Chapter 2272 Ancient Weapon Forging Techniques: Repairing the Dragon Flag

Cultivation takes no time.

For true immortals who are in seclusion cultivating, the passage of time is not very noticeable.

Often, when they finish dealing with a task at hand, they are surprised to find that many years have passed.

For example, Chen Xuan, who is currently in seclusion in the Immortal Beast Tower.

He devoted himself to comprehending the formation diagram of the Nebula Array.

Unbeknownst to them, three years had already passed.

On this day, Chen Xuan, who was in seclusion in the Immortal Beast Tower studying the Nebula Array, suddenly opened his eyes for some unknown reason.

A deep sense of enlightenment then appeared on his face.

"Haha, I've finally figured out the Nebula Array's formation diagram! Now, as long as I gather all the necessary immortal ores to refine the Nebula Array, I can try refining it!"

Chen Xuan looked very happy.

Soon, with a thought, he recorded all the details of refining the Nebula Array in a jade slip.

A moment later, Chen Xuan took out another sound transmission talisman, said a few words, and activated it on the spot.

After dealing with this matter, Chen Xuan did not continue his seclusion.

Instead, he got up and left the Immortal Beast Tower.

When he appeared again, Chen Xuan was already in his cave.

Before long, Chen Xuan saw Nangong Yuling appear outside his cave.

"come in!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Chen Xuan quickly opened up a narrow path in the cave, allowing only one person to pass through at a time.

Nangong Yuling agreed and appeared in front of Chen Xuan with practiced ease.

"Greetings, Uncle-Master Chen!"

Nangong Yuling said respectfully.

Chen Xuan nodded.

He immediately handed the jade slip in his hand to Nangong Yuling.

"I need to refine an array recently, and these are the materials I need. You need to hurry up and buy them for me. Even if it costs a lot, it doesn't matter. It has to be quick!" Chen Xuan instructed.

Nangong Yuling's expression hardened.

She quickly nodded seriously.

"Uncle Chen, rest assured, this disciple will do his best to help you gather these things as soon as possible!"

"Hmm, did you give the thing I asked you to give to Senior Brother Wengtian last time?"

"Reporting to Uncle Chen, I delivered the items to Uncle Wengtian that very day. It is said that Uncle Wengtian went into seclusion two years ago to attempt to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. However, so much time has passed, and there has been no further news from him. This is rather strange for me!"

"Heh, breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm isn't that easy. Even with a Golden Immortal Pill, success isn't guaranteed. Otherwise, the number of Golden Immortals in our Longevity Immortal Sect wouldn't be so small!"

Chen Xuan explained with a smile.

Taking this opportunity, he gave Nangong Yuling some more instructions before sending her away.

For the past three years, besides studying the formation diagram of the Dragon Star Cloud Formation, Chen Xuan has been meditating and cultivating every day in a routine manner.

Although his cultivation level hasn't improved much, he's getting closer and closer to the late-stage Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm.

"I wonder when those people from Yaoguang Cave will arrive. Oh well, I'm not in a hurry. Anyway, I'll go back and help Chen Peng repair the Dragon Tiger Leopard Flag first!"

Chen Xuan muttered softly.

Soon, with a thought, he vanished from the spot.

When it reappears, it is already in the lightning-attribute mimicry space.

Wow!

The immense power of lightning from all around rapidly converged towards Chen Xuan.

At that moment, Chen Peng, who was busy repairing the Dragon Tiger Leopard Flag, was overjoyed to see Chen Xuan suddenly appear.

"Master, you've finally arrived! I've completed all the preparations for repairing the Dragon-Tiger-Leopard Flag!"

"Next, I need your help, Master, and Chen Li, to help me integrate the Red Water Black Dragon Soul into the Dragon Flag."

"Then, through a special secret technique, the Dragon Tiger Leopard Flag is re-refined to complete the final re-refining process."

Chen Peng is quite talented in the art of weapon crafting.

During this period, Chen Peng was busy every day helping Chen Xuan repair the dragon flag.

And improvements to the Dragon, Tiger and Leopard Flag.

He does everything meticulously.

At this moment, Chen Xuan could clearly see that the dragon flag had been completely repaired by Chen Peng.

Only the step of merging with the Black Dragon Demon Soul of the Crimson Water remains.

"Haha, don't worry, Chen Li and I will definitely not let you down!"

Chen Xuan smiled happily.

On a whim, he immediately called Chen Li over.

However, Chen Peng was still not entirely at ease.

Taking this opportunity, he explained his weapon-forging strategy in detail and repeatedly reminded the two of important points such as when to attack and when to hold back.

After everything was ready, Chen Peng cast a mysterious spell on the dragon flag.

Boom!

A terrifying clap of thunder sounded.

A mysterious lightning rune swiftly landed on the dragon flag.

Soon, the dragon flag, under Chen Peng's skillful control, floated in the void.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Peng unleashed a series of profound spells.

The power of lightning rules gathered near the dragon flag increased.

Chen Xuan and Chen Li, however, stood aside and watched attentively.

Although Chen Xuan was not very proficient in the art of weapon crafting.

With his knowledge as a late-stage Celestial Immortal, he could tell that Chen Peng's weapon-refining skills were extraordinary.

Especially since Chen Peng didn't let Chen Li make a move, but instead used the power of lightning rules to refine the weapon, Chen Xuan was immediately shocked.

"The ancient immortals of the past did not all use the power of fire-attribute rules to forge artifacts. They used the power of lightning rules to forge artifacts!"

"If I'm not mistaken, Chen Peng is using an ancient weapon-refining technique right now, isn't he? No wonder his weapon-refining skills are extraordinary!"

Chen Xuan was secretly surprised.

On the surface, however, he remained calm and composed.

After Chen Peng had been busy for most of the hour, he immediately nodded to Chen Xuan and Chen Li.

Soon, Chen Xuan and Chen Li made their move together.

"Chirp!"

Chen Li let out a soft cry and transformed into a ball of golden flame, rapidly burning wildly under the dragon banner.

Chen Xuan, however, continued to pour immortal power into the dragon flag.

Chen Peng surveyed the entire situation and continuously unleashed a series of profound magical techniques.

The dragon flag was completely integrated into the power of the lightning and fire attributes.

Half an hour later, when one-third of the immortal power in Chen Xuan's dantian was consumed, Chen Peng pointed his finger in the air.

"Roar!"

A piercing dragon roar suddenly came from the void.

It was then that Chen Peng had released the Crimson Water Black Dragon Demon Soul.

However, this unruly fellow, having just escaped from the jade bottle, planned to run away immediately.

But Chen Peng was prepared, and he would not let the Chishui Black Dragon Soul succeed.

With a flick of his finger, a vast net of lightning descended rapidly from the sky, completely enveloping the Crimson Water Black Dragon Demon Soul beneath it.

In the blink of an eye, the raging power of lightning rules caused the Crimson Water Black Dragon Demon Soul unbearable pain, completely robbing it of its ability to resist.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan's expression immediately lit up with joy.

With a loud shout, he flicked his fingers repeatedly.

A chain of five elements rules, as thick as a bowl, swiftly appeared around the Crimson Water Black Dragon's soul, carrying the Crimson Water Black Dragon's demon soul into the dragon flag.

Upon seeing this, Chen Peng unleashed several more spells towards the dragon flag.

The Red Water Black Dragon Soul, which had been struggling incessantly, fell completely silent.

And it gradually merged with the Dragon Flag.

However, the whole process was very slow.

Chen Peng and the other two were not in a hurry at all.

They carefully cooperated with Chen Peng to continue refining the dragon soul.

Two days passed while we waited.

When the soul of the Crimson Water Black Dragon was completely refined by the three of them and perfectly integrated into the Dragon Flag, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Chen Xuan and Chen Li collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, panting heavily.

Although Chen Peng, who was at the Golden Immortal realm, was extremely exhausted, he continued to cast spells and refine the Dragon Banner.

Half an hour later, Chen Peng finally stopped.

He casually grabbed the dragon flag and handed it to Chen Xuan.

"Master, the dragon flag has been successfully repaired. Please test its power!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan's immortal power in his dantian had been mostly restored.

Upon seeing Chen Peng hand over the dragon flag, he immediately stood up with a smile and poured a stream of pure immortal power into the dragon flag.

boom!

The mini dragon flag, about the size of a palm, suddenly increased in size at this moment.

Before long, it grew into a large banner over ten feet in size.

On the banner, a spirited black dragon from the Chishui River quietly emerged.

He stared at Chen Xuan with a ferocious expression.

But when its gaze met Chen Xuan's, it clearly softened.

"Judging from its aura alone, the power of the Dragon Banner has been fully restored. In fact, it has even increased slightly."

"However, I'll have to test its exact power myself to find out!"

Chen Xuan looked delighted.

With a flick of his finger, the Dragon-Seeking Sword hummed softly and thrust directly towards the black dragon.

Black Dragon was greatly alarmed.

Before the Dragon-Seeking Sword could get close, the thick, powerful dragon claw slammed down on it.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the Dragon-Seeking Sword was sent flying seven or eight zhang away by the black dragon.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank.

The next instant, he quickly put the Dragon-Seeking Sword into his dantian.

"This……"

Chen Xuan was shocked.

Recalling the terrifying power the black dragon had just unleashed, he smiled with satisfaction.

"Haha, the power of the Dragon Flag should have reached the highest level of a top-grade supreme immortal artifact, right?"

"No wonder my Dragon-Seeking Sword is no match for the Dragon Flag."

"However, this Dragon, Tiger and Leopard Banner is a set. Although the Dragon Banner has been repaired, the Dragon, Tiger and Leopard Banners still need to be used together."

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Master. Once the Dragon Banner, one of the three main banners, is repaired, the subsequent crafting of the smaller banners will be much simpler!"

"Furthermore, Master doesn't need to participate in the following work. Chen Li only needs to cooperate with me!"

Chen Peng explained with a smile.

"Yes, if that's the case, you and Chen Li can stay here and get things done. Contact me once the Dragon Tiger Leopard Flag is repaired!"

Chen Xuan gave a word of advice and then left satisfied.

When Chen Xuan returned to the side of the Cold Pool, he smiled with satisfaction. He then took out the essence blood of the Crimson Water Black Dragon.

"The Dragon-Tiger-Leopard Flag has been mostly repaired. Now I can finally focus on cultivating the Heavenly Dragon Overlord Body Technique."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan directly drew upon a drop of Crimson Water Black Dragon essence blood and activated the Heavenly Dragon Overlord Body Technique to begin cultivation.

Wow!

Under Chen Xuan's control, the essence blood of the Crimson Water Black Dragon rapidly covered Chen Xuan's entire body.

And it quickly seeped into Chen Xuan's body.

An indescribable burning sensation quickly contorted Chen Xuan's expression.

But Chen Xuan clenched his teeth and showed no sign of stopping.

Now, Chen Xuan's Heavenly Dragon Overlord Body Technique has reached the fourth major stage of mastery.

Based solely on physical strength, he is fully capable of competing with a late-stage Celestial Immortal.

Unfortunately, the enemies Chen Xuan encountered during this period were not ordinary late-stage Celestial Immortals.

That is why Chen Xuan didn't use the Heavenly Dragon Overlord Body Technique very often.

This time, Chen Xuan plans to use the essence of the Crimson Black Dragon in his hand to cultivate the fourth level of the Heavenly Dragon Overlord Body Technique to the Great Perfection state in one go.

Wow!

Several hours later, the first batch of Crimson Blood Black Dragon essence blood was completely refined by Chen Xuan.

At this moment, Chen Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, recalling the pain he had just experienced during his cultivation, he still felt a lingering fear.

"As expected of the blood essence of the Crimson Water Black Dragon in the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm. It was extremely difficult for me to refine it."

"However, judging from the results of this training of the Heavenly Dragon Overlord Body Technique, it is quite good."

"Once I completely refine this bottle of Crimson Water Black Dragon Essence Blood, I should be able to cultivate my Heavenly Dragon Overlord Body Technique to the Great Perfection stage, right?"
