Chapter 39 Yuanhe Radiant Mirror
Chapter 39 Yuanhe Radiant Mirror
After arranging the mining matters and checking on the Gold-Eating Insects and Xiao Wu, who had already found a suitable location to build their nests, Chen Liang returned to the ground.
The ancient spirit-binding array set up by Chen Liang covered an area including the entrance to the mine. The sparse vegetation that was already there had become visibly lush as the spiritual energy from the spiritual vein below flowed out.
So Chen Liang used local materials in this area, including the Hunyuan Stone and some century-old ironwood from his storage bag, to build a sizable courtyard.
After finishing all that, Chen Liang entered a spacious room with a skylight and began refining his natal magic weapon.
First, Chen Liang took out a piece of Transformation Divine Mud that he had unexpectedly found in the spirit stone mine in this area.
It can combine various different types of heaven and earth energy into one, making it a top-tier spiritual material highly sought after by Nascent Soul cultivators.
Then Chen Liang took out a portion of Five Spirit Liquid (actually the spring water of the Spirit Eye Spring, commonly known as Five Spirit Liquid), put the Transformation Divine Mud into it, and ground it carefully.
In this way, Chen Liang finally obtained the Divine Ink of Transformation that he desired.
Next, Chen Liang took out some of the five metal spiritual materials that accompanied the Five Elements Jade, melted them with the Three-Colored Fire Lotus, and temporarily sealed them away.
Finally, the main material of the magic weapon—a five-element jade the size of a washbasin—makes its appearance.
As the basin-sized Five Elements Jade turned into jade juice under the scorching heat of the Three-Colored Fire Lotus, Chen Liang poured the Divine Ink into it and began to shape the magic weapon.
During this process, Chen Liang had to multitask. On one hand, he polished the surface of the magic weapon into a smooth mirror shape, and on the other hand, he had to use the Divine Ink of One Transformation to engrave the Blood Refining Treasure Restriction, the Gathering Yuan Dao Pattern, and the Five-Colored Divine Light Divine Dao Pattern inside the magic weapon that had not been completely cooled.
Among them, the Blood Refining Treasure Restriction is the most complicated, occupying the core area of the magic treasure, while the Gathering Yuan Dao Pattern and the Five-Colored Divine Light Dao Pattern can only be displayed on the outside.
Once the mirror-shaped magic weapon had completely cooled down, Chen Liang took out the five metal spiritual materials that had been melted earlier and used them to forge a frame for the mirror-shaped magic weapon.
In the end, Chen Liang crafted a colorful jade mirror magic weapon. Its surface was dazzling and colorful, but the frame was slightly dull, with a faint black hue.
Then, Chen Liang forced out a drop of essence blood from between his eyebrows and dripped it onto the surface of the jade mirror magic weapon.
When the essence blood encounters a treasure, it transforms and quickly seeps into the interior of the jade mirror magic treasure, permeating the Gathering Yuan Dao Pattern, the Five-Colored Divine Light Dao Pattern, and most importantly, the Blood Refining Treasure Restriction.
From then on, this magic weapon became Chen Liang's natal magic weapon, growing stronger as Chen Liang's cultivation improved.
Moreover, even if someone steals this magical artifact, they cannot use the true essence from another person to improve it even slightly, and it can only unleash less than 70% of its power for daily use.
As for its name, it was naturally something Chen Liang had already envisioned – Yuanhe Radiant Mirror.
This name embodies Chen Liang's ambition. Even if Chen Liang's clone first creates a Yuanhe Xuanguang Mirror, it does not prevent Chen Liang's main body from continuing to use this name.
After storing the Yuanhe Radiant Mirror in his dantian and allowing it to be nourished by the Three-Colored Fire Lotus, Chen Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As a Core Formation cultivator, Chen Liang always felt that something was missing because he didn't have a satisfactory natal magic weapon. Now he can finally rest assured.
After that, Chen Liang focused on his cultivation for a period of time before tackling the second important matter.
He then released his three-colored fire lotus again, and then poured a large amount of evil energy from several evil energy gourds onto it at the same time.
As the soul essence mixed with the malevolent energy was devoured by the crimson soul essence flames, the remaining mixed essence of soul energy, blood energy, yin energy, and death energy was respectively transformed into its own use by the blue-white divine consciousness fire and the gray-white primordial true fire.
In fact, Chen Liang knew from the beginning that the soul flame he had unintentionally cultivated was the legendary peerless divine power - the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.
It's just that before it truly reaches the level of supernatural powers, we don't want to casually give the Soul Flame that resounding name, which is why we haven't called out its real name yet.
The current soul flames can barely be called Red Lotus Karmic Flames.
In addition, there is the Primordial True Fire cultivated by Chen Liang, which originates from the Primordial True Scripture, an unprecedented and supreme cultivation technique in the human realm.
Aside from the temporary inability to convert soul essence and soul thoughts into its own use, the Primordial True Fire can devour all other things in the world, making it undoubtedly a peerless divine power.
As for the divine consciousness fire born from Chen Liang's mutated divine consciousness, since it can coexist with the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and the Primordial True Fire, its status is self-evident.
Therefore, Chen Liang's strongest supernatural power is no longer the Five-Colored Spiritual Light, nor the newly cultivated Five-Colored Divine Light, but the Three-Colored Fire Lotus that he has not used in combat.
However, no Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly went crazy, forcing Chen Liang to use this strongest divine power.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that these evil energy gourds are a stockpile accumulated from the turbulent years of the Chaotic Star Sea, and are not the evil energy gourds that Chen Liang brought from Tiannan.
Those evil-inducing gourds were used up a long time ago.
Chen Liang was watering the three-colored fire lotus with a large amount of baleful energy because he planned to use the abundant resources of the Chaotic Star Sea to cultivate a powerful second clone.
Only after all the evil energy in these gourds from the same burial site had completely dissipated did Chen Liang use the Soul Splitting Technique to split a soul from his own.
After this split soul appeared in the world, it also took advantage of the time when Chen Liang's main body poured a large amount of soul essence and true essence into it to cultivate the "Primordial Chaos True Scripture" in order to achieve a higher level of cultivation after the split soul appeared.
When a real and authentic figure appeared before Chen Liang, Chen Liang's second clone, which was also destined to be the most bloodthirsty clone, was officially born.
Like the first clone, the first thing the second clone did after opening its eyes was to examine its own body and the original body in front of it.
Then, he stretched out his hand to the original person and said, "Give it to me, my share."
Upon hearing this, Chen Liang handed him a storage bag containing some spirit stones, a gourd of evil energy, cultivation pills, and the pseudo-magic weapon, the Sword of Chasing Light. These were the initial assets that Chen Liang had prepared in advance for his second clone.
The second clone naturally accepted the storage bag. Although the first clone took the Five-Light Pearl, a rare treasure, the second clone only obtained the Light-Chasing Sword, a pseudo-magic weapon, which seemed to be a bit of a loss.
However, the second clone possessed the cultivation level of the early Core Formation stage from the moment it was born, which was a much better start than the first clone.
Afterwards, the second clone began to stabilize its cultivation. Chen Liang, meanwhile, absorbed the still-bright three-colored fire lotus into his dantian and continued to refine the golden core.
A few days later, the second clone left Biling Island with a seed of a three-colored fire lotus, looking murderous, to hunt demons outside, because that would allow him to grow faster.
Since the birth of the Three-Colored Fire Lotus, both Chen Liang's main body and his clones have relied on its pure soul essence and true essence for cultivation, thus achieving rapid breakthroughs.
This remains true even at the Core Formation stage; in fact, the main source of power for refining the Yuan Marrow is the Three-Colored Fire Lotus.
Compared to watering the Three-Colored Fire Lotus with malevolent energy, feeding it with the corpses of living beings is undoubtedly more effective.
The so-called "evil energy" is, to put it bluntly, the mixed essence produced when a living being dies. Its amount is less than one ten-thousandth of the essence of the living being in life. Only the corpse of a living being retains most of its essence from its previous life.
Therefore, feeding the corpses of living beings to the Three-Colored Fire Lotus will make it grow faster. And the faster the Three-Colored Fire Lotus grows, the faster Chen Liang's cultivation speed will be. This is the same for both Chen Liang himself and his clone.
Interestingly, among all the corpses of living beings, the corpses of demonic beasts often contain the most essence.
The Chaotic Star Sea is full of man-eating monsters, so once the journey of slaying monsters begins, the cultivation speed of both Chen Liang's main body and his clone will advance by leaps and bounds again.
However, Chen Liang himself had been preoccupied with too many things and had not had time to go out and hunt demons.
But the second clone didn't have these troubles, so after obtaining the three-colored fire lotus seed separated from the main body, he went out to hunt demons, and he also took half of the gold-devouring insects with him to clean up low-level demon beasts.
