A Wealth of Heavenly Treasures, Returning to the Sacred Realm!
"Fellow Ao Zhuo, when I reached the Eternal Rank in Dao of Alchemy, I observed some projections left behind by the ancients and obtained a method for refining a pill called the Origin Pill."
Lin An said, "That's why I want to collect some Eternal Rank rare and precious materials to refine this Origin Pill."
"Origin Pill? You actually know how to refine Origin Pill?"
Ao Zhuo's face showed surprise.
He was naturally familiar with the Origin Pill, as it was the most suitable pill for cultivation by experts at the Eternal Realm.
There is actually no fixed formula for refining this pill. As long as nine materials reach the Eternal Rank, the Origin Pill can be refined.
"That's right. Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to trust me and let me refine it?" Lin An asked with a smile.
"Haha, Fellow Lin An, you flatter me. If I kept these things here, I would only have refined them briefly; it would have been a waste."
"If Lin An is willing to help refine these materials into Origin Pill, I would be more than happy to do so."
After Ao Zhuo finished speaking, he handed the hundreds of rare and precious materials to Lin An, saying, "Lin An, please take them. This time, I will not let you work for nothing. According to the ancient rules, how about we take one out of three?"
In ancient times, if you asked someone to refine elixirs, you would generally need to prepare three sets of materials, one of which was the payment for refining the elixir.
Moreover, even if the alchemy fails, this reward will not be refunded.
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Lin An nodded. Ao Zhuo had given him a full 120 pieces of Eternal Rank natural treasures. If he took one-third of them, he would still have 40 pieces.
He was getting it for free, so of course he wouldn't refuse.
Of course, even if the other party is willing to believe him, he shouldn't be treated like a fool.
The remaining 80 rare and precious materials will need to be refined into at least fifteen batches of Origin Pill, roughly a hundred pills in total.
"Alright, once you've refined it, let me know so I can come and collect the pill."
"Of course, if you need someone to assist you in alchemy, you can notify me at any time," Ao Zhuo said.
"That's natural."
Lin An nodded, and the two continued to drink tea and chat, creating a lively atmosphere.
Another day passed, and Lin An finally bid farewell to Ao Zhuo and left the Dragon Race.
He didn't rush back to the Human Race, but went directly to the Nether Race.
Ye Li, the patriarch of the Nether Race, sensed Lin An's arrival, he naturally went to greet him personally.
Similar to their time in the Dragon Race, Ye Li took Lin An on a tour of the Nether Race, after which the two enjoyed tea and discussed philosophy.
Ye Li's strength was no weaker than Ao Zhuo's, and Lin An also gained something from this discussion.
Afterwards Lin An talked about refining the Origin Pill. In particular, after hearing that Ao Zhuo had already taken out hundreds of Eternal Rank natural treasures to order the Origin Pill, Ye Li also took out hundreds of Eternal Rank natural treasures without hesitation.
Lin An accepted it with a smile, chatted with the other party for another day, then left the Nether Race and headed to the Phoenix Race.
It wasn't until six months later, after Lin An left the clan of the last Eternal Realm expert, that he returned to the Human Race.
"This trip has been quite fruitful."
Lin An looked at the Eternal Rank rare and precious materials, which now numbered over a thousand.
These top races are indeed well-established; each of the nine Eternal Realm experts brought out over a hundred items.
While some powerful individuals hesitated before taking out their items, others, like Ao Zhuo and Ye Li, did so without the slightest hesitation.
"The Dragon Race, the Nether Race, and the Phoenix Race likely possess far more than just these hundred Eternal Rank rare treasures."
Lin An then stopped thinking about it. Of the thousands of Eternal Rank natural treasures, if the rule of choosing one out of three was followed, he could get more than three hundred of them.
"But actually, only one portion of these rare and precious materials isn't mine; the rest are all mine. All I need to do is take out nine of the refined Origin Pill and distribute them to Ao Zhuo and the others," Lin An said with a smile.
After all, with the added benefit of his Heart of Auxiliary Cultivation, the effects of the Origin Pill he refines will be enhanced by more than two thousand times.
These guys would normally only get a hundred or so Origin Pill at most, but now, although they only got one, its effect is equivalent to more than two thousand.
Moreover, there is no limit to the number of rare and precious materials required for refining the Origin Pill; it only requires at least nine.
He only needs to say that he has melted all the materials together and obtained the pill, and they probably won't investigate further.
As he pondered this, Lin An returned to the Human Race.
Meng Yuan had already prepared all sorts of rare and precious materials, just waiting for Lin An to return so he could refine pills.
After taking the materials, Lin An vanished into the void and began refining pills.
Refining Immortal Rank pills is extremely easy for him now. He doesn't even need to accelerate the opening time of the Auxiliary Cultivation Lotus Platform. In just about a quarter of an hour, he has already refined hundreds of millions of pills.
After handing the pills to Meng Yuan, Lin An went to the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land.
"It still makes me feel incredibly dangerous."
Lin An looked at the towering Heavenly Sword and sighed inwardly.
Even though he had already broken through to the Eternal True Source Realm, he still felt incredibly small in front of this Heavenly Sword.
He could sense that if the Heavenly Sword wanted, it could easily kill him with just a single sword strike.
He had no power to resist whatsoever.
Fortunately, this Heavenly Sword poses no danger to the Human Race now; on the contrary, it is helping Human Race.
"Next, we will set up a time-accelerating formation within this Heavenly Sword Sacred Land to speed up the cultivation of the Human Race."
As he thought about it, the Dao of Formations Lotus Platform beneath Lin An appeared, and then countless Dao patterns flew out to begin setting up the array.
This formation that accelerates the flow of time posed no challenge to Lin An, and at most, it would only slightly accelerate the flow of time in the Immortal Realm.
In just half a month, Lin An had set up the formation.
"We still need a core array point."
Lin An for a moment, then his eyes lit up as he took out the Anchor of Space-Time.
This treasure involves time and space, and since he has already reached the Eternal True Source Realm, it is of no use to him.
"Let's use this treasure as the core of the formation."
Lin An's heart stirred, and immediately a large number of array patterns flew out and were engraved on the Anchor of Space-Time.
Several hours later, Lin An waved his hand, and the Anchor of Space-Time flew out, then disappeared into the void.
Buzzing...
The next instant, the Anchor of Space-Time began to beat like a heart, and with its beating, the entire formation was activated.
Lin An clearly felt that after the formation was activated, the flow of time within the area increased by about a hundred times.
Of course, the accelerated flow of time at this level had no effect on him whatsoever.
If there were any living beings within the formation at this moment, he would see those beings experiencing the process a hundred times faster.
"With this formation in place, and the pills I've refined, the overall strength of the Human Race will surpass those top-tier races within ten years at most."
Thinking about it, Lin An found Xiao Wanjun and told him about the formation.
"Elder, I have set up a time acceleration array within the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land."
"As long as you're inside the formation, the flow of time will be a hundred times faster than outside."
"This is the control array plate for this formation. From now on, you will be in control of this formation."
Lin An handed a formation plate to Xiao Wanjun.
Xiao Wanjun looked at the array plate in his hand, his eyes shining.
How could he not know what a hundredfold time acceleration meant?
The Immortal Realm inherently grants an immeasurable lifespan, coexisting with the heavens and earth. Even if the flow of time is accelerated a hundredfold, it will not have the slightest impact on lifespan.
At the Immortal Realm level, only those who die in battle are known to die of old age; there has never been a case of someone dying of old age.
With time accelerated a hundredfold, coupled with the pills previously refined by the ancestor, the speed at which Human Race can enter the holy land for cultivation will be extremely fast.
"On behalf of the prodigies of my Human Race, I thank our ancestor," Xiao Wanjun said, bowing deeply.
"Since I am the ancestor of the Human Race, these are things I should naturally do."
Lin An waved his hand and said, "I will continue my seclusion for the next period of time. As for the date of my emergence, it is not yet determined."
"However, as before, I will leave an avatar among the Human Race. If anything happens, they can contact me through the avatar."
He has now reached the Eternal True Source Realm, but this is not the end; he wants to become even stronger.
As for how to become stronger, he had considered refining the Origin Pill.
However, after thinking about it, he decided to give up for the time being. It wasn't that he couldn't refine it, but rather that he remembered the token that the Realm Guardian had given him before.
After he breaks through to the True Source Realm, he will then enter the Sacred Realm.
Perhaps within the Sacred Realm, he will find the opportunity to break through from the True Source Realm to the Primordial Source Realm.
"I hope that when I return next time, the Human Race will be on par with top races like the Dragon Race," Lin An said.
"Rest assured, Ancestor, I will certainly supervise them well and live up to your expectations," Xiao Wanjun said.
Lin An nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
"Respectfully seeing off the Ancestor."
Xiao Wanjun bowed and said, only straightening up after a long while, looking at the array plate in his hand with great excitement.
"Summon the Council of Elders immediately to discuss this matter."
Xiao Wanjun thought about it and left as well.
At this moment, Lin An arrived in the void and took out the token that the Realm Guardian had given him earlier.
As the Origin Power surged into it, the token trembled slightly, then tore open the space in front of it, revealing a passage.
Without hesitation, Lin An entered the passage. When his vision returned, he found himself on the sea.
"Greetings... Senior."
Lin An greeted the figure sitting cross-legged not far away; the other party was naturally the Realm Guardian.
However, he also knew that the other party, in addition to Realm Guardian, was also the original will of this world.
The Realm Guardian glanced at Lin An and nodded slightly. "You are indeed much stronger than him."
"Thanks to the Ancestor's blessing."
Lin An replied that he knew the person the other person was referring to was Lin Chang.
If Lin Chang hadn't helped him, although he might have broken through to the Extreme Realm Ninth Heaven, it would have been almost impossible for him to overcome his Fate Tribulation and achieve Eternal.
After all, even if he reached the Extreme Realm Ninth Heaven, he would not be able to kill an Eternal Realm Sin Beast in its peak state.
"You have reached the True Source Realm. Here are the resources prepared for you to break through to the Primordial Source Realm."
The Realm Guardian's gaze was fixed on the seabed.
Lin An also looked over. Although he already knew about the situation of the Sacred Realm from Lin Chang, he was still surprised to see the hundreds of the Eternal Realm Sin Beast sealed under the sea.
Who would have thought that there would be over a hundred Eternal Realm Sin Beast here, beasts that would be enough to carve out a Sin Domain and become overlords in the outside world.
"These Sin Beast come from the Sin Abyss, not from the depravity of all living beings." At this moment Realm Guardian spoke.
"When the Sin Abyss attacked, it nurtured over a hundred beings at the Eternal Realm."
"While the Myriad Spirits Realm wasn't weak at the time, it didn't have nearly as many Eternal Realm."
"In the fierce battle, there were victories and defeats, but Sin Abyss held an absolute advantage."
"Later, the World Will intervened, expending considerable resources to imprison and seal these Eternal Sin Beast, but they could only imprison and seal them; they could not kill them at all."
"Once these Sin Beast are slain, their origins will return to the Sin Abyss World, and they will soon be reborn."
"But things are different now. The Sin Abyss is sealed, so even if these Sin Beast are killed, their essence will not be obtained by the Sin Abyss."
The Realm Guardian said, "You can slay these Sin Beast, seize their essence, refine it, and achieve the Primordial Source Realm."
Lin An nodded, but instead of taking action, he asked, "Since the Sin Abyss is sealed, why doesn't the World Will directly annihilate these Sin Beast and refine their essence to strengthen itself?"
"If we could refine it, this world would become even stronger, perhaps even unafraid of the Sin Abyss."
The Realm Guardian glanced at Lin An again, but didn't answer. He simply asked, "Do you know why the Sin Abyss was sealed?"
Lin An naturally shook his head. From the other party's description, it was clear that the Sin Abyss was far more powerful than the Myriad Spirits Realm.
This was also what puzzled him: if the Sin Abyss was stronger, why was it sealed away?
The Realm Guardian remained silent for a long while, then said, "You'll find out later."
Before Lin An could ask any further questions, the Realm Guardian simply vanished.
Lin An shook his head. Since the other party wouldn't say anything, he wouldn't press the matter further. He turned his gaze to the sealed Eternal Realm Sin Beast in the seabed.
"Although these Sin Beast have been sealed for an unknown period of time, their essence remains undamaged. If I were to kill them all and refine their essence, it would indeed be enough for me to break through to the Primordial Source Realm."
Thinking this, Lin An also took out the Condemnation, spotted one of the sealed Sin Beast, and then attacked.
As Lin An began hunting down the Sin Beast and refining their essence, the Realm Guardian did not leave, but watched quietly from a distance.
"This scene has to be finished eventually."
The Realm Guardian murmured, then sighed.
His gaze seemed to pierce through layers of space, looking towards some unknown place, where it met the eyes of a figure.
Why are you sighing like that? It makes me sound like the bad guy.
The young man was speechless. If it weren't for his existence, the entire Myriad Spirits Realm would have been devoured by the Sin Abyss long ago.
"The play may come to an end, but whether the ending will be good or bad is uncertain."
The young man's gaze fell on Lin An, who was hunting Sin Beast in the sea, and a look of great interest appeared on his face.
Lin An was completely unaware of this and continued to work hard to kill the sealed Eternal Realm Sin Beast.
