In the timeline, it is only said that Li Chen unleashed a beam of dark light, and Venerable Yuqing vomited blood and collapsed to the ground. He barely managed to send a message through a communication talisman before falling into a coma, never to wake up again until his death.
Emperor Xiu did not expect that his spiritual consciousness was shattered. He also did not have any relevant pill formulas in his memory. He could only deal with other matters first and then spend time deduce the pill formulas later.
Venerable Yuqing could have lived for another ten years, but now that the formation is protecting him, he will live even longer. There is no need to worry about him getting into trouble for the time being.
Among the other things, reforging one's natal spirit sword is one of the simplest, and also one of the few things that can be done at present.
Thanks to the arrest warrant issued by Taiyi Sect, even now that he has left the sect, he will most likely still be in a state of wanton attack. Until Li Chen's evil deeds are made public, he and the deceased souls will probably not be able to find peace.
Although Li Chen was the ringleader, the system that plundered the cheat system was both the original sin and an accomplice. Before Li Chen, there may have been other worlds that suffered the same fate. He must kill it.
Even if he escapes this world.
He went to the original owner's residence, sorted through his remaining possessions, and put them into his wristband. Then, ignoring the Fifth Elder's enthusiastic rambling, he went to Wuyang Peak to borrow a furnace cauldron.
The Second Elder was absent, but another elder who was not ranked was present. Knowing that the Sect Master had declared Xiao Lingchuan innocent, he still agreed to borrow the furnace despite having a hundred questions and confusions in his mind.
However, he stopped halfway through nodding and asked Di Xiu, "You don't know how to forge weapons, so what would I do with you? You want to rebuild the blade of your natal sword? Wouldn't it be a mess if you did it yourself? Your sword has already developed a sword spirit, don't let it fall apart... Give it to me, I'll rebuild the blade for you."
Di Xiu was thinking about how he could convince Elder Xiang that he could forge weapons.
Suddenly a loud voice rang out from the sky: "Young man, I knew you were here."
Emperor Xiu looked up and saw the Supreme Elder. Two elders beside him bowed respectfully and called out, "Grandmaster Uncle."
The Supreme Elder stroked his goatee, glanced sideways at Di Xiu, and said with displeasure, "You junior, you don't even greet people properly, you're really impolite."
After hesitating for a moment, Di Xiu finally made the difficult decision to do as the locals do.
"Greetings, Supreme Elder."
"Hey, that's too formal. Call him Grandmaster Uncle."
"If that doesn't work, you can call me Master."
The Fifth Elder cautiously reminded him, "Grandmaster Uncle, this messes up the seniority."
"Hey, mind your own business, kid. What are you doing at Wuyang Peak, a spirit array master?"
The Fifth Elder remained silent, feeling somewhat burdened by his seniority and embarrassed to openly discuss his seeking guidance on formations from a junior.
After teasing him a couple more times, the Supreme Elder saw that Di Xiu remained silent with a blank expression, glanced at the broken sword in his hand, and sighed.
He turned to look at him and said in a deep voice, "The Taiyi Sect failed in its duty to investigate this matter, causing you to suffer injustice. I will forge this sword for you. I possess a different kind of fire, and my private collection of materials is also more abundant than yours, so I will definitely forge it better than you. You are a spirit sword master, and you must not be careless with your natal sword."
Emperor Xiu hesitated slightly, then cupped his hands in thanks: "In that case, I will trouble the Supreme Elder."
"Give me the sword, and I'll return it to you in perfect condition in a month."
The Supreme Elder took the sword from Emperor Xiu's hand and suddenly exclaimed, "Eh!": "Your sword spirit shows no signs of dissipating."
These newly born sword spirits are extremely fragile. When the sword is damaged, the spirit dissipates. Even though the sword is in such a state, the sword spirit is still perfectly fine.
Di Xiu paused for a moment, then said, "Perhaps because it... is strong."
The broken sword trembled slightly, as if in agreement.
The Supreme Elder didn't think much of it. After all, there were many inexplicable things in this world. He had already gone through the baptism of the name "Li Chen," so this little thing was nothing.
The Supreme Elder took his sword and left, and the Fifth Elder was also summoned away by a message.
Emperor Xiu borrowed a furnace from Wuyang Peak and took it with him. He then went around to find the young elder to repay his debt and went into seclusion upon returning.
When the Fifth Elder turned around to look for someone, he could only stare blankly at the "Do Not Disturb" sign at the cave entrance. Going any further would trigger the formation, something only a person of good character could do.
Reluctantly, he was about to leave when something flew out of the cave. He caught it instinctively, took a closer look, and then ran away happily.
Emperor Xiu lit the furnace with spiritual fire and began refining the weapon using the miscellaneous materials in his hands.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. Emperor Xiu had seven or eight discarded compasses around him, but he kept his eyes fixed on the furnace until it emitted a bronze light. He then made a hand seal, and a wisp of pale golden light emerged from his body and was instantly cast into the furnace.
The light on the stove began to shift, and Di Xiu took the opportunity to increase the heat.
Half a day later, the light finally turned golden. He slapped the cauldron with his palm, and the cauldron spun, the lid flew off, and a ball of golden light shot out from it and landed in his palm. After the light faded, it revealed a simple and unadorned bronze appearance, with only the pointer on it being a faint gold color.
Emperor Xiu examined it carefully and slowly exhaled.
He failed eight times in a row before finally managing to create one; this failure rate was unprecedented for him.
The materials stored up by the original owner were not contributed to the natal sword, but were mostly used to forge this compass.
He gathered up the scraps on the ground, tidied himself up, and then left the gate.
The night was just right. He picked up the compass, infused it with spiritual power, and began to test its effects. The pointer gradually brightened, and a wisp of pale golden mist rose from the pointer, floating erratically. Then the pointer slowly pointed to a 20-degree angle north of east.
Emperor Xiu frowned slightly, still not entirely satisfied, but the materials at hand were all he could manage.
I'm just too strapped for cash.
He then went to check on the original owner's master. The person guarding him had been replaced by another elder from Biyun Peak. Emperor Xiu nodded slightly as a greeting, and after checking that Venerable Yuqing's condition had not worsened, he returned.
The next day, just as he was about to go to see the Supreme Elder, Wen Yimin came to find him first.
"I'll go get the sword first."
“Alright, senior brother, I’ll go with you.”
Each Supreme Elder has their own independent blessed land, which is their own mountain. Wherever there is an array that prevents flying, teleportation, and approaching, there is definitely a Supreme Elder in seclusion there.
The two teleported to the foot of the mountain. On the way up, Di Xiu asked, "How is the matter with Li Chen?"
Wen Yimin smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "Senior brother has just come out of seclusion and has not yet been to Canghan Peak. He probably does not know that Lingyun Palace has been smashed and Canghan Peak has been reduced by 30%."
"..."
It's not that it's incomprehensible.
Taiyi Sect is hailed as the number one sect for three reasons: first, it has many top-tier experts; second, its new generation of disciples are very capable; and third, it has a good reputation as a leader in eliminating evil and protecting the righteous path. Therefore, the four sects and eight families are all willing to give it face.
But now, some of them have lost their hard-earned successors, some of their female disciples have been deceived by Li Chen, and some have had their sects/families' sacred artifacts stolen.
The four sects and eight families were collectively enraged and needed someone to vent their anger on. The reputation of the Taiyi Sect was useless at this moment, so Li Chen and the plundering system took the fall.
"Is anyone injured?"
"No, that's not true. As for Li Chen, he has been reduced to ashes and his soul has been scattered."
"He got off too easily."
Wen Yimin didn't mention that Li Chen was killed while covered in Soul-Suppressing Talismans, because for the person in front of him, not being able to send him to his death was indeed too good for him.
