Li Yuanba still didn’t know he was being targeted by five super forces; he was currently at the Ten Thousand Beast Sect for an official visit.

This time, he was here for the matter of the Xingyi Sword.

As he advanced to Peak Great Cultivator, he always felt that the power of the Xingyi Sword was insufficient to fully demonstrate his overall strength.

Of course, if other Sword Cultivators heard such words, they would likely be enraged to the point of coughing blood.

When had Spiritual Treasures ever been unable to satisfy the Sword Cultivators at the pinnacle of their cultivation? After all, Spiritual Treasures are magic artifacts only qualified for use by Great Powers.

It couldn’t really be blamed on Li Yuanba; in fact, the potential of the Xingyi Sword was truly immense, and his cultivation indeed couldn’t fully unleash its potential.

But the problem was, originally due to Li Shiming’s limited artifact refining ability, he could only choose one primary direction to strengthen the Spiritual Treasure.

The Xingyi Sword chose four hundred million speed runes and fifty million years sturdy runes.

The four hundred million speed runes were intended to enhance the speed of the Xingyi Sword. Upon successful refinement, the Xingyi Sword manifested a ’Speed Rule Imprint’.

Yet, the fifty million sturdy runes only enhanced the sturdiness of the Xingyi Sword, and because the number of sturdy runes was too few, even the corresponding rule imprint failed to form.

Compared to Li Shiming’s other spiritual treasures, the Xingyi Sword was considered an early work, which fell far short in refinement techniques and the number of engraved rune incantations compared to other spiritual treasures.

The Xingyi Sword was Li Yuanba’s Lifebound Flying Sword; as a Sword Cultivator’s Lifebound Flying Sword, its prowess was closely linked to the Sword Cultivator’s strength.

Li Yuanba arrived at the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and after meeting Li Shiming once, he was arranged in a guest cave residence of the sect.

His Lifebound Flying Sword was taken by Li Shiming; without the Lifebound Flying Sword, a Sword Cultivator should not venture outside.

Li Shiming obtained the Xingyi Sword, and he was no longer the same as back then, possessing many top-grade fourth-grade refining materials.

Acquiring them by slaying Great Cultivators from super forces and through adventures in the Cloud Island Sea.

This time, he used a material called ’Rainbow Illusion Gold’ for the upgrade of the Xingyi Sword, a top-grade fourth-grade refining material produced by the Divine Palace in the Cloud Island Sea—a gold element refining material never seen in the Cultivation World here.

The characteristics of ’Rainbow Illusion Gold’ are dazzling and blinding; when spiritual power is activated, it bursts with rainbow light and can emit an extremely intense blinding light as needed.

Moreover, the appearance of ’Rainbow Illusion Gold’ is immensely alluring; the rainbow flying sword is highly attractive to cultivators, and this rainbow light can partially conceal other auras within the metal.

The process of refining the Xingyi Sword was not complicated; using ’Rainbow Illusion Gold’ to upgrade it was akin to clearing the original engraved runes on it and re-engraving new ones.

In the machine room space, there was a precision of 0.05 nanometers, allowing him to engrave as many rune incantations as possible within the maximum limit that ’Rainbow Illusion Gold’ could withstand.

What he needed to pay attention to was how the engraved runes matched Li Yuanba’s strength.

He almost mobilized every brain he could, ending the refining of the Xingyi Sword within twenty days.

Li Shiming brought the Xingyi Sword and found Li Yuanba in the guest cave residence. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

He did this deliberately to make all cultivators believe that he and Li Yuanba were friends.

It must be known that he wouldn’t even meet with representatives of some super forces, merely letting the Ten Thousand Beast Sect host them, yet he had met Li Yuanba twice in a short period, and the last meeting was initiated voluntarily.

Although revealing that Li Yuanba is Li Shiming’s clone couldn’t be done, the two of them would have much contact in the future, so it’s always necessary to provide a relatively reasonable excuse.

"Fellow, your flying sword!" As soon as Li Shiming entered the cave residence, he casually tossed the Xingyi Sword to Li Yuanba and said.

Upon leaving his control, the Xingyi Sword was immediately taken over by Li Yuanba.

The Xingyi Sword danced beside Li Yuanba as he quickly familiarized himself with the changes in the sword.

"Ten billion speed runes, ten billion sharpness runes, four billion sturdy runes!" Li Yuanba exclaimed.

The rainbow light flickered on the Xingyi Sword, concealing its spiritual treasure quality, allowing him to use the sword without specifically hiding its quality.

Of course, when attacking a target, it’s still necessary to directly annihilate them.

Because the targeted cultivator, as long as their cultivation level is sufficient, they can still perceive the quality of the Xingyi Sword when facing it.

Now the Xingyi Sword can be said to be the pinnacle of Li Shiming’s artifact refinement.

Engraving twenty-four billion rune incantations on a small flying sword, besides having the strength of ’Rainbow Illusion Gold’, it was due to his engraving capability at 0.05 precision.

There are many cultivators in the Cultivation World capable of refining spiritual treasures, but only Li Shiming has crafted spiritual treasures using fourth-grade refining materials.

Normally, spiritual treasures require fifth-grade refining materials for crafting; Li Shiming used his unique refining method to forcibly raise an originally fourth-grade magic artifact to a fifth-grade spiritual treasure.

"The Golden Winged Dapeng will accompany you!" Li Shiming waved and said.

He wouldn’t leave the Ten Thousand Beast Sect for a while, and Li Yuanba needed massive battles to solidify his position and accumulate combat insights for advancing to Half-step Great Power; having the Golden Winged Dapeng would greatly reduce travel time.
