Chapter 179: Cloud Star Mother Essence

At this moment, Yang Tian remembered something and suddenly slapped his forehead. His eyes hesitated for a moment before he said uncertainly, “Uncle Xiao, this also records a secret technique, but it’s too illusory—merging the anomalies together to form the Grand Zhou Chaos Diagram!”

“What?!” Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao’s illusory body stiffened abruptly. He actually exclaimed in shock, his face full of disbelief, with a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing this, Yang Tian scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. The secret technique recorded in the jade slip was too illusory, impractical, and incomplete.

“What does it say?” Yang Xiao pressed urgently, because he knew clearly that in ancient times there was a prodigious figure who had condensed this anomaly, and it was terrifyingly powerful.

"Uh... it's about manifesting many visions, evolving chaos, using the celestial visions as the outer matrix, and the thick earth as the foundation to evolve a chaotic vision. But the records are very vague, with no detailed explanation..."

"So that's how it is. What a pity..." Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao shook his head and sighed, looking as if he wanted to beat his chest and stomp his feet. The Great Cycle Chaotic Vision, a vision that superseded the celestial visions, was called the number one vision in ancient times when chaos did not emerge! Extremely terrifying.

"Uncle Xiao, is this vision very powerful?" Yang Tian hurriedly pressed. He also had several visions within him, which would become a big trouble once they grew.

"Of course it's powerful..." Yang Xiao recounted that monstrous figure from ancient times, who had as many as eight visions within him! In the end, unable to manage them, he actually evolved a brand-new vision, truly a prodigy of his generation!

After listening to Yang Xiao's account, Yang Tian couldn't help but smack his lips. Unfortunately, the information recorded there was too sparse, far from complete.

"Wait until you break through to the next stage; when the opportunity comes, it may happen naturally." Yang Xiao let out a long sigh, feeling extremely chaotic and terrifying.

Just then, Yang Xiao's hand shook slightly, and a stone about the size of a thumb appeared in his palm.

Crystalline and translucent, the stone dripped with silver radiance, dazzling and beautiful. On the stone were silver specks, each speck like a star, very beautiful, with mysterious energy flowing within.

Though the stone was small, it had countless specks of light, like a sky full of stars, dreamlike in color, and a sense of divinity spread inside the stone.

"Uncle Xiao, what divine material is this?" Seeing this, Yang Tian rubbed his hands and couldn't help asking. This material emitted a very strong star power and contained astonishing divinity.

"This is Cloud Star Mother Essence." Hearing this, Yang Xiao smiled. This Cloud Star Mother Essence was obtained from beyond the domain; it couldn't be found in the Eastern Continent because it was a meteorite from the heavens!

"So this is the legendary Cloud Star Mother Essence." A burning heat surged in his eyes, and Yang Tian's throat moved slightly. He had heard of this divine material; it was said to be extremely hard and could draw upon star power.

"Using this divine material plus half the amount of Bloodthirsty Demon Crystal to forge a small artifact, the artifact's power should increase dramatically, and its growth rate will be very fast."

Hearing this, Yang Tian pursed his lips, his eyes full of fervor. He secretly regretted that the amount of Bloodthirsty Demon Crystal was too small; if it were several times larger, allowing all seven stars to absorb blood, it would be heaven-defying.

"Heh, don't get too excited too soon. You think divine materials are easy to melt, especially materials like Cloud Star Mother Essence and Bloodthirsty Demon Crystal, which are extremely hard." Yang Xiao suddenly smiled. Even with his cultivation, melting the divine material would take a long time.

"Hehe, there's no rush." Yang Tian rubbed his hands together and took out the Bloodthirsty Demon Crystal, a blood-red stone from which a bloodthirsty aura spread.

The two divine materials shone in mutual radiance. Yang Tian's eyes gleamed—these were divine materials, which even ancient aristocratic families might not be able to find a single piece of. Artifacts refined from such divine materials could eventually evolve into celestial artifacts, or even, with enough fortune, have a slim chance of evolving into divine objects!

At this moment, Yang Tian sat cross-legged, his belly slightly bulging. Suddenly, his mouth opened wide, and a mouthful of crystal-clear qi and blood sprayed out.

The qi and blood were pure, suffused with battle energy, like precious jade, causing even the vacuum to ripple faintly. Yang Tian spat out three mouthfuls of crimson qi and blood in succession.

"Fuse!" Gazing at the large mass of qi and blood in the void, Yang Tian suddenly shouted, and at the same time, his soul force surged out explosively.

The rainbow-like qi and blood roiled. Under the guidance of Yang Tian's soul force, the mass of crimson qi and blood gradually transformed into a ten-zhang-tall crimson cauldron, containing vast amounts of qi and blood.

This crimson cauldron had three legs and two ears. Crimson light shot from its mouth, and blood flames burned within, exuding an immensely vast aura.

On the body of the cauldron was a strange beast, with a dragon-like head emitting flames, two small crimson horns like antlers, a body covered in dense crimson scales, and surrounded by crimson clouds.

This was the legendary qilin divine beast, which had only made fleeting appearances even in ancient times. The qilin, revered as an auspicious beast, only followed those with surging great fortune.

Looking at the great cauldron before him, Yang Tian took a deep breath and threw the Cloud Star Mother Essence into the cauldron.

"Sizzle..." As the Cloud Star Mother Essence fell into the cauldron, the silver light around it blazed brightly. Layers of silver radiance cascaded down like a small river of stars, threatening to annihilate the blood burning within.

"Truly worthy of being a divine material—it can launch attacks autonomously and already possesses intelligence." Seeing this, Yang Tian clicked his tongue. The power of divine materials was formidable; if it continued, the blood flames would be directly extinguished.

"Refine!" Suddenly, Yang Tian let out a soft shout. The qi and blood furnace trembled violently, and the blood flames surging inside exploded several zhang high, directly piercing through the cascading silver radiance.

Sensing the changes within, Yang Tian opened his mouth and exhaled, spitting out several mouthfuls of rainbow-like qi and blood that descended into the great cauldron.

Rumble! Inside the great cauldron, flames shot into the sky, crimson qi and blood filled the space, and surging battle energy flourished, turning the entire cave dwelling crimson.

The qilin painting on the cauldron seemed to come alive. Surrounded by crimson clouds, it floated up, and the flames burning inside the cauldron directly doubled in intensity.

Rumble! Sonic booms resounded. The Cloud Star Mother Essence clanged, sparks flying. The entire piece was enveloped in blood flames, but the silver light it emitted remained extremely powerful.

Yang Tian was not surprised by this. If it had melted immediately, he would have suspected it was a fake. This material would not melt in less than ten days.

Yang Tian opened his mouth and exhaled. The dense qi and blood decreased rapidly. The heat waves emanating from inside the cauldron were scorching hot, with blood flames dozens of zhang high burning into the air.

As the furnace changed, the qilin beast stepped forward, and the cauldron's power surged, burning like a blazing furnace.

Sensing that his qi and blood were nearly depleted, Yang Tian cast a weary glance, then took out a brand-new top-grade blood stone to fully restore his qi and blood.
