Renewed Turmoil
Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill, Three Thousand Burning Flame, Bodhi Ancient Tree Sapling —frankly speaking, these three items are rare treasures that even ordinary powerful individuals would find difficult to obtain. Even for Xiao Ming, they are treasures that are hard to come by.
So when these three options were presented to Xiao Ming, he was satisfied, but Xiao Ming hesitated slightly about how to choose.
The Three Thousand Burning Flame, needless to say, were drawn from the one in the Star Region as a template. Naturally, this thing couldn't be that powerful. While it could increase Xiao Ming's strength, it was extremely limited.
Of course, this refers to the increased raw power gained during the absorption; other aspects also saw improvement. The Three Thousand Burning Flame Body is actually quite good, but there is still a Three Thousand Burning Flame in reality, so Xiao Ming doesn't need to waste an opportunity to achieve this kind of improvement. The Three Thousand Burning Flame is excluded.
The remaining two options are the reason for Xiao Ming's hesitation.
Taking the Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill directly can increase strength and allow one to break through to the Sixth-Rank Dou Sheng realm. In terms of improving one's realm alone, it is the most cost-effective of the three items.
However, Xiao Ming was also itching to get his hands on the Bodhi Ancient Tree Sapling. A mature Bodhi Ancient Tree could fight against Dou Di, and it could also cultivate Dou Sheng in large quantities. In addition, the attribute that it was impossible for a second one to be born naturally in the world was something that would make anyone's heart flutter. It was just that its extremely long growth cycle was a bit speechless.
"By the way, could these Bodhi Ancient Tree Sapling bring the Bodhi Ancient Tree to fruition sooner?"
Xiao Ming suddenly realized this, and the scales in his heart, which had originally leaned towards the Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill, began to shift towards the Bodhi Ancient Tree Sapling.
To be honest, Xiao Ming's Alchemy Technique have reached a bottleneck. The leap from Treasure Pill Grandmaster to Mysterious Pill Grandmaster is too great. With Xiao Ming current level of experience at twenty-four, it will be difficult for him to achieve another breakthrough in a short period of time, unless Xiao Ming possesses the soul of the Emperor Realm.
If the Bodhi Ancient Tree were to appear, the situation would be different. He could then use its Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation to comprehend the Alchemy Technique. At that time, he could refine not just one Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill, but ten.
The Nine Profound Golden Dragon in the Void Thunder Pool Ancient Dragon Island can also be subdued and used to refine Mysterious Pill Level Thunder Tribulation Pill.
After some deliberation, Xiao Ming made up his mind, then flashed to the Cliff Top in the Magical Beast Mountain Range before speaking.
"... select Bodhi Ancient Tree Sapling."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tree several meters in size appeared in front of Xiao Ming.
The trunk of the Bodhi Tree was filled with a mysterious Aura. The shade of the Bodhi Ancient Tree was as wide as its height, spreading out like an umbrella. Extremely rich Clear Qi emanated from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, rippling across the sky and causing various magical phenomena to appear in the sky from time to time.
The moonlight poured down from the sky, illuminating the Ancient Tree and giving it a translucent quality. An Aura that would amaze Xiao Ming slowly spread out.
Xiao Ming's gaze was fixed on the Bodhi Tree Sapling that exuded a strange aura. Its Clear Qi gave people a refreshing feeling, as if it could wash away the dust of the soul.
"The Bodhi Ancient Tree is indeed extraordinary."
While Xiao Ming was observing the Bodhi Ancient Tree Sapling, in the depths of the Dou Qi Continent, far from the surface, a magnified version of the Bodhi Ancient Tree stood quietly, its surrounding space exhibiting a strange state, its roots absorbing the pure energy of the earth.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, it emitted waves of joy, and its huge branches swayed and rustled. →
After a moment, seemingly receiving no response, it stopped shaking, hesitated for a moment, and then began to rush towards the surface.
Meanwhile, in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Ming put away the not-so-young Bodhi Ancient Tree Sapling, placed several layers of Space Seal, and then returned to his room to sleep with Medusa in his arms.
For the next few days, Xiao Ming spent his time just like in the simulation.
On the fifth day, he took Medusa, Zi Yan, and Xiao Yue directly through the Xiao Family's Spatial Wormhole to a spatial node on the outskirts of Holy Pill City.
After returning to the Pill Tower, Xiao Ming immediately convened a high-level meeting. The Great Elder and the others were both pleased and surprised by Xiao Ming's return.
After the initial joy, they discovered that Xiao Ming's strength had actually reached the Late Five-Star, which caused them to be excited again.
When Xiao Ming declared that he would accept this decisive battle, naturally no one objected. On the contrary, everyone was eager to deliver a fatal blow to the Hall of Souls.
Since there were still more than two months until the final battle, Xiao Ming tried his best to improve his strength, starting with improving his Soul Realm.
The Soul Origin from the Hall of Souls Headquarters on the four continents, plus the Soul Origin from the Earth Hall, was considerable, allowing Xiao Ming to effortlessly reach the Heaven Realm Great Perfection, with even more than half left over.
However, even after Xiao Ming absorbed it all, he did not achieve the Emperor Realm Soul; he only brought him one step closer to the Emperor Realm.
The Fallen Mountain Range are located at the junction of the Hall of Souls and the Heavenly Court. The name "Fallen Mountains" originates from Ancient Times.
It is said that in that era, several Dou Sheng Experts, including the Battle Saint, perished here. Although this legend has led many treasure hunters to search the mountain range repeatedly without finding any Dou Sheng Ruins, it does not diminish the fame of the Fallen Mountain Range in the Central Plains.
The once relatively Qing Jing Fallen Mountain Range Fallen Mountain Range suddenly become bustling with people in the past few days, as forces and powerful individuals from all directions flock to it.
Clearly, news of the battle between the Hall of Souls and the Heavenly Court inevitably spread.
This battle for supremacy among the forces of Central Plains has unexpectedly attracted a lot of attention.
The forces and powerful figures in Central Plains were all extremely curious: when the long-established powerhouse Hall of Souls clashed with the Heavenly Court Alliance, who would emerge victorious?
With this in mind, the number of visitors to the Fallen Mountain Range reached an almost terrifying level.
This situation caused great suffering to the native Magical Beast in the mountains. Some Magical Beast Family that had been thriving here hurriedly migrated, fearing that they would be affected and suffer the tragedy of extermination.
As the flow of people in the Fallen Mountain Range gradually began to reach saturation, the hearts of countless people suddenly surged with excitement. They could foresee that this trip would not be in vain, and that this decisive battle would be earth-shattering!
Time seemed to slip away almost as soon as everyone was watching.
As the dawn light of the decisive battle tore through the clouds and poured down upon the earth, the atmosphere in the mountains suddenly became intensely heated.
The sound of wind breaking through the air was incessant as figures flew out like locusts, all heading towards the same goal: the Peak of Fallen at the center of the Fallen Mountain Range!
The Peak of Fallen is the most majestic and precipitous peak in the Fallen Mountain Range, towering thousands of feet high. Some mountain paths are so steep that they seem to descend vertically, making it impossible to climb.
The mountain peak, smooth as a mirror, reflects the sunlight with even more dazzling brilliance. From afar, a pillar of light shoots into the sky, piercing the clouds, appearing exceptionally majestic and awe-inspiring, stirring a sense of grandeur in one's heart.
Coupled with the countless figures floating around them, many people felt a surge of boiling blood within them. To live a life to be able to fight someone with everything under the spotlight is truly a life without regrets.
The sky around the mountain peak was crowded with people. All the powerful individuals with the ability to fly spread their Dou Qi Wings or floated directly in the air. In some places closer to the mountain peak, one could even see some reclusive old monsters and some Supreme Elder of sects. It seems that these older generations are also paying close attention to this earth-shattering battle.
Although the entire mountain range was crowded, no one dared to easily set foot on the Peak of Fallen. Even the old monsters who could cause the surrounding space to collapse with a mere gesture stopped their bodies a thousand feet away from the summit.
The sunlight in the sky grew increasingly intense with the passage of time. As the blazing sun gradually hung high in the sky, the pillar of light shooting into the sky from the Peak of Fallen also reached its most dazzling moment. The pillar of light burst into the sky, and from a distance, it looked as if it were connected with the blazing sun in the sky, which was very spectacular.
Just as the pillar of light reached its peak, the space above the Peak of Fallen suddenly began to distort rapidly, and then, under the watchful eyes of countless people, a spatial passage slowly took shape.
"Hiss!"
As soon as the spatial passage took shape, a vast expanse of chilling black mist surged forth from it, and faint, mournful cries could be heard emanating from it. Many people around them changed their expressions, their eyes filled with both disgust and fear as they stared at the black mist.
"The Hall of Souls people have arrived..."
