Jia Ren returned to the Lingbao Sect to perfect The Seventh Path’s Dusk Treasured Light and The Eighth Path’s Dusk Treasured Light.
The creation concept of the Dusk Treasured Light was to absorb nature’s spiritual energy and create an apocalyptic region, thus restricting an opponent’s Spiritual Power. Ever since the Dusk Treasured Light combined with the Law of Heaven and Earth, its power had escalated, becoming a ans to provide a massive supply of nature’s spiritual energy. Not only that, but its draining of all nature’s spiritual energy from the Vast Wave Realm was also its masterpiece.
So far, the Dusk Treasured Light had acquired three kinds of Treasured Light effects: Soul-Extinction Radiance, Spirit-Dissolving Radiance, and Absorptive Spirit Radiance. The choice of new Treasured Lights for The Seventh Path and The Eighth Path would determine its future direction.
Which Treasured Light should be chosen? Lifespan Reducing Radiance?! Not to ntion that Lifespan Reducing Radiance mainly draws from Lifespan Trickery Power. If one absorbed such trickery-tainted power into the body, could it even form Divine Skills? One would inevitably be contaminated by the Lifespan Trickery Power. Unlike past experiences with Bizarre Demons’ contamination, once Lifespan Reducing Radiance was refined, this contamination would be persistent, accompanying one for life. Attempting to resolve the contamination with Phoenix Fla and Ashen Flas would only destroy the new Treasured Light completely, rendering one of its Treasured Lights utterly useless. Forcibly using it would co with nurous restrictions, and with the slightest carelessness, I would have to bear the cost of a significant loss in lifespan.
"What a pity!"
Jia Ren felt a pang of regret. If Lifespan Reducing Radiance were successful, it would definitely be a powerful weapon against cultivators. If an enemy fought against , with my Kun State and Black Tortoise Form, not only would they fail to kill , but they would also continuously reduce their own lifespan... The effect would be simply too powerful!
However, it ultimately proved unfeasible for a human to refine Lifespan Reducing Radiance, which was centered on Lifespan Trickery Power.
Could I let the Trickery Path Incarnation act as the carrier and cultivate an exclusive Lifespan Reducing Radiance?!
Jia Ren wasn’t stubborn and quickly thought of an alternative.
If it wasn’t feasible for a human body, why not just create a Trickery Path Incarnation? A Trickery Path Incarnation dedicated to cultivating Lifespan Reducing Radiance, aiding in combat, could achieve a similar effect.
He set aside Lifespan Reducing Radiance and the Trickery Path Incarnation for now to focus on perfecting the Dusk Treasured Light.
Forbidden Magic Radiance? While absorbing Spiritual Power, it forms a prohibition zone where cultivators cannot use their Divine Skills? That’s a good choice. With no nature’s spiritual energy around and Spiritual Power draining at an alarming rate, even if one tried to use escape Divine Skills to flee, they would be unable to execute them due to the Forbidden Magic Radiance’s effect. The power of the Dusk Treasured Light would undergo a qualitative change. Forbidden Magic Radiance could be considered.
There was also a second developnt direction: to reinforce the power of the Dusk Treasured Light, enhancing its ability to plunder spiritual energy. Such Treasured Lights included Strengthening Spirit Radiance and rging Spirit Radiance. Strengthening Spirit Radiance would enhance the three existing Treasured Light effects, increasing the speed of absorbing spiritual energy. rging Spirit Radiance could combine all Treasured Lights into one, and the rged Treasured Light would possess incredible power. Between these two, Jia Ren was more inclined towards rging Spirit Radiance, as its enhancent effect was superior to that of Strengthening Spirit Radiance.
Thus, the choice was between Forbidden Magic Radiance and rging Spirit Radiance. I choose... Forbidden Magic Radiance! The Dusk Treasured Light should not beco a vassal to the Law of Heaven and Earth; it should have its own developnt path, not rely compromise. Once the Treasure Light Body Refining Technique breaks its limits, rging Spirit Radiance could beco The Ninth Path, The Tenth Path, or even The Eleventh Path of Treasured Light.
Jia Ren had a plan. The next step was to perfect his choice by rging all four Treasured Lights—the three existing ones plus Forbidden Magic Radiance—into one, and then refining a corresponding Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure. This was tantamount to creating a Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure from scratch, no easy feat. However, he had perford a similar operation before; the Final Law Treasure Mirror had been crafted using this thod. Re-conceiving other types of Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures would take considerable ti; he only needed to add prohibition-class Heavenly Spirit Material and Inscriptions to the existing foundation of the Dusk Treasured Light. Prohibition-class Heavenly Treasure Patterns were not hard to find, as the Lingbao Sect had plenty of existing examples to choose from. Having recently found more than eighty pieces of Heavenly Spirit Material in the Vast Wave Realm, he had an abundant supply of materials. Once the new Refining Technique was perfected, he could begin Artifact Refining.
Jia Ren frequented the Refining Palace, seeking the collective wisdom of the Heaven-reaching Refiners. If others were willing to help, why reinvent the wheel in isolation? Although the Refining Level of the Lingbao Sect’s Heaven-reaching Refiners was not as high as his own, they were well-versed in the way of Artifact Refining and had valuable insights. The clash of different knowledge and thought processes often facilitated breakthroughs. When the Heaven-reaching Refiners saw Jia Ren take the initiative to approach them, they were overjoyed and imdiately put aside their current work. The discussions regarding the Prohibition Treasure Mirror beca heated, and the exchange was greatly beneficial to everyone.
「One month later」
Jia Ren returned, filled with new insights into the Refining Technique. He entered seclusion to focus on Artifact Refining!
The Heaven-Earth lting Furnace reappeared, used for both Alchemy and Artifact Refining. This refining session was unlike past ones, as the Heaven-reaching Refiners stood at a distance to observe and learn. Jia Ren’s status had changed; there was no longer any need to hide his skills. Refining in public was a way to guide the Artifact Refiners of the Lingbao Sect and to repay them for assisting in perfecting the Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure-level Prohibition Treasure Mirror.
"Heaven-Earth lting Furnace!"
The Heaven-Earth lting Furnace quickly condensed in the sky.
"Bring forth the fire!"
The Southern Ming Separation Fire appeared, settling beneath the Heaven-Earth lting Furnace and burning vigorously, fueled by nature’s spiritual energy. Jia Ren had previously attempted Alchemy and Artifact Refining with the Phoenix Fla, the Southern Ming Separation Fire, and the Ashen Flas, and he now had a clear answer in his heart. The Ashen Flas were the most powerful—being a composite-type fla—though slightly less stable. The Phoenix Fla could not compare to the Southern Ming Separation Fire. This was the conclusion he had reached after nurous attempts.
As the Southern Ming Separation Fire ignited, countless white flas crawled over the body of the furnace. Jia Ren took out the Heavenly Spirit Material, the Absolute Law Inkstone, and threw it into the furnace first. The Absolute Law Inkstone was notoriously difficult to refine. It had always strongly resisted Spiritual Power, Spells, Divine Skills, and Strange Fire, yet under the Southern Ming Separation Fire, it only lasted for the ti it takes to brew half a cup of tea. Pure black liquid continuously diminished as tens of thousands of white fla needles wove through the inky liquid. Vast quantities of impurities vanished, and any dross within the material that could affect Artifact Refining was completely incinerated.
Myriad gazes, complex and indescribable, were fixed upon him. They indeed wanted to learn... but the problem was, they couldn’t. Not to ntion they didn’t have the Southern Ming Separation Fire, being able to control a hundred flow needle filants with the Treasure Refining thod already qualified one as a master. Those who could control a thousand such needles were few and far between. Simultaneously manipulating tens of thousands of these flowing needle filants was a realm they could never reach in their lifetis; they could only look up in awe. Artifact Refining beca Jia Ren’s solo performance, leaving the Heaven-reaching Refiners present utterly awestruck. Their eyes had learned it, but their hands could not perform.
「Ti flew by, and in the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.」
The Heaven-Earth lting Furnace finally extinguished its fire, dissolving into pure Spiritual Energy that dispersed into the world. At this point, the Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure was finally refined! Jia Ren’s Artifact Refining skills had beco increasingly proficient. Combined with the Vermilion Bird’s Southern Ming Separation Fire, which had reached its growth phase, he had managed to compress the ti needed to refine a Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure to a re ten years.
From the embers of the Heaven-Earth lting Furnace, a pitch-black, lightless mirror erged, seeming to swallow all sight. The surrounding nature’s spiritual energy seed drawn towards the mirror, continuously flowing into it. The Artifact Refiners present felt the area rapidly becoming a Soul-Extinction zone as the Spiritual Power within their bodies was uncontrollably drained away. So instinctively tried to use Divine Skills to stop the Spiritual Power from leaving their bodies, but their attempts repeatedly failed, leaving them horrified. Is this the effect of the Prohibition Treasure Mirror?!
From this point on, the Lingbao Sect’s legacy included one more Heaven-reaching Refining thod!
It’s ti to undergo the tribulation!
Jia Ren put away the Prohibition Treasure Mirror, which was still wreaking havoc on the Lingbao Sect and the Artifact Refiners, and looked up at the sky. The Breath of Stars Barrier did not block his sight. He could vaguely sense heaven and earth resonating, as if a tribulation for the Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure was about to form. He transford into a streak of Escape Light, carrying the treasure as he flew out of the Lingbao Sect.
Without the Breath of Stars Barrier to impede it, tribulation clouds quickly ford, strands of lightning dancing within them. This wasn’t Jia Ren’s first ti facing a Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure Tribulation. With a shake of his body, he transford into the Thunder Roc Form. The Thunder Roc inherently possessed the talent to control lightning, capable of absorbing the full force of the Heavenly Tribulation—the thod that maximized benefits. Lightning descended, and Jia Ren, as usual, interfered with the Heavenly Tribulation. If the Mysterious Realm possessed a world will, it would surely be enraged; this habitual offender had struck again! Lightning power and tribulation qi converged with astonishing speed. The tribulation clouds beca three tis denser than before, and the affected area expanded tenfold. It was like the rage of heaven and earth, a terrifying pressure that made breathing difficult.
Success!
Seeing the Heavenly Tribulation surge, Jia Ren didn’t hesitate. With a flap of his Thunder Roc wings, he soared into the tribulation clouds, where countless cyan-blue bolts of lightning danced around him without causing the slightest harm. With his great beak agape, he began to devour the lightning power. Countless bolts of lightning surged into his body, comncing a new round of Body Refinent. In re monts, the Thunder Roc had drained the tribulation clouds dry. Sunlight pierced through the shattered clouds, falling upon the earth. Nurous arcs of lightning danced continuously over the Thunder Roc’s body; not a single strand of lightning could escape. The tribulation power coursed through his body, activating its hidden potential and increasing his internal vitality. His Immortal Physique was enhanced once again, and the speed at which he could regenerate limbs significantly increased.
The Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure, the Prohibition Treasure Mirror, passed its Heavenly Tribulation and gained sentience. Jia Ren returned with this treasure.
"Thank you, Grand Elder, for your guidance on Artifact Refining!"
The Heaven-reaching Refiners thanked Jia Ren one after another. His thods of refining and material handling were vastly different from those traditionally used in the Lingbao Sect. His techniques were more outstanding than the traditional thods passed down in the Lingbao Sect, and watching his Artifact Refining had been extrely beneficial. At the very least, the ti it would take for the Heaven-reaching Refiners present to refine Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures would now be shortened. For this reason alone, coming to observe the Grand Elder’s Artifact Refining had been well worth their ti.
Jia Ren addressed questions from several Heaven-reaching Refiners, not stingy in sharing his knowledge.
「By the ti he finished, it was deep into the night.」
The Prohibition Treasure Mirror was incorporated into the Demon-Sealing Pagoda System, becoming a treasure that could constantly grow stronger. The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower provided Sacrificial Fire to help this treasure grow stronger. When the Forbidden Magic Radiance reached Mahayana Level Perfection, it would be ti to cultivate The Seventh Path’s Dusk Treasured Light.
Jia Ren returned to his residence and communicated with the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower with his thoughts. The long-accumulated Heavenly Treasure Spirit Power flowed into his body continuously, rapidly transforming into his Cultivation Level. His Cultivation Level progressed slowly, bit by bit. His cultivation progress increased by less than ten percent.
At this rate, even with the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower aiding my cultivation, it will still take one hundred and fifty years to reach Combined Body Perfection.
