"This is the Immortal Spirit Pool," Ye Liuyun said calmly to Bai Nianchen. "The elders and sect masters of the Creation Immortal Palace who passed away in successive generations would shed their Dao Fruits before death and dissolve them in this pool. I obtained the right to use it freely when I was at the Mahayana stage. However, I don't intend to use the power of my predecessors to advance, so it remains pristine."
Bai Nianchen was deeply shocked. It was indeed the foundation of a top sect. This Immortal Spirit Pool, how many immortal or immortal king Dao Fruits were condensed to form it? With this pool, the Creation Immortal Palace could create two Immortal King level powerhouses at any time.
"What do I need to do?"
"You don't need to do anything. You just need to sit in it. All the Dao rhymes in the pool will surge into your body, and you will be forced into a state of enlightenment. With the comprehension of your innate Dao body, if you still can't do it, I suggest you hang yourself from the southeast branch."
Bai Nianchen asked worriedly, "Do you need to ask the Sect Master? This matter is of great importance..."
Ye Liuyun sneered, "What do you think my status is?"
"What? Did you usurp the throne?"
Ye Liuyun's face darkened, and he kicked him. "I am now the most influential person in the Creation Immortal Palace, possessing all the permissions of the Sect Master!"
Bai Nianchen was kicked into the pool. Here, he felt as if he had entered a paradise. Immortal music seemed to play in his ears, and his eyes became dazed. He didn't need to do anything himself. Bai Nianchen sat down cross-legged as if by instinct. Countless Dao rhymes entered his body through every pore, nourishing his every meridian.
Just as he entered the state of enlightenment, the Sect Master of the Creation Immortal Palace appeared behind Ye Liuyun.
"This is a fortuitous encounter prepared for you to advance to Immortal King. Don't you think it's a waste to let him use it?"
Ye Liuyun looked back and bowed to him. "Sect Master..."
"No need for such formality."
Ye Liuyun said calmly, "I've always felt that someone with my talent should go to a vaster world to fight for the human race, just like Emperor Creation. However, he did so when he was in the Divine Transformation stage, and I haven't truly killed a single Sky-Shattering race member yet."
The Sect Master sighed softly and said, "Our world is very safe; you don't need to do that..."
"But I yearn for what they have done because I feel it is more meaningful than what I am doing."
"If you wish, the Great Emperor can take you to broaden your horizons."
Ye Liuyun curled his lips dismissively. The reputation of Emperor Creation alone could make the Sky-Shattering race gasp in fear. Following Emperor Creation would truly be just broadening his horizons, without any pressure to survive or any sense of participation.
"We'll see. Anyway, since he is my junior brother, it's fine to give him these things. After all, no matter where he goes in the future, he is still a disciple of our Creation Immortal Palace, isn't he?"
The two left, leaving Bai Nianchen to bear the blessings of the Immortal Spirit Pool.
...
"Boss Xue, isn't this inappropriate? Why don't you ask Brother Xian or Brother Qingyun to put in a good word for Qingdi and just rob it back..." Qin Xiaoxiao said with shame.
But Xue Qianwei slapped the table abruptly, her face displeased. "Xiaoxiao! Are you looking down on me? I am the ancestor of Blue Star alchemists!"
Qin Xiaoxiao said weakly, "But... this is a cultivation world after all."
"So what if it's a cultivation world? I've figured it out completely; I haven't been wandering around for nothing all these years! Just wait for my good news!"
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled up her sleeves and rushed to the registration area for the Continental New Alchemist Competition with righteous indignation. This alchemist competition was jointly organized by major alchemy magnates. The rewards for the winner included not only being accepted as a disciple by a ninth-grade alchemist but also extremely generous rewards. Countless spirit stones, large amounts of spirit herbs and immortal medicines. Of course, the most important thing was the ninth-grade pill, the Nine Heavens Qian Yuan Pill, belonging to the first place. Ninth-grade pills are born with intelligence, will attract heavenly tribulations, and will even transform into human form. They are born with power not inferior to immortals, so they will resist their creators and do not want to be eaten. However, most ninth-grade pills cannot escape, as alchemists capable of refining ninth-grade pills are at least Immortal Kings. It is said that once this Nine Heavens Qian Yuan Pill is consumed, it can definitely create an immortal. Luo Xiaowei and Qin Xiaoxiao had only come to this world to observe, because Chu Yang had said that great matters like ascending to immortality required them to seek corresponding opportunities in the cultivation world. Naturally, this third cultivation world had become a hot commodity. It just so happened that they ran into this New Alchemist Competition. This competition did not consider age, but it stipulated that participating alchemists could not exceed the sixth grade, so this was tailor-made for Xue Qianwei. Now was the time to test her alchemy skills and contribute to Blue Star!
"Remnant Fragrance Valley, Xue Qianwei? Are you representing Remnant Fragrance Valley?"
"Yes!"
"Alright, hold this token. Come to Cloud Outer Peach Garden in a month..."
...
Cloud Outer Peach Garden is a small world inhabited by Ming Yi, one of the five ninth-grade alchemists in the entire cultivation world. This old man was currently playing chess with Qingdi. He said unhappily, "Why do you want me to take out my Nine Heavens Qian Yuan Pill? I don't lack disciples. If you want to give it to that girl, why not give it to her directly!"
Qingdi chuckled, "You don't know this. Helping people also requires skill. This girl has strong self-esteem, wouldn't it be better to organize a competition so she can win it legitimately!"
"Heh, forgive me for being blunt, but she may not be able to win it."
"Then it's none of my business. I've always adopted a laissez-faire strategy and never give directly. Moreover, she's not my disciple. Giving her this one opportunity is already doing my best."
Ming Yi frowned deeply. He looked at the chessboard in front of him and felt something was wrong. His face immediately darkened. "Lord Qingdi, you can't secretly move the pieces in the next turn, can you?"
Qingdi's eyes widened. "Old Ming, what do you mean? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would cheat? The chessboard was originally like this. You can't cheat just because you're about to lose!"
Ming Yi's mouth twitched slightly. He looked at the shameless Immortal Emperor and sighed deeply. "I admit defeat in this game. Shall we play another round?"
Qingdi said sternly, "This Emperor suddenly remembered that I need to take my little Mengyun to play with the beast uncles. We shall fight again another day..."
