Within the Medicine Saint's遗府, there exists another world.
The moment they stepped through the portal of light, an extreme concentration of Spiritual Energy, mixed with the fragrance of ten-thousand-year-old herbs, surged into their limbs and bones, bringing comfort to their entire bodies.
Before them lay a world of medicinal fields stretching as far as the eye could see. Above, instead of sun and moon, the sky was formed by the interwoven roots of countless Spiritual Plants emitting a soft glow. The earth itself was a magnificent seven-colored hue, suffused with primordial essence. Countless ancient Spiritual Medicines, extinct in the outside world, thrived here, their ages easily reaching ten-thousand years.
Even more astonishing was that the laws here were complete and active. The Great Dao Resonant Chimes seemed to hum by their ears; a single day of Cultivation here could arguably equal a year of hard work outside!
"What a place!" Thunder Roar Ravine took a deep breath, his entire body's lightning becoming much more docile, cleansed by the serene Dao rhythm of this place.
A flash of surprise crossed Mu Qingxue's eyes. The purity of the Spiritual Energy here far surpassed any blessed land she had ever seen, and it also had a nurturing effect on the nascent Sword Heart she had just condensed.
Yun Mengyao subtly sensed the脉络 of this world and said, "This place was not formed naturally. It was opened with supreme power and was laid with spacetime great formations and medicinal Dao divine formations that steal the creations of heaven and earth. The growth trajectory of every Spiritual Medicine here secretly aligns with the formations' operations. The person who set up these formations had techniques that were already close to the 'Dao'."
Xuanyuan Che nodded, his feelings the most profound. His Innate Chaos Dao Body resonated strongly with the primordial wood Spiritual Energy and Chaos Mother Qi contained within this place. The three thousand Chaos acupoints on his body opened on their own, greedily absorbing this extremely pure energy. Although his cultivation had not visibly increased, his Dao foundation was being further solidified, progressing towards true perfection and flawlessness.
He could even hear a steady, powerful pulsation from deep within the earth beneath his feet, like the heartbeat of a sleeping giant—it was the spiritual rhythm produced by the combination of the earth's ancestral root and the supreme medicinal formation.
"Senior Medicine Saint truly lives up to their reputation," Xuanyuan Che praised, his gaze sweeping across the boundless medicinal fields before finally settling on the distant horizon. There stood three ancient, majestic halls, like mountains, arranged in a triangular formation, emitting distinct yet equally vast fluctuations.
"It seems the core Legacy is over there," he pointed towards the three great halls.
However, to reach the halls, they had to traverse this vast expanse of medicinal fields. The fields were not a smooth path; though seemingly serene, they harbored hidden dangers. Above the ground, where spiritual mist swirled, faint chains of Runes, naturally condensed from the essence of Spiritual Medicines, could be seen, interwoven into a net that blocked the path ahead, emitting heart-palpitating fluctuations.
"It's a Dan formation," Yun Mengyao observed with a focused gaze. "It uses ten-thousand medicines as its foundation, draws upon the earth's veins as its source, and forms its own cycle. Forcibly breaking through will trigger a counterattack from the ten-thousand medicines, and its power... might not be inferior to a Saint Lord's strike."
As soon as she finished speaking, several piercing screams suddenly erupted from not far to her side.
A team of five, who had apparently teleported in from somewhere, attempted to forcefully fly over a patch of blood-red Dragon Blood Grass. The moment they stepped into it, the Dragon Blood Grass on the ground instantly grew wildly, transforming into countless blood-colored vines that lashed out at them like divine chains of order. Simultaneously, dozens of crimson pills condensed in the air and exploded, transforming into a sea of Dragon Flame that could incinerate the heavens and boil the seas!
All five were cultivators of the Tai Xu Realm. They resisted with all their might, but their protective magical treasures were like paper under the Dragon Flame and vines, shattering instantly. Two were burned to ashes on the spot, one was sucked dry by the vines, becoming a desiccated corpse. The remaining two desperately crushed their Identity Tokens and disappeared under beams of light, managing to save their lives, but this also meant they were eliminated.
Everyone was awestruck. The power of this Dan formation far exceeded their imagination.
"Follow me," Xuanyuan Che said calmly, the Chaos Runes flowing within his eyes. The intricate trajectory of the Dan formation instantly became clear and understandable before him. The distribution of the ten-thousand medicines, the flow of the earth's veins... everything was laid bare.
He took a step forward, landing beside a cluster of small, earthy-yellow flowers. As his foot fell, the small flowers trembled slightly, and the spiritual mist and Runes within a radius of several feet quietly subsided.
Yun Mengyao and the other two followed without hesitation, precisely stepping on his footprints.
Xuanyuan Che and his companions walked as if strolling through a garden, navigating the perilous Dan formation.
Wherever they passed, the ten-thousand medicines bowed, and the ancient Spiritual Medicines, full of spiritual energy, even actively restrained their violent medicinal power, their branches and leaves swaying in a gesture of reverence and submission. This was the absolute suppression of all spirits in the world by the Innate Chaos Dao Body!
Yun Mengyao's beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration at this scene. Although she could sense fortune and disaster and avoid death with her Heavenly Heart Dao Body, she could never make the ten-thousand medicines submit willingly. Her junior brother's bloodline and physique always surpassed expectations with each display.
They moved swiftly and without incident.
Approximately the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the four had ventured deep into the heart of the medicinal fields. Here, large patches of Saint Medicines appeared, with myriad rays of divine light and streams of auspicious colors.
Suddenly, an area formed by nine Saint Trees, all appearing as pure jade, began to emit brilliant light. Nine medicinal spirit light pillars of different colors shot up into the sky, intertwining in mid-air to form the illusory figure of an old man wearing simple hemp clothing and holding a medicinal hoe.
The old man's face was indistinct, carrying a vast will that benefited all living beings.
"Later comers..." a hoarse, peaceful voice echoed through the heavens and earth. "To be able to reach this point safely shows that you have a connection with the medicinal Dao, and your character and methods are both extraordinary. However, to obtain my core Legacy, you must pass three trials."
"The three halls ahead are the 'Dan Heart Hall,' the 'Medicine Soul Hall,' and the 'Saint Dao Hall.' Only by passing the trials within the three halls will you be qualified to inherit my mantle."
"Within each hall lie opportunities, and also dangers. Life and death... each person's fate is their own."
As the voice faded, the old man's illusory figure slowly dissipated, transforming back into the nine medicinal spirit light pillars and returning to the Saint Trees.
At the same time, the entire Medicine Saint's遗府 trembled slightly, as if some restriction had been lifted. The space became more stable, and the doors of the three great halls boomed open, emitting an ancient and alluring aura.
Almost the instant the hall doors opened, sounds of breaking air and powerful energy fluctuations could be vaguely heard from various directions within the remnant mansion. Clearly, others who possessed special means or were extremely lucky had finally broken through the outer Dan formations and were beginning to converge towards the core area.
"Three trials?" Xuanyuan Che's lips curved slightly. "This saves us the trouble of exploring them one by one."
"Sister Mu just obtained the Star God Fruit, and her Sword Soul has just condensed. The aura of this hall is most compatible with you, and your opportunity might be the greatest," Xuanyuan Che said. "Second Senior Sister has the deepest understanding of formations and alchemy, so the trial in the Dan Heart Hall should be easier. Third Senior Brother's lightning body is fierce, and the Saint Dao Hall should primarily be a test of combat strength, which is quite suitable."
"Let's split up and pass the trials as quickly as possible, then meet at the Saint Dao Hall," Xuanyuan Che made the arrangements. He had absolute confidence in his and his senior siblings' strength, and splitting up would be the most efficient.
"Alright!" Thunder Roar Ravine rubbed his fists, looking at the "Saint Dao Hall" emanating a powerful aura and fighting will, his battle spirit surging.
Mu Qingxue and Yun Mengyao also nodded in agreement; this would be a better training opportunity for them.
"Junior Brother, which hall are you going to?" Yun Mengyao asked.
Xuanyuan Che smiled, his gaze passing over the three halls to look deeper into this world of medicinal fields. There, Chaos Qi was faintly swirling, as if something was calling to his bloodline.
"I'm going to see where the greatest treasure of this ancient ruin is hidden. After you're done, use this to call me," he tossed each of them a small Chaos Jade Talisman. Then, his figure flickered, and he merged into the earth like wisps of smoke, following the bloodline sensation and directly heading towards the origin of the medicinal fields.
