Chapter 78 - The Worship of Ten Thousand Beasts, Thunder Fire Lightning Whip

Chapter 78: The Worship of Ten Thousand Beasts, Thunder Fire Lightning Whip

The others could not help but think of the many Thunder Spirit Immortal Stones that Bai Haoyu had added, as well as the last human-shaped Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone. It must have contained an enormous amount of lightning attribute energy.

"I didn't expect that Bai Haoyu would be able to cause such a commotion. It seems that the thing he refined is about to be born."

It was the same as pill refining. Refining a high-level item would cause such a huge commotion. Looking at the lightning dragon hovering in mid-air, it was so lifelike that it looked no different from a real dragon. Everyone could not help but exclaim in admiration.

"I wonder what Bai Haoyu is refining."

"I originally thought that Ou Yechen would be the first to succeed. I didn't expect it to be Bai Haoyu."

"You can't say that. There's no rule that the first to succeed is the most powerful. I think Ou Yechen will be the best."

"That's right. Furthermore, Bai Haoyu relies on most of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Which of those materials isn't powerful and extremely precious? In terms of true strength, Ou Yechen is more powerful."

"Hehe, you're speaking as if Ou Yechen didn't use the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace. He's also using the power of a lot of external things."

Before the results of the competition were out, Ou Yechen and Bai Haoyu's supporters had already started quarreling. Everyone had different views. Some thought that Bai Haoyu was powerful. After all, only high-grade materials could make good Magic Artifacts and weapons.

Some thought that Ou Yechen was the true successor of his ancestors and deserved to be number one in weapon refinement. All in all, the people in the competition were focused on weapon refinement, and the people outside were not idle either.

Just as everyone was quarreling, the sky above them rumbled. Countless lightning bolts transformed into beasts and arrived above Bai Haoyu. It was as if ten thousand beasts were worshipping him, and all of them lowered their arrogant heads.

The scene was extremely shocking. Countless violet beams of light poured into the furnace, and it looked like a whale swallowing everything it touched. As it breathed, lightning flashed, and the spiritual energy in the furnace reached its peak.

"We're almost there!"

Everyone's hearts were hanging in their throats.

All ten thousand beasts cried out in unison! It was so deafening that it sounded like they were celebrating its birth.

It was rumored that if all living things in the world wanted to achieve true results, they would have to experience the punishment of Heavenly Lightning. However, this Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone was accidentally contaminated with karma. Perhaps the Heavenly Lightning had accidentally struck it, causing it to be contaminated with its power. Together with the leaked spiritual energy, it seized the secrets of the Heavens and gave birth to a human form.

At the same time, it also recorded the lives under Heavenly Lightning. It was no wonder that when the spiritual energy gathered, it was able to cause such a strange phenomenon.

A dark purple figure slowly appeared in mid-air. Like a bolt of lightning, it suddenly lit up the gray sky, blinding everyone's eyes.

Countless lightning and fire surrounded it, like stars surrounding the moon. A whip appeared in everyone's line of sight. The light around its body shone so brightly that it seemed to leave deep marks in the sky. Countless bolts of lightning gathered at this moment.

Shockingly, there were traces of lightning on the handle of the whip. At the top of the whip was a blue stone that looked like a baby. It looked like a miniature version of the human-shaped Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone from before.

However, this time, its eyes were half-open, as if it had really come to life.

When everyone saw this, they were incredulous. "How can this Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone be so well-preserved?! Could it be that Bai Haoyu didn't use it just now?"

However, its body had indeed shrunk by more than half. Rather than saying that it had shrunk, it was more accurate to say that it had been condensed into its essence. It had fused with the Divine Whip, unleashing even more powerful spiritual power than before.

"It can be seen that the spiritual intelligence of this Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone has not been completely wiped out. I believe that it won't be long before it will be nourished by spiritual energy, and it will be able to give birth to a Divine Embryo that is even more powerful than before."

"Bai Haoyu's forging technique is simply superb. Even in such a situation, the foundation of the Immortal Stone hasn't been destroyed. It's enough to show how high his skill in weapon refinement is."

Everyone understood the reasoning behind this and gasped in amazement. It turned out that Bai Haoyu had not planned to use up this Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone in the first place. Instead, he had done his best to preserve it.

After all, a human-shaped Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone had never been seen before. Bai Haoyu naturally would not recklessly waste it. He would preserve its foundation and let it become the spirit of the weapon. It could be said that he was using it to its fullest potential.

It sounded simple, but it was extremely difficult to do. Furthermore, it required superb techniques. If there was even the slightest mistake, it was very likely that it would become problematic.

However, from the final result, Bai Haoyu had made the right move! In the end, the two fused perfectly, giving the magical item infinite room to grow.

When the Divine Whip descended, Heaven and Earth shook. The thunder element was extremely active. The Divine Whip was surrounded by tiny bolts of lightning, which were the essence of a condensed form. It might seem like a small spark, but] a light wave of the whip could seriously injure a Dragon Transformation stage expert.

At the same time, Sword Mountain seemed to have sensed something and let out a cry of contention.

"Thunder Fire Lightning Whip!"

Bai Haoyu lightly shook his hand, and the whip in his hand moved like a divine dragon, surging with the power of thunder and lightning.

"Using such a Thunder Spirit Immortal Stone, it is indeed extraordinary. Who can compete with this whip?"

"You are speaking too early. Ou Yechen's whip hasn't been refined yet. It is still too early to decide the outcome of the round."

At this moment, because of the birth of the Thunder Fire Lightning Whip, many contestants had been affected. A few of them had yet to even form an embryo. This was due to the thunder and lightning.

Shockingly, there was an undetectable crack on one of the contestant's weapon. It was as if there was a tiny hole in a perfectly intact container, and the spiritual energy instantly drained out.

"No, don't!"

The contestant's face was pale, and he desperately tried to repair it. However, the Thunder Fire Lightning Whip's pressure was too heavy, and the crack spread rapidly like a spider web. Soon, the embryo lost its original spiritual energy.

No matter how he tried to repair it, he could not prevent the embryo from collapsing and being destroyed.

Chapter 79 - Heaven and Earth Combined, Yin and Yang!

Chapter 79: Heaven and Earth Combined, Yin and Yang!

This also meant that he lost the qualification to compete and had no hope of making a comeback. Refining weapons was not like refining pills. One would prepare many materials, and there was only one copy. If one failed, one would not be able to refine it again.

"His embryo also has a lot of spiritual energy. He was so close too. What a pity."

He was not the only one. There were many others who had the same fate. They could not bear it, and could not accept the outcome. They fainted on the spot.

Everyone sighed, but there was nothing they could do. After all, it was their fault for not being able to withstand the pressure of the Thunder Fire Lightning Whip. It could only be said that their skills were inferior.

Even if Bai Haoyu did not deliberately target them, such a Spirit Weapon was extremely domineering. It announced its existence as soon as it was born.

Although the others were not affected like this, they would not walk away unscathed. Only Ou Yechen's expression was relaxed, as if he was cut off from the world. He did not take notice to these changes.

Bai Haoyu looked very pleased. He held the Divine Whip in his hand, and his gaze fell on Ou Yechen. At the moment, he was still in the forging process. Other than the commotion caused by the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace, everything else was normal.

"So what if he's the descendant of the God of Forging, Ou Yezi? He'll still fall behind me. I don't believe that he'll be able to refine something even more powerful than this."

Bai Haoyu thought that he was certain of victory and had the upper hand. When he saw that Ou Yechen was only so-so, a look of contempt appeared on his face.

Han Tian could not help but sigh when he saw this. His good friend's talent was indeed outstanding, but it was inevitable that he would be a little arrogant.

"Ou Yechen hasn't even refined it yet. It's better not to let down your guard."

Bai Haoyu was not paying attention. "Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that even if he refines anything, it won't be able to compare to the Thunder Fire Lightning Whip in my hand."

As soon as he finished speaking, he did not expect that the face slapping would come so quickly.

In the next second, Bai Haoyu's expression became serious. Someone cried out in alarm, "Look! What's that?"

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the voice.

Not too far away, a vast expanse of violet Qi filled the sky. It came from the east in a vast and mighty manner. Even the lightning was forced back into a corner by it, gradually gathering above the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace.

An ancient aura emanated out from the furnace, as if an ancient God who had been sleeping for a long time had been awakened. The violet clouds covered it, giving birth to some sort of mystery. The entire sky was covered in such colors.

The black and white gases kept rising and falling in the purple clouds, as if a small world had been born. Countless ancient totems and runes were surrounding it, giving off an unintelligible yet powerful aura. It had faintly touched the edge of Dao!

"It's really too shocking."

Everyone could see that although this small world had not completely formed, it had already formed its own system. The Yin-yang five elements and the Tai Chi eight trigrams patterns covered the top of the entire furnace.

The Dao felt very soothing, as if it was formed naturally.

"Heaven is Heaven, Earth is Earth, Heaven and Earth are one. Yin and yang lean against each other. Rise!" Ou Yechen chanted, and the originally unmoving furnace began to tremble. Countless white smoke rose and was released from it.

His hands formed a complex and mysterious ancient mark, as if it was an extremely ancient language. He used another method to communicate with Heaven and Earth. A dense and huge array patterns quickly covered the entire arena, and even Sword Mountain was affected.

When everyone saw this scene, even their souls were taken away, and they came into a mysterious and mysterious space.

White fog lingered, and it was as if a fairyland had descended. One could see the towers, palaces, and carved railings. The extremely luxurious fairyland stood on the clouds, exuding a majestic and magnificent aura. Everyone itched to explore this place.

At the same time, the Tai Chi eight trigrams pattern also slowly rose, quickly covering the original sky. This time, the range was even greater than the previous lightning rampage.

It was as if everyone could only look up to the Tai Chi diagram, and even the Divine Whip from before was eclipsed.

The sound of the Great Dao could be heard from the horizon, as if it were telling a supreme mystery. Everyone was entranced by it.

Only Bai Haoyu's face was ashen. The tiny person on the Divine Whip had already opened its eyes slightly, and it would be able to fully open its eyes soon. By that time, it would be even more powerful.

However, under such circumstances, its eyes were slowly closing!

"How could this be?!" Bai Haoyu said in disbelief, unable to accept such a blow.

Han Tian could not help but sigh as he looked at Ou Yechen, who was standing not too far away. His face was as calm as ever, and he was neither happy nor sad.

Han Tian said, "He's usually silent, but when he makes a move, it dominates the entire arena. His tool embryo hasn't even formed yet, and he's already such a threat to you. If he succeeds…"

He did not finish the rest of his sentence. Clearly, he did not want to offend his friend. However, Bai Haoyu understood what he meant. He gripped the Divine Whip in his hand so tightly that the veins on his forehead were popping out.

"I've studied hard for many years, and I have the support of my clan's enormous wealth. Why can't I compare to him?!"

Bai Haoyu was unwilling to accept this. In the past, the Ou Family had not participated in the Dao Conference in the Capital. He did not know why they chose to come out this year.

If not for Ou Yechen, a powerful opponent, the position of number one in artifact refinement would definitely belong to him!

Golden Light suddenly erupted from within the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace. It could be seen that the small world from before should have already matured. It was just that he did not know what kind of divine object it would give birth to.

He could vaguely see the sun rising and the moon setting. The four seasons were reincarnated. The plants withered and flourished. It was clearly just a small lump, but he could feel the Great Dao of life and death, karma, and many other Great Daos!

It was as if everyone had touched upon a divine, profound, and shocking wisdom. There were thousands of people and thousands of faces. Most importantly, everyone could actually see something different from it. After a round of discussion, they were shocked to the extreme.

Chapter 80 - The Sword That Carried the Dragon's Roar Into the Nine Heavens!

Chapter 80: The Sword That Carried the Dragon's Roar Into the Nine Heavens!

"What exactly is Ou Yechen trying to refine? Why do I seem to see the river of time surging past us?!"

"I saw the connection between the power of karma, and even saw some things that had happened in the past. Suddenly, I had some new insights in my heart."

"I didn't see anything. It was as if I had a spring and autumn dream."

"I felt as if I had come to the Immortal Palace. I saw the Goddess dancing, eating a Thousand-year-old Saturn Peach, and drinking the Jade Nectar. How happy was that?"

That person said so with a look of endless aftertaste, causing the listeners to yearn for it.

However, all of this was caused by Ou Yechen. Now, his Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace was entirely made of gold, as the color changed, the energy became stronger and stronger.

In an instant, it swept through the entire scene, causing many people to take half a step back.

"Did you hear anything?"

The moment his voice fell, the Sword Mountain not far away suddenly erupted with a dragon's cry! The entire mountain began to tremble, as if something was about to come out.

Whether it was the people outside or inside the scene, they could feel the ground shaking, as if the Earth Dragon was rolling.

Roar!

Everyone felt as if their eardrums were about to be shattered. The thing in the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace was finally revealed, and the small world shattered into countless pieces.

In the golden light that filled the sky, a cold treasure sword appeared out of thin air. Two five-clawed golden dragons surrounded the sides of the body, as if they were the most loyal guardians. The dragon's eyes were bright and full of spirit, and the dragon's might was so great that no one dared to look at it directly.

The golden dragon slowly entered the sword, and the dragon's cry continued.

To seize the brilliance of the great sun, cast it into a sword, and then borrow the power of the universe to forge it into a Sword Soul, who would have such a spirit and skill.

Once this sword was unleashed, a powerful and scorching aura swept across the entire scene. Even the weapons on the Sword Mountain could sense it and let out a buzzing sound.

The dragon's cry of the Nine Heavens, a shocking sword, caused the Sword Mountain to cry out in unison. Such a scene was deeply engraved in everyone's minds.

Ou Yechen was neither sad nor happy. He held the Divine Sword in his hand and swept it lightly. Wherever he passed, it was as if a king was patrolling his territory. The other competitors, who had finally formed their artifact embryos, once again had a few more cracks.

Although some people had escaped Bai Haoyu's Divine Whip, they could not escape this shocking sword strike.

The power was clearly stronger than before. Bai Haoyu's face was ashen when he saw this. He knew that he had lost slightly. After all, even his Divine Whip had been affected.

At this moment, the spiritually-filled little man had completely closed his eyes. The truth was right in front of him, and he had no choice but to admit it.

"As expected of Ou Yezi's descendant. He really is powerful. I admit defeat."

However, Bai Haoyu was completely convinced of his loss. After all, Ou Yezi was known as the God of Forging, so how could his descendants be ordinary? However, he had never imagined that Ou Yechen would be so powerful. He simply did not lose out to his ancestors. In the end, he underestimated his opponent.

"Even Bai Haoyu said so. It seems that Ou Yechen is indeed powerful. He should be the final winner."

Everyone present was amazed. There were not many contestants left on the stage. Most of them were affected by the Divine Whip or Sword Qi. Under the powerful pressure, the embryo of the weapon would be damaged and could not be formed. Even if it was formed, it still leaked spiritual Qi.

At this point, some people finally noticed Gu Xi, who was in the corner. Immediately, a lot of waves were stirred up.

There was no other reason. Just when everyone was in a frenzy of refining, Gu Xi had not even started.

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

"What is he doing? Could it be that he's here to make up the numbers?"

"He's the number one in alchemy. Even the Alchemy Emperor bowed down to him. You haven't seen such a scene. It can be said that it caused a stir in the entire stadium, causing countless alchemists to go crazy over him."

"You can't be bragging, right? So what if he's powerful in the Dao of alchemy? At this moment, he probably doesn't even know how to make a move. I think his weapon refinement skills should be very ordinary."

Most of the people present were weapon refiners. They did not hold Gu Xi in high esteem as they did in the first match. After all, refining a supreme divine weapon was their lifelong pursuit.

So what if Gu Xi's pill refinement was powerful?

Therefore, not many people paid attention to him.

"Could it be that the final winner will be Bai Haoyu and Ou Yechen?"

Just as everyone was discussing.

Boom!

A sudden loud sound shook the ground again, shocking everyone to look in the direction of the sound.

Amidst the flying sand and stones, it was Wang Dazhu holding a huge hammer. The hammer was completely black and shone with a black jade-like luster. Countless runes flowed and were carved into it. Scriptures surrounded it, shining with the light of Immortal spirits.

The handle of the hammer was written with the words 'Clear Sky' in ancient characters. The strokes were like dragons and snakes. It looked incomparably rough and had an unspeakable sense of elegance. Due to the passage of time, it was quite worn out. However, one could still sense that it was extraordinary.

1

The divine aura circulating within it was actually not less than that of the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace. One could tell that this hammer was a rare top-grade Magic Treasure.

There were many ways to refine weapons, but the mainstream was still similar to Ou Yechen and Bai Haoyu's methods. There were very few weapons that were forged by hammering.

Blacksmiths believed that this method was only used by blacksmiths in the mortal world. They despised this most primitive forging method because it did not have any technical content and did not reflect their standards.

However, at this moment, the crowd did not dare to criticize Wang Dazhu. It was obviously a simple and ordinary action, but his actions were filled with an indescribable and unknown aura.

"That's the Clear Sky Hammer!"

Chapter 81 - The Power of the Clear Sky Hammer

Chapter 81: The Power of the Clear Sky Hammer

Someone called out the name of the giant hammer. It was rumored that there was a blacksmith whose abilities were not inferior to Ou Yezi's. However, he was a low-profile person with a strange nature. He did not like to interact with people. In addition, he was mysterious, so he was not known by the world.

However, the divine weapon he used, the Clear Sky Hammer, was a well-known throughout the land. It was comparable to the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace. It was rumored that Ou Yezi and this blacksmith once had a world-shaking competition.

Following that, Ou Yezi began his closed-door cultivation. The blacksmith's whereabouts were unknown. At the same time, the Clear Sky Hammer also disappeared. According to Ou Yezi's descendants, the two of them were evenly matched in that competition. In the end, there was no winner.

"I didn't expect that this guy would have the Clear Sky Hammer. It seems that the opportunity that he obtained by chance is the inheritance of that mysterious blacksmith."

Everyone finally understood why Wang Dazhu was able to rise to the Heavens by relying on the opportunity that he obtained by chance. He was even able to form his own faction. It was all because of this mysterious blacksmith.

Ou Yechen, who had been expressionless the entire time, finally revealed a look of admiration when he saw the Clear Sky Hammer.

"That blacksmith was able to be on par with the God of Forging. He definitely has extraordinary strength. I didn't think that Wang Dazhu would have such a fortuitous encounter. Judging from his techniques, he probably had inherited everything."

The other members of the Ou Family had ugly expressions. As the descendants of the God of Forging, they had always adhered to Orthodoxy.

"Our Family is Orthodox. It has been passed down for thousands of years. This person with the hammer only uses unorthodox methods. Furthermore, this person was born in the wilderness. If we were to lose to him, it would be a disgrace to the Ou Family. Young Master, do you have the confidence to win?"

Facing everyone's hope, Ou Yechen was a little silent. He looked at Wang Dazhu, who was waving his huge hammer. He did not have an answer in his heart. Previously, he did not put Wang Dazhu in his eyes. However, now, it was different.

"Back then, there was no result for the battle between the grandmaster and that blacksmith. Do you think there will be a result today?"

Ou Yechen threw out this question. The Ou Family members were all silent. But if they really lost to Wang Dazhu, it would be a disgrace to their Family.

"Maybe we are overthinking. Even if this person has a great opportunity, so what? Our eldest Young Master's talent is not inferior. Moreover, after years of hard work and training, and with the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace recognizing him as its Master, he will surely stand out."

At this moment, Wang Dazhu had reached a critical moment in his weapon refinement.

"First hammer! Refine my Weapon Soul!"

As he roared, the sky and earth changed color. Wildness and divinity were displayed vividly on his body.

In an instant, the wind and clouds suddenly changed. A huge vortex appeared above Wang Dazhu's head. Spiritual power surged, and all kinds of elements gathered together. With the swing of the Clear Sky Hammer, they all poured down.

The ground could not withstand this huge energy, and a deep pit even appeared on the ground. There were several bottomless ravines, as if they were a passage connecting to a different world. A cold aura was emitted from them.

Due to this inexplicable power from beyond the Heavens, the entire land was riddled with holes. Even Sword Mountain was affected. Countless crushed stones rolled down, as if the world was about to be reorganized.

Amidst the flying sand and rocks, Wang Dazhu's figure became more and more blurry. He, who was in the center of the storm, stood still and waved the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand tirelessly.

Countless spiritual energies flowed between Heaven and Earth. After being forged by the Clear Sky Hammer, exquisite essence was extracted and poured into his materials.

The human figure slowly rose, and he was filled with endless mysteries. It was amazing. He was like an ancient God of Forging who had been summoned by his believers and descended into this world.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Look at the sky."

The sky was gray, but in the southeast and northwest direction, there were two balls of light fighting each other.

"Why did the sun and the moon appear?!"

Many people thought that they were hallucinating.

The sun and the moon appeared at the same time, one on the left and the other on the right, balancing each other and occupying the entire sky. At the same time, the stars flickered, surging with inexplicable power and aura.

No one had ever seen such a wonderful scene. Before they could react, the ground shook again.

"The second hammer, cast my Vessel Soul!"

Wang Dazhu waved the heavenly hammer in his hand again. This time, he smashed it even harder!

Two huge hands appeared in the sky at the same time. It seemed that the ancient human race was forging divine weapons here, relying on the most primitive and powerful strength.

An unknown phantom suddenly appeared behind Wang Dazhu. Every movement of his was filled with an ancient aura. It was as if even his dark and ordinary face had become extraordinary.

Everyone had the illusion that the person standing in front of them was not the original Wang Dazhu. It was as if something had crossed the river of time and arrived here.

The sun and moon shone faintly as they slowly sank. At this moment, the world lost its light. Just as the sun and moon alternated and the universe was reversed, the phantom behind Wang Dazhu actually disappeared into the embryo that had yet to take shape.

The originally dim sky burst out with a light that was even more dazzling than before. It was as if a hundred suns had gathered here, and everyone had no choice but to raise their hands to shield their eyes.

It was clearly a boring exercise. One after another, the sounds of banging could be heard endlessly, but Wang Dazhu's figure became extremely majestic and extraordinary.

"It is said that this Clear Sky Hammer weighs tens of thousands of pounds, and it is difficult for ordinary people to swing it. Those who can use this hammer are all people with great strength."

"Do you really think that anyone can use it? The Clear Sky Hammer also recognizes its Master, and being able to wield it for so long shows that Wang Dazhu's talent is quite extraordinary."

"I wonder who is better, the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace or the Clear Sky Hammer."

"These two things are both ancient inheritances, existences comparable to divine artifacts. It's really hard to say which is better."

Chapter 82 - Ancient Giant Traverses the River of Time!

Chapter 82: Ancient Giant Traverses the River of Time!

When Ou Yechen and the others saw this, their expressions were uncertain. There was also the discussion of the people around them, which disturbed their mood.

At this moment, a male voice suddenly came from the side.

"Do you think this country bumpkin can really surpass you? You are the descendant of the God of Forging, Ou Yezi, and that hammer guy is a boorish mountain man. If this gets out, won't others laugh their heads off?"

The person who said this was none other than Bai Haoyu. It was unknown whether he was just watching the show or speaking from the heart, but he had a mischievous expression.

"I admit that I lost to you, but if I lose to him, then the two of us would be too shameless."

Ou Yechen's expression did not change, but upon closer inspection, his emotions were not calm. His solemn gaze had long betrayed all of his emotions. "It's not the last moment yet. The outcome is still unknown."

Bai Haoyu smiled indifferently. "Let him be. I'm not fated to be in first place anyway."

He looked very free and easy. As for what he was thinking, only he himself knew. He was probably not in a much better mood than Ou Yechen at the moment.

The weapon embryo under the Clear Sky Hammer seemed to have been reborn. However, due to the powerful aura it emitted, the divine fog condensed and it was impossible to see what it looked like.

"Do you feel the ground shaking?"

Rumble–

The shaking became more and more intense, and many people felt it. They looked at the source of the shaking and found that it was coming from the top of the Sword Mountain.

"Why do I feel that this mountain is moving?"

This shocked everyone. They could not help but stammer, "Why is the mountain suddenly moving?"

The vibration of the Sword Mountain became more and more obvious. It was like an earthquake. Countless golden sounds came from the sky, like divine weapons intertwined together.

Some of the people who did not have high cultivation levels were affected. They had a splitting headache, and their eardrums started to hurt. It was as if they were going to explode in the next second.

"My head hurts so much. This power is too strong."

Many people's eyes turned bright red as they were affected. They began to regulate their breathing and meditate. At this moment, Wang Dazhu was brandishing the heavenly hammer, as if it was hitting them hard on the heart.

If Wang Dazhu continued to hammer like this, they would go crazy before the divine weapon was forged.

What kind of weapon could cause such a strange phenomenon on the Sword Mountain?

Wang Dazhu kept swinging the Clear Sky Hammer. By the end, everyone was numb. Logically speaking, he should have used up most of his physical strength by now, but with the help of God, his speed became faster and faster.

There were only continuous banging sounds in the arena.

Boom!

As the last strike landed, as if the dust had settled, an overbearing and powerful aura quickly occupied the entire arena.

Wang Dazhu cut his wrist at this time, and countless bright red blood splattered down. The Clear Sky Hammer was also stained with blood, and a thin line of blood condensed from it and entered the embryo.

As if drawing the finishing touch, in an instant, red light burst out. Wang Dazhu's creation condensed and started to take shape. It was heaven-defying.

At the same time, the red light did not disappear. Instead, it continued to rise, connecting to the horizon and forming a mysterious passage. A powerful and ancient aura came from it, and something was about to come out.

"I heard that in ancient times, there was a method of refining weapons. When the embryo was about to take shape, the blood essence of a blacksmith was added. Not only could it increase its grade, but it could also increase its spiritual energy. It was known as the Blood Forging Method."

"But not all blood has an effect. That is also divided among people. It is said that the blood of an ancient race has extraordinary characteristics. If an ordinary person recklessly added the Blood Essence, it would easily backfire. It might even destroy the spiritual energy of the original embryo."

"Could it be that this Wang Dazhu is not an ordinary village man, but the descendant of that ancient race?"

When the Ou Family members heard this, their expressions were somewhat disdainful. "Blood Forging Method? It is just some Unorthodox method. Only those who are not strong enough would rely on this method."

Everyone did not dare to agree with this, but due to the prestige of the Ou Family, it was not good to say anything.

The world shook, and strange phenomena kept happening. With the Blood Essence as the guide, red light spread out to form heavenly ladders, connecting to the vast universe. Even the river of time appeared. The river surged and flowed continuously.

The figure of the Ancient Giant appeared. Stepping on the river of time, he borrowed the power of the red light and waved the weapon in his hand. However, it was covered by the divine fog, so no one could see what he was holding.

His figure was tall and majestic. No one could look at him directly, nor did they dare to blaspheme him. In fact, they could not help but worship him in their hearts.

"What kind of weapon could have such an effect…"

Everyone was looking forward to the weapon that Wang Dazhu had refined.

The giant kept waving, and the dark sky gradually became bright as if Heaven and Earth were separated. Only then did they see what the giant was doing. The giant was expelling clear and turbid qi. Wherever it passed by, all the monsters would disperse.

Everything that touched the sharp weapon instantly vanished into thin air. The sky and earth became clear, and all the filth was removed.

Everyone could not help but think of an ancient legend. It was rumored that at the beginning of Heaven and Earth, there was a giant holding a Divine Axe that split Heaven and Earth apart.

Could it be that Wang Dazhu was refining a Divine Axe?

The moment this thought appeared, Heaven and Earth suddenly became clear. The yin and yang chaos slowly gained order, and the giant seemed to have completed his own mission.

The red light slowly dissipated, and his figure disappeared into the artifact embryo. However, the shock that he left behind could not be erased.

A huge axe appeared in front of them, almost on par with the Clear Sky Hammer.

Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body Chapter 83 Online

Chapter 83 - Staring Blankly at Sword Mountain

Chapter 83: Staring Blankly at Sword Mountain

Green Lotus Princess looked at the scene in front of her, and she could not help but open her eyes wide and murmur, "Could it be that he is the person I am looking for?"

The air was silent. She was the only one in the gorgeous carriage, and no one else could answer this question.

At this moment, even though there was no wind, the bead curtain beside her started to vibrate gently. The clanging sounds were like countless jade pearls falling onto a porcelain plate.

Green Lotus Princess seemed to have thought of something and her expression suddenly became pensive.

Wang Dazhu held a hammer in his left hand and an axe in his right. He was like a God who had split Heaven and Earth. His body slowly overlapped with that of the giant from before. As long as he waved his hand, the heavenly pillar would break and the mountains and rivers would collapse, everything could disappear into nothingness.

Just like the giant who had split Heaven and Earth back then, he had wiped out all the filth and restored the clarity of the world.

After a long time, everyone recovered from their shock. They could not help but sigh. "This Heaven-splitting Axe is indeed powerful. To be able to trigger such a phenomenon, even Sword Mountain was responding to him, as if picking him as the winner."

"I didn't expect that. I originally had high hopes for Ou Yechen. Who would have thought that there would be such a person who suddenly rose up."

Previously, most of the people's gazes were on Ou Yechen. After all, the title of the descendant of the God of Forging was too impressive. It was indeed the case. Ou Yechen did not disappoint.

The prerequisite was that without Wang Dazhu, he was like a dark horse, charging into everyone's line of sight at lightning speed.

"I originally thought that Wang Dazhu was born in the wilderness and his status was not high. It seems that I have underestimated him. The inheritance he obtained was not less than Ou Yechen's. In addition to his talent and hard work, he was able to obtain these results."

"I really envy him. If only one day I could also obtain an opportunity… Maybe I would not rise to the Heavens, but I would be better than this."

"You said it was an opportunity, so naturally, you have to pay attention to fate. As the saying goes, one can only encounter it by chance, but not by seeking it. If it's not fated, I'm afraid that if it's placed in front of you, you will also miss the opportunity."

As Wang Dazhu did not come from a high background, he resonated with many ordinary refiners who were spectating. After all, people like Bai Haoyu and Ou Yechen were still a minority. Most of the contestants did not have such a powerful and rich foundation and wealth.

"Who said that small figures can't make a comeback? This is a living example. So what if they claim to be the Orthodox ancestors? So what if the materials used are high-grade and rare? They will still be defeated. As long as they are ingenious, there is nothing that can not be accomplished."

Bai Haoyu and Ou Yechen's followers wanted to refute this statement, but the facts were right in front of them, and they could not refute it. Even those who were not proficient in forging could tell from the commotion that ensued from the weapon refinement.

Everyone was amazed by the power of this Divine Axe. On the other hand, Bai Haoyu and Ou Yechen had extremely complicated expressions on their faces.

Bai Haoyu was straightforward. "Looks like we lost. He actually won in the end."

Ou Yechen did not say anything. He was the descendant of the God of Forging. His starting point was so high that he left many people behind. He originally thought that this match was a sure-win matter, and he did not even imagine himself losing like this.

Clap, clap, clap.

A round of applause came from the carriage. "Everyone, you have really opened my eyes. Whether it's the Divine Whip, the Divine Sword, or the Divine Axe, none of them has disappointed me."

Green Lotus Princess's sudden words were also an affirmation of Bai Haoyu and the others.

Even if Bai Haoyu and Ou Yechen lost this time, it did not mean that they were not strong enough.

"I will announce that the competition ends here. The people behind us don't have the strength to refine something that surpasses the previous contestants."

After Wang Dazhu, many people thought that the winner and loser had been decided and that there would not be anyone else that could be better. After all, under the influence of such a powerful aura, no weapon embryo could be formed. Even if it was formed, it would still have some flaws.

"Why is there still someone in the arena…"

However, only then did they notice that Gu Xi was still standing there. Many people were speechless.

"This person is really unwilling to give up? The truth is in front of him. So what if he can refine a weapon? It won't change the current situation."

"That's right. Let's not waste our time. Hurry up and announce the results. Let's start the next match."

Many people were making sarcastic remarks. At this moment, a gentle voice sounded like a gentle breeze. The restless crowd immediately quieted down.

"The competition should have a beginning and an end. There's actually another contestant who wants to refine a weapon. Let him refine it then."

The person who said this was Green Lotus Princess. She was clearly sitting in the carriage, but she was able to understand everything that was happening in the arena. It was as if everything was under her control.

"This kid is really lucky. He actually got Green Lotus Princess to speak up for him."

"That's because Princess Qing Lian is a beautiful and kind person. That's why she gave him grace. I want to see what this kid can refine."

In fact, there was a reason why Gu Xi had not started refining. He had been observing how Bai Haoyu, Ou Yechen, Wang Dazhu, and the others were refining.

One had to know that he did not have much experience with weapon refinement. He did not have any substantial and systematic learning. He could only imitate others.

He was not as wealthy as Bai Haoyu and did not have precious materials. He was not like Ou Yechen, who had the lineage of the art of forging for generations. He was not like Wang Dazhu, who had a Heaven-sent opportunity.

What he had was only an extraction system. With this alone, it was enough for him to look down on the heroes and trample everyone under his feet.

Gu Xi's gaze landed on Sword Mountain not far away. It could be said that he did not have any advantage at the moment. However, if he did not have an advantage, then he would create an advantage.

Seeing that Gu Xi had yet to make a move and was staring at Sword Mountain in a daze instead, the others gradually lost their patience. "It can't be that he doesn't know how to refine a weapon, right?"

Chapter 84: Extracting a Mountain?! A Riot of Divine Weapons!

No one knew what kind of brainstorm Gu Xi was brewing. To others, the Sword Mountain was just a mountain, but to Gu Xi, the treasures on it were inexhaustible.

After all, the treasures buried in it were those divine weapons from thousands of years ago. He could simply take out a flawed weapon and repair it, making it come back to life. It would be enough to shock the world.

However, Gu Xi could not test each and every one of them. He did not have the time or opportunity to do so, and he did not know which divine weapon was the most powerful.

He could only use the System four times now. Rather than trying his luck, he might as well take the best one and extract it. Of course, he had to extract its foundation.

There might be strong and weak among these divine weapons, but there was one thing that would not change, so…

Gu Xi gave the order without hesitation.

[System extracting Sword Mountain]

[Ding! Extracting –]

He actually wanted to extract the entire mountain! This idea was simply too crazy.

Hearing the notification sound in his mind, Gu Xi heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he was also thinking of taking a gamble. Due to the special nature of the Sword Mountain, he was not sure if he could succeed. Now, it seemed that everything could be extracted.

Since there were so many divine weapons on the Sword Mountain, it would be a pity if he only took one of them. He might as well make a move on the entire mountain. He was like a child, and he wanted to take all of them! He would not let go of any one of them.

Moreover, Gu Xi guessed that there must be some special reason why the Emperor chose this place back then.

It was impossible for him to randomly choose a place and make it a resting place for these divine weapons. Moreover, these divine weapons all had their own spirituality. Some of them had even been stained with blood from the killings. They had their own murderous aura. If he wanted to suppress them, it would definitely be something even more powerful.

After so many years, the entire Sword Mountain had been stained with the spiritual aura of countless divine weapons. If the Sword Mountain were to take a shape, it would definitely be an extraordinary item.

[Detected that Sword Mountain contains impurities #%@]

Gu Xi's heart sank. He had extracted living beings and dead items before. However, extracting an entire mountain was an unprecedented thing. Therefore, he was not very confident.

Could it be that the system did not detect it, or that it had detected it, but based on his current cultivation level, he was still unable to reach that level? Was this why it appeared so messy?

After a moment, there was no reaction or prompt in his mind, as if the system had suddenly become stuck.

Just as Gu Xi was guessing, the prompt sounded again.

[Do you wish to proceed with the extraction?]

[Due to the special nature of the extraction, it is very likely that the extraction will fail!]

[Yes!]

Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, Gu Xi still wanted to give it a try.

However, in the eyes of the others, Gu Xi's actions did not seem to have any effect.

"Can we stop wasting time? What exactly is this kid waiting for? Trying to be mysterious is just a waste of time."

"I heard that he was like this during the Dao of alchemy competition as well. It's hard to figure out what his next step will be."

"Green Lotus Princess is really blind to speak up for such a person."

Even if he was trying to act cool, he should have the ability to do so. However, it was not like they were refining pills. No one present believed that a person could cultivate two Dao at the same time.

Even Bai Haoyu had a playful expression on his face.

"What do you guys think this kid is up to? It's already a foregone conclusion, so why isn't he giving up?"

Three people would be chosen from the weapon refining competition, and the rest of the rankings were all treated as failures. Now, the results were in front of everyone, Wang Dazhu deserved to be number one. Ou Yechen was second, and Bai Haoyu was third.

Ou Yechen had nothing to do with these matters. He was probably still recovering from the blow of losing to Wang Dazhu. "Let him be. In any case, none of this has anything to do with me."

Wang Dazhu's view was different from theirs. "I like this little brother's temperament. Let's not underestimate him."

He had an ordinary background, and because of his recklessness, he had been ridiculed quite a bit along the way. Presumably, it was because of this reason that he was different from people like Bai Haoyu and Ou Yechen, who had high standards. Instead, he rather admired Gu Xi's way of doing things.

Bai Haoyu could not help but roll his eyes, not commenting on his words.

Perhaps Gu Xi was lucky, or perhaps the Heavens were kind to him.

[Congratulations, host, for successfully extracting the soul of the 10,000-year-old Sword Mountain!]

The system notification in his mind made him feel relieved.

He succeeded!

It could be said that there were many twists and turns, and Gu Xi's mood was like a roller coaster. Anyone who knew that he had such thoughts would be amazed at his whimsical imagination.

However, Gu Xi had did it!

Extracting the entire Sword Mountain was something that no one dared to think about.

Everyone was already impatient. Seeing that Gu Xi had been in a daze for so long, they mocked, "What's the use of looking at the Sword Mountain? Is he expecting Sword Mountain to give him a response?"

The moment they finished speaking.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Sword Mountain suddenly burst out with waves of buzzing sounds, giving everyone a fright. An unprecedented tremor came, and it was even stronger than the previous few times.

The entire mountain was affected by something, so much so that many people fell to the ground. Countless pieces of gravel rolled down the mountain, as if the Sword mMountain was about to disintegrate.

If someone were to go 3,000 meters underground at this moment, they would find that the lower part of Sword Mountain was disintegrating at an extremely terrifying speed, and a ball of white light suddenly flew out from the depths of the Earth's core.

The person who had spoken earlier opened his mouth wide. His mouth was so wide that it could fit an entire egg. He trembled as he said, "Sword, Sword, Sword Mountain really responded to him!"

One had to know that Sword Mountain had been extremely calm before this. However, when Gu Xi was preparing to refine his weapon, there was a sudden movement. Who else could it be if not him!

Chapter 85 - Sword Mountain's Unprecedented Commotion Translator: EndlessF

Chapter 85: Sword Mountain's Unprecedented Commotion

The divine weapons buried on the Sword Mountain seemed to have sensed something as well. They hummed non-stop. Half of their bodies were buried in the ground, but they began to shake violently. They felt like they were about to soar into the sky at any moment.

One had to know that there were thousands of weapons of various forms here. One could imagine the sounds they made.

The huge sound wave swept out to the surroundings with the Sword Mountain as the center, as if there were thousands of soldiers and horses that were charging menacingly.

"Have these weapons gone mad?! Why would they cause such a huge riot?"

Some who couldn't hide in time were hit by the invisible force. They could suddenly taste blood in their mouths, and they suddenly spat out large mouthfuls of blood. Many people hurriedly activated their spiritual energy shields.

No one noticed that there were other things mixed in with this huge spiritual energy fluctuation. However, its speed was too fast. It was so fast that when it was born, everyone only saw a faint white shadow flash by. They rubbed their eyes and thought it was an illusion.

The sudden outbreak of the divine weapons on Sword Mountain caught everyone off guard. However, only Gu Xi's place became a safe zone, as if Sword Mountain was afraid of him.

Compared to everyone who was busy defending against the sound waves and the violent spiritual power, he looked very comfortable, forming a stark contrast. Everyone's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

After an unknown amount of time, everything finally calmed down.

Divine bridges were erected on the horizon, crossing the entire Sword Mountain and landing above them. They could vaguely see the figures of countless weapons, swords, spears, and halberds, floating above their heads, the entire sky was on the verge of collapsing under the pressure.

It was as if they were going to fall down in the next second.

Seeing this, everyone felt a little apprehensive. If the riot just now had happened a few more times, no one would have been able to suppress it.

"I'll go and find out what's going on over there."

In order to prevent something from happening to Sword Mountain, an elder with powerful spiritual power wanted to go and find out. However, the sharp Sword Intent around him forcefully stopped his footsteps.

It was hard for ordinary people to notice the changes in Sword Mountain, as it looked no different from usual. If one looked carefully, they would find that he was surrounded by invisible Sword Qi.

The powerful elder was still cautious and only released a wisp of spiritual sense.

However, the moment he released it, a tsunami-like Sword Intent came at him, covering the sky and Earth. His face turned pale and he retreated rapidly. Fortunately, he was supported by the people beside him.

"Elder, are you okay?"

He shook his head, but in the next second, he spat out fresh blood. His face was as pale as paper. Apparently, his spiritual sense had suffered a lot of injuries.

Fortunately, it was only his spiritual sense that was under that powerful pressure. If it were him who went in, he would probably be torn into pieces on the spot.

Seeing this, everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. One had to know that this elder was a Nirvana stage expert. He had not even entered Sword Mountain yet, but he had already suffered such a serious injury.

"Princess, the current situation of the Sword Mountain is unclear. Do you want your subordinates to send people to check it out?"

Even though the Sword Mountain had regained its calm, the commotion just now was too big. It was like a volcano that could erupt at any time, threatening the safety of the competition grounds. It was inevitable that some people were worried that it would erupt again.

"It's fine. Since it was artificially induced, there's no need to worry. We'll investigate after the competition is over."

There were records that the weapons forged were too heaven-defying, thus causing chaos in Sword Mountain. However, it did not last long. Moreover, there were several Nirvana stage experts present, and many of them had even reached the peak level of the Nirvana stage. Hence, Green Lotus Princess was not worried.

"The Sword Mountain had such a huge reaction. It's too terrifying. The residual power of those divine weapons can not be underestimated even after such a long time."

"What did this kid do?! It feels like the entire Sword Mountain has come to life!"

Everyone was in disbelief. A huge wave of emotions surged in their hearts. Previously, they could see Gu Xi's every move. He clearly did not do anything, but Sword Mountain suddenly erupted. It was simply unbelievable.

However, Green Lotus Princess's eyes were filled with excitement. "Things have become more and more interesting."

After this incident, everyone no longer dared to underestimate Gu Xi. They looked at him as if he was a monster. Even Wang Dazhu could not do what he had just done.

"What kind of monster is this? Could it be that he is also quite talented in refining weapons?"

"That's too unfair, right? It's one thing for him to be so good at refining pills, but he is not inferior in refining weapons either."

"It seems like we have spoken too soon. Before the battle is over, the outcome of the battle is still unknown."

"He hasn't even started refining yet, and he already has such a strange phenomenon. I wonder what he'll look like if he succeeds."

Everyone sighed. Their attitude toward Gu Xi was completely different from before, and they were actually looking forward to it.

Little did they know that when Bai Haoyu heard what they said about Gu Xi, he did not feel too good about it.

Everyone's eyes were on Gu Xi as he finally took action. He had previously obtained the Nine Heavens Meteorite Sword embryo through the system, and now it would come in handy.

When they saw Gu Xi take out the pitch-black iron block, everyone's jaws dropped.

"Is he planning to forge a weapon using that thing?"

They did not feel any spiritual energy in it, as if it was just a block of iron. It was very plain and ordinary. To the spectators, it was not worth their time to even light a fire for such a thing, yet Gu Xi wanted to use it to forge a weapon.

To put it bluntly, it was almost no different from the coal and rocks on the roadside.

"Even if he used it in the smelting process, it wouldn't be of any use. It would be like wasted material. It wouldn't bring any bonus and would instead affect the original quality of the weapon."

Even if a big shot had extraordinary refining methods, he could not use such materials.

"Maybe, maybe there's something special about it that we don't know."

Chapter 86 - The Tables Have Turned Once Again. Everyone Was Suspicious

Chapter 86: The Tables Have Turned Once Again. Everyone Was Suspicious Translation

Everyone racked their brains, but this was the only reason they could think of to convince themselves.

Bai Haoyu saw this and could not help but mock, "There aren't any materials. It's simply embarrassing to take out such an unpresentable thing."

Wang Dazhu looked at him as if nothing had happened, "You seem to have a lot of hostility towards this little brother."

Hearing this, Bai Haoyu's face turned red. He did not know if he was angry or embarrassed, but when he thought of Wang Dazhu's strength, he could only swallow his words.

Ou Yechen stared at the iron block carefully, and there was an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

Seeing that Ou Yechen was in a daze, Bai Haoyu could not help but say, "This thing is worthy of your attention? If it were me, I would feel like I've dirtied my eyes."

"That's not right." Ou Yechen shook his head.

This action made Bai Haoyu confused. "What's not right? I can see that you're mumbling. What exactly are you trying to say?"

Ou Yechen did not answer him. His brows were tightly furrowed. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Ou Yezi had once written a travel diary. It recorded everything that he had seen and heard while he was forging divine artifacts and weapons. He had traveled all over the world to search for materials and recorded his experiences in forging.

However, in reality, it was more like a miscellaneous book. There were all sorts of strange things in it. In addition, there was no basis for research, so the research value was not great. Therefore, very few people in the Ou Family had seen it.

However, when Ou Yechen was bored, he once flipped through a few pages and mentioned a magical material. It looked ordinary and looked like a piece of iron, but in fact, it had a great history. It was said that it came from beyond the Heavens.

"Such a precious material only exists in legends. Even the Patriarch has never seen it. How could he have it?"

Ou Yechen thought about it and felt that he was overthinking things. His gaze once again fell on Gu Xi.

Other than this iron block, Gu Xi had added a few other materials. They were all ordinary ones. The most precious one among them was only the Cold Gold Stone. Even so, such a weapon refinement material could still be considered tattered when compared to the materials used by the other contestants.

Even if it was not compared to a wealthy contestant like Bai Haoyu, compared to the other contestants, the things that Gu Xi used were slightly shabby.

Those who originally had high hopes for Gu Xi suddenly felt a little speechless. In fact, they did not even understand what was going on. However, everyone had witnessed the huge commotion that Sword Mountain had caused just now.

"Maybe this is his special forging method. There are all sorts of wonders in the greater world."

Even if everyone did not believe Gu Xi, they had no choice but to believe in Sword Mountain. After all, only by forging an extraordinary item could Sword Mountain resonate.

Gu Xi had fused the 10,000-year-old Sword Mountain Soul and the Nine Heavens Meteorite Sword embryo together. Due to the blackness, no one knew what he was refining.

Even the flames that Gu Xi used to refine were extremely ordinary. Perhaps because of this, the fire was unable to completely fuse these things.

The sun had set and the moon rose. The fire was still burning fiercely, but there was no change in the furnace.

Everyone's originally expectant mood gradually became numb.

"Let's wait a little longer. Perhaps something will happen soon."

"Perhaps the time needed to refine an extraordinary item is a little longer. After all, it caused such a huge commotion in the Sword Mountain."

They could not trust Gu Xi but they trusted Sword Mountain absolutely, as it was too special. Countless divine weapons were buried there, and it had never made any mistakes since ancient times.

Those who could gain its recognition were all extraordinary. It could be seen from the strange phenomenon caused by Ou Yechen and Wang Dazhu when they were refining their weapons.

With this thought in mind, everyone persisted even after such a long time had passed.

However, there was a limit to one's patience.

There was a sliver of light from the sky, exposing Gu Xi's smelting furnace. However, it still looked the same as before. Even when the iron block was thrown in, it was still the same as before.

The crowd suddenly became more doubtful.

"What's going on? What is this kid doing? Could it be that he failed?"

"That's impossible. Previously, Sword Mountain caused such a huge commotion. Logically speaking, after such a long time, he should have succeeded. Even if he didn't, it shouldn't be like this."

"Perhaps the time isn't ripe yet. Why don't we wait a little longer?"

If it was not for the shock that Sword Mountain had given them, they would have lost their patience long ago. Even so, their attitudes changed again as time passed.

On the first day, the pile of metal did not give any reaction. Some people had already left the arena, not wanting to waste any more time.

On the second day, there were still no changes. More people left, leaving only a small number of people.

On the third day, there were few people in the arena.

Unexpectedly, Bai Haoyu, Ou Yechen, Wang Dazhu, and the others were still there.

Bai Haoyu looked at the two people beside him and asked, "Why are you still here?"

"As participants, the competition hasn't ended yet. Naturally, we have to be here." Ou Yechen's answer was dignified. As for what he was thinking, only he knew.

Wang Dazhu told the truth, "I want to see what this little brother can refine."

The weapon refining competition, which could have ended in a few days, was forcefully extended to four to five days by Gu Xi alone. The waiting made everyone lose their patience and overturned all the previous guesses.

"I think this kid doesn't know how to refine weapons. All of it was just a bluff."

"The reason why Sword Mountain acted strangely might be because something happened inside. It was just that this kid had good timing, so we misunderstood him."

"He didn't even start refining anything, so how could he resonate with Sword Mountain? Now that we think about it, we all got it wrong."

Chapter 87

Chapter 87: The Change in the Capital, the Departure of Green Lotus Princess Translation

Everyone's faces were filled with impatience. They had previously held Gu Xi in high esteem, but now that they saw him fall through the clouds, they all scoffed. It had to be said that people were truly too fickle.

They guessed that the strange movements of the Sword Mountain might have been influenced by those divine weapons. In short, it was not something that Gu Xi could have caused.

"It makes sense. How can a person achieve success in both pill and weapon refinement? He doesn't have the energy either. The strange movements of the Sword Mountain had nothing to do with Gu Xi. Look, he hasn't been able to refine a weapon even after a few days."

"This pile of scrap metal is useless."

"The result of Green Lotus Princess's competition has been decided. Please announce it now. There's no need to extend the time for this kid."

To put it bluntly, they could not wait for Gu Xi any longer. After all, there was still a competition to come.

Moreover, everyone already had almost no hope for this pile of scrap metal.

Green Lotus Princess looked at Gu Xi from the carrige. He looked like was still in the midst of forging his weapon. A hint of confusion appeared in her beautiful eyes. Could it be that she had made a mistake earlier? There was nothing special about this kid at all.

Just as she was about to speak, the jade pendant on her body suddenly lit up. This was a method used by the imperial family to send messages.

"Alright, I understand. I'll return immediately."

Just as the others were requesting Green Lotus Princes sto announce the results of the competition, the Luan birds cried out in unison. They spread their wings and were about to fly. The carriage once again floated in midair.

"I'm sorry, everyone. There's an urgent matter in the Capital. Wait for me to return. I will announce the results of the competition then."

After saying this, the Luan birds soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye. At the same time, a few Dragon Transformation stage experts also left with Green Lotus Princess.

The super large sects and Sect Masters had all received some news and left together with Green Lotus Princess, causing everyone to be at a loss.

Just what had happened that made Green Lotus Princess leave in such a hurry without even announcing the results of the competition?

Several great experts had left, and the remaining people in the arena started to become absent-minded. No one cared about Gu Xi anymore.

One had to know that the Capital's Dao Conference could be considered a top priority. The current situation could not help but cause people's imaginations to run wild.

"I don't know what has happened, but even Green Lotus Princess, who is hosting the competition, has been alarmed. I heard that some time ago, people from the Demon Region appeared in the Capital, and even Mei Qianmeng came. Could it be because of them?"

"The people of the Demon Region have lived in the Desolate North for a long time and haven't appeared in the world for many years. Now that they suddenly appeared in the Capital, it's indeed quite abnormal."

"They didn't come for the Flawless-quality medicinal pill of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce."

"You're too naive. The medicinal pill may only be an excuse, but it's not their fundamental goal. Who knows what they want to do."

The hearts of the people in the arena fluttered as they discussed animatedly. The weapon refining competition had long been left behind. Moreover. The outcome of the competition was already decided. Whether Gu Xi could refine a weapon or not was no longer important.

Even the people of Supreme Purity Sect felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Gu Xi's lonely figure, the unchanging smelting furnace, and the iron block.

Bai Haoyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this situation. "It seems that we overestimated this kid. We really thought that he had some ability. He wasted so much effort here."

Ou Yechen and Wang Dazhu did not reply. One of them was staring at the unchanging iron in the smelting furnace, while the other was daydreaming. No one knew what he was thinking.

Bai Haoyu rubbed his nose and felt a little bored. "If you guys aren't leaving, I'm leaving. I'll just wait for Green Lotus Princess to come back and announce the results."

Ou Yechen retracted his complicated gaze. He had an indescribable emotion in his heart. "Why didn't the Sword Mountain do anything unusual before? Why did it happen just as he was preparing to forge his weapon?"

This was something he could not have thought of.

"What else could it be? It must be a coincidence. If he really had the ability, he would have refined his weapon long ago. Why wait until now?"

"But there aren't so many coincidences in this world."

"Look, he hasn't even completed the most basic steps. It's impossible to forge a weapon like this. Don't tell me you really want to stay here forever."

Bai Haoyu had just finished speaking, but he did not expect the slap to come so quickly.

The flame of Gu Xi's smelting furnace suddenly went out, and the iron inside had already disappeared.

Those who noticed the change thought that it was caused by Gu Xi. They could not help but click their tongues and say, "He even extinguished the furnace flame halfway through the refinement. That shows just how inexperienced he is, right?"

However, someone noticed the difference. He shook his head and said, "That's not right. It seems that he succeeded in refining a weapon."

However, it was strange. Everything was too calm and too sudden. Everyone was thinking thatGu Xi did not have the ability at all.

It was probably because everyone had been guessing why Green Lotus Princess had left in a hurry. No one had noticed Gu Xi, so they did not even know when he had completed his forging.

"What is this thing?"

Looking at the thing in the smelting furnace, many people revealed puzzled expressions.

It was a few feet long and shaped like a sword. However, its entire body was pitch black. It did not even seem to have a blade. If it was taken out to cut cabbages, it might not even be able to cut it.

"You're telling me that this thing is a sword?"

"Other people make swords, and they make amazing weapons, but what the hell is he making? The kitchen knife on the chopping board is probably sharper than this thing. Is he asking for humiliation?"

"If I stick my head out and take a hit from this weapon, it won't even leave a mark."

The crowd was speechless. They had seen weapons that were ridiculous, but they have never seen something like this before.

Chapter 88 - The Uprising of Sword Mountain, the Greatest Crisis

Chapter 88: The Uprising of Sword Mountain, the Greatest Crisis Translation

Chapter 88: The Uprising of Sword Mountain, the Greatest Crisis Translation

"A pile of scrap metal. Just because he's good at refining pills doesn't mean that he's good at refining weapons. Is he lo deliberately looking for trouble?"

"Sigh, is that it? I can already guess what he's trying to refine."

"I already said it's a waste of time, yet he still insisted on participating in the competition. This is great, this is simply embarrassing. I think everyone should disperse. There's nothing to see from now on."

Everyone mocked and ridiculed him, but Gu Xi stared at the sword in his hand in a daze, as if he could not hear them.

Ou Yechen and Wang Dazhu looked at each other. It seemed that they were really wrong and were just about to leave.

However, the sky suddenly darkened, and a strong wind suddenly rose. Everyone raised their heads to look at the sky, and a powerful pressure pressed down on them. It was as if the sky itself could not withstand it, and it felt like it was about to collapse at any moment.

Even people with weak spiritual senses could feel the inexplicable aura surging in the air, especially those who wielded swords-type Magic Weapons.

They could feel the swords in their hands starting to go berserk, and they were losing control.

"What a sharp Sword Intent!"

Some people who were proficient in sword Dao could not help but sigh. At the same time, many people were suppressing their Spirit Swords to prevent them from being out of control.

The wind and clouds gathered, all hovering above Gu Xi's head. To be more precise, it was the sword in his hand.

Everyone was so shocked that their mouths were wide open. "Could it be that Gu Xi is the one that's causing these strange phenomena?"

As soon as they finished speaking, Sword Mountain rumbled, and the entire mountain trembled. The commotion was even greater than before, making them feel as if the end of the world was coming.

The cold wind blew over like a steel blade scraping against their bones. It was only later that everyone realized that the wind contained tens of thousands of Sword Intents, and their expressions suddenly became unsightly.

Realizing that there was something wrong here, they hurriedly fled, but it was already too late.

The countless wind blades in the surroundings had already formed a natural sword formation due to the support of Sword Qi. The slightest carelessness would cause them to be cut into a thousand pieces.

"Be careful!"

A disciple activated his spiritual protective barrier and prepared to charge over. Fortunately, he was stopped in time. However, a strand of his hair was blown up by the strong wind. The moment the hair touched the sword formation slightly, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, the disciple's back broke out in cold sweat. Only then did he realize that he had actually walked through the gates of Hell. He hurriedly thanked the person who stopped him.

"This sword formation is not something that you and I can withstand. Do not act rashly, or else you will bear the consequences."

Fortunately, there was a powerful elder here. Otherwise, everyone would have been flustered long ago. They were like headless flies that flew around randomly. However, after hearing the rest of the words, everyone's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

They tried to send a signal to inform the outside world that a great change had occurred here. However, when the communication talisman touched the edge of the sword formation, it was instantly reduced to dust. Not even a shred of it was left.

Even the elder who sent the communication talisman was entangled by the Sword Qi and suffered a backlash. His face immediately turned pale. "This won't do. This place is already isolated by the sword formation. I can't send out a distress signal at all."

"What, what's going on?" The person who said this sounded like he was crying. He looked around in fear, afraid that he would be dragged into it and end up with no bones left.

"We'll have to ask Gu Xi about this."

Everyone's gaze fell on Gu Xi. His surroundings were not affected. There was not even a trace of Sword Qi. It was as if the Sword Qi was afraid to disturb him. It was a stark comparison with the rest, who were treading on thin ice.

…

Everyone's expression suddenly became complicated.

If they still did not know who caused this, then they would really be extremely stupid.

Some people even guessed that Gu Xi had caused the sword formation to appear and trapped them all in order to take revenge for their derogatory words.

"Big Brother Gu, we understand our mistake. Please let us go."

"Yes, Big Brother, we were ignorant. Please don't be angry with us."

Everyone prayed, but Gu Xi seemed to be immersed in his own world.

Bai Haoyu had left early, so he was not trapped. However, Ou Yechen and Wang Dazhu were here. "What do you think?"

Wang Dazhu was a rough person, but he had a keen intuition like a wild beast when it came to refining weapons. His gaze landed on the sword in Gu Xi's hand, and his tone was unprecedentedly solemn and deep. "This matter might not be over yet."

As If in response to what he had said, just as everyone was frowning and thinking about how to leave, someone suddenly exclaimed, "You, look, what is that?"

Even their voices began to tremble from the fear.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

Not far away, a dense mass of black waves swept over like a black tide.

Everyone was prepared and summoned their weapons one after another. However, when the black wave approached, only then did they see clearly that there were hundreds, tens of thousands of swords!

These swords were menacing, and they seemed to be coming right at the group of people! They were even more ferocious than the static sword formation just now! They could be said to be on the level of nightmares.

After all, the sword formation would not take the initiative to attack people. However, who could say for sure about these swords? Moreover, they were ownerless objects, and no one could control them at all.

"It's over!"

This was the common thought in everyone's mind. There were no ordinary things on Sword Mountain, and there were so many of them that they could turn everyone present into hedgehogs.

Some people regretted starting to speak ill of Gu Xi. At this moment, they were beating their chests and stomping their feet. They sat on the ground, crying and begging for forgiveness. They no longer cared about their image.

In the face of death, everything else was fleeting. As long as they could live, that was the most important thing.

Chapter 89 - Wave After Wave

Chapter 89: Wave After Wave

At the same time, the other people in the Capital had also noticed the strange movements.

Although Bai Haoyu had left, he had not yet left the outskirts, so he had also noticed the strange movements.

The members of the Bai Clan by his side opened their mouths wide. "Young, Young Master, look over there. is that a swarm of insects?"

They were quite far away, so they could only see countless black dots flying across the sky. They were like black clouds that disappeared in the blink of an eye.

However, they could see that these dots were coming out of Sword Mountain.

"Since when did so many insects appear in Sword Mountain?"

Hearing this, Bai Haoyu could not help but give him a slap. "Those aren't insects at all."

Bai Haoyu's brows were tightly knitted. His gaze fell on the spot where the black clouds had disappeared. As a refiner, his intuition told him that something very special was happening.

The powerful Sword Intent emitted from those black clouds could be felt even from such a distance!

He narrowed his eyes and his expression gradually became serious. "That direction — isn't that the location of the weapon refining competition?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Haoyu's expression changed slightly. He suddenly turned around and returned the way he came, causing the members of the Bai Clan to be very puzzled.

"Young Master, what's going on? Didn't you say that you would return to the Bai Clan and come back when there's news from Green Lotus Princess?"

"A major change has occurred in the weapon refining field. I have to go back and take a look."

He had a faint premonition that this change might have something to do with Gu Xi.

…

At this moment, on the other side of the Capital.

The towering city walls stretched endlessly through the entire Capital. If one were to stand at the highest point and look down on the city walls, they would be like a sleeping ancient dragon entrenched in this piece of land.

The west side mountains were lush and green. The north side was covered in snow all year round, and the white peaks seemed to be able to take in the beauty of the four seasons.

Within the city walls stood the majestic imperial city. Each piece of green tile and brick was filled with a silent history. Standing in the wind and rain for thousands of years, it had always been like the most powerful guardian, guarding everything in the Capital.

A beautiful figure suddenly appeared on the city walls. Surprisingly, it was Green Lotus Princess, who had left the arena earlier. There was clearly no one by her side, but she suddenly spoke to the air. "What happened for you to send me back so urgently?"

The spiritual energy fluctuations in the air distorted for a moment, as if there was really a person standing beside her.

"Something has happened to the east side. The people we sent over have sent news that there are some problems regarding Secret Realms. It is extremely unstable and appears more and more frequently. Although it is a mirage, it should only be a few days before it appears."

Green Lotus Princess's expression changed slightly. "How is that possible?! The Primal Chaos Secret Realm only appears every hundred years. It has only been a few decades since the last time it appeared. How can it appear so soon now…"

"I trust the information from our people. Even if they tried their best to cover it up, they would not be able to hide it. I believe that those super sects and clans have also received the news and will take action soon."

Green Lotus Princess could not help but sigh. "Then what do you want me to do?"

"I'm afraid that you'll have to personally make a trip this time to bring that thing back."

Seeing that her expression was calm, that voice continued to speak. However, this time, it sounded a little sterner and commanding.

"That thing is extremely important to the imperial family. It's even related to the rise and fall of the imperial family. So no matter what, no matter the price you have to pay, you must bring it back."

Who would be able to order Green Lotus Princess around when she had such a prestigious status?

At this moment, there was a hint of guilt and helplessness in the voice. "I'm sorry. As a Princess, this is a responsibility that you must bear and can not shirk."

After a long while, Green Lotus Princess finally spoke, "Alright, I understand."

However, her beautiful eyes focused as if she had sensed something. Her gaze fell on the southernmost part of the city wall. That was the outskirts of the capital, where Sword Mountain was located.

She and the voice spoke almost at the same time, "Not good, there's something strange over at the Sword Mountain!"

It could be said that one wave had yet to be pacified and another wave had risen.

Many other people also keenly sensed the strange phenomenon in the Sword Mountain and rushed toward the direction of the weapon Refining arena.

…

When the people in the arena saw that Gu Xi did not move at all, they could not help but sink into complete despair. Gu Xi did not even glance at them. They were afraid that this place would be their burial ground today.

Looking at the countless divine weapons close at hand, they gave up on struggling. Even if the others knew about the strange movements here, it would be too late by the time the rescue arrived. Not even their ashes would remain.

However, the expected pain did not come.

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening sound, a few people mustered up their courage and opened their eyes. Not far away, a huge sword was inserted into the ground. This was like a signal, and all the flying swords in the sky fell to the ground.

The weapons were arranged in an extremely orderly manner, as if they were waiting for the king to inspect them.

The people who had just escaped a calamity had an inexplicable urge to laugh when they saw the scene in front of them.

Unexpectedly, these flying swords were quite far away from Gu Xi. There was a path in the middle that had been deliberately left empty.

After the crisis was resolved, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, they realized that after passing through these flying swords, the sword formation that had been cleverly formed around them had been completely destroyed, giving them a chance to escape.

Someone could not help but swallow his saliva. "Should we go?"

It was not easy for them to have a chance to escape, but at this moment, they were in a state of hesitation. They could see that it was not Gu Xi who had deliberately targeted them, but the weapon that he had forged had caused the phenomenon.

These people had a faint premonition that the object that would be born later would be beyond their imagination.

After all, there were so many flying swords in Sword Mountain.

"Looking at these swords, they seem to be from the periphery or the central region of Sword Mountain."

Chapter 90 - All the Divine Swords Worshipped Him at the Same Time

Chapter 90: All the Divine Swords Worshipped Him at the Same Time

Everyone could tell the grade of these swords from the Sword Intent and spiritual energy on them.

There were so many swords hidden on the Sword Mountain that there were no records of them at all. In addition, the entire mountain was surrounded by Sword Intent. The deeper one went into the mountain, the sharper the Sword Intent was. Ordinary people could not get close to it and could only observe it from the outside.

Therefore, no one knew how many divine weapons there were. Everyone had a vague idea, and there were never any precise records in the books.

In order to stop the war, the Emperor intervened. Countless outstanding people in the world negotiated with the Emperor because of his power. In the end, they reached an agreement and put down the divine weapons. From then on, the world would be at peace.

However, they did not disclose exactly how many divine weapons they had, or where they came from. However, everyone vaguely knew that Sword Mountain was divided into three parts: the Outer, Middle, and Inner Sections.

"Even so, it's still very impressive! It's not something that ordinary people can achieve. You have to know that Wang Dazhu's abnormal phenomenon just triggered the response from the Outer Section of Sword Mountain."

"There are so many swords here. Besides the divine weapons that have fallen into a deep sleep, most of them are gathered here."

Perhaps because the crisis was over, everyone did not choose to leave immediately. They had a voice in their hearts that was telling them that if they left now, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

Just as everyone was carefully discussing.

"What's going on? I feel that my sword seems to be out of control."

"Mine seems to be the same!"

More than one of the people present noticed the abnormality of their swords. It was as if something was attracting their attention. Even though the swords were restricted by their Masters, they still wanted to break out of the encirclement.

Just as the people were trying their best to suppress the sudden disturbance of the Spirit Swords, a divine light suddenly rushed over from the Sword Mountain, bringing with it an incomparably sharp Sword Qi. It was as if the entire sky had been split into countless pieces because of this. Wherever it passed, countless ancient trees fell to the ground.

The scene looked very spectacular. Looking at the neat cross-section of the trees, they were extremely smooth, but it was only caused by the Sword Qi. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts and immediately prepared to doge. They had to control their Spirit Sword, and they tried to dodge the sudden divine light.

Boom!

With a loud sound, the divine light suddenly fell to the ground. Immediately, dust flew into the air. A huge energy wave fluctuation sent some people flying. As a result, some people who couldn't dodge in time suddenly spat out large mouthfuls of blood.

When the dust dispersed, they finally saw the culprit who had caused a ruckus just now. Surprisingly, it was an ancient-styled sword!

The body of the sword was extremely simple, and there were no unnecessary decorations. However, the aura it emitted was not to be underestimated.

With the sword as the center, the surrounding land had sunk in, revealing an unfathomable ravine. It was like a sleeping God that had been awakened, rising up from the earth again.

Even people who did not know anything about swords could see that this was a rare and powerful sword. However, at this moment, it was surrounding Gu Xi like a loyal guardian.

"Could it be that this sword was influenced by Gu Xi and flew over from Sword Mountain?"

Although everyone did not quite believe it, there was no better explanation for the current situation.

"But didn't he fail to refine a weapon? Even if he succeeded, he probably wouldn't be able to refine anything good. How could it cause such an effect?"

Everyone was confused by this sudden change, but they did not know that there was an even bigger surprise up ahead.

The top of Sword Mountain shook continuously, and divine light burst out again, heading in this direction. The stars in the sky flickered, as if it was guiding the divine light in a certain direction.

Countless stars slowly fell down, and the nebula spread out, filled with a mysterious feeling. It was as if they were wandering the depths of the universe. The pressure emitted by this sword… it was even more powerful than before.

Everyone could not help but gasp. They looked at the stars in the sky, dragging their tails as they disappeared in the middle of the horizon. A Divine Sword suddenly appeared in their field of vision.

Someone said in disbelief, "The Seven Stars Ancient Divine Sword!"

"It's rumored that the Seven Stars Ancient Sage was also subdued by the appearance of the Emperor back then. He was willing to cooperate and to put down the Seven Stars Ancient Divine Sword and let it rest here. I didn't expect it to be true!"

Some people recognized the origin of this sword.

The closer they were to the Core Section of Sword Mountain, the more powerful the divine weapons buried there were. They could not be compared to the weapons of the current era. Moreover, most of the commotion caused by their forging was due to the resonance of the divine weapons from the Outer and the Middle Sections of Sword Mountain.

This was because the divine weapons buried in the depths were extremely powerful and spiritual. After all, their Masters were half-emperors in strength, so the power of the seal was even greater. They would not be awakened easily.

The Seven Stars Ancient Divine Sword came from the depths of the Sword Mountain, and now it was awakened.

"Maybe it's because of the strange movements of the Sword Mountain just now."

"But didn't you notice that the divine swords fell on Gu Xi's side one after another accurately?"

One or two times might be coincidences, but what if there were too many times?

The crowd was still in shock from the Seven Stars Ancient Divine Sword. They cried out again, "The Sword Mountain lit up again."

The others quickly looked over. As expected, divine light burst out, and clouds filled the sky. It was like a tide of blue water or a crane dancing in the air. All sorts of strange phenomena made people gasp in amazement.

This time, what appeared in front of them was a purple Divine Sword. It seemed to gather the spiritual Qi of the mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon.

When they arrived, the sky was covered with multicolored light, and they could vaguely see a huge lotus flower slowly blooming. At the same time, the sound of scriptures and chanting appeared in the air. Everyone that heard it felt intoxicated.
