Chapter 1041: Qingtian Jade Sword Arm

She flicked her finger, and the two green‑jade bone swords radiating a terrifying sharpness slowly flew toward Han Wuxian.

"The method of melting is here." At the same time, a speck of starlight imbued with arcane data sank into Han Wuxian's forehead. The data contained the secret technique of using his own Golden Sun power as a furnace, the star‑glow bone structure as a base, and drawing the power of the local star array to forcibly melt these two primeval weapons into his arms! The process is extremely perilous; a single misstep would mean his arms shredded and his life and Dao extinguished!

Han Wuxian stared at the two hovering green‑jade bone swords before him, feeling the bone‑chilling sharp intent and the deadly melting technique in his mind, and instantly understood.

The Qinghe Fairy saved him not for any other reason, but because his current state and the conditions he possesses happen to match her need to obtain this "Qingtian Jade Sword Arm" Accumulation Device!

She needs a powerful "weapon," and she herself is the chosen "vessel" to bear and forge that weapon!

Utilize! Bare‑faced utilization!

A cold surge of anger and humiliation rose in Han Wuxian's heart, but he forced it down. The situation outweighs the person; Qinghe Fairy's strength is unfathomable, and she may have ulterior motives here—perhaps the figure he saw earlier was only an illusion, and the true Qinghe Fairy lies within this.

If this "Qingtian Jade Sword Arm" can truly be forged, it is crucial for his rescue mission and his power increase.

"What do you need me to do?" Han Wuxian looked up, staring into the Qinghe Fairy's deep, indifferent eyes, his voice low.

"Forge this arm and command its power," the Qinghe Fairy said lightly, "Then follow me into the Eye of the Returning to Void to retrieve the Star Map Core sealed by the Power of Ten Thousand Transformations Returning to Void. Only by mastering the core can one truly wield the Star Map, fathom its mysteries, and even... reverse the Returning to Void Power to rescue the one you wish to save." Her gaze seemed to point at Han Wuxian, yet also merely stated a fact.

Star Map Core! Reverse the Returning to Void Power!

Han Wuxian's heart shook violently! Is this the Qinghe Fairy's true goal?

And forging the Qingtian Jade Sword Arm is clearly to confront an even more terrifying danger within the Eye of the Returning to Void!

This is a transaction.

A deal that stakes one's own self in exchange for power and a chance to save others.

Han Wuxian inhaled deeply, a flash of resolve in his eyes. He no longer hesitated, reaching out to grasp the two hovering green‑jade bone swords! The swords were ice‑cold and bone‑piercing, their sharp intent seeming to pierce his skin!

"Yun Li, protect me!" he said gravely, then sat cross‑legged at the center of the massive star array, placing the two green‑jade bone swords on his knees.

Yun Li nodded heavily, forcing himself to endure his injuries and the oppressive pressure here, retreating to the edge of the array, vigilantly guarding.

Han Wuxian closed his eyes and, following the secret method taught by the Qinghe Fairy, fully activated his Golden Sun Scorching Heaven Force! Deep in his dantian, the Golden Sun power merged with the primordial Great Sun Burning Star Iron erupted with a thunderous blast! The scorching, domineering golden flame surged through his body, instantly turning him into a blazing golden furnace!

At the same time, on his arms, dark‑golden star‑glow bone structures burst into dazzling light! Countless tiny star‑light points streamed from the bones like the toughest threads, actively winding toward the two green‑jade bone swords on his knees!

Buzz!

The entire star array seemed to activate! The vast, pure stellar power cascaded like a waterfall, pouring into Han Wuxian's body, becoming a fuel and solid foundation for the melting!

Heh heh heh!

The terrifying high‑temperature golden flame collided instantly with the primeval sharp sword intent and icy law force contained in the green‑jade bone swords! A screeching, burning, corrosive sound rang out! Han Wuxian's arm skin carbonized and peeled away in an instant, revealing the underlying arm bones shimmering with dark‑gold star‑glow! Under the dual impact of the golden flame and the jade sword intent, the bones emitted a nauseating moan, and cracks reappeared!

Excruciating pain! Even beyond the previous golden‑flame nirvana pain! It felt as if billions of red‑hot blades were simultaneously slicing and melting his bones! In his sea of consciousness, the lingering ferocious will of the primeval sword mantis and the icy sword intent surged, trying to tear his awareness apart!

"Ugh—aaah!" Han Wuxian let out a suppressed, strangled roar from his throat, his body trembling violently in the golden flame, sweat instantly vaporizing, every muscle coiled like a dragon!

"Hold your mind steady! Draw the star array's power, use the star‑glow as a bridge, and forcibly fuse!" The Qinghe Fairy's cool voice rang like an icy spring in Han Wuxian's sea of consciousness, bearing an undeniable force that temporarily suppressed the ferocious will's impact.

Han Wuxian bit his tongue to the bone, blood mixing with the burning golden flame. He frantically drove his will, guiding the vast stellar power poured by the array, like the finest carving knife, using his own arm's star‑glow bone structure as the core, forcibly melting and embedding the two unruly, destruction‑sharp green‑jade bone swords, inch by inch, into his arm bones!

This is an unimaginably perilous, unimaginably painful process! As if forcibly forging two peerless lethal swords into one's own bones.

Every inch of melting is accompanied by bone shattering and reshaping, a life‑or‑death battle between will and ferocious sword intent!

The star array's brilliance flared, fully enveloping Han Wuxian's tormented figure. Golden flame, jade‑green glint, and star‑glow interwove violently, forming a massive energy vortex.

At the vortex's core, Han Wuxian's aura alternated between ferocious beast‑like fury and feeble candle‑like flicker, wildly struggling on the brink between destruction and rebirth.

Yun Li watched tensely, cold sweat soaking his palms. The Qinghe Fairy stood silently beside him, her face beneath the sheer veil expressionless, her deep eyes fixed on the vortex's center, as if awaiting the birth of a peerless Accumulation Device.

Time passed amid the roar of pain and energy. After an indeterminate span, the raging energy vortex gradually calmed and contracted.

When the final strands of golden flame and jade glint merged into Han Wuxian's body, the star array's light slowly dimmed.

Sitting cross‑legged at the array's center, Han Wuxian slowly opened his eyes.

His arms had already undergone a dramatic transformation!

No longer flesh and blood, they had become two arm‑swords covered with dark‑gold star‑glow bone structures and flowing with green‑jade sheen... From shoulder blade to fingertip, they were entirely sheathed in a strange cyan‑gold substance that seemed a fusion of divine gold and fine jade!

The material was both incredibly hard and supple, its surface naturally etched with mysterious cyan runes, faintly exuding a cutting‑space sharp aura! The fingertips further extended three inches of green‑jade blade that glittered with a cold, forest‑like chill!

A powerful, fierce aura that seemed capable of cleaving stars radiated from these two "Qingtian Jade Sword Arms"! They were no longer mere limbs, but a peerless offensive Accumulation Device that fused the remnants of primeval ferocious beasts, the original sword intent of the Azure Heaven layer, the power of golden‑flame nirvana, and the essence of stellar bone.

Han Wuxian slowly lifted his newly‑born arm‑swords, feeling the world‑shattering power they contained and the fingertip‑like control they offered. His gaze was as sharp as a blade as he looked toward the Qinghe Fairy.

"The Six‑Turn Celestial Accumulation is complete," his voice rang with a metallic clang. "When shall we depart for the Eye of the Returning to Void?"
