Chapter 801 - 329: Five Elements Spirit Sword, Complete! (Part 3)

"Every time the Void Abyss opens, Northern Cold seems to get thrown into chaos for a while. Their Ten Thousand Beasts Sect might not even have the mind to bother with us."

When Chu Ning said this, Bai Ling couldn’t help but start muttering.

"Sigh, you human cultivators are far too complicated."

Hearing Bai Ling’s words, Chu Ning couldn’t help but laugh in spite of himself.

When has the Demon Race ever been simple? Otherwise, that Snow Mist Valley incident thirty years ago wouldn’t have happened.

At this moment Chu Ning once again activated the array, concealing the sea island and cave mansion until they vanished from sight.

He judged that he would be able to cultivate in peace for a period of time, and thus needed to deal with the Essence Soul of that Purple Crowned Jade Water Flood Dragon as soon as possible.

This Water Spirit Sword also needed to be refined as early as possible; once he formed a true Five Elements Sword Array, he could further raise his strength.

Moreover, this sword array was not something that could be directly driven just by refining five spirit swords; Chu Ning also had to cultivate a specialized driving technique.

The Five Elements Chaos Technique, as a cultivation technique, inherently carried two secret techniques.

One was offensive in nature, namely this Five Elements Sword Array.

The other was the body protection divine light that came with the technique, belonging to the defensive type.

This category of thing existed in many cultivation techniques.

And the two secret techniques within the Five Elements Chaos Technique both required cultivating the complete technique before they could display their full power.

The sword array would have to wait until the Water Spirit Sword was refined before he cultivated it, whereas this Five Elements Body Protection Divine Light, Chu Ning could take advantage of this period of time to begin attempting to cultivate.

Thus, during nearly a month that followed, Chu Ning once again entered secluded cultivation, shutting his ears to all matters of the outside world.

On this day, Chu Ning was inside the cultivation room; in front of him, a small flood dragon was wrapped within a ball of five-colored radiance.

Compared to a month before, this small flood dragon looked no different in appearance.

But if one carefully examined its eyes, one would find that the little flood dragon’s gaze was clear, no longer containing the slightest ferocity or stray thoughts.

The entire small flood dragon seemed to be formed from the purest Water Spiritual Qi.

"It’s finally done!"

Chu Ning’s face showed joy at this moment; with a casual point of his finger, the little flood dragon obediently burrowed back into the scale.

After a full month, the Essence Soul of this Purple Crowned Jade Water Flood Dragon had already finished refinement.

It could now officially be used to refine that Water Spirit Sword.

Chu Ning then moved into the adjacent artifact refining room.

There was no Earth Fire here, but the Earth Vein Essence Fire Chu Ning had refined was condensed from the purest Earth Fire to begin with.

By making use of the array, he could achieve the effect of artifact refining while consuming an extremely small amount of Earth Vein Essence Fire.

This was different from when Chu Ning went to Ice Island Immortal City for alchemy some time ago.

The quantity of pills was large; if he used Earth Vein Essence Fire to refine them all the time, the consumption would be far too great.

Furthermore, alchemy was relatively commonplace; even if someone noticed something unusual, it wouldn’t be a big problem.

Artifact refining, however, was different. Most of his materials existed in only a single set, and he was refining them within his own cave mansion, which was much safer and more secure.

At this moment, Chu Ning arrived before the array he had long since set up.

Opening his mouth, he spat out; a ball of Earth Vein Essence Fire sprayed forth and landed beneath the artifact refining furnace.

Instantly, roaring flames sprang up under the furnace, no inferior to, and even surpassing, the purest Earth Fire.

Chu Ning then took out the artifact refining materials he had long prepared, piece by piece.

He truly began the refining of the Water Spirit Sword.

Chu Ning had previously refined four spirit swords; with regard to the refining technique for these Five Elements Spirit Swords, he was already incomparably practiced.

Although this time he was using different materials, he was already thoroughly familiar with the properties of these materials.

First, he used the Nine Luo Refining Essence Method to remove impurities and enhance the essence of each piece of material, completing the essence refining.

Then he refined the various materials and formed the sword embryo.

Only at this point did Chu Ning take out two pieces of material.

One was the Black Profound Gold he had cut off that black chain using Earth Vein Essence Fire.

The other was the Profound Spirit Earth Crystal he had obtained from the hands of that Black Death Demon back then.

As an ancient artifact refining material famed alongside Black Profound Gold, Profound Spirit Earth Crystal could greatly increase the toughness of a magical treasure.

After studying it for a while, Chu Ning discovered that its properties did not conflict with the materials used to refine the Five Elements Spirit Swords.

After thinking it over, he decided to blend it into this Water Spirit Sword and give it a try.

If successful, he could even use a special method to reintroduce it into the previous four spirit swords.

Not much Profound Spirit Earth Crystal was needed; otherwise, while it increased toughness, it might reduce the strength of the spirit sword.

Chu Ning divided the Profound Spirit Earth Crystal into five portions.

Only then did he first pick up the Black Profound Gold and begin refinement.

After his breakthrough to Golden Core Late Stage, his Magical Power far surpassed what it was before, making the refinement of Black Profound Gold much easier than previously.

In only half a day, a large section of Black Profound Gold was refined by Chu Ning.

Chu Ning added it into the sword embryo to solidify.

He then began refining the Profound Spirit Earth Crystal.

When all the materials had completely merged, Chu Ning started to concentrate and inscribe Dao Runes.

The Dao Runes in artifact refining, the talismanic runes in talisman making, and the Dao Runes on array tools all had certain commonalities.

Over nearly thirty years, through inscribing the Top Level Talisman Ice Shadow Sword Talisman and setting up various arrays, Chu Ning had grown even more adept in this area.

Coupled with the improvement of his Divine Sense and Magical Power—

He spent only half the time it had taken to refine the Golden Spirit Sword to complete the inscription of all the Dao Runes on the entire sword.

As the final stroke of Dao Rune was inscribed, a dazzling white light burst forth from the spirit sword, and it began to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Inner Sea was not abundant, but fortunately there was a Hidden Spirit Vein on this island.

At this moment, the pure Water Attribute Spiritual Qi within the Hidden Spirit Vein continuously surged into the sword body.

Chu Ning also swiftly took out that scale of the Purple Crowned Jade Water Flood Dragon; with a spell cast, the complete Tier Eight Flood Dragon Essence Soul followed the Spiritual Qi and entered the Water Spirit Sword.

After a while longer, that dense Spiritual Qi finally filled the entire spirit sword and dispersed.

In front of Chu Ning, there was now an additional Water Attribute Spirit Sword shining with white radiance!

Chu Ning opened his mouth and spat; the other four spirit swords flew out.

In an instant, inside the artifact refining room, five spirit swords of five-colored radiance lined up neatly.

"I’ve finally gathered all Five Elements Spirit Swords!!"

Chu Ning looked at the five spirit swords, his eyes flickering with light.

With the Five Elements Spirit Swords refined, next would be cultivating the Five Elements Sword Array!

Only then could his Five Elements Chaos Technique truly display its might!
