Chapter 28

The Blood Sea was naturally in turmoil, but Ding Yue could no longer feel it.

Looking at the dozen or so weak怨蛛 (grievance spiders) in the jade bowl, Ding Yue directly picked them out one by one, performed a secret technique, and placed restrictions inside the spiders to control them.

After doing this, Ding Yue meditated for several years. When the Blood Sea had returned to normal, he quietly sneaked back to its vicinity. Ding Yue dug a cave underground and released the already subdued spiders.

These grievance spiders feed on grievance, wronged souls, and yin energy, and they can produce a black spider silk. This spider silk is as thick as an arm and is formed from the condensed grievance, wronged souls, and yin energy they consume. It has extremely strong stickiness and yin energy, making it an excellent material for evil Daoist magical treasures.

Tongtian Jiaozhu (the Grand Master of the Thorough Heaven) was a learned and impartial teacher, who taught both orthodox and evil Daoist methods. Among the disciples of the截教 (Jie Sect), many practiced the cultivation of evil magical treasures and evil techniques!

Ding Yue's goal was this spider silk, which had significant characteristics.

Although Ding Yue had never refined evil Daoist magical treasures or practiced evil techniques before, he had studied them to some extent.

Ding Yue was one of the most versatile among the disciples of the three sects. While he was most skilled in array formations, his knowledge of alchemy and treasure refinement also ranked high among the disciples of the three sects!

When the Three Pure Ones were not yet separated, Ding Yue listened carefully to their teachings every time. Later, although he did not have the opportunity to listen to the teachings of the Original Celestial Venerable and Laojun, he often discussed Dao with Xuantu Dafashi, Yunzhongzi, and other disciples of the two sects.

Xuantu Dafashi, being the only disciple of Laojun, had unsurpassed alchemical skills!

Yunzhongzi, on the other hand, was the most enthusiastic about refining magical treasures in the Chuanjiao Sect, having received the true teachings of the Venerable. He could even replicate the innate treasures of later generations, showing his profound skills!

Because of these experiences, although Ding Yue's cultivation was in the upper-middle range among the many disciples, he was considered well-versed and talented!

After releasing over a dozen grievance spiders, they returned lively after a few days. Ding Yue made them spit out the spider silk in their bodies until they were so weak that they even had some grievance. Ding Yue collected the spider silk and then let the spiders go to feed again!

Thus, these spiders became machines for Ding Yue to collect spider silk, being thoroughly exploited by him!

Refining this spider silk was a laborious task. Ding Yue, now a Chaos Immortal Body, had his innate fire transformed into Chaos Immortal Fire, which was extremely powerful.

With Ding Yue's cultivation and innate true fire, it took him three to four months to refine a single strand of spider silk into a jet-black, hair-like strand. He then had to imprint several magical seals on the spider silk.

Fortunately, the spiders produced spider silk at a slow rate, often taking a year to form a clump of spider silk in their bodies!

This left Ding Yue with nothing to do after refining the spider silk.

For safety, to be on the safe side, Ding Yue decided to speed up the process and secretly caught a few stray grievance spiders, accelerating the production of spider silk!

After three hundred years, the number of grievance spiders controlled by Ding Yue reached nearly a hundred, and the refined spider silk piled up like a mountain, with even more unrefined spider silk!

Feeling that he had enough spider silk, Ding Yue released the grievance spiders, which were filled with grievance, and they flew away.

Ding Yue returned to Wuyi Mountain and summoned his clone, his mount, the leisurely and elegant Longxu Beast, and the Heavenly Immortal-level golden bear leader.

Together, they refined the spider silk. Although the Longxu Beast and the golden bear were much slower, they were still much faster than Ding Yue alone.

Another two hundred years passed before all the spider silk was refined.

After dismissing the exhausted Longxu Beast and golden bear, Ding Yue and his clone remained in the secret chamber to begin refining the magical treasure!

Ding Yue had already deduced the method of refinement. First, he refined the spider silk with some yin materials he had prepared, imprinting magical seals to turn the spider silk into a light green color.

Next, he refined some yin materials and extracted the yin energy and grievance from the Blood Sea.

This grievance was as black as ink, which Ding Yue condensed into a liquid with great power, mixing it with the yin materials to form a black, yin-filled liquid.

He soaked the spider silk in the liquid until it turned black again. Then, Ding Yue wove the spider silk into triangular flags, each side equal, about ten feet long.

Using all the spider silk, Ding Yue wove eighty-one black flags, more than he had expected.

After preparing the flag surfaces, Ding Yue began refining the flag poles, using his Green Dome Divine Wood, an upper-grade spirit root. He only used the heart of the tree, as thick as a bucket, which he refined with his True Heart Fire, imprinting magical seals to create flag poles three zhang long, strong and heavy, each weighing three thousand catties!

He then refined the flag poles and flag surfaces into a single entity, imprinting magical seals on the flags. Even with Ding Yue and his clone being Golden Immortals, their magical power was insufficient, forcing them to interrupt and recover multiple times.

By the time Ding Yue left the secret chamber, over a thousand three hundred years had passed.

In total, this refinement process took Ding Yue nearly two thousand years!

However, Ding Yue was not without gains. After refining, his skills in treasure refinement and array formations greatly improved, and his Daoist cultivation also increased significantly.

But two thousand years was worth it for Ding Yue. At the Golden Immortal level, each increase in cultivation required a long time. Two thousand years was very short for a Golden Immortal!

He entrusted the flags to his clone for daily nurturing and then went to Jinqiao Island.

Upon arriving at Jinqiao Island, Ding Yue learned that the Grand Master had stopped teaching several hundred years ago, instructing the disciples to stay indoors and meditate. The Grand Master himself had secluded himself, only allowing the four major disciples to see him and serve him, while other disciples could not visit without being summoned!

After discussing Dao with many fellow disciples on the island, Ding Yue did not want to stay on Jinqiao Island for long and returned to the South Sea after a hundred years.

In the South Sea, Ding Yue secluded himself to cultivate and comprehend the spiritual treasures. Except for meeting Ao Lan, he did not see anyone else.

Speaking of which, Ding Yue had no other friends in the South Sea besides Ao Lan!

Time passed swiftly, and three thousand years flew by!

In these three thousand years, Ding Yue's cultivation naturally reached the peak of the initial stage of the Golden Immortal level. His magical techniques and secret arts had greatly advanced, and he had thoroughly comprehended his own spiritual treasures, significantly increasing their power!

One day, Ding Yue was discussing Dao with Ao Lan.

Speaking of Ao Lan, she could be considered Ding Yue's confidante. She was now at the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal level, with great magical powers!

After ten thousand years of friendship, it was impossible for Ding Yue to be solely devoted to the Dao. Since arriving in the Primordial World, Ding Yue had always felt a sense of crisis and had been diligently improving his cultivation to survive.

After joining the Thorough Heaven Grand Master's sect, Ding Yue's mindset had changed. As a disciple of a Sage, he would not be involved in the war between the witches and the demons as long as he was careful. Even if he died in the future divine battle, his status would ensure him a highly respected divine position!

Moreover, Ding Yue now possessed great virtue and was well-known among humans. Whether he would die in the divine battle was uncertain!

Wasn't Yunzhongzi known as the Virtuous Golden Immortal and had avoided the divine battle?

After ten thousand years of friendship with Ao Lan, it was impossible for Ding Yue to have no feelings for her. Initially, he had no time to think about it, but after his mind relaxed, each time he faced Ao Lan, he felt a stirring in his heart!

It wasn't that Ding Yue was overreaching; Ao Lan's status as a dragon maiden was no pressure for him.

Ding Yue could also sense some of Ao Lan's feelings.

Love grows with time, right? Who says immortals can't fall in love!

The only thing Ding Yue was concerned about was that the dragon clan was not a peaceful place, and the causes and effects in the future were countless and far-reaching.

Although it seemed suspicious now, it still made Ding Yue cautious!

Moreover, Ding Yue's thoughts about his two pure senior sisters and his cold and beautiful junior sister were not entirely pure.

In the end, although Ding Yue was a Golden Immortal-level powerhouse, his heart was still that of a mortal from the future!

Ding Yue and Ao Lan chatted and laughed, his mind filled with the dating tips and techniques from the future, making his thoughts somewhat dirty.

"What are you looking at?" Ao Lan, seeing Ding Yue staring at her blankly, couldn't help but feel embarrassed and blushed, scolding him.

"Ah?" Ding Yue was startled, feeling his own awkwardness, but somewhat embarrassed.

But his face had been trained in the past, so although his heart was trembling, he still said calmly, "I noticed that you look even better recently, more beautiful."

"You~~" Ao Lan blushed deeply, glaring at Ding Yue, unable to speak.

The girls in the Primordial World were so innocent! Ding Yue secretly smiled, quickly picking up a teacup and said, "Come, have some tea. I'll give some to your father later. The ones I gave you before are probably gone by now."

"Humph~" Ao Lan glared at Ding Yue, taking a big sip of tea, her expression of gritting her teeth making Ding Yue feel very pleased.

At this moment, a golden-armored soldier came flying over, respectfully saying, "Immortal, someone is here to pay respects, it's your senior sister and junior sister!"

Ding Yue was startled, almost dropping the teacup. His mind raced, and he felt guilty, as he had just been fantasizing about them.

"I'll go welcome my senior sister and junior sister, please wait a moment!" Ding Yue said calmly to Ao Lan, but he was troubled inside.

He had never encountered such a situation in the past, what should he do?

(Thank you, Jiachun, for the support, thank you!)
