"Zhou River Gold Sand!"

Xuanqing, seizing the moment, took out 129,600 grains of "Zhou River Gold Sand," embedding them into the artifact embryo and then incited the Divine Fire for refining once more.

Flames potent enough to incinerate the heavens turned instantaneously into a furnace, with the Fire Great Dao of the Daluo Heaven faintly visible.

In a split second, space and time transformed, and 129,600 Dust Worlds began to rotate slowly around the artifact embryo, erupting with a mighty force capable of suppressing thousands of realms.

"I shall lend you a hand!"

Upon seeing this, Emperor Shangqing immediately pointed his finger and released a stream of Saintly Dao essence, which merged into the artifact embryo and instantly formed an unparalleled grand array.

Xuanqing’s eyes gleamed.

This move by Emperor Shangqing undoubtedly demonstrated that the Path of Artifact Refining and the Method of Refining Arrays were the same, and that skills in array formations could indeed be applied to artifact refining.

129,600 Dust Worlds, in an instant, arranged and combined themselves, invoking the power of heaven and earth, even causing the river of space-time to reveal a wisp of illusion.

Thus, as long as the bell tolled, endless worlds would emerge and perish; one realm would shatter, and another would be born, unless all worlds could be destroyed at once.

As long as Xuanqing’s mana persisted, this bell would be indestructible, capable of instantly generating endless Dust Worlds, evolving countless space-times to protect itself.

"Let’s call you the Cosmic Light Bell!"

Although it had not yet fully taken shape nor had various prohibitions been imprinted, Xuanqing had already thought of a name for this defensive Spiritual Treasure.

Up, down, and the four directions say ’Universe’; from ancient times to the present say ’Cosmos’; the incorporation of 129,600 grains of "Zhou River Gold Sand" bestowed this Spiritual Treasure with the attribute of space-time!

And light, infinite and boundless, as firm and yang as the "Shouyang Red Copper," continually evolving like the Dust Worlds.

Cosmic Light Bell!

Thinking this, Xuanqing immediately employed the Mediation Creation Method, attempting to awaken and create a spirit for this Acquired Spiritual Treasure, to see if it could cultivate a spirit of its own!

Ding!

The bell’s sound was vast, as if coming from the beginning of ancient times. Under the light of creation and the pull of a Taiyi Spiritual Light, an endless force of heaven and earth was drawn.

A faint spiritual intelligence immediately grew stronger with the power of heaven and earth, and Xuanqing took the opportunity to imprint one prohibition after another on the bell using the Upper Pure Immortal Technique.

After imprinting thirty-six prohibitions consecutively, he turned to look at Emperor Shangqing.

With Xuanqing’s current mastery in the Refining Dao, creating a High Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure was not a problem, but to create a Top Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, or even an Acquired Treasure, was slightly beyond his abilities!

Emperor Shangqing understood his intent and with a raise of his hand, twelve divine lights struck out, instantly creating twelve more prohibitions on the bell.

"This material is quite remarkable; it may very well become an Acquired Treasure in the future!" Emperor Shangqing slowly spoke, "But for now, this is the best we can do!"

"Thank you, teacher!"

Xuanqing hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

His preparations were somewhat insufficient; had it not been for Emperor Shangqing’s assistance, he definitely could not have crafted a Top Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure!

Upon reflection, he instantly imbued some Merit into the "Cosmic Light Bell," which he had accumulated previously, to see if it could transform into a Merit Spiritual Treasure?

Instantly, the light of Merit shone across the heavens like an immortal lamp illuminating the dark universe; the "Cosmic Light Bell" immediately emanated a sacred aura!

Xuanqing felt a pang of pain!

With just that action, he had consumed most of his accumulated Merit, but fortunately, it was all worth it.

With this Merit Spiritual Treasure, given his current realm, he now had no weaknesses!

"This is all your own achievement!"

Emperor Shangqing smiled kindly at Xuanqing, "I was merely at the right place at the right time! However, a Spiritual Treasure is, after all, an external object. It still requires mana to activate, so do not neglect your cultivation!"

"Yes!"

Xuanqing hurriedly nodded.

In fact, even though he had broken through to become a Daluo Golden Immortal tens of thousands of years ago, he still hadn’t fully refined the "Purple Lightning Hammer" and couldn’t fully unleash its power.

According to his estimation, only when reaching the pinnacle of Daluo, or even the realm of Quasi-Saint, could one truly wield a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure as easily as using one’s own limbs!

Watching Emperor Shangqing leave, Xuanqing immediately summoned the three great Netherworld Daoist Soldiers, instructing them to exert their full power, then to deploy their Divine Skills at him from different directions.

"Drought Extinguishing Divine Fire!"

"Mountains Collapse!"

"Shadow Vortex!"

Drought, Jiang Chen, and Hou Qing attacked simultaneously, their formidable powers astonishing. A million miles of the void were engulfed by an aura of destruction, with earth, water, wind, and fire churning ceaselessly.

"Cosmic Light Bell!"

Xuanqing, however, unruffled, conjured the Merit Spiritual Treasure he had just refined. Instantly around him sprouted endless Dust Worlds.

As these worlds were born and perished, overwhelming powers of space-time surged effortlessly, swallowing the Divine Skills of the three attackers.

"Not bad!"

Xuanqing couldn’t help but praise, "Three Daoist Soldiers, comparable to a Daluo, launched attacks at the same time, yet failed to harm me in the slightest. In terms of defense, it seems secured!"

Next, he tested the suppressive power of the Spiritual Treasure. The force from the eruption of 129,600 Dust Worlds was sufficient to suppress a million miles of void.

Yet, this was still not the limit of this Merit Spiritual Treasure, only that Xuanqing’s Mana was insufficient to support it further!

When he refined this treasure, he took the "Chaos Bell" as a reference. Although slightly inferior in rank, it matched in all functionalities!

Suppressing worlds, reversing space-time, revealing mysteries, refining all things, rebounding attacks...

Of course, in terms of power and material, it certainly wasn’t as formidable as the "Chaos Bell."

Xuanqing, satisfied, put away the "Cosmic Light Bell" and then took out the "Sui Fire" to meticulously inspect it. The current "Sui Fire," after devouring more than a dozen Innate Divine Fires, was on the verge of a qualitative transformation and possessed the power to incinerate all creations, just a step away from rivaling the "Innate Thunder Pool!"

"Sui Fire," as an Acquired Fire, was inherently weaker than the "Innate Thunder Pool," thus it could never match up.

It was an unavoidable fact!

Xuanqing had also not come across any Innate Divine being who practiced the Fire Great Dao and returned their Dao to the heavens and earth upon death, thereby cultivating something akin to the "Innate Thunder Pool."

Such events held an extremely small chance, truly a case of serendipity!

"But!"

"If there’s a chance, planning on the Fusang Tree or the Phoenix clan’s Parasol Tree might be worthwhile. Both of these are Spirit Roots of the Fire Extreme Dao. Using their origins to nourish the Sui Tree might just transform it!"

"We’ll see about the opportunity!"

Xuanqing’s thoughts flashed briefly. These two Top Grade Innate Spirit Roots were unique, and he was definitely not the only one with this intention.

Thinking this, he immediately decided to undergo a period of seclusion. Just as Emperor Shangqing said, cultivation is the foundation; strength is the capital to suppress everything.

He entrusted the guarding of the Yin Yang portal to the Ghost Dao Avatar and three-headed Pan Hu to manage, and furthermore, three Netherworld Daoist Soldiers were hidden in the dark.

Moreover...

With Houtu and Emperor Shangqing stationed in the World of Darkness, safety was thoroughly ensured.

Besides, he also wanted to delve into researching the Alchemy Techniques to compress various Divine Skills he mastered into Dan Pills for an ultimate explosive power!

He already had an idea!

However, to ensure the stability of these Dan Pills, he still needed a period of focused seclusion to carefully study.

Also, comprehension of the Wind Great Dao, Plague Great Dao, Agricultural Dao, and Ghost Immortal Dao must also be prioritized and not fall too far behind the Thunder and Fire Great Daos.
