The Tai'a sword let out a dragon's roar, and then strange characters and shackles appeared on its blade.
"This is the seal of the Tai'a Sword!" Mi Li exclaimed.
At this moment, a divine light flowed across the Tai'a sword, and all the faint shackles on it snapped off.
"Congratulations on successfully forging your weapon and breaking through to the Immortal Rank!"
The forging system's voice came through.
Zaun noticed that even through the raging flames, the Tai'a Sword was now radiating a cold light, appearing many times sharper than before, and a sword intent filled the room. Zaun was overjoyed; he hadn't expected that this breakthrough would casually break its own seal.
"Don't be careless, keep up the good work and bring it back to its true peak in one fell swoop," Mi Li reminded her, though her voice was also full of joy.
Zuan nodded. The Hongyuan Tribulation Gold in the cauldron was only consumed in a very thin layer, yet this alone allowed Tai'a to break through to the Immortal Rank.
However, his expression immediately turned serious, which proved that the energy required to break through to the God rank was far greater than that required to break through to the Immortal rank.
Sure enough, when he began his ascent to the God rank, the speed at which the indicator dial changed changed many times faster than before.
Under Mi Li's guidance, Zu An put the remaining Flying Fire Meteor Pills into the pot one by one. He dared not be distracted in the slightest and tried his best to control the strength of each flame.
Time seemed to drag on endlessly. Even with Zaun's willpower, he felt he couldn't hold on any longer. Forced by the flames and with the control pointer constantly kept within a suitable range, it was like dancing on a tightrope. Before long, he was drenched in sweat, and his vision began to blur.
Fortunately, he possessed the Primordial Chaos Scripture, which had astonishing restorative power, allowing him to grit his teeth and persevere.
Even if other cultivators had higher cultivation levels, they probably wouldn't have been able to maintain such a high intensity for so long.
He felt the heat inside his body growing stronger, his clothes were soaked, sticky and very uncomfortable, and it was even affecting his ability to control the hands of the watch face.
So he simply unleashed his energy, and all his clothes were shaken off.
The refining process inside the cauldron made Mi Li feel unbearably hot. She had already taken off her coat, leaving only her innermost garment, revealing large areas of her delicate skin on her arms and thighs.
Zuan's sudden act of tearing off her clothes startled her. Seeing the sweat dripping down his bulging muscles, her expression immediately became somewhat unnatural, and the scenes from when she was inside Chu Chuyan's body flashed through her mind.
She quickly shook her head to dispel these thoughts, then reached out and pulled a screen between the two of them, finally calming down.

"Master, what's wrong?" Zu'an was startled when he heard the commotion behind him.
"It's nothing, just focus on what's in front of you." Mi Li tried to keep her voice calm.
Zu An nodded, then fully activated the White Lotus True Fire, circulating his internal energy to its limit. He was drenched in sweat, feeling that he had lost far too much water in the past day and night.
After an unknown amount of time, Hong Yuan Jie Jin's volume shrank, and after a while, a notification sound came from his mind: "Detected that the weapon can be forged to break through to the God Rank. The breakthrough materials required are high-level Taotie Horn, high-level Scale of the Death Mother Insect, and water from Yushan Spirit Spring. Do you need to break through?"
Zuan was somewhat dazed. These were all extremely rare items; even someone as powerful as Zhao Hao might not be able to gather even one of them. It was clear that forging a divine weapon required...
But he just happened to have it; it was truly fate.
He placed the various materials from the glass bead into the cauldron one by one. Before long, a blinding divine light shone from the cauldron, followed by a terrifying sword aura that shot into the sky. Even though the buildings in the Little Demon Queen's palace had defensive formations, the roofs were blown off in an instant, and the sword aura soared into the clouds.
Sword energy stretches across 30,000 miles, a single sword's light chills nineteen continents!
