Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

The Nine-Tailed Crimson King, Tu Shan Yue, is a highly decorated warrior with a long history of battles. She is clearly not someone that these sheltered celestial soldiers and generals can handle. Even if it comes down to physical strength alone, no one can match her.

This was quite a show of force.

"I've long heard rumors of a counterattack against the Immortal Realm from the Demon Realm, and this warmonger is probably one of them."

As for the other party's identity as a female demon, it's not surprising. In the cultivation world, strength reigns supreme, and gender is not a decisive factor.

"Brother Gu, are you confident that you can defeat her with your physical strength?"

"You want me to step in and put her in her place?"

“Not bad.” Little White Dragon Ao Miaoge said with some displeasure, “Tu Shanyue has a domineering personality. If she really defeats this group of Heavenly Army, she may take away the command in the subsequent battlefield. I am worried that the water tribe will suffer too much damage.”

"What about Lei Zun?"

"Sigh... never mind."

The Heavenly Palace is full of oddballs, and the Great Immortal Venerable is no exception. This level is actually equivalent to a fifth-rank Dao Lord, but he is not up to standard in any aspect. Only his destructive power is acceptable, and his temperament is a mess.

However, Gu Qing had many things to consider.

Showing off wasn't part of his plan; his main purpose was to investigate the whereabouts of the demons behind the scenes.

If the plan is feasible, we'll give them a hand.

The plan wasn't working, so he intervened to stop it, lest he alert the enemy. Destroying the world was neither Gu Qing's wish nor his ability, but he was quite confident that he could destroy just one realm.

Without having to repeat the chaos, destroying one of the six realms should be enough for them to return to the star belt outside the six realms, which is a compromise.

The human realm is small and lacks powerful beings, so it should theoretically be the easiest realm to plot against.

However, Gu Qing was unwilling to harm ordinary people. He himself came from among ordinary people. He initially thought that the Master of Huilong Temple was an ordinary person and even gave up on revenge. If he hadn't met his childhood friend Zhang Yuan in Baiyue Mountain, he would never have destroyed Huilong Temple.

Gu Qing always held great compassion for ordinary people.

Secondly, the celestial realm and the mortal realm are almost integrated, making it inconvenient to operate.

Therefore, the Blood Sea Realm, the Ghost Realm, and the Demon Realm are his primary targets. This trip also aims to explore these places. As for the God Realm... he will not consider it for the time being.

Just as the two were whispering to each other, another Heavenly General was knocked away by Tu Shan Yue, which was quite impressive.

For some reason, the woman suddenly looked at the two of them.

Her features are exquisite, with cherry lips and a delicate nose. Her phoenix eyes perfectly match the characteristics of a vixen, but she lacks the alluring charm of a nine-tailed fox. Instead, she is heroic and domineering.

Upon closer inspection, her appearance was absolutely stunning, surpassing even the four beauties of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting that Gu Qing had seen in the Heavenly Palace.

It just lacks a bit of feminine softness.
The crimson spear, radiating murderous intent, was aimed directly at Gu Qing.

"Hey, you guy."

"Who do you think you are, to be worthy of wearing red with me?!"

"If you have the guts, come down and fight me."

Ok?
Gu Qing raised an eyebrow, looked at the phoenix feather robe she was wearing, and quite liked it. Tu Shanyue's clothes were more like a general's robe, deep red like blood staining her jade body.

His shoulders, wrists, feet, and sides were covered with gorgeous, openwork gold armor, and his reason for shouting was utterly arrogant.

"Pfft~"

Ao Miaoge couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Look, someone has no choice but to take action now."

"Sigh, I need to think of another pseudonym."

Fortunately, he had the foresight to create a celestial clone to stand in for him in the Heavenly Palace. What does what happened in the North Sea have to do with him, Gu Qing?
With a light leap, he landed in the arena.

Just as his physical strength surged after he constructed the inner five elements cycle, Tu Shan Yue also possessed unique abilities, so sharpening his blade would be sufficient.

"My name is Feng Xuan. Does the Crimson King have any guidance for me?"

Xuan means black, and also refers to blue.

It is highly metaphorical.

Since acquiring the Phoenix bloodline, Gu Qing has changed, and this has become the main source of power for his new identity. In the Cangwu Realm, he uses Mo Xuan as a guise, but he acts like a demon.

In the world of mountains and seas, since Feng Xuan became an alias, this woman began to gain fame.

"Named after the phoenix? Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? Take out your weapons. I do not bully those who have no weapons in their hands."

"as you wish."

Gu Qing raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and the Demon-Slaying Sword appeared in his right hand. It was four feet and two inches long, which was actually a bit too long for close combat. He had only learned swordsmanship at the ninth rank level, and he knew nothing about the Divine Sword Manual.

The only way to be meticulous is to use a powerful brick; that's the four-word mantra.

"please."

Tu Shanyue frowned as she looked at the Demon-Slaying Sword in Gu Qing's hand. She had a bad feeling about this thing, as if it were the nemesis of all demons in the world. She felt that her power was weakened even before she had a chance to fight it.

"Come and fight!"

Boom————

In their sparring match, using only physical strength, the enchanted ground cracked under his feet, and he suddenly collided with the demon-slaying sword that Gu Qing had raised.

The Blood Fiend Heavenly Fox Spear is also a top-grade immortal weapon.

The spear blade pressed down, and with a flick of the wrist, it attempted to knock the longsword away, but Gu Qing forcefully blocked it.

Despite the bloodthirsty aura accumulated over the years on the battlefield, Gu Qing's will remained unshaken.

With a backhand punch, the water was compressed into a jet of water under the force of the fist, instantly knocking Tu Shanyue away.

She was careless; she really hadn't expected Gu Qing's physical body to be so formidable.

"good very good."

With a whoosh, the two crimson streaks of light collided, accompanied by continuous thunderous roars. The space was constantly being shattered, and whenever it broke apart, it could instantly swallow tens of thousands of tons of seawater.

The seabed cracked, the corals collapsed, and the entire North Sea Dragon Palace trembled under the close combat between the two.

After a thousand or eight hundred moves, the two sides faced off again.

Gu Qing's shoulders were numb as he moved them, while Tu Shan Yue's tiger's mouth was bleeding profusely, and there were three sword wounds on her body.

In terms of physical strength alone, he won.

He immediately embraced his sword and laughed.

"Concession."

"Hmph, you win. Wear whatever you want."

Tu Shan Yue was somewhat displeased, but she did not deny her defeat. In fact, Gu Qing was able to win largely because of the Demon-Slaying Sword. Even without activating the magic weapon's supernatural power, she still felt uncomfortable.

They were suppressed by that demonic sword.

That's all for today.

"Your name is Feng Xuan, right? I'll remember you."

"Thank you for your love."

At this moment, Ao Miaoge also landed and looked at Gu Qing in surprise. She had guessed that she could win, but she did not expect it to be so easy. She immediately transmitted her voice.

"Brother Gu, I know you are very powerful, but I did not expect that your mastery of the Dao of Essence is so profound. Even the True Dragon Body of the same realm is probably not as good as you."

"That's because you rely solely on your talent. If you could properly develop your physical potential, you could achieve much more than that."

Ao Miaoge scratched her head awkwardly, which made her look somewhat naive.

Just as they were about to leave.

The tremors in the Dragon Palace did not stop. The North Sea Dragon King and the Four Thunder Gods appeared at the same time, their expressions solemn.

"Heavenly Army, heed my command! Don your armor, halt your weapons, and prepare for battle!" (End of Chapter)
