Chapter 1103 : Forging the Celestial Pearl Treasures
Having decided to forge the treasures, Eldrin Chen immediately set to work.
The three pearls were all rare Upper Grade Immortal Artifact [the highest tier of immortal-grade artifacts], making them the finest materials for immortal artifact forging. However, refining them into High-Grade Immortal Treasure [a powerful class of immortal treasures] would require exceptionally advanced forging techniques.
Eldrin Chen's current mastery of the Artifact Forging Art [the esoteric method for crafting magical artifacts] had already reached the Upper Grade Immortal Rank [a pinnacle level within immortal-grade arts]. Yet, the task of refining all three pearls into High-Grade Immortal Treasure remained a formidable challenge.
Understanding the difficulty ahead, Eldrin Chen began a series of meticulous mental simulations, repeatedly deducing the optimal forging method before even lighting the furnace.
However, after several rounds of deduction, a trace of hesitation gradually surfaced on Eldrin Chen's face.
His continuous simulations revealed that with his current skill, he had a significant chance of successfully forging them into individual High-Grade Immortal Treasure. Yet, he found himself utterly without a clue on how to refine the three into a unified set of Formation Artifact [magical treasures designed to work in concert, amplifying their power through synergy].
While three separate High-Grade Immortal Treasure were valuable, they fell far short of his original vision: a single, cohesive set of auxiliary Immortal Treasure [a general term for artifacts of immortal grade].
"The Solar, Lunar, and Stellar Pearls are born from immortal clams absorbing the radiant essences of the Sun and Moon and Stellar [pertaining to the stars and celestial bodies] light," he mused.
"Their fundamental natures differ, yet they share a profound, ineffable connection."
"To truly forge them into a unified set of Immortal Treasure, I must first deduce a set of primordial formation patterns, then derive three distinct immortal-grade patterns tailored to each pearl's nature." For uninterrupted reading, go to audio‑novel.com.
"Thus, by employing identical Primordial Formation Runes, the three immortal pearls can be forged into a single set of Formation Artifact."
Eldrin Chen murmured softly, his thoughts gradually crystallizing as he entered seclusion to continuously deduce the Primordial Formation Runes.
An unknowable length of time passed before Eldrin Chen completed his deductions on the Primordial Formation Runes and proceeded to inscribe them into the Solar, Lunar, and Stellar Pearls.
With this step accomplished, the three treasures had become nascent Immortal Treasure embryos. All that remained was to fuse them with Five Elements Essence [a refined spiritual essence containing the power of the five elements] and further evolve the Primordial Formation Runes to complete their forging into true Immortal Treasure.
However, Eldrin Chen did not rush to begin the fusion. He emerged from his Seclusion Chamber holding the three Immortal Treasure embryos and ascended directly to the peak of Green Chariot Mountain.
"Husband, what is this…?"
Seeing Eldrin Chen emerge from seclusion, Exquisite Jiang could not help but show a trace of puzzlement.
Eldrin Chen shook his head slightly. Arriving at the mountain peak with the three treasures, he began channeling a steady stream of Immortal Essence [the purified energy of an immortal] into them, activating the formation runes within. Only then did he speak:
"The Solar, Lunar, and Stellar Pearls are all born from absorbing the quintessential essences of the Nine Heavens Stellar [the celestial bodies of the highest heavens] and the Sun and Moon. If they were forged using the Five Elements Essence [a refined spiritual essence containing the power of the five elements] found within the mundane world, they would inevitably be tainted by its impurities."
"The true path is to allow them to absorb the essence of the Sun and Moon and the Stellar [pertaining to stars and celestial bodies] power, allowing their formation runes to evolve naturally."
As Eldrin Chen's words fell, the three Sun and Moon and Stellar [the light of the stars] Orbs erupted with dazzling radiance, beginning to draw upon and pull the Sun and Moon and Stellar [the light of the stars] radiance from the Nine Heavens Above [the highest celestial realms].
The boundless light of the Sun and Moon and Stellar [the light of the stars], drawn by this irresistible force, began to pour ceaselessly into the three orbs, where it started to weave and evolve intricate arrays and patterns.
Viewed from across the entire Crimson Dragon Sea, nearly half of the sea's Sun and Moon and Stellar [the light of the stars] was being siphoned away, converging upon the three orbs hovering above Green Chariot Mountain.
Such a spectacular phenomenon naturally stirred the Immortal [powerful cultivators who have transcended mortality] of every clan within the Crimson Dragon Sea.
On the nearest Purple Feather Immortal Island, the two Immortal [powerful cultivators who have transcended mortality] known as Violet Flame Heavenly Feather opened their eyes and drew a deep breath. "I always knew," one of them murmured, "that Returning Abyss Path Master was no ordinary fish in a pond."
Upon Six Stars Immortal Island, Six Stars Immortal gazed toward the land where the stellar radiance gathered, thoughtfully stroking his beard. "With an omen of such magnitude," he pondered aloud, "what kind of supreme treasure is my kinsman about to forge?"
Within the territory of the Divine Spirit Clan, Violet Radiance Divine Spirit, clad in majestic violet robes, cast his Divine Spirits [beings of immense spiritual power, akin to deities] gaze toward the Cosmic Stellar Archipelago. For the first time, a trace of solemn gravity appeared in his eyes.
Deep within the Immortal Source Ore Vein, Crimson Dragon Child looked up at the sky where the stellar light descended, a cold glint flashing in his pupils.
He remained silent for a long, long while. Finally, he turned to face the depths of the Immortal Source Ore Vein. "When will you be able to recover?" he asked.
From within the ore vein, only profound silence answered him.
Should anyone step within, they would see that within the vein, only a single, shattered suit of crimson-gold armor floated and sank, ceaselessly drawing upon the vast, surging Immortal Source [the primordial, life-giving energy that forms the foundation of the world] energy.
"..."
Time flowed like a river, and in the blink of an eye, many years had passed.
On this day, atop the peak of Green Chariot Mountain, under a hazy moonlight and a sky ablaze with stars, three dazzling beams of light suddenly erupted.
Upon the mountain, the Solar, Lunar, and Stellar Pearls [a set of three divine orbs representing the Sun, Moon, and Stars] had finally succeeded in their refinement on this very day, having continuously drawn upon the stellar power of the Nine Heavens [the nine celestial realms or layers of heaven].
"Finally, success." This chapter is provided by (audio-novel.com). Support the original.
Eldrin Chen stood upon the mountain peak, gazing at the three radiant treasures above the Heavenly Vault [the celestial dome or firmament], a faint smile gracing his lips.
Among the three orbs, the Sun God Pearl resembled a golden sun, emanating a domineering, hazy radiance.
That light cascaded across heaven and earth, continuously tempering Eldrin Chen's physical body. To his astonishment, he could feel his Immortal Body [a cultivator's body refined to an immortal, nigh-indestructible state] slowly growing stronger.
The Moon Goddess Pearl was like a pure, bright moon, shedding a soft, silvery lunar light. It possessed the wondrous ability to nourish and enhance one's Immortal Essence [the refined, immortal-grade spiritual energy within a cultivator's body].
Bathed in the moonlight, Eldrin Chen felt the subtle yet distinct advancement of his Immortal Essence [the foundational energy cultivated by immortals].
The Stellar Pearl [a magical orb that channels stellar energies], however, appeared dim and obscure, yet within its depths, countless points of starlight shimmered. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if an entire galaxy was swirling inside.
This pearl drew upon the Power of the Nine Heavens Stellar [the celestial energy emanating from the highest heavens], transforming it into a ceaseless cascade of countless starlight beams.
After absorbing and refining this starlight, Eldrin Chen discovered that within his Primordial Spirit Immortal Embryo [the nascent spiritual form of an immortal cultivator], impurities were being cleansed from his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator]. His soul power had also grown significantly.
"The light of the Sun and Moon [the celestial bodies representing solar and lunar essence] and the Stellar [pertaining to stars and constellations] is truly a wondrous treasure," he remarked.
"It can actually increase the cultivation speed of our physical bodies, souls, and Immortal Essence by a full eighty percent," Exquisite Jiang added, having also tried drawing upon the Sun and Moon and Stellar light, her voice filled with admiration.
Eldrin Chen merely smiled, his expression calm as he stated, "That is not all."
As his words fell, he immediately activated a series of hand seals. The Solar, Lunar, and Stellar Pearls [a set of three magical orbs representing the sun, moon, and stars] began to rotate in a complex, interweaving dance.
In an instant, the Sun God Pearl and the Moon Goddess Pearl transformed, becoming the Sun and Moon themselves, suspended and undulating within the Heavenly Vault [the dome of the sky, the firmament]. The Stellar Pearl dissolved, scattering into a vast, starry river that filled the heavens.
The formation patterns of the three Solar, Lunar, and Stellar Pearls began to interweave, their Sun and MoonStellar light converging and fusing into a single, resplendent beam of Stellar Glazed Celestial Radiance [a celestial light born from the fusion of solar, lunar, and stellar energies].
That Stellar Glazed Celestial Radiance was breathtakingly magnificent. It ultimately enveloped the summit of Green Chariot Mountain for ten thousand Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] in all directions, forming a vast Stellar Glazed Boundary [a defensive barrier woven from solidified starlight].
"This is..."
As the Stellar Glazed Celestial Radiance bathed heaven and earth, even Verdant Consort was startled from her seclusion.
Emerging from her cultivation chamber, she gazed at the stunningly beautiful starry light barrier filling the sky and could not help but cover her lips with a hand. "What is this?"
"When the Solar, Lunar, and Stellar Pearls combine into a single Formation Artifact [a set of magical treasures designed to work together as a formation's core], they can draw in the Sun and MoonStellar light from nearly half of the Crimson Dragon Sea, fusing it into this Stellar Glazed Celestial Radiance,"
"The resulting barrier is called the Stellar Glazed Boundary."
Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a faint smile touching his lips.
This Stellar Glazed Celestial Radiance was not only breathtakingly beautiful, but it also possessed the combined effects of all three stellar lights, amplified several times over their original potency.
Eldrin Chen sensed intuitively that within this Stellar Glazed Boundary, his cultivation speed for his physical body, his Immortal Essence [the refined energy core of an immortal], and his Immortal Embryo [the nascent immortal form within a cultivator] would all increase by more than threefold.
