hods, so cultivation naturally becomes impossible.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!One night passed quickly.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translat...Behind the heavenly barriers, in an ancient city palace, Shen Changqing was sitting cross-legged, his whole being immersed within a hidden realm.

Only a three-foot divine sword and an ancient qin appeared in the cave. A terrifying aura emanated from them, seemingly out of thin air.

The Divine Sword and the Ancient Qin were plainly the treasures of two Death Spirit Emperors.

Among them.

The Divine Sword has stepped into the realm of half-step immortality, being on par with the Ancient Emperor Tower.

The ancient qin, however, is a notch below, comparable only to the top-tier twelve-grade treasures.

It is worth mentioning.

Whether it's a divine sword or an ancient qin, they belong to the same category as the Ancient Emperor Tower and are not considered Daoist weapons.

The emperor who once held the two treasures has now fallen, and both the divine sword and the ancient qin are now unclaimed. But truly refining these two treasures is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Compared to the divine sword, the ancient qin is relatively easier to refine.

After all, it's just about the same level as the Heavenly Offering Cauldron. Since Shen Changqing could easily refine the Heavenly Offering Cauldron, he could naturally refine the ancient qin.

The sword speaks.

It will take a little longer.

The materials used to forge the Heavenly Sword are based on the Ancient Emperor's Tower. While the ancient qin left behind by the Spiritual Sound Divine Emperor is quite good, in terms of potential upper limit, it is probably inferior to the Heavenly Sword.

The grade of the Divine Sword is about the same as that of the Ancient Emperor's Tower, but even if it were to be smelted into the Heavenly Sword, it wouldn't bring too much change to the Heavenly Sword.

To forge divine weapons and repair the Heavenly Sword, this was Shen Changqing's first thought.

As the saying goes, "a bird in hand is worth two in the bush." Similarly, having a large number of divine weapons and treasures isn't necessarily better. If you could sacrifice some extra treasures to obtain one truly top-tier artifact, the practicality would undoubtedly be much higher.

Alas.

Shen Changqing's own achievements in refining artifacts were limited. Even with a treasure like the Ancient Emperor Tower as a template, he could only forge an artifact that barely reached the twelfth rank.

Even if we were to truly forge a divine sword right now, I doubt it would bring much change to my signature weapon.

Without reason.

Shen Changqing then thought of the Imperial Shrine.

“Since the Divine Temple can collaborate with the various heavenly divine clans to forge the Heavenly Barriers, it means there must be top-tier artifact masters within the Divine Temple. If we could get the Divine Temple involved, there's a chance we could raise the rank of the Heaven Sword.”

...However.

Considering the importance of his divine weapon, Shen Changqing still didn't want to entrust it to someone else.

After all, a celestial weapon differs from other treasures. If the person who refines it has ulterior motives, it could pose a significant problem for them as well.

But the real reason is that Shen Changqing doesn't want to expose his natal magic.

Besides,

Even if it merges with another half-step immortal artifact, the natal divine weapon probably wouldn't improve much, after all, refining a divine weapon isn't as simple as one plus one equals two.

So.

Shen Changqing extinguished the idea of refining divine weapons to enhance his natal divine weapon.

"When he finds materials of the immortal level, he will integrate them into his natal divine weapon and raise the limit of Heaven's Sword."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This way, even if it is only nourished with flesh and blood, there is hope to upgrade the natal divine weapon to a truly immortal level.

As for transmission in terms of refining, Shen Changqing was not lacking.

The Bing Huang was known as the top refiner of the ancient times. He once used his own power to refine the Ancient Emperor Tower, a semi-immortal artifact, which demonstrates his incredible achievements in refining.

Shen Changqing received the inheritance of Emperor Bing. It's not impossible for him to make further progress in refining equipment in the future.

However.

The main thing to do right now is to refine the two treasures and then talk about it.

Then, Shen Changqing directly took the ancient qin out from within the cave heaven. He immediately imprinted his divine sense into it, intending to claim ownership of this treasured artifact.

As the divine thought descended, the ancient qin vibrated with a resonant clang, emitting a powerful wave that seemed to resist something.

Although the guqin does not possess spiritual intelligence like the Dao Bing, when a divine weapon is nurtured to a certain extent, it also possesses a degree of instinct.

Now the ancient qin sensed that a cultivator wanted to enslave it, so of course it resisted.

The power hidden within the ancient qin erupted, and if it were an ordinary divine master cultivator, their divine sense would surely shatter instantly. The difficulty of forcibly claiming ownership would be no less than ascending to heaven.

But for Shen Changqing, his soul had already been solidified to a certain extent. Even with the power of the ancient qin, it couldn't truly shake his soul much.

Finally.

Shen Changqing forcefully imprinted his own mark on the ancient qin. A sense of kinship, born of blood, quietly appeared.

Rivers and mountains' qin!

This is the name of an ancient zither.

The grade of the Shanhe Qin was several levels higher than Shen Changqing had expected. It had reached the peak of the twelfth rank, just one step away from reaching the level of a half-immortal.

However.

Although it may seem like just one step away, the gap between the two is worlds apart.

This is different from ordinary Dao soldiers. If they are top-tier twelfth-rank Dao soldiers, as long as they can obtain a chaotic spiritual embryo, they will have the hope of autonomous promotion.

But the Shanhe Qin is not a Dao Soldier. Unless it can be reforged by a top-tier refiner, it will remain at the peak of the Twelfth Rank for its entire life and have no further possibility of advancement.

This is the difference between ordinary treasures and Dao soldiers.

The former has almost no room for growth, while the latter has more opportunities for advancement.

Shen Changqing's current natal magic art, in a certain sense, is similar to refining Dao soldiers, but it's not exactly the same.

For instance, once a Dao Soldier steps into the twelfth rank, to further ascend to the realm of half-immortal and true immortality, they require a Chaotic Spirit Embryo.

But the destined divine weapon is not needed.

As long as materials of an immortal level are incorporated into it, allowing the divine weapon's upper limit to reach an immortal level, and then relying on the cultivator's own blood, essence, and qi to nurture it, there is a hope that the divine weapon can enter the immortal tier.

That can be said.

The effect of the natal technique is not very strong in the early stage, but when the natal divine weapon reaches a certain level, the natal technique truly shows its power.

As his hand moved across the mountains and rivers qin, a chaotic and jarring melody echoed through the hall. Waves of sound, powerful beyond measure, spread outwards, shattering and obliterating space in an instant.

When the entire hall seemed poised to be destroyed by the sound of the qin, Shen Changqing pressed down with his right hand, completely neutralizing all the vibrations.

"The Shan He Qin is a great weapon, especially when used in group attacks. This treasure can unleash unimaginable power!"

As for the invaluable treasure left behind by the Divine Emperor of Lingyin, Shen Changqing was quite satisfied. The Shanhe Qin wasn't just a weapon of surface attack; the sound it produced could also shatter souls, causing cultivators to perish silently and without a trace.

This point has a great degree of restraint on the Netherworld spirits.

Because the Underworld spirits themselves only exist as souls without a physical body, attacking them with the Shanhe Qin's divine soul attacks is akin to attacking their souls.

Of course.

If a skeletal being is too powerful, and its soul is stable, then the River-Mountain Harp is no different from other divine weapons. The concept of restraint simply ceases to exist.

After all, whether or not restraint is exercised reflects the difference in strength between each other.

Just as water can extinguish fire, but in fact, when the fire is strong enough, it can also evaporate the water. The two are roughly the same principle.

“The Mountain River Qin has been successfully refined, but I don't understand music theory. The tunes I play are not as pleasing to the ear as those played by the Spirit Sound God Emperor. Perhaps I should find a few more sheet music scores to practice.”

One day, if you really need to use the Mountain River qin against your enemies, playing it wildly would only bring ridicule upon yourself.

>

Shen Changqing pondered silently.

In his memory, many songs from his past life were also deeply ingrained in his mind, but they weren't all guqin pieces. Among them was a famous pipa piece.

Huaiyin Pingchu!

Or, to put it in simpler terms, it's like a ten-sided ambush!

Of course.

This is the Pipa Qu, which is different from the ancient zither, but Shen Changqing can modify it slightly on the original basis to make it suitable for playing on the Shanhe Qin.

After all, Shen Changqing's current realm makes it easy to change some aspects of the musical rhythm.

"Boom!"

With a fist strike that shook heaven and earth, on the battlefield between two worlds, Taishan blasted a divine king-level undead to smithereens with a single punch, then set his sights on another divine king undead.

Since the first Netherworld invasion was repelled ten years ago, the battlefield between worlds has become a training ground for celestial beings.

Many cultivators who have been struggling to make a breakthrough, choose to enter the battlefield between two worlds alone, hoping to find a breakthrough in the midst of the carnage.

Some succeed, while others meet an untimely demise. Nevertheless, countless cultivators continue to flock here.

There is no other reason.

It's better to take a gamble than to sit around and wait for time to run out.

Moreover, the Divine Temple also offers many enticing bounties. As long as you slay a Death Spirit, you can obtain corresponding resource rewards. For many casual cultivators, cultivation resources are inherently difficult to come by.

Now, as long as you step into the battlefield between two worlds and slay the undead, you can obtain cultivation resources bestowed by the Divine Palace. Besides, you can also seek breakthroughs in the midst of combat. What's not to love

Therefore.

A steady stream of cultivators have entered the battlefield between two realms for years.

Over the years, Taishan has witnessed many top-tier divine kings who have gained enlightenment in battles, directly crossing the Heavenly Tribulation of the Divine Lord and successfully achieving enlightenment.

The more he saw such situations, the calmer he became.

In the endless carnage, Taishan had begun to have some different insights. He understood that the day he broke through was not far off.

As long as one truly comprehends the subtle opportunity hidden within, one can directly shatter the limitations of a God King and step into an even higher realm.

And.

>

As he continuously slayed the undead, Taishan also felt subtle changes within himself. His physical body refinement seemed to have become much easier than before.

Regarding this discovery, Taishan couldn't help but think of some rumors that circulated among the heavens and earth a few years ago.

That is, killing the dead spirits can receive gifts from Heaven, making one's cultivation easier.

At first, not many cultivators believed this rumor, but as time went on, the voice of the rumor grew louder and louder.

Now.

>

Killing the dead spirits can gain gifts from heaven, making cultivation easier, has already become an undeniable fact.

In this situation, Taishan believes that the time it takes for him to break through will be shortened even more.

Right as Tai Shan was slaying a God King-level undead on Mount Tai, feeling the subtle changes within himself, the Dark Gate, which had been silent for ten years, trembled once more.treasure to try and stop this devastating power.It's a pity.He ultimately underestimated the power of the Nine Cauldrons Offering to Heaven.In a mere instant, the shield shattered with a deafening boo...
