Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 28 Casting
A weapon is something a cultivator can never do without throughout their life. No matter how powerful a cultivator becomes, a handy weapon is something that the vast majority of cultivators must have.

However, most cultivators and lineages have their own understanding of how to forge weapons. Some cultivators forge countless weapons in their lifetime and can be called a Daoist of Many Treasures, while others only have one weapon in their lifetime, which they use to fight their way through the world.

Just like the great emperors of ancient times, some people used immortal gold to refine ultimate weapons and used rare materials to carry their own Dao and Law, while others did not care about materials and used great methods to create divine iron and mortal objects to forge weapons.

Now, Qi Zhe is also forging a weapon, a weapon that will accompany him throughout his life and grow to its peak along with him.

He was determined to use these eight chaotic stone pillars to forge a door that would embody his vision of transcending the world, reflect his inner journey and thoughts, and in the future, also carry his Tao and Dharma.

"My door," Qi Zhe murmured to himself before looking at the boundless sea of ​​fire, then began to think about how to use it to forge artifacts.

Qi Zhe's weapon-refining techniques all came from an old cultivator. They were the only weapon-refining techniques that the old cultivator had occasionally obtained during his travels in the Eastern Wilderness. Now, Qi Zhe is quite familiar with them.

The first problem he faced was quite a headache, because this unique method required cultivators to refine the weapon within their bodies, thus binding it to their lives; otherwise, how could one weapon break through all other methods?

When it comes to drawing fire into the body to refine weapons, if the materials are ordinary, there is naturally no major problem. However, if the materials are too precious and the refining process is very difficult, then the fire source must be extremely strong. Without profound cultivation, it is impossible to suppress the fire source.

If Qi Zhe really wants to refine the Chaos Stone to forge a weapon, then he would have to go deep into the Fire Domain to retrieve the fire source, which is obviously beyond the capabilities of ordinary cultivators.

"We can only try using the magic mirror. It protected us from the cold in the Nether Pool last time, and it should be able to keep us from the fire this time as well."

After much deliberation, Qi Zhe chose a secluded corner, placed the ancient mirror on his head, and stepped into the fire domain. Instantly, towering flames surged toward him.

"Buzz!"

The intense heat from the sea of ​​fire caused the mirror to shimmer, and a hazy divine light then enveloped Qi Zhe. The sea of ​​fire stopped abruptly in front of Qi Zhe, unable to advance any further.

"As expected!" Qi Zhe looked at the sea of ​​fire around him, which made it difficult for him to move forward, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise and delight, secretly marveling at the wonder of the magic mirror.

Qi Zhe turned his head to look into the depths of the fire domain, only to feel that the flames there were like a forest, forming curtains of fire, which was indeed extremely dangerous, but now it seemed that they could hardly stop him.

"I am coming!"

With a shout, Qi Zhe strode into the depths of the fire domain. On the scorched, blackened ground, a line of shallow footprints extended into the depths of the fire domain.

Qi Zhe traveled dozens of miles with the help of the magic mirror, directly reaching the edge of the sixth level of the Fire Domain. The sky was filled with purple flames that surrounded Qi Zhe. If it weren't for the magic mirror continuously emitting divine light, Qi Zhe would never have been able to get here.

"This is terrifying! Even a powerful expert would have difficulty penetrating this level of fire!" Qi Zhe was speechless. The purple flames before him might not be able to harm a powerful expert immediately, but there were simply too many of them, practically limitless.

Moreover, the firepower was suppressing the divine light of the magic mirror, making it quite difficult for Qi Zhe to activate it. He felt that he couldn't hold on for long, and the next level might be beyond his reach.

"Let's try this fire-forging technique first. If it doesn't work, we'll have to make other plans."

Qi Zhe felt quite pressured. This raging fire domain was truly terrifying and not a place to linger. If he wanted to refine weapons, he would probably have to take it slowly, perhaps it would be a protracted battle.

Now he can only try to use the purple fire of the sixth level of the fire domain to forge weapons, since this fire is still hard to find in the human world, and it should be able to melt and forge Chaos Stone.

Qi Zhe pondered for a moment, then sat cross-legged. He took out a Chaos Stone Pillar, intending to see if the purple flame could shake the Chaos Stone and to understand its true power. "Boom!!!"

With a dull thud, Qi Zhe placed the Chaos Stone Pillar on the ground, letting it be scorched by the purple flames. He was also drawing the purple flames into his body, trying to accumulate fire within himself to refine the other Chaos Stone Pillars.

He extended his divine power to restrain the purple fire, but in an instant the purple fire collided with his divine power and began to burn his divine power, emitting a strange, crisp sound.

"chichichi"

The crisp cracking sounds made Qi Zhe's lips twitch. This flame was too fierce; it could even burn a cultivator's divine power. If it entered the body, it could probably ignite the cultivator directly.

"Let's go all the way and do it!"

However, Qi Zhe was currently in the Fire Domain, and if he didn't continue, it would be a waste of his trip. With a determined effort, Qi Zhe used a wisp of purple fire wrapped in a ball of condensed divine power and directly entered his body.

As soon as the purple fire entered his body, it began to burn his divine power and sea of ​​suffering, threatening to dry up Qi Zhe's sea of ​​suffering. Upon seeing this, Qi Zhe quickly suppressed it with all his might. Strange phenomena flickered above his sea of ​​suffering, and an illusory door pressed down on the purple fire.

"I don't believe you can burn away my ascension phenomenon!" Qi Zhe's face turned fierce. Even though the phenomenon was not yet complete, he did not believe it would be destroyed by a ball of flame.

"boom!!!"

The illusory gate to ascension shook the black sea of ​​suffering, causing the ripples to be speckled with white. Then, carrying holy divine will, it pressed down on the purple fire, only slightly blocked before continuing its relentless suppression.

With a "poof," the ball of purple flame was bound by the Gate of Ascension in mid-air and suppressed beneath the illusory Gate of Ascension. The surging flames were even suppressed by the Gate of Ascension.

The phenomenon of the Gate of Ascension was truly astonishing. It actually began to draw power from the flames and grow stronger, causing the purple flame to weaken and show signs of extinguishing.

"It's done!" Qi Zhe exclaimed with delight upon seeing this. Looking at the purple fire suppressed under the door, he knew that this hurdle had been overcome, and all he needed to do next was to continue to strengthen this source of fire.

Qi Zhe then continuously gathered the purple flames, and the chaotic stone pillar in front of him also changed under the surging firepower. Something like water began to flow inside the stone pillar.

"Back to the time of chaos!" Qi Zhe exclaimed excitedly upon seeing this.

There have always been two methods for casting artifacts from chaotic stones. One method is to directly use shaped stones to make stone seals, stone platforms, stone bricks, and other usable objects.

Another method is to refine the Chaos Stone a second time to remove its original shape, using the flowing Chaos Essence to forge objects of special shapes. The stone pillar in front of Qi Zhe is about to return to the Chaos era.

"Since that's the case, I'll begin!" Qi Zhe's expression brightened as he continued collecting the purple fire, ignoring the stone pillar.

Qi Zhe has a total of eight Chaos Stone Pillars, but he wouldn't need that many to forge a weapon. Even if he wanted to forge a door, he would only need three at most, so the materials would be more than sufficient.

At this moment, Qi Zhe looked at the purple fire that had gathered in his body, and directly retrieved three stone pillars from the sea of ​​bitterness. He then moved the stone pillars and began to place them on the flames to undergo refinement.

"Only in the flames can one see the true nature, and so too in chaos!"

Thank you for the votes, dear readers! Could you give me more?
