Paragon Of Sin-Novel

"...Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir!"

Just its name inspired all sorts of presumptions, especially since quite a few were expectant of the Heaven Relic being used as the foundation for one of these five products after Wei Wuyin's previous promise! The slight quiver of unsettled emotion in the Empress' vocal tone was glaringly present and only served toexacerbate their beliefs.

"Soul-Sea Elixir..." Within the Boundless Martial Sect's section, the Boundless Martial High King stood with his arms folded, his scholarly appearance observant of every minute change happening on stage. In the World of Eden, his presence was still hard to ignore, so he stood out amongst the others.

What do you think it'll be? Something with the Heaven Relic?" A little girl with a ponytail stood beside him, her presence almost equally as domineering despite her delicate and cute appearance, asking with a solemn expression. She was the Titanic Hell-Crushing Queen, Da Shan's master, and one of the Earthly Saints of the Boundless Martial Sect.

''...'' The Boundless Martial High King didn't answer. Countless cultivators were throwing around speculations at rapid speeds, but he didn't entertain such trivial guessing games. "It'll be explained," was all he replied. The Titanic Hell-Crushing Queen pouted. While not intentionally, it was particularly cute.

The Empress was actually a little emotional as she began to lift the lid on the jade box. As the Primary Host, she was given an overview of four products, excluding the fifth and final product, as well as a taste of some of the generalized fortune given out, like the Astralis Dawn Mist. This was so she could confidently present each without being stumped or losing her composure beforehand. Fortunately too, because she lost composure on each and every thing she saw, especially one of the products shown! She was shaken to her core!

Fully lifting the box, what was exposed was a palm-sized bowl of liquid. The liquid was cyan, but while the water itself seemed as unmoving as Stillwater Blood of the Endless Stagnation Sea within the Grand Horse Realm as if external forces had no impact on it whatsoever, there was an array of activity within.

There were nine eel-like strands of condensed lights, each of a different color.

In the section that housed the Ninestar Starfield's cultivators, the Soul Saint King's heart instantly began to pound as he leaned forward, wanting to get a 'closer' look, his lime-green eyes widened, and his facial expression bloomed with vivid surprise.

"Red? Orange? Is that..." San Luoyang's eyes similarly widened as he began to speak out each color subconsciously. There were other Alchemists by his side that were doing the same thing. In fact, countless cultivators were trying to count and differentiate each strand!

"Primary Light?!" Tian Shangyang instantly exclaimed from the Imperial Clan's section, speaking everyone's thoughts. Primary Light!

Black! Red! Orange! Yellow! Green! Blue! Indigo! Violet!

WHITE!!

"Are those Primary Light Energy Strands?" Lin Ming asked Lin Xianxei, who was so shaken she completely ignored the question. Her heart was racing rapidly! In her mind was only a single meaningful question and nothing else: "WHAT DID THIS PRODUCT DO?!"

Evergod's pupils shrunk slightly.

The Empress swept her eyes across these groups, especially the two Alchemic Saints, and their reactions greatly eased her own heart and ego. When she first saw the Neo- Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir, she was also driven to an unseemly state of shock and surprise.

Primary Light Energy was one of the most challenging materials to refine, and the number of products that could affect it in the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region could be counted on half a hand. Typically, products aligned with the function of Refraction World-Light Elixir that affected Light Energy, not Primary Light Energies, the cultivated energy of a Primary Light Source after the Light Reflection Phase of the Astral Core Realm.

She took a breath and began, "The Neo- Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir is a Ninth-Grade Alchemical Elixir, not of the typical standard of tiers." Her last words left countless intrigued and gasping, and she didn't hold them in suspense as she explained: "In our grand history, there have been a few products that, by their standards, have greatly exceeded the limitations of what a 'peak' product could be. In its vein of usage and purpose, it is undeniably and indisputably the supreme king with the greatest effects. The most commonly known product of this category is the Heptasage Pillar Stellar Region's Seven Sage Tower's Echoing Stars of the Vastness Pill!"

Echoing Stars of the Vastness Pill!

"ABSOLUTELY PREPOSTEROUS!" A howling voice resounded and reached every group, followed by a stunned yelp of surprise. A Mortal Sovereign Alchemist of the Everlore Association had spoken out, and their voice was broadcasted to the entire World of Eden, nobody knowing if it was done deliberately or just a mechanic of the Projection Link. Then, curious about this voice's origin, everyone began to project over to the Everlore Association's group, crowding them instantly.

"..." Evergod stood quietly as the apex leader of the group, his seven-colored eyes glancing at the one who spoke in protest.San Luoyang sighed in his heart. Did this idiot have to jump and simply allow Wei Wuyin to capitalize on this to try and humiliate the Everlore Association?

"What's...what's the meaning of this?!" The Alchemist that was the center of attention was startled and took a few steps back, yet the quintillion of gazes were crushing to experience. Despite being an Ascended, this experience was indescribably intense and he started sweating profusely.

The Empress hid her brief grin, "The Proximity Link is dependent on focus and intent. If your intent is to comment on the product displayed on this grand stage, then all who are presently watching that product will similarly hear that comment. Certain things aren't registered, but strong opinions or relevant questions about the product that you actively vocalize will be heard by all."

"WHAT?!" The Mortal Sovereign Alchemist almost stumbled as he kept retreating. San Luoyang was about to act, but Evergod sent him a gaze making him halt his action. He realized that this wasn't their territory or world, and everything was under Wei Wuyin's control. It was best not to act carelessly and be rebuffed by some unspoken rule.

Evergod shifted his gaze to the Mortal Sovereign Alchemist whose hands were trembling and eyes swimming about chaotically. His thoughts wereindecipherable.

"Radiant Wave Alchemic Sovereign, your curiosity about the effects of this new elixir is expected, especially given your talents with the utilization of light-attuned Alchemical Methods and specialization in elixirs. "A husky, alluringly rich, attention- seizing voice spoke out, belonging to none other than Evergod!

Instantly, by using Proximity Link, Evergod leveraged the system's reliance on intent to project his voice to all those who were currently observing their vicinity. The gazes instantly shifted to Evergod, who was entirely unperturbed by the endless pressure descending upon his body.

In the sub-realm, Wei Wuyin couldn't help but applaud Evergod in his heart for his adept usage of the principles by which the World of Eden functioned. He swiftly grasped the underlying meaning behind Empress Xiaocheng's explanation and used it to his advantage. He brought attention away from the near-collapsing Radiant Wave Alchemic Sovereign, justified his previous words, and finished beautifully with: "I'm sure everyone else is no less curious than me about this extraordinary claim; how about you tell us why this elixir deserves to be on the same stage as the pill that birthed an entire Era."

Countless gazes were in awe of this figure," and those with experience recognized his chestnut skin and seven-colored eyes as signature features of Evergod! He was the most prestigious Alchemist in the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region beneath the King of Everlore, solely because he ran the Everlore Association, the premier Alchemist Association of the entire Stellar Region!

"Certainly," Empress Xiaocheng smiled beautifully. In truth, she was interrupted by that comment, but she still did as instructed by the true host of this event. "The Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir's Primary Effect is multifold in purpose, usage, and effects. This is a requirement for 'pinnacle- tier' products. Don't you agree, Earth-Saint Evergod?"

Evergod's pupils faintly surged with light. Earth-Saint was the formal title used to refer to Earthly Saint Alchemists directly. It was in the same vein as 'Alchemic Sovereign', with Worldly and Heavenly Saint Alchemists being referred to as World- Saint and Heaven-Saint.

Evergod wasn't slow in his response, "To be multifold, especially affecting multiple categories of a specific cultivation system or purpose, is a defining feature of 'pinnacle' products. That is correct, but the product has to be the best in its effects, even against peak-tier specialized products."

Their conversation allowed everyone, even the most ignorant, to easily understand the elusive concept of 'pinnacle-tier' products. The Echoing Stars of the Vastness Pill could be used to enhance every facet of a cultivator's foundation, a true all-purpose pill. Most products had one purpose, only gaining a secondary and tertiary effect at higher qualities.

Wei Wuyin watched all of this unfold, and he felt invigorated by the prospects of his product being brought to the world. This wasn't the same Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir, but the perfected version that was designed by the joint effort of his Second Mind's utilization of the Palace of Eden's library and his debonair version's knowledge. This was the perfected version of the Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir!

Empress Xiaocheng nodded, "The elixir has four effects."

Four?!

"The first effect is recovery; when consumed, the Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir can replenish one's Primary Light Energies." This effect was its original Primary Effect in its first iteration. "This goes for all types, ranging from Black-colored Light Energy to White-colored Light Energy. Usingestablished measurements of refinement, it can fully replenish the average Light Refraction Phase cultivator's Primary Light Source in three minutes of refinement."

"WHAT?!" The crowd went into an uproar! Three minutes? Just three? For the average cultivator?! When it came to Light Energies, this was one of the hardest reserves of energy to replenish, especially in a combat situation. "Moreover, its ease of refinement allows it to be taken in active situations. While the rate of recovery will be much slower, it will replenish without too much mental strain."

IT COULD BE USED IN COMBAT

SITUATIONS?!

No.

No!

IT COULD BE USED IN FLEEING SITUATIONS?!

When it came to movement arts, Primary Light Energy was typically the foundation of all physical movements. As for Spatial- attributed methods, they were extremely costly and typically the first thing sealed by a stronger opponent and left one vulnerable to quite a few disruption methods. But physically running away was much easier and less restrictive. After all, there were many, many areas, such as the Void-Blank Space, where randomly spatial shifting was a death sentence. This was why the Ever-Starlight Pellet was so incredible!

The Empress wasn't done yet as she felt increasingly satisfied with the gasps and widened gazes as they validated all her feelings. "The second effect-"

Second?!

The combat effectiveness wasn't the second?!

"-is expansion! The elixir can expand the Primary Light Source of a cultivator. If used by the average size of Primary LightSources, which is almost the same from the Light Reflection Phase to the Earthly Saint Phase, its size can be increased by 12%!"

"WHAT?!?!"

While the experts of the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region began to explode with disbelief, Evergod's pupils shrunkconsiderably! The increase of a Primary Light Source was impossible by the current limits of the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region, and there was not a single product on that market that existed that did anything remotely close! It was hard for him to believe it!

Why?

Because he had tried to do so for thousands of years! It was his ongoing project that would define his legacy, allowing him to stand out from the King of Everlore! This was his goal! Do something even the King of Everlore was unable to do before he left!!

San Luoyang couldn't help but look at Evergod, his heart racing. He knew what it meant for an alchemist to devote their legacy to a single purpose and then have it eclipsed by someone else. The level of devastation was immeasurable.

Evergod's fists were tightly clenched, an action that he couldn't help but do subconsciously. Fortunately, no one was paying him any attention. But this type of feeling of seething quietly only further deepened his turbulent and sinking emotions.

But the Empress wasn't done!

"The third effect is elevation! Even if one birth a Black-colored Primary Light Source, by continuously refining the Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir, a cultivator can correct their inherent weakness of a flawed foundation, elevating to the White-colored Primary Source! While the amount needed will greatly differ depending on a cultivator's talent, the effect's potential limit is absolute."

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "Oh, my heavens..." Tian Lingyu was deeply shaken. The implications of this product only rose as the words of the Empress flowed, and it was borderline reaching unbelievable freakin' levels!

"But wait-THERE'S MORE!" By this point, the Empress was enthralled by the waves of exclamations and excitement in the air. She was energized by their reactions and felt even livelier, causing her to gesture enthusiastically with her hands and causing her luscious valley to grow a little deeper. "The last effect is talent reforming! By consuming each product, while the effect will diminish with each additional product, one can increase their body's affinity to Light Energies!"

Talent Reforging!

This term was legendary amongst Alchemists, and it meant it could be used by those at all stages to assist them in their cultivation.

"Additionally, to those who are beneath the Light Reflection Phase, the Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir creates a small deposit of Primary Light Energy within their Spirit of Cultivation called the Radiant Soul-Sea! This Radiant Soul-Sea will store the Primary Light Energies within the elixir that the cultivator can use! That's not all- when a cultivator reaches the Light Reflection Phase, the Radiant Soul-Sea will merge with their Primary Light Source, either contributing to elevating if it is beneath the White-colored Primary Light Source or expanding it immediately!"

At the end of this, Tian Xiaocheng was almost raving with boisterous excitement, greatly unbefitting of an Empress but fitting for an enthusiastic host!

"..." By the time she was done, her breathing was a little labored. This was the Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir! This was the Pinnacle-Tier, Ninth-Grade Product of the Neo-Dawn Alchemical Lineage!!!

"That...is...HEAVEN-DEFYING!" The Radiant Wave Alchemic Sovereign breathily exclaimed in a soft voice, yet despite his absent-minded words, it was still projected to everyone in the World of Eden!

An Everlore Association's Alchemic Sovereign had claimed it as heaven- defying!

Wei Wuyin smirked; if the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill allowed a cultivator to grasp the Worldly Domain before the Realm World Phase, then the Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir granted Light Reflection Phase abilities beforehand!
