Chapter 2397: Chapter 2365: Take It If It’s Free

In the Starry Universe, there exists Floating Mind Sky-Patterned Iron.

It is a divine material, lighter than a feather yet strangely resilient.

Li Chen once had the fortune to obtain such a piece of divine iron from the Cat Emperor in the Immortal Domain.

Later, it was also thanks to that piece of Floating Mind Sky-Patterned Iron that he crossed the Three Births River; otherwise, standing on the Three Lives Riverbank, Li Chen would have had no solution at all, possibly only managing to choose the furthest direction to detour around it.

But if that were the case, there would be no dreaming of eternity, and Li Chen would be even less likely to learn the secrets of the Seven Realms War.

It can be said that that piece of Floating Mind Sky-Patterned Iron provided immense help to Li Chen.

And after Li Chen arrived in the Jianmu Universe, he certainly didn’t remain ignorant.

At least when on the Purple Fir Continent, although he was cultivating in hiding during closed-door cultivation in Zhuoyan Academy, he frequently had Qu Qiu bring him some jade slips about odd news and events in the Jianmu Universe.

One could say, some divine objects in the Jianmu Universe aren’t all that different from those in the Starry Universe; even objects unique to the Starry Universe also exist in the Jianmu Universe, albeit under entirely different names.

However, the Rune Hollow Iron of Jianmu Universe doesn’t equate to the Floating Mind Sky-Patterned Iron of the Starry Universe!

Despite their extremely similar names and nearly identical characteristics, they are indeed two distinct divine materials.

The characteristic of Floating Mind Sky-Patterned Iron is its extraordinary lightness; once refined, one can hardly perceive its weight.

But the characteristic of Rune Hollow Iron is concealment!

Similarly light, though not at the level of Floating Mind Sky-Patterned Iron, its concealment greatly surpasses that of Floating Mind Sky-Patterned Iron.

In the Jianmu Universe, any assassin adept regards owning a weapon refined from Rune Hollow Iron as a privilege.

For with such a weapon, even during an attack, it’s difficult for the enemy to detect.

Moreover, Rune Hollow Mother Iron takes this concealment to its extreme.

Though it exists, even if someone were to place it right in front, it remains undetectable.

This undetectability is unrelated to cultivation.

Even now, with Li Chen possessing a divine soul approaching Late Phase Dao Saint, it was only after the Seven Realms Tome reminded him several times that he found this piece of Rune Hollow Mother Iron, demonstrating its natural concealment to an extraordinary degree.

"This thing...really exists?" Even Li Chen couldn’t help but feel astonished.

Because in Zhuoyan Academy’s introduction, it stated that this might be the only piece of Rune Hollow Mother Iron in the entire universe, and its existence was merely a legend awaiting verification.

Yet, to Li Chen’s surprise, it was evidently right before him.

"Looks like it truly exists." the Seven Realms Tome remarked, "It might be that this thing in your hand is the universe’s singular piece."

Regarding Li Chen’s luck, even the Seven Realms Tome was somewhat speechless.

Sometimes, rarity also signifies an item’s value.

And undoubtedly, the value of Rune Hollow Mother Iron is well worth its cosmic rarity.

As integrating this item into a weapon renders it completely invisible; even if the opponent stands right in front, they might not detect it.

In mortal combat among the strong, this scenario is undoubtedly the most lethal!

What left the Seven Realms Tome speechless was, even now, the Red Moon, though detached from an ’instrument’ identity, still retains some traits as an ’instrument’.

This item offers little for Li Chen, but for the Red Moon, it’s tantamount to granting Red Moon a chance for metamorphosis.

Red Moon is already extraordinarily powerful, fast in speed, with strong attacks.

But what if these features were to integrate the ’invisibility’ characteristic of Rune Hollow Iron?

Undoubtedly, even without Li Chen’s control, Red Moon would become an extremely ferocious assassin.

"Is this thing really that useful?"

Grasping this intangible item amidst his divine sense, Li Chen couldn’t help but show a puzzled expression.

If the Seven Realms Tome had a face, it would surely be dark as a pot now. After explaining for so long, was it all for nothing?

"Why not let Red Moon consume it as a trial?" the Seven Realms Tome suggested with a touch of impatience.

Communicating with someone lacking cultural depth is indeed strenuous.

"Consume it?"

Li Chen hesitated for a moment, then displayed a hint of reluctance.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling, just uncertain about what consequences might ensue if Red Moon indeed consumed this item.

"The refining materials of Red Moon’s body come from a peak-level Dao Saint physical body. Honestly, these materials are likely unparalleled throughout the universe, for no one would be mad enough to conduct artifact refining with a Dao Saint’s physical body. Furthermore, even as enemies, it wouldn’t be done, since beings like Dao Saints are immensely precious in any universe."

Seven Realms Tome explained, "Therefore, to a certain extent, Red Moon is also an unparalleled existence. Only such uniqueness can allow for miracles with Red Moon, an inherently unmatched being. Because despite everything, Red Moon’s body is somewhat influenced by artifact refining, making advancements extremely difficult. Do you wish to watch Red Moon halt because of such issues?"

The relationship between Seven Realms Tome and Red Moon was not the best, yet it spoke from a rational standpoint at this moment.

After a moment’s hesitation, Li Chen then nodded.

He was honestly unsure how to assist Red Moon.

All along, Red Moon advanced by consuming the essence blood of the strong.

Now at this grade level, solely relying on devouring strong essence blood evident hasn’t much effect.

It’s apparent that Red Moon is indeed trapped by some kind of barrier.

But precisely because Red Moon is exceedingly exceptional, it results in Li Chen not knowing how to handle the matter.

"Alright!"

Eventually, Li Chen nodded; in any case, the Seven Realms Tome sided with him now, and he believed the Seven Realms Tome wouldn’t harm Red Moon.

For the Seven Realms Tome, there isn’t any point in scheming against Red Moon.

"If that’s the case, let’s leave then." Li Chen said, "I should also go and choose an item belonging to me."

"You’re still too foolish." The Seven Realms Tome remarked once again.

"Hmm?"

"You’ve seen the introduction about Rune Hollow Mother Iron: formless, colorless, without substance, difficult to seek. Such a thing lying here like garbage for so many years; do you believe if that so-called Heavenly Profound Sect truly knew of such a treasure’s existence, they’d just randomly stack it here?" the Seven Realms Tome stated.

Li Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean..."

"No taking, no gaining; grab another one." the Seven Realms Tome said, calm and unfazed.
