In the Senluo Sect of the Shiwandashan Mountains, Li Yuanba silently watched Elder Jian’s figure disappear into the clouds.

He felt deeply reluctant to leave, not knowing when they would meet again.

In his hand was a scroll of the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, which was handed to him by Elder Jian before he left. In case Elder Jian failed in his attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage, he would be the one to carry on the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion lineage on the Northern Shu Continent.

This Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion scroll represents Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, and at the same time, this Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion scroll is also a token of trust. If he has the opportunity to successfully impact the Nascent Soul stage, then he can return to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion with the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion scroll.

Li Yuanba withdrew his gaze and carefully put the scroll of Jian Yi Chong Xiao Pavilion into his storage bracelet.

During this period, Elder Jian strengthened his guidance. For this reason, Elder Jian delayed for quite a while before preparing to go to Sansheng Peak for retreat today.

Li Yuanba knew clearly that he did not have much time, maybe five years, or maybe just over two years. As long as the Jindan elders in the sect guessed that Elder Jian had gone into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, then they would reach out to the Wanjian Peak.

You have to know that Elder Jian had to spend at least ten years in seclusion to achieve the Nascent Soul stage. Not to mention that the success rate of achieving the Nascent Soul stage has always been extremely low, and most of the cultivators who try to achieve the Nascent Soul stage will end up dead.

As a sword cultivator, Elder Jian faces a greater risk of reaching the Nascent Soul stage than ordinary cultivators.

Li Yuanba believed that with the temperament of the sect's Jindan elders, as soon as they received the news, they would start testing, and then continue to intensify the harassment until they confirmed the matter of Elder Jian, then they would pounce and snatch Wanjian Peak away.

So he prepared to take action immediately, transforming Wanjian Peak while speeding up his own cultivation.

It is actually quite simple to speed up the cultivation process. All you have to do is take top-level elixirs to improve the effect of cultivation, and then use the Wanjian Peak to strengthen your sword intent.

Especially in terms of strengthening sword intent, since he became the master of Wanjian Peak, the influence of Wanjian Peak on his sword intent has increased several times.

His sword intent has only been generated for a short time, and is now in a period of rapid improvement.

A white lotus appeared under Li Yuanba's feet, and then another white lotus appeared more than a hundred meters away. His figure flashed and appeared on the second white lotus.

Now in Wanjian Peak, he can use the 'Lotus Step by Step' technique unscrupulously without worrying about being discovered by others.

After a series of flashes, he appeared at the foot of the Sword-Holding Peak.

Ever since he took control of Wanjian Peak, he sensed the difference between Wanjian Peak and ordinary mountains.

The Sword-Holding Peak is not connected to the earth, but is placed on a foundation made of ground rock. It can be said that the foot of the entire Sword-Holding Peak is separated from the ground, but is connected through a magic circle.

There is even a spiritual vein on Wanjian Peak itself. This spiritual vein is generated inside Wanjian Peak and has nothing to do with the main spiritual vein of the entire Senluo Sect.

Of course, the formation set up on Wanjian Peak can also call on the spiritual energy of the main spiritual vein of Senluo Sect for its own use at any time.

Li Yuanba took out a refining furnace. The height of the furnace alone was as tall as two people. A flame formation activated by medium-grade spirit stones was set at the bottom to provide flame support for refining.

This is the spiritual weapon refining furnace that he exchanged for with his contribution points. He has no spiritual fire, so he can only use the flame of the refining furnace to refine the weapon.

This spiritual weapon refining furnace can currently only refine spiritual weapons. Fortunately, the profession of weapon refiner does not have such strict requirements. As long as he has succeeded in making the elixir, he can use the elixir fire to refine weapons and can freely refine magic weapons.

As for Li Yuanba's level of weapon refining, this is attributed to his learning from his original body Li Shiming. The weapon refining knowledge learned by the original body was naturally shared with his clone Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba has no spiritual fire, nor the space for a machine room, and many of his refinements are far inferior to those of his original body, Li Shiming. However, his weapon refining level is still much better than that of ordinary weapon refiners. After all, he learned the top weapon refining inheritance, the 'Zhang Family Weapon Refining Inheritance'.

He took out a piece of second-grade refining metal from his storage bracelet, waited for the flame in the spiritual weapon refining furnace to reach the requirements, and then put the second-grade refining metal into it.

After the second-grade refining metal softened, he began to continuously use the 'Hundred Turns Purification Technique' to purify the second-grade refining metal.

Finally, the second-grade refining metal turned into liquid in the spiritual weapon refining furnace. Its purity also reached the requirements of refining. A shaping spell was issued, and the second-grade refining metal was transformed into the shape he needed.

At the moment when the second-grade refining metal was finalized and flew out of the spiritual weapon refining furnace, a third-grade sword base appeared in Li Yuanba's hand. At this time, the third-grade sword base turned into a carving knife, which engraved an array pattern on the finalized second-grade refining metal.

Afterwards, he used the magic attaching technique to solidify various required spell effects on the finalized second-grade refining metal.

Li Yuanba held a formed spiritual weapon in his hand. The weapon looked strange and no one knew what it was used for.

He placed the spiritual weapon on a rock at the foot of the mountain. The shape of the spiritual weapon was just right to hold the dozen or so flying swords on the rock, completely covering the exposed rock.

This strange shape is tailor-made for the local environment.

The array pattern built into the spiritual weapon echoes the array of Wanjian Peak. The spiritual weapon and Wanjian Peak form a whole, which is fixed on the surface of the rock.

Li Yuanba looked at his results. It took him an hour to refine the weapon this time. This was because he had divine consciousness. If he didn't have divine consciousness, the time would have doubled.

"It seems like I'll be busy from now on!" He looked helplessly at the area covered by the spiritual weapon, then looked at the entire Wanjian Peak and muttered to himself.

Although it is not necessary to cover all areas of Wanjian Peak with refining materials, the rocks at the Ten Thousand Flying Swords and the main structure of Wanjian Peak must be completely covered. Even those unimportant areas that do not need to be completely covered must be re-fixed with refining materials.

What he needed to do next was to add a layer of refining materials on the surface of Wanjian Peak. This was not only to strengthen Wanjian Peak, but also the basic work to make Wanjian Peak a magic weapon.

Of course, with his refining ability, the current operations are all preparatory work. The most important several third-grade refining materials are the core of transforming Wanjian Peak into a magic weapon, which can only be achieved after he becomes a Jindan stage cultivator.

He shook his head and put aside the thoughts in his mind. The most important task at the moment was to make preparations well.

He threw another piece of refining material into the spiritual weapon refining furnace and started refining it for the second time.

In the days that followed, Li Yuanba practiced and refined weapons almost day and night. He did not need to announce his retreat to the outside world when he was in Chijian Peak, because he and Elder Jian would never take the initiative to contact other cultivators in the sect unless there were special events in the sect.

Li Yuanba's main skill, 'Sword Intent Soaring into the Sky', was constantly improving with the continuous supply of top-level elixirs.

His cultivation conditions are almost the same as those of his original body, Li Shiming, and both are far beyond the cultivation conditions that a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage should have.

The spiritual veins of Wanjian Peak are sufficient to supply the cultivation of late Jindan cultivators, and there are enough top-level elixirs. The 'Sword Intent Soaring into the Sky' is the most advanced sword cultivation technique, and the sword intent contained in Wanjian Peak increases his sword intent. These are the conditions for Li Yuanba's cultivation.

This kind of life lasted for two months, and then the new year arrived.

News came from Patriarch Lu that he will go into seclusion in a month.

This is because Patriarch Lu knew that Elder Jian had entered the Nascent Soul stage and was preparing to reach it, so he paid extra attention to Li Yuanba. Otherwise, he would not have informed Li Yuanba of this news.

Only then did Li Yuanba realize that he needed to use this month to complete the tasks that the sect's disciples should do in the following year.

Originally, true disciples did not have to consider doing missions. This was considered the unspoken rule of true disciples. Many true disciples did not want to waste time doing missions, so they delegated their tasks to the disciples of the sect they had joined, and had them complete them on their behalf.

Since it is an unspoken rule, there is no actual sect rule to protect it. If Elder Jian was still here, he would not have to worry about anything happening. With Elder Jian's presence, all doubts can be resolved.

But now that Elder Jian has gone into seclusion, if the other Jindan elders were to cause trouble over this matter or to test him, it would still put him in a passive position.

So he decided to use this month, while Patriarch Lu was still in seclusion and could intimidate the Jindan elders, to complete next year's tasks.

Looking through the task list, he selected three combat tasks, which were also the simplest tasks. With the help of Senluo Sect's intelligence system, the target had already been located. He only needed to go and kill to complete the task.

In the Senluo Sect's mission hall, Elder Yue's identity jade disc vibrated slightly. This was a reminder he had specially set up. As long as his subordinates found any news that he was interested in, they would send him a message to inform him.

After Elder Yue read the information on the identity jade disc, a faint sneer appeared on his face.

Like many Jindan elders in the sect, he was extremely greedy for the Wanjian Peak. As a heritage for sword practitioners, the Wanjian Peak had been influenced by the sword intent for a long time, and had been contaminated by the sword intent from the inside out, becoming a spiritual object.

A spiritual object from a huge mountain can be refined into an extremely powerful magic weapon by simply adding some precious refining materials.

Due to the power of Elder Jian, the other Jindan elders could only think about this idea at most.

Only a few Jindan elders made plans for this, Elder Lu was one of them, and Elder Yue was also one of them.

Elder Yue had a clear goal in mind, which was that Elder Jian must strive to reach the Nascent Soul stage. After Elder Jian went into seclusion, Wanjian Peak became an empty sacred mountain with no one guarding it.

At that time, we just need to wait until Patriarch Lu goes into seclusion, and then we can start refining Wanjian Peak.

Even if Patriarch Lu pursues the matter later, Elder Yue will be blocked by the ancestors above him. As long as Elder Jian has not become a Nascent Soul, and even if he comes out of seclusion without any damage in his strength, Elder Yue has the confidence to fight against Elder Jian with the magic weapon refined by Wanjian Peak.

Elder Yue has always believed that Elder Jian’s use of Wanjian Peak is a huge waste.

When Wan Jian Feng is transformed into a magic weapon, its power is enough to suppress a cultivator in the Jindan stage. There is no need to treat it as just a thing of inheritance.

Besides, transforming Wanjian Peak into a magic weapon does not affect the inheritance function of Wanjian Peak.

In other words, Elder Jian is a sword cultivator who is single-mindedly focused on breaking all laws with one sword. It is with this belief that he treats Wanjian Peak in this way.

Originally, the appearance of Li Yuanba did not affect Elder Yue's idea of ​​waiting and watching.

But last time, Li Yuanba almost completely suppressed this generation of foundation-building disciples, which made Elder Yue feel a sense of crisis.

After Elder Jian accepted Li Yuanba, Elder Yue believed that it would take at least several decades for Li Yuanba to grow up, and Elder Jian did not have much time, so he would definitely strive for the Nascent Soul stage before Li Yuanba grew up.

But who would have thought that Li Yuanba's growth rate was so fast that in a short period of time, not only did his realm rise to the middle stage of foundation building, but his combat power was also extremely amazing.

Elder Yue didn't want to let Li Yuanba grow any further. If he continued to allow Li Yuanba to grow, he was afraid that when Elder Jian was preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, Li Yuanba would take over from Elder Jian and become the next guardian swordsman of Wanjian Peak.

Elder Yue also knew that Patriarch Lu had not yet gone into seclusion. Given his cautious attitude, it was impossible for him to personally take action against Li Yuanba at this time.

He took out a communication card and sent out an order.

Li Yuanba's figure turned into a sword light and went towards the mission target.

He did not have the invisibility ability of his original body Li Shiming, so he did not use the 'Lotus Step by Step' to travel, but the speed of sword escape in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Jue was not slow.

As for the sect's combat missions, he often carried out such missions during the period when he first entered the sect.

He trusted the sect's intelligence system and did not delay on the road, arriving at the first mission target in an almost straight line.

The target was a cultivator in the late foundation building stage. He was not a judge and did not care why he was an enemy of the Senluo Sect. He had no mercy in his heart. In his mind, there was no distinction between right and wrong, good and evil in the world of cultivation. There were only conflicts of interest.

The cultivator in the late foundation building stage was in a magic formation. This was his temporary cave. Although it was a temporary cave, he had lived here for a period of time, so the formation was very complete.

The cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage who was sitting in the cave suddenly opened his eyes. The hairs on his body stood up and waves of palpitations rose from his heart.

Even when he encountered a big monster in the wild, he did not feel such emotions.

He quickly activated the defensive magic weapon and added a defensive talisman.

Just at this moment, sword light appeared from the void. The formation that seemed extremely powerful to him could not even hold out for a moment in front of this sword light.

Li Yuanba has the formation knowledge of his original body, Li Shiming. In their eyes, all formations activated by formation plates are rubbish.

When Li Yuanba arrived at the target on his sword, he did not even pause for a moment. He directly scanned the formation with his divine sense and found its loophole.

His flying sword was shot out at the loopholes in the formation, which had the effect of breaking the formation with one sword.

Without the protection of the formation, the flying sword continued to shoot at the cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage. Before the cultivator could resist, the flying sword broke through his two lines of defense in a brutal and unreasonable manner and killed him on the spot.
