"Heavenly Nether Beast?"

Xiao Yifeng asked in surprise.

"The Heavenly Nether Beast is a legendary Divine Beast, never seen by anyone. According to ancient records, this beast is hundreds of feet tall and can destroy the heavens with a wave of its hand, wielding extraordinary divine skills—truly terrifying."

Master Tiangang spoke solemnly.

"Senior, do you know about the Heavenly Nether Beast?"

Xiao Yifeng asked.

"I’ve heard of it. It’s said that the Heavenly Nether God is mysterious and terrifying, allegedly from an external world. It appeared once in antiquity and hasn’t been seen since. Unexpectedly, a Heavenly Nether Beast’s Beast Soul is sealed within this sword!"

Long Qian sighed.

"An external world, could it be the Divine Realm?"

Xiao Yifeng wondered, intrigued.

"This sword was crafted by an Artifact Refiner who reached the Half-Step Samsara Realm. It’s unknown how he found the Beast Soul of the Heavenly Nether Beast and sealed it within, creating this Heavenly Nether Divine Sword."

"As a result, this Heavenly Nether Divine Sword contains the presence of the Heavenly Nether Beast, with terrifying power. Once the Beast Soul is unsealed, the sword will be even more formidable, enough to rival the top three Divine Weapons on the Artifact Ranking."

Master Tiangang explained, then continued, "However, due to the Beast Soul of the Heavenly Nether Beast, it is difficult for others to control it, though the Beast Soul is sealed."

"Yet it has already merged with the sword, equivalent to the sword’s Artifact Spirit. The majestic nature of the Heavenly Nether Beast would never allow itself to be controlled by others."

"Even a Supreme Dominator or Titular Dominator would struggle to control it. Since the birth of this Heavenly Nether Divine Sword, no one has truly mastered it and become its master."

"I found it in a hidden place, but I don’t favor using swords, so I’ve kept it in a ring until now. Seeing you as someone extraordinary, perhaps you have the opportunity to master it."

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the Heavenly Nether Divine Sword, nodding, "Thank you, Master Tiangang!"

Xiao Yifeng then reached out to grip the sword’s handle, instantly feeling a surge of power trying to shake off his hand.

"Humph!"

Xiao Yifeng snorted coldly, unleashing the full strength of his Starforce to suppress the power, firmly holding it. Although he didn’t refine or master it, it was indeed a fine sword.

"Have Jian Yun try it and see if he can control it!"

Xiao Yifeng thought to himself. After all, Jian Yun was using a Superior Grade Imperial Artifact-level Kunlun Sword from the Kunlun Palace in the Kunlun Realm.

Clearly, with Jian Yun’s current strength, using that sword was no longer suitable. If he could master this sword, his combat power would naturally increase.

After storing the sword, Xiao Yifeng followed Master Tiangang and Little Si out to the courtyard where Tianyan and Heavenly Tiger, Master Tiangang’s disciples, were waiting.

"Master!"

The two greeted respectfully.

"You two stay here, take good care of Little Si, I’m going out for a while!"

Master Tiangang addressed them calmly, and they glanced at Xiao Yifeng before nodding.

"Grandpa, I want to go too. I haven’t been out much!"

Little Si spoke eagerly.

"No, Little Si, you stay here and don’t go out randomly. I’m going to refine a Divine Weapon and won’t have time to look after you. They can take care of you!"

Master Tiangang responded.

"Please, Grandpa, let me go out. I haven’t been out much, and besides, I’m grown up; I can take care of myself!"

Little Si begged, tugging at Master Tiangang’s arm.

"Master Tiangang, why not let Little Si join us; I’ll take good care of her!"

Xiao Yifeng suggested.

"No way!"

At this moment, Tianyan and Heavenly Tiger stared at Xiao Yifeng, speaking in unison, showing slight hostility in their eyes.

Seeing their look, Xiao Yifeng chuckled softly, knowing both had feelings for Little Si, hence the hostility towards Xiao Yifeng offering to look after her.

"Why not? I believe Brother Xiao can take good care of me, Grandpa please agree!"

Little Si urged.

"Fine, you can come along. You two stay here and guard the house well, no mistakes, or else you’ll face the consequences!"

Master Tiangang instructed, emphasizing his words. Though reluctant, they dared not defy Master Tiangang and nodded.

Xiao Yifeng, Master Tiangang, and his granddaughter Little Si then proceeded together to the Artifact Refiner Association headquarters.

"Master Tiangang, long time no see!"

Seeing him, Dong Pengfei, the president of the Artifact Refiner Association, displayed joy and great respect in his tone.

"Enough chatter, prepare the refining materials, let’s upgrade this brother’s weapon to a Superior Grade Divine Weapon!"

Master Tiangang stated bluntly.

Dong Pengfei chuckled lightly, eyeing Xiao Yifeng, who handed over Purple Luo Stone, Purple Ore, and Emperor’s Blade Feng Xiao.

"Upgrading an Emperor’s Artifact to a Superior Grade Divine Weapon is harder than creating one from scratch, honestly, I’ve never done it before. Master Tiangang, how confident are you?"

Dong Pengfei asked Master Tiangang.

"It’s just a Superior Grade Divine Weapon; with this boy’s Art of Refining and Refining Techniques, one or even ten Superior Grade Divine Weapons are no problem!"

Master Tiangang replied sternly.

"Looks like you’ve greatly advanced over the years, Master Tiangang. The gap between us is growing wider."

Dong Pengfei sighed bitterly.

"While this Divine Weapon is being crafted, stay within the Artifact Refiner Association, don’t wander off, understand Little Si?"

Master Tiangang advised Little Si.

"Grandpa, I want to go explore!"

Little Si spoke pitifully.

"This..."

Master Tiangang frowned slightly.

"It’s fine, Master, I’ll take Little Si out and about, no worries!"

Xiao Yifeng said with a smile.

"Indeed, in the Holy City, who would dare harm Little Si?"

Dong Pengfei agreed.

"Alright then!"

Master Tiangang nodded.

"Yay, thanks Grandpa, you’re the best; I knew you care for me the most!"

Little Si cheered, giving Master Tiangang a peck on the cheek.

"Alright, off you go, we need to start preparing for weapon refining!"

Master Tiangang smiled gently at his granddaughter.

Xiao Yifeng promptly took Little Si outside.

"You still keep Little Si under strict watch, worried she’ll encounter trouble!"

Dong Pengfei commented lightly.

"Little Si isn’t ordinary; she absolutely cannot be harmed!"

Master Tiangang expressed gravely.

Meanwhile, Little Si, walking down the Holy City streets, was delighted, radiating cheerfulness and innocence, like a carefree little fairy.
