Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 48 Zixiao's Scheme, Qingyang's Fortune

The vast origin of alchemy merged into the star trail, and the magnificent and brilliant light of heaven descended. The spiritual light of the Great Dao, representing the supreme treasure of the Great Void, fell on the fragment of the Creation Green Lotus in Taiwei's body, completely severing the energy of this fragment of the Creation Green Lotus from the primordial world!

After doing all this, Taiwei looked at the furnace beneath him, which was now full of cracks, his expression as cold as snow, and his figure transformed into a stream of light and disappeared from the spot.

In the next instant, the golden blade light shattered the furnace completely. Tianxu, covered in golden flames, stood in mid-air, his brows furrowed as he looked around.

Within his body, the four fragments of the Primordial Lotus that had been constantly vibrating became completely silent, and he could no longer sense the energy of the other Primordial Lotus fragments.

"Hmph!" After searching for a long time without finding any trace of Taiwei, Tianxu turned around and flew towards the far west. He had finally met an opponent with whom he could fight to his heart's content, and he would not let the other party escape so easily.

Since he can't find the other party, he should go find the person who told him to find his opponent through the fragments of the Creation Lotus. Presumably, that person will have a way to help him find Taiwei.

On the other side, Taiwei breathed a sigh of relief after feeling most of the calamity energy that had been lingering on him dissipate instantly.

However, upon sensing the dimming of his primordial spirit and the extremely damaged internal organs, Taiwei's expression turned icy.

He was tricked so badly this time. Such injuries would take an ordinary Golden Immortal cultivator millions of years to recover from, and even if they did recover, their cultivation level would probably drop from the Golden Immortal realm.

Fortunately, Taiwei was not an ordinary Golden Immortal, and he was also a cultivator of alchemy. Although the injury was serious, it was not too troublesome for Taiwei.

The real trouble was Zixiao, who was hiding behind the scenes plotting against Taiwei. The moment Tianxu appeared, he knew that the person who was scheming against him was Zixiao.

Within Tianxu's body, Taiwei sensed several fragments of the Creation Lotus. The moment he sensed these fragments, the Creation Lotus fragments within Taiwei's own body began to vibrate.

Even though Taiwei has now completely refined the fragments of the Creation Lotus, he still cannot suppress this anomaly. The only Taiyi realm expert who is related to the fragments of the Creation Lotus and has a karmic connection with Taiwei is Zixiao.

It wasn't until Taiwei used the origin of his Celestial Dragon Tiger Great Pill to draw a wisp of Taixu Supreme Treasure spiritual light from his main body that he was completely cut off from the connection between his Creation Green Lotus fragment and the outside world.

With the help of the divine light of the Great Dao, Taiwei was finally able to completely break free from the connection between the other fragments of the Creation Lotus and the fragment of the Creation Lotus in his own hand.

However, the cost of doing so was that two-thirds of Taiwei's own natal magic treasure, the foundation of the Great Dao, and the origin of the Heavenly Dragon Tiger Great Pill were burned, greatly reducing its essential potential and even showing signs of collapse.

If Taiwei hadn't used his Yin-Yang Chaos Divine Power to forcibly suppress the Celestial Dragon-Tiger Pill, this pill would probably have collapsed by now.

Once the Heavenly Dragon Tiger Great Elixir, which forms the foundation of his Dao, collapses, Taiwei will not only be unable to continue cultivating, but it would be a stroke of luck if he could even preserve his cultivation level from regressing.

"Zixiao, it seems my premonition was right. We are destined to be entangled in the future. I won the first time, and I lost this time. So let's have a good competition next time."

Taiwei's expression was cold and sinister. This was the first time he had suffered such a great loss since his Dao Fruit avatar was born.

Given his current injuries and the depletion of the Heavenly Dragon Tiger Great Pill's essence, it would take at least 100,000 years to recover. This undoubtedly greatly delays Taiwei's further advancement to the Taiyi realm and disrupts his original plans.

"With a wisp of the Great Dao's spiritual light from the Supreme Treasure of the Void separating us, it can at least hold off Zixiao for several million years, giving me enough time to improve myself."

"As long as my cultivation advances to the Taiyi realm and my life level is raised to the Primordial True Saint before the Great Dao's spiritual light ignites, then it won't be easy for Zixiao to scheme against me, since we are both top-level beings in the Taiyi realm."

Taiwei meticulously calculated in his mind. The terrible wound in his chest and the slowly recovering primordial spirit caused a surging pain, making Taiwei's heart rise with a chilling killing intent: "And Tianxu, that madman, I will completely end you in this era!"

Amidst the burning golden light and purple flames, Taiwei's external injuries quickly healed. He casually found a mountain peak, sat cross-legged in the shady spot of the mountain, and the Bingding True Fire burned in front of him. All the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was refined by Taiwei with the Bingding True Fire.

The essence of the sun and moon above transformed into two streams of golden and silver light that fell into the Bingding True Fire. The crimson flames burned fiercely. Taiwei looked at the flames before him, and his own divine sense transformed into a dancing purple stream of light that constantly crisscrossed within the True Fire, guiding the Bingding True Fire to scorch all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Life and death, yin and yang, green wood, black and yellow, light and darkness—all sorts of spiritual forces of heaven and earth gradually merged into one under the subtle and exquisite technique. Finally, accompanied by a burst of spiritual light, a bright and brilliant green pill appeared in the Bingding True Fire.

Taiwei looked at the formed azure pill in front of him, but did not consume it directly. Instead, he turned his hand and merged the azure pill into a plum tree that was no more than two zhang tall, covered with white flowers and green leaves, arranged in a well-ordered manner.

The shimmering blue light rippled across the plum tree, and with a burst of radiant light, the unripe plums on the tree quickly ripened, turning from green to a pale golden yellow.

Upon seeing this, Taiwei waved his sleeve and knocked all the plums off. Amidst the drifting golden light, the skins of hundreds of plums peeled off, revealing large, round, golden cinnabars inside.

The Qingyang Creation Pill, a fourth-grade golden pill, contains a creative energy formed from the laws of myriad phenomena. It has a very good restorative effect on both physical injuries and injuries to the primordial spirit.

Even if an ordinary acquired being were to obtain a Qingyang Creation Pill, they could completely transform themselves into a Primordial Immortal with this Grade 5 Golden Pill.

Taiwei swallowed a Qingyang Creation Pill, and a blue light shone from his body. The injuries to his internal organs and primordial spirit began to heal rapidly. As he swallowed one Qingyang Creation Pill after another, Taiwei's energy began to regain its strength.

It took a full ten thousand years for Taiwei to consume 102 of the 120 Qingyang Creation Pills to fully recover from his injuries. The remaining 18 Qingyang Creation Pills were refined into the Celestial Dragon Tiger Pill by Taiwei, barely stopping the collapse of his natal pill.
