Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 722 Premonition
After returning to the sect from the Midnight World, Li Qing has been staying in seclusion in the cave.

His previous breakthrough to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul had caused a serious loss of essence in his body. Even after using the bones of two demon kings in the transformation stage to refine their essence and blood, he still had not completely replenished the essence in his body.

After this trip to the Polar Night World, Li Qing obtained a large amount of blood from the Giant Mushroom City from third-level exotic beasts, and only then was he able to replenish his body's essence to its peak.

In the following days, he still did not come out of seclusion, but stayed in the cave to practice quietly.

If you just rely on meditation and seclusion, the improvement of your cultivation will naturally be as slow as a turtle.

With such low efficiency, even if the demonic disaster approaches, Li Qing’s cultivation may not improve at all.

Therefore, Li Qing focused all his energy on other aspects, such as practicing the "Soul Refining Sutra" and perfecting his Taoism.

"To absorb the essence of heaven and earth and nourish one's own essence is to build a foundation."

Li Qing, sitting cross-legged in the cave, chanted the profound scriptures softly, and gradually perfected them.

In this way, he finally completed the deduction of the foundation-building chapter of the Taoist method "Daojie Wuji Jing" he created.

After completing all this, Li Qing let out a long sigh, then closed his eyes and quietly comprehended the martial arts he had created.

He gained a lot from it, and his understanding of the great Dao became deeper, and he became more clear about what path he wanted to take.

"In the future, when the cultivation chapters of the Dao Jie Wu Ji Sutra are more complete, you only need a thought to switch to it. It is much simpler and easier than switching to other superior techniques."

"This is probably the benefit of creating your own technique. As the founder, I have a deeper understanding of this technique."

As he spoke, Li Qing opened his eyes, with a gleam of light in his eyes, a sign of his powerful spirit.

After years of practice, Li Qing has come to understand more and more how important it is to have a strong soul, and how it can bring benefits in all kinds of things.

The most intuitive point is that when the soul is powerful, the deduction will be smoother when creating one's own Taoism, the thoughts will be extremely clear, the thinking will be sharp and clear, and extremely complex tasks can be accomplished.

Therefore, he attached great importance to the practice of "Soul Refining Sutra". During this period of seclusion, he focused almost half of his energy on tempering his own soul.

"It's incredible. I haven't even finished the first level of the Soul Refining Sutra, but my soul has become so powerful."

“Even a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage is probably no more than this, right?”

boom!
Li Qing muttered to himself, and then a very powerful divine thought swept out, easily covering the entire mountain gate.

Everything in the entire Lingyun Sect's mountain gate, no matter how big or small, was under Li Qing's observation with his spiritual sense, not even an ant was missed.

And this is not the limit of his soul. As long as Li Qing wants, he can even extend his consciousness further.

However, if that were the case, the consumption of spiritual power would be quite great. Li Qing quickly withdrew his spiritual thoughts into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The Soul Refining Sutra is divided into five levels in total. Li Qing now has a short way to go before he can complete the first level.

By then, his soul will be even more powerful!

"It is indeed a rare secret book from the upper realm. It can actually increase spiritual consciousness so directly!"

The improvement of his spiritual awareness made Li Qing quite intoxicated. He finally understood what Senior Bailing felt at that time.

At that time, Taoist Master Bailing once told him that because he was too absorbed in practicing the "Soul Refining Sutra", he had forgotten to improve his spiritual power and even forgot all the techniques of cultivating immortals.

When his life was about to end, he finally came to his senses, but by then it was too late.

He eventually passed away in the Beast King Mountain, leaving only a lingering memory in the world. Only after he passed on his legacy did he let go of his obsession and disappear between heaven and earth.

Bai Ling Daojun's experience made Li Qing quite alert, so no matter how immersed he was in the practice of "Soul Refining Sutra", he always had a warning line in his heart.

No matter what, he must not delay the improvement of his own cultivation in order to practice the "Soul Refining Sutra".

In this way, Li Qing spent about two years to complete the first level of "Soul Refining Sutra", and the strength of his soul was improved again!
Although he had no idea how powerful the soul of a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage was, Li Qing felt that he should be no less powerful.

Immediately, Li Qing tried to practice the second level of "Soul Refining Sutra".

The practice of the second level of the Soul Refining Sutra is extremely difficult, far beyond the first level!
If one wants to practice forcefully, it will consume a huge amount of time. Just to study the mysteries and comprehend them thoroughly will take at least a thousand years.

Even though Li Qing now has a long life span and can use refining treasures to extend his life span in the future, he couldn't help but feel a little daunted.

"No wonder, I guess Senior Bai Ling must be trapped on the second floor."

"The years of cultivation are calculated in thousands of years. It's really scary. Even a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage can't withstand such consumption, right?"

Li Qing was extremely shocked by this, but he wisely put down the "Soul Refining Sutra" and his spiritual practice came to a temporary end.

In the outside world, it is no longer a secret that the demon world is about to invade this world.

All cultivators in the entire world of immortal cultivation are actively preparing for this, improving their own strength and increasing their means of preserving their lives.

The consequence of doing this is, naturally, that prices in the world of immortal cultivation continue to rise, reaching an extremely exaggerated level.

However, the results are also obvious. Take Qingling Domain for example. Currently, there are some independent cultivators with outstanding opportunities who have successfully formed a golden elixir!

This was a very rare occurrence in the past and almost impossible to happen.

However, it is actually happening now, and there are more than one example!
Although this is also related to the increasingly improved environment for cultivation in Qingling Territory, it is ultimately due to the impending invasion of the Demon Realm!
It is also worth mentioning that the immortal cultivation families affiliated with Lingyun Sect finally had cultivators in the Jindan stage appear.

Once a cultivator in the Jindan stage appears in a family of immortal cultivators, they can be openly called a thousand-year-old family, which is a real honor for the family.

The so-called Millennium Family does not mean that it has existed for a thousand years, but that it has enjoyed a sufficiently long period of prosperity.

The birth of a cultivator in the Jindan stage will undoubtedly make a family prosperous and glorious for a thousand years, and even after his death, his blessings will bless his descendants for many years.

The continuous emergence of Jindan stage cultivators will not pose any threat to the existence of Lingyun Sect, and the impact may not even be that great.

Because as the demonic disaster approaches, the connections between the great domains are becoming closer than before.
The deeds that Li Qing had done in Fengyuan Domain before finally spread to Qingling Domain.

All the cultivators in Qingling Territory understand that the Lingyun Sect is still unshakable today, only because it has an unfathomable Wuji ancestor in its sect!

This is a real mountain, pressing down on the entire Qingling Domain's cultivation world.

During this period of time, Lingyun Sect was also doing quite well. Surprisingly, another Foundation Establishment Elder successfully entered the Core Formation Stage and became another Supreme Elder in the sect!
This person's name is Jiang Han. He serves as the chief elder in the Alchemy Hall. In the past, he had been in constant competition with Li Yuhuan, who was both Li Qing's nominal disciple and niece.

However, under such healthy competition, the relationship between the two seems to have become closer, and there is a tendency for them to become a Taoist couple.

Li Qing naturally would not interfere with this, and he didn't even ask much. As an elder, he was always very open-minded and would never interfere with the feelings of his juniors.

Besides, Jiang Han has always had a good reputation in the sect. He is also the grand elder of the Alchemy Hall and is very responsible.

Now that he has succeeded in forming the elixir, he is definitely a very good candidate for a Taoist partner.

However, for such a large sect, if there are happy events, there will naturally be sad events. Even a powerful sect like Lingyun Sect cannot avoid it.

Ziyun Peak, inside the cave where Patriarch Ziqing resides.

boom!
An aura of decay spread out, and this aura was extremely unstable, as if it would collapse at any time.

Li Qing, who had a powerful spiritual power, naturally sensed the arrival of this breath at the first moment. He woke up from his retreat and rushed out of the cave at the first moment.

"Ancestor?! Ancestor Ziqing, how are you?"

Li Qing arrived at Ziyun Peak, hovering outside the cave of Patriarch Ziqing, asking with concern.

A faint coughing sound was heard in the cave.

At this time, the weak voice of Ziqing Patriarch slowly came out: "I am fine, but my life span has come to an end, and I will soon pass away."

Hearing this, Li Qing's heart tightened, and then he suppressed his sadness and said: "Ancestor, please remove the restrictions of the cave. There is a longevity medicine in the sect's storehouse that can extend your life!"

"The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce also has longevity items such as longevity, which can delay the passing of life!"

Ancestor Ziqing was an elder whom he respected extremely. Even though Li Qing had now entered the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he had never put on airs in front of him and always regarded himself as a junior.

Now that this elder is about to pass away, he feels deeply saddened.

Soon, the Jindan stage cultivators in other spiritual peaks also came out of retreat and rushed to Ziyun Peak.

"Uncle Ziqing, you."

"Some time ago, the sect obtained several longevity pills made from longevity peaches. Why didn't you take them, Old Ancestor?"

"Ancestor Ziqing, please don't leave. Lingyi can't bear to leave you!"

Many of the current Jindan-stage supreme elders in the sect are his juniors.

There is no need to say much about Shen Ningbing and Wu Chong. Their master is of the same generation as Patriarch Ziqing, so it is reasonable and emotional to call him uncle-master.

The same is true for Chu Lingyi. She and Li Qing entered the sect together and had received great favors from Patriarch Ziqing.

Seeing this elder about to leave this world, I was naturally extremely sad.

"Ahem, those miraculous elixirs would just be a waste if my useless body took them."

"Besides, I know my own situation well. Those precious medicines that prolong life are not of much use."

Having said this, Patriarch Ziqing started coughing violently again.

"Li Qing!" Wu Chong frowned and said anxiously.

At this point, Li Qing no longer hesitated. He mobilized the powerful magic power in his body and easily broke through the restrictions of the Ziqing ancestor's cave.

Just when they were preparing to file in, it was already too late.

An aura of enlightenment emanated, holy and otherworldly.

"Ancestor!" Li Qing strode into the cave with big strides and saw Ancestor Ziqing who was in the process of transformation.

Today, Patriarch Ziqing is so thin that he looks like a monster. His qi and blood have dried up, his essence has dried up, and he has already begun to transform into a Taoist. Even if a Daluo Heavenly Immortal came, he would probably be powerless to save him.

However, Patriarch Ziqing was calm and peaceful. He looked at the people coming in one after another and showed a gratified smile.

"You have done a great job. The future of Lingyun Sect is now in your hands."

In the glory of the Dao of Transformation, Ancestor Ziqing gradually disappeared. His last ray of light brought a smile of relief, and he bid farewell to the world completely.

Ancestor Ziqing left very decisively, without any attachment to this world.

Li Qing and the others all knelt down and bowed deeply towards the direction where the Ziqing Patriarch was.

After a long time, in this sad atmosphere, they all shouted:
"Farewell to Ancestor Ziqing!"

"."

A senior and experienced Grand Elder of Lingyun Sect passed away, which caused a huge stir in the entire sect and even in the entire Qingling Region.

During these seven days, everyone in the sect held a very grand funeral for Patriarch Ziqing. White banners were hung all over the mountain gate and paper money was flying in the sky.

In such a heavy atmosphere, an extremely unstable crack suddenly appeared in the sky above Qingling Territory.

This spatial rift emitted a dark demonic energy, which instantly dyed the clouds and mist within a hundred miles into darkness.

However, this crack was not stable. It only lasted for a few days before closing again.

If there weren't still some demonic energy lingering in the air, the monks who witnessed all this would even think that it was an illusion!

Is the invasion of the demon world finally coming? !
A suffocating pressure suddenly came over me.

If the previous invasion of the demon world was just some rumors in the world of immortal cultivation, then the sudden appearance of this space rift directly proved the authenticity of this statement.

It's not just a rumor, it's true!

Unstable space cracks like this not only appear in the sky above the Qingling Domain, but similar signs also appear in several other major domains in the human world!
Li Qing, who had just seen off Patriarch Ziqing, was now standing on the hilltop within the sect. He looked at the sky where a space rift had appeared with an extremely solemn expression, and was unable to speak to himself for a long time.

In fact, he felt something the moment the space rift appeared. At that moment, the spiritual energy of the entire world seemed to be suppressed.

"Space rifts cannot last forever. Is this a test?"

"No matter what, the invasion of the demon world has finally arrived."
