Planting a Heavenly Medicine in a Meteorite Crater

A whale fell, and a man died. Transcendent Immortals? Such a path is incomprehensible. The six masters felt a chill run down their spines. Was there once a special person?

This story seems to contain cruelty, bloodshed, betrayal, and ultimately, intense guilt and boundless remorse.

However, everything was too blurry; they only saw some very vague fragments, and most of what they saw was their own imagination and speculation.

"The general direction is correct. Can we actively find those special asteroids that contain Real Substance?" Zheng Yuantian's eyes were deep, and the room fell silent when he mentioned this.

Zhang Daoling arrived with unstoppable momentum, storming into the tenth level of the Spiritual Ruins. As he looked up, he saw two faces looking down at him.

Old Zhang glanced at them and said, "You two, stop spying on me."

"Crunch." Wang Xuan took a bite of a Cactus, eating it with relish.

Chen Yongjie's mouth was glowing red, as if he were gnawing on sugarcane, as he held a bright red celestial herb and was chewing it with great gusto.

"I...!" Old Zhang was stunned. The scene was a bit too much for him to bear. Those two young boys were each holding a medicinal herb and eating it like they were munching on a radish!

Even Ancestor Zhang, at this age, never lived such a luxurious life. Where did these two lads get their hands on such extraordinary wealth? Are they trying to flaunt it to him?

"Immortal, would you like some? It's quite crunchy," Chen Yongjie greeted.

"There's a barrier between us, so even if we give it to him, he can't eat it," Wang Xuan said.

"You two, don't you know that the Heavenly Medicine is even more effective after being refined into pills? Keep it and give it to me later, and I'll help you refine the Nine-Turn Dragon-Tiger Immortal Pill!" Old Zhang shouted.

The two men were grinning, their mouths practically gleaming, making Old Zhang want to slap them both. What were they showing off for?

"No need. Refining pills in the furnace takes too much time. Let's just eat them directly. Breaking through the cultivation barrier as soon as possible is the priority," Chen Yongjie said.

He muttered to himself, wondering who knew that Old Zhang would give them a few pills after refining them.

Beside him, Wang Xuan was radiating light, with Real Substance surging forth. He was indeed about to break through; he was officially about to enter the ninth stage of the Human World.

As they were talking, Old Chen also broke through his cultivation barrier, stepping into the eighth stage. His whole body was covered in crimson light, and red energy was spewing out from his ears and nostrils.

"You two!" Old Zhang pointed at them, wanting to kick each of them a few times. Is this how you use the Heavenly Medicine? It's such a waste; it's best used when breaking through to the Great Realm.

For example, the journey from the Human World to the Carefree Journey, and from the Carefree Journey to the Master of Nurturing Life, rather than being used to break through a few small hurdles.

What does it mean to waste resources? These two are a perfect example! It breaks his heart to see them like this.

"Immortal, when you find another celestial herb, I'll save it for you to refine into pills," Chen Yongjie shouted. Golden Shine Upon shone everywhere, and after circulating the Daoist scriptures, purple energy came from the east. In addition, red clouds burst forth from his body, giving him a rather extraordinary aura.

As for Wang Xuan, after entering the ninth level, various near-real substances permeated the air, but he forcibly suppressed them back into his body. Any such near-real substance was of super grade and came from the Misty Land.

He was very calm. This breakthrough did not cause any disturbance to the outside world. The world was quiet, and everything was very peaceful and normal.

Old Zhang stared at the two of them for a while, then turned his back on them and disappeared into the deep sky, heading off to find the six masters.

Then, the two demon kings came one after the other, and disappeared in a flash, following them inside.

"The Female Dread King of the Three Dreadful Piles' is one thing, but that Old Astronaut also went in?" Wang Xuan looked surprised.

"Those two are cultivating celestial medicine, thieves, and fishermen!" A powerful figure from the eighth level of the Spiritual Ruins arrived at the tenth level and saw the two sitting on the barrier. His eyes turned red.

"Disciple, help me kill them!" Chen Yongjie smiled as he looked at the man with a golden feather stuck in his black hair bun.

The Demon Cultivator ignored him, pretending not to hear, and turned away.

"They used the celestial herbs to break through their limits! How extravagant, wasteful, and shameful!" someone lamented, filled with indignation. They believed that the two celestial herbs originally belonged to them and should not have been used in this way, and that the two people didn't understand medicine at all!

"I'm leaving!" Wang Xuan murmured. Many people had seen that he had broken through, and everything was as usual. It was time for him to engage in in-depth cultivation and to plant Cactus.

He and Old Chen decisively fled, rushing towards the City of Lightning, hoping to find a secluded place to cultivate in seclusion and prepare to shock the peerless masters. This time, he wanted to do something ruthless.

The Peerless Grade Thousand Wings Raptor gave chase, but it seemed unwilling to leave the ruins, and eventually witnessed them rush out of the dense lightning zone.

Wang Xuan turned around and looked at the huge head crackling with electricity, feeling that this place was too dull.

The Mental World is vast and boundless. Wang Xuan and his companions flew three thousand miles in one go before finally settling down in a quiet place.

Furthermore, they released their physical bodies and merged them with their spirits in order to achieve a better breakthrough.

"Old Chen will be holding the medicine for a while. If anything unusual happens and he can't hold on, you can take a few bites," Wang Xuan reminded him.

Previously, the two of them had only eaten a little, chewing only small pieces of leaves, just to make an appearance; it was impossible for them to actually swallow such a precious herb whole.

"Okay!" Chen Yongjie nodded.

Wang Xuan's spirit stood in the earth of destiny and muttered to himself, "What a strange place. This is the Source of Myth, the birthplace of the extraordinary. Various near-real substances swirl around it, and the vitality is astonishingly rich. Everything started from here."

Clang! Clang...

Wang Xuan held an Iron Stake in his hand, the very same old tool that had pierced the roots of the Heavenly Medicine, which he had somehow managed to bring in. He used it to tap the Nurturing Life Furnace.

Then, he repeatedly lifted the furnace lid and slammed it back down, shaking the very ground around him.

"Confucius said, I said, Old Zhang said, what's going on? Is the car going to overturn?" Chen Yongjie staggered, his whole body unsteady, about to fall to the ground.

He stood guard over Wang Xuan, right in front of him. This time, it wasn't a rocking horse, but a roller coaster, going up and down so much that he felt like throwing up!

His life force trembled violently, almost churning. He secretly cried out that he couldn't take it anymore and quickly put a small piece of celestial medicine leaf in his mouth to absorb the Real Substance and calm his nerves.

Wang Xuan struck the Nurturing Life Furnace 108 times in one go, making him dizzy. All sorts of Real Substance in the earth were stirred up, almost boiling over.

Outside, there was wailing and howling, chaos and utter pandemonium!

In the grand scheme of things, the World-Crossing Sword and the Carefree Boat reappear, and Zhang Daoling, Fang Yuzhu, and the true forms of the Red-Clothed Demon Lord all vie for them.

The true forms of Zheng Yuantian, Ling Luanxian, Demon Ancestor Qi Yi, Mingxue, and others also rushed forward, their eyes blazing with heat and radiating terrifying beams of light.

In the Real World, those with extraordinary abilities couldn't withstand it, while those with weak foundations were like drunkards; in an instant, a large number of them collapsed to the ground, their physical bodies trembling wildly.

Some people vomited, their primordial spirits were shaken and left their bodies, their spirits were weak and their realms were completely unstable, and parts of them began to fall away!

"Let's leave it at that for now. I doubt we'll shake off many people. We'll talk about it later. It's more important to go to the Land of Nothingness to plant herbs. The violent tremors during the advancement of our cultivation level will be the most significant."

Wang Xuan put down the furnace lid, and carrying the Cactus, the God Slaying Banner, the Silver Beast Skin Book, and the Pale Gold Animal Hide with two holes burned in it from the ashes of the Super Mythological Civilization, he prepared to set off.

He thought about it and also brought Iron Stake, thinking that it might be useful in a critical moment to dig out meteorites.

Whoosh!

He plunged into the Life Soil, using his Spiritual Heavenly Eye to locate himself and ensure the route was correct. He descended all the way down, and before leaving the Life Soil, he enlarged the flag and animal hide, taking with him a large amount of Life Soil.

He was like a streak of light, entering a silent, Land of Nothingness, which resembled a vast universe, but without stars, only near-real matter.

This time, he was even faster, or rather, after planting the celestial medicine, the distance between the two places was shortened. In his perception, it was only "one month" before he arrived at the Life Pool shimmering with silver light.

With a splash, this time not only did Wang Xuan jump into the pool, but he also threw the Cactus in, letting it soak there. Because soon it would be planted in an exceptionally arid place, this was a way to give it a head start in "nourishing" it.

The life-giving soil he brought was continuously irrigated with silvery immortal liquid and finally piled up on the earthen hill beside it.

The earthen hill grew larger, shrouded in white mist and silver light, like a dragon swimming or various birds of prey circling, creating an astonishing spectacle.

The Nine Tribulation Heavenly Lotus on the mountain has indeed mutated, transforming into a vine that is as long as an arm. It has many fine, dark red thorns, is very self-protective, and has four leaves that shimmer with silver light, exhibiting exceptional vitality.

"It can be called the Nine Tribulation Heavenly Vine now. Is this considered a kind of evolution?" He looked surprised.

Upon arriving in the Misty Land, the usual "rituals" were not reduced. He went bungee jumping at the entrance to hell again. In short, it was a death-defying ascetic practice!

Every time he came in, he would challenge the red clouds, wrapped in the God Slaying Banner. He felt that he was not diligent enough and not serious in his cultivation unless he burned himself to the point of death or was struck by lightning until he was charred inside and out.

He really pushed himself to the limit, truly dancing on a tightrope between life and death.

"Golden animal hide, very strong. Although it has holes, the material is no weaker than Silver Animal Hide or the banner of the God Slaying Banner."

During his ascetic practice, he wore Pale Gold Animal Hide and truly felt its extraordinary nature; this thing was definitely not simple.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the animal hide with holes looked different after it was struck by lightning and burned by the red glow of the sunset.

When he finished his training and dragged his dying body away, he felt something was off. Was it just his imagination? The golden light on the animal hide seemed to have brightened a little.

"Hallucination? Never mind!"

He went to the Silver Life Pool for "recuperation" many times, which also meant that he underwent many arduous practices. By the time he finally finished, the animal hide did not seem to be too worn out.

"That's strange. Isn't it afraid of getting burned?"

Once again, he threw the Pale Gold Animal Hide directly into the depths of the dense red glow, where the clouds and mist churned, becoming extremely terrifying, and thunderclaps resounded incessantly.

From a distance, the area looked like a boiling pot, with the red clouds almost bubbling.

In the past, when he cultivated here, he never dared to go too deep. He would only absorb a little red mist in the edge area. He was certain that if his true body went in, even the God Slaying Banner could not protect him.

Now, he boldly tried it, throwing in the gold animal hide with holes, and the commotion was unexpected.

He kept his distance, afraid of getting into trouble.

As time passed, and the red clouds receded and disappeared completely, he rushed over and found that the Pale Gold Animal Hide was not destroyed and had even become brighter!

Moreover, I don't know if it's just my vision being deceived, but the two holes on top seem to have become a little smaller.

Wang Xuan was very motivated. He waited for the red glow of the tide to rise and fall, and devoted himself to arduous cultivation and healing. He had done this countless times. This time, he was determined to improve to an extremely high level and try to break through the Great Realm Free and Carefree Journey.

Whether he breaks through or not is irrelevant, but he must go all out to break through the barriers and shock Zheng Yuantian and the others!

He felt that he had been in seclusion here for several years, and each time he was on the verge of death, he would recover by using the Life Pool, which far exceeded the time he had spent cultivating in the past.

"That's about it. This method of cultivation is almost ineffective for me. Just practicing hard and torturing myself won't work. Next time I come, I'll have to think of another way."

But his gains were also enormous, with his strength increasing significantly!

Wang Xuan, the ascetic, is now a seasoned ninth-dan master!

Then, carrying the Cactus -shaped medicinal herb that had been soaking for a long time, along with the life soil, he sped off to the meteorite crater area.

Everything went smoothly. He saw the meteorite site again, avoiding the moment when the tides were violent. After the Red Mist dissipated, he rushed forward and entered through the same mine he had used before.

Nothing has changed; the place remains quiet, with a rich purple aura that ripples like water.

"I was overthinking it. This place isn't really 'arid'. With the purple substance nourishing it, this Cactus- shaped herb should grow very well."

Wang Xuan deliberately avoided the mining area where the Demon Flower was located. He opened up a new path and continued to advance into the extremely deep area above the meteorite.

Wang Xuan was still wary of the "magic flower" that never withered, its immortal nature, and its terrifyingly hallucinogenic effects. He didn't plan to challenge it this time.

Holding Iron Stake in one hand and a God Slaying Banner in the other, he dug and dug, becoming a hands-on and incredibly hardworking mine owner.

He felt that after digging for two or three years, this time he had only dug in a few hundred meters and finally planted the Cactus Heavenly Medicine in a secret cave.

"This herb has extremely strong adaptability!" Wang Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

He shattered the meteorite, creating a large pit. After arranging its roots, he placed a large amount of life soil inside. Instantly, it began absorbing the purple substances from the area, nourishing itself.

The main reason was that the purple mist in this mine was like water, incredibly viscous, almost turning into liquid. It was indeed a great tonic, making Wang Xuan's primordial spirit Zi Ying and emit rosy light.

Soon after, this once crystal-clear herb took on a purple tinge, and it looked quite different.

"The Heavenly Medicine seems to have an insatiable fondness for substances that are close to reality. There's no need to worry about them dying. Sending them to the Land of Nothingness is like sending fish back to the sea," Wang Xuan pondered.

For the next two or three years, he was also mining and cultivating himself, studying various techniques and scriptures, such as the Dao Slaying Sword, stone tablet scriptures, and Shakyamuni visualization diagrams.

Wang Xuan felt that he had already reached the late stage of the ninth level, and was perfect. He kept shaking that great barrier, causing the meteorite cave to tremble and resonate.

"I wonder how bad the earthquake was outside."

At the same time, Wang Xuan keenly sensed that he seemed to have hit a ceiling, being suppressed and always finding it difficult to truly break through.

"The realm of 'Carefree Journey'? That's rather special. I feel like I've encountered a huge problem while cultivating and breaking through here."

He had an instinctive feeling that if he wanted to break through and enter the realm of Carefree Journey, he might need to cross the meteorite crater, but that was too difficult.

"My realm is related to the Land of Nothingness and the real environment I'm in?" He frowned. Did he need to be close to the source of reality?

This month is coming to an end. If you have a vote, please cast it; if not, that's fine too. No need for special tips.
