Three days later, at Liang City, Ye Family Mansion.
"Why hasn't the master come out yet?" Wang Lie stood anxiously in front of the room, hand resting on the hilt of his sword, and asked in a low voice.
In front of the door, a beautiful young girl stood respectfully and said, "Young Master has not yet come out. I hope General can wait patiently. He instructed that no one is to disturb him while he is in seclusion."
"But it's been three days..." Wang Lie gritted his teeth and said, "All matters in Liang City are waiting for his decision. How can he be in seclusion for three days?"
At that moment, a strong young man walked out from Leaf Manor; it was the spirited Zhang Tianhe. He laughed heartily and said, "Wang Lie, brother, there's no need to worry. Zi Yu's aura is becoming increasingly powerful. I can sense that he has reached a critical moment in his cultivation. It’s best not to disturb him right now."
"Well, alright..."
Wang Lie nodded and said, "Zhang, recently there have been continuous battles in Peng City and Pei County. The government has sent heavy troops to eliminate the Chu Army. I'm afraid we might be caught off guard. If it affects Liang City, our small force won't be able to withstand it."
Zhang Tianhe asked, "Who is leading the Qin Army?"
Wang Lie replied solemnly, "Wang Li. He is a descendant of the Divine Weapon Wang Jian and the son of the famous general Wang Ben. He possesses unmatched bravery and has previously achieved great victories alongside General Zhang Han against Chen Shengjun. This person is highly skilled and should not be underestimated. This time, Wang Li commands fifty thousand elite soldiers southward. I fear Jiangdong Xiangyu may not be his match."
Zhang Tianhe pondered for a moment and said, "What is Wang Li's strength?"
"Starry Sky Level."
"Then there’s no problem." Zhang Tianhe smiled slightly and continued, "I have learned that Xiang Yu himself possesses immense strength and divine power. He entered the Stellar Realm at seventeen years old, and his current cultivation is astonishing. Wang Li may not be a match for Xiang Yu. Moreover, Xiang Yu commands experts like Ying Bu, Long Qie, Ji Bu, and Zhongli Mei, all of whom are Starry Sky Experts. A mere Wang Li cannot shake the Chu Army in the slightest!"
Wang Lie couldn't help but chuckle, "I see now; then I can rest assured!"
With that, Wang Lie turned to leave. Zhang Tianhe furrowed his brow and thought to himself, "But I cannot rest easy. With Xiang Yu's extraordinary prowess and vast forces, how can he allow others to sleep beside him? Zi Yu is establishing his authority in Liang City; how could Xiang Yu tolerate that?"
...
Inside the secret chamber.
The flames flickered, and Ye Yang was drenched in sweat, his eyes tightly closed. A vast amount of Starlight Power floated around him as he continuously infused Fire God Fragment True Qi into the Divine Dragon Cauldron. The extraordinary cauldron trembled slightly, and the Dragonstone inside glowed red-hot but did not melt.
For three full days, Ye Yang had been immersed in the ocean of Fire Element, refining the Dragonstone countless times with his Refining Technique. Yet, this stubborn stone remained unmelted. Heaven knows what material this Dragonstone is made of; perhaps it is an otherworldly substance.
Ye Yang did not give up. He continued to gather Fire God Power, repeatedly refining the surface of the Dragonstone, completely absorbed in the realm of Refining Technique.
"Sizzle..."
Finally, with a faint sound, the material on the surface of the Dragonstone began to peel away. Soon after, Starlit Flame surged in wildly, and within ten minutes, the melting of the Dragonstone was completed. The cauldron was filled with boiling molten iron, continuously bubbling under the enhancement of Fire God Power.
Ye Yang opened his eyes and smiled slightly. "I've finally completed half of it!"
In the Divine Dragon Cauldron, light and shadows flickered as Qin Fang's figure floated in mid-air. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Zi Yu, very good! To successfully refine such a uniquely structured ore is no small feat. Have you noticed? Just by melting this Dragonstone, your cultivation has already improved significantly."
Ye Yang was taken aback for a moment and sensed the turbulent power within him. Indeed, he felt that he had surpassed the initial stage of Starry Sky and seemed to have reached the intermediate level of Starry Sky Level. If he could truly forge an extraordinary Divine Weapon this time and absorb the Core of Starry Sky Beast, perhaps Ye Yang could reach the peak of Starry Sky First Level!
Thinking of this made him ecstatic. He took out the Core of Silver Armored Dragon from his Cosmic Bag and tossed it into the Divine Dragon Cauldron. After drinking some water and refusing two pounds of sauced beef, he continued his cultivation!
...
Refining the Core of Starry Sky Beast was something Ye Yang had never done before. When Fire God Power came into contact with the Core, Ye Yang could clearly feel the spirit of Silver Armored Dragon materializing and lunging towards him. This Starry Sky Beast was formidable and powerful!
However, Ye Yang was no longer what he used to be. Standing there motionless, he suddenly felt a pressure enveloping him. Ye Yang opened his eyes wide and looked at the soul of Silver Armored Dragon, shouting, "Nefarious Dragon, why don't you surrender quickly?"
"Roar!"
The Silver Armored Dragon roared as its claws hovered in mid-air, almost touching Ye Yang's forehead but just barely held back by Ye Yang's power—disaster was imminent!
Thus they faced off; Ye Yang urged True Qi while refining the Core and simultaneously condensed Starry Sky Pressure to counteract the spirit contained within Demon Beast Core. The Silver Armored Dragon resisted fiercely against Ye Yang's control; its soul hidden within the Core was like a wrathful vengeful spirit unwilling to become a weapon Beast Soul.
Ye Yang held True Fire Sword in his hand, exuding an imposing aura. His Fire God Armor shimmered with a dark red glow, revealing a faint shape resembling a Dragon Soul. With a Dragon Roar, the ferocity of Silver Armored Dragon diminished significantly compared to Azure Dragon; this low-tier dragon's Fire Dragon was hardly worth mentioning!
Ye Yang was secretly delighted, not expecting that the guardian of the artifact, Dragon Soul, could be of such use. With this, the refining process of the Silver Armored Dragon's Core would be greatly accelerated!
Three full days passed.
In the secret chamber, heat surged, and all the furniture in the room had turned to Ashes. The process of refining the Silver Armored Dragon Core had turned the chamber into a scene of devastation. The soil on the walls had even been burned into red bricks. Not only inside the room but even outside it seemed as if a great fire had erupted; the trees in the courtyard had all withered, and no one dared to approach from near or far.
"Ha!"
Ye Yang finally opened his eyes. His clear gaze sparkled with divine light, but his True Qi was nearly depleted, leaving him feeling like a dried-up lake, unable to muster much strength.
Fortunately, the Demon Beast Core had finally been refined. At the same time, Ye Yang felt an elevation in his realm. Indeed, after refining the Silver Armored Dragon Core, Ye Yang had reached the Starry Sky First Level Peak, just one step away from Starry Sky Level Two!
The mold chosen by Yun Xiaoxi was in the Cosmic Bag. After taking it out and looking at the Divine Dragon Cauldron, he discovered that after completing the refining process, there was only a small amount of Dragonstone left, enough to forge a long sword. This could be considered a blessing for Yun Xiaoxi. Moreover, Ye Yang had only absorbed half of the Core's spiritual energy; the remaining half had completely merged into the Divine Weapon.
After refining for an entire morning, when Ye Yang cooled down the long sword, the mold shattered, revealing a radiant Sharp Sword before him. A faint Dragon Qi lingered around it, and its Edge exuded a chill; even snowflakes floated around the Blade. Indeed, this was a rare Divine Weapon!
