The second step of refining the swords was the most important process. Not only did this step determine the success of the refinement, but it also determined the quality of the sword. If an immortal sword was successfully refined, its quality would depend on this step.
Jianchen and the sword spirits began to get busy at this step. With the sword spirits leading the charge, they constantly inscribed sword formations into the swords.
As the sword formations were inscribed into the swords that were about to take shape, the dull swords began to shine with a weak light. They were filled with a sharp presence. The light rapidly became stronger as more and more sword formations were inscribed into the swords.
The second step of refining the swords was an extremely long process. Jian Chen channeled Chaotic Force into the two swords with his left hand to refine them further. At the same time, he did this so that the Chaotic Force could fuse with the swords even more perfectly. Meanwhile, his left hand burned with Chaotic Flames as he nurtured the two swords that had already entered the process of condensing. He wanted the sword formation to fuse perfectly with the swords, making it impossible for them to be separated.
The Chaotic Flames consumed an extremely large amount of Chaotic Force. Jianchen had been using the Chaotic Flames for several days, so the chaotic neidan in his dantian had clearly shrunk.
Several days later, several dozen divine halls hovered in the air above the ruins of Mercenary City. They surrounded the city, while an empty region was left above the seal of Mercenary City. No one stayed there, just in case they were struck by the streams of energy from the spatial tunnel.
The four races each occupied an area. The races were clearly distinguished. Humans were the most prominent, having basically gathered all the Holy Emperor of the entire continent. Next were the Hundred Races. Three-quarters of the experts of the Wasteland Continent were stationed here with forbidden artifacts. They had even brought the treasures of their races.
The magical beasts had fewer experts than the Hundred Races, but the three Holy Emperor had all arrived. They all remained in their own divine halls, forming an invisible pressure that suppressed everyone present.
The Sea race had the fewest people. They only had a few dozen people, but no one dared to underestimate them.
Several Emperor Armaments were stabbed into the ground. They radiated with terrifying pulses of energy, causing the surrounding space to tremble. They were extremely powerful.
All the experts of Mercenary City gathered in one of the divine halls on the human side. The person leading them was the grand elder of Mercenary City.
The grand elder sat at the highest point of the divine hall. His face was sunken and extremely stern. There was also a sliver of worry on his face. He murmured, "The great elder still hasn't refined the supreme divine hall. I wonder when he'll succeed.
If he succeeds, we'll have even greater confidence in dealing with the invasion of the foreign world. I hope they don't come too early, or we won't be able to stop them with our strength. "
"Changyang Qing Yun has taken away their ancestral artifact as well. Changyang Zu Xiao and Changyang Qing Yun left together back then, but Changyang Zu Xiao has returned long ago. Changyang Qing Yun and the other great elders are nowhere to be seen. Who knows where they've gone with the ancestral artifact. Have they changed their minds and are unwilling to lend it out?" The sixth elder of Mercenary City asked.
The grand elder remained silent for a while before standing up. He said, "I'll go see Changyang Zu Xiao right now and ask him what's going on. The ancestral artifacts of the protector clans are extremely important to stopping the invasion of the World of Forsaken Saints. If great elder Tian Jian uses the ancestral artifacts to cast down the supreme killing formation the city lord left behind in the past, we'll be able to stop them for a while even if the World of Forsaken Saints mobilizes an army of Saint Emperors.
The grand elder left the divine hall of Mercenary City and directly entered Changyang Zu Xiao's divine hall to ask about the situation. He wanted to continue borrowing the Emperor Armament of Changyang Prefecture.
"Grand elder, you may not know this, but something has happened in our Changyang Prefecture. The founding ancestor of Changyang Prefecture, Yang Lie, has returned. The ancestor has taken the Emperor Armament with him. The great elders of the Yuan and Qing branches have all been heavily injured and are currently recovering in seclusion. They can't come here for now." Changyang Zu Xiao hesitated before telling the truth in the end. Although the return of the ancestor was unbelievable, the Tyrant's Blade School had already set a precedent.
"What! The founding ancestor of your Changyang Prefecture is still alive? " The grand elder of Mercenary City was shocked. After all, it had already been a million years since the Changyang clan had been founded. It was even older than the history of Mercenary City.
Changyang Zu Xiao gently sighed. His emotions were mixed. The return of their founding ancestor was something worth rejoicing over, but Changyang Zu Xiao was unable to rejoice no matter what. This was because the founding ancestor's former identity was actually his great-grandson. The seniority was a complete mess.
Because of this matter, Changyang Zu Yunxiao and Changyang Zu Yeyun remained silent throughout this period of time. They were depressed.
The grand elder fell silent for quite a while before finally accepting this shocking matter. He then asked, "Changyang Zu Xiao, may I ask where the senior is right now?"
"He left with the founding ancestor of the Tyrant's Blade School, Guihai Yidao. I don't know where he is, but the ancestor will recover his strength very soon. When the World of Forsaken Saints invades, the ancestor should appear," said Changyang Zu Xiao.
"Fantastic, fantastic. This is just fantastic," the grand elder was overjoyed. The grand elder of Mercenary City was overjoyed. With that, the strength of the Tian Yuan Continent would increase drastically.
"When the great elder of the Tyrant's Blade School said that their ancestor had returned, I thought it was a joke. I never thought it would be true," the grand elder murmured to himself as he sighed emotionally.
At this moment, a Saint Ruler from Mercenary City hurried in. He clasped his hands and said, "Grand elder, there are three Saint Rulers outside who wish to see you. They say that they have something important to report, and it might even be related to the World of Forsaken Saints."
The grand elder's face changed slightly with that. He clasped his hands at Changyang Zu Xiao before leaving the divine hall in a hurry.
Outside, the grand elder saw the three Saint Rulers who had returned from the volcanoes in the far west. The three Saint Rulers reported what they had seen and their guesses to the grand elder.
This raised the grand elder's great attention.
Very soon, many experts from the four races hurried over. During this sensitive period of time, anything related to the World of Forsaken Saints would affect them.
"Is this caused by the Scorching Divine Phoenix in seclusion?" A Class 8 Magical Beast in human form asked among the magical beasts.
"But we can't sense any magical beasts," the three Saint Rulers politely replied. They did not even dare to breathe too loudly before the Holy Emperor.
"No matter what has happened, we should go and take a look. If it really is an expert of the Scorching Divine Phoenix clan cultivating there, we can invite them to join us and protect our world together. However, if it's another tunnel from the World of Forsaken Saints, we can discover it early and stop them in time, "the grand elder said with a heavy voice.
Afterward, the four races each sent a few experts to the volcanoes in the far west to check on the situation.
The volcanoes of the Extreme West were currently undergoing earth-shattering changes. Within a radius of 200,000 miles, all the volcanoes were in a state of eruption, spewing out massive amounts of flames and magma into the sky. The world was crimson red, and the boundless sea of magma beneath their feet was violently tumbling. Just by taking a deep breath, one would feel as if they had inhaled a mass of blazing flames into their body. The temperature was terrifyingly high.
"This definitely isn't caused by the Scorching Divine Phoenix. It's impossible for her to make all the volcanoes in a radius of two hundred thousand kilometers change like this. There's no presence here either," a magical beast said with a heavy voice. His face immediately became ugly. He had already realized that the changes were probably related to the World of Forsaken Saints.
"Let's go in and investigate immediately," the grand elder said with a heavy voice. He used his Saint Force and the Qi of the world to protect himself as he flew into the depths of the volcanoes.
Suddenly, a terrifying sword Qi appeared after they traveled over ten thousand kilometers, causing all of them to shiver in fear. The sword Qi was just too powerful. It possessed a presence that seemed to be able to destroy the world. It ripped through space and spread out in all directions in a mighty manner.
"Look, what's that?" Suddenly, a Holy Emperor pointed ahead and cried out.
Everyone looked over and saw two pillars of light, one violet and one azure, shoot into the sky. They pierced through the clouds and reduced the thick, red clouds to nothingness. It was a shocking sight.
"What's that? Could it be that a treasure has appeared? "
"I feel like the unbelievably powerful sword Qi is coming from there."
"Strange. Why do the two pillars of light seem like two swords?"
All the Holy Emperors stared at the two pillars of light as they discussed among themselves. Their faces were filled with surprise.
"The two pillars of light really do seem like two supreme swords. Why is something like this happening in the volcanoes? Has some treasure of the world appeared here?"
A few Holy Emperors could not help themselves when they heard that it was a treasure of the world. They broke away from the group and flew forward. Their eyes burned with desire.
