Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 874: Mortal Saint Alchemist, A New Material

”Stellar Rain is likely the strangest lifeform Iʼve seen,” Wei Wuyin said as he extracted a Stellar Rain lifeform from the large crystal, holding a mass of starlight within his palm. The Stellar Rain lifeform had mental energy emissions, but they were clearly not of its own. Furthermore, it had little to no signs of life.

It strangely felt like an inanimate existence given fleshy form, instilled with traces of mental fluctuations that determined its actions and reactions, and imbued with a unique power to store, refine, and release light-based energies.

The actual light energies within were minimal, clearly having been released earlier before its capture. It barely resembled the Stellar Rain depicted in various manuscripts and documents. Instead, it contains a unique essence material within that could gather and galvanize light energies for its own purpose, fueling its power and flight.

”Itʼs said that Stellar Rain moved faster than some Ascended beings, even Earthly Saints would find it difficult to capture them. Furthermore, they can escape from Spatial Prisons and World Prisons of cultivators. The Ever-Starlight Pellet capitalizes on this aspect, creating a dual-purposed pellet—escape and assault.” Wei Wuyin formed a hand-seal. The Stellar Rain floated before him, spinning in place as he analyzed its composition and state.

The Ever-Starlight Pellet was a ninth-grade pellet designed by the King of Everlore. It could be used to not only harm Mystic Star Phase experts but escape from Ascended beings. It required Stellar Rain, but was extremely rare to concoct. The rarity wasnʼt because of the difficulty in the concoction process, but the procurement of materials.

Stellar Rain was simply too fast. The Stellar Rain outside the Stellar Nest was often infused with vast quantities of Light Energies that made them unfathomably fast. They acted in swarms, could devour innate light energies, and could penetrate through mystic-graded shieldings through its heat emissions.

They were like a hot, blitzing storm of rain. It was too frightening.

”But despite analyzing it using the Celestial Eyes, I canʼt figure out why it can escape Spatial Prisons,” Wei Wuyin changed to another hand-seal, causing the Stellar Rain to halt. The ability to evade spatial restraints was intriguing to him, but he couldnʼt find any hint of this power.

”Maybe itʼs innate? Not energy-based, but flesh based.” Wei Wuyinʼs thoughts moved in this direction, using his finger to slice off a portion of the Stellar Rainʼs strange lifeform appearanceʼs wing. With a wave, the severed portion fell into his palm. He began to infuse his spatial energies into it.

Doosh!

A wave of power rebounded! Wei Wuyinʼs hair and robes fluttered and his eyes brightened as he observed this strange reaction. With a flicker of excitement, he tested infusing spatial energies into the portion of the wing again.

Doosh!

And again…

Doosh! Doosh! Doosh!

”I see!” After doing this over two dozen times, Wei Wuyin discovered the interaction and the cause. ”So the King of Everlore merged the two into one. If so, then…” The light of discovery and experimentation brought happiness to Wei Wuyin as he delved into the topic with greater focus.

Roughly eight days later, Wei Wuyinʼs silver eyes were extremely bright, but his hair was an absolute mess. Bai Linʼs feathers were emitting white and golden starlight, making her extremely beautiful, but they were ruffled and in total chaos.

Before Wei Wuyin was several materials, most notably was the cyan-colored Soul Ashes of the Divine Jade. This was an uniquely non-graded material that came from the failures of the Soul Impartations of the Heavens that created Demons. The area or item would then leave a speck of spiritual ash that would linger for a thousand years, creating a unique environment that could allow cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm to easily reach the Qi Condensation Realm via interacting with their own souls.

This material was essential to the creation of the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill, containing connective soul properties that allowed the Domain Seed to merge perfectly with the cultivator. A large reason why the Ever-Domain Pill suffered greatly was due to the lack of usage of this material.

This material was high-end in the Myriad Yore Continent, but it was absolutely common in the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region. In the stellar region, demons were an extreme minority, and their unique energies generated by their bodies and existences pushed other cultivators away.

In truth, the only reason the Everlore Starfield hadnʼt followed this line of thinking was due to the Demonic Abyss Mountainʼs Abyss Master reign, their relation to the King of Everlore, and ability to grow and develop in their own society. His existence allowed the peaceful and accepted co-existence between races, being one of the highly respected and revered figures in history.

It was this that allowed humans, elves, and beastmen to interact and even give birth to demonic hybrids. In the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region, there was no such figure that highlighted their potential and eased their acceptance. They would be treated like the Myriad Yore Continent, the isolated and self-contained world, where demons were seen as ill-omens and abominable beings, especially hybrids.

In this stellar region, there were various formations that halted or outright forced the Soul Impartations of the Heavens process, generating an untold amount of Soul Ashes of Divine Jade. This meant demons were at an all-time low, if not non-existent in certain areas of the stellar region.

A sad reality, but the only one there was.

There were other materials as well, such as various volatile light-attributed essences at the astral-grade. There were at least nine different types, and they were of different colors, ranging from the entire Primary Light Spectrum excluding True and Soul Light. There was even a condensed and compressed astral essence stone that was the size of a human, and the astral essence inside was extremely pure. If one looked inside, they would be reminded of an ocean with the liquid-like astral essence.

The spread was diverse, and Wei Wuyin grew visibly excited in his high-strung and messy appearance. He turned to Bai Lin, his smile a little mad, saying: ”From the beginning of trying to refine the War Talisman, Iʼve been trying to create a way to replenish Soul Light. It has a lot of uses, not limited to that, but if I can do so, then the War Talisman can be an incredible trump card.”

Bai Linʼs eyes reflected Wei Wuyinʼs excitement and madness. They seemed like two peas in a pod, ready to shoot out into the unknown with madness in their hearts and their lives on the line.

”Hahaha!” Wei Wuyin abruptly laughed, lifting his head upwards to the ceiling and clenching his hands into tight fists. Bai Lin released her own clarion laughter, producing a dual harmony. Soon, Wei Wuyin settled down.

”Itʼs all in place!” He lowered his head, his Celestial Eyes revealed a central mass of white light! The Seed of Creation! ”Iʼm going to transform all of this; Iʼm going to create new material! Itʼll work. Itʼll work. Definitely!”

Wei Wuyinʼs Eye of Creation had a unique power that could nurture and reproduce materials of the world, and it seemed connected to the Material Dao. But he felt an urge to try something, and that was using it not just for nurturing, but generating new material! When he used the Scarlet Jade as a test earlier, he had infused his Grand Earth Intent into it, giving it a remarkable change in not only grade but quality.

Without further delay, he looked at the Soul Ashes of Divine Jade. The Eye of Creation directly absorbed its form! He tapped into his Shifting Elemental Primary Soul Light and Elemental Origin Intent, mustering up a tremendous amount of spiritual energy, and began to brew!

After two minutes, the Soul Ash of Divine Jade was formed in the Seed of Creation, and with a forceful exertion, the Soul Ash of Divine Jade had lost its cyan color, becoming entirely white.

Wei Wuyinʼs eyes were incredibly wide, and Bai Lin was next to him, her eyes focused keenly on this new material. A material forged from Soul Ash of the Divine Jade, Elemental Origin Intent, and Shifting Elemental Primary Soul Light!

Suddenly, the ash turned into flames. Then, the flames became specks of droplets. Then, the droplets became blobs of magma. Then…

It kept shifting until it once again settled into being white-colored ash!

”...” Wei Wuyin looked at Bai Lin, who met his gaze with the same intensity, and they lingered there for a few seconds.

”YES!!” They shouted. It worked! He didnʼt have 100% confidence that it would work! But it worked!

”What do we call it?” Wei Wuyin was in his feelings when Bai Lin asked, causing him to freeze. He looked at the strange soul-based material that contained the aspects of the nine elements and its endless permutations.

”What do you think?” Wei Wuyin asked. He wasnʼt the best at naming things. Furthermore, this was merely a single version. He intended to make versions for all his Primary Soul Light, to design a specific alchemical product that could replenish Soul Light of any type, including for all types of Primary Light.

This material was the new catalyst for a unique product. There was a certain name for this type of product: A Specialized Product with Infinite Variations! Moreover, this wouldnʼt just help his new product! This would open up endless variations to the False Worldly Domain generated by the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill!

If before, the Worldly Domain generated was pure, non-attributed, then this would produce unique Worldly Domains! A Worldly Domain of Fire! A Worldly Domain of Elemental Origins!

An entirely new product line was designed off this sole experiment.

Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill: Elemental Water Variant!

Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill: Elemental Fire Seed!

Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill: Elemental Origin Domain!

Whatever the hell the name is, this would allow those who consumed this pill to use their Worldly Domains to have countless references and a pool of readily available insights into Intents! Not to mention its enhancement in power!

Bai Linʼs eyes grew serious. It took her a long minute before she suddenly said in a low tone, ”Neo-Dawn Soul Ash?”

”...” Wei Wuyin gave Bai Lin a lifted brow. Wasnʼt that name…too on the nose? At least she didnʼt have Kratosʼ naming sense.

Thump!

Wei Wuyin felt a growling rumble come from his heart. He couldnʼt help but smile.

”How about Infinite Dao Soul Ash?” As if struck by a spark of enlightenment, Bai Lin looked at the material and felt as if something hit her. When the name was spoken, Wei Wuyin felt his heart race.

”Infinite Dao Soul Ash…” As he said this, he felt as if the entire world rippled for the briefest of moments. Did he just speak into existence a materialʼs name thatʼll last forever? He felt that, if there were divinations performed to discover what this material was, itʼll always be Infinite Dao Soul Ash.

”I like it! I like it!” Ori chimed in her feelings towards the name.

”Itʼs okay, I guess. Not better than Sky Dragon Gate.” Kratos puffed out a soft roar, clearly sticking to its guns.

”Tch.” King accepted it.

”You still need to devise a method or spell that can create this material without you,” Eden didnʼt mind the name, but it pointed this out. Even if its a new material, if others couldnʼt create it, then wasnʼt it worthless to have a name? However, since the Everlasting Spirit of Nine Flames existed, he should be able to create a variation of using lower forms of Primary Light and Intent through continuous infusion to produce something similar through a spell.

Wei Wuyin nodded, his emotions calming down. He reached for the Infinite Dao Soul Ash, intending to properly seal it. ”I wonder if this material can be used to eventually create an easier way to achieve Primary Soul Light besides the transcendent World-Light Refraction Elixir,” He casually asked no one in particular.

”...!” Wei Wuyin instantly froze up. He slowly, extremely slowly, lifted the Infinite Dao Soul Ash to his eye-level. A bright, brilliant, and charming smile emerged on his handsome face. But then, his eyebrows furrowed.

”Letʼs focus on one thing for now,” Wei Wuyin placed this idea at the back of his mind. Right now, he was going to create three more Infinite Dao Soul Ashes, one for each of his remaining Astral Souls!
