he also killed more than thirty Fourth Tier enemies on his own, including Demon Race, Demon Beast, and martial cultivators. It can be said that he accounted for nearly one-third of the attacking Fourth Tier enemies.
Moreover, he also shattered and destroyed many "Demon Race Flying Boats", "True Martial Chariot", "Ten Thousand Demons Formation", "True Martial Battle Formation", etc., and the number of low-level Demon Race, Demon Beast, and martial cultivators he killed was countless.
Not to mention, it was precisely because he killed a large number of Fourth Tier enemies and accumulated victories that the balance of the battlefield gradually tilted towards "Bifang Commandery" and created the opportunity for the two True Lord of the Bi Household to finally kill the Fifth Tier enemies.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he influenced the final outcome of the war.
Therefore, after Bi Yanshu True Person tallied the battle results, he discovered that Kong Wenxuan's battle achievements ranked third, only below the two Nascent Soul True Lord of the Bi Household.
The two True Lord of the Bi Household naturally did not participate in this ranking of military achievements, so Kong Wenxuan became the person with the highest military achievements.
His military achievements even surpassed those True Person Bi Yanhong, who presided over the great battle, as well as Bi Qingqing True Person, who presided over the formation, and all the other Golden Core True Person of the Bi Household.
According to the promise made by True Person Bi Yanhong before the battle, the battle merits would be calculated at double the rate, which would be even more.
Converted to the cultivation time within the core array eye of the "Myriad Fires All-Encompassing Origin-Fortifying Grand Array," in the "Pseudo-Innate" secluded cultivation secret place,
It can even last for more than three years.
Unfortunately, the core of this "Myriad Fires All-Encompassing Origin-Fortifying Grand Array" is only suitable for him to use in seclusion to refine and enhance the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword," but not for refining or enhancing other "Divine Swords."
His "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" is now only one step away from advancing to the Fourth Tier Law Treasure level, and there is no need to take more than three years.
Kong Wenxuan is now hesitant about whether to exchange all his merits for a closed-door cultivation opportunity at the core of the "Myriad Fires All-Encompassing Origin-Fortifying Grand Array," or to exchange the excess merits for other treasures in the "Bi Household Treasury."
Although he spent less than three years refining and upgrading the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword," the extra time could be saved. Other cultivators in the Lineage who practiced fire-elemental Law Power, such as his eldest uncle Kong Yushuo or his fourteenth uncle Kong Yuyan, could also use this time and this "Pseudo-Innate" secluded cultivation secret place to accelerate the refining and upgrading of the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" and the "Crimson Fire Talisman Slip."
Kong Wenxuan specifically consulted True Person Bi Yanshu about this, and it was confirmed that it could be done in this way.
Kong Wenxuan specifically consulted True Person Bi Yanshu about this, and it was confirmed that it could be done in this way.
After carefully reviewing the exchange catalog of the "Bi Household Treasure Vault" once again, he finally decided to exchange all his time for the closed-door cultivation time in this "Pseudo-Innate" secluded cultivation secret place, and save the extra time.
In truth, none of the other exchangeable resources, spiritual objects, and treasures in the "Bi Household Treasury" are as precious as the time and opportunity for seclusion in this "Pseudo-Innate" secluded cultivation secret place.
In particular, the Bi Household's practice of opening the core of the "Myriad Fires All-Encompassing Origin-Fortifying Grand Array" to outsiders for secluded cultivation is extremely rare.
It was only because the Demon Race colluded with the martial artists of the "True Martial World" to launch a large-scale invasion that the entire "Bifang Commandery" was in danger of collapse. That's Bi Household brought out such a precious opportunity to encourage Kong Wenxuan, Ya Zhaoying and others.
If you miss this opportunity, you may never have another chance to exchange for the opportunity to cultivate at the core of the "Myriad Fires All-Encompassing Origin-Fortifying Grand Array" from the Bi Household.
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan ultimately chose this opportunity to cultivate, and sealed away the extra time for future use by his clansmen.
Five days later, the Bi Household held a celebration to reward the cultivators from various families and to provide five times the compensation for the dead and wounded as promised.
Because the "rift" connecting to the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" is now under the control of the Bi Household, there is no need to worry about the invasion of Demon Race and martial cultivators for the time being. Therefore, after the victory celebration, the Bi Household ended this "conscription order". The cultivators from each family took the corpses of their fallen clansmen, the spoils of war they had obtained on the battlefield, and the resources and treasures they had exchanged from the "Bi Household treasury" and returned to their respective families.
Kong Wenxuan stayed behind and entered the core of the "Myriad Fires All-Encompassing Origin-Fortifying Grand Array" to complete the final refinement and enhancement of the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword".
Within this "Pseudo-Innate" secluded cultivation ground, Kong Wenxuan's speed in refining and enhancing the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword"Nirvana Spirit Fire was three times that of the outside world. Even if Kong Wenxuan were to devour and refine the final Fourth Tier "Nirvana Spiritual Fire" outside, it would still take at least seven months.
However, during his seclusion within the core of the "Myriad Fires All-Encompassing Origin-Fortifying Grand Array," he spent just over two months completely refining the last wisp of Fourth Tier "Nirvana Spirit Fire" into the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword."
Then, there was no need to search for "Fire Qi" elsewhere, as the "Myriad Fires All-Encompassing Origin-Fortifying Grand Array" contained a large amount of "Fire Qi", especially in the "core of the array", where the "Fire Qi" that could be absorbed was both abundant and of high quality.
Kong Wenxuan spent another month refining the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" to extract enough "Fire Qi" to complete the final purification and upgrade, successfully advancing it to the Fourth Tier Law Treasure level.
At this point, two of the "Five Elements Divine Swords" refined by Kong Wenxuan have successfully advanced to the Fourth Tier Law Treasure level: the Fourth Tier Law Treasure "Azure Wood Divine Sword" and the Fourth Tier Law Treasure "Crimson Fire Divine Sword".
After that, even without the help of the "sea of fire" formed by the "Myriad Fires All-Encompassing Origin-Fortifying Grand Array", he was still able to activate the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" to create One Sword Gives Rise to Ten Thousand Laws, transforming it into a "Sword Light Sea of Fire" to kill enemies.
