Chapter 650: 520 Divine Crystals

After the defeat of the Underworld River ancestor, Poxun consolidated the remnants of the Asura Tribe and sought refuge in the Buddhist door.

Because of this, the Jieyin Saint himself came to accept Poxun as his disciple and named him the master of the Eastern Liuli World.

As the tribal chief of the Asura Tribe, the Pharmacist Liuli Guang like Tathagata naturally has an inexplicably keen sense towards the Asura killing field.

At that time, because the Boundless Star Sand attracted the power of the Cycle of Stars, it created a space leak in the location of the killing field of the Asuras, revealing a bit of its aura.

Pharmacist Liuli Guang like Tathagata’s cultivation reached an incredible level. Having been in the Quasi-Saint realm for many years, he was able to sense the aura of the Asura killing field leak immediately, even if it was only a trace.

With a thought, Pharmacist Liuli Guang like Tathagata sent a message to the current tribal chief of the Asura tribe: "Asura Zun, the Asura killing field is open. Lead the Asura Tribe and retrieve the treasures left there by the ancestor."

After speaking, Pharmacist Liuli Guang like Tathagata took off his rosary beads and threw them to Asura Zun.

In the Spiritual Mountain, Asura Zun caught the rosary beads and respectfully responded: "I will obey the wishes of Buddha!"

The strength of the Asura Tribe is naturally incomparable to that of the Witch and Demon clans, hence, the power of Asura Zun, the tribal chief of the Asura tribe, is just Half-step Dao Monarch, not Innate Dao Sovereign.

However, he has the Original Wish Buddha Bead given to him by the Pharmacist Liuli Guang like Tathagata, which embodies a part of the quasi-saint’s power. With the Buddha bead and its willpower imbued in him, Asura Zun can also fight against the Innate Dao Sovereign.

Due to the change of the Boundless Star Sand, the three top forces sensed it at the same time and sent out masters to the Witch and Demon battlefield.

At this moment, Jiang Chen knew nothing about it, he was busy refining the void in front of him.

Between the battle of Pangu’s real body and the ancient corpse of the Demon Clan, Jiang Chen had an epiphany, understanding how to break the void in front of him.

He wanted to create a divine artifact here, one that would use the Boundless Star Sand as its core, open up a Boundless Star Realm, and then, with the power of the world’s original source, devour this star-filled space from within.

The strongest fortress invariably collapses from the inside first. Though this star-filled space is strong, Jiang Chen has millions of pieces of Boundless Star Sand in his hand, and with the resonance of their original sources, he might well be able to devour this star-filled space.

Persistent in his thoughts, Jiang Chen firstly released a divine consciousness to control Pangu’s true body to block the ancient corpse of the Demon Clan. Then, with a flip of his hand, he took out the mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the bottle of ten thousand stars.

This Innate Spiritual Treasure, which contains millions of Boundless Star Sands, came from the Nine-horned Demon Dragon.

Divine artifacts differ from Innate Spiritual Treasures. The foundation of Innate Spiritual Treasures lie in the Innate Immortal Spirit Light, while the foundation of Divine Artifacts operates through the willpower of sentient beings.

Therefore, creating a divine artifact requires the willpower of sentient beings.

Setting the bottle of ten thousand stars aside, Jiang Chen took out the pre-prepared incense and willpower. He used divine consciousness as a lamp, True Spirits as fire, generating True Spirit Dao Fire, and directed it to burn these sentient beings’ willpower.

Sizzling...

Under the burning of the True Spirit Dao Fire, strands of colorful fog rose from the willpower of sentient beings.

This is the impurity in sentient beings’ willpower, derived from the seven emotions and six desires. It can influence one’s mind and thoughts, causing confusion.

After refining these impurities out, the willpower of sentient beings became increasingly pure. In the end, that mass of sentient beings’ willpower in Jiang Chen’s hand transformed into pure, colorless crystals.

Pure thoughts were naturally transparent, and sentient beings’ willpower radiated multiple colors only because they were tainted by the seven emotions and six desires.

Now, with the seven emotions and six desires all gone, the willpower of sentient beings naturally returned to their original state.

"This object is the essence of the divine Dao; it should be named as ’Divine Crystal’."

With a thought, Jiang Chen gave a name to the essence of sentient beings’ willpower in his hands, and called it ’Divine Crystal’.

This object is the essence of sentient beings’ willpower and holds an inconceivable power. It can manifest anything from the imagination. Of course, all these are based on the number of divine crystals.

The more divine crystals there are, the stronger the items that can be manifested.

At this moment, Jiang Chen doesn’t have many divine crystals at hand. He can’t materialize valuable items, but it’s enough to craft a divine artifact.

Compared to before, Jiang Chen has already crafted three divine artifacts, accumulating sufficient experience, and his technique of crafting has naturally progressed.

Divine Crystal, is the product of that progress.

Previously, Jiang Chen had to gather materials from all over to create Divine Artifacts, using the willpower of all living beings only to nurture the divine spirits within the artifacts.

But now, Jiang Chen has further advanced the usage of all living creatures’ willpower, transforming it into Divine Crystal, which can be used directly as artifact crafting materials.

From this point onwards, if anyone wanted to craft Divine Artifacts, they would need to use Divine Crystals. Or rather, only artifacts made from Divine Crystals are considered orthodox Divine Artifacts.

"Refine!"

Using Divine Ability, Jiang Chen created a mix of Yin and Yang Dao fire, melting the Divine Crystal in his hand, and slowly shaping it into a bowl-like shape.

The bowl is a frequently used device in Buddhism.

After all, Jiang Chen was still going under the guise of a great benevolent and mighty Buddha, planning to propagate his Dao principles in the Buddhist community in the future. However, among all his possessions, he only had one Innate Spiritual Treasure related to Buddhism, a colorful kasaya.

This evidently was not suitable.

Therefore, Jiang Chen took this opportunity to craft a Divine Artifact with Buddhist characteristics, so he could flaunt it in the Buddhist community or, better put, propagate Buddhism in the future.

Before long, a transparent, colorless bowl took shape in Jiang Chen’s hand.

This bowl was what Jiang Chen planned to use to hold the boundless Star Sands. As soon as this treasure was completed, Jiang Chen immediately picked up the Star Vessel from one side, tipping it upside down, and poured the Star Sands inside into the bowl.

Bang!

Sensing danger, the Star Vessel instinctively resisted. The rotating Star Sands resembled a Stars River, emitting strong fluctuations, attempting to smash the bowl beneath.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered frostily. He stretched out a finger and pointed it at the gap in the Star Vessel. Instantly, the lingering Dao Monarch-level power in the Star Vessel exploded, directly shattering the Innate Spiritual Treasure into fragments.

"Refine!"

Jiang Chen didn’t bother with the Star Sands anymore and started to refine the entire thing, the vessel and its Star Sands, all into the bowl.

Humm, humm, humm...

The bowl started to glow, devouring fragments of the Star Vessel bit by bit. At the same time, the features of the Star Vessel began appearing on the bowl.

The Divine Crystal, neither first nor last, lacked any attributes, yet it could blend with all things and inherit all their characteristics. It could be said that the Divine Crystal is the best artifact crafting material, devoid of conflict with any spiritual materials.

Just like now, after devouring the body of the Star Vessel, the bowl had completely inherited all its attributes. It looked as if the Star Vessel had morphed into a bowl, showing no signs of devouring at all.

"Cycle Star Array, rise!"

Having refined the body of the Star Vessel, Jiang Chen began to assemble the boundless Star Sands, guiding them into forming a Cycle Star Array, which little by little, fused with the bowl.

...

...

After an unknown period, all anomalies began to converge, the bowl ceased its tremors, and quietly hovered in Jiang Chen’s hand.

The transparent bowl emitted the brilliance of stars inside which were constantly-moving star-like sands.

At a glance, the sands filling the bowl looked like a condensed constellation of countless stars. The bowl seemed like a small Star Realm, having the eternal stars refined within it.

Within the eternal star-like sands, a Star God was gestating. It looked like a baby, but no one could deny the horror of this baby, its power carrying an undeniably unending essence.

The Boundless Bowl!

A Dao Monarch Level Divine Artifact.

The Star River, composed of countless stars, represented the small world nesting within the Boundless Bowl, the Star Realm.

As for that baby, called Boundless, it was an Innate Star God, the divine spirit nurtured by the Boundless Bowl.
