Chapter 605: Spiritual Sword Immortal and Elder Xinran

"Three days have passed, and finally the toxins in the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon Pearl have been removed, returning it to its original color."

The dragon pearl, like a night‑glowing pearl, flickered with bright light.

These three days, Chen Chuyang used a thunder tribulation bombardment, undergoing three days of thunder‑tribulation cleansing; the toxins on the dragon pearl were removed, which was quite difficult, and only because he mastered thunder techniques and the tribulation method could he be so extravagant.

For others, achieving this step is unlikely.

Thunder tribulation is a matter of chance, not pursuit; its occurrence in this world is even rarer. This dragon pearl is too precious to use directly, its effect is modest, and for his current cultivation and body, forging it into a weapon is more practical.

After being strengthened by the Wild Dragon Snake internal pill, his body and flesh have already surpassed humanity. As his cultivation rises, Chen Chuyang's physique continually improves; the Hunyuan Dao Scripture cultivates essence, qi, and spirit, and the body is part of it. With each breakthrough, the flesh becomes immensely powerful.

"Next, I will carve out a space for the dragon pearl, turning this pearl into a spatial weapon."

"If I can directly open a cavern, that would be perfect."

A cavern is a higher‑grade space; it can store more items and, like this world, cultivate various spiritual herbs.

Of course, reaching that step demands a great price and requires continual cultivation and creation.

That does not trouble him; he has also mastered the Way of Space and opens it directly.

The space opening began with a speck, then continued expanding; Chen Chuyang opened it bit by bit, like pioneering, enlarging and stabilizing the space, then infusing spiritual energy, altering it gradually.

At first the space was tiny, less than the size of a palm; as Chen Chuyang accelerated the opening, it grew to the size of a mountain peak and kept expanding. His experience and mastery increased, making subsequent openings easier.

This is an alternative method of forging artifacts, a special way to craft spatial weapons, unlike ordinary forging methods.

Very different.

It consumes even more spiritual power, but his soul is strong enough to fear none of this drain.

Another day passes.

Inside the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon Pearl, he has opened an entirely new space.

The space is vast—very, very large.

Comparable to the whole Longshe Cheng, it already has cavern scale. Chen Chuyang halted further expansion and instead solidified the space, swiftly imprinting a Formation with both hands. For now it is sufficient for use; it will be gradually enlarged later.

Not rushing at this moment, Chen Chuyang infused his true qi, drawing spiritual energy from Longshe Shan, injecting it, along with spring water, together.

Spiritual stones were poured in; the initial input was massive.

Chen Chuyang was not stingy at all; this is his cavern weapon.

Besides the space, the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon Pearl can also capture various living beings, possessing great offensive power.

It balances attack and defense, and is mainly used as a tool.

"Hoo hoo."

As his final Formation imprint finished and numerous resources were invested, the space stabilized.

No longer need to fear collapse; the interior of the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon Pearl becomes an independent space.

One step remains: to connect with the outside world, allowing it to draw external spiritual energy on its own, without his supplementation.

This step appears simple, but in reality it is the hardest.

Chen Chuyang rested briefly; half an hour later he opened the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon Pearl's connection to heaven and earth. In an instant, he sensed the interior space filling up as the spiritual energy was drawn out.

The Ten Thousand Poison Dragon Pearl itself can gather heavenly and earthly spiritual energy; this design is perfectly flawless.

At least, in Chen Chuyang's eyes, the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon Pearl is the pinnacle of his forging technique, its complexity second only to the Hunyuan Bell.

A supreme Spiritual Artifact, it is his first supreme Spiritual Artifact, a notch above the Hunyuan Bell.

The Ten Thousand Poison Dragon Pearl itself is fearless; a supreme Spiritual Artifact is merely basic.

"Higher than the Hunyuan Bell's level, it hasn't disappointed me."

"The Hunyuan Bell's enhancement must also accelerate."

The corpse of the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King is a treasure; Chen Chuyang packed it up and brought it back.

A portion of the blood was poured into the Ascending Dragon Pool, hastening its fermentation.

Another portion was used to nourish this Ten Thousand Poison Dragon Pearl; being one entity, the pearl is indiscriminate, and after devouring, this is the current state.

It is both a weapon and a dragon pearl; the combination pleases Chen Chuyang greatly.

"Truly a perfect work, but alas, it cannot go further."

A holy artifact is not so easily achieved.

A supreme Spiritual Artifact is already a treasure of this world.

He stores the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon Pearl in his dantian, using true qi for continual cleansing and expanding the space.

He took out the Hunyuan Bell, and Chen Chuyang refined it again.

He infused the Demon King's bones and husk, strengthening the Hunyuan Bell's power.

The Hunyuan Bell accepts all comers, directly devouring.

He imprinted another Formation and refined it again; the Hunyuan Bell's power surged.

He stored it, then took out the Dragon Bone Sword, performed the same procedure, enhancing the refinement.

Two double‑hours later, a brand‑new Dragon Bone Sword emerged, its Dragon Might denser.

This time, fused with the Demon King's bones and essence blood, it exuded a terrifying pressure.

The Dragon Might roared; the Wild Dragon Snake alone is inferior to the Demon King, and their fusion makes the Dragon Bone Sword even more powerful than before.

Chen Chuyang was very satisfied, put it away, and still held a large amount of the Demon King's corpse—bodies as big as a mountain peak—all of which he collected, reluctant to mess with them; aside from some charred parts, those are also quite valuable, you know.

Having finished all this, Chen Chuyang pressed on and began Pill Refining.

The Dragon Blood Pill needs to be refined again; he has little left in hand.

He upgrades again, starting to refine the second‑level upgraded Dragon Blood Pill.

Ignite the furnace.

Refine.

The Pill Fire rises.

Spirit Sword Sect

Under a certain earth cave

In the darkness, the bound Xinran Zhanglao, his body covered in chains.

Limbs, neck, all entwined by chains; those chains engraved with many formation patterns, not ordinary chains, but forged from thousand-year cold iron, can destroy the body, suppress true qi, making cultivation impossible.

The cold breath continually invades the body, disturbs your viscera, making you a cripple.

Over time, you naturally become a cripple.

The malicious intent is truly vicious.

Xinran Zhanglao lifts his head, staring at the person before him, the slope emanating Xinran Zhanglao coldly gazes.

That gaze, colder than the cold air.

Lingjian Zhenren stands with hands behind his back, calmly gazing.

"Junior sister, why would you do this? Senior brother treats you well, why rebel against me?"

"We join forces, controlling the Spirit Sword Sect—isn't that good? Why do this?"

Lingjian Zhenren shakes his head, full of frustration that iron won't become steel.

Very disappointed in the junior sister, attempting to persuade the junior sister before him.

As long as the junior sister nods, they remain senior and junior siblings, just as before.

"Pah."

Xinran Zhanglao directly spat saliva, almost hitting Lingjian Zhenren's face.

"Dog thing, you are not my senior brother, wanting me to bow my head, impossible."
