CHAPTER 614: CHAPTER 337 SCHEMING_2

Only thirteen stone spires remain.

The rest of the stone spires have almost completely disappeared.

As long as the remaining four stone spires are completely refined, the celestial artifact should be able to take shape.

Originally, he planned to use this celestial artifact to make a breakthrough in the Immortal Golden Immortal... but now that he’s on the path of the orthodox Immortal Dao, this celestial artifact is no longer needed.

So he plans to refine it directly into a powerful Dao Artifact.

However, his artifact refining progress has been stuck at the pinnacle of level eight, unable to reach level nine...

Li Qian moved and stood atop the celestial artifact, immediately using his immortal sense to communicate and inject his Frosty Spiritual Power into the celestial artifact....

Bong!

With the sound of a bell ringing.

The entire celestial artifact trembled slightly, emitting a faint halo.

Suddenly, Li Qian’s mind shook, as if he was inspired by a sudden insight, and the Divine Edge Refining, which he had already advanced to level eight artifact refining technique, began to refine this yet-to-be-formed celestial artifact.

A peculiar scene occurred, as each stone spire began to slowly melt away....

Finally, there were only nine stone spires left from the original thirteen.

The entire celestial artifact, originally stone-like, now took on the overall outline more like a hand, but with nine fingers.

Li Qian disconnected his mind from the celestial artifact, looked at the changes in the celestial artifact, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.

He didn’t expect that under the stimulus of the bell, the Divine Edge Refining would take effect on this celestial artifact.

He had tried many times before.... but had ultimately failed each time.

After all, the celestial artifact is such a special object, and trying to refine it with the Divine Edge Refining technique is extremely difficult.

There’s nothing he can do; his artifact refining level is only at the pinnacle of level eight.

Li Qian quickly checked the latest information on the system interface, and as he expected, the artifact refiner profession, which was previously at the pinnacle of level eight, had broken through to level nine.

Artifact Refiner (Level Nine 6/100).

"It seems that refining this celestial artifact with the Divine Edge Refining should be able to improve my artifact refining progress in the future."

Li Qian nodded in satisfaction.

This signifies that he has taken the most critical step in refining the celestial artifact into a Dao Artifact.

He has a premonition that once this celestial artifact is refined into a Dao Artifact, its power will certainly be incredibly astonishing.

....

Tianshu Palace.

Several Dao Masters from the Feathered Immortal Gate gathered here.

Except for Yuyang Daoist, the other six Dao Palace Masters were all present.

"Yuyang Daoist, are you sure this information is accurate?"

Yaoguang Daoist asked in a stern voice.

"One hundred percent accurate. In fact, I discovered some clues a long time ago, but due to insufficient evidence, I secretly investigated.... but I never thought that my Qi’er would inexplicably fall... This must be connected to the Unrivaled Dao Palace."

Yuyang Daoist said with a tone of grief.

"In the past hundred years or so, the sudden emergence of so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Unrivaled Dao Palace is inherently unreasonable... if indeed there’s collusion with the Shenxiao secret society, it would make sense."

Xuanji Daoist nodded and said, "Rumor has it that the Shenxiao Immortal Sect, which was destroyed hundreds of thousands of years ago, had a specialized branch of ancient Cultivators, and the Shenxiao secret society was established from the remnants of that ancient Cultivator branch."

"It must be so. The Shenxiao secret society definitely wants to seize power and use the Foundation Establishment Cultivators to monopolize our Feathered Immortal Gate’s Immortal status...."

"The Unrivaled Dao Palace doesn’t have any foundation, and the emergence of so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators is inherently unreasonable. I’ve long suspected that there’s some force backing the Unrivaled Dao Palace, and now it seems, it is undoubtedly linked to the Shenxiao secret society."

"However, Yuyang Daoist, while the Unrivaled Dao Palace is indeed suspicious, do you have concrete evidence?"

The Dao Masters present, shocked, began to express their opinions one by one.

"I certainly do."

Yuyang Daoist said calmly, then took out a crystal ball and with a wave of his hand, the crystal ball emerged, emitting a strange light that projected into the void, forming a light screen.

A scene appeared on the light screen, showing a conversation between Wu Shuang and an elder of the Shenxiao secret society, Mo Ran.

"This was captured after much effort by having someone secretly use a Memory Capturing Spirit Pearl."

Seeing the present Dao Masters fall silent, Yuyang Daoist immediately said, "From their conversation, it’s apparent that Wu Shuang has long been in collusion with the Shenxiao secret society."

"There’s also this, which I obtained accidentally..."

Yuyang Daoist then brought out a Memory Capturing Spirit Pearl, and the image released showed Chu Qi being confined within a White Bone Prison, with Wu Shuang standing by.

However, this image looked somewhat unstable, lasting only a few short breaths.

"This Memory Capturing Spirit Pearl is damaged, so it only contains this short piece of footage. My son’s death, Qi’er, must be connected to the wretched Wu Shuang."

Yuyang Daoist said, his eyes bloodshot.

"This Wu Shuang is truly audacious, as a member of the Immortal Gate, actually colluding with the Shenxiao rebels and harming her fellow sect members. Our Feathered Immortal Gate absolutely cannot tolerate this and must bring her to justice."

"We must immediately convene an Immortal Gate meeting to swiftly capture Wu Shuang...."

"This Wu Shuang has both betrayed and harmed her fellow sect members, any one of these acts is a capital offense...."

"We will immediately seal off the Unrivaled Dao Palace and capture Wu Shuang to bring her to justice.."

...

The many Dao Masters were filled with rage.

After all, betraying the Immortal Gate and harming fellow sect members are major taboos within the Immortal Gate.

Once it occurs, even a Dao Master must be judged and dealt with according to sect rules.

"Everyone, I’ve also discovered more information about Wu Shuang. If nothing unexpected happens, this woman is likely already at the Daluo Daoist Master level. So, if we truly want to deal with her, we must be extra cautious. This is also why I gathered you all here in secret to prevent alerting the enemy."

Yuyang Daoist said.

"What? Wu Shuang has reached the Daluo Realm?"

The faces of the Dao Masters present changed dramatically.

After all, the Feathered Immortal Gate only has two or three Taiyi-level Dao Masters, and as for Daluo.... not a single one.

Because to achieve the level of a Daluo Daoist Master, one must wash the body with Immortal Energy to complete the Principle Seed’s sprouting.

If Wu Shuang indeed became a Daluo Dao Master, she’d be difficult to deal with.

"Didn’t expect Wu Shuang to be hiding so deeply. If she truly is a Daluo Island Master, it further shows that she is indeed part of the Shenxiao secret society."

"Yuyang Daoist, what do you think is the best way to deal with Wu Shuang?"

"Yes, a Daluo Daoist Master is not so easy to deal with, and the Unrivaled Dao Palace has so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators... Even though these Foundation Establishment Cultivators have the Principle Seeds, their cultivation can’t keep up, and they aren’t true Dao Masters, but their numbers are overwhelming."

"We must find an opportunity to capture Wu Shuang secretly first; dealing with the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Unrivaled Dao Palace will then become much easier."

As the Dao Masters present began to discuss strategies.

Since learning that Wu Shuang may be a Daluo-level Dao Master, they knew that dismantling the Unrivaled Dao Palace would become extremely hazardous.

A Daluo-level Dao Master, with dozens or even hundreds of Foundation Establishment Cultivators... could easily destroy any Dao Palace of the Feathered Immortal Gate.

It shows that, unknowingly, the Unrivaled Dao Palace, established not even two hundred and forty years ago, has already amassed such a terrifying power.

If the Unrivaled Dao Palace continues to develop unchecked, it will be disastrous.

Fear is that the Feathered Immortal Gate would become the domain of the Unrivaled Dao Palace.

Where would there be any room for these Dao Palaces to survive?

After much discussion, the seven great Dao Palaces finally decided on a united plan to deal with the Unrivaled Dao Palace, including a comprehensive strategy to deal with Wu Shuang.

On the other side, Wu Shuang naturally remained unaware.

At this moment, she and Li Qian had just finished cultivating.

"Qian Yuan, I feel that with twenty years of time, my Principle Seed should be able to transform into the World Tree."

Wu Shuang said.

The effect of her dual cultivation with Li Qian was improving more and more.

Moreover, they weren’t lacking in Immortal Qi Elixirs.

"So have you made a decision about that matter?"

Li Qian asked.

"Qian Yuan, if I continue on my current cultivation path, would you oppose it?"

Wu Shuang asked, looking at Li Qian.

"I would naturally respect your choice."

Li Qian shook his head and said.

Although he hoped Wu Shuang would cultivate the orthodox Immortal Dao together with him, everyone has their own choices, and he couldn’t force it.

Moreover.... he couldn’t be entirely sure that he could make Wu Shuang stay on this path of the orthodox Immortal Dao.

Even his own confidence and assurance came from relying on the Immortal Device Chen Bell.

Even his disciples were encouraged to switch to the orthodox Immortal Dao because it allowed them to take shortcuts and more quickly gather the Principle Seed.

If one followed the conventional cultivation path, breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal and Profound Immortal levels would be extremely difficult, and later on, with Transformation and Infant Formation, becoming a Dao Master, finding the right Innate Spiritual Objects, and consolidating the Principle Seed, it would entail countless detours....
