Chapter 1196: Refining the Zhou Tian Star Banner (Second Update, requesting everything)

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen returned to Langya Kingdom together, and no accidents occurred on the way.

There was no help for it; even a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer would likely have to weigh whether they could withstand the malice of the Heavenly Dao, and the key was that even if they did withstand it, they would likely be held in spite by the Heavenly Dao.

According to Li Zhangsheng, the Heavenly Dao of this world is definitely narrow-minded.

Of course, if one were imprisoned, that would be a different matter.

In short, there were no waves on the journey.

The moment he returned to Yecheng in Langya Kingdom, Li Zhangsheng saw Yan Wanling; her mouth was bleeding, her face was pale, and she had suffered certain injuries.

Unsurprisingly, after being teleported back, Yan Wanling had been treated unfairly.

"Kun King, how are your injuries?"

"I'm fine, I won't die!" Yan Wanling wiped the blood from her mouth and continued with a wry smile: "Well, now we are in the same camp; if there is anything you need me to do, just order it!"

Originally, Yan Wanling had still held onto hope, thinking that after returning, the Xuan Emperor would restore her lifespan, but she ended up being plotted against by the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong. Even though Yan Wanling had been prepared, she still suffered heavy losses, having two of her main Demon Pets killed on the spot, and finally managed to shake off Dou Cangqiong by relying on Li Zhangsheng's contingency plan.

After her last hope was stripped away, Yan Wanling could be said to be homeless; her heart was almost filled with despair, and she only saw a glimmer of hope in Li Zhangsheng.

Yes, a glimmer!

In Yan Wanling's view, even if Li Zhangsheng progressed rapidly and had the Human Emperor backing him, if the Xuan Emperor was determined to kill him, there was no hope to speak of.

Li Zhangsheng chatted with Yan Wanling for a while, and just as he was about to take Yan Wanling into the Yecheng Imperial Palace, a mirror suddenly appeared in the firmament.

Queen Mother Mirror!

Li Zhangsheng recognized it at a glance; it was worthy of being the Queen Mother Mirror that could monitor the world, to have locked onto their specific location so quickly.

The Queen Mother Mirror still possessed some limitations, such as being unable to monitor other planes and having its line of sight blocked by Forbidden Arrays.

Even so, if his whereabouts were constantly monitored by the Queen Mother Mirror, his range of activity would undoubtedly shrink significantly, and it would be possible for them to find the location of the Plane Teleportation Array.

This also filled Li Zhangsheng with a sense of crisis; just as he prepared to take action to destroy the avatar of the Queen Mother Mirror, the Queen Mother Mirror suddenly vanished.

Li Zhangsheng shook his head; within this three-month protection period, he had to improve his strength as much as possible.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng made a decision and began to contact Luo Yuanjun remotely, hoping that he could contact the Astrological Observatory of the Mucang Empire to monitor the general whereabouts of the Xuan Emperor.

Once there was news of the Xuan Emperor leaving the country, he was to be told immediately.

The Astrological Observatory is a monitoring agency established by the Human Emperor, headed by a Double-Character King; Li Zhangsheng had once heard Luo Yuanjun say that he had a good friendship with the Commander of the Astrological Observatory.

If he could obtain the help of the Astrological Observatory, Li Zhangsheng's safety would be guaranteed to a certain extent.

"Rest assured, leave this matter to me!"

Luo Yuanjun did not refuse; he was eager for Li Zhangsheng to owe him more favors, and the key was that this was no loss to him anyway.

Li Zhangsheng ended the contact, but he was a cautious person and would not place all his hopes on Luo Yuanjun.

He prepared to re-refine the Zhou Tian Star Banner to improve the grade of the Star Banners as much as possible; only in this way would the power of the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array be greatly increased.

To this end, Li Zhangsheng prepared Demon Emperor-grade Star Beast Material, Bi'an Dragon Horn, and Golden Winged Great Peng Claw and Tooth and feathers, hoping that all 365 Star Banners would reach the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade, and the Ziwei, Sun, and Moon banners would reach the World Wonder grade.

When that time truly came, even if the Xuan Emperor arrived in person, the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array should be able to hold for a breath or two, and that amount of time would be enough for him to perform a plane teleportation.

To be safe, in addition to the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array, Li Zhangsheng would also set up several other powerful Forbidden Arrays.

In the Refining Room, Li Zhangsheng took out the Dragon Phoenix Burning Heaven Cauldron and began to prepare for refining.

The first thing he did was to throw the two most difficult-to-dissolve Bi'an Dragon Horns into the cauldron.

By the time the two Bi'an Dragon Horns began to melt, more than an hour had already passed.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng threw in all the remaining precious materials.

After another half hour, these materials were finally completely melted, turning into a pool of colorful liquid.

Only then did Li Zhangsheng throw all 365 Star Banners into the Dragon Phoenix Burning Heaven Cauldron.

For a master refiner, as long as the materials were sufficient, batch-refining Strange Treasures of the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade was completely effortless.

With the high temperature of the Dragon Phoenix Burning Heaven Cauldron, in less than half a minute, this batch of Star Banners, which were only of the Heavenly Essence Grade, all melted, turning into a pool of liquid shimmering with rich starlight.

The Crown Fire Phoenix increased its fire output, and suddenly, a large amount of colorful mist rose from the pool of liquid.

When Li Zhangsheng had refined the Star Banners before, he had used materials that were not of a very high grade, and in order to save materials, he had only refined some of the impurities at the time.

To increase the rank of the Star Banners, in addition to adding high-grade materials, one also had to refine the impurities as much as possible.

After a quarter of an hour, the liquid formed by the 365 Star Banners became pure and flawless, though its volume had shrunk significantly, to less than 1/3 of what it was before.

Although the volume had shrunk drastically, the star power contained within had not diminished much.

The next moment, under the influence of countless Silver Seal Scripts, the colorful liquid began to fuse, eventually turning pale purple.

Under Li Zhangsheng's control, the pale purple liquid turned into individual flagpole shafts, while the liquid containing star power turned into the banners, and the two combined perfectly.

Next was the more troublesome part; Li Zhangsheng needed to make each Star Banner form a corresponding Restriction so that it could connect with the corresponding Primordial Star.

Due to the materials, these Star Banners could accommodate a larger number of more powerful Restrictions.

Five minutes later, Li Zhangsheng completed the first Star Banner.

The moment it was completed, the Star Banner vibrated and resonated with a certain Primordial Star in the sky.

The next moment, the Primordial Star sent down a pillar of starlight, completely enveloping the Star Banner, making the star power within the Star Banner increasingly rich.

It took a full three days for Li Zhangsheng to finally complete the work of re-refining the Star Banners.

Looking at the 365 Star Banners floating in front of him, a satisfied smile appeared on Li Zhangsheng's weary face.

As expected, the three Star Banners of Ziwei, Sun, and Moon barely reached the Lower-Grade World Wonder level, and the remaining 362 Star Banners were all at the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade; if the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array were set up, its power would be more than ten times stronger than before.

As Li Zhangsheng's mind moved, the 365 Star Banners completely surrounded the entire palace.

In addition, there were several other powerful Forbidden Arrays; these were set up by Ning Bizhen.

As for Yan Wanling, Li Zhangsheng sent her to the Elf Plane to avoid disaster, and Yan Wanling used information regarding the Xuan Emperor as repayment.
