I Arrived At Wizard World While Cultivating Immortality Chapter 616: Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, Third Refinement

Chapter 616: Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, Third Refinement

Although Jie Ming already had considerable confidence in attempting to break through to the Void Refinement Realm, he did not mind increasing that confidence further.

In addition to preparing various auxiliary potions for the breakthrough, the natural choice was to re-refine the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror and advance it to the third refinement.

Having decided on the direction, Jie Ming did not rush to act.

He first secluded himself in the laboratory for three days, thoroughly reviewing all the refinement records for the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror.

From the crude techniques used during its initial refinement in the Qi Refinement stage, to the exploratory attempts during its first re-refinement in the Foundation Establishment stage, and then to the mature process during its second re-refinement in the Golden Core stage…

Every record of each refinement had been perfectly preserved, like thick diaries documenting the thousand years of effort and care he had poured into tempering his life-bound treasure. Each re-refinement of the treasure could elevate its power once more.

Each re-refinement added one turn.

The Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror had already undergone two re-refinements and was currently at the second turn.

Those things could not be found at all in the wizard world.

However, years of study in Alchemy Technique had allowed Jie Ming to roughly gather substitute materials, and the core database of the parallel world’s wizard civilization had supplied the final pieces of the puzzle.

Combined with his own modifications to the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror’s refinement techniques, the conditions for the third refinement had essentially been met.

Jie Ming walked out of the laboratory, crossed the eastern plains, and arrived at a smelting chamber deep within the plane.

This was a space he had specially constructed for refining large magical artifacts. Its interior was densely inscribed with rune formations for heat insulation, soundproofing, and isolating energy fluctuations. He sat down before the control panel and tapped a few times on the rune interface.

A low rumbling sound came from the direction of the warehouse as the teleportation formation’s light lit up in succession.

Pre-processed materials were teleported over one after another and neatly stacked on both sides of the smelting chamber.

Although the refinement method had been altered, the fundamentals remained unchanged.

As a treasure that transformed the void into reality, the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror required mostly conceptual or special materials for each re-refinement, with very few physical types.

There were three main materials.

The first was high-spirituality energy crystals. The special property of these crystals was that the energy within them contained a unique spirituality, usually used to enhance the soul.

The second was Eastern Purple Qi. He had spent considerable time accumulating a thumb-sized crystal bottle containing a strand of purple aura. There was also Imperial Flow Paste—Jie Ming had nearly emptied all his remaining stock.

In addition, there were countless miscellaneous minor materials.

At the third refinement, the process of refining the treasure became even more complicated.

Combined with the need to replace original materials with various substitutes, the difficulty of the refinement process increased further.

Jie Ming closed his eyes to rest and mentally rehearsed the entire refinement process.

Every step, every rune, and every adjustment to the heat was repeatedly verified to ensure there would be no mistakes.

Then he opened his eyes and raised his hand in a beckoning gesture.

A magnificent glow lit up from his dantian as the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror flew out from his body and floated in the center of the smelting chamber.

The palm-sized small round mirror flowed with pale golden light. On its surface, countless fine patterns could be vaguely seen slowly wriggling.

Jie Ming adjusted his breathing to peak condition, then formed hand seals with both hands. The formation array activated.

The runes inside the smelting chamber lit up simultaneously as large amounts of Incense Divine Power stored within the Incense Fire Divine Dao were drawn out.

However, this time the Incense Divine Power was not used as material, but as fuel.

The golden divine power burned within the formation array. After passing through multiple layers of transformation, it ultimately released a pure and gentle light.

That was Spirituality Divine Light—a special energy specifically used to nurture the spirituality of treasures. Jie Ming had spent considerable time mastering this application.

At this moment, he extravagantly poured Incense Divine Power into the furnace without restraint, transforming it into overwhelming Spirituality Divine Light that enveloped the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror.

Under the illumination of the divine light, the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror began to change.

Its form shifted from solid to illusory, from tangible to hazy, like a piece of amber illuminated by light, with its internal patterns clearly visible.

From solid to void—this was the first step of re-refinement: temporarily dissolving the treasure’s physical form to expose its core spiritual essence.

Jie Ming did not hesitate.

He raised his hand and sent the high-spirituality energy crystals and various auxiliary materials flying into the shadowy form one after another.

They melted, decomposed, and recombined under the shine of the Spirituality Divine Light, turning into countless fine light particles that merged into the core structure of the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror.

At the same time, Jie Ming’s spiritual power transformed into countless fine threads that shuttled rapidly through the shadowy form, inscribing one new rune after another.

Considering the special nature of the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, Jie Ming had no intention of modifying it for attack or defense capabilities. Instead, he concentrated all the enhancements on increasing the treasure’s spirituality.

He wanted it to become “smarter,” to react faster, and to connect more closely with his own spirit.

After completing the general outline, the Eastern Purple Qi was poured in.

The moment the concentrated purple aura entered the shadowy form, the entire mass of light was dyed with a faint purple hue.

The concept of the sun was inscribed into the core of the treasure, making its connection with “light” even more fundamental.

Imperial Flow Paste followed and merged in.

The pale golden droplets sank into the shadowy form. The mass of light trembled violently, then began to expand.

Spirituality surged wildly. The originally stiff runes began to move on their own, as if they had gained life.

After shifting from solid to void came the shift from void to solid.

Golden light shone from Jie Ming’s forehead. Relying on the computational boost of the Fate Subsystem, he controlled the mass of light, making it slowly contract and condense. Every inch of contraction required precise energy control—too fast would destabilize the structure, too slow would cause spirituality to dissipate.

It was like walking a tightrope; not a single step could be wrong.

When the final wisp of light converged, the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror reappeared in the center of the smelting chamber.

Its outer appearance had not changed much—it was still the same palm-sized small round mirror.

However, the patterns on its surface had become denser and more lively, like countless living snakes slowly wriggling.

Jie Ming could clearly sense that its aura had changed—it had become “alive.”

Previously it had been a magical treasure. Now it felt more like a life that was being nurtured.

Third refinement—complete.

Jie Ming did not rest. He raised his hand, and the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror flew into his palm.

He closed his eyes, connecting his spiritual power with the treasure and sensing the changes within.

Then he opened his eyes, and his body began to transform.

Dark golden light surged from within him, instantly engulfing his entire body.

Light God Transformation!

A dark golden metallic body took shape inside the smelting chamber—smooth, refined, and brimming with power.

Jie Ming looked at his dark golden hands, his eyes filled with delight. “Excellent!”

Fast.

Much faster than before.

Previously, even after years of training and practice, the process from activation to completion still required Jie Ming to pause for a moment.

Now, it was almost instantaneous the moment his mind moved.

Jie Ming estimated that the efficiency had increased by at least fifty percent.

At his current activation speed, Light God Transformation could be called “instant activation.”

He canceled the form, took a deep breath, and golden light shone from between his brows.

The Fate Subsystem operated at full power as Light God Transformation · Annihilation Form activated.

Gray-white flames surged out. This time the speed was slightly slower.

But compared to before, the improvement was still obvious.

“Activation efficiency has increased by about twenty percent. The original preparation time of over ten seconds has been reduced to just over eight seconds.” Jie Ming calculated briefly.

Although the improvement was not as pronounced, those extra two seconds could determine life or death on a fierce battlefield.

Jie Ming persisted for a while longer and confirmed that the maintenance time of the Annihilation Form had also increased by thirty percent under the assistance of the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, extending from the original three to five seconds to four to six seconds.

Jie Ming canceled the form and let out a long breath.

Although the improvement to the Annihilation Form was not as obvious as the normal form, the result had already far exceeded his expectations.

After all, the core of the Annihilation Form was the Ashheart Flame of an eighth-rank wizard. At his current level, a twenty percent increase was already quite good.

He lowered his head and looked at the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror in his palm. The corners of his mouth curved upward slightly.

The small round mirror lay quietly, its surface patterns slowly wriggling as if responding to his gaze.

“Go back.”

The Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror turned into a streak of flowing light and sank into his dantian.

Jie Ming stood up, walked to the warehouse interface in the corner of the smelting chamber, and retrieved a batch of Mortal Dust Qi.

The mist carrying the aura of desires surged into his dantian under the guidance of his spiritual power, slowly circulating around the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror.

Jie Ming sensed the pulsing of the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror within his dantian and nodded in satisfaction.

Previously, the enhancement of the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror’s spirituality by Mortal Dust Qi had already reached its own limit. Now it could continue to strengthen.

Once its spirituality grew strong enough, strong enough to autonomously access the Fate Subsystem for auxiliary calculations, his combat power would rise to another level.
