Chapter 1743: Alchemy Flourishes (3)

When words were treated as gold, rarely spent, highly valued, the advice given was similarly precious. And King, this Omega Saber Soul, delivered a pep talk that could invigorate stone and inspire immortals. Even Wei Wuyin found it hard for his blood to not boil, finding that his thoughts earlier were genuinely a little pathetic and unbefitting of his chosen path.

Wait? Just wait until his previous methods were effective? Wait until he acquired immortal materials or reached a suitable cultivation? Past achievements were astounding, and previous heaven-defying acts were world-shaking, but if his thoughts were to become so steady, then he would never continuously break past conventions and his previous limits!

"If there's a will..." Wei Wuyin muttered an obscure, ancient saying of the Myriad Yore Continent.

"THERE'S A WAY!" Ori hyped.

Wei Wuyin chuckled to himself. King was the master of timing, truly. "Thank you," stretching his limbs, Wei Wuyin patted his alchemist robes before rubbing his face with vigorous movements as if to wake him up.

Firstly, he determined the problem: him. If he had to identify a box that had restricted his thinking, which was himself, then he simply had to think outside of it.

Secondly, he pondered his past convention-breaking ways, including how he used Mystic-Rank materials to bypass his inability to access the principles, essence, and energies of Mysticism needed for transcendent-quality and Mystic-Rank products. Later, he relied on the Mystic Light within his World Sea birthed by the World Rune to reliably concoct transcendent-quality products!

By using this crazy method that surpassed any other, he directly became the first Mortal Saint Alchemist!

And lastly, he began to consider different paths.

"Perhaps I should make a return to the Onestar Galaxy and locate the Solar Star that the Jiaolong, the existence that was said to have failed to ascend to immortality, and utilize its Solar Essence to act as an adhesive to the aura of eternity throughout the concoction process."

This was aligned with his previous path, but it was undoubtedly a long shot. In the end, he shook his head. This might be possible, but this was bound to generate conflict with the Ascended Sovereigns of the Onestar Galaxy, and by his estimation, they could be Resonant Soul Realm experts. While it was only a small chance, he had a feeling that doing so wasn't risky, but a little stupid and suicidal.

There was too much he couldn't verify about the Jiaolong or the Onestar Galaxy despite his acquisitions of knowledge and information within the Endless Purgatory. Moreover, from what he had learned, it only reinforced his belief that this was no different than cutting off his own head and crushing his soul, hoping for a positive outcome after.

"..." King might have given an incredible pep talk, but it was unable to offer any further assistance. It was an Omega Saber Soul, not an Alchemic Saber Soul. Its inherent knowledge of that path was limited.

Eden, shockingly, was silent. It was clear from its pulsating thick roots within his Sea of Consciousness that it was providing boosts to Wei Wuyin's mental capacity while trying to conceive an alternative as well.

Wei Wuyin went deep into his thoughts.

Meanwhile, outside, an entire stellar region was in an upheaval!

Bai Xiu's unintended actions of dumping the excess of Utmost Purity Mist outside due to her greed were creating a hectic commotion. Countless souls within the span of this week learned of the grade two mist that was raining down from the Original Dawn Palace, falling onto the Utmost Purity Hall, and they were all driven with desire.

Hao Chengxue could only make a hasty return from his networking activities during this rather active period of the galaxy. When he finally did, he was flabbergasted by the Original Dawn Palace's situation. Observing for a while, he noticed that the saber formation would belch out grade two mist. Furthermore, this mist was of astonishing quality, containing properties linked to Wei Wuyin's Alchemic Dao, and capable of elevating mental energies and bestowing sporadic insights.

Every Utmost Purity Mist was unique at its core, mostly formed by the essential alchemical powers of the alchemist who created it. Oftentimes, the mist would be an amalgamation of numerous properties from varying alchemists using the same cauldron, but this mist was created by a single entity, yet was unnaturally profound. Was this the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Saint's brand of Utmost Purity Mist?!

During Wei Wuyin's initial debut into the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region's alchemy scene, Mu Yura, the Twilight Alchemic Sovereign had, during her assessment of his convention-shattering Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill, breathed in the mist with an intoxicated expression. The mist then was already grade two, practically an unseen grade, and possessed Eden's properties inherent in its Dao of Alchemy, which included the Seven Source Soul Light. Back then, the mist had heightened the quality and quantity of her mental energies and bestowed alchemical insights.

Typically, the primary effect of elevating mental energies was a passive effect of all of Wei Wuyin's concocted products and could be largely considered as his distinct signature. The alchemical insights were only effective to other alchemists. Considering this grade two mist was pouring down, and a good portion of the Tiny Heart Starfield, and even the Swirling Growth Stellar Region, were alchemists, how could they not find this as a fortune of the heavens?!

He wasn't foolish to think that his Second Mind wasn't an abnormal entity given its ability to exert a degree of independence, but he also knew that they were eternally connected as one. And this has helped them both, especially considering they had different passions and goals. It was as if his psyche had been genuinely split.

Now, he was hijacking his Second Mind, and that felt initially odd before giving away to an utterly breathtaking experience. His Second Mind was the primary development of Enlightened Scholarly Mist, and while he developed some on his own as well, the sheer quantity and quality within the Palace of Eden under its control was damn near excessive.

To begin, the Enlightened Scholarly Mist of his Second Mind had long since condensed into liquid form within his Sea of Consciousness, intermixing inexplicably with his Mental Energies that constituted that sea and long since had leaked into his Mind's Eye after the Magi trials. What Wei Wuyin hadn't realized was that after consolidating their knowledge and gains, his Second Mind's Palace of Eden was flooded with this liquid!

The entire Palace of Eden was submerged from wall to wall in liquid. When he entered for the first time, he felt profoundly overwhelmed by it all.

He then learned that the Enlightened Scholarly Mist had levels as well, and this could be considered a grade five mist. It had transformed from mist to liquid! What a wondrous change! If his estimations were correct, this degree of Enlightened Scholarly Mist suggested an absurd wealth of knowledge! No wonder his Second Mind dominated the Dao Acknowledge of Scholarly Virtue when it came to the Dao of Creation!

Of course, this knowledge was extensive, including in regards to talismans, cultivation methods, forging techniques, and much more, but Wei Wuyin's exchanged knowledge was curated to relevance, and he definitely would not be able to immediately craft talismans with as much ease as his alchemy. That said, he was already fascinated by the possibility of expanding his practical knowledge and techniques in other fields!

Wei Wuyin had decided to explore the Palace of Eden in hopes of finding a solution to his conundrum, but he hadn't expected that just entering the Palace would inspire him instantly!

"I know what I need to do!"

Because of that, he seized control over his Second Mind, using a rarely used Dual Mind Technique that was common with split minds, and brought out a second cauldron.

"My failings are due to myself. I can't refine the aura of eternity. The reason is obvious: I lack the fundamental ability to do so. If I tried to rely on past methods, either finding an immortal-grade material or reaching the threshold to sense the aura of eternity naturally, that might take too long or not work. After all, who says that anyone but an immortal can sense this aura? If so, then by the time I can sense it, I will be able to create it myself naturally!

"No! No! I can not do that. King is right; I must continue on this path without looking back or down! I can not decide to just catch up with the others, or rely on old methods to achieve future achievements. If I must do so, then I'll do so now rather than later. Because...if I do so later, I might never get that chance."

The eighteen Calamities of Hell had never been underestimated by Wei Wuyin. He just had to get unlucky once, and his existence would vanish entirely. Or worse—he could become another suave Wei Wuyin of that timeline who decided to rely on only his innate endowments or current advantages in life. While that might bring about a great path ahead of him, that type of stagnant thinking was ruinous.

He refused to lose anyone.

"Anyone!"

"So I'll have to eliminate myself from the potential solution! I'll use a method that is outside the box and way further beyond! The box that alchemic soul cultivators would never think of doing!" Wei Wuyin's eyes pulsated with the light of madness.

"I'll create alchemical energy on par with the aura of eternity! I'LL CREATE UTMOST PURITY MIST TO THAT LEVEL!!" Wei Wuyin's decision was insane!

"YES!" Kratos roared, sending his heart racing with excitement tinged by insanity!

"..." Eden was deeply silent.

While Ori was hyping Wei Wuyin up to the utmost with incessant cheering. "You can do it! You can do it!"

To non-Alchemic Soul alchemists, they all relied on external methods to create their alchemical energies to certain levels based on their cultivation base, but Utmost Purity Mist had the unique ability to elevate this ability to rival Alchemic Soul alchemists! If that was possible, why not create a Utmost Purity Mist that can elevate external alchemical energies that can attach itself to the aura of eternity?

Wei Wuyin used the Thirty-Three Heavenly Concoction Method on both cauldrons at the same time, using Mystic-World products of all the lineages he acquired from the White Abyssal Galaxy and Resolute Dusk Galaxy! From the lineages that Enlightened Sage Springfield knew! That those within the Endless Purgatory knew!

All that he KNEW!!!
