Luo Chen and Xiang Fei entered the Ninth Ring of the Nine-layered Immortal Tower, a desolate and boundless space filled with chaotic energy. Xiang Fei explained the dangers and the scarcity of safe cultivation stones before departing. Luo Chen then began cultivating, focusing on his Natal Magic Item, the Primordial Chaos Tripod, which unexpectedly began to refine the chaotic energy with newfound power and produce an incredibly pure essence.

Every immortal cultivator strives for comprehensiveness when refining their natal magic item, given the right conditions.

For example, Luo Chen is one such cultivator.

At its inception, the Primordial Chaos Tripod possessed integrated attack and defense, while simultaneously combining suppression, trapping, nurturing, and refining into its five major functions.

The attack and defense capabilities need not be elaborated; the reason these powers were not evident before is that Luo Chen himself had better means of attack and defense.

The trapping function exhibited its power repeatedly during Luo Chen’s Golden Core Period and Nascent Soul Stage, helping him navigate numerous perilous battles.

The suppression ability was not particularly impressive in the past.

However, before his ascension, Luo Chen directly refined three fifth-tier Spirit Mountains into the Primordial Chaos Tripod to enhance its foundation.

If he had suitable opponents, Luo Chen would also have liked to test how formidable the suppression power would be upon summoning the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

After all, those three Spirit Mountains were Heaven and Earth Peak, Mi Realm Mountain, and Primordial Magnet Divine Mountain!

Apart from these functions, the last function of nurturing and refining had quietly been impactful.

In reality, this function played an extremely important role throughout Luo Chen’s hundreds of years of cultivation.

Whether it was pill refinement, tool casting, nurturing magic items, or tempering herbs, all depended on the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Through daily use, Luo Chen naturally knew this nurturing and refining function was also effective in refining exotic energies.

That’s why he attempted to refine chaotic energy using the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

The effects were indeed present!

The same chaotic energy, because the Qi Blood Furnace is sufficiently strong, allowed Luo Chen to convert more qi and blood than others.

For others, it was less than one percent, whereas Luo Chen achieved one to two percent.

After incorporating the Primordial Chaos Tripod, this efficiency multiplied, reaching around two to three percent.

The remaining energy proved too difficult to refine and had to be expelled through impurities from the acupoints.

But!

The situation of a complete refinement just witnessed will never occur!

A surge of chaotic energy was refined through the Primordial Chaos Tripod with a conversion rate reaching one hundred percent!

This represented an increase hundreds of times over.

During the process, no miscellaneous energies were wasted, all transformed into the qi blood power that Luo Chen currently needed most.

Such a feat, if spread, would drive any martial artist insane.

It should be known that even with Luo Chen’s knowledge, he still couldn’t completely distinguish the composition of chaotic energy.

He could perceive various attributes of spirit qi within it, as well as Yinming Sha Qi, Deadly Ghost Qi, Overbearing Demon Qi, among others. There were even elements similar to immortal energy found in Immortal Essence Stones, along with indescribable things.

Even these things were difficult for him to fully refine.

However, the Primordial Chaos Tripod indeed accomplished it.

And the cause of this transformation... was the grey light!

During his sojourn to the Land of Fallen Demons, Luo Chen gained much, encountering many astonishing items.

Such as the pill refinement legacy of the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch, the Wuling Dao Body, and the Harmonization Pill formula requested by Qi Xia Emperor personally.

Yet compared to these items, undoubtedly the most mysterious was that thread of grey light that burst forth when the Refining Heaven Cauldron self-detonated.

Even after hundreds of years, with Luo Chen’s insight, he still couldn’t discern what manner of existence the grey light embodied.

Ordinarily, when seeking it, it remained elusive.

All he knew was that it always resided within the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Unexpectedly, it reacted under these conditions, at this moment and setting.

Luo Chen suppressed the turmoil within himself, striving for calmness.

Ignoring the energy liquid refined, he focused all his attention on the natal magic item.

Grey light and the gray miniature cauldron, of the same color, distinctly juxtaposed.

During the chaotic energy refining process, they gradually merged, becoming indistinguishable.

As the grey light permeated and enveloped, the chaotic energy previously introduced became no longer violent and submissively gentle. The miscellaneous energy compositions separated in an orderly manner.

Then, through the Primordial Chaos Tripod’s operation, they were continually refined one by one.

The entire process was imbued with a sense of "order."

"Order?"

This thought naturally arose in Luo Chen’s mind.

What followed, however, was a sense of absurdity.

The entire Great Destruction Realm, and even the Returning Ruins, claimed to be lands where the Great Dao Path was obliterated, laws incomplete, thus an area of disorder.

In such circumstances, speak of order?

How could Luo Chen not feel this absurdity?

"Observation remains insufficient!"

Luo Chen faintly sensed this might be the greatest opportunity in his pursuit of longevity, and he couldn’t muddle through like before when facing unknowns.

For this, even if it meant taking some risks, it was absolutely necessary.

Resolute in mind, Luo Chen cautiously released a thread of divine perception from the main soul weakened to the extreme within his sea of consciousness.

The entire process closed off all acupoints, ensuring not a trace leaked.

Subsequently, this thread of divine perception silently immersed into the Primordial Chaos Tripod like spring rain.

As the natal magic item for an immortal cultivator, although Luo Chen could barely activate it with qi blood power, divine perception remained the best method of activation.

Now, the appearance of familiar divine perception made the tripod’s changes all the clearer within his senses.

He could sense that due to the incorporation of qi blood nurturing, those vein-like meridians on the tripod were real indeed. And in daily rituals, all materials, including the three divine mountains, were tightly linked together.

He could further sense a constant, vague emission of a "hunger" signal from the Primordial Chaos Tripod, stemming from a lack of qi power nurturing over time.
