Chapter 432: Chapter 67: Eternal Heart
“Zhang Xuanqing…”
No one expected him to strike suddenly without a hint of hesitation. Empyrean Kong shi's pupils constricted, and just as he was about to charge forward, he felt his body stiffen involuntarily. Elder Jiang Li had already locked the space around him, sealing him in mid-air.
“You, you… why?”
Zhang Xuan spat out blood continuously, his eyes filled with unwillingness and disbelief, seemingly never expecting this scene to unfold.
“Why? The so-called drug trial was merely to find a heart that could endure the medicine power of a Peerless Elixir. Did you really think I would let you, a mere Galaxy Realm kid, randomly consume the precious medicines I've gathered over so many years?”
Prince Yuanqing's eyes held an amused smile as he looked at the young man before him, as if looking at an ant he could casually crush.
“Endure the medicine power?” Zhang Xuan was puzzled.
“Considering you contributed your heart to me, telling you isn't a problem!”
As the victor, Prince Yuanqing relished this feeling of assured triumph, looking over indifferently, “To forge an Eternal Heart, even with a Peerless Elixir, requires a suitable constitution. As the heir of the Tianli Empire, I was born with immense fortune. Trying to condense such an eternal capability is nearly impossible… so, I thought of another method, which is… a heart transplant!”
Being the Crown Prince, he was born enjoying numerous auras. If he could also have long life, indestructibility, it would mean all the world's benefits fell to him alone. Even if many people disagreed, even the way of heaven wouldn't approve.
Therefore, the royalty, no matter how strong their talent or abundant their resources, could not condense an Eternal Heart, unable to enjoy the normal longevity like other cultivators.
Prince Yuanqing knew this from the moment he began his cultivation practice and chose a different path; since his heart could not become an Eternal Heart, why not replace it?
Reaching his cultivation realm, not only was changing a heart possible without dying, but even replacing all his meridians would be fine.
Thus, twenty years ago, he found the world's first apothecary, and began preparing this Peerless Divine Pill.
The pill can assist in transforming into an Eternal Heart, but it requires being able to endure it first. Hence, using drug trials as an excuse, he searched everywhere, until he found this genius in recent days who could withstand the medicine power without dying.
Everything that followed, Zhang Xuan knew nothing about. He was used in every pill forging to test, and his heart indeed endured, growing increasingly stronger.
The secret involved in this matter was too significant, the fewer who knew, the better… So, as soon as Bian Zhongwen found people, they died, and even high-status Elders like Yao Yun and Yao Chen became nourishment for the medicine, turning to ashes.
“It's your fortune that I can use your heart!”
Seeing he understood, Prince Yuanqing snorted lightly. His expression was neither sorrowful nor joyful, as if doing this was only natural.
Knowing the current situation left Zhang Xuan without any recourse, despite his eyes being full of resentment, he had no way out. Trembling, he looked up to see the space around being sealed by the prince's jade seal, making it impossible for others, even the way of heaven, to peek in.
Heart replacement, thereby condensing the Eternal Aureate Body, such a defiance of the way of heaven naturally required deceit first. Once successful, even if discovered, nothing could be done about it.
“You… won't die a good death!”
Zhang Xuan shouted weakly, his body gradually tensing, and he closed his eyes heavily.
Having lost his heart, it was already unexpected for him to survive this long given his strength.
“Hmph!”
Disinclined to pay any heed to Zhang Xuan, who had closed his eyes, Prince Yuanqing's eyes fell on the heart in front of him.
Even without a corpse, the seven orifices continued to absorb Origin qi, beating slowly and powerfully.
The heart reaching seven orifices, despite being far from eternal, still teemed with vitality, and wouldn't perish even with mere short Detachments of a few minutes or even years.
“The Seven Orifice Exquisite Heart is very good, but only reaching nine orifices is worthy of eternity!”
Prince Yuanqing smiled gently, touching the Peerless Divine Pill in his palm, gently stroking it.
Buzz!
Understanding his intention, the pill flew directly towards Zhang Xuan's heart, burrowing inside.
Boom!
Nourished by the pill, the Seven Orifice Exquisite Heart transformed dramatically as if a Transformer had acquired an energy cube, evolving from seven orifices to eight in the blink of an eye, and continued its slow transformation.
Nine is the number of extremes; a heart with nine orifices is truly an Eternal Heart!
Although eight orifices were slightly lacking, it was already on the right path, and with the passage of time, success was inevitable!
“Great!”
Even as calm as Prince Yuanqing was, he couldn't help feeling somewhat uncontrollably excited at this moment.
The achievement of an Eternal Heart, even his father, Emperor Fusheng, or peerless masters like Buddha, had never accomplished. Yet now, it was in his grasp.
“Every pill you consumed contained my blood essence. With the heart activated through this medicine power, it has already acquired my strength, indistinguishable from mine!”
Prince Yuanqing touched his hand upon the heart, indeed feeling a rich familiarity, as if it hadn't been taken from someone else, but from within his own body.
Having chosen a heart transplant, naturally, preparations needed to be made in advance; otherwise, any rejection from the heart would render all prior efforts null. Now it seemed, every preparation was flawless, every progression perfect.
“Your Highness, be quick. The recent lightning tribulation was too loud; I fear something may happen!”
Seeing him motionless, Elder Jiang Li couldn't help but clasp his fists.
“Hmm!” Prince Yuanqing nodded, raising his hand and stabbing fiercely into his own chest.
Thunk!
His heart, like Zhang Xuan's earlier, was forcibly ripped out.
This heart seemed strong too, with each beat like a drum, but it hadn't even reached the Seven Orifice Realm, let alone the Nine Orifices of an Eternal Heart.
“Accompanied me for so many years, and truly a bit reluctant to part…”
Prince Yuanqing smiled gently, placing his own heart aside, casually picking Zhang Xuan's heart and inserting it into his chest.
Thump thump thump thump!
The nine-orifice Eternal Heart began to beat violently once inside, as if inhaling and exhaling the entire universe.
“Something's wrong…”
Feeling the surge of vitality the heart brought, Prince Yuanqing was just about to savor the exhilaration of his growing cultivation when his brow suddenly furrowed.
“What is it?”
Noticing something was amiss, Elder Jiang Li couldn't help but look.
This was a pill concocted with decades of painstaking effort; naturally, he wanted to know the result.
“This heart seems somewhat rejecting me…”
Prince Yuanqing shook his head: “But it's fine, probably just that guy's intent causing trouble, it can be eradicated!”
Powerful soul energy poured into the heart.
“What's this?”
Suddenly, he stopped, as a nine-story small tower quietly hovered in the deepest part of the heart.
