Chapter 197: Small-Scale Space
The Luo Sheng Sword School and Mystic Sound Pavilion had no relationship, but they were fellow practitioners in the cultivation world. The Mystic Sound Pavilion even went to the extent of instructing Lord Yu to attack the Luo Sheng Sword School’s Little Master-Uncle.
As far as this matter was concerned, the Mystic Sound Pavilion had no sect style to boast of and no bottom line. So it was no wonder that the elders of Daoxuan Peak were disdainful of the Eastern Ocean clans.
Each immortal sect had its own character, which was reflected in the disciples of the sect as well as how they treated their enemies and opponents. However, when it came to the Mystic Sound Pavilion, it was a lot less meaningful.
It was not that Chen Jingzhai had any prejudice against the Mystic Sound Pavilion, not to mention that he was not even comparing it with inland clans. Nevertheless, contrasting with Emerald Wave Island, Mystic Sound Pavilion was inferior in all aspects, which was very telling on its own.
Chen Jingzhai simply despised its conduct, though he could not do anything about Mystic Sound Pavilion for the time being. After all, it was one of the three Eastern Ocean clans, and he could not provoke them with his current strength.
After resolving Lord Yu’s matters, Chen Jingzhai did not retreat to the deep ocean for his Seclusion Training.
Senior Sister Su and the others were still in the tower, and Chen Jingzhai did not want them to worry. After Chen Jingzhai’s divine sense returned to his body, he withdrew the formation and directly circulated the Presence Concealment Technique, escaping from the ocean.
It took him 12 hours to reach the Tempest Ocean. When he arrived, he entered the small-scale space with the Great Heaven Mirror.
After confirming that this small space was stable, Chen Jingzhai communicated with the tower boy, and then a ray of light flew out of Chen Jingzhai’s body.
Following that, the tower fell into a small-scale space.
“Is this place really the Tempest Ocean?” Sage Meng exclaimed after he came out.
“What a rich essence power.” The light in Chu Jingsong’s eyes sparkled. “I am entering seclusion.”
“Please go ahead!” Chen Jingzhai said with a smile. “We need to stay here for a long time.”
......
“Don’t worry.” Sage Meng nodded. “It’s just a mere True Venerable Spirit Plane. As long as the sect is alerted, someone will definitely take action. We just need to avoid their claws.”
“I think so, too,” Chen Jingzhai said with a smile. “Next, I will enter Seclusion Training to sort out the inheritance of Venerable Ning. The tower boy will serve as our protector while we are in seclusion.”
Chen Jingzhai explained the reasons behind this very clearly, including his plot to kill Lord Yu with the help of the deep ocean giant beast, and the matter of Venerable Zhang coming to kill him.
Therefore, Sage Meng and others agreed to hide in the small-scale space. Although the essence power there was overbearing, there was a tower where they could refine the essence power so that they could cultivate in the tower.
There was nothing to see in the small space. After everyone had communicated, they entered the tower to cultivate.
Jiang Lin was okay, but Chu Jingsong had a great urgency. After all, Little Master-Uncle had already plotted and killed a lord.
With such an achievement under his belt, he was far behind him. Although Chu Jingsong could not compare with Little Master-Uncle, but could he be worse than Jiang Lin? Under pressure and motivation, Chu Jingsong had a high fighting spirit.
They went to the 24th floor, which Chen Jingzhai had specially requested the tower boy to arrange for them.
The portable space was on the 25th floor, and the stone tablet and the heart of the tower were there.
Chen Jingzhai did not let the others in. This was his intention, and no one would object.
Outside the tower, Chen Jingzhai did not rush to enter Seclusion Training.
He hugged Su Qinghuang and sat at the door of the tower. They had only confirmed their relationship and were still in the lovey-dovey stage, so he did not want to separate from her.
“Is there something you’re hiding from me?” Su Qinghuang asked with her fingers interlaced in his hair.
“Venerable Ning was not from the Eastern Ocean, but from the Heaven Star Territory,” Chen Jingzhai said in a low voice. “The so-called Demon Subduing Tower’s real name was, in fact, Starlight Demon Subduing Tower.”
“What else?” Su Qinghuang continued to ask with a slightly condensed gaze.
“Venerable Ning failed to pass the True Immortal of Tribulation, so he secretly hid so that the enemy would not discover him. He wanted to use the secret method to reincarnate and rebuild his cultivation, but some unexpected circumstances led to failure.
“For the rest of the time, he set up a portable cave residence to find an inheritor. Once he accepts the inheritance, he must avenge him and pay for the cause and effect, so I am hesitant now.
“His real inheritance was not the item alchemy inheritance, but the cultivation of the power of the stars, and he also cultivates sky scriptures. Therefore, if I want to obtain the sky scriptures, I must accept everything from Venerable Ning,” said Chen Jingzhai in a muffled voice as he buried his head in Su Qinghuang’s chest.
At present, he had only initially refined the tower and the portable cave residence. He had even obtained Venerable Ning’s item alchemy inheritance. However, he had not obtained the basic cultivating method. A sky scripture was far more precious than a spiritual treasure.
After reaching the Complete Foundation Plane, Chen Jingzhai fell into a stagnant state. To create the Golden Core passage, Chen Jingzhai had to use more sky scriptures, so he was eagerly awaiting the opportunity to land his hands on the Starlight Sky Scripture.
The key was that, after accepting it, Chen Jingzhai would definitely meet Venerable Ning’s opponent in the future. According to the inheritance, he feared that the opponent was not simple, and he could possibly be a True Immortal of Tribulation.
“You are on the Path of Technique Creation, which is a path full of thorns. If you want to succeed in technique creation, in addition to having many resources, courage and luck are both indispensable.
“I don’t think you need to worry about it. You should take it one step at a time. Anyway, you are not purely cultivating the Starlight Sky Scripture. What if you are not able to fulfill it? Even if it was fulfilled, you are not alone.
“I will be by your side,” Su Qinghuang said softly.
Chen Jingzhai did not speak. Instead, he just hugged Su Qinghuang tighter. He was rarely weak, but he had already made a decision in his heart but could not face it directly for a while.
Su Qinghuang’s words brought courage to Chen Jingzhai. He did not continue to linger with Su Qinghuang. An hour later, he brought Su Qinghuang to the portable cave residence to prepare for his Seclusion Training.
After everyone entered the tower, the tower boy went into the tower and activated the tower’s Restriction. The violent essence power in the small-scale space was swallowed by the tower and slowly became docile.
On the 25th floor.
The essence power here was very strong. Su Qinghuang sat cross-legged by the side with her eyes closed and continued comprehending the methods.
Chen Jingzhai was on her left. The two looked very close, but there was actually a Restriction between them.
Even if something went wrong, it would not affect each other. If it were not for this, Chen Jingzhai would not have brought Su Qinghuang for Seclusion Training here.
Chen Jingzhai did not rush to accept the true inheritance but first sorted out the item alchemy inheritance.
Venerable Ning was the real item alchemist master.
Grade 4 spiritual treasures were not even worth mentioning. He could even refine Grade 5 true artifacts. However, refining true artifacts were very demanding. In order to avoid the enemy, he threw away all his true artifacts.
He used them to scheme with others or to fake his death to escape.
The Starlight Demon Subduing Tower was left behind because it was so good it could be upgraded to the true artifact grade.
In the item alchemy inheritance, item alchemy was divided into three parts.
The first part was the item alchemy mantra. This part included the Item Cauldron Forging Technique, as well as the item creation method and Restriction.
The second part was the identification, cultivation, and processing of refining materials.
This part was the most complicated, but it contained the true item alchemy inheritance.
Some materials were not produced from heaven and earth but were a combination of various materials.
Chen Jingzhai could understand this. The concept was just like alloy materials in his previous life. Hence, he also attached great importance to this part.
The third part was the item alchemy refining insight.
This part had a very clear guiding role.
It included all the intrinsic knowledge from the first contact with item alchemy, all the way to refining a Grade 5 true artifact. Chen Jingzhai could get the answer whenever he did not understand something.
In the three parts of the item alchemy inheritance, Chen Jingzhai first sorted out the item alchemy mantra.
Venerable Ning’s item alchemy mantra was called the Extreme Star Path Refinement Technique. There was no doubt that the core of it was the power of the stars.
With the help of the power of stars and the Cultivator Fire, it was possible to cultivate flames specially used for item refining.
The flames were represented by the seven colors: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple.
The red color represented Grade 1, the orange color represented Grade 2, and so on.
This flame was specially designed for breaking down the material, which maximized the properties of the material. Combined with the item creation method, extraction technique, item finishing technique, item alchemy Restriction, and so forth, only then could good quality magic treasures and spiritual treasures be refined.
Apart from the Extreme Star Path Refinement Technique, the inheritance of the whole set of item alchemy mantras also came with many other supporting inheritances that needed to be summarized and comprehended by Chen Jingzhai one by one.
To be honest, Chen Jingzhai did not think it was challenging to refine spiritual items before.
After all, in the process of breaking through the first floor of the tower to the 24th floor, he could even refine top-grade spiritual items. But after sorting out the item alchemy inheritance, he realized that he had underestimated the Path of Item Alchemy.
There were many types of item creation methods alone, and each type of magic treasure had a corresponding method. If he wanted the magic treasure to have any power, he also needed the right methods to bring out its effect.
It was like a permutation and combination. There were countless kinds of results, which came from extremely vast combinations.
