Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 222 The Sword of Ten Thousand Streams Returning to the Edge, Complete!
"laugh-!"

Silver Sand was the first to fly into the core flame stream of the fire control array.

In an instant, extreme cold and extreme heat met, producing a loud buzzing sound and white vapor.

Chen Qian's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his powerful divine sense poured out like an invisible hand, suppressing the resistance of the Silver Sand's original spirituality. He guided the power of fire element, refining, recondensing, and nurturing the Silver Sand's spirit bit by bit.

The silver sand gradually transformed into a mass of flowing mercury. Under the tempering of the fire element, it gradually became crystal clear, with its cold light contained within. Some "impurities" were forced out little by little, turning into green smoke and dissipating.

These "impurities" are originally part of the composition of silver sand, but they are not needed by magic treasures and will hinder the spiritual nourishment of spiritual materials.

Therefore, the forging of magical artifacts is irreversible.

After being refined, fused, and nurtured, all spiritual materials are no longer the same substances they were originally.

It took more than half a day just to process the silver sand, and that's because it was the lowest grade and easiest to process among the three main materials.

But this timing already brought Su Yueshang a pleasant surprise.

Because of the extremely high quality of the materials and the uniquely favorable refining conditions, it was able to be completed so quickly.

In a normal refining environment, if the purity of the spiritual materials is relatively low, this time may be several times longer.

After processing the Silver Sand, the next step is the even more advanced Golden Sand.

The same refining purpose, but different requirements for processing methods, flame temperature and the extraction of spiritual materials.

Each material is unique, and the processing methods vary depending on the type of magical artifact being crafted.

Therefore, weapon crafting is one of the fundamental paths to immortality, vast and profound, and unfathomable.

Without a mature refining method, it's virtually impossible to forge a magical artifact at will.

Processing Golden Soul Sand takes more than three times longer than processing Silver Soul Sand.

Geng metal comes last, not because it is the highest grade, but because it is the perfect fusion agent for the first two materials, which is why it needs to be processed last.

Another day passed.

During the refining process, Chen Qian consumed elixirs to replenish his mana and nourish his soul, which enabled him to persevere.

This was even with Su Yueshang's full support.

In addition, the special bonuses from the Fire World also greatly reduced the difficulty of refining.

This also made Chen Qian realize the reality, and he secretly thought it was a close call; his original idea of ​​refining was far too presumptuous.

If Su Yuechang hadn't had the brilliant idea to suggest refining it within the Fire World's restrictions, and instead had instead returned to Qianlong Mountain to refine it as originally planned, there would have been absolutely no hope of success.

Having reached the final stage of fusing the three main materials into one, Chen Qian let out a low shout, formed hand seals, and channeled a series of incantations containing the Daoist principles of the Five Elements into it.

At this moment, the spiritual material suspended in the flames no longer resembled its original form at all, but had transformed into a large mass of golden liquid that was both mysterious and golden, and shimmered with a faint silver glow.

The most crucial moment has arrived. The golden liquid changes form with the incantation, gradually separating and turning into more than a hundred small pieces of golden liquid.

Chen Qian's expression was extremely solemn, his face flushed, and he opened his mouth and spat out a stream of essence blood, which also split into a corresponding number of blood threads and merged with pieces of golden liquid.

The little golden liquids seemed to be awakened, with fine spiritual patterns appearing on their surface, and pure golden essence flowing out like dazzling little golden swords.

"Hold on!"

With a clear shout, Su Yueshang used the Heart-to-Heart Pact to hold Chen Qian's hand and channeled a stream of pure dan yuan qi to help him stabilize his magic power and consciousness.

Chen Qian received a steady stream of powerful support from Su Yueshang, which put his mind at ease.

He cleared his mind of distractions, his Dao Foundation hummed, and the metal-element Dao Platform shone brightly, further enhancing his affinity and control over metal-element materials.

Under his control, the shape of more than a hundred small clumps of golden liquid began to change, gradually evolving into the shape of golden needles with sharp ends!
This is the Hunyuan Ruijin Needle!

A total of 132 pieces.

Yes, as long as there are enough materials and the strength allows, the number of Sharp Gold Needles can be increased.

Ninety-nine is just the minimum requirement; it can be increased to thousands or tens of thousands in the future, as long as you have enough power to control it.

Of course, the more magical artifacts there are, the greater their power, but the more difficult they become to control.

Time passed slowly, and several more hours went by...

Finally, one after another, the extremely sharp, tough, and spiritually extraordinary Jin needles took shape, radiating a power that made even Su Yueshang, a Core Formation cultivator, tremble with fear!

This... is only a semi-finished product.

A tired but joyful smile appeared on Chen Qian's face; this first step had finally been completed.

With this phase over, we can finally take a short break.

Chen Qian's physical body was extremely powerful, and his depleted essence and blood could be quickly regenerated and replenished, and his magical power also recovered quickly.

However, the pressure on the soul from prolonged focus and manipulation of the refining process is considerable, and a short rest and adjustment are essential.

Because not only will numerous auxiliary materials be incorporated later, but the Great Forbidden Zone of Heaven will also need to be imprinted inside the magic weapon, which is the severe test of divine sense control!

Fortunately, he had Su Yueshang's help; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been confident.

In fact, the most fundamental reason is that the forging of the Myriad Streams Returning to the Edge Sword is somewhat beyond Chen Qian's current capabilities.

It turns out that the main and auxiliary materials used to refine this treasure are not actually of such high quality, and the refining method is also much simpler.

However, since the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique starts from the fourth level, Chen Qian used the Wheel of Fate to perform two deductions in order to achieve a perfect match with his own cultivation.

First, the cultivation technique was upgraded from the advanced level to the standard level. The second upgrade was even more groundbreaking, directly jumping to the rare level. Thus, this cultivation technique was like a chicken evolving into a phoenix.

In comparison, apart from the fact that they are of the same lineage in terms of basic cultivation methods and the direction of magical practice, they are completely different in other aspects and can be considered as different cultivation methods.

……

Just as Chen Qian was focused on refining his natal magic weapon, Chen Yunyi, far away in Qianlong Mountain, received a message from the ancestor Chen Ruiang, asking her to come to Hexian Ridge to discuss the family's important plans.

Chen Yunyi understood that this so-called family grand plan was most likely a response to the Wang family of Xuanwu Ridge's relentless probing and suppression.

She has been promoted to Foundation Establishment for several months, and the news has already spread throughout the family.

However, they deliberately downplayed it to the outside world and did not publicize it.

This was to avoid excessively provoking the dominant power in the area—the Wang family of Xuanwu Ridge.

However, how long can such a major change be kept secret?

Unless Chen Yunyi hides away to cultivate and never appears in public.

That's impossible. Chen Qian went to Wanling City, so Qianlong Mountain was left to Chen Yunyi to oversee. How could she stay out of everything?
A month ago, the Fuling River Valley, which was under the control of Qianlong Mountain, was suddenly attacked by bandits.

Chen Yunyi rushed to the rescue under the cover of night, covering four hundred miles in just over a quarter of an hour, and killed several peak Qi Refining stage bandit leaders with three sword strikes!

Immediately, the surrounding forces were in an uproar!
Chen Yunyi's name as the Ice Spirit Sword Immortal began to resound throughout the southwestern edge of the Beast Taming Sect. Recently, Chen Hongbing, the former Ninth Elder of the Chen family, also returned to Crane Immortal Ridge as a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

There are even rumors that the Chen family has another young expert of the Yun generation who has been in seclusion in Wanling City for a month and seems to have already advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Under these circumstances, how could the Wang family possibly remain calm?!
Even though the Wang family has two pseudo-Dan cultivators and eight or nine Foundation Establishment cultivators, they cannot ignore the rising power of the Chen family.

Moreover, it is now urgent to launch a military campaign to reclaim wasteland in the south of the Li Kingdom.

The Hidden Peak Pavilion has issued a decree prohibiting large-scale inter-cultivation clan warfare before and during the initial development phase. Violators will be severely punished as a warning to others.

Therefore, if the Wang family wants to suppress the Chen family, they cannot use drastic measures; they can only cause trouble by seizing resources and spiritual lands.

As long as no one is killed, the Hidden Edge Pavilion will not interfere.

……

After a half-day rest, Chen Qian and Su Yueshang threw themselves back into the great task of refining magical artifacts.

At this moment, Chen Qian had taken out a lot of spiritual materials and placed them in front of him, all of which were auxiliary materials related to the Myriad Streams Returning to the Edge Sword.

Molten Crystal Fire Essence, Primal Spirit Heavy Water, Extreme Cold Frozen Soil, Celestial Star Vine and Star Tear Orchid...

But before smelting the auxiliary materials, Chen Qian must first assist Su Yueshang in upgrading the Bewitching Pipa.

Because the companion spirit flower of the Heavenly Star Vine, the Star Tear Orchid, was discovered by Su Yueshang to have hallucinogenic properties, which perfectly matched her Bewitching Heart Pipa.

Since I'm going to refine the third-tier spider silk tendons into the pipa anyway, I might as well refine them together, which will also make the pipa's illusionary power even stronger.

However, once the Star Tears Orchid is separated from the Star Vine, it will quickly wither and lose its vitality.

Therefore, we can only suspend the forging of the Myriad Streams Returning to the Edge Sword and upgrade the pipa first.

Chen Qian focused his mind and mentally rehearsed the operation he was about to perform.

After feeling that everything was in order, he moved his fingertips slightly, and the spiritual light of the wood-type Dao platform in his dantian flowed. He then cast a life-giving wood-type spell, which he then applied to the Star Tear Orchid.

The fantastical spiritual flower that coexists with the Heavenly Star Vine, seemingly composed of fragments of starlight, was quickly locked and peeled off under Chen Qian's powerful divine sense.

Su Yueshang used her magic to quickly wrap the spirit flower and pull it to the mountain pass. At the same time, the pipa also emitted a large amount of clear light, slowly soaking the star tear orchid.

The pipa itself shimmered with a warm, jade-like light, and Su Yueshang was holding a ball of almost transparent silk thread in her hand—it was the pearl silk tendon of a third-tier black jade spider demon, containing powerful resilience and bewitching power.

She first placed the beaded tendon in her hand into the fire world's restriction to roast it. As the tendon began to soften and change color, the space and psychedelic Dao patterns inside the tendon became clearly visible.

With a focused expression, she channeled magical power imbued with the aura of an ancient mirage dragon through her fingertips, carefully guiding the silk threads like an embroiderer threading a needle, weaving them strand by strand into the headstock, tuning pegs, nut, and even the depths of the soundboard of the Bewitching Heart Pipa.

As the silk threads were incorporated into the bewitching pipa, its surface seemed to be shrouded in a distorted halo, emanating an even more elusive aura, and even showing signs of forming an independent realm of illusory sound.

"My lord, help me fuse with the spirit at the last moment!" Su Yueshang whispered, her voice filled with solemnity.

Chen Qian immediately understood.

He unreservedly channeled his surging magical power imbued with the essence of the Five Elements and his boundless innate soul power into Su Yueshang's body, giving her a helping hand.

"Buzz!"

The enchanting pipa emitted a joyful, clear sound, and its brilliance shone brightly!
A dreamlike mirage flashed behind Su Yueshang and disappeared, merging into the body of the pipa. The strings shimmered with light, as if containing infinite space and illusion.

It worked!
Su Yueshang gently stroked the zither, feeling the joy of the tender spiritual instinct within her natal magic weapon, and a beautiful and satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

Her signature magic weapon has reached a new level!

It has officially advanced to the level of a mid-grade magic weapon!

"It's your turn." She looked at Chen Qian, her eyes filled with trust and expectation.

Chen Qian nodded emphatically, his gaze fixed on the undulating mass of Hunyuan Ruijin liquid floating at the core of the forbidden flames.

He took a deep breath, touched the primordial spirit heavy water with his finger, and began the smelting process.

Time flows like a soldier crossing a river, rolling ever forward.

After the Primordial Spirit Heavy Water comes the Celestial Star Vine, the Molten Crystal Fire Marrow, and the Extremely Cold Frozen Soil...

Another ten days or so have passed.

The crafting of the magical artifact has reached its final stage.

Chen Qian's eyes seemed to be filled with billions of starlight. With each of his divine senses, he meticulously controlled a liquid gold needle, tempering it in the forbidden fire, stretching, shaping, and imprinting it with the core restrictions of the magic weapon!
Su Yueshang's face also turned pale as she did her best to assist her wealthy young master.

On her other side was Xiao Yin, who had been conserving her energy for a long time and appeared at the last moment of the Great Restriction of the Heavenly Cycle of the Imprinting Magic Treasure, bringing with her the Small Tai Chi Domain to help Chen Qian.

Although Xiao Yin's original soul power was only two or three tenths of Chen Qian's, with the enhancement of the Yin-Yang domain of the Little Tai Chi, it possessed a resilient and lofty aura.

"Zizzizi..."

The sound of sharp metal cutting through the void was continuous.

Each of the sharp gold needles was changing rapidly, from liquid to solid, and extremely subtle and mysterious primordial Dao patterns began to appear on its surface.

The needle is long and slender, with unparalleled sharpness. Starlight faintly flows at its tail, and the five elements spiritual patterns solidify into the core node of magical power flow, giving the flying needle a unique aesthetic.

This process is extremely costly, far exceeding expectations.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Chen Qian's forehead. Even though he had a profound foundation comparable to the Core Formation stage, he felt heavy pressure at this moment, and his true essence in his Qi Sea and Dan Lake was being rapidly depleted.

However, Su Yueshang's spiritual power flowed into his body like a gentle stream, maintaining the balance of this frantic consumption through the tacit connection established by the two of them during their dual cultivation.

Xiao Yin also desperately channeled extremely high-quality soul power to supply her young master for consumption.

After a long time, when the Zhou Tian restriction was perfectly imprinted on the last sharp metal needle—

"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"

Countless clear, crisp sounds, like dragon roars and sharp, piercing notes, rang out simultaneously!
More than a hundred golden needles, each about an inch long and as thin as a cow's hair, yet containing the sharpness to cut through all things, floated uncertainly in the Five Elements Forbidden Fire. A terrifying killing intent soared into the sky, causing even the entire Fire World to pause!
The most time-consuming and laborious step, shaping and engraving the restrictions, is finally complete!
The magic weapon is complete, and its power manifests!
Chen Qian's eyes shone brightly. He suddenly clasped his hands together, forming an incredibly complex hand seal, and his deep shout echoed with the power of the Great Dao:

"Sharp metal edge, unified primordial energy! Condense the sword!"

As if hearing the ultimate command, the 132 Hunyuan Sharp Gold Needles instantly transformed into golden streams of light, like birds returning to the forest and rivers flowing into the sea, converging in an extremely mysterious trajectory!

A blinding golden light erupted, shaking the entire world of fire to the point that it seemed about to be extinguished.

At this moment, it was as if the restrictions on fire had been lifted.

At the center of the light was a pale gold longsword with an ancient and simple shape! The sword was long and slender, neither gold nor jade, and its entire body was covered with countless fine mixed Dao patterns of the five elements, naturally flowing with five colors of light: gold, blue, silver, red and yellow.

Although it is just quietly suspended in the air, it seems to give people a sense of being all-pervasive and ethereal like water, but it also seems to contain an unparalleled divine sharpness that can split the heavens and the earth and is indestructible!

Chen Qianneng could clearly feel its close connection to him, as if it were an extension of his limbs and a manifestation of his will.

Is this what it feels like to have your natal magic weapon?
