Chapter 454: Extracting Metal Energy
Gold Obsidian.
A wave of emotion swept over Pang Jian as he stood among the Gold Obsidian mineral veins.
Once upon a time, the Celestial Maiden Yu Xin had been deeply troubled over obtaining Gold Obsidian and had pleaded for his assistance.
Since then, the foreign race warriors from the Fifth World had taken over the Radiant Sun Sect, which housed the Gold Obsidian mineral veins.
Most of the sect's cultivators were dead and geniuses of the Radiant Sun Sect like Su Meng had been sacrificed to the Outer God dwelling on the sun.
My assistance to Yu Xin then played a role, but ultimately, it was the malfunction of the seven Heaven Ascension Tribulation Pillars, the death of the Celestial Phoenix, and...
The image of the Heaven-Earth Cosmos Chest surfaced in his mind.
Shaking his head, Pang Jian focused his attention on the present, casting aside his distracting thoughts.
He passed through the mineral veins that shimmered like a web of golden lightning and approached the colossal spirit vein, which was coiled like a crystalline dragon.
Following the black turtle's teachings, he used the blackish-yellow mountain within his spiritual sea to attempt to draw pure spiritual power from the spirit vein.
Pang Jian calmed his thoughts and activated the Qi Nurturing Divine Cauldron Art, visualizing his spiritual sea as a green spirit cauldron.
Whoosh!
Tiny specks of light flew out from within the spirit vein like shattered stars, drawn to his spiritual sea like moths to a flame.
The tiny star-like fragments were neither mist-like spiritual qi nor liquid spiritual power; but solid like the green fragmented land within his spiritual sea.
Using his divine soul, Pang Jian watched as the tiny crystalline fragments directly linked to the green fragmented land within his spiritual sea.
At the same time, golden-red specks of light emerged from the Gold Obsidian mineral veins, and they too materialized into something tangible.
Crack!
The specks were drawn into the massive spirit cauldron that Pang Jian had visualized within his spiritual sea.
They split into two energies—one ascended into his dantian and fused with the miniature sun there, while the other accumulated on the green fragmented land, forming a growing peak of a golden mountain.
The mountain was pure gold in color and contained refined metal energy.
It's a new energy, one corresponding to the Metal element from the five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth!
Pang Jian's eyes lit up as he observed the mineral veins around him as metal and solar energies streamed into his body.
Realization dawned upon Pang Jian—the naming conventions of the human race cultivation method for the body's mysteries were anything but arbitrary; they were profoundly meaningful.
Before, his spiritual sea had been a vast expanse of spiritual power in liquid form, aptly named for its boundless, ocean-like nature. After being further purified and condensed, it transformed from a liquid into a solid state to form a fragmented land.
This fragmented land acted like a tangible continent within the Abyss and could manifest extraordinary wonders.
At the moment, the fragmented land was absorbing star-like fragments from the spirit vein beneath the Radiant Sun Sect and integrating them into itself.
Even the metal and solar energies within the Gold Obsidian mineral veins were drawn in seamlessly.
The accumulated metal energy soon formed a fist-sized golden nugget that resembled a miniature golden mountain.@@@@
Pang Jian had now extracted the Metal element from the five elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
As the fragmented land gradually solidified, it shifted into Pang Jian's dantian, settling beneath the sun, moons, and stars.
Gazing at the sun suspended above the fragmented land, Pang Jian noticed it had fully taken on a solid form, continuously absorbing solar energy from the mineral veins to reinforce itself further.
She was no longer in her battle attire and her tall, curvaceous figure was elegantly draped in a silver-white gown. The absence of her gleaming silvery scale mask revealed an exceptionally stunning visage.
The massive serrated blade lay on a stone table behind her, continuously emanating a terrifying aura.
Her close companion offered her some pills alongside buckets of blood from high-ranked Vicious Beasts.
"I still prefer consuming beast blood," she said, raising her long eyebrows.
She then grabbed a bucket of beast blood and boldly drank it.
Although the pills could also provide abundant vitality and were smaller and easier to consume, she deliberately set them aside.
"Patriarch mentioned that it's best to avoid drinking beast blood in front of those beasts—I mean, in front of the Fey Race," the older Demon Scale Race warrior reminded her, a subtle, entranced gleam in his solemn eyes.
He had accompanied Xuan Ying since childhood, acting as both mentor and companion as he watched her grow up. As her "big brother," he was the one Xuan Ying trusted most, and he was willing to lay down his life for her.
Between her and the Patriarch of the Demon Scale Race, Li Bai, his loyalty always leaned toward Xuan Ying, not because of her high likelihood of ascending to godhood, but simply because he had always deeply loved her.
"Vicious Beasts are just beasts. A trip to Northern Qi doesn't suddenly make them part of the Fey Race," Xuan Ying scoffed disdainfully. "Our ancestors slaughtered their so-called Fey Gods to conquer the Abyss. We've always used their blood to restore our strength and their bones to forge our artifacts."
Xuan Ying's lips curled into an arrogant sneer.
"I'm nothing like Yu Xin," she scorned. "To me, all Vicious Beasts are either food or mounts.
"Friends? To treat that Giant Abyssal Serpent as a friend is nothing short of a joke!"
"Keep your voice down. This is a decision that the higher-ups have made. It's not our place to question it," her companion cautioned.
"Vicious Beasts, like humans, have opposed us for years. They've repeatedly helped the human race hinder our rise to the upper worlds," Xuan Ying sneered. "Cooperation? Alliance? That's absurd?"
As she was about to continue, her gaze caught the serrated blade on the stone table. Blackish-purple demonic patterns bloomed on its surface like flowers, exuding an air of mystique and majesty.
Xuan Ying set down the bucket of beast blood, approached the blade, and placed her pale hands on the intricate patterns.
Through this, she established a connection with the Demon Gods in the starry skies.
The Rank Eight Demon Scale Race warrior at her side knelt on one knee and bowed his head in reverence.
He did not dare to even glance at the patterns on the blade as they represented the wills of the Demon Gods.
"You want me to kill Pang Jian, seize the Abyssal Demon Sword, and destroy the Abyssal Demon within?
"And you're providing me with his precise location?
"I've already said that Pang Jian could help me break through my bloodline and that I allowed him to leave alive!"
Xuan Ying kept her hand pressed against the sword, maintaining her connection to the Demon Gods as she unyieldingly declared, "I, Xuan Ying, will never go back on my word! I will not make a move against him on this Cosmic Skies Continent. Absolutely not!
"You can't make me take back my words, no matter who you are!"
With that, she withdrew her hands in extreme displeasure.
The kneeling Rank Eight Demon Scale Race warrior turned pale as a sheet, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably with fear.
Even their Patriarch, Li Bai, would not dare to address the revered Demon Gods with such defiance or openly go against their wills.
But Xuan Ying dared.
The intricate patterns representing various Demon Gods' wills on the serrated blade slowly faded before disappearing entirely.
It was as if the Demon Gods in the starry skies had reluctantly abandoned their plans.
