Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Using a secret method to send a message to the Three Pill Dao Lords, Gu Qing turned his head and glanced at the bottom of the Pill River. A fleeting image of a dragon and a phoenix flashed in his eyes. He saw the Pill King that had once been prepared for the Kunlun Immortal Lord.

In terms of rarity, it is probably the highest grade elixir in the Cangwu cultivation world, but unfortunately it is only a semi-finished product.

However, if it were used by a fifth-grade cultivator to break through, it should also have a considerable effect.

"Full of ethereal beauty, imbued with the spirit of Taoism."

"I wonder how it was made..."

With a sigh, Gu Qing flew away from the Dan River without looking back. As soon as he left the Taihe Inheritance Secret Realm, the Three Pill Dao Lords, who carried a strong fragrance of pills, came to greet him.

"Congratulations on your successful breakthrough, fellow Daoist. You have become another pillar of our human race."

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. What is the current situation outside?"

"The situation is very favorable."

As San Dan Daojun led Gu Qing along the way, the Taihe cultivators they encountered were all in a hurry. Some of them used their magic power to protect their alchemy furnaces, and while the spiritual fire was still heating, they ran out of the mountains.

After a few breaths, he returned to the mountain gate, seemingly in a hurry for no apparent reason.

"This is……?"

"To deal with the demons of the White Bone Corpse Vein."

Gu Qing's expression turned solemn. His divine sense detected a large number of skeleton demons and corpse spirits fighting each other on a plain not far from Taihe Mountain.

The Three Pill Daoist Master continued.

"Since you went into seclusion, the Eight Desolate Demon Clan has issued a mobilization order in their respective desolate territories, ordering all demons to attack the headquarters of the Twelve Immortal Sects."

"Most of them are commanded by one or two rogue demon lords behind the scenes. They do nothing but show up and run away as soon as my human Dao Lord makes a move."

"Turning around, they came to attack again with a group of lesser demons. They knew that the chance of breaking through was almost zero, and their purpose was to distract us."

"Changing the battlefield from one to twelve will test our and the Four Seas Dragon Clan's coordination capabilities."

After hearing what the Three Pill Dao Lords said, Gu Qing felt that this was not good news. It was a pity that so many living beings died here. It would have been better if they had all died in the Western Wilderness.

Every bit of spiritual energy we can accumulate is a bonus. As bait for the barren worms, the Western Wilderness must be one step ahead of the other eleven regions; otherwise, it simply won't be able to attract them.

"Where are the top-tier demon clan experts? Where is Lady White Bone?"

The Three Pill Daoist was taken aback.

"You're thinking……"

"No, every supreme demon emperor is extremely important; they can only die in the Western Wilderness!"

"I want to ask about those demon emperors in the Western Wilderness."

"The Heavenly Golden Crocodile... They've been missing for some time now. It's said they went to track down three Demon Lords from the far north. Two-thirds of the Western Wilderness has already fallen into the hands of the human race."

"We are currently in a standoff at the Tianzong Mountains. This is a jade slip summarizing all the intelligence from the last ten years. I knew you would want to see it when you came out of seclusion, so I prepared it long ago."

Gu Qing's eyes lit up.

"You didn't tell me earlier."

"I go first."

The Three Pill Dao Lord was speechless for a moment, but still spoke to him.

"Have a safe journey. If you encounter any powerful demons, do not attack them. If you can capture any demons below the highest level, take them to the Western Wilderness."

"Understand."

Patting him on the shoulder, Gu Qing flew away, streaking across the night sky like a shooting star. The Ancient Wilderness was right next to the Western Wilderness, and he planned to fly there directly and take the opportunity to observe the desolate veins here.

On the way, he used his divine sense to review ten years' worth of battle reports.

It was discovered that since the Devouring Sun Hou and Heavenly Sword Child were devoured and killed by the Netherworld Ghost Gate, battles at the fifth-rank level had become extremely rare.

The human race's powerful warriors were busy clearing away the accumulated and stagnant Yin energy, while the demon race was busy pursuing and intercepting the three Demon Lords, who disappeared three years ago. Their last known location was an area in the eastern part of the Western Wilderness.

"strangeness."

There's no reason for the demon race to relentlessly pursue the three demon lords. Could it be that they've lost more than just three treasure troves, or possess some other precious items they're unaware of, that they'd be willing to postpone their war with the human race?

He personally went to chase after the White-Haired Demon Lord, the Devouring Demon Dragon, and the Peerless Demon Saint.

I'm pondering the hidden information within it.

We arrived at the desolate land where the two places meet and are isolated. The desolate land has no spiritual energy and is inhabited only by various wild beasts and savage creatures, but it can also give birth to rare treasures such as wild treasures.

The root cause of its appearance comes from underground, where the earth veins composed of barren insects devour all the spiritual energy that approaches this area.

Theoretically speaking, these tiny insects, which are difficult for even divine sense to observe, feed on spiritual energy and would naturally be tempted by it.

After disappearing underground, Gu Qing carefully examined the entire area from beginning to end.

If we take the Western Wilderness as the endpoint, we can clearly see that the desolate vein is spreading in that direction. The side closer to the Primordial Wilderness is neat and tidy, as if it has been trimmed, without any "burrs".

It works, and the effect is quite obvious!
After the inspection, Gu Qing was very satisfied and was about to go to the Burial Valley to tell Senior Tian Yunzi when the aftershocks of the battle in the depths of the desolate place spread for thousands of miles, instantly attracting his attention.

With a flick of his index finger, he channeled his immortal energy, and with a gentle stroke, he created a powerful energy barrier.

The spatial layer was instantly torn apart, and in a single step, one could travel thousands of miles, arriving at their destination in the blink of an eye, where they discovered an unexpected person.

"The Mysterious Sword Master?!"

Upon hearing Gu Qing's voice, the Sword Lord, who was engaged in battle with the Netherworld creatures, was overjoyed and immediately transformed into a streak of sword light to rush over.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, please help."

"What kind of ghostly monster is this?"

Gu Qing stepped forward, and the silvery-white space condensed into a substantial, concentrated barrier. With a push, it blocked the sky full of ghostly flames.

Netherfire is a unique flame found only in the Netherworld. It has a strong ability to suppress evil spirits and malevolent entities. He encountered Netherfire when he entered the Lesser Netherworld at the Drywood Cliff in the Falling Cloud Mountains.

It's a pity I didn't have the ability to capture it back then, but I've encountered it again this time. I can try to integrate it into the Three Thousand Great Dao Flames to increase the power of the primordial laws.

"This is a drought demon, not the one in history, nor one newly born in the Cangwu cultivation world, but the drought demon Youjun who was born in the Netherworld."

"Hanba?"

Gu Qing narrowed her eyes, intrigued.

The legend that the drought demon appears and scorches the land for thousands of miles is not a joke. It is a powerful monster at the peak of the Corpse Path, possessing the power of natural disasters.

The two sides faced off, neither making a move immediately. The drought demon, which resembled a woman and was dressed in green, also watched Gu Qing warily.

"How did you get involved with it?"

"The Netherworld Gate!"

"The Qimen Sword Master said through gritted teeth."

“During this time, I have been tracking the pure Netherworld aura that appeared in the vicinity. The few who went to the Netherworld have not yet returned.”

"That's when we encountered it smuggling itself across the Yin-Yang Road to Cangwu."

"After I interrupted them, only a drought demon and a few other evil creatures such as the Undying Bone and Flying Yaksha came over."

"Is this so..."

Qimen Sword Lord was, after all, a high-ranking Dao Lord, yet he was unable to do anything to it for a time and was even at a disadvantage. If Gu Qing hadn't passed by, he might have suffered a silent loss.

"I'd like to trouble Fellow Daoist Gu to cover for me; I want to catch it myself."

"No problem—" (End of Chapter)
