Chapter 452 - 372: Perfection of Volume 1
Within the palace, starlight poured down like flowing water, converging into a semi-transparent shadow of a domain at the center of the hall — it was exactly Chen Sheng’s Great Void Domain.
He sat cross-legged, suspended above the center of the domain, with the time-space core gifted by Brother Taiyuan resting on his palm.
The colorless crystal, illuminated by starlight, had intricate time-space patterns inside that flowed like living creatures, emitting a stable and profound Dao Rhyme.
"Go!"
With a light shout, the time-space core transformed into a stream of light, precisely embedding itself into the central position of the Great Void Domain.
As soon as the crystal touched the domain, it burst forth with millions of silver-white beams, spreading like a web to every corner of the domain.
The previously fragmented cracks at the domain’s edge, formed by chaotic time-space flows, healed rapidly under the cover of the silver-white beams.
The originally unstable domain barrier now glimmered with a gentle sheen like a void jade, and even the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Realm could smoothly enter the domain along the beams’ trajectory.
He could clearly perceive that the time-space structure of the Great Void Domain was being reshaped, with the time-space core acting like a Stabilizing Needle, firmly anchoring the domain’s time-space laws.
The domain spontaneously absorbed energy from the depths of the Great Void, transforming it into exceptionally pure Spiritual Qi, which rapidly condensed in the stable time-space environment.
Chen Sheng nodded: "Not bad, with the stabilizing of the domain’s time-space, the growth rate is estimated to increase by thirty percent."
But even with a thirty percent increase, it’s not that fast!
Normally, for a Void Refining Cultivator to evolve a domain, it would take thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and many people are stuck at the verge of their lifespan before they can evolve the domain to the next level.
Chen Sheng had experienced the kind of rapid progress from a demon’s Yin Soul, so he looked down on the normally slow evolution.
...
After dealing with the stabilization of the Great Void Domain.
Chen Sheng raised his hand and softly called. A black and white stream of light then soared from the depths of the domain, landing steadily in his palm — it was the Cyan Nether Sword that had accompanied him for many years.
The sword trembled lightly, and the figure of a young man in a cyan robe emerged from the sword, with determination in his eyes, precisely the Cyan Nether Sword Spirit.
Chen Sheng looked at him, with a hint of expectation in his tone:
"Cyan Nether, this time using the Star Iron of Meteorites for refining is the key for you to advance to a Tier Six Ancient Treasure, cooperate with all your strength."
This sword had been at his side since his Golden Core Stage, re-forged the sword spine with Primordial Mother Gold during the Nascent Soul Stage, and tempered the blade with Abyssal Ice Marrow during the Divinity Transformation Stage, ascending all the way from mundane iron to a Tier Five Dao Artifact.
Under his nurturing, the Sword Spirit had also grown from initial instinctive buzzing intelligence to the mature Sword Spirit it was today.
"Understood, Master."
The Cyan Nether Sword Spirit, usually calm and unruffled, couldn’t hide his excitement at this moment.
He slightly bowed and turned into a cyan light to merge back into the sword, instantly brightening the Yin Yang Dao Pattern on the sword.
Chen Sheng nodded, and with a movement of his Yang Spirit, a head-sized piece of Star Iron flew out from the Storage Ring.
The Divine Iron, once out of the Storage Ring, spontaneously floated above the Cyan Nether Sword, with thousands of sesame-sized miniature stars embedded on its surface, each slowly rotating and emitting the pure Star Power from the top of the Star Tower.
Upon appearance, it resonated intensely with the Yin Yang Dao Pattern on the Cyan Nether Sword!
"Zheng——" A clear and resounding sword cry echoed, causing minute ripples in the palace’s void.
"With Dao as the guide, refine!"
With a low shout from Chen Sheng, the light golden "End" character mark on his forehead abruptly lit up, and a refined wisp-like Dao Rhyme of Echoing End shot from the mark, accurately entering the Cyan Nether Sword.
This Dao Rhyme was the essence he comprehended from the "Five Volumes of the End," both a furnace and threads to perfectly stitch the Star Iron’s origin with the foundation of the Cyan Nether Sword.
As the Dao Rhyme entered the sword, the Cyan Nether Sword erupted with dazzling black and white brilliance, spreading like a canopy, firmly enveloping the Star Iron.
The black and white qi rapidly spun, forming a miniature Yin Yang Vortex. Under such refinement, the Star Iron eventually turned into a puddle of silvery-gray molten iron, with specks of starlight floating on its surface, resembling a river of melting stars.
"Follow the pattern, imbue stars as the backbone!"
Chen Sheng guided in a deep voice, as the Yin Yang Dao Pattern on the Cyan Nether Sword suddenly changed its flow trajectory, forming dense grooves through which the silvery-gray molten iron slowly flowed, coating the sword with a layer of starlight armor.
Wherever the molten iron passed, the previously thin line on the sword’s spine grew increasingly heavy, while the edge of the blade shimmered with a layer of chilling starlight.
Simultaneously, the Power of Star Origin contained within the Star Iron permeated into the deepest parts of the sword, bearing the profound rhythm of star movements.
Sometimes arranged like the Big Dipper, other times pouring like the Milky Way!
Chen Sheng’s fingers flickered, casting one golden spell after another like meteors, accurately landing on the Cyan Nether Sword.
Within the sword’s inner space, the Cyan Nether Sword Spirit formed seals with his hands, absorbing the influx of Star Power, and a tiny star mark also appeared on his forehead.
Time quietly passed in the refining process.
The Cyan Nether Sword Spirit autonomously led the subsequent tempering to completely merge the Star Iron’s molten with the sword.
Meanwhile, Chen Sheng sat cross-legged nearby, comprehending the "Five Volumes of the End," occasionally breaking through the Star Tower.
He split a strand of Divine Thought to monitor the refining process, occasionally casting a few spells to correct deviations.
...
As seasons changed and years went by, three hundred years slipped by in a blink of an eye.
On this day, the Great Void Domain suddenly surged with wind and clouds.
Beside Chen Sheng’s domain, the Yin Yang Qi gathered like tides, forming a black and white vortex thousands of miles in diameter, gradually opening up a small subsidiary domain.
Within the domain, stars revolved, and Yin Yang complemented each other, precisely constructing the "Cyan Nether Sword Domain" with the origin of Star Iron and the Yin-Yang Dao Domain.
