Ninth-level fairy

When the black skeleton made a human voice and begged for mercy, Du Fang heard the voices of many people who were devoured by the ghost baby.

The five human souls were all suppressed in the black skeleton.

What on earth is this thing? What are you going to refine?

Du Fang was already filled with confusion. What exactly were these master and disciple going to do?

"Is that it?" Li Qingshuang asked.

"It's still early. The exquisite bone spine has just been made. Stand back. I'm afraid I'll hurt you next!"

Li Qingshuang stood far away obediently and saw Du Fang still standing in the distance.

He immediately patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, come with me!"

Du Fang followed silently.

Taoist Xuanzhen looked solemn as he spread out the black and white map of the universe in front of him. He took out a shining dagger in his hand and suddenly stabbed it into his heart.

Neither of them expected this and they screamed at the same time.

Just as he was about to pounce, he saw Xuanzhen kneeling down with a trembling body, suddenly pulling out a dagger, and dripping his blood on the Yin and Yang of the Qiankun diagram.

Xuanzhen said, "Shuang'er, when I refine the divine weapon later, you will protect me. The honor or disgrace of our lineage will depend on tonight..."

Li Qingshuang drew the purple immortal sword from her back and bit her lip. "Master, don't worry. If any monster attacks, I will protect you even at the cost of my own life!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Xuanzhen shouted "good" three times in a row and stretched out his hand.

Three phantoms suddenly appeared in the black clouds. Xuan Zhen shouted, "Come on, sword!" A golden sword light flew from a distance and landed in his hand.

That is the sword enshrined by the founder of Lingxiao Sword Sect - Emperor Wu's Golden Coin Sword.

Xuan Zhen waved his long hand, cut off the lids of the black and white coffins, picked up the Qiankun Qingqi diagram on the table, and kept rotating and enlarging it on the tip of the sword. Various strange runes and seal characters began to appear on the diagram, each shining with golden light.

Xuanzhen pinched the Taoist magic formula with his left hand, slammed it on the table, and the coffin shattered.

A magical scene appeared. On the black skeleton, white flesh suddenly began to grow. It was the same size as the sword. It was the body of a baby girl, which slowly floated up and rose towards the center of the Taoist diagram.

Then, a black gas began to rise from the black coffin and gradually merged with the baby girl's body.

The golden light of the Qiankun Qingqi diagram gradually faded, and a black pole appeared from the center of the Tao diagram, spreading to the surroundings. The Yin fish and the Yang fish evolved into the Four Symbols, and the golden light shone brightly again.

In the golden divine light of the Four Symbols Dao Diagram, the colors gradually changed, turning into two streams of clear air, one black and one white.

The wrinkles on the baby's face gradually smoothed out, becoming calm and beautiful.

Xuanzhen held the bronze sword to the sky with the tip of the sword facing upwards, and stretched out his hand towards the baby girl's body. The flesh and skin on the baby girl's body began to fade, turn white, and turned into a white powder.

Falling down - the corpse turned into a shiny skeleton again, with a little phosphorescence in the white powder.

Du Fang could hardly believe it, staring at the scene in front of him in shock:

These white phosphorescent lights formed the shape of a flower, constantly rotating and taking shape in the air.

Then, an even more incredible scene appeared:

Among the flower spirits, a newborn baby appeared.

The face was covered with wrinkles, the skin was rosy, and the child's body quickly stretched out:

A three-year-old child with a handsome face and a feminine aura gradually took shape, floating in the black and white air, and slowly rotating.

At this moment, the child's body seemed to have grown by three years.

Sweat kept dripping from Xuanzhen's face. He stretched out his hand and pressed down, pushing the child's body towards the extreme point where the yin and yang lines intertwined.

His body began to tremble and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Xuan Zhen forced himself to stand up, and purple air continued to emanate from his body, becoming thicker and thicker, covering his entire body in purple air.

Du Fang and Li Qingshuang saw this strange scene they had never seen before. Their mouths opened so wide that an egg could almost fit in them. Their eyes were wide open and they dared not breathe.

Little by little, the child's body was finally, slowly, pressed into the extreme point of the Dao diagram.

Suddenly——

The Qiankun Qingqi Diagram erupted with a massive and majestic wave of energy, sending the three flying. The Dao Diagram pierced through the dark clouds, soaring against the nine heavens, straight into the sky.

Xuanzhen stood up and watched the purple air in the east break through the cloud stream. Seven colorful clouds gathered from the sky and rushed into the Taoist diagram.

A strong wind suddenly arose, stirring up the colorful clouds on Lingxiao Mountain, but the Dao map remained like a deep abyss and a steep mountain, not moving at all.

The wind and clouds are turbulent, and the sky and earth are rustling.

Finally, the clouds dissipated, and above the nine heavens, the Dao diagram shrank to the size of a washbasin, floating down.

Xuan Zhen flew up, holding the Taoist map in his hand, and landed on the pavilion. His face was rosy, and his expression was full of ecstasy that could not be concealed. When he landed, his eyebrows were suddenly twisted into a knot.

The Qiankun Qingqi Diagram was dim and without a trace of divine light, completely different from the divine artifacts recorded in ancient books.

A huge sense of loss instantly swept over Xuanzhen's whole body.

His legs gave way and he fell to the ground, his face pale, as if he was in more pain than if his father had died. He muttered, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Li Qingshuang saw the blood on his master's chest and his pale face, and shouted, "What's wrong, Master?"

Xuanzhen's face was filled with pain: "It still fell short..."

Li Qingshuang felt sorry for him and was about to help him up when suddenly—

The dim Dao diagram before his eyes separated and dissipated, turning into flying ash. From the black extreme, two streams of clear air, one black and one white, emerged, condensing and swirling in the air.

When the black and white energy dissipated, everyone gasped:

A baby with a feminine aura, a peaceful face, naked, was hanging above the table.

Xuanzhen sat on the ground, looking dejected. "A lifetime of hard work, and in the blink of an eye, it was all gone. Could it be that even Heaven cannot tolerate the existence of such a heaven-defying divine object?"

Li Qingshuang asked tentatively, "Master, have we... failed?"

"The Qiankun Qingqi Diagram dissipated, and the great Dao of heaven and earth on the diagram was absorbed by this child. We didn't refine the spirit of the artifact, but instead created a demon fetus that will bring disaster to the world!"

"This is just a dead baby, it's not even breathing. How is this possible?" Li Qingshuang was very skeptical.

Upon hearing this, Xuanzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and the dejection on his face was replaced by excitement. He jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Yes, we haven't failed yet. This child is our hope!"

Li Qingshuang thought his master had gone crazy and shouted, "Master!"

Xuan Zhen looked up to the sky and laughed, "Gan Jiang and Mo Ye forged their swords with their flesh. Such divine objects of heaven and earth must also be made of flesh. Only flesh can bear the great Dao of heaven and earth. We were wrong, utterly wrong!"

Li Qingshuang and Du Fang looked at each other worriedly. Xuanzhen was obviously hit by the failure and was talking nonsense.

Du Fang glanced at the dead baby and said worriedly, "This child is just a dead thing..."

This reminded Xuanzhen immediately, and he shouted, "Yes, yes, there is one thing missing!"

"What's missing?" Li Qingshuang asked hurriedly.

Taoist Xuanzhen did not answer, restrained his expression, and suddenly looked at Du Fang who was standing not far away.
