Chapter 1404: Thorough Completion

The jar glowed fiery red, intensely hot, as if it had transformed into a celestial furnace. Flames raged skyward, and the sound of scriptures resonated, making one feel enlightened, on the verge of comprehending the Dao.

Chu Feng was stunned. He gazed at the stone jar, golden symbols on its surface appearing as if cast from molten iron, incredibly tactile. They then flowed outwards, reaching directly into one's heart.

The Millstone Script!

Chu Feng had named this script, though he had no idea of its true origins.

He had first encountered a line of golden characters on a colossal, crude stone millstone, the size of a city, within the City of Light on the Path of Reincarnation.

Furthermore, he noticed that when the stone jar glowed and exhibited unusual phenomena, even more golden characters emerged, appearing more complete than those on the Path of Reincarnation's millstone.

However, never before had so many scriptures appeared as they did today.

Previously, there was only a single line; today, an entire small section was present!

Perhaps they couldn't even be called scriptures; Chu Feng had pondered them for a long time but still couldn't grasp their true, continuous meaning.

Perhaps each symbol was an energy construct, a manifestation of supreme power, with individual symbols serving as tangible vessels of a Dao.

Chu Feng gazed intently, discovering that these characters originated from the topographic maps depicted on the stone jar!

He gasped sharply!

Recalling that certain areas within those terrains had been sites of bizarre bloodshed, this revelation fueled his suspicion and deepened his sense of dread.

These characters could stabilize reincarnation, and their engraving on the millstone within the City of Light was utterly inconceivable, indicating a terrifying depth of power.

Moreover, the script on the Path of Reincarnation was merely incomplete, consisting of an extremely limited single line.

Chu Feng naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip. He stared intently, committing every detail to memory, knowing this was an invaluable treasure, a supreme symbol.

He had already experienced its power. During the Three-Party Battlefield, he had manifested the limited symbols he'd memorized onto his hands, becoming invincible. He had crushed the descendant of the Martial Fanatic, who could transform his body into seven great saints, causing his combat power to surge. This incident had offered an initial glimpse into the supreme power of this scripture.

In an instant, Chu Feng committed all the runes before him to memory.

However, after a moment of calm, he was surprised once more. Up to this point, only one side of the stone jar was glowing, revealing the special terrain and golden symbols, while the majority of its surface remained unchanged.

Originally, the stone jar had been a cube with six faces. Although it had now taken the form of a jar, it still appeared that only one-sixth of its surface was revealing its extraordinary power.

The greater part of its surface remained ancient and unadorned, revealing nothing remarkable!

This object was truly defying the heavens!

Chu Feng believed that its other sections were surely no less extraordinary.

'Even the Pilfered Breathing Technique originated from this stone jar,' Chu Feng mused, 'what else could be impossible?'

He muttered to himself that the Pilfered Breathing Technique had been completely perfected thanks to this very jar.

'Huh, aren't the flames supposed to enter?' He was momentarily perplexed.

Even such formidable Primordial Universe Flames and Great Void Fires, powerful enough to form a spacetime millstone that warped and blurred the river of time, were not actually penetrating the jar's wall.

Chu Feng let out a long breath of relief. He trusted in the stone jar's extraordinary nature, confident that even the most potent Dao flames could not harm it.

'Absorbed?!'

The subsequent sight made his eyes widen in astonishment as he comprehended the truth.

The supposed burning of the stone jar ultimately resulted in the faint glowing of the landscape map on its surface. After brief flashes of fiery red, it absorbed both the Great Void Fire and the Primordial Universe Flames!

As a form of energy, the flames activated the stone jar, only to be absorbed in the end. That was all!

This was both terrifying and bizarre. Had the stone jar truly devoured this so-called ultimate, supreme fire entity?

'Leave some for me!' Chu Feng exclaimed, astonished yet regretful. He still intended to practice the Seven Treasures Mystic Art, which required seven distinct rare heavenly and earthly substances.

The more potent the substance, the more immeasurable the power of the Mystic Art would be upon its successful cultivation.

He had already acquired Reincarnation Earth, Genesis True Water, and Primordial Mother Gold Liquid, among others—all supreme rare treasures within their respective elemental categories.

If he could absorb a wisp of the original energy from the current flames to cultivate his Mystic Art, he would be able to contend equally with even the top three invincible ancient mystic arts in the future.

'Oh no, my Vajra Bracelet!'

Suddenly, Chu Feng remembered his weapon. He had hastily sought refuge within the stone jar moments earlier, completely neglecting the gleaming bracelet.

Slightly opening the jar's lid, his pupils constricted. Specks of firelight still flickered outside, clinging to the Vajra Bracelet!

Remnants of the Great Void Fire and Primordial Universe Flames persisted, astonishingly diverting some of their power to refine the Vajra Bracelet, which lay in a different direction.

Perhaps this Thirty-Three Heavens Artifact was simply too unique, having inadvertently attracted the scorching flames.

The Human King Furnace, seized from the Yuan family, was in the process of being absorbed by the Vajra Bracelet.

At this moment, both artifacts appeared to be melting, with runes filling the air, brilliant and crystalline. They seemed on the verge of turning into flowing liquid, as various symbols continuously flickered.

'As expected of a Thirty-Three Heavens Artifact!'

Even Chu Feng himself marveled, completely shaken. Despite being engulfed by such terrifying flames, the bracelet seemed to be undergoing repeated tempering rather than actual destruction.

Normally, according to ancient records, even peerless mother gold could be incinerated and reduced to ashes by such flames.

'It is fluctuating, pulsing, as if alive, in sync with the rhythmic patterns of the Great Dao of heaven and earth. This is rebirth through fire, undergoing Nirvana, becoming even stronger.'

Although there were signs of it melting into liquid, it ultimately endured, its own runes shining. It appeared snow-white and crystalline, streaked with crimson patterns and shimmering with a starlit luster.

It shimmered brilliantly, having once absorbed materials such as Heavenly Blood Mother Gold and Starry Sky Mother Gold, now resembling a chaotic Dao artifact.

Purple light poured forth, and space collapsed. The Human King Furnace had truly melted, sending billions of purple rays surging outwards.

Although it was merely a remnant from the Yuan clan's supreme treasure, its material was identical: Purple Mansion Mother Gold. Having undergone countless years of refinement and nurturing, it possessed boundless spirituality, making it supremely powerful and sacred.

Now, however, it was utterly destroyed. The purple light it emitted was absorbed by the nearby Vajra Bracelet.

Later, amidst the light and flames, it emitted a crack before completely disintegrating. It first shattered into fragments, then burst apart as liquid.

All its spirituality and essence flew towards the Vajra Bracelet, where they were absorbed!

Then, with a series of soft splatters, the purple metallic liquid fell to the ground, dull and lifeless, becoming inert waste metal, completely devoid of spirituality.

Ultimately, a layer of shimmering purple aura appeared on the Vajra Bracelet, coiling around it and trembling. It resembled a propitious omen emerging, with purple qi arriving from the east, vast and majestic across the heavens and earth.

Furthermore, that wisp of supreme firelight gradually dimmed, transforming into energy and being absorbed by the Vajra Bracelet.

Chu Feng's heart swelled with joy. He clearly sensed the Vajra Bracelet's power and extraordinary nature; it now contained the natural patterns of heaven and earth, transforming into a terrifyingly sacred artifact.

He felt that simply by unleashing this bracelet, he could obliterate all foes!

He sighed faintly, regretting that both the Great Void Fire and the Primordial Universe Flames had vanished.

Feeling somewhat unwilling, he cautiously attempted to activate the Seven Treasures Mystic Art, hoping to extract the fire-attributed rare heavenly and earthly substance.

'Hmm, there's really a wisp of light mist?!'

He was astonished. On the outer wall of the stone jar before him, and on the Vajra Bracelet, wisps of shimmering light actually appeared, and a peculiar luminous mist floated towards him.

'It's the last residual substance of the Great Void Fire and Primordial Universe Flames!'

Chu Feng was both shocked and delighted. This was the ideal nourishment for him; the violent and destructive components were gone, leaving only the thinnest residual rare substances, perfectly suited for cultivating his Mystic Art.

Had it been the original flames, even a tiny amount would have been enough to reduce him, at his current cultivation level, to ashes, annihilating both his form and spirit.

As the luminous mist entered his body, Chu Feng trembled throughout. The Seven Treasures Mystic Art further advanced, beginning its transformation. He had now collected five of the seven required rare heavenly and earthly substances of different attributes!

Most critically, all five were considered supreme within their respective elemental categories!

The Seven Treasures Mystic Art ranked eleventh on the leaderboard, a feat that had astonished both ancient and modern times. Once fully mastered, there would be few rivals in the world.

Nevertheless, ten other supreme arts still surpassed it.

Yet now, Chu Feng was confident that, considering the rare heavenly and earthly substances he had gathered, the Seven Treasures Mystic Art he cultivated had unquestionably surpassed its original ranking!

He firmly believed that in the future, it could undoubtedly rival top three mystic arts such as the Time Art and the Chaos Tribulation Melody!

Amidst a buzzing sound, within the Grand Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace, Chu Feng was enveloped by a five-colored halo, sacred and resplendent, pushing his Mystic Art to its current ultimate limit.

It was complete!

Five-colored brilliance surged skyward. The five rare heavenly and earthly substances had fused together, and the profound mysteries of the Mystic Art became boundless. With every lift of Chu Feng's hand or foot, he seemed capable of shattering the heavens!

He lost track of time, but eventually, he settled completely. When he opened his eyes, his Super Fiery Golden Eyes shone brilliantly, their golden runes dazzling and captivating.

On his left wrist, the Vajra Bracelet carried an aura of the Dao, clearly a product of Dao cultivation.

In his right hand, he held the stone jar, silent and unadorned, ancient and natural.

Having ventured into the Grand Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace formation this time, he felt almost entirely complete.

At this moment, Chu Feng felt immeasurably powerful, confident enough to attack creatures who had just entered the Heavenly Venerate realm, possessing immense belief in his combat prowess.

'I can now be called Eternal King!'

Surpassing a Great God King—how many throughout history had achieved that? He now firmly believed he had reached this stage!

'Still lacking the refinement of the Yang Realm Dao Fruit.'

Chu Feng carefully reined in his Eternal King Dao Fruit, then tempered his Dao Fruit in the Yang Realm. It, too, eventually reached perfection, his soul light dazzling like a blossoming golden core.

Ultimately, he reined in his aura. He considered merging his Yang Realm Dao Fruit with his Lesser Yin Realm Dao Fruit into a single entity but ultimately refrained.

After all, the Yang Realm Dao Fruit's current cultivation level was still somewhat low, making it not the optimal time for the two Dao Fruits to merge.

When the two Dao Fruits truly merge, it is destined to usher in earth-shattering changes!

'However, that day should arrive swiftly,' he mused. 'From this point forward, I have no more reservations. My foundation is consolidated, my Dao Fruit refined. Now, I can plant the three seeds, absorb pollen, and begin a rapid evolution!'

Chu Feng was filled with anticipation. His current achievements were inextricably linked to the three seeds within the stone jar, which had remained dormant for far too long.

Since arriving in the Yang Realm, he had not activated the three seeds. From this day forward, he could finally resume exploring their secrets.

The stone jar was already incredibly mysterious and awe-inspiring, yet the three seeds used it as their vessel. Their true origins were simply unimaginable!
