Fusion of the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, Refining a Supreme Treasure

Blood-red flames, resembling karmic fire yet not truly karmic fire—this was a type of flame Minghe specialized in for refining artifacts.

As Minghe spat out this Blood Flame, it swelled instantly with the wind, expanding to envelop all thirty-six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls entirely.

Minghe began to temper the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls with the Blood Flame, causing them to merge with one another.

This was achievable. After all, the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls formed a set, each one essentially identical.

All combined into a single, unique Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.

Yes, Minghe was not aiming to refine any Twenty-Four Heavens or Thirty-Six Heavens.

Instead, he wanted to return the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls to their origin, forging them into a single "Chaos Pearl."

Just as Hongjun had gathered fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation to reforge a "Jade Disc of Creation,"

Minghe too sought to collect the fragments of the Chaos Pearl and reforge a single "Chaos Pearl" from them.

Of course, relying solely on the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls was impossible. Even if all thirty-six fused into one, it would not become a Chaos Pearl.

But Minghe now had a method: planting the Hollow Willow Tree before him into it.

Thus, the Hollow Willow Tree would become the World Tree within the "Chaos Pearl."

Within the "Chaos Pearl," a world would naturally be opened up.

And this world would continue to expand as the Hollow Willow Tree grew.

That was Minghe's plan.

However, just as Minghe was tempering the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, suddenly, the system's prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding, detected that Nuwa has sensed her opportunity for sainthood and is searching for it. Host may make the following choices."

"Choice One: Guide Nuwa to the right path, allowing her to successfully create humanity, attain the Dao, and become a saint. Reward: Mediation of Creation."

"Choice Two: Ignore this matter. Reward: One Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation."

Hearing the system's prompt, Minghe's heart stirred. Nuwa creating humanity? So soon?

Minghe felt a bit conflicted and helpless, but there was no need to dwell on it.

He was still busy with his own affairs; how could he spare time to guide Nuwa?

"System, I choose two." Minghe silently recited to the system.

And as Minghe made his choice, the reward was soon delivered to the system space.

Another Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation. Adding this one, Minghe now possessed four fragments in total.

Minghe paid the fragment no mind and continued tempering the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, a full ten thousand years passed. Under Minghe's tempering, the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls underwent changes.

Each pearl was refined to a crystalline translucence, and faint signs of merging with one another began to appear.

At last, Minghe breathed a sigh of relief. He suddenly moved his hands, rapidly forming hand seals.

As the hand seals took effect, the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls instantly began to spin rapidly.

With them at the center, a vortex appeared, drawing spiritual energy from all directions in a swift surge.

The pearls devoured it all.

In that moment, the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls seemed to become bottomless pits, ceaselessly consuming spiritual energy.

If this were outside, Minghe had no doubt that such an act would surely attract a heavenly tribulation.

After all, what he was doing now was fusing the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls into one.

Separated, the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls were merely thirty-six High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Only when combined as a set did they rival the power of an Innate Supreme Treasure—

not a true Innate Supreme Treasure.

But now, Minghe forging them into a single pearl was a different matter.

This was refining an Innate Supreme Treasure! It would inevitably draw a heavenly tribulation!

Yet that was the case in the outside world. Now, Minghe was on Mount Fangzhang. Strictly speaking, Mount Fangzhang was not part of the Primordial World; at least, it was not under the jurisdiction of the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

It was a celestial island formed from a Chaos Fragment falling into the Primordial World, protected by a primordial Grand Array that isolated it from the Primordial Heavenly Dao's perception.

Thus, Minghe fusing the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls here was very safe.

He had no fear of a heavenly tribulation interfering.

At this moment, under Minghe's hand seals, the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, while devouring the island's spiritual energy, began to merge two by two.

The process went smoothly, completing in just five hundred years.

After the two-by-two fusion, each Sea-Calming Divine Pearl was larger than before.

Only eighteen Sea-Calming Divine Pearls remained, and each of these eighteen Sea-Calming Divine Pearls had also increased in grade.

At this point, a single Sea-Calming Divine Pearl was equivalent to a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

And moreover, it was among the top existences within High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, its power quite astonishing.

Even after the thirty-six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls had become eighteen, they did not stop devouring spiritual energy.

In fact, it became even more intense.

Minghe paid no heed to this and continued forming hand seals, making the eighteen Sea-Calming Divine Pearls merge in pairs once again.

This time, the time consumed was much longer, taking a full five thousand years before it was complete.

The eighteen Sea-Calming Divine Pearls became nine.

These nine Sea-Calming Divine Pearls had expanded another size, their power even greater, each one equivalent to a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"Hoo!"

Minghe let out a long breath. This refining of treasures was truly exhausting.

Fortunately, while refining treasures, it was also a form of cultivation.

Through the continuous fusion of these Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, Minghe could more easily touch upon their origins in the process.

Thus, Minghe also gained many insights.

However, now was not the time to relax. Minghe needed to press on and fuse these Sea-Calming Divine Pearls all the way to the end.

Only nine remained.

Next, Minghe no longer fused them in pairs but one by one.

This process took even longer.

Using two thousand years, Minghe successfully fused one Sea-Calming Divine Pearl with another.

This fused Sea-Calming Divine Pearl was still a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, with no major change.

Then, Minghe took this Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and fused it with another, which took another two thousand years.

After fusing three Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, this one still remained a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

But Minghe could already sense its change; he estimated that fusing one more would cause it to transform into a Supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Sure enough, this time, Minghe took this Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and fused it with yet another.

This time, it took a full four thousand years, nearly five thousand years, before it was finally complete.

This Sea-Calming Divine Pearl had successfully transformed into a Supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
