I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 325 Fire Cloud Valley Refining Blade

"If the Avici Path Asura Slash is the ultimate sword skill in condensing the Blood Slaughter Aura, then the Nine Prisons Slaughter Life Saber has already touched the origin of Killing Intent, becoming the strongest sword skill.

By invoking the ultimate source of Killing Intent into the body and transforming into a Nine Prisons Shura to slaughter the world, it is indeed a top-notch combat sword skill.

Although Han Zheng had not tried it yet, merely contemplating it in his mind allowed him to roughly estimate the might of this ultimate combat sword skill.

However, powerful as the Nine Prisons Slaughter Life Saber is, its use is predicated on invoking the origin of Killing Intent into the body, immersing one's mental state completely in that extreme Killing Intent and the mindset of slaughtering the world.

Such an action is extremely dangerous; a slight misstep and one could be utterly consumed by the source of Killing Intent, becoming a madman who knows only slaughter.

Yet Han Zheng was still fairly confident in controlling his own mental state.

This cultivation technique was actually more suitable for Lian Sheng to use.

He has the Blood Slaughter Seven Killings Fate, which matches the attributes of the Nine Prisons Slaughter Life Saber almost perfectly.

However, Lian Sheng does not use weapons, so this cultivation technique would be useless to him.

Previously, Han Zheng had casually asked Lian Sheng why he did not use weapons.

In the Great Compassion Temple's cultivation techniques, there were actually quite a few that required compatibility with weapons.

Such as the Zen Staff, Precepts Blade, Stick Technique, and so on.

Lian Sheng's response was that weapons exist because of Killing Intent.

He uses Killing to stop Killing in order to save others. If he used weapons of slaughter, that would be purely killing people, which does not align with his original intention, so he does not use them.

After breaking through the Nine Prisons Slaughter Life Saber, Han Zheng still had one hundred and seventeen thousand Hunger Level points remaining.

These Hunger Level points were not something Han Zheng was in a hurry to use; he planned to accumulate more before officially beginning the practice of the Heavenly Demon Pill Method and condensing the Heavenly Demon True Pill.

Once he succeeded in condensing the Heavenly Demon True Pill, his combat power would soar dramatically.

By then, compared to others in the Dan Sea Realm of his level, even though he would not have opened up a Dan Sea and would have less storage of True Yuan, his explosive power would far exceed that of an ordinary presence in the Dan Sea Realm.

The two thresholds of practicing the Heavenly Demon Pill Method are extremely difficult.

However, once successful, its power is also immensely strong.

Han Zheng also spent the remaining time cultivating, stabilizing his mental state.

The day after tomorrow the Weapon Casting Conference would begin, and Han Zheng needed to keep himself at his peak.

After the battle with Sima Chengzong, Autumn Water Shocking Swallow, the Mystical Weapon that had accompanied Han Zheng for a long time, was now severely damaged, covered in scars.

Therefore, Han Zheng was determined to claim the lead prize at the Weapon Casting Conference.

Even if no Heavenly Soldier was forged during this conference, even just an Earth Soldier would be good.

Early the next day, Han Zheng and Su Wuming both emerged from their secluded meditation chambers.

Wan Zhongshan was already waiting for them in the front hall; upon seeing them come out, he said, "Fire Cloud Valley has opened, and all the major powers and other Independent Practitioners have headed there. Let's set off as well."

Han Zheng nodded and followed Wan Zhongshan to Fire Cloud Valley.

For this trip, they did not bring too many people; aside from Fang Jueming, there were only three relatively young Xuanjia Guards accompanying them to the event, for the experience.

The Weapon Casting Conference was a competition of strength among the younger generation, so in addition to sending an elder Martial Artist to lead, the major powers primarily brought young people to gain experience; they did not turn out in full force, making such a grand display.

Moreover, they were headed to the Refining Blade of Fire Cloud Valley, one of the Five Families and Seven Sects, where order and safety were assured by Refining Blade itself; there was no need for them to worry.

Although the Refining Blade was a power composed of Weapon Casting Masters, it did not mean the other side had no martial force at all.

At this moment, as the Weapon Casting Conference began, the large crowd of Martial Artists in Qianjiang Prefecture instantly dispersed, leaving the streets noticeably emptier.

That was when Han Zheng suddenly saw Lian Sheng also preparing to leave the city.

"Master Lian Sheng, why are you here alone? Where are the elders from the Great Compassion Temple?"

Han Zheng approached Lian Sheng to greet him, asking curiously.

For an event as grand as the Weapon Casting Conference, surely the major sects would not let their young disciples come alone. They would definitely assign a seasoned and prudent elder to lead.

Lian Sheng had been traveling through the Martial World on his own recently, but how come when the Weapon Casting Conference was convened, no one from the Great Compassion Temple came?

Lian Sheng smiled and said, "This monk is merely watching the excitement and will not step onto the platform to participate in the Weapon Casting Conference, so the elders from my sect will not come.

Moreover, in their eyes, this monk is stained with blood, and who knows when I might lose control of the Killing Intent in my heart and become a demonic being.

They have long thought that this monk should have been pre-emptively killed to prevent future calamities and shame for the Great Compassion Temple."

Han Zheng had not expected that Lian Sheng, the strongest disciple of the younger generation in the Great Compassion Temple, would receive such treatment within the sect.

But after thinking about it, it made sense.

Lian Sheng had a special talent, embodying the Blood Slaughter Seven Killings Fate yet joining the Buddhist sect. Even Yan Xuankong couldn't imagine it, thinking that Master Pu Du had lost his mind.

If Yan Xuankong thought that way, not to mention the elders and heads of the Great Compassion Temple.

Especially since the temple suffered heavy losses sixty years ago due to a traitor colluding with the Black Mountain Demon.

In their eyes, Lian Sheng's temperament might lead to actions even more despicable than that of the traitor, and taking pre-emptive action to kill him was the right thing to do.

If it wasn't for Master Pu Du's protection, Lian Sheng might have been killed long ago.

However, none of this was related to Han Zheng.

Lian Sheng's approach of using killing to stop killing suited Han Zheng well. Moreover, in Qianjiang Prefecture, Lian Sheng had twice intervened to help him.

Regardless of whether Lian Sheng was a disciple of the Great Compassion Temple or a demonic outsider, it didn't stop Han Zheng from considering him a good friend.

"Since the elders of the Great Compassion Temple are not here, would Master Lian Sheng be willing to join us in attending the Weapon Casting Conference?"

Han Zheng directly invited, while looking toward Wan Zhongshan: "Elder Wan, it won't be problematic to have Master Lian Sheng join us, right?"

Wan Zhongshan said, "Of course there's no problem, the Demon Cleansing Bureau doesn't have so many troublesome rules."

Actually, Wan Zhongshan also held a positive view of Lian Sheng.

He was not like other monks, who were always nagging and complaining, and he even helped the Demon Cleansing Bureau suppress the Martial World troublemakers in Qianjiang Prefecture.

During the battle the other day, Lian Sheng also assisted Han Zheng in fighting against Sima Chengzong, effectively saving Han Zheng's life at a critical moment. Wan Zhongshan was very grateful to Lian Sheng.

Lian Sheng smiled, pressing his palms together and said, "Amitabha, then this humble monk shall respectfully comply."

Previously, Lian Sheng's smile always seemed a bit formulaic as if he was forcefully trying to present himself with a harmless demeanor.

It was not until then that his smile seemed genuinely sincere.

Refining Blade was situated in Fire Cloud Valley, just thirty miles away from Qianjiang Prefecture, which did not count as too far.

When nearing Fire Cloud Valley, about ten miles away, Han Zheng felt a wave of heat rushing toward him, with the ground completely barren of vegetation.

Fire Cloud Valley was a naturally-formed convergence point for the fire vein.

Refining Blade's founder chose this location primarily for the underground fire vein.

Subsequent Sect Masters of Refining Blade continued to strengthen and guide the underground fire vein with arrays, finally transforming it into a mighty natural Weapon Casting Furnace: the Heavenly Fire Melting Sun Furnace.

All Weapon Casting Masters within Refining Blade forged their Weapons by drawing upon a branch of the fire from the Heavenly Fire Melting Sun Furnace.

As for why they didn't use the main body of the Heavenly Fire Melting Sun Furnace for forging, it was because the fire within was too intense; even materials for Heavenly Soldiers thrown into it would instantly vaporize.

Throughout history, Refining Blade's Heavenly Fire Melting Sun Furnace, since its establishment, had only ever forged a single Weapon.

That was Refining Blade's Sect Guardian Divine Weapon: Thousand Mechanism Transformation!

When Han Zheng and his companions arrived at the entrance of Fire Cloud Valley, the place exuded a cooling sensation.

All over Fire Cloud Valley were arrays designed to lower temperature, otherwise, the spreading heat would make the place uninhabitable.

The archway at the entrance of Fire Cloud Valley was not made of wood but was forged from various discarded weapons, and three large characters were assembled out of broken swords: Refining Blade.

Before they even approached, an intense aura of keen Weapons Sharpness rushed toward their faces.

At this time, a tall, sturdy old man stood at the entrance to welcome the guests.

This person was the current Sect Master of Refining Blade, the only Great Grandmaster of Weapon Casting in Refining Blade, Cen Xingzi.
