In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Inside the massive Tianchi pit on Tianchi Peak of the Emei Sect.
"Finally, I've refined the first flying sword!"
Li Chuan looked at the small flying sword he had spent three months painstakingly refining, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.
Although this small flying sword was only three inches long, the restrictions, magic arrays, and various refining techniques infused into it were no less complex than those required to refine a large flying sword.
Especially since he was a novice at artifact refining; if not for Danchenzi's careful guidance, he wouldn't know when he would have ever succeeded.
Capable of creating top-tier offensive magic treasures like the Heavenly Dragon Slash Flying Sword Wings, Danchenzi was not only a powerful Emei Sword Cultivator but also a top-tier master of artifact refining.
"Very good. Refine another nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, and they can be assembled into the Flying Sword Wings. When the time comes, you will be able to control them with ease to protect yourself or strike at enemies."
Danchenzi examined the small flying sword Li Chuan had successfully refined and nodded in approval.
In fact, when he first guided Li Chuan in refining the Flying Sword Wings, the hardest part wasn't the refining method—because with his guidance, that wasn't an issue—but the metal used for the Flying Sword Wings.
After all, to refine the Flying Sword Wings, one first needed to refine ten thousand small flying swords, requiring over ten times the metal of a normal flying sword.
Moreover, compared to ordinary flying swords, for the Flying Sword Wings to reach an ideal state of lethality, the metal used must be of high quality; it must allow True Qi to flow smoothly while being sufficiently hard and sharp.
Back then, he had also spent a long time traveling to many places around the World before he could gather enough metal that met the requirements.
However, he hadn't expected that this most difficult aspect would be resolved right from the start. Li Chuan's uru metal and Vibranium perfectly met the requirements for the metal materials needed to refine the Flying Sword Wings.
As the best magic metal in the Nine Realms, uru metal naturally had excellent adaptability to energy, not to mention the hardness of Vibranium.
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine!"
Li Chuan couldn't help but twitch his mouth upon hearing this.
Danchenzi saw this and patted him on the shoulder:
"Don't worry. It's only slow at first because you aren't skilled yet. Once you become proficient, you will refine them faster and faster."
"No matter how long it takes, I will definitely refine it."
Li Chuan put away the small flying sword he had finished and prepared to start refining the second one.
As long as he could refine the Flying Knife Wings, it would be worth wasting a few more years, because the Flying Knife Wings could definitely be considered one of the top-tier magic treasures, aside from the haotian mirror and the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords.
Just then, a massive phantom suddenly appeared above Tianchi Peak; it was none other than the Emei Sect Leader, Zhenren Baimei.
"Master!"
"Zhenren!"
Danchenzi and Li Chuan bowed respectfully upon seeing him.
"The old monster Nether Spring has already led the disciples of the Blood Demon Palace toward Emei. This great battle will inevitably have far-reaching consequences. Right now, not far below Mount Emei, two mortal armies are engaged in battle.
Danchenzi, your speed is the fastest. Go quickly and evacuate them; tell them to hide as far away as possible."
Zhenren Baimei instructed.
"Disciple obeys!"
Danchenzi flapped his Flying Knife Wings and had already flown out of Tianchi Peak.
"Li Qingfeng, come to the main peak and be ready to face the enemy at any time!"
Zhenren Baimei left these words, and his phantom gradually dissipated.
Li Chuan saw this and used the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl to fly toward the main peak.
"I've been so immersed in artifact refining that I almost forgot about the Nether Spring Blood Demon."
For these past three months, he had been wholeheartedly learning artifact refining from Danchenzi and had completely forgotten about such an important event as the Nether Spring Blood Demon attacking Emei.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.
When he flew to the main peak, the plaza was already packed with people.
In addition to the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords, Duan Lei, the Yun Zhong Seven, and three hundred Qingcheng disciples, there were also his master and three martial uncles, as well as two Nascent Soul and eight Golden Core stage Zen masters who had come from Wutai Mountain to help.
Regarding the Nether Spring Blood Demon's attack on Emei, Zhenren Baimei had only notified Abbot Venerable Sheng of Wutai Mountain.
However, Venerable Sheng did not dare to come personally to help Emei deal with the Nether Spring Blood Demon, because if the Nether Spring Blood Demon was just using the attack on Emei as a cover while actually targeting Wutai Mountain, then Wutai Mountain would be in danger.
Nevertheless, he had sent some of the most powerful disciples of his sect to assist.
"Master, Martial Uncles, when the fighting starts in a moment, just stay behind me."
After landing on the plaza, Li Chuan gave instructions to Daoist Qingzhu and his three martial uncles.
Although according to the original plot, they were actually not in any danger, who knew if his appearance might cause some butterfly effect?
"Baimei, you despicable and shameless villain, you actually found two little brats to die in your place. So this is the kind of disciples you've taught, all blindly believing in that hypocritical mask of false benevolence!"
Not long after Li Chuan landed on the plaza, a massive skull, as large as a small mountain and formed entirely of condensed blood, suddenly appeared in the high sky over a dozen kilometers away.
The skull's mouth opened and closed, emitting a thunderous, mocking roar toward Mount Emei.
"This is a provocation!"
Li Chuan knew that Danchenzi and Xuantian Sect of Kunlun must have encountered the Nether Spring Blood Demon while evacuating the human armies; the Nether Spring Blood Demon was taking the opportunity to mock Baimei, wanting to use Baimei's power to open the Blood Cave.
"Boom!"
The mountain-sized blood-colored skull spat out several times, and several blood-colored energy spheres as large as meteorites shot toward Emei.
If they were hit by that energy, it was estimated that this Emei main peak would be obliterated.
"haotian mirror!"
Zhenren Baimei's primordial spirit instantly expanded to a thousand meters in height, holding the haotian mirror, and easily blocked the meteorite-like attack.
"The strength of an Earth Immortal at the peak is truly terrifying!"
Looking at the massive blood-colored energy flying in and Zhenren Baimei's thousand-meter-tall primordial spirit holding the haotian mirror, Li Chuan couldn't help but sigh.
If he were to face this casual strike from Nether Spring, he reckoned that besides teleporting away, he would have no way to withstand it.
Both the Nether Spring Blood Demon and Zhenren Baimei were at the peak of the Earth Immortal stage, but Baimei could ascend to the Heavenly Immortal stage at any time and had forcibly suppressed his cultivation; plus, with the haotian mirror in hand, his strength was a notch higher.
"Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords, Yun Zhong Seven, three hundred Qingcheng disciples, and fellow Daoists, follow me to Panluo Valley to subdue the demons!"
After blocking Nether Spring's attack, Zhenren Baimei's primordial spirit returned to his body. He issued an order to everyone in the plaza, then flew into the air toward the Nether Spring Blood Demon with his hands behind his back.
His flight speed without using any magic treasure was actually much faster than Danchenzi's Flying Knife Wings.
"Yes!"
Everyone in the plaza immediately released their flying swords and magic treasures, following closely behind, and Li Chuan was no exception.
However, by the time they arrived, the Nether Spring Blood Demon's blood skull had already been shattered by Zhenren Baimei, and his true body had been immobilized, but he subsequently escaped with the help of Danchenzi's flying knives.
Therefore, everyone had to follow Zhenren Baimei's haotian mirror to track the Nether Spring Blood Demon.
A moment later, the white light tracked by the haotian mirror stopped in a small valley and did not move again. Seeing this, everyone descended one after another.
