The Immortal Palace’s young lord, whose body Xu Qing had taken over, had already been suspended on the Thunder Punishment Cliff for seven days.
There were six hours left before he would be released.
In the last six hours, the aura of the lightning was even stronger than usual. As rumbling sounds echoed, even those outside the Thunder Punishment Cliff could hear it clearly.
This vast lightning seemed to be telling everyone the authority of the Thunder Punishment Cliff.
However, the figure amidst the lightning, though appearing battered, was now, in these final six hours, being subtly nourished by the vast heavenly lightning, which contained a deeply hidden energy of rejuvenation.
It was exactly as they said: all thunder and no rain.

The vast display of lightning was merely a performance for outsiders, while in reality, the dazzling strikes of lightning were secretly nourishing his body, his soul, soothing the toll of the seven-day punishment.
Outsiders didn’t know about this but in the host’s memories that Xu Qing absorbed, it had always been like this.
Regardless of the punishment, the one carrying it out would, in the final moments, quietly lend a helping hand, unwilling to let the young lord truly suffer in body and soul.
After all, he was the only son of the Aurora Immortal Lord.
‘Overindulgent father raises spoiled son!’
Zhong Chi glanced upward quickly, his face showing a pained expression, but inside he was sneering.
The hidden truth behind this situation might be unknown to others, but there was no way he was unaware of it.
Nonetheless, he maintained his outwardly concerned demeanor, calling out with a pained voice,
“Young Lord, hang in there, only six hours left!”
“That Heaven’s Chosen Li is already at the arena, waiting for you!”
His voice was filled with emotions.
Xu Qing couldn’t help but open his eyes and look at Zhong Chi.
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
He hadn’t noticed before, but Li Mengtu actually had some talent for acting.
Now, with this expression and words, if he hadn’t already known the other’s true identity, it would be difficult to suspect anything at first glance.
Noticing Xu Qing’s gaze, Zhong Chi’s performance became even more exaggerated, as if he were trying to compete for attention with the thunder.
But clearly, he was no match.
The thunder roared louder and louder, its momentum growing more terrifying, filling the sky and earth around the Thunder Punishment Cliff. The dazzling light made the area seem like a pool of lightning.
The rumbling sounds echoed continuously.
Not only in this place but also at the Sword Furnace located in the northern part of the Immortal Palace.
To the north of the palace stood a furnace.
It was massive like a cauldron, with flames surging inside, resembling the stampede of ten thousand beasts. The intense glow from the fire illuminated the entire area.
Even the air seemed to be ignited.
On the surface of the furnace, runes flowed, glowing brightly amidst the crackling of the flames. It was as though ancient incantations were being chanted.
Each rune contained the mysteries and powers of the heavens and earth.
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
This was the furnace of heaven and earth that Aurora Immortal Lord had forged by refining 100,000 small worlds.
Capable of refining all things, it could transform useless into miracles.
At this moment, it stood in a transcendent stance, harnessing the fire of the heavens and earth to continuously smelt various rare metal-based heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Some of these materials turned into wisps of smoke, while others melted into liquid, and with each transformation, waves of spiritual energy surged through the air.
In the fiery blaze intertwined with spiritual energy, a sharp and formidable power was being nurtured.
That was the sword embryo!
Over the ages, ten immortal swords had been birthed from this furnace, each becoming a weapon wielded by the Aurora Immortal Lord, famed throughout the star ring.
According to the Immortal Lord’s plan, he needed twelve swords in total to form a sword array.
Now, the final two swords were taking shape.
It was for this reason that the thunderstorm had arrived, exploding upon the sword furnace, fusing the power of lightning into the process to assist in forging the swords.
At that moment, as the lightning surged in, as the flames of heaven and earth burned and as the heavenly materials and earthly treasures melted, two sword embryos could be vaguely seen being forged in the sword furnace.
Their auras continued to rise and their sharpness was also constantly tempered.
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
For these two sword embryos, this process was like transforming from a cocoon into a butterfly, like a carp leaping through the dragon gate.
For the two external souls who resided within these sword embryos, it was also an unprecedented great fortune!
Qianjun and Piyi were from the Sword Immortal Sect in the Northern Starfield. The fourth realm identities they had painstakingly obtained in the third realm were these two swords!
This was related to their own Dao.
They were each born with an innate sword body, carrying a sword within them from birth. In this furnace, they experienced the process of the immortal swords’ forging. It was as though they were also being forged, and the benefits were huge.
Hence, staying in these two sword embryos was the best path.
However, the two immortal swords they now embodied were still incomplete. According to this timeline, the swords would fully form in a month—but before they could emerge, the impending disaster that would destroy the entire Aurora Immortal Palace would claim the swords as well.
Hence, they had no masters in their lives.
These ownerless swords that hadn’t been born had no karma, which was perfect for Qianjun and Piyi.
The two were extremely satisfied with their identities and full of anticipation about the benefits they would obtain.
No matter how others outside chose their paths, laid the groundwork for their own opportunities, or sought out their fortunes, the chance before Qianjun and Piyi was right in front of them
There was no need to fight or compete; they could simply cultivate here in peace, being nurtured and refined.
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
Even if unexpected visitors arrived, they were completely unconcerned, as their opportunity did not interfere with the paths of other stars.
Just like at this moment… amidst the refinement of lightning and fire, a calm voice rang out from outside the sword furnace.
“Not only can this furnace refine swords, but it can also refine one’s mind.”
“Therefore, the Dao of forging the sword is, in fact, the way of cultivating the mind.”
The voice echoed in the furnace, stirring the spirits of Qianjun and Piyi, prompting their consciousness to extend outward.
Outside the sword furnace stood a tall and upright young man, resembling a green pine, with a calm expression as he spoke softly.
