Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 1265 - 1251: Stunning Everyone, Qingping Sword Acknowledges Its Master!

Chapter 1265: Chapter 1251: Stunning Everyone, Qingping Sword Acknowledges Its Master!

The reason why sacred weapons are difficult to forge.

The most crucial part is that while forging a sacred weapon, one must incorporate the earthly force into it.

And only those in the Sacred Venerate Realm can invoke the earthly force.

But in the vast Qingtian Realm, which Sacred Venerate does not expend a lifetime of effort on their cultivation?

Who would have the mind to be distracted by artifact refining?

Even when one achieves the Sacred Venerate Realm, they tend to only refine their life-bound Yuan weapon meticulously, sacrificing long years to elevate it to the level of a sacred weapon.

Like the Qingping Sword in the hands of Tongtian, its ability to rank among the top five sacred weapons of the Qingtian Realm is primarily because it was already at the sacred weapon level before Tongtian became a Sacred Venerate Realm master.

Otherwise...

Even if Tongtian nurtured it with his blood essence, it would be impossible for the Qingping Sword to achieve such feats.

Merely the sacred weapon is already so difficult to refine, let alone a peak sacred weapon.

Therefore.

When it was heard that Xiao Yi intended to refine the Qingping Sword into a peak sacred weapon, everyone reacted with, "Even the Hall of Longevity in its day, aside from that Hall Master, no one could refine a peak sacred weapon!"

"He won’t succeed!"

"Ordinary artifact refining isn’t difficult, but to forge a sacred weapon, especially a peak one, even a Saintly Honor Realm master solely dedicated to artifact refining may not be able to accomplish it..."

"Perhaps others can’t, but Xiao Yi is exceedingly mysterious; maybe he indeed has a method to succeed," Fang Ru glanced at the two and said lightly.

He can be said to be his son-in-law.

The stronger the son-in-law, the more prideful the father-in-law feels!

"I have refined the Qingping Sword for tens of thousands of years with my blood essence, elevating it from an advanced sacred weapon to today’s top sacred weapon, yet progress has halted..." Tongtian spoke with an air of arrogance, as the Qingping Sword is one of the proudest things in his life, then he glanced at Xiao Yi’s direction, saying lightly, "If he can indeed elevate the Qingping Sword to a peak sacred weapon, what harm is there in gifting the Qingping Sword to him?"

As he spoke.

All of the earthly force Xiao Yi had accumulated for a long time gathered in one place, radiating boundless light.

The light shook the heavens, eclipsing stars, outshining the bright moon.

With a muffled thud.

A heaven and earth furnace appeared before him. Xiao Yi glanced at the Qingping Sword in his hand and said lightly, "The process will be painful later, you must endure it!"

"Lord Xiao, rest assured, I can endure it!" responded the Qingping Sword.

As a sacred weapon.

Becoming a peak sacred weapon is his lifelong ambition!

Once it can become a peak sacred weapon, it will be able to cultivate and comprehend the earthly force on its own.

No longer relying on the master’s long-term nurturing.

Swish!

With a casual flick of his wrist, Xiao Yi sent the Qingping Sword into the furnace of heaven and earth, continuously striking with his hands.

Ancient and mysterious runes, like nimble spirits, quickly submerged into the furnace.

In a moment.

The earthly force in this realm rapidly gathered into the Qingping Sword.

Buzzing!

The Qingping Sword trembled violently.

Menacing cracks appeared one after another on the sword’s body, constantly tearing it apart and then being repaired as more earthly force infused into it.

A hundred refinements to be refined, a thousand refinements for steel.

Just as when mortal men forge iron ore, repeated forging can produce refined steel.

But...

The forging of a sacred weapon requires the earthly force to tear it apart repeatedly and then repair it again.

Thereby purging its internal impurities.

Leaving only the purest sword and earthly force!

When a sacred weapon is tempered time and again with earthly force, removing all internal impurities, leaving only the essence and earthly force.

Then this sacred weapon is not far from being a peak sacred weapon!

Woosh!

Endless earthly force continuously aggregated.

Above the heaven and earth furnace, a massive five-colored vortex appeared from nowhere.

Vast and grand earthly force entered the heaven and earth furnace through the vortex, continuously gathering onto the Qingping Sword.

This scene left everyone present dumbfounded. Zi Feng swallowed hard and said, "How long has this been going on?"

"Already ten hours, right? How could anyone possibly channel so much earthly force? Isn’t he afraid of being retaliated against by the Heavenly Dao?" Tongtian’s face was full of astonishment.

Earthly force, this is the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Constantly extracting earthly force is equivalent to contending for the essence with the Heavenly Dao, the more earthly force one extracts, the more terrifying the mature Heavenly Dao’s retaliation becomes.

Even as strong as Tongtian, he can only sustain drawing earthly force for one hour before needing to stop.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao’s retaliation would be unbearable!

But now...

Xiao Yi had persisted for more than five hours, still showing no signs of fatigue.

Fang Tianchi sighed, "Indeed, he is worthy of being our Tiance Clan’s Supreme Elder!"

"Indeed, indeed!"

Fang Tianmiu nodded in agreement.

Fang Ru stroked his chin, proud and gratified, "No wonder he is my Fang Ru’s son-in-law..."

"Amitabha!"

The Buddha clasped his hands together, with a solemn appearance, speaking as Buddhist chants echoed, "Our Buddha’s now Buddha King has its divine light shining, accomplishing what others cannot!"

The few exchanged a glance and spoke simultaneously, "We are all one family!"

Zi Feng: "..."

Tongtian: "..."

The two exchanged glances.

Zi Feng transmitted his thoughts, "Judging by this, serving him as a slave for ten millennia seems not entirely unacceptable!"

"Seems feasible..." Tongtian said after a moment of hesitation.

Just then...

A series of booming noises emanated from the heaven and earth furnace, as bolts of lightning shot forth from within.

Boom!

A sharp sword light burst from it, shooting straight into the heavens.

Resplendent light spanned thousands of miles.

A formidable tribulation cloud hung in the sky.

Comparable to the tribulation of a sage!

"Slice through it for me!"

Xiao Yi stood with hands clasped behind him, snorting coldly.

Swoosh!

The Qingping Sword transformed into a blade spanning miles.

With a tremendous crash, it fiercely slashed into the vast cloud mass.

The entire tribulation cloud was split in half in the blink of an eye.

Tranquility returned to the world once more!

The Qingping Sword radiated with green light, its terrifying sword aura, enough to make one’s heart tremble even from miles away.

The fearsome sword gleam seemed to slice through the heavens at a mere quiver.

As if it were the core of the heavens!

Tongtian was dumbfounded, eyes filled with shock, "It truly became a peak sacred weapon?"

"Who could have foreseen Xiao Yi’s talent in cultivation is so terrifying, and even his path of artifact refining is this formidable..."

"Tongtian, didn’t you just say if Xiao Yi could elevate the Qingping Sword to a peak sacred weapon, you would gift it to him?"

"I..." Tongtian’s face froze.

Meanwhile...

Xiao Yi stood suspended in the air.

The Qingping Sword transformed into a streak of green light, swooping down in front of Xiao Yi.

The Qingping Sword shimmered, transforming into a human figure.

Clad in green garments, exuding a detached grace, respectfully bowing to Xiao Yi, "Qingping, pays respect to the master!"
