Chapter 353 Refining the Second Treasure The beheading of the soul of an elder who had suffered three calamities of heavenly transformation was a huge loss even for a sect like the Sanyang Sect. Especially Liu Ruiyuan, as the law enforcement elder of Sanyang Sect, his strength ranks among the top five in Sanyang Sect. The spirit and soul that entered the ancient world this time were completely destroyed, and his strength was likely to drop by 20%. What’s more important is that the elder of their own family was beheaded in public, which was a complete loss of face. They could all imagine how other sects were talking about the Sanyang Sect. “No matter if he is from an ancient divine sect or not, he has repeatedly made things difficult for our Sanyang Sect and attacked our celestial elders several times. He must pay the price!” Baili Jinghong's tone was cold and it was obvious that he had made up his mind. …… Gu Yuanqing had no idea what a sensation his story had caused in the ancient world. The Sanyang Sect is the third-ranked sect in the Linglong Realm, and the Taikoo Divine Sect does not travel outside all year round. It can be said that the Sanyang Sect is only wary of the Huanling Sect, and it is superior to other sects.

But there is nothing we can do about it, since there are so many masters in the sect. The Sanyang Sect has been like this for thousands of years, but today, someone forced their celestial beings who had undergone three calamities of heaven to withdraw from the ancient world. This is simply a big event. Some people cheered, clapped their hands and laughed, saying that your Sanyang Sect would also have this day, while others just took it as a topic of conversation. But no matter who it is, they are all looking forward to how the Sanyang Sect will react next. They all knew that the Sanyang Sect would definitely not give up, so because of this incident, there were many more cultivators at the Wuliang River than before. They all wanted to see for the first time how the battle between the Sanyang Sect and the guest officials of the Huanling Sect would be like. Some people even regretted missing two previous battles between top players, and decided to wait this time. Compared with them, Gu Yuanqing, the person involved, seemed extremely indifferent, as if the affairs of the Sanyang Sect had nothing to do with him. He came to the place where he had been in seclusion last time, restarted the formation, and refined all the Dao Souls he had caught in the past few days. Although they were all Xuan-level Dao Souls and could not make his cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, all of them added together were enough to support him in several years of hard practice. Afterwards, Gu Yuanqing emptied his body and mind for two days to completely resolve the influence of the Tao Soul. In my spare time, I also looked through the two ancient artifacts, the Nine Yang Cauldron and the Floating Dust Seal. These two ancient artifacts are quite extraordinary. Liu Ruiyuan used them to improve his strength to a higher level. The spirit of Liu Ruiyuan who entered the ancient world this time was beheaded. Although his original body was not destroyed, as long as Liu Ruiyuan did not enter the ancient world, these two objects could not sense Liu Ruiyuan's existence. Therefore, the spirituality of the two treasures at this time was obscured, like dead objects. These two items are both compatible with the magical power of fire. Ordinary cultivators may not be able to use them even if they obtain them, but since Gu Yuanqing is proficient in all ways, naturally there is no problem for him to use them. As for the method of sacrifice and refining, Gu Yuanqing did not have it, but he could use a stupid method, which was to completely eliminate the aura of Liu Ruiyuan in the two magic weapons, and then leave his own mark on them. The first thing Gu Yuanqing chose was the Nine Yang Cauldron. As Tang Yi said, this object was just a tortoise shell. Even Gu Yuanqing’s Formless Tribulation Finger could not completely break its defense. If he had not found Liu Ruiyuan's weakness directly from the root of the Great Dao at the end, it would not have been so easy to take him down. At least, if he had not broken the defense of the tripod all at once, even if Liu Ruiyuan could not escape, he would have enough time to escape with all his soul. Gu Yuanqing held the palm-sized Nine Yang Tripod in his palm, and the fire of the heavenly soul ignited. He wrapped the Nine Yang Tripod with the true meaning of the way of fire that he had comprehended, and at the same time enveloped the heavenly realm. Gu Yuanqing's huge divine consciousness, like running water, constantly washed over this ancient artifact, exploring the formation and the control core of the hidden soul imprint. Gu Yuanqing originally thought that it would take a long time to refine the seal, but the actual progress was much faster than expected. Two days later, he washed away the mark left by Liu Ruiyuan on it, and gained initial control of the tripod through trial and error.

It was because the fire method practiced by Liu Ruiyuan had so many flaws in Gu Yuanqing's eyes that in the battle of soul imprints with the Nine Yang Cauldron as the battlefield, Gu Yuanqing only needed to expend his strength to wipe them out one by one. Using the same method, it took another two days to initially refine the Floating Dust Seal. These two seals, one for attack and one for defense, can work together seamlessly. These two seals account for a large part of the credit for Liu Ruiyuan's great reputation in the ancient world. When Gu Yuanqing initially refined the two treasures, Liu Ruiyuan, who was meditating and healing his injuries, immediately sensed something and guessed that his two ancient treasures had been refined by someone. His face looked a little ugly, as these two items were ancient artifacts that he had spent a lot of money to find. They were his trump cards in the ancient world, but today they all fell into the hands of others. Moreover, he just couldn't understand how it was possible that this split soul that entered the ancient world had not escaped even a trace of its soul! Even if Tan Ziping and Chen Baotian could do something, because he had a higher level of cultivation, problems arose. This also led to the fact that he had no idea what was happening in the ancient world. Even though he had experienced it personally, he had to rely on others to tell him everything that happened. As for what happened when he was defeated in the end, no one knows. He was killed this time, but he didn't get to know the enemy's details at all. If he meets him next time, he might encounter the same thing. Thinking of this, Liu Ruiyuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, his state of mind lost control, flames ignited on his body, and the world of heaven and man also began to fluctuate. It took a while to stabilize. As for Chen Baotian, his situation was even worse. Although he only separated out a soul comparable to the celestial level, he was already seriously injured and had not recovered, which was like adding insult to injury. The Sanyang Sect did not rush into action because they had not figured out Gu Yuanqing's background. It would not be overly cautious for a great cultivator who could completely kill a person with three heavenly tribulations and precious treasures. The last time Liu Ruiyuan came to the house, he wanted to ask for an explanation for Chen Baotian's matter, but who would have thought that he would fall into trouble instead. If the Sanyang Sect were to take action again this time and fail again in the end, and lose their lives, it would become a huge joke in the Linglong Realm! By the Wuliang River, in front of a small hill, Gu Yuanqing cast the Floating Dust Seal. I saw it rise to dozens of feet in the wind and then fall heavily to the top of the mountain. Boom! Amid the loud noise, the entire mountaintop shrank by half, and the places where the seal came into direct contact were covered with fine red and black powder, as if it had been completely burned by a raging fire, with only a tiny bit of dust left on everything. "This Floating Dust Seal is indeed quite interesting. Even though no fire appeared when the seal was thrown over, as if it was just a small mountain, in fact, all the power exploded at the moment of contact. The power is concentrated and difficult to resist." He tried the Nine Yang Cauldron again. With the help of his own fire power, the entire magic weapon barrier merged with the realm of heaven and man, and the defense was instantly strengthened by three points. "These two treasures are really good. It seems that I have to choose a good place when I leave the ancient world. It would be a pity if I lose them. Unfortunately, the restriction on this storage bag cannot be broken. Breaking it by force will only cause the dimensional space to explode and shatter. Otherwise, for a great cultivator who has reached the third level of the Heavenly Transformation Tribulation, there must be a lot of good things in it." (End of this chapter)
