Chapter 325: Is Daoist Li Xun Really About to Become a Saint?
Beneath the Flaming Feather Lake—
Li Xun sat cross-legged above the sea of fire, like a fire god descending into the world. Flames coiled around his robes, hair, and skin, tempering his entire body until it was flawless and free of impurities.
His fingers moved rapidly, and beams of divine light flew out from his storage ring.
Each beam represented a heavenly treasure. The lowest grade among them was at the Saint level, and some even contained rare immortal materials such as Dao Source Immortal Metal.
"Cry—!"
A phoenix’s cry rang out.
Li Xun took out a small jar, within which flowed a crimson-gold radiance. It was as if a divine phoenix were awakening inside, carrying the aura of ancient sages—this was Huang Xi’s essence blood.
Since he intended to upgrade the Azure Dragon Halberd, he naturally used whatever materials were best.
As a member of the Divine Phoenix Clan, Huang Xi’s essence blood was something that others could only dream of obtaining. Li Xun had conveniently borrowed some.
"Hopefully I don’t end up turning the Azure Dragon Halberd into a Phoenix Halberd..."
Li Xun muttered.
He did not possess true dragon blood. If just these few drops of phoenix blood completely altered the nature of the weapon, it would be rather ironic.
Buzz!
In the next moment, a powerful fluctuation spread out. A black halberd, over three meters long, appeared above the sea of fire. It was as if the eternal heavens had collapsed, crushing the void itself.
"When the Azure Dragon Halberd is successfully refined, it will also mark the moment I step into Sainthood!"
Li Xun’s eyes burned with determination.
He had already reached this point—there was no need to delay any further. Otherwise, anyone would think they could step on him, like Xiao Chen of the Xiao Clan...
Buzz!
Symbols flew out from Li Xun’s palm one after another, embedding themselves into the body of the Azure Dragon Halberd. The dark and profound weapon trembled, releasing terrifying waves that swept across a hundred-mile radius.
The various divine materials floating in midair were also guided by Li Xun, continuously merging into the halberd.
For a time, endless divine radiance erupted from the depths of Flaming Feather Lake.
...
Outside—
Jiang Yunzong and the others stood before the gate, their expressions solemn.
"Sixth Elder, I heard that Daoist Li Xun plans to refine a Dao Weapon of his own this time?" One of the Jiang Clan elders asked through voice transmission.
He glanced at Huang Xi nearby. Originally, he had intended to ask Jiang Yunzong directly, but considering her strength and status, he ultimately chose to communicate privately.
After all, discussing Li Xun casually in front of her—even about harmless matters—required caution, lest they unknowingly offend a supreme Saint King-level expert.
The "Sixth Elder" he referred to was none other than Jiang Yunzong.
"A Dao Weapon?"
Jiang Yunzong’s expression turned somewhat strange. After a soft chuckle, he replied via transmission:
"What Daoist Li Xun intends to refine is not a Dao Weapon. The Azure Dragon Halberd in his possession is already a Supreme-Grade Dao Weapon."
"What he is refining this time is... a Sacred Weapon—"
"—prototype!"
At the mention of "Sacred Weapon," the surrounding Jiang Clan elders all revealed looks of shock. But upon hearing the word "prototype," they relaxed slightly.
Even so, they were still deeply shaken.
How old was Li Xun?
From the information they had gathered, he had not been cultivating for long—far younger than the Jiang Clan’s young master.
Yet this very young junior had already begun refining the prototype of a Sacred Weapon.
What did that signify?
It meant that Li Xun had already started preparing for his ascension into Sainthood!
"I heard from the ancestor yesterday that Daoist Li Xun has already reached the peak of the Divine Palace Realm!" The elder who had spoken earlier said solemnly.
Yesterday, including Jiang Yunzong, none of them could see through Li Xun’s true strength.
This wasn’t because Li Xun deliberately concealed it, but because they were on the same level.
In fact, Li Xun’s foundation was even deeper, so it was only natural that they couldn’t perceive it.
However, such concealment could not escape the eyes of a Saint.
"The peak of the Divine Palace Realm... refining a Sacred Weapon prototype..." freewebnovёl.ƈom
Jiang Yunzong’s body trembled slightly as a terrifying possibility came to mind. He murmured:
"Could it be that Daoist Li Xun plans to use this weapon refinement process to directly break through into the Saint Realm?"
"It’s possible."
The other elders exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
Though they found it hard to believe, the facts were right in front of them.
From the peak of the Divine Palace Realm to the Saint Realm, there was only a single step.
For some, that step might never be crossed in their entire lifetime.
But for others, the reason they haven’t crossed it is simply because they choose not to. If they wished, they could undergo the Saint Tribulation at any time.
’It seems we need to evacuate the nearby Jiang Clan disciples.’ Jiang Yunzong thought to himself.
The Saint Tribulation was no ordinary heavenly calamity. Once it appeared, it could cover a radius of tens of thousands of miles—a vast area where many cultivators wouldn’t even have time to react before being engulfed by it.
...
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, half a year went by.
Jiang Yunzong and the others, along with Huang Xi, remained stationed outside the gate of Flaming Feather Lake, not taking a single step away, quietly waiting for Li Xun’s return.
"It’s already been half a year. Why is there still no movement?" An elder spoke, his brows filled with confusion.
Under normal circumstances, half a year was more than enough to refine a Treasure.
Even for a Sacred Weapon, it should have been completed long ago—perhaps even a Sacred King Weapon would be nearly finished by now.
Unless...
The heavenly materials Li Xun used were extraordinarily rare, making them difficult to refine in a short time.
"Let’s keep waiting. Half a year, to us, is but the blink of an eye."
Jiang Yunzong said calmly to reassure them.
Before his words had even settled—
Boom!
Suddenly, from the white jade gate not far away, a radiance split between pitch black and crimson burst forth, illuminating all directions. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The sky itself seemed to be divided in two.
A brilliance imbued with Saintly might spread outward like flowing mercury.
"Saintly aura—retreat!"
Jiang Yunzong’s expression changed instantly. With a loud shout, he rapidly flew backward.
"Is Daoist Li Xun really about to become a Saint?!"
Everyone present wore expressions of utter disbelief.
Although they had already speculated as much, witnessing it actually happening before their eyes was still hard to accept.
All those present were high-ranking members of the Jiang Clan, each having cultivated for thousands of years.
Yet none of them had even sensed their own opportunity to become a Saint.
Meanwhile, Li Xun—a younger prodigy who had cultivated for less than a hundred years—was already about to undergo the tribulation.
The blow to them was simply too great.
"Needing less than a hundred years to reach Sainthood... How many in history have achieved such a feat? Even those with the Heavenly Dao Physique or the Chaos Body might not surpass this." Someone exclaimed in awe.
