In the Fifth Jianmu World, all the Golden Immortal-level and above powerhouses Xiao Fei had gathered were assembled.
This included the strongest, Xuan Tian Dao Zun and Shi Xue, along with numerous Golden Immortals. Even Huang Feifei, who had been at home taking care of their child, came holding Xiao Houzi.
Xiao Fei had summoned everyone for the refinement of a Dao artifact.
He used a mature Extreme Dao Sacred Bamboo, along with various rare materials obtained from Emperor Gui Yi.
Notably, he acquired a large quantity of the Innate Golden Mother, renowned as the sharpest material in existence.
Thus, this time, they would use the hardest Extreme Dao Sacred Bamboo combined with the sharpest Innate Golden Mother to forge a Dao artifact of immense power.
However, the sheer fortitude of these two materials was so immense that even with Xiao Fei's nine avatars working together, they could not succeed in refining it.
Previously, when Xiao Fei refined artifacts, he only needed to use the Gathering and Scattering Law to decompose and purify materials.
But his law power was only sufficient for refining Immortal artifacts; it was powerless against materials for Dao artifacts.
He had toiled in his spatial dimension for a long time without success, eventually resorting to seeking collective wisdom.
Since he was going to ask for help, he decided to call all the powerhouses on his side so they could work together.
After everyone gathered, it still took them a full year to successfully refine this Dao artifact.
At this moment, Xuan Tian Dao Zun held an object with both hands, covered by a red silk cloth, and slowly presented it to Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei took the item, uncovered the red silk, revealing a long, dark, and lustrous spear.
"This spear is made from Extreme Dao Sacred Bamboo and Innate Golden Mother as raw materials.
It can be large or small, long or short, it can extend and retract. When small, it is the size of an embroidery needle, and when large, it can become a pillar reaching the heavens."
As Xuan Tian Dao Zun explained, Xiao Fei gripped the spear and performed several swift flourishes.
Then, he thrust it forward horizontally. The spearhead suddenly shot out like a white snake flicking its tongue, whistling through the air.
The spear instantly elongated to hundreds of feet, firmly embedding itself into the side of a mountain ahead.
"Boom!"
The entire mountain peak instantly exploded into scattered pieces.
After the strike, the spearhead retracted instantly, without the slightest sign of wear.
"Good spear!"
"Good spear!"
Although this spear was also a Dao artifact, in terms of practical application, it was unlike other Dao artifacts that could only be wielded through distant Great Dao divine abilities.
The spear could not only be used for ranged attacks but also as a close-combat weapon, demonstrating unparalleled power that no one could resist.
Xiao Fei retracted the spear, and it transformed into the size of an embroidery needle, which he absorbed into his body for further refinement.
In fact, he had already been subtly refining it for some time; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to use it immediately.
Xiao Houzi, sitting on Huang Feifei's shoulder, showed no surprise at this spectacle.
Instead, he was so delighted that he danced with joy.
"Dad! Can I play with this stick?"
"How can a child play with such a dangerous thing!"
Xiao Fei slapped away Xiao Houzi's outstretched hand.
"Thank you all, fellow Daoists, for your assistance!"
"Venerable Dao Zun! Daoist Shi Xue, I have a few matters I wish to ask you both about."
After Xiao Fei dismissed the other Golden Immortals, he kept only the two supreme powerhouses.
"I've been wanting to try and break through to the Supreme realm recently. You are both experienced in this, so I hope you can impart some of your wisdom."
"Alas! It's embarrassing to say, but my own breakthrough to the Supreme realm was rather muddled. My experience offers no useful guidance."
Xuan Tian Dao Zun spoke of his own process of breaking through to the Supreme realm, feeling a bit ashamed even now.
"I was trapped in the Golden Immortal realm for over a million years and could never break through. Until one time when I went exploring outside..."
Xuan Tian Dao Zun shared his entire experience of breaking through to the Supreme realm with Xiao Fei, leaving nothing out.
"You see, my experience is unrepeatable. This path is not viable."
It turned out that Xuan Tian Dao Zun had found a primordial lotus that was born at the beginning of creation, called the Chaos Divine Lotus.
This was somewhat similar to Xiao Fei's gourd seedling back then.
After consuming this primordial lotus root, Xuan Tian Dao Zun successfully broke through to the Supreme realm.
The remaining lotus platform was inedible, so he refined it into the seven-colored lotus platform he now held.
It seemed Xuan Tian Dao Zun's method of advancement was temporarily unreplicable.
Xiao Fei then turned his gaze to Shi Xue.
Shi Xue was perceptive. Before Xiao Fei could even ask, he spoke proactively.
"My method of advancement was different. I broke through by devouring and absorbing the Great Dao of the Three Suns Demon Venerable."
Shi Xue's method was even more difficult. Where would one find a Supreme powerhouse to devour and absorb?
However, this did remind Xiao Fei. Perhaps the Super Great Dao Fruit on his crystal tree might be effective.
"Furthermore, when the Three Suns Demon Venerable was alive, he created a method that might allow one to break through to the Supreme realm."
Shi Xue then went on to tell Xiao Fei about the actions of the Three Suns Demon Venerable and his son.
"It's a pity that the Three Suns Demon Venerable and his son are both dead, so we can't confirm its effectiveness now."
