[Nascent Soul Pill] had been successfully refined!
This had been a matter of course. Neither the World Honored One nor the First Generation Monster-Rearing Peak Master had ever doubted that the [Nascent Soul Pill] could truly be refined.
Because this was the masterpiece of the First Generation Elixir Peak Master.
Out of trust in the alchemist who had once stood first in the Light Sea, they had harbored no doubts. Only Lu Yang, who had actually refined it, felt somewhat uneasy.
Something isn't right.
Like a hegemon-class Dao weapon, the [Nascent Soul Pill] is essentially a piece of Forbidden Knowledge—Forbidden Knowledge concerning the myth of [Dragon-Tiger Mountain].
From that perspective, the First Generation Elixir Peak Master's plan requiring [Dragon-Tiger Mountain] is perfectly justified; one could even say it was a necessary condition. Without the corresponding Image, I could not have grasped that Forbidden Knowledge. But the key to my comprehending it was the Ancestral Dragon.
The Ancestral Dragon's intervention had given him inspiration.
That was only natural. As one who had personally experienced [Dragon-Tiger Mountain], its very existence was the best key to unlocking that dust-covered myth.
But the problem was—it was too much of a coincidence.
What if the Ancestral Dragon hadn't acted? Without it, could an imitation [Dragon-Tiger Mountain] created through the Spell Dao have enabled someone to comprehend that piece of Forbidden Knowledge?
The truth behind this sent chills down Lu Yang's spine the more he thought about it. It meant that the First Generation Elixir Peak Master had anticipated from the very beginning that the Ancestral Dragon would act. But why could he have anticipated it? Had he guessed that Chu Sheng would release the Ancestral Dragon to target the Netherworld? If so, that would still be good news.
What he feared was another possibility.
