Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 446: Xingluo's Path to Rebuilding Magic

As energy particles continued to pour in, the surface of the core began to shimmer with a faint blue glow. This glow was the pulsation of energy, representing the rhythm of life and the awakening of power. Each additional energy flow made the core more stable, and the energy structure inside it gradually became more complex, forming a unique energy matrix. This matrix was like the code of life, encoding countless possible magic spells and spell forms. Xingluo's renovation this time made him notice many details that he had not seen before, which made him very happy and deepened his understanding of the energy of the starry sky, giving birth to many novel ideas. Countless creative magic arrays took shape in Xingluo's mind. For someone like him, every deep meditation can bring considerable progress, and this time it allowed him to create many new magic arrays.

As time goes by, the energy core reaches its peak. It is like a dazzling energy gem, containing a powerful force that can change the world. However, its energy is not violent, but quiet and deep, waiting for the guidance of the starfall, turning this power into a tool for creation and protection. This is the process of the starfall core gathering energy, a mysterious and magnificent natural phenomenon.

Xingluo knew that this was just the accumulation of energy and it could not cause a qualitative change. Only a more violent force could shatter this core and allow him to be promoted to a high-level magician. Perhaps it was because he had just broken through to the intermediate magician. Now no matter how he improved, he could not shake this rock-solid core, which made him inexplicably irritated. However, when his mental power passed by, this boredom was swept away. Although the abyss was rich in dark magic, it was still mixed with some negative emotional energy, which made people who broke through here inexplicably manic. However, Xingluo had the help of the Killing Star and mental power, and this negative emotion could not have a substantial impact on him. It's just that he can't complete the breakthrough now.

Xingluo was not in a hurry. He knew that everything needed accumulation. Good things take time. Now he had no cursed items in his hands. Compared with magic cores, it seemed that these equipments with dark power were more attractive to abyssal creatures, so he naturally regarded them as things that could be traded. Moreover, he had to prepare for the Abyss Society. From what Camilla said, the entrance examination of the Abyss Society should be similar to the certification examination for making cursed items, so it would be good to prepare in advance.

Xingluo took a long breath. Now he had a lot of materials with strong dark power in his hands, which could be used to make cursed objects. However, cursed objects also required a design drawing, just like alchemy, and the appropriate cursed object had to be selected based on the amount and type of dark power contained.

Now that Xingluo has come to the Abyss, he has adapted to the local customs. However, he did not forget to add backdoors to these cursed objects to prevent them from being used against him. This is his style of doing things.

Xingluo began to create curses. He stayed in the inn for a long time and did not attract much attention. Because this is the abyss, no one would think this behavior is abnormal. Most people lack communication, and becoming stronger is the main theme here. Xingluo is also happy about this, as it will save a lot of time.

Xingluo chose an ancient stone slab from many dark materials. The stone slab with ancient engravings was a naturally formed rock covered with mysterious symbols. These symbols could not be used directly and needed to be carefully carved to reveal specific symbols and patterns. These symbols contained spells and prayers from the ancient abyss. During the carving process, Xingluo carefully avoided any mistakes, because once a mistake was made, the entire process might fail or even backfire.

In addition to this ancient engraved stone, the production of this cursed object also requires resin from mysterious trees, dragon blood stone powder, and moon shadow silver. These materials must be collected at a specific time and in a specific environment to ensure that their magic power is not weakened. Usually, these tasks are completed by specially trained gatherers who must go deep into dangerous places to find legendary resources. Of course, Xingluo has already bought these materials.

Fresh resin extracted from the mysterious tree needs to be refined to become a highly viscous and magically conductive liquid. This step is usually done at night, because only moonlight can activate the magical components in the resin. A small amount of dragon blood stone powder needs to be added during refining to make it have a stronger energy conduction ability.

Moonshadow silver is a rare metal that captures and reflects moonlight, thus enhancing the magic of the object. The most critical step is to inlay the silver ornaments on the stone slab, which requires small but exquisitely intricate silver ornaments to be embedded in the positions where the symbols have been engraved. This requires not only extremely high precision, but also mastery of special skills to ensure that each part fits perfectly and echoes each other.

Xingluo needs to be extremely careful when handling each material, as he may be cursed or suffer the backlash of darkness if he is not careful. This is why there are far more alchemists than curse makers, and the Abyss Society is more difficult to enter than the Alchemists' Guild. Many talented curse makers have died in attempts again and again. There are very few people like Xingluo who have become a relatively safe curse maker with their superb skills and strong mental strength. Xingluo's current ability to make cursed objects is enough to be called a master, at least Camilla firmly believes it, and this is one of the reasons why he has the confidence to recommend Xingluo to enter the Abyss Society.

Xingluo began to use the juice made from the mysterious resin to outline a complex magic circle on the stone slab. At this time, the starry sky array behind him appeared again. The amount of calculation was too much, and his mental strength could not bear it. He needed to rely on auxiliary array diagrams to calculate. It can be imagined how complex the compound array diagram Xingluo designed on this small stone slab was. For a magician, the more complex the magic circle means the more powerful it is. Xingluo's magic power was drained again and again, and his magic core was close to the edge of collapse, but it never exploded. It seemed that there was still something missing, but at this time he had no mind to pay attention to his body. He entered deep meditation, and he knew every detail of the production. He kept carving the magic circle and carefully controlled the output of magic power. The energy core in his body also gradually had a crack.

Xingluo immersed himself in it, the starry sky hourglass emitted a charming light, the flow of time in this room was extremely abnormal, but under the many protective magic circles, outsiders could not see any clues. The complex magic circle arranged by Xingluo with the mental power of the great magician was not something that ordinary demons could see through. Even if a high-level demon came, he would need to stare at this place for a long time, and even mobilize all his mental power to see the abnormality. Under normal circumstances, no demon would pay attention to an ordinary hotel room.
