Chapter 654 : The Sword's Glimmering Restoration

"This is..."

Eldrin Chen noticed a subtle difference. He watched as that withered branch slowly transformed, ultimately coalescing into a single, dazzlingly brilliant sword tip.Glazed

"It's of no consequence. It was merely concealing itself to ensure its own preservation."

"And this is merely a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a spiritual treasure of the highest solar essence]. The legendary Supreme Immortal Treasure [the ultimate treasure of the Immortals], if wielded by an Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality], could unleash sword energy spanning tens of thousands of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters]. 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 Azure Abyss Sword [a legendary sword named for the azure depths] spoke softly. A soft, radiant glow emanated from its broken edge, and with a clear *ting*, the fractured sword fused together once more, leaving only a deep, lingering crack that refused to fully close.

Even so, the Azure Abyss Sword was immensely pleased. 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 procure some Sixth Rank [a high level of spiritual refinement] Primordial Solar Divine Liquid [a divine liquid condensed from the essence of the primordial sun], 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 Primordial Solar Divine Liquid! In the past, to advance the Dual Polarity Treasure Lotus [a magical treasure lotus embodying the duality of yin and yang], Eldrin Chen had purchased a single drop at the staggering cost of four hundred Heavenly Crystal [a crystal of immense spiritual purity and value]. The price had been astronomical.

Although the Azure Abyss Sword was mostly healed, the amount of Primordial Solar Divine Liquid it would likely consume was at least ten drops to start. That was a price far beyond his means to bear. Continue your cultivation journey at audio-novel-dot-com.

Regardless of the circumstances, the recovery of the Azure Abyss Sword was an occasion for immense celebration.

Within the Purple Seal Realm, the value of a single Inferior-Grade Spiritual Treasure started at over one hundred Heavenly Crystal [a high-purity, crystallized form of spiritual energy used by high-level cultivators]. Yet, a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a supreme-grade treasure forged with the essence of the primordial sun] was essentially priceless.

Such supreme treasures were few and far between in the world. Across the entire Eastern Region Great Wasteland, there were merely a few dozen, each one a named artifact on the Purple Seal Supreme Treasure Ranking.

If one were to measure its worth in Heavenly Crystal, the Azure Abyss Sword would likely start at thirty thousand, with almost no Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a cultivator who has ascended to the Primordial Spirit realm and comprehended a Path] willing to trade a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure for mere Heavenly Crystal.

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

Upon arriving at Spirit Isle Lake, Eldrin Chen said to Exquisite Jiang, "Now that we have gathered all nine Stellar Fragment [fragments of fallen stars imbued with celestial essence], it is time to forge the Great Deduction Star Plate."

The Great Deduction Star Plate was a special Fifth Rank High-Grade Spiritual Treasure. It was the paramount treasure of the Celestial Mechanism Lineage, ranking among the top ten in power even amongst all Celestial Mechanism Spiritual Treasure [treasures specialized for divination and celestial calculations], surpassed only by those few supreme artifacts of Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure grade.

With this artifact in hand, Eldrin Chen's sensitivity to the art of Celestial Mechanism [the mystical study of heavenly patterns and fate] would grow immensely. His divination skills might even rival those of many Primordial Spirit Path Lord who did not specialize in Celestial Mechanism.

Furthermore, both Eldrin Chen and Exquisite Jiang required the Great Deduction Star Plate's assistance to cultivate their Great Deduction Heavenly Art to the Great Perfection Realm.

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

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

Once completed, the Great Deduction Star Plate radiated with resplendent starlight, revealing itself as a truly extraordinary Exotic Treasure.

As Eldrin Chen continuously channeled his power into it, nine Stellar [star-like components] within the Great Deduction Star Plate began to permutate and combine endlessly, capable of forming an infinite number of configurations. From these countless combinations, the intricate pathways and trends of the Celestial Mechanism [the grand workings of fate and the cosmos] could be deduced.

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

Although Eldrin Chen's Star Observation Tower was also a Celestial Mechanism Supreme Treasure, each treasure had its specialty. The Star Observation Tower excelled more in defending against Celestial Mechanism curses and spells; its deductive capabilities paled in comparison to the Great Deduction Star Plate.

Beside him, Exquisite Jiang also wore a look of great pleasure. She could not help but ask, "Can this Great Deduction Star Plate be fused with the Star Observation Tower?"

"My thoughts exactly, my lady."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement. He then summoned forth the Star Observation Tower and stepped inside.

Within the Star Observation Tower, nine Stellar Fragment [fragments of condensed stellar essence] drifted amidst a starry void. The Stellar Enlightenment Platform stood with majestic grandeur, while the Icy Heart Demon-Subduing Mirror hung suspended in the empty space—a scene of truly immortal splendor.

"Go!"

With a soft incantation from Eldrin Chen, the Great Deduction Star Plate in his hand flew out and landed upon the Stellar Enlightenment Platform, transforming into the celestial core, the central pivot of the Star Observation Tower.

"Hmm—"

As the Great Deduction Star Plate settled into its rightful place, arrays of runes spread through the void, intertwining with the Dao patterns upon the plate and erupting in a blaze of dazzling radiance.

The Big Dipper constellation from the Nine Heavens Above and the luminous Stellar energies emanating from the Nine Palaces diagram on the Great Deduction Star Plate became entangled. Streams of Celestial Mechanism power [the cosmic laws governing fate and celestial movements] fused together, triggering a startling metamorphosis.

In that moment, the entire Star Observation Tower was sheathed in a veil of shimmering starlight, growing ever more majestic and resplendent, a sight that seemed to transcend the Mortal Realm.

"A Quasi-Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure." For uninterrupted reading, go to audio-novel . com.

Eldrin Chen's face lit up with elation. After integrating the Great Deduction Star Plate, the Star Observation Tower had undergone a profound transformation, ascending to the level of a Quasi-Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure.

Forged from the fusion of twenty precious Spiritual Object [rare materials imbued with spiritual power], this set of Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts used by cultivators] had finally reached a state comparable to a Quasi-Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure. Its power to augment the Way of Celestial Mechanism [a cultivation art focused on divination and celestial laws] could now be ranked among the very pinnacle in the world.

"The value of this treasure," Exquisite Jiang remarked, her expression one of awe as she gazed upon the Star Observation Tower, "is likely such that, among all Celestial Mechanism Spiritual Treasure within the Purple Seal Realm, it could claim the fourth rank."

She watched the tower, a sigh of profound admiration escaping her lips.

Special Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts of immense power] are inherently exceedingly rare, let alone those of the Celestial Mechanism Spiritual Treasure [a legendary class of treasures said to contain the secrets of cosmic fate and heavenly patterns] variety. Upon the Purple Seal Supreme Treasure Ranking [the definitive ranking of the most powerful artifacts within the Purple Seal Realm], only three such Celestial Mechanism Spiritual Treasure are listed.

Those three Spiritual Treasure are all Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [the highest grade of spiritual treasure, resonating with the power of the primordial sun], namely the 'Heaven Observation Mirror' [a mirror said to reflect the workings of heaven itself], the 'Heavenly Pattern Armor' [armor inscribed with the celestial patterns of fate], and the 'Netherworld Nether Antiquity Tome' [a tome of profound and forbidden knowledge].

Among these, the Heaven Observation Mirror is a replica of one of the Purple Seal Nine Treasures [the nine legendary foundational treasures of the Purple Seal Realm], said to possess a wisp of the divine essence of an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial chaos of creation]. Its grade reaches the lofty Sixth Rank Superior Grade [the pinnacle of the sixth rank, a realm of immense power], ranking it among the top ten supreme Primordial Solar Supreme Treasure [the ultimate class of Primordial Solar treasures] within the Purple Seal Realm.

The Heavenly Pattern Armor resides within the Southern Ridge Path Palace [a major sect and power]. Legend holds that a former master of the palace slew a divine turtle Demon Ancestor [an ancient and immensely powerful demon beast progenitor] that had lived for one hundred thousand years, using its carapace to forge this armor.

The Netherworld Nether Antiquity Tome was originally named the 'Heaven Deduction Tome' [Tome of Heavenly Deduction] and was once the Lifebound Supreme Treasure [a treasure intimately bound to its master's life and cultivation] of the 'Heavenly Path Deduction Path Master' [Master of the Path of Heavenly Deduction]. However, the master later fell into the Netherworld Demonic Path [a corrupt and forbidden cultivation path], becoming the infamous Netherworld Patriarch. Thus, the artifact transformed into the 'Netherworld Nether Antiquity Tome'.

No one knows what glimpse of Celestial Mechanism [the underlying principles and patterns governing heaven, fate, and cosmic order] the Netherworld Patriarch perceived through this artifact that caused him to willingly plunge into the Demonic Path [a path of cultivation that embraces corruption and demonic power] in a single moment of madness.

Regardless, after the Netherworld Patriarch embraced the Demonic Path, he immediately broke through to the Primordial Spirit Late Stage [the advanced stage of the Primordial Spirit realm]. This proves the Netherworld Nether Antiquity Tome must have indeed revealed a sliver of true Celestial Mechanism.

Beyond these three supreme Primordial Solar Supreme Treasure, there exists no other Celestial Mechanism Spiritual Treasure in the world that reaches the grade of a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure.

The fact that Eldrin Chen's Star Observation Tower [a tower for observing the stars and divining fate] has reached the rank of a Quasi-Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a treasure on the cusp of achieving Primordial Solar grade] places it directly beneath those three peerless treasures, with nothing else in existence capable of rivaling it.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen's mood soared. A sense of profound satisfaction settled within him as he carefully stored the Star Observation Tower away.

No sooner had the two of them stepped out of the Seclusion Chamber than they found Lila already waiting for them. Seeing them, she said, "A few days ago, Senior Vast Righteousness returned and mentioned he has a matter to discuss with you."

"Senior Vast Righteousness has returned?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's expression brightened with a flicker of delight. Vast Righteousness True Lord's departure had been for a crucial purpose. He had stated that upon his return, he would begin the work of reconnecting the Earth Vein of the Heavenly Ridge Mountain Range.

Now that he was back, it seemed their summons was undoubtedly for this very task. This content originates from audio-novel.com. Please respect copyright.
