Chapter 186 Heaven-Sundering Twin Swords

Eldrin shook his head and temporarily abandoned cultivating this divine ability. After all, gathering solar essence was far too slow—if he were to designate it as mandatory training, it would hinder his cultivation progress.

Apart from the cultivation techniques, the 2 deduced natal magic treasures were also exceptionally extraordinary.

The refinement method for the Magnetic Treasure Bracer (Magic Treasure) had been repeatedly simulated by him and Lyra (Person Name) on numerous occasions. This sudden enlightenment merely served to perfect it.

That immortal sword was derived through deduction based on the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure). This blade and the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) stood in opposition as yin and yang, forming a complementary pair of immortal swords.

The method for forging this immortal sword was actually an idea Eldrin had conceived many years prior.

Profound Water is the essence of rivers, lakes, and seas. Using the Profound Water Crystal (Spiritual Object) as the primary material, the sword body is forged by smelting third-grade Profound Water Treasure Metal.

Once this sword is forged, its power may rival the descent of the celestial river—vast, unstoppable, and perhaps not inferior to the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure).

"With water as its primary attribute, and symbolizing the waters of rivers, lakes, and seas, this sword shall be named the 'Heavenly River Ren Water Sword'."

Eldrin gazed at the recorded refinement method, a faint smile unconsciously gracing his lips.

The innate formation patterns of the Heavenly River Ren Water Sword were crafted in emulation of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), making them inherently a matched pair. Theoretically, these 2 immortal swords could merge into a unified whole.

The inherent power of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) was already formidable in its own right. Should 1 acquire the 'Heavenly River Ren Water Sword' as well, the moment these celestial blades unite, their combined might would likely ascend to a truly staggering level.

Celestial Severance Twin Blades.

"Within the Celestial Python Lake (Location), there must be some Profound Water Crystal (Spiritual Object), right?"

Putting away the method for forging the Heavenly River Ren Water Sword, Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly.

This time within the Gengjin Earth Vein, he had already obtained 1 piece of Renshui Precious Gold. Now, all he needed was a single Profound Water Crystal (Spiritual Object) to forge the Heavenly River Renshui Sword.

6 years later, Lyra would launch her assault on Celestial Python Lake. Within Celestial Python Lake lay a fourth-order Ren Water Earth Vein, which should undoubtedly be sufficient for her to refine the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

Once this sword was forged and the Heavenly Li Twin Blades successfully merged, in terms of offensive prowess alone, he would likely be able to hold his own against a Purple Palace, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) expert.

At this thought, a greater sense of urgency to assault the Celestial Python Lake (Location) surged within him.

After the epiphany ended, Eldrin cleared his mind and rested for several days.

It was not until 3 days later that he finally composed his thoughts and began refining his third Natal Magic Treasure.

This time, the magical treasure he intended to forge was called the 'Yin Yang Magnetic Treasure Bracer'. According to Eldrin's calculations, this Magnetic Treasure Bracer required magnetic gold as the primary material, with Geng Metal Crystal and Xin Metal Essence fused into it.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) deduction, once this treasure was forged, it would contain the power of Yin-Yang Primordial Magnetism, capable of unleashing the Divine Light of Yin-Yang Primordial Magnetism. It would completely suppress all metal-attribute supernatural abilities and magic treasures, making it a first-rate auxiliary treasure.

"I hope it does not disappoint."

Before the artifact-crafting cauldron, Eldrin gazed at the Magnetstone Treasure Ore before him, a flicker of anticipation rising in his heart.

This was his third time forging a Destiny-Steel Treasure, and he had already reached a stage of practiced ease. Moreover, his current cultivation base was incomparable to what it had been in the past, so he was fully confident in successfully refining the treasure.

He placed the Auric Lodestone into the Refining Hall, then began channeling his True Flame to commence the smelting process.

This Aurum Alloy truly lived up to its reputation as a third-tier precious metal—both incredibly sturdy and exceptionally difficult to refine. Even with Eldrin's current cultivation level fueling his True Flame, it took a full half-month of continuous tempering before the metal finally liquefied into a molten substance.

After completing this step, he once again took out the translucent crystal stone.

Within these 2 crystals, 1 was a Geng Metal Crystal (Spiritual Object), while the other was the legendary Xin Metal Crystal.

The Geng Metal Crystal (Spiritual Object) was naturally obtained from the earth veins of the Purple Mansion, while the Xin Metal Crystal was acquired by Lyra (Person Name) when she stormed the Earth Lion Ridge during the Beast Tide. After the turmoil subsided, Lyra (Person Name) gifted it to Eldrin (Person Name).

Now, to forge the Magnetic Treasure Bracer (Magic Treasure), Eldrin (Person Name) had spared no expense, producing at once a precious piece of Primordial Magnetic Gold and 2 invaluable 5-Element Crystals.

If handed to a skilled artifact craftsman, these 3 treasures might be forged into a superior-grade, 3-tier magical artifact.

And the reason Eldrin invested such a heavy stake was precisely to utilize the power of the 2 5 Elements Crystals, amplifying the properties of the Magnetic Treasure Gold to its utmost limit—even enabling it to suppress metal-attributed supernatural powers.

Gritting his teeth, Eldrin placed 2 5 Elements Crystals into the treasured cauldron and began channeling his magic power to refine them relentlessly.

The process was exceptionally lengthy, taking a full half-month before the 2 5 Element Crystals finally melted into 2 pools of liquid substance.

Xin Metal belongs to yin metal, while Geng Metal is known as yang metal.

By integrating these 2 treasures into the Magnetic Treasure Gold, its power would surely surge exponentially, elevating it to become the finest auxiliary magical treasure.

Gazing at the 3 liquid masses before him, Eldrin murmured to himself.

As his words fell, he urged the 3 liquid masses to merge into 1. In an instant, the furnace radiated brilliant light, revealing a wondrous phenomenon.

The liquid formed from the Primordial Magnetic Treasure Metal drew the other 2 masses of liquid toward it, manifesting a swirling Yin-Yang Taiji symbol.

It was like a magnet drawing 2 pools of metallic liquid together, merging them into a singular mass of peculiar gold-and-blue fluid that continued to morph and evolve of its own accord.

"This is..."

A treasure is born of nature.

Eldrin's pupils abruptly contracted as he realized that even before he could shape his nascent magical treasure, the liquid had already coalesced into a luminous treasure mirror.

What was even more astonishing was that the power of the Magnetic Treasure Gold and the Yin-Yang Treasure Crystal merged, and the innate formation patterns contained within the 3 spontaneously integrated, ultimately giving rise to a self-evolved divine ability.

This led him to abandon the idea of shaping the treasure into a specific form. He had originally intended to forge it into the 'Yin-Yang Primordial Magnetism Golden Bracelet,' but now, for the sake of this innate divine ability, he gave up reshaping it.

Fortunately, the array patterns of the Life-Bound Magical Treasure imposed minimal requirements on the artifact’s form. After Eldrin made slight modifications, he engraved the finalized design into the treasure mirror once it took shape.

He then began to infuse the aura of Geng Metal and Xin Metal into it. This process consumed over another month before the magical treasure was finally refined to the second-rank, upper-grade.

Eldrin had originally intended to refine it all at once to the lower grade of the third rank, only to discover that the family's accumulated 5 Elements Qi had been completely depleted by him. He could only reluctantly abandon this plan.

The Renwater Blue Lotus Throne was still only a lower-grade Rank 3 magical treasure, and its ascension would require the energy of the 5 Elements.

"It seems I must expedite the acquisition of the 5 Elements Qi."

A thought flashed through his mind. He then exhaled a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi, merging it into the treasured mirror to enhance its foundational origins.

Eldrin (Person Name) was born with a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi innate within him. Every decade thereafter, he accumulated another wisp of Primordial Purple Qi. Now, 60-3 years later, he had amassed a total of 7 wisps of Primordial Purple Qi.

Over the years, he had consumed no small amount of Primordial Purple Qi throughout his cultivation journey.

The first wisp of Primordial Purple Qi was used to elevate his own foundation, the second was applied to the Spirit Peach Tree, and the third was absorbed by the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure).

Chapter 1: The Reborn Youth The biting cold wind howled, carrying with it the scent of decay and rusted iron. In the dilapidated temple, a youth slowly opened his eyes. "Have I... truly returned?" murmured Lin Xuan (Person Name), his gaze piercing through the broken roof tiles toward the heavens. Memories surged like tidal waves—the 9 Heavens Thunder Tribulation, the betrayal of his beloved, and that final strike of the soul-shattering sword... He was once the revered Flawless Immortal Venerable, standing atop the cultivation world, yet he fell at the most critical moment of transcending the tribulation. Now, reborn 3 100 years in the past, he had returned to his 16-year-old self. "Yun Ruoyan (Person Name), just you wait. In this life, I will surely make you pay the price for your betrayal!" Lin Xuan clenched his fists, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He sat cross-legged and began to inspect his body. The meridians were blocked, and the dantian was damaged—exactly as he remembered from his youth. But now, with the memories and insights of his past life, these obstacles were nothing but minor setbacks. "Time to cultivate the 'Supreme Chaos Heaven Swallowing Art' (Cultivation Method)," Lin Xuan murmured to himself. This was the supreme technique he had obtained from an ancient ruins in his previous life, now his greatest advantage in starting over. He took a deep breath and guided the sparse spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body. The energy flowed along his meridians, slowly cleansing his marrow and transforming his tendons. Suddenly, the door of the temple was kicked open with a loud crash. "Lin Xuan, you worthless trash! Still hiding here?" Several youths swaggered in, led by a burly young man. "Hand over the dozen or so spirit stones your family sent you, and we might just let you off easy today." Lin Xuan recognized him—Zhao Gang (Person Name), a thug who often bullied the weak. In his past life, Lin Xuan had suffered countless humiliations at his hands, but now... A cold smile tugged at the corner of Lin Xuan's mouth. "If you want spirit stones, come and get them yourself." Zhao Gang was momentarily stunned, then flew into a rage. "How dare you, a good-for-nothing with blocked meridians, act so arrogantly! Men, teach him a lesson!" The 2 followers rushed forward, but before they could even see clearly, Lin Xuan had already moved. With 2 crisp slaps, the 2 were sent flying, their faces swollen and bloody. "How... how is this possible?" Zhao Gang stared in disbelief. This Lin Xuan, who couldn't even withstand a single blow before, had actually... "Scram!" Lin Xuan's voice was not loud, but it carried an irresistible authority. Zhao Gang shuddered, feeling as if he were facing some ancient ferocious beast. Without another word, he turned and fled in panic. After driving them away, Lin Xuan did not relax. Instead, he frowned. "This body is still too weak. I must find some medicinal herbs to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill (Elixir) as soon as possible." He recalled that in the nearby Black Cloud Mountains, there seemed to be a stalk of 100 Years Old Ginseng (Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure). Though it was only a low-grade spirit herb, it was more than enough for his current needs. Making up his mind, Lin Xuan immediately set out for the Black Cloud Mountains. The mountain forest was dense, filled with the roars of fierce beasts. But with his past life's experience, Lin Xuan easily avoided many dangers and soon arrived at the edge of a cliff. There, a ginseng plant shimmering with spiritual light stood proudly in the wind. Just as he was about to pick it, a sharp roar pierced the air. "Step back! That 100 Years Old Ginseng is mine!"
