Transcendent and Unworldly

The black cauldron vibrated, emitting waves of precious light. Bai Yixin and Little Shi Hao had been sealed inside for over an hour. From time to time, the lid was jolted open, splashing golden liquid that released an intoxicating, rich fragrance.

Bai Yixin sat at the bottom of the cauldron, his expression solemn and his body motionless. His flesh and blood glowed as he immersed himself in a strange state, the Wind and Rain Summoning Art operating rapidly on its own.

On one hand, he refined the essence light enveloping him, tempering runes into his flesh and blood, melting them into rosy clouds and transforming them into Divine Radiance. Every drop of blood turned into a rune, becoming an eternal divine furnace that emitted boundless light to nourish his own body.

On the other hand, the surging divine brilliance and essence were converted into spiritual power. Bai Yixin's Qi Refining cultivation rose steadily. Vaguely, an eight-story tower emerged, gradually solidifying until it "grew" a ninth floor, resembling a celestial building.

Bai Yixin breathed in and out divine brilliance, an otherworldly aura quietly enveloping him. He seemed like a True Immortal descended to the world, standing aloof and independent, undisturbed by the outside world as he slowly shed his mortal shell.

The golden liquid remained boiling, never drying up. Bai Yixin floated within it, his entire body crimson as if he were about to bleed. The golden liquid continuously entered his body through his pores, then carried out impurities in a repeated baptism.

This was a terrifying process, extremely violent. Had Bai Yixin not long ago consciously trained his tolerance for pain and possessed a firm will, he might not have been able to endure it and would have been pained to death!

The golden liquid did not merely wash over him; it invaded his body, crashing wildly like bone-splitting and flesh-grinding. Snapping tendons was a common occurrence, and his internal organs repeatedly jumped between tearing and healing.

Bai Yixin gritted his teeth, remaining motionless as he drew the golden liquid to baptize his body. From the outside in, his whole body shone. Despite the excruciating pain, he felt his spirit becoming increasingly full. The celestial tower behind him grew clearer, and a shadow of a tenth floor faintly emerged.

Little One's movements were also significant. His whole body erupted with divine brilliance, light spots appearing one after another, dense and numerous. Every drop of his blood became a divinity, breathing in divine brilliance. Inside, it was as if one deity after another sat cross-legged, as if countless deities were chanting, reciting scriptures, and glowing, illuminating the blue sky.

"This phenomenon is so mysterious!" the villagers stared, their tense emotions easing somewhat.

"How long will this take, Chief?" Shi Feijiao asked.

"It's hard to say. The duration of the baptism varies greatly, ranging from one day to three months," Shi Yunfeng frowned.

"What?" Everyone was stunned. No wonder the old chief had them chop Black Flood Dragon Wood and prepare so much of this firewood.

But to the villagers' surprise, Bai Yixin and Little One were like Taotie. In just one day, before the sun had even set, the liquid in the black cauldron was about to dry up, its divine essence nearly absorbed.

"Chief Grandpa, the liquid is about to dry up!" Bai Yixin and Little One shouted in unison.

"It is done!" Shi Yunfeng was overjoyed. He had someone lift the lid, and they saw that Bai Yixin and Little Shi Hao were translucent, their pores emitting radiance.

Seeing the baptism had gone unexpectedly smoothly, Shi Yunfeng did not hesitate. "Prepare the crimson precious horn of the Blazing Fire Bull Demon and the arm of the Demon Ape. Draw their blood!"

Shi Linhu drew out the Primordial True Blood contained within the horn, which was as red as rosy clouds, and released the black liquid from the ape's arm, pouring them into the cauldron.

"Moo!"

In an instant, the roar of a Wild Bull made people's scalps tighten, nearly causing them to collapse to the ground.

"Roar..."

Then came the long howl of a demon. A Demon Ape appeared in the cauldron, raging alongside the crimson Blazing Fire Bull and slamming against the cauldron.

Afterward, that golden treasure—the heart—also birthed a Suanni, with ten thousand rays of golden light, crashing against the cauldron along with them.

"Cover the lid!" the old chief commanded.

The three types of True Blood mixed together, reacting violently. The crimson Blazing Fire Bull Demon, the golden Suanni, and the black Demon Ape were all Primordial Remnants, struggling and colliding fiercely, trying to shatter the cauldron.

But this black cauldron was no ordinary object.

The black cauldron shook, and the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, fish, and insects on its surface became much more realistic, as if they were coming to life. A mysterious aura radiated, and the runes on the cauldron wall lit up one after another, as if burning themselves.

The roars of various fierce birds and beasts echoed out. Although faint, it was truly not a hallucination.

At this moment, the cauldron walls gradually became transparent, beginning to refine the golden liquid inside. The ancient ancestors on the cauldron walls became increasingly realistic, emitting waves of sacrificial sounds, followed by the sound of chanting that never ceased.

The Suanni, Demon Ape, and Blazing Fire Bull Demon trembled, their angry roars making people's eardrums ache. They were originally divine phantoms, but now their voices echoed truly within the village, causing awe. They made a final struggle, crashing against the cauldron together as if they truly wanted to pierce the walls.

But that was wishful thinking. They were merely residual consciousnesses within the essence blood, unable to stir up any waves. They were soon dismantled, and the black cauldron refined them into three-colored beams of divine light, which merged into the three-colored liquid inside.

Both the people and the cauldron were brilliant, emitting various runes and Dao sounds. The area was filled with clouds and mist, flowing with light and color, a magnificent sight.

This process lasted for a day and a night. Finally, everything calmed down. The lid was knocked open, and Little One leaped over twenty meters high, rushing into the high sky.

Bai Yixin followed closely behind, floating into the sky. He passed the descending Little One and stood in the clouds alongside a passing Green-Scaled Eagle.

"So this is the feeling of flying," Bai Yixin laughed heartily. His body shook, and the charred old skin was shattered and carried away by the wind, revealing a fair, crystalline, petite body flashing with precious light.

Although only a great cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage could fly and burrow into the earth on their own, after the baptism, the dual-cultivating Bai Yixin could now support flight in the air for a considerable time using the power within his body.

The villagers were stunned. Just now, Little One had knocked open the heavy lid and leaped over twenty meters high with it, which had already left them dumbfounded. They hadn't expected there to be an even more outrageous one who went straight into the sky!

When Bai Yixin landed back on the ground, men, women, and children surrounded him, sealing him in tightly, pinching and touching him, all teasing him.

That would have been fine, but there were even men trying to flick his little brother. Could he endure this?

Bai Yixin directly pushed the man to the ground, stripped off his clothes, and put them on himself.

"Little Bai, come over and lift the cauldron, too. Test how strong your physical body is," the old chief Shi Yunfeng laughed loudly and said.

"Okay!" Bai Yixin felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He quickly escaped the group of laughing, strong men who were touching him everywhere and ran to the side.

For these villagers who treated him like their own child, Bai Yixin couldn't bring himself to use force. It was fortunate the old chief intervened, otherwise, who knows how long he would have been toyed with.

This scene was like relatives coming over during the holidays to chat with you about your studies, work, or whether you've found a girlfriend. You can't put on a cold face, so you can only wait awkwardly.
