“Artifact Refining Journal,” page three.

In a magnificent and splendid bedroom, the ancestor of artifact refining, Han Li, was flipping through his journal, vigorously writing new entries in his artifact refining diary.

Preface: There were many ancient treasures of great fame, but only a few were well-known, among which three were extremely renowned: first the Demon Girl Whip, second the Fairy Sword, and third the Devil Sword.

Day one of refining the ultimate treasure: With the situation as perilous as a stack of eggs, Han Li felt a deep inadequacy in his strength, so he went out seeking aid, hoping to encounter great fortune.

One day, Han Li burst into an ancient ruin and saw a Devil Sword hanging high in the firmament, its blade piercing through the Nine Heavens, dividing yin and yang, spanning across ancient and modern times.

Delighted by the find, he immediately approached, intending to take down the Devil Sword and refine it to enhance his own strength.

But ultimate treasures all have spirits, and the Devil Sword was no exception. Within it dwelled a demon spirit controlling the artifact, and as Han Li drew near, it awakened the dormant Devil Sword, whose blade’s intent could annihilate limitless universes, with a formidable might.

Han Li had no choice, for the sake of increasing his strength, he had to act resolutely. He condensed his True Yuan into beams and gradually approached the ultimate treasure, the Devil Sword, attempting to penetrate its core and imprint it with his mark, thereby gaining control over it.

The demon spirit was furious, a mere cultivator, skilled in artifact refining though he may be, the Devil Sword was not his to control. Thus, the sword put up a fierce resistance, its light overflowing, causing all worlds to tremble.

Seeing that the Devil Sword, full of demonic nature, refused to be dominated, Han Li became angry as well. He directly clashed with the Devil Sword using his physical body, for he was an ancestor skilled in body refining, having refined countless magical treasures, and all of them had to submit to him. He did not believe that he could not tame this Devil Sword.

The battle between the ancestor and the spirit of the Devil Sword was fierce, lasting a day and a night. Han Li suffered some minor losses, getting beaten until he was bloody and his head wounded.

But the ancestor laughed; no matter how much the Devil Sword resisted, relying on his powerful physical body, he subdued the sword. He forcefully injected his True Yuan into the treasure’s core. Even though it was erased by the demon spirit, it was at least a good start.

Summary: The Devil Sword is an extremely ferocious object, and the ancestor has a slight advantage, having gained preliminary control over the fierce object.

Day two of refining the ultimate treasure: Yesterday, Han Li was expelled from the ruins by the spirit of the Devil Sword. Today, having recovered to his peak, he re-entered the ruins in a renewed state to fight against the Devil Sword.

Although the Devil Sword is an ancient and notorious evil object with extreme might, who is Han Li? Known as the “Ancestor of Artifact Refining,” any ultimate treasure that catches his eye ends up being refined by him without exception.

Though the Devil Sword is fierce, Han Li gave no quarter; with a powerful body capable of suppressing the heavens, subduing a mere demon spirit was a simple task, wasn’t it?

However, Han Li was kind-hearted and did not plan to overpower it forcefully. He had ample patience to slowly confront the Devil Sword, knowing that one day he would subdue it. When the spirit of the Devil Sword submitted to him, that would be the day he gained control over it.

Time and again, Han Li gathered his True Yuan into beams, repeatedly sending them deep into the core of the Devil Sword, touching its deepest reaches, the very place to leave his mark. Success in imprinting his mark would make the ultimate treasure his.

Unconsciously, the Ancestor of Artifact Refining battled the Devil Sword for yet another day and night; the sword was too fierce, even making Han Li feel tired physically.

Luckily, he achieved good results; through his relentless efforts and fierce battles with the demon spirit, while momentarily suppressing it, he poured his True Yuan unrestrainedly, purifying the Devil Sword, attempting to leave his imprint in its core.

Unfortunately, the Devil Sword was too evil, its might too strong; with a shift of its blade light, it almost caused infinite worlds to crumble. Frightened, Han Li almost withdrew most of his True Yuan. A destruction of that scale would be a great loss, and it would take a long time to recover.

Undeterred, Han Li went in and out several times, eventually refining a part of the Devil Sword, but the demon spirit still refused to acknowledge him as master, expelling Han Li once again.

Summary: The great path is about to be achieved.

Day three of refining the ultimate treasure: After recovering to his peak, Han Li charged into the ruins once more, engaging in yet another intense battle with the Devil Sword.

Having already made good progress the day before, Han Li planned to strike while the iron was hot, to subdue the Devil Sword and thus avoid nightly troubles. Battling the Devil Sword day after day was taxing, even for an invincible body like his.

That day, perhaps thanks to the partial mark left the previous day, the resistance of the demon spirit had weakened a lot. Han Li unleashed his divine might, suppressing the Devil Sword over ten thousand times, infusing it with countless True Yuan.

The Devil Sword was nearly burst by Han Li’s True Yuan, and it cried out for Han Li to stop, to hold off, to spare its life, claiming it was dying…

The ancestor, with eyes as sharp as a burning torch, saw through the demon spirit’s ruse right away. It was attempting to make Han Li relax his guard in order to reassert itself and subdue him in return. But Han Li wouldn’t fall for it, and with great force, he continued the beating until the demon spirit lost its spirit.

After prolonged combat, the shouts of the demon spirit grew weaker; whether it was about to be extinguished or had become accustomed to the ancestor’s power and no longer dared to resist fiercely, it knew it had nothing to gain from a direct confrontation with him.

After battling for a day, when Han Li began to feel a bit of fatigue, he went all out, pouring all of his remaining True Yuan into it, filling the core of the ultimate treasure and successfully leaving a great number of his marks.

The demon spirit had been subdued by Han Li, lacking the strength to resist Han Li’s refinement of its Devil Sword body. This allowed Han Li to triumph again, effortlessly infusing True Yuan from various angles and positions into the Devil Sword, feeling considerably smooth.
