=================¶¶=================

As Arthur and Aixen ventured deeper into the inner world of the Nine Heavens Palace, their footsteps echoed through the ethereal landscape. The air hummed with ancient energy, and Arthur's anticipation grew with every passing moment.

In a chamber bathed in a soft, golden light, they encountered a magnificent cauldron. Its size and presence were awe-inspiring, radiating an aura that matched the grandeur of the palace itself. Aixen floated beside Arthur, his voice filled with a hint of pride.

"Master, behold the Nine Heavens Cauldron," Aixen spoke in a hushed tone. "It is a part of the palace, a relic whose rank matches that of the Nine Heavens Palace itself. However, in your past existence, you did not practice alchemy, so you never utilized its power."

Arthur's eyes widened as he took in the sight of the cauldron. He could sense the immense potential within it, and a surge of expectation filled his mind. It was a gift waiting to be unlocked.

Curiosity piqued, Arthur turned to Aixen. "Tell me more about the Nine Heavens Cauldron. What can it do?"

Aixen nodded and began to explain. "The Nine Heavens Cauldron is a legendary artifact renowned for its alchemical prowess. It possesses the ability to refine pills of the highest quality using ancient and lost methods. There is an Alchemy Technique specifically designed for this cauldron called the Nine Heavens Refinement. It will guide you in the art of alchemy and unlock the cauldron's full potential."

Arthur's eyes gleamed with determination. "I see, this will give an edge over others. Where is this Alchemy Technique? The power of the Nine Heavens Cauldron could prove to be invaluable in my journey."

With a wave of his hand, Aixen conjured a jade token, its surface inscribed with intricate patterns. He handed it to Arthur, who accepted it with a small smile on his lips.

The token held within it, the Nine Heavens Refinement.

"This jade token contains the profound knowledge of the Nine Heavens Refinement Technique. With it, you will be able refine pills of unparalleled quality and unlock the secrets hidden within the cauldron."

Arthur carefully stored the jade token and the Nine Heavens Cauldron within his spatial ring, ensuring their safety for future use. He knew that mastering the art of alchemy would be a bit challenging yet rewarding endeavor.

Since Aixen had said it, then the technique is really an ancient one. Ancient techniques have been lost and there bore the very and most primal knowledge of the Dao. This made them obscure and incredibly hard to learn if anyone was lucky enough to acquire them.

But if one is successful in learning any ancient technique he would stand at the peak of what tha technique represented if mastered.

However, there was another matter that had captured Arthur's attention. His memories stirred, recalling the existence of a rare and powerful substance known as the Heavenly Chaos Metal Essence.

It was a semi-liquid essence birthed by the heavens themselves, capable of forging the strongest armor in the universe.

Arthur turned to Aixen, a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes. "Aixen, I remember something about the Heavenly Chaos Metal Essence. It possesses extraordinary properties. It can grow stronger by consuming high-grade materials, and it even has a sentient nature, protecting its master automatically. Moreover, it can transform its appearance to match its master's abilities and awaken a supportive ability that enhances their strengths. I must find it."

Aixen nodded, acknowledging Arthur's request. "The Heavenly Chaos Metal Essence is indeed a remarkable substance, Master. It resides within the depths of the Nine Heavens Palace. Allow me to guide you to its location."

With a nod of agreement, Arthur and Aixen departed from the chamber, their footsteps echoing through the ancient halls of the inner world.

The air grew denser as they journeyed deeper, and a powerful presence permeated the surroundings.

Finally, they arrived at a vast chamber Finally, they arrived at a vast chamber hidden deep within the inner world of the Nine Heavens Palace.

The atmosphere crackled with an otherworldly energy, and the air seemed to vibrate with anticipation.

In the center of the chamber floated a whitish golden substance, emanating a radiant glow and with a shapeless form constantly fluctuating.

Arthur's heart raced as he recognized the source of the energy—the Heavenly Chaos Metal Essence. It shimmered with a mesmerizing blend of metallic hues, its surface swirling with ever-changing patterns.

Aixen's voice echoed with reverence. "Master, behold the Heavenly Chaos Metal Essence. It is a rare and extraordinary substance, born from the essence of the heavens itself. Few have ever laid eyes upon it, let alone possessed its power."

"In each univers there can only exists one of it," Aixen mentioned something tha Arthur didn't know.

"So you mean, that there are others but they are within other universes?" Arthur asked in mild surprise.

"Yes, and there will be one in this universe too and it will be good if Master can get it in the future and fuse it with this one."

Arthur nodded thoughtfully but he knew he couldn't take action towards that for now so he focused on the present instead.

Arthur stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the pulsating essence. He could sense its consciousness, a sentient presence that awaited a worthy master.

The essence sent a wave of ethereal energy towards Arthur. It was as though it was trying to communicate to Arthur but in reality it was probing.

Probing if Arthur was a worthy Master for it.

Due to its nature it was naturally prideful and no random cultivator will be approved by it.

But as it's probing energy entered Arthura body, the gems Within his soul reacted and sent their ethereal essence energy forward letting the essence know of their existence.

The Heavenly Chaos Essence suddenly trembled in fear which quickly changed to excitement and then submission.

It then sent its intent again and this time with a different attitude and purpose and Arthur felt it resonated with the depths of his soul, as if recognizing his potential.

"It appears it has submitted. I never knew that the gems could be so tyrannical and a bit territorial." Arthur chuckled with some satisfaction.

He had prepared to use some pressure of his soul to subdue it but that wasn't needed in the end.

"Its transformative abilities and supportive enhancements will elevate my power to greater heights."

Aixen nodded, his ancient voice filled with assurance. "Indeed, Master. The Heavenly Chaos Metal Essence possesses the power to forge armor of unparalleled strength. It will mold itself to match your abilities and grant you a protective shield that evolves and strengthens as you do. Since it has already recognized Master as it's Master all you have to do is fuse a drop of your blood with it and it will be bounded to you."

Arthur stepped forward and pricked his finger, letting a drop of his blood fall on the floating substance and with a deep breath, he extended his hand toward the Heavenly Chaos Metal Essence, his energy merging with its pulsating aura.

A surge of power coursed through Arthur's veins as the essence responded to his touch. It flowed around his hand, forming intricate patterns that mirrored the depths of his soul.

In that moment, the Heavenly Chaos Metal Essence dived into Arthur's body and began to fuse with his physique.

Arthur's clothes got destroyed in the process leaving his body bare. Arthur suddenly felt a connection with the essence as it continued to fuse with his body and every path of his physique and even his bloodline.

Arthur expected some pain but he felt none of that. And soon the process was completed and a dark-colored clothing suddenly appeared on Arthur.

Arthur already understood what he could do and with a thought the clothing quickly transformed into the robe of the Core Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect and its colour changed too.

"This is very useful," Arthur smiled in satisfaction.

It would forever be a part of him, enhancing his abilities and protecting him on his journey.

Aixen watched with pride as Arthur embraced the essence's power. "Master, you have proven yourself worthy of the Heavenly Chaos Metal Essence. Its loyalty is now yours, and it will accompany you on your path, empowering you in ways beyond imagination."

Now, the essence settled on Arthur, merging seamlessly with his spiritual core. Its presence was a constant reminder of his potential and the responsibilities that lay ahead.

At this time Arthur recalled that he had to check in Balor and decided to call it a day.

"I will explore later, for now I need to leave."

Aixen nodded in understanding and Arthur left the dimension and appeared in his cultivation cave within the sect.

"Let's see how far you've progressed, Balor..."
