Chapter 430: Chapter 65 Seven Orifice Exquisite Heart
This guy secretly siphoned off Prince Yuanqing's Heavenly Mandate Vitality. Although he did it covertly, making sure no one else noticed, as a fellow Master of One Realm, he had already detected it long ago.
Initially, he thought it was just a temporary ploy to gain some benefits. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that at this critical juncture, not only did he refuse to stop, but he even intensified his efforts, devouring the vitality at an even faster rate!
Once the other party makes their move, we're all doomed. At this point, no matter how much Heavenly Mandate Vitality he absorbs, it's completely meaningless!
Just as he was about to stop the man and discuss ways to escape, he saw the Heavenly Mandate Vitality around the man's body expand further, and the devouring speed accelerated several-fold.
“Wait, is he even absorbing the Heavenly Mandate Vitality from Jiang Li's alchemy Heavenly Mandate?”
Realizing this, Empyrean Kong shi was momentarily speechless.
He had seen greedy people, but never had he seen one so greedy they no longer cared for their life!
That being said, he had to admit, the man was indeed skilled at capitalizing on opportunities.
Jiang Li and Prince Yuanqing had summoned the River of Destiny, captured Yao Yun and others, and were concentrating all their efforts on pill forging. It never crossed their minds that someone would sneakily tear a hole in the river and continuously steal the Yuan Power they had painstakingly accumulated.
In just a few short minutes, tens of billions of strands had been devoured, filling the perpetrator's pockets to overflowing.
“Truly ruthless. No wonder he caught up to me in just a few years on the Master Teacher Continent and even surpassed me…”
Empyrean Kong shi shook his head with a bitter smile.
In a little over two years, this Zhang Xuan had risen from being an ordinary person on the Master Teacher Continent to becoming a Nine Heavens Emperor and then a Master of One Realm. In contrast, it had taken him thousands of years to achieve the same. He once thought it was merely a matter of talent, but now he understood–the man was not only more ruthless but also downright insane!
Others resorted to murder and all manner of violence over pill forging, but this guy? He just hid in the shadows and emptied their homes…
Ruthless indeed!
Still, he felt no sympathy whatsoever for Prince Yuanqing and Elder Jiang Li, whose “homes” had been raided.
The two of them were both unscrupulous individuals, willing to achieve their goals by any means necessary. Their mere loss of some Heavenly Mandate Vitality was nothing; even if they were entirely killed off, it would serve them right.
“The medicinal power is sufficient!”
As Empyrean Kong shi was lost in his strange thoughts, Elder Jiang Li's delighted voice rang out ahead. When Kong shi looked up, he saw that all the elders who had come with them were gone, and Yao Yun and the others had all been tossed into the cauldron to act as nourishment for the pill.
With the full contribution of Life Sea experts' power, the previously incomplete pill was finally complete. Its medicinal fragrance grew richer and more tantalizing.
Turning his gaze, he noticed that Zhang Xuan had also stopped absorbing vitality. Not only did he adopt an innocent, unassuming demeanor, but there was also a look of apprehension and fear in his eyes, as though he was utterly worried and alarmed.
“This guy… really knows how to act!”
Empyrean Kong shi felt helpless.
If he were truly afraid, he wouldn't have been secretly siphoning Heavenly Mandate Vitality from the two of them.
In such a brief span, the Heavenly Mandate Vitality this guy had amassed likely surpassed everything Kong shi had managed to forge from his entire time in Zhilan Valley…
BOOM!
As Yao Yun and the others were completely refined, the cauldron could no longer endure the immense pressure. With a deafening explosion, it burst open, and in the blink of an eye, a round pill shot out emitting dazzling golden light.
“It's a success…”
Elder Jiang Li exclaimed in excitement, reaching out to grab the pill midair. The River of Destiny had already enveloped it, washing it clean three times. The pill finally quieted, shimmering like a luminous golden sun.
“With this pill's success, can we proceed with Nine Pills Combined?”
Prince Yuanqing grew equally elated.
“Yes! However, we still need to conduct preliminary testing of the pill to confirm its potency and medicinal properties. Only with a full grasp of these elements can we ensure success in a single attempt without any mishap!”
Elder Jiang Li explained.
“Very well!”
Prince Yuanqing nodded before turning to Zhang Xuan. “It's your turn now. Conduct the trial properly. Should you succeed, a title of marquis or general will be granted to you at the snap of this prince's fingers!”
“Understood!” Zhang Xuan cupped his hands respectfully.
Elder Jiang Li extended a finger and, as before, sliced a piece of the pill. The fragment floated toward Zhang Xuan, who took it and swallowed it down.
In a flash, thick, potent medicinal power flooded his body, prompting an involuntary moan of satisfaction from him.
If the first eight pills were tools to transform the heart into perfection and eternity, then this pill was the key to unlocking a New World.
The medicinal power surged into his heart and fused seamlessly with the previous eight, turning his heart completely golden. With every beat, it echoed like a great bell, exuding an aura capable of overwhelming all creation.
It felt as though possessing such a heart would render anything easy to accomplish, with no obstacles in the way.
“No, it's still not the Eternal Heart!”
Zhang Xuan's expression grew somber.
He was aware that while the constant trialing had already enhanced his heart's power manyfold, it still fell short of eternity's threshold.
Though unfamiliar with the Eternal Heart, he knew its success would inevitably trigger a celestial phenomenon, astounding the entire Source World.
“What's missing?”
Curiosity consumed him, and his focus turned inward as he inspected his heart once more.
At this moment, his heart resembled a colossal pressure pump. Each beat unleashed an endless torrent of strength, surging throughout his body and subjecting it to relentless refinement.
Every second, he was evolving. That meant possessing such a heart allowed him to progress incessantly, even without meditative cultivation. The Zhang Xuan of the previous second was distinctly different from the Zhang Xuan of the next.
So powerful!
And yet, this was not the Eternal Heart. He shuddered to think how terrifying it would be to reach such a state.
“Well? How many apertures does your heart have now?”
While he was marveling, Elder Jiang Li's curious voice broke his thoughts.
“Apertures?”
Zhang Xuan blinked, inspecting his heart closely. It indeed possessed apertures, resembling the breathing vents of a powerful engine that continually inhaled and exhaled strength.
“In all… seven!”
He counted and answered.
“Seven. It's the Seven Orifice Exquisite Heart! Just as we expected…”
Elder Jiang Li let out a sigh of relief.
“Seven Orifice Exquisite Heart?” Zhang Xuan was puzzled.
“Correct. A normal cultivator's heart usually has three apertures. The Seven Orifice Exquisite Heart is the heart second only to the Eternal Heart. Most can only develop it after surpassing Life Sea 9-dan. However, that's its limit. To go further, the nine pills must be combined into one!”
As he spoke, Elder Jiang Li's eyes grew red with fervor. “To form the true Eternal Golden Pill! Your Highness, all preparations are in place. Let us begin here and now, lest others conceive greed and trouble us further.”
“Very well!”
Prince Yuanqing nodded and flicked his fingers, causing the eight previously refined pills to soar into the air. Alongside the last pill, they began to orbit one another.
“Each of the nine pills has a different medicinal property, and the sequence of their fusion varies accordingly. The timing for merging them also requires precision. I've carefully calculated all of it. Now, I'll pass this knowledge to Your Highness!”
Elder Jiang Li extended a finger, transmitting a stream of intent into Prince Yuanqing's mind.
