Chapter 465: Only the Consort Is Qualified to Control It!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the Heavenly Gate, in a room in the backyard of the meeting hall.
Fire was burning and smoke was rising.
Streaks of mystic light revolved in the air like dragons and phoenixes.
The furnace in the center of the room was engraved with two huge green dragons that coiled upward around the furnace.
This furnace was a high-grade numinous treasure called the Rising Dragon Cauldron.!!
Beside this cauldron, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged in four directions.
The four of them were the four alliance leaders of the hundred clans, Zang Tao, Qi Jinqiu, Ji Fan, and Condor Sheng.
The four of them were born in the Communal Blessing Clan, the Cloud Mother Clan, the Great Farmer Clan, and the Flying Feather Clan.
They were the most outstanding martial arts geniuses in the past twenty thousand years in this ancient world.
They were at the Great Saint Realm and had talent in artifact refinement, pill refinement, and so on.
They were undoubtedly the cream of the crop of the hundred clans.
At this moment, the four of them circulated all their true essence and transformed their strongest spiritual power into spiritual fire that fused with the innate lightning fire in the Rising Dragon Cauldron to forcefully refine the four fragments of the Primordial Ancient Sword.
Phew!
Spiritual fire boiled and lightning flashed.
The flames in the Rising Dragon Cauldron jumped more and more violently, as if the completion of the Immortal Sword was imminent!
Zang Tao and the others looked at each other and decided to work harder to refine the Immortal Sword in one go.
Bang!
However, just as they injected spiritual power into the Rising Dragon Cauldron again, a terrifying fiery light suddenly exploded and turned into a scorching and powerful wind.
The four of them felt their bodies heat up and hurriedly activated their true essence to protect their bodies.
However, this fire wave carried some ancient sword energy that shattered their protective aura and pierced through their chests.
Hiss ~
The four of them gasped in pain and hurriedly used spiritual energy to protect their hearts and internal organs to avoid being corroded by the Immortal Sword energy.
Zang Tao gritted his teeth with a resentful expression.
“Damn it, the spiritual fire has already undergone nine revolutions, but I’m still unable to fuse these fragments!”
The Nine Revolutions Spirit Fire technique was an extremely powerful method in artifact refinement.
This required powerhouses above the Great Saint Realm to transform spiritual energy into fire and cooperate together to increase the temperature and power of the spiritual fire.
Every revolution was a small cycle, and the power of the spiritual fire would increase.
After the ninth revolution, the power of the spiritual fire would reach its peak.
Generally speaking, refining immortal artifacts wasn’t a big problem.
However, the Primordial Ancient Sword was too difficult to refine. After the ninth revolution of the spiritual fire, even relying on a numinous treasure like the Rising Dragon Cauldron couldn’t help them succeed.
This made Zang Tao really disappointed.
Qi Jinqiu, Ji Fan, and Condor Sheng also had melancholic expressions.
This wave of Nine Revolutions Spirit Fire had already consumed 60% of their true essence.
With their talent, this was an unimaginable loss.
But the outcome was still very pessimistic. They were unable to piece the four fragments together at all.
Zang Tao took out four medium-grade Saint-rank Recovery Pills and ate one himself. The other three were given to Qi Jinqiu and the others.
Then, he said, “If not for the Primordial Ancient Sword, our hundred clans’ chances of victory against the Tooth Devouring Giant Snake Clan are slim. We can only try our best again!”
“Okay!”
Qi Jinqiu and the others nodded without hesitation.
After consuming the Recovery Pill, the four of them worked together again and even overdrawn their true essence to inject spiritual energy into the Rising Dragon Cauldron.
Bang!!!
The Primordial Ancient Sword seemed to be competing with them. The more powerful the spiritual energy they injected, the faster they failed.
Furthermore, the backlash from the sword energy and spiritual fire multiplied, turning into waves of fire that rushed out again.
“Hurry up and dodge!”
This time, Zang Tao and the others did not dare to block it with spiritual energy. They roared and took a hundred steps back, even shattering the wall of the room.
Bang!
The four of them turned around and were speechless to see that the huge Rising Dragon Cauldron had been shattered by the Immortal Sword energy and spiritual fire that erupted just now.
The ground was filled with fragments that were extremely messy.
“We’re doomed!”
“Even the Rising Dragon Cauldron is broken. How can we refine the Primordial Ancient Sword?”
“Sigh, is our hundred clans destined to be destroyed by the demons?”
Zang Tao, Qi Jinqiu, Ji Fan, and Diao Sheng all had dejected expressions.
They felt helpless when they saw the four fragments on the ground.
The four of them were all grandmasters in artifact refinement.
However, the four of them were unable to refine the Primordial Ancient Sword even after working together and even destroyed the only numinous treasure.
They pessimistically felt that from now on, no one in the world could refine the Primordial Ancient Sword. The hundred clans were finished!
At this moment, Ju Leiyu appeared from behind the four of them. “Alliance Leaders, the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort has arrived in the meeting room. Go see him!”
After settling Lin Xuan and the others down, Ju Leiyu felt that since the four alliance leaders hadn’t appeared for a long time, he hurriedly rushed over to remind them.
North Mystic Heaven’s Consort?
The four alliance leaders were stunned.
North Mystic Heaven had a male Consort because the empress was in charge.
Zang Tao hurriedly asked, “Why did the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort come to the Heavenly Gate?”
Ju Leiyu said, “It’s a coincidence. The Dongjun Clan was attacked by the Tooth Devouring Snake Clan. The son of the leader wanted to escape with a group of clansmen, but he happened to encounter the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort.”
“Not only did he help the Dongjun Clan instantly kill more than twenty thousand giant snakes, but he also came to the Heavenly Gate. He set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation with a wave of his hand and killed five million giant snakes and seven Demon Emperors!”
Hiss!
Hearing this, the four alliance leaders couldn’t help but tremble.
With a wave of his hand, he set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and instantly killed the seven Demon Emperor commanders.
This was definitely not a simple feat!
Zang Tao hurriedly said, “It’s our clan’s fortune to have such a mighty figure visit the Heavenly Gate. We can’t neglect him!”
Qi Jinqiu, Ji Fan, and Diao Sheng nodded repeatedly and were about to rush out to greet Lin Xuan.
After two steps, Zang Tao turned around and waved his hand to pick up the four fragments of the ancient sword.
“The difficulty of refining the Primordial Ancient Sword is extremely high. It’s not something we can complete.”
“I think the Consort has the ability to reverse the situation. Why don’t we offer these fragments to him?”
“Otherwise, these fragments would be a waste in our hands!”
“I agree!” Qi Jinqiu and the other two alliance leaders nodded.
They felt that if Lin Xuan could refine the Primordial Ancient Sword, the hundred clans could offer this sword to him.
They already had a feeling that Lin Xuan had come this time to destroy the Tooth Devouring Snake Clan.
If the demons were destroyed, the person who should receive the Immortal Sword would naturally be the empress’ husband.
After the discussion, the four alliance leaders and Ju Leiyu hurried to the meeting hall.
Before they entered, he saw Lin Xuan sitting upright on the main seat in the hall.
He was elegant and distinguished.
“I didn’t expect the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort to be so young and handsome. He really has the bearing of a god!”
Lin Xuan’s extraordinary appearance made the four alliance leaders admire him.
The four of them hurriedly walked into the hall and bowed to Lin Xuan.
“Greetings, Consort!”
“Cloud Mother Clan’s Qi Jinqiu greets the Consort!”
“Great Farmer Clan’s Ji Fan greets the Consort!”
“Flying Feather Clan’s Condor Sheng greets the Consort!”
Lin Xuan had already heard the names of the four alliance leaders from Ha Hongjun and the others, so he returned the greetings politely.
When the four alliance leaders saw how humble and respectful he was, their admiration surged.
Then, Zang Tao brought the four Immortal Sword fragments forward and said,
“Consort, these four fragments are from the Primordial Ancient Sword. The four of us tried our best, but we couldn’t refine them into swords.”
“We want to offer these fragments to the Consort. We believe that with the Consort’s ability, you will definitely be able to refine an Immortal Sword and wipe out the Giant Teeth Snake Clan for our hundred clans!”
Lin Xuan said calmly, “Alliance leaders, don’t be so polite. I can teach you all how to refine this sword.”
He had come to deal with the Tooth Devouring Snake Clan because he wanted to uphold justice with his daughters and eliminate the evil demons.
He also couldn’t bear to see the millions of humans in this ancient world suffer the Tooth Devouring Snake Clan’s torture.
Furthermore, he had his daughters’ four Immortal Swords. He wasn’t greedy for the Primordial Ancient Sword.
Zang Tao and the others couldn’t help but look at each other.
Lin Xuan’s meaning was very clear. He could refine this sword.
Zang Tao hurriedly said, “Consort, don’t decline. This is a token of our goodwill!”
“Besides, this Primordial Ancient Sword is a true Immortal Sword. Only the Consort is qualified to control it!”
Ju Leiyu, Ha Hongjun, and all the upper echelons of the hundred clans present nodded in agreement. “Consort, please accept this sword!”
Hearing everyone’s repeated requests, Lin Xuan could only agree. “Alright.”
Zang Tao hurriedly handed over the four fragments. “Consort, please take action and let us feast our eyes!”
Lin Xuan nodded slightly and raised his finger to hang the four fragments in the air.
Then, he released eight Primordial Fire Spirit Dragons and wrapped them around the four fragments.
Connate spirit fire spewed out like a spring and burned these four fragments from an infinite angle.
In the end, Lin Xuan conjured a Five-elemental Divine Thunder and covered it on the four fragments.
He clenched his right hand.
“Close!”
Bang!!!
A purplish-gold sword light rushed through the lightning and flashed over an area of millions of kilometers.
Under the purplish-gold sun, the entire Heavenly Gate seemed to be dazzling.
Under this golden sword light, everyone’s hearts thumped, and awe arose.
After the golden light dissipated, a ten-foot-long sword floated in the middle of the hall.
It was domineering and exquisite.
There was a nine-clawed dragon engraved on the purple-gold handle. The sword was faint blue with a natural ancient aura lingering around it.
How domineering and extraordinary!
