At this stage, Lin Chang’an was enduring an inexplicable pain, after all, the Fusang Divine Tree had already connected with his mind and spirit.

Outside the barrier, the Phoenix Cry Bird shed tears of reluctance, watching helplessly as its nest melted away.

As the Fusang Divine Tree melted, the black demonic qi within it, like a bone-eating worm, showed no signs of being refined.

As time slowly passed, finally in the third month.

"It’s time to prepare for formation!"

After months of suffering, Lin Chang’an seemed to have become accustomed to this pain, or rather, it had been replaced by the joy of the imminent formation.

Only to see his hands constantly weaving seals, the two leaves of his lifebound spirit plant, the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine, began to tremble, and then a light curtain appeared.

The light curtain revealed thirty-six phantom sword shadows.

Although the sword shapes were identical on the outside, the sword bodies bore distinct intricate inscriptions internally.

"Go!"

With Lin Chang’an’s sword finger, the thirty-six sword shadows shot towards the Fusang Divine Tree like sword auras.

The Fusang Divine Tree, already liquefied, began to compress to the extreme, forming continuously within the thirty-six sword shadows.

At this moment, the array flickered with a powerful light, and the controlled earth fire erupted into a terrifying sea of fire.

With such disregard for cost, the magma below, which had been churning and bubbling with heat, mysteriously dimmed visibly to the naked eye.

Subsequently, it cooled and solidified into a dark rocky land.

This was due to the excessive extraction of fire attribute spiritual energy from the earth fire below.

Even the neighboring Red Fire Peak was affected, as the two spirit peaks had long been secretly connected into one.

The endless fire attribute spiritual energy was infused into the thirty-six sword shadows.

Another two months passed.

In the sea of fire, only the thirty-six formed treasure swords remained. At this moment, a rare smile appeared on Lin Chang’an’s tired face.

"It’s almost done!"

He had been holding on for so long, not only compressing but also inscribing the array patterns identical to those reflected on the Profound Celestial Immortal Leaf’s sword shadows onto the lifebound treasure, the flying sword.

Both the external parts and the extremely minute internal inscriptions and array patterns had to be perfectly matched.

...

While Lin Chang’an was in seclusion crafting his lifebound treasure, the outside world was far from calm.

The Five Dragons Island sea region belonged to the remote sea area that guarded the outer sea of Bihai Palace and was connected to the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea.

On this day, the sea area at the junction of Five Dragons Island and the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea suddenly underwent dramatic changes.

"What’s happening!"

"It’s not good, it’s the heavenly wind, everyone quickly take cover!"

Many cultivators passing by were in a panic, hurriedly hiding on nearby islands and starting to set up arrays.

Just as these cultivators thought they were encountering the heavenly wind, a sudden surge on the sea surface was followed by a terrifying red light emerging from the dark sea floor.

Under the terrified gaze of these cultivators, countless sea beasts and fish fled in terror, jumping out of the sea surface.

The ground trembled, and terrifying magma erupted from the seabed.

At this moment, even a tier three demon beast seemed so small and fragile in the face of this terrifying natural disaster.

This natural disaster came quickly and departed just as swiftly.

On a distant deserted island, the disheveled cultivators shouted urgently.

"Quick, raise the mana shield!"

This seawater was boiling, covered in a layer of densely boiled and broken sea beast carcasses.

Soon after, the surviving cultivators, variously in shock, stared blankly into the distance.

On seeing the aftermath of the eruption from afar, a spiritual island soaring with rainbow light rose from the sea floor.

Upon closer inspection, the spiritual island was dotted with sinister statues, seemingly emanating a terrifying and malevolent aura.

Yet, in the eyes of these surviving cultivators, they were filled with overwhelming joy.

"Haha! This is the estate of an ancient cultivator, no doubt about it! Opportunity! This is a heaven-sent opportunity."

"Charge!"

Countless greedy cultivators, blinded by their desires, frantically headed towards the spiritual island.

At this moment, they selectively ignored the numerous sinister statues on the island and paid no heed to the sea beast corpses strewn all around.

However, just as this group of cultivators reached it, a gloomy white mist suddenly emerged around the spiritual island, and all traces of life vanished.

"Escape! Quickly run!"

Amid the chaos, several injured cultivators were terrified, not regretting their injuries but instead feeling fortunate.

As the boiling seawater rapidly cooled, the vast array of demon beast carcasses eagerly attracted a swarm of greedy demon beasts from afar.

This was a rare gluttonous feast.
