Chapter 29: Re-casting Beast Slayer, The Swords Starlight

The primordial chaos shaped the heavens and created man. There was immemorial iron called stars. There were gods in the sky who used their broken bones to create weapons. Amongst the void, there was an immortal emperor. By worshipping the emperor, one can come to understand the mysteries of the world. The body can turn into boundlessness, something capable of housing all living beings. The eyes became the sun and moon, and their breath was the thunder. When the dream was over, all worlds met oblivion.[1]

In the crafting room inside the Si Fan Palace, Ning Fan sat crossed-legged in front of a Metal Casting Cauldron with Beast Slayer in his hand while recalling the fragmented verses of Ancient Chaos.

Dao Scripture Rumors has it that it was a scripture from the primordial chaos passed down by the Immemorial Immortal King. In the fragmented memories of Ancient Chaos, there was only a short passage.

In the short section of the Dao Scripture, there was the history of the Immemorial Era along with a short line referring to Immemorial Stars.

The Immemorial Stars were used to create weapons that couldnt be used unless the wielders were Fiendgods. Even though there were only a few broken stars inside Beast Slayer, but in terms of value, it would be difficult to find a second item!

The only thing that dissatisfied Ning Fan was that Si Wuxies crafting skill was too poor. There were too many impurities which limited the amazing effects of the Immemorial Stars.

Ning Fans eyes were clear and calm, but each blink revealed the vicissitudes from the ancient past. With great insight, he wanted to see through all the flaws on Beast Slayer.

Seventh Gold for the blade edges, Thunderous Silver for the tip, Earth Steel for the body this sword used many rare minerals and reached the finest grade because of it. It could be considered a famous sword, but in the end, it could only be a famous sword. Without the amazing property of the Immemorial Stars, it wouldnt become a divine sword.

I need to remove the impurities. Outside of the Seventh Gold, Thunderous Silver, and Earth Steel, the rest must be removed via refinement

Ning Fan curled his finger then shot out a command at the sword. Beast Slayer turned into a gleam of steel and flew into the cauldron.

This cauldron only had an Earth Vein Flame, so the fire power was not great. In order to temper such a divine weapon like Beast Slayer, it would need several months.

Ning Fan was not in the mood to wait for several months.

He took a breath and then spewed out a Yin Yang Flame from his mouth straight into the cauldron to strengthen the Earth Flame.

With the power of the Yin Yang Flame, Beast Slayers body will melt in three days at the latest.

Ning Fans magical power could only last for up to two hours when using the Yin Yang Flame to refine the weapon.

He took out a bottle of pills and placed it in front of him. There were Rising Origin Dan, Restoration Spirit Dan, and Spring Return Dan they were all pills used to quickly restore depleted energy.

Time flew by as fast as flowing water. Ning Fans divine will controlled the cauldrons flame for three whole days. Beast Slayer gradually turned into liquid metal.

A stream of hot air sprung out from the cauldron and unbearably blew right into Ning Fans face, burning his hair. The dissolution of a finest rank sword emitted a powerful energy that was seemingly able to shatter the Metal Casting Cauldron. And once this energy ran wild, the entire palace would also be razed to the ground.

Ning Fans gaze became serious. He was looking down on the impending danger from melting Beast Slayer. He needed to separate the immortal minerals before the spirit energy explodes!

Ning Fan tapped on his storage pouch and unhesitatingly took out the Shadow Chasing Sword and performed a Fire Transformation Sword. The sword shadows extracted the different metals one by one in the cauldron.

Violet Ashes, extracted

Dragon Cold Jade, extracted

Vermillion Iron Essence, extracted

Tearless Crystal, extracted

With the removal of each immortal mineral, the rank of Beast Slayer sharply fell from peak middle rank high, medium, then low. Then, it fell down to peak inferior rank high, medium, then low. Eventually, it almost dropped down from a spirit treasure to a mortal weapon.

Ning Fan shouted coldly. If it dropped down to a mortal weapon, then all of this would be for naught.

He withdrewed the Shadow Chasing Sword and bit his fingertip. He then dripped the blood into the cauldron and onto the swords body to protect Beast Slayers rank from dropping down any further.

With the blood as a catalyst, its rank stayed in the same place without dropping at low inferior rank. Seeing this, Ning Fan finally took a breath of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead as he slightly smiled. The remaining tasks were simple from now on.

Ning Fan took several more pills and waited for his magical power to replenish. He swung his sleeve to reverse the cauldrons flame. The flame temperature plummeted, and Beast Slayer started to take shape.

After half the time it took for an incense stick to burn, a sword hymn came from within the cauldron. Ning Fan tapped on the cover and a streak of starlight sneaked out of the cauldron as it hovered around his body.

The starlight was as clear as water and very light, just like an icy rainbow very pretty looking.

Ning Fan pointed at the starlight, and it immediately turned into a three-foot sword that fell onto his palm with a still-burning heat.

He opened his mouth and sucked in the Yin Yang Flame from the cauldron and then put out its own fire. Ning Fan then meticulously observed Beast Slayer and revealed a satisfactory expression.

At this moment, Beast Slayer was only a low inferior ranked spirit treasure, but it regained its ability to rank up.

Before, when Beast Slayer was at its highest movement speed, there was only a glint of steel and no starlight. The reason was because there were too many impurities hampering the effects of the Immemorial Stars.

But at this time, the starlight of the sword shined like a celestial even though its rank was still low. One day, it will become a stunning divine weapon of a Godfiend that was capable of cutting through all existences!

Ning Fan held the sword and cut his arm to use his blood for the sword ceremony.

The blood basking it signified the official rebirth of Beast Slayer as it once again accepted Ning Fan as its master!

In a flash, the shadow of the sword flashed, and all of Seven Apricot Citys sky was covered with a sword brilliance. Even though it was during the day, one could see the bright stars for a hundred miles. Such a strange phenomenon alarmed everyone, including the four Seven Apricot Clans Wu, Ye, Mo, and Fang. Yuchi, who was taking care of his pig; Situ, who was practicing the sword; and Nangong, who was looking at his compass, were all shocked.

Countless people came out of their buildings to look at the sky in astonishment.

The stars appearing in the middle of the day signaled the birth of a divine weapon. This was only a rumor of an immemorial legend, but the people from Seven Apricot City actually had the privilege to see such a sight.

Stars during the day, the birth of a divine weapon Could it be that the Fang Clans old devil managed to create a treasure of the divine weapon rank? How is this possible?

I dont think so It could be a Spirit Augmentation Master from the Mo Clan creating a new Spirit Equipment or a magical treasure and adorned it with an unimaginable divine power

Countless people speculated about the appearance of the visual phenomenon. However, the vision only lasted for ten breaths before disappearing from the sky. No one knew who actually created this divine weapon.

Little Ning, you once again shocked me Immemorial divine weapon To be able to refine such a thing In the future, if you could go to the Four Heavens immortal world, maybe you could even compete against the countless Godfiend descendants!

The old monster shook his head and became lost in contemplation. However, during his daze, the dan cauldron once again resounded as ashes flew up. The cauldron exploded again

Four Revolutions Dan, my Four Revolutions Dan Only a bit more, only a bit longer and it would have been complete! I dont want to live anymore, dont want to live anymore!

This was the memorable 61st cauldron explosion of his

Ning Fan pushed the doors and left the crafting room while the sword shadows starlight was still hovering around him.

A cold murderous intent came from the sword shadow. In a radius of three zhang around Ning Fan, all the falling snowflakes around him were cut in half by the sword energy.

Such sharp sword gleams! With just this sword, Ning Fan would be able to decapitate a level ten Vein Opening without using any magical power. And if he used this sword to perform the Fire Transformation Sword, unless it was a peak Harmonious Spirit, he was confident that no one could withstand one slash from him within the late Harmonious Spirit realm!

He sucked inward and the sword shadows starlight was inhaled into his stomach. It condensed into his dantian right next to the Yin Yang Locket.

Under the permeation of magical power from the evil veins, Beast Slayer used an unfathomable speed to gradually evolve.

There were two different ways for immemorial divine weapons to rank up. One was through refinement via magical power. The other was to kill people and use the blood to rank up.

Ning Fan exhaled a long breath after withdrawing the sword into his body. He was not completely satisfied and wanted to use another method outside of ranking up to quickly increase the power of Beast Slayer.

Spirit Augmentation! He needed to add a divine power to Beast Slayer!

With the addition of Body Locking, it will slow the enemies down when the sword appeared.

With the addition of Shadow Chasing, it allowed for Beast Slayer to pursue its enemy.

With the addition of Wind Boost, it increased the unsheathing speed of Beast Slayer.

Spirit Augmentations did not affect the ranking up of Beast Slayer; on the contrary, it could make the sword even more perfect.

But unfortunately, Ning Fan did not know how to spirit augment. It was a new job that the cultivation world came up with and was not mentioned in Ancient Chaoss memories.

Even though Ning Fan couldnt do it, there was fortunately one decently ranked Spirit Augmentation Master in Seven Apricot City.

There were seven different powers in the old monsters Seven Apricot City. Within it, the Black Evil three guards controlled the battle power while the Seven Apricot Four Clans engaged in logistics.

The Seven Apricot Four Clans (Wu, Ye, Mo, and Fang) were all gifted in assisting trades. The Wu Clans ancestor, Wu Lan, was known as Beauty Lan and was a Formation Master of the Dan rank. The Ye Clans ancestor, Ye Huan, referred by others as Cloud Demon Huan, was an Immortal Cloud Master of the Three Clouds rank. The Fang Clans ancestor, Fang Nuo, or also Regional Treasure Nuo, was a Crafting Master of the Dan Treasure rank. His biggest achievement was a peak middle magical treasure; this treasure was adored by a Gold Core old devil.

The last clan of the four was the Mo Clan. Its ancestor, Mo Rushui, also known as Goddess Shui, knew how to create Spirit Equipment the best, along with Spirit Augmentation. She was a Spirit Augmentation Master of the Dan Treasure rank.

The Body Locking divine power on the Dan Fragmentation Cauldron of the old monster belonged to a rare class, and it was augmented by this Mo Rushui.

In the Four Heavens and the Nine Worlds, Spirit Augmentation Masters were much more respected than Dan Masters and Crafting Masters. Rumors has it that the qualifications to become one was extremely stringent. As for the exact details, it was unknown.

Ning Fan slightly smiled. Since the impurities were cut off from his Beast Slayer, he could now go to find this Mo Rushui and add power to his sword.

If this was possible, then his battle power would be increased by quite a bit.

He returned to the room and, after some gentleness with Zhihe, he left the Si Fan Palace and went straight to the Mo Clan in Seven Apricot Citys southern city.

At this moment, the Seven Apricot Mo Clans several hundred guards were all standing guard outside of the entrance in a formation.

There were not only Mo guards, but also guards from the Wu, Fang, and Ye clans.

The four clan masters were gathered at the Mo Clan. Inside the grand hall, everyone had a serious expression.

The Mo Clans Mo Rushui was a young girl dressed in black. Although she was more than three hundred years old, she was still shapely with a cold and beautiful pair of eyes. She was looking at the four people who were standing arrogantly inside the hall.

Elder Lin, Young Master Lan, son of Revered Bai Bai Bi, disciple of Revered Hei Yan Zhuiyun Haha, the four respected guests visiting my Seven Apricot Mo Clan, what is this rare occasion?

Mo Rushui, I will not waste time with you. Today, my intention is only for the Spirit Augmentation Soul Burning spirit steel.

The young man dressed in a black robe named Yan Zhuiyun had a cold expression that did not care for anyone.

He did not put the four early Harmonious Spirit clan masters of the Wu, Fang, Ye, and Mo Clans into his eyes!
