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

Chapter 251 Lend Me the Essence of Intent to Help Me Refine the Divine Mechanism

Jing Qian was filled with envy!
If he buries this [Sacred Dragon Nest] in the [Sumeru] dimension, it will bring him the benefit of a second-grade dragon in just one month!

Converted to the strict hierarchy of the Kingdom of the Lord, they would all be at least Lv.50 or higher.

Even disregarding the vast resources associated with its flesh, blood, magic power, and soul, simply sending it to the [Mountain of Immortal Qi] yields the equivalent of a whole piece of [Immortal Remains Jade].

Then they can be sold back to the Kingdom of the Lord, and the profits will snowball.

It is indeed a complete legacy, with a [totem] suppressing it!
The abundance of cultivation resources in the Kingdom of the Lord far exceeded the imagination of the lowly people of the Great Abyss.

Good products should be sold to those who appreciate them!
A treasure like the Immortal Jade, a totem-like object, would be completely unrecognizable if sold in the Hunzhou Sea Market. It would be a complete waste of its potential, and it would be a miracle if it sold for a few gold or silver ingots.

Even if one obtains the Heavenly Capital Holy Land of the Boundless Heavenly Dynasty, at most one can only sell a few strands of Immortal Spiritual Energy.

Ideally, it should be sold to a certain [Xuanyuanzi] to truly fetch the price of a second-grade treasure.

However, if placed in the Kingdom of the Lord, this Immortal Jade will become a rare treasure, regarded as a totem-level material!
The price Jing Qian received had already been swindled out of more than 70% of its profit by that scoundrel Lao Qi.

Even so, he was making so much money that he was practically ecstatic and couldn't be happier.

He continued looking down at the price list, and the third treasure caught his eye, making his mind clear!

[Inspiration: Saint Angelminster Cathedral]

[Rank: Second Grade]

[Daily production of 3 Grade 3 Seraphs has a 2% chance of producing 1 Grade 2 Holy Angel.]

Another money-printing machine!

The St. Angels Cathedral produces around ninety Seraphim per month, plus a 2% chance of upgrading to a second-grade St. Angel, guaranteeing at least one second-grade St. Angel!
Moreover, this money-printing machine generates income every day, with a smoother profit curve, making it far more valuable than the [Sacred Dragon Nest].

In this price list, the value of each item increases progressively.

By gradually raising the customer's expectations, you can stimulate their desire to consume and ultimately close the deal.

During Jingqian's cultivation journey, he basically relied on seizing resources and did little buying and selling. He was purely immersed in this consumer trap that was full of happiness.

The fourth and fifth treasures on the list are finally not [troop buildings].

[Holy Lord] *2
[Level: Lv.80 (MAX)]

[Type: Treasure of the Totem]

These two top-quality materials are the truly representative specialties of the Kingdom of the Lord.

Similar to the Immortal Remains Jade in the Great Abyss, it is a Totem-level material originating from the Lord.

However, the totem power contained in a single unit of [Divine Lord] far exceeds the trace of [Immortal] power within the [Immortal Remains Jade].

For practitioners of the Shinto path, such materials are the pillars that lead to the highest realm, and are extremely rare.

For other cultivators, this [Totem] level power is also a useful thing for refining the prototype of [Divine Mechanism].

It is one of the essential materials for refining the [Divine Machine].

Jing Qian continued reading, and finally, on the last item on the price list, he saw what he wanted most:
【Holy Eye】

[Level: Lv.63]

【Type: Outer Moon】

This is the All-Knowing Eye, suitable for a [Transcendent] level [Main God]. Its rank has officially reached the [Transcendent] level, and it can be compared with the [Pure Yang Sword] and [Xuanyuan Sword], which are secret transmissions of the [Dao Ancestor].

If it is refined with the [Holy Power of the Lord], it has the potential to continue its advancement and become a true [Divine Machine].

In Jing Qian's understanding, that would be the essence of power at the level of "Other Shore"!

This kind of top-grade treasure is the best material to reforge the [Eternal Eye of Fleeting Moments], and he has been looking forward to it for a long time.

Thus, Jing Qian sold the 7,500 Immortal Jade pieces he had taken from Gui Mao for an astronomical price.

Twenty-seven million Seraphim, nearly eight times more than the price Jing Qian offered for Ghost Hair!
The remaining two [Troop Buildings], two [Divine Lords], and one [Eye of Omniscience] are his true core gains.

This massive transaction spanning two Great Ruins will grant Jingqian a significant boost before his great battle with the Old Days.

So he rejected the offer without hesitation!

Then, in the comments, they vehemently criticized Lao Qi for exploiting them and calling him a swindler!
Immediately, Jing Qian muted his microphone, telling Lao Qi to reflect on his actions and resubmit his offer, and then ignored him.

The Eighth Brother's behavior, which disregarded both chivalry and business ethics, infuriated the Seventh Brother to the point that he had no choice but to continue cutting down on his enormous cake.

Jing Qian, on the other hand, had a sudden thought and returned to the [Illusory Ruins] to catch up with the fifth brother, [Sword One].

On his second visit to the [Illusory Ruins], he had gained new insights into this world of consciousness.

This is because his soul has been forged into a "Heart Sword," resulting in a fundamental improvement.

In his eyes, five of the seven main statues had disappeared, leaving only the last two.

These two are disciples of [Intention] and [Nothingness], and are stationed as guardians of [Imaginary Ruins].

Following the scent, Jing Qian headed straight for the location of the fifth brother, Jian Yi, kicked open the door, and rushed inside.

He then returned to the void where he had sparred with [Sword One] before.

The sword-wielding boy opposite them looked just like the last time they met.

After meeting him, Jing Qian spoke directly:
"Fifth Brother, I have completed the [Heart Sword] and have come to have it tested by you."

Having said that, he had a thought, and a sword of the mind, as sharp as a needle, slashed towards [Sword One] opposite him.

In the last match, he was a newcomer and not mentally prepared, which led to him being tricked by [Sword One], causing him to choose a side prematurely.

Although the reward of [Sword Heart] given to him was of considerable value, he only truly understood it after the massive deal with Lao Qi.

[Sword One] is equivalent to eliminating four of his important trading channels!
The value of this channel of connecting with the outside world through the [Imagination Society] far surpasses that of a mere [Sword Heart] inheritance.

He was completely ruined by this [Sword One]!
At this point, he had entered the [Heart Sword] sect and also become a disciple of [Intent], thus his status was different.

It is precisely because of this that we need to have a proper discussion with [Sword One] theory.

On the other side, [Sword One] was also quite surprised. This old man had only recently come to this [Imaginary Ruins] and had just obtained the method of the "Intent Sword Book".

Is that how you forge the Heart Sword?

It should be understood that this method of changing one's soul is extremely difficult to begin with, and even more difficult to master.

It requires a spiritual power far exceeding that of ordinary people.

The eighth brother was even more in line with the inheritance of [Yi] than he had imagined.

Facing the opponent's mental sword attack, [Sword One] did not hesitate to counterattack.

He still suppressed his cultivation to the third rank of [Mending Heaven], on par with Jing Qian.

In order to obtain the "Intent Sword Manual" from Jing Qian, he somewhat slacked off during his sparring match with Jing Qian.

Now that the die was cast and there were no more scruples, [Sword One] went all out, determined to get revenge!

Jing Qian suddenly realized that the sword energy that [Sword One] was attacking from the level of the mind was extremely sharp, far surpassing the previous sparring session.

Although he successfully forged the [Heart Sword] and greatly improved his strength, he actually found it more difficult than before.

However, it was precisely this evenly matched clash of swords that aroused his ferocity even more.

Jing Qian frantically squeezed out all his mental energy, unleashing his full mental sword energy.

This clash of minds tests the stability of one's core, the strength of one's spirit, and the abundance of one's thoughts.

With the blessing of [Mount Sumeru] and [Heavenly Dao Scripture], Jing Qian's actions proved entirely true in a short period of time.

He regarded this sparring match as the most important battle after forging the [Heart Sword].

On the other side of him, [Sword One] had been immersed in [Sword Heart] for countless years.

His attacks were sharp and skillful, like an impenetrable net, perfectly covering Jing Qian's sword light.

[Sword One] was not in a hurry to determine the winner.

Normally, he would stay imprisoned in this "Imaginary Ruins," only able to entertain himself.

Now that we've finally met a newcomer with such a great show, of course we should enjoy it for a while longer.

The two fought from dawn till dusk, exchanging countless blows, yet the outcome remained undecided.

In all the years that Jing Qian had been practicing Taoism, he had never encountered anyone at the same level who possessed the same combat power as him.

The disciple of [Intent] before him was the strongest person he had ever encountered.

He fought to his heart's content!

……

Inside a side hall of [Silver Capital], the seventh brother, with a serious expression, remained silent as he carefully considered his options.

He has realized he's been scammed!
He was blinded by the 7,500 [Immortal Remains Jade] that Lao Ba had.

The exchanges within the [Daydreaming Society] cannot be lied about; he was absolutely certain that Lao Ba possessed 7,500 [Immortal Remains Jade]!
They genuinely wanted to make this deal with me.

That's why he dared to ask for an exorbitant price from the [Wealth God System].

Relying on its own credibility, the [Wealth God System] quickly organized the transaction and delivered the price to him ahead of schedule.

This includes a whopping 50 million Seraphim, four Rank 2 Unit Buildings, one Rank 1 Unit Building, ten Holy Tokens of the Lord, and one Eye of All Wisdom (Saint).

In the entire Kingdom of the Lord, only the Wealth Goddess can produce such terrifying wealth.

The seventh brother replaced his own lower-level "All-Seeing Eye (Holy)" with "Saint," and presented the eighth brother with a sincere price quote.

In his mind, as long as he could complete this deal and obtain such a huge amount of resources, he would surely be able to break through the Lv69 barrier and enter the next stage of cultivation.

However, his offer was rejected outright by Lao Ba.

Old Seven was prepared for the other party to haggle, and had already calculated the extra ten million [Seraphim] and one second-grade [Troop Building] he would have to pay.

But then, the eighth brother on the other side shook him and disappeared!
He had been waiting for a long time and had sent countless messages, but there was still no reply.

As time went on, his pressure increased.

After all, the [Wealth Pantheon] had already organized all the transaction considerations and handed them over to him.

He had already bought the goods and was just waiting to pay, but he couldn't come up with the money for a long time.

Now he's like a mouse trying to get into a chimney, blocked at both ends!

Moreover, he finally understood why the people of the [Wealth God System] were in such a hurry to give him money.

This is practically putting him on the hot seat!

The money in this "Wealth God System" is not easy to obtain.

If the transaction goes smoothly, then naturally everyone will be happy.

But if he delays any longer and the other party really initiates the collection process, it won't be something he can simply resolve with a return and refund.

This might cost them their own "divine kingdom"!
With no other option, the seventh brother could only keep changing his offer, giving the eighth brother more and more benefits in order to get his reply as soon as possible.

……

Jing Qian, however, completely forgot about the seventh brother.

He was completely absorbed in his high-quality sparring with [Sword One].

For him, this was an excellent way to continuously hone the quality of his [Heart Sword] and improve his [Sword Heart] cultivation.

After a long and fierce battle, Jing Qian made great progress, but he had new ambitions.

He just opened his mouth and said:
"Fifth brother, I would like to ask you to loosen some of the restrictions on your cultivation so that I can experience the truly irresistible sword of the mind."

He began to put pressure on himself, actively increasing the intensity of the game with [Sword One].

[Sword One] did not refuse. He gradually opened up his cultivation limit and moved towards the second rank.

As a result, the situation that Jing Qian was able to maintain completely collapsed.

Now, for every sword strike [Sword One] makes, Jing Qian has to unleash at least a hundred sword strikes with all his might to completely wear it down.

However, Jian Yi, whose cultivation level is higher, can unleash the sword of the mind ten times more frequently than Jing Qian!

When he truly exerted his power, Jing Qian's soul was completely wiped out in an instant!

Jing Qian, who had spent his entire life killing enemies of higher ranks, was utterly annihilated for the first time by a powerful figure who was only one level above him.

Indeed, people need to go out and see the world more often!

After this battle, he was completely convinced of Jian Yi's combat prowess. He then voluntarily withdrew from the fight and stood before Jian Yi.

After brutally defeating Lao Ba for a while, [Sword One] felt his muscles and bones loosen up and felt quite comfortable.

He then spoke to Jing Qian:
"Eighth Brother, your Heart Sword has a solid foundation and you've refined it very well."

"Go back and improve your cultivation. Once you advance to the [Chronology] level, we'll face off against each other!"

Upon hearing this, Jing Qian shook his head and continued:

"Fifth brother, it wasn't my intention to drag me into fighting those four."

"You're just taking advantage of me because I'm new here and haven't figured out how the [Daydreaming Society] works."

"You have to compensate me, or I'm planning to defect to the other side and bring them back to deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yi's face turned pale.

He has the temperament of a pure sword cultivator; he would rather take action than make a fuss, and he always thinks very directly.

The seventh brother's reaction was unexpected, but he could understand it.

Then [Sword One] said:
What kind of compensation do you want?

"I only have my primordial spirit avatar merged into the [Illusory Ruins], and I don't have anything of value with me."

When Jing Qian saw that Jian Yi had agreed to his request, his eyes lit up, and he said:
"My [Heart Sword] spirit has already advanced to the first rank. If I want to advance further to the [Divine Spirit] level, I need the power of [Totem] to cleanse it!"

“You must have some treasures of ‘Intent’ that you’ve accumulated. Give me some to forge a sword.”

"Once I've forged the Heart Sword into the Divine Machine, I'll go with you to fight the enemy!"

Upon hearing this, [Sword One] frowned and then said:

"It's not that I'm stingy, but I won't give you [the Essence of Intent]."

"With your current cultivation level, you are not yet able to withstand the influence of this kind of [totem] power."

"My [Sword Heart] lineage takes the soul as its sword."

"With their natural talent and deep foundation, they can easily refine their soul to a level far beyond their cultivation level."

“You are currently only at the [Heaven-Mending] realm, but your [Heart Sword] has already reached the [Time Sequence] level. You are truly exceptionally talented, almost on par with me.”

"However, to reach the level of [Divine Mechanism], one must use the power of [Totem] to thoroughly cleanse the soul."

“Refining the Heart Sword is different from refining other Divine Machines; its essence is your soul.”

"If things go wrong and you can't hold on, the consequences are predictable."

"Once your cultivation reaches the [Time Sequence] level, which is enough to bear the [Element of Intent], I will give it to you without you having to ask."

[Jian Yi] gave his answer from his own perspective, but Jing Qian on the other side did not agree.

He was extremely confident in undergoing the refinement of the [Element of Intent]!
Even if he couldn't master the [Divine Mechanism], he was still confident in refining his soul to the [Transcendent] essence.

He had already considered everything comprehensively!

So, he solemnly said to [Sword One]:
"Fifth brother, I'm not as fragile as you think!"

“You only cultivate the [Sword Heart] style, and you only have one [Heart Sword] on your body. While it is undoubtedly sharp and unparalleled, it is still somewhat weak.”

"Within this world, I possess nine [Sword Dao Spiritual Abilities], all of which are at the [Time Sequence] level!"

"As long as I control the amount and absorb less [Element of Intent] at a time, and rely on the nine [Spiritual Mechanisms] to share its power, there will definitely be no problem!"

"I have reached the limit of progress in my [swordplay techniques]."

"I'm so grateful to you for giving me some [Totem] treasures!"

Upon hearing this, Jian Yi looked at Jing Qian more carefully.

He thought for a moment before saying:

"Since you insist, I will bestow upon you ten [Elements of Intent], and you may try them out."

"If you can really handle it, then we'll talk about it later."

"These resources are from my treasured collection. Consider this a loan, not a free gift!"

"This is your reward for crushing the other side with me!"

"If you go easy on me, you'll have to return some materials of equal value to me!"

Jing Qian was overjoyed and continued:

"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down!"

"Once my [Heart Sword] advances again, I'll come find you and give you a good beating!"

Having said all that, [Sword One] raised his hand and unleashed a pure sword aura that landed on Jing Qian's avatar.

Ten glistening jade beads fell into his arms in quick succession.

[Element of Intent] *10
【Position: Treasure of the Totem】

This treasure is equivalent in value to the "Holy One" status mentioned in Lao Qi's price list.

However, it is more in line with Jingqian's spiritual practice.

Having achieved his goal, he accepted the [Element of Intent] and took his leave.

After he returned to the mortal world with the precious treasure in his possession, he finally had time to deal with the seventh brother who had begun to go mad.

When he finally found Lao Qi's latest quote from the sea of ​​junk messages, he was shocked and almost cursed out loud.

This seventh brother actually swindled so much money from him!
In this latest offer, not only has the number of [Seraphs] increased to 45 million.

There are even two more [troop buildings].

[Inspiration: An Apple A Day]

[Rank: Second Grade]

[One smart golden apple produced every month!]

……

【Crysi Burning】

[From the first rank]

[One wisp of first-grade crystal holy light flame is produced annually!]

In addition, the number of [Holy Lord] has tripled, reaching a total of six!

This generous quote is more than double the value of the quote before Jing Qian's second entry into the "Daydreaming Society".

That seventh brother is a complete scumbag!

However, Jing Qian thought about it again and realized that he had earned two thousand percent of the profits from the [Ghost Hair] Ancestor, which seemed to be on par with that old seventh brother, they were exactly the same kind of people.

Regarding the latest offer, Jingqian decided to accept the offer while it was still good.

After all, we can't really leave no profit at all for the seventh son.

He then sent a message saying:
"Seventh Brother is generous; let's leave this deal as is for now!"

“It is not easy to mine Immortal Jade in the Great Abyss. I am just earning a meager living, so I am a bit demanding.”

"Please bear with me, Seventh Brother!"

On the other hand, although Lao Qi felt that this kid was talking nonsense, at least the other party finally responded and stopped giving him the silent treatment.

Therefore, he quickly reached all the deals with Jing Qiandu.

Only then was this major transaction a true success!
The two began exchanging their items without hesitation.

The power of the [Daydreaming Society] was activated by the two of them.

The core reason why this big deal was able to be completed, besides the active cooperation of the seventh and eighth brothers, was that...

The most important factor is the free shipping service offered by [Kongxianghui].

Without this crucial assistance, the goods the two traded wouldn't even cover the shipping costs.

Jing Qian had only two boxes containing 7,500 Immortal Jade fragments, and he handed them over to Lao Qi.

However, the numerous treasures that the other party threw at him were no joke!
Forty million Seraphim, four top-tier Spirit Machines, an Omniscient Eye of Transcendence, and six treasures of the Totem.

Jing Qian had to suppress all these things on his own.

This was no less than experiencing a fierce war!

He dared not be careless at all and went all out!

First, there were forty million Seraphim with incredibly pure auras, each of them reaching the peak of the third rank!
In fact, this immense power had already exceeded Jing Qian's ability to suppress it.

Even if these Seraphim stood still and let him suppress and kill them, it would still take him a year and a half to deal with them.

Fortunately, he wasn't fighting alone this time!
Of these 40 million Seraphim, he generously cut off 30 million heads and poured them directly into the Jambudvipa Nursery.

[Ghost Hair] didn't have high expectations, but suddenly, an extremely powerful aura suddenly erupted.

In the otherwise tranquil nursery, everything suddenly shattered like oil being boiled over a raging fire.

Looking at the tens of millions of Seraphim densely packed in front of him, which had turned his flowers and plants into a haphazard mess, his emotions immediately soared.

That stroke of the [Immortal Jade] is too straight!
With these divine beings possessing pure and refined divine souls, it won't be long before he successfully condenses the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Avatar].

At that time, he will officially master the ultimate divine power of the [Yambhava Path], and his cultivation and combat power will greatly improve!
……

The other ten million [Seraphim] were almost spread out across the vast, uninhabited space of the [Sumeru] dimension.

These Seraphim couldn't even consume his Six Paths of Reincarnation, so he had to let them roam freely for the time being.

However, he also dispatched his own [Six Paths of Reincarnation Incarnation] to slowly begin the cleanup.

These Seraphim are indeed a great resource for cultivation. Their appearance has greatly enhanced the foundation of the Sumeru dimension.

Compared to the other precious treasures, they are still just scraps.

Jing Qian focused all his attention on suppressing the four [troop-type buildings].

These four extremely special spiritual entities would require a highly advanced divine kingdom to contain and absorb them within the Lord's kingdom.

Fortunately, Jing Qian had the Great Ruins Seed of the [Sumeru] Dimension in hand, which was enough to easily suppress these four [Spiritual Machines].

He unleashed his full magical power, leading four [Spiritual Machines] straight into the [Void Realm].

The cave heaven that he had initially formed was already quite vast, with primordial energy churning within, resembling a liquid state.

Jing Qian entered with four [Spirit Machines] and immediately carved out a large area in the northeast corner of the realm.

【DragHo】, 【Saint Anglminster】, 【An Apple A Day】, and 【Crysi Burning】 took root directly in the land and merged into the 【Virtual Realm】.

With his status as the Emperor of the Great Ruins of Sumeru, Jing Qian manipulated these unique spatial attributes, the "spiritual energy," with remarkable ease.

With this assistance, the [Void Realm]'s origin surged, and it actually broke through from the Cave Heaven to the Realm level.

Moreover, it skipped the lowest level, the [Feather Realm], and transformed into a powerful [Mountain Realm]!
Furthermore, with the landing of the four [Soldier Spirits], the continuous advancement of the [Void Realm] has only just begun.

Having settled all that, Jing Qian finally focused his mind on the [Holy Lord] and the [All-Knowing Eye (Holy)].

This unique divine eye is the strongest [spiritual force] that Jing Qian has ever possessed.

It possesses a complete "Transcendence" status, and only lacks the refinement of the "Holy Lord" to have a very high chance of advancing to "Divine Machine".

Unfortunately, Jing Qian actually possessed six [Holy Paths of the Lord].

He's determined to forge this [Eye of Omniscience]!
However, the Divine Eye [Transcendence] possesses immense power and is imbued with divine abilities, making it impossible for him to handle in a short time.

At this moment, the divine eye darted back and forth within the [Sumeru] dimension, without stopping for a moment.

Jing Qian simply let it run wild and instead focused his mind on his sea of ​​consciousness.

Here, the nine [Sword Dao Spiritual Entities] intertwined, shining brightly!

This is the essence of his cultivation!
At this moment, he already held the ten [Elements of Intent] in his hands.

He has made full preparations and is about to pull off an unprecedented move!

That is, to use one's third-grade cultivation level to withstand the onslaught of the [Totem], to forcibly refine the [Divine Mechanism], in order to pursue a true qualitative leap in combat power!
