Chapter 1132 1126: CDIS, Stars & All
Bai Xiu's eyes sparkled with wild anticipation as her beautiful little face formed a manic grin. The rarity and uniqueness of the items thus far surpassed her expectations. These items and materials were all heavenly treasures in their own right, ones that can only be stumbled upon and never created. Even the Yang Source Quintessence was impossibly rare, as only those at the Resonant Soul Realm, beings beyond the Mystic Ascendant Realm, have the power to extract a Yang Source Quintessence by force without bringing it harm.
If the cultivator hadn't harmed himself permanently, rending his soul by extracting it through a profound method, this object wouldn't exist. Not only was it a Yang Source Quintessence, but it also contained the qualities of the Renewal Yang Physique, capable of replenishing itself. This physique contained a Unique Intent that was no less profound than the Nirvanic Flames Intent.
Next, Wei Wuyin brought out a large bottle of golden lightning. Despite being deeply sealed, it crackled throughout the alchemic chambers, releasing a surge of electricity that induced hair-raising phenomena. Wei Wuyin's eyes lit, exerting his Mana Dominance of four Zenith Origin State Astral Souls, and the crackling abated obediently.
This was Sky-World Lightning Essence!
Wei Wuyin had obtained it from the Myriad Gravestone Poison User, the sadistic woman without a face, and it was originally meant for Jing Jiu, a karmic fortune designed by the Heavenly Daos for him to complete his Origin State cultivation. Unfortunately for Jing Jiu, Wei Wuyin rode on his Karmic Luck and obtained it instead.
It was said that the Origin State allowed comprehension of Mystic Intent to be easier, and smoother, and that was correct. Wei Wuyin hadn't reached the Star Core Phase, so despite having all his potential and foundational advantages, he hadn't gotten to the point where he could form Mystic Intent.
It would be better to say that the Mystic Dao refused to allow him to grasp its will, emulating it and executing control over its vast power, as he currently was.
Then, Wei Wuyin's eyes grew abnormally focused as he took out a glistening shard of metal that was shaped somewhat like a triangle. This was another piece of fortune��his own. When he was casually talking to Wu Yu, he felt a sting to his consciousness, a warning of the Bloodline of Sin, and then felt a ripple streak through the Dark Void that stimulated his Zenith Origin State Astral Souls.
Curious, he exerted his powers over the void and grasped it from afar, bringing it over without much thought. After conferring with the Palace of Eden's stores of information, he learned that this was a piece of a Heavenly World Core. It was a profound treasure containing Heavenly Mana, a mixture of Heavenly Chaos and Mystic-graded Mana. It could be used to power a Mystic-World level array or cultivate certain cultivation methods that can create or elevate a cultivator's Origin State.
Wei Wuyin waved his hand as two more surfaced on the table, humming slightly as they resonated with each other. These were all part of the same Heavenly World Core. Wei Wuyin had tracked these three down curiously, finding one embedded deeply within a rogue planet, and another surrounded by Stellar Rain on a devastated Voidship within a long-deceased starfield.
Wei Wuyin knew there were likely more, but finding these two already exhausted a lot of time. Furthermore, his Spiritual Sense might be vast, but the Dark Void was even vaster. It would take years to scour across territories, not to mention doing so overtly in the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region would bring about all sorts of complications.
Unfortunately, only he could locate them after they'd entered their hibernation state. So they were fortunes that could be stumbled upon, not found unless you already possessed an Origin State Astral Soul or Mystic Soul.
"They're useless to me," Wei Wuyin thought solemnly. These shards of a Heavenly World Core were valuable, simply not to him, a possessor of a Zenith Origin State. Moreover, he had already been in the process of creating the Neo-Dawn Origin Paste, already nearing its completion, and had long since finished it.
Shortly after learning about the Forsaken Zenith, Unto Origin Method from Jing Jiu, Wei Wuyin realized that his way of thinking was wrong; he didn't need to replicate the Sky-World Lightning Tribulation to recreate Origin State but could do so by gathering ambient mana and condensing it, generating a mote of Origin Essence. This method followed the same path that those four knuckleheads performed, continuously condensing the Sky-World Lightning before refining it.
They directly jumped to the Zenith Origin State!
"The Neo-Dawn Spirit-Origin Paste is formed by using the Origin Essence I've condensed through the four Astral Souls' Mana Dominance and Forsaken Zenith, Unto Origin Method's process, and then intermixed that with various materials that can stimulate Spirits of Cultivation. I've even had to extract Everlore Essence from Everlore Ascension Pills to process the paste and safely allow easy integration." Wei Wuyin thought back to his process, creating this peak-tier, ninth-grade product that could create the Origin State of Spirits of Cultivation.
Unfortunately, despite his continuous efforts, even transcendent versions of the paste only allowed Origin States to reach the 4th level, with low, high, and peak quality products corresponding to 1st Origin State, 2nd Origin State, and 3rd Origin State respectively.
It seemed his four reckless monsters really performed an inconceivable feat during his Sky-World Lightning Astral Tribulation. Unfortunately, the Heavenly World Core fragments' Heavenly Mana could at most reach the 2nd Origin State through the cultivation methods in alternative Wei Wuyin's memories, and he would need a larger shard or a complete Heavenly World Core for better results.
This meant this shard that cost 423 Karmic Luck Value was entirely worthless to him. It was too small to act as a power source.
"You'll be suitable nevertheless," Wei Wuyin set it aside for later. Regardless of its loss of significance for cultivation, it was extremely useful for concoctions. It was Heavenly Mana, and it contained a stable form of Mystic-graded Mana intermixed with Heavenly Chaos. He already calculated his future concoction plans.
"This product will be a mixture of mortal and mystic, so it will definitely help for coagulation during the Transformation Stage." Wei Wuyin settled on its purpose and brought out the next object, no, objects! With a flourish of his sleeve, dozens of spherical and colorful orbs floated above the Neo-Dawn Ascension Cauldron
"Oh!" Bai Xiu exclaimed, "Divinity Spheres! So many!"
Each orb was a Divinity Sphere, a unique physique-refining treasure! They contained all sorts of attributes, from Yin, Yang, Martial, and Warring Martial, to Lightning, Fire, and even Space, Time, and Gravity. There were all types present!
They could generate the foundation for an Earth-Refined Physique, often used in conjunction with Earth-rank Cultivation Methods to do so. With these objects, it could ensure your physique could handle a higher Rune Seed Ascension!
Sometimes, cultivators weren't just limited by their comprehension of the path of cultivation, but by their physiques as well. To possess tremendous power, to contain the will of the Mystic Dao, one needed an equally powerful container!
Wei Wuyin had collected these over the years, with some of the harder-to-obtain ones found in the Soldier's List at the Battlefield for upwards of 1,200 War Souls with the lowest being roughly 20 War Souls.
After inspecting each sphere, Wei Wuyin nodded approvingly.
Then, Wei Wuyin brought out the item that sparked the solidification of his idea entirely, not just direction, but entirely: the Ultimate Astralis Star!
The miniaturized Solar Star floated on its own power, spinning on its axis, and exuding scintillating rays of solar light and unrefined essence. It has the qualities of a Solar Star to the exact but was miniature. In fact, Wei Wuyin knew the difference between a Solar Star generated by Ma Zheng, a Solar Star made natural using his Elemental Origin Energy, and this Solar Star.
This Solar Star was blessed by the Mortal Dao. If the Heavenly Daos had Blessed, then the Mortal Dao had objects by which they received blessings, and this was one of them. A rare object that could manifest an Ultimate Astral Idol, the greatest Astral Idol!
The Mortal Dao Aura within felt natural and complete, reminiscent of the brief moment of an Astral Tribulation descending. It would probably be accurate to say that the Astralis Ultimate Star was a product of Apex-level Mortal Intent.
Wei Wuyin was awed by its sheer brilliance. No wonder that masked figure went through so much trouble to obtain it, and why they were thoroughly enraged upon seeing his plans ruined, especially when Wei Wuyin split it in half. Unfortunately, upon further study, Wei Wuyin knew half wasn't enough to form an Ultimate Astral Idol for him, especially not four of them.
Therefore, his plan to use it to concoct this product was the best, and unbeknownst to him, the greatest decision he could make.
"It's an Astralis Ultimate Star!" Bai Xiu was in awe as she floated over, her eyes glued to the star. "But��it's smaller than I remember," she said doubtfully.
Wei Wuyin bitterly smiled; after being cut in half, the star had shrunk as it regained its spherical shape.
"Is that it?" Bai Xiu felt more and more shaken by all the items that Wei Wuyin was bringing out, especially the shards carrying Heavenly Mana and the Astralis Ultimate Star.
Wei Wuyin shook his head, "There's one last item." With that, Wei Wuyin brought out the last item that completed his intentions entirely, an item tainted so thoroughly by the will of the Mortal Dao and Mystic Dao that neither could claim ownership of it. An item born from the process of countless years!
While it wasn't the rarest or had the greatest value out of all the items, it was the most crucial! It was the core material of the entire product!
"Crystal Essence of Ascension!" He brought out the treasure of the Golden Life Pavilion, his heart slightly racing at the moment. His decades of experiences and events, his choices and efforts, his study of the Alchemic Dao, his constant seeking out for inspiration driven by his ingenuity, and his never-ending determination to pursue higher heights had led to this moment.
Bai Xiu asked, "We're ready?"
Wei Wuyin looked at the crystallized Solar Essence in his hand, feeling its profound aura, and he nodded heavily. "We're ready."
