Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 1264 - 1250: Artifact Refining? Isn’t it just a matter of having hands?

Chapter 1264: Chapter 1250: Artifact Refining? Isn’t it just a matter of having hands?

The extreme southern land.

Amidst the thick green fog.

Xiao Yi led six people, gathering divine power in his eyes, and the heavy fog in front had minimal impact on his vision.

About two hours later.

Tongtian shouted, "Saint Lord Xiao, it’s right here!"

"Here?"

Xiao Yi was puzzled, looking at the surrounding mist.

The space here was calm as usual, showing no difference.

Fang Ru said solemnly, "Indeed, it is here. We were chased by those death servants before, and Master Nantian shattered this void with his divine skills to lure the death servants in. We took the opportunity to escape, but Master Nantian was entangled by the death servants, unable to get away. Then, a few beams of blood light appeared in the void and sealed him within..."

"Shattered void? Blood light?"

Xiao Yi held his chin with his hand, pondered for a moment, and looked at Fang Tianmiao and Fang Tianchi.

The two nodded in understanding.

"Patriarch, it seems we need to join forces this time!" Fang Tianmiao said with a smile.

"Bring forth the Heavenly Strategy Compass!"

Fang Tianchi said solemnly.

The two of them performed a series of strange gestures, then simultaneously bit their tongues and spat out two clouds of blood mist: "I am the Azure Bird White Crane Immortal, wielding the compass to descend upon the nine heavens, fearing no direction, chosen to bury this place as Bull’s Rest, White Crane Immortal Master, please locate the point, Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady descends with the compass..."

The thick, ancient incantation echoed between heaven and earth.

Faintly, the power of the Heavenly Dao gathered into threads of destiny force, invisible to the naked eye.

Falling upon the blood mist between the two of them.

The blood mist slowly wriggled.

Converging into the shape of a compass.

Sss!

Tongtian gasped, his face showing disbelief as he stared at Fang Tianchi and Fang Tianmiao, "This, is this the secret technique of the Tiance Clan? Are they powerful figures from the Tiance Clan? How is this possible? It’s said that the Saintly Honor Realm masters of the Tiance Clan never appeared in the Qingtian Realm after ancient times, how could they..."

"Tongtian, you say they are strong figures of the Tiance Clan?"

"Did the Tiance Clan emerge from the Mysterious Realm?"

The few of them, being figures equivalent to Lords of Sacred Lands, were naturally no strangers to the Mysterious Realm.

Yet, precisely because of their understanding of the Mysterious Realm, discovering that Fang Tianchi and Fang Tianmiao were indeed formidable figures from the Tiance Clan left them in shock.

After all.

Since the ancient times, the eight great ancient clans’ Sacred Venerate had not emerged from the Mysterious Realm.

This had become an ironclad rule!

And now...

Two Saintly Honor Realm masters from the Tiance Clan appeared right before them, how could they not be astonished?

Everyone’s eyes turned to Xiao Yi.

This man in front of them had repeatedly performed miracles.

And now...

He had once again redefined their concept of miracles.

At that moment.

Fang Tianchi and Fang Tianmiao both raised their hands high above their heads, and instantly, the sound of crackling thunder echoed between heaven and earth. Flashes of thunderous light continuously gleamed before them, the ever-changing fate and power of heaven and earth seemed to transform into two invisible hands, manipulating the strange compass.

On the compass, the needle spun rapidly.

Mystical runes, seemingly alive.

Continuously rotated on the compass.

Suddenly.

Buzz!

The needle on the compass suddenly trembled, and golden light points slowly rose into the air.

Forming a few lines of ancient writing above the compass.

Swish!

The writing flickered briefly.

At this moment...

Fang Tianchi and Fang Tianmiao both opened their eyes, exchanged a glance, and nodded in unison. Fang Tianchi said solemnly, "Fortunate not to fail, we have determined the position of Master Nantian..." He pointed to the calm void ahead, "A space node is hidden here. Once shattered, the deadlock imprisoning Master Nantian will reveal itself!"

"Thank you both!"

Xiao Yi nodded toward the two.

Forming a sword mudra.

Xiao Yi suddenly launched a fierce sword strike toward the space node.

Swish!

A shocking Sword Qi rushed into the sky.

Countless sword lights, like scattered stars, condensed into a sharp sword shadow in the void, with a clamorous sound, the sword edge struck precisely at the space node hidden within the void.

With a crisp cracking sound.

The void in front wriggled intensely.

Like ripples spreading across a calm water surface, circles expanded outward in all directions.

When the ripples before him completely vanished.

The calm void shattered like a fractured mirror, piece by piece falling away, then eight beams of blood light shot skyward.

The blood light twisted and turned like a blood dragon in the void, its mighty aura vibrating the air.

An ancient aura filled this void.

As the blood light subsided.

An ancient altar appeared before them, octagonal in shape, with an ancient stone gate at its center.

The stone gate was covered in dark red bloodstains.

Seemingly narrating a terrifying battle that once erupted here.

At each of the altar’s eight corners stood a towering stone pillar.

The eight beams of blood light had just shot out from these pillars.

"This is the ancient Eight Gates Locking the Void Formation. Unless eight Sacred Venerate Realm masters simultaneously break the stone pillars, the central space transmission channel can’t be opened. All must act at once; if one hesitates, the other pillars will instantly restore as before..." Tongtian explained.

Xiao Yi nodded, having inherited from the Dual-Star Daoist, he had a comprehensive understanding of formations.

Zi Feng sneaked a glance at Xiao Yi, tentatively saying, "Now that Duan Tianya is dead, we’re one person short here..."

"No worries!"

Xiao Yi glanced at Tongtian, then said, "Old Ancestor, summon the Qingping Sword!"

"You intend for Qingping to replace Duan Tianya?"

Tongtian was startled and then smiled wryly, "However, Qingping is a sacred weapon, ranking among the top five sacred weapons in the entire Qingtian Realm. But it is not truly a Saintly Honor Realm master, unless it can advance a further grade, reaching the level of an apex sacred weapon, it is impossible to shatter these pillars..."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yi waved his hand dismissively and said calmly, "Then let it become an apex sacred weapon!"

"Huh?"

Tongtian said with a wry smile, "Saint Lord Xiao, you might not understand sacred weapons very well. Unlike us, sacred weapons cannot cultivate on their own, they can only be forged and refined. Since the disappearance of the Hall of Longevity, no one has been able to forge an apex sacred weapon!"

Apex sacred weapon.

The Heavenly Strategy Compass previously activated by Fang Tianchi and Fang Tianmiao was considered an apex sacred weapon!

It was a heritage treasure of the Tiance Clan, existing since ancient times.

In the vast Qingtian Realm, there had not been a new apex sacred weapon created since ancient times!

Xiao Yi waved his hand and grasped the Qingping Sword, calmly saying, "Artifact refining is all it takes, isn’t it just a matter of using your hands? Please wait for a moment while I elevate it to the apex sacred weapon level..."

Artifact refining?

Using hands is all it takes?

Everyone’s mouths twitched.

Zi Feng whispered, "Could it be that Saint Lord Xiao can truly forge an apex sacred weapon?"

"If he can actually forge an apex sacred weapon, I’ll give him the Qingping Sword..." Tongtian chuckled disdainfully.

He had refined the Qingping Sword for tens of thousands of years, never making it reach the apex sacred weapon level.

He wouldn’t believe Xiao Yi could achieve this.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone...

Xiao Yi began the refining process...
