Chapter 298: Congratulations, Congratulations

In the starry sky, Li Xiaojun gazed ahead.

Beside him, the Human Race Woman Ji Wuling also looked into the vastness of the cosmos.

In the depths of the starry sky, countless lightning bolts flickered.

This was Mo Qianqiu’s lightning tribulation.

At this moment, the lightning tribulation had accumulated to a considerable extent.

According to this situation, it would not be long before the tribulation officially began.

A few days later.

The lightning tribulation officially commenced.

Upon sensing the start of the tribulation, Li Xiaojun withdrew his gaze.

Once the Golden Immortal lightning tribulation began, no living beings could interrupt Mo Qianqiu undergoing tribulation.

If any living being tried to interrupt Mo Qianqiu’s tribulation, the lightning it would have to endure would ensure its certain demise.

Even a Golden Immortal could not stop others from undergoing tribulation.

After Mo Qianqiu began undergoing tribulation, Li Xiaojun shifted his focus onto himself.

He decided to use the time while Mo Qianqiu was undergoing tribulation to craft a sixth-grade immortal tool.

With a wave of his hand, countless sixth-tier crafting materials, as large as high-rise buildings, materialized in the starry sky.

Li Xiaojun brought forth over five thousand pieces of sixth-tier crafting materials mined from the black star.

Once these materials appeared, Li Xiaojun began to apply pressure on all of them.

Under Li Xiaojun’s pressure, soon, countless materials exhibited a diffusion effect, ultimately resulting in cold welding among all the materials.

At the same time, Li Xiaojun also crafted a metal anvil and a metal hammer using sixth-tier materials, then started to hammer the materials together, making their quality merge more tightly.

As soon as Li Xiaojun began crafting, Ji Wuling kept her distance.

However, when she saw Li Xiaojun pull out so many sixth-tier materials for crafting, she was almost left speechless.

So many sixth-tier materials! If she could get just a little bit of that, she would be set for life.

And now, the other party was using these sixth-tier materials for crafting.

This indicated that he was not only a Golden Immortal but also a sixth-grade Immortal Master in crafting.

One year later.

After Li Xiaojun’s constant hammering, finally, a massive flying sword-shaped weapon, dozens of kilometers long, appeared in the starry sky.

This weapon was, of course, the flying sword forged by Li Xiaojun.

The flying sword used in the cultivation world was not the ordinary long sword with a handle that mortals used.

In the cultivation world, flying swords were not held by hand, so they were typically sword-shaped like flying shuttles, more suitable for aerodynamics.

A flying sword that is dozens of kilometers long was merely the sword embryo that Li Xiaojun had crafted.

Next, he still needed to carve various formations on the sword embryo, ultimately allowing the flying sword to change size at will.

When Li Xiaojun was able to shrink this flying sword’s sword embryo to the size of an ordinary sword, only then would the crafting be considered successful.

…

Next, Li Xiaojun began to carve various formations on the sword embryo.

Among them were:

A formation that would make the flying sword more resilient.

A space-type formation that could reduce the size of the flying sword.

A formation that would make the flying sword sharper.

Other formations that would add various damages to the flying sword, and so on.

Carving formations on a sword embryo that was dozens of kilometers long, especially on sixth-tier materials, was extremely difficult.

Fortunately, Li Xiaojun could use a space crack as a tool and gradually carve out the formation patterns.

Only someone like Li Xiaojun could do this; for others, just carving formations on the sword embryo would be remarkably challenging.

Thus, to craft a sixth-grade immortal tool, one needed to have at least the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal.

Moreover, an ordinary Golden Immortal would find it nearly impossible to carve formations on such a large sword embryo without thousands or even tens of thousands of years of effort.

However, Li Xiaojun was different; he mastered the rule of space, making it very easy for him to carve formations on the sixth-grade immortal tool’s sword embryo.

Even so, this was still a significant project for him.

When Mo Qianqiu appeared before him after undergoing the Golden Immortal tribulation, he had barely carved less than one-tenth of the formation patterns.

"Younger generation Mo Qianqiu thanks Elder…" Mo Qianqiu gratefully thanked Li Xiaojun.

If it weren’t for Li Xiaojun’s protection during his tribulation, he might have been killed by a group of monsters long ago.

"Younger generation Ji Wuling pays respects to Elder Mo." Ji Wuling said, holding back her excitement upon seeing Mo Qianqiu.

"You have successfully passed through the tribulation. Congratulations!"

Li Xiaojun congratulated Mo Qianqiu and continued, "You have achieved the status of Golden Immortal, so if there’s nothing else, you may leave."

Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Mo Qianqiu’s mouth twitched; he did not expect that as soon as they met, Li Xiaojun would want to send him away.

In response to Ji Wuling’s respectful greeting, he simply nodded in acknowledgment.

His attention remained mostly on Li Xiaojun.

After a moment of thought, he said to Li Xiaojun, "Elder, you are crafting a sixth-grade immortal tool, right? I wonder if there is any way I could assist you."

Upon hearing Mo Qianqiu’s words, Li Xiaojun thought for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "It seems there’s nothing here you can help with."

Mo Qianqiu, feeling unsatisfied with Li Xiaojun’s response, said, "Elder, you underestimate me. I am now a Golden Immortal, and I am quite proficient in formations. Perhaps I can help you carve the formation patterns."

"Help me carve the formation patterns?"

Li Xiaojun smiled and said to Mo Qianqiu, "I have the patterns drawn out; you can give it a try first."

Upon hearing this, Mo Qianqiu didn’t hesitate. He took out his immortal sword, went to the place where Li Xiaojun was carving patterns, and then…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a series of collisions, Mo Qianqiu held his flying sword and awkwardly looked at Li Xiaojun.

At the same time, he gained a new understanding of Li Xiaojun’s strength.

This Elder seemed capable of effortlessly carving various formation patterns, which led him to believe that after breaking through to Golden Immortal, he could do the same.

However, after his attempt, he realized that there was indeed a significant gap in strength between Golden Immortals.

"Alright, I knew you wouldn’t be able to help; go on with your own work," Li Xiaojun waved to Mo Qianqiu.

After saying that, he turned his attention to Ji Wuling, "You should leave too."

"Elder, I still want to see how you refine the immortal tool," Ji Wuling quickly said to Li Xiaojun.

Hearing this, Li Xiaojun nodded, "If you want to watch, then watch."

After saying that, Li Xiaojun ignored both of them and continued carving formation patterns.

The formation patterns he carved were not on the surface of the sword embryo; instead, he treated the entire sword embryo as a three-dimensional house, arranging various wiring and piping inside.

Thus, carving formation patterns was a meticulous task for Li Xiaojun.

For the next decade, Li Xiaojun remained focused on carving formation patterns.

However, while Li Xiaojun was carving, the number of onlookers shifted from just Mo Qianqiu and Ji Wuling at the start to several, then a dozen, and finally to dozens of people.

These individuals were naturally members of the Elders’ Council of the Human Race who came to pay their respects after hearing that Mo Qianqiu had successfully passed through his tribulation.

Once they arrived, they were all captivated by the crafting process of Li Xiaojun.
