Chapter 616: Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, Third Refinent
Although Jie Ming already had considerable confidence in attempting to break through to the Void Refinent Realm, he did not mind increasing that confidence further.
In addition to preparing various auxiliary potions for the breakthrough, the natural choice was to re-refine the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror and advance it to the third refinent.
Having decided on the direction, Jie Ming did not rush to act.
He first secluded himself in the laboratory for three days, thoroughly reviewing all the refinent records for the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror.
From the crude techniques used during its initial refinent in the Qi Refinent stage, to the exploratory attempts during its first re-refinent in the Foundation Establishnt stage, and then to the mature process during its second re-refinent in the Golden Core stage…
Every record of each refinent had been perfectly preserved, like thick diaries docunting the thousand years of effort and care he had poured into tempering his life-bound treasure. Each re-refinent of the treasure could elevate its power once more.
Each re-refinent added one turn.
The Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror had already undergone two re-refinents and was currently at the second turn.
To reach the third turn, one would originally need certain materials unique to the cultivation world: Nine Heavens Clear Qi, Profound Yin Water, True Solar Fire…
Those things could not be found at all in the wizard world.
However, years of study in Alchemy Technique had allowed Jie Ming to roughly gather substitute materials, and the core database of the parallel world’s wizard civilization had supplied the final pieces of the puzzle.
Combined with his own modifications to the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror’s refinent techniques, the conditions for the third refinent had essentially been t.
Jie Ming walked out of the laboratory, crossed the eastern plains, and arrived at a slting chamber deep within the plane.
This was a space he had specially constructed for refining large magical artifacts. Its interior was densely inscribed with rune formations for heat insulation, soundproofing, and isolating energy fluctuations. He sat down before the control panel and tapped a few tis on the rune interface.
A low rumbling sound ca from the direction of the warehouse as the teleportation formation’s light lit up in succession.
Pre-processed materials were teleported over one after another and neatly stacked on both sides of the slting chamber.
Although the refinent thod had been altered, the fundantals remained unchanged.
As a treasure that transford the void into reality, the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror required mostly conceptual or special materials for each re-refinent, with very few physical types.
There were three main materials.
The first was high-spirituality energy crystals. The special property of these crystals was that the energy within them contained a unique spirituality, usually used to enhance the soul.
The second was Eastern Purple Qi. He had spent considerable ti accumulating a thumb-sized crystal bottle containing a strand of purple aura. There was also Imperial Flow Paste—Jie Ming had nearly emptied all his remaining stock.
In addition, there were countless miscellaneous minor materials.
At the third refinent, the process of refining the treasure beca even more complicated.
Combined with the need to replace original materials with various substitutes, the difficulty of the refinent process increased further.
Jie Ming closed his eyes to rest and ntally rehearsed the entire refinent process.
Every step, every rune, and every adjustnt to the heat was repeatedly verified to ensure there would be no mistakes.
Then he opened his eyes and raised his hand in a beckoning gesture.
A magnificent glow lit up from his dantian as the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror flew out from his body and floated in the center of the slting chamber.
The palm-sized small round mirror flowed with pale golden light. On its surface, countless fine patterns could be vaguely seen slowly wriggling.
Jie Ming adjusted his breathing to peak condition, then ford hand seals with both hands. The formation array activated.
The runes inside the slting chamber lit up simultaneously as large amounts of Incense Divine Power stored within the Incense Fire Divine Dao were drawn out.
However, this ti the Incense Divine Power was not used as material, but as fuel.
The golden divine power burned within the formation array. After passing through multiple layers of transformation, it ultimately released a pure and gentle light.
That was Spirituality Divine Light—a special energy specifically used to nurture the spirituality of treasures. Jie Ming had spent considerable ti mastering this application.
At this mont, he extravagantly poured Incense Divine Power into the furnace without restraint, transforming it into overwhelming Spirituality Divine Light that enveloped the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror.
Under the illumination of the divine light, the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror began to change.
Its form shifted from solid to illusory, from tangible to hazy, like a piece of amber illuminated by light, with its internal patterns clearly visible.
From solid to void—this was the first step of re-refinent: temporarily dissolving the treasure’s physical form to expose its core spiritual essence.
Jie Ming did not hesitate.
He raised his hand and sent the high-spirituality energy crystals and various auxiliary materials flying into the shadowy form one after another.
They lted, decomposed, and recombined under the shine of the Spirituality Divine Light, turning into countless fine light particles that rged into the core structure of the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror.
At the sa ti, Jie Ming’s spiritual power transford into countless fine threads that shuttled rapidly through the shadowy form, inscribing one new rune after another.
Considering the special nature of the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, Jie Ming had no intention of modifying it for attack or defense capabilities. Instead, he concentrated all the enhancents on increasing the treasure’s spirituality.
He wanted it to beco “smarter,” to react faster, and to connect more closely with his own spirit.
After completing the general outline, the Eastern Purple Qi was poured in.
The mont the concentrated purple aura entered the shadowy form, the entire mass of light was dyed with a faint purple hue.
The concept of the sun was inscribed into the core of the treasure, making its connection with “light” even more fundantal.
Imperial Flow Paste followed and rged in.
The pale golden droplets sank into the shadowy form. The mass of light trembled violently, then began to expand.
Spirituality surged wildly. The originally stiff runes began to move on their own, as if they had gained life.
After shifting from solid to void ca the shift from void to solid.
Golden light shone from Jie Ming’s forehead. Relying on the computational boost of the Fate Subsystem, he controlled the mass of light, making it slowly contract and condense. Every inch of contraction required precise energy control—too fast would destabilize the structure, too slow would cause spirituality to dissipate.
It was like walking a tightrope; not a single step could be wrong.
When the final wisp of light converged, the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror reappeared in the center of the slting chamber.
Its outer appearance had not changed much—it was still the sa palm-sized small round mirror.
However, the patterns on its surface had beco denser and more lively, like countless living snakes slowly wriggling.
Jie Ming could clearly sense that its aura had changed—it had beco “alive.”
Previously it had been a magical treasure. Now it felt more like a life that was being nurtured.
Third refinent—complete.
Jie Ming did not rest. He raised his hand, and the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror flew into his palm.
He closed his eyes, connecting his spiritual power with the treasure and sensing the changes within.
Then he opened his eyes, and his body began to transform.
Dark golden light surged from within him, instantly engulfing his entire body.
Light God Transformation!
A dark golden tallic body took shape inside the slting chamber—smooth, refined, and brimming with power.
Jie Ming looked at his dark golden hands, his eyes filled with delight. “Excellent!”
Fast.
Much faster than before.
Previously, even after years of training and practice, the process from activation to completion still required Jie Ming to pause for a mont.
Now, it was almost instantaneous the mont his mind moved.
Jie Ming estimated that the efficiency had increased by at least fifty percent.
At his current activation speed, Light God Transformation could be called “instant activation.”
He canceled the form, took a deep breath, and golden light shone from between his brows.
The Fate Subsystem operated at full power as Light God Transformation · Annihilation Form activated.
Gray-white flas surged out. This ti the speed was slightly slower.
But compared to before, the improvent was still obvious.
“Activation efficiency has increased by about twenty percent. The original preparation ti of over ten seconds has been reduced to just over eight seconds.” Jie Ming calculated briefly.
Although the improvent was not as pronounced, those extra two seconds could determine life or death on a fierce battlefield.
Jie Ming persisted for a while longer and confird that the maintenance ti of the Annihilation Form had also increased by thirty percent under the assistance of the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, extending from the original three to five seconds to four to six seconds.
Jie Ming canceled the form and let out a long breath.
Although the improvent to the Annihilation Form was not as obvious as the normal form, the result had already far exceeded his expectations.
After all, the core of the Annihilation Form was the Ashheart Fla of an eighth-rank wizard. At his current level, a twenty percent increase was already quite good.
He lowered his head and looked at the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror in his palm. The corners of his mouth curved upward slightly.
The small round mirror lay quietly, its surface patterns slowly wriggling as if responding to his gaze.
“Go back.”
The Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror turned into a streak of flowing light and sank into his dantian.
Jie Ming stood up, walked to the warehouse interface in the corner of the slting chamber, and retrieved a batch of Mortal Dust Qi.
The mist carrying the aura of desires surged into his dantian under the guidance of his spiritual power, slowly circulating around the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror.
Jie Ming sensed the pulsing of the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror within his dantian and nodded in satisfaction.
Previously, the enhancent of the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror’s spirituality by Mortal Dust Qi had already reached its own limit. Now it could continue to strengthen.
Once its spirituality grew strong enough, strong enough to autonomously access the Fate Subsystem for auxiliary calculations, his combat power would rise to another level.
