"boom--"

The former forbidden zone of the Yellow Springs, now the fifteen prefectures where the power of heavenly punishment remains, is once again condensing into a terrifying heavenly tribulation.

That powerful aura instantly attracted the attention of many powerful figures.

"War!"

"Could it be that another innate imperial weapon has been born?!"

Everyone stared at the descending power of the heavenly tribulation, their expressions filled with horror.

Innate Imperial Weapon!

Such treasures are rarely seen.

Not long ago, a Primordial Emperor Weapon appeared in the Divine Heaven Domain, and now a second one is about to appear?
Compare.

The Heavenly Forging Mansion was even more shocked.

"A Primordial Emperor Weapon? Could it be that he's about to reach the eighth rank in just a few hundred thousand years?!"

Bai Lianfeng looked shocked, his face filled with disbelief as he stared at the condensed heavenly tribulation.

Others may not know the origin of this calamity, but Hundred Refinement Peak is 100% certain that this calamity definitely comes from the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.

The reason is simple.

In the entire Divine Heaven Domain, there is only one person qualified to forge an Innate Emperor Weapon: Shen Changqing.

Among all the top seventh-tier grandmasters in the Heavenly Forging Palace, none of them were qualified to forge such a treasure.

Do not--

Precisely.

Tianzhu Mansion should only have half of it.

That is the Hundred Refinement River.

But that person has already gone into seclusion and has not yet truly emerged.

and.

If Bai Lianchuan were to forge an innate imperial weapon, such a massive commotion would surely have been noticed by the higher-ups of the Heavenly Forging Bureau.

and so.

There is only one possibility.

That means the people who forged the weapons were definitely not from the Heavenly Forging Bureau.

If it didn't come from the Heavenly Forging Palace, then there's only one possibility: it came from the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.

Not only was Bai Lianchuan shocked, but all the other high-ranking members of Tianzhu Mansion who knew Shen Changqing's background were also horrified.

But soon.

As the calamity descended, the divine weapon trembled and groaned, causing many powerful figures in the Heavenly Forging Palace to frown slightly.

"No, this treasure is likely to fail its tribulation!"

Bai Lianxuan said in a deep voice.

With his keen eyesight, he could tell that this treasure was already at its last gasp.

as predicted.

Not long after Bai Lianxuan finished speaking, another heavenly tribulation descended, and the previously intact treasure developed a crack.

After several tribulations, the cracks multiplied and soon covered his entire body.

When another heavenly tribulation descended, this supreme treasure suddenly shattered.

The fragments scattered in all directions, and the calamity of war vanished with them.

Failed!
When the calamity dissipated, many cultivators fell silent.

Witnessing such a precious treasure fail to transcend its tribulation was a great pity for many.

The location of Tianzhu Mansion.

Bai Lianfeng shook his head: "It's a pity that he couldn't survive the tribulation of war, otherwise the Divine Heaven Domain would have produced its first eighth-order Grandmaster!"

"Although he failed this time, he has already taken a crucial step. With further consolidation, reaching the eighth rank will not be a problem."

It's a pity that such beings are not cultivators of our Heavenly Forging Palace; otherwise, our Heavenly Forging Palace would surely prosper!

Bai Lianxuan sighed.

Regardless of Shen Changqing's actual strength, his extraordinary talent in weapon forging alone is enough to lead Tianzhu Mansion to great prosperity.

Hear the words.

The high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Forging Mansion, including Bailian Peak, remained silent.

They understood that what Bai Lianxuan said was true.

The fact that they were able to attract military calamity means that they have taken another step forward from the end of the seventh tier, truly stepping halfway into the eighth tier.

Truly breaking through to the eighth rank.

It's just a matter of time.

For most seventh-tier grandmasters, the real difficulty lies in taking that first step.

After all, once you can step into the eighth-tier hall, it means that you have already comprehended the eighth-tier path, and what you lack is just time to accumulate experience.

Many seventh-tier grandmasters never truly found the path to the eighth tier in their entire lives, let alone took even half a step.

This seemingly small difference can lead to vastly different outcomes.

People like Bai Lianfeng have been at the peak of the seventh rank for many years, but have never been able to break through to the eighth rank.

The reason.

It's right here.

Some things, once you understand them, you understand them. If you can't even understand them, then no matter how much time you spend reflecting on them, it's useless.

simply put.

If one cannot truly comprehend the path of the eighth rank and take that half-step, even with billions of years of accumulation and refinement, it will be impossible to truly break through to the eighth rank.

The passage of time is meaningless to cultivators at this level.

Enlightenment!

What matters most is the opportunity, not the timing.

Only by truly taking that first step can one have the opportunity to accumulate and refine knowledge over time.

After all, if you can't even find the way, then the so-called seclusion and contemplation is useless.

……

the other side.

Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back in the void, watching the dissipating war calamity, his expression calm.

"It still failed!"

He already knew the outcome when that treasure underwent its tribulation.

The flaws that were not discovered during the forging of weapons were fully exposed in the face of military calamity.

but.

Shen Changqing was not discouraged.

This failure truly showed him the way forward.

There are no longer any obstacles or ambiguities hindering our progress in addressing our shortcomings and deficiencies.

Shen Changqing was confident that, given more time, he could forge a true innate imperial weapon and advance to the eighth-order grandmaster level.

"but--"

"Currently, the materials are a significant challenge in order to forge weapons!"

Shen Changqing gave a wry smile.

He used up all the tenth-tier materials he had accumulated after forging the weapon four times.

If you want to refine the Innate Emperor Weapon for the fifth time, you will need to collect enough materials.

no way.

Tier 10 materials are rare.

Even with his strong foundation, Shen Changqing couldn't sustain this indefinitely.

Subsequently.

His figure disappeared.

When they reappeared, they were already in the Southern Bright Immortal City.

With the Xuan Tian Dao Sect's reputation soaring, the status of Nanming Immortal City has also risen accordingly. In addition, the large number of cultivators from outside the Divine Heaven Domain has made this immortal city increasingly prosperous and thriving.

It is a world apart from the time when the Immortal Lord of Nanming was in charge.

Shen Changqing glanced at the chamber of commerce in front of him, then stepped inside.

……

Inside the Fairy Pavilion.

Shen Changqing sat there upright, while Fu Tian looked respectful.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

"I have come here because I need you to do something."

Shen Changqing spoke slowly.

The Zhutian Chamber of Commerce has grown and expanded over the years, but with the turmoil in Shenfeng Prefecture and the impact on many immortal realms, the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce has also been significantly affected.

to this end.

Shen Changqing then instructed Futian to move the headquarters of the All Heavens Chamber of Commerce directly to Nanming Immortal City.

After all, with the Xuantian Dao Sect as its backer, Nanming Immortal City has nothing to worry about instability.

Also.

It is true that the Divine Heaven Domain is a mid-level Immortal Domain.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of the Xuantian Dao Sect that there are now many cultivators and powerful figures in the Divine Heaven Domain, which is incomparable to other mid-level immortal domains.

After all, with the current turmoil on all sides, many cultivators are worried about being affected and naturally want to seek refuge in other immortal realms.

Normal mid-level immortal realms would not be of interest to these cultivators.

But the Divine Realm is different.

With the Xuan Tian Dao Sect in charge, the safety of this immortal realm is even higher than that of many top immortal realms.

The reason is simple.

The Divine Heaven Domain is a mid-level Immortal Domain with limited resources, so it is destined not to attract the attention of many powerful individuals.

In addition, the strength of the Xuantian Dao Sect is enough to suppress many forces.

This way.

How could the Divine Realm be unstable?

One to two to go.

The number of cultivators from outside the Divine Heaven Domain is gradually increasing, which indirectly boosts the economy of the entire Divine Heaven Domain and is beneficial to the development of the Chamber of Commerce.

of course.

The large number of cultivators also means that there are many conflicts and disputes.

But still the same sentence.

With the Xuan Tian Dao Sect around, there won't be any major upheavals in the Divine Heaven Domain.

As for the other minor squabbles, they are harmless and unlikely to truly affect the overall situation of the Immortal Realm.

Again.

It is true that the Divine Heaven Domain is currently only a mid-level Immortal Domain, but once the next Heavenly Dao Battlefield opens, it will inevitably advance to a higher level.

and so.

The fact that the All-Heavens Merchant Guild has established its base in the Divine Heaven Domain is more advantageous than disadvantageous.

However, Shen Changqing has never interfered too much in the affairs of the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce.

This was his first visit since the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce moved to Nanming Immortal City.

"I will obey Your Majesty's orders!"

Fu Tian remained consistently respectful throughout.

Shen Changqing said, "From today onwards, the All Heavens Chamber of Commerce will do its utmost to collect tenth-order immortal ore, or other materials that can be forged into innate imperial weapons."

"I'll take as many as you want, and we're open to negotiating the price."

Although most treasures at the semi-saint level involve top-grade immortal stones, some immortal mineral materials are not.

After all, although the latter has also reached the level of a half-saint, it is not as important as other rare and precious materials, or even supreme treasures.

and so.

Even top-grade immortal stones can be acquired; it just requires paying a little more.

However, Shen Changqing still has hundreds of millions of high-grade immortal stones in his possession, so he doesn't need to worry about these issues.

Over the years, he had used up quite a few immortal stones.

However, Gu Mingfeng's attainment of Dao, his slaying of dozens of Immortal Emperors, and his occasional subsequent actions to suppress the remaining invading enemies allowed Shen Changqing to accumulate considerable strength.

result.

After so many years.

Shen Changqing's immortal stones have not decreased but increased, and now they have exceeded 500 million.

Five hundred million high-grade immortal stones.

He believed that acquiring some Tier 10 materials would be more than enough.

Even if the latter is very expensive, it's not a big problem.

Fu Tian naturally accepted the order.

"in addition--"

"Place this item with the All-Heavens Merchant Guild as well. You can decide how to handle it as you see fit."

As Shen Changqing spoke, he flipped his hand, and several fragments of the immortal sword appeared out of thin air. The terrifying killing aura lingered and did not dissipate, enveloping the entire Immortal Weapon Pavilion.

Even Fu Tian, ​​who had stepped into the Immortal Emperor realm, felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stand on end when such a murderous aura appeared, as if a great terror was about to befall him.

"This is a fragment of a Primordial Emperor Weapon!"

Fu Tian looked shocked, for he recognized the origin of this fragment of the immortal sword.

Shen Changqing shook his head: "It can't be considered a true fragment of an innate imperial weapon. At most, it's a half-step innate imperial weapon. However, this item has undergone the tribulations of an innate imperial weapon, and such fragments are not comparable to ordinary imperial immortal artifacts."

"He is of no use to me now, so you may deal with him!" (End of Chapter)
