However, under Hong Ling's punch that was filled with dark golden lightning, it instantly shattered and turned into a bunch of majestic Spiritual Power s.

With a thought from Hong Ling, all the Spiritual Power entered his body. His originally stagnant cultivation, at this moment, loosened up.

Bang, a majestic aura burst forth, Hong Ling's cultivation in that instant, rushing to a new realm. In the Divine Hall, his consciousness had naturally appeared, and his Authentic Qi had transformed once again.

"Early Qi Refinement into Spirit!" Hong Ling was overjoyed in his heart. However, this was not what made him happy the most, he suddenly discovered that he had a strange feeling about the stars in the sky.

The starlight that came from the void of the universe seemed to be able to be attracted by him, and even the black holes that vaguely appeared within his mind, emitted tyrannical fluctuations of the Spiritual Power.

With a thought, he attempted to draw in the starlight from the stars. In an instant, the starlight descended from the skies around him, enveloping his entire body. His limbs and bones were actually able to automatically absorb these Spiritual Power.

Hong Ling was overjoyed. After the rise of the cultivators, the Spiritual Power between heaven and earth had become more and more sparse, and only the sects where some of the great powers resided had the incomparably dense Spiritual Power s. He had never heard of such a thing before.

As for him, after connecting with the stars in the sky, he no longer had to worry about the problem of Spiritual Power being exhausted. As long as he willed it, he could draw the Spiritual Power which was everywhere in the vast universe.

Hong Ling quickly calmed himself down, since Lian Chengyue was still fighting with her in the future, there would not be a victor in the near future. He thought for a moment, then took out the Heavenly Desolate Flame Mantra.

Now that he had successfully broken through to the early stage of Qi Refinement into Spirit and possessed an incomparably tyrannical Authentic Qi, coupled with breaking through the tenth Heavenly Fate Barrier, he naturally had the qualifications to cultivate the Heavenly Desolate Flame Mantra.

The Flame Mantra of the Desolate Heaven was essentially just a secret art. However, the level of this secret art already far surpassed the scope of Celestial Rank, so the prerequisite for cultivation was that one had to break through the tenth layer of the Heaven's Mandate barrier.

He could clearly feel that his own Authentic Qi s had formed a new circuit in his body. He was originally accustomed to the circulation route of the Jiuzhuan Profound Technique, but at this moment, this secret technique had created a new circuit which he was not used to.

Fortunately, this route only consumed the Authentic Qi s and did not produce new ones.

Bang, a ball of dark golden flames appeared on Hong Ling's right hand. In an instant, the circulation route in his body came to a halt as the divine intent in the Divine Court naturally surged out, merging into the ball of dark golden flames and turned into firewood.

"Using the Authentic Qi as the base, condense a flame, and use your consciousness as firewood to support the flame. This Sacred Flame is truly powerful! " Hong Ling stared at the dark golden flame on his right hand, sensing the blazing heat within, his eyes filled with shock.

However, Hong Ling was not naive enough to think that it was just an ordinary ball of flame. With a thought, he took out the iron sword that Lian Chengyue had gifted him.

He used his Spiritual Sense and quietly held the black iron sword in the air. With a thought, he threw out the dark golden Holy Desolation Flame, attaching it to the black iron sword.

Chi, the entire black iron sword instantly combusted into a ball of molten metal, slowly shrinking. Hong Ling looked at the gradually shrinking molten metal, his eyes filled with amazement.

Mysterious Iron, without a doubt, was a Sky Meteorite Iron. During the process of falling from the meteors, the high temperature produced by the meteors had refined all of the impurities to the extreme. However, the Heavenly Sacred Flame could even further refine the purity of the Mysterious Iron, how could this not shock him?

This profound steel sword originally weighed a hundred kilograms. However, after being burned by the Desolate Heavenly Sacred Flame, Hong Ling felt that the remaining portion was already not even one kilogram. When the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame was finally unable to burn off any more impurities from the black iron, he looked at the tiny crystal with a sad look on his face and smiled wryly.

The crystal had lost its original metallic luster and was now glowing with a dark glazed color. However, not to mention a sword, even Hong Ling would find it hard to forge a dagger out of such a small crystal.

Suddenly, he remembered that there was a very large piece of black iron in his spatial ring. It was the Meteorite Black Iron he had obtained from the Heavenly Desolate Martial Meet. With a thought, he took out the watermelon sized piece of black iron and burned it with the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame.

Very quickly, Hong Ling obtained another black crystal that was the size of a fist. Currently, two pieces of black iron crystals, in the eyes of the youth, was enough to forge a dagger.

Just as she was thinking, Lian Chengyue had already defeated the future generations, and immediately broke through the Heaven's Mandate Barrier, the young lady finished absorbing all the Spiritual Power, and looked towards Hong Ling, walking over.

"Eh? Hong Ling, the two things in your hands, are they the legendary profound crystals?" The young girl tilted her head as she asked doubtfully.

This was the first time Hong Ling had heard of Profound Crystals, however, he himself did not know much about ores, so he would naturally not dare to be sure.

"Ah Yue, I don't know what this thing is either. I only know that it was something that I obtained after melting the sword you gave me and the piece of Meteorite Profound Iron from the Heavenly Desolate Martial Conference!" Hong Ling laughed bitterly.

"The crystal that you obtained after melting the darksteel, could it be that you have successfully formed the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame?" Lian Chengyue was shocked, and looked at Hong Ling with a little disbelief.

The youth nodded and with a thought, a dark golden flame once again appeared in his hand.

"Look, this is the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame mentioned in the Heavenly Desolation Flame Transformation Art. This thing can melt darksteel without any effort!"

Hong Ling looked at the flames in his hands, and once again burned the two black crystals. They melted into a crystal that was a size larger than a fist.

Lian Chengyue curiously stared at the rhombus-shaped crystal in her hand, flipping it over and over. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, casually took out an ancient book, and quickly flipped through it.

"Found it, it's really the legendary Xuan Crystals!" She pointed to the lines of words on the ancient book and said to Hong Ling.

The young man curiously moved closer to take a look and shockingly discovered the description of the mystical crystals on it. After comparing it with the black crystal, he had a strange expression on his face.

"Xuan Crystals, after thousands of purifications, the Xuan Iron has obtained a crystal, which is one of the materials to forge a Divine Equipment. Its color is black and it has an unbreakable glazed luster."

Lian Chengyue looked at the black crystal in his hand, his eyes filled with unconcealable curiosity.

"Indestructible, I wonder if that's true!" She then took out her sword and slashed at the tip of her black crystal sword. With a 'chi' sound, the red sword broke.

Hong Ling's gaze focused, he knew that Lian Chengyue's sword was of a higher level than the hundred refined steel swords in his spatial ring. However, it actually could not withstand the black crystal's casual slashes.

"Could it really be Xuan Crystals?" Hong Ling still didn't quite believe it.

Lian Chengyue turned around and stared at him as if he was looking at an idiot.

"Idiot Hong Ling, this thing, is really a profound crystal, and it's even the best one in the legends!"

Lian Chengyue stared at her sword with a heartbroken expression. Abruptly, she tossed the Profound Crystal back to Hong Ling, sat down cross-legged, and performed a profound hand gesture.

Bang! A ball of white-gold colored flame appeared in her palm. The young girl looked at the flame in her hand with suspicion.

"Hong Ling, why is the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame that I condensed different from your color?"

Hong Ling was stunned. How could this fellow condense the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame so easily? Although the color was different, he could tell that it was indeed the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame.

"Perhaps it is because the cultivation technique you and I cultivate is different!" Hong Ling was a little unsure. The cultivation technique Lian Chengyue cultivated was inherited from the Phoenix, the Nine-Li Heavenly Flame Technique. Adding to that, her own bloodline was the Phoenix's, so in the young man's eyes, the change in the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame was not that strange.

"Is that so?" Lian Chengyue stared at the flame in his hand absent-mindedly, "Then let me try to see if this flame can melt my sword!"

With another thought, the white-gold flame devoured the two swords. With a 'chi chi' sound, the swords were completely refined and a small diamond-shaped crystal the size of a thumb appeared in the air.

Lian Chengyue withdrew the flame and with a casual wave of her hand, she grabbed the fiery red crystal in her hand. She then casually flipped through the ancient book in her hand and looked at the fiery red crystal in her hand.

"This is a copper crystal. Last time I saw one the size of a fingernail in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, it sold for as much as a million gold taels. I wonder how much this one in my hand can sell for!"

Hong Ling facepalmed, not looking at her greedy look. It was an ancient book on alchemy, which had been passed down since ancient times. To someone like him who possessed the flames of artifact forging, it was very attractive.

Lian Chengyue seemed to see the curiosity in Hong Ling's eyes, she casually threw the ancient scroll in her hand to the youth, only to see him take it.

"Hehe, Hong Ling, I will give you this ancient book, how about you forge something for me?" The young girl smiled slightly.

"For me?" Hong Ling felt overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, "Are you sure you want to gift it to me?"

"Of course!" Lian Chengyue nodded her head like a chick pecking rice grains, "I have long finished reading this book, but I have memorized the contents since I was young, so it is not of much use to me!"

"Then what do you want me to get for you?" Hong Ling asked bluntly as he kept the ancient book.

"En, use the gold in your spatial ring to help me make a hairpin. However, the gold needs to be refined into a gold crystal using the Heavenly Sacred Flame!" Lian Chengyue said with a mischievous smile.
