Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

If the Heavenly Demon is formless and shapeless, possessing the power to invade the hearts and minds of living beings, distorting their will, causing them to become demons, and plunging them into the hell of Jambudvipa.

For the rest of his life, he will be controlled by the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon!

Then the Holy Demon also possesses the characteristics of being formless and shapeless. Its ability to invade the hearts of living beings remains unchanged, and it also has the effect of distorting their will.

It was not the evil thoughts of demons, but the moral thoughts of sages and saints.

Possessed by the Holy Demon, it can distort sentient beings into moral exemplars, which is somewhat similar to the legendary Buddhist salvation. Its distortion originates primarily from the Heavenly Demon itself.

The other part is the innate five virtues of sainthood, which are of extremely high nature.

The transformative power of the Pure Nirvana Dao Heart allowed the Holy Virtue to penetrate deep into their very bones, giving them a new lease on life and transforming them into [Holy Heavenly Demons]. Gu Qing even suspected that this was the first time such a strange Heavenly Demon had appeared in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

It was also a coincidence and a stroke of luck that led to this; otherwise, Gu Qing would not have been able to control this peculiar power.

"let me see."

Flipping through the treasures in the Void Ring, Gu Qing selected suitable equipment.

"A sixth-grade treasure... This piece of flowing wood is quite nice; it can be used as a flagpole."

"As for the flag... Tricolor Silkworm Silk, Ice and Fire Liquid, Void Amethyst... Wish Power Crystal seems like a good choice."

As Gu Qing was flipping through the pages, he suddenly discovered the wish power crystal extracted from the Qing Palace statue in the human realm. He had used this thing when he was cultivating the power of Yin and Yang.

We used one-third of it at the time, and there were still two-thirds left.

The power of will seems somewhat similar to the power of the Holy Demon.

After taking it out as a material for refining weapons.

Gu Qing unleashed the True Flame of Zhurong from both palms, beginning the second round of weapon forging.

He used the power of True Flame to initially process the equipment, removing impurities he didn't need. These impurities actually contained the equipment's power, but he didn't need this part of the characteristic, as it would conflict with the planned subsequent process.

Therefore, this part was temporarily separated.

Tricolor silkworm silk is a treasure of the Mountain and Sea Realm. It is a sixth-grade treasure that Gu Qing obtained from the Immortal Medicine Garden. It is produced by the immortal silkworm and is quite practical.

Starting with the weaving techniques of plants and wood, and using the crystallization of willpower as the core, the void amethyst is melted into liquid and mixed with ice and fire liquid to coat the silk with a layer of spiritual liquid.

The Flowing Light Wood also joined in. Gu Qing only used its core, merging the pole and the flag to maintain the continuous output of True Flame. His Primordial Spirit Embryo leaped out from his chest, casting spells to continuously promote the fusion of the equipment.

The principles of law and the Dao are like heavenly music, flowing into the gradually forming vessel. Gu Qing did not infuse Dao patterns, but instead drew out the character "Saint" from the Niwan Palace and imprinted it on the flag.

This was his first time trying to refine a weapon using the Five Virtues of Nature, and he didn't know what the result would be.

Two years later.

As the Holy Heaven Demon Banner took shape, countless cleansed Holy Heaven Demons emerged from between Gu Qing's eyebrows and surged into the banner.

Inside is a space filled with holiness and willpower, which is the basis for their survival. Because the fusion is so perfect, it even inherited the immortality of the Heavenly Demon.

Even if they die in battle, they will be reborn within the Holy Banner's inner space by consuming the stored power of their will.

"A sacred artifact, an instrument of virtuous teachings..."

This is a magical artifact with self-growth characteristics. The more believers it educates, the stronger the power of the banner's virtue and will become, and it will naturally advance.

The Holy Demon within can also absorb the power of Holy Virtue and grow stronger.

The Three Thousand Holy Heavenly Demons are equivalent to the Three Thousand Immortal Lords and the Seventh-Rank Upper-Level True Persons. The only Holy Heavenly Demon King is comparable to a Sixth-Rank Great Cultivator and is equivalent to the Mountain and Sea Immortal Venerable. This rank fluctuates quite a bit.

Since its core is not a Dao pattern, calling it a magic weapon is not accurate. Rather, it is a new type of artifact crafted from the character "Saint," which Gu Qing calls a Sacred Artifact, with strength comparable to a mid-grade magic weapon.

"Perfect."

This treasure is a powerful weapon for attacking multiple targets, far surpassing the Corpse Bone Fan he forged in his early years.

Due to its unique nature, after being refined and mastered, it resides in the Niwan Palace to receive nourishment from divine consciousness power, rather than residing in the Qi Sea.

Three years have passed since the two treasures were completed.

Gu Qing had just emerged from seclusion when Ao Miaoge received the news and rushed over.

"You've finally come out. Did you find anything?"

"Not bad. Has the situation changed?"

"The battle hasn't started yet, but it's coming soon. The Nine-Headed Demon Dragon has gathered a group of creatures from the Badlands, known as the Demon Dragon Army, and is about to enter the North Sea area."

Gu Qing nodded, indicating that she understood.

"What about the Heavenly Palace? Have new reinforcements arrived?"

"not coming."

Ao Miaoge sighed helplessly.

"Although Lei Zun sent someone to report back to Di Zun and explained the situation, Di Zun seems to have gone to Qinglian Daozhou and is not in the Heavenly Palace. It was another Great Immortal Zun, Feng Zun, who instructed us to negotiate with the demon race."

"Is that so...? You're in such a hurry, is something wrong?"

"That's right, you'll see when you come with me."

Gu Qing followed Ao Miaoge towards the outside of the North Sea Dragon Palace, which should be the temporary military camp of the Heavenly Army. The little white dragon kept talking all the way.

"As you know, the pure demonic energy aura captured during the ambush means that the person who made the move was no ordinary person among the demons, and the Heavenly Army has suffered more than half its losses."

"Their attitude was rather poor, and the one from the demon race wasn't exactly friendly either..."

Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.

Before they could even see the actual situation, they heard a series of clear, arrogant laughs.

"Are your Heavenly Palace soldiers all starving?"

"Weak and powerless, I can kick you to death with one kick. Get up now!"

"Come again!!"

The two stood under the dragon pillar at the entrance. In the center of the temporary camp, on the training ground surrounded by a circle, a man and a woman were fighting with pure physical strength.

The man was a celestial general in the Heavenly Army, with the cultivation level of a third-class immortal lord. He was unilaterally beaten by the woman, but he was very dissatisfied.

Gu Qing was very interested.

"That's an envoy sent from the demon realm?"

"That's right. The Emperor has disappeared without a trace, and the Thunder Lord dares not go to the Demon Realm alone, so he sent an envoy over there, who has been disturbing the Dragon Palace for quite some time now."

"In a contest of pure physical strength, you are no match for her?"

Ao Miaoge shook her head.

"Although I have the body of a true dragon, that woman is also a nine-tailed celestial fox. Moreover, according to the division of the Mountain and Sea Realm, she has already reached the peak of the Immortal Venerable realm, and is only one step away from breaking through to the Great Immortal Venerable realm."

"A nine-tailed celestial fox...a descendant of the Demon Emperor?"

"The demon princess [Nine-Tailed Crimson King Tu Shan Yue] loves weapons more than fine clothes, and wields a crimson spear with unparalleled skill."

"Is this so..."

Gu Qing's eyes gleamed. The nine-tailed fox was a divine beast and an auspicious creature, favored by heaven and earth, but it was not known for its physical body, let alone its ability to rival that of a true dragon.

The suppression of realm is one reason, but Tu Shan Yue's bloodline may have other characteristics as well.

The spear is the king of weapons, earning this title primarily because of its dominant position on the battlefield, surpassing that of the knife and sword.

The title of Nine-Tailed Red King was not a legacy of bloodline, but rather earned through her own hard work and skill.

The demon realm is rife with war; chaos frequently erupts between the treacherous lands and demon tribes, and the demons must also contend with the occasional escape of the Blood Sea Realm's demons. (End of Chapter)
