Chapter 421: five elements sword

Time flew by, and two years passed.

During this period, 'Li Mu', in the body of a Substitute Puppet, frequently appeared within the Seven Profound Sect, calmly assuming the role of Sect Master; however, his true body remained hidden within the mysterious Painting World Treasure Mansion, continuously refining Puppets and Spirit Treasures.

In two years, Li Mu's Puppet Art became even more refined; he refined a massive number of Battle Puppets and Substitute Puppets, and at the same time, he exhausted his Materials to refine a batch of high-grade Spirit Treasures and Spirit Pills, greatly enhancing his own Foundation in preparation for traveling to the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region to explore the Water Mansion Secret Realm.

During this time, Li Mu took a teleportation array to the Ice Nether Spirit Valley to repair the Seal Restriction in the Extreme Yin area, secretly 'planning' a large spiritual land for himself to plant high-grade spiritual plants in the future.

Inside the Immortal Cave on the Peak of the Five Elements Spirit Mountain in the Painting World Treasure Mansion.

Li Mu sat cross-legged in the center of the Artifact Refining Room, his eyes slightly closed, his Divine Thought attached to the Skyfire Refining Furnace in front of him; the Skyfire Refining Furnace, formed by Yin Yang Lightning Fire, had flames leaping and churning within it, releasing a daunting high temperature.

Azure Moon True Dragon and Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix sat on either side of Li Mu, controlling Blue Spirit Glass Water and Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire, and under Li Mu's control of the Shared Soul Art, they jointly participated in this Artifact Refining.

Under Li Mu's control, the two masses of Heavenly Fire exerted their full power, refining two high-grade Materials within the furnace: Seventh-Order Gold Element Material - Xing Yu Gold Marrow, and Seventh-Order Wood Element Material - Profound Wood Crystal.

Several high-grade spiritual objects of different attributes slowly began to fuse together in the Skyfire Refining Furnace; the Xing Yu Gold Marrow melted into liquid, shimmering with dazzling golden light, while the Profound Wood Crystal emitted a faint green light, representing the endless vitality of the wood attribute.

As time passed, these two high-grade Materials gradually melted, their essences converging and fusing in the Skyfire Refining Furnace, forming a completely new substance. This substance contained both the sturdiness and sharpness of the Xing Yu Gold Marrow and the flexibility and vitality of the Profound Wood Crystal.

Azure Moon True Dragon and Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix, under Li Mu's command, precisely controlled the Blue Spirit Glass Water and Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire, ensuring the smooth progress of the refining; their gazes were fixed on the refining furnace, as if anticipating something.

Since elevating his Refining Skill to Level 7, Li Mu had refined a large number of Puppets and also quite a few six-tier spirit treasures over the past two years, continuously familiarizing himself with the techniques of Seventh-Order Refining Skill and accumulating more Artifact Refining experience, all in order to personally refine a Seventh-Order Dao Weapon, and now he had finally entered this crucial practical stage.

To ensure the success of this Artifact Refining, Li Mu carefully selected several treasured Seventh-Order Materials: Seventh-Order Wood Element Material - Profound Wood Crystal, Seventh-Order Gold Element Material - Xing Yu Gold Marrow, Seventh-Order Fire Element Material - Infernal Golden Lotus, Seventh-Order Water Element Material - Jade Mussel Pearl, and Seventh-Order Earth Element Material - Earth Core Spirit Marrow.

Each of these Five Elements Seventh-Order Materials was a rare treasure, containing powerful Spiritual Power; some were obtained by Li Mu as rewards for refining artifacts for others over the years, or exchanged from the Sky Profound Sword Sect's contribution system, all prepared for this day.

Li Mu prepared to use these high-grade Materials as the Foundation to refine a Five Elements Dao Sword of unparalleled power for himself.

Although Li Mu already possessed a Seventh-Order Dao Weapon—Myriad Swords Mountain—this Dao Weapon, once unleashed, would release ten thousand swords simultaneously with an immense display of power, making it more suitable for large-scale group battles. What Li Mu sought now was a more refined Seventh-Order Dao Sword, better suited for solo combat, hoping to maximize his strength with this sword to face future challenges.

Inside the Skyfire Refining Furnace, the flames blazed fiercely, with temperatures high enough to melt anything. Li Mu once again added the Seventh-Order Fire Element Material—Infernal Golden Lotus—and the Seventh-Order Earth Element Material—Earth Core Spirit Marrow. These two Materials rapidly melted and fused in the scorching flames, perfectly combining with the other already fused Materials to form an unprecedentedly powerful substance.

To further enhance the sword nature of the Five Elements Dao Sword, Li Mu, after deep consideration, decided to use the melted Infernal Golden Lotus as the sword's veins, imbuing the sword body with a scorching fire attribute and powerful attack capabilities; at the same time, he used Xing Yu Gold Marrow and Profound Wood Crystal as the sword's sharpness and Soul, making the sword both sturdy and agile; with Earth Core Spirit Marrow as the sword's skeleton, providing stable support and endless Earth Element Spiritual Power for the entire sword; finally, he embedded the Jade Mussel Pearl into the sword guard, completing the Five Elements and forming the complete weapon embryo.

As the precious Materials in the furnace fire slowly began to fuse, Li Mu took a deep breath, then unleashed his Artifact Refining Divine Ability—Heavenly Fire Spirit Casting, using the power of Heavenly Fire to fuse the Materials into one and give them a new form. Under his control, within the Skyfire Refining Furnace, several high-grade Materials gradually converged, forming a rustic four-foot-long sword embryo, its body emitting a powerful spiritual glow.

As the weapon embryo solidified, a circular hole naturally formed in the sword guard, preparing for the next step. Li Mu swiftly cast the Seventh-Order Water Element Material—Jade Mussel Pearl—into the Skyfire Refining Furnace, precisely embedding it into the circular hole of the sword guard. The Jade Mussel Pearl contained powerful Water Element Spiritual Power, which could add a soft force to the sword embryo, and more importantly, complete the Water Element Foundation of the Five Elements weapon array.

Immediately after, Li Mu unleashed another Artifact Refining Divine Ability—Tempering Heaven and Earth, forming hand Seals and activating the Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire and Yin Yang Lightning Fire to intertwine like two agile fire snakes, coiling around the weapon embryo, tempering the sword embryo and the Jade Mussel Pearl, causing them to gradually fuse into one, indistinguishable from each other.

Time flowed by bit by bit. Li Mu fully circulated the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture, consuming six-tier Spirit Pills when his Spiritual Power was insufficient. He then unleashed the Artifact Refining Divine Ability - Divine Thought Soul Fusion, slowly injecting his Spiritual Power into the sword embryo in the furnace. This step was crucial, as it not only stabilized the sword embryo's form but also infused it with vitality. At the same time, he did not forget to fine-tune the fire intensity of the Yin Yang Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace, ensuring the weapon embryo could perfectly solidify at the most suitable temperature.

Once the sword embryo gradually stabilized, Li Mu proceeded to the next step, unleashing the Artifact Refining Divine Ability - Divine Refinement Weapon Pattern, condensing intricate weapon patterns onto the weapon embryo. These patterns would form around the weapon array, like precise nets tightly enveloping the sword embryo, aiming to nurture a Five Elements Sword Intent with an Innate Weapon Spirit, allowing this sword to successfully birth a Weapon Spirit, imbue it with powerful spirituality, advance to a Dao Spirit, and achieve the status of a Dao Weapon.

First to condense was the Gold Element Foundation Weapon Pattern—Golden Radiance, representing the dazzling light and indestructible quality of the gold attribute; golden patterns rapidly shimmered and formed on the weapon embryo.

Next, the Wood Element Foundation Weapon Pattern—Endless Vitality, symbolizing the vitality and recovery power of the wood attribute, like a verdant vine entwining the sword body, bringing continuous life force to the Spirit Sword.

The Water Element Foundation Weapon Pattern—Water Spirit, it bestowed the Spirit Sword with the flexibility and changeability of the water attribute, allowing the sword body to be as fluid and pervasive as water during an attack.

The Fire Element Foundation Weapon Pattern—Blazing Flame, it granted the Spirit Sword the scorching heat and destructive power of the fire attribute, like a fiercely burning flame, capable of incinerating all obstacles.

The Earth Element Foundation Weapon Pattern—Mountain Weight, it enhanced the Spirit Sword's stability and massiveness, making every sword swing feel like a mountain pressing down, with astonishing power.

...

Inside the furnace, weapon patterns on the sword embryo condensed one after another.

As each weapon pattern was inscribed, a deafening sword cry suddenly echoed within the Yin Yang Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace. A powerful Sword Intent, fused with the power of the Five Elements, was gradually taking shape within the furnace. Li Mu concentrated his mind and continued to unleash his Artifact Refining Divine Ability, beginning the steps of Heavenly Fire Condensation Dao and Heavenly Fire Nurturing Spirit, aiming to nurture an Innate Sword Spirit complete with all Five Elements.

"Buzz!" Accompanied by a crisp sword cry, a soaring Sword Qi suddenly burst forth from within the Skyfire Refining Furnace. This Sword Qi was so powerful it seemed capable of tearing the sky apart, inspiring awe.

It's done!

A hint of unconcealed joy flashed in Li Mu's eyes. 24 weapon patterns were the mark of a six-tier spirit treasure of top grade. The successful condensation of the 25th weapon pattern meant that this divine weapon had successfully advanced to a Seventh-Order Low Grade Dao Weapon.

As the last Earth Element weapon pattern was completed, the entire Sword Intent reached an unprecedented Peak state. Li Mu took a deep breath, slowly withdrew his hands, his eyes sparkling with joy. The sword embryo in the furnace had successfully nurtured a Seventh-Order Dao Weapon's Dao Spirit—this was a historic moment.

Li Mu chose to stop. If he continued, it was possible to nurture an even more powerful Sword Spirit, and even potentially allow this sword to transform into a Seventh-Order Top Grade Dao Weapon, but there was also a huge risk; if the weapon array could not be maintained, then all efforts would turn to ashes.

The Five Elements Spirit Sword slowly rose from the Skyfire Refining Furnace, carrying an inherent majesty of a Heavenly Dao Sword. Its body shimmered with the light of Five Elements Spiritual Power, with gold, green, blue, red, and yellow intertwined, emitting a profound, steady, and domineering aura.

Li Mu, with a joyful expression, extended his hand, and the Five Elements Spirit Sword flew into his grasp on its own, emitting a 'buzzing' sword cry, as if thanking Li Mu for bestowing it with life.

As the Five Elements Spirit Sword emerged, the Sword Qi within the Skyfire Refining Furnace gradually dissipated, but the powerful Sword Intent lingering around could not be dispelled. The Dao Weapon Sword Intent emanating from the Five Elements Spirit Sword in Li Mu's hand involuntarily attracted the gazes of Azure Moon True Dragon and Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix.

"Congratulations, Master, on refining a divine weapon!" Crimson Flame looked at Li Mu with her beautiful eyes and congratulated him.

"We really refined a Seventh-Order Dao Weapon!" Azure Moon stood up and looked at Li Mu, praising him with surprise, "Master, your Refining Skill has become even more refined."

"Haha! You two worked hard, thanks to your assistance!" Li Mu laughed heartily, looking at the Five Elements Spirit Sword in his hand with adoration.

Under the Talent Divine Power - Identify Myriad Spirits, its attributes were fully displayed in Li Mu's eyes.

This sword weighs: 3.5 million jin, Dao Weapon Five Domains, controls the power of the Five Elements, Five Elements Dao Treasure.】

At this moment, in an Immortal Cave on the mountainside of Five Elements Spirit Mountain.

Lin Maoshan, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, was suddenly startled awake by a shocking Sword Qi. The Five Elements power contained within that powerful Sword Qi greatly shook his mind. He quickly looked up towards the mountain Peak, only to see a five-colored Sword Qi shooting straight into the sky, as if it would tear the heavens apart.

Lin Maoshan gazed at the Sword Qi, and a sudden realization welled up in his heart. He felt the Five Elements power contained within the Sword Qi resonate with his own Spiritual Power. At this instant, he touched the threshold of Foundation Establishment, gaining a deeper understanding of the Five Elements Cultivation Technique he practiced.

Lin Maoshan understood that this was an Opportunity for Epiphany. So, he sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to wholeheartedly comprehend that Five Elements power. As the Epiphany deepened, the Five Elements Spiritual Power within his body circulated wildly, gradually forming a stable Five Elements Spiritual Power cycle.

The Spiritual Power of the Five Elements Spirit Mountain was drawn by this power, and massive amounts of Five Elements Spiritual Power surged wildly into his body. The Five Elements Spiritual Power flowed like a torrent through Lin Maoshan's Meridians, successfully breaking through all obstacles.

As time passed, Lin Maoshan felt as if his body had been thoroughly cleansed by this Five Elements Spiritual Power. His Meridians became wider, his Spiritual Power more abundant, and his entire being seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, exuding an unprecedented vitality and vigor.

Lin Maoshan slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, he had completed the process of Foundation Establishment and successfully stepped into a new Realm of Cultivation.

Lin Maoshan looked up towards the mountain Peak, his heart filled with gratitude. He knew that his ability to advance to Foundation Establishment was entirely due to that soaring Five Elements Sword Qi, which brought him a rare Opportunity for Epiphany.

Lin Maoshan guessed that the Sword Qi was perhaps intentionally emitted by his master, meant to enlighten him and lend him a helping hand.

Thinking of this, Lin Maoshan quickly knelt down, clasped his hands together, and devoutly kowtowed three times towards the mountain Peak. His eyes sparkled with firm light, and his heart was filled with gratitude and respect for his master.

"Thank you, Master, for your grace of enlightenment!" Lin Maoshan murmured to himself, his voice filled with reverence and gratitude, "This Disciple will surely Cultivate diligently to repay Master's kindness."

At this moment, Li Mu was delighted with the successful refining of the Five Elements Spirit Sword. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart, released his Divine Thought, and with a slight sweep, discovered Lin Maoshan's change, immediately chuckling. He hadn't expected that the Sword Qi he triggered while refining the Five Elements Spirit Sword could actually help Lin Maoshan Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. This boy indeed had quite a bit of good fortune.

Li Mu felt gratified. The Five Elements Sword Qi being able to have such a positive impact on his Disciple was an unexpected surprise. He decided to seize this Opportunity to bestow Lin Maoshan with some more Opportunities to help him advance further on his Cultivation path.

With a wave of his hand, Li Mu found a Jade Slip from the nine storage spiritual pearl and immediately flicked it towards Lin Maoshan.

Lin Maoshan was comprehending the Foundation Establishment Realm when he suddenly felt a Jade Slip flying towards him from the mountain Peak. He immediately realized what was happening and quickly extended his hands, respectfully catching the Jade Slip.

Lin Maoshan cautiously probed the Jade Slip with his Divine Thought, and immediately a vast stream of information surged into his Sea of Consciousness.

"Five Elements Treasure Tome!" Lin Maoshan exclaimed, his heart filled with shock and ecstasy. He hadn't expected his master to bestow upon him such a precious Cultivation Technique.

This Five Elements Treasure Tome is a Heaven-Grade Cultivation Technique, containing the true essence and profound mysteries of the Five Elements. Cultivating this Cultivation Technique allows for a deeper understanding and mastery of the Five Elements power, leading to rapid advancement in cultivation and greatly increased strength.

Lin Maoshan deeply understood the preciousness and importance of this Cultivation Technique. He immediately knelt down again, kowtowing three times towards the mountain Peak, expressing his gratitude: "Thank you, Master, for bestowing such a precious Cultivation Technique upon this Disciple. This Disciple will surely Cultivate with all his might, living up to Master's high expectations!"
