In the blink of an eye, another endless year has passed.

Ling Dan wasn't entirely clear on what was happening in the outside world.

However, by sensing the numerous fluctuations within the Great Dao River, it becomes clear that battles among Dao Fruit cultivators seem to be becoming increasingly frequent.

This shows that the situation in the primordial world is becoming increasingly chaotic.

Ling Dan didn't pay much attention to this, focusing instead on comprehending the Great Dao and deducing the method of the sword pellet.

"Six hundred million experiments, using the sword to perform the Dao Transformation Secret Technique, fusing the pill within. The spiritual medicine becomes the core, the sword becomes the Dao rhythm... Begin refining..." Ling Dan murmured, refining the pill once more.

Within the furnace of heaven and earth, one can see a special sword, accompanied by a unique Daoist aura, gradually transforming into the Great Dao, as if it were becoming a Daoist aura itself.

As the Daoist energy transformed, many medicinal herbs gradually fell and melted together to form a pill.

As the elixir evolved, it gradually drew upon the essence of swordsmanship.

However, as the Daoist principles were transformed and the sword energy soared into the sky, subtle conflicts arose. Ultimately, the elixir and the sword energy transformed into Dao, eventually dissipating into nothingness.

"Failed again!" Ling Dan's expression was numb, and she also sighed.

After so many years of deduction and experimentation, Ling Dan was also feeling tired.

Speaking of which, ever since Ling Dan wanted to use the fragments of the Jade Butterfly of Creation to refine pills and make them into treasures to carry the Three Corpses, she has been thinking about how to use the Jade Butterfly fragments to refine pills.

In the primordial era, most alchemy methods involved refining elixirs from the essence of herbs and trees.

However, it is truly difficult for Ling Dan to create a method of alchemy that uses spiritual treasures, great artifacts, and all things.

After all, the primordial world encompasses all things, and refining it into a pill is not so simple.

After years of contemplation and experimentation, consuming countless resources, Ling Dan finally discovered a wondrous method: refining elixirs using the Dao Transformation Secret Method. This Dao Transformation Secret Method, recorded in Lao Tzu's Great Luo Scroll, allows one to use spiritual treasures to draw upon the waters of the Great Dao River, gradually transforming the treasures into the Dao and merging them into oneself.

Today, the same method is used to refine elixirs.

They purify and refine herbs and plants to create elixirs; they transform numerous great artifacts and treasures into the Great Dao through secret methods of transformation, and then integrate them into the elixirs.

Simply put, it involves using elixirs to perform the Dao Transformation Secret Technique, allowing the elixirs to be integrated into the great Dao artifact through the long river of the Great Dao, thereby enhancing one's own foundation.

Of course, this method seems simple, but how to implement it and how to operate it is extremely troublesome.

Ling Dan was also troubled: "Over the years, we've consumed resources from more than ten Great Realms, but we still haven't created it. Indeed, creating a divine technique from scratch is truly not that simple."

……

In the blink of an eye, countless years have passed.

Over the years, Ling Dan has consumed three resource-rich worlds.

Such a large expenditure of resources resulted in countless accumulations, and ultimately, some gains were made.

Ling Dan's eyes lit up: "Great, great... we've finally created it..."

After so many years, Ling Dan has finally created a method for refining pills using precious materials, and he can't wait to do it.

Then, Ling Dan took many spiritual herbs and fruits into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Over the years, the furnace has absorbed resources from many great realms, and the flames it ignites are extremely hot. Under the burning flames, many plants and trees are burned in a short time, turning into energy.

At the same time, Ling Dan also took out a post-natal spirit sword. This sword was also one that Ling Dan had put a lot of effort into forging.

Now, the sword flew out and fell into the furnace of heaven and earth.

As the flames burned, Ling Dan used a wondrous alchemical technique to draw upon the Great Dao River in the darkness. The river flowed, intertwining with the acquired spiritual sword.

In a very short time, given the quality of this spiritual sword, it was assimilated and transformed into the Dao.

The Daoist essence that had been refined and condensed was incorporated into the condensed pill by Ling Dan, along with the pill-making technique.

The moment the two merged, the aura attached to the acquired spiritual sword almost assimilated it.

At this moment, Ling Dan used a pill-making technique to stabilize the Dao-transforming aura, balance the two, and transform it into a perfect pill.

Years later, Ling Dan flicked her sleeve, and the furnace of heaven and earth emitted a pure medicinal fragrance, but within the fragrance was a fierce sword aura.

"Haha... The elixir is complete, the Dao is born..." Ling Dan said, pointing her fingertip, and the elixir flew out of the furnace.

The pill landed in my palm, radiating a sharp sword aura. With a gentle grasp, the pill, absorbing and releasing sword energy, transformed into a sharp sword.

"This pill emits a medicinal fragrance. After ingestion, it can enhance one's swordsmanship. It can also absorb and release sword energy, transforming into a sharp sword of considerable quality. Such a pill can be used as both an elixir and a sword, far exceeding the concept of a mere sword pill."

Ling Dan smiled broadly, also showing her excitement.

"...Next, I will use this alchemy method. With innate spiritual treasures, I will refine special pills one by one. The incarnation of the sword... let it begin with you."

Ling Dan turned her gaze, summoned her sword avatar, and said, "Integrate that 'Gentle Breeze Sword' into the pill, create a Sword Dao Divine Pill, and transform it into your new physical body."

"That works too. If I can rely on a sword-based innate spiritual treasure to forge a divine pill that forms my physical body, I estimate I'll become stronger and more enduring." The sword avatar didn't object, eagerly anticipating the refinement of the divine pill.

Ling Dan did not hesitate and immediately put away her sword avatar, turning it into a pill.

Ling Dan did not hesitate and immediately put away her sword avatar, turning it into a pill.

This elixir was crafted by Ling Dan using countless spiritual herbs and numerous spiritual roots, resulting in a divine sword-path pill. After its creation, it possessed a seventh-grade quality. Later, through the accumulation of merit, it was further refined into a ninth-grade quality.

Unfortunately, although Ling Dan's alchemy skills were good in the past, he hadn't fully developed, so the quality of the pills he refined was only seventh grade.

Now, after refining it, Ling Dan added many spiritual herbs and incorporated them into this pill.

"Sword-shaped grass, Gengjin fruit, Sharp-edged tree..."

Numerous spiritual herbs, transforming into a surging torrent of medicinal properties, merged into the sword avatar's main body, restoring its medicinal effects and gradually improving its quality. Previously, its quality had only been barely improved through merit. With several breakthroughs and subsequent rises, it gradually self-repaired itself, reaching the peak of the eighth rank.

Now, this breakthrough and subsequent establishment is destined to elevate it to the ninth-grade quality.

Countless years later, in the crucible of heaven and earth, the sword's edge surged, its sharp energy seemingly piercing through eternity.

With a flick of his sleeve, Ling Dan unleashed a torrent of medicinal properties, which merged and flowed into the pill, ultimately transforming it into a Nine-Turn Pill imprinted with countless sword imprints.

"Hoo... The quality of the Nine Revolutions is complete. Next, it's time to integrate it into the sword-dao spiritual treasure." As Ling Dan said this, he flicked his sleeve again, and a primordial divine sword flew out.

This innate divine sword was also the divine sword wielded by the previous incarnation of the sword path. This sword is named the Qingfeng Sword. It seems to have evolved from a wisp of innate divine wind in the primordial world, intertwined with a fragment of a broken chaotic spiritual treasure, into a divine sword.

This divine sword may not be considered top-grade, but it is still one of the best among the superior grades.

This sword was also obtained by Ling Dan from his Uncle Tongtian.

Unfortunately, while there are many spiritual treasures in the Ling Dan realm, there are truly very few sword-type spiritual treasures.

Now, Ling Dan uses the Transformation Dao Pill Technique to weave this Qingfeng Sword and draw upon the waters of the Great Dao River.

The waters of the long river converge and merge into this sword, gradually transforming it into the Dao. The Daoist essence intertwines, transforming into a true spirit of the sword, slowly merging with the divine elixir.

As they merged, a buzzing sound and a special Daoist rhythm emanated from the elixir.

Under that Daoist aura, the sword avatar transmitted its voice: "My true self... I have a feeling that as I merge with this Qingfeng Sword, my quality will be further improved."

"Further improvement in quality? In the primordial world, there is only the saying of nine-stage pills. What kind of quality is it that surpasses nine-stage pills?" Ling Dan was somewhat surprised.

"You yourself...aren't you a pill that surpasses the quality of a ninth-grade elixir?" the sword avatar transmitted again.

"I know that after cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, I used my own body to refine pills, transforming into a human-shaped Great Pill. But in terms of quality, I don't even know what my own quality is. Besides, it seems that no pills I've refined using alchemy methods have ever surpassed the quality of the Nine Revolutions." Ling Dan said earnestly.

Ling Dan was well aware that, in terms of quality, she absolutely surpassed the quality of the Nine-Turn Rank.

But at this point, Ling Dan had long since relied on cultivation level to determine one's worth. Qualities and such were no longer relevant to Ling Dan.

Therefore, Ling Dan was somewhat curious about pills that surpassed the quality of the ninth grade.

Out of curiosity, he continued to use the Transformation Dao Pill Technique to temper the Qingfeng Sword and integrate it into the pill.

Driven by curiosity, Ling Dan focused on refining pills. In just ten thousand years, she transformed the superior Qingfeng Sword into pure Daoist essence, which she then incorporated into the pills.

The Qingfeng Sword completely transformed into Daoist essence, merging into the pill, instantly transforming the pill into soaring sword energy. That sword energy seemed to pierce through the ages.

Then came a buzzing sound, like dark clouds obscuring the sky.

That feeling evoked both a strange and familiar sensation in Ling Dan: "A lightning tribulation?"

As he said this, the sword avatar within the furnace of heaven and earth transmitted his voice: "My true self... my quality surpasses the ninth level, it seems I have attracted a tribulation of lightning."

"You really attracted a lightning tribulation? In the current primordial world, the Heavenly Dao is not yet perfect. There is only the Heavenly Tribulation of Transformation, but no Heavenly Tribulation of Breakthrough. You attracted a lightning tribulation, which means you have transformed... This..." Ling Dan was very puzzled and couldn't understand it.

Now, Ling Dan's sword avatar has attracted a tribulation of transformation. It's strange no matter how you look at it.

After all, Ling Dan's sword avatar was originally able to maintain a human form, so why has it transformed into a human form now?

Although Ling Dan was puzzled, with the heavenly tribulation gathering, he could only flick his sleeve and send his sword avatar flying out from the furnace of heaven and earth.

Seeing this scene, Ling Dan also left her secluded cultivation place and arrived at the Kunlun Tribulation Transcending Ground.

This area was specially designated by the Three Pure Ones for their disciples to use in their tribulations.

Now, dark clouds gather and thunder spreads, ready to strike at any moment.

Ling Dan arrived at this place and saw the sword avatar under the lightning tribulation, enveloped by lightning.

"boom……"

Thunder descended, striking the embodiment of swordsmanship.

Now, the embodiment of swordsmanship, sensing the change, manifests its true form, radiating soaring sword energy.

The sword energy roared, surging towards the thunder and severing it.

The lightning was severed, but even more lightning fell.

Beneath the thunder, the tiny pill emitted soaring sword energy, eventually transforming into a gentle breeze sword to fight against the thunder.

Such a fierce battle attracted Laozi and his men.

There's nothing we can do; there are only so many living beings in Kunlun. Laozi and the others know very well who can transform and who can't.

It was precisely because I knew this that I quickly came to my senses and came here to observe.

Tongtian's expression changed, his eyes filled with doubt: "Ling Dan... back then, when my elder brother refined you, you attracted the heavenly tribulation and transformed into human form." "That's truly astonishing. But now, you've also refined a pill capable of attracting a Heavenly Tribulation of Transformation. Is this also a kind of reincarnation?"

Lao Tzu was now also filled with doubt: "Disciple... what kind of elixir did you refine that would attract the Heavenly Tribulation of Transformation?"

Laozi was puzzled, Yuanshi Tianzun was curious, and Tongtian found it interesting.

Seeing this, Ling Dan didn't hide anything: "Master... I've been in seclusion for many years, trying to understand how to use a primordial spiritual treasure as a material for alchemy to refine a pill. Ultimately, I relied on the 'Method of Transforming the Dao' to transform the primordial spiritual treasure into Dao essence, which I then integrated into the pill. Who knew that after integration, the pill surpassed the quality of a ninth-grade pill, subsequently attracting a Transformation Heavenly Tribulation? Could it be that if a pill surpasses the quality of a ninth-grade pill, it will attract a Transformation Heavenly Tribulation?"
