Chapter 386 - 382: Soul Deity Invoker Elixir

Within the thoroughly sealed area of Wei Wuyin’s Alchemy Room, there were several exquisite lines of light that flowed from the walls, floor, and ceiling in a beautiful array of multicolored light streams. These streams contained an aura of extreme sharpness alongside a distinctive aura of alchemic energies.

They were like fireflies as they circulated at the edges of the room, while a gorgeous manifestation of a planet, solar star, and lunar satellite was seemingly merged into one. These light streams belonged to Wei Wuyin’s Saber Formation designed to restrict the expansion of the unique phenomenon conjured when a ninth-grade product reached completion, the Stellar Manifestation of the Mortal Sovereign.

It was this custom-made formation infused with the free-flowing oppressive powers of the saber alongside alchemic energies ability of Containment. He had to also exert his incredible control over the world’s ambient mana to pacify it. If it wasn’t for all these qualities, he would find it extremely difficult to prevent the Stellar Manifestation of the Mortal Sovereign from erupting. After deploying the formation, Wei Wuyin was capable of freely concocting these products without fear of causing an uproar with each success.

At the moment, he stood before his Nine Element Eclipse Cauldron with an unsightly and contemplative expression. His lips twitched as he observed an item floating within his cauldron’s empty space. After a helpless sigh was released, he made a grabbing gesture towards the air and brought the object into his grasp.

It levitated just an inch away from his palm. The object was a single drop of cyan-colored liquid that seemed to contain a myriad of images and variations of these images within. It moved and twisted on its own, as if it had its own will and sentience. It was as if it had its own soul.

As he inspected it, how it possessed its own power, and its spiritual aura that caused his soul to seemingly feel extremely exhilarated at the mere sight of it, he couldn’t help but reveal a wry smile. This was the Soul Deity Invoker Elixir, a high-tier, ninth-grade elixir.

This was the first high-tier product of the ninth-grade that he concocted, and he expected that with the rise of his cultivation base, he would have an easy time concocting this product. After all, he only had six Soul Ashes of the Divine Jade, and there was no extrapolation of more during the alchemy process. He needed to use the entire speck of ash in the concoction process.

But reality was rather harsh. His emotions were feeling rather helpless and a little disappointed because he had just finished all six concoctions, but he had outright failed five of them. If it wasn’t for his insights into his failures of the first five, his ability to adapt incredibly swiftly, he might’ve failed all of them.

He thought that the difficulty between a low-tier and high-tier ninth-grade product would only be increased by a few times, capable of being offset by his own cultivation improvements, but it wasn’t. It was almost a thousand times more difficult! He was extremely surprised by this development, feeling as if it was absolutely outrageous.

He had numerous advantages during the concoction process, such as the Celestial Eyes of Spiritual Divinity, Zenith Origin Soul’s Mana Influence, an Alchemic Astral Soul supported by three other impressive Astral Souls, and an unfathomably deep comprehension of Alchemy. With these advantages, he couldn’t fathom its difficulty would rise so abruptly from a single tier.

"I wonder how other Mortal Sovereigns like the King of Everlore were capable of overcoming this issue..." He muttered under his breath in heartfelt admiration. The King of Everlore had devised and concocted the Ever-Rebirth Pill, a peak-tier pill that could even reconstruct the physical body of a Mystic Ascendant Realm cultivator.

"..." Eden always refined products last, so its silence was thoroughly understood by everyone. With it bowing out automatically, the other three were left to decide. But...

"Yeh! Yeh! Yeh! I WANT!" Ori wasn’t as patient, being extremely direct with its wants. Its excited yelps were quite cute, causing Wei Wuyin to chuckle.

"I am the Void! Time is within my will. There is no difference between now and an eternity," Kratos scoffed in refusal. While it spouted absolute nonsense that didn’t really make sense, like usual, it was clearly refusing to take the elixir first.

"Tch." King said only his signature sound before retrieving his aura and connection, a clear sign of its refusal to jump at being first. Perhaps it was its pride, perhaps it was something more.

Wei Wuyin faintly smiled as he felt their true thoughts, his heart warmed as he inspected Ori. There was no way any of his Astral Souls would compete with Ori, especially considering how they were so protective of it during the Soul-Pulse Manifestation Tribulation. Despite being the oldest, it was often treated as the youngest and most precious member of the four.

He felt it had to do with its personality that seemingly lacked a strong will, being playful and easily excitable. While Eden was the most responsible and seemingly caretaker of the others’ needs, a likely attribute borne due to its intelligence, allowing it to take lead in their escapades. The other two were more like odd brothers, with King arrogant edginess and Kratos propensity to spout utter unintelligible nonsense. Both of which had difficulty conveying their thoughts as clearly and freely as Ori.

"Ori, you’re up." Wei Wuyin smilingly declared.

"Yay! Me first! Me first! Me first!" Ori externalized, appearing as a small star of white light with infinite activity and variations on its surface. It’s spirited air was quite extraordinary, but what was shocking was its size!

Unlike before when it was one-centimeter in size, it was clearly bigger now! After ascending to the Third Stage of the Astral Core Realm, manifesting a Soul Idol, the limitations of his cultivation base for Astral Force quality had been lifted, allowing a new and higher limit to form.

With all the pre-prepared Great Sea Astral Pills and other mental, physical, and spiritual energies amplification products, he was quickly pushing his Astral Cores to their limits once more. He wondered what size the end-result will be!

Ori swooped in while he was distracted by his whimsical thoughts and absorbed the vial, bottle and all.

Wei Wuyin’s lips twitched...

.....that was expensive.
