#1075 - Yuanshi Sword Formation Upgrade
Flying Immortal Valley is the most well-known sacred ground in the Lower Three Heavens, including the Central Heaven Immortal Realm.
Only Immortal Dao experts who guard the borderlands, possess substantial military merits, and whose cultivation has reached the edge of a breakthrough are qualified to enter.
Cultivating there not only greatly increases the success rate of breaking through to a higher realm,
but also assists in comprehending the Great Dao.
Breaking through in Flying Immortal Valley allows one's Dao foundation to become more perfect and complete.
There is also a chance to further improve one's cultivation of the supreme Chaos Great Dao.
The Ancient Sword Immortal's departure to Flying Immortal Valley naturally signifies that his current realm has reached perfection.
He is about to begin breaking through to a higher realm.
And he had already cultivated to the level of a quasi-Immortal Emperor.
If he goes one step further...
"Immortal Emperor Realm... the Ancient Sword Immortal is about to become an Immortal Emperor!"
The voices of the two Wan Gu Auction House elders trembled slightly, their hearts filled with shock.
Nangong Yang nodded slightly: "Now you understand why I attach so much importance to that Young Palace Master Changqing, right?"
The two elders nodded frantically.
Throughout the entire Central Heaven Immortal Realm, apart from the Central Heaven Immortal Emperor,
there are only five Immortal Emperor lineages and five Immortal Emperor Realm existences.
And among these five, the one with the highest cultivation is only in the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Although they are transcendent, they are still a step behind the Central Heaven Immortal Emperor.
They still have to honestly submit and become vassals.
But the Ancient Sword Immortal is different.
With his talent and the terrifying battle record he achieved in the quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm,
if he becomes an Immortal Emperor, given time, he will definitely grow into an existence comparable to the Central Heaven Immortal Emperor.
And Gu Changqing will then become a figure comparable to the Central Heaven Immortal Emperor's嫡长子 [Directly Descended Eldest Son] [Azure Qilin Crown Prince].
Looking at the entire Central Heaven Immortal Realm, no one will dare to provoke him!
If we don't invest and befriend such a person in advance, when else should we wait?
...
Gu Changqing was unaware of the conversation in the Auction House's Elder Pavilion.
However, as the auction came to an end,
Gu Changqing saw the [Divine Martial Token] delivered to him along with the other treasures he had bid on.
He vaguely guessed that there might be some new developments on his Grandmaster's side.
"Commander Sun Ming, do you know the inside story?"
Gu Changqing couldn't help but look at Sun Ming.
Sun Ming smiled slightly and briefly explained the situation of Flying Immortal Valley before adding:
"Actually, the Palace Master has been planning this matter for many years, but he instructed his subordinates not to tell the Young Palace Master before it was done."
"Firstly, he was afraid that the Young Palace Master would develop arrogance, and secondly, the Palace Master said that he was not 100% sure that he could become an Immortal Emperor."
"If he said it too early and failed to break through, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?"
Listening to Sun Ming's words, Gu Changqing couldn't help but smile wryly.
For other Immortal Dao experts, breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm might involve some risk.
But with his Grandmaster's talent and foundation, the matter of breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm was far from being a risk.
Coupled with the amplification effect of Flying Immortal Valley,
his Grandmaster's breakthrough this time is definitely a certainty!
Gu Changqing was also quite happy for the Ancient Sword Immortal.
However, the time required to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm is quite long.
At least ten years will pass before any new information is received.
Therefore, Gu Changqing did not dwell on it any further.
Taking the Divine Martial Token and the various materials he had purchased, he set off for the Divine Martial Immortal Sect.
Originally, Gu Changqing was planning to take action himself to refine the Primordial Slaughter Array.
But now that he had the Divine Martial Token in hand, Gu Changqing was happy to save himself the trouble.
Although his weapon refinement skills were not bad,
they were only outstanding in the Lower Realm.
In this Central Heaven Immortal Realm, they were somewhat lacking.
Among his peers, he might still be a top-tier talent,
but compared to those weapon refinement masters in the Divine Martial Sect who had been immersed in it for many years and whose cultivation had reached the Supreme Heavenly Lord, quasi-Immortal Emperor, or even Immortal Emperor Realm,
he was far behind.
Moreover, the date of the Nine Great Immortal Academies' assessment was getting closer and closer.
Gu Changqing's energy naturally had to be focused on cultivation.
As the most famous weapon refinement sect in the Central Heaven Immortal Realm, the Immortal Gate of the Divine Martial Sect was also bustling with activity and extremely noisy.
Even though they knew that only those with the Divine Martial Token could enter the sect and request the Divine Martial Sect's great figures to refine Immortal weapons for them,
many Immortal Dao experts were still unwilling to give up.
Holding storage rings and storage bags filled with heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they waited outside the Immortal Gate of the Divine Martial Sect.
They did not expect to invite the elders or sect masters of the Divine Martial Sect to take action.
They only hoped to move the disciples and followers of the Divine Martial Sect with their sincerity.
After all, even a disciple of the Divine Martial Sect was a remarkable weapon refinement master in the outside world.
However, their waiting was mostly in vain.
The Divine Martial Sect's rules were extremely strict, and the standards for accepting disciples were also extremely harsh.
Although the sect rules did not restrict disciples from taking on private work,
the number of disciples in the Divine Martial Sect was too small.
From the sect master and elders to the disciples,
almost every Divine Martial Sect disciple had a considerable number of weapon refinement tasks in hand.
Even waiting for a hundred thousand years might not be enough to find someone with free time!
But even so, these Immortal Dao experts were still unwilling to give up.
Whether in the Lower Realm or the Immortal Realm, geniuses are ultimately in the minority.
Ninety-nine percent of Immortal Dao experts have already exhausted their potential, and it is difficult for their cultivation to improve further.
If they want to improve their combat power and strengthen themselves,
they can only focus on external objects.
And looking at the Central Heaven Immortal Realm, what external object can compare to the natal Immortal weapon crafted by the Divine Martial Sect?
Just as they were waiting anxiously,
"Swish!"
Two divine lights flew out from the Divine Martial Sect.
Two old men wearing the robes of Divine Martial Sect elders appeared in front of the Immortal Gate, in front of the crowd of Immortal Dao experts waiting.
Seeing the appearance of the two elders, the many experts waiting here couldn't help but stir.
"Those are [Fire Refinement Elder] and [Azure Lotus Elder], both famous weapon refinement masters in the Divine Martial Sect! Even Supreme Heavenly Lords who come to seek an audience may not be willing to grant them the honor!"
"Why did these two suddenly come out? Could it be that they are going out to look for weapon refinement materials?"
"Hurry up and ask, if our family can help these two elders solve their problems, maybe we will have a chance to buy a Divine Martial Token in the next ten thousand years!"
Just as these Immortal Dao experts gathered here were excited,
a figure broke through the air from the distant sky.
Gu Changqing, dressed in white, landed gracefully.
Seeing Gu Changqing's young face, although he did not speak,
many Immortal Dao experts waiting here guessed.
"Such a young junior must have a Divine Martial Token in hand to come to the Divine Martial Sect to seek a natal Immortal weapon."
"It's really enviable, I wonder which family's junior is so lucky!"
Many Immortal Dao experts couldn't help but mutter secretly.
Looking at Gu Changqing's eyes, they were quite envious.
But more Immortal Dao experts still focused their attention on the two elders of the Divine Martial Sect.
What about a Divine Martial Token genius?
Compared to the elders of the Divine Martial Sect, these two were obviously more worthy of attention and flattery.
They did not think that these two elders were out to greet Gu Changqing.
Although guests holding the Divine Martial Token were honored guests of the Divine Martial Sect,
in the past, at most, a few deacons would come to greet them.
Moreover, Gu Changqing was so young, how could he be worthy of having two elders come out to greet him?
It was obviously a coincidence...
Before their thoughts could finish turning,
the two great elders, Fire Refinement and Azure Lotus, immediately greeted him.
"Is the visitor Young Palace Master Changqing? We have already received the news from Quasi-Immortal Emperor Nangong that the Young Palace Master is coming, and we have been waiting here for a long time!"
"Young Palace Master, please come in quickly!"
Looking at the polite manner in which the two elders, Fire Refinement and Azure Lotus, treated Gu Changqing,
the countless Immortal Dao experts who were still guessing the purpose of the two elders were all stunned.
Their eyes, as they looked at Gu Changqing, were filled with shock!
Without paying attention to the shock of those Immortal Dao experts,
Gu Changqing directly followed the two elders into the Divine Martial Sect, explaining the requirements and standards for refining the Primordial Slaughter Array in detail.
He also left the four Primordial Slaughter Swords, including the Great Dao Sword, that he had used before in the Divine Martial Sect for them to use as a reference.
Gu Changqing then cupped his hands and bid farewell.
"The Divine Martial Sect is indeed worthy of the name of the number one weapon refinement sect in the Central Heaven Immortal Realm."
If Gu Changqing were to refine these four Primordial Slaughter Swords,
even with complete materials, it would take at least decades to upgrade them to the top-tier Heavenly Lord level.
If he wanted to upgrade them to the Supreme Heavenly Lord level, it would take at least a century.
But the Divine Martial Sect directly stated that
they would send a message to Gu Changqing in at most ten years to come and pick up the four Primordial Slaughter Swords.
It could be completed before the Nine Great Immortal Academies' assessment arrived.
Moreover, in addition to not having to worry about the refinement of the Primordial Slaughter Swords,
Gu Changqing also had an unexpected surprise on this trip to the Divine Martial Sect.
"A Creation Stone that is even higher than the Sky Origin Stone and the Sky Repairing Stone."
"A Supreme Heavenly Lord-level initial-stage Chaos Rare Treasure, [Nine Profound Gold Stone]!"
