#419 - A glance at the sword
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Let's go, leave this place, and find another volcano to continue cultivating."
He steered the nascent world space and flew towards another sea area, advancing slowly along the seabed.
On the way, he continuously cast restrictions, beginning to seal the Demon Eye, and using the Cauldron Bottom Dao Source to pull at it. Strands of black gas were pulled out, and these complex impurities even contained the power of filth.
Although Li Chengfeng didn't understand the details, he knew that this was a contingency left behind by Sauron, and he admired this schemer from the bottom of his heart.
Sauron's conspiracy spanned thousands of years, and the depth of his plan was rarely seen in the world.
Even more astonishing was that he dared to offend the Great Evolution Demon Clan—a royal-level existence in the Demon Realm. Such courage and wisdom were by no means those of ordinary people.
Li Chengfeng solemnly wrote Sauron's name in his little notebook, but he also secretly felt regret.
This time, cursing Sauron's brother, Long, had cost him three thousand years of lifespan, and even his soul had been damaged by more than half, a heavy loss.
Recalling the five thousand years of lifespan he had gained from injuring the pirate last time, he had set himself a bottom line of keeping two thousand years of lifespan. Now, there was very little left, and he dared not use it lightly again.
Moreover, even if he performed another curse kill, it would be useless, because Sauron's dragon had become the weapon spirit of the Demon Blade, and it no longer had any effect on Sauron himself.
Li Chengfeng decided to wait patiently. Although he had not yet captured Sauron's aura, he firmly believed that there would be an opportunity in the future.
So, he continued to steer the space, carefully searching inside and outside the volcano, but he failed to find any trace of Sauron's other person.
In the end, he could only leave helplessly, feeling both awe and helplessness towards an opponent like Sauron.
As for the relationship between Sauron and his younger brother, whenever Sauron rested or cultivated, his younger brother would control the body, subduing two rogue cultivators and a fire蛟 to work for him.
All of these arrangements and plans were only to conceal Sauron's true intentions, leaving behind only a few traces of his brother, Long.
Li Chengfeng did not get his wish, but he didn't take it to heart.
He quietly steered the space, traversing several sea areas, traveling tens of thousands of miles, and arrived at another volcano.
This volcano was even more magnificent, with flames soaring into the sky.
He manipulated the nascent world space to sneak into it, cleverly avoiding those rogue cultivators searching for fire spirit stones, and slowly advanced towards the center of the volcano.
After choosing a spot, Li Chengfeng first released a substitute puppet to dig a cave, and after confirming that there was no danger, his true body withdrew from the nascent world space, and then set up layers of seals and restrictions to ensure safety.
With all preparations in place, he once again summoned Old Devil and Little Vermilion Bird, and the three of them worked together to devote themselves to refining weapons.
Li Chengfeng took out the Demon Eye and began to carefully refine it.
As he cast one spell after another, the Heavenly Dao Brush danced in the air, drawing out complex restrictions, which gradually merged into the eye, making it seem to possess life.
A connection of flesh and blood was established with Li Chengfeng. More and more restrictions were added, and the array became more and more vast, interwoven into a net, interconnected.
Suddenly, the eye vibrated and floated, erupting with a strange and eerie power. Wherever its light shone, the flow of time slowed down. Compared to the main world, the flow of time was seven times slower, that is, one day outside, seven days had passed inside the eye. This was only a theoretical calculation.
Li Chengfeng was overjoyed with this result, constantly casting spells, gaining a lot in the refining process, and feeling mixed emotions, unable to contain his excitement.
Then, he handed over the weapon refining task to Old Devil, and with a wave of his hand, Nine Profound Battle Iron appeared in front of him. The little weapon spirit reacted quickly, cooperating tacitly with Old Devil, and quickly split off a piece of sword blank and handed it to Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng held the Heavenly Dao Brush, and the brush moved like a dragon and snake, engraving many complex restrictions and array patterns on the sword blank. The runes swirled, dazzling and radiant.
These restrictions and array patterns were tailored according to the characteristics of the Demon Eye, complementing each other and enhancing each other.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, another year had passed. Li Chengfeng finally completed the refining. During this year, his cultivation had also improved significantly, and he had even entered a state of enlightenment once, lasting for a full half a year, which was why it took so much time.
Old Devil and Little Vermilion Bird were very envious of this. They knew that Li Chengfeng often entered this selfless state of enlightenment, and they admired him even more.
Li Chengfeng waved his magic, cleverly fusing the sword blank with the Demon Eye, and then handed it over to Old Devil.
Old Devil used flames to perform a series of precise fusion operations, and then threw the fused object into the sword furnace fire.
Then, Li Chengfeng and Old Devil took turns, carefully refining this sword.
Spring went and autumn came, the flames blazed, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed, and the treasure sword was finally forged.
When the sword was unsheathed, it startled the heavens and the earth. Time seemed to stand still, and wherever the sword light reached, the flow of time slowed down by more than seven times.
A small red arrow revolved around Li Chengfeng, and the dense eyes on it were chilling, extremely eerie, causing the heart to stop suddenly, unbelievable.
This strange treasure sword emitted bursts of shrill sword cries, making one's scalp tingle.
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "This sword is called 'A Glance of Ten Thousand Years'.
Haha, with the help of this sword, the power of my other flying swords will definitely increase greatly."
He felt happy in his heart, knowing that the greatest advantage of this sword was that it could slow down the flow of time, reducing the speed of the opponent's ultimate move by seven times. What a powerful strength this was! Although this effect only lasted for seven breaths, it was enough to turn the tide of battle.
Li Chengfeng played with the treasure sword for a while, and then the treasure sword swooshed into his dantian to be nourished.
At this moment, inside his dantian, nine flying swords swam leisurely like small fish, constantly absorbing the power of the dantian fire, growing together with him.
Li Chengfeng scanned with his divine sense, confirming that there was nothing wrong outside and that the place was still safe.
So, he left the nascent world space, tidied up, and let Old Devil and Vermilion Bird also enter the space to rest.
During these years, they had gained a lot and their strength had improved significantly, especially Li Chengfeng. Through refining the sword, his thinking and strength had achieved a qualitative leap.
All the materials had been exhausted, and the nine flying swords had been refined, and they all corresponded to the corresponding cultivation methods.
Li Chengfeng realized that the next step should be to prepare for advancing to the Core Formation stage.
He had now cultivated to the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, only one step away from the Core Formation stage.
With the completion of the refining of the late Foundation Establishment flying swords, he was even more determined to advance to a higher realm.
Li Chengfeng had fully studied the Soul引丹, and was only waiting for the materials to be complete before starting to refine the Soul引丹.
The Soul引丹 formula he used was very different from the Soul引丹 provided by the Divine Sense Old Ancestor, and had been specially improved by him personally.
Over the years, the substitute puppet responsible for refining pills had worked tirelessly, undergoing countless experiments, and finally succeeded, although it was expensive, costing a full 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones.
Finally, he developed a cultivation elixir suitable for him - the Nine Yuan Soul引丹.
In addition, Li Chengfeng also widely read about the experiences from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Core Formation stage. The information obtained from the Treasure Pavilion gave him a glimmer of hope for the advancement path, although this hope was very slim.
With the improvement of cultivation, the bottleneck of advancement became more and more difficult to overcome, but he did not worry about it. In his opinion, the path of cultivation was full of challenges, and occasional failures were just scenery along the way.
He decided not to hide his whereabouts anymore, wearing the black robe he obtained from the Demon Realm, and stepping on a top-grade flying sword, he sped across the sea.
This flying sword was incredibly fast. However, during the flight, a huge Three Realms sea beast - a sea centipede - suddenly jumped out of the waves. Its shape was terrifying, its aura was frightening, and the water waves it sprayed carried a strong strangulation force, enough to kill ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.
However, Li Chengfeng didn't care about this. He quickly used the Magpie's Nest Technique, pulling the sea centipede into a special space. The surroundings were pitch black, as if covered by a black curtain.
The sea centipede struggled in horror, but could not find any attack target, nor could it perceive the existence of the ocean. There was only coldness and silence here.
Then, a ray of light lit up in the darkness, and a huge blood-colored moon emerged. The light of the bright moon instantly tore the space, and the sea centipede was divided into two from head to tail.
Li Chengfeng nodded in satisfaction. After reaching the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, his Blood Illumination Technique became more and more handy. Killing a third-order sea beast was no longer a difficult task.
