Wanjian Mountain stood quietly, the sword's power was monstrous, and the unbridgeable crack in Jianshan became smaller. The sound of "buzzing" swords came from Wanjian Mountain, and Wanjian Mountain - the weapon spirit was excited. It conveyed its excitement at this moment to Li Mu.
Seeing this, Li Mu smiled slightly and was very satisfied with the effect. Five seventh-order Taoist swords can restore Wanjian Mountain to this state. What if it were a thousand or ten thousand swords! What effect will that have?
Perhaps Wanjianshan can advance to the next level because of this!
Thinking of this, Li Mu felt a surge of pride in his heart. The potential of Wanjian Mountain was far more than that. If thousands of high-level Taoist swords could be gathered as he thought, Wanjian Mountain would not only be able to advance to a higher level. An extreme level Taoist weapon may even transform into a real artifact, possessing the power to change the world and cut through the void.
Li Mu recovered some of his consumed consciousness, adjusted his condition, and immediately continued refining the Dragon Scale Dao Sword.
One hundred and fifty dragon scales can be used to refine almost five dragon scale Tao swords. Fifteen thousand dragon scales are enough to refine three hundred seventh-level dragon scale Tao swords, which is far from the 10,000 dragon scale Tao swords that Li Mu thought of. There are still many gaps.
However, the keel bones and dragon teeth of the demon dragon body are the essence of the eighth-level Mahayana demon dragon. These top-quality refining materials are also suitable for refining the seventh-level dragon tooth sword and the seventh-level dragon bone sword.
The fire of chaos burned blazingly, Li Mu's spiritual thoughts were fully activated, the power of chaos surged, and the three hundred dragon scales quickly liquefied and merged...
This time, Li Mu refined ten seventh-level Tao swords in one go. With the support of the Chaos Sealing Formation, the difficulty of refining one seventh-level Tao sword was greatly reduced by more than 90%. , the seventh-level Dao sword with the same weapon array is completely under control.
As the fire of chaos continued to burn, the dragon scales gradually liquefied, forming a stream of golden liquid. As the fire of chaos continued to burn, the dragon scales gradually liquefied, forming a ball of red-gold liquid.
Under the control of Li Mu's spiritual thoughts, it was divided into ten and gradually condensed to form a Tao sword embryo. The power of chaos surged, guiding the chaotic power of the boundary sealing formation, and began to condense the weapon patterns into ten Tao swords.
Time seemed to have lost its meaning at this moment. Li Mu devoted himself wholeheartedly to the refining of the seventh-level Taoist sword. A seventh-level Taoist sword, a dragon-scale Taoist sword, a dragon-tooth Taoist sword, and a dragon-bone Taoist sword. They were assembled like an assembly line. It is refined and then integrated into Wanjian Mountain.
The damaged, severely damaged fifth-level, sixth-level spiritual swords, and vacant sword positions originally inserted in Wanjian Mountain were gradually replaced by the seventh-level Taoist swords. The sword intent emitted by Wanjian Mountain became more and more fierce, as if it were a sword. The peerless divine sword is being quietly nurtured, causing the chaotic energy in the entire chaotic space to tremble. The cracks in the sword mountain have already been restored to their original state under the erosion of this powerful sword intention.
The body of Wanjian Mountain exudes a rich layer of brilliance, which is the mysterious brilliance intertwined with the sharp sword intent and the power of chaos, making Wanjian Mountain look extremely majestic and inviolable.
……
In the Xuantian Sword Sect, the bell rang, and all the elders and disciples of the sect rushed to the sect square, their faces filled with excitement and awe.
The nine-ring sound of the bell is melodious and full of joy. It is the ringing of the ceremonial bell. Today, it announces the return of the sect leader, the old man Xuantian, who has been missing for hundreds of years, as well as the return of Chen Qingxuan, Feng Wuhen, and Qi Three Dao Lords, Xuan Ming, accompanied him back.
At this moment, the entire sect seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force, and the air was filled with an indescribable solemnity and joy.
In the sky, colorful auspicious clouds gather together, and there are thousands of rays of light, as if the heaven and earth are preparing for this grand event. As a distant and profound aura gradually approached, everyone felt their hearts tremble, as if some ancient and powerful force was slowly coming through the shackles of time and space.
Finally, four figures appeared in everyone's sight. The first one, with flowing white hair and an immortal spirit, was none other than the long-lost leader of the sect - Old Man Xuantian. On his waist, there was a simple and mysterious weapon. The long sword hangs quietly, which is the symbol of Xuantian Sword Sect - Xuantian Sword.
Immediately behind Old Man Xuantian were the three Tao Lords Chen Qingxuan, Feng Wuhen, and Qi Xuanming. Each of them exudes a unique aura. Chen Qingxuan's sword is full of energy, as if it can cut through the void at any time; Feng Wuhen is surrounded by faint wind element fluctuations, making people feel an indescribable lightness and freedom; Qi Xuanming It is majestic and majestic, like a towering mountain, giving people a sense of calmness and reliability.
"Welcome the sect master back! Welcome the three Tao Lords!" The entire sect, whether elders or disciples, bowed their heads respectfully, their voices full of excitement and admiration.
The return of Old Man Xuantian was like a shot in the arm, allowing the disciples of Xuantian Sword Sect to regain their backbone. In the more than five hundred years since his disappearance, the sect has encountered unprecedented difficulties and hardships. The two Dao Lords unfortunately died, the Demon Abyss forces invaded several times, the Southern Wilderness was lost,... all kinds of problems came one after another, the sect's vitality was severely damaged, and it was once in a state of turmoil.
Fortunately, all this has passed. Several sword masters have advanced to the rank of Mahayana Dao Lord. And because Elder Li refined a large number of Dao swords, the sect's strength has increased, and it has successfully controlled the Demon Abyss and the arrogance of the Demon Sects. arrogance.
Now, with the return of the old man Xuantian and the three Tao Lords, the morale of the sect has been greatly boosted. They knew that with the leadership of the sect leader and the three Tao Lords, the Xuantian Sword Sect would be more powerful than before.
"Elder Li, why didn't you come?"
Chen Qingxuan glanced around and did not find Li Mu, so he directly asked Qiu Yuanhong, the master of the contribution hall.
"Elder Li has been in seclusion for some time. Perhaps he is at a critical moment and has not responded to the summons!" Qiu Yuanhong quickly explained.
"Elder Li is in seclusion, so don't disturb him. When he comes out of seclusion, I will communicate with him in person." Elder Xuantian said in a calm tone with a smile.
The welcoming ceremony ended hastily, and the senior officials of the Xuantian Sword Sect gathered in the meeting hall.
In the meeting hall, candlelight was brightly lit and the atmosphere was solemn. Old man Xuantian sat on the main seat, his eyes deep, scanning the sect elders present.
"Everyone, my Xuantian Sword Sect has gone through ups and downs and has been able to last for thousands of years. It has been passed down to this day. I don't know how many ancestors have succeeded us without falling into the sword." Old man Xuantian looked around the crowd and said in a deep voice: "This time, several fellow Taoists and I were arrested. The Nine Nether Demon Emperor has been trapped in the Nine Nether Formation for hundreds of years, and the death of Junior Brother Qinghong is not unrelated to the major conspiracy behind Mo Yuan.”
Hearing this, all the elders looked stern. The fall of Daojun Qinghong was an eternal pain in their hearts.
"It's really rare for you to be able to thwart several invasions by Demon Abyss. There must be a lot of hardships and hardships behind it." Old man Xuantian continued with a hint of emotion in his tone: "Mo Abyss is extremely powerful, and those demon gods invade the spiritual world. The ambition will never be extinguished easily, and we must be fully prepared to prevent it from coming back again.”
"Sect Master, we have been able to defeat the Demonic Abyss several times, and Elder Li is indispensable!"
"Indeed, the Tao sword refined by Elder Li and the array it arranged provided great assistance to us in resisting the forces of the Demonic Abyss."
"If Elder Li can further improve his cultivation, he will definitely be able to play a greater role in resisting the invasion of Demon Abyss."
……
All the elders spoke one after another, with admiration for Li Mu shining in their eyes, describing in detail Li Mu's contribution to the sect during this period to Old Xuantian.
Hearing this, the old man Xuantian stroked his beard and nodded, with a strange look in his eyes. Facing Elder Li, whom he had never met before, he already knew a lot from Chen Qingxuan and the others, and was well aware of his contribution to the sect. , I felt a little regretful that I could not meet Li Mu immediately. Now, the unanimous praise and praise of him by all the elders has made Old Xuantian more interested in Li Mu.
"I already know Elder Li's contribution. He is practicing in seclusion in order to pursue a higher realm and add more foundation to our Xuantian Sword Sect. When he comes out of seclusion, I will definitely put him to good use." Xuantian The old man nodded slightly, approvingly.
After a pause, the old man Xuantian changed his tone and said solemnly: "Right now, the spiritual world is about to usher in a period of spiritual energy exhaustion. The great formation of the sealing world will collapse at any time. The threat of the Demonic Abyss is approaching day by day. Xuantian Sword Sect serves as the guardian of this continent. The mainstay of the world has a great responsibility. In order to cope with the coming crisis, I have made up my mind and decided to open the ancestor altar and contact the ancestor of the upper world to seek his guidance and assistance."
As soon as these words came out, all the elders showed expressions of surprise. The altar of the ancestor is the highest holy place of the sect. It will never be opened easily except when the sect is in danger of life and death. The Xuantian Sword Sect has been inherited for thousands of years and has experienced several dangerous situations of annihilation of the sect. , the Patriarch Altar has not been used so far, which shows that the conditions for its activation are harsh.
"Sect Master, this matter needs to be considered carefully." The master of Tiandi Difficulty Peak said with some hesitation in his tone: "Opening the Patriarch Altar will not only consume a lot of money, but may also lead to unpredictable consequences, and the Patriarch of the Upper Realm Whether they are willing to lend a helping hand is also unknown. ”
"Due to the sealing formation, we have been cut off from the ancestors of the upper world for ten thousand years. Now that we have opened the altar rashly, I am afraid it is difficult to predict their reaction." Another elder added, with a hint of worry in his eyebrows.
"Sect Master, the Moyuan forces have been defeated by us, why not wait patiently and see. There is no conclusion yet on the exhaustion of spiritual energy!" Chen Qingxuan followed up and suggested.
They have been disconnected from the Patriarch of the Upper Realm for so many years. Now it is still unclear whether the Patriarch of the Upper Realm exists. If they are contacted, the Patriarch of the Upper Realm has strict instructions for them. Will they obey it or not?
"Sect Master, be careful!"
……
A group of Taoist monarchs and elders admonished and begged Old Man Xuantian not to open the altar lightly.
Faced with the unanimous advice of all the elders, Old Man Xuantian did not immediately express his position and fell into a brief contemplation.
"How can I not know the concerns of the elders?" Old Man Xuantian spoke slowly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, and said in a deep voice: "But the exhaustion of spiritual energy and the threat of the Demonic Abyss are all indisputable facts. If you just sit back and wait for death, you will only It will put the sect into a place of eternal disaster.”
"As for the ancestors of the upper realm and their sects, although they have been disconnected from us for thousands of years, as the ancestors of the sect, they must also care about our sect. I have no doubt about this. We open the altar not only to seek Assistance, to be more precise, once the sealing formation is disintegrated, we need to unite with the Upper Realm Immortal Sect to jointly defend against foreign enemies and defend the spiritual world," said the old man Xuantian firmly.
"Furthermore, elders, have you ever thought that if we can really contact the ancestors of the upper world and get their guidance and assistance, it will be of immeasurable benefit to the future development of our sect. This will not only resolve a crisis, but also It’s an opportunity for the sect to leap forward.”
After a pause, Old Man Xuantian looked at the elders and reminded them.
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and began to re-examine the situation in front of them, thinking about the profound meaning of the words of the old man Xuantian.
Once the sealing formation is disintegrated, there will be no obstacles to ascending to the upper world. Instead of staying in the spiritual world with exhausted spiritual energy, it is better to give it a try and seek help from the upper world, which may open up a new way out for the sect and disciples.
"What the sect master said makes sense. We really cannot stick to the old ways and wait for death." An elder took the lead to express his position. His eyes flashed with determination and he agreed: "Opening the ancestor altar may be the key to breaking the current predicament."
< br>
"I also agree with the sect leader's decision!" Another elder followed closely and said firmly: "As sect elders, we have the responsibility to consider the sect's future."
Following the statements of these two elders, other elders also expressed their support.
Seeing that everyone had reached a unified opinion, Old Man Xuantian breathed a sigh of relief and showed a happy smile on his face.
"The sect is very pleased that the elders can understand and support this decision." Elder Xuantian couldn't wait to give the order: "Next, make every effort to prepare for the opening ceremony of the Patriarch Altar, which will be officially held in three months."
All the elders nodded one after another and expressed that they would fully cooperate with the arrangements of the old man Xuantian.
While Xuantian Sword Sect, as a whole, was busy with the opening ceremony of the Patriarch's Altar, another scene appeared in the chaotic space of Li Mu's retreat place.
Wanjian Mountain is like a tide of sword intent. A seventh-level Taoist sword containing the ultimate sword intent is like a school of fish, circling and galloping around Wanjian Mountain. They are intertwined with each other, and together they breed a more powerful sword. meaning.
In the refining process again and again, Li Mu's refining skills and refining efficiency have reached a new height, easily refining precious materials such as dragon scales, dragon bones, and dragon teeth into a seventh-level Taoist sword.
Night and day, without stopping.
Along with the dragon scales, the dragon bones were consumed, and the last batch of dragon teeth were also controlled by Li Mu and refined by the fire of chaos. The ten dragon tooth Taoist swords were emitting bright spiritual light, and a Taoist weapon was tattooed on it. Emerged and condensed on the sword body.
The ten dragon-tooth Dao swords suddenly screamed like a dragon's roar, like the roar of an ancient dragon. On the sword body, dragon-shaped spiritual patterns swam, flashing with a sharp sword light that shocked the world.
Twenty-eight weapon patterns were condensed, the Dao sword was refined, and the sword spirit was born!
When the ten Dragon Tooth Dao Swords were completed, Li Mu's mind moved and he threw them one by one to the top of Wanjian Mountain.
In an instant, the entire Wanjian Mountain seemed to be awakened by an invisible force. The originally hovering group of seventh-order Taoist swords seemed to feel the addition of new members, and the sound of swords echoed one after another, resounding through the sky.
With the integration of the ten Dragon Tooth Dao swords, Wanjianshan's sword intent instantly boiled to the extreme, and an unprecedented sharp and domineering aura filled the air, making even the space tremble. These ten swords, like ten kings, lead the other swords and swords to jointly build a sword-intended domain that envelops the entire Wanjian Mountain, making this area a holy land of swords and an ocean of sword-intent.
Fifteen hundred Dao swords, including the ten Dragon Tooth Dao swords, formed a spectacular sword array in the sky above Wanjian Mountain. The sword tips pointed to the sky and the sword tails touched the ground, like a giant dragon made of swords. Winding and circling, it is extremely majestic.
Wanjian Mountain gathered the sword intent of 1,500 Dao swords. The body of Sword Mountain began to undergo an unprecedented transformation. The originally calm and heavy mountain seemed to be given life at this moment. As the sword intent circulated, the surface of the mountain stone actually became faintly visible. There is a flash of sword light, like thousands of sword blades embedded in it, shining brightly.
As the sword intention continues to condense and sublimate, a huge sword-shaped totem slowly emerges on the top of Wanjian Mountain. It is the ultimate embodiment of sword intention and a symbol of the spirit of Wanjian Mountain. Among the totems, the dragon-shaped spirit The patterns and sword patterns are intertwined, forming a shocking picture, as if some divine being is awakening and is about to soar into the sky.
