Chapter 473: Chapter 357 Netherworld Ancestor_1

Mentioning artifact refining naturally filled everyone with exceptional anticipation.

Watching others refine artifacts might be of little interest, but observing the Master do so was different.

Back then, in the Kunlun Immortal Realm, one of the disciples’ most awaited events was to witness the Master refining pills and artifacts.

Even though they were now God Realm powerhouses, it was no exception.

Li Cheng had sealed the Sword Tree before taking it out, and still, its appearance shocked everyone into staring agape!

Yun Tianqiong immediately stood up, his eyes wide as he stared at the Sword Tree, “Such terrifying Sword Dao…”

Housing the Chaos Yuan Sword Body, and now the Chaos Yuan Sword God Body, he was a sword cultivator himself and naturally felt an extraordinary connection to the Sword Tree.

Li Cheng waved his hand, “Wait until it’s refined into a sword, then you can take it to comprehend.”

“Hold on, Master, shouldn’t we go outside to refine the artifact?”

“Yeah, with Master’s methods, if we refine the artifact inside this hall, who knows what state the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism might end up in!”

Li Cheng was astonished—this was the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism, how could he possibly damage it?

But it didn’t particularly matter; going outside was as well, to avoid disturbing the Confucian Sect disciples cultivating here.

After leaving the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism, Li Cheng searched for divine materials and auxiliary ingredients, with the broken bowl being indispensable—it could bear his Laws, and in time, all of his nine Perfect Laws would be integrated into it.

Other divine materials, it seems, were simply not worthy of the Sword Tree.

After pondering for a moment, Li Cheng made a decision. He decided to embed nine Divine Origins into the hilt, to refine the Extinguishing Divine Array hidden within, which, when the time came, would not only unleash an attack at the Divine Emperor level using the power of the Divine Origins but could also activate the Extinguishing Divine Array.

This artifact refining turned out to be far more difficult than Li Cheng had imagined—using his Perfect Rule of Fire to smelt the Sword Tree proved to be extremely challenging!

It took a full year before the Divine Sword was finally forged!

On that day, the entire Confucian Sect seemed to have become a world of swords, with endless Sword Path Rules surging throughout the sect, not only drawing the attention of everyone in the Confucian Sect but also alerting all the sword cultivators in the Divine Realm with that terrifying Sword Dao aura.

But as quickly as the Sword Path Rules surged in, they also dissipated just as quickly, soon completely funneling into the Divine Sword, and the world returned to normal.

At this moment, a sharp sword floated in front of Li Cheng, its hilt resembling a dragon’s head, with nine Divine Origins embedded in it, each shining with a different luster.

The disciples found it difficult to breathe, as if a mere flick of this sword could tear apart space.

Not until Yun Tianqiong bonded with it did the Divine Sword restrain its aura.

Yun Tianqiong couldn’t part with it, and the disciples crowded around, full of envy.

“Store it in your Dantian to temper it, and you can comprehend the Sword Path Rules and nine Laws in it at any time. Master, what is the name of this Divine Sword?” Yun Tianqiong asked.

Li Cheng shook his head and smiled, “You can name it whatever you want! And don’t be envious. I have an unexplored world here. Let’s explore it together. If we find treasures like the Sword Tree, I will naturally help you refine them.”

The disciples’ eyes lit up—an unexplored world?

The Mole was especially excited, “Boss, just leave it to me. I promise to collect all the treasures at the fastest speed!”

“Consider it a leisure pursuit. Don’t use your treasure-hunting ability; exploring slowly is what makes it interesting,” Li Cheng said with a laugh.

The Mole rolled his eyes. Not to use his abilities would be silly, unless he were a fool.

Li Cheng unfolded a corner of the Divine World, “Go ahead!”

That Secret Land was once a part of the Divine Realm, untrodden by sentient beings for trillions of years. The natural treasures that had formed were countless, including hundreds of Level 8 Divine Medicines and even a few Level 9 Divine Medicines—not to mention other Divine Materials.

One after another, people entered, and Li Cheng also went in, leading everyone to explore slowly.

In the beginning few years, everyone was full of enthusiasm. However, with time, they became somewhat disenchanted, even numb.

Because the variety of Divine Medicines here was too plentiful, they had already obtained quite a few from Level 1 to Level 7.

As for Level 8 and 9, they had not yet been found.

“Boss, let me take action! Look, everyone is listless; Divine Medicines below Level 7 hardly pique anyone’s interest anymore,” the Mole said eagerly.

After watching idly for years, he was dying to show off.

The words of the Mole made everyone’s eyes brighten; they had once taken him to an ancient battlefield, where his ability to find treasures had been key.

“Most of the Level 8 and 9 Divine Medicines here have developed Spiritual Wisdom and won’t let anyone find them easily. But with me taking action, there’s nowhere for these Divine Medicines to hide!” the Mole added.

“Indeed, Master, with Elder Tu’s help, we can definitely bag all the Level 8 and 9 Divine Medicines here. If some have developed Spiritual Wisdom, maybe we can figure out a way to subjugate them,” Ling Xi said.

Ling Xi’s Medicine Divine Body had reached completion; the Divine Medicines collected over the years were all refined into pills by her and then distributed among them.

Since coming to the Confucian Sect, Grand Venerable Bai Jie had nearly given all the sect’s Divine Medicines to Ling Xi for Alchemy, providing her with a continuous supply that allowed her cultivation to rise the fastest.

And as she constantly produced pills, the Pill Masters in the Confucian Sect found themselves out of work.

Li Cheng laughed, “These past years were like sightseeing; next, let’s treat it as treasure hunting, focusing on materials for artifact refining, while Divine Medicines are less important.”

The disciples cheered, understanding from Li Cheng’s words—he planned to refine artifacts for them!

The most excited, naturally, was the Mole, who immediately pointed in one direction, “There is a Level 8 Divine Medicine ten thousand miles that way!”
