âDivine weapon?â Zu An repeated, stunned. Even though the Taiâe Sword had always been extraordinary, apart from being extremely tough, only its domain ability was special. That power had been really useful in the beginning, but eventually, as the cultivation of his enemies grew greater and greater, the usefulness of its pressure had become more and more dubious.
It was definitely at the level of a heaven-grade weapon, but if one were to call it deity-grade, then it didnât really fit the description. It wouldnât even be good enough to call an immortal-grade weapon.
Mi Li harrumphed when she saw his expression. âWhat does an ignorant kid like you know? The Taiâe Sword is the sword of the son of heaven, reaching into the skies above and reaching the earth below. When this sword makes an appearance, all under the heavens must submit. It was naturally a genuine deity-grade weapon, but due to the corrosion of time and the seals that were placed on it, it fell to its current heaven-grade.â
Zu An thought that made sense. He couldn't help but ask something else that had been puzzling him, though. âSealed? Who sealed it?â
âIt was probably Ying Zheng. He hated me in the past, and the Taiâe Sword was even the Chu Stateâs divine sword. He was worried that I would use the Taiâe Sword, which was why he placed a seal on it,â Mi Li replied.
âProbably?â Zu An asked with a weird look. âYouâre not even sure about such an important thing?â
Mi Liâs expression became a bit strange. She replied, âI donât know. I feel as if some of my memories are a bit blurry, and recently, I seem to have awakened some other memoriesâŚâ
âWhat memories?â Zu An quickly asked.
Mi Liâs face reddened. She snapped, âIt has nothing to do with you! Right, greet me as your master again.â
Zu An was speechless. This woman really is fickle. But why does she like hearing me call her master so much?
Still, he didnât mind, and called her âmasterâ again as requested. Mi Li beamed with joy and murmured, âOne day⌠It will definitely be interesting.â
âWhen did you become the type for riddles?â Zu An muttered, really speechless.
âOkay, okay,â Mi Li said, putting away her smile. âLetâs use this chance to repair and upgrade the Taiâe Sword.â
Zu An nodded. The other heaven-grade ores were already gradually melting inside the big cauldron. The White Lotus Flame had also begun burning more fiercely. Strong ki filled the room.
He placed the Taiâe Sword inside the big cauldron while controlling the White Lotus Flame. He covered the cauldron while asking worriedly, âYou live inside. Wonât the flames affect you?â
âIt will affect me a bit,â Mi Li said with a nod. âBut my soul isnât inside the sword right now, so it shouldnât be too great.â
âThen Iâll do my best to be gentle, or else youâll be affected,â Zu An replied. He began to adjust the fire afterward. The White Lotus Flame in the cauldron visibly became weaker.
âNo,â Mi Li said, quickly stopping him. âHow can the refinement of a divine weapon be so easy? Not even your White Lotus Flame is guaranteed to be strong enough, and it needs the assistance of the Meteor Spark Pills, so how can you choose to lower the temperature?â
Zu An also understood that principle. He replied, âThen, if you canât take it, let me know. Compared to a divine weapon, I care more about your safety.â
âI know that already,â Mi Li said with a hint of a gentle expression in her eyes. How many people could refuse the temptation of a divine weapon? If it were someone else with an ambitious and faulty character, they wouldnât necessarily care about her if they could create a deity-grade weapon.
Then, Zu An activated the Forging System. He discovered that it was really intuitive. Even if one knew nothing about forging, it didnât matter. It was enough as long as one controlled the fireâs output.
There was something similar to a speedometer above the cauldron, with a certain range in the center that shone with light. That range moved constantly. As long as one controlled the fireâs strength to keep the needle within the region, that was good, because it meant that the fire was at a suitable level. The range moved very quickly, and the needle was very sensitive. Just a slight bit of carelessness would make it leave the optimal region. Its sensitivity was so high that it was a task completely impossible for ordinary cultivators.
Fortunately, Zu An grasped every strand of ki very carefully. As such, he was able to just barely keep the fire within the right range. Even so, it was still really strenuous. He didnât dare to show any carelessness.
The heaven-grade ores gradually turned into scarlet liquid that poured onto the Taiâe Sword. Soon, the Taiâe Sword became like a black hole, absorbing the scarlet liquid.
Mi Liâs beautiful brows furrowed. She took a few steps back to avoid Zu Anâs gaze. Then, she secretly tugged on her collar, while her other hand gently fanned her neck. Even though her soul was outside, the Taiâe Sword was still where she was rooted. She could still feel waves of heat.
The process continued for a while, before Zu An heard a âDing!â He was overjoyed, quickly turning around to Mi Li to announce the good news. âItâs already been successfully repaired, beautiful⌠masterâŚâ
Mi Li awkwardly tightened her collar before replying, âThen throw the Calamity Gold in. Use this chance to see if you can return it to its former glory.â
âOh, alright,â Zu An said, then threw the incomparably precious Calamity Gold into the large cauldron. He didnât even give it another look, and instead turned around to look at Mi Li, asking, âWhat are you doing?â
âItâs a bit hot. Canât I fan myself?â Mi Li replied, shooting him a look.
âOf course you can,â Zu An said, finally realizing what was happening. In a sense, the Taiâe Sword was also Mi Liâs body. Now that it was being cooked like this, it would be weirder if she didnât feel hot.
A scene suddenly appeared in his mind. Mi Li couldn't take it anymore, and she removed all her clothesâŚ
âJust what kind of nonsense are you thinking for there to be that disgusting smile on your face?â Mi Li asked suspiciously.
âWhat? I wasnât, I didnât! You canât just say whatever you want!â Zu An quickly refuted her three times. At the same time, he felt a bit weird. Wasnât he in good condition right now? Why did he still have so many strange thoughts?
At the same time, he felt the ki within him become very restless. However, he just attributed it to being like that because he had been controlling the White Lotus Flame, so he didnât pay too much attention to it.
âFrom now on, youâre not allowed to look behind you,â Mi Li harrumphed. She knew that once the divine weapon was being refined, the temperature would grow much, much hotter. She would have to focus on neutralizing the heat, and that meant she would need to open her collar further to help dissipate the heat.
âUnderstood!â Zu An immediately replied. Inwardly, he thought, But I can still see with my divine sense.
As if guessing his thoughts, Mi Li continued, âNormally, one needs to have earth immortal rank cultivation in order to have a chance of refining a deity-grade weapon. Even though your current cultivation isnât bad, youâre still far from the correct condition. Fortunately, the Taiâe Sword was a divine weapon to begin with, so you only need to restore it to its former glory. The difficulty is much lower than forging a completely new divine weapon.
âEven so, it shouldnât be something someone of your level should be able to accomplish. Fortunately, you have this strange, large cauldron that can lend you a helping hand. But you still need to be a hundred and twenty percent focused. Everything will be for nothing if you end up making a mistake.â
Zu An nodded. He knew that if he had been really tensed up earlier, the difficulty would only have been even higher. If he got distracted and looked behind him, the entire process could result in failure.
Seeing as he had heard her message, Mi Li calmed down and said, âThen you should hurry and begin.â
Zu An nodded. He activated the White Lotus Flame, sending the heat toward the Calamity Gold. However, as Calamity Gold was one of the worldâs most unique treasures, it actually didnât react at all.
Under Mi Liâs instruction, he put in the Meteor Spark Stones one after another. The White Lotus Flameâs power immediately climbed considerably. It was thanks to the forging systemâs great cauldron being special; otherwise, there wouldnât necessarily be any furnace in this world that could endure such crazy power.

The process continued for a while before the Calamity Gold Finally began to show signs of melting. Strands of golden energy that contained natural laws were guided toward the Taiâe Sword at the very center by the big cauldron.
The Taiâe Sword absorbed the wispy golden threads, and its entire body began to gradually release a layer of brilliant light. As it absorbed more golden threads, sparkling radiance began to flow along the surface of the swordâs body.
Suddenly, a voice called out in Zu Anâs head.
The system has detected that the forged weapon can be upgraded to immortal-grade. The required materials are True Dragon Blood, True Dragon Bones, and Breath of Rulers from the Lion or Tiger race. Would you like to continue with the upgrade?
