The pitch-black ring was simple and unadorned. It wouldn't be strange if players sold it to NPCs as scrap.
However, when Shifeng revealed the pitch-black ring, Xia Lian was stunned. Shifeng could even feel the Mana in the hall fluctuate. The calm elemental Mana in the hall instantly became violent. However, it quickly calmed down.
This was the first time Shifeng had seen Xia Lian lose his composure.
"Where did you get this?" Xia Lian asked, joy and excitement flashing in his eyes as he looked at the pitch-black ring in Shifeng's hand.
"A hidden room in the Orc Palace." Shifeng could not help his joy when he realized that Xia Lian already knew what the ring in his hand was.
If even Xia Lian did not know what the ring was, then he would have no choice but to leave it in the Warehouse.
After all, without an Appraisal Skill that was one rank higher than Omniscient Eyes, he would not be able to analyze the ring. Moreover, such a Skill was not something that could be obtained easily. However, if an NPC knew what the ring was, they could do so without analyzing it.
"So that's how it is. So, that old fellow really did obtain that item," Xia Lian said, smiling. With a wave of his hand, the pitch-black ring in Shifeng's hand landed in Xia Lian's. Slowly, Xia Lian said, "This ring is called the Ring of Eternity. It originally belonged to the God Slayer. However, it seems that this ring is now completely useless."
"Completely useless?" Shifeng's heart skipped a beat.
He had thought that the ring would be very powerful, yet it turned out to be trash. It was no wonder why Omniscient Eyes had failed to analyze it.
"However, don't be too discouraged. Although it is useless, the ring's material is very special." Seeing Shifeng's disappointed expression, Xia Lian could not help but smile. "After all, this ring was originally a Godly Relic. Back then, the World Heart was used as the main material to create this ring. I believe that many people will want this ring. You just need to get a Master Blacksmith to create a new one."
When the Shifeng heard about the World-Core, their breathing quickened.
A World Heart was the foundation of a world. Many of God's Domain's Otherworlds had evolved from World Hearts. One could see just how valuable a World Heart was.
"If you don't need this ring, you can sell it to me. I can give you 200 units of Seven Luminaries Crystal or a Eternium mine near White River City," Xia Lian tempted as he toyed with the Ring of Eternity in his hand.
Even Shifeng would be tempted by such a price.
He didn't expect Mr. Xia Lian to be so generous and rich.
If a first-rate Guild tried to collect 200 units of Seven Luminaries Crystal, it would take them years to do so. Meanwhile, the Eternium mine near White River City was even more famous.
He didn't expect the mine to be owned by the Xia Lian …
Eternium was a rare support ore that could be used to craft Magic Steel Ingots, which could be used to increase the success rate of weapon and equipment production.
Hence, many Guilds had tried to take advantage of the Eternium mine in the past. Unfortunately, the mine belonged to a kingdom, and the NPCs guarding it were all Level 180 or above.
If he could obtain the Eternium mine, Candlelight's forgers would have a much easier time crafting Level 50-plus weapons and equipment.
"Lord Xia Lian, do we need a Master Alchemist to reforge the ring?" Shifeng asked.
Xia Lian's offer was indeed valuable, but the World Heart was also incomparably precious. It would be impossible to obtain such a material in the future.
"It doesn't have to be a Master Alchemist. Only a Master Alchemist can bring out the maximum value of this material. If we ask a Master or Grandmaster to reforge it, the resulting product will likely be much less valuable. At that time, let alone 200 units of Seven Luminaries Crystal, it might not even be worth 50 units," Xia Lian said, smiling. Glancing at Shifeng, he chuckled and said, "You should consider this carefully. The Power of Darkness in your body is already quite dense. If you sell this ring to me, I can help you repair the Bible of Darkness slightly. That way, you can prevent Moloch's Ring from devouring you."
"You can help me repair the Bible of Darkness?" Shifeng was slightly surprised. He never thought that Xia Lian would be so interested in the Ring of Eternity that he would be willing to help him repair the Bible of Darkness. Immediately, he agreed, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble Lord Xia Lian to help me repair the Bible of Darkness."
Previously, he had rushed his Tier 2 Promotion Quest because he was worried about Moloch's Ring's devouring effect on him. Now that he could resolve this problem, he naturally couldn't be happier. After all, he still had many things he needed to do. He didn't have much time to complete quests to repair the Bible of Darkness.
He had plenty of ways to obtain Seven Luminaries Crystals from other sources. As for the ore mine, Manatite veins were far more precious and rare than Eternium veins. Manatite ore could also be used to produce higher-ranked Source Iron Ingots, which could increase the forging success rate. Moreover, Manatite veins could also produce Magic Crystals.
As for creating a new ring, there were only a handful of Master Blacksmiths throughout God's Domain. At his current level, he had no way of establishing connections with any of them. Rather than using the World Core to boost his combat power, he could avoid completing an Epic Quest or above.
"You've made a wise choice. Otherwise, you would've had no choice but to make a trip to the Heaven-Shattering Canyon," Xia Lian said, chuckling. Chuckling, Sharlyn stored the Ring of Eternity. She then turned to Shi Feng and said, "Follow me."
Hearing Xia Lian mention the Heaven-Shattering Canyon, a chill ran down Shifeng's spine.
He never thought that he would have to go to such a dangerous place to repair the Bible of Darkness.
The Heaven-Shattering Canyon was a Tier 2 forbidden land for humans, second only to the Ruined Mountain Range. If one ventured into the Ruined Mountain Range, they would never return. Meanwhile, the Heaven-Shattering Canyon was also famous for its extreme danger. Moreover, one had to reach Tier 3 to survive.
In the past, countless peak experts had ventured into the Heaven-Shattering Canyon. There were gains and losses. Some had improved their strength, while others had been crippled. Just surviving the Heaven-Shattering Canyon was enough to make one an expert among experts. As for obtaining anything from the Heaven-Shattering Canyon, only peak experts had a chance of doing so.
Very quickly, under Xia Lian's guidance, Shifeng arrived at a teleportation array inside the Heaven-Shattering Canyon.
When the teleportation array activated, Shifeng's vision blurred. Then, he appeared in a hall that resembled a starry night sky.
"This is … the Stargazing Tower!" Shifeng was slightly surprised. He never thought that White River City's library would have a teleportation array connected to the Stargazing Tower.
The Stargazing Tower was located in Blackwing City. Without an entry pass, one could not enter Blackwing City.
Under Xia Lian's guidance, Shifeng entered the Weeping Moon Pavilion. Immediately, he felt much more relaxed.
"The Weeping Moon Pavilion greatly suppresses the Power of Darkness. This way, you won't attract the attention of the Demon Kings when you repair the Bible of Darkness," Xia Lian explained. "Alright, place the Bible of Darkness in the magic array beneath the mirror."
Shifeng nodded. He then retrieved the Bible of Darkness and placed it on the magic array engraved on the ground.
The magic array engraved in the center of the Weeping Moon Pavilion looked extremely ancient. Even without activating any Mana, Shi Feng could already feel an ancient and vicissitude aura.
"Activate, Space-time Source!"
Xia Lian stood before the magic array. Suddenly, a dazzling scepter appeared in his hand. He then pointed it at the magic array.
Immediately, the dense Mana in the Weeping Moon Pavilion surged. Immediately, the magic array engraved on the ground lit up. The frightening amount of Mana immediately forced Shifeng to sit on the ground, unable to even stand up.
"How is this possible?!" Shifeng stared at the magic array engraved on the ceiling. The magic array was so powerful that it was several times stronger than the Tier 6 God-ranked Spells he had seen before.
In the next moment, the Bible of Darkness in the center of the magic array began to flip. Layers of pitch-black shackles bound the Bible of Darkness's surface. Meanwhile, as if time was flowing in reverse, the black shackles binding the Bible of Darkness disappeared one after another.
When only five black shackles remained, the magic array abruptly stopped. Violent Mana then exploded, and a shockwave spread out from the magic array.
Not daring to be careless, Shifeng immediately activated Absolute Domain, becoming immune to all damage.
When the shockwave struck Shifeng's body, although he did not receive any damage, he felt his consciousness sway, and he nearly fainted.
