The five-colored light on Yunhua's body shone brightly, and after Yunhua was separated, it transformed into five avatars that looked like Yunhua and represented the five elements.
Yunhua and each of his avatars arrived in front of the pills that were encased in a restriction.
As the Five Elements Avatar used its body as an array, it directly covered all the pills in an area. With a booming sound, dozens of restrictions were blasted open by the power of the Five Elements.
Yunhua transformed into a stream of light, storing dozens of bottles of pills and more than a dozen pill formulas into her storage bracelet. Before she could even look at them, she was teleported to an illusionary realm.
This is the third level, 'Exquisite Illusion,' but unfortunately, it has no effect on Yunhua, who has overcome the tribulation of her inner demons.
This time at Miaodan Pavilion, Yunhua obtained more than twenty bottles of Nascent Soul stage pills, more than ten bottles of Deity Transformation stage pills, as well as eight or nine Nascent Soul stage pill formulas and five Deity Transformation stage pill formulas.
This is enough for Xin Ruyin's cultivation after Yunhua leaves.
Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Void Heaven Cauldron
After passing through the teleportation point of the wondrous illusion, Yunhua arrived at the inner hall of the Void Heaven Palace.
There were still seven or eight Nascent Soul stage cultivators left, sitting cross-legged in front of a tall tower.
This tower is soaring into the clouds, enormous in size, and entirely constructed of massive blue stones.
From a distance, the tower appears to be divided into five levels, becoming thinner as you go up, but the distance between each level is an astonishing distance of at least a hundred feet.
The blue stone gate at the very bottom is fifty or sixty feet high, which is truly magnificent!
The tower was enveloped in a pale white light. The crowd in front of the tower, resembling ants, closed their eyes and meditated before the light.
With a violent tremor, the massive stone door of the inner hall slowly rose, revealing a blue stone passage leading inside.
The teleportation array, which was still in operation, gradually went out.
"Fellow Daoists, have you come here for the Void Heaven Cauldron?" Qingyi Jushi asked.
"Hmph! I've come only for the Heaven-Mending Pill. Anyone who dares to stop me will pay the price." The barbarian bearded man had little life left and only wanted to obtain the Heaven-Mending Pill to prolong his life.
"Heh, everyone wants the Heaven-Mending Pill, but the virtuous should have it," Wan Tianming said calmly with a mocking tone.
"Fellow Daoists, let's not lose our harmony. You may take turns using your methods. Whether we can obtain the Heaven-Mending Pill depends entirely on your abilities. What do you say?" Tian Wuzi stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"What a joke! Whoever gets the Heaven-Mending Pill first will be targeted and fought over by everyone," the old farmer-looking cultivator mocked.
"I have no interest in the Heaven-Mending Pill. I'll be leaving now. You can discuss it yourselves." Yunhua stood up and walked towards the back hall.
Yunhua knew that these people could not obtain the Void Heaven Cauldron, so he was relatively relaxed, but the two elders of the Star Palace were hiding in the shadows.
Having seized control of the teleportation system within the Void Heaven Palace, he planned to deal with the two of them first.
Fortunately, Yunhua had already planted a seed of protection in the front hall. Yunhua flew quickly toward the two people hiding in a palace.
When Yunhua concealed herself and came behind the two, she found them discussing something.
"Once they are both severely injured, we will teleport them out. We absolutely cannot let them obtain the Void Heaven Cauldron."
"I wonder where that kid has disappeared to. He's really cunning."
'Pfft'
With a single move, Yunhua pulled out the nascent soul of a Star Palace elder, and his sword of primordial spirit directly annihilated the soul, leaving only the nascent soul's shell, which he then threw into the Devouring Heaven Jar.
"Who are you? How dare you kill someone from my Star Palace? In the Chaotic Star Sea, you will be hunted down and killed by my Star Palace."
"Idiot, die!" Yun Hua transformed into a streak of light, thrusting his Eight Desolate Fire Dragon Spear forward.
Elder Xinggong took out his flying sword, trying to stop Yunhua, but Yunhua completely ignored the flying sword that was aimed at him.
When the flying sword approached, it was blocked by the Five Elements Magnetic Divine Light on Yun Hua's body. A moment later, Elder Xinggong directly lost control of the flying sword.
With a look of helplessness on his face, he lost his last chance to resist, and his defensive robes only provided slight resistance for a moment.
He was immediately pierced by a spear. Seeing that the Star Palace Elder's nascent soul was still trying to escape, he was absorbed by the Devouring Heaven Jar and let out a helpless scream.
Yunhua took out the control core of the Void Heaven Cauldron's teleportation array, which was a token. After refining it, Yunhua felt that he had control over the Void Heaven Cauldron's teleportation permissions.
Skillfully licking the corpse and destroying all evidence, Yunhua slowly made her way towards the inner hall.
Yunhua, having concealed his presence, arrived in front of the tower and saw a Nascent Soul flying towards him.
Yunhua held the nascent soul in her hand. It turned out to be the nascent soul of the barbarian bearded man. Because he was the strongest, he was the first to die as everyone focused their attacks on him.
"Spare me!" Yunhua didn't wait for the barbarian to finish speaking before severing his soul and then began searching for his soul.
Fortunately, Yunhua learned about the Heaven-Supporting Demon Art from the memories of the barbarian bearded man, and refined his nascent soul in the Heaven-Devouring Jar. Yunhua then sneaked into the tower.
Seeing the puppet remains and traces of battle along the way, Yunhua slowly arrived at the fourth floor and heard the sounds of fighting coming from the fifth floor.
It turns out that after the barbarian was besieged and killed, the second person to suffer was Wan Tianming. They hadn't made a move at first, but after they joined forces to overturn the Void Heaven Cauldron.
The two Heaven-Mending Pills that fell out were snatched away by the mutated fire python controlled by the barbarian. The barbarian was already nearing the end of his lifespan, and without the Heaven-Mending Pills, he might never have another chance to find something to prolong his life.
Naturally, he intended to keep the Heaven-Mending Pill for himself, and when faced with the public's condemnation, he retorted with unreasonable sarcasm.
When surrounded, he was fearless and fought bravely. After he was injured, he was ambushed by Qingyi Jushi, who seemed to be neutral and taking it easy.
Severely injured, he had no choice but to escape with his nascent soul, ultimately benefiting Yunhua.
Knowing that they could no longer obtain more Heaven-Mending Pills, the remaining three decided to first surround and kill the strongest, Wan Tianming.
Although Wan Tianming was strong, he was no match for the three of them and died instantly.
Thus, Yunhua witnessed a chaotic battle between the three.
Of the three, Tian Wuzi belongs to the righteous path, Qingyi Jushi belongs to the demonic path, and the old farmer is a rogue cultivator.
The three appeared to be engaged in a chaotic battle, but in reality, they were secretly communicating with each other through telepathy, planning to join forces and eliminate one of them first.
A moment later, Tian Wuzi and Qingyi Jushi attacked the old farmer simultaneously in perfect unison. As expected, the old farmer was quickly overwhelmed and killed.
Just as Qingyi Jushi crushed the old farmer's nascent soul, Tian Wuzi immediately attacked Qingyi Jushi. Qingyi Jushi also reacted immediately, summoning his magic weapon and flying away.
Unfortunately, he was out of luck and happened to be right in front of Yunhua. Just as Qingyi Jushi was launching a counterattack against Tianwuzi, Yunhua turned around and attacked again.
The series of actions—annihilating the soul and extracting the nascent soul—completely stunned Tian Wuzi.
"Damn it, a junior actually outmaneuvered us!" Tian Wuzi said through gritted teeth.
"Have you finished your last words? Then let's go!" Yunhua deflected the flying magic weapon, which transformed into a streak of light as his spear pierced towards Tianwuzi.
Tian Wuzi summoned the tortoise shell, intending to block Yun Hua's attack. Yun Hua swept the shell with his Five Elements Magnetic Divine Light, causing it to instantly lose control and ignore the myriad spells unleashed by Tian Wuzi.
Yunhua passed through the range of a spell that could severely injure a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the Primordial Spirit Sword first pierced Tian Wuzi's body, just as Tian Wuzi was clearing away the Primordial Spirit Sword.
Yunhua's spear swept Tianwuzi's head into a cloud of blood mist, and he reached out and pulled out Tianwuzi's nascent soul.
"Spare me! I'm willing to acknowledge you as my master," the Nascent Soul pleaded.
Unfortunately, Yunhua remained unmoved, annihilating his soul once again and cleaning up the battlefield.
"Heaven-Mending Pills, unfortunately they're useless to me." Yunhua looked at the two Heaven-Mending Pills, not particularly concerned.
Upon arriving at the large cave where the Void Heaven Cauldron was stored, Yu Hua summoned the Blood Jade Spider.
As the spider silk slowly lifted the Void Heaven Cauldron out, Yun Hua sat cross-legged to the side, collecting a wisp of Azure Ice Flame and carefully comprehending the Daoist essence within it.
Yunhua intends to master it into a supernatural power.
Yunhua stored the Void Heaven Cauldron in her storage bracelet, then placed eight or nine Heaven-Mending Pills into a jade bottle, and played with the jade ruyi containing the spirit of the Silver Moon artifact.
These were all intended for Xin Ruyin; for Yunhua, they were less valuable than a supernatural ability.
Yunhua used the Void Heaven Cauldron to collect a large amount of Azure Ice Flame, intending to return to Xiaohuan Island to further study the Azure Ice Flame's divine power.
Refining the Azure Ice Flame might be much faster, but that would only allow for its use without understanding its underlying principles. What Yunhua wants is the underlying laws.
After searching the surroundings, his gaze fell upon a piece of blue stone wall carved with a blood-red, strange-looking winged monster.
Yunhua, who was familiar with the plot, remembered that there was a map of the Void Heaven Palace inside this blue stone, and the hidden route in it led to a secret chamber with a Spirit Eye Spring.
Yunhua left this place and took a detour to a high wall.
After breaking through the high wall, a damaged teleportation array was revealed.
After Yunhua placed the spirit stone, the teleportation array flashed.
The next moment, on the second floor of the inner hall, in a secret room, a spiritual eye appeared before Yunhua.
"Ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk..."
Although there was only half a pool of the millennia-old spiritual milk before him, Yunhua would not give up. He didn't touch the Spirit Eye Spring, as it involved the restrictions of the Void Heaven Palace.
Although Yunhua was also interested in the Void Heaven Palace, given the current time constraints and the fact that Fairy Ice Soul was still alive, Yunhua did not want to be too conspicuous.
Chapter Forty: Farewell
After taking the Soul-Nourishing Wood, Yunhua used his teleportation authority to teleport himself to the Inner Sea, directly avoiding the Six Paths Supreme Saints and the Star Palace members who were lying in ambush outside.
Yunhua rushed back to Xiaohuan Island. He sensed that the Heavenly Dao was rejecting him, and Yunhua knew that he had no choice but to leave.
Upon entering the grand formation of Xiaohuan Island, they were spotted by Xin Ruyin, who was waiting there.
"Husband, did it go well?" Xin Ruyin came to Yunhua's side and carefully examined him to see if he was injured.
"Everything went very smoothly. All your goals have been achieved. You will now have the resources for both the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stages."
Yunhua picked up Xin Ruyin and flew to the cave. After not seeing her for a long time, Yunhua missed her.
"My husband, tell me about the experience with the Void Heaven Cauldron," Xin Ruyin said, blushing as she tried to distract herself.
"No rush, let's do it and talk about it."
Second day
Yunhua told Xinruyin everything that had happened along the way, including some secrets.
The Heaven-Mending Pill was given to Xin Ruyin for refining, while Yunhua went out of the room and planted the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng and the Soul-Nourishing Wood. Under the effect of the Heaven-Palm Bottle, they quickly took root and sprouted, growing in age.
Back in his secluded cultivation room, Yunhua took out the Void Heaven Cauldron and slowly began to comprehend the Azure Ice Flame within it.
A year later, Yunhua fully comprehended the Qianlan Ice Flame and, combining it with the flame fusion method, successfully combined the Qianlan Ice Flame with the Eight Desolate Dragon Flame.
The Azure Ice Flame is extremely yin and cold, while the Eight Desolate Dragon Fire is extremely yang and holy. The two are fused together to create an extremely unstable red and blue flame with immense power.
Named the Primordial Dao Fire by Yunhua, it is unstable, but its structure will become more stable as more different fires are refined.
In the following years, Yunhua accompanied Xin Ruyin in refining pills, which were all for use by those in the Nascent Soul stage, thanks to the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.
Adding a little bit of Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng Liquid immediately improves the quality of the pills by an order of magnitude, making it a truly versatile remedy.
With the Heavenly Bottle in place, Yunhua cultivated many thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, which formed the foundation of Xin Ruyin's path.
Yunhua handed over all her magical treasures, pills, spirit stones, and miscellaneous items to Xin Ruyin. Even after Yunhua left, she still possessed formidable combat power.
Even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't defeat Xin Ruyin, who possessed the Fang of Armor. Even so, Yun Hua still managed to refine the Nascent Soul cultivator's body obtained from the Void Heaven Cauldron into the Heavenly Capital Corpse.
One of them is in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and three are in the early stage, which is enough for Xin Ruyin's early-stage needs.
Yunhua lived her carefree life, but the Chaotic Star Sea was in utter chaos. The Reverse Star Alliance continued to oppose the Star Palace, attacking islands every now and then.
The demon race is also acting unruly; the two Heavenly Saints have not shown themselves for a long time, making the situation increasingly serious.
However, none of this mattered to Yunhua. After hundreds of years of continuous comprehension, Yunhua finally grasped a trace of the laws of the Heavenly Bottle, the Law of Life.
Yunhua's healing abilities have been dramatically enhanced.
With abundant resources and Yunhua's guidance, Xin Ruyin broke through to the late stage of Core Formation, while Xiaomei and Yuan Yaoyanli also broke through to the mid stage of Core Formation.
Knowing that there would be war in the Chaotic Star Sea, Yunhua upgraded the great formation of Xiaohuan Island, from the original formation that was only able to defend against Nascent Soul cultivators to the level that could contend against Deity Transformation cultivators.
Xin Ruyin has emerged from seclusion. Having refined all the Heaven-Mending Pills, and with the original effect of the cultivation technique in enhancing aptitude, Xin Ruyin can now be said to have surpassed Yuan Yao and Zi Ling, who possess special constitutions.
Speaking of Zi Ling, Yun Hua took the time to give her the complete Xuan Yin Scripture, and she had already formed her core not long ago. As for Han Li, Yun Hua only gave him almost all the medicinal herb seeds, including Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, Thunder Bamboo, and Soul Nourishing Wood.
In response to Yunhua's gesture of goodwill, the two expressed their intention to take care of Xinruyin in the future, although they were somewhat puzzled by Yunhua's behavior, as if she were about to die.
In the following years, Yunhua learned that only by perfecting the Five Elements Spiritual Roots could one break through to the Nascent Soul stage, so he combined many methods for creating a second Nascent Soul.
Yunhua created the Five Elements Nascent Soul Technique, a method specifically designed to replenish spiritual roots. Utilizing the principle of the mutual generation and transformation of the five elements, it allows one to directly replenish missing spiritual roots by refining corresponding five-element spiritual materials.
Xin Ruyin was deeply moved by Yunhua's thoughtfulness and naturally unlocked many new poses.
In fact, the greatest gain from each journey through the world is not only the various opportunities, but also the unique principles of each world.
With Yunhua's current cultivation level, he can already perceive the differences between various worlds. Each world has its own unique characteristics, and these characteristics are Yunhua's best resources.
The Heaven-Covering Technique uses the body as its seed, meaning the human body emulates heaven and earth. If the world is incomplete or imperfect, cultivators may inevitably stray onto a less-than-correct path.
