Chapter 2017: Chapter 215 Enlightenment Too Profound

Returning to his residence, Peter Brown pondered for a moment but did not immediately join the scramble for treasures. After all, even if someone succeeded in seizing something, the competition would continue, and Peter had plenty of time for that.

He placed the Jade Slip containing the college’s knowledge against his forehead and began to study it earnestly.

Previously, he really wasn’t clear about many things. Only after obtaining this Jade Slip did he realize how little he knew.

The contents of the qualification certificate were also introduced here, as well as many requirements for entering the college. To reach the Starlight Domain from here, one would have to pass through hundreds of major Divine Nations. Due to the long exposure to holy energy, the cultivators of these nations had reached increasingly higher realms, with some even reaching the height of the 300-Star Level.

It makes sense when you think about it. Even if the colleges prohibited the dissemination of their learning materials, the fundamental knowledge would certainly get out. Over time, some powerful individuals would naturally come into possession of some of the college’s secrets and naturally experience an enhancement.

Furthermore, Peter Brown discovered something else — there was not just one Starlight College in that direction. There were numerous star domains, each with its own powerful institutions, all with their own colleges, thus there was also a competitive relationship between them.

In short, Peter Brown found the whole affair to be exceedingly complex, and even with the information in the Jade Slip, he couldn’t fully grasp the situation of the colleges.

Thinking of the distance of hundreds of Divine Nations to the Starlight Domain, Peter heaved a sigh—his own location really was in a remote star region.

As he suspected, that was the true Divine Realm. There were many types of Divine Grass, Elixirs, and refining techniques, each with their system; he just didn’t know what exactly these systems entailed.

After removing the Jade Slip, Peter took a moment to regulate his breath before bringing the Basic Refining Jade Slip to his forehead.

As soon as he delved into it, Peter was shocked. The true refining practiced by the Divine Race was not the creation of external objects, but the refining of one’s own body.

This was entirely different from what he had known before.

The college believed that no matter what one does, the key lies within oneself. If one’s own body is not strong, it is impossible to strive towards higher realms. Therefore, a real Alchemy practitioner treats their own body as a Divine Artifact to be tempered, making one’s innate power formidable.

Not external?

For the first time, Peter encountered the concept that refining was about tempering oneself.

He understood this—it was essentially pushing one’s body to unprecedented strength.

A kind of Body Refining Art?

Peter speculated.

However, he found that this method of tempering was somewhat different from the Body Refining Art; it was a comprehensive, multi-level Body Refining technique.

Somewhat incomprehensible!

After studying for a while and finding it too complicated, Peter decided to put it aside for the moment.

True Body Refining was indeed important, but some still needed to rely on Divine Artifacts.

Peter felt that for his current situation, external artifacts were more crucial; it was too early to focus on tempering the body.

Indeed, it was basic knowledge, and Peter could only seek the information he needed.

It turns out that after searching for a while, Peter finally found the content he was looking for. The reason why Alchemy in the Divine Realm was so awesome was that it involved the fusion of a vital life force. With Vitality, a Divine Artifact could be said to possess life.

At that moment, Peter thought of the Elixir Sea within him.

Looking into his Elixir Sea, his understanding deepened.

As long as life entered his Elixir Sea, they would naturally bring him the energy of belief, an energy filled with Vitality and Energy.

No wonder Divine Artifacts were so awesome—it turned out to be this kind of situation!

From there, it was evident that the difficulty in refining Divine Artifacts lay in the rarity of the necessary life energy and belief energy.

Looking at the Life Planets in his Elixir Sea, and then at the Faith Star Planet, which had doubled in size, Peter mused—could this really be difficult?

It would indeed be difficult for others, but for Peter, it was not a challenge.

Moreover, during the Refining process, strong Divine Sense Energy was required. Throughout the entire process, Divine Sense was crucial. Despite the might of the Divine Race, their physical prowess was great; however, their Divine Sense Energy was not overly powerful. Consequently, in the Divine Race, finding someone skilled in refining artifacts was not easy, and not just in Alchemy—experts in Elixirs, formations, and other specialized fields were scarce.

Peter felt that the most important point was that the college’s teachings focused on searching within rather than without. Thus, most Divine Beings preferred internal cultivation and were reluctant to learn external knowledge for fear of hindering their cultivation progress.

Unexpectedly, the Divine Race possessed so much knowledge, yet there were so few who studied these disciplines.

This was truly an opportunity for himself!

Peter was somewhat excited; some tasks that were impossible for others were not an issue for him.

After mulling over these matters, Peter simply began to delve into this basic knowledge.

While it might be useless to others, to Peter it was a treasure. His main goal was to extract the basic variations he needed.

Indeed, after searching for a while, Peter pinpointed the knowledge he required.

Sitting cross-legged, Peter meticulously contemplated over the knowledge he had gained, and as he pondered, his understanding deepened.

He modified various techniques, and with each modification, his understanding of refining grew.

It really was about transformation!

Now, Peter was genuinely excited. With the acquisition of this knowledge, he knew that refining artifacts was within his reach.

A few days passed, and Peter revised all the foundational techniques related to artifact refining.

If previously Peter had made some modifications, which allowed for artifact refining, this time the changes were substantial. After these modifications, Peter could now refine Divine Artifacts useful even below the 500-Star Level.

Thinking of being able to refine such high-level Divine Artifacts, Peter was itching to begin the refining process as soon as possible.

Right, there were many things here not available in the Hua Nation. Why not purchase them and send them to the Hua Kingdom to further strengthen the nation’s power?
