Chapter 164: Binding Immortal Rope
Having successfully completed the storage ring,
next came the treasure for storing spirit materials.
As soon as Bai Ruo Xin placed the corresponding spirit mine on the stone platform, Yi Chen immediately began the refining process.
Before long, several jade boxes, each measuring one meter long and thirty centimeters high, emerged in a light blue color.
These jade boxes had one main function: to lock in spirit energy.
They also contained Space Stone, allowing the true capacity to reach a hundred times their outward appearance.
Although the effect wasn’t as strong as Yi Chen had hoped, they were sufficient for collecting some medium to low-quality spirit materials.
After spending most of the day, Yi Chen finally stopped after refining ten jade boxes at once.
"Two of these spirit material jade boxes will go to each of the four armies, leaving the last two in the Artifact Forging Room to store various spirit materials collected by the four armies."
Bai Ruo Xin nodded and stored the ten spirit material jade boxes in her storage ring.
Next, they focused on the binding-type treasures.
Due to its grade reaching the fourth rank, this particular treasure took more than half a day to successfully refine.
As the temperature of the flames cooled, a treasure that was only about ten centimeters long appeared. It was made of spirit mine and was as soft as a silver rope.
“Come, help me test the power of this Binding Immortal Rope!”
Yi Chen casually gave this treasure an impressive name.
Although it was merely a fourth-rank treasure, the name was quite a match.
However, as a binding-type treasure, it would be very useful in many situations. He would definitely refine and upgrade it when suitable materials became available.
Unlike the defensive treasure that hung around his neck, which would become useless once its energy and defensive properties were depleted; Yi Chen couldn’t even be bothered to think of a name for that one.
"How do we test it?"
Bai Ruo Xin asked curiously.
"Let’s see if you can dodge."
Yi Chen smiled as he dripped a drop of blood infused with divine consciousness and spirit power onto the Binding Immortal Rope.
A faint and almost imperceptible connection formed instantly.
Faintly, Yi Chen sensed a hint of spirituality within the Binding Immortal Rope.
This delighted him greatly.
Indeed, fourth-rank treasures possessed a certain level of spirituality.
With this, he could utilize the connection between divine consciousness and spirituality to enhance the effectiveness of the Binding Immortal Rope.
Bai Ruo Xin quickly understood. Using the Cloud Treading Technique, she instantly appeared in the corner of the Artifact Forging Room.
Her delicate face turned serious, and spirit power surged within her.
She readied herself!
Her gaze fixed on the Binding Immortal Rope in Yi Chen’s hand.
Yi Chen’s spirit power surged into the Binding Immortal Rope.
With a wave of his hand, the Binding Immortal Rope transformed into a silver light, swiftly traveling several meters.
Before Bai Ruo Xin could react, she felt something wrap around her body.
Looking down, she saw that the originally short Binding Immortal Rope, now only about ten centimeters long, was winding around her and extending its length, binding her tightly.
???!
A look of grievance filled her delicate face.
Was this a test or a mockery?
"…"
Yi Chen was also a bit speechless.
The power of the fourth-rank Binding Immortal Rope was much stronger than he had expected.
…
“Oh my, is a fourth-rank treasure really this powerful?”
“Bai Ruo Xin’s current strength, coupled with the Cloud Treading Technique, may not be stronger than a Level Fierce Beast, but her speed is at least not slower. Yet, in the face of this Binding Immortal Rope, she couldn’t even react and was directly bound.”
“This treasure is truly strong!”
“I’m a bit panicked. Once this Binding Immortal Rope becomes widely used, how will I escape when my mom wants to beat me?”
“Another powerful treasure! It feels like if it weren’t for the variety of spirit mines, Yi Chen could almost refine countless treasures with different functions.”
“I really want to learn weapon refining technique…”
The audience in the live room gasped in amazement.
This Binding Immortal Rope was indeed a treasure capable of restraining enemies.
Even if Yi Chen faced opponents of the same level, with this Binding Immortal Rope, he could likely win easily.
…
In the Artifact Forging Room,
Seeing Bai Ruo Xin’s lamenting expression, Yi Chen felt a bit helpless.
To test the power of the Binding Immortal Rope, did he really need to go out and find those powerful fierce beasts to try?
The four armies had expanded a lot and had accumulated some fierce beasts they couldn’t kill.
With the flying treasure, he wouldn’t have to worry about wasting time on the journey.
But just to test the Binding Immortal Rope, making this trip felt a bit unwise.
Perhaps…
His eyes suddenly lit up.
With a shift in his thoughts, he tried to connect with the hint of spirituality in the Binding Immortal Rope through his divine consciousness, conveying his orders.
The next moment, a silver light flickered.
The Binding Immortal Rope instantly released Bai Ruo Xin and rushed swiftly towards Yi Chen.
Yi Chen unleashed the Cloud Treading Technique to its utmost, transforming into a fleeting shadow.
While using his divine consciousness to sense the position of the Binding Immortal Rope, he rapidly darted around the not-so-spacious Artifact Forging Room.
One person and one rope engaged in a game of chasing each other within the room.
Even with Bai Ruo Xin’s keen eyesight, things appeared a bit blurry.
After breaking through to the first level of the Heart Tribulation Stage, Yi Chen’s speed had increased at least three to four times compared to when he battled the Gale Tiger.
…
"This Binding Immortal Rope can actually track enemies as if equipped with a positioning system?"
"Wow, after Yi Chen broke through to the Heart Tribulation Stage, his speed has reached this level!"
"It seems that this Binding Immortal Rope may be significantly less effective against someone as fast as Yi Chen."
"Not necessarily. Even if the speed matches Yi Chen’s, don’t forget that this Binding Immortal Rope doesn’t require direction or control, adding a huge threat that’s hard to guard against."
"Exactly! If the Binding Immortal Rope has strong binding abilities, it would be a perfect treasure. Its only weakness is that as Yi Chen’s strength increases, the rope’s effectiveness may diminish."
"But with the right materials, Yi Chen will definitely be able to refine the Binding Immortal Rope, enhancing its speed and binding power."
The audience in the live room watched the Binding Immortal Rope with sparkling expressions of envy.
Having such a treasure in hand is like having a personal bodyguard.
If unable to defeat an opponent, they could use the Binding Immortal Rope to buy time.
If they could defeat the opponent, they could use the Binding Immortal Rope to bind and capture them.
…
Among the various tribes, even though members of the Intelligence Organization had different appearances and were separated by millions of light years, their gazes were surprisingly unified.
Envy, jealousy, and hate!
Damn it! This greatest genius in human history is undoubtedly the most exceptional genius in skills creation across the entire star cluster!
Clearly, their strength isn’t impressive.
Yet, the skills they create are more astonishing than the last.
Their weapon refining technique is incredibly miraculous.
It can turn waste into treasure, fusing together scraps of fourth-grade Space Stone, even increasing the space within the Space Stones by a hundredfold.
This is something even the strong of various tribes cannot accomplish.
Now, he has created another amazing Binding Immortal Rope.
In the eyes of the strong from various tribes, this Binding Immortal Rope may not seem extraordinary.
But they are certain that top geniuses of various tribes, equal in strength to Yi Chen, could not use fourth-grade spirit mines to create a treasure with the same power as the Binding Immortal Rope.
Even the strong of various tribes might not manage it.
They can use higher-quality spirit mines to forge more powerful treasures.
However, they still cannot use fourth-grade spirit mines to create treasures of the same level as the Binding Immortal Rope.
Humanity may have to wait a few more years for storage rings and Binding Immortal Ropes to become common.
In contrast, they have little hope.
Although the strong of various tribes claim to have developed skills that can accelerate the cultivation of their tribe members, the rumored progress may just be empty words.
Once they receive the news, they may start researching ways to improve their treasure-making techniques.
But only ordinary tribe members will believe it.
Members of the Intelligence Organization know much more than regular tribe members.
The innate talent for cultivation among the various tribes far surpasses that of humanity.
The vertical eyes of the Three-Eyed Tribe can directly absorb spirit energy and convert it into power, the wings of the Angelic Beings can absorb light to transform it into energy, and the bodies of the Frost Tribe can directly absorb cold air as energy…
These are rare special talents from birth.
In addition, the physical qualities of the various tribes are far greater than those of humanity from the moment they are born.
The greatest special talent humanity has is the ability to create.
Their individual strength is so weak that they can barely fight beasts. Yet, they rely on their creative ability to become one of the dominant powers in the galaxy.
It’s possible that any random human with creative talent could outshine top geniuses from other tribes in this area.
As for Yi Chen, his talent for creating skills is unmatched by anyone in humanity, causing the entire race to have to learn from him.
When the strong of various tribes try to imitate Yi Chen to create better cultivation methods or techniques for refining treasures, the outcome is quite predictable.
The rumors of the strong of various tribes are merely an indication that this star cluster is currently in a period of upheaval, with a looming race war.
On one hand, they hope to instill fear in humanity, making them wary.
On the other hand, they aim to soothe their own members’ spirits.
The uninformed tribe members are filled with anticipation and hope.
Either way, they do not believe it.
…
In the Dan Refining Room,
After four or five minutes, Yi Chen tested the speed and agility of the Binding Immortal Rope and then came to a stop.
He let the Binding Immortal Rope bind him.
Spirit power surged within his Qi Sea,
constantly crashing against the Binding Immortal Rope that wrapped around him.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
After half a minute, Yi Chen halted.
At his current level of strength, he could not escape the Binding Immortal Rope’s hold.
With a thought,
the Binding Immortal Rope began to loosen and shrink until it became a silver thread only a few inches long.
Then, Yi Chen placed it into the storage ring.
He felt very satisfied with this treasure.
Its speed, binding ability, and flexibility all met his expectations.
Of course, it wasn’t without its flaws.
The most pressing issue was that the Binding Immortal Rope had no self-growth ability, meaning its effectiveness would only diminish over time.
Additionally, while the Binding Immortal Rope could absorb outside spirit energy, if he exhausted the spirit power he input, it would no longer be able to track.
Lastly, the spirit sensitivity within the rope was still too weak, showing no intelligence whatsoever.
Unless he devoted some energy to control it with his divine consciousness, it could easily be countered.
Fortunately, these drawbacks could be improved through re-refining in the future.
With the Binding Immortal Rope successfully made,
the final step was to reforge a spiritual sword and a flying treasure using the newly acquired spirit mine materials.
This could be completed in half a day.
After adding Space Stones and another kind of spirit mine, the spiritual sword could not only change size but also gained a significant power boost.
The flying treasure, after including Space Stones and more Wind Stones, remained a small stone house but could now vary in size.
When not needed, it could be shrunk to the size of a fist and placed in the storage ring.
At maximum, it could expand to over a hundred square feet.
The only drawback is that there’s currently no way to resolve the issue of accommodating living beings—making the stone house unchangeable in size while providing a vast interior space.
A flying treasure that can enlarge or shrink, boasting impressive defense and speed, with each room forming its own space, comparable to a small world palace, is what Yi Chen envisions as the ultimate form of a flying treasure.
