The Black Water Divine Sword Advances to a Fourth-Tier Law Treasure; the Grand Court Assembly Is Convened Early
Back then, Kong Wenxuan secluded himself in the core array eye of the "Myriad Fires All-Encompassing Origin-Fortifying Grand Array" in "Bifang Commandery" to cultivate, refine and enhance the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword", directly increasing the speed of sword refining and cultivation by more than two times.
Now, within the core array of the "Myriad Waters Mori Origin-Securing Grand Formation" in this "Xuanniao Commandery," the speed of refining and upgrading the "Black Water Divine Sword" is about the same.
The refinement and upgrade of the "Black Water Divine Sword," which originally took six or seven years to complete, can now be completed in just over two years within the core array eye of the "Long Live All-Encompassing Grand Array."
This time, Kong Wenxuan directly exchanged for more than two years of secluded cultivation time in the core array eye of the "Myriad Waters Mori Origin-Securing Grand Formation" from the "Exchange Treasure Vault" provided by the "Extended Net Moon Deer" Lu Household, in order to complete the refinement and upgrading of the "Black Water Divine Sword" in one go.
In fact, to make up for the two years of secluded cultivation time, Kong Wenxuan's merits in the great war were not enough, so he had to borrow some merits from his clansmen to make up the difference.
Of course, the clan fully supports this, and even wants to put all the merits on Kong Wenxuan so that he can exchange them for more time for secluded cultivation.
After all, the clansmen were well aware that the Kong Household had come this far thanks to Kong Wenxuan.
Only Kong Wenxuan becomes stronger can he lead the Kong Household to continue to rise, go further, and become even stronger.
Therefore, while the clansmen can exchange for some resources and spiritual items, they also need to fully support Kong Wenxuan in his cultivation and growth. They clearly understand the priorities in this matter.
However, Kong Wenxuan did not ask for more. He had already completed the refinement and upgrading of the three "Five Elements Divine Swords" to the Fourth Tier Law Treasure, so he was very clear about the time and resources required for the refinement and upgrading of the "Black Water Divine Sword".
Therefore, it only takes a little over two years to exchange for merits, and the remaining merits can be used by the clansmen to exchange for the resources and supplies they need.
And so, time flew by, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the core of the "Myriad Waters Mori Origin-Securing Grand Formation," where Kong Wenxuan was in seclusion, he formed hand seals and activated the "Golden Core Power," sending the final treasure seal into the "Black Water Divine Sword" in front of him.
Buzz!
After more than two years of refinement and improvement in this "Pseudo-Innate" water-based land, the "Black Water Divine Sword" is now at a crucial stage of its advancement.
As the "divine sword" hummed and trembled, the black sword light and Sword Qi flowing on it had increased several times compared to two years ago. The sword tip emitted sword light and entered the jade bottle below, swallowing the last bit of Fourth Tier "spiritual water" in the bottle, refining and integrating it into the "Black Water Divine Sword", instantly pushing it to the peak of Third Tier Treasure Artifact.
Only the final "Water Elemental Sha Qi" refinement is needed to break through to the Fourth Tier Law Treasure realm.
Within this "Myriad Waters Mori Origin-Securing Grand Formation," the most abundant element is "Water-based Sha Qi," where Kong Wenxuan can directly complete the final purification and advancement of Sha Qi.
This was also a key reason why Kong Wenxuan took more than two years to exchange the currency.
Two years was enough time for him to refine the "Black Water Divine Sword" and devour and refine all nine portions of Fourth Tier "spiritual water" in his possession. The extra three months were used to collect "water-elemental Sha Qi" to complete the final refinement and advancement of the "Black Water Divine Sword".
Compared to the previous three-fold acceleration of refining and enhancing the "Black Water Divine Sword Sha Qi," this time, refining the "Black Water Divine Sword" with "Water Elemental Evil Qi" cannot be accelerated because it does not involve the "innate" water elemental Spiritual Qi. It must take three months and cannot be shortened.
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan continued his seclusion for another three months at the core of the "Myriad Waters Mori Origin-Securing Grand Formation".
During these three months, "water-elemental Sha Qi" was continuously collected from the "Myriad Waters All-Encompassing Grand Array" to refine the "Black Water Divine Sword" and complete its final transformation and enhancement.
Three months later, when the last wisp of "water-elemental Sha Qi" entered the "Black Water Divine Sword," the entire "Divine Sword" flew up directly, humming and vibrating in mid-air. Black Water sword light and Sword Qi shone brightly on it, directly condensing and manifesting into a surging black river around the "Black Water Divine Sword," sweeping up the surrounding "Pseudo-Innate" water-elemental Spiritual Qi. The "black river" continued to grow and expand, its sword power boundless!
The "Black Water Divine Sword" has been successfully upgraded to the Fourth Tier Law Treasure level.
At this point, Kong Wenxuan's "Five Elements Divine Swords" have successfully completed the advancement of four divine swords, with only the last one, the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword," yet to be advanced to the Fourth Tier Law Treasure level.
With the successful advancement of the "Black Water Divine Sword," the "Golden Core" within Kong Wenxuan's Purple Mansion also grew stronger, increasing more than one level, resulting in a significant improvement in his cultivation and strength.
He is now not far from advancing to the Late Golden Core Stage.
Li! Li li...
Within the Golden Core, the faint sound of Peacock's song could even be heard, indicating that the Peacock Bloodline integrated into the Golden Core was also growing, becoming more active and powerful.
For cultivators of the "True Spirit Realm" bloodline, the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage is not only about nurturing, enhancing, and strengthening the Golden Core, but also about nurturing and enhancing the "True Spirit Bloodline." When the Golden Core breaks through to the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Realm, this nurtured, enhanced, and strengthened "True Spirit Bloodline" will also be nurtured and generated into a "True Spirit Dharma Manifestation," becoming a major fighting force for the bloodline cultivator.
Previously, in the Early Golden Core Stage, Kong Wenxuan could sense the growth and transformation of the "Peacock Bloodline" integrated into the "Golden Core," but he did not experience such obvious changes or sensations as he does now.
Now that the "Black Water Divine Sword" has been refined and upgraded, and the Golden Core has grown and strengthened once again, the "Peacock Bloodline" that has been integrated into the Golden Core and nurtured within it has finally begun to stir, allowing him to sense it more clearly.
Based on this calculation, perhaps once he completes the final refinement and enhancement of the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" and raises his cultivation to the Late Golden Core Stage, he should be able to fully nurture and sense the "Peacock Bloodline".
"Some Golden Core cultivators from deeply rooted ' True Spirit Lineage,' upon reaching the Peak Golden Core Stage, have their ' True Spirit Bloodline ' nurtured to its extreme. It is said that they can prematurely mobilize some of the power of their ' True Spirit Bloodline,' unleashing some of the power and combat strength of a ' Half-Step Dharma Manifestation.' If things continue like this, perhaps I can try it out myself someday..."
Kong Wenxuan pondered these thoughts, then recalled the "Black Water Divine Sword," which had already advanced to the Fourth Tier of Law Treasure, and returned it to his Purple Mansion. It embraced and circled the other four "divine swords," receiving the "Golden Core," and also suppressed the throbbing of the "Peacock Bloodline" within the "Golden Core."
This is not the place to test the Fourth Tier "Black Water Divine Sword," and he has already completed the refinement and advancement of the "Black Water Divine Sword," achieving his goal. There is no need for him to stay here any longer.
He took out the Xuanniao tablet given to him by the Xuan Household, and activated it, instantly opening a path to the outside world.
Kong Wenxuan then passed through the passage and returned to the palace where the Xuan Household was operating the grand formation.
The same Golden Core array master from the Xuan Household was guarding the place. Upon seeing Kong Wenxuan emerge, he immediately greeted him with a smile, saying, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Kong, on another advancement in your cultivation! The path to immortality is within your reach!"
Kong Wenxuan immediately returned the greeting with a broad smile, saying, "Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Xuan. It is thanks to the assistance of the ' Myriad Waters All-Encompassing Grand Array ' of your esteemed Lineage that I have been able to achieve what I have."
"If the opportunity arises in the future, I will certainly repay you."
Kong Wenxuan intended to befriend the Xuan Household. After all, although he had completed the refinement and enhancement of the "Black Water Divine Sword," there were still many people in the clan who could use the "Myriad Waters All-Encompassing Grand Array" array core for closed-door cultivation and improvement.
Leaving aside the others, the clan leader Kong Changgeng is a "Black Water Talisman Slip" for refining and cultivating, which is suitable for accelerating cultivation at the core of this "Myriad Waters All-Encompassing Grand Array".
Therefore, he was willing to be on good terms with the Xuan Household, hoping that he could secure opportunities for the clan leader and others to enter the formation for cultivation in the future.
"Haha... Fellow Daoist Kong, you're too kind." The Xuan Household's Golden Core array master replied politely with a smile, "We're all helping each other out; who knows, we might even have to fight together in the future."
The other party did not refuse Kong Wenxuan's offer of goodwill. After all, the Xuan Household was aware of Kong Wenxuan's reputation and the methods he had demonstrated in the great battle, and naturally they were willing to establish a good relationship with him.
As the two were exchanging pleasantries, Kong Wenxuan suddenly sensed something, took out a communication Jade Slip from his Storage Bag, its surface shimmering with spiritual light, clearly indicating that a message was coming. He immediately apologized to the Golden Core array master of the Xuan Household opposite him, and then probed the communication Jade Slip with his Spiritual Consciousness to check the message inside.
The message came from the Lineage through the "Peacock True Spirit Star," and it was only one message: the Bifang Commandery government announced that the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty" grand court assembly would be held ahead of schedule!
