Chapter 363: Divine Essence Pill
Chapter 363: Divine Essence Pill
"Eighteen Fourth Stage Nascent Soul-level Puppets?"
Gong Fei Yun's original body smiled slightly, and in his palm, it was as if he held a sun, which fell with a thunderous boom.
The first form of the Great Sun Buddha Palm—Great Sun Illumination!
Boom!
The majestic sunlight enveloped the entire plaza, and the hemispherical crimson Great Sun Realm expanded outward, devouring layer upon layer of restrictions.
A terrifying wave spread, causing even cultivators like Huo Long Zhenren in different areas to feel intense fear.
"Divine Transformation?"
Taibai Sword Immortal was in the Spirit Herb Garden, battling a spirit beast guarding the Holy Perception Fruit.
At that moment, his entire body trembled, and he almost had his heart clawed out by the four-armed spirit monkey across from him, "How could there be a Divine Transformation Cultivator here?"
"Someone at the Divine Transformation stage has made a move? No... it's more like a Talisman or a one-time treasure!" Gong Fei Yun's hand trembled as he set up the teleportation array, and a piece of Voidstone instantly became useless.
Unconcerned, he took out another piece of Voidstone and began carving array patterns.
In front of him, a teleportation array was already half-completed...
...
"Divine Transformation battle prowess? A Nascent Soul Cultivator unleashing Divine Transformation battle prowess will surely become a Divine Transformation Grand Lord in the future, perhaps even a Spirit Refinement Master!"
Inside the Stone Chamber, the handsome middle-aged man gazed at Gong Fei Yun's original body, muttering to himself, "It's just too unfair. Is this my test for him, or his test for me? Fortunately, this person has a good relationship with the Golden Sword Lineage... Sigh, why is he a crude-mannered Body Cultivator instead of a Sword Cultivator?"
...
Crack!
The long-sealed doors of the ancient hall opened, revealing various rooms to Gong Fei Yun's eyes.
Among these rooms, some held alchemy cauldrons, while others stored large quantities of medicinal ingredients.
There were also jade bottles.
"These are all Third Rank Pills and below."
Gong Fei Yun shook his head, not bothering to take a look, and directly ventured deeper.
Occasionally, he encountered puppets, traps, and restrictions... Gong Fei Yun's original body charged forward, his physique comparable to a Fifth Rank Body Cultivator, crushing everything in his path.
The originally rigorous tests seemed like a joke.
"Hmm?"
After entering the depths of the Cauldron Spirit Pavilion, Gong Fei Yun saw numerous black cauldrons sealed and protected!
"This is... the Medicine Deity Cauldron? A special treasure used to store precious pills, capable of preserving medicinal properties for over ten thousand years."
He casually opened a Medicine Deity Cauldron and saw a Voidgreen Flask inside. After removing the stopper, a rich fragrance of pills wafted out.
"A Fourth Rank Heavenly Primordial Pill, which can help early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators advance their cultivation..."
Gong Fei Yun put away the pill and opened another Medicine Deity Cauldron, "Huh? I'm quite lucky this time, as it's actually a single Embryo Condensation Pill?"
Back then, he had caused quite a stir for just a single Embryo Condensation Pill.
However, in the Primordial Soul Sword Sect, as long as one's merits were sufficient, they could directly exchange them for Embryo Condensation Pills.
He continued downward and found many precious Fourth Rank Pills.
Covering various aspects like healing, dispelling inner demons, and advancing cultivation, he even found two Infancy Strengthening Pills!
Finally, Gong Fei Yun reached the deepest part of the Cauldron Spirit Pavilion.
"Here, there should be some Fifth Rank Pills, right?"
He looked at the few remaining high-grade Medicine Deity Cauldrons with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Don't even think about it. The Fifth Rank Pills here have long been exhausted... Even if there are some left, they are all defective and semi-waste pills. For a Nascent Soul True Monarch, these Fifth Rank Pills have too much toxicity and are too potent, making them difficult to digest."
A ray of light appeared and transformed into the handsome middle-aged array spirit, who sighed helplessly at Gong Fei Yun, "The most core legacy of the Cauldron Spirit Pavilion is the Divine Essence Alchemy Scripture... a Fifth Rank Alchemy Legacy."
"What a pity. I thought there would be a Sixth Rank Alchemy Legacy."
Gong Fei Yun felt a bit disappointed, causing the array spirit to roll his eyes, "After all, our sect is primarily focused on sword cultivation, so we're a bit lacking in other aspects of cultivation."
He casually tossed a pale golden jade slip to Gong Fei Yun's cultivation clone, "Take it, and let's go."
"Go? What's going on?"
Gong Fei Yun scanned with his spiritual sense and felt that although this pill scripture was only Fifth Rank, it contained numerous Fifth Rank pill formulas and various unique alchemy methods, making the trip worthwhile.
"Originally, after you finished exploring, I was planning to send you all away, leaving only Gong Fei Yun behind. After all, since he dared to take the risk, he should face more dangers."
The handsome middle-aged man smiled slightly, "But the person you brought is a Fifth Rank Body Cultivator, equivalent to a Divine Transformation battle prowess, so he also has the qualifications to participate in the subsequent major events."
"Participate?"
Gong Fei Yun's original body smiled slightly, "I'm quite interested, but before that..."
He casually punched, shattering the last few Medicine Deity Cauldrons, and grabbed a few bottles of pills.
"These are Fifth Rank Divine Essence Pills, used by Divine Transformation Cultivators to advance their cultivation. Even for early-stage Divine Transformation Cultivators, the effects are a bit too strong, and they are more suitable for mid-stage Divine Transformation Cultivators to consume..."
The array spirit sighed, "Unfortunately, they are all waste pills."
"That's not necessarily the case. I still have the Ten Thousand Transformations Cauldron to try and salvage it..."
Gong Fei Yun smiled but remained silent. "Moreover, in the Divine Essence Alchemy Scripture you just saw, there seems to be a special alchemy technique. It can use high-rank pills as the core ingredient and, after adding some medicinal ingredients, refine a large number of low-rank pills, equivalent to downgrading the effect and pursuing quantity..."
"If this batch of Divine Essence Pills can be purified, along with the previous batch of pills I obtained... it should be enough for my cultivation clones to reach the Nascent Soul Great Perfection realm."
"Within the Primordial Soul Sword Sect, there should still be an Incarnation Opportunity, right? As long as I get my hands on one, I dare to directly break through to the Divine Transformation realm!"
After all, he was most likely free from the Divine Transformation Heart Devil Tribulation, and his combat strength had reached the Divine Transformation level.
Basically, it was a smooth path ahead.
"Immortal Path Divine Transformation, and then cultivating the Spirit Refinement Legacy, should allow me to comprehend the basics of Spatial Law more easily..."
"This is Spatial Law!"
"There's even a great benefit after Spirit Refinement!"
"Wait, if I advance to Wu Shen first, I myself will be the Incarnation Opportunity!"
...
"Alright, let's go."
The handsome middle-aged Array Spirit began to shift through the void, taking the opportunity to observe Gong Fei Yun's reaction.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
Gong Fei Yun didn't care at all.
At his level of strength, he had nothing to fear from the changes in the Heavenly Primordial World.
A flash of silver light, and Gong Fei Yun saw Palace Lord Gong Fei Yun.
At this moment, Palace Lord Gong Fei Yun had set up a small Teleportation Array and was preparing to insert top-grade spirit stones.
"Array Spirit?"
Palace Lord Gong Fei Yun's expression held a hint of panic. "Why did you bring someone here?"
In his heart, he felt both the shame of being caught like a thief and some confusion.
After all, setting up a Teleportation Array to summon the Feathers Heavenly Venerable should have been a tacit understanding between both sides, right?
And... who was this additional Gong Fei Yun?
"Ahem... I don't have much time, so I'll be brief."
The handsome middle-aged Array Spirit coughed. "If you from the Ethereal Heavenly Palace want to obtain the Immortal Mansion Treasure, you must demonstrate your skills, and this young friend here..."
He pointed at Gong Fei Yun, "Is invited by the Golden Sword Lineage. If he can be considered a Divine Transformation Cultivator, then he naturally has the qualifications to join."
"Divine Transformation Cultivator?"
Palace Lord Gong Fei Yun's heart skipped a beat, and his hand in the sleeve tightly gripped a silver talisman.
"Join what?"
Gong Fei Yun opened his mouth with some confusion.
"Look at this..."
The handsome middle-aged Array Spirit waved his sleeve, revealing a scene from a small world—a lake island, a bronze vast cauldron, and a purple-black scaled monster in a crystal.
"This bronze cauldron is the 'Immortal Mansion Treasure' once collected by the Primordial Soul Sword Sect!"
The Array Spirit's face was filled with sighs. "Unfortunately... it's incomplete, only about three to four tenths of the original remains. Even so, using it as the core to set up an array, it can automatically refine pills. What's being nurtured in the cauldron is a Divine Transformation Elixir... its refinement technique has already surpassed our sect's Fifth Rank Pill Grand Master."
"Incomplete?"
Palace Lord Gong Fei Yun was startled. "What's missing?"
Gong Fei Yun was even more astonished because this vast cauldron vaguely resembled the Ten Thousand Transformations Cauldron.
"Missing the Cauldron Flame... and the Cauldron Spirit!" The handsome middle-aged Array Spirit sighed. "Perhaps the more divine an item is, the more it's envied by heaven... When our sect found this Immortal Mansion Treasure, it was missing the Cauldron Flame and the Cauldron Spirit had escaped... Even so, this incomplete Immortal Mansion Treasure is our sect's number one treasure."
'Cauldron Flame? Could it be... the Ten Thousand Transformation Flame?'
In Gong Fei Yun's heart, a guess flashed like lightning.
At this moment, they heard the Array Spirit continue, "Unfortunately... the Immortal Mansion Treasure attracted the attention of the Upper Realm, and that Ancient Demon boldly attacked our sect. The Absolute Sword Lord exhausted his primordial spirit, and everyone in the sect perished. With my great assistance, we finally managed to heavily injure that Ancient Demon, but we couldn't kill it and could only seal it within the Sword Realm... Now, influenced by the Seven Demon Purge Astral Phenomenon, the Ancient Demon has gradually awakened and is about to break free from the seal..."
'Absolute Sword Lord? Not the Absolute Sword Heavenly Venerable? It seems the previous generation of the Primordial Soul Sword Sect was in a low period and didn't have any late-stage Divine Transformation Grand Cultivators, hence the dire situation...'
Gong Fei Yun appeared deep in thought.
"Originally... I was planning to give you youngsters some benefits, and then join hands with the several Divine Transformation Venerables outside to kill the Ancient Demon... As for what happens after killing the Ancient Demon, I can't manage it."
The handsome middle-aged Array Spirit spoke, waving his hand casually.
Taibai Sword Immortal, who had already obtained the Holy Perception Fruit and was still scavenging in the Spirit Herb Garden, and Fire Dragon True Monarch, who cautiously emerged from a cave abode, both froze, and their figures instantly disappeared.
"But now... you also have the qualifications to participate, so I need to ask you, do you want to join the final contest?"
"The array spirit turned to Fang Xing, "The final contest, we might die! Or we might gain nothing... Even the Divine Transformation Elixir and Immortal Mansion Treasures are insignificant compared to our lives."
"Of course... I'm in."
Fang Xing's cultivation clone glanced at Gong Fei Yun and revealed a brilliant smile.
"Excellent!"
The handsome middle-aged array spirit nodded and waved, releasing scroll after scroll of charts.
...
Outside the mountain gate of the Primordial Soul Sword Sect, countless white light screens seemed infinite, and within, they nurtured sword qi powerful enough to slaughter gods and annihilate demons.
The Three Friends of the Boundless Sea were busy displaying various techniques and abilities, struggling to keep up.
"What a magnificent near-sixth-rank array..."
The True Monarch, wearing a golden crown, held a wooden fish Buddhist treasure, emitting countless sturdy golden Buddhist lights, like a small boat in the vast sea of sword qi, "I heard that when it's complete, it will be a sixth-rank array. We might die..."
"Stop the chatter. This passage is already one of the safer routes..."
The female True Monarch with the long knife had already unsheathed it, and the knife light flashed as she frantically consumed the sword qi.
"Fellow cultivators, save me!"
The most lewd-looking 'Shenfu Zhenjun' was screaming, occasionally throwing out a fourth-rank, top-grade talisman.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he revealed a look of surprise, "Array Spirit, is that you?"
Boom!
The grand array rotated, and a terrifying sword light suddenly shot out.
Shenfu Zhenjun's figure flickered, and he had already risen into the sky, followed by a terrifying surge of spiritual power.
With a wave of his hand, he drew upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, actively repelling the surrounding sword qi, and transformed it into a gigantic hand that clapped down, extinguishing the sword light.
"Old Fu... You... Divine Transformation?"
Even the cold and stern face of the female True Monarch showed a hint of astonishment.
"Haha... From now on, please address me as Shenfu Zunzhe!"
Shenfu Zunzhe laughed heartily and turned to look at the Primordial Soul Sword Sect, feeling depressed, "Why did this array spirit have to expose me?"
...
In another place, an elderly man in a Taoist robe carried a peachwood ancient sword on his back and held a golden compass in his hand, constantly muttering words.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a gust of wind carried him forward, and he rushed a few steps to collide with the light screen of the array!
Just as the Taoist elder collided, the array seemed to have a one-in-a-billion flaw, revealing a small hole.
Crack!
His upper body rushed into the array, but the array suddenly changed, trapping him like a thief stuck in a dog hole, unable to advance or retreat, creating a comical scene.
"Damn... The grand array's four-nine, heavenly derivation, one line... The array spirit is actively manipulating the array, and the original flaw is no longer a flaw..."
The Taoist elder was full of regret.
...
"Hmm?"
On a mountain path at the bottom of the sea, the white light ahead was reduced to a thin layer, and the majestic mountain gate of the Primordial Soul Sword Sect could be seen.
The Sin Palace Nascent Souls and the Nascent Souls of the Limitless Hall took turns attacking the light screen, attracting the sword qi's counterattack.
Meng Old Devil's body was surrounded by a thousand bronze lamps, and occasionally, he would blow out a strand of pitch-black flame, burning the sword qi.
"In a few more hours, we will definitely break through the outer perimeter of the Slaughter God Annihilate Demon Sword Formation and enter the mountain gate of the Primordial Soul Sword Sect... At that time, these Sin Palace Nascent Souls will still be useful, and we can't afford to lose them all here."
Meng Old Devil thought for a moment and casually threw out a corpse bag.
A demon cloud appeared, and within it, dozens of fourth-rank corpse puppets roared and howled... In the center, there was an extremely pale-skinned female corpse, her body like bright jade, emitting a treasure light, which was a near-fifth-rank corpse puppet! The numerous corpse puppets charged the array, instantly reducing the pressure on the various Nascent Souls ahead.
At this moment, Meng Old Devil roared, "Array Spirit... How dare you?!"
...
Inside the Primordial Soul Sword Sect.
On the teleportation array, a flash of light appeared, revealing a young man in a feathered robe.
He looked only fifteen or sixteen, his eyes as pure as jade, and he smiled as he cupped his hands towards the array spirit, "Zeng Daoyou... It's been a while."
"I'm not the master, just a spirit array crafted by the master."
The handsome middle-aged man spoke, "Feather Daoyou, you're quite bold... Aren't you afraid I'll directly move you into the realm of the Absolute Sword Lord?"
"Hehe, I believe in Fei Yun!"
Feathers Heavenly Venerable laughed, "Without the guidance of the teleportation array, I would have to break through the array step by step!"
With the might of a near-sixth-rank array, forcibly moving a Divine Transformation Grand Lord was still beyond his capabilities, unless the person actively cooperated.
Of course, once they cooperated, there was a risk of life and death.
Although Feathers Heavenly Venerable had previously planted Gong Fei Yun and used his own teleportation array to enter, he had taken a certain risk.
But for the chance to obtain the Immortal Mansion Treasures, this risk was worth taking!
It was better to take a step ahead than to compete with various Divine Transformation Venerables, or even Meng Tian Zun, later on.
