Chapter 220: Ch 220: Refining A Weapon
Ling Xiaolong told Emrys about several things this time, including but not limited to Inked Tale Omniverse, Vast Expanse of Eternity, Primordial Era, Cosmic Era, Spiritas, the establishment of the Soul Cultivation System, and more.
After all the explanations, Ling Xiaolong finally helped Emrys awaken the Soulforge Prism Orb.
According to Ling Xiaolong, although Emrys has been using the orb’s abilities in the past few years, it has yet to awaken. Now that the orb has woken up, Emrys can get help from it easily.
When the Soulforge Prism Orb was awakened, Emrys obtained a legacy. This legacy belonged to a Divine Weapon Craftsman from Chaos. That Divine Weapon Craftsman was the first and greatest craftsman of all time.
Emrys immediately learned about weapons and their grades. He was dumbfounded to learn that the lowest grade of weapon in the inheritance of that Divine Weapon Craftsman had already surpassed the scope of a universe.
In other words, if Emrys wants, he can create weapons, and the weakest of them will still be far stronger than the Eclipse Cannon he exchanged from Idris.
Of course, this happened before he exchanged the Eclipse Cannon.
This was also the reason why he exchanged the Eclipse Cannon with half a drop of Soul Essence. After all, even if he refined a weapon of the lowest grade in his memory, he can’t take it out inside a universe.
The grades of weapons in his memory from lowest to highest were Empyrean, Soulbound, Heavenly Soul Weapons, Celestial Spirit, Celestial Destroyer, Mystery Descent, and Heavenly Mystery.
Other than the inheritance of that Divine Weapon Craftsman from Chaos, he also obtained a seed. The instant he obtained this seed, it entered his Sea of Consciousness and fell deep within the Soul River, disappearing.
No matter how many times Emrys looked for it, he was unable to find this seed.
But at least, a name appeared in his mind. This name was the name of that seed. It was called Timeless Enlightenment Seed.
Other than the name, no other information about this seed appeared in his mind. When he asked Ling Xiaolong, Ling Xiaolong told Emrys that he would obtain the answer to this question on the day he entered the Spiritarium.
Ling Xiaolong then asked if Emrys wanted to refine a weapon. He can provide the needed materials. According to Ling Xiaolong, Emrys should at least try refining.
Yes, he will definitely fail, but he can obtain experience and become more familiar with the process of weapon craftsmanship.
A calculative person like Emrys, of course, could not let go of such an opportunity. He immediately agreed and just like that, he spent a few months trying to refine a weapon.
Unfortunately, he never succeeded. It is due to his insufficient strength.
At least, he managed to make himself familiar with several techniques that can be used to refine a weapon.
He could have succeeded in refining the last weapon. He had reached the last step but failed to due to not having enough Cosmic Energy.
According to Ling Xiaolong, he could have succeeded in refining an Empyrean Weapon if his cultivation had been a little higher.
It has to be known that Emrys was already an Ordinary Cosmic Apprentice. Ordinary Cosmic Apprentices are people who have already risen above the level of the universe. If Emrys had just a little more Cosmic Energy reserve in his Cosmic Essence Core, he could have succeeded in creating his first weapon.
Before leaving the space, Emrys received a lot of materials from Ling Xiaolong for free. Ling Xiaolong didn’t hesitate to give Emrys enough materials required to refine thousands of Empyrean Weapons.
Ling Xiaolong’s goal was simple, he wanted to train Emrys and make him very strong as soon as possible.
Since that’s the case, why would he hesitate to provide materials? But of course, he didn’t give Emrys a single material that could be used to refine a Soulbound Weapon.
Before Emrys left, Ling Xiaolong told Emrys that Emrys could contact him by activating the Soulforge Prism Orb with his Soul Force.
.....
This time, Emrys entered the cultivation room and took out the Soulforge Prism Orb because he wanted to try to contact Ling Xiaolong and ask him to send him back to the Arkhaven.
He used his Soul Force to activate the Soulforge Prism Orb, intending to contact Ling Xiaolong.
As expected, Ling Xiaolong’s shadow appeared and asked what he wanted. Emrys contacted him a lot sooner than he had expected.
When Emrys told Ling Xiaolong that he wanted Ling Xiaolong to send him back to the fragmented Cosmic Cultivation World, Ling Xiaolong proposed a deal.
All Emrys has to do is refine an Empyrean Grade Weapon, and he will send Emrys wherever he wants.
Now, Emrys was put in a dilemma. He didn’t have the confidence to succeed, but since this is a condition to return to the Arkhaven, Emrys accepted.
Just like that, Emrys started to refine a weapon once again.
.....
Emrys can be seen sitting in the middle of the circle. A light blue flame was burning in front of him. In the middle of the flame was a large lump of black liquid that was slowly rolling, and from time to time, some of it would fall out, causing it to look extremely terrifying.
The falling black liquid was actually the impurities in the black metal that had been constantly refined inside the blue flame.
Following the flow of time, the impurities in the black metal had been completely refined, and then Emrys threw a few more ores inside, beginning to refine them again.
When the second time he refined it without any impurities, Emrys suddenly reached out with his right hand, and Cosmic Energy in his body crazily flowed into the metal liquid and started to change in mid-air.
Under the guidance of Emrys’s Cosmic Energy, the lump of metal gradually formed a blade that was about three feet long and only two fingers wide. Very soon, the blade’s body and hilt became one.
This was just a shape, an embryo.
Following the formation of the blade embryo, Emrys waved both of his hands, using his Cosmic Energy to control the blade embryo to float in mid-air, while his hands were like butterflies, frantically releasing various techniques, forming an array of patterns with his Cosmic Energy, directly imprinting them onto the blade.
After releasing close to a thousand patterns, Emrys finally stopped, but only for a moment.
He took out an object from his storage ring, melted it, and scattered it all over the blade embryo. Then, Emrys once again began to practice a variety of complex techniques.
These techniques were actually the formations within the weapon that were used to increase the power of the attack.
Emrys only stopped when he had carved almost 5,000 patterns on the blade.
At this time, the blade that was floating in the air had already turned from a pitch-black color to a light gray due to Emrys adding materials and patterns. Although the blade had not been completely crafted, it was already extremely sharp, and even without any tests, Emrys knew that this thing would definitely be able to cut iron like mud.
He did not extend his hand to take it because Emrys knew that this was just the beginning of the forging process.
Although the patterns from before were already imprinted into the blade, it was not enough.
After thinking about it, Emrys took out a few more refining materials and started to refine them. At the same time, he started to integrate them with the floating blade.
As the flames roasted the blade, the materials that were taken out later also slowly seeped into its body until they completely disappeared.
Only then did Emrys barely manage to let out a breath of relief.
Immediately after, Emrys released yet another technique, at the same time, he used his fingers as a blade and crazily engraved all sorts of patterns on the blade’s body.
Only after nearly four hours did Emrys let out a long sigh.
Even though the refining process was extremely complicated, it was fortunate that he managed to complete a three-fourth process to refine a weapon. Only one-fourth of the process was left to be done. If he succeeded, an Empyrean Weapon will born through Emrys’s hand.
With a wave of his hand, the blade flew into Emrys’s hands.
Emrys looked at the blade closely. It was different from before when there were only about 5000 patterns on the blade. After adding various materials to the blade, the blade’s surface was already covered in dense scales.
Looking at it from afar, these scales did not seem to exist, but when held in the hand, one could clearly see them, and could even feel the grinding sensation with their hands.
If one looked closely, those scales looked like the scales of a dragon, but they were upside down.
These were actually a dragon’s reverse scale. These scales and other materials were all given to Emrys by Ling Xiaolong.
