Chapter 1899 - 204: Surging Progress, the Power of Immortal Materials

Li Shui Palace.

The bright moon gradually rose, hovering above the lake.

The lake breeze gently stirred the willow branches.

At this moment.

Life energy surged explosively within Jiang Ning.

The vitality exuding from him caused the surrounding vegetation to grow wildly.

"Good stuff!" His eyes slightly narrowed, shining brightly.

Then he calmed his mind and focused entirely on refining this surge of life energy within him.

The next moment.

He noticed that as the majestic life energy erupted, the Immortal Tree inside him also continued to grow.

Initially, it was in the seedling stage, but with continuous growth, it gradually reached the stage of a true small tree, over two feet high.

After a long while.

The tree grew to about three feet tall before it stopped growing.

But at this moment, its branches and leaves stretched out, the colorful glow swirling around it, appearing increasingly mystical.

Jiang Ning then opened his eyes, and the surrounding vegetation had grown as tall as people, lush and verdant.

[Source Points +97.8]

A prompt suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Seeing the number above, Jiang Ning’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

"An increase of nearly a hundred Source Points, what exactly was that piece of ebony??!" He was shocked in his heart, and couldn’t help but feel secretly alarmed.

A single treasure brought about a Source Points increase of nearly a hundred, which was the most exaggerated increase he had seen to date.

"Could it be the legendary ten-thousand-year Immortal Elixir?" He murmured to himself, a trace of doubt and shock appearing on his face.

Because such a Source Points increase had greatly impacted his heart.

And with the refining of the piece of ebony, the most significant change was the dramatic growth in size of the Immortal Seedling inside him.

Truly completing the transformation from a seedling to a tree.

Approximately reaching three feet tall.

"But it shouldn’t yet be worthy of the term Immortal Elixir!" He secretly shook his head, "But even if it isn’t, it should surely be far beyond the ordinary thousand-year Spiritual Medicine."

This thought inevitably emerged in his mind at this moment.

Because he had used thousand-year Spiritual Medicine before, which did not bring such an exaggerated increase in Source Points.

Let alone affecting the Immortal Seedling within him.

Either of these changes was beyond what a thousand-year Spiritual Medicine could achieve.

[Source Points]: 393.5

Then, he glanced over the panel and promptly closed it.

Even though the Source Points increased, it couldn’t bring about any changes for him.

Now, if he wanted to progress, he needed more than just a little.

His mind whirled, mulling over things for a moment.

He then raised his hand.

The Immortal Sword Red Cloud placed beside him instantly flew into his hand, which he grasped with one hand.

"I hope this Immortal Sword will meet my expectations!" His mind mused, his gaze slightly shifting.

The next moment.

He opened his mouth, and in an instant, the Immortal Sword Red Cloud transformed into a red stream of light and merged into his abdomen.

With the red stream of light entering his abdomen, an incomparably intense wave of heat exploded from deep within him. In an instant, this heat swept through his entire body, and from his pores, scarlet glow burst forth, distorting and steaming the surrounding air.

A white mist rose from the lake surface.

The rock beneath him began to crack.

Vegetation had its moisture evaporated, turning into dust and ash.

"So domineering!!" He was startled in his heart.

As the Immortal Sword Red Cloud entered his abdomen, the purity and strength of this erupting energy were beyond what he had anticipated.

It fell within him like a Great Sun appearing out of nowhere.

"Solar Essence Gold! Truly, it’s the Solar Essence Gold!!" He marveled in his heart.

This type of ore was recorded in ancient texts.

A type of Immortal material.

It’s said to exist within the Sun Star, forged over countless ages by the flames of a billion True Sun Fires.

The Immortal Sword Red Cloud was forged from Solar Essence Gold.

He coveted it not for the sword’s strength.

But because of the preciousness of the Solar Essence Gold Immortal material.

"I wonder if the possibility I imagined might manifest." His thoughts flickered once more, then he composed himself, focusing entirely on devouring and refining.

He hadn’t forgotten that he was still scheduled to meet Ji Mingyue later.

Now, judging by the time, it was getting close.

With his mind set, Jiang Ning made no more hesitation. He slowly closed his eyes and fully channeled his body’s power to devour and refine, merging the essence of Solar Essence Gold contained within the Immortal Sword Red Cloud into himself.

Time ticked away, second by second.

Suddenly.

Flames surged forth, and Jiang Ning’s body, clad in extraordinary clothes, instantly turned to ashes and dissipated.

Then, the scarlet glow bursting from his pores transformed into golden radiance.

At this moment, it was as if a Great Sun rose from within him, the golden light dazzling, with terrifying high temperatures spreading.

The rock beneath him began to melt, turning into glowing molten rock, slowly flowing into the lake.

As the lava touched the lake water, it sizzled, white mist rising and spreading across the lake surface.

Gurgling—

The surrounding lake water began to churn and bubble.

The nearby vegetation further carbonized, losing all moisture.

Rumble—

Suddenly, a distant tree ignited explosively, flames rising, instantly covering the entire tree.

Rumble, rumble, rumble—

As the first tree was ignited by the high temperature, continuously and without end, successive trees burst into flames.

[Sun Scripture Experience Value +1077]

"Indeed, just as I hoped!!" Seeing the prompt appear before him in the first instance, Jiang Ning’s heart leaped with joy.

Then he refocused, dispelling all distracting thoughts, fully immersing himself in the process of devouring and refining the Immortal Sword Red Cloud.

Earlier, after his painstaking refining efforts, he managed to breach Immortal Sword Red Cloud’s constant resistances, and now it was finally truly being refined by him.

Moments later.

The golden light on the Lake Heart Island in Li Shui Lake grew increasingly intense.

The myriad beams of golden light seemed tangible, illuminating all around, tearing the veil of night, making the entire Li Shui Lake bright as day.

The brilliance surpassed the radiant moon in the sky.

And at this moment.

Within the Imperial Palace.

Inside Taihua Hall.

At the celebration banquet.

Wang Yu, still drinking, suddenly turned his head and looked outside. As his eyes slightly shifted, a golden sky was reflected in his pupils.
