Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

The crowd's eyes were filled with fervor.

At his peak, Yao Chen was an eighth-grade alchemist, and the pills he refined could withstand nine-colored pill lightning, which was the pinnacle of an eighth-grade alchemist.

If he goes a step further, he can refine ninth-grade pills. However, those pills have already become spiritual, and if one does not have the strength of a Battle Saint, even if one refines them, one will not be able to subdue them.

Therefore, with the Dou Sheng in hiding, Yao Chen is undoubtedly the number one alchemist on the continent.

His statement that the owner of the tomb was no less than himself, even if it contained an element of modesty, was enough to show that the other party was an eighth-grade alchemist.

How many treasures could be hidden in the tomb of an eighth-grade alchemist that has never been developed?

Among the crowd, only Zi Yan, who didn't know the old alchemist's identity, seemed unfazed. She asked in a loud voice, "Handsome uncle, you haven't even gone inside yet, how do you know that the owner of this tomb is an alchemist?"

This is a question that everyone is also very curious about.

"Because the layout of this tomb can only be arranged by an alchemist, and it must be an eighth-grade alchemist." Yao Chen's eyes gleamed with admiration.

"Unless one's soul realm reaches the Heavenly Realm, one cannot see the special features of this tomb. It is structured using the surrounding earth veins, mountains, and rivers, and is transformed into the shape of a large cauldron."

"Although this is a tomb, it is also a natural cauldron that can be used to refine pills. The person who can set up such a tomb must have a Heavenly Realm soul and be an experienced alchemist."

"Building the tomb in the shape of a pill cauldron, with the energy of heaven and earth constantly gathering and the earth vein fire being refined over time, naturally has a purpose. This is to borrow the power of heaven and earth to refine a ninth-grade pill."

"And the owner of the tomb will be reborn or possess the body of the pill when it is completed."

"This is the method of rebirth through the use of elixir!"

A method of rebirth through the use of elixir?

Everyone felt a sense of awe and wonder, though they didn't quite understand it.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Yao Chen explained directly:

"The higher the grade of the pill, the more changes it will cause. A sixth-grade pill will cause changes in the heavens and earth. Low and mid-grade seventh-grade pills will cause strange phenomena in the heavens and earth. High-grade seventh-grade pills will attract pill lightning and know how to avoid the alchemist."

"Eighth-grade pills already possess extremely strong intelligence. Their quality is tested by pill lightning. They are divided into 2 to 9 colors. Only those whose soul realm has reached the Spirit Realm can attempt to refine them."

"To refine a ninth-grade pill, one's soul realm must reach the Heavenly Realm. The ninth-grade pill is divided into three ranks: Precious Pill, Profound Pill, and Golden Pill. After passing the tribulation, one will possess intelligence comparable to that of a human and can transform into a human or a beast."

"Black demon lightning will appear when refining a grade nine precious pill, and nine-fold golden lightning will appear when refining a grade nine golden pill."

"The Ancestor of the Central Plains Pill Tower was transformed from a ninth-grade Xuan Dan, and is now a Dou Sheng powerhouse."

"I've only heard of this method of rebirth through alchemy. It's a technique used by ancient alchemists to rebuild themselves before their time was up."

“Using a region as a cauldron, countless medicinal herbs are pushed together, and the energy of heaven and earth is gathered over at least a thousand years. Finally, the moment the barrier dissipates, the thunder of heaven and earth is used to strike the tomb.”

"If successful, the soul of the tomb's master will be reborn in a ninth-grade pill made from the power of nature, possessing the strength of a Dou Zun and the potential to become a saint."

"If this ninth-grade pill were a golden pill, it could even be born as a Dou Sheng."

"I used to think that this was just an idea of ​​people from the past, but I never expected to see someone actually doing it today."

hiss!

Everyone was astonished.

He actually used his own Heavenly Realm soul as the main ingredient to refine a Grade 9 elixir, and after being reborn, he became a reborn or rather, possessed a Grade 9 elixir.

Success will guarantee sainthood, or even direct sainthood.

Alchemists in ancient times were truly terrifying.

"The Dou Qi Continent before the Dou Di left might actually have been a supercontinent," Zhang Yuan thought to himself.

If this continent weren't special, how could a lineage like "Burning Technique," which seems to be related to the original Dharma body, have appeared?

After Xiao Yanzi broke through to the Dou Di realm, he stayed on this continent for nearly thirty years before venturing into the Great Thousand World. No one can say for sure how many ancient inheritances he found on the continent during those decades.

At that time, if he went to the vast world, becoming a supreme ruler in at least one battle would not be a problem.

"It seems that even if I break through to Dou Di in the future, I don't need to rush to leave."

"The waters of this continent are very deep."

"If it hadn't been destroyed, it could have definitely given birth to a Celestial Sovereign, and more than one."

Zhang Yuan's mind raced, and he asked, "Senior, how do we enter this tomb and wait for it to open naturally on the day the pill is completed?"

Chapter 179 A Question That Touches the Heart! A Mysterious Giant Shadow in Space

A massive tomb was actually a cauldron, capable of refining ninth-grade elixirs using the power of heaven and earth.

Zhang Yuan subconsciously thought of the Soul Clan's Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array, which was spread throughout the Dou Qi Continent. It was quite impressive that it could upgrade a nascent Emperor-grade pill to Emperor-grade.

If he could, he would be somewhat interested in the ninth-grade pills in this tomb.

"That depends on what you want to choose."

The old apothecary withdrew his soul power, secretly admiring the person who had orchestrated the scheme, but he didn't forget to explain the implications to Zhang Yuan.

"This tomb is a natural giant medicine cauldron. When we alchemists use the cauldron to refine pills, the higher the grade of the pill, the less likely it is to be taken out of the cauldron before it is finished. Otherwise, the efficacy will be greatly reduced, or it will be completely ruined. This kind of ninth-grade pill, which is refined with the power of heaven and earth, is probably even more so."

“If we rush in now, especially by going through the main gate, it’s like opening the cauldron before the pill is formed. This will ruin the whole plan, and the ninth-grade pill that could have been produced will also disappear.”

"But if we go in now, the soul of that eighth-grade alchemist should not have dissipated yet. Perhaps we can obtain the eighth-grade alchemist's inheritance. Also, there should still be quite a few of those eighth- and ninth-grade herbs used to refine ninth-grade pills, which we can obtain."

"Besides, there may be the entire collection of that eighth-grade alchemist in the tomb. You can get it now if you go in, but if you wait for the heavenly lightning to strike, it will all vanish into thin air."

"It's up to you to decide how to weigh these two factors."

The old doctor presented Zhang Yuan with two choices.

Alternatively, one could wait a year until a ninth-grade pill is successfully refined, and perhaps find a way to obtain a heaven-defying ninth-grade pill. However, the commotion that would ensue would likely attract countless powerful figures vying for it, leading to numerous unpredictable developments.

Not to mention, after that ninth-grade pill was produced, it may have already been taken by that eighth-grade alchemist who possesses the strength of a peak Dou Zun. It is likely that only a half-saint or even a Dou Sheng could take action to keep it.

Will these people be able to leave behind that elixir a year from now?

If Xun'er were to ask the ancient clans for help, there would naturally be no problem, but the ownership of this ninth-grade pill would be hard to say then.

Choosing to enter now means you'll definitely miss out on the ninth-grade pill, but you might get the inheritance of an eighth-grade alchemist, along with some eighth- and ninth-grade rare and precious materials collected by the eighth-grade alchemist throughout their life.

Zhang Yuan was never an indecisive person. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Senior, if you and Elder Feng were to make the move, how would you enter?"

"Entering from directly above this tomb is like entering the mouth of a medicine cauldron. The portal we see now is located at an opening around the cauldron. Opening it will cause a major upheaval in the tomb."

"Two Dou Zun must work together to open the barrier directly above the tomb. One must tear open the barrier, and the other must reinforce the spatial passage before we can enter."

Yao Lao said the truth, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

As an eighth-grade alchemist, he was actually very eager to see ninth-grade pills.

Moreover, this elixir is not an ordinary ninth-grade elixir, but one refined using a natural cauldron, allowing one to be reborn through the elixir.

But when he discovered that the person here was Zhang Yuan, and that they were all in a community of shared interests, he wouldn't rely on his seniority to reveal his own desires.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan asked again, "Senior, if you could make a move at the final moment of pill formation, could you snatch the pill from the alchemist who set up this Heaven and Earth Cauldron and be reborn with the help of a ninth-grade pill?"

Upon hearing this question, the old doctor's expression froze slightly.

A dazzling light appeared in Feng Xian's and Xiao Yan's eyes, but neither of them spoke.

Xun'er and Medusa, along with the other girls, showed expectant expressions, thinking it was a good idea.

According to Yao Lao, a ninth-grade pill refined using the Rebirth Method will at least grant the user the title of Dou Zun after tribulation and transformation, and will definitely lead to sainthood in the future.

If the owner of this tomb is generous enough, he can become a saint upon taking human form, a height that even millions of cultivators cannot reach, truly standing at the pinnacle of the continent.

If Yao Lao can seize this opportunity, he won't need to "resurrect" using the original method at all; he can even ascend to the heavens in one step.

"I can't do it, and I'm unwilling to do it either," Yao Chen replied negatively.

"This tomb is a medicine cauldron. All the ninth-grade pills must be kept in the medicine cauldron before they are formed, and they must not be leaked out."

"By the time the pill is completed and it undergoes the tribulation of lightning, the soul of the tomb's master will have completely merged with this ninth-grade pill. Even with the help of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and the Soul Clan's methods, I absolutely cannot snatch it."

Yao Chen only explained that he couldn't do it, but didn't say why he was unwilling.

But Zhang Yuan knew why he was unwilling: it was a matter of temperament and "the Way".

If Yao Chen were the kind of person who wanted to possess another's body and be reborn, Xiao Yanzi would have already fallen victim to his evil deeds.

In normal battles for Dao or for opportunities, Yao Chen would act without hesitation, such as when he competed with the Ancient Dragon of the Void for a high-level Earth-rank fighting technique, sometimes even risking his life.

However, this cauldron in the tomb was an opportunity prepared for him by an eighth-grade alchemist, which consumed his energy and resources. If Yao Chen were to take action, it would be tantamount to forcibly seizing something from someone with whom he had no grudge.

There is a fundamental difference between the two, so Yao Chen was unwilling.

This is also why Feng Xian and Xiao Yan were interested but didn't speak up.

"If it cannot be seized when the pill is formed, can it be tried before it is formed?" Zhang Yuan continued to ask, seemingly not understanding Yao Chen's meaning.

“But we cannot enter before the pill is formed,” Yao Chen replied.

The implication is that robbery should be possible.

"That's not necessarily true." Zhang Yuan smiled, turned to look at Zi Yan standing not far away in front of the door, and asked, "What do you think?"

“It’s a bit troublesome.” Zi Yan withdrew her small hand and shook her head, saying, “If I were in my original form, I could briefly synchronize with the void where this barrier is located, but it would be difficult to send people in. My strength is still too weak.”

The Ancient Dragon of the Void has such domineering control over space.

After gaining control of her physical body, Zi Yan discovered that her body could merge with the void, temporarily becoming a part of the void—a talent stemming from her bloodline.

This talent can work even within Zhang Yuan's Void Realm, because synchronization is not about destruction or manipulation, but simply about temporarily simulating one's body into a part of the void.

It felt like someone was swimming in water, briefly becoming part of the water.

A barrier is essentially a form of spatial application; the only difference is its strength.

"If it's an item, could you bring it in?" Zhang Yuan asked.

“If it’s something within three inches, then there’s no problem, but after delivering it, I’ll fall into a deep sleep,” Zi Yan replied, somewhat troubled.

"enough."

Zhang Yuan nodded in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over everyone: "The Ancient Dragon of the Void is exceptionally gifted. I plan to have Zi Yan send the Void Mirage Dragon Pearl into the tomb. When we come out of the Void Realm, we can naturally explore the tomb."

"Whether or not we should seize the ninth-grade elixir, I think we can decide after we explore the tomb."

"If he is a good senior, then lend him a hand and befriend a strong person."

"What if the other person isn't a good person either?"

Zhang Yuan didn't say what he was going to say next, but everyone understood.
