Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 126 Promotion and Life Extension (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe)

During the process of condensing the [Sage of Sumeru wielding the sword to open the six realms of reincarnation], Jing Qian's lifespan was greatly depleted, leaving him with only a little over twenty years.

Fortunately, he successfully rebuilt his lifespan destiny, gaining more than five years of lifespan every month. After his promotion, he recovered his lifespan again.

Right now, he has used up ten years of his lifespan, continuously pouring it into the body of the Immortal Sword Embryo through the [Sword of Longevity].

As his lifespan increased, a subtle connection developed between him and this primordial embryo.

This is proof that the level of refinement is rapidly increasing!
Jing Qian held the primordial embryo in his hands, pouring all his divine consciousness and thoughts into it, attempting to infect the primordial embryo with his own aura.

With his cultivation level, his divine sense originally couldn't even touch the [Immortal Sword Embryo].

But as his lifespan was being poured into the primordial embryo, his divine consciousness, because they came from the same source, also mixed in.

Only then did Jing Qian realize that the greatest effect of the [Sword of Longevity] was not to suppress ghosts, but to nourish the [Spiritual Mechanism] destiny!
After ten years of lifespan infusion, the [Immortal Sword Embryo] underwent a qualitative change, generating a [Destiny] of one coin without the need for magical nurturing.

Don't underestimate this small amount of "fate number"; it's not even enough to cover the cost of a complete "fate chart".

However, since it was born from the primordial embryo, it was favored by the Great Dao and was promoted to a true spiritual sword!
What would have taken many years of nurturing for someone else to achieve a crucial breakthrough, Jing Qian accomplished in the blink of an eye.

At this point, Jing Qian had completely taken control of this primordial embryo, using it as his innate spiritual energy for future advancement to the [Subduing Spirit] realm.

[Rank: First Rank]

【Life span burden: 10 days/day】

[Fate] was set, and boundless sword energy surged out from the sword body, wildly coiling around it, almost causing Jing Qian to lose his grip.

Once the sword energy dissipated, the staircase stone sword also underwent a drastic change in appearance.

A large, solid, gilded black jade sword appeared in Jing Qian's hand.

Having shed its stone outer layer, the sword became much thinner and more refined, finally taking on the appearance of a sword.

This [Immortal Sword Embryo] is an innate sword embryo formed by chance, combining the supreme power of [Hidden Sword Mountain].

Although its status is high and its magic power is strong, in reality, this sword embryo is simply a naturally formed artifact.

Jing Qian was fortunate enough to obtain such a sword blank, which can be described as a bittersweet experience.

The pain lies in the fact that this sword blank requires a massive amount of magic power and resources to be gradually sculpted into the shape of a celestial sword.

The joy lies in the fact that when he finally forges this sword, the sword that the sword embryo transforms into will surely be a top-tier treasure that is most compatible with him!

The moment the "spiritual idea" was formed, it immediately began to consume Jing Qian's lifespan.

Fortunately, the lifespan burden of a [spiritual energy] refined by the innate primordial embryo is significantly lower than that of other [spiritual energy] of the same level!

The loss of ten days of lifespan was nothing to Jing Qian at this point.

He brandished his greatsword, and a violent wind pressure erupted, stirring up a huge storm within the Pure Yang Cave.

He couldn't be more satisfied with his new sword!

Once the [Innate Immortal Sword Embryo] was refined, it immediately triggered other changes.

The secret technique of the Pure Yang Refining Immortal Sword Dao Book trembled, and a black-gold thread extended from the body of the [Innate Immortal Sword Embryo], merging with the golden thread that was already binding it.

The Pure Yang Sword Refining System integrated by Jin Xian also incorporates the power of the [Innate Immortal Sword Embryo] into its own system.

The sword embryo that Jing Qian forged using the "Refining Immortal Sword Dao Book" received the blessing of a first-grade [Spiritual Energy], and also achieved a crucial breakthrough:
[Inspiration: Pure Yang Immortal Sword Embryo]

Category: Seeking One’s Roots

[Rank: First Rank]

Another first-grade [Immortal Sword Embryo] has been born!
The two sword embryos intertwined, together forming the black jade heavy sword in his hand!
For Jing Qian, this black jade heavy sword, which combines the power of two sword embryos, has undoubtedly become a core treasure for cultivation and combat.

In terms of its status, it stands out from the rest, surpassing all other "spiritual abilities" in Jing Qian.

Unfortunately, his magical power was too weak, and he was unable to wield the [Innate Pure Yang Immortal Sword Embryo] at all, not even able to perform the most basic move of transforming into light and slashing.

Two thousand [Azure Wing Life Essence] are still several thousand times less than what's needed to properly wield this immortal sword.

For a long time to come, this immortal sword will only be used as a fire poker to hit people.

Even so, this is still an extremely powerful first-grade immortal treasure. Relying solely on physical damage, it is by no means something that ordinary people can withstand.

The appearance of the [Innate Pure Yang Immortal Sword Embryo] will completely change Jing Qian's cultivation and combat methods, but he is happy to see it happen.

He raised his hand and pointed, and the power of [Entanglement of Cause and Effect] manifested, wrapping the immortal sword in his hand around his back.

Jing Qian, carrying his new sword, turned and fled from the Pure Yang Cave.

Upon arriving in the mortal world, Shangxi had already left, leaving only an old white ox standing alone beside the Sword-Sharpening Cliff.

Upon seeing Jing Qian finally emerge, it immediately spoke:
"Young Master Chixiao, the Sect Leader has left on business and asked me to stay and wait for you."

"You have successfully chosen your sword. According to the rules of our Pure Yang Heaven, you can strike the Sword-Sharpening Cliff again."

Upon hearing this, Jing Qian's eyes lit up immediately; there couldn't be a better benefit from the sect!

The fundamental sword energy within the Qingping Sword Box doubled, which was an extremely exaggerated improvement for him.

Without hesitation, he untied the [Immortal Sword Embryo] from his back and swung his sword towards the Sword Grinding Cliff.

Accompanying this was the opening of the sword box, from which a surge of sword energy burst forth.

This was his first move after obtaining the [Immortal Sword Embryo], and also the first time this first-grade great sword was revealed to the public.

That skinny old white ox is a true connoisseur!

Don't let its current emaciated and lifeless state fool you; it entered the sect a long, long time ago and witnessed the truly glorious peak of the Pure Yang Heaven, making it a living fossil of the sect.

The 【Innate Pure Yang Immortal Sword Embryo】is a divine object that conceals its true nature. When it is carried on Jing Qian's back, it is completely inconspicuous, and ordinary people cannot tell that it is a great sword of the first rank.

But when he swung it, the terrifying power that shattered the void left the old white ox speechless.

As the foundation of the Pure Yang Heaven lineage, the Sword-Sharpening Cliff is half a level higher than the Hidden Sword Mountain.

But when Jing Qian struck hard with his sword, a hole the size of a bowl was also carved out on the Sword Grinding Cliff.

Even the fundamental sword energy that followed was momentarily obscured.

When Jing Qian swung his sword for the first time, he was struck by the counterattack of the two great treasures, which directly broke his left arm and even severely damaged his internal organs.

But he didn't care at all; on the contrary, he had a look of utter elation on his face.

With just a simple sword strike, he experienced how powerful it was to use a top-tier [Spiritual Ability] to cut people, and the experience was absolutely amazing!

The Sword-Sharpening Cliff was struck by this heavy blow, and thousands of sword lights within it were unleashed simultaneously, reflecting out with an attack power no less than Jing Qian's.

Jing Qian summoned the Qingping Sword Box, and like a whale sucking in water, he devoured all the returning sword energy.

To his surprise, in addition to the fact that the power of the sword energy itself had doubled, the power of the [Innate Pure Yang Immortal Sword Embryo]'s strike had also doubled and been poured into the [Sword Box].

His fundamental sword energy has seen another significant increase!

Just then, the old white ox suddenly spoke up in praise:

"Young Master Chixiao's offensive prowess is truly extraordinary."

"I've been guarding the Sword Grinding Cliff for 100,000 years, and there hasn't been a single Pure Yang disciple who has accumulated so much sword energy at the [Dragon Elephant] realm!"

Jing Qian, who was standing to the side, had just fully recovered from his physical injuries and was quite satisfied with his progress in cultivation.

"Young Master, the Sect Master also asked me to keep an eye on things. Once you've collected the magic sword, if its grade is in the upper three ranks, I'll take you to collect a section of sword lotus root according to the standards of [Chunyangzi].

"He's currently unable to attend to this matter and will likely have to wait until this crisis passes before he can preside over your investiture ceremony."

Jing Qian waved his hand, not caring at all. He already had the mid-grade title [Lord of All Things Sumeru] with him, so he didn't have a strong need for a new title.

Instead, he asked:
"Uncle Niu, what is this 'sword lotus root' you mentioned? Is it the lotus root that grows in the 'Sword Lotus Pond'?"

"Young master guessed correctly, it is indeed that treasure."

"Although the life fire in the Sword Lotus Pond has been extinguished and the new sword lotus roots have stopped growing, there are still quite a few left at the bottom of the pond."

"This [Sword Lotus] can be considered a top-notch treasure for increasing magical power."

"Our Pure Yang Heaven sect has lost its original Daoist scriptures, and our disciples all rely on borrowed inheritances to refine their magical power and cultivate their abilities."

"Although the previous sect leaders collected a lot of high-level inheritances during their tenure, they were still lacking in some aspects."

"Therefore, if the disciples of Chunyang want to make up for their lack of magical power, they rely entirely on this pool of [Sword Lotus].

"This [Sword Lotus] is a genuine Grade Three [Heaven-Mending] treasure material. A cultivator of the lowest Grade Three can refine a section of it and replenish the magical power corresponding to a [Celestial Spirit Qi]."

"If we consider the young master's current [Dragon Elephant] cultivation level, that would be a full 100,000 [Azure Wing Life Essence] to increase his maximum mana."

Jing Qian was extremely surprised to hear this and couldn't help but ask:
"One hundred thousand? Did I hear that right?!"

A single lotus root could increase his magical power fiftyfold, and he almost lost his Dao heart.

“That’s right. This Sword Lotus is of extraordinary quality. It is a top-grade innate spiritual root. If it is not a cultivator of the lower grade, one can only nurture one section at most. With the young master’s talent and foundation, it is only right that he has dug out the Sword Lotus Pond.”

The man and the ox turned around and entered the Pure Yang Cave again. Jing Qian followed behind the old white ox and asked:
"Master Niu, you've been a disciple for so long, you must be very knowledgeable. Could you tell me about the past of our Pure Yang Heaven?"

But then the old white ox shook its head and said meaningfully:
"So that the young master may know, I, Old Niu, have been a disciple for 100,000 years, served 27 different sect leaders, experienced the sect's peak, and accompanied the sect from its peak to its current state."

“This process has been fraught with countless calamities, and the number of disciples who have perished is staggering.”

"However, seeing the high spirits of Sect Leader Shangxi and Young Master, Old Niu is quite gratified. Our [Pure Yang Heaven] is still strong."

"I, Old Niu, have a detailed record of our sect's past, present, and historical evolution. However, I can only open it to you after you receive the title of [Chunyangzi]."

"Now, it seems we'll have to wait until Sect Leader Shangxi finishes his important business and is free to act."

Jing Qian nodded, saying it would only be about a year.

After he obtained the "Sage's Appearance" and acquired the "Immortal Sword Embryo," his confidence in the success of the Shangxi Plan greatly increased.

He added:

"Master Niu, may I arrange for a little ghost to serve you? This little ghost carries the beacon of my grotto, and I can chat with you when I have nothing to do."

"Of course, of course, please make the arrangements as you see fit, young master."

Jing Qian nodded, then pulled out a Light Ghost from the Hell Scroll and attached it to the old white ox's hoof.

The blessing that the "Light Ghost" brought to the old white ox was barely anything, but it seemed to have helped to lighten the load on its back, making it a little easier.

Upon arriving at the edge of the [Sword Lotus Pond], the old white ox didn't hesitate and activated a spell to unleash the power of the lotus pond.

Jing Qian immediately understood and channeled a wisp of his divine consciousness into the lotus pond.

As a result, a white sword lotus grew in the sword lotus pond, which was a symbol of his identity as a disciple of the Pure Yang lineage.

Then, a section of crystal-clear lotus root, as clear as glass, emerged directly from the lotus pond and fell into his hand.

Jing Qian seized him, then turned to the old white ox and said:
"Brother Niu, I'm pretty busy, is there anything else?"

"Young master, please go about your business. I, Old Niu, must carry the Sword-Sharpening Cliff on my back and find a quiet place to hide away."

"Young master, just go ahead and do whatever you want, don't hold back."

"As long as Sect Leader Shangxi can break through this barrier, my Pure Yang Heaven will be able to produce another great cultivator, and all problems will no longer be problems."

"To be able to accept a disciple like the young master into the sect in such a desolate time is truly a fitting tribute to the [Pure Yang Heaven]'s desperate counterattack!"

Jing Qian nodded, and his figure vanished from the spot in a flash.

The old white ox moved even more nimbly, flashing out of the cave, carrying the Sword Grinding Cliff on its back, and heading north.

As it ran, it changed its form, transforming from a white ox into a skinny black donkey.

The Sword-Sharpening Cliff on its back, which resembled a small mountain, gradually shrank and transformed into a broken saddle on a donkey's back.

The skinny donkey didn't even use its escape light, yet it covered a hundred zhang in a single step, traveling across the crystal-clear, flat land of [Xuzhou]. In just one day, it traversed tens of thousands of miles, approaching the border of the Northern Pass of the Divine Dynasty.

It then slowed down, transforming into the aura of a ninth-grade wild donkey, and galloped towards Beishangguan.

It planned to head north to Guanzhong, find an opportunity to sneak out of the pass, and go to the territory of the mountain ghosts in Juzhou to find someone to freeload a meal.

Not long after, a beam of light descended from the horizon, revealing a girl riding a white horse with a single horn.

The girl then spoke:
"Komako, there's a stray donkey here. Go talk to it and tell it to follow me and carry my dogs."

But behind the girl's horse, a dead dog with a swollen body was being dragged along.

The wild donkey glanced at the strange group and immediately decided to join them. It went up to the dead dog, picked it up with its mouth, and carried it on its back.

The girl then spoke to the skinny donkey:
"You're quite sensible. Once we get to Beishangguan, you'll be treated to plenty of good food and wine. Let's go."

Su Min'er and her group, consisting of one person and three beasts, quickly moved away once again.

……

Jing Qian, holding the Sword Lotus, entered the Void Realm, only to be utterly shocked by the scene before him.

But the vast [Void Realm] was completely empty, as if it had been robbed. All the wealth he had painstakingly accumulated had been taken away and disappeared without a trace.

Within the entire realm, only a large cauldron remained in the north, a corn stalk in the south, and an old boat moored there.

Even the Yuan Qi glue he had just obtained from the Ghost Yuan Palace, which filled an entire cave, had vanished. The Yuan Qi density within the cave had actually decreased significantly; only four Yuan Qi cores were frantically drawing pure Yuan Qi from the Sea of ​​Yuan Qi to replenish the cave.

Among them, the [yin energy], [ghost energy], and [netherworld energy] were all occupied by [good corn].

The core of the Yang energy lies beneath the Furnace of Sumeru, generating Yang-attribute primordial energy to supply the needs of the Life Stove.

[Good Corn] is still sleeping. Needless to say, the changes in this [Virtual Realm] are all thanks to Qili.

The kitten was playing in the kitchen when Jing Qian raised his hand and beckoned it to him.

But after the little black cat's cultivation advanced to the fifth rank, its entire demeanor changed, and it developed a rather arrogant, nouveau riche-like air.

Jing Qian asked:
"Qili, where are the materials for my entire grotto?"

"Reporting to you, sir, I sold them all as you instructed, and I used all the money to buy Azure Wing Life Flames."

"Sold them all? What happened to all my Vitality Boosting Gel?"

The fox was full of vigor and high spirits.

"Yes, they're all sold!"

"That Vitality Glue is the favorite food of the [Kitchen Spirits], and it's the most sought-after item in the [Kitchen]. Those fools almost came to blows over my Vitality Glue!"

"Moreover, when Frog Lord saw that I had brought so much Vitality Glue, he waived 90% of the delivery fee for the [Kitchen], so I took the opportunity to clear out all the junk in the cave."

"My lord, you've come at the perfect time. There are only seven days left until the auction of [Nightmare Kiss], and the [Kitchen] ceremony is about to reach its climax."

"We've saved up such a large sum of cash; we can probably buy quite a few precious treasures!"

"You didn't see the scene inside the kitchen. This time, the scale is even bigger and bigger, and everyone has brought out their most treasured possessions."

"Our family's fourth-grade [Nightmare's Kiss] was originally intended to be the grand finale at the Dharma Assembly, but now it's feared that it might not even make it into the top three."

Upon hearing this, Jing Qian's curiosity was piqued. He reached out and touched the kitten's head, quickly reviewing its memories from the past period.

Then, the Three Lives Eyes opened for a full five seconds before closing again, allowing it to gather and analyze the information.

Having a thorough understanding of the details of the entire Dharma assembly, he also had a full understanding of all the transactions made by Qixi.

I did give the order to deal with the groceries, but I didn't expect Qili to be so proactive and implement it so thoroughly.

However, this was also a lucky accident, adding the final push to his promotion.

"Go play in the kitchen. I might not be able to attend the ceremony. Discuss with Frog King and put the Nightmare Kiss in his hands first. Give me as many Azure Wing Life Flames as you can get."

"Yes, my lord!"

The fox didn't understand, but it still obeyed.

Jing Qian then stepped forward to the [Furnace of Sumeru].

His newly upgraded fifth-grade [Title Furnace] can already absorb vital energy and refine [Golden Root Life Fire], making it a veritable money-printing machine.

However, at this very moment, it is filled with the vast and boundless [Azure Wing Life Flame].

This is all the wealth he has accumulated through his cultivation, totaling more than 170,000 strands.

And these precious [Life Flames] will all become resources for his advancement!

Without hesitation, Jing Qian summoned the [Sage of Sumeru Wielding the Sword to Open the Six Paths of Reincarnation], completely enveloping himself, and then stepped into the [Sumeru Furnace].

He sat calmly amidst the [Life Fire], allowing this terrifying number of [Life Fire] flames to scorch his body.

Meanwhile, his [Saintly Appearance] began to absorb the power of [Life Fire] with extremely high conversion efficiency, increasing his magical cultivation.

Jing Qian's cultivation level of [Life Essence] started at two thousand and increased rapidly, rising by more than five hundred in just a quarter of an hour.

This is the moment he has been waiting for!

After a cultivator obtains a Dharma form, they can use the [Life Fire] to burn the Dharma form, which can fully tap into the Dharma form's potential and increase their magical power.

This is an extremely expensive, yet extremely efficient, method of spiritual practice.

Jing Qian's decision to accumulate Azure Wing Life Flame at the Dragon Elephant realm, to the best of his ability, stemmed from two considerations.

The first approach is to maximize resource utilization by taking advantage of the exchange rate differences between different grades of [Life Fire].

His wealth, if converted into [Azure Wing Life Flame], would yield 170,000 Dao.

However, if it were replaced with [Blue Blood Life Flame], the total amount would be reduced by at least 10%, which is about 15,000.

If we were to replace it with something higher, reducing it by one or two percent each time, and replacing it with [Metal Root Fire], we would probably only have one hundred and twenty or thirty [paths].

One hundred and twenty or thirty [Golden Root Life Fire]s are quite difficult to exchange for ten fourth-grade [Star-Picking Life Fire]s, let alone a single third-grade [Immortal Spirit Fire].

Conversely, the Azure Wing Life Essence accumulated at the Dragon Elephant realm can be converted into Blue Blood Life Essence without significant loss during advancement.

This process of input and output can save a huge amount of resources.

Jing Qian possesses a powerful [Sage Appearance] and an abundant [Azure Wing Life Fire].

Within this [Sumeru Furnace], the advancement of cultivation is a mighty and unstoppable force.

In just one day, his [Azure Wing Life Essence] cultivation level increased more than sevenfold!
Anyone else would have been overwhelmed by this terrifying [Life Essence] cultivation level, but Jing Qian possessed the [Sage Appearance] and had gathered twelve [Heavenly Mandate] powers. In this [Dragon Elephant] realm, there was almost no upper limit to his magical power.

No matter how much [life fire] he poured in, it was like a bottomless pit, absorbing it all and transforming it into an increase in his cultivation. Moreover, the more it burned, the smoother it became, and the faster the transformation speed became.

The next day, Jing Qian's [Azure Wing Life Essence] cultivation level broke through 30,000!

Even he himself never imagined that the [Life Fire] could have such a miraculous effect in tempering the [Sage's Appearance].

This is merely a simple exploration of the terrifying nature of the "saintly appearance".

He closed his eyes and calmed himself, as steadfast and unmoving as a green mountain.

Even though they are both at the [Dragon Elephant] realm, the difference between ordinary rogue cultivators, true lineage inheritors, and Dao disciples is already on a completely different order of magnitude!
Jing Qian, however, is a Daoist who has formed the "appearance of a sage," surpassing most Daoists.

In the midst of this furnace fire, Jing Qian is about to receive the greatest promotion of his life!
Just past the halfway point of the third day, he had absorbed all 170,000+ Azure Wing Life Flames, completely exhausting them.

Just then, the black cat returned, bringing with it the 240,000 Azure Wing Life Flames it had obtained in exchange for the [Nightmare Kiss].

Jing Qian raised his hand, and the 240,000 Azure Wing Life Flames poured down like a waterfall, drenching him.

The [Saintly Appearance] has begun a new round of refining and absorption!

He took off the [Immortal Sword Embryo] from his back, held it in his arms, and continued to connect with the sword embryo with his divine consciousness.

The sword in his hand would occasionally flicker, responding to Jing Qian's refining.

Three more days passed, and the 240,000 [Azure Wing Life Flames] were completely devoured.

The results of his paid cultivation were remarkable. With over 410,000 Azure Wing Life Flames, Jing Qian's Life Essence cultivation increased fortyfold, reaching a full 80,000.

The total of 80,000 Azure Wing Life Essence directly propelled Jing Qian's magical power cultivation to the highest among all generations of Pure Yang Masters, and into the top three among Yan Fu Masters.

This was the culmination of all his accumulated wealth; he had now exhausted all his initial capital and maximized his leverage.

In just six days, he achieved an absolute qualitative change in his cultivation!

Such a potent tonic, like cooking oil over a raging fire, made his magical power appear magnificent, but in reality, it was all superficial and weak, like a mushy, flabby body.

There is absolutely no way to advance to the [Longevity] level through this method. Only by thoroughly consolidating the foundation, refining the magic power, and continuing to hone the [Spiritual Energy] can there be any hope of advancement.

Jing Qian was prepared for this!
He dares to attempt promotion in such an extreme way, which means he must have the means to rebuild his foundation and eliminate the superfluous.

He leaped up from the [Furnace of Sumeru] and landed in the center of the [Void Realm].

Then, the image of "[The Sage of Sumeru Holding a Sword to Open the Six Paths of Reincarnation]" suddenly broke off from his body, manifested as a physical form, and landed in front of him.

This Dharma image is ten zhang tall, shaped like glass, with a faint blue mist emanating from within, like a touch of green in jade.

All of Jing Qian's magical power, those eighty thousand [Azure Wing Life Essence], were carried out of his body by the Dharma Image.

At this moment, his life's cultivation was completely divided into two parts: his physical body became his physical body, and his magical power became his magical form.

Then look at the [Innate Pure Yang Immortal Sword Embryo], which he held in both hands, transforming into a beautiful sword arc that forcefully struck the [Saint's Appearance].

"when!"

The immortal sword and the Dharma body clashed, their sound shaking the entire cave!

The immense recoil caused Jing Qian's arms to fracture and his internal organs to be damaged.

The granulation tissues that had accumulated in his body and mind disintegrated without restraint, transforming into a potent medicine for reshaping his physical form.

But he was completely unaware, and directly turned around and stood up, unleashing another sword arc, like a gazelle hanging by its horns, striking the [Saint's Appearance] again.

"when!"

"when!"

"when!"

Jing Qian was fully committed, his sword could not break through, and he became more and more courageous and faster with each battle!

Each strike is an ultimate test and a thorough tempering for the [Saintly Appearance].

Under immense pressure, the [Sage Image] slowly condenses, its volume gradually compressing.

The magical blue mist contained within it was also being passively compressed, its density increasing all the way up.

Looking at the [Immortal Sword Embryo] in his hand, isn't it also a new kind of tempering?

The [Sage's Appearance] is unbreakable, just like a whetstone, which, through collision, sculpts the [Immortal Sword Embryo] in reverse.

The black jade broadsword transformed into a black dragon in his hand, which circled around the Dharma image and bit it repeatedly.

His cultivation level was completely reshaped in the process.

The instability caused by the surge in magical power was completely eliminated by the repeated heavy blows from the [Immortal Sword Embryo].

The ten-zhang-tall "saintly figure" gradually descended from nine zhang to eight zhang to within three zhang.

The faint blue mist within the Dharma Image's body had become as thick as ink.

Finally, after another heavy sword strike, the [Life-Locking Needle] within Jing Qian's sea of ​​consciousness flickered, transformed into a stream of light, rushed into the [Sage's Image], landed on the Sage's head, and became a hairpin.

This is a sign of the perfect fusion of spiritual inspiration and the appearance of a sage!

At this point, the [Life-Locking Needle] had been perfectly refined and was completely under Jing Qian's control.

He kept slashing with his sword, and then the [Sumeru Furnace] beside him transformed into a beam of fire that rushed into the [Sage's Image] and landed on the Sage's waist, becoming a small bronze furnace pendant.

Another [Spiritual Ability] has been perfectly refined!
Jing Qian had been wielding the first-grade magic sword continuously, and his physical body was already exhausted and he was extremely tired.

But his mind was made up of iron, without the slightest hesitation!

The frequency of the sword strikes in his hand even increased.

Another fierce slash followed, and the height of the [Saintly Appearance] continued to shrink, now less than two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters).

The Qingping Sword Box finally transformed into a sword light, becoming a sword sheath at the saint's waist.

Yan Futian followed closely behind, transforming into a seven-colored halo and merging into the Six Paths of Reincarnation under the Sage's Sword.

At this point, the magical blue mist within the [Saint's Appearance] body had been compressed to its limit, and it was on the verge of liquefying and undergoing a qualitative change at any moment.

But this great tempering seems to have reached its end.

No matter how much Jing Qian swung his sword, the [Sage Image] remained stuck and wouldn't move.

But he was oblivious, only knowing to keep swinging his sword, as if the outside world had nothing to do with him.

Within the [Void Realm], this image of a young man wielding a sword to slay a Dharma image seems to have become an eternal and unchanging symbol of the Great Dao, triggering changes in the aura of the entire cave heaven.

The power of the entire cave was slowly drawn in by the [Immortal Sword Embryo], and began to rotate with the swinging of the sword embryo.

Suddenly, the scabbard on the [Sage Image] trembled violently, and Jing Qian, with another ten years of lifespan remaining, poured in the [Immortal Sword Embryo] in an instant.

The fate of this [Immortal Sword Embryo] has increased again, reaching the number two coins.

Looking at the black jade sword body again, there was actually a sword edge that had suddenly sharpened!

A good sword is forged from sharpening!
Jing Qian was suddenly inspired. His eyes widened, the veins on his arms bulged, and he slashed out with all his might, aiming his sword at the target.

"Drink!"

The sword was sharpened, its power surging, unleashing a most ferocious slash.

It was this very strike that brought about a true qualitative change in Jing Qian's cultivation.

Within the Dharma image, above the sage's brow, the "Three Lives Eye" suddenly opened.

This second-grade [Spiritual Ability] was actually perfectly refined despite the impossible.

Subsequently, the blue mist magic power within the Dharma body suddenly liquefied, transforming into wisps of blue nectar.

The first [Blue Blood Life Essence] was born from the [Sage's Appearance].

After being scorched by the Abyss's [Life Fire] for six days, and then unleashing 30,000 sword strikes in a single day, expending countless resources, Jing Qian finally completed the reconstruction of his foundation and advanced to the seventh rank of [Longevity].

At this point, his magical power had greatly increased, and his cultivation had soared, giving him the ability to sit at Shangxi's table!
