To refine the items he had in mind, Xu Chuan went directly into the void.
Finding a hidden spot, he set up formations around himself to ensure his safety.
Although with his current strength, no one in the entire Xuantian could threaten him.
Still, necessary precautions were indispensable.
After all, he had slain multiple Demon Emperors and even a Demon Prince.
The opposing side might very well send stronger individuals for revenge.
Caution in all matters allowed one to live longer.
Xu Chuan had never thought that now that his strength was great, he could do whatever he pleased.
He clearly understood his position; within the Chaos, there were beings even stronger than him.
Not to mention the distant past, Yuan Hai who had defeated the True Martial Great Emperor in the Void Immortal Realm, he was no match for him.
Now, countless years had passed since the scene he witnessed in the illusion.
He wondered how powerful Yuan Hai had become.
It was very possible that he had broken through to the High-level Emperor Venerable realm.
After all, he possessed extraordinary talent and the potential of a High-level Emperor Venerable!
"There's no time to delay, let's start now!"
Shaking his head, he cast aside all other thoughts from his mind.
Time was short and the task was heavy; he couldn't afford to delay his own major life event.
With that said, Xu Chuan directly summoned the Myriad Spirits Cauldron and the Chaos True Fire.
These two items were his foundation for refining Emperor Weapons!
"What should I refine?"
Since these were for his wife, they naturally couldn't be shoddy; they had to be the best of the best.
But they also had to conform to their respective habits and attributes.
This point alone would stump many artifact refiners.
However, Xu Chuan didn't care.
The Phoenix Crown and Robes were a must for a wedding.
As for other items, Xu Chuan planned to refine an Emperor Weapon for each of the two women.
At least they had to be peak first-tier Emperor Weapons.
It would be even better if they could reach the second tier.
"Got it!"
After pondering for a long time, Xu Chuan finally had an idea.
The frown on his brow immediately eased.
Su Miaoyin was skilled in swordplay, so he planned to forge her a long sword.
However, it wouldn't be a simple long sword.
When not in combat, it could also be used as a hairpin, serving as an ornament!
Killing two birds with one stone, how wonderful!
Xu Chuan praised his own idea.
As for Ning Youci, Xu Chuan planned to refine a longbow for her.
The first time Xu Chuan saw her, she was using a longbow.
It was also on that occasion that Ning Youci saved him when he was severely injured.
Their fated connection was thus forged.
Since then, Xu Chuan had rarely seen her use a bow.
It was simply because such weapons were somewhat niche.
And her cultivation had improved very quickly.
It became even harder to find bows that matched her cultivation level.
Out of necessity, she had to choose long swords that resonated with her attributes as her everyday weapon.
Today, Xu Chuan intended to use his Sun-Shooting Divine Bow to forge a weapon suitable for her!
The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow was already slightly redundant for Xu Chuan now.
In the future, when he reached the Chaos, it would be even more incompatible with his cultivation.
Refining it now was perfect for gifting to Ning Youci!
Without further ado, Xu Chuan took out various top-tier materials again.
These materials were all scavenged from those he had killed.
Anything he considered unimportant he had given away to others.
Only what he considered important did he keep.
Therefore, these materials were the absolute best of the best.
After taking out these materials, Xu Chuan also summoned the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, and a crimson giant egg from his inner world.
The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow needed no further introduction.
But this giant egg was something to talk about.
He had obtained this giant egg in the Undying Volcano; it was a Golden Crow's egg.
He had initially thought that with its powerful life force, he could hatch it, and it would grow to become the guardian beast of the Taiyi Holy Land.
However, so much time had passed.
After absorbing a large amount of vital energy, there had been no movement at all.
Nor was there any sign of hatching.
Xu Chuan had also given up.
It was just right to use it as a refining material, a form of waste utilization.
Next, Xu Chuan began to refine the weapon according to his plan.
In terms of design, Xu Chuan referenced ancient Chinese styles from his previous life and combined them with the characteristics of the Xuantian Realm.
He perfectly fused the two together.
Just a glance at it would make one mesmerized.
It would evoke sighs, wondering how such beautiful weapons could exist in the world.
With the design in place, the refining process was naturally no obstacle for Xu Chuan.
Among the many inheritances he had received in the past, there was one related to artifact refining.
While not particularly profound, refining Emperor Weapons below the third tier was very easy.
The only limitation he had was the materials.
Boom!
In the Myriad Spirits Cauldron, various materials melted into independent pools of liquid.
Xu Chuan continuously used his powerful soul force to purify the impurities within them.
He compressed them to their most perfect state.
Casually forming hand seals, countless runes were etched into the liquids, and they began to fuse slowly.
This process lasted for over a month.
Finally, the originally independent liquids merged together.
Slowly, they formed the shape of a sword.
Only one step remained before success!
At the crucial moment, Xu Chuan directly threw the Golden Crow egg into it.
Under the scorching of the Chaos Fire, a mournful cry emanated from the egg.
Then it slowly melted, transforming into the purest essence of the sun.
"Fuse!"
Xu Chuan commanded, instantly unleashing countless laws and imprinting them onto the sword blank.
The sun essence instantly integrated into the sword blank, and then slowly took the form Xu Chuan had envisioned.
Clang!
A sharp sword hum pierced through the entire void.
A fiery red longsword flew out from within, and on the sword, a phantom of a Golden Crow flickered, letting out a celestial roar.
The moment the longsword emerged, countless lightning bolts appeared in the void, and a void storm erupted.
Xu Chuan understood that this was a tribulation that an Emperor Weapon must undergo upon its birth.
If it passed, it would become a true Emperor Weapon.
If it failed, it would shatter into dust and never be born.
Seeing this, Xu Chuan showed no signs of worry.
He had absolute confidence in the weapon he had forged.
It would definitely pass this tribulation!
As expected.
Facing this terrifying lightning tribulation, the longsword showed no fear.
The Golden Crow phantom on it let out another celestial roar and charged directly towards the lightning tribulation.
Rumble!
A deafening explosion sounded.
The lightning tribulation was instantly dispersed, coming and going quickly.
The longsword absorbed the vital energy from the lightning tribulation, its aura becoming even more formidable.
Its tier had even subtly reached the peak of the second tier!
Perhaps due to the integration of the Golden Crow egg, the longsword was born with a sword spirit.
It could be said that after a period of nurturing, it would definitely reach the third tier!
After absorbing all the vital energy, the longsword immediately concealed its aura.
With a gesture from Xu Chuan, it flew into his hand.
Stroking the law-etched patterns on the sword's body, Xu Chuan softly said, "You shall be named Jingzhe (Awakening of Insects)!"
"From now on, you must always protect Miaoyin by my side."
Perhaps sensing Xu Chuan's words, the Jingzhe sword trembled.
