Chapter 18 Celestial Dragon-Tiger Elixir, Young Daoist

"The path of water and fire is too broad, and its foundation and potential are not considered top-notch among many paths. If I choose this path, it will be difficult for me to catch up with those top-level beings in the future."

Taiwei waved his hand to disperse the water and fire phases that were constantly evolving within the Crimson Profound Fruit. Taiwei remained expressionless as numerous insights into the Great Dao were continuously integrated into the Crimson Profound Fruit seed, giving rise to various profound meanings of the Great Dao.

Towering mountains and encircling rivers—this is the true meaning of mountains and rivers; pure air rises while turbid air settles—this is the true meaning of purity and turbidity; the sun hangs high and the sun and moon revolve—this is the true meaning of the sun and moon.

Countless profound meanings of the Great Dao emerged one after another within the Crimson Profound Fruit, only to collapse and disintegrate the instant they appeared. Taiwei showed no sign of agitation, evolving one profound meaning of the Great Dao within the Crimson Profound Fruit time and time again.

Finally, after sitting in meditation for three thousand years, Taiwei gazed intently at the vast and boundless Heavenly Will and the mottled and vibrant human desires within the Crimson Profound Fruit, and a smile appeared on his lips: "It's you."

Taiwei shouted, and the spiritual crystals that had settled on his body instantly collapsed and dissipated. He pointed his five fingers at the Crimson Profound Fruit in front of him, and in an instant, the White Tiger and the Mystic Flood Dragon rushed into the Crimson Profound Fruit.

The white tiger coiled around the sky, swallowing the formless and intangible will of heaven, which transformed into the celestial tiger symbolizing the clear will of heaven.

The Xuanjiao swung its long tail, absorbing all the human desires and spiritual light into its body. Its black body rapidly transformed, and a purple true dragon appeared, sitting inside the Crimson Profound Fruit and coiling on the earth, representing the vicissitudes of human nature.

The moment the Heavenly Tiger Purple Dragon appeared, the brilliant spiritual light within the Crimson Profound Fruit burst forth, and many profound meanings of alchemy surged forth in Taiwei's heart, causing his own "Eighteen Profound Pearls Celestial Collection" to begin operating rapidly.

The eighteen paths are interconnected, combining Taiwei's various ideas and the true meaning of the Great Dao, evolving into the prototype of twelve divine powers that span heaven and earth.

Twelve mysterious spiritual lights descended, and the Crimson Profound Fruit slowly bloomed like a lotus flower. Layers of old and decaying skin peeled away, and amidst the dazzling golden and purple spiritual light, the Heavenly Tiger and Purple Dragon roared and murmured.

A celestial dragon and tiger elixir, engraved with dragon and tiger patterns, with a purple background and gold patterns, and revealing countless phenomena within, appeared and landed in Taiwei's open left palm.

The Celestial Dragon-Tiger Great Elixir is a divine elixir of heaven and earth formed by integrating the Great Dao of Yin and Yang and the true meaning of alchemy. Its specific grade is difficult to predict, after all, this great elixir is the Dao Fruit of Taiwei's Dao Fruit avatar, and it can continuously sublimate and transform as Taiwei's cultivation level improves.

Even though it has just been transformed, this Celestial Dragon-Tiger Great Pill is equivalent to a sixth-grade Golden Pill, which can be of great help even to those powerful beings at the Taiyi realm.

The Celestial Dragon-Tiger Elixir merged into his body, guarding the Purple Mansion Ancestral Court. Taiwei placed the Dragon Abyss Sword horizontally on his knees, and streams of Celestial Dragon-Tiger Elixir Qi surged out, transforming into streaks of purple-gold smoke that continuously tempered the Dragon Abyss Sword, enhancing the grade of this divine sword.

Just as Taiwei was refining the Celestial Dragon-Tiger Great Pill and elevating his foundation in alchemy, in the Heavenly Netherworld of the Primordial World, an extremely vast will trembled slightly, and golden rings appeared in the Heavenly Netherworld.

A golden bridge pierced through the Heavenly Netherworld, penetrating countless layers of time and space. One end landed in the Heavenly Netherworld, while the other end directly spanned countless mountains and rivers, descending upon the far west of the primordial world.

The ethereal purple immortal light and the blazing true fire of heaven and earth intertwined, transforming into a young Daoist with azure robes, black hair, a jade belt around his waist, and a Daoist bun, surrounded by dazzling immortal light.

"Those who dedicate themselves to the Dao of Alchemy are destined to be part of my Xuanmen sect."

A palm-leaf fan appeared in his hand. He waved it twice, then looked at the fan with dissatisfaction. He exhaled a breath of pure air, and the palm-leaf fan, covered with yin-yang patterns, instantly transformed into a graceful and elegant ink-wash folding fan.

With a satisfied smile, the young Taoist began to calculate the location of the person he was looking for. However, soon a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the young Taoist tucked the folding fan into his waistband, his expression becoming slightly serious.

With his left hand continuing to calculate, he placed his right hand on his brow, and the purple Xuanmen Heavenly Eye slowly opened. Before the young Taoist's eyes flowed endless heavenly secrets, his internal magical power rapidly depleted, and the aura around him constantly changed and burst forth, like an ancient volcano that was about to erupt.

However, after calculating for a long time and having exhausted most of his magical power, the young Taoist still couldn't deduce any trace of Taiwei's energy, and his brows furrowed.

"I refuse to believe it!"

The young Taoist's expression turned cold, and his immense aura erupted completely. The sky was filled with swirling clouds, and the howling sea of ​​clouds completely obscured the twinkling stars and constellations in the sky.

The aura of the peak Golden Immortal, nearly reaching the Taiyi realm, caused all living beings within a thirty million li radius to change their expressions drastically. However, the young Daoist didn't care about this at all and shouted to the sky above, "Help me!"

The jade bridge with golden patterns, cast from white jade, once again pierced through time and space, and a meteor burning with brilliant spiritual energy fell directly towards the location of the young Daoist.

The eight trigrams—Heaven and Earth, Water and Fire, Thunder and Wind, Mountain and Lake—directly sealed off the eight directions of Heaven and Earth. The young Taoist priest, seeing the almost tangible power of spacetime around him, twitched his eyelids and, without saying a word, threw out the folding fan from his waist.

In an instant, the blazing purple flames of the Douluo Sect surged into the Kan Water Spiritual Mechanism within the surrounding Bagua Spiritual Mechanism. Water and fire clashed, yin and yang collided, and the young Daoist's own even stronger Douluo Purple Flame pierced through the Dui Ze Spiritual Mechanism.

Just before the meteor, entwined with the spiritual energy of the Eight Trigrams, fell, the young Taoist transformed into a streak of light and flew away from the direction where the spiritual energy of the Kan Water had vanished.

In the next instant, the vast energy of the Eight Trigrams covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles, but the expected roar and explosion did not occur, and the surroundings remained calm.

The Bagua spiritual energy, covering an area of ​​a hundred miles, trembled slightly and then transformed into a spiritual rain and mist that merged into the bodies of all the plants and living beings within the area, healing all their hidden injuries and leaving behind a most basic method of Qi cultivation and foundation building in their hearts.

The myriad trigrams and their magical energy dissipated, and a round-bellied furnace, crimson like jade, covered with trigram patterns, with three legs, two ears, and a lid like a tower, appeared not far from the young Taoist.

Although it did not reveal any spiritual power or might, the aura that erupted the moment the furnace descended covered an area of ​​thirty million miles of boundless mountains and rivers, which was terrifying.

"It's always like this. I'm not coming out next time." The young Taoist muttered as he looked at the disappearing white jade bridge in the sky, but the moment he saw the crimson furnace, his expression instantly turned to great joy.

"The Eight Trigrams Furnace, perfect. I'd like to see if you can withstand its heavenly deductions."

The young Taoist placed his folding fan on the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and the glittering golden light merged with the Six Ding Divine Fire that scorched the heavens and boiled the earth.
