Age of Evolution

Chapter 525: Chapter 526: The Secret of the Tears of the Phoenix

Lin Zhen, satisfied, exited the simulation site, for finally, he had succeeded in the use of Spiritual Power for object manipulation.

The Cui Mang Rank Spiritual Power had become his potent hidden weapon. Although the space station was powerful, it consumed too much energy. Compared to that, Spiritual Power had more practical uses.

Yet, Lin Zhen wasn’t going to take a break. He had to continue practicing Spirit Cone next.

In comparison to the method of using Spiritual Power for object control, the Spirit Cone was easier. As long as he knew how to concentrate the Spiritual Power into a bundle and unleash it with full force, it would work.

But the training process wasn’t as simple as Lin Zhen initially thought.

He wanted to perfectly combine the Spiritual Evil Spirit Cone with the Mental Shock.

As both were evolved versions of the Mental Shock, they were combinable. If the Spiritual Evil Spirit could simultaneously attack the opponent’s Spiritual Consciousness Sea when the Spirit Cone is fired, it would be a terrifying trick.

This process took Lin Zhen a full month.

Eleven and a half months into the Suspended Island, Lin Zhen finally completed the understanding of the entire Spiritual Power Heaven Stele.

And the final Spirit Cone and Spiritual Evil Spirit Shock were perfectly combined by him, creating a unique battle technique solely for Lin Zhen. It was the Spiritual Evil Spirit Cone!

The effects of this attack Lin Zhen had already tested. Its effectiveness was explosively good. He was looking forward to seeing its efficacy in real combat.

So far, he had comprehended all the elements of the Spiritual Power Heaven Stele.

Sliding down from the pillar, Lin Zhen took a day’s rest to assimilate all that he had gained during this period.

Another year had passed. His Star Power had also grown from 1280 to 1350.

With this Star Power, Lin Zhen could effortlessly overpower early-phase opponents in the Star System. While he has less Star Power than mid-phase opponents in the Star System, he has various unique tactics that support him to challenge higher levels.

Recently, Lin Zhen felt that his Star Power seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough. After a year of steady accumulation, he had reached the verge of the Black Hole Period.

Yet, Lin Zhen still didn’t dare to act rashly. The Black Hole Period was a very important watershed. Once entered, unpredictable things might happen. Without full preparation, Lin Zhen didn’t want to take any risks.

Next, he had one more thing to do, which was to comprehend the Static Tablet.

This Time Monument was the toughest and most crucial. If he could break through here, it would be very beneficial to Lin Zhen’s future.

Looking at the endless asteroid belt, Lin Zhen could faintly feel the overwhelming formations of the Insect Clan outside.

“You all wait leisurely, be sure not to lose patience. Once I’ve comprehended the Static Tablet, we’ll have a proper meet. Also, Ye Hua and Tianci… ”

After a day’s rest, Lin Zhen mounted the Static Tablet again.

This time, he’s going to challenge the Time Law!

At the south gate of Kirin Holy Star, Lin Zhen’s clone was forging in the Heavenly Fire Star Shift Store.

This time, he was going to forge a spear.

After such a protracted period of forging, Lin Zhen had become proficient at forging divine artifacts, but he had never forged a divine artifact.

Now the difference was not the technique, but the issue of Flames.

Lin Zhen’s bright orange flame could forge at most top quality divine artifacts and was insufficient to forge divine artifacts.

Without being able to forge the artifact, Lin Zhen was earning money too slowly. It was nearly impossible to upgrade his bank card.

His hands open, positioned closely and facing each other, a ball of bright orange flame was raging between the centers of his palms.

“The intensity of my flame is not enough. If I can upgrade to white, forging divine artifacts would not be difficult for me.”

After trying several times, he could not intensify the flame. Lin Zhen was somewhat vexed.

He extinguished the flame and slowly closed his eyes. In Lin Zhen’s mind, the scene of Feng Qingluan charging into the Insect Clan army involuntarily appeared.

Previously, every time this event came to mind, Lin Zhen would distract himself, thus not to digress because of it.

But today, his longing for Little Phoenix grew stronger.

“Lin Zhen…”

“Don’t forget what you promised….”

“I like it here, Lin Zhen, I like this tree.”

“I’m the leader of the underworld, but I have never really done anything evil. Lin Zhen, you believe me.”

“Goodbye… my love…”

Phrases that Feng Qingluan had once said to Lin Zhen echoed like scenes from a movie in his mind.

“Lin Zhen, don’t you find it familiar here?”

In his memories, Feng Qingluan presented a beautiful smile, pointing to the center of her forehead, where there was a mole shaped like a tear.

When this image appeared in his mind, Lin Zhen suddenly opened his eyes.

“Right! The blood tear that Qing Luan left for me. She said it was for me to see later. But I have always forgotten about it, maybe it’s because subconsciously I didn’t want to see it, because I didn’t want to see her crying.”

At this thought, Lin Zhen raised his hand, and the sparkling, ruby-like Tears of the Phoenix appeared from his Space Ring.

“Qing Luan left this to me, I’m not sure what it means, but I trust that she wouldn’t do something pointless, I’ll take a good look.”

He poured Spiritual Power into it, and as soon as he did, a blazing white flame erupted!

“Hiss~!!! This is Little Phoenix’s aura, her Flame Power! It’s the Burning Sky Fire!”

Lin Zhen was completely engulfed by the flames, but these flames wouldn’t harm him, just like the flames that both of them had when he healed Little Phoenix before. Because of their connected bloodline, these flames were like his own.

Lin Zhen couldn’t afford to think much more and immediately put his all into absorbing as much of the flame as he could.

His body was like a lamp, the Flame Power circulating around him, fluttering with his breath.

Lin Zhen’s bright orange flames started to evolve under the influence of this white flame!

There were several stages between Lin Zhen’s bright orange flame and this bright white flame.

They were light white, pristine white, and dazzling white respectively.

The two Flame Powers began to blend together, as the bright white flame slowly faded in color and Lin Zhen’s bright orange flames started to turn white.

Once it had turned light white, Lin Zhen knew his Flame Power had advanced. Now with the light white flames, he could forge Lower Grade Divine Artifacts.

After the bright white flames completely disappeared, Lin Zhen’s Flame Power advanced again, reaching the pristine white stage.

With pristine white flames, Lin Zhen could now forge Middle Grade Divine Artifacts!

Only when the Flame Power left by Little Phoenix completely disappeared did Lin Zhen slowly open his eyes.

Little Phoenix couldn’t have known Lin Zhen was forging, but she understood that Lin Zhen could absorb her Flame Power. This was the gift she left for Lin Zhen.

This compassion made Lin Zhen’s heart feel heavy yet fulfilled, and it felt like a burden too. It made him even more eager to revive Little Phoenix.

“Eh… there’s something else inside?”

Once all the Flame Power from the Tears of the Phoenix was released, Lin Zhen noticed a core of gold in the center.

Heart moved, he hastily extracted the golden mass.

“Ah…!! This is…. The third chapter of the Strike!”

Indeed, this gold object was a golden parchment – the final page of the Strike by World King Yama.

At this moment, Lin Zhen remembered the time when Little Phoenix had intended to acquire the Strike technique for him through Feng Hong’er, but he had turned it down then.

That’s when Lin Zhen learned that the final page of the Strike had ended up in Feng Qingluan’s hands.

Little Phoenix had actually saved this final page for him. she didn’t say anything and didn’t demand anything in return. She just quietly left it to him.

No wonder she said that she left the Tears of the Phoenix for him. So many mysteries were hidden inside.

Lin Zhen’s avatar had taken out most of the useless things from the Chaotic Star River, which included the golden scroll of Yama, the World King’s legacy, now he just needed this last piece of golden paper.

Once he learned the Strike, he could use sub-light speed in battles. Lin Zhen had been looking forward to this, and now he finally got it.

Placing the golden page on the final legacy scroll, Lin Zhen finally collected Yama’s, the World King’s complete legacy!

“Thank you, Little Phoenix, I am infinitely grateful to you! Wait for me, I will definitely bring you back to life!”

Lin Zhen stowed away the golden page first. He planned to practice as soon as he had free time, but presently, forging the Divine Artifact was more important.

With the newly acquired pristine white flames, Lin Zhen’s strength greatly increased. He immediately placed the spear back in the Star Transfer Furnace and exhaled a mouthful of Pristine White Burning Sky Fire!

The impurities in the spear were easily removed, causing it to undergo a shocking transformation.

“Hum hum!!!”

After a soft hum, the spear was ready!

A chilling wind blew, cooling the spear, then Lin Zhen picked it up.

On the spear, there were two intertwined flames, which were Lin Zhen’s unique mark, representing the flames of Fire Kirin and Fire Phoenix.

“It’s done! Middle Grade Divine Artifact, it weighs eight thousand pounds, extremely flexible yet sharp, it’s definitely a top quality among the Middle Grade Divine Artifacts. If I sell this spear outside, I can get at least 30 million cosmic crystals!”

Lin Zhen was thrilled. The value of this spear was comparable to his earnings for nearly a year. This proved that forging high-end weapons was the way to go.

This was also the first time that Lin Zhen truly saw the hope of upgrading to a Five-Star Supreme Card.

News quickly spread out. People knew that the Star Shift Master wearing a mask in the Tianfire shop at the southern entrance of Kirin Holy Star could forge Divine Artifacts, and he could forge both Lower Grade and Middle Grade Divine Artifacts.

The price wasn’t too high, and the quality was especially good. Now, with advanced communication, once something was announced in the Dimensional Universe, everyone would know about it.

The reputation of Tianfire Star Shift Shop rose another level, taking a step from the low-end market to the high-end market.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhen’s wealth continued to accumulate in this process. More and more people came to him for weapon forging. The materials were provided by the customers, and Lin Zhen’s craftsmanship got better and better in the process.

The flames and Strike technique that Qing Luan left him were a great help.
