Waking up.

Li Mu was full of spirit, and the headache from the day before had vanished completely.

After preparing breakfast and feeding the Red Wolf, Li Mu continued to focus on the character panel to enhance his cultivation techniques.

Due to the lack of enough Tier One Spirit Swords, the Basic Chapter of the Twelve Chapters of the Profound Celestial Sword Array had not been inscribed on the character panel, preventing the addition of free skill points.

Li Mu turned his attention to the Quenching God Technique. Increasing the level of this Refining God Technique has the most apparent effect on strength, aiding not only in battles but also in daily life and production by boosting divine sense.

[Ding, you consumed a free skill point, Quenching God Technique proficiency +1.]

…

[Ding, you consumed a free skill point, Quenching God Technique proficiency +1. Quenching God Technique level increased to: Level 5, your Divine Soul quality improved, divine sense range increased by: +1000 feet, you comprehended the derived skill from divine sense: Divine Sense Whip.]

Consumed 10,000 free skill points to elevate Quenching God Technique to Level 5.

With a bang, Li Mu's Divine Soul trembled, feeling as if his entire soul had been sublimated. Simultaneously, a skill inflicting damage on divine sense was instinctively comprehended, able to materialize the Power of Divine Sense into a long whip to attack the opponent's divine sense.

Li Mu joyfully unleashed his divine sense, doubling its perception range, capable of covering most of Little Liang Mountain.

Upon this joy, Li Mu continued to elevate other cultivation techniques.

[Ding, you consumed a free skill point, Cyan Wood Technique proficiency +1.]

…

[Ding, you consumed a free skill point, Cyan Wood Technique proficiency +1, Cyan Wood Technique level increased to: Level 5, your cultivation partially increased, your Wood Element Spirit Root was partially enhanced, and you comprehended the Wood Element Minor Divine Technique: Wood Escape.]

[Ding, you consumed a free skill point, Profound Water Technique proficiency +1.]

…

[Ding, you consumed a free skill point, Profound Water Technique proficiency +1, Profound Water Technique level increased to: Level 5, your cultivation partially increased, your Water Element Spirit Root was partially enhanced, and you comprehended the Water Element Minor Divine Technique: Water Escape.]

…

[Ding, your Five Elements Technique has reached the Minor Success Realm, talent improved, Five Elements Mixed Spirit Roots upgraded to Five Elements Lower Spirit Root, your cultivation greatly improved, and you broke through to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer.]

A strong spiritual pressure erupted from Li Mu, spending 50,000 free skill points to elevate Cyan Wood Technique, Profound Water Technique, Thick Earth Techniques, Fire Manipulation Technique, and Gilded Gold Technique to Level 5, gaining unexpected rewards.

Upon reaching the Fifth Level Minor Achievement for each technique, a Minor Divine Technique - Escape Technique was obtained. Unimaginably, his Spirit Root Talent also improved, upgrading from Five Elements Mixed Spirit Roots to Five Elements Lower-Grade Spirit Root, and his cultivation advanced by one layer.

Li Mu's heart surged with an urge to raise all five techniques to full level, but the free skill points were too few, nowhere near enough.

Suppressing this urge, Li Mu used the remaining free skill points to continue enhancing other cultivation techniques.

[Ding, you consumed a free skill point, Sword Control Technique proficiency +1.]

…

[Ding, you consumed a free skill point, Sword Control Technique proficiency +1, Sword Control Technique level increased to: Level 5, your Sword Control ability improved, Flying Sword Control Power increased: +1000. You comprehended the Sword Control Minor Divine Technique: Sword Control Thought.]

Consuming 10,000 free attribute points, Li Mu then raised the Sword Control Technique to Level 5, immediately comprehending Sword Control Thought. This divine power skill allowed him to attach divine sense to the Spirit Sword, granting the Flying Sword a greater control range.

With a wave of his hand, Li Mu took out a Tier One Top-Grade Golden Sword, infusing it with divine thought and controlled the Spirit Sword to fly out.

Under Li Mu's divine sense perception, the Tier One Top-Grade Golden Sword within an instant flew out beyond the range of Little Liang Mountain.

However, Li Mu soon sensed the Spirit Sword's lack of sufficient spiritual power, unable to support its flight over such distances.

Li Mu hurriedly maneuvered the Flying Sword to return.

A Tier One Spirit Sword was ultimately too low-tier; only high-tier Spirit Swords were suitable for using this special Sword Control Divine Technique.

Once successful in refining five or six-tier Spirit Swords in the future, using the Sword Control Thought capability to behead an enemy a thousand miles away would not be a problem at all.

"Great, great! This divine power is fantastic!"

Li Mu joyfully stored the Spirit Sword in the storage compartment, heading to the Artifact Refining Room to prepare the crafting of seven Spirit Swords for learning the Seven-Star Sword Array, enabling the Basic Chapter of the Twelve Chapters of the Profound Celestial Sword Array to be registered on the character panel.

In the Artifact Refining Room, after more than a month, the Tier Two Flame Sun Refining Furnace was activated again, the Flame Sun Spirit Fire quickly nurtured by the Flame Sun Array inside the furnace.

Li Mu opened a storage bag filled with Spirit Ore, extracting all Tier One Profound Iron Ore and Tier One Red Essence Iron.

Under Li Mu's divine sense manipulation, blocks of Profound Iron Ore and Red Essence Iron floated and autonomously entered the Flame Sun Refining Furnace, quickly liquefying into a large mass of metal under the high-temperature Flame Sun Spirit Fire.

Through Li Mu's divine sense manipulation, the liquefied Profound Iron and Red Essence Iron quickly melted, impurities automatically stripping away, as if a mysterious hand controlled them, dividing them equally into seven metallic liquids, gradually stretching and transforming into seven liquid sword shapes each three feet long, ...

The level 5 Quenching God Technique rendered Li Mu's divine sense extremely powerful, allowing easy manipulation of the artifact embryo using divine sense, simultaneously refining seven Spirit Swords.

As time trickled by, each Profound Iron Sword Embryo swiftly solidified into shape.

With one hand gripping the iron clamp and the other a Spirit Hammer, Li Mu clamped down a sword embryo, placing it on the forging table to be hammered and forged.

After dozens of hammerings and forging, Li Mu concentrated spiritual power in his palm, beginning to merge artifact patterns into the artifact embryo.

Upon reaching Level 5 in the Artifact Refining Technique, Li Mu had become an Artifact Refining Master with every move filled with confidence.

First Artifact Pattern: Solid, Second Artifact Pattern: Spirit Taming, Third Artifact Pattern: Sharp, Fourth Artifact Pattern: Sword Qi. Li Mu pushed through with vigor, imbuing the Profound Iron Sword with four artifact patterns to the rank of a Tier One Top-Grade Spirit Sword.

Hesitating for a moment, Li Mu proceeded to lift the Spirit Hammer again, injecting spiritual power into the Profound Iron Sword to imbue the fifth artifact pattern: Starlight.

The level 5 Artifact Refining Technique bestowed Li Mu with a wealth of artifact refining experience and knowledge, expanding his mastery from the original eighteen foundational artifact patterns to 124 ones, encompassing both fundamental and special patterns.

Starlight was an artifact pattern closely linked with starlight. With this pattern, the Spirit Sword could better align with the Seven-Star Sword Array.

With a crisp "ding," the Profound Iron Sword suddenly shone brightly, the sword body humming as if celebrating its rebirth.

It's done!

Using Tier One refining materials, imbuing five artifact patterns, and crafting it into a Tier Two Lower Grade Profound Iron Sword.

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief; the level 5 Artifact Refining Technique endowed him with tremendous artifact refining ability, allowing him to fully exploit the Profound Iron Sword's material limits, successfully refining a Tier Two Lower Grade Spirit Sword, a world apart from his previous refining experience.

After succeeding in refining the first Tier Two Profound Iron Sword, Li Mu still needed to refine six more Tier Two Spirit Swords with the same attributes and tier to assemble the Seven-Star Sword Array.

With a Spirit Hammer in hand, Li Mu continued to inscribe artifact patterns onto the next Profound Iron Sword.

The clinking of hammer blows and the humming of swords filled the Artifact Refining Room, akin to a symphony of celestial music, bustling with activity.
