Cultivating in the Wizard World-Chapter 323 - 289: Magical Treasure Second Advancement
Not long after, the enormous Cross-plane Teleportation Array lit up with a dazzling light in the center of the square.
Anita, along with other graduates sharing the same fate, stepped onto the Teleportation Array with heavy steps, carrying complex emotions.
The light swallowed their figures, taking away everything they had in the academy, whether glory or regret.
Jeming looked expressionless at the light of the Teleportation Array gradually dimming, until it completely disappeared.
He neither sighed nor commented, just turned calmly, transforming into a stream of light, and returned directly to the core laboratory of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
Some paths, once chosen, must be walked alone.
Some costs must also be borne by oneself.
Back in the laboratory, he first checked the large Alchemy Array that had been operating for several years.
At the center of the Array, the originally dark red Red Gold, after several rounds of refinement and purification, had now transformed into a purely immortal conceptual entity that resembled flowing red clouds of light.
As Jeming approached a little closer, he could feel the mysterious and warm aura emanating from that cloud of light.
"The progress is good, in another two years, it will be completely successful." Jeming nodded with satisfaction, full of anticipation for the final result.
Two years passed in a flash, filled with focused waiting and research.
When the Array finally stopped operating, and the central red cloud of light stabilized, exuding a perfect and flawless Dao rhythm, Jeming knew the time had come.
He carefully wrapped it with Spiritual Power, observing the pure immortal concept that had consumed a massive amount of Gold and countless Heart Power to refine.
After confirming its quality was flawless, he divided about two-thirds of it, cautiously storing it in his internal space for future needs.
Then, with a thought, various prepared materials flew out from his internal space, suspended around him, emanating various beautiful lights.
Jeming sat cross-legged, holding his breath and concentrating his mind.
A moment later, he opened his mouth and exhaled, a gentle and smooth five-colored radiance slowly emerged from his Dantian, finally solidifying above his palm, transforming into a seemingly simple and unadorned small mirror containing infinite mysteries — exactly his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror.
"Today, let me help you take another step forward!"
Jeming’s eyes sharpened, performing complicated Spells with his hands like butterflies weaving through flowers, according to the steps he had practiced countless times.
Under the combined influence of the Spell and Array, the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror quickly disintegrated into a brilliant light.
The suspended materials were added into the red immortal concept one by one, slowly merging into the light of the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror under its guidance.
The entire process was exceptionally smooth.
Jeming had already deduced every step and the characteristics of each material, as well as any possible Energy conflicts, countless times.
The "immortal" concept contained in the Red Gold perfectly matched the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror’s feature of refining myriad lights and inherent voidness, as if it infused the most fundamental foundation of "existence."
The Runes flowed, and the brilliance was restrained.
After an unknown amount of time, when the last trace of material’s Spirit Light was absorbed into the mirror body, the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror gently shook, emitting a barely audible clear sound.
Then the brilliance completely gathered, returning to its inconspicuous appearance, quietly suspended in Jeming’s palm.
Yet Jeming could clearly feel a closer connection with him, the internal structure of the mirror body became more stable and filled with potential, and its Spirituality had taken a significant leap.
Magical Treasure, accomplished!
According to the Cultivation Immortality Realm’s terms, his Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror had completed the Second Transformation.
Jeming couldn’t wait to begin testing the power after the Second Transformation.
The first test was its Spirituality.
He inserted a complex stream of data — simulating millions of variables of a new Energy circuit — into the mirror.
The surface of the mirror flashed slightly, as if countless tiny Runes inside were alive calculating, and within a few breaths, an optimal solution was fed back!
"Although it hasn’t yet borne true Spiritual Wisdom and cannot think like Artificial Intelligence to provide assistance, as an ultra-high-speed computing core, it is more than enough!" Jeming was overjoyed.
This was undoubtedly a huge help for his subsequent various complex research.
And it could also provide a great advantage in combat.
Next, he quickly left the laboratory and headed to the Purgatory Sulfur Plane to test the most core ability — Light Transformation!
With a thought, the Golden Core within him began to operate, abundant Spiritual Power poured into the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror.
The next moment, Jeming’s body suddenly became blurred, ultimately transforming completely into a pure light containing all his life information!
Swoosh...
The light flashed and vanished, instantly penetrating through the multiple Restrictions beside the Teleportation Array, piercing the thick atmosphere of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
Moving at a speed reaching the extreme limits of conventional physical concepts, it soared into the distance!
When the Light Transformation state was about to reach its limit, Jeming’s form reassembled in a desolate area.
He estimated the distance slightly, his face showing a look of shock.
"The duration... doubled!"
Originally, when the Golden Core was first formed, he could only maintain the Light Transformation state for one-tenth of a second, now he could achieve one fifth of a second!
In this extremely short amount of time, the light he transformed into could cross a hundred thousand miles!
Not only that, he clearly felt that after the Second Transformation, the Light Transformation became even more "pure."
He was no longer just simulating light, but in that brief moment, he became the light itself!
This meant that unless an enemy’s defensive means could fundamentally block, deflect, or absorb "light," no matter how thick the Energy Shield or how strong the barrier, as long as it could still let light through, it was all but useless when he was in the Light Transformation state!
With a shift in thought, the light scattered, and Jeming’s form fully recondensed again.
A strong sense of weakness struck instantly, although much lighter than during the first Light Transformation, it still caused his figure to sway and he involuntarily fell.
With a "plop," Jeming fell into a river of flowing molten lava scorching enough to melt steel.
Lying in the lava, feeling the warmth and recovery brought by the automatic operation of the Body Refining Technique, not only was Jeming not discouraged, but the brilliance in his eyes became even more intense.
"The sense of weakness has lessened... Is it because of the stability of the Golden Core and the feedback of the Magical Treasure?" He carefully savored the state of his body, "It seems it’s time to put adaptive training on the agenda."
Actually, he had had this idea before, but there really wasn’t room for him to train at the time.
Jeming decided to set aside a fixed time every day from now on to perform a Light Transformation once.
He wanted his body and soul to fully familiarize and adapt to the load brought by this transformation of life forms.
Through Adaptive Evolution of the Body Refining Technique, he aimed to shorten the period of weakness after Light Transformation to the limit, and even... completely overcome it!
(I’ve been drafted into labor, taking a leave in advance, taking a day off tomorrow.)
