The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

The Celestial Demon Slaying Immortal Sword is indeed decent, but it is a mere Earth Tier replica of the demon saint’s sword crafted during the Celestial Evil Period, essentially a failed product.

Moreover, it possesses a demon attribute and does not match Chu Xuan, a human cultivator’s magical nature. Honestly, its commemorative significance outweighs its practical combat value.

Although Chu Xuan is not a cultivator specializing in ice and snow techniques, the magical power cultivated through the "Jade Capital Secrets" approaches the concept of "Tai Chi" among the innate Five Supreme elements, embracing various aspects. Progressing further, it can differentiate into Yin-Yang, or regress into primordial chaos.

Therefore, as long as the artifact does not possess extreme demon or Buddhist attributes, he can unleash its full potential.

The sword "Cyan Mountain Bearing Snow" has a blade as pure white as snow, feeling extremely cold when held in hand.

The inscription "Thirty Smelts" signifies that the sword underwent thirty cycles of repeated smelting and folding, reaching the material’s inherent limit.

Chu Xuan spent a few days preparing to refine it and discovered two divine techniques within it; one is [Cyan Sky Snow Fall], the other [Thousand-Mile Ice Seal].

The former technique can unleash a sky full of ice and snow, with each flake being a sharp sword qi; the latter, as its name suggests, can seal a thousand miles with a single sword stroke.

These two divine techniques hadn’t been seen used by the beauty’s head, and Chu Xuan even suspected she might not know how to refine artifacts.

After experimenting a bit with this flying sword, Chu Xuan was satisfied and stored it away.

Then, Chu Xuan calmed his mind and began reflecting on the blade intent witnessed on the ancient battlefield...

Fortunately, with the combat memories from the Celestial Evil Period aiding him, Chu Xuan gained understanding within just half a year, realizing a blade technique known as:

"Ten Thousand Furnaces of Desolate Flames Extinguish, Crimson Infiltrates Blood Bloom Fetid."

His eyes slightly opened, and a blood-hued brilliance briefly flashed through his gaze, with a beautiful beam of blood light flickering across the air, instantly extinguishing the array in his dwelling.

If it weren’t for his control over the power, this retreat stone chamber might have been sliced in two.

This is a "Heart Consciousness Blade," somewhat similar to Qin Mengyao’s serendipitously obtained "Celestial Immortal Outside the Heavenly Skies" sword technique, which typical methods cannot counter.

However, this blade is even more decisive, not only cutting through a person’s soul but also their body, Dao base, and vitality; the stronger the wielder’s mind, the more formidable the blade intent and technique become.

Moreover, Chu Xuan faintly sensed that the blade’s power can be significantly amplified by the Blood God Set.

The problem is... does this set of treasures comparable to an Immortal Artifact still exist in this world?

Was it taken to the Immortal Realm by Profound Silence True Monarch, left within the treasury of the Shangguan family, or perhaps completely destroyed, anyway it’s not within the Six Souls Banner.

In any case, this ultimate blade technique is very potent, although Chu Xuan rapidly mastered "Blood God Blade Intent" using past memories, it is still immature and requires more practice in the future.

Finally, there are two forms of spirit fires, one Yin and one Yang.

Chu Xuan placed two jade boxes in front of him, released their seals, allowing Nine Nether Cold Fire and Great Bright Flame to emerge with intense spirituality.

Especially the latter, which transformed into a dragon-shaped fire essence, spewing a golden flame at Chu Xuan upon emergence.

Chu Xuan easily deflected it with a sweep of his sleeve, capturing the white and gold spirit fires with both hands simultaneously, unable to escape despite their struggles.

"Come now, don’t be so fierce, okay?"

Chu Xuan brought the fires close to his mouth and inhaled them into his stomach.

If an ordinary cultivator dared to do this, they’d surely face death; just moments out, the entire stone chamber was already half frozen over and half scorching hot.

Even body refinement cultivators would never attempt such a suicidal act before the seventh realm.

Before acquiring the Qi of Qianming, Chu Xuan would have been considerably troubled, but once secured, it became a non-issue.

As soon as the fires entered his body, they were enveloped by a wisp of vaporous Immortal Qi, immobilized or simply too content to move.

Especially the fiery dragon, which previously flaunted its claws, now showed an enraptured expression as if immersed in the rich nourishment of innate Spiritual Qi.

Chu Xuan guided the Yin and Yang fires to the Nascent Soul ahead of him while transmitting thoughts to the fire dragon using his divine sense:

"Today, I offer you a chance of destiny; during the refining of Danfire, I won’t deliberately extinguish your spirit."

"You should strive to maintain clear spiritual awareness while Yin and Yang fires blend, or else your hard-earned consciousness may easily vanish."

"Upon success, you may dwell within me, nourished by Immortal Qi, defending me."

"In the future, upon ascension, you may regain freedom or be enlightened, joining the ranks of immortals."

The fire dragon seemed dazed by these words, whether it understood them or not; Chu Xuan painted a grand picture for it, implying he was the reincarnation of an immortal.

After all, the idea of ascending to immortality is far-reaching; if Chu Xuan perished along his cultivation path, it could attempt escape, whether successful is its own fate.

Without seeking the dragon-shaped fire essence’s approval, Chu Xuan adjusted his state, recited incantations, formed sigils, and began refining the spirit fires according to the divine spell techniques in the "Jade Capital Secrets".

"Yin Line Locks Fire Condensing Jade Hare, Yang Line Ascends Light Forging Golden Crow.

"Two Forms Transformed Perpetually, Transforming in the Jade Capital within the Dan Hub."

"..."

Under Chu Xuan’s urging, the Nascent Soul depicted a five-heart-to-heaven posture, hands crossed, embracing the midday position, condensing into a round spirit pearl-like Immortal Qi, precisely falling into its grip.
