In fact, the amount of metal in the grand hall was surprisingly abundant, calculated in thousands of pounds. However, due to its ancient age, most of the external layer of the Five Metals had corroded, and there wasn’t much material suitable for cultivation uses. Furthermore, the Five Metals were exceptionally sturdy. If he hadn’t advanced his Inner Breath and had the aid of the Fiend Sword, he probably wouldn’t have had the ability to organize these metal items neatly. “Mm.” The Sword Spirit was quite satisfied, “Although it’s not much, with my ‘Sword Fiend,’ it’s completely sufficient to lay down your foundation.” Hearing this, An Jing’s mind became clear, and he immediately knew what he should do at this moment.

The youth summoned the broken sword and worshipped it with the respect due to a master, “Disciple of the Gufeng An Family, An Jing, respectfully invites the Immortal Sword to impart to me the true law of the Great Dao!” “I am not your master, yet I led you into the Dao, so I shall accept this courtesy. Today, I will transmit to you the true law of Immortal Heaven to dispel your ignorance, in hopes that you will devote yourself to the Dao, subdue demons and exorcise evil, and not fail the grace of imparting the Dao and teaching.” He sincerely requested, and the Subdue Evil Sword Spirit gladly consented, explaining the essence of ‘Taibai Luminous Godly Ban’ to him in detail. ——For the Dao covers the heavens and carries the earth, it stretches in all four directions and seals the eight extremes. Taibai represents the extremity of metal, the firmness of the Dao, the purity of the Dao, it does not decay after a hundred calamities, and no object can burden it. ——Separate the pure from the turbid with Qi, nourish the Soul and Spirit above, forge the body shell below, fuse the Five Metals and condense the Earth Fiend, condense the Earth Fiend and integrate the Magic Prohibition, integrate the Magic Prohibition and strengthen the flesh, strengthen the flesh and solidify the Daoist Foundation, this is the Divine Prohibition. Indeed, the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban is an extremely high-quality Body Refinement art. Its essence is to refine the Metallic Essence of Gengjin from the Five Metals and use it to forge a Magic Prohibition within the body, akin to a magic treasure, making one’s physical body as robust as a Magic Artifact or a flying sword. Under the guidance of the Sword Spirit, An Jing silently memorized the overall principles of the cultivation technique, holding the Subdue Evil broken sword in his hand, his mind running the ‘Tranquil Sword Manual,’ guiding the pure Sword Fiend energy from the broken sword into his body, starting to prepare for the condensation of the ‘Taibai Forbidden Seed.’ “Through the Thought Preservation Technique cultivate the Spirit; through the cultivation law refine the Qi and the body; through the killing law cultivate the ability to kill, to cut through calamities. The unity of these three is the True Transmission.” While instructing, the Subdue Evil Sword Spirit said, “The Tranquil Sword Manual is the fundamental root of my lineage, possessing all sorts of divine wonders. The Taibai Divine Prohibition is also the top cultivation method. With these two techniques, you can forge a sturdy foundation, and cultivating killing martial skills will be twice as effective with half the effort.” With his Spirit settled, An Jing began his first Qi Refinement cultivation in the ancient underground ruins. Although the Sword Spirit could only provide oral guidance, its experience was profound and comprehensive. It frequently pointed out the causes of An Jing’s mistakes before they occurred, correcting them in advance. And An Jing himself possessed Innate Wisdom, being extremely intelligent and with a strong capacity to understand. With the guidance of Subdue Evil, his comprehension was swift and his cultivation proceeded incredibly smoothly. Although the Sword Spirit didn’t say it openly, it was actually quite moved in its heart. An Jing’s talent in Qi Refinement, judging by his Spirit Root alone, was only decent. In an ancient era, he could be accepted into the Sects but would struggle to receive the True Transmission. However, having been with An Jing for a long time, the Sword Spirit naturally knew that his perception and temperament were his most exceptional qualities. Even if he hadn’t encountered the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect, awakening his Fate Pattern, he would inevitably have accomplished great things. Like a hidden blade that eventually reveals itself, Great Sects would have sought methods to enhance his abilities and granted him the True Transmission. Time passed, and another half a day went by. One taught diligently, and the other studied earnestly; everything fell into place naturally. An Jing had fully grasped the essence of the Taibai Divine Prohibition, which was a method of body refinement but in essence was still a technique of Qi refinement. It didn’t require the tempering of sinews, bones, skin, or flesh, nor the hardening of the physical form. Instead, by embedding spells within the body and operating the cultivation method, he could use the evil Qi to temper his physical body from the inside out. Heavenly Gang and Earth Fiend consisted of one hundred and eight prohibitions, with each additional prohibition condensed signifying a step forward in strength. If regular body refinement proceeds from the outside in, then Taibai Divine Prohibition unfolds from the inside out. By continually condensing magic prohibitions into the body, one’s flesh could be transformed into a magic treasure, giving rise to all kinds of profound transformations. A kind of ‘Internal Clan Body Refinement Technique.’ Of course, knowing the essence was one thing, but the actual operation was another matter altogether. To cultivate this technique to achievement, besides the accumulation over time, one also needed an ample amount of ‘Metallic Essence of Gengjin’ extracted from the Five Metals. The more pure the Metallic Essence of Gengjin, the more solid the prohibitions condensed. Especially for the initial primer, the ‘Taibai Fiend Seed,’ the purer the core evil Qi, the better. The Fiend Seed extracted from ordinary metal golden Qi had no advantage over other body refinement methods and was even more cumbersome. Only the remarkable evil Qi found in special places like the Earth’s Core could offer a clear advantage. Now, An Jing did not have the conditions to seek out this pure evil Qi, and even the Five Metals collected from the great hall of Heaven’s Pavilion were merely of superior quality. But speaking of the core, he had something even purer. The Fiend Qi of the Subdue Evil broken sword. “The time has come.” The Sword Spirit of Subdue Evil said, “Take out the Spirit Jade, draw the Spirit Qi within it,” The more pure the foundation, the better, and at present, the purest was the Fiend Qi of the Subdue Evil sword and the Spirit Qi from the Spirit Jade. Under the influence of the Tranquil Sword Manual, An Jing’s spirit thoroughly delved into his inner landscape. A wisp of silver-gray fine evil Qi slowly seeped out from the broken sword, surging into his body. This wisp of energy was immensely dense, yet not muddy like soil and gravel. Instead, it resembled the extremely fine particles of polished metal, smooth and detailed, flowing like mercury. An Jing adjusted these heavy mercury-like evil Qi using a special Verse of Instruction and breathing technique, guiding it through his meridians to circulate around his whole body—this process was supposed to be excruciating, akin to lava flowing through blood vessels or mercury corroding organs. However, An Jing felt only a gentle and substantial warm current passing through his limbs to converge in his chest, abdomen, and spine, and from there entering his dantian. During this process, wisps and strands of Essence Qi emerged from his whole body, circulating with the blood. Meanwhile, three slender roots cascaded from his Divine Sea, spreading from the Purple Mansion throughout his entire body. These three roots were of ‘gold,’ ‘brown,’ and ‘green’ hues, representing An Jing’s three Spirit Roots. Brown intermingled with gold, aiding the growth of gold, while gold oppressed green, causing it to wilt somewhat. Yet this wilting green in turn suppressed the brown, allowing the golden color to shine brightly and alone. This dominant Metal Attribute Spirit Root then took charge of circulating the breath throughout An Jing’s body, drawing in the Spirit Qi from the Spirit Jade and causing golden patterns to flow. “Sword Spirit,” said the Sword Spirit at this time, “the Five Metals also have a resonance.” An Jing nodded slightly, holding the materials of the Five Metals in his hand, while simultaneously with a thought, he stirred the white-gray flame in the Divine Sea and cast it into the Spirit Root Divine Sea. Immediately, a vast amount of Five Metals Fiend Qi was absorbed into his body, and with the Five Metals Fiend serving as kindling, ignited the resonating Mysterious Primordial Fire. Smoke rose, entering his limbs and bones, bringing waves of refreshing comfort and a sense of warm nurturing. The resulting glow caused An Jing’s Soul and Spirit, physical body, and Spirit Root to shine brilliantly, emitting a bright light and a surge in the sense of Sharpness. As nature takes its course, the Spirit Root is awakened.
