506 - Refining the Blood Drinker Sword
The [Blood Drinker Sword] was one of the titled divine weapons within the [Fiendgod Titled Chart]. The toughness and sharpness of it naturally did not need to be mentioned. Its initial strength could already be compared to a Dao tool. Furthermore, as it was nourished even more by the wielder, the classification of it would also gradually increase along with nourishment.
But this was not the most mysterious part of the [Blood Drinker Sword].
The mysterious power of the [Blood Drinker Sword] lay in the fact that it could unendingly drain the blood, qi, and power of the enemy during the clash of battle. It would then transform into blood, qi, and power that belonged to the wielder, constantly healing and recovering any injury they had sustained.
To speak a little more exaggeratingly, if one wielded the [Blood Drinker Sword], no matter how you did battle with the enemy, as long as there was not too great a realm of cultivation between you, you would be undefeatable.
Especially for someone like Ye Qingyu, who solely relied on physical power to do battle, the effect of this [Blood Drinker Sword] was not in any way less than a divine weapon.
Facing the threat of the Demon Spider Race from Clear River Domain, if he had the [Blood Drinker Sword] in his hands, Ye Qingyu's confidence would become much stronger.
Placing the blood vine endowment bone within the divine-level Origin crystal in his hands for a brief moment, Ye Qingyu summoned the [Cloud Top Cauldron] with a thought.
These days, after reading the scenes from the interior of the [Cloud Top Cauldron], Ye Qingyu had constantly increased his understanding towards this treasure as well as refining his spirit. This was especially so for the hundred and eight ancient characters. Ye Qingyu could already comprehend the first twenty-four characters, and could basically control the [Cloud Top Cauldron] to refine pills as well as weapons.
The [Cloud Top Cauldron] was currently the size of a fist. It was floating above Ye Qingyu's palm, swirling and rotating. It was emitting a faint bronze golden splendour, taking in and sending out mist.
It was many, many times more bright and resplendent than what it was like when it first landed in Ye Qingyu's hands.
Ye Qingyu's heart willed.
The [Cloud Top Cauldron] floated to the center of the [Light Palace]. It enlarged with the wind. In the blink of an eye, it had turned massive, turning into a three legged cauldron four or five meters high. It landed lightly on the ground.
The lid of the cauldron floated up.
With a flick of Ye Qingyu's hand, there was a faint silver red glimmer that appeared, falling into the [Cloud Top Cauldron].
“Seize!”
Ye Qingyu shouted loudly. His palms were in front of his chest, his fingers constantly changing positions, letting out hand seals. This was namely one of the ancient characters out of the hundred and eight ancient characters.
As the hand seal formed, the ancient character appeared from Ye Qingyu’s palm and flew out, landing on the [Cloud Top Cauldron].
Bang!
The lid closed.
Ye Qingyu's hands constantly changed, the hand seal changing and forming another ancient character.
"Seal!”
Ye Qingyu let out a low shout, an ancient character appearing once again.
This time, the ancient character also landed on the body of the [Cloud Top Cauldron].
Rumble.
The [Cloud Top Cauldron] began slightly vibrating.
Ye Qingyu dared not be careless. Both his hands split apart, his left and right palm lightly pushing out. Then his left hand and right hand, with each a strange curve of arc and lines, formed hand seals. There were more ancient characters that appeared.
This time, the two ancient characters did not escape from his hands.
It only consolidated in his palm, emitting a mysterious power.
“Examine!”
“Govern!”
There were big beads of sweat dripping from Ye Qingyu's forehead. Biting his teeth, with his left palm at his eyes and his right palm at his head, there were two ancient characters that appeared above and below. The 'Govern' character was at his head while the 'Examine' character was at his head, in front of his face.
After everything had been accomplished, only then could Ye Qingyu let out a breath of relief.
Since all his yuan qi cultivation was currently imprisoned, it was hard to completely use his full power. Just then, just by activating the [Cloud Top Cauldron] and forming the ancient characters, he had already basically expended all the yuan qi in his body.
Ye Qingyu let out a long, relaxed breath.
There was divine light shooting out from amongst of his eyes. Through the effect of the ancient characters, he could clearly see through the walls of the the [Cloud Top Cauldron], seeing the scenes within.
The ancient character on his head also let out a divine light. It formed the connection between Ye Qingyu and the [Cloud Top Cauldron].
This was the plan he had thought up since his yuan qi had weakened like so.
If his yuan qi cultivation was still at the River Stage of the Bitter Sea, he would not need to have expended so much effort.
Through the divine light in both his eyes, he was able to see through the walls and the situation within.
The secrets of the [Cloud Top Cauldron] was myriad and endless. There naturally was a mystery within its interior. The place that the blood vine endowment bone within the divine-level Origin crystal was placed was namely the area within the [Cloud Top Cauldron] where items were refined.
The divine-level Origin crystal rumbled, moving up and down. The sealing power within it was being dissolved bit by bit.
If one wanted to refine the blood vine endowment bone, one must first release the seal on the divine-level Origin crystal, then release it.
After observing for a period of time, Ye Qingyu could largely already estimate that if he wanted to get rid of the power of the seal on the divine-level Origin crystal completely, he would need approximately two days of time.
It was only that he no longer concerned himself with this.
With a thought.
The ancient bronze book, [Fiendgod Titled Chart] floated above his palm.
Ever since Ye Qingyu had cultivated to a hundred Spirit springs and had entered into the River Stage of the Bitter Sea, there was already a large majority of the [Fiendgod Titled Chart] that had been unsealed and could be read.
The three main categories that it was split into was [Titled Fiendgods], [Titled Divine Weapons] and [Titled Strange Objects] .The [Blood Drinker Sword] was in one of the pages within the book [Fiendgod Titled Chart].
Ye Qingyu had the intention to refine a blade of blood vine out. In the decisive page, he confirmed that there was no mistake made in the entire process.
According to the index of the book, he flipped to the page that had information regarding the [Blood Drinker Sword]. He began reading it character by character.
After constantly dwelling over the [Fiendgod Titled Chart] and pondering the hundred and eight ancient characters, Ye Qingyu's command of the characters of the God and Devil Age had already reached a high mastery. Looking over it, everything was clear.
Two hours later, Ye Qingyu had confidence.
He called Gao Han over, ordering him to carry out some matters.
Gao Han did not dare delay, turning and going about this immediately.
Ye Qingyu then took out the broken [Little Shang] sword, the [Beheading Wind] sword as well as the [Inexorable Spear] from the [Cloud Top Cauldron], all the weapons he had once used. He took them all out, and began carefully hitting it against each other with an unprecedentedly serious attitude. After observing it for a while, he finally reached a rough understanding in his heart.
Both his arms exerted force, his palm squeezing together. He suddenly compressed these weapons together, forming a roughly one meter wide metal ball. Then he threw it into the [Cloud Top Cauldron], opening a new refining space and began smelting it down.
Ye Qingyu’s slender body stood up, beginning to recite the ancient characters.
The [Cloud Top Cauldron] suddenly shrunk. It ultimately turned into the size of a fist, spinning and rotating above his palm.
He walked out of the [Light Palace] and towards the earth fire sword pit.
When the Central Domain Gate was being born, there was an endless light being shot out from the sword pit that could not be regarded upon. But now that the Central Domain Gate had been born, and the heavenly wall of the domain had appeared, the earth fire sword pit once again regained its former appearance.
Around the sword pit, there was very little fire trees. But they would once more regrow and flourish again.
The Divine General Gong, Gao Diping, was within the fire tree forest clearing up the leaves.
He was wearing coarse fabric clothing, his hair being bound by a piece of hemp rope. Although he had recovered his previous young state, he still remained silent. These days, apart from giving Ye Qingyu soundless greetings, he had never paid any attention or called to anyone of his initiative, as if he did not know how to speak at all.
The only exception were Jin Ling'er, Bai Yuanxing, Li Qi and Li Ying. He would occasionally give them a few pointers.
But just these few pointers alone was enough to make these four of the younger generation benefit greatly.
This time, when Ye Qingyu appeared at the edge of the earth fire sword pit, Gao Diping was still taking care of the fallen fire tree leaves. He only nodded his head to Ye Qingyu from far away.
Ye Qingyu nodded back, then jumped into the earth fire sword pit.
A scorching heat wave faced him.
But with the state of Ye Qingyu's current fleshly body, he paid no attention to this.
After descending roughly a hundred meters, Ye Qingyu stuck a fist that exploded against the stone walls of the sword pit. Half his arm was inserted into the wall, hanging his whole body on the stone wall.
When he lowered his head to look a thousand meters below, there was magma and lava bubbling and boiling. There were fallen boulders that had turned into liquid even before it had even entered into the underground lava.
Ye Qingyu approximated the temperature of the underground fire, as well as surveying in detail his surroundings.
In the middle of this underground lava, there was an eccentric shaped rock, that was able to withstand the scorching heat of the underground fire, not dissolving. It was like a reef in the river, able to stably remain within.
Amidst the scorching air, one could faintly sense a chaotic and muddled together aura of the five elements, as well as the faint scent of blood.
This was the leftover aura of all the exprets that had died in the earth fire sword pit after being lured in, in the battle that day.
That day, the experts of the other races, the experts of the sects, and the experts of the Jianghu, were all powerful characters. Even if they died, they were able to leave behind remnants of their own yuan qi and blood essence behind in such an environment.
It was a pity that greed had killed them.
Ye Qingyu descended like a grey eagle, landing on the black strangely shaped stone amidst the underground lava.
In such a scorching hot environment, even a expert at the peak of the Spirit spring stage would instantly be incinerated into ashes.
Ye Qingyu's clothes on his body nearly immediately burned up.
But his incomparably strong fleshly body was not even harmed in the slightest.
Activating the true will of the ancient characters, he placed the [Cloud Top Cauldron] upon one of the flat areas of the strangely shaped rock. Then the cauldron turned big. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a three legged cauldron tens of meters high.
The lines around the body of the cauldron began flickering, and started unendingly absorbing the energy of the earth fire sword pit.
This was the objective Ye Qingyu had in coming to the earth fire sword pit.
His current yuan qi cultivation was weak, and he did not have the yuan qi power to activate the [Cloud Top Cauldron] to refine the [Blood Drinker Sword]. But if he was able to borrow the scorching heat within the earth fire sword pit to activate the [Cloud Top Cauldron], it could achieve the same effect.
Under the profoundness of the activation of the ancient characters, the [Cloud Top Cauldron] was like a whale sucking in water. It began unendingly absorbing the scorching power from the earth fire.
Yong!Yong!Yong!
The [Cloud Top Cauldron] began vibrating.
After receiving sufficient energy, the speed at which it was able to release the seal of the divine-level Origin crystal constantly quickened.
Ye Qingyu did not dare tarry. Protecting by the side, he began controlling and observing it in detail.
In the blink of an eye, a day went by.
Above the earth fire sword pit, there was the voice of Gao Han sounding out, "Lord, the materials you require have already been prepared."
Hearing this, Ye Qingyu was delighted. Shouting back, "Throw it down."
