Painting World Treasure Mansion, Five Elements Spirit Palace.
Xue'er entered the Cultivation room for secluded Cultivation, with cold qi overflowing from within.
Seeing this, Li Mu smiled contentedly, his figure flickered, appearing in the Artifact Refining Room, he took out several storage rings, took out all the spiritual items stored inside, and began to count his gains.
In an instant, brilliant lights shone, various rare Ores, high-grade Yao Beast Materials piled up like mountains, tens of thousands of spiritual items floated in the air, some of them crystal clear, as bright as stars; others with various shapes, containing mysterious power, tens of thousands of high-grade spiritual items, some emitting scorching flames, like the rising sun, illuminating one side; others as cold as ice, with chilling qi, like the gaze of the Arctic abyss, ….
For a moment, Li Mu was dazzled, under the Talent Divine Power - Identify Myriad Spirits, the attributes of various high-grade spiritual items appeared densely.

…
Li Mu released his Divine Sense, locking onto each spiritual item, classifying them according to their attributes, and storing them one by one into the nine storage spiritual pearl.
In a short while, tens of thousands of floating spiritual Materials, Yao Corpses, mountains of spiritual Ores, jade boxes, …, continuously disappeared into thin air.
As expected of the generous gift from the Sword Master, each one was a rare treasure in the world, and the quantity was even more astonishing. These spiritual items were not only of superior quality, but also extremely rich in variety, and none were below the sixth-grade.
Inside the nine storage spiritual pearl, the nine storage spaces formed their own world, and with a thought from Li Mu, these spiritual items were neatly arranged within, each emitting a unique glow, complementing each other, forming colorful treasuries.
However, this fourth-grade storage Magic Treasure that had accompanied him for many Years now seemed to have insufficient space.
Currently, Li Mu's collection was quite abundant, with countless high-grade spiritual items. The higher the grade of the spiritual item, the stronger its power, and the more stringent the storage requirements became.
High-grade spiritual items, especially those containing the Law of heaven and earth and endless mysteries, were unimaginably sensitive to their environment, requiring a stable and pure energy field to prevent their Spirituality from dissipating; needing to isolate external interference to maintain the purity of their unique properties; and even requiring suitable temperature, humidity, and specific Spiritual Qi concentration to maintain their vitality and activity, …, and so on.
In addition, there were various finished products, such as various high-grade Spirit Pills, Puppets, Spiritual Artifacts, Magic Treasures, Spirit Medicines, ..., and so on. Although the space of the nine storage spiritual pearl was large, it could no longer meet the demand for storing so many high-grade spiritual items.
Li Mu's mind stirred, and he took out a black spiritual pearl and a floating, shimmering silver spiritual sand from among the many treasures.
Under the Talent Divine Power - Identify Myriad Spirits, the attributes of the two spiritual items appeared in Li Mu's eyes.
【profound sky spirit pearl】
【Grade: Seventh-grade Yao Core】
【Characteristics: Endless Void Realm, thirty-six divisions of the Realm, hidden breath and evasion, illusion profound sky】
【The profound sky spirit pearl, condensed by a seventh-grade Profound Sky Yao Beast swallowing the essence of the Universe, contains thirty-six heavens within itself, with endless Void Realm being profound and unpredictable. Each heaven contains unique spatial Law, concealing myriad Realms invisibly, it is a supreme treasure for constructing cross-Domain teleportation arrays and refining top-grade evasion Magic Treasures.】
【spirit void realm sand】
【Grade: Seventh-grade Spiritual Sand】
【Characteristics: Spatial folding, sand containing myriad Realms, tough Realm wall, micro-Void Realm world.】
【spirit void realm sand, condensed in the depths of the endless Void Realm over hundreds of millions of Years, absorbing the power of time and space Origin. Each grain of Realm sand contains a tiny space, with myriad worlds intertwined and coexisting within. The Realm wall formed by the Realm sand is incomparably tough, making it an unparalleled Material for refining spatial defense Magic Treasures or constructing private Domains. At the same time, the Realm sand contains subtle spatial Law fluctuations, which help Cultivators comprehend deeper levels of the Dao of space, making it an excellent spiritual Material for refining spatial Dao Artifacts.】
Looking at the two seventh-grade spiritual items, Li Mu's mind stirred, and he decided to use them to refine a high-grade storage Dao Artifact to replace the storage function of the nine storage spiritual pearl.
Action followed thought immediately. Li Mu successively summoned Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire, Yin Yang Lightning Fire, and Earth Vein Heavenly Fire.
The three masses of Heavenly Fire were of different colors, competing in brilliance, releasing terrifying high temperatures, instantly raising the temperature of the Artifact Refining Room to a new height.
The Fire Spirit form of the Yin Yang Lightning Fire was an Azure-Blue Flood Dragon, the Fire Spirit form of the Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire was a Purple-Gold Fire Phoenix, and the Fire Spirit form of the Earth Vein Heavenly Fire was a Scarlet Fire Dragon. Under Li Mu's control, they, who were originally incompatible, could now coexist peacefully.
Li Mu displayed his Chaos Dao Body, formed hand seals, fully circulated the Perfection of the Eightfold Heavenly Fire Tempering Method, and with vast Chaos True Essence surging out, he solemnly shouted: "Heavenly Fire as Furnace!"
As Li Mu's low roar, imbued with endless majesty and power, echoed, a thunderclap seemed to sound in the Artifact Refining Room, shaking the Void Realm slightly. Under his control, the three masses of Heavenly Fire were no longer just in the form of flames, but transformed into the purest and most powerful elemental spirits in the world. Instead of conflicting, they formed a strange harmonious resonance.
The Purple-Gold Fire Phoenix of the Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire flapped its wings and soared high, its wings spreading to release dazzling light, like a scorching sun in the sky, illuminating the entire Artifact Refining Room;
The Azure-Blue Flood Dragon of the Yin Yang Lightning Fire coiled and circled, electric arcs flowing over its body, each twist accompanied by rumbling thunder, as if it could tear space apart;
The Scarlet Fire Dragon of the Earth Vein Heavenly Fire coiled on the ground, its body connected to the earth, as if drawing the hottest energy from the depths of the Earth Vein, spewing flames capable of melting everything.
The three masses of Heavenly Fire quickly merged together, slowly condensing into a magnificent three-colored Heavenly Fire Furnace in front of him.
The furnace was nearly ten feet tall, suspended in the air, like an ancient and majestic temple of flames, exuding a heart-palpitating pressure. The furnace body was interwoven with the azure-blue of Yin Yang Lightning Fire, the purple-gold of Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire, and the scarlet of Earth Vein Heavenly Fire, making it colorful and dazzling.
Li Mu's Chaos True Essence surged into this furnace made of Heavenly Fire like a mighty river flowing into the sea, causing the space inside the entire furnace to twist and fold, forming a flame world independent of the outside.
On the surface of the furnace body, flames leaped incessantly, like countless lively small fire spirits dancing. They sometimes transformed into the agile form of a Fire Python, the soaring of a Fire Phoenix, or the roar of a Fire Dragon. Each form was full of agility and might, demonstrating the infinite power of Heavenly Fire. The furnace lid, condensed from three-colored flames, was even more enveloped in flames, forming an indestructible flame barrier that tightly sealed the mysteries and high temperatures within the furnace, not letting out a single trace.
With a thought from Li Mu, the profound sky spirit pearl and spirit void realm sand were successively thrown into the Heavenly Fire Furnace. Under the refining of the Heavenly Fire in the furnace, the profound sky spirit pearl and spirit void realm sand gradually lost their original forms, rapidly melted together, intertwined and woven, gradually refining into a ring-shaped artifact embryo.
Li Mu used Heavenly Fire as a hammer and True Essence as a guide, meticulously carving and fusing the artifact embryo condensed from the profound sky spirit pearl and spirit void realm sand, arranging artifact arrays, and at the same time, began to condense divine patterns to form artifact patterns.
As Li Mu's carving of the artifact embryo deepened, various artifact patterns constructed by divine patterns continuously condensed, imbuing it with various special functions.
The "Sumeru in a Mustard Seed" divine pattern, once fused into the artifact embryo, would infinitely expand its storage space, as if a grain of sand contained a world, compressed within this small area. Mountains, rivers, and seas could all be easily accommodated, and access would be free, without worrying about insufficient space.
Next, was the "Solid Spirit Hidden Breath" divine pattern, which isolated items stored within the Dao Artifact from the outside world, making it difficult for even a Great Vehicle Dao Lord's Divine Sense to probe its interior.
The "Spirit Void Shield" divine pattern was Li Mu's defensive measure for this Dao Artifact. When attacked from the outside, this shield could be automatically activated, forming a spatial-temporal barrier of time and space power, protecting the owner and the items within from harm.
…
As Li Mu perfectly integrated the last trace of divine pattern into the artifact embryo, the black spiritual ring in the Skyfire Refining Furnace emitted an unprecedented brilliant light. The Heavenly Fire in the three-colored Heavenly Fire Furnace seemed to also sense this Perfection, joyfully leaping, as if cheering for the birth of this masterpiece.
Li Mu gently exhaled a turbid breath, the long period of highly concentrated Divine Sense consumption ended, and a relaxed, joyful smile bloomed on his face.
The storage Dao Artifact—tianxuan ring, finally reached the Realm of a seventh-grade top-grade Dao Artifact under his unremitting efforts. The spatial Law contained within it, and its thirty-six thousand small storage spaces, were enough to make any Artifact Refining Great Master look on in awe.
However, just as Li Mu was immersed in the joy of success, the Spiritual Qi within the Treasure Mansion Space suddenly became unusually restless, as if the entire space was responding to some unknown call. An extremely oppressive aura, like dark clouds obscuring the sun, enveloped it. That was the strong attention and lock-on displayed by the external heaven and earth will towards the high-grade Spiritual Artifact that was about to be born.
Facing this sudden change, Li Mu merely smiled indifferently, as if he had expected it. With a light flick of his sleeve, the flames in the three-colored Heavenly Fire Furnace instantly disintegrated, revealing the black spiritual ring in the center, emitting a dazzling light.
Li Mu reached out and took the tianxuan ring into his palm. A wisp of Divine Sense, like a fine thread, gently wrapped around it. In a moment, a deep connection was established with the tianxuan ring, and he successfully refined it, as if it had become a part of his body.
As the refinement of the tianxuan ring was completed, the three Heavenly Fire Spirits—Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire, Yin Yang Lightning Fire, and Earth Vein Heavenly Fire—also completed their mission, manifesting their Fire Spirit forms. After circling in the air a few times, they transformed into three streams of light and unhesitatingly drilled into Li Mu's body, resting in the vast and boundless Chaos Sea deep within his Dantian.
After all this was done, Li Mu's figure suddenly became illusory, and his figure completely disappeared into the Treasure Mansion Space.
Next, Li Mu needed to personally go to the Tribulation Transcending Platform to escort the tianxuan ring and help it successfully Undergo the Tribulation that was about to come.
Not long after, in the back mountain of the Seven Profound Sect, at the Tribulation Transcending Platform, thunderclouds rolled in the sky, surging forth. The tianxuan ring floated up, leaving Li Mu's palm, with light flowing on it, seemingly also anticipating the test of the coming artifact Tribulation.
…
Just as Li Mu was assisting the tianxuan ring in Undergoing the Lightning Tribulation, in the Ancestral Master Hall of the Xuantian Sword Sect, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn at this time.
Chen Qingxuan, in the posture of a Great Vehicle Dao Lord, sat in the main seat of the Ancestral Master Hall. Below, on both sides, Sword Master Feng, Yun Sword Master, and five other Sword Masters sat separately. Their faces all carried a hint of seriousness and worry, their gazes occasionally meeting, clearly, the topic they were discussing was not trivial.
"Senior Brother Chen's advancement is just in time. If Senior Brother Feng and Senior Brother Lin can also advance to Mahayana, then the current predicament of the Sect will surely be resolved." Yun Jian Master looked at Chen Qingxuan, who was sitting in the main seat, and the two Sword Masters, and said sincerely.
Qi Xuanming frowned tightly and said in a deep voice: "That's right, several strongholds in the Northern Domain border, which I am responsible for guarding, have been attacked. Although we responded in time, the losses are not small. What's more worrying is that these forces seem to be colluding, and there might be a larger conspiracy behind them."
"Indeed, lately, external forces have been restless, frequently provoking the Spiritual Lands belonging to our Sect, attempting to seize our Sect's resources and expand their sphere of influence while our Sect is undergoing internal adjustments." Feng Wuhen agreed profoundly, nodding: "Now that Senior Brother Chen has successfully advanced to Mahayana, he will surely deter those petty individuals and make them rein in their ambitions."
"Senior Brother Chen, we all know that the Mahayana Realm is difficult to reach for those without great wisdom and great Opportunity. May I ask if Senior Brother Chen encountered any extraordinary Opportunity during the process of advancing to Mahayana, or was touched by something? Could you share a bit with us?" Following Feng Wuhen's words, Yun Jian Master continued the previous topic, asking eagerly.
Last time, this topic was dodged by Chen Qingxuan with an inappropriate excuse. Now, only a few of them were in the Ancestral Master Hall, and the isolation array had been activated, so he should have no reason to refuse anymore.
If they could also advance to Mahayana by following Chen Qingxuan's Opportunity, it would undoubtedly be a huge help to the Xuantian Sword Sect. He had no reason to hide it from them.
Hearing this, Chen Qingxuan sighed lightly, seemingly having something difficult to say, and frowned, carefully choosing his words.
"Don't make things difficult for Senior Brother Chen. I know the reason for this, but Senior Brother Chen and I have made a Dao Heart vow, so it's inconvenient to reveal this!" Sword Master Feng said with a smile, interrupting and suggesting: "You all wait for a moment, I will make a decision after asking for his opinion."
"Who!"
Hearing this, the four Sword Masters were slightly stunned and asked in unison. They had not expected that Chen Qingxuan had obtained the Opportunity to advance to a Great Vehicle Dao Lord because of someone.
Chen Qingxuan waved his hand, motioning for everyone to calm down, and said: "You don't need to ask more. After Junior Brother Feng asks for that person's opinion, if the time is right, he will naturally share it with you."
After he finished speaking, the hall fell into a brief silence, and each Sword Master tacitly understood the deeper meaning behind this veiled statement.
Seeing this, Sword Master Feng stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone, please wait, I'll be right back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sword Master Feng's figure flickered, turning into a stream of light, instantly piercing through the dome of the hall, soaring straight into the clouds, and disappearing in the blink of an eye. (End of this chapter)
