The size of this palace is unknown; apart from the surrounding giant pillars and the high platform in front, there is nothing else.
Stepping to the front of the stage, Xu Long tried to put it away, only to find that it was just a large rock.
Behind the high platform was a formation.
Although Xu Long was not an expert in formations, he could still tell that it was a teleportation array.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Long crushed a Spirit Stone and injected its spiritual energy into the formation.
A faint light flickered, and a mysterious fluctuation spread out. Xu Long's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
As if passing through a barrier, Xu Long opened his eyes and found himself in a large hall that was similar to the one before.
Eighteen giant pillars, a high platform.
Unlike before, this place is no longer gloomy and terrifying; instead, it is full of life.
Seated on the high platform was a majestic man, wearing a beaded crown and a robe with nine dragons supporting the sky, his appearance heavy and profound, like a celestial emperor.
" Xu Long, human, twenty-one years old."
"You killed 57,367,844 criminals in South Korea, 136,577,891 criminals in Japan, 1,295,692,503 criminals in Africa, and 23,645,549 criminals in the United States..."
"A total of 1.8796 billion heinous criminals were killed, indirectly helping 8.7 billion people..."
"When I was eighteen, I helped an old lady cross the street..."
"At seventeen, I was feeding stray dogs..."
At sixteen years old...
"..."
"Throughout your life, you have been helpful, dedicated to your work, and fiercely opposed to evil. Heaven, moved by your kind heart, has bestowed upon you an elixir of immortality. Consuming it will grant you immediate ascension to the Heaven Realm, allowing you to attain the status of an immortal!"
The voice that came from the high platform was no longer gloomy and heavy, but rather as pleasant as a spring breeze.
The previous scolding and indifference disappeared, replaced by praise and commendation.
At the same time, a golden pill flew from the front and slowly came to a stop in front of Xu Long.
The pills were about the size of walnuts, with smooth surfaces and a pleasant, refreshing aroma.
Xu Long glanced at it, and the relevant attributes were immediately displayed.
Name: Mountain-Subduing Divine Pill
Level: None
Type: Consumables/Other
Origin: Fengdu City
Effect:
1. Significantly enhances cultivation and Body Tempering after use. Contains a trace of immortal artifact Spirit Rhyme; there is a high chance of being refined into an immortal slave after consumption. The summoner possesses the Power of Oblivion and is immune to this effect, so it can be consumed with confidence.
Note: The power of this elixir can suppress mountains.
" The Mountain-Subduing Divine Pill, the Great Emperor of Fengdu... it seems the legend is mostly true. The Great Emperor of Fengdu and the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak have a close relationship."
Xu Long sighed inwardly and put the Mountain-Subduing Divine Pill into his mouth without hesitation.
boom!
The Mountain-Subduing Divine Pill truly lived up to its name. Xu Long's cultivation had only recently broken through to the Mountain-Subduing Divine Pill Spirit Severing Stage, but after swallowing just one pill, he instantly broke through the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.
A dense Power of Oblivion erupted from within him, destroying the surrounding space.
The man on the platform saw the scene before him, his expression changed instantly, then quickly returned to normal.
"This is really good stuff!"
Xu Long exclaimed in surprise, withdrawing the Power of Oblivion from the surrounding area, and the space began to slowly repair itself.
"Senior, do you have any more divine pills?"
Xu Long's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, his face filled with longing.
Such good things are always welcome in greater quantities.
"Hmm? Just one Mountain-Subduing Divine Pill can make a mortal ascend to immortality, what do you need so many for?"
The figure asked with a dignified expression.
"The cultivation method I practice is very special, requiring hundreds of times the energy of an ordinary person to break through. The Mountain-Subduing Divine Pill you just gave me barely allowed me to break through a minor realm. If I want to ascend to immortality, I'll need at least fifty more."
Xu Long tilted his head back and said.
"Fifty? You think these are candies? You can't just give me as many as you want? Here are ten more, that should be enough for a breakthrough."
The figure snorted coldly, and then ten Mountain-Subduing Divine Pill floated down.
Upon seeing the divine pill, Xu Long feigned an expression of ecstatic joy, "Thank you so much, senior!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Long immediately put the pill into his mouth.
boom!
A terrifying energy exploded within his body, then was rapidly absorbed.
Xu Long's cultivation level improved rapidly, reaching the Late Spirit Severing Stage in just ten breaths.
Instead of rushing to break through, he channeled all the energy into his True Dragon Clone.
As the strongest race in ancient times, the dragon race possesses immense power, and naturally, it consumes a great deal of energy.
Having absorbed the energy of over two thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stone and numerous Mountain-Subduing Divine Pill, he had only just reached the Spirit Severing Stage.
"Senior, it seems we're still a little short!"
"Absorb all the energy," Xu Long said shamelessly, with a smug grin.
"Just a little bit more?"
Upon hearing Xu Long's words, the figure trembled.
He hadn't expected Xu Long to be such a big eater. Eleven Mountain-Subduing Divine Pill, enough to create eleven Immortal Slaves at the Earth Immortal Realm level, weren't enough for Xu Long.
But the more this happened, the happier he became.
The more energy required, the stronger Xu Long is.
At this rate of energy expenditure, if he could reach the Earth Immortal Realm realm, even ordinary Heavenly Immortal would probably be no match for Xu Long.
Thinking of this, the figure waved his hand, and ten more Mountain-Subduing Divine Pill flew through the air.
"Thank you so much, senior!"
Xu Long was overjoyed and swallowed all the pills without hesitation.
The energy within his body surged continuously, but it all flowed into the True Dragon Clone.
Mid Spirit Severing Stage...
Late Spirit Severing Stage...
Early Body Integration Stage...
Mid Body Integration Stage...
The Mountain-Subduing Divine Pill truly lived up to its name, actually allowing Xu Long's clone to break through a major realm.
"Still haven't broken through? Is there something wrong with your body? Are you not up to it?"
Seeing that Xu Long's aura was still in the Late Spirit Severing Stage, the figure was very puzzled.
You're no good! Your whole family is no good either!
Xu Long cursed inwardly, then continued shamelessly, "Senior, I can already sense the barrier. Ten more pills, and I'm sure I can break through."
"Fine! I'll give you one last chance!"
Although Xu Long's consumption was a bit ridiculous, the figure still took out ten Mountain-Subduing Divine Pill.
Xu Long couldn't figure out whether it was low IQ or simply a lack of common sense, but he actually believed it.
But there's no reason not to take advantage of what's already in hand. Let's ignore everything else for now and focus on making a breakthrough.
Nine-tenths of the energy from the Mountain-Subduing Divine Pill were given to the True Dragon Clone, and one-tenth was used for breakthrough.
Rumble!
His aura suddenly surged, followed by lightning and thunder.
Thick, dark clouds gathered almost instantly, with countless bolts of lightning flashing and dancing within them.
"What happened? Why is there a heavenly tribulation when you break through?"
The intense white light shone on their faces, leaving the figure on the platform in disbelief.
Why would someone who is only in the Late Spirit Severing Stage attract a heavenly tribulation? And why is the power of this tribulation stronger than that of Tribulation Transcendence Stage?
