Chapter 570: Chapter 569: Five Spirits Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword Array

As he thought this, Gu Yuan extended his divine thought, searching for Jinsha Laozu.

However, after searching everywhere, he did not find Jinsha Laozu. Instead, he noticed the Yinshen leader guarding the place.

"Could it be that Jinsha Laozu has already left Qianyan Island?"

A speculation arose in Gu Yuan’s mind, and he felt he was likely correct.

With the previous gift he had given, he believed Jinsha Laozu would certainly seize the opportunity to restore part of his cultivation and escape from this place.

After all, since he’s a Yang Spirit practitioner, he must have many powerful techniques.

Next, Gu Yuan had no intention of provoking the Yinshen leader. He leaped up with escape light and left Qianyan Island, heading straight for his body’s location.

For Gu Yuan, neither Jinsha Laozu nor Elder Chaotic Heaven, nor even the Seven Xuan Gourd were the most important.

The most important was his Five Elements Sword Dao Array!

Now, Gu Yuan had obtained a large enough piece of Five Elements Immortal Iron, so next, he should first refine it into five-mouthed Five Elements Flying Swords, thus serving as the foundation of the grand array, which could be set up at any time and start subtly changing his own foundation.

In doing so, not only would Gu Yuan’s attack power increase tenfold, but even his cultivation foundation would be transformed, turning from a Water Element foundation to a Five Elements foundation, and his potential would become broader.

This relates to his future in transcending immortality, and he cannot afford any negligence.

...

Soon after, Gu Yuan returned to his body’s location, then handed over the items to his body, himself transforming into a wisp of white smoke, being absorbed back into the body.

Gu Yuan opened the storage pouch and released the Five Elements Immortal Iron.

The enormous pile of Five Elements Immortal Iron was placed on the ground, even causing the floor with array restrictions set up to sink under its weight, forming a pit due to the sheer heaviness of the immortal iron.

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Yuan decisively took out the Jiujiao Furnace, intending to use this magical treasure to assist in refining.

As is well known, spiritual objects of the Nine Great Divine Gold Level are not only extremely valuable but also exceptionally hard, tough, and difficult to refine.

Although his Dao Foundation has begun to change, and he has started performing some simple fire attribute divine techniques, even releasing some true flames, refining the Five Elements Immortal Iron, one of the Nine Great Divine Golds, is still very challenging and unlikely.

Luckily, he has the Jiujiao Furnace, which, when activated, can save him much effort, and the true flame contained within, after Gu Yuan’s repeated nurturing and melting, has greatly enhanced its power.

Once Gu Yuan fully activates it, he can absolutely melt and refine the Five Elements Immortal Iron into flying swords.

Gu Yuan already has a draft in mind for how to refine the flying swords.

Next, Gu Yuan began activating the Jiujiao Furnace, placing the Five Elements Immortal Iron into it, then activating the true flame within to envelop it and begin melting it gently.

Time slowly passed by bit by bit...

Gu Yuan did not rush, proceeding systematically.

After about three days, the entire block of Five Elements Immortal Iron finally melted open. Gu Yuan formed seals with his hands, removing all impurities, leaving only the essence.

He then repeated the extraction process two more times, until all impurities had been completely removed from the five-colored molten iron, leaving only the essence.

This essence was now melted into a five-colored molten iron mass the size of a football.

The Five Elements Immortal Iron leftover could be used to refine seven or eight flying swords and still have surplus.

After a moment’s contemplation, Gu Yuan divided it into two parts.

One part, roughly two-tenths, was consolidated to one side.

The other eight-tenths were split by Gu Yuan into five parts using dharma seal formations with his hands, and then he swiftly began the refining process with a series of spell formulas.

Under Gu Yuan’s painstaking refinement, the five parts of Five Elements Immortal Iron began elongating, deforming, and soon turned into long sword shapes.

Then, under Gu Yuan’s "meticulous craftsmanship," they started becoming more exquisite and sharp.

The process of refining flying swords from this point belonged to detailed work that required slow progress.

Gu Yuan was not hurried, adhering to his pace and proceeding systematically.

Five months passed by quickly...

Clattering clattering clattering—!!! Clattering clattering clattering—!!!

One day, from within the Jiujiao Furnace, sharp and clear, dragon-roaring, tiger-roaring-like sword sounds suddenly echoed.

Then, as the furnace lid opened,

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

Streams of five-colored light swirled, emitting sharp Flying Swords that shot out from within.

These flying swords were full of spiritual nature; after emerging, they buzzed like flying birds, swimming fish, revolving around Gu Yuan, radiating colorful and sharp energy.

Then, under Gu Yuan’s control, they assembled before him.

The flying swords numbered five, each one colored in five hues, emitting soft and gentle light, yet exuding fluctuating sharp sword intent.

The five flying swords quickly formed into a Five Elements Array, intertwining, transforming, evolving, perfectly complying with the principle of cycle and rebirth of the Five Elements.

An extremely terrifying, sharp, dangerous energy surged out, making one’s heart pound!

Though it was five flying swords, in essence, it signified the initial completion of Gu Yuan’s Five Elements Sword Dao.

These five flying swords were the result of Gu Yuan’s painstaking efforts in refinement.

With a thought of Gu Yuan, the five flying swords turned into streams of light, merging into his body, protecting his dantian within.

The five sword lights within his dantian were interconnected, sometimes divided, sometimes united, seamlessly harmonized and natural.

Even Gu Yuan’s lifebound magical treasure, the Taiyi Golden Bell, and Creation Cyan Lotus couldn’t suppress it, only subtly contending with it.

"I might as well call these five swords the Five Spirits Demon-slaying Sword. It is said that everything other than the self is an external demon; any enemy is an external demon. I will use these Five Spirits Demon-slaying Swords to carve my path and eliminate all obstacles."

Gu Yuan stroked his chin, naming the five flying swords. He then thought of the lack of a name for the sword array formed by the five flying swords and muttered, "As for the sword array... Let’s call it the Five Spirits Xuantian Demon-slaying Sword Array... simple and straightforward."

These five flying swords, while not magical treasures, are merely top-tier magical artifacts, but because of their high nature and mutual integration into a grand array, their power is by no means weak!

After speaking, Gu Yuan decisively took out his lifebound flying sword, Primordial Jade Scenery Sword, placing it into the Jiujiao Furnace and integrating the remaining two-tenths of Five Elements Immortal Iron into the sword to enhance its quality.

Half a month later, with a loud and clear sword sound echoing out,

A sword whose size remained unchanged, but became sharper, more cohesive, and with a faint layer of five-colored brilliance on the surface, flew out from the Jiujiao Furnace, which Gu Yuan then grasped in his hand.
