262: Chapter 262 Heavenly Dao Secret Realm (Part 9)

The True Water Spirit looked at the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit in fear. After all, water and fire are incompatible, but since they were both spirits of heaven and earth, that conflict did not actually manifest.

Seeing the True Water Spirit's fearful look, the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit couldn't help but speak up: "Don't be afraid, I'm not going to eat you. Just follow me from now on."

The True Water Spirit hopped slightly, agreeing to the proposal.

Li Daoxuan was somewhat speechless, but since the True Water Spirit was willing to follow him, he would have a way to recover no matter how heavy his injuries were in the future.

He looked upward and saw the pillar of light appear again, and he plunged directly into the fifth trial.

The fifth trial was a world composed of countless exploded Flying Swords; these swords were completely scrapped.

Li Daoxuan searched carefully but could not find a single intact one.

Finally, he shook his head and sighed: "What a waste of heaven's gifts. So many Flying Swords, all destroyed. Such a pity, such a pity!"

Just as his voice fell, those destroyed Flying Swords suddenly flew up and charged toward Li Daoxuan to kill him.

Each Flying Sword was imbued with powerful Sword Intent, looking extremely formidable.

Li Daoxuan looked at the Flying Swords attacking him from all directions and was stunned. He hadn't expected this level to be so difficult.

However, he was not afraid. When it came to Flying Swords, who could compare to him?

With a wave of his hand, his top-grade immortal artifact Flying Sword appeared. With a flick of his finger, it transformed into countless swords, meeting the incoming blades from all directions.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

All the Flying Swords collided. The swords attacking Li Daoxuan were sent flying one after another, but the strands of Sword Intent condensed once again, forming a single giant Flying Sword.

Li Daoxuan's expression became solemn as a sense of danger emanated from the Flying Sword condensed from Sword Intent.

While Li Daoxuan was thinking of a countermeasure, the top-grade immortal artifact in his hand suddenly began to tremble.

This trembling was not from fear, but from excitement.

The voice of the artifact spirit entered his mind, so excited it was almost incoherent.

"Sword Intent, it's actually Sword Intent! Quick, quick, refine it! As long as you refine it, I can become an existence beyond an Immortal Artifact—a Divine Artifact! There are very few of those even in the Immortal Realm!"

With a thought, Li Daoxuan realized that above Immortal Artifacts were Divine Artifacts. It seemed the top-grade immortal artifact Flying Sword in his hand wanted to increase its Rank.

However, Li Daoxuan did not know how to refine this Sword Intent, let alone how to upgrade the Rank of a top-grade immortal artifact.

Above the trial tower, the Old Man watching this scene couldn't help but smile.

"Heh, I hope this kid can comprehend something. As for refining this Sword Intent, that depends on whether the boy has the ability."

The time to clear the trial was unlimited, and the Old Man also hoped Li Daoxuan could comprehend some kind of Sword Intent.

After all, such a good prospect needed to be properly nurtured.

Li Daoxuan reached out his hand, grabbing directly toward the Flying Sword formed from Sword Intent.

One should not underestimate Li Daoxuan; his current physical strength was no weaker than a Medium Grade Immortal Artifact.

But just as he was about to grab the Flying Sword, a burst of Sword Qi radiated from it, slashing directly at Li Daoxuan's hand.

Sensing the aura of danger, Li Daoxuan quickly dodged, and the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit appeared directly in his hand.

The Fire Spirit suddenly split into more than a dozen flames, quickly surrounding the Flying Sword.

The scorching heat began to melt and refine the Flying Sword. Because of the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit's blockade, the sword lunged left and right but remained unable to break through the encirclement.

Li Daoxuan knew things were going well. As long as he could refine that Sword Intent and integrate it into his top-grade immortal artifact, he would have a Magic Treasure that surpassed an Immortal Artifact.

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but get excited.

The top-grade immortal artifact in his hand flew out, plunging into the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit to battle the Flying Sword condensed from Sword Intent.

Under the control of the artifact spirit, the power of the top-grade immortal artifact was quite good, and for a moment, it fought the Sword Intent to a standstill.

Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Barring any accidents, as long as there is enough time, this Sword Intent can be completely refined."

"A Divine Artifact... I wonder what a Divine Artifact is actually like."

Li Daoxuan's eyes glowed with anticipation.

Above the Trial Grounds, the Old Man saw this and stroked his beard, saying, "Not bad, not bad at all. Quite impressive."

He hadn't expected the other party to actually find a treasure capable of refining Sword Intent, and he was full of praise.

Although integrating this Sword Intent wouldn't turn the Flying Sword into a Low Grade Divine Artifact, it could become a semi-divine artifact.

A semi-divine artifact was already considered an extremely powerful treasure in the Immortal Realm. Even an Immortal Emperor might not possess one; they were treasures usually only held by Immortal Venerable experts.

Watching the two sides fight, the joy on Li Daoxuan's face grew more intense.

Because the Flying Sword and the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit had already gained the upper hand. Next, they only needed to completely suppress the Sword Intent and let the top-grade immortal artifact Flying Sword devour it.

The battle continued. Li Daoxuan ignored them and continued to integrate the Cultivation Technique that could reach the Immortal Emperor level.

The Great Ocean Boundless Sutra became even more powerful. After integrating this technique, it could certainly be used to Cultivate to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

But Li Daoxuan was unwilling to just Cultivate like this with a Great Ocean Boundless Sutra that had only integrated one technique.

If he could obtain more Cultivation Techniques here and fuse them into one powerful technique, it would be perfect.

Just as the Great Ocean Boundless Sutra became a technique capable of reaching the Immortal Emperor level, the battle in the fifth trial was nearing its end.

The Sword Intent merged bit by bit into the top-grade immortal artifact Flying Sword. The Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit continuously forged the Immortal Artifact and the Sword Intent, making the Fusion of the two more perfect.

Above, the Old Man saw this and smiled with relief.

"It seems this kid is indeed a talent worth molding. However, he seems to be very short on Cultivation Techniques. In that case, I'll give you a few sets of techniques in this trial."

Seeing Li Daoxuan holding onto that technique that could only reach the Immortal Emperor level, the Old Man frowned slightly and thought to himself.

Ultimately, he concluded that Li Daoxuan lacked techniques, which was actually a correct conclusion.

After all, Li Daoxuan had always been using the Great Ocean Boundless Sutra, which he had fused together from various techniques he had obtained, to Cultivate.

He didn't have a Spiritual Root to begin with, but now that he had achieved Immortal Ascension and attained an immortal body, it didn't matter if he had a Spiritual Root or not.

Regardless, what he absorbed now was Immortal Qi, and what he condensed was Immortal Spiritual Power. As long as he had an immortal body, it was enough.

"Swoosh!"

The Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit suddenly returned from the sky. The aura of the top-grade immortal artifact Flying Sword surged, quickly becoming a semi-divine artifact.

The Flying Sword instantly flew above Li Daoxuan and stopped respectfully in front of him.

If not for Li Daoxuan, it could never have been promoted toward a Divine Artifact. Even if it was just a semi-divine artifact, it was already enough.

After all, the Materials used to forge it were only so good. If it wanted to upgrade again, it would have to be tempered with some high-quality Materials.

Li Daoxuan grabbed the Flying Sword and laughed: "Since you are already a divine sword, you can't be without a name. Shall I give you one?"

"I am Li Daoxuan, so I shall call you Taixuan. If there is a chance, I will continue to raise your Rank and make you an even more powerful Divine Artifact."

The artifact spirit of the taixuan sword quickly said respectfully: "Yes, from now on I shall be called the Taixuan Divine Sword. Thank you, Master, for the name!"
