Chapter 107: Dazzling
The Treasure Repository was a special place on Archean Mountain. Large amounts of treasures and resources were stored here. It had plenty of stewards and servants.
Lightning Devastator Fiend Body, Eighth Refinent? Three stewards and ten servants—who were in charge of serving the disciples on this floor—heard what ng Chuan said. They were secretly astonished. They had been stationed at the Treasure Repository for a long ti, and they knew that it had been many years since sobody—who had completed the Eighth Refinent of the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body—had appeared.
“I’ve been stationed at the Treasure Repository for almost sixty years. I’ve never seen a disciple that had completed the Eighth Refinent.”
“Lord ng Chuan has only been on the mountain for a year, and he’s completed the Eighth Refinent. I bet that Lord ng family’s future achievents will be in no way lesser than King Calm Sea’s fifth son.”
The two stewards behind the counter looked at ng Chuan and secretly talked via voice transmission.
Those who could beco stewards were at least Seamless realm experts. So of them were even at the Core Condensation realm.
Soon, a linen-clothed elder ca from upstairs. It was Elder Yi.
“Elder Yi,” greeted ng Chuan respectfully.
“You completed the Eighth Refinent?” Elder Yi smiled amiably.
“I just mastered it yesterday,” answered ng Chuan honestly.
Elder Yi nodded gently. With his strength, he could tell that the Golden Crow baneful aura had fused with his body completely. He imdiately instructed, “Go, get a bottle of Six Desires baneful aura.”
“Yes,” the cyan-robed man replied respectfully.
“The Six Desires baneful aura is painstakingly collected from mortal cities,” said Elder Yi. “Every bottle has nine baneful aura wisps. It isn’t found easily. Only absorb it when you are confident of refining it! Don’t waste it.”
ng Chuan nodded respectfully. “I understand.”
Soon, the cyan-robed man brought out a red porcelain bottle. After receiving it, Elder Yi handed it to ng Chuan. “This Six Desires baneful aura is the last type you need for tempering your body. It’s also the most special one. It has the greatest impact on one’s consciousness. You have to temper your will first. If you can’t reach the threshold, don’t absorb it. Otherwise, it might affect your mind. It won’t be surprising if it affects you for decades. Once your willpower reaches the threshold, you can attempt to refine the baneful aura.”
“I will rember your advice.” ng Chuan had read the books long ago. He knew how dangerous the Ninth Refinent was. If he absorbed the baneful aura while his will was weak, he would transform into a lunatic controlled by his desires. Even if he were saved by Archean Mountain Godfiends, the negative effects on his mind could last for decades or even a lifeti.
...
ng Chuan next prepared to temper his will! He hoped that his willpower would quickly reach the threshold of refining the Six Desires baneful aura.
I’ll rest for a day and let my ntal state return to normal. I’ll go to the Darkness Altar tomorrow and see how far I can reach. ng Chuan placed the Six Desires baneful aura bottle into a cabinet within his cave abode before closing it. I’ve been on the mountain for a year now. I wonder how much my willpower has improved.
This year, he cultivated his saber arts diligently every day. He attained Saber Intent and learned the Heart Saber Stance. He had experienced 120 days of tornt brought by the Golden Crow baneful aura.
This year, he had also gotten engaged to Liu Qiyue.
However, he did not know how much his willpower had improved in the past year.
...
25th December, early morning.
ng Chuan and Liu Qiyue arrived at Grotto-Heaven Pavilion together. Today, the Supremacy would give a lecture. Now, there were 279 disciples inside Grotto-Heaven Pavilion.
New disciples had arrived! So old disciples had passed the Nine Mystical Caves and left. ng Chuan was now considered a senior disciple after being on the mountain for a year.
When ng Chuan and Liu Qiyue entered the pavilion, a steward imdiately ca forward and said with a smile, “Lady Liu Qiyue, your position has changed slightly. Please follow .” The seating arrangent had changed since new disciples had joined. There were new disciples with extrely high talent.
ng Chuan remained in the sa spot—he was still in the first row.
Ever since he mastered the Heart Saber Stance and reached the Seventh Refinent, he had been in the first row. Xue Feng, Xiao Yunyue, and the other Godfiends—who had attained transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies—were all seated in the first row. So who had mastered a transcendent-grade Godfiend body were in the second or third row.
Liu Qiyue sat behind, to ng Chuan’s left. She could definitely attain a perfected Phoenix Divine Body. She just needed more ti.
“Look, the couple that walked in is ng Chuan and Liu Qiyue.”
“ng Chuan reached the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body’s Eighth Refinent in the one year since he joined Archean Mountain. He has long mastered a Black tal Sutra move. His talent is so high that he is on par with King Calm Sea’s fifth son, Xue Feng. Beside him is Liu Qiyue. She’s awakened a phoenix bloodline. They are a famous couple on our Archean Mountain.”
“Senior Brother ng ca from an ordinary Godfiend family clan. If he ca from a Regis Godfiend family clan, he would be much stronger than he is now. Xue Feng beca a Godfiend at fifteen, making him a few years faster than Senior Brother ng. It’s all thanks to his family.”
“Mastering a Black tal Sutra move in half a year truly makes him monstrous.”
Many disciples secretly discussed them.
In the past half a year, ng Chuan was the most dazzling disciple in Grotto-Heaven Pavilion. He rose to prominence rapidly, dumbfounding many disciples. In terms of speed, he was even faster than Xue Feng and Xiao Yunyue. However, ng Chuan was already eighteen when he ca to the mountain while Xue Feng had been thirteen. This caused ng Chuan to be a lot slower in many aspects. However, many disciples believed that his talent was no less than Xue Feng’s.
“ng Chuan, congratulations on completing the Eighth Refinent realm.” Yan Jin walked over and revealed a rare smile.
“You are aware of it too?” ng Chuan was surprised.
“This morning, everyone has been talking about it in Grotto-Heaven Pavilion. Who doesn’t know that you’ve already completed the Eighth Refinent of the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body?” asked Yan Jin. “So, are you planning on completing the Ninth Refinent?”
“I’m going to give it a try,” said ng Chuan with a smile.
Yan Jin nodded gently. “You’ve only been on the mountain for a year. You indeed have ti to give it a try. However, completing the Eighth Refinent realm ans you have Greater Mastery of a transcendent-grade Godfiend body. In Archean Mountain, most who cultivate transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies only gain Lesser Mastery. Greater Mastery is extrely rare. A perfected transcendent-grade Godfiend body rarely appears. Among the disciples who haven’t gone down the mountain, my fifth brother is the only one with a perfected transcendent-grade Godfiend body. However, he cultivates the Black Sand Fiend Body. It’s much easier than your Lightning Devastator Fiend Body.”
ng Chuan nodded. “How’s your cultivation?”
“It’s still early.” Yan Jin shook his head gently and returned to his seat.
Yan Jin silently sat in his seat. Brother ng Chuan has already completed the Eighth Refinent. I estimate I will take another three months before I attain Lesser Mastery of the Azure Lotus Divine Body. To attain Greater Mastery, it will take even more ti. As for the perfected stage? I don’t see any hope in it! However, I need a perfected transcendent-grade Godfiend body if I want to fight a Regis Godfiend. As Yan Jin cultivated, he realized that although he worked very hard, compared to ng Chuan and his fifth brother—Xue Feng—he was indeed slower.
But he never gave up.
Suddenly, an invisible aura spread out, enveloping the entire Grotto-Heaven Pavilion. Silence ensued. ng Chuan and company stood up imdiately. The new disciples—who were still wet behind the ears—followed the crowd and stood up. Supremacy walked in, and his gaze swept across the disciples. He naturally noticed ng Chuan, Xue Feng, and the other outstanding disciples he paid more attention to.
“Greetings, Master.” The disciples bowed respectfully.
...
After the lecture in Grotto-Heaven Pavilion ended, Liu Qiyue went to Marquis Heavenstar for cultivation while ng Chuan headed for the Darkness Altar.
“Lord ng Chuan.” There were stewards and servants at the Darkness Altar as well.
“I wish to ascend the Darkness Altar,” said ng Chuan.
The steward nodded and said, “Then I’ll activate the Darkness Altar now.” As he spoke, he activated a chanism beside him.
“You may begin,” said the steward with a smile. “If Lord ng Chuan stops on the Darkness Altar and can’t advance any further, I’ll shut it off.”
Although the Darkness Altar could temper one’s will, it was mainly used by Archean Mountain disciples to test their willpower. As long as they reached the peak, it ant that they had reached the willpower threshold for becoming a Great Solar Godfiend.
When I participated in the entrance examination last year, I stopped on the 75th step. I wonder how far I can reach now. ng Chuan walked to the Darkness Altar and took the first step. A faint black fog imdiately surged into ng Chuan’s body. His body trembled slightly, but he got used to it quickly. He continued to walk up.
As for the stewards and servants, they watched curiously and wondered which step Lord ng Chuan—who had recently beco famous—could reach.
“Let’s guess how far Lord ng Chuan can go.”
“I think he should be able to reach the 90th step.”
“Lord ng Chuan has been on the mountain for only a year. It shouldn’t be that easy for him to reach the 90th step.” These stewards and servants lived rather dull lives. They chatted excitedly. They knew that ng Chuan couldn’t hear their voices when he was climbing the Darkness Altar.
