Immortal Blood Pill

After bidding the two farewell, Jiang Xian returned to the Swallowed Star World through the Space Gate.

Jiang Xian appeared in his villa. There was still a year before the Golden Horned Beast's egg would reach Earth, and Babata would finish repairing the spaceship around that time as well.

So Jiang Xian planned to find somewhere to cultivate in seclusion. Jiangnan Base City was clearly unsuitable; he might accidentally hurt ordinary people when he broke through.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Xian decided to cultivate in seclusion on the Australian Continent. It happened to be uninhabited, so he could unleash his abilities freely. First, he notified all the major powers on Earth, forbidding anyone from going to the Australian Continent.

Then Jiang Xian rose into the air from the Mingyue Residential Area and set off toward the Australian Continent. He soon reached its center. Sitting cross-legged, he began cultivating the Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Art of the Great Five Elements Art.

In a daze, Jiang Xian seemed to find himself in the vast primordial ages, with desolation and deathly silence everywhere he looked. Far to the east, a blue-green pillar rose from the ground and pierced the clouds, supporting the entire sky alone. Before long, spiritual light flowed around the pillar, and it transformed into an unrivaled sovereign. With a raise of his hand, endless greenery spread across the earth, instantly breathing life into the barren, lifeless wilderness.

Soon, Jiang Xian condensed the "Azure Emperor Talisman" and the "Wood Sovereign Talisman."

Jiang Xian began circulating the Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Art. An invisible force forcibly drained the vitality and plant essence from all the surrounding trees. Their green branches rapidly yellowed, hardened, decayed, and turned into withered black wood. The lush grass carpeting the ground instantly drooped and curled, losing every trace of green. In a flash, the entire landscape went from brimming with life to a stretch of dead, barren earth.

Jiang Xian sighed and quickly stopped cultivating the Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Art. In the end, he could not cultivate freely on Earth.

The next day.

[Fang Han: "Brothers, Yan has refined all the Immortal corpses the group leader sent into Immortal Blood Pills. I'll send them to everyone now. One hundred each."]

[Fang Han: "Wishing you wealth and good fortune!"]

The group members quickly claimed the red packets.

[Jiang Xian: "@Fang Han, why are these Blood Pills called Immortal Blood Pills?"]

[Fang Han: "Brother Jiang, Yan told me these Blood Pills carry a trace of an Immortal's aura. Compared with ordinary Blood Pills, not only are they more potent when taken, but they also greatly increase your lifespan. One Blood Pill can add about 5,000 years to your life. That's why he named them Immortal Blood Pills."]

[Jiang Xian: "Hehehe, then Ye Fan's in luck. These can serve as resources for his early cultivation and extend his lifespan too. Lifespan anxiety is way too severe in the Shrouding the Heavens World. He might even be able to sell them and make a fortune."]

[Ye Fan: "Brother Jiang, these Immortal Blood Pills really are useful to me. But it's not like you don't know what my world is like. If I tried selling them, a whole bunch of old fossils would definitely come rob me."]

[Jiang Xian: "Old fossils? You've hit my keyword. Ye Fan, I got a new talent that can instantly execute anyone whose health or remaining lifespan is below 15%."]

[Jiang Xian: "You can put the Immortal Blood Pills up for sale and lure those old fossils into robbing you. Then I'll come out and execute every last one of them. We'll be making a profit without putting up any capital. Hehehe!"]

[Ye Fan: "Great idea, Brother Jiang. Let's work out the details later. Hehehe!"]

[Xiao Yan: "Wait, Brother Jiang, Ye Fan, why do you two sound so much like villains?"]

[Jiang Xian: "Xiao Yan, don't go spouting nonsense. Since when do villains laugh 'hehehe'? Villains only go 'kekekeke.'"]

[Xiao Yan: "..."]

[Fang Han: "Everyone, haven't you noticed how ridiculously overpowered Brother Jiang's talent is? He's the bane of old men!"]

[Xiao Yan: "Which of Brother Jiang's talents isn't ridiculously overpowered? I'm getting a little numb to it."]

[Shi Hao: "Big Brother Jiang Xian really is amazing!"]

[Ye Fan: "I'll go try out this Immortal Blood Pill first."]

After claiming their Immortal Blood Pills, everyone soon began cultivating.

Shrouding the Heavens World, Spirit Ruins Paradise.

In a secluded stone chamber in Spirit Ruins Paradise, Ye Fan sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, a blood-red pill shimmering with a faint immortal light resting in his palm.

He took a deep breath and put the Immortal Blood Pill into his mouth. It dissolved instantly, and a gentle yet immensely powerful surge of pure medicinal energy flowed through his meridians into every part of his body. A sense of enduring longevity enveloped him as medicinal energy continually welled up within his limbs and bones, tempering his body.

The medicinal energy penetrated his internal organs and sank all the way down to the Wheel of Life deep within his lower abdomen.

The Wheel of Life, which had long lain dormant, suddenly shook violently. The source of divine power slumbering within it abruptly seethed and churned, sending warm, mighty divine power surging out without end.

Ye Fan's mind sharpened. Not daring to delay, he immediately circulated the "Dao Scripture." Dao patterns faintly appeared around his body as he directed all the divine power within him to charge at the barrier, throwing everything into breaking through the Bitter Sea threshold.

Boom!

A tremendous crash rang out within his body, and the barrier deep within his Dao foundation shattered.

A boundless Bitter Sea took shape in the lower part of his body. There was not a trace of darkness in it; instead, dazzling golden radiance filled the sky, and vast golden waves churned endlessly, their crests surging into the clouds.

Lightning roamed above the Bitter Sea, serpentine bolts tearing freely through the void as peals of thunder echoed ceaselessly within the Dao abode of his flesh. Golden divine light shot skyward from the sea's surface, brilliant and dazzling. Radiant golden light shone everywhere.

Enveloped in endless golden light, Ye Fan's golden Bitter Sea took stable form. Its foundation was deep and solid, far surpassing the ordinary Bitter Seas opened by cultivators of the same realm. Even after the Bitter Sea had opened, a great deal of medicinal energy remained unspent. Vast quantities of vital essence surged out and gradually gathered together, forming a Divine Spring that rushed into the Bitter Sea. It actually carved out a Life Spring opening directly within the Bitter Sea.

Ye Fan had actually reached the Life Spring Realm in one go.

He slowly ceased circulating his cultivation and opened his eyes, a lingering radiance still shining in them. Filled with shock and delight, he hurriedly opened the Heavenly Chat Group and sent a message.

[Ye Fan: "Brothers, the Immortal Blood Pill's effects are absolutely heaven-defying! Just now, its medicinal energy made the source of divine power at my Wheel of Life boil over. I circulated the 'Dao Scripture' and used the momentum to break through, opening a golden Bitter Sea and then reaching the Life Spring Realm directly."]

[Jiang Xian: "Ye Fan, you've broken through ahead of time. Won't that Elder Han secretly make his move against you early too? Though I get the feeling he probably can't beat you anymore."]

[Ye Fan: "Group leader, you have a point. I'm planning to strike first and send that old man to his grave."]

[Jiang Xian: "All right. Call me for backup anytime if there's trouble. I'm the sternest father old men could have now, especially in the Shrouding the Heavens World, haha."]

[Ye Fan: "All right, Brother Jiang. If things go wrong, I'll call you immediately."]

Jiang Xian planned to cultivate the remaining two techniques of the Great Five Elements Art first: the Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi and the Black Emperor Water Sovereign Fist. He would take the Immortal Blood Pills after successfully cultivating them.

In less than a month, Jiang Xian had attained basic mastery of the entire Great Five Elements Art, and his comprehension of the corresponding five elemental laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth had all crossed the threshold of the Origin Laws.
