Chapter 1316 Endless Tempering
After instructing Tian Cang to pay close attention to the changes in the World-Destroying Black Lotus, Zhang Qian waved his hand and asked him to leave. The cultivators of Taiyi Divine Sect would arrange a palace for him to live in.

As the ancestor of demons, it was no big deal for Tiancang to change his appearance. He transformed himself into an immortal with a celestial appearance and was politely arranged into a palace by a Taiyi Golden Immortal from the Taiyi Divine Sect.

After all, Tian Cang was a True Immortal of the Primordial Universe. Even if he had transformed into a Great Immortal with a celestial bearing, his pressure was still looming, which frightened the Taiyi Golden Immortal next to him. He secretly wondered where his clan leader had invited such a powerful being from? And it seemed that this powerful being was very respectful to Zhang Qian.

After Tiancang left, Zhang Qian collected his thoughts and took out the Dongyuan Sword Gourd.

As soon as the golden sword gourd appeared, the innate spiritual root embryo in the Mountains, Rivers, and State Map began to vibrate violently. This reaction was within Zhang Qian's expectations. This gourd was the fruit of the innate spiritual root of the Pan Sect, and the embryo in the Mountains, Rivers, and State Map was the innate spiritual root tree root of the Immortal Divine Mountain, combined with the acquired spiritual root sword gourd.

They were originally one, and now that they were in close contact, a violent reaction immediately occurred.

Zhang Qian didn't care about the movement of the embryo. If he wanted to cultivate this embryo into a congenital spiritual root again, it would not be much easier than creating the twelve congenital gods and demons, and might even be more difficult.

If this embryo wants to grow, it must devour and fuse the fragments, branches and roots of the original innate spiritual root. However, these things are in the hands of the great saints in the heavens and all realms, or they are the treasures of the eternal great forces. How could Zhang Qian get them easily?

This time, Luo Qinghong did not summon the Dongyuan Sword Gourd back like she did last time. The reason she succeeded last time was because her sword heart was in the sword gourd, and she could summon the sword gourd back with a thought. But this time it was different. The sword heart in it had already flown back to the world of swordsmanship along with the mysterious clear light.

At this moment, the sword gourd is no different from an ownerless object.

Holding the sword gourd, Zhang Qian was thinking about how to refine it. This treasure gourd was not simple. It was the fruit of the innate spiritual root. Although it was not a mature fruit, its mystery was also extremely incredible.

Dangdang...!
He stretched out his hand and knocked on the sword gourd, which made a clanging sound. Its defensive power was even stronger than that of the Xuanhuang Pagoda.

"What a good baby!"

After playing with it for a while as if he couldn't let it go, Zhang Qian's spiritual consciousness rushed into the sword gourd. His spiritual consciousness roamed inside the sword gourd. Although the gourd was not big, it was a world of its own inside, containing a huge independent time and space, completely isolated from the outside world.

He even suspected that if the gourd was mature, a vast world might be created inside.

Unfortunately, the world in the gourd is bare, with nothing in it. It is extremely desolate and pitch black.

Zhang Qian’s spiritual sense swept around, and after understanding the sword gourd thoroughly, all his spiritual sense sank into the center of the bottom of the gourd, which was the hub of the sword gourd.

Luo Qinghong's sword spirit also originated from here. It is obvious that her sword heart was placed here.

When his spiritual consciousness sank into it, he immediately saw that this was a place that was like the source of the laws of the universe.

This place is in chaos, but it is filled with an incomparably magical tempering mystery. This tempering is very magical. Zhang Qian sensed it and found that this power is similar to the Qiankun Ding's power of returning to its original state, but it is even more powerful.

"Can you refine all things and spirits without limits?"

Zhang Qian's heart was shocked, and he understood the true magic of this treasure. The tempering power contained here can temper anything infinitely, even the invisible sword heart.

This is why Luo Qinghong cultivated to the realm of unique avenue in just over ten years. Her sword heart was integrated into this place, and the Dongyuan Sword Gourd was tempering all the time, and this kind of tempering was extremely improved and never-ending.

Zhang Qian even wondered, if a piece of ordinary iron was put in it, would it be tempered into a piece of fairy gold ore, or even a bit of innate divine gold over time?
"This thing is too terrifying. It's because those Saintly Powerful Ones in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds don't understand the true power of this treasure. Otherwise, wouldn't it cause a catastrophe?"

Zhang Qian sucked in a breath of cold air, his thoughts wandering, he even wondered, if his real body entered it, this endless tempering power would be able to temper his body and allow it to grow and strengthen endlessly?
"What if it is an acquired spiritual treasure or an acquired supreme treasure? Can it be refined into an innate spiritual treasure or even an innate supreme treasure?"

His heart was pounding, and then he realized that this should be impossible. After all, the gourd was not mature. When Pan Jiao's innate spiritual root was blown into pieces, the gourd was still far from being fully mature.

The more he thought about it, the more regrettable he felt. If this gourd was mature, it might really be possible to refine the acquired spiritual treasure into an innate spiritual treasure!

Swish!
He couldn't help but flash, and a sword light flashed into the gourd, and then entered the mysterious space at the bottom of the gourd.

As soon as Zhang Qian entered, he felt the omnipresent power of tempering, but what made him depressed was that this power of tempering did not have much effect on his body. Although it did help a little, it was not as strong as when he absorbed spiritual energy in the outside world for cultivation.

He understood that it was not because the Dongyuan Sword Gourd could not temper his body, but because the treasure was not mature and the mysteries of the tempering within it were far from fully developed. If the gourd was completely mature, then his body would be tempered terribly here, allowing him to quickly refine into the fourth level of the Heavenly Dao Jade Body and achieve the state of being invincible!
"What a shame, what a pity!"

Zhang Qian looked heartbroken, but then he thought, if this gourd was a fully mature treasure, how could it fall into his hands so easily? Wan Wuyi would definitely not give it up.

An immature sword gourd has immature tempering power, and can only temper invisible and intangible things, such as sword heart, Tao heart, sword intention, Tao intention, and so on.

Swish!
He flew out of the sword gourd and had a thorough understanding of this treasure. The real name of this treasure might not be the Dongyuan Sword Gourd. This name was given by the Sword Ancestor. Luo Qinghong tempered his sword heart in it, so this gourd is the sword gourd. If this treasure had fallen into the hands of another powerful person, what was tempered might not be the sword heart, but the Tao heart, and this treasure would not be called the Dongyuan Sword Gourd.

Zhang Qian had no intention of changing the name. The name of Dongyuan Sword Gourd was very good. After understanding all the mysteries of this treasure, Zhang Qian immediately began to concentrate his sword heart.

As soon as he thought about it, the four supreme original killing sword intents of killing, trapping and destruction condensed into a wisp and finally turned into a ball, and a part of his mind also entered into it and completely merged with it.

As a sword cultivator who has reached a unique level, concentrating his sword heart is a matter of thought and is not difficult at all.

The sword heart containing Zhang Qian's sword art whooshed into the Dongyuan Sword Gourd, and then entered the mysterious space at the bottom of the gourd.

hum!
The moment he entered that space, billions of extremely thin threads extended from Zhang Qian's sword heart.

Countless silk threads spread out in all directions, extending along every line inside the sword gourd with incredible accuracy.

This gourd is the fruit of the innate spiritual root. There are countless channels with patterns inside that receive the nutrients infused by the innate spiritual root. These channels are the key to refining.

After a short while, billions of sword threads filled every channel. Only then was this treasure completely refined by Zhang Qian.

It sounds extremely simple, not even difficult at all.
