Chapter 144: The First Profound Artifact

Autumn, Year 9357 of the Chenxi Calendar.

Treehouse, meditation chamber.

Anton sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion with his eyes gently closed, his breathing long and subtle, his entire body as motionless as a statue.

Within his Dantian's Qi Sea, Primordial True Essence slowly swirled like a five-colored cloud of light, enveloping the Sword Pill layer by layer.

The dark gold dragon patterns that had once covered the Sword Pill's surface were now slowly squirming and contracting as if they were alive.

They transformed into slithering spirit snakes, winding across the Sword Pill's surface, sometimes gathering together, other times scattering apart.

And with each cycle of gathering and scattering, one of the dragon patterns would sink into the Sword Pill and disappear.

With each one that vanished, the Sword Pill grew a fraction brighter, and the intensity of its vibrations increased.
