The Heavenly Mechanism Sect was suddenly illuminated by countless sword glows, and everyoneâs longswords began to tremble!
âWhatâs happening? Why is my sword moving on its own, as if itâs about to fly away?â
âThen youâd better hold it down. Fortunately, 1 use a saber.â
Disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect focused their attention, suppressing the anomaly in their longswords while casting uncertain glances around, utterly baffled about how these everywhere-visible sword glows suddenly appeared!
âThis is a manifestation of the Sword Path Rules. Looking at the source, it should be Yun Tianqiong!â Mu Xingzhi stated, sensing carefully. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
All the Elders nodded in agreement. At their level of cultivation, they could sense it very clearly.
Whooshâ¦
Without waiting for the higher-ups to discuss further, countless disciples witnessed their longswords, drawn by some force, uncontrollably soaring into the sky, following the sword glows, all heading towards the Eighteenth Peak!
In an instant, the sky was overrun with countless longswords, like a floodgate released, converging upon the Eighteenth Peak!
Yun Tianqiongâs eyes were half-closed, his Golden Core had shattered, but the Sword Intent around him erupted without any sign of complete loss of cultivation.
The flood of longswords and sword glows, with Yun Tianqiong at its center, swirled around him in flight.
And those sword glows directly surged into Yun Tianqiongâs body!
Li Cheng could clearly sense that Yun Tianqiongâs originally empty Dantian was now forming a longsword with the help of those sword glows!
Before long, a palm-sized colored small sword was already hovering in his Dantian!
âNascent Sword!â
Li Cheng was somewhat shocked, this guy, whose Golden Core was clearly destroyed, had instead seized the opportunity to shatter his Core and form the Nascent Soul, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage!
What was even more astonishing was that the Nascent Soul he condensed was not an ordinary one, but a Nascent Sword that contained a large amount of Sword Path Rules and special powers!
Li Cheng could also sense that Yun Tianqiongâs body was changing under the baptism of those sword glows and the Tribulation Thunder!
âChaos Yuan Sword Body!â
What was once an ordinary Sword Body had now become a Chaos Yuan Sword Body!
Without a doubt, his Nascent Sword was a Chaos Yuan Nascent Sword!
This success undoubtedly owed much to the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture and even more to Yun Tianqiongâs firm will.
For such a disciple, Li Cheng was somewhat at a loss for words and continued to refine the Tribulation Thunder into his body.
As for the Pill Tribulation, it was nearing its end, with the remnants of the annihilated Rising Yuan Pillsâ powers being absorbed by other Rising Yuan Pills. The air above the Eighteenth Peak was filled with the scent of pills and enveloped in colorful lights, signaling the birth of over six hundred Emperor Grade third-level Rising Yuan Pills.
The third-level Rising Yuan Pills refined from these 110,000 portions of materials initially numbered around one million three to four hundred thousand. After surviving the tribulation, over six hundred thousand supreme quality ones remained!
Less than half!
But six hundred and twelve Emperor Grade and over twenty-four thousand King Grade pills â their value far exceeded those six hundred thousand supreme quality ones.
These pills floated in the air, their scent and colorful radiance finally drawing everyoneâs gaze.
The Seventh Elderâs body trembled, his excitement beyond words, âThis furnace⦠I⦠My heavens!â
He was so excited that he couldnât even utter a complete sentence.
The other higher-ups were equally thrilled. Not to mention anything else, their investments could earn back hundreds of times the amount with just this furnace!
And to think, the higher-level Rising Yuan Pills hadnât even started to be refined yet!
âSeventeenth Elder, your profit calculation might be off, right? Now that the pills are out, calculate it again!â the First Elder looked towards the Seventeenth Elder, not in jest, but rather eager to clarify the exact multiples of their profit.
The Seventeenth Elder pondered for a long time before saying, âAccording to the market price of third-level Rising Yuan Pills, those of supreme quality alone have brought us nearly three hundred times profit, and itâs impossible to estimate the value of King Grade and Emperor Grade as theyâve always been priceless.â
âHehe, wasnât it supposed to be a hundred and sixty-eight times? Letâs see you claim the title of arithmetic champion now.â An Elder teased.
The Seventeenth Elder rolled his eyes, âI quoted a lower multiplier to lower everyoneâs psychological expectations, and now that the profits far exceed everyoneâs expectations, arenât you all very happy? 1 was considering everyoneâs feelings!â
Contemptuous glances shifted towards the Seventeenth Elder, saying everything without words.
Mu Xingzhiâs smile hadnât ceased, but now he stifled it, speaking seriously, âThe junior uncle has spoken, take half the pills to exchange for materials, so the sect can only provide a hundredfold return to everyone!â
Only a hundredfold?
Everyone was momentarily stunned â such a return on investment, compared to the pills crafted by the junior uncle, was virtually a drop in the ocean!
Seeing the crowdâs expression turning sour, the Seventh Elder hastily said, âHow can the Sect Master speak so casually?â
The First Elder nodded too, âIndeed, Sect Master, thatâs a hundredfold profit weâre talking about, and you say âonlyâ?â
âExactly, a hundredfold is quite satisfying for us!â
âThatâs right, thatâs right, with such high profits, how can you describe it with the word âonlyâ?â
Seeing that all the high-ranking officials were in agreement, Mu Xingzhiâs eyes flickered with surprise, and then he nodded slightly, very good, everyone was not blinded by profit!
After a while, Li Cheng refined the Tribulation Thunder, casually waved his hand, and collected the myriad Rising Yuan Pills into the Storage Ring, before shifting his gaze to Ling Xi.
Ling Xi was sitting cross-legged in the air, perceiving the thirty-five Laws of Life enveloping her.
With the aid of these Laws, hundreds of Rule Powers were already evolving around Ling Xi!
Rules followed Laws, and each Law could evolve countless personalized Rules for different individuals. By the looks of Ling Xiâs progress, she might glean tens of thousands of Rules from these thirty-five Laws!
Thus, Li Cheng did not disturb Ling Xi, but casually set up a Formation to cover the area where she was, to prevent any disturbance.
âLetâs disperse for now, weâll continue with alchemy after my disciples awaken, which I estimate will take several days.â Li Cheng communicated to the high-ranking officials through a transmission.
Having benefited greatly from the refinement of the Tribulation Thunder, Li Cheng planned to spend a few days consolidating his gains.
At this moment, his physical strength had nearly reached the level of an Immortal Artifact, but his body still only possessed traces of Immortal Yuan. Therefore, Li Cheng intended to spend some time refining Immortal Stones or Immortal Infants to convert as much True Yuan into Immortal Yuan as possible; only then could he advance the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture to its tenth layer.
Eighteenth Peak returned to tranquility, with all three disciples busy consolidating their recent gains. After checking their condition, Li Cheng headed to the mountain peak, reassured.
He believed that when his three disciples woke up, he would have accrued numerous counts of Enlightenment.
At the summit, Li Cheng had initially planned to first perceive the Rules of the Sword Dao and Fist Path, but now he had changed his mind, he would first convert Immortal Yuan!
With his current physical strength, he could completely withstand the influx of Immortal Qi into his body. Thus, Li Cheng took out a pile of Immortal Stones and began to absorb and refine them using the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture.
âMaster, why donât you use the Immortal Infant? Thatâs the really good stuff!â the voice of the Purple Void Jade Emperorâs Tripod sounded.
In these days, the Purple Void Jade Emperorâs Tripod could speak smoothly, a remarkable development.
Li Cheng shook his head, âImmortal Infants contain Immortal Yuan that is extremely pure and vast. With my current capabilities, itâs too strenuous to refine, so Iâll start with the Immortal Stones.â
âMaster, let me lend you a hand!â
As the Purple Void Jade Emperorâs Tripod spoke, a torrent of Immortal Yuan suddenly erupted from within, rushing towards Li Cheng.
âOh? Is this the Immortal Yuan youâve refined from the Immortal Infants?â Li Chengâs eyes lit up; the Immortal Yuan emitted from the tripod was even purer than that from the Immortal Infants. With minimal refining, it could become his own Immortal Yuan.
This was much more convenient and faster than refining the Immortal Infants or Immortal Stones!
âYes, Master, my interior contains a Spirit Lock Array, which can hold a certain amount of Immortal Yuan. The Immortal Yuan from an Immortal Infant is too potent, I couldnât refine it in a short time, so I stored it,â the tripod explained.
Li Chengâs eyes sparkled, âVery good, very good.. I think itâs time to further modify you!â
