Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Bao Guang (Seeking Monthly Passes)

"Cough, cough... Although my cultivation is not the highest, my Divine Soul cultivation is the most profound. Who else but I should take this step?"

Zhuge Wufeng stepped forward, shaking his feather fan and a resolute look appeared in his eyes, "That Primordial Spirit Realm, I, too, am very eager to see..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ancestor Wan Hun called out, "Old Man Zhuge, this technique, after all, is only the first attempt; it’s really too dangerous. Perhaps I can bear it for you as well!"

Divine Talisman Venerable and Hua Qi Old Monster heard this and merely let out cold laughter.

If this True Spirit were truly integrated into the Wanxiang Palace and refined into a Spiritual Treasure, it would be equivalent to a different kind of breakthrough into the Primordial Spirit!

Since the chaos in the skies, cultivators of this world had never truly given up on exploring the Primordial Spirit.

And these old monsters, truth be told, each with their Life Span nearing its end, really didn’t mind taking a risk.

Actually, Yang Baixuan was initially very keen on making a blood sacrifice of himself.

Later, it was Zhuge Wufeng from Zhuge Qimen who formed alliances and won over more than half the votes, seizing the position.

"Cough, cough... Have I ever said I regretted?"

Zhuge Wufeng bowed slightly to all sides, "Rest assured, my friends. Haven’t we each sworn by our Dao Hearts and placed numerous restrictions on each other? You need not worry about me breaking my word after success... If the Wanxiang Palace is refined, our six major orthodox sects will immediately merge to establish a new sect, turning the Five Unmatched of the world into the Six Unmatched! And that Spiritual Treasure will naturally be presided over by the six branches in rotation..."

Seeing this, Yang Baixuan could only let out a sigh.

He knew as well that to coax the other five sects to join hands, the last person to perform the Soul Stealing must not be from his sect.

Otherwise, the advantage gained by the Xuanji Hundred Refining Sect would be too great.

In fact, even with the establishment of a new sect, the first to preside over the Spiritual Treasure would not be someone from Zhuge Qimen or Xuanji Hundred Refining Sect but from the Corpse Yin Secret Sect!

This was a compromise and constraint mutually agreed upon by the six major orthodox sects.

Even if they were able to refine this ’Wanxiang Palace’ Spiritual Treasure, when it came to the Xuanji Hundred Refining Sect’s turn to preside over it, five changes would have occurred, pushing it a thousand years to the future.

Although this ’Soul Stealing Technique’ had not been verified and was quite likely to fail.

Moreover, after stealing the spirit and advancing to a Spiritual Treasure, the changes to the cultivator’s True Spirit were unpredictable. They could suffer complete memory loss, their intelligence reduced to that of a three or four-year-old child.

But Zhuge Wufeng was still unwilling to let go of this opportunity because he was the oldest and was about to pass away.

Indeed, any aged Returning Elixir Ancestor would pay any price to obtain this opportunity.

"Our six major orthodox sects, since ancient times, have been branches of the same tree; this united effort shall surely bring swift success!"

Yang Baixuan murmured, suddenly looking up to the sky above the cave.

An ethereal bell sounded suddenly.

"The Refining Sword Conference has begun."

An old monster murmured, and a look of anticipation emerged in everyone’s eyes.

...

Xuanji Hundred Refining Sect, the main gate.

The venue for the Refining Sword Conference was an imposing open-air circular structure. Layers of cloud beds surrounded the Refining Cave, stacking upward, ultimately forming a setting akin to the ancient Roman Colosseum.

The real Fu Yunzi blended among the many cultivators, enjoying himself like a fish in water.

Most Loose Cultivators, looking at the Hundred Refinement Peak where the Refining Cave was located, all had expectant looks on their faces.

But Fu Yunzi knew that among them, the truly destined ones were very few.

In fact, there might not be a single opportunity for them.

After all, a true flying sword is at least comparable to a spiritual treasure, and its value is ten times that of a spiritual treasure!

Such enormous rewards were already enough to attract real geniuses to come!

At the very top of the cloud bed, suddenly, there was a stir.

"It’s Xuan Du Daoist from the Tiandu Sect!"

"Xuan Du Daoist is one of the ’Five Sons of Tiandu’ and is also a rare genius seen only once in hundreds of years. It’s said he’s reached Core Formation, a First-Grade Pill at that!"

"This time he has come, of the finest quality flying swords, surely one belongs to him."

Many Loose Cultivators sighed, beat their chests, and stamped their feet, some also curiously asked, "I wonder if that Li Kunlun, whose talent towers above the rest, has arrived?"

"He is a true Heavenly Pride, and he might not even care about a flying sword. Those flying swords that we, Loose Cultivators, treasure as if they were our lives, to the true disciples of prestigious sects, they are just... so-so."

Fu Yunzi was busy writing down everything when suddenly, he heard two sword cries, like the tearing of silk, coming from the sky.

He looked up and saw two rays of sword light rushing towards them like rainbows, revealing two vibrant Sword Immortals.

One male and one female, the male around twenty years old, dressed in a blue robe, carrying a long sword on his back. The sword had a dragon-shaped hilt and seven sparkling stars on its handle—truly a rare Ancient Divine Weapon!

Ordinary flying swords can be ingested by Cultivators and tempered within their bodies, but Ancient Swords are too sharp for such treatment.

"It’s the Dragon Slayer Sword!"

"Mo Xiaochou with the Dragon Slayer Sword has arrived, he is a high-ranking figure on the Golden Core List!"

"Mo Xiaochou is here, so that woman next to him, could she be one of the ’Seven Swords of Heavenly Mountain’?"

"This woman... she must be Li Qionghua..."

"That’s her, Fourth Grade of Core Formation..."

The last voice was notably more hushed.

But Cultivators all have sharp senses, don’t they? Li Qionghua heard it, and from within her sleeve, sword qi whirled wildly, one ray of light, which was transformed from a flying sword, seemed restless, ready to leap out and slash someone.

"Junior Sister need not concern herself with these matters, wait for your Senior Brother to challenge the Creation Ancestor and avenge you."

Mo Xiaochou, with his hands tucked in his sleeves, said indifferently, "Senior Brother doesn’t need any other flying swords. This time you’ve come, perhaps by chance, you can acquire a few more flying swords. After that, I’ll ask our master to teach you the Sword Array technique. Our sect’s Sword Array technique is incredibly profound, as long as we have enough flying swords in the array, we might be able to contend even with Returning Elixir!"

While the siblings were talking, a group of Cultivators from the Xuanji Hundred Refining Sect had already come forward gleefully to welcome them and escort them to the high seats.

Following these two, several more young Cultivators among the world’s ’Five Ultimate’ arrived.

For instance, Cui Yingxiu from ’Shushan’s Double Stars’, the Carefree Demon from Wuji Demon Sect, the Little Divine Monk from the Great Snow Mountain, and so forth, each with an exceptional root bone, a radiance that stood out, each with a different aura that made ordinary Loose Cultivators feel utterly inferior.

Several more days passed.

Suddenly, throughout Hundred Refinement Peak, a series of bell chimes resounded.

Along with the deep tolling of the bronze bell, layer upon layer of seals on Hundred Refinement Peak opened, and numerous rays of Bao Guang burst forth from various Earth Fire Rooms.

For a moment, the entire Hundred Refinement Peak emitted a brilliance of ten thousand feet, splendid and unparalleled.

"The Refining Treasure Conference has begun, this time still focusing on flying swords, hence these rays of Bao Guang are extremely sharp. A spectacle of ten thousand swords piercing the sky, a majestic sight rarely seen in thousands of years in the Cultivation World..."

Fu Yunzi quickly wrote down each moment, "This Hundred Refinement Peak is also a spiritual treasure, capable of discerning the quality of other treasures. At this moment, the flying swords freshly out of the Refining Cave, with their Bao Guang intensity as the standard, are evident at a glance..."

Just at this time.

In the Earth Fire Room, where Zhong Shenxiu had been secluding himself for three months, he opened his eyes and looked at the sword refining furnace before him. Suddenly smiling, he waved his sleeves and slapped the furnace while chanting, "Thousand hammers, ten thousand strikes to forge the spirit embryo; intense flames burn as if it’s nothing, a hundred days of clever thoughts finally put to use, in the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, the flying sword is born... go forth!"

The Furnace of Eight Trigrams swung open, and a resplendent sword light surged, shooting straight into the sky!
