CHAPTER 620: CHAPTER 340 HEAVENLY VENERATE

"Qian Yuan, I think I will switch to cultivating the orthodox Immortal Dao."

Wu Shuang made a decision immediately.

"Your Lifebound Spirit Sword is destroyed now, it’s a perfect time to switch... When the time comes, I’ll use Immortal Gold to reforge a Lifebound Spirit Sword for you."

Li Qian nodded and said.

"You have Immortal Gold?"

Wu Shuang exclaimed in surprise.

She had a small amount of Immortal Gold herself, which was originally prepared for her future breakthrough to Immortality.

Although one could receive an Immortal Gold reward after reaching the Unity Realm Stage and reporting to the Immortal Court, the amount was extremely limited.

Moreover, receiving a reward from the Immortal Court came at a huge cost.

"Of course. Originally, it was meant for your breakthrough to Immortal Golden Immortal... but since you’re planning to switch cultivation, there’s no need anymore. You can just use it to refine a Spiritual Artifact in the future."

Li Qian said with a smile.

The Immortal Gold, including the cactus, was intended for breaking through to Immortal Golden Immortal, but after both he and Wu Shuang switched their cultivation, it was no longer needed.

"It was for my breakthrough to Immortal Golden Immortal?"

Wu Shuang was initially stunned, then her eyes widened in shock, "Qian Yuan, just how much Immortal Gold do you have?"

"About seventy thousand grams."

Li Qian did not hide it, saying with a smile.

"Hiss..."

Wu Shuang gasped upon hearing this.

Such a large amount of Immortal Gold was enough to help a Unity Realm Stage Dao Master break through to the Immortal Golden Immortal realm.

However, she did not pursue where all the Immortal Gold came from.

....

In some mysterious Secret Realm.

The elder council of the Shenxiao Secret Association held another meeting.

"Are you sure it was the Immortal Slaying Sword?"

The masked elder asked gravely.

"We are sure, and Elder Tu Su said it was the Immortal Slaying Sword before he died..."

Elder Mo Ran hurriedly said.

"It was definitely the Immortal Slaying Sword... it was terrifying. Elder Tu Su’s first strike was broken by the Blood God, then he fell to the second strike, unable to escape..."

Elder Ni Que’s voice still tinged with fear.

If that sword had struck her... she certainly wouldn’t have returned.

"The Immortal Slaying Sword, the seventh sword of the Divine Firmament Nine Swords, is an unparalleled sword skill passed down before the destruction of the Immortal Realm, and the Shenxiao Immortal Sect’s sect-defending sword technique. No one has ever mastered the seventh sword..."

The masked elder spoke with a mix of excitement and shock in his voice.

"Everyone, we must report this to the Secret Hall."

He paused for a moment, then made a firm decision, saying with resolve.

This matter was no longer within their capability to handle.

After all, the Immortal Slaying Sword of the Shenxiao Seventh Sword was extraordinary.

Soon, the elders of the Shenxiao Secret Association gathered outside the Secret Hall.

Of course, the so-called Secret Hall was just an ordinary Great Hall that didn’t appear mysterious.

Inside the Great Hall, there were three statues standing.

From their appearance, one was a middle-aged man in a black robe holding a sword, another was an elder with disheveled hair holding a pearl, and the third was an old man with white hair holding a feather fan.

On either side of the three statues, there were several smaller statues.

"Three Heavenly Venerates, we disciples have important matters to report."

The grand elder and others quickly prostrated themselves.

After repeating their words dozens of times, the statue of the middle-aged man in the black robe on the right finally reacted, emanating a faint glow and gradually condensing into an illusory human figure.

"What is it?"

Just two simple words.

Yet it contained an invisible might.

The grand elder and others grew even more reverent.

After all, these were the last three Unity Realm Stage ancient cultivators of the Shenxiao Secret Association... and the three giants of the Secret Hall.

Although there were several Immortal Golden Immortals in the Secret Hall, even they had to yield to these three ancient cultivators before them.

"Reporting to the Heavenly Venerate, the Ten Creations Gate has a Primordial Daoist Master named Qian Yuan who has mastered a method to successfully refine the Foundation Establishment Pill and Foundation Establishment Technique... Recently, Elder Tu Su died under this Qian Yuan’s Immortal Slaying Sword..."

The grand elder quickly explained everything in detail.

"Immortal Slaying Sword, are you sure it’s the Immortal Slaying Sword?"

The illusory figure’s voice carried a hint of surprise.

Clearly, the Heavenly Venerate’s attention was not on the Foundation Establishment Pill and Technique, but rather it was the Immortal Slaying Sword that astonished him more.

"Reporting to the Heavenly Venerate, this was witnessed by Elders Mo Ran and Ni Que themselves."

The grand elder promptly replied.

"Try to re-establish contact with this person and continue cooperation."

The illusory figure said.

"Heavenly Venerate, but, why?"

The grand elder was puzzled.

"You don’t need to know this matter, just do as I say."

After the illusory figure finished speaking, it disappeared.

The grand elder and others looked at each other, but could only follow the Heavenly Venerate’s command.

They speculated that the Heavenly Venerate’s actions surely had a special meaning.

......

Within the Chenzhong Cave Heaven.

A strong cold flame enveloped Wu Shuang, gradually condensing into a mystical lotus platform that lifted her high up.

In less than half a year, her injuries not only fully healed but she went further, completing her transformation, progressing from the Core Formation Realm, to the Melt God Realm, and finally to the Nascent Soul Realm...

Of course, her successful progression was inseparable from Li Qian’s substantial assistance.

Otherwise, merely uniting cultivation and realm would be an insurmountable chasm...

Generally speaking, when a Void Immortal breaks through to an Earth Immortal, transforming to the orthodox Immortal Dao and completing Foundation Establishment is relatively easier. For someone like Wu Shuang, whose cultivation realm had already reached the Transformation and Infant Formation stage of a Daluo Daoist Master, transformation was undoubtedly a significant challenge.

This was also the main reason why Wu Shuang hesitated to make a decision before.

Swoosh!

The lotus platform beneath Wu Shuang gradually dissipated, finally letting her descend from the air, her demeanor greatly changed, appearing more reserved and natural.

This is the result of her cultivation and realm uniting as one.

"How do you feel?"

Li Qian asked with a slight smile.

"Good, very good... I never imagined that ancient cultivation could be this powerful."

Wu Shuang marveled greatly.

Her cultivation realm hadn’t itself improved... yet after completing the fusion, her strength had at least risen a tier.

Next, Li Qian waved his hand, and a Spirit Sword emerged.

Judging purely by its appearance, nothing unusual could be seen.

Yet, in reality, almost half of the materials used for this Spirit Sword were Immortal Gold... and the other materials were top-tier Immortal Gold as well.

Following Li Qian’s ninth-level artifact refining expertise in Divine Edge Refining, this Spirit Sword nearly reached the limits of a Spiritual Artifact.

If in the future Wu Shuang could reach Unity Realm Stage... this Spirit Sword would effortlessly transform into a Dao Artifact.

Swoosh!

The Spirit Sword flew out.

Wu Shuang quickly caught the Spirit Sword, "This Spirit Sword is so strong."

"It will be even stronger once you refine it as your Lifebound Spirit Device."

Li Qian remarked.

"Using Immortal Gold to forge a Spiritual Artifact, truly extravagant."

Wu Shuang gently caressed the Spirit Sword, filled with emotion.

"To serve as your Lifebound Spirit Sword, it’s not too extravagant."

Li Qian chuckled, "Alright, begin refining it quickly, this way you can form combat power sooner."

"Mm."

Wu Shuang nodded, then went into the bamboo hut to begin refining her Lifebound Spirit Sword.

Li Qian left Chenzhong Cave Heaven and went to the Earth Immortal Realm... to continue absorbing Immortal Energy.

The consumption of Immortal Energy was becoming greater, requiring him to spend more time in the Earth Immortal Realm.

.....

In a mysterious space.

A massive cauldron floated in the air, emitting dense smoke, occasionally interspersed with terrifying roars from within the cauldron, causing it to tremble.

Sitting on the lid of the cauldron were three figures.

A middle-aged man in a black robe, with a sword laying across his legs.

An elder with disheveled hair, holding a peculiar bead.

And an old man with white hair, holding a feather fan.

"Yu Heng, better that you go personally and make sure."

The elder with disheveled hair spoke up.

"Alright."

The middle-aged man in black robes nodded.

In the next moment, his body gradually became illusory and finally vanished.

Just as the middle-aged man in black robes, Yu Heng Heavenly Venerate, left, the whole cauldron shook violently, seemingly impossible to suppress.

"We should let it out for a while; it could also attract the attention of the Immortal Court, facilitating Yu Heng’s passage into the Tenth Heaven."

The old man with white hair waved his feather fan and sighed.

In the next moment, both the elder with disheveled hair and the old man with white hair struck the lid at the same time, accompanied by a violent rumble.

The lid of the cauldron slowly rose, terrifying smoke erupted from within, and the roar became clearer and more terrifying, followed by a dreadful figure rushing out from the smoke.

Crash!

This dreadful figure was entirely pitch-black, as if carbonized, and its limbs had become arthropod-like claws, making it look extremely grotesque and terrifying. Yet its head remained human, although its eyes were empty, with only a single vertical eye on its forehead emitting an ominous crimson glow.

And on this dreadful body, a series of illusory chains were binding it, but it couldn’t appear to break free.

Soon, this terrifying presence, shrouded in smoke, disappeared without a trace.

Only the illusory chains extended deep into the void.

The elder with disheveled hair and the old man with white hair exchanged glances, seeing the apprehension and helplessness in each other’s eyes.

This being, once released, could easily spiral out of control.

One had already gotten out of control before, leading to the collapse of a small world.

Although they had seized the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Immortal Court, they had also paid a great cost and suffered losses.

If this second Ghost Immortal were to lose control, it would be extremely troublesome.
