Chapter 1270: Ning Bizhen Breaks Through (Second update, requesting everything)

Li Zhangsheng's face turned a bit paler, but as long as he rested for a few days, the lost vitality would recover as before.

The blood of a Double-Character King is naturally extraordinary; under the irrigation of a large amount of blood, golden patterns began to appear on the two sword boxes.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng formed a large number of Silver Seal Scripts and began to combine the Restrictions of the two sword boxes.

Li Zhangsheng's face grew increasingly pale, and veins even began to bulge; combining the Restrictions of both sword boxes simultaneously nearly pushed his spirit to its limit.

His Mental Power was rapidly depleted, then immediately restored by the Nine Apertures Dingyuan Pearl, until, just as it was about to bottom out, he finally completed the Restrictions for the two sword boxes.

However, this was not over yet; there was one final step.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng took out two gourds.

One was filled with Heavenly River Water; the so-called Heavenly River Water refers to the Nine Heavens Weak Water, which has been extremely difficult to obtain in the outside world since the Heavenly Realm was sealed.

This was brought over by Li Zhangsheng from the Star Palace; after all, the Star Palace is a part of the Heavenly Realm, so it naturally does not lack Heavenly River Water.

The other gourd was filled with Yellow Spring Water, which is produced in the Underworld and can be obtained as long as one can afford the price.

This was also the final step for the Lingxiao Sword Box; it must be tempered with special liquids of the same attribute, otherwise, it would lead to all previous efforts being wasted.

Li Zhangsheng opened the wooden stoppers of the two gourds; a liquid slightly tinged with silver rushed out from one, and a pale yellow liquid from the other, falling onto the two sword boxes respectively.

Sss—

The sound of water and fire clashing rang out, accompanied by a large amount of water vapor.

Li Zhangsheng directly shut off his five senses; these water vapors possessed certain negative effects, and although they did not affect him much, they were a nuisance nonetheless.

Once the tempering was complete, one purple and one yellow Lingxiao Sword Box rushed out from the Dragon Phoenix Burning Heaven Cauldron.

Apart from their colors, the two sword boxes were identical in form and power, and could be considered a combined Strange Treasure.

Judging from the energy fluctuations they emitted, both Lingxiao Sword Boxes had reached the Mid-grade Purple Mansion Rare Treasure level.

If it weren't for the fact that the materials taken from Bernama were inferior to an Emperor Rank Zixiao Qilin, the Lingxiao Sword Box made with the Zixiao Qilin as the main material could definitely have gone a step further, at least reaching the High-Grade Purple Mansion Rare Treasure level, or even Top-Grade Purple Mansion Rare Treasure.

However, Li Zhangsheng still held something in reserve; once he finds more suitable materials in the future, he can fully develop the Lingxiao Sword Box that uses the Zixiao Qilin as the main material.

In an instant, the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords rushed out from his Consciousness Sea and fell into their respective Lingxiao Sword Boxes.

Next, it was time for testing.

After the Sun True Monarch obtained the refining method for the Lingxiao Sword Box, he never managed to refine it because he lacked powerful sword-type Strange Treasures, so he shelved it.

Through constant testing, Li Zhangsheng discovered that it wasn't just a matter of inserting a sword into the Lingxiao Sword Box and pulling it out to significantly increase its power; it also had a certain cooldown time, otherwise, it would be too overpowered.

After testing, Li Zhangsheng found that the sword needed to be nurtured in the Lingxiao Sword Box for one hour before its power could be significantly increased upon being drawn.

The cooldown time might not seem long, but battles for a Monster Tamer are always very fast, and it is rare for a battle to last an hour; furthermore, Li Zhangsheng couldn't just keep the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords in the Lingxiao Sword Box and never use them.

Under such circumstances, it was almost equivalent to only being able to utilize the effect of the Lingxiao Sword Box once per battle.

Even so, Li Zhangsheng was very satisfied.

The power of the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords when combined is already immense, and with the significant bonus from the Lingxiao Sword Box, the resulting power can be imagined; it could definitely catch an enemy off guard.

Li Zhangsheng put away the sword boxes and swords, and after resting in the Secret Realm for a few days, he recovered to his peak state.

On this day, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen left the Secret Realm; he still had to accompany Bizhen on a long journey.

The reason was simple: Ning Bizhen's Mental Power had already reached the King Peak, and she could attempt to break through to become a Double-Character King.

Li Zhangsheng did not go to the territory of the Northland Dragon King Ao Run again; after all, if two Double-Character Kings were to break through in the same place one after another, it would be too conspicuous.

This time, Li Zhangsheng decided to let Ning Bizhen attempt her breakthrough in the South Sea.

The two left the Langya Kingdom without anyone noticing, and within an hour or two, they landed on a deserted island in the outer reaches of the South Sea.

Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, and the 365 Star Banners dispersed, landing in different positions.

Since the Sun Star Banner had been completely repaired, combined with Ning Bizhen's Taiyin Star Banner, Li Zhangsheng directly chose to replace them, causing the power of the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array to advance a step further.

The only flaw was that the Ziwei Star Banner was completely overshadowed by the Sun and Taiyin banners, giving one the feeling of a weak ruler and strong subjects.

Li Zhangsheng had no intention of re-refining the Ziwei Star Banner, mainly because he lacked suitable materials.

Most importantly, he believed that as long as he accumulated for a while longer, he would be able to seize the Star Emperor's inheritance, at which point the Ziwei Star Banner would naturally be a trivial matter.

Under Li Zhangsheng's Guard, Ning Bizhen began to attempt the breakthrough.

Just a few days ago, Li Zhangsheng had organized another collective breakthrough, though it was mainly focused on Ning Bizhen's Demon Pets.

During this breakthrough, Li Zhangsheng's Heavenly Heavy-Pupil Bird successfully broke through to the Saint Grade, becoming the third Saint Grade Temporary Spirit Pet after the Myriad Manifestation Spirit-Devouring Mouse and the Secondary Ancestral Red Dragon.

As for the Qilong, the only one among his main Demon Pets that had not yet reached the Saint Grade, it had not yet met the requirements for a breakthrough.

Ning Bizhen also had Demon Pets that completed their breakthroughs, and there were two of them: the Eight-Eyed Marten and the Bright Dragon Horse.

In this way, Ning Bizhen possessed a total of seven Saint Grade Spirit Pets, fully meeting the requirements for the breakthrough.

Given Ning Bizhen's conditions, although her success rate for the breakthrough could not compare to Li Zhangsheng's, it was still eight or nine out of ten.

As expected, after one hour, Ning Bizhen easily completed the breakthrough, becoming an even more noble Double-Character King.

At this moment, heaven and earth began to celebrate the birth of another Double-Character King.

During this process, it was naturally inevitable that the Xuan Emperor would manipulate a Queen Mother Mirror avatar to come and investigate.

Unfortunately, the Xuan Emperor was destined to see nothing.

Just like Li Zhangsheng, Ning Bizhen also chose to conceal it; her consciousness did not enter the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings, so for the time being, no one would know that she had become a Double-Character King.

Of course, this could only be hidden for one year.

After becoming a Double-Character King, Ning Bizhen's Secret Realm expanded rapidly, but even after it slowed down, it still had not become a Blessed Land, and it was still some distance away from the standards of a Blessed Land.

This was mainly due to her shallow foundation; Li Zhangsheng had also relied on a large number of Top-Grade Spiritual Roots to allow his Secret Realm to quickly become a Blessed Land.

Before leaving, Li Zhangsheng used the Great Deduction Technique to calculate, and after confirming that no one was monitoring them, he let Ning Bizhen stay in his Secret Realm while he secretly slipped off the deserted island.

Li Zhangsheng did not immediately return to the Langya Kingdom; he prepared to head to the Forgotten Strait to obtain the Star Dome Jade Liquid so that the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform could advance.
