Chapter 1219: Chapter 515: Lifebound Dharma Treasure Completed [8000 Characters Mega Chapter Subscription Request]_5

Next, he had an even more important task to undertake: the forging of his Lifebound Dharma Treasure, the “Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron.”

The supplementary chapters of the “Golden Cauldron Profound Technique” recorded various methods for crafting Lifebound Dharma Treasures, but the “Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron” was undoubtedly the most compatible artifact for this cultivation technique, as well as the most profound of treasures.

Zhou Chun had long been filled with anticipation for this treasure.

Now that the time had finally come to forge this Lifebound Dharma Treasure, he wasted no time. Without hesitation, he entered the artifact refining chamber within his cultivation cave and shut himself in to start crafting the treasure.

Inside the refining chamber, precious spirit materials for magic artifacts were taken out one after the other, arranged methodically around Zhou Chun.

Earth Mother Profound Gold, Geng Metal, Starfall Gold, Taibai Gold Silver Star Iron, Heavenly Mystery Goldsand, Goldstar Stone, Millennium Profound Iron, Gold Essence, Silver Essence, Iron Essence–all kinds of spirit materials came together in dazzling assortment.

The combined value of these materials was enough to exchange for a High-Grade Magical Treasure with ease.

But now, all of them were being used to forge a single Lifebound Dharma Treasure.

If an outsider saw this scene, they would undoubtedly be flabbergasted.

Even Zhou Chun himself, looking at the collection of spirit materials he had painstakingly gathered through various means, felt his heart surge with excitement.

The method for crafting the “Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron” had already been studied thoroughly by him; his technical proficiency was more than adequate.

At present, he could even forge a second-tier High-Grade Magic Artifact with a certain degree of success.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Chun first waved his hand, summoning several large chunks of Millennium Profound Iron and using his Golden Elixir True Fire to refine this material, eliminating its impurities.

It’s worth noting that most spirit materials for magic artifacts cannot be tempered long in advance of forging.

Since these materials are formed naturally over time, excessive exposure to fire will activate their latent energies, causing them to dissipate slowly.

If these materials are tempered too long before refining, it will result in a significant loss of their innate spiritual qualities.

The sheer amount of materials Zhou Chun was using this time, coupled with their exceptional quality, meant that just the process of refining them consumed a great deal of his time.

It took him as long as two full years to prepare all the materials.

After finishing their preparation, Zhou Chun took a few days to rest and recover, and then activated a pre-carved Treasure Refining Array.

This Treasure Refining Array had no name; it was a necessary formation for crafting the “Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron,” and not a single mistake could be allowed in its setup.

Every Golden Core Stage Cultivator creates their own unique Treasure Refining Array when forging their Lifebound Dharma Treasure.

This uniqueness is the critical reason why crafting a Lifebound Dharma Treasure is so often successful!

As the array was activated, multicolored radiance surged forth, converging mid-air into a massive sphere of light.

Zhou Chun formed hand seals with both hands, using his Divine Sense to control the array and directing spell after spell towards the enormous sphere of light.

Gradually, the sphere began to change color, shifting into a brilliant gold hue, then dispersing into countless golden runes. Finally, under Zhou Chun’s intricate control of the spells, these runes coalesced into the illusory form of a golden cauldron with two handles and four legs.

Once the illusory golden cauldron stabilized, Zhou Chun melted the many refined lumps of Spirit Gold back into liquid form and poured them into the golden cauldron’s phantom.

At the same time, he exhaled a breath of golden Alchemy Fire, enveloping the cauldron from below and heating it intensely. As one liquid form of Spirit Gold after another was added, the formerly ethereal golden cauldron began to solidify, eventually becoming a molten, fluid golden cauldron.

And now came the true test for Zhou Chun.

He first forced out a large amount of golden-flecked Lifebound Essence Blood, which fell into the cauldron and disappeared the moment it made contact.

With this, Zhou Chun established a bond between his mind and the golden cauldron.

Releasing his powerful Divine Sense, he condensed it to an extreme degree–like a carving knife–and began inscribing countless micro-runes both inside and outside the golden cauldron.

Most of these runes were incomprehensible to him, but they were critical, mandatory engravings specified in the crafting method for the “Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron.” Both their quantity and placement had to be pin-perfect.

Maintaining the stability of the Alchemy Fire, inscribing the runes with Divine Sense, and recovering from the expenditure of a large amount of Lifebound Essence Blood–all of this placed an intense toll on Zhou Chun’s Mana, mental focus, and physical body.

However, Zhou Chun was entirely enraptured by the treasure’s creation, completely disregarding the massive consumptions incurred.

This was an opportunity that could not be missed–the slightest error would be catastrophic.

After an indeterminate stretch of time, Zhou Chun etched the last rune into its destined position, and finally, an anomaly came to pass!

The golden cauldron hovering mid-air suddenly erupted with resplendent light, radiating immense suction power as it absorbed nature’s spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy from within a ten-mile range around Zhou Chun’s cave was stirred up, converging towards the golden cauldron in its entirety.

By this point, Zhou Chun no longer needed to intervene; he withdrew his Alchemy Fire and waited eagerly to witness the culmination unfold!
