Chapter 344 - Seventh-Level of the True Core Realm

Liu Wuxie's action alarmed the higher-ups of the Profound Spirit Pavilion, who walked out of their rooms and looked at the depth of the courtyard.

"Who's forging a weapon to create such a terrifying phenomenon?"

Liu Wuxie was unaware of everything happening outside because he was in the cultivation chamber. A thick layer of thunderclouds appeared above his cultivation chamber. Lightning flashed, a sign that a tribulation was descending.

"The tribulation only appears when forging an origin artifact. Could there be a Nascent Transformation Realm expert attempting such a feat?" An old man in the Astral River Realm gazed at the sky, his expression filled with horror.

More higher-ups of the Profound Spirit Pavilion gathered with disbelief on their faces.

"Have you investigated who's in the seventh courtyard?" asked the old man who spoke earlier.

"It's a junior in the sixth-level True Core Realm." The deacon in charge of the counter took out a book detailing a young man who had entered the seventh courtyard.

He had a deep impression of Liu Wuxie, who had paid 150,000 spirit stones without hesitation. He was surprised back then because this amount wasn't something ordinary cultivators in the True Core Realm could come up with.

"Sixth level of the True Core Realm?" Everyone looked at each other with shock because this wasn't something ordinary cultivators in the sixth level could achieve.

Thunder dragons began shuttling in the thunderclouds, opening their mouths and spitting countless lightning bolts.

When the first strand of spiritual rune entered the Heretic Blade, it caused the entire cultivation chamber to tremble violently.

Cracks began to appear on the surface of the Heretic Blade because the spiritual rune was too powerful, while the Heretic Blade's grade was too low. This was the same as trying to squeeze a giant meteorite into a bowl.

There was no way a bowl could fit a giant meteorite. The Heretic Blade was the bowl, while the spiritual rune was a massive meteorite. The slightest mistake could destroy the Heretic Blade.

"Array flags!" Liu Wuxie inserted ten array flags into the surroundings, causing a gust of wind in the cultivation chamber. Spiritual energy began to be drawn from underground to replenish his dantian.

"Repair spiritual rune!" A golden spiritual rune was like a tadpole seeping into the cracks on the Heretic Blade.

This spiritual rune began to repair the cracks on the Heretic Blade, but the spiritual rune continued to impact the blade's interior, destroying countless spiritual runes inside.

Beads of sweat rolled down Liu Wuxie's forehead as he began inscribing spiritual runes meant to repair, but this was risky. Injecting spirituality could stimulate the xiantian spirit, allowing it to awaken quickly.

This was a dangerous approach because the Heretic Blade was just upgraded to a spiritual treasure, and forcing the xiantian spirit to awaken would lead to its death and the disappearance of spirituality.

However, Liu Wuxie didn't have a choice but to make this move, and he poured all the liquified spiritual energy from the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron into the Heretic Blade.

The xiantian spirit pulsated and expanded. It hadn't awakened yet, but its spirituality was significantly strengthened. Liu Wuxie suppressed the heavenly artifact's spiritual rune, and the Heretic Blade's repairing speed increased.

"Fire!" Boundless flames engulfed the heavenly artifact's spiritual rune, slowly erasing the imprint and causing the spiritual rune to become transparent.

The heavenly artifact's spiritual rune began to melt under the flame and burrowed into that wisp of spirituality through a liquid form. But right then, a terrifying thunderbolt descended from the sky and struck the Heretic Blade, leaving a crack in it.

In just one breath, Liu Wuxie had devoured over a hundred thousand spirit stones, and the Profound Spirit Pavilion would suffer a huge loss if this carried on. In addition to the two hundred thousand spirit stones he had taken out, this breakthrough consumed over three hundred thousand.

This meant the resources Liu Wuxie required when reaching the ninth-level True Core Realm or Heavenly Dipper Realm would reach an astronomical sum.

"We can still afford this loss. Let's keep watching." A hundred thousand spirit stones were a negligible sum for the Profound Spirit Pavilion.

The seventh level of the True Core Realm was a whole new world, with true essence and soul energy reaching a whole new level.

Thunderbolts suddenly surged in, wanting to destroy Liu Wuxie as well.

"How dare you!" Liu Wuxie grabbed the thunderbolts in his palm, rendering them immobile. If someone saw this scene, they would probably be scared to death.

After all, lightning manifested heaven's might, and no mortal would dare to commit blasphemy against it.

But lightning couldn’t harm Liu Wuxie, and he threw it into the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron, further increasing the lightning in the world in his dantian.

After losing the suppression of lightning, the Heretic Blade's advancement accelerated. Even so, it was still maintained at the level of an ordinary spiritual treasure, but the spirituality was even stronger than the xiantian spirit.

This naturally left Liu Wuxie puzzled. The xiantian spirit might not have awakened, but the spirituality was stronger than the ordinary xiantian spirit. Even the xiantian treasure sold in the auction couldn't be compared to the Heretic Blade.

This meant that spirituality would reach a horrifying height when the Heretic Blade advanced to a xiantian treasure.

The crack created by lightning was repaired, and the Heretic Blade grew longer. It now looked like a longsword with an edge on one side.

No one had seen a single-edged longsword before, and the Heretic Blade deviated from the blade's category, while it couldn't be considered a sword either. It possessed the dominance of a blade and the sharpness of a sword, becoming a unique existence.

In addition to spiritual runes from the heavenly artifact's fragment, the Heretic Blade became indestructible. It released a faint ripple, and the surrounding space couldn't withstand the Heretic Blade's aura.

The thunderclouds began to disperse because the Heretic Blade was formed, which was impossible to destroy now.

"Thunder tempering!" Liu Wuxie didn't give up this excellent opportunity to temper the Heretic Blade with lightning. He grabbed a few thunderbolts and struck the Heretic Blade with them.

Lightning arcs danced on the Heretic Blade, etching a layer of intricate snowflake patterns onto its surface. Each snowflake appeared meticulously tempered, though the thunderbolts might have felt aggrieved if they possessed consciousness.

The purpose of the thunderbolts was to destroy the Heretic Blade, but Liu Wuxie used them to temper his blade instead. This made the thunderclouds disperse in the sky even faster.

After the thunderclouds dispersed, the thunderbolts Liu Wuxie had captured significantly weakened. The cultivation chamber gradually regained calm, and Liu Wuxie settled down, crossing his legs.

Liu Wuxie threw up a mouthful of blood because he had to endure the consecutive thunderbolts while refining the heavenly artifact's spiritual runes forcibly. This process inflicted severe injuries on his body, and he needed time to heal them.

His body was severely ravaged, and he waited till the thunderclouds dispersed before regulating his breathing. The Desolate Devouring Art continued to devour spiritual energy while he took out pills from his interspatial pouch.

He had prepared a lot of pills before coming out on the missions, and the mysterious tree also released wood-attributed energy into his body. This instantly allowed him to heal his injuries.

Only two days had passed in the outside world, which equated to twenty days in the cultivation chamber. Liu Wuxie planned to use the remaining time to consolidate his cultivation.
