Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Gu Qing woke up on time and fixed his gaze on the entire Western Wilderness Continent.

In fact, there's no need to perceive it too much. Qingqiu Immortal Mountain is located on the edge of the Northern Wilderness, bordering the Western Wilderness. It's less than a thousand miles away, yet a vast expanse of white mist still descends upon it.

They ride the breeze, devouring all spiritual matter they encounter; they are veritable world-destroying insects and extremely troublesome.

A flash of fire streaked across the void.

Standing beside Fairy Butterfly at the summit of Fox Tail Peak in Qingqiu Mountain, Gu Qing suddenly stepped out and sighed.

"coming."

"Yes, you've finally arrived. Brother Gu, did you gain anything from your seclusion this time?"

"Very good, here's the array diagram back with you."

Fairy Butterfly accepted the [Heavenly Universe Array Diagram] and said meaningfully, "Ten years ago, a supreme treasure of the Thunder Dao appeared. Was it forged by you, Brother Dao?"

"it's me."

Gu Qing did not refute. Not many people knew that he was skilled in weapon crafting. After all, he had only crafted weapons on a large scale when he was in Baiyue Mountain, and he had basically remained at the level of spiritual weapons. He had never even crafted magic treasures for others.

Apart from Tian Yunzi, who personally witnessed the Transcendental Treasure Raft, no one else knew about his unique skill.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Butterfly asked, "After this incident is over, would you have the honor of having Brother Gu refine one or two Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures for me?"

"No problem—"

Gu Qing did not refuse. After all, he had just benefited from the other party's inheritance and heritage for free. Saying a few nice words was no big deal, as long as he was paid. His time was also very valuable.

"The swarm of barren insects has arrived. Let's go to the front lines."

"Go together."

The two walked hand in hand. The place was not far away. The new front line was on the border of the two great wildernesses. The fate of the Western Wilderness had been decided, and the Immortal Alliance had also withdrawn.

There's no more territory-grabbing or large-scale fighting to come. After dealing with the Desolate Insects, the decisive battle between the human and demon races will begin, and there's still a long fight ahead!
Therefore, everyone gathered here is a strong person.

After exchanging a few pleasantries at the temporary outpost on the edge, the human race's supreme Dao Lords arrived at the center of the Western Wilderness's super spiritual vein, where the powerful figures who had been guarding it for the past thirty years had all returned.

Butterfly Fairy, Gu Qing, Yunmeng Daojun, Jiulei Daojun, Feng Xian, Beiming Jinmu Yuanjun, Tianyunzi, and Dameng Xianjun!
A total of eight Supreme Dao Lords!

This was the period after the ascension of the demon immortals when the number of human powerhouses rose the most. It's a pity that Tian Jianzi died unjustly, otherwise there would have been nine.

At the same time, tens of thousands of miles away, the demon emperors of the demon race also gathered together, preparing to observe the process of the Western Wilderness disappearing, and would also step in to remedy any unexpected events.

Of course, unless the plan fails, they will not intervene even if all the human powerhouses are dead. They will focus their efforts on monitoring the situation, simply because the Eight Desolate Demon Clan is also a member of the Cangwu Immortal Cultivation World.

The Four Dragon Lords formed a separate team and also came to the vicinity of the Western Wilderness. The East Sea and the North Sea, which had previously withdrawn, also sent their highest-ranking Dragon Lords.

North Sea - Fengtian Dragon Lord, South Sea - Dark Moon Dragon Lord.

West Sea - Soaring Mist Dragon Lord, East Sea - Praying Path Dragon Lord!

Their goal was the same: to ensure that the plan to exile all the wasteland worms would go smoothly.

All three parties knew that there was only one enemy.

—The Netherworld!
All is ready except for the opportunity.

As the billowing white mist, emitting a buzzing sound, continued to converge towards the super spiritual vein, and even its "tail" had ventured a distance into the Western Wilderness, darkness fell!
The transition from day to night happens in an instant. A gate to the underworld, carved with a ferocious ghost's head, opens wide in the clouds, with countless paths leading to the underworld connecting to this gate.

Bang, bang, bang—

The sound of weapons striking shields in unison echoed between heaven and earth. Amidst the interplay of reality and illusion, an army of ghostly spirits, arranged in neat rows, appeared on the ground, carried by the eerie wind.

The howls of ghosts, like the playing of a suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument), were chilling.

The temperature gradually dropped, frost and snow and eerie winds howled, and the view was a gray-white expanse. The endless army of ghosts from the underworld crossed the Yin-Yang Road and completely set foot in the present world of Cangwu.

Their appearance is thanks to the countless lives slaughtered on this land, likely some kind of blood sacrifice, which, upon reaching a certain level, opened the Netherworld Gate that connects the two realms.

Back then, Tianjianzi and Tunrihou were devoured by the Ghost Gate, which was manifested by this rule.

One by one, the noble lords arrived.

After Ping Sui Dao Jun's earlier investigation, everyone knew who their opponents were: none other than the most powerful ghost emperors who roamed the Netherworld.

The Adopted Prince, the Corpse Lord of Heaven, the Evil Demon Infant, the Nine Absolute Ghost Emperor, and the Blood Sea Underworld Princess!
These five are all born Netherworld Lords, wielding some of the power of the Netherworld. To some extent, they are powerful beings who surpass the fifth-rank extreme position. Five of them arrived in an instant.

Even the most powerful Dao Lords of the Twelve Immortal Sects felt immense pressure for a time.

In addition, the White-Haired Demon Lord and the Peerless Demon Saint, two long-lost demonic powerhouses, also appeared in the Netherworld, which is quite strange, as they did not seem to be forced.

What surprised Gu Qing the most was that an acquaintance, along with several less familiar demons and ghosts, also appeared in the opposing camp.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Jun, whose true form is the Ten Thousand Jun Ant, was manipulated by Gu Qing during the battle in the Southern Wilderness and was eventually severely injured and forced to flee.

During World War II in the southern wilderness, Gu Qing tried to contact him, but had been unable to reach him.

Now it has transformed into a demonic form, clearly becoming an inanimate object, similar to the Guhuoniao, yet different.

The Wan Jun Ant is a creature that actively embraces the Netherworld, while the Gu Huo Niao is a demon bird whose corpse has become a spirit. It is a kind of ghost bird demon, and in terms of bloodline, it is half ghost and half demon, so there is still a big difference between them.

After many years apart, he gained some benefit from embracing the Netherworld, and actually ascended to the highest position. Moreover, as soon as he appeared, he stared intently at Gu Qing, still remembering how he was tricked in his previous life.

The demons and ghosts around him were mostly powerful demon lords who died in history when they resisted the rule of the Eight Desolate Demon Court. After being transformed by the Netherworld, they had basically all reached the extreme level.

The species are strange and unusual, but they are the most numerous, totaling seven.

Adding the five Innate Netherworld Lords and two Demon Lords, there are fourteen extremely powerful individuals, plus the massive ghost army and fifth-rank ghost kings.

This unexpected turn of events greatly exceeded their expectations of the power of the underworld.

The top-ranking dragon lords of the four seas rushed over immediately, all knowing full well that a fierce battle was about to begin!
Twelve vs. Fourteen!

The difference in strength is not significant; even a powerful figure like the Great Dream Immortal Lord could easily take on three opponents at once. However, they need to be wary of a sneak attack from the demon race and create a battle situation where superior horses are fighting inferior ones.

Eliminating the enemy as quickly as possible is the only way to gain a numerical advantage and thus secure victory.

Therefore, it is crucial who will hold off the five Innate Netherworld Lords. Gu Qing prefers that the Four Seas Dragon Lord and the Northern Underworld Golden Mother Lord hold them off, not seeking victory, but simply to stall them.

If they can hold out until they eliminate some of the Netherworld experts, the situation will immediately improve.

Tian Yunzi looked around and immediately sent a telepathic message to each person to assign opponents; the battlefield was the entire Western Wilderness.

This battle will continue until the Western Wilderness is submerged! (End of Chapter)
