Eternal Life Begins with Learning

Chapter 459: Chapter 422: Blossoming of the Mind

Tier One Middle Grade, Tier One Upper Grade, Tier Two Lower Grade, Tier Two Middle Grade...

Grand Arrays descended one after another, their Grades increasing from low to high, their Mighty Power from weak to strong.

Chu Mu went from shattering them with a casual flick of his finger to struggling helplessly like a trapped animal.

In the end, with his foundation in Arrays, he stopped at Tier Three Lower Grade.

According to the words that materialized in the void, he was rated as a Tier Two Upper Grade Array Master.

A Jade Scroll appeared out of thin air, landing before Chu Mu.

After that, the void showed no further anomalies.

’So there’s no time limit?’

Chu Mu raised an eyebrow. He glanced around before turning his attention to the Jade Scroll in his hand.

He remembered that the Artifact Refining General Outline he had obtained after passing the Artifact Refining trial back then only contained the inheritance for Tiers One to Three.

Just as he expected, a quick inspection revealed that this Array inheritance, the Array Dao General Outline, also only contained the knowledge for Tiers One to Three.

He grew pensive, settling cross-legged in the void. As he closed his eyes, his Divine Sense plunged into the Jade Scroll, and a massive flood of information rushed into his mind.

The Array Dao inheritance was complete and systematic.

Under the Spiritual Radiance Blessing, his mind and intellect underwent a quantum leap. It was an indescribable brainstorm, allowing him to rapidly process and organize the entire Array inheritance.

From Tier One to Tier Three.

Countless Array Inscriptions flashed through his mind. One Array after another was deconstructed into scattered fragments, then slowly reassembled.

At first, it was merely a simulation within his mind.

As time passed, he began to manifest them out of thin air within this void where illusion was refined into truth.

With but a thought, Array Prohibition Inscriptions, Array Plates, Array Flags, and even the corresponding terrain would all manifest accordingly.

Arrays with various effects shifted and evolved within the void, moving almost at his will. In Chu Mu’s eyes, the crisscrossing networks of Array Prohibitions were like profound combinatorial formulas. He pondered how to combine and arrange them, how to perfectly align them with each Array, and even with every single line of the Array Prohibition network...

And, most importantly, how to integrate the Arrays with his Lifebound Treasure...

Countless thoughts swirled in his mind. If not for the single-minded focus and the cognitive leap granted by the Spiritual Radiance Blessing, he would never have been able to endure for long, even with his Golden Core Realm Cultivation.

In this almost obsessive state, time seemed to fast-forward: one day, two days, one month, two months...

It was only after nearly half a year that the ceaseless manifestations of Array Prohibition Inscriptions within the void finally began to fade.

The void grew still. The Array Gate, which had been sealed for half a year, slowly swung open.

Chu Mu still wore the same green robes. The half-year-long mental explosion under the Spiritual Radiance Blessing had undoubtedly placed an enormous strain on his still-parched Divine Soul.

Waves of stabbing pain originating from the depths of his Divine Soul flared up intermittently. His eyes were a horrifying, crisscrossing mesh of bloodshot veins.

Chu Mu seemed oblivious. His gaze shifted and locked onto the Artifact Gate.

After a moment of thought, he took a step and walked directly toward the Artifact Gate.

He entered the Artifact Room without any obstruction.

Just like before, the room contained an Earth Fire Platform with Spiritual Materials on display.

Not long after he entered, the inheritance trial of the Artifact Dao began, just as it had before.

It was exactly the same as what he had experienced years ago.

With his current proficiency and foundation in the Artifact Refining Skill, it was hardly a challenge. In fact, it was utterly effortless.

From Tier One to Tier Two, and then to Tier Three, he passed without any pressure, completing each stage with ease.

According to the strict evaluation of the Light Curtain Panel, he was merely a Tier Three Lower Grade Refiner. Yet, in this Artifact Room trial, the final result displayed on the stone wall rated him as a Tier Three Upper Grade Refiner.

Gazing at the rating on the gray stone wall, Chu Mu’s eyes lit up with clear anticipation.

And just then, as if confirming Chu Mu’s hopes, the gray stone wall before him began to change, just as it had all those years ago.

The stone wall, which had been inscribed with two lines of text, began to visibly distort. In the end, the entire wall transformed into a stone Scroll.

The moment the four ancient words, "Artifact Refining General Outline," on the Scroll entered his gaze, Chu Mu’s eyes suddenly went vacant.

A moment later, within his Sea of Consciousness, another volume of the Artifact Refining General Outline inheritance appeared beside the first one.

After a brief look, Chu Mu couldn’t conceal his delight.

Just then, with a flash of light, all sorts of Spiritual Materials materialized on the surrounding shelves, appearing on display.

Clearly, just like before, all Spiritual Materials within his assessed Grade as an Artifact Refiner had been refined from illusion into truth, free for him to use.

The trial had assessed his Artifact Refiner Grade as Tier Three Upper Grade. This meant that all Spiritual Materials from Tier One Lower Grade to Tier Three Upper Grade were his for the taking—an inexhaustible supply!

He also had nearly half a year left to stay here.

Confirming this, the heavy fatigue that had enveloped him vanished almost completely.

Chu Mu looked at the countless Spiritual Materials, his gaze burning with an indescribable fervor.

In the Cultivation Immortal Realm, Tier One Spiritual Materials were a dime a dozen.

Even when he was in the Qi Cultivation Realm, it was not difficult to obtain them.

The rarity of Tier Two Spiritual Materials represented a sudden leap. However, after he entered the Vast Sea Cultivation Immortal World and established the True Understanding Pavilion, their rarity diminished. In a Cultivation System centered around Demons, most Tier Two Spiritual Materials—aside from a few special Spiritual Objects—could no longer be considered rare to him.

After all, for any given Tier Two Demon Beast, one could extract its soul, refine its blood, and strip its tendons and bones. Every part of its Demon Body was a top-quality Tier Two Spiritual Material.

As for Tier Three materials, however, that was a different story. Even with the full power of the True Understanding Pavilion, obtaining them required a stroke of luck. Over the years, the number of Tier Three Spiritual Materials and Objects he had acquired could be counted on both hands.

Legendary items like the Fiery Sun Fire Essence and Fusang Wood were things he would normally never even have the chance to encounter.

Let alone a situation like this, where they were refined from illusion into truth and free for his taking...

Chu Mu took a step, seating himself cross-legged on the Earth Fire Platform. With a wave of his hand, several Spiritual Materials rarely seen in the outside world hovered before him.

As the Earth Fire billowed, Chu Mu seemed to notice something. His expression froze. The next second, he snapped his gaze down to his fingertips.

His Storage Ring was still there, but inside its Storage Space, the Jade Boxes that had once held the Fiery Sun Fire Essence and the Fusang Wood were now empty.

’So there are things it can’t simulate and refine into truth?’

Chu Mu had a faint guess. After a moment’s thought, he didn’t dwell on it.

After all, given how rare the Fiery Sun Fire Essence and Fusang Wood were, if this Illusory World could actually simulate them, he would have to start questioning whether this world was truly illusory at all.

His thoughts shifted. Chu Mu gazed at the surging Earth Fire, then glanced at the numerous Spiritual Materials before him. He suddenly closed his eyes, his Divine Sense Perception, enhanced by the Spiritual Radiance Blessing, already immersed in the newly acquired Artifact Refining General Outline Lower Volume.

It was just like his meditation in the Array Dao Inheritance Land, only this time, it was for a much shorter period.

After just one month, Chu Mu roused himself from his study of the Artifact Refining General Outline.

He glanced around and frowned slightly, but wasted no more time.

Just like before, he entered an almost obsessive state within this Inheritance Space, not wasting a single second!

As the blazing Earth Fire churned, an endless supply of Tier Three Spiritual Materials was his for the taking.

Under the Spiritual Radiance Blessing, his enhanced intellect revolved around these countless Spiritual Materials, sparking innumerable new ideas.

As time passed, he refined an untold number of Tier Three Spiritual Materials into all sorts of precious Artifacts.

Several months flew by in a frenzy of almost extravagant refining...
