16 Nine Heavenly Spirits Refining Manual

After swallowing the Azure Dragon, Liang sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. Mystical runes and symbols began to glow on his skin.

He was now refining the Azure Dragon spirit essence, which was formed from the blood essence and the dragon soul was refined from Ling Tian Nascent's soul. If an ordinary cultivator absorbed it, his power would reach the peak of the Spirit Severing Realm instantly.

Although everything looked peaceful outside, a furious battle was going on inside his body as two beings were facing each other: one serpent and one dragon. Suddenly, the serpent's eyes changed from black to crimson, It opened its mouth and it turned black, and a suction force erupted, pulling the dragon inside the black hole till it disappeared.

Another head began to emerge from the serpent's body, and soon the two heads, each one of them began to push itself in the other head's opposite direction. The serpent's body was separated in two, and after a while, two black identical serpents were now facing each other.

Soon, one of the serpents began to circle around itself at unimaginable speed until it disappeared.

Liang opened his eyes, and the void began to distort, a massive black serpent appeared. It looked at the sword embryo excitedly, then plunged into the sword and began to disappear once it touched its surface until nothing remained.

Once the serpent disappeared, Liang began to chant, the spirit formation began to glow even brighter than before, and a powerful pressure started to emanate from it, causing the whole chamber to shake.

Finally, it's the final step to complete the reforging process. He lifted the sword embryo and began to chant some ancient incantations, and the sword embryo began to float in the middle of the spirit formation.

As the formation begins to glow with more intense light.

The entire room soon was filled with a bright light, and the pressure was so intense that even the walls began to crack.

Crimson flames began to appear on the embryo's surface, and its shape began to change.

Finally, the light died down, and an otherworldly sword emerged from the spirit formation. The blade was a gleaming silver, and it shimmered like a star in the sky. The hilt and guard were made of black metal, with intricate engravings that surrounded a serpent design. The grip was coated in a layer of crimson flames, which flickered and danced around the sword, giving it a fearsome appearance. The sword was beautiful yet eerie at the same time, giving off an ominous feeling that made anyone who looked at it uneasy. It glowed with a powerful aura of darkness and destruction.

A smile appeared on Liang Yifei's face as he looked at the sword. He slowly walked towards the sword and picked it up. The moment he held it, he could feel the immense power coursing through his body.

He swung the sword, and a wave of energy swept across the room, shattering every object in its path.

Liang couldn't help but let out a laugh, while Yang Wu smiled bitterly as he looked at the destroyed items, every one of them cost a fortune to acquire. "You didn't need to do that."

Liang shrugged. "It was worth it, to feel the power of this sword."

Yang Wu looked at the sword with envy. "So what are you going to name it?"

Liang thought for a moment then spoke. "I shall name it: Crimson Serpent Sword for now. It is a fitting name for a sword forged from the essence of a dragon and a serpent."

Yang Wu asked in confusion. "For now?"

"The method used in the refining is something I created called the Nine Heavenly Spirit Refining Manual. For the sword to reach its final form I still need the other seven spirits. The dragon and the serpent were just the first two heavenly spirits."

Yang Wu's eyes widened in amazement. "You created a new refining method? That's incredible!"

Liang looked at the sword and raised it again, and it turned into a crimson dark flame before disappearing in his hand. "It wasn't as hard as you think. Over the years, I have obtained many refining manuals, be it for weapons or bodies, it made the process easy."

Yang Wu nodded in understanding. "I see, but you need other spirits now, and I think they shouldn't be ordinary ones."

Liang nodded. "Yes, they would need to be true spirit beings or divine beasts at least, such as the Phoenix, the Qilin, the Golden Crow, and the like."

Yang Wu whistled in admiration. "Indeed only such beings deserve to be called heavenly spirits. Well, that would have to wait until you ascend to the upper domain."

Liang smiled mysteriously. "That's not certain".

"Now let's get back to business. I have a mission for you."

Yang Wu's eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn't heard that word for a long time.

Liang flicked his fingers, and two figures made from spirit power appeared. "These two women were seeking the dragon's blood essence. I killed one of them before I came to the city, while the second one escaped from me."

Yang Wu nodded and took out a jade disk and pointed at the two figures, soon They began to float towards the jade disk, disappearing inside it.

He looked at them with uncertainty and asked, "Do you want us to find the woman and kill her?"

Liang chuckled and shook his head. "You don't have such an ability. There's someone powerful behind her. Just investigate her identity."

Yang Wu nodded and was about to leave when Liang's voice came again. "Oh right, there's a sect called the Azure Sword Sect or something. Have you heard of it?"

Yang Wu nodded. "Yes, it's one of the most powerful factions nowadays."

Liang looked at him with disdain and chuckled. "Well, I have already killed their sect master. Go and exterminate the sect."

Surprise flashed across Yang Wu's eyes, but he soon nodded and disappeared from the underground chamber.
