Chapter 1505 : Forgging the Heaven-Splitting Supreme Treasure

Among the 2, Lyra's artifact forging skills had barely reached the upper eighth rank, while the Forgeflame Deity's craftsmanship was nearly on par with Eldrin's.

With the combined efforts of all 3, the probability of refining this treasure was no less than 60 to 70 percent.

With the additional external aid Eldrin had prepared—a vial of "Primordial Unity Divine Water" that could increase the success rate of artifact refinement—Eldrin believed it was time to attempt refining this External Elixir.

Having steeled his resolve, Eldrin declared, "Once the treasure is forged, I shall undoubtedly offer a generous reward to the Divine Lord."

Li Yan Shenjun, however, shook his head and remarked with an impassive expression, "I am but a solitary soul, for whom common worldly possessions hold no value."

“I require no payment. I only hope that when I break through to the Great Unity Realm, you will spare no effort in safeguarding my ascension.”

Eldrin exchanged a glance with Lyra, then smiled faintly. "Since the Divine Sovereign is so generous, I shall certainly prove worthy of your magnanimity."

With those words spoken, the 3 soon arrived at the forging chamber and began crafting the External Elixir. This time, Eldrin (Person Name) took the lead in the process, with the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) and Lyra (Person Name) assisting him.

Thus, 3 master Artificers (Cultivation Profession), harnessing the supreme blessed land's fire vein, spent 3 1000 years before finally managing to smelt the Primordial Netherdrake Pearl (Magic Treasure).

But at that moment, Eldrin noticed that the origin energy of the Primordial Netherdragon Pearl had depleted considerably. He immediately set aside the supplementary material, the Taiyi True Water, using it to replenish the Primordial Netherdragon's origin while purifying the impurities within.

Thus, as time flowed on, another 3 1000 years were expended before the Primordial Dragon Pearl was returned to its origin. It was imbued with the power of rule-based array patterns and transformed into the purest vessel embryo.

Hah

Seeing this, Eldrin let out a slight sigh of relief.

After carving the array patterns and refining the vessel frame, the True Dragon External Elixir was already more than half-forged.

Its core had been constructed, and now all that remained was to continuously integrate various materials to enhance the energy storage capacity of this External Elixir until it reached its absolute limit and fully took form.

Thus time flowed on, and another 3 1000 years had passed before this External Elixir was finally refined to completion. "It is done."

Watching the External Elixir take form, Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly.

He refined this External Elixir and immediately drew it into his dantian to assimilate.

Seeing this, the Flame Severing Lord couldn't help but smile faintly. "This External Elixir bears a single Primordial Unity Dao Mark, containing spiritual energy comparable to 3 Earth Immortals at the peak of the sixth heaven."

"With the aid of this artifact, though your cultivation may not rival that of a Half-Step Celestial Immortal, the disparity should be negligible."

Eldrin also nodded, a faint smile gracing his features.

According to his estimation, a Perfected Immortal at the Great Perfection stage would likely exhaust all their spiritual power after just 1 strike with a Primordial Immortal Artifact.

With the aid of this External Elixir, Eldrin could likely unleash the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss up to 4 times if operating at his peak strength.

The Myriad Tribulations Sword of the Great Primordial Thunder Abyss was truly earth-shattering. Were it to unleash its full power, it would be sufficient to severely injure—or even slay—a Half-Step Celestial Immortal in a single strike.

With 3 consecutive full-power sword strikes, he dared not claim they could threaten an existence with dual Taiyi foundations, but they were more than sufficient to deal with a Half-Step Celestial Immortal possessing only a single Taiyi foundation.

If the timing was right, there was a certain possibility of slaying it.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "Thanks to your assistance today, fellow practitioner."

"You're welcome." The Eldrin Spirit shook her head, a faint smile gracing her lips. "Forging this Heaven-Splitting Artifact has been an immensely rewarding experience for me as well."

Eldrin (Person Name) nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

This time, the 3 of them jointly forged a Heaven-Splitting Supreme Treasure. Though it bore only a single primordial vein, the endeavor profoundly elevated their mastery of artifact crafting.

In particular, Eldrin (Person Name), as the chief supervisor of artifact forging, had achieved a monumental breakthrough in his craft of artifact refinement.

I wouldn't dare claim to have reached the pinnacle of the eighth rank, but I've already crossed the threshold with more than half my being.

Once his cultivation advanced further and broke through to the seventh level of Earth Immortal realm, his artifact forging artistry would completely ascend to the pinnacle of eighth rank.

In any case, with the assistance of the Heaven-Splitting Supreme Treasure External Elixir, Eldrin's journey through the microcosmic universe was bound to proceed somewhat more smoothly.

With this thought in mind, he prepared to leave the artifact refinement chamber.

However, before parting, the Flame Divinity of Departure glanced at him and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are in such a hurry to refine an External Elixir—is it to set foot into the Minor Universe?"

Eldrin’s heart stirred at these words, and he instinctively exchanged a glance with Lyra.

After a momentary exchange of glances, Lyra (Person Name) said with a smile, "Not at all. This time, we have other matters that require us to urgently refine this External Elixir."

The Flame-Severing Deity was momentarily taken aback before sighing regretfully, "I intend to traverse a minor cosmos, striving to seize an opportunity before the Heavenly Dao Tribulation descends."

"I had thought we could journey together this time and support 1 another along the way."

Seeing this, Eldrin exchanged another glance with Lyra, then said with a faint smile, "So that's how it is. What a pity our current cultivation is insufficient—venturing into the microcosm would still be far too perilous for us."

"Yes."

The Divine Spirit of Liyan nodded, then spoke, "Beings like us, who hold the potential to ascend to Celestial Immortality, are viewed as thorns in the eyes of the major grotto-heavens and Quasi-Celestial Immortals."

"Once we step into the microcosm, we'll not only face the powerful beings within, but must also guard against those from the Celestial Realm."

Lyra nodded slightly, a faint smile gracing her lips. "With your cultivation level, even a Taiyi Realm expert would struggle to keep you restrained. Venturing into the minor cosmos would pose far fewer risks for you than it would for any of us."

"Alas, were it not for the impending Dao Calamity, I might not have taken such a risk."

The Flame-Severing Deity shook his head and ultimately said nothing more before departing from the artifact-forging chamber.

After she had departed, Lyra spoke up, "She seems like a trustworthy person. If we weren’t heading through the Netherworld Microcosm, we might have journeyed with her."

Eldrin also gave a slight nod and said, "The matter of the Netherworld Pocket Dimension is of grave importance. We cannot allow others to know of it."

"Given the current circumstances, among the powerful figures we know, only Glazed Divine Lord (Cultivation Title) and Master Zixuan (Cultivation Title) can be completely trusted."

At this point, Eldrin spoke up: "I shall make a trip to the Glazed Paradise and the Violet Mystery Paradise to inform both parties of the situation, hoping to discuss matters with them."

Lyra nodded, then spoke, "Only 10 1000 years remain until the opening of the Minor Universe. Make haste and return swiftly."

"Hmm."

Eldrin departed from the Return to the Abyss Blessed Land and hastened toward the Glazed Blessed Land.

Within the Glazed Paradise, Eldrin encountered the Glazed Divine Lord. Upon seeing him, the Divine Lord could not help but remark, "You have come to seek me out this time—is it regarding the matter of the Minor Universe?"

"Indeed."

Eldrin nodded without the slightest hesitation and said, "We took this path because we discovered a shortcut."

He recounted the events in detail, explaining the entire ordeal of the Netherworld Microcosm to the Glazed Divine Lord.
