Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 363 Both Sides' Imaginations
Earth Fire Cave.

In the blazing sea of ​​fire, a black longsword gradually took shape, its blade engraved with strange patterns, visible at a glance.

Cultivators with low cultivation levels often experience a sense of mental disorientation.

"According to the records of the Yin Soul Sect, magic weapons made primarily of Yin Nether Stone have the ability to devour souls and absorb essence and blood."

This is a pure demonic treasure; the more it kills, the stronger it becomes. It's even a demonic blade that will inevitably awaken a spirit, but its drawback is that it will devour its master.

At this moment, Lin Chang'an stood solemnly before the array platform, looking at the magic weapon that had been meticulously crafted over many years.

The Yinming Stone was left behind by the transformed Yinling Beast King from last time. The fact that even a transformed great demon carries it with him shows how important this treasure is.

Furthermore, he added a Yin Spirit Diamond, one of the three terrifying spirit diamonds left behind by the Yin Spirit Beast King last time. The fourth-tier material makes this magic weapon even more capable of growth.

"This demonic artifact, though powerful, has great drawbacks. Its spirit, which grows and awakens through slaughter, is also formed from the resentment of the cultivators and demonic beasts it has slaughtered."

Therefore, cultivators who possess this treasure will gradually be corrupted by resentment and malevolent energy. Over time, they will become irritable and easily angered, making them extremely prone to qi deviation and essentially severing their path to the Nascent Soul stage.

With the records of this treasure flashing through his mind, Lin Chang'an remained calm and showed no worry whatsoever.

Ordinary cultivators would be terrified of being corrupted by the malevolent energy of this demonic artifact, but he, possessing the power of the Xuan Tian, ​​was completely unafraid.

It can even purify pure demonic energy, let alone this low-level evil energy.

"This magic weapon needs to undergo countless killings to increase its power. I am not some bloodthirsty old demon."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an smiled calmly. With a wave of his hand, a jade bottle containing demonic energy appeared. As the jade talisman was removed, an extremely cold, violent, and life-corroding aura emerged in the cave.

The phoenix perched on the hibiscus tree was startled awake upon sensing this aura.

However, upon recognizing its owner, it shook its head and buried its head back in its feathers.

"This unpurified demonic energy is perfect for refining this demonic magic weapon."

As a large amount of demonic energy surged in, the black demonic blade became even more intense in color, if it had previously been a purely yin-attribute magic weapon.

After greedily absorbing so much demonic energy, this demonic blade had already emitted a strong and ominous aura, which even Core Formation cultivators could sense.

"It's done!"

After several days, at the moment when the magic weapon was finally completed, Lin Chang'an smiled.

"The Blood Demon Blade is rumored to be a magical artifact developed by a powerful demonic cultivator in the cultivation world. It is said to have once slain a legendary Nascent Soul cultivator."

As he raised his hand, looking at the Blood Fiend Demon Blade emanating an ominous aura in his palm, Lin Chang'an nodded in satisfaction.

It was pitch black; the so-called blood-written words could only be described as not having been written in blood yet.

The reason he crafted this magical artifact was twofold: firstly, it was extremely powerful and had a natural restraining effect on Yin spirits; secondly, it grew very quickly, requiring little effort from him to nurture it.

Holding the Blood Demon Blade, Lin Chang'an was quite satisfied with the crisp sound produced by lightly flicking the blade with his fingertips.

"It has already reached the power of a high-grade third-tier magic weapon after initial refinement. Due to the materials used, it has extremely high growth potential and may even have the opportunity to grow to the fourth tier."

This treasure was not what he needed; rather, it was his own clone.

His three clones are also a trump card. Sometimes he can't let his main body show up, and some magical treasures naturally can't be easily exposed.

In recent years, in particular, as his clones have secretly cooperated with the Seven Kingdoms Alliance to sell spirit ore, the news has been known to many forces.

Some people wanted to make contact secretly. If they were to come into contact with his clone next time, he would still feel uneasy without some means of self-defense.

Now, one of the three clones is using the Thunder Halberd left behind by the Thunder Dragon, while the other is using this Blood Fiend Demon Blade.

"As for the third clone, there isn't a suitable one yet. We'll talk about it when a suitable one comes along."

With a wave of his hand, the flames on the altar used to forge the magic weapon went out, and Lin Chang'an put the magic weapon away with satisfaction.

Although his external avatar ability is powerful, it is still based on the strength of his own divine consciousness.

As we all know, manipulating magical artifacts requires a cultivator's divine sense. In a high-intensity battle, his limit is that he can control three clones, each controlling one magical artifact.

"The ability of creating an external avatar is different from the second nascent soul, which is an independent consciousness. It is more accurate to say that it is a puppet controlled by one's own consciousness or a magical artifact."

After all, the clone was carried by the immortal leaves of the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine.

After watching its master walk out of the Earth Fire Cave, the Phoenix Bird, curled up on the Fusang Divine Tree, glanced at it with its sleepy eyes and then yawned boredly.

"I really don't know what my master is busy with every day. He's just born to be a workaholic."

As Lin Chang'an emerged from the Earthfire Cave, he sensed the natal spiritual plant within his body and pondered deeply along the way.

"The spiritual plant has grown stronger thanks to the spiritual liquid it has been nourished over the years, but the fourth spiritual leaf has yet to sprout."

"Does this mean we need to nurture the Mysterious Celestial Vine until it grows even stronger?"

Lin Chang'an pondered for a moment, then decided to leave it at that for now, as increasing the intensity of training would affect his cultivation progress.

Given the current situation and his current needs, the key is to focus on cultivation first, and then plan for the Nascent Soul stage.

However, at that moment, a personal communication jade talisman suddenly lit up, and Lin Chang'an's expression changed drastically upon seeing it.

"Sword Servant is in danger!"

Instantly, a murderous aura filled the air. Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Chang'an raised his hand, and the Fusang Divine Tree in the Earth Fire Cave transformed into thirty-six sun-piercing divine swords, which, along with the phoenix, headed towards the cave.

"Owner!"

"Shut up, come with me to kill someone!"

The phoenix was still somewhat puzzled, but Lin Chang'an was as cold as ice. The phoenix, which had never seen its master so angry, was so frightened that it shrank its neck.

Damn it, which blind fool dared to offend their master?

The next moment, the light flashed and disappeared without hesitation from Tianquan Peak, heading straight for the Tongtian Mist Sea.

...A vast expanse of fog reaching the sky.

Amidst the surging waves, the array barrier of a spirit ship was already riddled with cracks.

"Who are you? The Seven Kingdoms Alliance will not let you get away with this!"

"Senior, our Seven Kingdoms Alliance is working for Nascent Soul True Monarch Lu, so please don't go too far in anything!"

Countless cultivators who had been struggling on the spirit ship frantically brought out Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, this time the cultivators who attacked them wore masks, yet they coldly stared at the people on the spirit ship and shouted sharply:
"I don't care about Nascent Soul cultivators or anything like that, you lowly wench! All I know is that you killed my disciple, and I will not spare you today!"

The masked giant roared furiously, pointing directly at Jian Shi, the person in charge of the spirit ship.

"Moo!"

As the Green Horned Ox roared, the Sword Servant, panting heavily, coldly watched the evil cultivators who had come to ambush them.

"A third-tier barrier-breaking talisman; the opponent clearly came prepared."

As for killing disciples or the like, the sword attendant's cold eyes flashed with a chilling light.

Over the years, she had naturally killed some fools, but she didn't believe a word of what the other party said.

"This person is clearly after me. Is he here for the spirit mine? Or is it just a coincidence that he's targeting me?"

After all, the sword attendant harbored a secret, so she couldn't afford to overthink things.

Although she is very different from before, especially after her bloodline has further merged, her most obvious heterochromatic eyes are no longer as dull as before.

Even the aura of magic had changed, but after all, he had been on Bibo Island back then.

Knowing the calamity his spirit would bring to his master, the sword servant felt a surge of intense killing intent.

Regardless of whether the other party recognized her or not, even though her master had said that Lei Pangzi's gang had been wiped out and her identity would not be exposed.

Even if there is only a very small chance, she cannot let this person stay.

"The spirit ship must hide."

Without the slightest hesitation, the sword attendant led the Azure Horned Ox and fled towards the Sky-Reaching Mist Sea, abandoning the spirit ship.

"You lowly servant, don't you dare leave!"

"You thieving cultivator, the cultivators of our Seven Kingdoms Alliance will arrive in person soon!"

The swordsman gave a cold shout, and his two swords flashed with lightning in his palms. He and the Green Horned Ox tore a path through the clouds and quickly left.

However, in the eyes of this masked cultivator, this scene was interpreted as the other party abandoning the spirit ship to create an opportunity for him to escape, and he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

"Unfortunately, what I'm eyeing isn't this spirit ship at all, but you!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the cultivator feigned a vengeful look and chased after the spirit ship, leaving it alone on the sea.

"How to do?"

The cultivators on the ship looked at each other in bewilderment, but some experienced Foundation Establishment cultivators, though unaware of the specific reason, could discern something from it.

"Quickly! Inform the elders! This thief isn't after the spirit ship; he's after our Seven Kingdoms Alliance's spirit mine. He must have discovered our mine."

When heading to the spirit mine area, the spirit ship's formation will be activated throughout the entire journey to conceal its location from the cultivators on its own side.

The exact location of the spirit mine is known only to the Core Formation cultivators of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, thus ensuring its secrecy.

At this moment, the cultivators of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance also became anxious, believing that this tribulation cultivator had his eye on the spirit mines that the Seven Kingdoms Alliance had been mining in recent years.

"Even if we have to use the most precious teleportation talisman, we must let the elders know that someone is eyeing our spirit mine."

Mining spirit mines is extremely profitable. In the cultivation world, it's common for two factions to fight tooth and nail over spirit mines.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators on the spirit ship were all carefully selected by their respective sects. They might not be the strongest, but their loyalty was mostly beyond question.

Therefore, the Foundation Establishment cultivators were also anxious. Now, in the vast Tongtian Mist Sea, they could not distinguish directions and could only take this opportunity to hide.

Then they used the transmission talisman to notify the elders of their respective sects and families.

Due to the information gap, both the Sword Servant and the Seven Kingdoms Alliance imagined the biggest misunderstanding.

The cultivators of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance believe that in recent years, the Seven Kingdoms Alliance has been mining spirit mines, and some people are eyeing it out because of their envy.

The sword servant believed that he might be being targeted, most likely because of the spirit mine, but his own spiritual body held a greater secret.

Therefore, instead of heading towards the waters of Wulong Island, she turned back and directly disappeared into the Tongtian Mist Sea.

Meng, who was wearing a mask, sneered. What did spirit mines matter? These external things were not as important as strength.

He wouldn't mind undergoing a tribulation cultivation as long as it would allow his son to break through to the late stage of Core Formation.

……

Meanwhile, on Bibo Island, Meng Xinghai sat silently in the main hall.

"Xinghai, your father's cultivation is at the late stage of Core Formation. Although he is injured, you don't need to worry too much about his strength. He is just a mere early stage Core Formation cultivator and can't cause any big trouble."

"I'm worried about the Core Formation cultivators of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance."

"Don't worry, with your father's abilities, nothing will happen."

Madam Meng reassured her, she wasn't worried at all. Her husband was in the late stage of Core Formation and possessed a treasure, so how could a mere early stage Core Formation female cultivator not be able to take it down?

Upon hearing this, Meng Xinghai nodded, but for some reason, he had a bad feeling.

　The update is a bit late, please forgive me, fellow cultivators.
