Chapter 1247 : Forging the Void Jade

Silas Chen Because the material used is Heaven-Opening Marvel [a legendary substance of profound mystery], its wondrous utility will far surpass that of ordinary Supreme Grade Spatial Immortal Treasure [the highest class of spatial manipulation artifacts].

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, once this treasure advances, it will be capable of carrying Eldrin Chen through the shattering of the Void [the fabric of space itself], traversing the distance of an entire sea in an instant to arrive at the distant Void The Other Shore [a metaphorical term for a distant, unreachable place].

Although this still falls far short of a Void Gate [a stable portal for instantaneous long-distance travel], for Eldrin Chen it is a supreme life-preserving treasure.

Once it successfully ascends, even a top-tier Ancient Ancestor [a venerable and immensely powerful senior cultivator] at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] would find it no easy task to slay Eldrin Chen.

"During the previous journey to the Crimson Sun Earth Immortal Realm, I was nearly trapped within it."

"Now, as the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic, world-shaking event foretold by fate] approaches, to avoid finding myself in peril once more, I must refine the Great Void Condensed Jade [a legendary jade condensed from the essence of the primordial void]."

Eldrin Chen murmured, his expression turning grave.

This Great Void Condensed Jade is an Eighth Rank Immortal Material [a material of the eighth rank, suitable for crafting immortal artifacts], making its smelting naturally exceedingly difficult, and it also places extremely high demands on one's Artificing Art [the esoteric art of crafting magical treasures].

With Eldrin Chen's current level of Mana [the refined spiritual energy used by cultivators] and mastery of Immortal Essence [the purified, higher-order energy of an immortal], even spending ten thousand years might not be enough to refine it.

Therefore, Eldrin Chen's current study of the Ancient Scripture [an archaic and profound cultivation manual] is precisely to seek a method for refining the Great Void Condensed Jade. Find thousands of chapters at audio-novel . com.

Indeed, these Ancient Scripture [ancient texts containing profound cultivation methods] truly live up to their status as the Deep-Seated Foundation [the core, stabilizing heritage] of a Blessed Land [a land of profound spiritual energy and fortune]. The Celestial Brilliance Ancient Scroll recorded a specific Six Harmonies and Eight Directions Treasure Refining Fire Formation [a grand formation for refining treasures, harnessing the powers of the six harmonies and eight directions], which could aid in the refinement of high-grade magical treasures.

According to the method's description, by gathering six supreme Immortals [beings who have ascended to immortality] and eight powerful Immortals at or above the Mid Ascendant Immortal Realm [the mid-stage of the Ascendant Immortal realm], and positioning them according to the six harmonies and eight directions...

...one could, through a secret art, form the formation and converge the Immortal Essence [the fundamental energy of an immortal] of all fourteen participants, greatly amplifying the power of the flames within the Artificer's Furnace [a specialized furnace for crafting magical treasures].

Theoretically, if the supporting Immortals were sufficiently powerful, one could even summon the "Six Harmonies and Eight Directions Heaven-Refining Divine Flame" [a divine flame of supreme refining power, capable of forging heaven and earth], potent enough to refine even a World-Opening Treasure [a treasure of legendary power, said to be capable of cleaving chaos and opening worlds].

In ancient times, the Crimson Flame Immortal Sect gathered over a dozen supreme Immortals to assist Ancestor Celestial Brilliance in using this flame to successfully refine a single High Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure.

"If we could gather fourteen to form the array, it might be sufficient to refine the Great Void Condensed Jade," Eldrin Chen murmured to himself.

Eldrin Chen, the Abyssal Emperor, pondered silently for a moment before beginning to assess the available manpower within the Immortal Alliance.

Currently, within the Immortal Alliance, the supreme Immortals included Eldrin Chen, Lyra Jiang, Verdant Consort, and Six Stars Immortal—only four, falling short of the six required for the six harmonies Formation Eye [a core node or position within a formation array].

However, Eldrin Chen and Lyra Jiang possessed Mana [a cultivator's reservoir of spiritual power] far surpassing that of ordinary Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the pinnacle stage before full ascension to immortality], allowing them to shoulder a greater share of the burden. This meant Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal title signifying mastery over void refinement] and Sky Feather Daoist could serve as substitutes.

As for the eight participants needed for the eight directions Formation Eye, that problem was considerably easier to solve.

Currently, the clan possesses two treasured lands: the Starry Glazed Realm and the Abyssal Abode of Bliss. Within these, the cultivation speed for Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and ascended to a higher state of existence] is several times faster than in the outside world. Coupled with an abundance of cultivation resources, the Immortal of the Immortal Alliance [a coalition of powerful immortal beings] all progress at a remarkably swift pace.

Consequently, within the Immortal Alliance, those who have reached the Mid Ascendant Immortal Realm [the middle stage of the Immortal Ascension realm] are not few in number.

Among them, those who have reached the Sixth Level of Immortal Ascension Realm [the sixth and penultimate stage of the Immortal Ascension realm] number three: Lila, Yvonne the Violet Consort, and Violet Flame Immortal Consort.

Those at the Fifth Level of Immortal Ascension [the fifth stage of the Immortal Ascension realm] number five: Separated Flame Phoenix, Master of the Drifting Snow Palace, Ancestor Black Tortoise, Kael Chen, and Qiyuan Chen.

Beneath these five, aside from the few who have newly ascended in the last twenty thousand years, the remaining Immortal of the Immortal Alliance have all cultivated to the level of the Fourth Level of Immortal Ascension [the fourth stage of the Immortal Ascension realm].

"Our numbers are sufficient,"

"The primary concern now lies with my artifact-forging techniques."

Eldrin Chen pondered silently for a moment before gathering his thoughts.

He held the Celestial Brilliance Ancient Scroll [an ancient scripture containing profound knowledge of artifact crafting] and studied it with a ravenous hunger for over three hundred years. He felt his understanding of artifact forging had been elevated to a great height before finally setting the ancient scroll aside.

After setting the scroll down, he did not depart. Instead, he retrieved from his sleeve a pair of dazzlingly brilliant, yet profoundly dark, treasure orbs.

"Black Serpent's Eye."

Gazing at the dark, abyssal orb before him, Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, his expression turning grave.

Several Millennium ago, after slaying the Boundless Black Serpent, he had preserved its eye for this very purpose: to forge a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure.

This treasure was intended for Six Stars Immortal, but his insufficient skill in artifact forging had delayed the endeavor until now.

Now, having inherited the legacy of the Crimson Flame Immortal Sect, his Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound, accumulated knowledge and skill base of a cultivator] in the art of forging had deepened, finally allowing him to attempt crafting the Black Serpent's Eye.

"This serpent's pupil harbors the World-Opening Divine Ability [a supreme power capable of cleaving through primordial chaos] known as the Black Malignancy Boundless Demonic Light [a demonic radiance of infinite, corrupting darkness]. Its might ranks among the most formidable of all Divine Radiance Divine Ability [a category of supreme powers manifesting as beams or auras of divine light]."

"Yet the pupil itself is fragile. It must be fused with a suitable Immortal Gold [a mythical metal of celestial origin used in crafting supreme artifacts] to enhance its material resilience."

Contemplating the forging method for the Black Serpent's Eye, Eldrin finally selected a piece of Nine Heavens Secret Silver [a legendary silver said to originate from the highest celestial realms] and some Supreme Profound Essence Gold [the quintessential gold embodying profound cosmic principles] as supplementary materials.

Both the Nine Heavens Secret Silver and the Supreme Profound Essence Gold were extraordinary specimens of High Grade Immortal Gold.

The Secret Silver could repel myriad arts, possessing the Mysterious Profound [an esoteric principle rendering one untouchable by external powers], while the Adamantine [a mythical, unbreakable metal] was peerlessly hard, counted among the most indestructible treasures within the Heavenly Layers [the stratified celestial realms of higher cultivation].

Eldrin Chen repeatedly smelted the Nine Heavens Secret Silver with the Supreme Profound Essence Gold, ultimately fusing them into a single, resplendent mass of radiant immortal metal.

This immortal metal was golden in its entirety, yet it shimmered with a Hazy light like that of silver sand, transforming into the legendary Nine Heavens Silver Sand Gold [a rare and special immortal metal known for its unique properties].

This Nine Heavens Silver Sand Gold was an exceedingly rare and special type of immortal metal. It not only possessed the Nine Heavens Secret Silver's resistance to spells and Divine Ability [supernatural powers cultivated by immortals], but also retained the Supreme Profound Essence Gold's indestructible and resilient nature.

Thereafter, he melted this mass of metal into a liquid and forged it into an ornate necklace, finally setting the two Black Serpent's Eye [mysterious gem-like eyes from a powerful serpent] upon it.

Even so, Eldrin Chen felt it was still somewhat insufficient. He continuously inscribed Formation Patterns [intricate patterns that channel and shape energy for formations or arrays] within the Black Serpent's Eye, activating the internal Rule Power [power derived from the fundamental laws of the cosmos]. He then placed it within the Abyss of the Abyssal End to refine and absorb vast quantities of Primordial Heavy Water [an ancient, incredibly dense water imbued with primordial energy].

The spiritual essence of the Primordial Heavy Water harmonized with that of the Black Serpent's Eye. As it continuously fused within, it caused the Black Serpent's Eye to grow increasingly dark, profound, and deep, ultimately giving rise to a subtly manifest, profoundly mysterious Dao Patterns [patterns that embody the principles of the Dao, the fundamental truth of existence].

An immeasurable length of time passed. With the massive infusion of Primordial Heavy Water, the Black Serpent's Eye ultimately underwent a complete and fundamental transformation.

"*Hummmmmm—*"

Accompanied by this resonant hum, the Black Serpent's Eye erupted with a boundless, dazzling radiance, illuminating the vast, fathomless depths for millions upon millions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters].

When all light finally receded and tranquility was restored, Eldrin Chen found before myself an exquisitely ornate yet ancient-looking necklace.

"This object..."

Gazing upon it, Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a faint smile gracing his lips once more.

After his refinement, the Black Serpent's Eye was now encased in Nine Heavens Silver Sand Immortal Metal, making it far less prone to shattering or destruction; its defensive capabilities had been greatly enhanced.

Beyond that, within this Black Serpent's Eye resided two exceptionally powerful Divine Ability [supernatural powers cultivated by immortals].

The first was its innate 'Black Malignancy Demonic Radiance' [a divine radiance technique imbued with corrupting, demonic energy]. This Divine Ability belonged to the radiant light category, not only possessing formidable offensive power but also being particularly effective at countering defensive Divine Ability.

The second was named 'Primordial True Aegis' [a primordial shield technique of absolute defense], a defensive-class Defensive Divine Ability.

To forge this Primordial True Aegis Divine Ability, Eldrin Chen specifically modified the method of the Primordial Chaos True Aura [a technique to manifest the protective aura of primordial chaos] and inscribed it into the Black Serpent's Eye. This allowed it to fuse and interact with the Rule [the fundamental laws or principles of cultivation] contained within the Black Serpent's Eye, evolving into a singular Defensive Divine Ability.

Yet this alone was insufficient. Eldrin Chen further drew upon a vast quantity of Primordial Heavy Water [a primordial spiritual water of immense density and power], infusing it into the Black Serpent's Eye to serve as the power source for this Primordial True Aegis.
