Chapter 164: Chapter 157: First Refinement and Autonomous Floating Cannon (Double-Length Chapter)

Jeming temporarily suppressed the various thoughts that arose in his mind and turned his attention to another matter.

At the final juncture of crafting the Profound Gang Red Dust Barrier, the dazzling light that broke through the boundary between reality and illusion brought him the opportunity to re-refine his Lifebound Magical Treasure.

The Light of Creation, the final core material needed to re-refine the “Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror.”

The materials needed to re-refine the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror are not complex; they are still various concepts of light.

Jeming had already collected the other materials long ago, but the most crucial “Light of Creation” had always been elusive.

It wasn’t until the moment the Profound Gang Red Dust Barrier was completed and the light burst forth that Jeming had an epiphany.

The so-called “Light of Creation” represents the moment of creation from nothing, the origin light at the moment of life’s sprout, which can only be sensed and captured at the instant of extreme energy aggregation.

Although the manufacturing technique of the Profound Gang Red Dust Barrier is simple, the materials required are not “low-end,” enabling the Light of Creation to burst forth upon forming.

With a gesture from within, the originally quiet “Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror” suspended deep in his Dantian immediately responded and appeared.

Having undergone so many years of sacrificial refinement, this magical treasure no longer showed off as it did when first refined, looking just like an ordinary ancient bronze round mirror, appearing unremarkable.

“With the Light of Creation obtained, today seems to be your opportunity too.” Jeming muttered to himself, gazing at the copper mirror.

The ancient bronze mirror radiated a faint glow in response, seemingly expressing its joy as well.

Due to the special materials used in refining, the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror inherently possesses the characteristic of being between reality and illusion.

Its true core is an aggregate of the illusory concept of light.

This unique structure allows it to undergo continuous re-refinement through an artifact refining technique called “Transformation.”

Each “Transformation” signifies a significant enhancement in the quality and power of the magical treasure.

Re-refining once is a “First Transformation,” re-refining twice is a “Second Transformation,” and the higher the transformation number, the more powerful the magical treasure becomes.

Over the years, Jeming had never relaxed his sacrificial refinement of the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror.

He would nourish the magical treasure daily with his own pure True Essence and periodically carefully manipulate the Red Dust Qi to repeatedly polish its spirit.

Years of effort not only made the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror more aligned with his soul but also elevated its spirit to the standard where it could carry higher-level concepts for the first “Transformation.”

Cultivation Immortality values opportunity, and seeing the timing was right, Jeming regained some True Essence, sat cross-legged again, and suspended the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror in front of him.

He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and entered a state of ethereal artifact refining.

Spiritual power surged like tides, completely enveloping the magical treasure.

“Scatter!”

He uttered softly, his fingers danced in the void, sketching complex arrays of runes.

These talismans inscribed directly in the void shimmered with light, resonating with the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror.

Under the guidance of spiritual power and talismans, the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror began to tremble and hum, its bronze round mirror form gradually became blurred and distorted.

Finally, with a “poof,” the shape of the bronze mirror completely dissipated into the air, leaving only the core five pure rainbow lights floating before Jeming.

This is the first step, shedding common form, leaving only its essence.

Next comes reshaping.

Jeming took out various pre-prepared light concepts and threw them toward the rainbow lights.

Under the control of the artifact refining spell, the core of the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror began to split and reform.

Soon, the new materials were absorbed by the core rainbow lights, and the entire mass of light quickly condensed into the shape of a mirror under Jeming’s manipulation.

But no matter how it condensed, these lights couldn’t regain shape and substance.

Next is the most critical step.

Jeming carefully guided the Light of Creation, inadvertently captured during the crafting of the Profound Gang Red Dust Barrier, to the center of the light-formed mirror.

The Light of Creation, carrying the mystical breath of creation from nothing, fused with the core of the light concept.

However, the process of fusion did not go smoothly.

Each light concept has its unique nature, with mutual attraction and repulsion.

Originally, the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror contained five light concepts, and now with Jeming’s additions, the number of light concepts doubled, increasing the conflicts among them.

When the Light of Creation merged in, the five clusters of light concepts began to tremble violently, their glow flickering, seemingly on the verge of collapse at any moment.

Jeming’s entire True Essence and spiritual power were being consumed madly; he constantly adjusted the Rune Array, maintaining energy balance, using his will to resolve concept conflicts, steering them toward fusion.

Fortunately, he had prior successful refining experience, so it wasn’t too difficult.

“Merge!” Jeming growled low, pressing in the last trace of Light of Creation.

In an instant, the five clusters of light concepts contracted suddenly, then, with the point of Light of Creation as a guide, erupted with unprecedented brilliant light!

Jeming’s eyes lit up, freeing one hand to cast a spell at the light.

Under the guidance of the spell, another cluster of identical Light of Creation quickly condensed in Jeming’s palm.

This is the terror of concept material; it can completely self-produce and even increase out of thin air.

Having this cluster of Light of Creation makes collecting materials for the Second Transformation much easier.
