Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Tian Buyi summoned Murong Fu.

"Fu'er, look at this sword."

Tian Buyi took out the sword he had just forged.

The sword hilt is engraved with a Tai Chi pattern, which seals many small formations, making it extremely mysterious.

At the end is inlaid a crystal-clear pearl, shimmering with light.

The sword's blade was entirely ice-crystal colored, with a faint shimmering light, exuding a sharp and fierce aura.

Staring at the sword's edge, one feels as if it can pierce the air, sending chills down one's spine.

"A fine sword!"

Murong Fu was astonished.

"It is indeed a fine sword."

Tian Buyi nodded and smiled, "This sword is made primarily of the Soul-Seizing Staff, with the Blood-Devouring Bead inlaid on the hilt."

"I used the flames of my nascent soul to refine the Blood-Devouring Bead and remove the evil thoughts."

"A large amount of innate Gangjin was added, and it was mixed with ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus liquid and then forged for seven days and seven nights."

"Its grade has reached the level of a top-tier magic weapon. If it absorbs a demon's soul and spirit and completes its transformation, it may be able to advance to the level of a spiritual treasure!"

"Truly, this is my masterpiece."

At this point, Tian Buyi paused, then said, "Fu'er, give it a name."

Murong Fu shook his head and said, "Since it is a precious sword forged by my father-in-law, you should name it."

Tian Buyi was even happier upon hearing this. This child was exceptionally talented and so sensible; he was truly lovable. If the other disciples were also like this… well, they were not worthy.

Take a moment to consider.

Tian Buyi's eyes lit up, "Then let's call it the Soul-Devouring Sword."

"What a great name! What a magnificent Soul-Devouring Sword!"

Murong Fu stroked the sword, praising it endlessly.

"I'm glad you like it." Tian Buyi smiled faintly, his expression excited but unable to hide his fatigue.

After all, forging the sword for seven consecutive days and nights had consumed a great deal of his energy and spirit.

"Thank you, Father-in-law, for bestowing this sword upon me!" Murong Fu clasped his hands and bowed deeply. "I will certainly use this sword to slay demons and monsters, and I will never disgrace the name of the Soul Devourer!"

"So... cough cough cough," Tian Buyi wanted to say a few more words, but couldn't help coughing repeatedly. "I'll go into seclusion to recover my true energy first. You should go and cultivate."

With a wave of his hand, Tian Buyi disappeared back into his cultivation room.

In no time.

Su Ru walked over and said coldly, "This guy must not have rested for a moment just to show off. He called you over as soon as he finished refining the magic weapon. He's so proud that he suffers for it."

At this point, Su Ru paused, glanced at the Soul-Devouring Sword, and continued:

"However, this sword is indeed a top-grade magic weapon. If you nurture it for a while, it will soon be upgraded to a spiritual treasure."

Murong Fu nodded in agreement: "Father-in-law's weapon-forging skills are indeed remarkable."

Su Ru waved her hand, looking utterly uninterested: "Let's not talk about him anymore. He's a very good person... well, except for certain aspects."

The more Su Ru talked, the more ashamed she felt.

Can.

What's done is done.

Murong Fu raised an eyebrow: "Mother-in-law..."

"I'm not in the mood, you can leave."

Su Ru went back to her cultivation room on her own.

Murong Fu's lips curled slightly as he toyed with the Soul-Devouring Sword. This sword was forged from two evil objects, yet it possessed a majestic and imposing aura.

Murong Fu thought of the five volumes of the most powerful celestial book in this world.

One of them became the ultimate skill of the Qingyun Sect, Taiji Xuanqing Dao.

Secondly, there is the unique skill of Tianyin Temple, the Great Brahma Prajna.

Thirdly, it is the ultimate technique of the Demonic Ghost King Sect.

Fourthly, there are various exquisite magical arts.

Fifthly, it is the general outline of the Heavenly Book.

Although both are celestial books, they encompass Buddhism, demonism, and Taoism.

What does this mean?

This illustrates that the practice itself is neither good nor evil; it is all a matter of a single thought.

The same applies to magical artifacts.

If the Soul-Devouring Sword is used to slay demons and monsters, then it is a divine weapon of the righteous path.

If the Soul-Devouring Sword is used to slaughter all living beings, then it is a supreme treasure of the demonic path.

Suddenly.

Murong Fu's magical power surged, and his aura soared.

"Hmm? He's reached the second level of the Golden Core stage?"

Murong Fu was somewhat taken aback. This was the first time he had broken through a cultivation level on his own; in the past, he had relied entirely on his own efforts to establish his own lineage.

This feeling is not bad.

"Should we go and search for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book?"

Murong Fu immediately dismissed the idea as soon as it came to mind.

We're still a long way from being invincible in this realm, how can we go out and have fun?

Besides, in two or three months, Huang Rong and Tian Ling'er will be due to give birth, at which time there will be a major breakthrough.

How can I go out and have fun at such a crucial time?

"After the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, there should be opportunities for training. We can then take the opportunity to search for the Heavenly Book."

Murong Fu made up his mind.

...

Two and a half months later.

Huang Rong and Tian Ling'er were about to give birth.

Su Ru and Lin Yue Ru helped with the delivery.

Murong Fu, Tian Buyi, and many disciples of Dazhu Peak were anxiously waiting outside the hall.

An hour passed.

Du Bishu asked anxiously, "Why hasn't it been born yet?"

The other senior brothers joked, "Sixth brother, do you think giving birth is like a sow giving birth? It takes time."

"I wonder if the two junior sisters gave birth to boys or girls."

"Junior Brother Murong, you're about to become a father, how come you're still so calm?"

The senior brothers all surrounded Murong Fu.

Murong Fu smiled slightly: "Senior brothers, please don't tease me. I am anxious, but what's the use of being anxious?"

Tian Buyi, with a stern face, said, "You should all learn from Fu'er, who remains calm even when Mount Tai collapses before him..."

But before he could finish speaking, a 'twig' sound was heard and the palace door opened.

Su Ru came out, her expression normal, but a hint of weariness flashed deep in her eyes.

Behind him was Lin Yueru, who had a similar expression.

Both of them gave birth prematurely, but this was the only way to cover it up.

Therefore, two of the babies were premature, but it wasn't a big problem. They had already taken some kind of miracle cure, so the babies' health wouldn't be affected.

"Madam, how is she?" Tian Buyi had just finished speaking and remained calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai in front of him, but as soon as he saw Su Ru come out, he immediately asked anxiously.

Su Ru smiled and replied, "Mother and daughter are both safe. Ling'er and Rong'er both gave birth to twin daughters."

"Great news! I have a granddaughter!"

Tian Buyi was as happy as a child, grinning from ear to ear.
