Chapter 843 Deter (1/2)

Chen Feng walked back and forth, circling around the altar once as he looked at the great halberd there in shock. The majesty of an Immortal artefact that it was emanating had completely captivated Chen Feng. In his opinion, that was no ordinary Immortal artefact.

“Tower, what do you think?” Chen Feng secretly asked Tower.

Tower ruminated for a moment before saying, “This Immortal artefact is already on the brink of levelling up to become a high-grade Immortal artefact. I am incapable of suppressing it.”

“That’s a shame.” Chen Feng knew; if the Longevity Tower could devour this Immortal artefact, it would surely be able to recover a great deal of its power.

Still, it was obvious that the Longevity Tower was presently not strong enough to do so. At any rate, the difference between a low-grade Immortal artefact and a mid-grade Immortal artefact was simply too big.

Rather, there were even distinctions between magic treasures of the same grade.

This great halberd before them was a pure lightning-type magic treasure. The fact that it could create the entire Lightning Region by its existence here was enough proof of how powerful it was.

“This Immortal artefact is completely intact. It’s a very rare object. Looks like I will have to think of something,” Tower muttered.

“Although we cannot collect it, cultivating here will bring a great deal of benefits. Let’s level up the Lightning Bead first.” Chen Feng brought out the Lightning Bead.

Weng!

The lightning powers here were different from the lightning powers he had encountered previously. Although they were also astral lightning containing highly destructive power, these astral lightning powers were filled with the power of the Immortal artefact and spiritual attributes. It did not blindly destroy. Rather, Chen Feng could sense life within the astral lightning strands.

The strands of astral lightning entered the Lightning Bead, causing it to shake. Notions of joy kept assailing Chen Feng’s mind.

Looks like the Lightning Bead’s rise is already a sure thing. Sensing that surprised Chen Feng.

Chen Feng then sat down cross-legged as the Lightning Bead hovered above his head, ceaselessly devouring the astral lightning emanating out from the Immortal-tier great halberd.

In truth, Chen Feng was not the only one refining magic treasures here. Most of the cultivators who could make it here were those cultivating the grand dao of lightning. Thus, they would either sit around the altar to study the immortal dao laws that the Immortal artefact was emanating or use the lightning powers to refine their magic treasures.

Weng!

A formidable aura suddenly charged high into the air and an Earthen Immortal laughed happily. At that very moment, he no longer looked like a cultivator who had been cultivating for tens of thousands of years. Instead, he looked like a child who had just received a toy.

“This Thunderclap Blade of mine should have taken hundreds if not thousands of years to level up. Unexpectedly, it would be able to level up after just nine years! Not to mention, my cultivation base has also reached the peak level!” The Earthen Immortal held a blade flashing with lightning radiance, regarding it time and again with a look of joy.

“Congratulations!”

“Congratulations on the leap in your Thunderclap Blade’s artefact grade!”

Some of the cultivators there who were acquainted with him stepped forward to congratulate him.

After giving the situation a glance, Chen Feng continued refining his Lightning Bead. During this time, some other cultivators had tried to make their way into the altar as well only to be stopped by Sword Immortal Fivebolt, the youngster that Chen Feng and Immortal Pining Butterfly had met back then.

Chen Feng had gotten to know the rules here. In order to enter and study the Immortal artefact, a cultivator must be strong enough. At the very least, he or she must be able to fight against a mid-level Earthen Immortal. Although Chen Feng and Immortal Pining Butterfly had not actually displayed that back then, Patriarch Wildbolt had been incapable of defeating them. Thus, they had passed, albeit barely.

One month quickly went by.

On this particular day, the Lightning Bead shook violently. Through the many layers of space, Chen Feng was able to sense Heavenly Tribulation forming high above, in the depths of the universe. Next, a torrent of power smashed its way through space to descend upon the Lightning Bead.

However, due to the aegis of the great halberd, the Heavenly Tribulation quickly dissipated. The Lightning Bead hovering above Chen Feng’s head grew big before growing small, again and again at a rapid rate. In the end, it returned to its normal size, but the grand dao laws that it emanated had become even more concise.

It has finally levelled up. Chen Feng reached out to grab the Lightning Bead. The Lightning Bead had become a high-grade Dao artefact and its offensive power had doubled. Even the rate at which it could absorb lightning powers had risen to a much higher level. The rise in the Lightning Bead’s grade also triggered a massive increase in the rate of levelling for the other magic treasures within Chen Feng’s body.

Chen Feng was only just about to absorb some astral lightning strands to stabilize the situation when a huge lightning hand charged through the air, grasping at the Lightning Bead in Chen Feng’s hand.

As expected, some people are incapable of holding back. Chen Feng scoffed inwardly.

Although all of the cultivators there were Earthen Immortals, the Lightning Bead was now already a high-grade Dao artefact. Even the eyes of some high-level Earthen Immortals with somewhat weaker combat powers would go red at seeing it.

Additionally, while there were some high-level Earthen Immortals or higher there, most of them were only mid-level or starter-level Earthen Immortals.
