Chapter 1326 1326. Auction

The gaseous stage guard let out a surprised gasp when he saw Noah’s taking out pieces of skin belonging to a divine magical beast from his chest. Still, he soon covered his mouth to preserve the tranquility of the inscription hall.

It wasn’t hard to discern that Noah was a newly ascended existence. His robes and behavior made it impossible for him to appear as a citizen of the Immortal Lands.

His gaze exuded his curiosity toward everything in Vagona city, and his clothes were nothing more than rags in that world. Even heroic cultivators wore robes made of divine items. Only a newbie would still lack such common defenses.

Still, the fact that Noah had a storage item changed the guard’s idea about him. He suddenly became curious about that newly ascended cultivator.

The guards of the inscription halls could watch the masters in action, but they couldn’t escape the barrier’s restrictions. The experts in the inscription fields had to feel safe in those structures, so no one could memorize their methods while they performed.

The ancient voice and the white-haired inscription master’s calmness made Noah feel safe to inscribe in that place. He could fully focus on his procedure and strive to create a stable item.

Dark matter flew out of Noah’s chest and seeped inside the magical beast’s skin in his hands. The higher energy followed Noah’s instructions and shaped the material according to his needs. Those piles of tissues soon transformed into a sphere that began to absorb his darkness.

Noah let the incomplete Instability amass darkness until it grew unstable. The item was about to explode, but he promptly stored it inside his separate space and used the dark matter to isolate it.

No one in the area heard anything, but they could see how gray smoke came out of Noah’s mouth after the Instability exploded. The barrier’s restrictions didn’t allow them to understand if that was part of his inscription method. Still, they began to grow wary of that peculiar expert.

’My wills are too shallow,’ Noah thought as he focused again. ’These materials are too resilient. I need to change approach.’

Dark matter flowed out of Noah’s chest and created a minute version of the dark world between his palms. Then, another piece of magical beast’s skin exited the separate space and entered his technique.

Noah suppressed the law inside the material as dark matter modified its structure and fused it with his wills. The Instabilities were simple inscribed weapons, so he only had to make them able to contain his darkness.

The dark world benefitted the forging, but the incomplete Instability grew unstable after Noah began to fuse his saber-shaped runes on its surface. He soon found himself forced to store the item inside the separate space and suppress its detonation again.

The audience understood that something was off when they saw grey smoke blowing out of Noah’s mouth again. That hinted at a failure in the process, but their interest grew when Noah took more divine materials out of his separate space.

It wasn’t hard to find divine materials in the Immortal Lands, but Noah was alone. The audience didn’t know if he had friends outside of Vagona city. Still, they began to respect his ability.

That inscription hall didn’t have many cultivators among the spectators, but they had some relevance inside Vagona city. Some of them began to consider hiring Noah to gather divine materials for their shops, but neither dared to interrupt his performance.

’The dark world can weaken the innate defenses of the material,’ Noah thought as he deployed his technique again, ’But my wills can’t replace its laws. The dark matter can’t be the core energy in the forging with items at this level.’

Noah sighed when he understood that. The dark matter had allowed him to create wonders out of common materials, but it was too impersonal when it came to dealing with laws.

Noah could still fuse it with the material’s structure, but he couldn’t use it to carry his wills, not if he wanted to succeed in the forging at least. Only his individuality could create laws capable of transforming those items, so he had to use the energy that reflected the entirety of his existence.

A peculiar aura started to come out of Noah’s figure once he prepared the minute dark world and more magical beast’s skin. He tried to contain the radiations of his individuality, but his ambition still affected the air around him while he focused on creating wills.

Black lines appeared on the air around his figure as his cultivation level grew. Noah became stronger right in front of everyone, and even the white-haired inscription master stopped his performance to focus on him.

"Is he using a secret art to succeed in the inscription?" One of the old-looking cultivators among the audience asked.

"It’s not completely foolish," Another cultivator in the audience answered. "The masters of the inscription hall might recruit him if he succeeds. Injuries to the centers of power are easy to heal once you have their backing. He is willing to sacrifice his potential to join them."

Noah couldn’t hear the conversations spoken among the audience, but his focus wouldn’t allow him to do it even if the barrier didn’t exist. He had decided to reveal part of his individuality during the procedure, so he couldn’t falter for even an instant.

Darkness flowed inside his mind and transformed as it fused with his wills. The waters of his mental sea surged and crashed on his mental walls as his ambition fueled ideas of explosions and violent energy.

Those ideas entered the darkness before Noah used that energy to modify the magical beast’s skin contained in the dark world between his hands. His technique would suppress the material’s law, but it wouldn’t interfere with the actual forging.

The darkness imbued with Noah’s wills altered the material’s structure and transformed it into a black sphere. Saber-shaped runes also came out of his mind and fused with the Instability’s surface to create its spikes.

Dark matter then seeped inside its structure and fixed any flaw that it found. The higher energy also improved the overall quality of the disposable weapon and filled it with power.

The darkness helped in that process too. The Instability would be threatening as long as it contained enough energy, so it didn’t matter which one Noah used.

The Instabilities’ destructive power would eventually rely on the primary energy once Noah perfected the creation of that weapon. He only wanted to see if he could complete the item now, so he used energies that were easier to control.

The dark world slowly flowed back inside Noah’s chest. A spiked black sphere that radiated metallic properties became visible to everyone once the dark matter left the area between his palms.

’Lower tier,’ Noah thought as a tinge of disappointment filled his mind.

The Instability was a rank 7 weapon, but it didn’t carry the power to match the spell of a gaseous stage cultivator. It was almost a waste of materials since it barely met the standards of the divine realms.

"Did you complete it?" The ancient voice resounded in Noah’s head again.

"It’s quite weak for a disposable weapon," Noah conveyed through his mental waves. "I should be able to make it match a spell if I perfect the procedure."

After Noah replied to the ancient voice, he dived back in his experiments, unaware that his recent success in creating the Instability had already given birth to an auction.
