Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Since the creation of the [Heavenly Dao Offering Technique], ordinary resources have lost their meaning to him. However, he still has some fifth-grade treasures that he obtained from the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Only one of the most valuable items remains.

The 【Void Heaven Azure Dragon Fruit】contains the laws of thunder and the energy of thunder punishment. It was born from the claws of the Azure Dragon Divine Beast and is also known as the Thunder Dragon Fruit.

This is also why he chose to control the Thunder Law. It's not just because he devoured the Heavenly Tribulation, which led to his full comprehension of the law. With this treasure in hand, it would be much easier for his own Thunder Source to be born.

As for the fundamental principle—[Fire]

The existence of the Three Thousand Great Dao Flames is a special type of source of law, and controlling it is extremely difficult.

For a hundred years, no progress has been made; this is the norm for people at this level.

Gu Qing is considered fast.

After successfully perfecting his supernatural ability to utilize the power of will, Gu Qing began to act with great arrogance, setting three sacrificial festivals a year. The entire Qing Palace, along with the newly established Three Immortal Cities, would simultaneously worship three statues of the Dao-establishing deities, namely himself.

In this way, the collection of wish-power crystals can be accelerated.

Once he had accumulated enough experience, he could begin a new phase of rapid cultivation. Staying on the Three Immortals Mountain would not allow him to improve as quickly as before, so Gu Qing couldn't help but feel the urge to travel.

The Cangwu Realm encompasses the vast and beautiful lands, yet he has only visited two of them; this is truly unacceptable.

Once Qinggong is on the right track, all that's needed is to leave behind a spirit body to oversee it.

Gu Qing is currently studying and practicing the new supernatural power, "Chasing Stars and Catching the Moon." As for the forbidden supernatural power, "Time Blade," he has only studied it in his mind using his divine sense, without actually practicing it.

This is a powerful supernatural ability that touches upon the laws of time. Cultivating it is extremely dangerous, and one must be very careful to avoid a situation like that of the Third Ancestor Gu Zhixuan.

Refining weapons, cultivating oneself, and performing magic—the cycle repeats endlessly.

In his spare time, he often accompanied Yun Yuyan on excursions to enjoy nature. They could ascend to the heavens to gather qi and observe the morning glow and clouds, or descend to the underworld to stroll through nature and scoop up water from the River of Oblivion to brew tea.

"what happened?"

Yun Yuyan rested one hand lightly on her chest, while the other arm lazily propped up on the intricately carved jade railing. She stood gracefully, gazing at the distant green hills and clear waters.

She wore a gossamer-thin, snow-white gauze dress, with the front slightly open, revealing her fair neck and half of her soft breasts.

Gu Qing hugged the beauty's slender waist from behind, but was ruthlessly slapped away by her jade-like hand.

"You've been spending a lot of time with me lately, are you going on a long trip?"

"You guessed that?"

Gu Qing leaned against the side, completely relaxed, slumped there as if he had no bones, which made Yun Yuyan roll her eyes.

"I'm not stupid, how could I not notice?"

"And also—being the head of a sect must be exhausting."

"It's alright, it's all for the sake of cultivation."

Aside from having to put on a dignified appearance and stand there every day, there's nothing wrong with that.

"Let's not talk about that. Let me check on your recent progress in cultivation."

"Don't make trouble."

"Isn't it nice to be under the flowers and moon, behind the trees and on the rocks? Don't worry—no one can see us."

"No~"

a long time.

Yun Yuyan, panting, reluctantly declined Gu Qing's request for a deeper conversation. She meant no other than to express her concern about Gu Qing's cultivation level.

Upon realizing this, Gu Qing didn't continue, but offered words of comfort.

"Don't rush—you're still young. With the support of the Azure Palace, what can't you get, not to mention the Western Sea? Even just in the coastal areas, what can't you have?"

"The inheritance of Zhurong is the path to heaven. With your talent, you will definitely reach the fifth rank within three thousand years."

Yun Yuyan, who had initially felt somewhat relieved, felt dejected again: "Three thousand years, by then you will definitely have ascended to immortality, while it will take me more than ten thousand years to reach the fourth rank."

"Changes in humanity, external forces from the demon race, and the predetermined lifespan—whether we can live to see that time is all a question."

"Before I leave, I will wipe out all demons and monsters." "Even the last demon immortal failed to unify the eight wastelands of demons, so there's no need to put so much pressure on yourself."

"I'm three hundred years old, where would I get the pressure?"

Yun Yuyan: "..."

Sometimes she wanted to strangle him, but he was always telling the truth, which only made her more worried.

"The Holy Ancestor's Fire Pool is in my hands. I will return it to you before I leave. How you use it is up to you."

"Let's put it on the Seven Islands of the Big Dipper of the Yun Clan. Given our relationship, it can be used anytime."

"According to your."

After their conversation, silence fell between them, and Yun Yuyan nestled in Gu Qing's arms, holding him tightly.

"when are we leaving?"

"No rush. I need to bring enough Wish Power Crystals before I leave, and let's set a ten-year deadline. I also need to contact the Heavenly Wasteland Domain. At my level, I can't just go anywhere."

When one's cultivation level is low, it's fine. But when one's cultivation level is high, and one has already met others in the Void Battlefield, it's natural to need to present a visiting card when going to the territories of other immortal sects.

If someone leaves without notice and causes damage, it can easily harm the friendship between the two parties once the damage is discovered.

"That's true, the Heavenly Wasteland Domain—Flaming Mountain?!"

"Correct."

"When Lian Chutiangong ascended the Ancestral Hall, he met several friends who invited me to enter the Myriad Flames Heaven Secret Realm of Flame Mountain, where a wisp of imperial flame left behind by the Flame Immortal Lord was kept."

"It can use its position to lock onto all the strange flames of heaven and earth in the Cangwu cultivation world."

"The agreement was set for a hundred years, but unfortunately, I went to another world, and the agreed time has passed."

"That's it."

Gu Qing chuckled softly, stroked Yun Yuyan's cheek, and lowered his head to speak.

"The strange fire of heaven and earth is a rare treasure, and it can help me control the laws of fire. When I return, I will take you to a good place."

"Where?"

"Great place!"

…………

…………

Ten years have gone by in a blink of an eye.

After collecting enough wish-power crystals to last him for a while, Gu Qing left the Green Palace. Apart from Yun Yuyan knowing that he had left, the news did not spread.

This journey is not only to enter the Myriad Flames Heaven Secret Realm and witness the power of the Emperor Flame, but also to collect different flames.

It will take quite a while.

Before leaving, he left behind the Holy Ancestor Fire Pool, and the seven treasure gourds could only be nurtured by himself. In this regard, he set up an array, with the Ancestral Artifact Tower as the core, to separate the three thousand Great Dao Flames that had been fused into sub-flames.

They are integrated into different flags and magical artifacts to form the Heaven-Refining Array.

The art of array formations has boundless potential. From the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls to the ten Flame Banners, they can all provide him with immense assistance on his future path.

Using the inter-domain teleportation array of Yunmeng Immortal Mountain, they arrived in the [Tianhuang Domain] in an instant.

This place is located slightly south of the center of the four seas and eight wastelands, stretching for countless miles, and is extremely vast.

The area is covered with volcanic terrain and has sparse vegetation.

The sect of Flame Immortal Mountain is perpetually ablaze with flames, stretching across nine thousand miles. The fire elemental energy here is so dense it's explosive, making it a divinely aided place to perform fire-based spells.

For Gu Qing, it was like a fish in water.

Witnessing firsthand the desolate landscape and the explosive appearance of the mountains ablaze greatly helped him comprehend the laws of fire.

"If I had entered the Dao here back then, perhaps my cultivation speed would have been much faster." (End of Chapter)
