The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2512: Destruction Before Rebirth

Jing Yan had already exerted great effort to deduce what he believed to be the most likely method for successful refinement.

However… even so, the final result was still going to be a failure.

“Did the Qianhe Zhenye Elixir really exist in history? Did any Pill Master ever refine it?” Jing Yan couldn’t help but doubt whether the Qianhe Zhenye truly existed.

Perhaps, the Qianhe Zhenye Pill Formula was never complete. It might be that a Pill Master once attempted to create this special Divine Pill, but ultimately failed. Later generations who acquired the incomplete pill recipe assumed this elixir existed.

Time passed bit by bit.

“Alas!” Jing Yan sighed deeply, withdrawing his Divine Power.

There was no need to open the Pill Furnace, as he already knew that the elixir inside was disintegrating and dissipating.

“It shouldn’t be! The Qianhe Zhenye couldn’t have never appeared. Ancient classics that recorded this pill aren’t isolated examples. If it never existed, there couldn’t be many ancient classics documenting it.”

“Hmm, there must still be some deviation somewhere.” Jing Yan collected his mind.

He looked at the Pill Furnace in front of him, his Divine Power and Divine Thought permeating once more.

Inside, a red elixir was quickly disintegrating. Moments later, the elixir completely disappeared.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Jing Yan felt a slight stir in his mind.

Although the elixir had disappeared, its potency within the Pill Furnace had not yet merged into the vast world outside.

Jing Yan’s body moved slightly.

“Why not give it a try?” Jing Yan gritted his teeth.

Surging Divine Power and Divine Soul Power poured into the Pill Furnace. Under Jing Yan’s control, the potency of the elixir, about to merge into the world, slowed its pace of disappearance significantly.

“Gather!” Jing Yan uttered in a low voice.

The potency of the Qianhe Zhenye elixir gathered visibly. With Jing Yan’s overwhelming Divine Power and Divine Soul Power, even the dispersing potency of the elixir couldn’t escape Jing Yan’s seal in a short time. Under the gathering of Divine Power and Divine Soul Power, the potency of the elixir re-convened into a small cluster.

However, the re-convened Qianhe Zhenye was still unstable. If Jing Yan withdrew his forces, the potency of the elixir would quickly dissipate again. Moreover, maintaining such an action was quite consuming for Jing Yan. While Divine Power was manageable, the consumption of Divine Soul Power was something even Jing Yan could barely bear.

“Go for broke!”

Under Jing Yan’s control, the door of the Pill Furnace slowly opened, and Jing Yan inserted a Netherworld Crystal Stone. With Jing Yan’s Divine Power urging it, the power within the Netherworld Crystal Stone erupted, merging into the gathered Qianhe Zhenye.

Suddenly, thin lines appeared on the surface of the gathered Qianhe Zhenye. These countless thin lines were like cords, binding the layers of the elixir’s potency tightly.

“It’s working! It’s working!” Upon sensing this change, Jing Yan felt a shock in his heart and accelerated the catalysis of the Netherworld Crystal Stone’s power.

Several breaths later.

“It seems to have been achieved! It seems to have succeeded!” Jing Yan’s Divine Thought observed the Qianhe Zhenye inside the Pill Furnace.

At this time, the whole of Qianhe Zhenye remained red, but amidst the red surface, some golden lines faintly appeared. Jing Yan gradually retracted his Divine Power and Divine Soul Power, and the Qianhe Zhenye did not lose its potency.

Under a trace of guidance from Jing Yan’s Divine Power, the Qianhe Zhenye slowly floated out of the Pill Furnace. Jing Yan was inevitably nervous, eyes wide, watching this elixir that flew out. Normally, even if an elixir appeared stable inside the Pill Furnace upon its creation, it could very possibly disintegrate upon leaving. Therefore, Jing Yan was still somewhat nervous at this moment.

The Qianhe Zhenye flew out of the Pill Furnace, and only after a breath did Jing Yan fully relax. This Qianhe Zhenye did not disintegrate or vanish; it had truly been successfully refined.

“Haha…” Jing Yan laughed heartily.

The successful refinement of Qianhe Zhenye was of extraordinary significance.

“So this is it! The refinement method of Qianhe Zhenye is indeed different from other elixirs. It requires destruction before creation, and it also needs a resource like a Netherworld Crystal Stone for stabilization. Tsk tsk, crafting this elixir is really costly. If it were to be sold, the value of a single elixir would probably be comparable to a piece of Divine Soul Item.” Jing Yan squinted as he examined the Qianhe Zhenye.

A piece of Divine Soul Item easily costs thousands of billions of Black Crystal Stones. In other words, a single Qianhe Zhenye might be worth thousands of billions of Black Crystal Stones.

Subsequently, Jing Yan stored this Qianhe Zhenye in a Jade Bottle. Then, he removed the remaining Netherworld Crystal Stone from the Pill Furnace. The Netherworld Crystal Stone Jing Yan used was a high-level Netherworld Crystal Stone, and about one-tenth of its energy was used to stabilize the elixir just now. This means that one high-level Netherworld Crystal Stone could approximately refine ten furnaces of Qianhe Zhenye elixir.

The Qianhe Zhenye is a special Divine Pill that can only produce one formed pill per furnace, unlike most other elixirs, which can form up to four pills per furnace.

“In the upcoming period, I can refine more Qianhe Zhenye. When the time is right, I’ll promote it through Hongmeng Pill Tower. By then, hehe… those major powers will be knocking at the door seeking the pill!” Jing Yan’s eyes were full of mirth.

This Qianhe Zhenye is no ordinary item; even top-tier Immortal Venerables at their peak realm wouldn’t disdain having a higher Divine Soul Body purity. After all, the higher the purity of a Divine Soul Body, the greater the potential and hope of stepping into the Immortal Emperor level.

The most important trait of Qianhe Zhenye is its gentleness. Cultivators using Qianhe Zhenye to enhance their Divine Soul Body purity don’t have to worry about their Divine Soul Body being unable to withstand its potency and getting damaged. Jing Yan now knows that while strong practitioners at the Immortal Emperor level have methods to boost a cultivator’s Divine Soul Body purity, they are extremely dangerous, and the success rate is very low. Just like in the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone of Jing Yan’s home world, the Thunder Emperor’s trial space does purify a cultivator’s Divine Soul Body. The issue is that few can endure it. If one can’t withstand it, their Divine Soul and body will be completely annihilated.

Thus, even Immortal Venerable peak cultivators, even if they could find an Immortal Emperor to enhance their Divine Soul Body purity, few would dare attempt it. Besides, it also costs Immortal Emperors to purify others’ Divine Soul Bodies.

“When the time comes to launch the Qianhe Zhenye, its flow must also be strictly controlled, so my enemies or the enemies of the Thunder Domain don’t get it.” Jing Yan mused silently.

…

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Currently, the scale of Hongmeng City has become extremely massive. The land area of its continuous buildings is almost comparable to the largest city of the Thunder Domain, Dingyun City.

During these hundred years, many forces have already shown goodwill towards Hongmeng City. The main reason is to gain the VIP qualification of Hongmeng City, and thus be able to use the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower.
