212: Chapter 212 The Embryo of the Primordial Mother Financial Sword, the Chaos Sword Takes Shape with a New Vision

Upon returning to the Immortal Cave at Tingjian Cliff, the first thing Ye Qing did was to reinforce the Restriction around the Immortal Cave, then he sat cross-legged on the green jade prayer mat, took out the Advanced Jade Slip that recorded insights on Artifact Refining, sank his Divine Sense into it, and began to study it carefully.

Although he had a foundation in Artifact Refining, the Magic Treasure he had refined in the past were all low-grade, and his techniques were relatively crude.

To perfectly integrate a divine material of the level of xuanhuang mother gold into his Lifebound Treasure, he needed more than just brute force; he needed a profound understanding of the Dao of Artifact Refining.

He spent three full days reading.

Three days later, he put down the Jade Slip, closed his eyes, and pondered for a moment.

He organized the knowledge of Artifact Refining in his mind, then slowly opened his eyes, a flash of enlightenment crossing his gaze.

"It is about time."

He stood up, walked to the open space in the center of the Immortal Cave, and gripped his right hand in the air; the chaos sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The sword body was the color of Chaos, simple and unadorned, yet it emitted an aura that was heavy and sharp, connected to his mind.

He then took out the millstone-sized piece of xuanhuang mother gold.

This divine material was pitch black, with a faint metallic luster flowing across its surface, and it felt extremely heavy in his hand, as if he were holding a small mountain.

He took a deep breath, placed the chaos sword horizontally in front of him, and then extended his left hand; in his palm, a ball of Chaos-colored flames quietly rose.

The flames appeared gentle, yet they emitted a terrifying high temperature that seemed capable of burning everything.

The temperature in the Immortal Cave rose instantly, and even the air began to distort.

He used the fire of Chaos to carefully scorch a corner of the xuanhuang mother gold.

The melting point of xuanhuang mother gold was extremely high; even with the temperature of the fire of Chaos, it took a full stick of incense worth of time before that corner turned slightly red.

Seizing the opportunity, he pressed the red-hot corner of the xuanhuang mother gold against the spine of the chaos sword, then joined his fingers like a sword, using his fingers as a hammer, and guided the fire of Chaos to begin forging and performing Fusion on the two.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The crisp sound of metal clashing rang rhythmically in the Immortal Cave.

Each forging was accompanied by the scorching of the fire of Chaos and the infusion of magic power.

Under repeated forging, the particles of xuanhuang mother gold began to penetrate into the body of the chaos sword, thread by thread, and began to slowly and firmly undergo Fusion with the original material of the sword body.

This process was extremely taxing on his spirit and magic power.

Each forging required precise control of force and heat; the slightest carelessness could damage the sword body or lead to an uneven distribution of xuanhuang mother gold, affecting the quality of the Magic Treasure.

Ye Qing was fully focused, fine beads of sweat seeping from his forehead, but the movements of his hands remained completely steady.

Like a precision machine, he mechanically and accurately repeated the actions of forging, scorching, and infusing magic power.

One day... two days... three days...

When Ye Qing finally stopped his movements on the evening of the third day, the millstone-sized piece of xuanhuang mother gold had completely disappeared, having fully undergone Fusion into the chaos sword.

The appearance of the chaos sword had also changed significantly.

The sword body became heavier and deeper; the original Chaos color now seemed more restrained, faintly revealing a hint of a steady, earth-like xuanhuang luster.

The blade edge possessed an indescribable sharpness, as if a gentle swing could slice through the Void Realm.

Ye Qing grasped the hilt and injected a wisp of magic power into it.

Hum—!!!

The chaos sword emitted a clear sword hum; the sound was heavier and longer than before, as if carrying a metallic tremor.

He could clearly feel that the quality of the chaos sword had improved by at least fifty percent!

Moreover, within the sword body, there was now a vitality that had not been there before, one that seemed capable of self-repair!

"xuanhuang mother gold truly lives up to its reputation."

Ye Qing nodded with satisfaction, stored the chaos sword into his Dantian, and continued to nourish it with his Chaos Infant Essence.

He stood up, stretched his somewhat stiff body, and his bones emitted a series of crisp cracking sounds.

"The sword has been forged. Next, it is time to consider how to achieve a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Dao Integration Realm."

He whispered to himself, a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes.

Cultivate in the Dao Integration Realm is much more difficult than in the Void Refinement Realm.

Each improvement in a small Realm requires a massive accumulation of energy, as well as a deeper understanding of the Laws of heaven and earth.

Although he had his Internal Space as a cheat, which allowed him to accelerate his Cultivate by devouring various energy items, at the level of the Dao Integration Realm, ordinary Spirit Stones and spirit materials were of minimal help to him.

He needed a more Advanced energy source.

"It seems I must find an opportunity to go out and move around. Staying holed up in the Sect will not help me find the opportunity for a Breakthrough."

He thought to himself, making up his mind.
