Putting the Edge Refining Hall to the Test, Qin Lingkong of the Qin Clan's Twin Heroes

At that moment.

Gu Qingming was repairing a mysterious scroll.

The scroll was suffused with an incomparably rich immortal Dao presence.

It also reflected wondrous sights of the heavens and myriad worlds, the sky and earth, the sun and moon.

Gu Xuanjin recognized it as the Gu Clan's Primordial Heaven Supreme Simplicity Diagram and Book.

In that battle deep in the starry sky.

It had withstood three immortal weapons of the same level and the self-destructions of three Half-Step Void Immortal Realm experts.

It had sustained some damage.

After this period of repair, it was nearly restored.

After the disciple who had brought Gu Xuanjin in withdrew.

Only the old ancestor and Gu Xuanjin remained in the vast hall.

Gu Xuanjin stood to one side.

He had little interest in artifact refining.

So he simply watched the old ancestor work in silence.

After waiting around half an hour.

Gu Qingming finally finished refining it, and the Primordial Heaven Supreme Simplicity Diagram and Book was restored to its original state.

Gu Qingming slowly turned around.

Seeing Gu Xuanjin there, he looked somewhat surprised.

Gu Qingming smiled gently and said:

"What brings the divine son to the Edge Refining Hall?

Surely you didn't come especially to see an old fellow like me."

Gu Xuanjin went straight to the point.

"There are a few artifacts I need Ancestor Qingming's help refining."

Gu Qingming smiled faintly. "No problem."

As he saw it.

Although Gu Xuanjin's current strength was terrifying.

The best artifacts he could wield perfectly were probably supreme-grade divine weapons.

He hadn't gone to the artifact-refining elders.

Perhaps he thought what Gu Qingming refined would be better.

Under Gu Qingming's gaze.

Gu Xuanjin took out two longswords.

One was a blood-colored longsword brimming with vicious savagery.

The other was a snow-white longsword shrouded in a hazy immortal presence.

They were none other than the two immortal weapons, Purgatory Blood Slaughter and Abyssal Blowing Snow!

A dense immortal Dao pressure swept through the surroundings in an instant.

Gu Qingming's expression shifted slightly and grew solemn.

"Those are the two immortal weapons from the sword mound!"

"Divine son, are you planning to use these two immortal weapons as trump cards?"

As an ancestor of the Gu Clan.

He naturally recognized where the two swords had come from.

Especially Abyssal Blowing Snow.

It had been left behind by the most monstrous prodigy from the Gu Clan's early days.

Gu Xuanjin nodded slightly, offering no further explanation.

Then he took out a sword-shaped embryo.

It was shrouded in illusory purple divine light, with a wondrous, supreme sword Dao origin flowing through it.

The Primordial Chaos Sword Embryo!

Looking at the Primordial Chaos Sword Embryo.

A trace of astonishment flashed in Gu Qingming's eyes.

He had refined artifacts for countless years and knew the world's rare materials like the treasures in his own home.

Yet he had never seen one before.

A sword-shaped embryo of such utter purity, as though it had been born from the origin of the Great Dao itself!

"Sorry to trouble you, Ancestor, but please reforge this sword embryo together with Abyssal Blowing Snow."

"Then reforge Purgatory Blood Slaughter into a long saber like a goose-quill saber."

As Gu Xuanjin spoke.

He also took out.

The Nine-Bend Hell-Burying Sword Formation Diagram and eight longswords at the extreme Dao emperor weapon level.

"There's more."

"First, refine this sword formation diagram into an extreme Dao emperor weapon."

"Then just refine these eight longswords into ordinary immortal weapons."

Hearing Gu Xuanjin's words.

Gu Qingming couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Of all these requests.

The simplest was refining an extreme Dao emperor weapon.

Good grief, was Gu Xuanjin treating him like a machine...?

Gu Qingming immediately said with a wry smile, "Divine son, that's quite a workload you've given me!"

Even though his artifact-refining skills had reached the pinnacle.

It would be utterly impossible to refine so many emperor weapons into immortal weapons in a short time.

Gu Xuanjin said calmly:

"Ancestor Qingming, I'm in no hurry.

Abyssal Blowing Snow, Purgatory Blood Slaughter, and the Nine-Bend Hell-Burying Sword Formation Diagram.

You only need to refine these three artifacts for me first."

Gu Qingming could tell that Gu Xuanjin wasn't in much of a hurry.

But he also wanted those three artifacts soon.

Gu Qingming could only shake his head helplessly and smile.

"All right, then. I'll do my best to finish refining these three artifacts for you first, Divine Son."

"Thank you for your efforts with the rest, Ancestor Qingming."

Before long, Gu Xuanjin left the Edge Refining Hall.

Looking at the many longswords before him.

Gu Qingming's face grew somewhat troubled, and he couldn't help giving a soft, wry chuckle.

Refining immortal weapons took time and effort, and he might not be able to handle it all on his own.

So Gu Qingming went to the ancestral shrine.

He brought the Ninth Ancestor and several other ancestors who knew how to refine artifacts back with him.

Before long.

Inside the Edge Refining Hall.

Several figures with incomparably terrifying presences each employed their own methods and began refining.

These were all things the divine son needed, so the Ninth Ancestor and the others did not refuse to help.

Meanwhile, Gu Xuanjin had already returned to the Dao Evolution Hall.

He had dealt with all the trifling matters.

Now he could finally turn his attention to the matter of the protagonist, Qin Hao.

Seated on the sword Dao throne, Gu Xuanjin pondered for a moment, then summoned Ji Song.

Sensing the vast, surging power within the young man's body.

Gu Xuanjin smiled.

"I didn't expect you to have entered the Quasi-Emperor realm after only a few days apart, Uncle Ji."

Ji Song laughed heartily.

"Please don't tease me, Divine Son."

"I wasted so many years before cultivating to the Quasi-Emperor realm. People would laugh if word got out."

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries.

Gu Xuanjin suddenly asked:

"Uncle Ji.

Of the Longevity Qin Clan in the Azure Heaven Dao Domain.

Has Qin Lingkong, who was once known alongside my uncle Qin Wusheng as one of the Qin Clan's twin heroes.

Returned from the latest battle between the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty and the Heavenly Yu Divine Kingdom?"

The Great Qian Imperial Dynasty and the Heavenly Yu Divine Kingdom were the most powerful dynasties in the Azure Heaven Dao Domain.

Both had extraordinarily long histories.

The depths of their foundations were in no way inferior to those of the top sects and Dao lineages.

But one mountain could not hold two tigers.

So the two great dynasties had sought to swallow each other since ancient times.

Each seeking to rule the Azure Heaven Dao Domain alone.

And the current Qian Emperor was an immensely ambitious and capable sovereign of the ages!

He sought out talent, welcomed advice, and enacted all manner of reforms.

Under his leadership.

The Great Qian Imperial Dynasty flourished, its might greater than ever.

Its overall national strength had even begun to edge ahead of the Heavenly Yu Divine Kingdom's.

The clashes between the two dynasties had gone from minor skirmishes in the past.

To all-out wars now, each side bent on destroying the other.

Each battle was more brutal than the last.

Although the Heavenly Yu Divine Kingdom had repeatedly suffered setbacks in the fighting over the past few years, losing more often than it won.

The current ruler of the Heavenly Yu Divine Kingdom and Qin Lingkong were close friends.

Seeing his good brother struggling more and more to hold on.

Qin Lingkong had no choice but to intervene in this war between nations.

Although an ordinary Quasi-Emperor could not sway the course of such a war.

The Longevity Qin Clan stood behind Lingkong.

Even so, the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty would not have feared the Qin Clan at its peak.

Much less the Qin Clan now that it had declined.

But what left the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty helpless.

Was that the Qin Clan also happened to have ties to the Gu Clan of the Northern Nether Dao Domain.

Especially recently.

After the Gu Clan had forcefully destroyed several top Demon Race factions in the Heavenly Demon Dao Domain.

The Great Qian Imperial Dynasty was even less willing to provoke the Gu Clan, that terrifying colossus.

Even though Qin Lingkong was like a toad: he didn't bite, but he was disgusting.

His presence here tied their hands and made the war unbearably stifling to fight.

The Great Qian Imperial Dynasty ultimately did not dare go too far and could only proceed step by step.

Ji Song thought back for a moment.

"Qin Lingkong probably hasn't returned yet.

The fighting between the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty and the Heavenly Yu Divine Kingdom is at its most heated now.

He can't get away."
