Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 41 Golden Core, White Eyes

Taiwei flashed away from the cave, looking back at the gradually blurring and disappearing mountains, his brows furrowed. Even now, he could imagine the tragic scene when his Dao Fruit avatar was born in the future.

Without sufficient means and resources, the Long-Armed Ape would be no match for those top-tier beings. Taiwei even suspected that the prematurely born Red-Bottomed Macaque might have already been killed by other powerful beings, or refined into their incarnations.

Otherwise, given the talents and fierce nature of the Four Mischievous Monkeys, they wouldn't have remained unknown until now.

Taiwei stood in front of the cave, watching it completely disappear before turning around. By then, the entire mountain had been banished by Taiwei into the endless void.

When the Long-Armed Ape is born, this great mountain will return to the primordial world.

Taiwei didn't know when the Tongbi Ape would be born, but he figured it wouldn't be a short time. According to the normal evolution of the world, only one divine monkey could be born in each era.

It would take four eras for all four divine monkeys to be born, a time that would be quite long even for top-tier Primordial Saints.

Although Taiwei has now enhanced the evolutionary speed of the giant egg containing the Tongbi ape with array patterns, the Tongbi ape is unlikely to be born within the next ten to twenty million years.

After leaving the mountains, Taiwei rose into the sky again to investigate the secrets of heaven. As expected, this time Taiwei did not find any information about the treasures of heaven and earth, which was normal.

First came the Inkstone Gourd, and then the Giant Monkey Egg. Taiwei's ability to obtain these two treasures of heaven and earth is likely related to his recent transformation into a True Saint, during which his personal fortune is constantly surging and rapidly increasing.

Now that Taiwei has obtained two great treasures of heaven and earth, his soaring fortune has gradually subsided and returned to its original state.

After that, it won't be so easy for Taiwei to obtain the treasures of heaven and earth again, unless Taiwei forcibly seizes them like Bai Yi. As long as one's own strength is strong enough, one can completely trample on the so-called destiny and fortune.

As he collected numerous divine metals and precious materials from heaven and earth, Taiwei gradually perfected his Twelve Branches of the Profound Pivot in his heart. These twelve supernatural powers were related to Taiwei's life and death in the future, and could not be taken lightly.

Besides the Twelve Branches of Xuan Shu, Taiwei is also thinking about further transforming his own foundation in alchemy. He currently possesses the Heavenly and Human Yin-Yang Pill, which he refined from a wisp of Dao Qi of Long Qiao himself, and the White Tiger Heavenly Soul Pill, which he refined from Bai Yi's White Tiger Origin.

Both of these golden pills are of excellent quality and have the potential to be upgraded to higher quality in the future. Taiwei has already devised a plan in his mind on how to transform his natal Heavenly Human Dragon Tiger Great Pill, blending the four symbols and yin and yang, and finally achieving Hunyuan.

In other words, Taiwei will use the three supreme primordial energies of the Great Primordial World—the Four Symbols Origin, Yin-Yang Origin, and Primordial Chaos Origin—to sublimate his Celestial Dragon-Tiger Great Elixir, transforming it into the top-tier Golden Elixir of the Great Primordial World, thereby driving his own transformation into the Primordial True Saint.

The essence of the Heavenly and Human Two Elements Pill is sufficient to contain the Yin and Yang origins, but the Yin and Yang origins of the Heavenly and Human Two Elements Pill are too thin, and Taiwei itself needs to integrate a large amount of Yin and Yang origins in the future.

While the essence of the sixth-grade White Tiger Heavenly Soul Pill is barely sufficient, it only represents the wind element among the four elements, lacking the true dragon representing water, the black tortoise representing earth, and the phoenix representing fire.

Only by fusing the true forms of the four divine beasts with the essence of the four elements can Taiwei's Four Elements Pill reach its most perfect quality.

As for the final Hunyuan Pill, Taiwei doesn't have a good idea yet.

The Primordial Chaos Pill can symbolize the beginningless and endless chaos, the supreme Heavenly Dao, or even the Great Dao of Chaos that governs everything in the darkness. Therefore, Taiwei needs to carefully deduce which type of Primordial Chaos Pill to refine.

The further refinement of his own alchemical philosophy led to a slight improvement in Taiwei's cultivation. In Taiwei's Purple Mansion Ancestral Court, the Heavenly Man Two Elements Pill and the White Tiger Heavenly Soul Pill evolved into Yin-Yang twin fish that kept rotating.

Taiwei's own primordial spirit formed hand seals, and pure and vast natal energy burst forth from his body, further refining the two great pills.

A vast spiritual energy emanated from Taiwei's body. The essence of the two golden pills was slowly sublimated in this continuous tempering process. Strands of golden and white pill energy were squeezed out from the two large pills and, with a casual pinch from Taiwei, they were transformed into second and third grade golden pills.

Although these elixir energies are impurities for the Heavenly Man Yin-Yang Elixir and the White Tiger Heavenly Soul Elixir, their essence is not impure; they simply conflict somewhat with the essence of these two great elixirs.

These elixir energies have a significant effect on cultivators at the Celestial Immortal and True Immortal levels. Taiwei melted the essence of the sun and moon in the palm of his left hand. In the illusory image of the sun and moon, strands of golden-white elixir energies were re-refined by the power of the sun and moon, transforming into one golden elixir after another.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of golden pills of the fourth rank or lower appeared in front of Taiwei. Although the quality was not high, such a number of golden pills was enough to arm a small team with decent combat power.

Taiwei looked at the golden pills in front of him that shone like stars, and with his right hand, he swept away hundreds of golden pills by circling the Yin and Yang energies.

As the Yin-Yang True Fire burned, Taiwei temporarily created a space in the palm of his right hand. One by one, the rare and precious materials he had collected were thrown into this space and merged with hundreds of golden pills.

Purple aura and golden flames rose, and within the raging Yin-Yang True Fire, hundreds of golden pills began to rapidly melt away. Many golden pills of the same essence merged and transformed into gems that shimmered with crystal brilliance.

A dazzling rainbow pierced through all the golden cores. Taiwei spread his five fingers on his right hand, and the last wisp of yin and yang energy slowly dissipated. Then, a string of prayer beads that shone with pure light fell one after another and landed on Taiwei's right wrist.

"This magic weapon is composed of 108 fourth-grade golden pills. The level of this bracelet is no weaker than that of a spiritual treasure. I never thought that I would actually refine a spiritual treasure that is no weaker than the Seven Star Dragon Abyss just because I had a sudden inspiration. Indeed, pills and artifacts are inseparable. It seems that my understanding of the Golden Pill Dao is still not enough."

Taiwei smiled as he looked at the bracelet on his wrist. Because the bracelet looked like 108 bright and clear eyes strung together, Taiwei named it the Hundred Eyes Bead.

The main body of the Hundred-Eyed Pearl is composed of 108 Grade 4 Golden Elixirs, each with different properties, which allows the Hundred-Eyed Pearl to unleash 108 supernatural powers evolved from the Golden Elixirs.

Although these supernatural abilities are far inferior to the great supernatural abilities of the Xuanmen, they are still quite powerful. In addition, the 108 supernatural abilities of the Hundred-Eyed Pearl can be stacked to form two kinds of supernatural abilities, one for offense and one for defense. This makes the power of the Hundred-Eyed Pearl reach the level of a spiritual treasure.
