Chapter 654 : The Sword's Hidden Power

"This is..."

Eldrin Chen noticed a subtle difference as that withered branch slowly transformed, ultimately crystallizing into a dazzling, glass-like sword tip.

"It's nothing serious. It was merely to preserve myself and conceal my true nature."

"And this is merely a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a supreme-grade spiritual artifact imbued with the purest Yang energy]. The legendary Supreme Immortal Treasure [a mythical artifact of the highest order, wielded by true Immortals], if held by an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality], could unleash Sword Qi [projected energy from a sword technique] that spans tens of thousands of Li-lengths. Yet, if it were to fall into the mortal realm, you might not be able to use it even if it were right before your eyes."

The Green Abyss Sword [a sentient magical sword] spoke softly, its broken edge emitting a faint, shimmering light. With a soft *ding*, it fused the Shattered Sword [the broken pieces of the sword] back together, leaving only a deep, lingering crack that refused to fully heal.

Even so, the Green Abyss Sword was overjoyed. It looked at Eldrin Chen and said, "Now that the sword tip has been recovered, I need only three hundred years of recuperation to restore my full power."

"If you could find some sixth-rank Pure Yang Divine Liquid [a sacred liquid of pure Yang essence], it could also help accelerate my recovery."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen felt a flicker of hope in his heart, but it was quickly replaced by a bitter smile.

How precious was the Pure Yang Divine Liquid? Back when he was advancing the Dual Polarity Treasure Lotus [a magical treasure lotus embodying dual polarities], Eldrin Chen had once purchased a single drop. The price he paid was a staggering four hundred Heavenly Crystal [a high-grade, purified form of Spirit Stone], an almost astronomical cost.

Although the Green Abyss Sword's injuries were mostly healed, the amount of Pure Yang Divine Liquid required would likely start at ten drops. That price was simply beyond his means to bear. Access the full story on audio - novel . com.

Regardless, the recovery of the Green Abyss Sword [a legendary enchanted blade] was an occasion for immense celebration.

Within the Purple Realm [a higher plane of existence], the value of a single Inferior Grade Spiritual Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact] starts at over one hundred Heavenly Crystal [a high-purity form of spiritual energy currency]. However, a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a supreme treasure forged with pure Yang energy] is essentially priceless.

Such paramount treasures are few in number. Across the entire Eastern Wastelands, there are merely a few dozen, each one a named entry upon the Purple Supreme Treasure Registry [a legendary catalog of the realm's most powerful artifacts].

If one were to measure its worth in Heavenly Crystal, the Green Abyss Sword would likely start at thirty thousand, with almost no Nascent Soul Dao Lord [a supreme cultivator whose soul has taken nascent form] willing to trade a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure for mere Heavenly Crystal.

After storing the Green Abyss Sword, the two hurriedly returned to Spirit Isle Lake.

Upon arriving at Spirit Isle Lake, Eldrin Chen said to Lyra Jiang, "Now that we have gathered all seven Star Fragment [fragments of celestial power], it is time to forge the Astral Computator of the Great Deduction."

The Astral Computator of the Great Deduction is a unique Fifth Rank High Grade Spiritual Treasure [a top-tier artifact of immense power]. It is the supreme Spiritual Treasure of the Heaven's Secrets Lineage [a sect specializing in divination and fate], ranking among the top ten in potency even amongst Heavenly Secrets Spiritual Treasure [artifacts of celestial divination], surpassed only by those few treasures of Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure caliber.

With this artifact in hand, Eldrin Chen's sensitivity to the Heavenly Secrets Art [the art of celestial divination] would grow immensely. His skill in deduction would then rival, if not surpass, that of many Nascent Soul Dao Lord who do not cultivate the Heavenly Secrets [the path of celestial secrets].

Furthermore, for Eldrin Chen and Lyra Jiang to cultivate the Great Derivation Heaven Art [the supreme art of celestial derivation] to the Great Perfection Realm [the pinnacle of mastery], the assistance of the Astral Computator of the Great Deduction would be essential.

With that settled, there was nothing more to discuss. The two immediately set to work forging the Astral Computator of the Great Deduction.

This crafting of the Astral Computator of the Great Deduction occupied a full two years before Eldrin Chen finally succeeded in its creation.

Once forged, the Astral Computator of the Great Deduction radiated with resplendent starlight, a truly extraordinary and peerless treasure.

As Eldrin Chen continuously channeled his power, nine celestial bodies within the Astral Computator of the Great Deduction shifted and realigned in endless permutations, generating infinite numerical possibilities. From these countless combinations, the intricate threads and trajectories of countless Heavenly Secrets could be deduced.

Gazing upon the Astral Computator of the Great Deduction, Eldrin Chen remarked with evident delight, "This Astral Computator of the Great Deduction is truly astonishing. In the art of deduction alone, it likely far surpasses the Star-Gazing Tower."

Eldrin Chen's Star-Gazing Tower was also a supreme treasure of Heavenly Secrets. However, each tool has its specialty. The Star-Gazing Tower excelled more in defending against Heavenly Secrets curses and spells; its deductive capabilities were considerably inferior to those of the Astral Computator of the Great Deduction.

Beside him, Lyra Jiang also wore an expression of great joy and could not help but ask, "Could this Astral Computator of the Great Deduction be fused with the Star-Gazing Tower?"

"My thoughts exactly, my lady."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement, then summoned his Star-Gazing Tower and stepped inside.

Within the Star-Gazing Tower, nine Star Fragment drifted amidst the starry firmament. The Stellar Enlightenment Platform stood with majestic grandeur, while the Icy Heart Demon-Subduing Mirror hung suspended in the void—a scene of truly immortal splendor.

"Go!"

With a soft incantation from Eldrin Chen, the Astral Computator of the Great Deduction in his hand flew out and landed upon the Stellar Enlightenment Platform, transforming into the celestial core, the pivotal point of the Star-Gazing Tower.

"Hmm—"

As the Astral Computator of the Great Deduction settled into its place, intricate arrays of formation patterns spread through the void, intertwining with the Dao Patterns [mystical inscriptions representing fundamental principles] upon the Computator, erupting in a blaze of dazzling radiance.

The Northern Dipper Seven Stars [the seven stars of the Big Dipper constellation] from the Nine Heavens Above [the highest celestial realms] and the light emanating from the Nine Palaces Stars [stars associated with the Nine Palaces divination system] upon the Astral Computator of the Great Deduction became entangled in a luminous dance. Streams of Heavenly Secrets [the art of divining celestial mysteries] power fused together, giving rise to a startling metamorphosis.

For a time, the entire Star-Gazing Tower was sheathed in a veil of hazy starlight, growing ever more majestic and resplendent, a sight that seemed not of the mortal world.

"A Quasi-Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure." For uninterrupted reading, go to audio-novel .c om.

Eldrin Chen's face lit up with pleasant surprise. After integrating the Astral Computator of the Great Deduction, the Star-Gazing Tower had undergone a miraculous transformation, reaching the level of a Quasi-Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a treasure approaching the pinnacle Pure Yang grade].

This set of Spiritual Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact], forged from twenty precious Spiritual Object [objects imbued with spiritual essence], had finally attained a power comparable to a Quasi-Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure. Its amplification of Heavenly Secrets Dao [the Path of Heavenly Secrets divination] could now be ranked among the very finest under heaven.

"The value of this treasure," Lyra Jiang remarked, her tone filled with awe as she gazed upon the Star-Gazing Tower, "would likely place it fourth among all Heavenly Secrets Spiritual Treasure [divination-focused spiritual treasures] within the Purple Realm."

Lyra Jiang watched the Star-Gazing Tower, her expression one of profound reflection as she spoke.

Special Spiritual Treasure [a unique and powerful enchanted artifact] are exceedingly rare to begin with, let alone Heavenly Secrets Spiritual Treasure [a spiritual treasure capable of revealing cosmic secrets]. The Purple Supreme Treasure Registry [a legendary catalog of the most powerful treasures] lists only three such Heavenly Secrets Spiritual Treasure.

Those three Spiritual Treasure are all Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [treasures of the highest purity and yang energy]: the 'Heaven-Gazing Mirror', the 'Heaven-Patterned Armor', and the 'Netherworld Ancient Tome'.

Among them, the Heaven-Gazing Mirror is a replica of one of the Purple Nine Treasures [nine supreme treasures of legend]. It is said to possess a wisp of the divine essence of an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born of heaven and earth], ranking as high as Sixth Rank High Grade. It stands among the top ten supreme treasures within the Purple Realm's Supreme Treasure of Pure Yang [the ultimate treasures of pure yang energy].

The Heaven-Patterned Armor resides within the Southern Ridge Dao Palace. Legend tells that the former master of the Southern Ridge Dao Palace slew a Divine Turtle Demon Progenitor [an ancient, god-like turtle demon] that had lived for one hundred thousand years, and forged this armor from its Turtle Shell.

The Netherworld Ancient Tome was originally named the 'Heaven-Derivation Tome'. It was once the Lifebound Supreme Treasure [a treasure bound to one's life and soul] of the 'Heaven-Derivation Daoist'. However, the Heaven-Derivation Daoist later fell into the Netherworld Demonic Path [a dark and corrupt cultivation path], becoming the infamous Netherworld Ancient Ancestor, and thus the treasure became known as the 'Netherworld Ancient Tome'.

No one knows what Heavenly Secrets [cosmic truths or forbidden knowledge] the Netherworld Ancient Ancestor glimpsed through this artifact, but it caused him to plunge into the Demonic Path [the path of demonic cultivation] in a single moment of madness.

Regardless, after the Netherworld Ancient Ancestor embraced the Demonic Path, he immediately broke through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage. This proves the Netherworld Ancient Tome must have revealed a sliver of genuine Heavenly Secrets.

Beyond these three supreme Supreme Treasure of Pure Yang, there exist no other Heavenly Secrets Spiritual Treasure of the Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure grade in all the world.

The fact that Eldrin Chen's Star-Gazing Tower ranks among the Quasi-Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [treasures approaching the purity and power of Pure Yang treasures] shows it stands just below those three peerless treasures, with nothing else able to rival it.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen felt greatly pleased. He stored the Star-Gazing Tower away.

No sooner had the two of them stepped out of the Seclusion Chamber than they found Lila already waiting for them. Upon seeing them, she said, "Senior Harlan returned some days ago. He said to have you come see him."

"Senior Harlan has returned?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's expression brightened with delight. Magnus the Virtuous's departure had been for a matter of great importance; he had stated that upon his return, he would begin the process of reconnecting the Earth Vein [the spiritual energy channels within the earth] of the Heaven's Spine Mountains.

Now that he was back, it seemed their summons was undoubtedly for this very purpose. Dive deeper into the Dao at http://www . audio-novel.com.
