Alchemy drawing down heavenly lightning was a phenomenon recorded in ancient classics.
The classics said that only when a pill was refined to an extraordinarily high quality, or when the pill being refined was something even Heaven and Earth refused to allow into existence, would heavenly lightning descend. That existed only in the ancient records and was something that might occur in the Upper Realm. In the Three Realms, there had never been any rumors of lightning descending during pill refinement.
Everyone saw clearly that the sudden arc of lightning had appeared above the chamber. It had pierced straight through the thick stone layer above the chamber, drawing the power of the lightning in the sky into the chamber.
Thunder and lightning flashed, striking the Alchemy Cauldron. Radiant light immediately blazed and burst apart, unleashing a terrifying destructive force that seemed intent on smashing both the Alchemy Cauldron and the pills inside it to pieces.
An ear-piercing hum rang out. The towering Alchemy Cauldron suddenly erupted with a terrifying, sky-shaking energy, and strands of wondrous, luminous sigils abruptly appeared, instantly wrapping around the entire towering cauldron.
The figures that had been circling and flying around the cauldron all froze in place, then descended around it, surrounding it completely.
The figures sat cross-legged facing the cauldron, began forming hand seals, and sent out strings of incantation sigils.
In an instant, a mesh of interwoven, flickering five-colored radiance appeared on the surface of the enormous Alchemy Cauldron. Crisscrossing in all directions, it wrapped around the entire cauldron layer upon layer.
Thunder and lightning appeared again, like multicolored Flood Dragons baring their fangs and claws. Carrying the might of Heaven and Earth, they suddenly emerged from the stone wall at the top of the chamber and slammed into the enormous Alchemy Cauldron.
