Heart of Eternity

It is a heart which **Holy Necromancer, The Slumbering** **Calamity** Elux made by using all the light essence he had accumulated throughout his life and through his slumber and by using **his brand as a Scion of Light** to resurrect Long Haochen and act as his new heart after he was killed by Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu and his original heart was destroyed by him. And Elux himself declared that this was his Masterpiece and called it the **Heart of Eternity**.

## Description

This is the heart Elux have reconstructed for Long Haochen. Haochen's flesh will be able to regain its functions and assimilate its power. It will become his strongest spiritual cavity in the future, as well as the source of his whole power. Elux called it **Heart of** **Eternity**, and if he may say, that’s the greatest masterpiece of his whole life.

Elux extracted all the light essence to turn it into holy power of the purest kind. Do you know what he have stripped and peeled from his very soul? It is his brand as a former Scion of Light. In other words, Elux did not give Haochen his power, but the power of the previous Scion of Light. It can be understood as receiving holy light and flesh of the purest kind from before the time Elux have become corrupted.

Elux's Heart of Eternity was a success, and in some sense, the past him before corruption will continue to live inside Long Haochen. Maybe this was the best choice he could do. He will be a little part of all the future contributions Haochen will make for humanity in the future. Elux's hopes this will serve as a little redemption for all his previous sins.

The Heart of Eternity was not a real heart. It was a heart of spiritual energy created by a combination of Elux’s past constitution as a Scion of Light , which was further modified using his understanding of the human body and the necromancy he had cultivated.

This Heart of Eternity had all the abilities of a normal human heart. Even every single blood vessel was the same. It also had enough energy to last for at least a thousand years. As long as Long Haochen’s cultivation remained, the Heart of Eternity would never stop beating, and it would make Long Haochen stronger and stronger, granting him more and more power.

After all, Elux was not the creator god. He could not create a heart that was exactly the same as Long Haochen’s original one from nothing.

Later when Ye Xiaolei fused with Long Haochen her vitality resulted in a new heart for Long Haochen which also fused with the Heart of Eternity.

## Process of Forming

Elux’s right hand once again pointed to the coffin in front of him, and this time, what came out from there was a bright light of an incomparable purity. When it bubbled up from the coffin, Elux immediately gained an illusory look, as if his soul was sustaining a great attack.

Compared to the previous gathered energy of death, the golden radiance that Elux liberated this time became much slower, his face looking a lot more grave than before, so much so that it was a bit strange.

The light was extracted for a whole hour, before ending gradually. Long Haochen and Cai’er understood that what Elux was now doing pertained greatly to Long Haochen’s resurrection. Only, they did not understand by which method the formerly most powerful necromancer was attempting to recover Long Haochen’s lost heart.

The coffin was not releasing bright light anymore, and Elux’s face became even more focused than before. His left hand was pressed lightly onto his forehead, and then, a light ray with a tail of light came out from the midst of his soul. His movement was slow, and the expression on his face started to twist, as he seemingly suffered a great pain. But, both his hands were extremely stable, maintaining the same movement.

Gradually, that dot of light was pulled out entirely from his soul. When he was done, his originally very corporeal soul body immediately became transparent, much weaker than before.

Elux’s hands both started the same movement. From his hands, dots of light gathered into a large ball, and his hands started to trace complicated symbols, each movement appearing very fast. These complicated symbols rapidly joined with the golden mass in front of him that fluctuated constantly in front of these complex symbols, and even trembled.

As one symbol after another was completed, Elux’s soul body became more and more transparent, and on the last one, he couldn’t help but open his mouth wide, breathing while looking down toward the coffin.

Immediately, a blackish-gray energy burst out from the coffin, making his soul body regain substance upon contact. Only, that blackish-gray color seemed full of evil and malevolence, incompatible with the golden color right in front.

Bang, bang, bang, bang... A fantastic scene followed. When Elux held his hands out, facing the lumpy golden object toward Long Haochen, it made sounds similar to heartbeats, and drifted slowly toward Haochen.

While saying that, Elux’s eyes flashed in the light as that ball of light suddenly broke into the space in the middle of Haochen’s heart. He felt an incomparable surge of heat travelling into all his limbs and causing him to unconsciously sit cross-legged on the ground. His whole body turned golden, and he lost even the capability to think.

## Process of Integration

### Entering the Body

The Heart of Eternity was really filled with extremely pure light essence, and used the blood vessels of the original Scion of Light, Elux. Long Haochen being a Scion of Light too, his blood vessels joined with the former Scion of Light’s, although a short time of rejection had occurred first.

In the contest of blood vessels power, Long Haochen was far more powerful, after all Elux had already deceased several thousand years ago. Perhaps his spiritual energy did not come loose, and was still as incredibly powerful, but his blood vessels had already long since decayed. He could only extract the best parts of the blood vessels, which was why after this short time of rejection and clashing, Long Haochen’s own blood vessels took complete control and were the ones to integrate this blood vessel power of great purity.

Under these circumstances, Elux’s great capability came to view. After the blood vessels’ integration was complete, a large amount of nerves started undulating in Long Haochen’s chest, as the brand new heart was in the midst of growing.

### Starting of Reconstruction

A numb feeling ran through Long Haochen’s whole body, waking him from a state of coma close to deep slumber.

Long Haochen found out about the changes in his own body very fast. A numb feeling spread out from his chest, bringing an intense pain. He clenched his teeth tensely, knowing that this was the crucial instant. The reconstruction of a heart is something he had never heard about before. Even the greatest resurrection spell of the light attribute would need a full organism to possibly achieve resurrection. But Elux had managed such a feat, a miracle of which he had become the final proof. If he were to leave things unfinished at this point just because of the intolerable pain, even a collaboration of all the gods descending to his rescue would perhaps not be able to save him. For Cai’er’s sake, and for every one of their comrades, there’s no way Haochen could let such a thing happen.

The process of heart reconstruction was really complex, and in this whole process, Long Haochen’s spiritual energy kept rising from beginning to end.

Although his body had to bear an extreme pain, Long Haochen realized that great changes had clearly appeared during the reconstruction compared to before.

He was neither a doctor nor a priest, and naturally had no understanding of the human heart. But even an even greater ignorant would clearly feel that something changed if he were to inspect everything inside his body. The greatest and most direct change lay in the color.

### Reconstruction Complete

A normal human heart should be red, and even when spiritual energy operates, the spiritual energy should guard around the heart; this is done through the spiritual cavity appearing first in powerhouses of any vocation, the one in the heart.

But Long Haochen’s heart was completely different from that in this process of reconstruction. He clearly felt his flesh growing, and the new flesh that came out was all golden colored, without the slightest red tint. In the process of growing his heart, spiritual energy was liberated freely, becoming one with his whole flesh.

That could be described as a heart of gold’. And, right now, this description was to be taken literally, his heart was really reconstructed with a golden color.

### Starting of Recovery

In a blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Long Haochen’s original clothes had been replaced with a black coating, his clothes having shattered continuously under the effects of that white energy spreading all around. Every shattered bit was caused by a purification by the pure energy, putting Long Haochen into an awkward state of exposure.

This black was originally the sweat from his body expelling impurities from his body. The dark corrosion left by the Demon God Emperor in his body was expelled in this process, and more importantly, although he had to suffer an immense pain, that lump of gold in his chest became more and more rich and powerful. At last, the reconstruction of his heart was finally completed.

After three full days of torment, Long Haochen really felt dizzy, but he kept gritting his teeth, for he had to stay awake during this whole time or else no one would know what happened during his coma. And, if he couldn’t personally witness the whole process of the reconstruction of his heart, Long Haochen’s future cultivation would surely greatly get impeded.

From the looks of it, it seemed that his heart was already back to a whole, that the veins in his body fulfilled their role as mediator properly. But Long Haochen knew that the most important step of the process of reconstruction was coming. Only when this reconstructed heart would start performing its normal work, would this process be finally over.

### Recovery Complete

Long Haochen’s body suddenly stiffened, the final veins about to get flowing. The determinant instant had come.

Pop. The blood and spiritual energy was quietly extracted, and Long Haochen’s body suddenly contorted violently. His focus was entirely locked on to his heart, and due to the nervousness, his body couldn’t help but have slight spasms.

When the last vein operated, that gold-colored heart shrank intensely. The tight grip of gold color was also a grip at Long Haochen’s soul. A golden halation dispersed from the tightened heart, but this time it did not simply travel back and forth, but dispersed all around.

## Effects

The Heart of Eternity entered his body, taking the spot of Long Haochen’s heart, and a massive light essence softly entered his heart and underwent a process of gathering.

When Long Haochen’s heart was crushed by the Demon God Emperor, the core spiritual cavity on his chest was actually smashed to pieces. Right now, even if he came back to life, all his cultivation could be said to need a restart.

After the Heart of Eternity was poured in, it immediately became a joining point between all the other spiritual cavities. The massive light essence spreading outside very rapidly linked up with the other spiritual cavities, and when they all connected, the light essence flowed smoothly through Long Haochen’s body, restoring his original cultivation.

This process of recovery was undergone very fast, and was already over by the time Cai’er had recounted what they had experienced. When Long Haochen’s spiritual energy was back to the level of the eighth step, a formidable change started to occur in his body.

Long Haochen found out through introspection that **his** **blood vessels, channels, and even his heart all got colored gold**, under the influence of the pure spiritual energy pulsing vigorously all around his heart. His light attribute even went beyond pure; although it looked liquid, Long Haochen was able to feel its entirely solid state.

The fusion of two great physiques of Scions of Light caused Long Haochen’s innate internal spiritual energy to raise the original limit. If there was some tool able to really assess his current innate spiritual energy, it would be found out with a terrifying shock that his **innate internal spiritual energy now exceeded a hundred and twenty.**

In other words, Long Haochen should not be called a wielder of a Scion of Light physique, but the wielder of a **Physique of Pure Light**. His light essence was not much different from the power from a God’s Descent of the Goddess of Light. No one would possibly compare in purity with his light in this world.

The Heart of Eternity contained all the light attribute at Elux’s disposal, which was only deposited there before his heart had reconstructed. But when Long Haochen finally completed the process of resurrection, this light of the highest grade started to show its greatest features.

In just a short while, Long Haochen found out with shock that his body’s changes broke through his known limits.

Just during the previous splurt of absorption, he found out that, astonishingly, the internal spiritual energy in his body actually managed to break through a hundred thousand. Right, that was the symbolic level of the ninth step. In other words, he should now be a powerhouse of the ninth step, although in actual fact, he did not experience the slightest feeling of breakthrough.

This boundary should still be around the eighth step.

This hundred thousand spiritual energy filled his Heart of Eternity alone, but the other spiritual cavities in his body were still empty

Long Haochen was shocked by this abnormal phenomenon even before getting the chance to rejoice over the rise of his spiritual energy. This was already far past common sense. Even demons would get to the ninth step after reaching a hundred thousand spiritual energy. He clearly had already surpassed this amount, yet remained on the eighth step’s boundary.

With Long Haochen’s level of intelligence, he very rapidly came to understand that to make the breakthrough from the eighth to the ninth step, a tenth spiritual cavity following the ninth needed to be produced. Only after nine filled spiritual cavities make the final breakthrough can this ninth step be passed through. And, although his internal energy had already broken through ten thousand, which should mean that his spiritual cavities reached an amount of nine, in practice his spiritual cavities still hadn’t reached this amount, only his spiritual energy having broken through. This miracle was really due to the Heart of Eternity.

The Heart of Eternity replaced his initial chest part’s spiritual cavity, and had far greater effects than the original one. Long Haochen’s spiritual energy was still not reaching the required level, which is why he didn’t break through the ninth step yet.

Chest, head, abdomen, arms, and thighs, totalling seven spiritual cavities. That’s Long Haochen’s current foundation, which is to say that his cultivation should **ordinarily be limited to seventy thousand spiritual energy,** and need to wait for the opening of a new spiritual cavity to advance further. But the appearance of the Heart of Eternity smashed this limit.

Although the Heart of Eternity replaced his original spiritual cavity, its **storing power was not ten thousand, but a hundred thousand**. In other words, Long Haochen’s tolerance to spiritual energy shot up from **seventy thousand to a hundred sixty thousand**. So although his spiritual energy progressed, his cultivation stage had not increased yet.

But one may well imagine how terrifying the concept of a **powerhouse of the eight step with a cultivation of a hundred and sixty thousand spiritual energy was.** And when Long Haochen’s Heart of Eternity pulsed, **his output of spiritual energy reached a full hundred and sixty thousand, meaning his cultivation stage was still at the eighth step, but his level of strength thoroughly reach the ninth step**, only lacking some extraordinary abilities appearing at the ninth step. His transfer of spiritual energy and burst power even surpassed powerhouses of the ninth step with the same amount of spiritual energy.

This reconstructed Heart of Eternity Elux gave him was really formidable. In the case where Long Haochen’s spiritual cavities would get filled up, his strength would increase to at least twice its previous amount, and that was if his cultivation level would not keep going up in the meantime. And with this Heart of Eternity, Long Haochen’s absorption of spiritual energy became far faster than ordinary powerhouses of the eighth step. As long as he would just keep opening his spiritual cavities, he would certainly not need a long time before breaking through the ninth step.
