Chapter 1654

Xiao Mai: "Actually, the main reason is that the Green Robe is a heretical cultivator who uses poison, and his magic treasure is too weak. If you knew the orthodox Daoist methods of forging, you could re-forging it once—your points '120' could multiply several times over, and you could easily sell it for ten million points."

Zhou Qing: "Re-forging it? I'll learn a superior forging technique when I have time."

Saying this, he didn't shut off the livestream and began studying the Xuan Pi Pearl.

Xuan Pi: The valley spirit never dies; this is called Xuan Pi. The gate of Xuan Pi is called the root of heaven and earth.

The Xuan Pi Pearl is the most valuable thing on the Green Robe—more valuable than all his other possessions combined.

This Xuan Pi Pearl is a rare treasure, perfect for forging a Second Primordial Spirit—truly a rarity in the mortal world.

In fact, if he had enough points, Zhou Qing wouldn't want to forge a Second Primordial Spirit—he'd just buy the Divine Art of One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones.

That's far superior to the so-called Second Primordial Spirit.

Unfortunately, what he lacks right now is points, so he can only make do with the Xuan Pi Pearl for now.

He activated his true qi to cleanse the Xuan Pi Pearl, washing away the Green Robe's imprint.

To forge a Second Primordial Spirit, the vessel must be pure and flawless, with not the slightest flaw.

This step is crucial.

Immortal Martial true qi is pure and formidable.

Under Zhou Qing's refining, the originally dim and murky spiritual light of the Xuan Pi Pearl became pure and transparent, illuminating a three-foot radius with a warm, gentle aura.

Merely by its light shining, it stirred a sense of kinship in the heart.

This was precisely the vitality within the Xuan Pi Pearl.

It was precisely because of this pure vitality that one could sever a Second Primordial Spirit.

Seeing the moment was ripe, Zhou Qing followed the method of the Second Primordial Spirit, severing a sliver of his spirit and merging it into the Xuan Pi Pearl.

Instantly, the pearl's spiritual light transformed, taking on Zhou Qing's form.

Finally, even the Xuan Pi Pearl itself melted, turning its illusory form into reality—like a True Person, though the Second Primordial Spirit stood only half a foot tall, resembling a Nascent Soul in the cultivation system.

Chat group.

Han Paopao: "Zhou's world's cultivation path is fascinating. He instantly forged a Second Primordial Spirit resembling a Nascent Soul."

Ye Hei: "Of course it's fascinating—but it demands extraordinary talent. Refining essence into qi, qi into spirit, spirit returning to void, void merging with Dao—without a spiritual root, relying solely on innate constitution, nine out of ten cultivators get stuck at every bottleneck. By the way, Brother Zhou, would you like a spiritual root?"

Zhou Qing: "Spiritual root?"

Han Paopao: "That's probably a specialty of my world. A spiritual root is…"

Zhou Qing: "No thanks. Worlds differ—adding foreign things into one's body is dangerous. What if the world labels me as a being from another realm? Wouldn't I be at a massive disadvantage?"

Su Xiao: "That's true. By the way, how's your Second Primordial Spirit? Can it fight?"

Zhou Qing: "Don't even think about fighting—it's extremely weak. Right now, it only serves to preserve life and nourish the Primordial Spirit. It's just a minor technique among mortal cultivators; once I ascend, it'll probably become useless."

Zhang Taixuan: "No—if you have sufficient materials, you can refine it into an avatar equal in power to yourself. When you reach the Earth Immortal Realm, materials won't be lacking."

Zhou Qing: "That's true. Thank you, Dao Jun, for the reminder. Hmm, enemies are approaching—I must face them."

Su Xiao: "Brother Taixuan, if Zhou Qing wipes out the demonic sects like this, won't Heaven object? I remember you said the Shushan world thrives on the coexistence of orthodox and demonic paths. Wiping out the demonic sects should violate the Heavenly Dao, right?"

Zhang Taixuan: "This isn't the Shushan world. There's just a Shushan here. Don't forget—this is a primordial world. The demonic paths were eradicated by Heaven's enforcers. When Zhou Qing wipes out the demonic paths here, Heaven won't care!"

Su Xiao: "That's true."

…

Zhou Qing's thought stirred, and his Second Primordial Spirit transformed into a streak of spiritual light, merging into his Niwan Palace.

Instantly, the lingering pain in his spirit from splitting his Primordial Spirit vanished.

Moreover, nourished by the Xuan Pi Pearl, his Primordial Spirit grew even stronger.

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he detected their arrival—a pair of sword cultivators.

Pure sword light enveloped them as they landed directly on Baiman Mountain.

"Zhou Qing, you roam unchecked, slaughter countless lives—you deserve death! Come out and face your end!"

Zhou Qing sneered: "Two minor cultivators dare speak such grandiose words?"

As he spoke, he stepped out from his cave dwelling.

His demeanor was calm, his aura mighty—so startling that the newcomers recoiled half a step, their two embedded flying swords vibrating intensely, pushed to their utmost.

"You're Zhou Qing?"

"We are sword immortals of Shushan. How dare you boast before us?"

Zhou Qing sneered: "If this were mere empty words, you wouldn't be so tense now. Your flying swords are fine—they belong to me now. Hand them over."

True qi coalesced into shape, reaching toward the two.

The two were shocked and hastily summoned their swords to slash, trying to sever the solidified true qi.

Ding!

But when their swords struck the true qi, they rang like metal clashing against metal—leaving them speechless with shock.

The Shushan sword immortals cultivate the Nine Heavens Mystic Scripture—their true qi and magic power are among the finest in the world. 2.5

Even so, their true qi could never block a flying sword.

Yet this man, merely by controlling true qi, blocked their swords and pushed them into a disadvantage.

"How is this possible!"

"This isn't cultivation at all!"

As they thought this, they saw true qi like a dragon drag both flying swords back to the man's front.

Zhou Qing caught the two swords, suppressed them with true qi, and tossed them into Shangcheng.

"Hmph. Since Shushan has ties to my friend, I'll spare you this time. If you dare return, I'll cut you down without mercy."

With that, a crimson sword light wrapped around him, and he vanished.
