The next step is the most special and also the most difficult step in the process of refining the Hunyuan Seven-Star Sword!
That's to merge the five attribute surname liquid treasures, not only must they be inseparable in form and become a whole, but the spiritual power of the attributes surnames must also be thoroughly merged into one, thoroughly transforming into primordial force, can't have even a hint of the five elements' spiritual power mixed within!
This method of transforming the five elements of spiritual power into the power of chaos can also be achieved through Zhao Di's Hunyuan Jue Gongfa, but it is fundamentally impossible to thoroughly and completely transform all five kinds of spiritual powers into great treasures in one breath. Therefore, it is necessary to borrow the power of the Hunyuan Wuxing Great Array's law array.
Zhao Di used twenty-five high-grade spirit stones to set up a perfect and flawless Hunyuan Wu Xing array, which not only provided sufficient Hunyuan power for the entire refining process but also helped Zhao Di convert the spiritual energy of the five Wu Xing attribute materials into Hunyuan spiritual energy during this step.
Zhao took a deep breath and used his divine sense to slowly and neatly manipulate the five liquid orbs within the purple flame sea, causing them to gradually gather closer.
"Combine!" Zhao Di lightly spat out a word, and the five liquid spheres of different colors immediately gathered together to form a fist-sized liquid sphere with all five colors.
The Hunyuan Golden Elixir also stopped rotating and spewing out purple flames at the same time, but instead sprayed out a piece of purple mist, tightly wrapping around the five-colored liquid, layer by layer.
However, the five-colored light group, although constantly flowing and changing locally with five colors, can never be merged into one.
Zhao Di condensed a strand of true energy, letting out a low growl with a hint of pain, and a mixed yuan divine light shot out from his fingertips, directly hitting the center of the mixed yuan five elements array.
A purple light column, about one foot in diameter and several feet long, shot out from the center of the Hunyuan Five Elements Array, and under Zhao Di's control, it struck directly at the five-colored liquid ball wrapped in layers of purple mist.
Under the assistance of the mixed yuan force provided by this strong array, the five-color liquid group finally began to undergo fusion and transformation. This change started with a purple mark born from the liquid group, slowly expanding, increasing, and eventually occupying the main position.
It was the seventh night of the seventh month, and finally, under the sufficient support of the Hunyuan Five Elements Array, the last wisp of five-colored spiritual light in the liquid sphere was also swallowed by the purple color, thoroughly transforming into a fist-sized purple liquid sphere.
Zhao Di, who was almost at his limit, finally let out a long sigh and felt slightly relieved in his heart.
He continued to envelop the purple liquid mass with purple mist, suspending it in mid-air, while rapidly absorbing the spiritual energy from the high-grade spirit stone in his hand to replenish the spiritual energy in his dantian that was almost depleted.
After a while, Zhao Di returned to his peak state and continued to practice swordsmanship.
He used the same method to create a purple sea of fire with the prenatal dan fire, and also refined the other two treasures of Buddhism - Xuanfeng Jin and Tiangang Yin.
These two materials, known as "Dui Bao", require a very small amount, and too much would affect the properties of the main material. The size of Xuan Feng Jin is just right, while Tian Kan Yin has more than enough.
Zhao Di would not waste such a treasure that even spirit stones could not buy, he refined the Heavenly Silver and separated a small portion to practice his sword skills, while the majority was cooled, solidified and carefully preserved.
Looking at the three liquid spheres of different sizes on top of his head, Zhao revealed a satisfied expression.
The most energy-consuming step in refining the sword has passed, and what's left is to create the shape of a small sword and add some auxiliary materials. As long as you are careful, there won't be many mistakes.
Zhaodi used his spiritual sense to manipulate the purple liquid, pulling it gently into the air, and a small three-inch sword began to take shape.
Zhao Di grasped over a dozen auxiliary materials from the ground with both hands, and threw them at the small purple sword in a specific order and quantity. As soon as these materials came into contact with the liquid purple sword, they immediately merged into it and disappeared without a trace. The small sword gradually solidified, and after Zhao Di added the final auxiliary material - a bottle of extremely high-quality Lingquan water, a soft hum like the sound of a dragon's chant was heard, and the embryo of the purple sword was born!
Zhao Di inserted the sword embryo into the silver liquid cluster, lightly making the small sword's entire body covered with a thin and even layer of the silver liquid.
The small sword initially turned silver, but soon the silver seeped into the body of the sword and changed back to purple.
Then, he inserted the small sword into the golden liquid cluster again, and a uniform layer of golden liquid cluster was plated on the surface of the small sword.
In a flash of golden light, the small sword completely absorbed the two liquid masses and became a purple-colored small sword with an already perfect shape.
Zhao's mouth was constantly whispering mysterious and obscure incantations, while his hands were pinching out one strange seal after another, in a certain complex sequence, striking the small sword with each seal, engraving seals on the sword body.
The number of days later, the final step in refining the small sword was completed, and the law of engraving was finally completed. The mixed yuan seven-star sword that cost Zhao Di and others a lot of heart and blood was finally refined!
Zhao Di couldn't help but feel delighted, and he quickly set out to complete the sword's recognition ritual, making it his own destined magical treasure.
The process was not complicated, he simply set up a simple recognition array, cut his wrist, shed a large amount of vital blood, and then used the vital blood and the Hunyuan Seven Star Sword together with magic to refine it, completing the recognition of the Hunyuan Seven Star Sword as his first personal treasure.
After completing the recognition, he can directly hide the Hunyuan Seven Star Sword in his dantian, where it will be slowly refined by his own true fire. As the refining time increases, not only can the power of his innate treasure be gradually and steadily enhanced, but also, with a longer period of time, it can achieve the effect of freely moving at will, its flexibility is far beyond that of other treasures.
After nearly two months of day and night refining, Zhao finally refined his own life-bound treasure. Overjoyed, he immediately stood up and left the cave without even bothering to retrieve the treasures and arrays inside.
"Congratulations, Master!" The two women, who had been waiting anxiously outside the cave for a long time with heavy hearts, suddenly burst into joyful congratulations. Zhao Di's life-bound treasure also contained their hard work and thoughts! However, this joy only flashed by in an instant, and the two women's faces immediately returned to a solemn expression.
"Congratulations to the husband for refining a precious treasure!" Yun Mengli had also arrived at this place, quietly waiting for Zhao Di. Although her appearance was not suitable, but her expression looked extremely tired and her spirit was not good.
"I've refined the precious treasure, but I couldn't stop my beloved wife from leaving!" Zhao Di looked at Yun Mengli's haggard expression and knew she was barely holding on, her soul about to dissipate and fall into reincarnation. This woman had probably been exhausted for many days, only struggling to hold on until he refined his life-destined treasure. Zhao Di stroked his wife's face, unable to bear the sorrow that welled up within him, a single tear hanging from the corner of his eye.
When Zhao Di saw this scene, the two women, You Lan and You Ruo, tactfully left the cave, leaving Zhao Di and Yun Mengli alone together. They also understood that perhaps this was their last chance.
"Husband, let Meng Li see your treasured sword!" Meng Li forced a faint smile at Zhao Di.
Zhaodi lightly raised his hand, and a three-inch-long miniature purple sword flew into Yun Mengli's hand. As it met the wind, it suddenly expanded to three feet in length.
"It's indeed a good sword!" Yun Mengli's jade-like hand gently stroked the purple sword body, feeling the profound and immeasurable spiritual power contained within, and softly exclaimed.
"Husband, have you given a name to this sword? If not, can it be named 'Meng Li'?" Cloud Meng Li suddenly asked with a smile.
"Of course, Meng Li sword! Hey, from now on, when I see the sword, I'll think of you. Do you think I'd forget about my beloved wife?!" Zhao Di's eyes were brimming with tears, ready to fall at any moment. For a cultivator who had been practicing asceticism and self-cultivation for over a hundred years, this kind of display was enough to show the magnitude of the emotional impact he had received.
"Hehe, Meng Li's thoughts are still not hidden from her husband." Yun Meng Li smiled and said: "However, since it is the Meng Li sword, Meng Li has a small request. From now on, this sword can only be used by her husband to slay evil spirits and demons, and please do not use it to harm innocent weak people. Can her husband agree to Meng Li's request?"
"My dear wife is so kind, I should follow her instructions!" Zhao Di's tears finally fell on his face and dripped onto his clothes.
His wife's thoughts, he also understood! This life-bound treasure of his was forged from the Seven Treasures of Buddhism, containing extremely high Buddhist power. Although he hadn't cultivated any Buddhist techniques and couldn't control this power, he was still subject to certain restraints. The Buddhist techniques emphasized compassion and saving people, most detesting the indiscriminate slaughter of innocents and poisoning of living beings. Therefore, Yun Meng Lian's instructions were actually a warning to him to follow this path, lest he conflict with the Buddhist power contained within his life-bound treasure, causing a backlash and resulting in tragedy.
"Husband, I know your determination to follow the Tao is very strong, and I can't persuade you otherwise. However, the path of cultivating immortality is extremely perilous, so please be careful. Now that you've obtained this precious treasure, I'm slightly at ease." Yun Mengli handed over the purple long sword in her hand to Zhao Di, and she herself leaned against his chest, saying softly, "Mengli's life has been difficult, and I won't be able to accompany you on the path of immortality. If there is a next life, I'm willing to return to the world of cultivating immortals with you, and together we'll roam the immortal realm!"
"Husband, Meng Li's happiest moments since the family change have been with you. Husband, Meng Li really loves days like this! Unfortunately, such times are always too short-lived! Husband, Meng Li should be content with being your wife in this life. But Meng Li can't bear to part with you, and hopes for future lives where we can be together forever, never separating. Husband, Meng Li is so greedy..."
The girl's voice in Zhao Di's arms grew fainter and fainter, her breathing weaker and weaker. Before long, in the tears of Zhao Di, the girl closed her clear autumn water-like eyes, and never opened them again.
Zhao's heart was filled with great sorrow, and tears rolled down his handsome face, dropping onto the absolutely beautiful face of the girl in his arms.
"Who would have thought that the moment I achieved mastery of my sword, it was at the time of my wife's funeral!" Zhao Di let out a loud cry, his hand grasping the precious sword tightly as he slashed downwards with all his might, unleashing a purple sword beam that tore through the air!
