Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 466

Chapter 466

Currently, Chui Yim was sensing the situation happening inside the cauldron.

Ping Chi acquired the cauldron from an ancient tomb, and it was fair to compare it to any supreme cauldron today.

With Chui Yim's current cultivation, he could only control the temperature of two fire dragons. Even so, the temperature was already fiery hot, and any living thing would be burnt into ashes the instant it was placed into the cauldron.

He now sensed that the disharmony inside the cauldron disappeared, and the greyish-white liquid was now mixed with the metallic liquid into a shiny, greyish-black liquid with gold sparks.

Chui Yim nodded in satisfaction and caressed the cauldron with his hands.

The style he cultivated was named the Nine Levels of Heaven’s Flame, a mysterious style not belonging to this world.

The style had not yet showcased any other special qualities or powers other than being able to control fire, but that was the sole reason Chui Yim would never change this style.

Chui Yim had read tons of books and even visited the Blood Library, but he had never once come across any other styles that could control fire better than the Nine Levels of Heaven’s Flame, which could be best described as turning his own energy into flame.

Actual flame, unlike any offensive or auxiliary flame technique. To be exact, it used the cultivator’s energy to mimic actual flame that would not repel a cultivator’s own energy because both were of the same origin. Unlike other gliphists who needed to control flames forcefully, Chui Yim and the flame were one.

He pressed his hands on the cauldron with his eyes shut as if he did not feel the high temperature.

Dragons appeared out of thin air in the cauldron!

Boom! The dragons banged into the greyish-black liquid in the middle, where changes took place.

Boom boom boom boom…

Yim Mo Chiu already couldn’t understand what was going on. She could not see what was happening in the cauldron, but from how it was shaking, she roughly guessed that Chui Yim was casting in a way that she was unfamiliar with.

Yes, he was. He did not need any mold, only the control of the flame to cast in the cauldron!

“Senior Brother, something’s odd.” Wong Kei suddenly spoke up. He believed that his senior brother would have felt it way before him.

Sung Tsz Hin nodded. His fourth junior brother was the best in forming bonds amongst them. “His forging movement is too huge.”

Even Chui Yim did not notice that after the second dragon opened its eyes, the scary temperature had already escaped the cauldron, causing the surrounding space to wrap. Now, Chui Yim was forging as if he was bewitched.

“If this continues, the Spiritual Heaven will be affected, maybe even destroyed.” Wong Kei was filled with worry as he did not expect this to take place during the Cloud Palace enrollment!

Sung Tsz Hin nodded, but did not make any huge movement, he only hummed. “This might be because he himself has never tried this method before; this is his first, thus he has difficulty controlling it. This movement is a gliphic weapon of about grade three.”

“At least grade three, to be exact,” Yim Mo Chiu said. “Even if it’s only of grade three, it’s going to be incomparable to other gliphic weapons of its state.” She stared at the bald teenager in shock, trying her best to recall all the talented blacksmiths from Blazing Skies Mountain, but none could surpass Chui Yim!

Only great masters could make gliph weapons of grade three. If Chui Yim succeeded, that meant that he was already halfway to reaching the grandmaster state at such a young age!

Kam Chin Kee’s performance threw Yim Mo Chiu off her feet too, but she actually understood forging and the difficulties and complexities behind it. Sculpting only involved one material as well as the carving skills and understanding of the topic, but forging was different.

It was extremely complicated, and the combination of different metals would give a completely different product and energy. There was so much knowledge to learn about and know for a blacksmith.

Thus, she understood how arduous it was to become a grandmaster in this subject.

Szz… The temperature in the cauldron decreased, but not the scary pressure.

The greyish-black liquid had changed in form: slender and slim without a blade – it was a rod! There were golden gliph patterns on the weapon that looked like shooting stars.

“Now!” Chui Yim’s eyes lit up.

He did not move his body but controlled the heaven and earth energy within his body, drawing gliphs in the air.

One, two… three gliphs formed in the air. They surrounded the rod like they were protecting it.

“Go!” Chui Yim took a deep breath.

Boom!

The gliphs landed on the rod immediately and became one with the rod, looking as if they belonged to the rod right from the start. It looked perfect. At the same time, the cauldron shook, shaking the entire space with it.

“Senior Brother!” Wong Kei yelled.

Sung Tsz Hin hesitated no more and controlled his mental power. Chui Yim was still standing where he was, but not to the spectators. They watched the classroom walls disappear into thin air, leaving only Chui Yim behind and a cauldron that was shaking violently.

“What the hell is he doing!?”

“My god, what a terrifying movement!”

“Where’s the house? Disappeared into thin air?”

The crowd discussed as their eyes were stuck on the cauldron in front of Chui Yim, which was an extremely terrifying scene. On the other hand, some were watching with excitement, and Choh Hang Sang was one of them.

There was no surprise he was here to spectate given his identity.

As a grandmaster, he no doubt could tell what the situation was given the huge movement.

“Grade four gliph weapon!” Choh Hang Sang shrieked, leaving the others similarly in great shock. If Choh Hang Sang said so, they believed his words. They were just at a loss at how Chui Yim was forging in a cauldron!

Chui Yim did not hear the commotion because he was fully focused on the cauldron in front of him.

He thought of this idea of refining a weapon in a cauldron after he started practicing alchemy; since both skills required controlling flames and fusing different ingredients into one, why not?

Alchemy made use of gliphic plants to make pills and elixirs, while forging made use of different minerals and metals to make weapons!

They seemed to be like cheese and chalk, but Chui Yim, an expert in forging, identified the similarity at a glance. In fact, his forging skills were way better than what Yim Mo Chui imagined. The benefit of forging in a cauldron was that, other than temperature, he was able to control many factors.

For example, during alchemy, since it took place in a cauldron, nothing too bad could happen even if there were accidents.
