Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 778 All Magical Treasures Upgraded (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"I'm under a lot of pressure. I tried several times but couldn't break through the shell, and I even lost some people."

"If you have stabilized your cultivation level, come out of seclusion as soon as possible. We need to discuss a strategy quickly, or things may change!"

The message was sent out two weeks ago.

Li Yunjing frowned slightly.

The situation is indeed developing in the worst possible direction.

The State of Zhao was determined to fight like a cornered beast, but external forces intervened more deeply.

Although Uncle Chiyang is strong, he is indeed no match for the combined forces of the three parties.

"The ascetic monk... Marquis Yanwu..."

Li Yunjing silently recited the two names, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

A peak Nascent Soul cultivator is indeed a formidable foe, but with his greatly increased foundation, he is not without the power to fight back.

However, he did not leave the pass immediately.

If a workman wants to be good, he must first sharpen his weapon.

The upcoming battle will inevitably be a clash between top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators, and may even involve multiple Nascent Soul cultivators.

While one's own cultivation level and supernatural abilities are fundamental, powerful magical treasures are equally crucial.

His existing main magical treasures include: the fourth-tier mid-grade "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword", "Swift Wind Boots", "Five Dragon Wheels", "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal", "Five Poison Divine Needles", "Ten Thousand Poison Banner", and "Ten Thousand Paths Glazed Furnace"; the fifth-tier mid-grade "Yin Yang Treasure Mirror", the fifth-tier low-grade "Purple Gold Gourd", the fourth-tier top-grade "Myriad Manifestations Lotus Lamp", the fourth-tier low-grade "Heavenly Net", the fourth-tier mid-grade "Mysterious Heaven Compass", "Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Heavenly Secret Pendant", "Star Essence Bottle", and the fifth-tier "Bronze Ancient Bell", a total of fifteen magical treasures. He benefited from all of them during his tribulation and gained the capital for advancement.

This time, Li Yunjing is going to help all these magical treasures to be upgraded to a higher level!
He entered the inner space of the "Purple Gold Gourd" directly, where fifteen gleaming magical treasures floated before him. These were the foundation of his survival.

They have been baptized by the lightning tribulation, their essence has been tempered, and they are on the verge of transformation, just one step away from completion.

"Time is of the essence; we must promote you all as quickly as possible!"

Li Yunjing's gaze was resolute.

With a wave of his hand, a vast amount of rare and precious materials he had collected over the years, as well as those he had obtained from the spoils of war from the Zhao state, poured out and piled up like mountains.

"Ten Thousand Year Star Iron", "Five Elements Jade Marrow", "Void Crystal", "Taiyi Refined Gold", "Netherworld Cold Iron", "Dragon Blood Wood", "Phoenix Feather" (imitation), the sinews, bones, and essences of various Nascent Soul level demonic beasts, and countless top-grade spirit stones containing immense spiritual energy...

Numerous rare and precious materials floated in mid-air, radiating brilliant light, their spiritual energy almost tangible.

He first captured the fourth-tier mid-grade "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" that he had cultivated through his own life.

This sword is the core of his offensive strategy.

It contains Li Yunjing's three strongest laws: the "Yin-Yang Great Dao," the "Five Elements Great Dao," and the "Thunder Great Dao."

This treasure must be upgraded!

Especially with the "Breaking Boundary Sword" completely destroyed, Li Yunjing has lost his strongest attack power, which is a huge disadvantage!

This is intolerable!
"With my Nascent Soul Dao Fire as the furnace and the Ten Thousand Laws Thunder Intent as the hammer, I will reshape your body!"

Li Yunjing gave a low shout, and his nascent soul leaped out, spitting out blazing white nascent soul true fire with chaotic colors, which enveloped the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword".

His hands moved swiftly, like butterflies flitting among flowers, forming hand seals to infuse the molten liquid formed from "Ten Thousand Year Star Iron" and "Taiyi Refined Gold" into the sword, enhancing its toughness and sharpness.

At the same time, he transformed the “Thunderous Intent”, “Starry Intent”, “Principle of the Four Symbols”, and even a trace of “Dragon Emperor’s Majesty” that he had comprehended during his seclusion into countless intricate and complex runes. Using his divine sense as a pen and pure magic power as ink, he engraved them into the depths of the sword body stroke by stroke!
"Buzzing..."

The sword trembled violently, emitting a hum that was both pleasurable and painful.

As the five elements shimmered, it incorporated dark thunderous energy, dazzling starlight, the phantom of the four symbols, and a faint dragon-shaped pressure. Its aura steadily increased, and finally it broke through the barrier with a roar, advancing to a fourth-grade superior magic weapon!
The sword light was restrained, yet it appeared even more terrifying, as if a single strike could sever the five elements, cut through yin and yang, break all laws, and summon divine punishment!

Next up are the "Swift Boots".

This treasure has been with Li Yunjing since its lowest level, and he has upgraded it all the way to an almost unbelievable level.

At this moment, Li Yunjing integrated the essence of "Void Crystal" powder and "Golden-Winged Roc" (Nascent Soul level), and inscribed "Spatial Shift" and "Extreme Speed" runes, making him even faster and even able to perform short-distance void flashes, thus advancing to the fourth-tier superior grade.

Li Yunjing then added a drop of "True Dragon Essence Blood" and "Five Elements Jade Marrow" to the "Five Dragon Wheel," completely materializing the five artifact spirit dragon phantoms. Its power increased greatly, and the power of the five elements generating and restraining each other surged immensely as it rotated, thus also reaching the fourth-tier superior grade.

The "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal," as a treasure of thunder magic, can communicate with the sea of ​​consciousness.

This is Li Yunjing's most important magic weapon!

Li Yunjing directly injected the "pure Yin Sha Thunder Source" collected from "Fallen Soul Slope" into it, and inscribed various thunder talismans he had newly comprehended in the "Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin Thunder Scripture" into it, making the thunder it could emit more varied, combining Yin and Yang, and exuding a chilling aura, thus also advancing to the fourth-tier superior grade.

Li Yunjing generously infused the "Five Poison Divine Needles" and "Ten Thousand Poison Banner," two poison-based magical treasures of the "Ten Thousand Poisons Sect," with a large amount of the essence of the poison glands of Nascent Soul poisons and a wisp of "thunder poison" that had been initially refined. This made the Divine Needles even more invisible and intangible, with the deadly poison accompanied by the paralyzing effect of thunder. As the Poison Banner fluttered, poisonous clouds spread and lightning appeared and disappeared, its power terrifying. Both of them were promoted to the fourth-tier superior grade.

The "Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace" is a treasure for alchemy and weapon crafting.

They are equally important!
Li Yunjing integrated the "Earth Core Fire Lotus" and the "Purifying Glazed Flame" to enhance the quality of its fire source, and engraved advanced array patterns of "purification", "decomposition" and "fusion" to make it more efficient and of even higher quality, finally reaching the fourth-order top grade!

After dealing with these fourth-tier magic weapons, Li Yunjing turned his attention to the more powerful fifth-tier magic weapons.

The fifth-grade mid-level "Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror" is extremely mysterious.

Li Yunjing spent a great deal of effort collecting a wisp of "morning sun purple aura" and a wisp of "moonlight essence" and infusing them into the mirror to balance yin and yang.

It also uses the "Void Divine Stone" to enhance the light of its spatial confinement, and inscribes relevant profound runes from the "Mysterious Yin True Explanation" and the "Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin Thunder Scripture" into it. Under its illumination, Yin and Yang are reversed, space is solidified, and it can even reflect some supernatural powers, greatly increasing its power and faintly approaching the fifth-order superior grade!

The fifth-tier low-grade "Purple Gold Gourd" contains a spatial ability and is adept at collecting and refining.

Li Yunjing infused "Innate Geng Metal Qi" and "Nine Heavens Breath Soil" to stabilize and expand its internal space, strengthening its refining power.

The runes on the surface of the gourd became more complex and profound, the suction force was stronger, the refining speed was faster, and it was promoted to a mid-grade fifth rank!

The fourth-tier top-grade "Myriad Lotus Lantern" is a treasure for both defense and illusion.

Li Yunjing merged with the "Pure Bamboo Heart," and the lamp flame transformed into the pure "Heart Lotus Pure Fire." The defensive light shield became more stable and could effectively resist attacks on the soul and invasion of inner demons. Wherever the light shone, all evil could not penetrate it, and he successfully advanced to the fifth-order lower grade!

The fourth-tier low-grade "Heavenly Net" is a treasure captured from the "Heavenly Net Dao Sect," and is a top-tier treasure for trapping enemies in the world.

This item has a special function, so it must be upgraded.

Li Yunjing re-woven the web using "Ten Thousand Year Ice Silkworm Silk" and "Void Demon Spider Silk," incorporating the "Imprisonment Array Pattern" from the "Starfall Secret Manual" and the "Paralyzing Toxin" from the "Heavenly Poison Scripture," making it more resilient and difficult to damage, with added delaying and paralyzing effects, thus advancing it to the middle-grade fourth rank.

The fourth-tier, mid-grade "Mysterious Heaven Compass" is a treasure for deducing heavenly secrets and setting up formations.

Li Yunjing transformed his latest insights into the Dao of Array Formation, especially the Yin-Yang, Four Symbols, Five Elements, and Seven Stars, into array patterns and inscribed them into the array. He also used fragments of the Star Core to enhance his ability to sense the power of the stars, greatly increasing his deduction speed and the power of the array, reaching the fourth-tier superior grade.

The "Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Heavenly Secret Pendant" is a treasure for protecting the body and concealing heavenly secrets.

Li Yunjing took its "yin and yang" essence, also incorporating "morning sun purple qi" and "yin moon radiance", and added a drop of "true dragon blood" and "phoenix true feather" powder, making its protective light shield have the illusion of dragon scales and phoenix feathers, making it more powerful in concealing heavenly secrets, and promoted to the fourth-order top grade.

The "Star Essence Bottle" collects and nurtures the power of stars and spiritual treasures.

Normally, Li Yunjing uses it as a container to hold the "source of life".

At this moment, he inscribed more "Star Gathering Arrays," greatly increasing the efficiency and capacity of its collection and storage of star power, making the bottle more robust and reaching the fourth-tier superior grade.

Finally, there is the mysterious fifth-tier "Bronze Ancient Bell".

This treasure has an extraordinary origin, unparalleled defense, and outstanding sonic attack.

Li Yunjing attempted to incorporate a trace of the "Imperial Dragon Qi" from the "Dragon Emperor Scripture" and the profound meaning of "soul vibration" from the "Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs True Scripture" into the sound of the bell.

They used "copper from the first mountain" to repair the minor damage and reforged the vibrational runes inside the bell.

The entire process was extremely difficult and consumed the most time and materials.

Finally, the ancient bell emitted a deep and desolate hum. Wherever the sound waves passed, ripples spread through the space. Its defensive power became even more astonishing, and the sound of the bell could directly strike the soul and shake the mind. Although its grade had not broken through, its power had undoubtedly reached a new level, and its foundation was even more profound.

When the last magical artifact was completed, most of the mountain of rare and precious materials had been used up.

Li Yunjing's face was pale, and his spiritual energy was greatly depleted, but his eyes were incredibly bright.

The fifteen magical treasures shone brightly, their combined auras illuminating the entire cave world in a dreamlike manner, their powerful pressure suffocating.

At this moment, he was armed to the teeth, and the quality and power of his magical treasures were enough to make any Nascent Soul cultivator envious or even fearful!

Let alone a Nascent Soul Realm True Person, even some Divine Transformation Realm True Monarchs would probably be envious if they saw Li Yunjing with so many magic treasures!

In terms of wealth and status, Li Yunjing surpasses all other immortals!
After upgrading all the magical treasures, all the rare and precious materials on Li Yunjing's body had completely disappeared. Apart from some "sources of life", he didn't even have a single piece of extra divine iron on him!
Of course, he also had some finished magical artifacts, such as spoils of war obtained from enemies, mostly of the third or fourth rank. However, they were useless to him, neither worth keeping nor worth discarding. He could only keep them to reward his disciples or use for trade in the future.

He also had very few talismans, array plates, and pills left on him.

However, even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Li Yunjing wanted to make talismans, set up formations, and refine pills, but he lacked the basic materials. This matter could only be dealt with at a later time.

This is also the current situation for high-level cultivators.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to refine these high-level items, not because of a lack of skill, but because of a lack of high-level resources, making mass production impossible.

Apart from those dangerous places, which place on the entire "Tianlan Star" that produces fourth- and fifth-order natural treasures is not being watched?

One after another, behemoth sects, families, dynasties, and even rogue cultivators have long since occupied these prime locations.

For example, the "Hengyue Mountain Range" of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is a place that can produce fifth-tier materials, but the quantity is not large.

Moreover, this high-level material has an extremely long growth cycle. By the time a single immortal herb matures, several generations might have already passed away.

With everyone watching, it won't be so easy for Li Yunjing to get more.

Li Yunjing then sorted out the "Cave Heaven World" and refined the "Chaos Palace" again, stabilizing it at the level of a high-grade magic weapon before ending his cultivation.

In order to upgrade the "Chaos Palace", Li Yunjing had to dismantle many finished magic weapons before he could barely achieve his goal.

"It's time to come out of seclusion."

Li Yunjing stood up, his aura becoming harmonious and full, his divine light shining within.

The fifteen upgraded magic treasures transformed into streams of light of various colors and entered his body to nourish him. Only the newly upgraded fifth-grade low-rank "Myriad Manifestations Lotus Lamp" hung above his head, casting a soft and clear light to dispel fatigue and stabilize his mind.

He stepped out of the "Purple Gold Gourd" and waved his hand to put it away.

The door to the secluded stone chamber slowly opened, letting in light from the outside world, which in turn brought a clearer and more urgent atmosphere to the situation.

Li Yunjing's divine sense spread out like a tide, instantly covering the entire area under his control.

He could clearly sense that the atmosphere in the camp was heavy, the array was operating at full capacity, and the patrolling cultivators looked tired and vigilant.

In the distance, towards the camp of the Zhao state and its reinforcements, several incredibly powerful auras emanated their oppressive power like torches in the night.

After Li Yunjing emerged from seclusion, he summoned the True Persons of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," as well as Wang Hanyun, Mo Ying, Liu Zhengfeng, Zhang Yan, and the newly surrendered family and sect leaders who had come to surrender.

The atmosphere inside the main hall was solemn.

Thirty Nascent Soul cultivators stood on both sides, their gazes all focused on Li Yunjing, who sat in the main seat.

His aura was as deep as the sea. Although he did not deliberately exude pressure, the majestic Daoist charm that naturally flowed out after experiencing tribulation and the advancement of magic treasures made everyone present feel awe and dare not be negligent in the slightest.

Even if everyone else broke through to the Nascent Soul realm earlier than Li Yunjing!

"Vice Sect Leader Li!"

Everyone greeted him in unison.

"During my seclusion, I ask that you all remain steadfast."

"I now have a general understanding of the situation. The Zhao Kingdom is putting up a stubborn resistance, relying on the 'Great Yan Dynasty' and the 'Mingxin Temple' for defense, and also has strong reinforcements such as Kuji and Yanwuhou."

Li Yunjing nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the entire room, and said in a deep voice, "The war on the western front is at a stalemate, and even Uncle Chiyang is being hampered."

“However, once I leave the pass, this stalemate will surely be broken.”

He paused, then changed the subject: "I have my own plans for the Eastern Front. But there are other concerns that are more pressing than I think."

"What is the current situation of the battle on the western front, towards the 'Yuanyang Dao Sect'?"

He looked at Li Cangqiong, who was in charge of intelligence, and asked, "Has any detailed information been sent?"

"Reporting to Vice Sect Leader Li, the situation on the western front... is probably more critical than on the eastern front."

"Half a month ago, the Crimson-browed True Man of the Yuanyang Dao Sect sent a message seeking help, saying that a large number of cultivators of unknown origin had suddenly appeared in the western border of Zhao Kingdom. Their methods were strange and ruthless, and it was suspected that the Five Poisons Sect of the Southern Frontier and the Demon Flame Valley of the Western Regions had intervened. Their offensive was extremely fierce."

"The Yuanyang Dao Sect was caught off guard and lost three important strongholds in succession. The Crimson Eyebrow True Man himself also seems to have been injured. Now he is struggling to hold on with the help of the Yuanyang Burning Heaven Formation, but the outer perimeter has been gradually eroded and the situation is very precarious."

Li Cangqiong immediately stepped forward and reported with a solemn expression: "'Follow-up...Follow-up, due to the immense pressure on our eastern front, and the apparent disruption of communication, we have not received any definite news from the western front for several days.'"

Upon hearing this, a low murmur of discussion immediately arose within the hall.

The simultaneous crisis on both the eastern and western fronts, with the western front potentially being even more perilous, undoubtedly adds insult to injury.

"The Five Poisons Sect? Demon Flame Valley?"

"The State of Zhao is really willing to spend money; they've invited all sorts of monsters and demons."

A cold glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes. "It seems they are determined to drag us down with them, and even want to bite back."

He pondered for a moment, then made up his mind.

If the western front collapses and the "Yuanyang Daozong" is defeated, then the Zhao state can concentrate its western forces to encircle the eastern front with those external forces, which would be a real catastrophe.

Rescue efforts on the western front are of utmost urgency!
"Everyone!"

"The enemy on the eastern front is holed up and unwilling to come out, intending to delay. If we waste our time with them, we will be playing right into their hands."

Li Yunjing's voice suddenly rose, silencing all the discussion, "If the western front collapses, the entire situation will be in danger! Saving the western front is saving the eastern front, and also saving ourselves!"

"Wang Hanyun, Mo Ying, Liu Zhengfeng, and Zhang Yan, the four of you will depart with me immediately to reinforce the Yuanyang Dao Sect on the western front!"

His gaze was sharp as lightning, and he quickly pointed to the general: "I will send a message to Uncle Chiyang to explain."

The four people who were called immediately stepped forward, bowed, and accepted the order: "Yes, sir!"

They were all top experts among the local Nascent Soul cultivators, and they knew the journey was fraught with danger, but none of them backed down.

After all, the Shenxiao Dao Sect and the Yuanyang Dao Sect have failed and are simply walking away. These traitors will definitely be purged by the Zhao Kingdom.

They'll be doomed then.

These opportunists who have pledged allegiance to the "Yuanyang Dao Sect" and the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" now have no way out and must follow the two major sects down this dark path.

Li Yunjing then looked at Xiao Anran: "Brother Xiao, you will temporarily take charge of the eastern camp. Keep the camp gates tightly closed and hold your ground until I return! If there is any unusual activity, immediately activate the highest alert formation!"

"I will obey Vice Sect Leader Li's decree!"

Xiao Anran solemnly replied.

With everything arranged, Li Yunjing had no further time to waste.

With a wave of his hand, the "Sky Patrol Ship" flashed with a faint light, and a spatial fluctuation enveloped him and the other three.

"go!"

Before the words were finished, the five figures suddenly blurred, and the next moment they tore through the void and disappeared from the eastern camp, leaving only the shocked and expectant gazes of everyone in the hall.

It can travel through the void at extremely high speed.

Li Yunjing fully activated the "Sky Patrol Ship," while the "Mysterious Heaven Compass" hovered in front of him, constantly calculating the orientation, correcting the route, and avoiding possible spatial turbulence and enemy interference.

The western front is quite far from the eastern front; even with the speed of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would take some time to travel there.

During this time, Li Yunjing learned more about the methods and characteristics of the Yuanyang Dao Sect on the western front and the possible "Five Poisons Sect" and "Demon Flame Valley" from Wang Hanyun and others, and constantly deduced countermeasures in his mind.

Several days later, above a scorching hot land, the space rippled slightly, and the figures of Li Yunjing and his four companions suddenly appeared.

The land below was a scene of devastation, with mountains shattered, rivers evaporated, and terrifying traces of deadly poison and demonic fire remaining everywhere.

In the distance, a massive mountain range shrouded in a crimson light shield was faintly visible. The light on the shield flickered violently, clearly enduring a continuous and fierce attack. This was the defensive line of the "Yuanyang Dao Sect"!
Beyond the defensive line, the enemy forces were a dark mass, with demonic energy, poisonous miasma, and demonic fire soaring into the sky. Among them, several auras were particularly powerful, not at all weaker than the peak Nascent Soul stage experts!

It was the monk Kuji and Marquis Yanwu who came to provide support!
"We're late as expected!"

Li Yunjing's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Everyone, follow me and charge in to relieve the siege of the Yuanyang Dao Sect!"

He transformed into a dazzling stream of light, with phantom images of magical treasures appearing and disappearing around him. Like a meteor falling to earth, he rushed straight towards the heavily besieged "Yuan Yang Burning Heaven Formation"!

Wang Hanyun and his three companions were also fearless and followed closely behind, their immense magical power erupting!
Li Yunjing tore through the void directly, carrying an indomitable and resolute momentum. Instead of choosing to detour or hide, he charged straight towards the dark mass of Zhao's army and the outermost area where the allied forces were most concentrated!
"Enemy attack!"

"Stop them!"

The Zhao Kingdom cultivators on the periphery and the strangely dressed disciples of the Five Poisons Sect and Demon Flame Valley were immediately agitated, and various spells, poisonous mists, and demonic fire bombarded Li Yunjing and his group like a torrential rain.

However, Li Yunjing had no intention of avoiding it.

With a slight thought, the "Myriad Lotus Lantern" hanging above his head shone brightly, and the soft yet incredibly strong light shield instantly expanded, enveloping the other four people.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Countless attacks landed on the light shield, but only caused ripples. The "Heart Lotus Pure Fire" swayed slightly, burning away the poisonous mist, neutralizing the demonic fire, and dissolving the spells. How could these ordinary cultivators shake the power of a fifth-grade low-level defensive magic treasure?
"Ants blocking the road are oblivious to their own mortality."

Li Yunjing's eyes were icy cold, and he pointed his fingers like a sword, making a light slash forward.

"Qiang!"

A clear and melodious sword cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword," which had been upgraded to the fourth-tier superior grade, flew out of the ship on its own. The sword body was filled with the two energies of Yin and Yang, surrounded by the radiance of the five elements, leaping with destructive lightning, and was also enhanced by a trace of dragon might and starlight.

The sword light spun only once!
A dazzling sword aura, stretching a thousand feet, swept silently across the dense enemy ranks ahead, like the scythe of death.

laugh……

There was no violent explosion, only a teeth-grinding cutting sound.

Wherever the sword energy passed, whether it was the protective spiritual light erected by Foundation Establishment or Golden Core cultivators, the hastily summoned defensive magic weapons, or even several battle array light screens combined together, they were all easily cleaved in two like a hot knife cutting through butter!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, magical artifacts shattered, and severed limbs fell like raindrops.
