109: Chapter 109: The Great Geng Thunder Sword Formation!

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Wei, but I am used to being alone. If it weren't for this geng essence, I wouldn't have risked coming here to make this deal with Brother Wei. Now that the deal is done, I should be on my way. Farewell."

Zhao Changsheng naturally couldn't stay in the Nine Kingdoms Alliance to serve as an Elder. As for the requests and promised benefits Wei Wuya mentioned, he didn't care about them at all.

Fundamentally, it was because his identity was too special; once exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

On the surface, it seemed like a massive Opportunity, but in reality, there were countless Cultivators in the shadows who wanted to eliminate him. Old Devil Hehuan was one of them.

That old Devil Head would surely find a way to put him to death, and at any cost.

In such a situation, unless Zhao Changsheng's head was squeezed by a door, he would never easily expose his identity.

Facing Zhao Changsheng's polite refusal, Wei Wuya gave a bitter smile and nodded. "Since that's the case, I won't say more. But if you have any needs in the future, Brother Zhao, just say the word. As long as it's within my power, I will not refuse in the slightest."

Wei Wuya's ability to make such a promise earned him some admiration from Zhao Changsheng, who nodded and said, "Then I shall thank Brother Wei in advance. Farewell."

Having said his farewells again, Zhao Changsheng stood up and left directly without staying for a moment.

Wei Wuya watched his figure disappear in the blink of an eye and couldn't help but sigh softly again. Then, his gaze fell entirely on the Storage Pouch at his waist.

With the monster beast materials in the pouch, the strength of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance would certainly recover significantly, or even reach a higher level... After leaving the city, Zhao Changsheng returned to Yellow Maple Valley at top speed.

He had many things to do now, among which refining his Lifebound Treasure was undoubtedly the most important and critical one.

At least for the current Zhao Changsheng, nothing was more urgent than refining and enhancing his Lifebound Treasure.

Although he had successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, his Lifebound Treasure had not yet been completely refined.

What he had refined previously was merely a prototype; now was the time to truly complete its refining. Once he succeeded, his strength would surely increase greatly.

If this were to happen to other Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, it would be simply fantastical.

The reason for this was entirely because Zhao Changsheng's progression speed was too fast, leaving him no time to prepare for the refining.

Under normal circumstances, who could Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage within several decades?

One must know that for an ordinary Core Formation Stage Cultivator to refine a Lifebound Treasure, it often takes twenty or thirty years, or even forty, fifty, or even a hundred years.

Some Core Formation Stage Cultivators might only have this one Lifebound Treasure in their entire lives; the difficulty of refining it can be imagined.

But Zhao Changsheng's situation was completely different. He had reached the Nascent Soul Stage in just a few decades. During this time, his mind was entirely focused on his Cultivation, and he had no leisure to refine his Lifebound Treasure.

Now that he had advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, it was naturally time to attend to this matter.

Looking at the entire Cultivation World, Zhao Changsheng might be the only one who refined his Lifebound Treasure after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage.

Of course, the Materials required to refine a Lifebound Treasure are also extremely rare—precious even for Zhao Changsheng, and for others, they are incredibly rare existences.

Take golden thunder bamboo for example; not only in the Mortal Realm, but even in the Spirit Realm, it is a world-renowned treasure.

Each stalk of golden thunder bamboo is worth over a hundred million Spirit Stones, and those are high-grade Spirit Stones. This is not something ordinary Cultivators can touch, and the chance of it appearing is minuscule.

Yet in Zhao Changsheng's hands, there were now more than thirty stalks.

In fact, his Lifebound Treasure had already been refined successfully; now he just needed to further enhance its power.

This Lifebound Treasure was an improved version of the Great Geng Sword Formation. It not only made up for the original flaws but also significantly increased its power.

Since the original owner of this sword formation could improve it, Zhao Changsheng naturally could as well, and he believed he had improved it quite well.

Since it was an improved Magic Treasure, its name naturally had to be changed—Great Geng Thunder Sword Formation!

Although only the word "Thunder" was added, it was enough to demonstrate the advancement of its power.

Zhao Changsheng did not intend to add other messy things to the sword formation to avoid affecting its spirituality. Therefore, he only needed to add the golden thunder bamboo and the recently acquired geng essence to it.

These two items were both essential, and no mistakes could be allowed.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to his Immortal Cave, Zhao Changsheng immediately set about the refining and enhancement.

As for his emergence from seclusion and his successful advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage, no one in the entire Yellow Maple Valley knew—and Zhao Changsheng had no intention of letting others know.

The impact of this matter was too significant. He really didn't want to be the focus of too many people and just wanted to continue hiding his strength.

This way, he could better pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger in the future and avoid attracting unnecessary trouble.

What Zhao Changsheng feared most right now was encountering some unforeseen changes that he couldn't handle himself. Only by possessing sufficiently strong power could he calmly resolve all troubles.

Once this Great Geng Thunder Sword Formation reached Perfection, he would have the strength to fight even if he encountered a Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator.

If supplemented with the Buddhas Fury Fire Lotus, he could completely win the battle or even kill the opponent.

In such a situation, there was naturally no need to worry about the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star anymore.

This was the source of his confidence. If he didn't have this confidence and trump card, he wouldn't be like this.

However, Old Demon Ji Yin still had to be killed—that old fellow's way of doing things really made him feel uncomfortable. Since he felt uncomfortable, there was no need for this old Devil Head to continue living in this world.

Now, Zhao Changsheng's sword formation had already been refined successfully; next, he just needed to add the geng essence to it.

To him, this was a simple matter and didn't require much worry.

Not long after, the geng essence had been added, significantly increasing the power of the sword formation, and Zhao Changsheng felt increasingly satisfied.

"Finally, the refining is completely successful! Now, it should be easy to kill that old Devil Head. However, I think it's better to let those two, master and disciple, fight each other first."

Zhao Changsheng stared at the crackling Great Geng Thunder Sword Formation in his hand, his face full of smiles.

Naturally, no one knew about his thoughts except himself.

After the sword formation was successfully refined, Zhao Changsheng immediately set off to return to the Chaotic Star Sea—he felt it was better to resolve the matter of Old Demon Ji Yin first.

Once he completely controlled the entire Extreme Yin Island, he would essentially have a solid foothold in the Chaotic Star Sea.

By then, whether it was the Star Palace or other forces, they would have little to do with him.

If the Star Palace insisted on threatening him, then they couldn't blame him for being unkind—now, he no longer needed to worry about the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star.

When Zhao Changsheng returned to the Wonderful Sound Sect, Zhou Yuan immediately brought some good news—the island had been found.
