Chapter 309: Chapter 305: Refining the Purple Light Group Teleportation Gate

Gathering Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi had always been a characteristic exclusive to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures. Yet, the Purple Light Group could also gather it, and in amounts even more terrifyingly vast than the Thunder Heart Spring Wood. After all, Ye Xing had already refined the Thunder Heart Spring Wood; once activated, it could draw in a surging tide of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. But the Purple Light Group hadn’t been refined at all. Simply leaving it there caused the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to come rolling in. This was clearly far more terrifying than the Thunder Heart Spring Wood.

’Huh, wait. I couldn’t refine it before, but my cultivation was only at the Postnatal Realm back then. Now that I’ve broken through to the Innate Realm, why not try refining it with Innate True Essence?’ A flash of inspiration shot through Ye Xing’s mind, and his heart immediately burned with excitement.

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures were precious and rare; one might not even form over several decades. Besides gathering Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, every Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure also possessed its own unique attributes. Successfully refining one granted magical abilities. For instance, the Thunder Heart Spring Wood possessed immense Life Energy and a monstrous Recovery Power. When he was wreaking havoc in the Imperial Palace of Golden Scale Imperial City, it was precisely by relying on the Thunder Heart Spring Wood’s formidable Recovery Power that Ye Xing was able to use the Nameless Sword Techniques three times in quick succession, all while constantly battling the Imperial Army. Such was the advantage of possessing a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure.

’If the Purple Light Group is also a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure and can be refined, what kind of special abilities will it have?’

Passion surged in Ye Xing’s heart, and he grew more fervent the more he thought about it. He immediately activated his True Essence Power. Instantly, streams of Innate True Essence whistled out from his body, enveloping the entire Purple Light Group like strands of silk and beginning to seep inside.

At this attempt, Ye Xing was stunned.

"This... It can actually be refined! HAHAHA, it can really be refined!" Ye Xing’s eyes shone with excitement, and he was absolutely ecstatic.

Although he desperately wanted to refine the Purple Light Group, Ye Xing was largely just trying his luck. He had no real confidence he could actually refine it. After all, he had tried and failed several times before. After so many setbacks, he really didn’t hold out much hope.

However, with just this one attempt, Ye Xing felt his True Essence Power actually seep inside, refining a small part of the Purple Light Group.

’My Postnatal True Qi must have been too low-level before. It seems only Innate True Essence can manage to refine it. This is great! I can really refine the Purple Light Group!’ Ye Xing immediately sat down cross-legged and eagerly began the refining process.

The Purple Light Group flickered with electricity, wreathed in a glowing mist. It emitted a hazy radiance, adrift in a swirl of dense vapor.

Although the Purple Light Group could be refined, Ye Xing found the process difficult and slow. To be precise, his True Essence Power, at the early-stage of the Innate Third Class, was barely sufficient for the task. ’If I had the True Essence Power of a cultivator in the First or Second-class Innate Realm, the refining speed would probably be much faster,’ he thought.

Ye Xing had fully refined the Thunder Heart Spring Wood in just two shichen. Back when his cultivation was still at the Postnatal Realm, he had been able to partially refine it. Now, having broken through to the Innate Realm and using Innate True Essence, he had refined it completely.

However, the difficulty of refining the Purple Light Group was clearly a notch above the Thunder Heart Spring Wood. Though the process was slow, it was only a matter of time. Ye Xing continuously circulated the Innate Skill, activated his Innate True Essence, and threw himself wholeheartedly into the task.

As the refining progressed, lightning danced within the Purple Light Group and electric serpents crackled. The entire cave filled with a dazzling purple light that grew increasingly intense.

It was as if the surroundings were suffused with lightning. Ye Xing could clearly feel a tingling, numbing sensation on his skin, and the electrical Energy was continuously intensifying.

Time passed, drop by drop. Soon, one shichen had passed...

Two shichen had passed...

Five shichen had passed...

In the blink of an eye, another night passed. It was now the second day.

The Purple Light Group seemed to have gone berserk. The entire cave was filled with terrifying electrical Energy. Electric serpents slithered through the air, and bolts of lightning continuously struck Ye Xing, charring his skin black and inflicting an unbearable, searing pain.

The rampaging electrical Energy surged into Ye Xing’s body, wreaking havoc on his meridians.

’Just a little more... I’m so close. Dammit, this is killing me! Ah, I can’t give up now! I’ll risk it all! I have to refine it!’ Ye Xing’s face was deathly pale and his forehead was beaded with cold sweat, yet his gaze remained incomparably resolute as he gritted his teeth and held on.

He had been refining it for a full day and night already. If he stopped now, all his efforts would be for nothing. There was no way Ye Xing would be willing to accept that.

The surrounding purple lightning was terrifying. An ordinary Third-class Innate would have likely been electrocuted to death by the Purple Light Group already. Even with the help of the Thunder Heart Spring Wood, Ye Xing had been severely injured in the process.

His entire body was charred black and wracked with searing pain.

A closer look would reveal a faint green light flowing over his burnt skin; it was clearly the Life Energy from the Thunder Heart Spring Wood, healing his injuries. However, the Thunder Heart Spring Wood’s Life Energy was completely suppressed by the rampaging lightning.

Ye Xing desperately activated the Thunder Heart Spring Wood, but could only manage to protect his vital organs. His muscles and skin, however, bore the full brunt of the lightning’s devastation. The searing pain was an exquisite agony, and the scent of cooked meat began to waft from his body.

But to refine the Purple Light Group, Ye Xing was truly risking it all.

Time trickled by as Ye Xing continued to refine the Purple Light Group, caught between agony and anticipation.

Soon, another shichen or so passed. And just then—

Suddenly, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi contracted sharply. The lightning and electric serpents swiftly receded, all of it flooding into the Purple Light Group.

Lightning still flickered within the Purple Light Group, but it was no longer as violent as before. The terrifying electrical Energy was now completely contained. However, the purple radiance was now more than ten times more dazzling, like a dust-covered pearl revealing its brilliant, treasured luster to the world after being wiped clean!

"Haaaah... I’ve finally finished the initial refinement of the Purple Light Group!" Ye Xing’s expression was a mixture of pain and elation, his excitement palpable.

Having refined the Purple Light Group, Ye Xing could now sense a wondrous connection between himself and it.

Previously, he could use the Purple Light Group as a Teleportation Gate to travel between Earth and the Martial Arts Continent, but that was more akin to borrowing an object—using a small fraction of the Purple Light Group’s abilities.

Now, however, having refined it, Ye Xing had made the Purple Light Group an extension of himself. It was completely and utterly his, and they had established a mysterious connection. The feeling was far beyond anything that mere borrowing could compare to.

With a flicker of his Intention, the purple light instantly surged, transforming into streams of glowing mist that flowed into Ye Xing’s body.

As the Purple Light Group flowed into him, the once-rampaging electrical Energy instantly became incredibly docile. Ye Xing’s electrically-damaged muscles and meridians began to recover at a rapid pace. In the span of just two breaths, all his injuries had fully healed.

His originally charred skin quickly sloughed off as if he were being reborn. The dead skin cracked and peeled away, revealing fair, radiant skin underneath that emanated a lustrous glow. Evidently, after being baptized and tempered by the purple lightning, Ye Xing’s physique had improved by a huge margin.

"HAHAHA, this feels so damn good!"

The bitterness had given way to sweetness, and Ye Xing was elated. ’If I regularly bathe in this purple lightning, my physical defenses will probably reach a ridiculous level! This is so much better than nourishing my meridians with Innate True Essence! And this is just the initial refinement. If I can completely refine the Purple Light Group, I might be able to wield the terrifying electrical Energy within it to attack!’

The Purple Light Group contained terrifying lightning. The vast Energy that had leaked out during his initial refinement was merely the tip of the iceberg.

’Holy crap, how is it the 30th already? It’s the afternoon of New Year’s Eve! I need to get back, quick. I’ve been gone for so many days, Mom and Dad are going to kill me!’ Ye Xing glanced at the time on his phone and couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

Usually, if he didn’t come home, his parents would just nag him a bit. But being away for the New Year? He was bound to get a harsh lecture from them. Besides, he was on the Martial Arts Continent, so his phone on Earth was unreachable. Since they couldn’t contact him, his mom and dad were probably sick with worry.

Not daring to delay any longer, Ye Xing focused his Intention. The Purple Light Group floated out of his body and appeared before him.

"Time to go home, time to go home! I haven’t been back in so long! I have to get back for the New Year!"

With a determined glint in his eye, Ye Xing hurriedly stepped into the Purple Light Group Teleportation Gate, vanishing from the cave on White Cloud Mountain in the Martial Arts Continent.

As he stepped into the Purple Light Group Teleportation Gate, his vision went black, and the scene around him shifted.

But in the next moment, Ye Xing froze.

He found that he had not appeared in the ancient well of his ancestral home on Earth!
