Universe Creation Pill

Xue Fuyao had already decided to bring Shadow One and the others into the Cultivation Realm together.

Not to mention anything else, with them around, she would have an extra layer of safety upon entering the Cultivation Realm.

As for Shadow One and the others' status as mortals, she was not actually worried about this point, as she knew of a place that could allow mortals to also possess spiritual roots and cultivate, though the process would be a bit painful.

That place was originally Xue Fuyao's backup plan; if she did not obtain what she wanted here on Lingjiu Mountain, then she would go to that place.

Shadow One took the manual handed over by Xue Fuyao, his eyes brimming with excitement.

"Rest assured, Your Highness, we will definitely not disappoint your expectations."

In the blink of an eye, night fell swiftly, and the moon climbed up the treetops.

Xue Fuyao leaned against a rock all by herself.

The moss on the surface of the rock had already been cleared away, and Xue Fuyao looked up at the moon. For some reason, she always felt that today's moon seemed exceptionally bright.

As the moonlight fell upon the rock behind her, the surface of the rock began to emit a faint shimmer, and an arcane Eight Trigrams pattern appeared on the surface of the rock.

Seeing this, Xue Fuyao felt a sudden impulse and placed her hand on that pattern.

The instant her palm made contact with the pattern, Xue Fuyao only felt her vision go dark, and her head felt as though someone had struck it fiercely with a stone, causing her to lose consciousness instantly.

She did not know how much time had passed, but when she opened her eyes once again, she was abruptly stunned to find herself situated within an unfamiliar environment.

Seeing this, far from being afraid, Xue Fuyao was extremely excited instead, because she sensed it-that was the aura of spiritual qi, and moreover, an extremely dense aura of spiritual qi.

After carefully observing her surrounding environment, Xue Fuyao discovered that she was located inside a tunnel, with lit torches on the stone walls on both sides extending all the way into the distance, as if illuminating the direction forward for her.

Seeing this, Xue Fuyao thought to herself that even a blind person entering here could leave safely, so presumably there should be no danger here.

Although she thought this way, every step Xue Fuyao walked remained extremely careful, just in case that person really had simply been lucky.

Fortunately, however, nothing happened all the way along this journey.

When she finally arrived at the end of the tunnel, a huge cavern-no, rather than calling it a cavern, referring to it as a cave abode was somewhat more accurate.

Although Xue Fuyao had achieved nothing in the Cultivation Realm, she still possessed the discernment she ought to have; this place was clearly the cave abode of a cultivator, and moreover, this cultivator's cultivation level was not low.

This involuntarily reminded her of another rumor within the Cultivation Realm.

According to legend, a long time ago, the Floating Life Continent had no division between the Cultivation Realm and the Mortal Realm; it was only later that cultivators completely disregarded the lives of mortals and slaughtered them wantonly. An almighty expert could not bear to watch it, and at the cost of exhausting his entire body's cultivation, separated the Cultivation Realm from the Mortal Realm, setting up a barrier in the Mortal Realm to prevent practitioners of cultivation from easily stepping foot into the Mortal Realm, and causing them to suffer suppression even if they entered the Mortal Realm.

Being able to accomplish this showed what terrifying depths that almighty expert's cultivation had reached back then.

At this time, Xue Fuyao could not help suspecting whether this cave abode was precisely the cave abode of that almighty expert from back then.

After all, that almighty expert had used his own cultivation as the price, and since he had done the deed of splitting the Floating Cloud Continent in two, it was impossible that no one held a grudge against him. In order to avoid falling into the hands of those people, his best method was to hide within the Mortal Realm.

Right at this moment, the entire cave abode began to tremble slightly, and following that, the space before Xue Fuyao began to distort. A tall, blurry white figure appeared, emanating an otherworldly aura across its entire body.

Witnessing this scene, Xue Fuyao was first shocked, and subsequently cupped her fists and bowed respectfully, saying, "Junior Xue Fuyao greets Senior. I entered this place unintentionally, and I ask Senior not to blame me."

As the saying went, one does not hit a smiling person, especially now that she lacked even the slightest bit of retaliatory strength.

There were no such matters in the rumors; as expected, she had been too wishful in her thinking. Now she only hoped the other party was not some bad person, otherwise, in the event of being possessed, she would not possess a shred of resistance.

Just as Xue Fuyao was letting her imagination run wild, a burst of laughter suddenly came from above her head.

That sound seemed to have traversed a long river of time before falling into Xue Fuyao's ears.

"You little fellow are rather polite, but right now I am merely a wisped remnant consciousness, and I cannot bear to be called any senior."

At this time, Xue Fuyao mustered her courage to raise her head, gazed at the blurry figure before her, and asked, "Are you the almighty expert who isolated the Mortal Realm and the Cultivation Realm back then?"

"An almighty expert I can hardly be called; I merely couldn't bear the sight of those people indiscriminately harming the innocent. Little fellow, my time is running out, and I am very happy to be able to see you before I dissipate. The things here shall all be left to you, and I hope you can make good use of them."

As he spoke, the other party's originally blurry figure began to gradually grow faint.

No, just like this?

"Wait a moment, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? I can help you complete them."

Otherwise, she would feel somewhat uneasy taking these things.

Just now she had only swept her gaze over them roughly, and the good things inside this cave abode were quite numerous.

"No need, I have no unfulfilled wishes, and even less in the way of regrets. In my view, leaving regrets to descendants is a thoroughly tacky thing to do."

When he spoke the final word, the person's voice had already grown exceedingly illusory.

Watching the completely vanished figure, Xue Fuyao's hand remained suspended mid-air.

A moment later, she slowly withdrew her hand. Never mind, anyway the one taking advantage right now was her.

Xue Fuyao began to examine the items inside the cave abode. Even though she considered herself sufficiently knowledgeable and experienced, many of the items within the cave abode were things she had never seen before.

However, having never seen them did not matter, for the almighty expert had very considerately left behind an instruction manual.

According to what the book stated, the items inside this cave abode were the lifelong collection of the almighty expert, and every single one was a one-in-a-million masterpiece: magic tools, medicinal pills, and all sorts of heavenly treasures. Among them was precisely the item Xue Fuyao was looking for this time-the Universe Creation Pill.

Hearing the name alone made it known that this was no ordinary medicinal pill; it was concocted by taking the lotus seeds of the Creation Green Lotus and supplementing them with countless heavenly treasures, something that could no longer be described with the word 'rare'.

Consuming it could reshape one's innate talent; even an ordinary person completely devoid of talent could transform into an peerless genius after taking it, with comprehension and natural talent both reaching top-tier levels, and a cultivation speed beyond comparison for ordinary people, while simultaneously acquiring an immunity to all poisons and maladies.

Any evil objects or poisonous substances in the world would lose their effect against them.

In her previous life, that blind youth had suddenly vanished, and numerous disciples with outstanding talent had suddenly popped up within that cultivation lineage; the Cultivation Realm had been spreading rumors that the blind youth had most likely been captured by that lineage to serve as a blood slave.

This was because, although the Universe Creation Pill had been eaten by the blind youth, its medicinal efficacy had not vanished; on the contrary, the blind youth was a walking Universe Creation Pill.
