Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Within the demon race's holy city, the matter of the 【Exquisite Phoenix Treasure】 was being discussed, so naturally, the demon race had also learned of this news.

Demon Lord Ling Wuse paced back and forth in the courtyard of his residence, his brow furrowed, as if contemplating something.

Nanli Jingwei sat at a jade table under a tree in the courtyard, brewing tea. She glanced at Ling Wuse, who was pacing back and forth, and said, "Husband, if you are worried that Wuxie will lose face at the engagement ceremony the day after tomorrow, then go to the treasure vault and choose a treasure for him as a token of love for Qingyu. There's no need to be so troubled."

"It's easier said than done. That 【Exquisite Phoenix Treasure】 is extremely special, a Ancestral artifact in terms of grade. To overwhelm it, unless it's a Supreme Sacred Weapon! Although my demon race's treasure vault has many treasures, there aren't many Supreme artifacts, and most of them already have owners. Even those that are unowned were reserved for their future masters long ago..."

At this point, Ling Wuse's lips twitched a couple of times, and he said, "This time, my demon race took the initiative to propose the marriage. Now we're also providing treasures for him as engagement gifts. Wouldn't that make my precious daughter seem like she's marrying down?"

"Then what's the point of you getting anxious and worked up here? Why not just ask Wuxie directly?"

Nanli Jingwei rolled her eyes at him. As far as she was concerned, whether it was marrying down or not, as long as her daughter was happy, nothing else mattered. Why bother with these things?

If someone wasn't deliberately trying to embarrass them at the engagement ceremony, why would there be such a need?

Can Wuxie be blamed for this?

"Jingwei, you're right. That kid wants to marry Qingyu, so he has to bleed a little, right? He wants us to give it away for free? No way! If he can't handle it himself, then let him lose face in public!"

Ling Wuse said huffily, feeling a sense of displeasure at the thought of his daughter belonging to someone else in a couple of days.

He had raised his daughter for decades, and now she was going to be someone else's.

He sighed inwardly. Daughters always leave home eventually; sooner or later, he would have to face this day, unless his daughter devoted herself to the Dao forever and didn't think about marriage.

But if that were the case, unless he had another child, wouldn't his lineage be cut off?

The problem was that it was very difficult for his wife's Qingluan demon blood and his peacock demon blood to combine and produce offspring.

Especially after having one child, it was basically impossible to conceive again. This was a characteristic of their bloodline and couldn't be changed.

"Look at you, how old are you, and you never stop saying harsh words and worrying about everything."

Nanli Jingwei teased him, causing the muscles on Ling Wuse's face to twitch a couple of times.

…

At Ling Qingyu's residence, Jun Wuxie and the others were gathered when they saw Demon Lord Ling Wuse arrive.

"Father, why are you here?"

Ling Qingyu quickly got up to greet him.

"Father-in-law."

Jun Wuxie also responded. The day after tomorrow would be his engagement day with Qingyu. At this time, his father-in-law's arrival shouldn't be just to see his daughter; otherwise, his mother-in-law should have accompanied him.

"Wuxie, the engagement ceremony between you and Qingyu is about to be held. I wonder if you have prepared a token of love?"

Jun Wuxie was about to answer when Ling Wuse continued, "Today, the Myriad Treasures Trading Company in my demon race's holy city held a grand auction and auctioned off an item called the 【Exquisite Phoenix Treasure】, which is a special Ancestral artifact. It can not only be used as a weapon but also has an extremely gorgeous appearance. It is a special Ancestral artifact, and its value is comparable to a Half-step Supreme Sacred Weapon."

Hearing him say this, Jun Wuxie immediately understood.

It seemed that the 【Exquisite Phoenix Treasure】 might appear at the engagement ceremony, and his father-in-law was unsure and came to remind him and test the waters.

Ling Qingyu couldn't help but feel annoyed when she heard this, and said, "Father, look at what you're saying. Your daughter doesn't care about these things at all. Why should we care about other people's opinions? You also know that the Dawn Dynasty has just been established and doesn't have such a deep foundation!"

Ling Wuse looked at his precious daughter and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Of course, he didn't care about other people's opinions, but the Ling family lineage of the demon race always had to save face.

On such an occasion, having invited the forces of the Eastern Territory, if they were still suppressed, where would the Ling family lineage's face be?

As one of the two lineages of the demon race, the Ling family lineage also represented the face of the demon race.

Daughters always leave home eventually. Her heart was all with her lover, and she didn't even care about the face of the demon race.

"Qingyu, how can you talk to your father like that?" Jun Wuxie's tone was slightly reproachful, and then he smiled and said to Ling Wuse, "Father-in-law, don't worry. At the engagement ceremony, I, your son-in-law, shouldn't embarrass you and Qingyu."

"Wuxie, do you really have that confidence? You need to know what that means. To overwhelm the 【Exquisite Phoenix Treasure】, I'm afraid you'll need a Supreme Sacred Weapon to do it!"

"It seems a bit difficult..." Jun Wuxie sighed, and then said, "But I still have some confidence. Please wait and see, Father-in-law."

Ling Wuse stared at Jun Wuxie for a long time, and finally nodded, "Then Father-in-law will wait for you to give everyone a surprise. Also, on the day of the engagement ceremony, I'm afraid there will be people who indirectly or directly provoke you in various ways. You know, Qingyu is so outstanding, countless proud sons of heaven in the world admire her and seek her without success. Now that she is going to be your fiancée, there will naturally be no shortage of jealous people, and some of them will definitely make trouble for you."

"I have already thought of this, son-in-law."

"Alright, Father-in-law believes that you can handle these things very well."

Ling Wuse didn't say anything more, "Then Father-in-law won't disturb you anymore."

After he finished speaking, he left without lingering.

Ling Qingyu watched her father's departing back, her beautiful moth eyebrows slightly furrowed. She turned to look at Jun Wuxie and said apologetically, "You bad egg, you shouldn't have agreed. This time, it must have made things difficult for you. The Dawn Dynasty has just been established and is now at war with the Sacrificial Earth Dynasty, which is a difficult time for resources..."

Jun Wuxie looked at her with a smile, "You underestimate your man too much. Just now, I said it was a bit difficult to your father, which was an understatement. Do you think a person with flourishing luck would lack good things?"

He had originally planned to return to Qingzhou to prepare a token of love for the engagement day, but he didn't expect his father-in-law to come and talk about this matter at this time.

"Really won't be difficult?"

Ling Qingyu was still very worried. Of course, she believed that he possessed many rare and exotic treasures, but to overwhelm the 【Exquisite Phoenix Treasure】, that would require a Supreme artifact!

What did this grade of artifact mean?

The three major trading companies have never sold Supreme artifacts since ancient times. The highest they sell is Ancestral artifacts, and they are already priced at sky-high prices.

"Believe me, you obediently stay here with Aunt Jing and the others and wait for me to return."

"Are you leaving?"

Ling Qingyu looked at him in surprise, and then realized that he should be going to find a way to solve the token of love matter, so she remained silent.

"I will leave for a day and will definitely return tomorrow."

"Your teacher will go with you."

Mu Ciyin stepped forward. Now that Jun Wuxie was leaving, she naturally didn't want to stay here.

Although she was already very familiar with Jingya, Ling Qingyu, and Qing'er, she still only wanted to be with her disciple.

After their figures disappeared for a long time, Ling Qingyu still stood quietly in place. She felt a little lost, and she felt that she had brought him difficulties and troubles.

"Qingyu, don't think wildly."

Jingya pulled her back into the small courtyard.

…

Qingzhou, outside the Dawn Imperial City, the Refinement Sect.

Jun Wuxie and Mu Ciyin directly appeared in front of the Refinement Sect's forbidden area.

"Little Junior Brother is here!"

Shen Manman, Shen Zhu, and Shen Xi were very happy to see him.

"Wasn't Little Junior Brother going to the demon race? How is the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm matter?"

After sitting down, Shen Xi personally brewed tea and asked this.

"The secret realm will be opened in a few days. Before that, there will be a ranking competition. I have something I need Second Senior Brother's help with today, Junior Brother."

"What do you need, Little Junior Brother? Just say it, no need to be polite. You are now the highest authority in the Refinement Sect, just give the order."

Shen Zhu patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "You came to find Second Senior Brother, so it must be related to refining."

"That's right, it is indeed related to refining." Jun Wuxie nodded, "Second Senior Brother, what grade of artifact can you refine at most within a day?"

"Supreme quality. After all, there is only one day, which is a bit short, so I can refine a High-level Supreme Sacred Weapon at most." Saying this, he looked at Shen Manman and Shen Xi, and added, "If I have the help of your Eldest Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister, there is a good chance that I can refine a Primordial Sacred Weapon! Fortunately, Little Junior Brother, you are a Primordial Talisman Master. If you can engrave the talisman array and integrate it into the weapon when it is out of the furnace, the success rate will be greatly increased!"

"Very good, a Primordial Sacred Weapon is already good enough."

Jun Wuxie was very satisfied with this result. A Primordial Sacred Weapon was already enough for Ling Qingyu to use for many years. If she entered the Eternal Realm in the future, it would not be too late to change it then.

"Little Junior Brother, you need it so urgently. Is there any special purpose?"

Jun Wuxie nodded and immediately told them what had happened.

Shen Manman, Shen Zhu, and Shen Xi were surprised and delighted to hear this.

"Congratulations, Little Junior Brother, on gaining a beautiful woman, hahaha!"

"So it's an engagement gift for your sister-in-law. Then we can't be careless. In Second Senior Brother's opinion, we might as well just use Ninth-grade Sacred Material. Although we can only refine it into a Primordial Sacred Weapon for now, we can refine it a second time in the future to improve its grade. Moreover, time is tight, and the success rate of refining Ninth-grade Sacred Material into a Primordial Sacred Weapon will be much higher."

"Second Senior Brother is right. I happen to have some Ninth-grade Sacred Material."

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he took out a piece of blue gold, flowing with a jade-like luster, containing pure metal energy inside.

This Ninth-grade Sacred Material was naturally the spoils he obtained from the treasure vault after destroying the Fallen Red Dust branch.

"Good material!"

Shenzhu exclaimed in admiration. The azure metal before him was considered top-grade even among Ninth-Grade Sacred Materials. "Little Junior Brother, what kind of Primordial Sacred Artifact are you planning to forge?"

"I'll forge a sword."

Jun Wuxie thought of Ling Qingyu's proficiency in swordsmanship. All her attack methods were inseparable from the sword.

"Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, please wait a moment."

Jun Wuxie already had a design in mind. He directly drew in the void, and in a short while, he sketched out the sword he wanted to forge.

The sword was three feet long and nearly two inches wide. Both sides of the blade and the handle were engraved with Qingluan patterns, lifelike and vivid. The edge of the sword was also covered with Qingluan feather patterns, making the entire sword look very exquisite and beautiful.

"This Primordial Sacred Sword, Junior Sister will definitely love it. Let's begin!"

After Shenzhu finished speaking, a soul light flickered between his eyebrows, engraving the image of the sword drawn by Jun Wuxie into his sea of consciousness. Shenmanman and Shenxi did the same.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie summoned the Eternal Sacred Furnace.

Shenzhu was overjoyed. He had never used the Eternal Sacred Furnace to forge weapons before; this was his first time!

This furnace was the treasure of the Refinement Sect. Even his master regarded it as a treasure back then.

With the Eternal Sacred Furnace, the success rate and speed of weapon forging could be greatly improved. Even with his current forging skills, with the blessing of the Eternal Sacred Furnace and the Primordial Rune Array, there might be a very small chance to forge a top-grade Primordial Sacred Weapon!

"Little Junior Brother, you can now focus on preparing the Primordial Rune Array to be integrated into the weapon. Leave the rest to us."

"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, and a stream of pure golden flames, like a rushing river, surged into the Sacred Furnace.

This flame was a portion of the Nine Yang True Fire he had collected in the Fire Domain.

"This is... Nine Yang True Fire!"

Shenmanman, Shenzhu, and Shenxi were all shocked, and they looked forward to this forging even more.

In weapon forging, forging skills, the forging furnace, forging materials, forging flames, the rune array integrated into the weapon, and auxiliary forging spring water are all crucial.

Shenzhu put the Ninth-Grade Sacred Material into the Eternal Sacred Furnace, then took out a spatial jade bottle, uncorked it, and carefully poured two drops into it.

These were Ninth-Grade Gold Transformation Sacred Spring, used to help better fuse the Ninth-Grade materials to achieve a perfect effect.

This spring water was extremely precious, a rare treasure, and extremely difficult to find.

"During the forging process, we also need to ask Pavilion Master Mu for help. When quenching, if Pavilion Master Mu condenses a Cold Spring, the effect will be even better."

"Just speak up when needed."

Mu Ciyin nodded. She would naturally not refuse to help her disciple forge a weapon.
