Heavenly Punishment descended, Nine-Transmutation Wrought Iron (13)

Beyond the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, amidst towering peaks that pierce the clouds.

Wu Xian suddenly looked up in the direction of Yunmeng Marsh, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Notice Wu Xian's actions.

Wu Ji and Wu Luo also turned their gazes to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range without prior arrangement.

Then they saw the dark clouds that covered almost half of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

What is that!?

Staring incredulously at the scene of lightning and thunder, Wu Ji asked a question.

Affected by the Heavenly Punishment, the Yuan Qi stable Hundred Lands Mountain Range began to tremble, showing signs of complete collapse.

What were Celestial Person?

Why are signs of a collapse of the natural order appearing in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range as well?

This time, it was Wu Luo who spoke. Despite his seemingly foolish wisdom, he also understood the true nature of this upheaval in the Yuan Qi.

If the Yuan Qi of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range also becomes unstable, then Great Xia will become the only place that can still stabilize the order of heaven and earth.

Let's set aside the impact this will have on the world.

The occurrence of such an event alone is enough to shatter the delicate balance that has been painstakingly maintained.

"It's Elixir of Immortality."

Just then, Wu Xian clenched his fist and said.

"A new Elixir of Immortality has been created, and thus it has incurred Heavenly Punishment!"

"The existence of the Elixir of Immortality violates the order of life and death and is something that is not allowed in this world."

"Is it not Heavenly Tribulation, but Heavenly Punishment?"

If we consider Heavenly Tribulation as a backlash caused by the convergence of Yuan Qi within a region over a short period of time.

So Heavenly Punishment is the anger from the entire world after the Yin-Yang Balance and the order of life and death have been overturned.

I looked up at the persistent thunder and lightning in the sky.

Li Boyang could clearly feel the determination to destroy the [Elixir of Immortality].

Unless the [Elixir of Immortality] completely disappears, this thundercloud will never disappear until it completely destroys the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

"Walk!"

After a brief moment of thought, Li Boyang suddenly waved his hand, slicing through the sky.

The next second, the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land] unfolded out of thin air.

Immediately afterward, before anyone could react, the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land] sucked Li Boyang, the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron, and the Purple-Gold Red Gourd into it.

Vortex... Vortex... Vortex...

Within the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land], Li Boyang continued to manipulate the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron.

As a result, the resonance between the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron and the Purple-Gold Red Gourd became increasingly pronounced, and the attraction from the [Elixir of Immortality] had exceeded the limits that these two Law Treasure could limit.

Just like Long Jikui's yearning for Lady Bagui and Divine Lord Meng Zhang.

This is an instinct of the [Elixir of Immortality] to replenish itself, a nature similar to that of biological courtship.

The only difference is that it is Kunwu, which has been specially refined by Li Boyang.

The [Elixir of Immortality] possesses an appeal far exceeding that of Lady Bagui and Divine Lord Meng Zhang.

Unfortunately, Li Boyang underestimated the allure of the [Elixir of Immortality] to Heavenly Punishment.

The thunderclouds outside did not dissipate due to the disappearance of the [Elixir of Immortality], and even dense thunderclouds began to gather inside the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land].

Rumble...

In the blink of an eye, Xiluo's figure appeared above Li Boyang.

"You focus on refining your pills; I'll handle this thundercloud!"

With a roar from Xiluo, endless malevolent flames erupted from the half-human, half-beast body, spreading across the sky like a fiery cloud.

At the same time, Xiluo also pulled out the [Baleful Force of the Five Punishments] from the top of her head and swung it out fiercely as a weapon.

Tumultuous!

In an instant, the thunderclouds in the sky were split in two.

From a distance, it looked as if the sky had been split open, with an astonishingly Ominous Baleful Intent aura surging outwards from the cracks.

This is precisely the most brutal characteristic of the [Baleful Force of the Five Punishments].

Even invisible thunderclouds and Yuan Qi, once torn apart by the [Baleful Force of the Five Punishments], are difficult to "heal".

This rift is a conceptual one, unrelated to the nature of the attacked party itself.

Even air, once torn apart by the [Baleful Force of the Five Punishments], will only leave behind a vacuum rift devoid of air.

Once Xiluo's strength reaches a certain level in the future...

It's not impossible for a hairpin to pierce through time and space, creating the strange phenomenon of A World Away Within Inches despite being so close.

"Understood! This Heavenly Punishment is yours!"

At this time, Li Boyang naturally chose to trust Xiluo unconditionally.

As his hands flew across the table, Li Boyang accelerated his alchemy process, causing Kunwu inside the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron to suffer even more.

Because He had to endure the pain of being scorched by flames while also striving to maintain the circulation of Yuan Qi within His body.

Only Kunwu himself can truly understand the feeling of this.

Here we must mention the material of Kunwu's body—the [Sea-Calming Cauldron].

The Sea-Calming Cauldron was forged by the original Witch King using Heavenly Outer Wrought Iron; it does not belong to this world.

In addition to being impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire.

The most mysterious aspect of that Heavenly Outer Wrought Iron is its ability to be infinitely stretched.

It was precisely because of this characteristic that Li Boyang had the opportunity to repeatedly refine the [Sea-Calming Cauldron].

As it was continuously infused with Yuan Qi, the [Sea-Calming Cauldron] grew larger and larger, and then shrank again through countless trials and tribulations.

Soon, the [Sea-Calming Cauldron] broke through its own limits and reached an unprecedented level of strength.

It subtly forms a vast gravitational field simply by relying on its own mass.

However, Li Boyang's forging of the [Sea-Calming Cauldron] was not merely for the purpose of enhancing its power.

Li Boyang's ultimate goal was to enable Kunwu to break free from this body and ascend to become a true Heavenly Deity.

Boom!

Once the quality of the [Sea-Calming Cauldron] reaches a certain level.

Kunwu's consciousness finally repelled its physical body, and a completely new sense descended upon its consciousness.

[Primordial Spirit?]

The thought flashed through Kunwu's mind, and he immediately understood.

Kunwu had certainly heard of the "Primordial Spirit Formula" proposed by Li Boyang.

This is a shortcut to achieving the Primordial Spirit, a heretical method that allows one to manifest the Primordial Spirit without needing to cultivate the "Perception Method" to its fullest extent.

The principle behind this is to awaken the Primordial Spirit ahead of time through fixed rules and conditions.

However, what Kunwu didn't expect was that Li Boyang was now able to do it without the cultivators needing to learn the "Primordial Spirit Formula".

The three-dimensional Bagua formation composed of the [Taiji Diagram] is Li Boyang's "formula" for filtering and distributing primordial Yuan Qi, assisting Kunwu in awakening his Primordial Spirit ahead of schedule.

This technique was originally used to refine the Primordial Spirit Pill, so it's not entirely out of place to apply it to Kunwu now.

The only difference between the two is that Kunwu has an extra step in its process, rather than directly gathering the heavenly materials and earthly treasures and Yuan Qi into a pill.
