He was already quite confident that he could forge a fifth-tier sword, and now, after receiving the blessing of the Dragon Soul and the Tears of the Goddess and briefly reaching the realm of "god", his confidence has naturally reached 120%.

He wanted to imprint the sense of control he had at this moment into his sword.

Even if you lose this powerful ability later, this insight will still remain.

This profound wisdom will endure forever, carried by the sword.

Such a sword is naturally a divine sword.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Qing quickly set up a furnace for forging swords in this underground space.

These things have long been stored in the system's furnace space; all that's needed now is to take them out and assemble them.

It didn't take too long.

Once everything was ready, Xu Qing raised his hand and activated the power of the roots of the Fusang Divine Tree. Instantly, the Fusang Divine Tree atop Mount Shu swayed once more, with many leaves fluttering down. Meanwhile, within the Yu Abyss, the roots of the Fusang Divine Tree burst forth with golden light.

The golden light swirled and quickly transformed into pure flames.

This is a Yang Soul!

It is also the essence of the sun!

Under Xu Qing's control, the golden flames quickly disappeared into the sword-forging furnace.

The flames have been lit, and the dark space has once again been illuminated by light, filled with golden light.

Only then did Xu Qing take out the materials for forging the sword.

His material was a sword, the Chi You Sword!

This sword was originally forged by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden for Chi You, and it was also the culprit that led Chi You to fall into the demonic path in the past.

After the Battle of Loulan, the sword was purified and became a blank slate.

But Xu Qing had no intention of using this sword.

The reason I've kept this sword is simply because its material is special and surpasses all others of its time.

He wanted to use this as raw material to forge his own fifth-tier sword.

Having been waiting for that opportunity, Xu Qing was naturally not going to miss it now that it had arrived.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Qing casually tossed it aside.

Chi You's sword cleaved through the void and flew straight into the blazing sword-forging furnace.

hum!

As the divine weapon entered the fire, a clear and resonant sword cry suddenly echoed through the earth.

The Yang Soul Fire instantly enveloped the entire longsword, and the supremely Yang and powerful divine fire continuously burned, tempered, and melted the sword's body.

Even though this sword is incomparably sturdy, it still softens and dissolves at a visible speed under the burning of this divine fire, which is the primordial fire of heaven and earth.

Just as the sword was about to completely melt, a phantom suddenly broke free from the depths of the sword.

That's the sword spirit of Chi You's sword!

Even though the sword spirit's demonic nature had been cleansed and it was now a blank sheet of paper, Xu Qing had no intention of keeping it.

The sins it committed cannot be atoned by simply washing away its demonic nature.

The sword spirit writhed and struggled violently in the furnace fire, its phantom constantly crashing against the furnace walls, emitting piercing and sharp sword cries, trying to break free from the scorching divine fire and escape its fate of melting and destruction.

At this moment, Xu Qing was still in a brief state of divine power, his aura surging and his pressure boundless.

He simply lowered his eyes, his gaze calmly sweeping over the struggling sword spirit in the furnace, without sorrow or joy, without the slightest ripple.

Before the true divine power of heaven and earth, the sword spirit of Chi You's sword was as insignificant as an ant trying to shake a tree or a firefly vying for brilliance.

With a flick of Xu Qing's palm, the frantically agitated and desperately struggling sword spirit was instantly imprisoned in the void, all its movements frozen in place.

Under the overwhelming power, she, like its master, struggled in vain and resisted in vain.

The next instant, the Yang Soul Fire rolled over and completely engulfed the sword spirit.

A faint, mournful cry vanished in an instant, and the spirit of the Chi You Sword was completely annihilated, disappearing into the world without a trace.

From this point on, the lineage of the ancient Chi You—its obsessions, demonic nature, mutilated body, sword, and sword spirit—all came to an end, and the ancient grudges were completely wiped clean.

Chapter 406 The Divine Sword is Finally Forged

At the summit of Mount Shu, the Fusang Divine Tree has been making a lot of noise lately.

In the beginning, along with the power of the Goddess's Tears and the Dragon Soul, the power purified Chi You's last demonic thoughts. The commotion caused at that time was self-evident. Although the commotion in the Yu Abyss was not particularly large, in the outside world, on the summit of Mount Shu, the Fusang Divine Tree was swaying wildly, as if it wanted to draw all the energy between heaven and earth and integrate it into itself.

This caused a disturbance, which resulted in the tremors of Mount Shu.

The entire Shushan tribe was filled with fear and unease, gazing at the divine tree from afar, and at one point believed that the end of the world was near.

Only the high priest of Mount Shu knew that these movements were related to Yu Yuan.

It was Xu Qing who created it in the Yu Yuan.

Although he had received divine revelation from the goddess, the High Priest of Shu Mountain still did not have a clear answer in his heart as to whether Xu Qing could solve the problem in Yu Yuan.

He was filled with immense fear.

Fortunately, in recent days, the Fusang Divine Tree has only shown unusual movements, and there has been no problem with the ground beneath its roots, which means that the things in the Yu Abyss do not seem to have rushed out.

But what exactly is in the Yu Abyss?

The High Priest of Mount Shu was extremely curious.

He was equally curious about what Xu Qing had done inside.

However, he ultimately restrained his curiosity and did not attempt to enter the Abyss of Yu.

Without having entered the Abyss of Yu, the High Priest of Loulan could only wait.

This wait lasted for three months.

An ordinary person could die if they didn't eat or drink for several days.

Xu Qing has been in Yu Yuan for three months now.

Did the other person die after three months without food?

Or is it that there is a water source at the bottom of Yu Yuan, and the enemy managed to survive by relying on those water sources?

But since they are all alive, why don't they leave Yu Yuan instead of staying there for three months?

Or is it that the other party is already unable to escape from Yu Yuan, or has already died in Yu Yuan?

As time went on, the doubts that the High Priest of Mount Shu had managed to suppress resurfaced, and in increasing numbers.

Gradually, he could only try his best to forget Xu Qing's existence.

Forget about the many abnormalities.

The so-called anomaly refers to the fact that the Fusang Divine Tree would become restless every now and then during these three months.

Its restlessness is like a gigantic sun, constantly drawing in the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy).

If it only happened once or twice, that would be fine, but over the course of three months, it has happened countless times.

The people of Shushan also need to cultivate themselves.

Their cultivation methods are somewhat similar to those of Taoism, which also utilize the primordial energy between heaven and earth to aid in cultivation. In other words, this is the purest path of Qi cultivators.

In essence, Taoism and the Shu Mountains are not that different.

They all originated from the time of the Yellow Emperor.

However, due to the recent unusual activity of the Fusang Divine Tree, it has become extremely difficult for the Shushan people to cultivate their Qi in peace.

Naturally, they also realized that the Fusang Divine Tree was the root of the problem.

Some people tried to ask the high priest the reason, but the high priest refused to say anything.

However, not everyone is stupid.

Some people still made the connection to Xu Qing.

After all, there were quite a few people behind the High Priest when he was talking to Xu Qing.

They immediately guessed that all of this was related to Xu Qing.

After going around in circles, they returned to the same question, and they were just as curious as the high priest.

What exactly did Xu Qing do?

What is the current situation?

……

Deep within the Yu Abyss.

Xu Qing continued to forge swords.

The fact that the sword was not forged in the system's furnace space resulted in an incredibly long forging time.

In the past, when Xu Qing forged swords, even fourth-order swords, it would take at most ten days, and sometimes as little as two or three days.

Forging swords continuously for three months is unprecedented.

But Xu Qing didn't feel tired at all; on the contrary, he was completely absorbed in it.

He seemed to understand why ancient swordsmiths worked tirelessly, day and night, to forge swords, and even died for them.

During his travels throughout the world, he searched for famous swords and traced their history through special means, witnessing the creation process of many swords. There were actually quite a few swordsmiths like him.

However, after three months, there have been quite a few results.

Under the relentless burning of the Yang Soul's power, the Chi You Sword melted, and its inner sword spirit transformed into a special essence, which merged into the raw materials. This made the materials used to forge the sword even more powerful and wondrous than when they first fell into the hands of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

Xu Qing then used this to forge a sword.

It took a long time to finally finish forging the sword blank.

After the sword blank is completed, the next step is to sharpen it and gather its spiritual energy.

Xu Qing also had his own thoughts on these two matters.

Although they are said to be two separate things, they are essentially one thing.
