The True Elixir of Immortality (33)

If you're bold enough, have a wild enough imagination, and are fully motivated to act.

The Six Witches of Kaiming ultimately decided to use the corpse of the Longbo Giants as a breeding ground for cultivating the Immortality Herb.

Although the Giant Kun that roams the Northern Dark Sea possesses a more powerful life force than the Longbo Giants, such legendary beings are not something that can be found easily.

In addition, the Battle of the East Sea resulted in countless deaths and injuries among the giants of the Longbo Kingdom.

Picking out the most powerful giant's corpse would not only be risk-free, but might even go unnoticed.

Long Jikui was selected under these circumstances to become the first-phase test subject.

With the help of the [Immortality Cauldron], the immense life force of the Longbo Giants was condensed, nurturing the prototype of the Immortality Herb.

Although the process had some minor setbacks, it went smoothly overall.

The next step is the second stage of cultivating the Immortality Herb —absorbing the essence of the gods.

Thanks to the groundwork laid in the first stage, the corpse of the Long Jikui constantly exudes a strange vitality that attracts creatures with a tenacious will to survive.

Ordinary creatures will only become nutrients for the Immortality Herb to grow.

The gods will then guide it toward becoming the true "Elixir of Immortality."

In Wu Peng's vision, this Immortality Herb would eventually absorb the essence of heaven and earth, giving birth to the strongest and most perfect "Elixir of Immortality".

Divine Lord Meng Zhang and Lady Bagui accidentally entered the corpse of Long Jikui and almost became part of the "Elixir of Immortality".

"Fully automated refining of the Elixir of Immortality?"

"Or more precisely, is it artificially simulating the conditions for the growth of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and then using the power of heaven and earth to create an Elixir of Immortality that surpasses even the Immortality Herb?"

"Your idea is quite novel, and it's also highly feasible!"

Li Boyang admitted that the Six Witches of Kaiming did indeed have very creative minds, and their ideas were particularly imaginative and unconventional.

"The only downside is that this process is completely uncontrollable..."

"Even with the help of the Immortality Cauldron, the chances of you creating a monster are far greater than creating Elixir of Immortality."

Upon hearing this, Wu Peng immediately thought of the Long Jikui, which his six siblings regarded as a finished product.

Although in theory, it was already close to the complete version of the [Elixir of Immortality].

But that thing suddenly and strangely went out of control.

The Six Witches of Kaiming were unaware of the existence of the two "survivors," Lady Bagui and Divine Lord Meng Zhang, and initially thought that there was a mistake in some procedure.

"No, as long as we can reunite that Lady Bagui with the God-Terrifying Corpse, we will definitely be able to refine the perfect Elixir of Immortality!"

Perhaps it was because it involved his lifelong pursuit and aspirations.

Wu Peng, having abandoned his previous despondency, spoke in a firm tone.

However, Li Boyang simply smiled and remained silent.

This caused Wu Peng's initial firmness to turn into apprehension.

Because he suddenly realized that the Celestial Person being sitting in front of him also had the title of "prophet".

Even the most skilled Wu Ji among the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain...

They also greatly admired this Celestial Person's mastery of divination.

"Did you foresee something?"

Perhaps driven by his obsession with "creating Elixir of Immortality," Wu Peng actually took the initiative to ask further questions.

This Elixir of Immortality was created by the Six Witches of Kaiming using their own knowledge and abilities, based on the records in the [Immortality Cauldron].

Therefore, even Wu Peng, whose Barrier Domain had been broken, was eager to know what flaws this Elixir of Immortality still had.

"Did you think only Lady Bagui escaped?"

Looking at the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron facing up in his hand, Li Boyang smiled and asked in return.

"Those who raise venomous insects normally know to create a completely closed environment and bring all the poisonous insects under their control."

"But you want to refine Elixir of Immortality, yet you don't even know what the auxiliary ingredients are."

"There are so many gods in the world, and the abilities of all living beings are incredibly diverse..."

"Who can guarantee that they wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of the Immortality Herb?"

After a slight pause, Li Boyang looked at the dumbfounded Wu Peng and continued.

"Moreover, you've overlooked a crucial factor..."

"You think the creation of the elixir of Elixir of Immortality was inevitable?"

"But have you ever considered that perhaps your ability to cultivate the Elixir of Immortality is just a coincidence?"

"Logically speaking, no matter how many living beings or gods are absorbed by the giant's corpse, it's all just a tree without roots or water without a source; it can't even form a basic cycle."

"Unless new beings and deities continue to be added to it, your so-called Elixir of Immortality will eventually wither away."

"So here's the question: have you ever considered what caused this inevitability?"

Shaking his head blankly, Wu Peng knew that Li Boyang's theory was indeed correct.

Using countless "coincidences" to build up an "inevitability" is precisely the method Six Witches of Kaiming to concoct the Elixir of Immortality.

This is somewhat similar to how Li Boyang used the "particle collider" in his previous life.

They all explore those limited possibilities through countless attempts, eventually locking onto and finding their true goal.

Then, based on this, we can conduct reverse research and establish theories, thereby transforming the unknown, which could only be explored through coincidence, into a scientific system that is based on reason and evidence.

However, in this world where mythology and Heavenly Mandate truly exist.

Li Boyang, wielding the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron, was able to skip those tedious trials and directly arrive at the final conclusion.

"It is Lady Bagui, or more accurately, it should be the union of Lady Bagui and the Way of the Celestial Person."

As he spoke with certainty, a hint of realization and understanding flashed in Li Boyang's eyes.

"As Innate Deity, Lady Bagui managed to escape the aftereffects of Wu Yi Shoots at Heaven using the Method of the Celestial Person."

"When she became part of the Immortality Herb, she perfectly compensated for Immortality Herb greatest flaw..."

"This allows the Immortality Herb's life force to self-circulate, enabling it to draw nourishment from the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to continue its growth."

"So, Lady Bagui isn't the side ingredient you're talking about at all."

"On the contrary, Lady Bagui is the most important core ingredient besides the God-Terrifying Corpse, and it is also the key to the transformation of the Immortality Herb into the Elixir of Immortality."

Just as Li Boyang made this judgment, the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron in his hand suddenly stopped, facing backwards.

Fortunately, Wu Peng, still in shock, did not notice this.

"Alright, let's leave the discussion about the Elixir of Immortality here for now!"

Without making a sound, Li Boyang put away the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron and suddenly changed the subject as if nothing had happened.

"Next, let's talk about the East Sea, and what exactly is going on with the floods in your Great Xia."
