Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Reaction (3200 added, asking for monthly ticket)

Da Jing.

Xuanji Hundred Refining Sect.

Ever since the Refining Sword Conference, the entire Hundred Refinement Sect had been enveloped in a somber atmosphere.

Generations had sold their pots and pans, hoping to crowd-finance the Spirit Treasure Wanxiang Palace... yet they were unsuccessful!

And the suppression of the nine ancient earth lungs poison fire dragon veins was all in vain.

As a result, the Hundred Refinement Sect had no means to refine artifacts anymore.

How could a Hundred Refinement Sect without the capability to refine artifacts still dare to call itself the Ancient Refining True Sect?

In the Earth Fire Cave,

Yang Baixuan was laboriously repairing the damaged Wanxiang Palace treasure.

This treasure, truly worthy of the many contributions crowdfunded to create it, possessed astonishing power and was made of supreme materials.

Despite sustained damage, it still maintained thirty percent of its power and remained the strongest treasure of the Xuanji Hundred Refining Sect.

After all, cultivators in this realm do not understand the secrets of the Primordial Spirit. The continuous failure in refining Ancient Spiritual Treasures was not due to insufficient materials or craftsmanship but entirely due to environmental changes.

And to refine this particular Wanxiang Palace, they had taken a different approach, investing resources that could have produced perhaps ten or eight spiritual treasures in ancient times.

The foundation was incredibly strong, and the materials were exceedingly solid, making this half-completed treasure superior to all other artifacts.

However, it still tragically missed the last step to advance to a Spiritual Treasure.

Otherwise, if this treasure could have successfully advanced to a Spiritual Treasure, its power might have surpassed the current five great Spiritual Treasures!

"Ancient Seven Flames Flag... Tiandu Sect..."

Yang Baixuan looked at the ruined palace of the Wanxiang Palace and the many remnants that seemed scorched by fire, his face revealing a trace of ferocity.

Just then, a Sound Transmission Talisman broke through the air.

He caught it and his face showed displeasure, "Xuan Jizi really doesn’t know better. Haven’t I told him that repairing the Wanxiang Palace is now the greatest priority for our sect? Alas... lacking those nine fire dragons for labor is troublesome, it seems our sect needs to find another location."

Yang Baixuan’s spirit entered the Sound Transmission Talisman, listened for a few moments, and his expression suddenly changed, "This realm... can still produce a Primordial Spirit? The Creation Ancestor... I had once met this person, I truly hadn’t expected..."

By the end of it, his expression transformed, and he emerged from seclusion.

Outside the Earthfire Cave, the Sect Leader of the Hundred Refinement Sect, Xuan Jizi, was already waiting respectfully, "Ancestor..."

Yang Baixuan looked around, suddenly waved his hand, and cast a Returning Elixir Power to shield their senses, then spoke in a lower voice, "Is what you told me... all true?"

"Indeed, the day the Creation Ancestor forged those seven Xuanpo Cold Light Swords, he also said a few words. Upon careful reflection, I might have missed a great opportunity..."

Xuan Jizi truly regretted it!

To think that the six great orthodox sects had painstakingly schemed across generations, all to refine an Ancient Spiritual Treasure.

And even if an Ancient Spiritual Treasure was refined, how could it compare to advancing one’s Primordial Spirit?

What was more heart-wrenching was that the opportunity had been right in front of them—within reach—yet he had been naive and ignorant in those days.

"The Creation Ancestor might have hidden the secret of the Primordial Spirit within the swords he forged, which he gifted to those present at the time..."

Yang Baixuan’s eyes suddenly brightened, "With many people present and eyes abound, there must have been people who saw the recipients of the swords... Tracing them through clues is all that’s needed, but we must hurry!"

Being a little late would mean that the world’s five paragons would take action.

"I fear we cannot outcompete those five paragons of the world..." Xuan Jizi said with a bitter smile, "After all, according to the news from Xu Guo’s side, they might know even earlier than us... But having dominated the world for tens of thousands of years, slackness might have developed in their ranks, giving us a slight chance... Therefore, those six swords outside, we must still fight for them!"

"Six swords?"

Yang Baixuan’s eyes brightened.

"Yes, one of our sect’s disciples also received a sword, but after obtaining the sword, he went into seclusion and has not emerged."

Xuan Jizi led Yang Baixuan to a cave dwelling, "I have already ordered a total lockdown of this place, and the Mountain Protection Array is fully activated..."

"You did well."

Yang Baixuan hastened into the room, his large hands visibly trembling within his sleeves, but inside the practice room, only a patch of black scorched marks was seen.

He suddenly turned his head, a suspicious gaze landing on Xuan Jizi.

Xuan Jizi’s expression remained calm, "Before the Ancestor, only I entered this place. What you see is exactly how it was, unchanged."

"It looks as though this training has gone awry, burning oneself alive?"

Yang Baixuan nodded, not pursuing any further questions.

Because if Xuan Jizi had really obtained the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, he wouldn’t have sought him out; he would most likely have defected from the sect immediately!

The idea of a Sect Leader defecting sounds like a joke, but in reality, it’s anything but.

If one could become a Primordial Spirit, why not be a Loose Cultivator?

Even if it were Yang Baixuan who had obtained the Secret Technique, he wouldn’t want to share it with a second person.

And the actions of Creation Ancestor seemed utterly bizarre.

"I asked in detail. Before retreating, this disciple spent all his assets on purchasing ingredients needed for refining externals pills.... He also announced that he was closing off to refine an external pill."

Xuan Jizi coldly said, "Now it seems... the external pill wasn’t just a cover, after all, this person’s cultivation level was low; he had to refine the external pill first in order to cultivate the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique..."

"The fire energy here has hints of the Great Sun True Flame, the Pure Yang Fire, and the Qianyang Spirit Flame; even I am alarmed. This isn’t just backlash from a failed external pill refinement, it must be a very terrifying secret technique..."

Yang Baixuan’s brows moved slightly, he spoke slowly.

At that moment, he beckoned with his hand, and a piece of stubborn iron flew out from a pile of ashes.

"Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron... this is the Xuanpo Cold Light Sword, it seems it was also refined."

Yang Baixuan sighed, "Even if there are any mysteries left inside... they must all have been destroyed, what a pity!"

Xuan Jizi nodded repeatedly, equally distressed.

What he didn’t know was, even if he obtained this flying sword, he couldn’t acquire that part of the secret technique.

Even if the disciple who obtained the secret technique were still alive, he couldn’t speak of it.

"Fortunately, there are six more of these swords!"

Yang Baixuan said, "We must act immediately. In this vast world, as long as we don’t encounter those few old monsters, we need not fear other cultivators!"

He decided to seize by clever tricks at any cost!

After all, the Xuanji Hundred Refining Sect had its fair share of dirty deeds!

"Good, we’ve already found three of the flying swords, they are located in..."

Xuan Jizi’s spirit lifted, but suddenly he felt a tremor around him.

Boom!

The building shook as if encountering an Earth Dragon Flipping.

The entire Hundred Refinement Sect’s Mountain Protection Array seemed to have been shaken.

This was almost an impossible occurrence!

After all, the six great orthodox sect-level Mountain Protection Arrays, except for those high-level Returning Elixir Old Monsters, were almost unbreakable!

"Not good, could it be that the Five Greats have made the first move?"

Xuan Jizi exclaimed.

Yang Baixuan remained silent, suddenly transforming into a stream of fiery light, soaring into the sky.

At the same time, a tremendous voice echoed in the Xuanji Hundred Refining Sect, "You so-called righteous sects, you killed Uncle Han; today, I will have your entire sect exterminated..."

The voice was very strange, as if three people were speaking at once, overlapping and creating an eerie effect that left listeners thoroughly horrified!
