The eagle eyed him sidelong, suggesting bad luck?

"Bad luck? Then change a set to play! There's more than just one set of laser cooling and atomic trapping systems! GOGOGO! Beat him, beat him, beat him!"

The eagle sighed, flapped its wings, stretched its legs, and loaded ammunition.

Alright, then, let's GO, after all, eight trips back and forth isn't too bad...

"Whoosh—BONG!"

The eagle dropped the bomb! The eagle hit the target! The eagle made a run!

"...Truly an unprecedented method, so this is the Outer Heaven Demon Formation..."

Tian Gang watched with interest as Chen Xuantian and the eagle busied themselves flying back and forth overhead, yet he did not intervene to stop them.

After all, during a tribulation and match of magic, it's only natural for each to display their divine skills; intervening with a mere look would make it dull. There's no harm in seeing what tricks they can pull.

Besides, who can say what's more serious or less yet.

The Primordial Spirit, ultimately, is the Left Dao.

Forging the sword is the true path.

Tian Gang stood with his hands behind his back beside the Sword Furnace, unconcerned about the sunrise and sunset over Nine Yin Mountain, or about the comings and goings of the eagle and Xuantian,

he only watched the Sword Sect's various peak Sword Masters and elders busily scurrying back and forth like a revolving lantern, retrieving the Heavenly Materials Treasures stored for years by Cloud Platform Peak, continuously enhancing the sword within the furnace.

He merely guided the child within the furnace, practicing Qi Refining, occasionally flashing Divine Light within rolling whites and scarlet pupils, casting a sword seal, silently and unseen, replacing the prohibition talisman controlling the sword boy's Divine Soul.

After all, this Dao Body was prepared for himself, naturally requiring undivided attention to ensure no defects or omissions, leaving nothing to chance. How could he allow anyone to ruin it with a Secret Talisman or spell?

Meanwhile, the gou dan within the furnace no longer howled and struggled, but quietly studied the Sword Scripture. Under Tian Gang's guidance, over and over again, practicing the true teachings from the sect leader, the Sword Sect Nine Luminaries True Scripture.

In this personal tutoring setting, watching Gou Dan's cultivation progress, Tian Gang couldn't help but nod.

"Good, your sword embryo is formed, and the Ruyi Sword Scripture, the general outline of our Sword Sect, has been passed on to you. With five hundred more years of grinding work honing the blade, the Divine Weapon can naturally be unsheathed.

You possess such rare talent and comprehension, truly a rare sword seed, and your life this time is even better. Through arduous trial, poverty, and setbacks, severed fates, and broken ties, only with this utterly fierce and dangerous life chart can you achieve the firmest and sharpest Daoist Heart.

The Heaven bestows great responsibility on these individuals, and they must endure trials of will and physical toil. Since you have come this far today, this thorny path you persistently tread, this unyielding loner will surely see the journey through.

It's a pity that with the current Sword Sect's method of sword casting, we can only enhance you to the sword power of Divinity Transformation, unable to truly forge the Child Sword. However, this method of Golden Body reshaping and sword casting ascension actually existed long before our Mystic Sect, from the Ancients' times of the Ancient Immortal Palace and Taigu demons. The evolution and devouring techniques of the Demon Clan, the Immortal Palace's Nine Tripods Refining Pill Method, and today's Sword Sect's Sword Casting Golden Body path have been passed down through the ages."

Tian Gang caressed the Sword Furnace,

"This Sword Furnace was the treasure used by Emperor Wu to recast the Imperial Divine Weapon and mold the Great General's divinity. I infiltrated Shanglin Garden back then, expending great effort to finally secure this treasure. Thus now, we're able to gather Cloud Platform Peak, Shangfang Furnace, and Qianzhou's strength to enhance you to One Luminous Perfection.

But if you wish to achieve Nine Luminaries Unification, reaching Lord Yuan's realm of the past, you would at least need to gather all nine cauldrons of the Immortal Palace. Yet upon reaching such a realm, I can teach you nothing more; you'll need to blaze your own trail, and the Taixu Dao people will likely scheme against you at every step.

Hmph, this is your own tribulation, and I can no longer assist you. However, extensive parts of Immortal Venerable's and Demon Clan's legacies have also fallen into Divine Lord's hands, so you must venture to the Divine Sect's headquarters, where you might find the key to breaking through this path and discover the ascent to Outer Heaven.

Sadly, our Sword Sect's ancestor, Lord Yuan, was ambushed by Thunder Ancestor, and many Heavenly Book Secret Techniques were not passed on, all seized by those at Hu Temple walking the Taixu Dao...

Enough, these grudges are old stories, unclear even if told at length. You need only know, under no circumstances can you allow Cloud Platform Peak to fall into their hands, or it will surely be used to remake the Void.

Paths that diverge cannot be strategized together; the Void is a dead end through and through. If you take the wrong step, from there onward, there'll likely be no chance to escape the Taiji Realm again..."

"Old Tian Gang! Come and meet your demise!"

Tian Gang paused, furrowing his brow as he calculated,

"Are they prepared already, are they really this formidable? The crooked West-spell method, truly terrifying beyond measure...

Enough, Gou Dan, I have passed my sword completely to you. The chance to defy fate and destiny has also been given to you.

If ultimately you cannot acquire my Sword Transmission, then my seat cannot be blamed for claiming your sheath.

However, if you truly manage to forge this sword...

Hehe, then, should I and he swap, what difference does it make?"

With that, Tian Gang flicked his sleeve, turned around, took a step out of the Sword Casting Furnace, and stepped into the blood-red sky.

Heaven and earth, Heaven and Earth Net, blood-light and scarlet curtain, covering the sky like a dome.

Tian Gang stood within the array, looking around in all directions, seeing six blood curtains rise, like bloody human-skin clothes, also seeing at head and feet two rings of scarlet light flashing like two blood-red eyes blinking.

This extremely ferocious, peerless stance, astonishing heaven and earth, moves even spirits and ghosts, even the Nine Yin Daoist Lord can't help but praise.

"What magic is this?"

Chen Xuantian stood within the blood curtain, spreading his arms like an eagle, flashed them, and struck a one-legged gold rooster pose,

"YCM Grand Method! Against the Primordial Spirit Magnetic Light Trap Great Array!"

The eagle struck a pose too, "Screech—!!"

Tian Gang looked at the eagle,

"Earlier, I wanted to ask, your fish, it can shatter the void, traverse cycles of reincarnation, roam the universe, even my Nine Yin Mountain Formation can't do anything about it... could it be Kunpeng?"
